    She didn't have the abortion.  Cole asked her to wait and be sure about the decision.  He said he would support whatever decision she made but wanted her to be able to look in 20-30 years and know she made the right decision.

    Greetings Llanview fans!

    We saw a screening today of Snoop Dog at Adriana's Bachelorette party at Capricorn. I didn't work that day, but I was told he was charming. He did 2 songs and had scenes with Adriana, Rex, Bo and Roxy.



    I spent 3 days in Seaside Heights NJ with Cole, Starr, Blair, Todd and John. (It's supposed to be Virginia Beach) The days were beautiful, breezy and sunny, but the nights were frigid. I spent hours just off camera, holding parkas for the actors to throw on them as soon as they stopped taping.

    We've had David Vickers and Addy doing scenes together. Tina hasn't started yet, but she's expected soon.

    I think May is gong to be fun.

    OK OLTL fans - has the show been hot lately or what?!?

    I nearly died when Gigi stood up and told the world she was in love with Rex. I think I would have decked her, too, if I was Adriana, but there's no way in hell I would have married a man who "isn't sure" if he still loves his ex. My second heart attack almost came when Brody - clean-shaven and in his military duds - walked into the church while Gigi looked like she is literally seeing a ghost. And Dorien - the true Queen of Mean - pure evil as she wrote that check out to Brody (who, by now, is a very rich man, no doubt)...

    The best, though, was when idiot doctor opened his mouth to tell Blair that Starr and the baby were doing fine! OMG! I thought Blair was going to faint dead away...

    RJ and Lindsey - I'm thinking she will finally show her psychotic colors and try to off him for threatening to tell her "secrets" to Bo...

    Jared and Natalie are too stupid for words. How they expect to keep David from telling the Buchannans about Jared is beyond me. Charlie needs to come clean to Vicki, like, yesterday...

    Heating up in time for summer!

    Felicia,  I used to watch OLTL but Addie was in the "mental" hospital. How did she end up and come out of it and return to normal civilization? 

    Blair was divorcing Todd and I thought he died?  Is he still alive?

    Roctober, you've got some catching up to do, lol...

    Well, Addie is home (I think; haven't seen her in a while). She's a bit ecentric (taking karate lessons and stuff like that), but considered "cured" (or able to play with the big kids), I guess. She seems to make sister Dorien's skin crawl...

    Todd and Blair got married in name only (they needed to convince a judge that Todd's son with Margaret Cockrin [who was later adopted by Mike and Marcie McBain] would be better off with them in a stable, loving home - baaaawhaaaa!), but ended up staying together out of love. That was until yesterday, of course, when Blair told Todd he wasn't welcome in "their" home anymore (they are actually living with Dorien) and changed the locks because he threw Starr down a flight of stairs.

    Sounds complicated, but it isn't (improbable, yes, but that's why it's a soap opera, lol). You could probably catchup in less than a week...

    So...is Tad Martin going to die???  Surely not!  Isn't the whole point of Dixie's ghost supposed to be to reunited Tad with Kate?  But I have to say today's show was really good.  Is it weird if I find 'Robert' sort of charming?

    I really really hate the direction they are taking Todd and Blair on OLTL.

    Just checking in to let you know that there will be some really wacky things happining in Llanview this summer as the show celebrates 40 years on the air!

    Some old favorite characters are coming back, there will be some deaths, surprising weddings, kidnapping to a foreign land, time travel and Blair will have a brief fling with another citizen of Llanview. How many is that now?

    It's keeping me busy.

    Oh, I'm so glad I found this thread! I've started watching the soaps again now that summer is here.

    Felicia, OMG~when Nash was dying, those were the most heart wrenching sceens between him and Jess...I was just sobbing. And now she is even more pitiful. She will definitely deserve an Emmy for this.

    I just need to catch up and figure out why she blames Natalie!?!

    Howdy, Pam...

    OK - Jared and Natalie have been secretly seeing each other/having sex everywhere for a while now (Natalie knows he is not her uncle/a Buchannan). They were figuring out a way to tell everyone when Dorian beat them to it at the stockholder's meeting. But before that, Nash was about to lose the vineyard and Jared offered to buy out the investor who was about to take over. When the news about Jared being a fraud got out, the investor ix-nayed the offer and walked away with Nash's vineyard.

    That's what Nash was upset about when he stormed into the meeting. He and Natalie got into it (he called her a slut, I think) - which ticked Jared off and they got a little physical. Jared pulled Nash and he ended up flying through the skylight and almost crash landing on Gigi and Rex. Jess blames Natalie because she knew about Jared but didn't say anything...

