For the Week of February 5th One Life to Live Dorian blackmails Jared into giving Charlie a second chance. K: Aah, it’s nice to see Dorian doing what she does so well – lying to Charlie while blackmailing Jared. C: When I read what Kathy wrote, I misread it as “Lying on Charlie” and I thought “Go Dorian!” Ramsey hides while John delivers his ultimatum to Todd K: Ramsey is a unique bad guy. He’s really bad but he has no life, no back story other than questionable doings while working with John and no connections to anyone else on the canvas. He shows up in scenes, does his bad thing and then disappears again with no additional details like job, car or living quarters. C: Ramsey bugs me. It’s something about his face. He sort of reminds me of that bad kid in Karate kid, but less attractive. Rex asks Bo to be his best man at his wedding. K: That seems appropriate. C: I love that! Charlie’s web of lies continues. K: I have a feeling that Charlie, if he’s a keeper, will be one of those characters with secrets that take years to roll out. C: Charlie shouldn’t be a liar. Viki doesn’t like liars. Jessica tells Natalie that she is breaking out of St Anne’s and taking Allison Perkins with her. K: Run while you can, Jessica! Addie’s doctor creeps me out. He makes me think that while he’s smiling kindly at his patients, he’s injecting them with experimental drugs. C: And that’s really going to show them that you’re emotionally stable and not Tess. Smart. Rex and Charlie attempt to get the truth about Rex’s parentage out of Roxy. K: Could Rex be a stolen baby? Roxy becomes frantic and scared every time Rex pushes her for the truth. C: I don’t care who his father is. I’m just happy to see more of Rex. He’s a cutie. So young…too bad. Bo and Lindsey grow closer. K: Good for them. I hope they don’t tell Nora who seems to think that everything Bo does is caused by his denial of his love for her. C: My husband and I are growing closer too…because our tummies are getting so big. Todd tells Ramsey he can’t allow him to murder Gigi. K: How unusually, magnanimous of Todd. C: How nice of Todd. He’s human. I’m shocked. Jessica and Natalie put their plan into action. K: Why is it that soap writers find nuns, imitating nuns, monks and imitating monks so darn funny? C: Hey, it’s better than watching Natalie pine away for her ‘uncle’ so it works for me.
Everyone wants to wear the wimple. Rex confronts Gigi. K: These scenes could be really good. I like that Rex gets to claim more connections on the show but I am having a hard time picturing Adrianna as anyone’s stepmomma. C: Me, too. Todd grows violent when Ramsey threatens to go after Blair, Starr and Jack. K: Yep, now that sounds like Todd. What I want to know is when Todd finds the time to write those awful headlines for his paper when he’s so busy with his pal the shady former FBI guy. C: Todd can multi-task Kathy. He’s super-villain, daddy, brother, uncle, husband and newspaper editor.
John hurries to save Shane and Gigi. K: John, wearing his trusty superhero leather jacket, flings the hair out of his eyes and rushes to the rescue! If he can’t have a love interest, he might as well fill time as a superhero. C: He’s got the time since he doesn’t have to save Marty much these days. Ouch. That was cold. Sorry.
Guess John made it in time. Todd realizes that Jack knows the full story behind his birth. K: Kathy realizes that even though she was watching back then, she can’t remember much about Jack’s birth. Something about Todd giving Jack away and lying to Blair? I need a history lesson. C: I was watching too and have no clue what the circumstances were either so obviously they weren’t that entertaining. Allison makes Jessica and Natalie take her to the Lord Mausoleum. K: Oh goody, fake nuns digging around in a mausoleum. I am waiting with bated breath. (Not really, but I am trying to think positive here.) C: I hate that place. It creeps me out.
