Keliah's Commentary, 9/30 - A Day Late, and a Dollar Shot…

Hey ya’ll. This discussion will cover the Sept 30th episode of OLTL … A lot happened in one episode and I talk about 98% of it. Proceed with Caution…

First up, what in the hell is up with Jessica only having a black eye as a result of that fight??? If I recall, Natalie was on top of Jessica, either smacking or slamming her head into the ground, and when Brody showed up, he had to pull his current Lady Love off of his former fiancée/wannabe baby mama who goes from Cuckoo to Cocoa Cocoa Puffs in the blink of an eye whenever times get ROUGH!

And Natalie was the one in the neck brace??? What.Ever. Natalie is from the streets. Girlfriend is totally gangsta, we all know this from her growing up with Roxy Balsom. She would’ve totally had all that pretty blond hair of Jess’s wrapped around her fist in a hot second with Jessica’s body swinging around her head like a jump rope… what a coincidence that Jess was double dutching just the other day, yo!

But more than all of that, how in the HELL did they keep those shoes on during all of that tussling??? Nobody broke a heel or a strap or twisted an ankle!

Cord: Some people you can never get over.

Enter… TINA!!!! The look on their faces as they saw each other was a thing of beauty. Still so much love there. Just like any SUPERcouple, they fight just as hard as they love. When Cord thought that Tina was talking about David Vickers the person and not the dog, he got pissed. LOVED IT! Dude knows he still deeply in LURVE! And when Tina hugged him after he tried looking for her dog, ahhhhh, the look on their faces said it all. She was home and so was he. I want to be flower girl at their next wedding!

Though, yesterday on twitter, I was discussing the interesting relations between everyone who was there during Cord and Tina’s first of few verbal showdowns. Viki and Tina are sisters. Cord is Clint’s son. Cord was married to Tina. So… Cord basically married his step-aunt. AMIRIGHT??? I think so. Then again, I guess it was par for the course for Tina, who thought she was making it with a man claiming to be her brother… David Vickers, who turned out to be Cord’s cousin. So COMPLICATED, YO! But eh, who cares, I love it all the same!

I was going to Sa-NAUPPPPPPPPPP on someone if they didn’t let that baby dog in the house! I would’ve never, ever, ever, EVER forgiven RC if one little HAIR had been singed on that dog’s body! She was barking her head off and NO ONE HEARD ANYTHING! I was reminded by a friend on twitter yesterday that the same thing happened when Todd and Vic and Agent Baker were outside the house and Todd was shouting with that booming voice of his, and yet NO ONE HEARD A THING! I’m guessing the house is just sound proof. That can’t be safe. Anyway, I love me some pooch David Vickers! She is too precious, I want to bring her home and dazzle her in doggie jewels, feed her from a pink bowl and carry her around wherever I go as if my shit don’t stink and I have money to blow on things like cars and clothes and cigarettes and boos! Though, I don’t think my current pup would like that too much, he’d just have to deal with it anyway! David Vickers is a total bomb sniffer! I’d say she just gave Lassie a run for her money warning them about the danger, danger, DANGER that lurked outside the house!!!! Loved when Bo showed up to the house, looking just as pissed as ever having to arrest Todd again, like old times… yet, he never saw the dog.

Everyone was trying to cover for Todd, except Jack of course, who was ready to sell his sister down the river too. I get headaches when I talk about how much Jack pisses me off, even if I know why he’s such a jackass, so I think I’ll skip it, for now. But ZOMG! Am I the only one who notices that when Blair is lying for Todd, she always touches her face??? She did it when talking to Bo and I wondered if anyone was going to pick up on it. Such a smart acting choice by KDP, I notice it more often than not.

BTW, what kind of car does Starr have??? The one that Jack was all ready to give the license plate… will not discuss!!! Anyway, she looks like she’d have a Beemer or something. Some sort of red sports car. Or maybe pink, as that was her favorite color as a child.

Ya’ll, rewinding a bit, has anyone told Natalie and Brody that they’re staying at Rex’s old loft??? Whatevs. Did you peep Natalie drinking from Liam’s sippy cup??? Hi-LARIOUS! That said, I hope that Viki can get through to her daughters. Granted, the fights are funny as hell, but eventually, enough is enough! They’re mothers. Act like it.

Just me or does Cord’s southern accent come out more and more when he’s arguing with Tina??? I felt like I was watching a clip from Gone With the Wind as Rhett was going off on Scarlett… Loved it! He’s still so handsome.

Now, onto more important matters:

IRENE KILLED LOUIE, YA’LL!!!! What a bitch to the extreme! Here’s hoping that it’s not true, because I am bound to cut a trick if I learn that she’s really got Louie sleeping with the LV fishes. Todd was so heartbroken that his new BFF was quite possibly killed by his own mother. A man that showed him kindness, saved his life by pulling him out of the water, while his own mother tortured him and tried frying his brain for 8 years… it broke my heart.

Speaking of Todd, he has some big hands, yo. That ring couldn’t even fit on his finger. Notice which finger he put that ring on too??? Clever, clever, you naughty, naughty boy. (FYI: I’m only excusing him not wearing a bullet proof vest or having any protection while going to see her because, A) he is clearly willing to sacrifice himself for his family and B) there is a chance he could be without clothes for a few days next week. Any opportunity to get Todd without a stitch of clothing, I will find excuses for. DEAL, yo. Just DEAL!)

