In reply to: Pilar 's message, "Jackie, can't speak for Jane nor Elisa but it's not just a bad Todd story that has this Toddaholic ready to tune out. In 95 w/Todd Lord I was disgusted then too, but REST of Malone's writing was still very good, especially Viki's DID. Now, after about 3 good wks, ALL of OLTL writing went south again & not a single story except maybe a mild interest in Cris & Jen holds my attention!" on 15:01:06 03/16/01 Fri

I didn't like T&B1 mostly because of the pregnancy lie, but also because I found Todd at that time to be much less exciting than he'd been prior to that. BUT I didn't find myself screaming at the TV for months on end like I have been for almost every episode since Todd's return this time. The four Toddless days we just had were very pleasant, no screaming at my TV. All I had to do was see the T&B promo to start screaming again, so I figured it was time to give it up until things get better. (NT) -- Elisa, 15:29:38 03/16/01 Fri
- Elisa, Todd Lord lost TM's edge & ended up more & more unrecognizable so at times yes I did scream at my TV when T&B I came on. However, I enjoyed balance of show, especially Viki's DID & for Todd, lived for TnM and T&V scenes. Now with or w/out Todd onscreen this long-time OLTL fan can't find a single story that holds my interest. Give me GOOD writing & I can suffer thru a lot, for a few wks GT was whipping show into shape now it's fallen back into dreadful scripts. (NT) -- Pilar, 16:15:50 03/16/01 Fri
  - Oh I definitely screamed occasionally during T&B1, but not like I have during this Todd incarnation. Between the worthless stories Todd's been part of combined with the rest of the show being so awful, there's literally probably been an average of only one episode a month I didn't scream through and maybe ten scenes I've really enjoyed. Sad, in nine months time. (NT) -- Elisa, 20:02:47 03/16/01 Fri