    Now I missed the scenes with Nash dying and Jess earning her Emmy. I was shocked as all get out when my son sent me a text telling me he was dead! So I guess that solves the mystery about at least one of the deaths Peg was talking about. Now onto the time travel Laughing!

    I am so disappointed that they killed Nash.  That was one fine looking fella.  I'm really tired of the Marcy/Michael whinefest too.  Enough already.

    I want more David Vickers and Addie!!  (and Roxy -- I just love Roxy)

    PegK, what is the Nash actor like in person??  Inquiring minds want to know.

    Hope, I'm thinking Nash will come back via this whole time travel thing...

    My son and two friends of his went to the studio two summers ago (Peg invited us Laughing - she's such a sweetie!); we didn't get to meet "Nash" but we saw him tape a few scenes. He was nice to look at, wasn't he?

    Today's show was so good!  Bye bye Adrianna, you spoiled brat...and please take Natalie with you.

    Felicia, thanks so much for filling me in. I'm still trying to unravel some things, but I'm hooked now.  Oh AlwaysHope, I'm with you, Nash is so gorgeous...those eyes!  Although Rex is a close second.

    Okay, I knew Star was pregnant but I had no idea that Todd had no idea.  After watching today, I kept thinking Star would put the baby up for adoption and somehow Marcie would end up with it. OMG, Todd's going to flip no matter what happens but can you imagine his grandchild with Marcie?

    Hi PegK, what a very cool job you have!  I was thinking the whole time travel thing could be so unbelievable and stupid, and then I remembered...they did that years ago with Bo and he ended up in the Old West. Anyone else remember?

    Whatever they do I'm sure it will be fine, some of my favorite epi's were when Vickie was in Heaven! Smile

    Does no one talk about soaps when my house burns down???? LOL.

    I am in awe of Bree Williamson's (Jessica) performance over the last few weeks.

    When Todd found Marty it was the perfect opportunity for TPTB (the powers that be) to redeem his character but noooooooooooooo. Even though he's not physically hurting Marty, jeez, he could be doing so much more.

    I've read some stuff about the time travel and it looks interesting. Viki goes to heaven again and encounters lots of people. Originally they were going to have Megan as one of those people, but Jessica Tuck is doing a movie so they're getting the original Jess, Erin Torpey (sp?) and she will play Jess's daughter Megan in the heaven sequence. Asa is supposed to be in the heaven too-- which might surprise Bo LOL.

    Apparently Bo and Rex will be blown into the past, with Bo being Asa abnd Rex being Bo,. Bob Woods, who plays bo, has a 17 yo son tanner who will be on the show as a young Bo-- not sure how that's going to work with Rex.

    How funny is Tina naming her dog "David Vickers"-- I laugh so hard every time she says his name?

    I'm really enjoying the Starr/Cole/Pregnancy thing-- Star really needs to start using her head where Marcy is concerned though. Her heart is in the right place but she doesn't know how fragile Marcy still is,. Starr and Cole break up next week and Cole decides to sue for custody. Are you guys sitting down........................... Cole makes a desperate move and he goes to TODD for support (according to soap opera digest). OMG--- the fur is going to fly...

    I hope someone can take notes for me Monday the 30th,. I'm having a tooth pulled at 1:50 and the show starts at 2. I'm bringing my radio that has a tv band so I hope I can listen while at the dentist. If I wasn't in pain i would have waited for a better appointment but the tooth is infected and needs to go.

    I feel so bad for Lindsey,  So close to getting everything she's ever wanted.  Let's hope she can get that letter from Nora before she reads it.

    You feel bad for lindsay>???? I'm totally on Nora's side. I've been hoping for a Nora/Bo reunion since Matthew was born! I got this about next week.

    WILL TODD FIND OUT ABOUT STARR'S PREGNANCY?
    Cole lost both his parents and now has a chance to have a family again with his girlfriend Starr and their unborn baby. Except Starr's already made up her mind and wants to give the baby up for adoption to Michael and Marcie. When he hears, Cole freaks out and goes to Todd, Starr's father. Will the pain of losing his child lead Cole to do the unthinkable and tell Todd about the baby? Meanwhile, Natalie and Jared get an unexpected apology from "Jessica." But it's really Tess setting a trap. Will they fall into it?

    Yeah, I know Lindsey has done alot of bad things.  But Nora is just so judgmental and self righteous.  That really bugs me.  I think Lindsey has been trying to be a better person since Jen died but she just can't help herself sometimes.  I really want Lindsey with RJ.  They are really the better match but its Bo that she seems to want.

    I'm loving the David/Addie scenes and the scene where the psychiatrist told Dorian that Addie was perfectly sane and that maybe Dorian needed some time at St. Annes was priceless.  I laughed so hard over that one.  Just the look on her face.

    I love the David/Addie scenes too and the psychiatrist part was hysterical.

