Soap Opera's are about Families, Farwell OLTL!!!

Hey Guys,
I watched the final episode of OLTL last Friday. Wow! There were a lot of surprises. Starr and Cole were reunited and I Jumped Up and Cheered!!! I was so happy for the gang to be together again. Markko, Langston, Starr and Cole. It would have been soo Awesome if the Original Cole (Brandon Buddy) could have returned for the final episode.

My Favorite part of the Final week of One Life to Live was Viki talking about what soaps mean to the Fans of the Show. Here you can hear for yourself, the emotions and feeling the Fans of OLTL will be feeling now that the TV show is no longer on the air. "Soap Opera's are about Families."  

So what happened?! You maybe wondering, Soap's are all about Cliffhanger Endings and Never See that Coming Surprises. Well, As I mentioned, Starr and Hope left Lanview and went off to LA so Starr could pursue her singing career. She met up with Markko and Langston, Starr filled both of them in on what Really Happened to Cole. How he didn't really die and how he was reunited with his parents. Then at the end of their part of the Show, a knock on the door. A man asking for Starr Manning, informing her that her father sent a bodyguard for her living alone in LA. She declines immediately but once the man informs her it will not be him but......Yes! That's Right!!! Her new bodyguard was none other than Cole!!! They were reunited again and able to have their Happy Ending. Just what they deserved, I would have been fuming Mad if not but this Sole Fan is happy with this ending of their story. But is it really The End??? According to ABC promos and newspaper articles Kristen Alderson will be crossing over to the soap General Hospital along with John McBain, her mother Blair Cramer and Todd Manning??? I am happy and excited to see what Starr will be like in Port Charles, Will she be friends with Michael? Will she know Sonny? or maybe Dante? Who Knows? I can only imagine what it would be like if Todd met Sonny. I still giggle to myself when I remember the mini crossovers ABC company produced with varies characters of soaps' All My Children, One Life to Life and General Hospital. Here are some of my favorites, you should check them out. If you watch the soaps, and know their characters it is real funny. But Even if you're not familiar with the characters their personalities show through and make the mini - episode even funnier. "Aww Momenti" I'll put them all on here, just for your enjoyment!

What If - Behind the Scenes

Anyway, I was talking about the latest episode of OLTL. John McBain just rescued Thomas' from Todd's people. Todd Manning the REAL Todd Manning killed his own twin brother Victor Jr. because he doesn't like his life and he doesn't feel like Victor should be living his life decides to kill him and then repress his memory and tell himself he Did Not Kill his own brother, and frame it on someone else because Todd can never have consequences to his actions. He always gets away with his crimes and NEVER has to pay for them. He is the villain who always sweet talks his way out of punishment and sometimes the hero No One ever expects?! At least, the former Todd aka Victor Jr. was like that, I never knew this original Todd Manning? but what I have seen is NOT something I like. The Unconditional love Starr gushes to him and such......(eyes roll)  This new thing Todd blames the murder of his brother on his rival for Blair (the so called mother of his children) just to get him out of the way, so he can move in on Blair and sweep her off her feet and into his bed.. or couch or basically anywhere they can have sex because that's the kind of mother/woman Blair is. In this final episode, Blair finally gave in her "feelings" for Todd and they Yes! Can you believe it They had SEX?! Wow! Shocker! No the best part was when John McBain busted in and said; "Todd Manning you are under arrest for the murder of Victor Jr. aka your brother! Blair's face was priceless! After yet again another broken promise and another lie Todd fed Blair and she like a sucker believed him. Todd promised he would never do anything to hurt her. Even though he knew Blair's feeling for Thomas, he still Hurt her in the long run. (Geez, never saw that coming..?..)

The one thing I was quite happy about was the fact that Todd finally had to atone for his actions. Blair's face was priceless, I only wish I got to see Starr's and Jack's face when they find out Scarface was guilty of murder. Then it occurred to me later on, Todd would again weasel his way out of a crime if he would be appearing on General Hospital, BLAH! :p 

Then the Buchanan's get some happy news, which is what they deserve. The audience (yay!) get to know that Jessica is actually Clint's biological daughter. This to me never made any sense? Listen to this: Viki was pregnant with twins, one twin Natalie and another twin Jessica. It is NOT possible to have twin babies and have two different fathers. It doesn't make any sense so I never cared but apparently it was a big and happy surprise for the whole family. I am happy Jessica got some good news after all the heart break she had to endure through all these years. Oh yeah, for the record I have NEVER been a fan of Natalie but apparently she too had to have her own happy ending. Natalie and John McBain finally reunited and are in a relationship. Yahoo... I just hope I don't have to see her in Port Charles, but I guess it wouldn't be soo bad, I guess they will need someone to do something stupid and dumb to make us laugh. 

Another little wrap up to another story, I wish the writers would have given us more of is with Matthew and Destiny. I was happy when they finally got together and in a relationship, It was kinda of annoying when Destiny just shrugged it off as her comforting him because it made it sound all wrong. That's Not who Matthew is and that's Not who she is at all! However, Destiny and Matthew were going to have a baby. Destiny is all mentally prepared and ready to have her baby but Matthew still recovering from a head trauma still isn't ready to sign his life away. So those two were sort of on the outs. But when Push came to Shove DAVID of all people helped Matthew see he needs to be there for Destiny. So Matthew rushes to tell Destiny he is ready to be there for her. When he arrives, Destiny is already in the middle of labor pains and having their baby on the living sofa in the Buchanan's living room. Destiny gives birth to a beautiful baby boy who the couple decides to name Drew after Matthew's oldest brother who died a long time ago. I never knew Drew but apparently this news of Drew made Bo cry and if Bo Buchanan is happy they so am I! Both families were present for the birth and the end of their story was complete.  

That's the final episode of One Life to Live in a short and opinionated nutshell of Rachel Bergez. All this final episode we saw Allison Perkins who recently escaped from prison telling the conclusion of all the characters of OLTL. Allison was a major person who revealed secrets to the families in the town of Landview Pennsylvania, she was also a helper to the so called "Messager" Mitch Lawrence who terrorized the many people throughout the TV Show. However in this last episode, she acted like the narrator of the TV Show. She was telling this story to someone, but no one knew who? I thought maybe it was Mitch Lawrence and that somehow he survived? But I was Wrong! It was Victor Jr.?!?!!! He was alive? That means Todd didn't kill him? That means Todd will be released, that means.... Well I don't know what that means but Wow! What an ending, I honestly didn't see that one coming. At least that means that Tea' and Victor Jr. might be reunited and Tea's baby will not have to be father less. Because all this show was about was Families. All these different kinds of families living together, interacting with each other and bring up real issues, real families have to deal with today. 

I will miss this show, I will continue to watch General Hospital. I had already once followed GH when Dante entered the show, when he went undercover to bring down Sonny Corinthos, a mobster who ran Port Charles. A typical thug and low life but Not so, Sonny Corinthos turns out to be one of the most interesting characters I find, and his interactions with his kids, with his family and friends are interesting. Dante meets Lulu and their love blossoms and once I lost time for GH I left. I stopped following but recently when I found out Lulu and Dante got married I am following it again and will see how John McBain and Starr Manning find their way into Port Charles. I will be watching and waiting, but it will never replace the feeling of family like I had for my favorite show One Life to Life.
