Who Should Raise Baby Sierra Mist on One Life to Live?

Poor, lil 'ol Sierra Mist Rose. As if it isn't bad enough that her slutty, deranged mama is stuck to the bottom of a frozen lake (Or is she?), the young 'un is also having to fight for her life as a passel of nincompoops fight over who should or should not raise her on One Life to Live

First up there's the baby's Aunt Gigi (Farah Fath), a well-meaning soul— if not the brightest of bulbs. Then there's Schuyler (Scott Clifton) who, although he tries to come off as earnest, is every bit as depraived as the late Stacy (Crystal Hunt) in my opinion for letting his lust for Gigi prevent him from putting a stop to Stacy's shenanigans months ago. Not to be outdone, there's Kim (Amanda Setton), the dearly departed Slutcicle's BFF, who has her teeth firmly sunk into Clint Buchanan's (Jerry verDorn)...you get the picture, ouch!
 
Last but not least, there's Oliver Fish (Scott Evans), the actual baby daddy (barring some last minute twist), who is struggling with the thought of being a parent because he's gay, as his supportive boyfriend Kyle (Brett Claywell) encourages him to step up. Now if that isn't a lineup of potential parentals to make even Maury Povich proud, I don't know what is! So what do you guys think?

Who should raise the little soft drink?

A New Beginning for Rex and Gigi on OLTL?

Can Rex (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gigi (Farah Fath) have a new beginning on One Life to Live? Jessica (Bree Williamson) doesn't remember Brody (Mark Lawson), but she sure remembers Cristian (David Fumero). Watch the promo after the jump. READ MORE

DC Exclusive: OLTL's Farah Fath Previews Custody Battle For Gigi and "Obsessed" Schuyler

The Morasco Fiasco came to an icy end this past week on One Life to Live as Stacy (Crystal Hunt), the little sister from hell, delivered Fish's (Scott Evans) daughter Sierra Rose before ultimately drowning in a frozen lake. Now the question on everyone's mind is, with Stacy now turned into a stripper-cicle, can OLTL's once-star crossed couple, Rex and Gigi (played by real life lovebirds John Paul Lavoisier and Farah Fath) find their way back to one another?

I recently caught up with Fath, at the faboosh party OLTL threw to celebrate moving into their new digs and got the skinny on a possible Rex and Gigi reunion and so much more! I found out what's next for everyone in Llanview whose lives were ripped apart by Stacy's lies. I find out who wants to raise Baby Sierra Rose now that the "truth" is out about the baby's paternity. Does Schuyler (Scott Clifton) even stand a chance with Gigi, since his part in Stacy's monstrous lies have been revealed? Not to hear Fath tell it. In fact, all Sky has to look forward to from the once and future scrappy waitress is one helluva custody battle, which she previews for Daytime Confidential in this revealing interview.

Daytime Confidential: Now that Stacy's lies have been revealed, will viewers see Gigi reuniting with Rex?

Farah Fath: If they do it won't be for a while. She's very much heartbroken by Schuyler and his lies. Rex is definitely there for her through this situation and you can tell they might want to try to work things out.They have a very open, communicative conversation about their future, which is really healthy. They are very honest with each other about the possibility that they may or may not get back together, because they have so much to work on and they both have to start over and work on their trust issues. So far in the scripts they haven't even kissed. It's not like they are jumping back in the saddle together; they're not. They are rebuilding their friendship, which I think is great. READ MORE

Why One Life to Live Deserves to be The Last ABC Soap Standing

The best argument the soap opera genre can make in favor of its own survival airs at 2pm EST on ABC/ 9pm EST on  SOAPnet. Its name is One Life to Live.

OLTL's fictional town of Llanview, PA. is a town rich in history, overflowing with talent, boisterous in personality and uninhibited by an addiction to one or two characters.

Monday’s nod to Grey Gardens–acted out by the fantastic foursome of Robin Strasser, Kassie DePaiva, Trevor St. John and Florencia Lozano–and the seamlessness with which it was woven into the double wedding ceremony of Viki  to Charlie and Nora to Clint is one of many examples of why OLTL has surpassed The Young and the Restless as the genre’s most well-written soap opera.  READ MORE

OLTL's Fath Sounds Off on Morasco Fiasco: "It's Been the Hardest Storyline of my Career"



One Life to Live's Farah Fath (Gigi) goes on the record with TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco, admitting she hates the Morasco Fiasco storyline revolving around She-Who-Ate-Llanview-With-Brian Frons'-Blessing aka Stacy (Crystal Hunt), just as much as the rest of us. She also reveals how she read on a lil' ol' website named Daytime Confidential how liquid hot Gigi's chemistry is with Schuyler (Scott Clifton)! Here's a sneak peek:

TVG: Let's talk about this Stacy mess/fiasco. How do you make a contrived storyline work when you don’t believe in the material?

