OLTL Review

Llanview

What an emotional week! Having to see the Buchanan clan come together for the sake of another was very touching this week as Viki's heart condition worsened. A lot of us has mixed emotions with seeing Viki have her own week, and losing Ben. Out of all of Viki's husbands I do believe Ben was the one who loved and cared for her the most. Ben was always there, always happy, always helping his Blondie. So it was never a surprise to me that Ben gave his life to save the love of his life. The ultimate sacrifice, and a beautiful ending to such a special romance. Viki's reaction to Ben's death was extremely emotional, and unfortunately even though I was quite prepared for this I couldn't keep myself from shedding tears hear and there. The family was also devastated by this news, and of course the ongoing reality that their mother/sister/ex-wife/friend/daughter-in-law could not survive much longer without a heart. I loved the meeting that the family had to help decide for Viki, and just the overall somber but strong bond was truly amazing. There was one particular Buckhannon who was the most emotional, the most concerned, and the most devastated by her mother's state. And that was Jessica.

Performer of the week: Jessica

Jessica has always, and will probably remain the baby of the Buckhannon family. The edition of Natalie will probably never change her status as the favorite in the family, and the favorite of Viki. It was quite typical to see her express so much emotion on the behalf of her mother, and her scenes this week were powerful, and I think showed much more of what a child must feel like on the brink of losing a parent. I don't think anyone else could have gave the terrible news to Viki that Ben had died. I have expressed not being a big favorite of Jessica these days but this week she has once again went back to my list of good characters. All of Viki's children expressed heart felt grief over their mother, making this storyline more dramatic and interesting to watch.

Paul/Todd/Kelly/David

First of all, I am actually enjoying what is going on between these four. Paul's sudden death by the hands of David, Kelly's belief that she must have killed him, and Todd's aide to Kelly by disposing of his body was not only hilarious, but showed some potential between a couple that I think I mentioned only once before. But first, let me go into what I think about this whole mess. I LOVE IT! I think David's part in it is genius, and keeps us wanting and loving Tuc Watkins more and more everyday! I also like the closeness developing between Kelly and Todd, this is a couple that I would not mind seeing at all. Someone of you are going to disagree because most of you will never get over a Blair and Todd reunion. I love Todd/Blair and in my opinion maybe one day down the road they will find each other again, but for now I want Todd to explore his feelings a bit. It's quite obvious that there may be a hint of feelings for Kelly. The almost "kiss" on Monday was a must see moment! I was thrilled to see Todd look at someone else other than Blair on a romantic level. I am aching to see this develop, and hope it happens quick!

Until next time!