He had some really good zingers as he went back and forth with Mommie Dearest too. Like this little gem:

“You son of a bitch,” she said.

“Well said,” he retorted.

And did you see how batshit crazy she went when she thought he tossed that microchip into the water??? Swinging her hair back and forth like she was a reject in a Willow Smith video!

AND THEN, AND.THEN! the bitch did the unthinkable and SHOT MY TODD!!!! I screamed like a banshee in heat, YO! And I didn’t stop screaming until the commercials were over. My dog barked at me, thought I had lost what little mind I have left! I knew it was coming, KNEW it was coming, but when it happened, I just couldn’t contain myself. Right then and there, I wanted to go all gangsta like Natalie and beat her to a pulp until she couldn’t remember her own name!!! Luckily, he survived, of course, he’s like a phoenix after all. Or as some have called him on the message boards, a Water God… love it. But then the bitch had to tell him that she blew up his family.

So raise your glass if you’re hoping that come this time next week, piranha are feasting on her face.

Hope ya’ll enjoyed my recap!!! If I missed anything… it probably wasn’t meant to be!

Clip of the Day, July 5, 2011 (246)

Yes, after a month's hiatus, we're back with the daily clips of Roger Howarth's Todd Manning Story. Thanks to juju for the clips, hope that she reigns victorious over recent computer issues.

Today's clip:



Oh my, I missed these two little beauties.

"YES WE DO!" Sarah yells at Powell. GO GIRL GO. Imagine if they could have found this original little actress to come back to be Sarah. But, we are fortunate to get Erin Torpey back before the end of OLTL.

It's so hard to write about these clips right now, knowing full well that soon, they will be literally ALL WE HAVE of this show. One Life will be missed so much.

The thing about these vids is that it's awesome. It's not altogether dated, and Roger is just amazing; we are watching him blossom and grow. Rebecca is torn, as we were. We wanted to love him and also knew we should find him revolting...but couldn't. We can identify with Rebecca so much because he made us love him, and we didn't want to do it!!!

The kids are so adorable. So unassuming and so innocent in their love for him. They cannot see his past, they can only see his present, and that he was a hero to them. You HAVE to love this clip because it has so many old faces in it. Sheila, Hank, Marty, Jessica (original), etc. Just a nice blast from the past. There is no Todd in this one, but it's a great place to start back up - with so many of the old beloved characters right there for the viewing. Next clip: Ray (yes) and Todd in prison therapy.

See you tomorrow I am hoping! PLEASE COMMENT. GIVE YOUR TWO CENTS, your interpretation, your commentary - that is what we are here for!

Something appropriate . . . so . . . holidayish!



OMG, I LOVED the Christmas shows. IT made me feel like they were all doing the same things we were in celebrating, like they were real families! They definitely used to show us OLTL until CHRISTMAS EVE....and it seemed so festive and realistic.

Love how Andrew and Cassie are decorating the church....just love this ep. I know it's out of order, and bit JUJU...(sorry) but I just wanted to show it.

Happy Holidays

Clip of the Day, Oct. 3, 2010

Another clip for you.....hope you're enjoying them, thanks to juju!!! Of course, my commentary is just for starters. Chime in.



Poor Marty and Rich Susan. Marty is a shell of a person during this, she's brittle, like bones....and Susan is flourishing underneath, propelling Marty to stardom in front of our eyes. Marty. She started out to be a pretty hateful character and ends up being a major player in so many stories for years after (just like Todd). The two of them, Roger and Susan, really are superlative actors at very young ages. The two of them, Todd and Marty, are definitely fated through OLTL history to constantly be in each other's lives. At one point, they almost shared a stepchild....but I should stay focused on the current videos, I digress.

Strong suit - Marty is breaking down, Kevin is too - you HAVE to love this part of the story. And if you are not feeling sympathy for her already, Marty really pulls on the heartstrings when she exonerates Kevin and he cries. Kevin is cleared, and everyone starts to see the case differently, almost immediately. By taking Kevin out of the mix, the citizens of Llanview start thinking, yeah, why not? Why couldn't these guys have done this? Kevin is SO CUTE when he accepts the judge's ruling. I miss that Kevin....why can't they find him and bring him back? "Oh you're breaking my ribs grandpa!" Todd is SMILING in the background.

The LOOK that HANK gives to Marty after court is adjourned....chilly in here! Wow. See, this is what is missing also. LOOKS can convey so much if an actor has talent. However, when they DON'T, words are constantly needed or plot devices. Half these actors (or more) could just convey a story with very few words at all. Suede tells her he's proud, she again responds with a LOOK.

Afterwards, Peter heads up a lively discussion against Marty. Todd's right into it, "who's going to buy the rest of her story?" Peter keeps showing himself, and at the same time, showing Todd. Again, one or two LOOKS between characters can say so much. He's a pure misogynist. Yikes. Marty's apology to Hank is really awesome too....ah the good old days.

FAIL: I never liked how they had the three defendants (not Kevin) lined up against the wall....seemed awkward.

No QOTD today! If you think of one, just let me know and I will post it for sure!

Sound off!
