OLTL—Tuesday–8/3—Life is (Too) Short

It's always a good day when I get to see my favorite characters David and Dorian interacting in the way that only they can.  As a bonus, Jerry verDorn (Clint) is such an awesome actor, he is perfect as Dorian's shenanigans sidekick.  And by the way, he is being a great sport! [Oh, that's right—it's a soap opera. I keep forgetting.]

Eventually, when it looks as though he has truly had enough for the evening, David suggests they "do shots" to liven things up. Clint complies with conditions:  "OK, but none of that fruity crap."  He's hilarious. After David and Dorian have a few shots, things should get interesting on Wednesday.

[I'm watching David Letterman while I'm trying to write this and he is doing a GREAT interview.  It has nothing to do with what we are talking about, but, I feel a lot better for having seen it.]

A-n-d, we're back:

More Natalie/John/Jessica/Brody "what if fantasies" about Natalie's "daughter" learning how to shoot pool at Rodi's or Natalie's "son" looking through a tiny magnifying glass in John's office.  ENOUGH already.  Make a decision and live with it.  As radical as it may sound, wiping the slate clean and starting over would alleviate A LOT of stress for everyone—especially the viewers.

Without having to reveal any of her suspicions, Kelly convinces Blair to wait on the wedding by using Dorian as an excuse (that she would, basically, have a hissy fit).

Eli finishes what he started with Hannah and leaves her to die.  He arrives at La Boulaie to take Blair to the airport and is NOT happy about the recent developments.  He realizes, he has Kelly to thank for the change in plans.

McBain's research turns up a 2004 death certificate for Bennett Thompson.

Big surprise of the day: Todd and Téa.

Téa looked absolutely beautiful.  She was apparently hallucinating from her brain tumor yesterday and didn't recognize Todd, but she magically snapped out of it, they didn't have to rush her to the hospital and they actually did get married.

After the wedding, Cole tells Starr he has an uneasy feeling about Hannah, ever since she called him; and, he wants to go by St. Ann's and check on her.  He (somehow) gets past security at St. Ann's, but is stopped at Hannah's door by a nun who says she is not to be disturbed. Then he (somehow) gets the master keys and goes into her room and finds her unconscious on the bed.

[Since it looks like the cliff hangers are just bait, to get us hooked into watching again tomorrow, and not based on the actual storyline; we should probably look forward to Hannah NOT passing into oblivion and being saved by Cole, just in time.]

See you tomorrow.
