One Life to Live 11/22/2010

Due to the Thanksgiving holidays, I have not been able to get online much nor have I watched OLTL. I am just now able to watch them and post recaps/reviews.

Last time on One Life, we had triple baby daddy drama and the results are in! Brody professes his love for Jessica and her baby, even if it is not his. But it is. Darn, I was hoping for it to be Ford's! As for the other pregnant Buchanan twin, she tells Brody that it is John's baby. Clint's inside man was successful and now Matthew is becoming suspicious of his uncle's activities. Rex officially finds out that his mother is Echo but will have to wait a bit longer to find out Clint is his father. Switching paternity results is such a pain! Viki knows that something is amiss when Clint all but jumps for joy at not being revealed the father. Clint had also asked that his daughter's paternity test result be Brody Lovett. However, I am thinking that the man got the wrong Buchanan daughter. This theory could be true due to Natalie's result having Brody down as the father.

Ford is trying to reconcile being in a real relationship with Langston but not having sex any time soon. She wants to wait 6 months before they have sex again. While they are discussing this matter, Jessica calls to tell him the good news. Ford, who had previously said that he did not want to be the baby's father and would have let Brody raise it if it was his, looked quite sad.

Todd makes sure that Marty will never see Hope or Starr again. I think Marty is going to go off the deep end. I wonder if she will try to kill anyone. Todd clues John in on Marty's intentions. John stops Marty from seeing Hope and causing trouble. Marty asks John about Natalie's amnio results. Apparently, Marty had seen Clint's guy in the genetics lab and asked to print something off.

Review of One Life to Live 11/11 & 11/12

Todd and Tea held their belated wedding reception. Tea gave a speech about the importance of living life to the fullest and loving loved ones with your whole heart. It was a very moving speech and many should heed those words. Dani sung for her mother as a surprise.

Gigi refuses to return Rex's calls after his stupid mistake. While she has dinner with Cristian in Paris, Rex escorts Kelly to the party. Both non-coupled pairs share drunken kisses and express confusion and guilt at their actions. Kelly admits that she still has feelings for first love Joey Buchanan. I wonder how many weeks the viewers will have to wait for Joey's recast to appear in Llanview, PA. Whoever the actor is, he will not be as good as Nathan Fillion.

Despite Clint's warning that Rex never know his parentage, Echo still intends to tell her son that night. Apparently, Clint has known about Rex being his son since Rex's son Shane was diagnosed with leukemia in March 2009. Clint was a perfect match for his grandson and did not divulge this information. He planned to have a team on standby if the stem cells that Gigi's sister Stacy had did not work. To ensure that Rex's paternity does not come to light, he threatens Echo with turning Rex in for corporate espionage. After badgering from Viki, Charlie, and Bo, Echo is forced to reveal that she is Rex's mother.

Starr is still reeling from Cole going to prison. James goes to check up on her and offer her support. She throws herself at him and says that she wants them to make love. James, being the compassionate gentleman that he is, does not take advantage of her and tries to talk some sense into her. Part of her emotional turmoil comes from that fact that she is angry at Cole for putting himself in his position and leaving her to raise their daughter alone.

Marty broke into Vivian's office and took Natalie's medical records pertaining to the amniocentesis. She crashes the party and tries to turn John against Natalie. John isn't taking the bait and tells Marty to leave. How long will we have to have that WTD storyline hanging over our heads?

And now for the minor subplots that get fewer scenes: Destiny told her friend Matthew Buchanan that Greg is her father and Shaun's deceased ex-girlfriend is her mother. Darren is wondering why she didn't tell him first since he is her boyfriend. For me, this would be obvious. She can not talk to most of her family since they have lied to her since she was born. She needed to talk to someone she trusts and Darren was not around at the time. Inez asked Bo to keep an eye on Eddie. Clint asked why she didn't ask him for help. Hmmm...let's see. I think it would be best to stay on the right side of the law since she works for the police commissioner. Not to mention the fact that Clint is the one responsible for having her son Bobby being beaten up (which she is not aware of yet). Langston still has feelings for Ford but does not know whether they can have a relationship. Say yes, try it out please!

Review of One Life to Live for 11/8

Due to ABC.com only having 11/9 available as of yesterday, I had to watch Monday's episode on YouTube in 4 parts. The only good thing about that was not having to see commercials.

Because Todd and Tea got married when they thought Tea was dying of a brain tumor, they did not have much time to celebrate their marriage. They and Dani have decided to hold a delayed wedding reception party and are going around town inviting all of their friends, family, frenemies, etc. They even hire Echo to take pictures at the party.

Rex is told by Viki that the love letters were copied from a book. However, she did not tell him that Echo is his mother. Nor did she tell him that she believed that Charlie is his father. Clint, Rex's actual biological father, told Echo that the reason he wants nothing to do with Rex is that he thinks he is a gold digger. I find it strange that Clint, who is all about keeping the wealth in the great Buchanan family, adopted most of his ex-wife's children and treated Natalie (who is actually his and Viki's, unlike her twin Jessica) wonderfully even though she wanted her inheritance.

Now for some Ford family drama. The child abusing SOB, Eddie Ford, has come to Llanview in search of his son James. Eddie wants the $50, 000 back that James stole from him and threatens to turn James in. When he finds out that someone beat his eldest son, he wants revenge. This strikes me as a bit hypocritical as Eddie beat up his sons and ex-wife but gets angry if someone else hits his kid. Eddie also finds out from James that his ex, Inez, is also in town and that she has told her sons the truth about her absence in their lives. I wonder what will happen when he finally sees her and their youngest son. Speaking of Inez, why is Nora so jealous of her?
