One Life to Live Scoops & Spoilers
Previews for the week of 19-Jul-2010
by Carol Banks Weber

• Tea and Todd sit Danielle down to explain the new, marital arrangement.
  
  
• Instead of tantrums and fits, Dani says it’s great her parents are getting hitched. And she means it.
  
  
• Todd and Tea make sweet love, then reaffirm one another.
  
  
• Dani discusses her mom’s medical case with Dr. Greg, about other medical options she’s dug up, as well as spills emotionally about the terrible what-ifs.
  
  
• Natalie and Jessica reprimand David – in between vomiting spells – for feeding them nasty muffins.
  
  
• Natalie takes it upon herself to drag her and Jessica to the hospital.
  
  
• After dealing with the ER treatment, Natalie and Jessica are told they are not food-poisoned, they are pregnant. Mama, say what?
  
  
• When doctors inform Natalie and Jessica of their pregnancies, they aren’t together. They take advantage of this, to keep quiet.
  
  
• Both Natalie and Jessica are carrying other men’s babies. Neither are sure about the dads. Or about informing the other of the booty calls.
  
  
• Natalie takes Gigi aside to use her as a safe sounding board about carrying either John or Brody’s baby.
  
  
• Gigi tries to be a good friend to Natalie, with words that help.
  
  
• Jessica goes through several what-ifs with Kelly about this unborn baby’s dad. It occurs to Jess that Ford might’ve born false witness that they never went all the way.
  
  
• Kelly gives Ford some facts of life, including Jessica’s Hep C status, which cause him much anxiety.
  
  
• Once Ford is educated on Jess/Tess’s past, he puts himself through a battery of tests for any sexually transmitted diseases.
  
  
• John and Brody, predictably, become the best of buddies in a growing bromance, when Brody uplifts John as a mentor.
  
  
• Natalie gears up to bear true witness (about Brody) to John. Before she can say anything, though, Jessica’s pregnancy with Brody comes out and hits her.
  
  
• John and Natalie wish Jessica and Brody all the best with some bubbly.
  
  
• Natalie might consider an abortion, just to be on the safe side. The only other person who knows is Gigi.
  
  
• Ford and James can’t believe their luck. An angel took care of their hospital costs.
  
  
• When Blair tries to spring a lovely special something on Eli, she is the one to be astonished.
  
  
• Charlie worries out loud with Viki that perhaps their idea (to fix Dorian with David) has gone wonky.
  
  
• Langston gets a load of Charlie lip-smacking on Dorian. She remembers not so long ago her stepping out on Markko, and shuts the hell up.
  
  
• Dorian walks in as Viki and David appear to be getting it on au naturelle.
  
  
• David hits Destiny up on some pointers to deal with the female race—in the middle of Destiny’s date with Darren.
  
  
• Charlie and Viki find they must drop the act and come clean to their pity projects.
  
  
• Charlie and Viki book a flight out of here, for a Caribbean getaway.
  
  
• David and Dorian exchange snarky one-liners on the Internet.
  
  
• David decides to have it out with Dorian once and for all, IRL.
  
  
• Layla tries to make her mom Lisa see reality. It seems a losing proposition.
  
  
• Lisa subsequently lights a fire on Vangie’s living will.
  
  
• Layla becomes incredulous that her mom has held onto Evangeline’s living will all this time and said/done nothing.
  
  
• Evangeline’s living will asks for the plug to be pulled, in direct opposition to Lisa’s will.
  
  
• Lisa makes a secret phone call to Eli of all people, requesting Bennett Thompson instead. (Did Eli pose as Bennett Thompson? Or is Eli really Bennett Thompson in hiding?)
  
  
• Lisa’s phone call rattles Eli off his game.
  
  
• Lisa does an about-face, giving Layla control of Evangeline’s destiny.
  
  
• It’s up to Layla now, what will happen with Evangeline. Both Layla and her mom arrive at the painful conclusion that the plug must be pulled as Vangie wanted.
  
  
• Rex confers with Kelly about the nuts and bolts of the Bennett Thompson case.
  
  
• Eli takes Rex and his PI work a little more seriously. He puts his ear to the ground, sussing out that Rex could be closing in on him.
  
  
• Eli shadows Rex all the way up to a hotel in Boston.
  
  
• Eli makes sure Rex eats his fill of room service dinner, which is filled with medication designed to knock out a horse.
  
  
• Rex goes down for the count.
  
  
• Starr gives a good argument to Cole about having to check in on James. She then pledges that she won’t do that anymore.
  
  
• Starr and Langston repair their friendship.
  
  
• Langston bemoans ruining everything with a departing Markko, while Starr does her best to be there and listen.
  
  
• Langston inquires of Starr as to the extent of her interest and devotion to James.
  
  
• Starr reiterates to Langston that she is all about and only about Cole, not James.
  
  
• Gigi begins to attend Llanview U for higher learning, and a real chance at a career, not just a job.
  
  
• Next week: Eli works overtime to hide his criminal past and current criminal acts… So far, Eli manages to elude detection, especially from his fiancée Blair… Blair thinks nothing of Eli’s push to the altar… Rex and Kelly go nowhere fast in their hunt for Bennett Thompson… Eli strong arms Hannah into another extreme move… John fixes on Eli as a possibility, but what’s the motive? John’s got an idea on that, too... Starr is apprised of Tea’s fatal condition… Cole makes a clean breast of it with Starr… Todd, Tea, Danielle and Nate visit New York City… Ford sees whether he’s contracted Hep C from Jessica or not… Brody asks Jessica to make an honest man out of him… Blair must wade into David and Dorian’s fray… Cristian stands by Layla’s side as she gathers the strength to say goodbye to her sister, Evangeline.
  

Thanks Chris!

What in the world does Eli/Bennett have to do with Vange's moher and how does she even know him? Why would she even call him about Vange? So confusing. Well I see this week is all about Jess/Natalie/Vicki and Charlie again.

jessica wanted chris ended up preggers by will,wanted antonio ended up preggers by nash could she go 3 for 3. no you have to strike out sometime. my prediction natalie miscarries john's baby and jess and brody have a healthy child.

Wow - they really are forcing these unnatural friendships - Gigi and Natalie? UGH!

Thanks PTP - involving Rex in this whole Eli thing has caused me to really think about wasting my time with this storyline. Rex is an idiot who couldn't find his way out of a paper bag. If he ever stops acting like a kid playing detective, it would be a miracle. I've said it before but I just cna't stake this CHILD seriously. Rex and Gigi act like they're about 14 or 15 most of the time. Dani and Nate show more maturity. They should just through Rex and gigi in with Matthew. All three have the same maturity level. Okay - I'm back to iking Eli is he's going to poison nosey Rex who should have had his cereal box PI license yanked for his crimes in forging a baby's death certificate so his friends could keep a stolen child.

There really isn't a lot that interests me. With the focus on Gex, Nyawn (John & Natalie because they make me ) or Vange/Cris/Layla.

Thanks for posting, Chris.
