DeeDee!!

LOL!! That was me. BTW - it's good to see you over here. I'd like to think The site is small and cozy and nice place to have a discussion. But yeah, I haven't gotten the hang of these boards either. I'm working on it but I don't have much time.

I think the next few weeks are going to prove very interesting indeed!

Just popping back in here with a few more thoughts...

I do think that we would have to be hearing something about RH's contract situation pretty soon...the way I see it...if he is leaving at the end of May, and they are taping one month ahead, then that gives the writers only 3 weeks now until they start taping his last 4 weeks...

Now I guess that it would probably be to GT's advantage and ABC's advantage to delay that announcment as long as possible, however, LOL, at some point it is going to have to come out...although I do seem to remember that ABC didn't officially announce him leaving that last time until he had already finished taping?...LOLOL...aw well...that's suits for you...

What I think may happen is that FL will be back to have Tea and Todd leave the show together...from what I'm seeing on screen these days, they seem to be moving Blair back into Max's orbit...to possibly set up a later Max/Blair/Gabby triangle, although I think that I've heard that Gabby will initially be chasing after Asa...LOL...go, Gabby!...LOL.

Also, these spoilers tend to make me think that Blair's plan to 'seduce' Max into testfying for her will backfire when she gets herself pregnant with his baby in the process...LOL...since I do think RH is leaving and let's face it the dP's are 'lifers', I think putting permanent tie between Max and Blair would probably not be a bad thing...sets up future conflicts to be sure...also from JdP's/Tomlin's comments in the latest SOD it seems apparent to me that JdP's Max is going to become the new 'leading male' on this show...and that his latest round of sleeziness will be swept under the rug while making him sympathetic as Blair's victim...the scenes between Max and Renee were telling in that its clear the Max still has feelings for Blair, and I suspect she is feeling the same...or at least it will play out that way as time goes on...

DeeDee,
I love the way you think. Yes, I think Tomlin is a "James DePaiva" fan and he's going to build up a story and family for his character.

Will there be a Gabby/Max/Blair triangle? Will Blair be pregnant? Will it be Max or Todd? I think what Tomlin is BUILDING now is a situtation that can TURN in anyone of these directions QUICKLY DEPENDING on Howarth's decision to stay or go in May.

Howarth Stays: The baby is Todds. Will Blair be in love with Max or Todd. Will Todd know it's his or will he think it's Max's?

UNKNOWN: FL's return. IF FL returns in May, the story could move into another direction ENTIRELY different direction.

Howarth Goes: The baby is Max's. FL comes back and TnT go to California on a "Great Escape." LOL!!

Like you DeeDee I think if Howarth decides to leave, FL will come back for him. If Howarth decides to stay, FL's return will be tricker. Why? Because it means FL's stay has more a "permancy" to it. Ties will need to be re-established...a background built... and if I was FL I would want REASSURANCES that the character would NOT be so abissymally treated this time around like it was in the summer of 1999.

Me? I want FL back as "Téa" and not something temporary to escort Howarth off the show (greedy thing aren't I?)

oh, if Howarth elects to leave I definately see TPTB holding off on an announcement that he's leaving. "Todd" is an ICON to OLTL just like "Luke" is to GH and "Erika" is to AMC. His leaving will hurt - and Tomlin will take the blame and the suits will want to MIMIZIE that as much as they can.

Can wait for May!!

I think that they'll both be onscreen..it won't be short short like last time but it won't be 'long term' either...my gut is RH til September and FL gets the four month deal that Lisa Peluso just finished LOL! That would line them up contractually AND get them out to go to LA for pilot season!

Well, you know me, I'd love to see FL back. When is she suppose to start? Well, as long as it's longer than a week I'll be psyched? Why RH until September? Does he want to get off the bandwagon that bad? If it's a 4 month stint... it could tease them long enough to stick around...

Just tossing it out there...

Well you know..I'm speculating...lol...BUT I think it's entirely possible. Hey RH's out was at the end of May...four months would bring him to September ....if she started taping at the end of May , four months would be September...

Why September? Well with no strike, like I said, it gets them out in time for pilot season...
