What TnT Do For Each Other From Secrets 109 -- Elaine, 15:46:44 03/11/01 Sun I don’t have much to contribute as far as the OLTL goes because I stopped watching weeks ago. I don’t have the stomach for TnB. I still love and look forward to every new chapter of Secrets. I had to bring this passage here because to me this is the major difference between TnB and TnT and why Blair will always destroy Todd and why Todd and Tea need to be together. (NT) -- Elaine, 15:48:45 03/11/01 Sun
From “SECRETS” chapter 109 by Rosie 2, taken from the Sun Moon and Starr site: “For all their many problems, Téa knew that when push came to shove her relationship with Todd was symbiotic. There was mutual caring for each other's needs and wants. Both benefitted from their love. Neither was only interested in what the other could do for them. (NT) -- Elaine, 15:51:40 03/11/01 Sun
Todd had tried with all his might to be the kind of man and husband he wanted to be for Téa and she had done everything within her power to help him and save him, time and time again. Each had been the caregiver to the other when it was necessary. Téa would sometimes wonder if, in part, both she and Todd sought the love from each other that was stolen from them when their mothers' deserted them.” (NT) -- Elaine, 15:53:11 03/11/01 Sun
ITA, Elaine and I stopped watching OLTL as soon as it was clear that Todd was going after Blair again. The incarnation of Starr into demon child is another reason I don't watch. The love and giving and doing for each other was always mutual with TnT. With TnB there is also lots of giving. Todd does all the giving and Blair does all the taking. Rosie has TnT down perfectly. BTW, this chapter rocked! (NT) -- Lucy, 17:20:37 03/11/01 Sun
What a pleasure it was to have BnN written this way, so true to each of them and I love Rachel and Kevin. Tea's scenes did wonders for my heart and soul I loved her thinking about Todd, interacting with Kevin and Rachel, I adore the Viki/Tea relationship and best of all, Tea and that precious alter and Tea's love getting through to Todd, from afar. Whoa!!!! What a cliffhanger! OMG! I nearly knocked my computer off my lap. (NT) -- Lucy, 17:25:02 03/11/01 Sun
Elaine and Lucy... Welcome to the ATB/Todd Board. I am no longer watching the show either. BUT I do read and appreciate Rosie's Secrets. That is a great quote and I'm looking forward to reading this latest chapter. I think I'll print it out for my break tomorrow.. (NT) -- Louise, 19:04:50 03/11/01 Sun
Well, here I come…another Secrets fan out of the woodwork, :-) Hi Elaine, Lucy and Louise…this quote is so much the reason why I always love TnT. What Rosie sees is exactly what I get from their relationship. TnT would lay down and die for each other or for Starr. (NT) -- Sherry, 20:23:43 03/11/01 Sun
Cont'd...Now I'm not saying that this kind of Todd is what I see on T.V. when I watch. The Todd who would gladly die for his little girl is the real Todd that used to be on my T.V. and who is still in Secrets. Todd and Tea are the best thing that ever happened to each other. (NT) -- Sherry, 20:25:19 03/11/01 Sun
Cont'd...I love that Viki, (in Secrets) sees this and has come to love Tea like a daughter. I love the way Rosie has captured Tea's strength. I can totally see her ignoring her health to be there for Todd just the way in the previous chapter he held himself together at all costs to be with her and they both were there for Starr. (NT) -- Sherry, 20:27:12 03/11/01 Sun
Cont'd...As for Bo and Nora…I loved them here. I can see HBS and RS playing out these scenes as if it were on my T.V. Rosie did a wonderful job with them and with Rachel and Kevin. Rachel was so wasted on her brief return to OLTL. Then end scene is such a tearjerker and the cliffhanger was shocking. LOL, Lucy, it was jarring./eom (NT) -- Sherry, 20:28:58 03/11/01 Sun
