OLTL—Friday–8/27—There is More to This Story


OK, don't panic or jump to conclusions about Téa.  I've been watching this story for a VERY long time, and unless we actually see the person die right in front of our eyes, there is a VERY good chance, the person is NOT dead.  This is a typical soap opera pattern.  They put the character in limbo for as long as is necessary for the actor to go off and do another gig, or whatever.  Remember, this is a day-after-day story, with no end.  Life happens, and they work that into the script.  These episodes are taped MORE than a month ahead, so there is plenty of wiggle room.

Remember, the character of Markko went off to film school at UCLA, but in reality, the actor is performing in a Shakespeare production somewhere.  He'll be back after this Summer and will probably tape episodes for when he comes back for Christmas break or something and then Langston will have to make decisions again, because you know, by then she'll be involved with Ford... again.  THIS IS A SOAP OPERA.  But, isn't that why we love it.  It goes on and on, just like our own lives.  I'm in it for the long haul now.

So, today wasn't that eventful. I'm wondering if we are still viewing a Thursday cliff hanger instead of a Friday, which we will then see on Monday.  At any rate, nothing was really that shocking today.

Blair did not say "I do" yet, so there still could be some twist coming.



Even though Greg said "Téa died last night," I think, he is really hiding her somewhere. I am not getting this from spoilers or Internet gossip, because like I said previously, I don't read it—I like to be surprised—this is JUST my opinion.  No matter what Eli is holding over Greg, he is NOT going to suddenly turn into Dr. Evil.  He is a dedicated doctor and he has taken an oath to do no harm.  He will protect Tea in the end.  I believe she is NOT dead.

Her family, on the other hand, is going to be devastated and who knows what will happen next.  Todd's face showed signs of doubt, so he may not believe Greg.  Monday's episode, should be good.

Apparently, Ross Rayburn DID shrink in the wash, as a fan commented on Twitter.  I hate to be height prejudice, but those two "brothers" look ridiculous together.  Weren't there any other actors available?!?!  How could they possibly cast that actor, just because he has soap experience and he does low-life well?!?!  Somebody on Twitter called him "mini Ross" I have to agree. A real disappointment!!

I really don't want to talk about Kelly and Rex. I hope that doesn't develop into anything!! And how funny was it when John was looking at maps on a bulletin board instead of on the Internet. Yikes. Thanks and a shout out to @minorman.

So that's about it, until next week.
