One Life to Live Recap
By Scooter Smith on January 27, 2010
I found it ironic that Tuesday's episode started with a bunch of horny toads, and ended by their signifigant others jumping through hoops to take care of others. Today was a great episode, which is hard for me to say since it had Rex, Gigi, and Greg. Still I loved it.
First thing I want to talk about is Bo and Nora. I have to say that although they don't sizzle like some of the fresh meat on the show, I thought their scenes in the beginning were pretty sexy, in a mature way. I was disappointed that they immediately started talking about Clint afterwards. Couldn't they be happy for more than two minutes after?
Clint and Kim was great today too. I loved how he fumbled all the papers when he saw her, just classic. I really got the sense she actually meant what she was saying to him. I have a feeling she is actually going to fall for him, just as Charlie dies/goes to jail, and Clint has to take care of Viki.(Theory not Spoiler). Could you imagine Amanda Setton vs Erika Slazak? It would be fantastic, and if written well enough, could get Amanda a Supporting Emmy nod. Eh, I am probably just dreaming.
Rex and Stacy at home was cute but was mostly filler, so that calling him to tell him about Jessica would make him and Stacy appear out of the blue. I like that they had ideas for names that they couldn't agree on. We are having the same problem with our new little boy on the way, and it is the same thing. No names work for both of us.
Schuyler and Gigi were cute, but when it isn't forbidden, it is boring. But isn't that how it always is? I don't know, maybe its that they aren't written the same way, but they seemed kind of tame and lacking any heat, which was there in spades three months ago.
Greg and Rachel seemed to serve no purpose Tuesday, other than to take care of Matthew while Bo and Nora are in Texas.
The last few segments of everyone together at Llanfair were great. I loved the interaction that Bree had, and her new cousin Shane taking care of her. I liked Tea and Todd playing backup, and doing it to the nines. I liked that Shane thought about and cared about Stacy's baby. But most of all, I loved that in 60 seconds or so, Erika Slazak reminded me why she has more Emmy awards than any other woman. She is phonomenal, and I applaud TPTB for their continued use of the amazing vets on this show.

Kim as usual made me want to don a smoking jacket and light a cigar. The Clint and Kim-isms made me laugh so much that I had to rewind the scene a few times. I agree with you about Kim starting to fall for Clint. Also, I could Kim vs. Viki once Erika Slazak returns for her leave. By that point Kim and Clint would have time to bond more and she will probably cling to him more once Stacy bits it.
Rachel and Greg were filler but enjoyable filler. Plus I don't think OLTL wants its viewers to forget about its 'black characters'. Heaven forbid Ron and & Co. are accused of trotting out their black characters on the 1st and the 15th. I don't think they want to get crucified on a DC Podcast.

Loved everything Clint & Kim. I am so suprised by the amount of hot chemistry these actors have with each other
I really do hope they both fall for each other!
favorite line: While Kim is looking at herself in the mirror
"I'd do me".........she is funny

JvD is must see - who would've thunk. Kim & Clint could be interesting. I'm not certain I want to see Clint & Vicki back together.
I thought Todd came to talk to Vicki about Dani?

LOVED amanda setton in that ep!! that woman is just made of awesome. the mirror scene was hilarious, and she has chemistry with everything from her leading men to the potted plans in the buchanan mansion.
i enjoyed pretty much everything you did, and i even feel that rachel/greg are improving as actors. but seeing them made me miss shawn and destiny.

Frankly, I'm surprised that everybody else is so surprised by the chemistery between Clint and Kim---FYI, Jerry ver Dorn has been down this road before(and successfully I might add) with a little show called GUIDING LIGHT when he was half of one of the best couples on the show, Ross and Blake(great chemistry with Liz Keifer and, before her, Sherry Stringfield). Granted, the age diff between Clint and Kim may exceed that of Ross and Blake, but if nothing else, I hope this storyline continues to give great material to the up-until-now undervalued ver Dorn as well as comedic goddess Amanda Setton. Here's hoping.

Kim is my favorite character, hands down.
When she was telling Clint what she liked about him and she said she loves when he picks up his shotgun and shoots things, I was cracking up. I also love seeing Clint laugh. It was just so cute.
Even when they were going at it on the bed, it didnt' seem nasty at all. Sometime when older people (Victor Newman!) make out with a younger woman it looks nasty but Clint and Kim were so sexy.
I am a Rachel fan. I remember the actress from her music video/VJ days. She has a personality. The only time she's boring is when she's with Greg. It's the actor. He is so boring. That man doesn't seem to have an ounce of personality. It's time for Rachel to get with another man. I really wish they would mix her up with Cristian and Layla. Whenever she's in scenes with Greg, they do seem like filler scenes.
I still like Gigi and Schlyer. It's because of their chemistry. They have tons of it. I really wish though that they would show Brody and Shane in some scenes together. Brody helped raise that boy. I would have loved to see him hug Shane goodbye but he was rescuing Jessica.
I hope to the soap gods that Mitch makes Jessica Tess forever. I don't want to see any trace of Jessica left in her. I know Natalie is the sassy sister so Jessica is the good sister. It's okay for them to have two sisters be sassy. I want to see Brody and Tess.
I will never understand why people like Rex.

I am loving Kim and Clint! So surprised, because I thought I would be skeeved out by the age difference. Instead - they have great chemistry together! So fun. And I think they're becoming friends, too. Can't wait to see this play out. It'd be nice for Clint to have a hellcat like her on his side. I love their sense of humor together. And I agree with an earlier post - the make-out scene was great. I was so grossed out when I saw "Victor Newman" slamming his tongue down a younger actress' throat. But Kim and Clint definitely have chemistry. I'm sure they will get closer after Stacey dies. Clint will learn more about Kim's past and see her vulnerability. I just hope they keep the lightness and humor - even as they get to know each other better. Yeah!

I have to agree with BigDede, I actually like Rachel and I think Daphne Duplaix is great--I especially like her relationship with Tea. Now the thing with Greg...uh being paired with the show's worst actor bar none is doing neither the actress nor her character any favors. I think you're right though; inserting her into the Layla/Cristian storyline would be a good move on the writers' part. And dumping Greg from the canvas would be an even better one.

I would love to see them try Rachel with DG's Kevin. That could be gold.
