I watched this ridiculous circus that was on today and thought 'what a waste of Tuc Watkins' talent'. It would be different if he was on contract and we had him year-round. But is this the best they can come up with for his guest appearances?

I feel bad for Robin Strasser too. Dorian is sorta vampish at times, but this storyline with Dorian, Addie, David and now Madame Delfina is pure cartoonish.

I was hoping that David would be involved with the Buchanans this time.

While I would be entertained watching TW read the newspaper, ICAM that he isn't being utilized in the best way possible. But what were you expecting? I certainly wasn't expecting them to maximize their limited time w/him. If the actors' strike happens, he would be available even more--since SAG isn't the union that represents soap actors, but I wouldn't count on OLTL to make the best of that opportunity either.

I could't disagree more. He is not being wasted in any way. He is always hilarious and the material he's given is always clever.

I'm just wondering if Addie's 'Get Sane" medecine has some serious side effects, and loss of feeling and concience are two of them. I know Dorian is a Bad Girl but I think this would be very hurtfull for her to see. David has never had a concience, as we all know..but the Sister she cared for all her life, so disreguarding of her feelings?

Besides marrying a man that Dorian has thrown away, what has Addie done that would hurt Dorian? Dorian doesn't want David; she's told him that a million times. That she doth protest too much doesn't count for do-overs. Part of me thinks that this is just a con of David's and Addie's (they aren't really married) to get Dorian to admit she still loves David. And part of me wants the two of them to be married. They are so much fun together. Wanda Wolek

OK you just agreed with me, I think deep down Dorian does still have feeling for David..so wouldn't you be a little hurt if you sister married your guy? Toss away's or not. L.A.

Dorian has kicked David to the curb. She has been very adamant that she doesn't want him in her life, whether or not she has feelings for him. So, why is it Addie's fault that Dorian is hurt? IMO, Dorian is the one hurting herself. If she were honest with herself and would admit her feelings, I'm sure Addie would never have married David. But Addie is taking Dorian's avowals at face value. And I'm still half-way believing that Addie and David aren't really married and are doing this to get Dorian to face her feelings. Wanda

I hope your right and it is a scam cause this whole think feels kind of creepy.And poor Dorian can't get a break from you huh? lol. L.A.

Well I liked it. In fact, I was laughing out loud and that rarely happens. What usually passes for comedy on this show is Roxanne botching some phrase or word - not funny. Today, however, was funny. It was a nice contrast to the high drama with Jessica.

I like it too. And I also liked the running commentary from Starr and Langston. It was nice seeing Starr doing something normal with her BFF instead of constantly angsting about her pregnancy. Wanda Wolek

Normal if it includes a session with a very strange fortune teller!! L.A.

Hey, that's normal times in Llanview. Wanda
