OLTL: Wed show

forewarned
I broke my boycott and taped today's show because I read that Will was
going to visit and I totally used to have the hots for him back when
he was a regular character (he's still adorable).
Observations:
1. What in the holy hell was going on with Dorian's hair? It looked
like a big red cat died on on the side of her head? Was she going to
a costume ball or was this the result of Roxy? Why would Dorian (who
always looks so put together) go out in public with her hair so
ridiculous?
2. Why is CH (Lindsay) not on contract? Her tearful speech to will
was heartbreaking. She really is a good actress. She looked so
shattered.
I hope she didn't kill Truman.
3. RJ!!!! YEAH! Another character that was unjustly dumped by
TPTB. Put him back on contract and give him a storyline STAT!
4. Why is Nora being allowed to prosecute this case given the YEARS
of acrimony between her and Lindsay?

hair was a result of Roxy! She had a cut she didn't like and then went
to Roxy to touch it up and Roxy helped her with a "makeover" - which
caused much amusement when soon after Rex and Adrianna came in to see
Roxy. More gentle ribbing from all when they later went to Roxy about
Dorian not only looking like she did but also drinking a (gasp) beer.
Like i say i haven't seen today's episode yet so don't know if it looked
just like it did yesterday but it's possible that what was presented
today was even wilder the day before!
Agreed about CH needing to be back on contract ... there's been a lot of
Emmy buzz about her lately - the only question is (which i've asked
around about on other forums) is would she actually be eligible given
her recurring status? From what i've been able to gather if she was in
at least 19% of episodes for the eligibility period, she would be.
RJ hasn't been on in awhile so i'm looking forward to seeing him! Never
really cared for the actor playing Will but still excited about seeing
him simply because it's always good when a character not on canvas who
really should be on the show for a story purpose does indeed come on
instead of having lame excuses written in...and Will definately needs to
be on the show right now with all that's going on.
Nora's impartiality is the Million Dollar question. This has been
brought up by several characters to which Nora insists she's fully
capable of being impartial and professional. Have a feeling that this
will come up more later...while people have mentioned this either with
Nora or with other people on the show, it's not been mentioned in the
courtroom and may be a trump card that Team Lindsay is saving if they're
not bringing it up now - if Lindsay is found guilty they could appeal
based on the fact that even if Nora could be impartial, the appearance
of impartiality would still be compromised based on their publicly
well-known history.

boycotting OLTL - Dena Higley's name finally disappeared from the
credits last week so this may be a good time to check back in! Yes,
even though now Ron Carlivati is fully in the driver's seat, he still
has a lot of mess to clean up but i am feeling quite optimistic about
his ability!

There's a little story on this. Last week she asked someone (Blair?)
how her hair looked, and then complained that the stylist took too
much off and she was so mad, etc. Then the other day, she was at
Roxy's, getting extensions, complaining about the haircut once again.
I think Robin Strasser got an unattractive haircut in real life, and
they wrote it into the show.

I don't know if you saw her scenes with Todd in their respective jail
cells a few weeks ago, but she was awesome. Lindsay kicked ass and
took names where Todd was concerned. The gist of their conversation
was that she told him there was no way he'd get away with taking
Michael and Marcie's baby away from them; that she'd lay down her own
life if she had to. Just when I thought this meant she'd kill Todd
(she was already in jail for murder anyway, after all--what's one
more?), she coldly told him that if he didn't leave M&M alone, she'd
tell Jack what Todd had done to him when he was born. Her cold,
calculated voice, with just a hint of panic underneath, was
brilliant. Unfortunately, Todd retaliated by saying if she messed
with anyone in his family, he'd "hurt" Will. Damn I wish she'd gotten
that on tape. Maybe she eventually will.
> I hope she didn't kill Truman.
I don't think she did. I have a spec, and I'll put it at the end of
this so that there will be spec space...

I wonder if they are hoping to have the case thrown out if it doesn't
go their way? Perhaps allowing Nora to prosecute, knowing that they
could probably have it overturned later by saying that she'd been
biased?
Now for my spec on Spencer's killer:

The idea that whoever killed Spencer actually meant to do it is
ridiculous, because NOBODY knew he was in Blair's room! The killer
could only have been someone who was a friend of Blair's, or hospital
staff--someone who would have walked in on the scene, saw what he was
doing, and reacted instinctively. So here's what I think happened.
After Spencer knocked Marty out and put her in the on-call room, he
returned to Blair. Just as he was bending over her, Paige walked in
to check on Blair. He turned around and said, "You." I think the
fact that they've mentioned SEVERAL times that Lindsay didn't even
know Spencer is a clue that she wasn't actually the one. It had to
have been someone he knew, because he recognized the killer. So Paige
grabbed the scissors and stabbed him, just as Lindsay walked in. As
Spencer was dying, he said something about how Tommy was Todd's son.
Lindsay and Paige made a pact: Lindsay wouldn't tell about the murder,
and Paige wouldn't tell about Tommy. Paige was covered in blood, so
Lindsay took her dress and left with it, while Paige changed into
clean scrubs.
Later, when it became obvious that Paige was about to be discovered,
she left for a remote area where, as she said, she probably couldn't
be found. Lindsay, vowing to keep her word, didn't give her up when
she herself was charged for the murder. I think that at the last
minute Paige will send a confession.
Sound good?

sense, so that probably won't be what happens:)

Great scenario! All of it... sounds perfect to me! That's just what I
wanted when Paige said she was leaving town. :)
It answers the question of why Lindsay would confess if she's not guilty
nicely.

I really like your scenario. It really doesn't make any sense for it
to be anyone EXCEPT Paige really.

You're right. I've always thought it was peculiar how she phrased any
discussion of her part in what is going on. Why not say she did it...
if she did, to those in her confidence?

Me too. I think your other scenario is the best... but who knows what
they will do?

It could turn out that she stabbed him with the
scissors but he didn't die, then Paige came in and
finished the job.

Hi, I'm ...geminiwalker. I've been watching OLTL for years, but am
finding it particularly good lately. I think it started with the Starr/
Cole storyline, but I'm also liking Jessica and Nash, I love Vicki and
Dorian (always have), Rex is so darn hot - but I think it's all the
music that's really got me hooked!
But I expected to see Will when Jen died! I mean, really! He could at
LEAST have come home for that!
...geminiwalker
D.W. McKim
was a perfect example of how actor availablity (or TPTB's willingness to
even approach them) really interferes with the show in a big way. But
at least the last time we saw Will before this latest run was when he
came back for Sam's death so i guess that's plus 2 points and minus 1!

You're kidding, right?
