OLTL Episode Discussion Thread (For the week of November 29, 2010)

I LOVE Nora getting a taste of her own medicine! With the number of affairs she's had, it's nice to see her worrying about someone cheating on HER for a change. Interesting to see her go after Clint for using his position, given that Nora has written the book on abusing HER position and office for her own personal gain.

Not sure how I feel about NuJoey - too soon to tell, I think. I like that he's pointing out how many free loaders Viki has, though.

I liked the interactions with the teens - it's been awhile since I've been able to enjoy all of them together but getting rid of Cole has really helped.

Why in the world would a prison call Starr up to tell her that Cole was in a fight??? Didn't they call Marty last week for that? How many fights was Cole in? That whole scene with Starr and James yesterday and her running out because Cole was in a fight was just plain ridiculous.

Do you think Inez is as innocent as she comes off? Yesterday, Bo and Norah had a serious argument about Inez with Norah pushing her theory that Inez plays the professional victim thus playing on Bo's sympathy and the need to be a saviour all the time. Bo disagreed completely. What do you think?

It really was lame and pathetic and what was even dumber was Starr acting surprised that her violent thug of a "boyfriend" is in a fight. Cole's history of violence should leave NO ONE surprised as to any fights he might get into while in prison. Either Cole's been in another fight or it took them a week to finally call Starr. Either way, it' was a lame and stupid plot point.

I think if it had been someone other than Nora, I'd have given her arguments a lot more credence but given that Nora has cheated on every single one of her husbands, she needs to just shut her mouth. Nora is nothing but a huge hypocrite.

That said, Nora is nothing but a tramp so she should recognize the signs of one. I don't know if I'd classify Inez as a tramp, but I don't think she's totally innocent either. If Inez manages to woo Bo away from Nora, I'll love it not because I like Ienz so much as someone finally giving Nora a taste of her own medicine. Nora is one of the characters I hate most on the show right now. She's far too hypocritical and until that changes, I'll cheer on anyone who's giving her what she deserves and doing to her what she's done to so many.

There was indeed a sexually predatory nuance to the Eddie/Dani scene, highlighted by his whistling at her when he walked into the apartment, sinisterly grinning, while she stood alone. I doubt that he will rape her though. He is too new a character for them to throw that kind of thing out there now.

Does Aubrey have a hidden agenda? Who did she call yesterday after Joey left her in the hotel room, it sure was not Joey.

Aubrey reminds me of Babe from All My Children, she came on the show the same way. I don't know who she was talking to, but I think she's a golddigger and Viki won't like her.

The set up to Eddie's murder begins!

Todd threatens to kill him. Nate threatens to kill him. Robert and Ford talk about killing him. Inez agrees to seduce Bo for Clint, under the condition that Clint makes Eddie disappear.

I predict Eddie is a corpse by Feb. sweeps!

LOL - I was just thinking that about Eddie - once everyone starts threatening to kill you on a soap, you know your timing it running out. We'll get a "who dunnit" storyline, with John and Nora arresting Todd and doing all they can to charge him and keep him in prison while letting the real killer go free. I wonder if they'll work just as hard to keep the latest murderer out of prison as they worked to keep Cole out. Interesting that Eddie gets thrown in jail for hitting James, but Nora would have let Cole walk for his murder attempt on Todd.

ITA JB - I think Feb sweeps will be the "who dunnit" storyline with Eddie meeting the Grim Reaper.

I'm thinking that there's far more to Aubrey than we're seeing. I wonder if she's working for someone who's trying to get their hands on the Buch/Lord fortune.

Absolutely. There was way too much deliberately placed homicidal innuendo surrounding Eddie being knocked off. He's definitely toast!

I also think Aubrey is a schemer, looking for a payday and found a potential sucker in Nu–but still impetuously naive–Joey. Still, I prefer her to Kelly. While they do this Joey/Aubrey/Kelly dance, with Rex on the sidelines playing Kelly's BFF (or is she his faghag? :biggrin:), I'm betting that he (Rex) will become involved with Aubrey in some way. Kelly will most likely sic Rex on her to investigate her background and intentions; he'll try to distract her with a seduction attempt, and from there it will be the setup to Aubrex. She's the type of character who would mix it up with Rex.

I thought that might be it but you never know it could be worse!

I thought of that yesterday after Nate slugged him and Todd threatened him. Now all we have to figure out is which one can be dispensed without stirring up too much of the pot, my vote would go to Inez, if she left the show no one would miss her and Nate could go live with his brothers.

I still say they should hook Rex up with Christian.

Maybe she is Carlo Hesser's Grandaughter???

First she blames Natalie and now she blames Starr for Cole's actions. Cole did what she did because Starr fell in love with James. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. When is she going to realize her precious son has problems and need therapy. And judging by her actions as of late so does she. I guess it is Starr's fault that he is starting fights in jail too.

Yeah - lol - I can see Kelly sending Rex after Aubrey and Rex getting mixed up in it all in his bumbling, idiotic way. I don't know how they expect us to take Rex seriously when he acts as immature as the younger teens. He and Matthew should be best buddies!

LOL - now that would be interesting - Cex? Sounds like some horrible disease.

Typical Marty - blame everyone but herself. I'm surprised she's not blaming Todd for this. Cole is a sociopath and it was only a matter of time before he killed someone. 2 murder attempts behind him, violent crimes, drug charges, and all before he's 20 and then finally he succeeds in murder. Way to go, Marty! LOVE what Todd said to her, though, and I hope her licence is revoked. She shouldn't be practising, given that she refused to see how violent and out of control her son was and that she took a violent psychopath into her home, with no regard for whom she might put in danger. Than again, Cole did the same thing when he was so eager to keep out of prison for violating his parole that he risked Starr and Hope.

The joke is that they have made Rex a father. That's comedy and a half.
