Is Stacy's baby about to become a part of the "Kish" storyline?
AE: Will there be other bigger stories for them?RC: Oh yeah, absolutely. The other story that's going on with them at the same time is that from his one night stand with Stacy there's a pregnant girl out there that's carrying his baby. As their relationship moves forward, you know that complication is lying out there. Obviously I'm farther ahead with the writing, but what you're seeing now is just playing out the romance and the love story without the obstacles at the moment. Down the road, the baby story will become a big part of their relationship.
Overall a good episode today, in part thanks to the hot scenes in of Stacy seducing Schuyler wasn't too bad, I could have done without a Rex/Gigi romp on the floor, but it wasn't that bad. Layla finally finds out the truth about Fish, indirectly from Nick. We also see some Kyle/Cris screentime. As Tea is about to skip town possibly, Todd pours his heart out to her as they end the day by heading upstairs together. Meanwhile, Blair heads of to Tahiti.! Fish and John set a trap for bad-cop-helping-drug-thing Keaton. The first three clips correspond with the title, check Sky/Stacey and Gigi/Rex @ in the fourth clip (0:00-1:49), and the fifth clip (2:08-2:41, 5:11-5:39) There was a little bit more to it, but I couldn't get the clip.
As I have noted earlier, I haven't really given OLTL credit in being basically the top soap in daytime, but after today and previous episodes this week, I'm firm standing behind that this soap is at the top of the daytime ladder. Compared to its nearest competitor, Y&R, OLTL can go to sadly dramatic then ecstatically hilarious, and back to a happy medium in between.
Again as I have noted before, Crystal Hunt and the Stacy storyline is improving, no thanks to JPL or FF, but to Hunt and Amanda Setton who were fantastic today and I liked dragging Fish into the scene too! I think Crystal Hunt is making sure Marcy Rylan won't be taking her job anytime soon, who replaced her when she left her old job! Hunt improves in every episode, and now slowly, but surely is at least attempting to living up to deserving her emmy-nod as GL's Lizzie. At first I was hesitant bringing on Amanda Setton on the scene as Kim, but now I'm glad it happened, and now the Stacy story doesn't even seem delusional as it once was.
Then I didn't like Nicholas Rodriguez as Nick as much as today as yesterday, mostly because his shirt was on and he didn't strip down in front of Fish. But he and Kyle weren't too shabby today, as Kyle opens up to him about Fish with the description "short, blond hair & cute." But that Layla walking in on Stacey and Fish after the earlier refuses to keep hold on to Rex and get pregnant. Tika Sumpter was on point, and she beat John-Paul Lavioser x100 in the facial expressions category when Kim told her they couldn't come into the apartment, but I'll get into that later. I'm hoping things change a little soon, because Fish is getting kind of old with all of this stuff, but definitely not Kyle! Brett Claywell brings it every time, and I'm not saying it's Scott Evans, or that it is the storyline of Fish denying his sexuality, I'm just recommending things be mixed up a bit. By mixing up I also hope Nick stays on longer. I began to enjoy Rex apologizing to Schuyler at the beginning until he started acting superficial again, and today JPL pulled out some facial expressions that I wasn't a big fan of, and if you follow me on twitter, I'm addicted to JPL's facial expressions! Good thing I didn't have a quote of the day, or wrote down Tuc Watkins' lines today because I'd have a page full! The Buchanan scenes were awesome today, and the dialogue was spot on. I even sort of liked Jerry verDorn, whom I even said the other day wasn't one of my favorites as Clint Buchanan. Eddie Alderson was also great today, especially when the reveal came that Matthew asked his brother David's help in funding his trial, which followed Hillary B. Smith's Nora to lunge at her son-in-law! Matthew also agreed to help David for anything else he needs. Bo threatened to arrest Clint for shooting, only for ALL of them minus Matthew to run off David, Markko, and the rest of his crew, with yet another gunshot by Clint!
In other "Buches" news, fellow Buchanans Natalie and Jess had a sort of interesting day in which Jessica tried to communicate with Nash from the great beyond, and Brody tells Nat and Jared his theories on Jess's stalker!
OLTL has wedding crashers, and the atrocious Stacey/Gigi keeps you glued. DAYS' Lucas rips into Kate, Y&R's Billy continues to go on his tirade against Jill; Chance, Chloe and Katherine intervene, and GH's Sonny drops a shocker on Claudia.
For some reason, I had an urge to post Rex/Gigi/Stacey scenes today. Schuyler appeared also. But back to the business, Jessica thinks she sees Nash, Bo & Nora kiss, and Matt sees it! Viki and Clint have a wedding gift from none other than Asa! Seems as if the rehersal dinner is finally normal!
As much as I don't like a Rex/Stacy baby, don't have another baby death on daytime. Have it up for adoption or move away with it or something.
End Week:
Nora goes off on Tea, but she refuses to drop Matthew as her client!
Shaun finds Rachel in Greg's hotel room.
Blair and Tea argue over Todd
Starr finds out her parents had sex!
Stacy thinks about Rex leaving Gigi for her, as Rex continues to keep his night with Stacy a secret.
Hints for Next Week:
Stacy tells Rex and Gigi she's pregnant (See video)
Gigi blames herself for everything that's happened, and then finds out Stacy's still living at Rex's apartment!
Matthew uses a kiss between Bo and Nora to blackmail them.
Dorian wants Tea to live with the Cramers to wedge between Blair and Todd!
Dorian and Blair have a fantasy where they have to live at La Boulaie alone, forever!
Then Later...
That Kyle and Fish kiss comes in early August. Read more...
Well all summed up in a few sentences, Cole & Starr's wedding went through fine besides a bump-up when Tea made a grand-entrance, and when John shows up and makes us wait till tomorrow (actually Wednesday now) to see what's happening. Will they get married since Cole's not going to jail? We had some Rex/Gigi talk, and some pop-ups by Schuyler and Stacey trying to get with Rex up in the shower. Also Nattie apologized to Jess about Brody, while Bo encourages Brody to go in the police academy, and John gets the ok to use Cole in the drug bust to get him out of prison. Today's AMC, OLTL, and Y&R were about the same, not storywise, but they mostly had the same one or two plots the whole episode. Now that that's out of the way, I watched carefully as Crystal Hunt (Stacey) performer today, and no, I still don't think she's lost her touch when she played GL's Spaulding Heiress. I understand that the character of Stacey, truly and sincerely thinks that she and Rex (John-Paul Lavoiser) were meant together. Now if you sit down and think about this for a while, this makes her just as loony as Y&R's MJ (AMC implant Stacy Haiduk)! I mean at least MJ was married and was carrying her victim's child one time! As Stacey seems to some eyes insane, to the writers she's perfectly sane, but with the character being at the point, to the viewer she seems almost unredeemable. But this just makes us glue our eyes to the screen, just to see how they'll bring this storyline out of the gloom. Poor Hunt was miscast, I mean they could have cast her as this unknown sister and foil of Blair. Or perhaps she could have been a mini Tina Lord (Andrea Evans) and the latest installment of Sarah Roberts (last portrayed by Justis Bolding). Speaking of the Lords, how come the only time they want to establish a connection between the Lords and the Mannings is when Viki (Erika Slezak) disowns Todd (Trevor St. John), then again gives into him. Starr (Kristen Alderson) is first cousins to Jessica (Bree Williamson) and Natalie (Melissa Archer) for crying out loud! Viki, Jessica and Natalie should have had their butts at this wedding. They rarely get screen time with Starr, and Jessica is usually gets screen time when she is Tess, and cooking up a nasty scheme with Todd. Take notes Ron Carlivati for your prospering soap!
