One Life to Live: Week in Review for February 14, 2011

John McBain, Kelly Cramer, One Life to LiveFunniest Moment: Tess's big return this week meant a huge uptick in "Funniest Moment" contenders. Our favorite of her many quips and put-downs was an offhanded insult aimed at Brody and Natalie, calling them "Captain America and Red Skull." Tess! We never knew you were into superhero comics!

 

 

WTH? Moment: Todd's freakout over finding Dani and Nate (nearly) in the act was not unexpected, but when he went to Tea with the report of the day's events, his recollection was worth a WTH or two. Saying that he found Nate "sexually assaulting" their daughter was quite the stretch, and Tea saw right through it. What's more, Nora was there to throw in a reminder of what sexual assault really looks like, Todd.

 

Best Moment: John and Kelly at the biker bar. Nothing like taking two of our characters and throwing them into an unfamiliar situation, and watching John and Kelly first wallow in their own current miseries but then have to band together and fight back against some aggressive biker types was totally entertaining.

 

Performer of the Week: Bree Williamson as Tess. Have we mentioned that we love Tess? Can you stand for us to mention it a few dozen more times. Tess! Bree does such a fantastic job playing her -- from her scarcastic quips to her aggressive sexuality to a teensy little bit of a sympathetic side. After all, at the end of the day, she just wants to have fun and not be boxed away inside Jess's brain -- what's wrong with that?

 

Why We Love One Life to Live This Week: Great moment between Aubrey and Clint this week, as she scrambled to make sure he wouldn't tell Joey what she's really all about. It was great to see another instance of Aubrey thinking on her feet, but we also loved this exchange: Clint: "You must be some piece of..." Aubrey: Mind your manners, Dad!"

 

What were your favorite OLTL moments this week?

IM REALLY GLAD EVERYTHING COMMING OUT THE WAY IT DID, BECAUSE THE WAY NATALIE AND BRODY HAD TO RUN AROUND LYING ALL THE TIME WAS GETTING REDICULOUS. I THINK IF SHE WOULD JUST HAVE CAME OUT AND TOLD THE TRUTH IN THE BEGINNING, MAYBE SHE WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE WITH JOHN. THE WHOLE JESS,TESS THING ISN'T REALLY THAT OLD,BUT I REALLY WANT TO SEE SOME OF VICKI'S HEAD SWIMMERS COME BACK OUT TO PLAY WITH CHARLIE AND ECHO. CHARLIE U R DEAD WRONG FOR HURTING SOMEONE WHO LOVES U SO MUCH,NASTY! AND FOR U ECHO U HAD BETTER WATCH OUT FOR DORIAN TOO,CAUSE WE REMEMBER WHAT JEAN,DONE TO DORIAN LONG TIME AGO...WHO ALL REMEMBER THE SECRET ROOM IN THE CLOSET. KEEP IT UP! ONE MORE THING, KELLY SHAME ON YOU, UT U GO GIRL. JOHN IS SO SEXY!!!!! AND JOEY OPEN UR EYES UP BOUT YOUR GIRL,SHE AINT RIGHT. GO GET KELLY AND DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

So glad Natalie is getting a taste of her own medicine. LOL, love it!! It is time for Aubrey to get busted, can't stand her either. Don't like Blairs role, she always gets mixed up with the wrong men. Vicky needs to kick Charlie to the curb, ugh he's gross, sleeping with Echo, yulk! I want to teach Shane how to defend himself. Don't want Langston to get hurt, but she's about to, hate she's going to exit the show that way.

I have lwatched One life for many yrs. but, am, sick of the Jess, Tess thing. It's worn out now. Sure hope all this turmoil doesn't bring back Nikki. Don't think I could stand to watch that again. Enough already.

Would like to see Tess. Jess story line out. Can't the writers come up with anything else?? It's old, Vikki, Nikki, etc. Miss the 1st Jess who was sweet. Don't like this one at all & Absoluely would never miss Natalie either. Jared wasn't cold & she's hot after John. Was happy to see John tell her to get lost. About time. The identity thing is dragged out too long. Shorten it up & it wouldn't be so bad. These days Clint makes Asa look like a good guy. Asa would never have treated Nora that way.

I can't stand Kelly---ugh---
She is a bi**h she slept with her husband's son Duke if anyone remembers---and had a baby with him---she is sick and disgusting ---
John i really liked him before ---i always thought he was a smart man ---boy i was wrong about him---he is acting like a teen and not like a grown up man---i'm so disappointed in him ---
Natalie is the only woman for him i hope he realizes that sooner than later---

I love the story line. That's for bringing Tess back awsome John and Natile break up very awsome John and Marty should of never broke up I like as the hot couple Rex and Gigi but I think new couple is Tess and Ford that's. For not having the same old story line like the other soaps a fan for life.

I WISH THAT JOHN AND NATALIE GET BACK TOGETGHER. THE MAKE A NICE LOOKING COUPLE. BETTER THAN HIM AND MARTY. NATALIE DERSERVES TO BE HAPPY FOR ONCE....

Oh, Natalie's a slut. She grieved for her beloved dead husband for less than 90 days before she suddenly developed the hots for John again and set about snatching him away from a relationship with his pregnant girlfriend.

Then, after she figures John's chosen Marty over her, she mourns his loss for about five minutes before she's she doing the nasty with Brody to "lick her wounds." What's with these soap opera twits who equate solace with jumping the bones of the nearest male. That woman is like an alley cat.

What's she going to teach her son? Pork as many as you can before you're eighteen, son. Ya' want to make sure you don't miss any.

John was being cruel this week and from what I gather, he's going to be even more cruel in the coming weeks. Although John & Kelly were drunk, John does not and will not equate this to Nat's drunken sex with Brody because he did it on purpose to hurt Natalie! John had a right to be hurt and angry but I would rather not see him rolling in the sheets with Kelly of all people; this stupid story lines ruins both of these characters, and just when they were starting to be likable again. I have hated Kelly since she returned but have liked in this quad story with Cutter/Aubrey/Joey. I have LOVED this new John since he and Nat got back together and experienced fatherhood, but now I'm back to hating John again.

Stupid writers! I hate this story because they're doing it all for shock value and entertainment purposes and it's so maddening that NO ONE in Llanview can end up happy for a change. I want John and Nat to be happy with their baby, but it looks like this may never happen. If it doesn't happen, I am done with OLTL. As a Jolie fan, I am tired of being jerked around like this.