Elaine, Lucy and Sherry, HI and welcome. Ok, I've been wanting to START "Secrets" for a while now after hearing all these wonderful passages about TnT and Todd and Téa. Thanks to Rosie as well for what sounds like a wonderful story. I am gonna print this baby out. (NT) -- Jules, 21:54:06 03/11/01 Sun
I can’t believe how consistently great Secrets is. After all this time I look forward to each new chapter and I’m as fascinated with it as I was from the beginning. This was an amazing chapter. ITA on BnN and Rachel and oh man do IA on Tea and TnT. Rosie gets our Delgado so good. My heart is still in my mouth over that last scene and before that it was filled with smiles over Tea’s scene with that adorable alter and what Todd heard. I would love to see RH and FL do this story so much. (NT) -- Anna, 00:16:22 03/12/01 Mon
LoL Sherry, I'm poking my head out of the woodwork too. Television OLTL is too depressing to even talk about. I consider Secrets my OLTL. Not only is it a great Todd and TnT story. It's also, IMO, really OLTL. So many of my favorites are in it or pop up in it, like BnN. Chapter 109 was extraordinary. (NT) -- Beth, 01:59:32 03/12/01 Mon
The passage quoted is one of the best definitions of TnT in my book and that last scene of Tea holding one sweet, innocent alter in her arms while another troubled and dangerous one looks on and that cliffhanger had me riveted to the page. I print it out. You cannot believe how gigantic my "Secrets book" is. :) (NT) -- Beth, 02:02:01 03/12/01 Mon
When I used to run the Secrets posts on MD, I was endlessly impressed at diversity of readers who delurked to share their povs about Rosie's story. Whether they believed original DID story or not, I heard repeatedly it was her heart & soul type of writing delivered chapter after chapter and gift for cliffhangers that kept them hooked on Secrets. Kudos to Rosie, unlike soap writers of today, she consistently delivers highest quality! :-) (NT) -- Pilar, 02:45:01 03/12/01 Mon
Hi Elaine, Lucy, Sherry, Anna! ITA with Pilar, nothing brings out the lurkers like one of Rosie's dynamite Secrets chapters! Of course that whole story is splendid. Someone posted a thread on the ABC Board yesterday to Tomlin imploring him to read this chapter and put Rosie on his payroll! ICAM! Elaine, thanks for bringing this wonderful TnT passage here, meshes perfectly with MY vision of TnT and how they were under the Labines! (NT) -- jackie, 12:00:20 03/12/01 Mon
ITA with all of you, this was an amazing chapter added to the entire amazing body of work that Rosie has given us. I can’t count how many times I’ve said to myself that I wish it was Rosie’s vision of TnT and OLTL that we had been subjected to instead of Jill’s vision and now GT’s vision. (NT) -- Mariann, 15:06:30 03/12/01 Mon
Not since my beloved Labines have I seen writing this good and in many ways I think Rosie’s an even better writer than they were. That passage is what TnT are about. Other things Rosie has written about them have also gone right to the heart of TnT. (NT) -- Mariann, 15:08:03 03/12/01 Mon
On top of that, she gets all the other characters, like Viki, Dorian, BnN, Kevin, Sam, Rachel, Starr, even Blair. She turns them into flesh and blood people, with that heart and soul that is so often mentioned when Secrets is talked about. The situations they’re in are realistic and all of this is managed with realistic plots instead of one SPD after another and we get payoff and satisfaction. (NT) -- Mariann, 15:09:56 03/12/01 Mon
I have to make a special mention of the last few scenes in this chapter. They are totally awesome. I’m very happy to hear that Secrets is being brought to ABC’s attention. I hope they read it and see what good writing looks like. I think they have forgotten. //eom (NT) -- Mariann, 15:12:11 03/12/01 Mon

