Quote:Greetings and Salutations!! I am a new boot to all of this but I hope that we can all be great friends. I just want say that at the moment OLTL is by far my favorite soap (although I have been watching for almost 30 years.) On that note, I want to say that one of my all time favorite characters is Cassie and I have a feeling that she will be the Cramer woman that is killed off and I will be sooo disappointed if that happens. What does everyone else think? I think it is either her or Adriana but makes more sense that it is her because I think I read Andrew delivers the news. I guess they didn't want to kill someone that has been around for a while or who has a lot of connections to people on screen. It is sad because she is Doreen's daughter opposed to the adopted ones (no less love, just saying).

It is sad because she is Doreen's daughter opposed to the adopted ones (no less love, just saying). Cassie has been a part of OLTL for 30 years. And she is connected to alot of characters on the show. she is Dorian's daughter, Viki and Clint's ex-daughter in law, cousin to those Cramer girls, Andrew and Bo's ex-wife, she was friends with Rachel, she worked at the Intruder for Todd. She could have come back to the show and still been a viable heroine. She is one of the great heroines in OLTL history. Now, she is about to become another red herring of that useless Mitch Lawrence after being a victim of his 25 years ago and almost being raped by him. That is so sad.

I agree with all that but she hasn't had a real connection on screen for a while. She would be less of a loss right now. I don't like it being her but think she isn't a major character at the moment.

Hello & welcome!! I too love Cassie & wish she was back full time.

Yeah, it may feel like less of a loss to alot of people, but I LOVE Cassie. She is probably my favorite character of all time on OLTL (well, it is a 3 way race between her, Tina, and Gabrielle) and I always held out hope that they would bring her back. I hated that they wrote her out in the first place. I loved her with Kevin, and I loved her back in the day with Rob Coronal. If it is her, hopefully they will use her death to give Robin Strasser some Emmy worthy scenes, and I hope that it will resonate throughout the canvas, because she may not be major anymore, but Cassie is an important part of OLTL history. And she touched many lives on that show. Almost everyone that has been on that show over 10 years should be impacted by her death.

Can someone please refresh my memory? When was Bo married to Cassie? Was it before or after she was married to Andrew? I feel like I have been watching this show almost forever, and I can't recall that marriage at all. Thanks...

Bo and Cassie became romantically involved in 1991 after Sarah (Bo's previous wife and sister of Viki's daughter Megan)was presumed dead in a plane crash after being kidnapped by Carlo Hesser. Dorian hated them being together, but it was Alex Olanov who tried to tear them apart. Of course Dorian encouraged Alex's scheming. After their wedding Alex revealed that Sarah was still alive which invalidated Bo and Cassie's marriage. All of this happened back in 1992. (which goes to show how long I have been watching OLTL)Cassie married Andrew afterwards. And that is when Marty tried to come between them but that's a whole different storyline

A big welcome to you, and thanks for the great, informative answer to my question! I must have been doing a lot of fast-forwarding in those days!

Thank you and you're welcome. And shame on you, those were the days when every storyline was good and one didn't need to ff because if you did, you might've miss something.

LOL, your right. Those were the "no ff necessary" days. Thanks for the memorable flashbacks.

That is so true. I wish todays writes wold sit back & watch the old shows from the 80's & 90's. They might learn something.

okaay!! If today's writers would sit down and look at the shows from the 80's and 90's, we would still have more than six shows on the air. How I long for the days of romance and adventure and strong complex characters.

I am so sick of Langston and her whorish ways. But I think I'm even more sick of Marco's dumb azz. He is too damn needy and he is constantly smothering the life out of Langston. I will be so glad with this relationship goes up in flames. Really sick of Langston. If she doesn't want to be with Marco, just tell him and move on. They are too young to be so serious.

Langston is starting to show serious skeezer behavior. I don't seem to see a connection to Ford in anyway other than she is hot for his body. I was going to ask where is the mental and emotional stimulation, but when you have a body like Ford's, I guess the only stimulation needed is in the libido. At least she was smart enough to think about protection, but something is telling me that even if Ford hadn't produced a condom out of his back pocket, she probably would have gone through with it anyway.

Yeah, I'm not getting the connection between these two at all. I mean, why is Ford so interested in getting on with a girl who is still in high school? Kind of gross if you ask me. I know she's in her Senior year, but she's still 17....Ford needs to go to jail. But honestly, I am tired of Marco and his needy nature. It's funny how when they first became a couple Langston was all about them having sex and Marco was more reserved about it. Now, Marco is crawling all over Langston and she keeps pushing him away. These two have never sparked that much of an interest for me. It was much more interesting when they had Langston's crazy cousin trying to come between the two of them. Now, it's just total yawnsville.

Yep, she was more believable than what is going on now with Ford. I would probably buy him going after Layla or even one of the Buchanan twins, but the writers seem bent on him going after Langston. He showed me he was sleaze after that hot hot kiss with Blair.