FF: I haven’t gone on record yet to state how much I loathed that storyline.  This is not news to [head writer] Ron [Carlivati] and [executive producer] Frank [Valentini]. They saw right through me! They knew I was fed up. The most frustrating was that Rex and Gigi were so blatantly stupid. I knew the viewers would have the same reaction. I have enough experience to know what makes a good soap story, and this wasn’t it. You can’t piss off soap fans. Maybe for a few episodes, fine, but not for half of the entire year. There was nothing rootable about this storyline. It’s been the hardest storyline of my career. I did my best. Fans on the Internet could tell I was unhappy but I didn’t throw in the towel. That’s impossible, but there is only so much I can do. For the most part it was really hard. It got to the point when I got home I would just cry. I almost had a few nervous breakdowns! I couldn’t understand our characters’ motivation. It was great to have John-Paul there to be my rock and make me feel better because we were going through the same thing. “This too shall pass …,” he’d say to me. Rex took the most hits because of this story so I shouldn’t complain, really. It was sad because the 1968 storyline was our favourite story of our careers. READ MORE

An Open Letter to Frank Valentini

Dear Mr. Valentini,

I love One Life to Live, I really do. I haven't written much recently about your show on Daytime Confidential because there is so much going on at any given time that it can be hard to get a handle on which areas to focus. This is not a bad thing. You and your head writer Ron Carlivati have fashioned a fast moving, entertaining, and thoroughly engaging hour of daytime television that has catapulted it to the top of ABC's afternoon lineup. Bravo! There is far more good than bad on OLTL and in this case, no news can usually be good news. There is, however, one little thing that bugs me and it occurs to me that you — and only you — can fix it:

For the love of Harding Lemay, please put a merciful end to the disastrously choreographed fights between Gigi & Stacy! READ MORE

Who Should Gigi Be With?


We've been enduring the Morasco Fiasco for a while now, but one good thing has come out of Stacy's reign of terror. We discovered the chemistry between Gigi (Farah Fath) and Schulyer (Scott Clifton). In fact, if we try to make lemons out of lemonade a Rex/Gigi/Schuyler triangle may be exactly what the soap doctor ordered.

Who would you like to see Gigi with?

OLTL's John-Paul Lavoisier Says Stacy Storyline "Hard to Play"



John-Paul Lavoisier (The Character Formerly Known as Rex Balsom) talked with Michael Fairman for Michael Fairman Soaps, revealing that the Morasco Fiasco storyline starring Crystal Hunt, as Stacy, has pretty much been just as hard for him and real life lady love Farrah Fath to play, as it has been for we the viewers to watch. 

Michael Fairman:
Has this storyline with Stacy been hard for you to play, JP?

 Johhn-Paul Lavoisier: It’s incredibly hard for me to play because it’s far-fetched.  Rex sleeps with Stacy and it’s such a mistake, and it’s what’s written.  It’s where Rex’s head is at the moment. 
So, I have to commit to the material, but it is hard to play.  I want Rex to see through what Stacy is doing, but right now the way it is being written,
he is not.  Stacy is winning and Stacy is able to fake him out at least for a moment.  It probably is going to ruin his life down the line, and even more so with the aftermath of the sex.  I am doing my best. READ MORE

Sisterhood of the Traveling Rex on OLTL



Brian Frons will no doubt have on his 3D glasses next week when Rex (John-Paul Lavoisier) screws Stacy (Crystal Hunt) on the floor like a wild dog before Gigi (Farah Fath) can tell him the heifer has been lying about saving their son. Carolyn Hinsey has this preview  from Lavoisier about the stomach-churning plot twist for New York Daily News.

Rex gives Stacy the keys to [his club] Ultra Violet so she can teach a ballet class to little girls," says Lavoisier. "Rex is downing a beer when Stacy turns on the charm: 'What do you want, Rex?' He looks at her and ... they wind up doing it on a dance mat that had just been used by a bunch of minors."

OLTL's David Fumero on Wife Melissa: "We Are Obsessed With Each Other"



It looks like Daytime Confidential bloggers aren't the only ones who love our Bitchy Bangs. In the latest issue of OK!, One Life to Live hunk David Fumero is featured in the magazine's Man Candy Feature, and has some sweet things to say about his wife, Melissa (ex-Adriana, OLTL).

"We're obsessed with each other." David tells OK! of actress Melissa, whom he met on the daytime drama and married a year ago. "We're so good together it's all natural."

Sigh. Wouldn't it be wonderful if David could whisper sweet nothings in Melissa's ear and convince her to come back and save us—and Rex and Gigi's (John-Paul Lavoisier and Farah Fath) storyline—from the plague that is Stacy (Crystal Hunt)? For more on what David has to say about things like his and Melissa's TV addiction and his desire to live on the edge, check out the latest issue of OK!, and don't forget to pick up your copy of his new soaptastic movie Manhattanites!
