I'm surprised (albeit pleasantly) that you listed OLTL in the top 3 shows to watch. :) |

I like the Nicole pregnant storyline. Sami needs her tubes tied pronto. Nick and Katie make me want to spork out my eyes. |

Good stuff, Nelson. Couldn't agree more on the OLTL stuff. I'm very much down on the show so I can't agree on you putting them in your top 3 to watch but things are moving on the show so I can understand it. Night Shift is amazing right now and so is Y&R. I'm even starting to like GH SOMEWHAT again, which is a miracle in and of itself LOL. |

Thank you for bringing up how wrong it is to pair a rapist with their rape victim. I don't understand why some soaps insist on doing this especially considering that the majority of their audience is women. P.S. I'm a huge Shonda Rhimes fan too! :) |

Now, Tim, I'll have to disagree with you AND Nelson on the Todd/Marty stuff. It's icky, but I really think it needs to play out. (Come ON, Tim. You gotta let this play out like you do Days. :D )IF they do the horizontal mambo, then I'll jump on this bandwagon, but right now, I think it's a weird study in psychology, and like a car wreck, I'm morbidly curious to see how this pans out. My biggest problem with it? It was getting damn boring. Now, I like a good piano lesson as much as anyone (uh, it helps me put my kid through college!), but the nightgown and banter and sugarcoated Marty didn't do much for me. I think slowly, now that she's getting a little snark and rebelliousness to her, it's getting better. This is nothing like the Sami/EJ situation. Whether you consider Sami's first, er, "encounter" with EJ rape or blackmail...Sami hitched up with him later knowing FULL well what had happened. Plus, EJ's face is the same. Todd's face is NOT the same. If this was RH and this was happening, that would add another dynamic, because I'd think in the deep recesses of her mind, this face would spring into recognition because of the sheer terror of the act. I will agree, though, that I'm sick of Tessica. I'm very intrigued with the whole Gigi/Rex/Brody storyline and would like to see if they do Brody justice on this and how this will pan out. So, yes, Nelson, I will have to agree with you that OLTL is slowly turning around again. It hit a bump on the road. That happens with a lot of soaps. I like it when soaps dig into the psyche a little and make you think, just like the Brody thing and the whole "how would Marty react if she had her memory" thing. I will gladly complain, though, if the RESULTS piss me off! ;) Edited by ladyofthelake, Sep 30 2008, 06:02 AM.

Nelson, just wondering, have YOU heard anything about Martha Madison being spotted on the Days set. Please let us know. P.S. Great column as usual. I always enjoy reading them. Thanks :) |

I HOPE it's true. I liked that little cutie as Belle. And I agree that it was a great column. Entertaining and funny as usual. The section on Marty/Todd and the ramifications was interesting and thought provoking. I'm REALLY looking forward to the Michael Malone interview. |

I'll have more on Martha Madison hopefully Friday. But don't quote me. And I think I figured out who the vet is leaving on Days. Some will be happy, others will NOT! |

Well, I guess that eliminates Josh Taylor, since surely the celebration would be universal. Just kidding, JT fans! |

Nelson could you at least give us some hints by sending some of the cast back to safety? |

I swear I'm losing my mind...I have been going on and on about how I think it's BD and then my mind wandered off to thinking it's someone else all of a sudden. Yes Rakey, I agree with you. :wink: |

I'm certain that it's either Datillo or Koslow - in which case, I especially hope it's Datillo. Meanwhile, PLEASE Nelson do not tease me about a possible Martha return! LoL! |
