| Fan Opinions of the Current Storylines on OLTL | |

FROM SISTER36: My favorite story line is the one involving the switched Jessica and Natalie. There is so much potential for many new developments, and all involved, (Jessica, Natalie, Vickie, Allison) are superb actresses.
I am very tired of the Jen and Cris saga. I say saga because it has been going on forever! They are boring, and have no place to go! Adding Al to the triangle might have pepped things up, but that fell flat too. Maybe this storyline would have worked with other actors, but is just is not working at all!

FROM ANGELS731: My least favorite is Troy and Lindsey, Lindsey has hurt so many lives and she gets away with all of it and I don't know anyone who doesn't have to pay for there sins at some point.
FROM FAHTEEMA: I hate the Troy, Lindsey, Nora storyline. One of the biggest problems is that we have no idea who Troy is outside of being Colin's twin. It is so problematic when they bring in a new character and then thrust them into a front burner storyline with other well established characters. This story would work for me, maybe, if after the dust of Colin's will reading had settled, they brought him the rest of the way onto the canvas slowly. We need to know who he is, where he came from, what motivates him, beyond the implausible idea that he developed the hots for Nora overnight. GT seemed to think that it was good enough that he looked like Colin and looked hot with his shirt off. I'm sorry but if I'm gonna make an emotional (good or bad) investment in a character I have to know who they are and why I should feel anything for them.
They were able to do this with the Jessica, Nat storyline. They brought Natalie in with a bang, but then slowly began to reveal her character. We have some idea of who she is and why she does what she does. Outside of the original bombshell there are so many other storyline potentials within this plotline. And because Natalie is a fully, or nearly so, developed character we are entrusted in what she does and how she feels and what's going to happen next. Her interactions with all the other characters make sense and seem plausible and because they took the time to let us know her. This is a much more interesting story than the one with Half-baked Troy.
FROM JESSMAGGIO: The best storylines Jessica/Viki/Natalie. Never saw that coming. A total shocker and upset. Erica and Erin seemed to be the most believable mother and daughter duo in daytime. I was always impressed by their likeness.
R.J./Keri: It's good to see R.J. finally part of a substantial storyline that is different from his typical "bad guy" storylines. This has massive potential.
As for the worst storyline, well it's a tie. Jessica/Seth: I just can't see this at all. Jessica wouldn't be with him for a number of ethical and moral reasons. Simply put it is beneath her. Asa's fake death took the cake. C'mon give me a break. To get revenge Asa is willing to stay away from Llanview and his family forever. Oh yeah right! It was over the top even for Asa. If he wanted to set up Max for the death of someone else maybe I could have bought that. This storyline was a complete waste of time and did more harm than good.

FROM BETTY: While All My Children is my 'official' fave show, I've gotta say OLTL has the best writers. I've been very impressed for the two years I've been watching. (I was hooked during the 1970's also) Think the Natalie story is incredible. Seth is a useless eater and Jessica is dumb for being interested. Allison is so creepy. Roxy rocks. Todd is quite funny but sometimes 'too' Todd. Love his relationship with Starr. Blair is pretty cool. Sam isn't exactly the most exiting person on the planet but I bet he gets more rattled as Nora gets more into Troy. Lindsay is the biggest hoot of all. I find Viki less than fascinating, but have been impressed with her sensitivity in dealing with Natalie. Cris and Jen are impossibly dull as a couple. Neither has the backbone to maintain the relationship. I seem to be of a minority in liking where that whole thing is going. Hope Cris falls in love with Natalie, and Jessica just gets a new man or goes without. I don't want her to be a 'victim'.
FROM AFELDER7: My favorite storyline is Todd trying to keep the truth from Blair about the "death" of their baby. I like how Todd keeps having these nightmares of Blair finding out the truth. My favorite part of Todd's nightmare is when Maria was talking English, and Todd said that I just hope that the writer's won't play it out for too long because the audience can become bored with it.
It's hard to say what is my least
favorite storyline. But I don't like that Jen is willing to give up her
relationship with Cris to be with Al, I know she feels sorry for Al and think
it's her fault that he's paralyze but it's not. Al has to learn how to be
strong for himself.
