Happy Birthday from over here too!
>OLTL seems fundamentally incapable of giving viewers a

>you want them to write the story with some kind of

>I'll start WAAY back. It looked like Roger the Dodger
>was pretty serious about leaving OLTL during SISP.
>So, what do they do? They bring back Florencia to
>reprise TnT Stroll Part DUH. The obvious no-brainer
>solution was to simply write them off together. Yes,
>I know this sounds like heresy from a T&Ber, but WTF?
>Have Blair divorce Todd and get sole custody of the
>kids, have Todd crack up and leave town with Tea to
>deal with his emotional problems. SECRETS LITE, if
>you will. The TnTers would have lapped that shit up.
>Allow BLAIR to move on with a new love interest like
>Walker Lawrence. Later, allude to Todd's absence by
>saying that TnT got rehitched and are starting over
>together ELSEWHERE. Make it clear that T&B reached an
>amicable visitation agreement with Starr & Jack.
>Explain Starr and Jack's absences by the fact that
>they are out of town visiting Daddy. And move the

>But NO. They had to talk Roger into coming back so
>they could troll Blair with SAM. Then they have to
>RECAST Todd so they can troll Blair with KEVIN. Now,
>it's SPENCER. AND they have troll Todd with Margaret
>and smear us ALL with this Spawn O'Rape O'Todd fiasco.
>God forbid that Blair be likeable on her OWN. She
>must be the unfaithful skank unworthy of Todd's love.

>David Fumero turned in his notice at the EXACT same
>time Erin Torpey did. They were RL BF and GF. They
>both campaigned to be paired together. TMFIIC just
>COULDN'T write a Cris and Jessica reunion and write
>them out of town TOGETHER?! Why the fuck NOT?!
>'Cause God Forbid, it would smack of PAYOFF.
>
>And DAMN, it was jarring to see Jessica transform from
>some sweet innocent INGENUE type to a pouting little
>sexpot. UGH.

>Now, don't get me WRONG. I actually LIKE Bree Cheese.
> When she's TESS and not some vacant blonde bimbo
>glued to the hip of KRAPMAR's ASSTONIO. Yes, she has
>an obvious, more kewpie doll resemblance to Erin
>Torpey, but Viki HAS a sister with a daughter CLOSE to
>Jessica's age! So why not bring Bree on as SARAH
>ROBERTS?! You have sultry cheesecake who is part of a
>core family. Moreover, you could keep the Viki-Dorian
>inter-family feud alive by having Bree's SARAH face
>off with Melissa Gallo's ADRIANNA over various young
>men.
>
>Sorry, MarcAl fans, but the BIGGEST mistake TMFIIC
>made was not writing them off TOGETHER. They were
>fine as a sweet, short-term romance. Mind you, they
>had the potential to be the Vinnie and Wanda Wolek of
>the New Millenium, but TMFIIC don't have the patience
>for that sort of shit. MarcAl was tarnished by this
>whole damned Heaven Can Wait storyline with THE SMURF
>presiding over the whole damned thing. There was such
>bad feeling over the vicious, wholesale slaughter of
>The Holdens, that once they changed Al Holden into
>Michael McBain, televisions all over the damned place
>clicked off.
>
>I DO like NM, but not THAT much. I pretty much
>resented the firing of Michael Tipps, an actor who
>LOOKED like both FH and JDP to give him the role. But
>again...TMFIIC had a chance to create a new character
>for NM by making him BEN's son by that psycho GINA.
>Yeah, it would have recycled Cordero Robert's
>storyline, but that was approximately two decades ago.
> Marc/Ben's brat would have made just as good a story
>as MarcAl or M&M, IMO.

>Am I the ONLY OLTL viewer who doesn't GAFF about Bo or
>Nora? I think BOTH these characters outlived their
>shelf life a long time ago and should have been
>written off with Sam. RSW looks older than Phil Carey
>right now and there seem to be absolutely NO hunky men
>around in the 40-50 yoa range on OLTL.

>Imagine the fireworks if TMFIIC had just given IK's
>ROXY story to Lindsey and paired her with Max Holden.
>Imagine if they had just brought back John Loprieno
>and put Gabi with Cord. The idea that Gabrielle was
>TRULY Max's King Kong Lover and that they shared a
>child together would feed Lindsey's neurotic and
>jealous insecurities perfectly. Lindsey is a great
>mom and would have made a wonderful stepmom to Frank
>and Leslie Holden. Had they not SORASED River
>Carpenter, Starr would have some kids her own age to
>interact with and have a built in rival with the sweet
>Leslie Holden.
