Reflections by Jill - A Weekly Commentary for OLTL for July 16, 2007From Jill Berry REFLECTIONS BY JILL for July 16, 2007We all knew that David was going to have the magic liver that would be a match for Jessica so that she could have another transplant, but sometimes resolutions are too ridiculous even for soap operas. I was wondering how Paige could keep a straight face when she faced the family and said they had found yet another match. Hey, what are the chances of there being not one, not two, but three matches in one small circle of family and friends? I guess it wasnt dumb enough that after Vikis liver was a match that couldnt be used, Antonio would surprisingly also be a match. And then, miracle of miracles, not only is David a match, but hes standing right there at the ready so that they can throw his butt on a gurney and haul him off to surgery. We can finally say that realism is totally non-existent on daytime television.
It is pretty darned funny that David is a match for Jessica. After all, there isnt a more self-centered, greedy person in Llanview than David. Well, there is Dorian, but she at least has family that she would probably throw herself in front of a truck for. I had to laugh when Dorian mentioned the scar David would have and he said, Scar? Nobody said anything about a scar. Will it be above the waist or below the waist because I dont want people to laugh at me when I wear my Speedo. Yes, that was typical, lovable David. Well, he was lovable up until the moment he blackmailed Clint into paying him the $10 million he didnt get from Asa. Supposedly David will feel remorseful, but will he be able to make amends before he leaves Llanview? Will he be sorry for disappointing Viki? And there was good old Dorian insinuating herself into every situation. Well, it is Clints fault for letting her hang around all the time, but we know hes got no sense where women are concerned. Dorian couldnt let five minutes go by without letting first Clint and then Viki know that she was the one who convinced David to be tested in the first place as a possible donor. Clint just ignores the fact that Dorian is obnoxious and Viki is so happy that there is another donor that she doesnt care what Dorian has to say. Dorian and David really do belong together. Everything with them is about me, me, me. At least David is fun to deal with. Dorian, not so much. And lets talk about the impromptu wedding. Now dont get me wrong. I love Nash and Jessica and I love the fact that they wanted to be married as soon as possible with Jessicas life in danger. I also though Nashs proposal was very sweet and I loved the scene where Clint pulled him aside and wanted assurance that he would always take care of Jessica. Nash reaction was adorable when he thought for a second and then actually asked for Jessicas hand while promising that he would always do his best to make her happy. I just got the feeling that everybody was taking the wedding a little too seriously while Jessicas life was ebbing away in that bed. I could see a few vows spoken in front of the minister, but it was quite silly to have all that hoopla, like Roxy coming in with her makeup kit and Natalie running to find a florist when a moment before that Paige was saying that shes like it if Jessica had a stronger pulse. Duh, why were they surprised when she started to code right after the ceremony? The wedding was just a bit too silly; although I am happy Jessica and Nash are married and hope for a big shindig when shes well again. I felt sorry for Bo once he found out that Asa was the original designer behind the plan that involved that $10 million. I laughed because yes, Bo has arrested his Pa before, but Pa has never truly paid for any of his crimes. I know Bo is upset, but this isnt any different than what Asa has done in the past. Lets not forget that this wasnt the first murder contract Asa has put out. He did pay Roarke to kill Ben before he knew that Ben was his long lost son. How long does Miles think hes going to be able to go on with nobody catching on to what hes up to? Cole surely isnt going to keep his secret much longer. And you just knew that when John and that cop stopped Miles making a mad dash in Martys car, Todd would not be in that trunk. I enjoyed John taking Miles into the police station and annoying him with a speeding ticket, even if he couldnt make any charges stick right now. Its fun to watch Miles world fall apart. Hey, how stupid was it when Miles was getting into Martys car and used the key to open the door, then we saw that the window was wide open when he pulled the door closed? That sure made using the key look stupid. Who was directing that scene?