    I've never been a Lindsay fan, except for her relationship with Marcy (not counting Spencer's murder). Like you, I like Lindsay with RJ. I really like RJ. I've always loved Nora, especially with Bo. I could have never seen Nora with the old Clint, but this clint is so personable I can see them together in the very short term. Long term I think the DA and Police chief are a better match. I wonder how long it will be until Bo gets his job back.

    I wonder what the diplomat guy has on Talia. My bet is that he's threatening Jamie and talia is trying to protect her.

    Well, do you think the Buchanans will get BE back?  Surely they will.  Natalie and Jared had alot of nerve even just listening at the door of Nash's funeral after the way he conned the family and then she blackmailed her own father.

    I hear that Carlo Hesser is coming back.

    Wow, you and I are on the opposite side of this one too, LOL. I feel so bad for Natalie and Jared.I do agree that going to the funeral was a bit selfish, considering how upset Jess/Tess was. I don't see Natalie as blackmailing her father, just communicating with him the seriousness of the situation of David Vickers being the real Buchanan son. Clint was irrational and wouldn't listen to anything but his anger. While Natalie and Jared should have gone to Clint and Bo with the whole truth, their hearts were in the right place.

    Natalie has always felt like an outsider and the way Jess and Clint railed against her just confirmed her deepest seeded fears. I think she was at the funeral, hiding so that she could feel close to her family and to honor Nash's life. Jared is so torn up about Nash's death, it's bringing up all the old feelings he had when his brother died and he thought he was responsible for not saving him.

    Nash has some responsibility in his own death. Rather than taking money from his family, he used a shady lender. The Buchanan money wouldn't be a payout, rather a loan and Nash would have made good on it. His pride got in the way. Nash projected his anger at the loan guy onto Jared and started the fight and Jared was just protecting himself.

    Everyone lost, even Dorian, who seemed to realize that the takeover was anticlimactic and didn't fill the emptiness in her heart or make her feel better for breaking up with Clint. Heck, even David married her sister.

    That's my opinion about the whole thing.

    OMG--- VERY BIG SCOOP!!!!

    Carlo Hesser is.................... Talia's father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was so excited I called Felicia--- only to have her say "who's carlo hesser". Needless to say her response was anticlimactic Tongue out, I didn't realize she'd only been watching for 2 years.

    The fur is going to fly when Todd confronts Starr, not just about her pregnancy, but about her plans to give her child to Marcy and Michael... let's just say from what SOD says, it'll be hard to remember when Starr was daddy's little girl after the way he treats her. Of course, Starr will be furious with Cole for telling Todd. I wonder how all this will play into the Marty storyline. My guess based on nothing I've read is that Todd will bring Cole into the picture and convince Marty that she, Todd, Cole and the baby will be one big happy family.....

    From what you sent me, Carlo seems like a very bad person, Amy.

    These story lines are getting goofy! But then again, it is a soap opera, lol...

    Anyone watch yesterday? Lindsay and Bo getting married on the day his niece buries her husband. Oh, there's a date she'll want to remember. Nice of them to be so thoughtful...

    The psychic was hysterical as was little bladder-control challenged David Vickers (the furry one, lol). But the best was when Nora told Clint she had everything in the pile copied, which means she's still got the letter from RJ and Lindsay's still not in the clear. The idiot should have told Bo a long time ago - but now would be better than later as he keeps saying there are "no more secrets" between them. Ha...

    I was only able to listen to the show because I was having my tooth pulled at the time. I didn't realize it was a psychic but it was sooooo funny. I agree with you about Lindsay fessing up. I will be sooo pissed if she makes doe eyes, when Bo finally finds out and he forgives her yet again for being a lying criminal LOL--- sorry always hope-- I don't like her.

    I just did 2 location shoots for "One Life". One was at a horse farm near Rhinebeck. Unfortunately it was a night shoot so you won't get to see the beautiful scenery that I saw.

    The other was at Letchworth State Park near Rochester NY. Luckily it was a day shoot because the scenery was spectacular! Two actors went over the falls in a red rubber raft. Luckily they were played by dummies (which I dressed) so they lived to act another day.

    These scenes will air from the end of July to the middle of August.

    Nash was played by Forbes March. He was very funny, but a bit of a wild card. He didn't like to fussed over on the set and often when we would fix his collar or something before taping he would mess it up again right before the cameras started to roll.

    He wasn't happy about leaving the show, but unfortunately "soap couples" can't be happy for too long because there's no story in that. If there's enough of an outcry, who knows, he may be back as a ghost or a twin or something. It's happened before. (or he could end up back on "All My Children".)

    Here is a picture I took of him at our Christmas Party with his wife Vanessa.
