I can understand how u feel & completely agree w/just about everything u said 110%. I was definitely a closeted Dimples fan but never again! I'll continue watching Otalia til the end but like you I'm jaded & feel there will be little or no progression. I have lost the love & deep addiction I had for Otalia, Leccia & Chappell are the ONLY reasons I continue to watch they are amazing! I can't wait for Venice and hope we get some great writing in this series! I have faith CC, Kimmy & Leccia won't let us down! Thanks for ur many months of Otalia post! I'll miss your opinion!

I have learned to NEVER trust a soap again. Pure and simple. I feel like I was manipulated by TPTB. They used gay outlets like The Advocate and After Ellen to hype their 'ground-breaking' storyline. They used the gay community...and they crapped all over us. I will never again watch a soap opera...and I can assure you that any project JLW or EW is tied too I will boycott. I cannot remember the last time I was so bitter and hurt by a show. I am ashamed of what the writers did to this wonderful story. Never again. I am done with Otalia.

They specifically set up the hospital pregnancy test in a way that could have easily explained an oopsie-ur-not-really-pregnant-sorry ms rivera type scene(blood sample mix up with hmm say Lizzie?) I think fraken-spawn is being used as a way to keep them from havin a love scene. Liv pushing Frank towards Nat was just like you said, recycled, like we lost all progress we had made since the love confession and the WoD. I was practically ripping my hair out in clumps with all the back-peddling and spinning of wheels on Fem-bot Natalias first day back, but yes Lord, i was happy to see them bk together on screen. there are many things that i wished had been differently written and/or left out. I dont enjoy the lack of physical intimacy/double standard either, but the chemistry between these two AMAZING actresses is why i choose to stay and watch. I must admit that i have thoroughly enjoyed watching Take-charge Nat win back Broken hearted Liv. I enjoy that it isnt a "quickie" forgive, although I do want Livs walls to crumble consistently as they have been doing:-) Im going to enjoy the Story that i started with and, grew to love, and that changed my understanding of what love really is. Im going to watch every minute of Jessica Leccia and Crystal Chappell bringing me to tears of joy with their amazing acting abilities. i will love every minute of the Guiding Light cast that has made me laugh, scream, cry, and smile over the last 6months. I will mourn Guiding light AND Otalia...they will be missed I agree with you on so many levels, and the disastrous franken-baby S/L made absolutely no sense to me AT ALL!

Welcome! *g* I'm also a Natalia fan and the writing for this character makes me want to tear my hair out! I am really looking forward to the JL edition! You are right, she is often overlooked and does not get the appreciation she deserves. “I knew beyond any doubt that I was closeted Team Dimples fan who’d finally come out of the closet.”

I can't blame you. It's been a hard road lately. I can only hope they surprise us and pull some great scenes out before the end, and leave us in a better place. (And not do any more damage!) They can never undo the mis-steps, but I want SOMEthing in return for my time and heart invested in this s/l, so will watch till the end. Perhaps with a stiff drink in hand. ;) Good luck with your future efforts! Thanks for the explanation. I can’t blame you. It’s been a hard road lately.
