I have two words for Markko: meow and whip.

Are they setting the scene for the return of the guy who Langston saw half naked in the barn? Don't remember his name.

Langston used to be the only sane Cramer, and now she is turning into a controlling witch. To demand Markko vote for Dorian was petty and pointless, because, as far as I know, ballots are still secret. I've read Markko's vote makes the difference, but how is that going to be explained?

If Marko has any dignity left he'll run as far away from Langston as possible. I was getting pi$$ed cuz she was telling him how he should vote. Who is she to tell him how to vote? I don't want to see another David character from 'Roseanne' on this show. I hate wimpy guys about as much as I hate mouthy brats.

What a great comparison! I don't want to see it either. eom/sea

Markko, run, run like the wind. Get yourself away from the controlling biatch that Langston has become. Yes, Dorian took Langston in and is raising her as her daughter. But, Vicki took Markko in when he needed the help. So, what's the difference Langston? You have turned into a selfish, snooty, mini-Dorian and I can't stand watching you anymore.

It sort of happened all of a sudden, and I think it is preparation for Ford. eom/sea

Langie, Langie, what's the deal? You know why Marko could vote for Vicki. What did Dorian do to your relationship with Marko (and his parents)? Why isn't Mo and Noelle in the house anymore? Dorian tossed them out on a drunken rage (btw what happened to her drug addiction?) She has an idea of what Dorian will do to get her way. Dorian as mayor will lead to a city war with Springville and Shelbyville.

May Bart save your cow man.

I find Simpsons references particularly enlightening. eom/sea

I know. I know. What has happened to my Langston? She used to be a caring freak, but now she's just a controlling witch. I don't like that she's showing Dorian-esque qualities at all. The Langston that first came on the show would have defended Markko's right to vote his conscience to Dorian, not put the screws to him to "vote for her mother". I don't like this girl at all. I think she and Starr have been whisked away by aliens and replaced by Pod-Starr and Pod-Langston.

To me, just more evidence that the writers are not working together. Tea has tried to make us believe that because of blood ties, Dani is exactly like Todd. On the other hand, because of environment, Langston is becoming exactly like Dorian. eom/sea

I haven't seen today's show (pre-empted for fire coverage in L.A., so I'm taping SoapNet), but have to say that I still dig Langston. If she's displaying some Dorianesque qualities, that doesn't bug me. But I do think Marko needs to grow a pair and stand up to his girlfriend every so often. Right now, the power dynamic in that relationship is skewed. A previous poster did say that Ford is coming back. I am not down with that at all. Langston and Marko don't need a 3rd party. That's just lazy writing.

Yes. Ford. I can never remember names. I read that tptb are testing the waters with Ford and Langston. Why can't they find someone new for Starr? eom/sea

Wait...Sea...YOU can 'never remember names' ??? ... YOU???!!! ...If i sound shocked its just because Im so happy to have found another like me in the worls ha ha ha!!! - chris

Sea, the ballot you cast is only secret if its a Secret Ballot!

Btw, wheres SQUEEZE???

Anyhoot - Regarding the rest of your thoughts...i always liked Langston, especially when Estrella went from original and spunky into a horribly stupid zombie.

Yes, Markko is WHUPPED very mightily. But, is Estrella any LESS whupped by Cole?

I liked Starr and Langston alot when they were original, feisty young women...Now they are typical boring soap cliches...what Dr Lord would probably proudly call a ''Cramer Woman''

I never got that anyway. What exactly IS a 'Cramer Woman' - Is it a Mini-Dorian?

I LOVE Dorian Lord but I would NOT want my daughter (if I had one, Im too young for that foolishness) to grow-up to be just like her!

Langston needs to stop being a controlling and manipulative shrew and Starr needs to stop being a weird and dumb zombie that seems to be nothing more than a wooden puppet these days dancing to the movements of her marionet's string-pulling. The marionet being cole.

Im actually one of the few who likes both bb and cole (I know, Im sorry, lol) but that said, I still don't understand the jedi-mindtrick like hold he has over starr.

The best thing about Langston lately has been that cool red deal in her hair.

Thats what I think about it!!!

Excellent description of Pod Starr -- that girl needs some serious deprogramming -- and soon -- before Dani eclipses her as the cool Manning daughter! ~ Rhonda

Yes, where is Squeeze? I'm so over Starr right now that I just ignore her. I just hate to see what they are doing to Langston. eom/sea

Rhondz -''Dani as the cool Manning chick'' ??? - ROFL!!!!!!!!!! ... Sea - yeah, i always miss Squueze when shes not around :(

Oh, Rhonda, also: Thanx for the compliment, annnd ''Pod Starr''??? - LOL!!!!! - chris

Squeeze is at a swingers party.

lurdane, I have learned to recognize your posts without looking inside. You are very twisted and I find that incredibly lovable. eom/sea

Hi. I was visiting family in Charlotte and D.C. Thank you for asking. :o) I hardly recognize Langston. As Wanda said, the Langston I know would defend to the death Marco's right to vote his conscience. Crameresque to be sure. First Adrianna, now Langston. sigh. //SqueezeMe

Welcome Back, SQUUEZE!!! :-)) ... - chris

Thanks, Chris. //SM

Welcome back SM, you were missed! ladfan
