One Life To Live

I started thinking about One Life To Live recently while watching General Hsopital and I remembered how much I loved that show. I use to watch it everyday and would be so pissed when I missed an episode of it. I was looking up clips from OLTL on youtube and was laughing so hard because of my favorite character Todd Manning is one crazy son of a bitch.

The show had gotten cancelled in January of 2012 and it was depressing for me to see it end I had been brought up watching soap operas and OLTL was a big one for me. There were a lot of major storylines that were being brought about toward the end of the show. One major one that I really liked was the two Todds, they were twin brothers! Roger Howarth who played Todd Manning first was replaced when he left by Trevor St. John the story behind that was Todd was away and then he came back but he had plastic surgery done so he looked different. He was made to look like the brother of a sadistic man and it was working for a while he was going on with life then everyone found out that he was Todd Manning. Todd was forgiven within months of the truth coming out and he was with his Blair who was also the mother of his children, then as of course it is in soap opera land nobody can ever be happy for more than five seconds. Todd was raped by a crazy woman named Margret and she got pregnant with his son Sam, at first he didn't want the child but then he came over it and brought his son home to his family. Todd was not a nice guy he was involed in the rape of Marty Sabrooke who was later on in the series the mother of his daughters boyfriend which complicated everything. At the end of the series Roger Howarth signed on to do another show so they had to come up with a way to make room for him which was really good how they did it. Roger was the real Todd, and Trevor was put in the role of his twin brother Vitctor Lord Jr. Their mother Irene Manning had held Todd captive for years letting Victor have his memories and live Todd's life for him. It was quite insane while I was watching it and I was bouncing off the walls with excitment. They were full of hatred and Todd wanted revenge for the way Victor stole his life. Todd killed his mother in cold blood, then did the same exact thing to his brother Victor. Tea whom was married to Victor because she thought he was Todd but stayed with him because of how much she loved him as Victor. Tea was upset about the death of Victor, she held him in her arms as he died that night. I for sure thought it was the end of Victor Lord Jr, only it was not the last time he would be seen! At the very end of the last episode Victor is tied up and being held hostage I loved it! I really wish it would have been continued online but it did not work out that way.

There is a lot more to the story of Todd Manning like his wives, his kids, and his job. I could go on and on about this soap opera and I have before. The complications of the soap opera storylines is beyond me, and I go back and watch from years ago and I am always amazed by most of the storylines.

Well that is all for this entry this just came up while I was watching General Hospital which is now home to some of the characters from One Life To Live, such as Todd Manning, Starr Manning, and John McBain, and Blair Krammer every now and then. You should tune into General Hospital on ABC weekdays at 2pm PST.

Ship of the Week? Lizzington

Hello all and welcome to another Ship of the Week. Today we have the concierge of crime Raymond Reddington and FBI agent Elizabeth Keen. In the beginning it sort of seems like they are making it out like Red is Liz's father, but there I can see something else being there too. Especially in recent episode when she has a dream of Red asking her who she really wants, and he is totally checking out her bare legs, as she lay on that bed in that hotel room. Red is such a badass criminal and what makes him even more loveable is the fact that he has emotional damage that drive him to do what he does. He has lost so much, but he also loves a great deal and is very loyal, and expects loyalty in return. I love that about this character and think that James Spader plays Raymond Reddington perfectly. Plus he looks heck of cute in those suits, and hats *swoon.* Liz was married to a man named Tom Keen who we find out rather quickly is a total liar. He was placed in her life because of Redd...

This Week in Port Charles "General Hospital" Update

So I have been catching up on "General Hospital" and let me tell you that it has been a crazy week in Port Charles. Everyone who is a fan of "General Hospital" or soap operas in general know that they always take the most drastic, yet obvious turns in the plot lines. I love all this intense drama, and lives being on the line, and all the baby drama of this show. Dante and Lulu now know that Connie is not really their child, and now Maxie and Spinelli want their child back. Lulu decided that she is going to sue them for custody of Connie. Let's just talk about this story line for a moment shall we? Legally it seems like the favor would land with Maxie and Spinelli since they are the real parents, but if Lulu goes and tells a judge all of the stuff Maxie has done then yeah that could cause some trouble. I really want to see Maxie and Spinelli, even though Dante and Lulu have wanted a baby so badly. Yes, they have bonded with the baby, and have prepared for rai...

Pretty Little Liars: Ali Back in Rosewood

I was late watching the new episode of Pretty Little Liars because I have been watching a lot of General Hospital the last few days. I like that Ali is back in Rosewood because now we are going to see a whole other thing start to happen. Now that Shanna is no more they think they are safe, but Ali gets a text that lets her know it is far from over. So while Ali is about to tell Hollbrook everything that happened she comes up with this fake story about how she was kidnapped and what not. Jason is acting very strange these days and it is freaking me out. He basically threatened Hanna and Emily when they left Ali's house one night and they were talking about an e-mail on Mrs. D's computer that read 'I can't protect you anymore.' I am thinking that went to Jason, could he be the one who hit Ali with that rock? Mona is back in Mikes life which is getting to Aria especially since she heard Ali's side of the story. That Mona had been in on the whole A thing all alo...