If I’m ever resting in a mausoleum, I want it decorated like this one. General Hospital Sam darts into the road to flee her attacker. K: For the first time in a loooong time, on Friday, I cheered for Sam. She didn’t just get attacked, she fought back. Too bad about the car mowing her over after her valiant defense. C: That had to hurt. Claudia is reunited with her father. K: From previews I don’t think we can expect touching moments and happy music. C: You mean Carly with dark hair? I don’t see much of a difference just yet. Carol from www.soapzone.com wrote an interesting blog about this at http://community.tvguide.com/blog/Deep-Dish-Pieces/700001479. I think she nailed it. Sonny does not make nice with Johnny. K: Sonny needs to pick on someone his own size, like Trevor, instead of bullying Johnny. C: Doesn’t he know you should be nice to children? Friends shouldn’t let Nikolas drive while he’s having a blackout. K: What good is his own personal ghost if she can’t stop him from raging and driving? C: From what I gather, Nik doesn’t really care much about his friends these days. Sam is left lifeless on the roadside. K: She’s going to mess up that pretty jacket she was wearing if she stays on the ground. C: I wonder if she split her pants? I noticed they were pretty tight. Jerry to the rescue? K: No matter what Jerry does, he is still the guy who carelessly shot Robin in the MetroCourt and pumped drugs into Nikolas. Even if Dr. Devlin turns out to be the mastermind behind the bad guy, Jerry still did what he did so rescuing Sam does not a hero make. C: I think the actor is great but personally, I think
the character isn’t salvageable and I think he should remain Mr. Craig and
“Jerry” should come back. I miss the real Jerry. Julian Stone is
amazingly hot. Jax is thrilled when Carly announces she is pregnant. K: Which means she would be due during November sweeps. Let’s hope Jax doesn’t shoot her in her sex brain and send her fantasizing back to Sonny. C: And Laura Wright’s pregnant too. Okay, I don’t know that for sure but she’s been doing an awful lot of hiding her tummy under blankets lately…my detective skills are pretty solid so I think I’m right! Lulu believes Logan is sincere in his feelings for her. K: But it sure doesn’t stop her from mackin’ on Johnny. C: Mackin’? Now that sounds gross. Claudia reaches out to Johnny. K: I want them to be a team. They can be on the good side or the dark side but working together, instead of the usual antagonistic familial relationship. One Ric and Sonny is plenty for one show. C: Does she get him? Are her arms long enough or is he standing too far away?
“Do you hate Trevor?” “Yeah, I hate Trevor.” “Good, we’re a team.” Ric and Marianna become friends of the intimate, skin to skin kind. K: Introspective Ric works for me. He’s not a good guy, not psycho guy, but real with layers. (And now he sounds like a seven layer dip or maybe I’m hungry.) C: And then she’s dead. Or, as my daughter used to say, “Dead like a skeleton.” I think that means really, really dead. Poor Ric. He can’t catch a break in the love department.
Now you see her….and now you don’t. It’s magic in soapland. Alexis waits patiently by Sam’s side. K: If they are together in the hospital the TMK won’t have a shot at them. He can busy himself elsewhere. C: These two are two peas in a pod. And I’m not sure that’s a good thing.
Elizabeth is saddened by her meeting with Sam. K: Surely, she didn’t expect olive branches and friendship?! C: If she did, they gave her some really strange meds for her leg injury because that’s just messed up.
Doesn’t Liz look like she’s going to do that thing where she pokes Sam until she starts to wake up and then says, “Sam, are you awake?” My kids and my dog do that. Sonny remembers he has kids and talks to Michael about his choices. K: And they both go to therapy. Sonny in therapy showed parts of his personality that we normally wouldn’t see. Father and son therapy could work well and introduce any story the writers want to create. C: This is one of those “do as I say, not as I do” conversations, I’m sure. Logan accuses Lulu of sending him mixed signals. K: I agree with Logan. Lulu is sending mixed signals. However, Lulu has consistently told him that she’s not sure of her feelings about Logan so it’s hard to blame her.
Elizabeth admits to Jason that she might be the one who ran Sam down. K: Liz sometimes drives me crazy because she tells everything she knows, but at least she’s honest about the bad parts of herself when necessary. C: Which means she didn’t. But she’ll get blamed for it initially and still end up the ‘saint’ of town, like Sam says. I think that’s great!
Umm, I might have left a body on the side of the road. Logan angrily watches Johnny and Lulu kiss. K: No matter how this plays out, it’s hard to have your heart stomped on. C: Sorry but if it’s a question of which bad boy to choose, the woman will always go for the worse of the two. Trevor threatens Marianna. K: What took him so long? I expected him to have cornered Marianna 5 minutes after spotting Ric and Marianna laughing in the café. C: Probably he threatens her before she dies. Right?
