OLTL—7/16 — Temper, temper

  
At least today's surprising twist made up for yesterday's blah storylines. So how crazy is it that Nate's mother is the Ford boy's mom also?!?!  Only on a soap opera...

Can we look forward to our teen girls, Starr, Langston and Dani trying, but failing to resist the charms of the new bad boys of Llanview? Now, that's some kind of storyline.

Charlie and Viki continue with their matchmaking plans.  It's good acting, for sure, but still embarrassing to watch.  Like I said yesterday, PLEASE, leave the love-making to the teenagers (oh, and Blair—she still steams things up).

Christian and Layla are still struggling with her mother over Evangeline's care and are pushing for permission to go through Vange's papers to see if she had a living will.  Layla knows Vange can't live without life support, but Mrs. Wlliamson just wants to take her home and tries to shame Layla into thinking she would be "killing" her if they give up.

Cole talks to Hannah and she tries desperately to drop a hint to him by repeating the same phrase she has told others, "Everything I did was for you (Cole)."  But, Cole is a little slow sometimes, so he didn't catch on, yet. John McBain isn't convinced that Hannah is guilty and shares his theories with Marty.  He thinks she is covering for someone.  Marty is still grieving and would just as soon accept Hannah's confession and move on.

Blair and Eli, and Todd and Téa share their good news with each other.  Todd smarts off about something and Eli threatens that he had better watch his mouth. Todd wants to know, "Oh yeah, why's that—'Ellie'?" And Eli says, "Because I still haven't forgotten that you killed my brother (Ross Rayburn)." Todd and Téa look at each and they both realize it is time for the truth to come out.

Téa tells Eli, Ross is not really dead, but is a fugitive, so she can't reveal his exact whereabouts.  Even Blair is surprised by this news and emotions start to heat up.  What?!?!  Eli:  "Tea how could you do this to me?" 


Tea: "I'm sorry." 

Todd: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.  He's too busy feeling sorry for himself to be happy his brother's alive."

Eli:  Oh, is that right, Manning?

Todd:  "Yeah, that's right."

Todd to Téa:  "Did you even know Ross had a brother until he            showed up?   And how old was Dani?"  

To Eli:  "You didn't even meet her until she was in high school.  Boo hoo, Ross.  You're so full of it, you don't give a damn about your brother."

End of discussion, Eli loses it and Ka-boom, Todd gets a fist in the mouth.

When it is apparent the tension still hasn't cooled, Téa pushes Todd into the pool and then Blair can't resist doing the same to Eli. 

Well, that was exciting!

I guess I need to mention:  Viki kisses David and Charlie kisses Dorian.  Please make it stop.

See ya next week......
