And no, I'm not being sarcastic about it; I <em>am </em>thanking you. I write these Otalia posts on no sleep every week (Friday night-Saturday evenings) in a marathon writing session. Sometimes I do slip up. No one is perfect. But I did correct it. Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the post and this week's analysis. Thanks for dropping by and commenting :) JCF,

This is totally fan-ficcy, but here ya go anyway: I picture a sunny afternoon, almost exactly 4 years (give or take) to the day from now. Rafe is graduating from college.

I'm happy to share my talents to promote the beautiful dream that is Otalia. I think you can see from my words just how much I love this story line. Everyone has done such an amazing job.

Thank you so much! I’m happy to share my talents to promote the beautiful dream that is Otalia. I think you can see from my words just how much I love this story line. Everyone has done such an amazing job.

Yes, I can imagine that many Otalia fans want them to make coffee together soon. Thank you for the compliments on this week's post. I tried to cut Rafe some slack this week and get into this head. I didn't like his "Rafertude" either, but I'm trying to see where he's coming from and why he behaves this way. I'm glad I could bring some insight into Rafe as well. I haven't heard the Crystal Chappell Big Purple Podcast yet; I still have a couple of more weeks to go before I feel like I will be in the safe zone. As I have said before, I can't do spoilers and write these Otalia posts. However, you're right in saying that Olivia could be that parental figure Rafe needs right now. Agreed about Olivia's swoon-worthy line. That entire scene was very sweet and beautiful. I love how this story continues to unfold each week. The evolution of the Olivia and Natalia characters please me to no end. And I too love this show so much. I do not want it to end. Life with Guiding Light and Otalia is hard to imagine. Belin,

You are very welcome. I just try to deliver my best when writing about Otalia. It pleases me to hear that my posts can provide you with some answers. Regarding the coffee comment by Natalia, I connected it to the hotel door scene the first time I watched. I was smiling because I was thinking to myself, "This is genius!" LOL. I can say without a doubt that Olivia was falling in love with Natalia probably since October 2008. The signs were there that she was looking at Natalia in a different way. I think she was not always conscious of her growing romantic feelings for Natalia though. For me, a telling sign that Olivia looked at Natalia like "this woman is amazing and I think love her just for how she feels about Emma" was the Otalia Christmas episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spJ8D47bNak). There is a moment here that's just heart-stopping for me. As for Natalia, she is harder to read because she's introverted and doesn't give much away (as to what she thinks) like Olivia. After re-watching the entire Otalia scenes on the Otaliafan channel, it's still hard for me to pick out when Natalia <em>knew </em>she loved Olivia. I can say that when Olivia collapsed outside of Company in late 2008 is a sign that Natalia cared deeply for Olivia. I'm still conducting research to pick out where Natalia first started falling in love with Olivia. I have some ideas but don't want to say just yet until I watch more older episodes. Denisebella,