OT: GH Petition to get rid of Angela Shapiro, JFP and McHack -- Monica, 14:01:55 03/10/01 Sat
[ Post a Reply to this Message ][ Edit | View ]

Jackie, you're absolutely right. Shapiro is the real problem, and ideally all three need the boot. I urge all TnT fans, who remember what Jill did to our couple to run, not walk, and sign this petition. I'm sure with our help they will have more than enough signatures to make a difference. :) (NT) -- Megan, 23:27:39 03/10/01 Sat
Thanks to Monica...I went, I signed, and I commented plenty! ITA that AShapiro is the major culprit because she allows that mediocre team of JillMcHack to stay in business with their disgusting vision(s)! (NT) -- DebbieB, 04:14:11 03/11/01 Sun
Ah Monica, we OLTL & GH fans are feeling doubly screwed that's for sure. I got a bunch of emails from GH fans I stay in touch with and whew, that upcoming GH luncheon may prove as "tough a room for Jilly" as the May 99 OLTL one! W/Shapiro targeted too I bet it won't be the typical GH fan lovefest. (NT) -- Pilar, 05:17:39 03/12/01 Mon
And I'll be honest, while I support ANY campaign to oust Shapiro, the petition IMO wasn't that well written & including Howarth was a mistake. Strasser is THE documented OLTL star driven out by Jilly & matches up w/Sarah Brown quitting, BOTH female characters fighting NOT to be written into psycho corners. BRAVO, Sarah, I do believe Jilly will recast "psycho-Lindsay clone Carly" but at least you don't have to ACT that crap. (NT) -- Pilar, 05:21:39 03/12/01 Mon

LOL!!! I don't even believe they're this desperate to prove the LUV of tnb. Will Todd have tears in his eyes? Will Blair blow her nose on his sleeve? Will I be around to find out? eom/Mija (NT) -- Mija, 19:59:08 03/10/01 Sat
I will be there (NT) -- Pat, 02:30:41 03/11/01 Sun
So glad you could drop by, Pat. I will be there, too ... with a big box of Kleenex for my tears as I see Todd further humilate himself for his OTDominatrix... screaming, "The stilleto heels!! Wear those!!! Step on me with THOSE!! Oh THANK YOU Missus Blairrrrrr!!" (NT) -- Cabbie Esq, 03:25:51 03/11/01 Sun
Never tuned out OLTL w/Todd onscreen but for most part last & early this year I didn’t save Todd tapes, a first for me! Anyways, Elisa, appears the “critics” share same cable box as you & I, praise I’ve read for Roger/Todd’s story came AFTER GT wrote for “Real Todd Manning” during “specter & Hell No Week.” Now, GT appears to be resurrecting McHack’s Todd as Blair’s whipping boy & I’m at a loss to understand why backtrack to a story that tanked w/critics & got such mixed fan response? (NT) -- Pilar, 00:38:25 03/12/01 Mon
So far I've tried to give GT benefit of the doubt calling him TPTB not TIIC... this week sorely tested my resolve. Not just Todd but writing for Colin tanked, overall lousy, stupid writing this week w/lackluster performances.. (NT) -- Pilar, 00:40:55 03/12/01 Mon
LOL, writing is so inconsistent cause show’s suffering DID, McHack & GT are different ALTERS w/diverse visions... integrating them has proven MAJOR challenge. W/new Hwers CW & LB, here comes another “vision/alter” into the mix, will take a lot of time to re-integrate the mess made of core Llanview!… As for Lindsay, I don’t live for the day anymore she gets her just desserts, I just want her off my screen permanently, could care less anymore HOW that happens, that’s how fed up I am w/her! (NT) -- Pilar, 01:43:28 03/12/01 Mon
Elisa, IF Todd “begs forgiveness” from Blair for that’s proof positive this is NOT real Todd, a man who couldn’t even bring himself to beg his REAL victim, Marty. W/her, he could only offer true remorse & heartfelt I’m sorry when Marty deserved that & more from him! Actually Todd begging forgiveness from a woman who accused HIM of HER crime reduces his self-esteem to another all-time LOW point, IMO, proof he feels he deserves to be treated liked TRASH!

