Reflections by Jill - A Weekly Commentary for OLTL for June 2, 2008

She is going to lose Adriana for good because of her meddling and the loss will be devastating and permanent. Adriana will lose on all counts when Rex finds out she knew he was Shane’s father and didn’t tell him, which will push Rex to want out of their marriage. Dorian is going to have a lot of grief to deal with in addition to the fact that she will be responsible for other tragedies.

Speaking of tragedies, Nash will finally meet his end this week. We saw him nearly lose the vineyard to his investors who decide to turn it into a big mall. Nash is surprised at this but there is no way he should be surprised because the trust he put in these people was totally unwarranted. He finally, reluctantly, accepts Jared’s help when Jared offers to have B.E. come up with the money to buy out the investors. It seems that Dorian’s revelation at the Buchanan Board Meeting that Jared is not a Buchanan will lead to a huge fight between Jared and Nash, which will lead to Nash’s death. I hate this; I hate that we have to lose Nash and if this weren’t horrible and sad enough, we now know that Jessica is once again pregnant. Nash won’t be the first member of Viki’s family that died directly or indirectly because of Dorian and I think it’s horrible.

I just hope that when everything comes out, Viki goes after Dorian and makes her pay like she never has before. Seeing Dorian pouring vodka down Charlie’s throat while he was unconscious made me sick and so did Dorian’s question to Viki when she came by and wondered if she or David had seen Charlie and Dorian asked, “Have you checked the drunk tank?”

Then we have Lindsay. I am sick of her. And wouldn’t you know that those dumb Buchanan men would keep making excuses for her and letting her be a part of their lives. I really thought Bo had more sense, but nope, he sure doesn’t. He sure isn’t thinking with the head on his shoulders when he decides to forgive Lindsay for providing Clint with all that dirt he used to blackmail his competitors. He just sits there and tells her they will be okay as long as she doesn’t keep any more secrets. OMG, I could just die laughing! She’s keeping the biggest whopper of a secret and thinks she’ll get away with it. Clint doesn’t care what Lindsay does since his business is back on track and I wanted to smack him when he told Nora that she was irrational when it comes to Lindsay. Actually, Nora should have smacked him and told him to find another place to live for insulting her intelligence like that. It’s too bad that Nora had to remind Clint of all the horrible things Lindsay has done to her and her family over the years. I applauded Nora when she finally told Clint that she would use his tactics and dig up her own dirt on Lindsay to prove she is a fake and a murderer. Go Nora!

RJ sure wasn’t messing around when he put Lindsay to the test by telling her that she had to give up Bo if she wanted him to keep quiet about her faking her breakdown. We haven’t seen enough of RJ to really make us believe that he wants Lindsay for himself in that way, but I guess that’s how he feels and once she told him she couldn’t give up Bo, he was convinced that she really wanted Bo and didn’t share his feelings for her. Can Lindsay trust him to keep quiet? I guess Lindsay has as much on RJ as he has on her so she might feel safe, but I think she has more to lose for sure.

And we can’t forget David, can we? He and Addie were a riot together, doing half-naked partners Tai Chi. You have to hand it to Addie. She is making up for lost time and grabbing the world (and David, LOL) by the “you know whats.” That welcome home smooch she gave him nearly knocked David off his feet and I died laughing when she told him she hadn’t done #66 on her list yet, which was a ménage a trois. Hey, she could do worse when it comes to a cute, willing partner. And leave it to David to come up with the best line when he said, “Addie, for someone who is a couple of crayons short of an 8-pack, you’re awfully lucid.” The only thing funnier was Addie’s reply when she said, “I’m coloring with all my crayons now.” Of course, David is hanging around so that he can figure out the best way to get his hands on a bunch of bucks without working for it, so whether or not he finds out that he is Asa’s long lost son, it will be a riot to watch. Dorian has already told him that she is responsible for the problems at B.E., so David figures she’ll cut him in, especially if he finds out her secrets.

And take heart all you fans (like me) that can’t wait for Ramsey to be gone. Thanks to our change in writers, we are about to see Ramsey wiped out of our lives sooner than later. I couldn’t be happier and I can’t wait to find out who is actually up in that penthouse that he is keeping such a secret. I’m sure he’ll go out with a bang, but whatever he leaves behind can’t be as bad as having him around. (I hope). Who is up there in that penthouse? Is it Tina? Is it Marty? Is it Kaitlyn? What’s your guess? My choice would be Ben since this would be a perfect time for him to return from the dead now that Viki’s life is so interesting and includes a new man, but that’s not happening and I can live with it (maybe).

And wasn’t it nice for Gigi to walk into her house and find Brody and Shane watching a ball game and enjoying pizza and beer? How stupid is Brody? I don’t care if he knows nothing about kids; he certainly should have figured he shouldn’t give Shane beer. Okay, so he sincerely apologized. I’m not impressed. If I were Gigi, I’d worry about Brody pouring Shane a bowl of cereal without her watching. And how bad is Gigi’s situation going to get when Shane finds out that his hero of a father isn’t really his father?

Well, Tina is coming back and of course, trouble cannot be far behind. Sarah has been missing her mom, but will she be happy to have her around again? We’ll see.

See ya next week.
