It's just (obviously) a hot button issue for me. And after the travesty of Reid's death, I don't know if I could stomach another heart transplant storyline no matter how well its done.Kate Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688638047837478955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31654781.post-32223775788164577342011-06-14T04:46:51.476-07:002011-06-14T04:46:51.476-07:00Oops - that should say "GL with Maureen Bauer...Oops - that should say "GL with Maureen Bauer" not Michelle - though the recipient (Jessie Blue) would later turn up and fall in love with Michelle.lovelurehttp://www.lukeandreid.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31654781.post-7797329675486755582011-06-14T04:20:31.188-07:002011-06-14T04:20:31.188-07:00In fairness, I don't think this is quite the s...In fairness, I don't think this is quite the same situation. I normally agree with you, Kate, but I have to step back on this one.<br /><br />First of all, JP isn't the headwriter at OLTL. Ron Carlivati is. I don't watch OLTL, but by all soap press accounts, OLTL is on fire, and their ratings would back that up. Most of that improvement has come after JP joined the writing staff as lovelurehttp://www.lukeandreid.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31654781.post-53303391283612324742011-06-13T10:18:16.730-07:002011-06-13T10:18:16.730-07:00Aha!

It was undoubtedly "fresh and new" 50+ years ago; now, however, it's just a way to make the people involved look careless.Maia Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352482028469213261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31654781.post-44169222726046030442011-06-12T21:26:08.157-07:002011-06-12T21:26:08.157-07:00Bravo!

Train, what train?), it shamefully borrows from the first (and best) storyline to go there, the heart transplant on GH years ago. Then, if memory serves, it was the young son of one of the key couples on the show, and his heart went to his equally young cousin.

And to make it repeatedly is just pathetic, sloppy, and thoughtless. The writer in question obviously has no creativity left to give.Maia Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352482028469213261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31654781.post-37197031397931328102011-06-10T07:26:31.500-07:002011-06-10T07:26:31.500-07:00I've been home with a broken foot so I've ...I've been home with a broken foot so I've been watching alittle of OLTL and yes it looks like they are recycling the heart transplant story. That it's a young boy that is dying is bad enough but it does bring back awful memories of Reid and his horrific death on ATWT. Right now Terri is not directly involved so that's a good thing.rissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11188937063114015099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31654781.post-64140184766770513792011-06-10T07:21:12.597-07:002011-06-10T07:21:12.597-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.rissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11188937063114015099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31654781.post-45517693891768672902011-06-09T23:25:17.643-07:002011-06-09T23:25:17.643-07:00Oh, Gods, I hope Teri's not stuck in that stor...Oh, Gods, I hope Teri's not stuck in that storyline again. No, as far as I know, it's Clint needing a new heart, and his estranged brother Bo's son Matthew who's going to kick the proverbial bucket. Pretty sure Teri's storyline isn't connected to that one. I could be wrong, though. <br /><br />*smfh*Kate Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688638047837478955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31654781.post-88785453106581910712011-06-09T12:25:32.885-07:002011-06-09T12:25:32.885-07:00Will it involve Terri's character again?

I don't watch many soaps, but I'll kick it off. Am I right that this soap is going off the air next year? If so, then maybe a slow escalation to the end would be approriate. Hmmm. You know, I can't think of a single suggestion. Every time I do, I realize it's happened in real life.