This sounds great! I love, love, LOVE that Blair is in cahoots with Kelly and not, not, NOT with Todd. I love that Todd wants to rectify the situation, even though he DID NOT cause it. It sounds like soap 101, where we get both factions trying on their own to achieve the same goal, which is to outmanipulate the geek Max! Doesn't sound like love has much to do with it I just have to add, I hate that we have to suffer through peculiar sex stuff, courtesy of the DeP's. Sounds like a night in the life of Kassie and Jimmy, what with her spraying his, ah-hem, thingaling, with silly string. Sometimes too much 411 isn't such a good thing! LMAO! -- Carol, 11:33:44 03/10/01 Sat
Why is Blair at the penthouse with Todd? Has she moved in with Todd and Starr? (NT) -- TNTer on the Edge, 12:37:59 03/10/01 Sat

Oh yeah .... a friend of mine was on the set that day they filmed the "Blair-has-no-key scene." I understand the "Blair-finds-she-has-no-key" scene was cut. Click inside for transcript ..... -- Cabbie Esq [inspired by Carol :)], 17:46:58 03/10/01 Sat

Okay, is there anyone aside from me who's having horrible visions/memories of the Armitage bombing and Todd in a Patrick wig??? This is all so darn goofy! (NT) -- Nic, 00:23:20 03/11/01 Sun
Hi gang! I got pre-empted locally today in honor of College Basketball...the recap at ABC makes it seem like nothing much happened. Did I miss anything blockbuster? Did Colin leave his little set-up before revealing any real secrets? Was there any purpose to the whole 'get together?' Was the break-up between Max and Skye the real deal this time or just more games? Thanks in advance for any scoopage ;) -- m&m, 01:48:14 03/10/01 Sat Elisa, I wasn't sure at the end though - didn't she let him kiss her? (NT) -- Cabbie, 02:38:59 03/10/01 Sat
Like RC's Skye today a lot, & enjoyed Cris & Jen scene but Colin's "showtime" was a bust big time. JMHO TT's acting last week or so went downhill again or writing sucks so much he's lost that menacing, riveting edge. Now he's carbon copy pyscho, boring one at that, please kill him asap & put me out of my misery watching him. He certainly did NOT rock the house like Roger’s Todd did during “Hell NO week” – what a letdown not big secrets reveals. (NT) -- Pilar, 05:03:42 03/10/01 Sat
Thanks so much, gals! I really appreciate it; I was with you all in thinking that the Colin get-together was gonna bust a lot of things open, but instead it seemed to be all build with no bang for our time. (NT) -- m&m, 23:26:09 03/10/01 Sat
I was looking at the abc recap wondering where all the bang was and figured that the recapper must have gotten lazy, but just plain no bang instead ;). I'm still sorry to see TT go because I felt a lot of potential there (in addition to the need for a drool bib), but they've missed the boat on how to use and develop it all. Thanks for the Max and Skye scoop too! Much appreciated (and even when the show is lackluster, can I just say how much I hate March Madness? *g*) (NT) -- m&m, 23:30:02 03/10/01 Sat
New Poll: What type of exit interview will Sarah Brown give, 1) Professional not burning bridges behind her, 2) As blatantly frank as Roger's 95, 3) Crucify Jilly in print to become the heroine of BOTH OLTL & GH victims of Jillzilla? -- Pilar, 17:14:33 03/09/01 Fri Im not really sure. I hope she will crucify Jillzilla and if she does, I will love her for it. More than likely she will do one like Roger did in 95 just to be civil. (NT) -- Regine, 17:47:26 03/09/01 Fri
Professionally speaking, it'd be best for her to do 1, but I'd prefer 2 and 3- someone needs to take jfp down a few pegs, LOL. (NT) -- Nic, 19:27:35 03/09/01 Fri
There is an official statement from Sarah Brown posted on the SoapZone message board if anyone cares to read. Here is the addy: http://soapzone.com/boards/gh/main/213422-59749.html (sorry, don't know how to do links) It sounds very professional IMO. I wish her all the best, but hate to see her go. :( (NT) -- Megan, 00:20:50 03/10/01 Sat
I hope to Sarah delivers a really indepth exit interview, she may not want to burn bridges w/ABC but man I would love to read her slam Jilly personally in some way. In my dreams... (NT) -- Pilar, 05:18:34 03/10/01 Sat
Hi Jackie! Thanks so much for bringing her statement here. Class act all the way, IMO. (NT) -- Megan, 23:22:38 03/10/01 Sat
