Best Moments: Two things the writers have been teasing us about actually went down this week. The first was the John and Marty kiss. Now that she's got her memory back and Blair's clearly going to get back in the Todd Manning mix, we're ready to these two to pick up where they left off ... right before Marty got blown up in that IRA bombing. The second was Starr, Cole, Marcie, and Michael finding out that Hope is alive. Thank goodness. We know that the revelation hardly solves their problems, but at least one of the major roadblocks to the collective happiness of Llanview was overcome this week. Even our cold hearts were moved by those emotional scenes on Friday.

Why We Love "One Life to Live" This Week: Todd's human heart. We love a bad boy just as much as the next person, and Todd is about as bad as they get. But we swooned when he showed his tender side this week, both at Tea's bedside and at La Boulaie when Starr learned the news that Hope was alive. Has all this Marty/KAD Killer drama actually changed our man Todd for the better? We're not counting our chickens before they've hatched, but maybe, JUST MAYBE, Todd's on the way to redemption. Nah ... we're probably just kidding ourselves about that.

Have a great weekend, y'all! Next week promises to be absolutely bonkers as the action bounces back and forth between Llanview and West Virginia, so we'll have LOTS to talk about. See you then!