The writers have been trying to ligitimize Langston ever since she arrived on the show, but no storyline they try seems to work for me. They even tried to turn Langston and Marco into a knock-off of Starr and Cole, when Marco's mother & father were against the two of them being together, but much to their suprise, the audience didn't care, because Marco was 18 and going off to college and he really didn't need to stay under his parents roof anyway. Marco and Langston could disappear and I wouldn't care one bit. Now, if they want to have an interesting couple bring back Marcie & Michael.

i don't really care very much about them myself. I only started to care about them when the crazy cousin was on there. I am beginning to think Langston is one of those types of characters that need a foil to bring out layers to them and make them interesting. I know there are alot of people who will disagree with me, but that is how I feel about Nora. I don't really care to see her unless she is in a storyline with either Todd or Lindsey. Especially Lindsey, and even then I root for Lindsey. My favorite Lindsey line was after she got arrested and she asked Nora "What will do without me" and guess what. Nora hasn't been nearly as interesting to me since Lindsey has been in prison. I haven't cared about a teen storyline on any soap since the days of Jessica and Christian. I really want Tina to come back, any Tina except the last one that played Mindy on GL (too ditzy for my taste) and give her a killer storyline with either Cain or David. I wonder how the Mitch storyline would have played out had she been on the show to play out their history, since she is the reason Mitch showed up in Llanview in the first place.

I love the character of Nora, but you are right, it's not the same without Lindsey. Those two women had a chemistry that has gone unmatched with any other duo on daytime...in my opinion. I loved that line too, "What are you going to do without me." And you are right, she has done absolutely nothing....well, nothing that was that interesting. If TPTB over at OLTL have any sense, they will call Katherine Hickland up and beg her to reprise the role of Lindsey. The show is good, but it hasn't been the same without Lindsey. Just like I feel like killing off Stacy might have been a little premature, especially since she became more human towards the end. I've said it a thousand times....Stacy was the younger version of Lindsey. And we all could have went for years with her and Gigi going at it......just like we love to watch Nora & Lindsey go toe to toe.

Okay...they waited almost a year to get rid of Stacy and when they do, it turns out to be premature. She had started to grow on the audience. I liked that they had a young vixen on the show. Every show needs one. They haven't had a good one since Tina first came on the scene. Jen was close but after giving her fangs, she was reverted back to her former toothless self. Adriana almost fit the bill but her schemes were only affecting Rex and Gigi, whereas Tina's schemes affected the whole canvas. Stacy could have been that kind of character. I can see it now, after failing to land Rex, she sets her sights on a returned Joey so that she can be able to give her daughter the best that life has to offer, thus getting the whole Buchanan clan in a tizzy. And Viki rolling her eyes, trying not to judge, and then setting up a fantastic rivalry with Natalie, who is another one of those characters that needs a foil because she just isn't interesting without one. They could have been a younger version of Lindsey and Nora, except Stacy showed way more self-esteem than Lindsey could muster on a good day.

Yeah, but where Lindsey lacked in self esteem, she more than made up for with her deliciously evil schemes. She will always be my favorite vixen in daytime tv.

Now, it's just total yawnsville. I'm thinking that Ford is one of Mitch Lawrence's followers. The problems is that he is actually falling for Langston. I kind of picked that up when they were showing the Cramer women in possible danger; Adriana and Kelly and the whole stranger in Paris thing, Cassie at home with the tea; then they would flash to Langston and Ford in his office. That was gave me the idea of him being one of Mitch's followers. jmoAs for Langston, I really like her. Even though she hasn't really had any major storylines, she makes for a good filler. And she can kick some azz. I like her feistiness (sp) and her mouthiness

Well, everyone should know how happy I was to see that it was not Cassie who dies. I almost started crying, but I will admit, I felt for Kelly. On a different note, Langston has finally earned her Skank card. I hated that she cheated on Markko with someone she has no emotional connection with. That was purely sexual.

Yeah, I'm glad it wasn't Cassie too. And I totally agree with you, Langston gets the Skank Of The Year Award. There was absolutely no reason for her to jump in the sack with Ford...just pure skankiness. If Ford does work for Mitch, I'm not getting the angle. It's not like Langston's a virgin, and they used protection....I just think this is a story that they are trying to throw together for Langston and Marco...too bad I'm not interested.

While watching today's episode, and seeing how happy Ford was for nailing that skeezer Langston, I was trying to figure out, what is Ford trying to do? Then, after watching him with Markko, I said, who cares? It seems the writers don't know either and that they are making things up as they go. However, after saying that I was so over Mitch, I found myself caring again because of his scenes with Roxie. I'm intrigued and I want to know What is the deal with those two? I remember Roxie telling Kyle she had one more big secret she was keeping from Rex. I hope they don't drag it out for years like they did his paternity or I will stop caring again.

Oh my God!! PLEASE don't let Kelly and Todd hook up. People are forgetting that it is Todd's fault that Kelly's fiance Ian Armitage was killed because he was trying to frame Patrick Thornhart.

However, it does fall in line with history because Cassie used to work for Todd also as a reporter.
