To Tease or Torture- Has Valentini Tipped His Hand?

I'm going to give credit to a Todd and Blair fan on a certain board who knows who they are for this insight:

You have to be a kind of a masochist to be a Todd and Blair fan.

Ain't that the truth.

The heartbreak, the grief, the cruelty, the anger, the betrayal, the lies, and did I mention the heartbreak?  The tears and the begging and the misunderstanding and the manipulation and the disappearing and the vows of "I hate you" and "I don't love you" and enough already!!! It's been 18 years, for God's sake.  When is enough enough??? Valentini, you need to tell Nimnuts to stop. Like now. It's getting to be ri-goddman-diculous!!!

Enough with the angst. Enough with the teasing. Enough with the fear.  We're all grown ups now. How can it be that the show's been cancelled but Todd and Blair's  pain still continues?  There's teasing and there's torture. As this entire venture, or whatever you want to call it, heads into the twilight, it's time to end it. This is overkill. Let the pain end and move on!! 

Can we please get some relief here? There are more interesting stories to tell and, I'll be honest, none of them are on GH. If you want to keep OLTL fans, we better have something to watch that's good. I'm not seeing it. Watching Blair and Todd heartbreak for the 987th time better take me somewhere I want to go because Todd being nutty in PC ain't cutting  it.  It sucks!! 

I don't care about his friend, Carly, with the big ass and the caveman boyfriend. I'm not interested. She's whiny and annoying and a big mouth. And learn how to knock, you overbearing harpy!!  Bring back Viki or Moose but this chick is dull, dull, dull and she needs to have her jaw wired shut. Or at least dress her in Jill Abbot caftans. She's gone and Y&R might be having a fire sale soon.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes and any working knowledge of this genre that this is NOT the end of the Todd and Blair story. This is not part of the "slow build" to Codd because if it were, we'd get something else. We'd get Laura Wright's endless pimping. We're not.  In fact, I heard there was not even a peep out of her about it at her events this past weekend. People were asking for Codd spoilers and they got none.  Then one smart poster had to tell them that maybe it was because THERE ARE NONE!!

If that were coming, we'd be looking at a very different scenario.

We'd get Blair married off screen.  She wouldn't be back playing the doting Mrs. Manning, gleefully, BTW, at the Opening. She was so huggy, kissy and downright giddy, it was insane. 



Someone should inform her that engaged women don't let their smitten ex basically grope them.  He had his arms around her.  They had their hands interlocked- an old TNB standby.  She lovingly rested her head on his shoulder. As he snarked at Carly, she sweetly quieted him with "Todd" in her mildly Southern drawl. Being escorted by him to a show is bad enough. Her behavior was anything but that of a woman about to embark on a life with another man.

Let's not even start on the "dinner" scene.



WTH was that? Is that a rejection, Blair?  Is that "just an evening" or whatever she tried to make it?  Is that like when he almost kissed you on NYE and you said it "was just a moment" till he corrected  you, grabbed you, stuck his tongue down to your small intestine, and made you almost faint?



Is it like that kind of "evening"?  Is that how he's making "too much out of it"?


And why is all this happening at all? I see why she's there. It makes sense.  But is this more important than when Starr's on trial for attempted murder?  I guess Sam doesn't have the sniffles this time, huh? I know, they didn't want to pay KDP and FL at the same time, but we're talking about characters here, not realities of the set and the truth. This time, though, you show up without the barnacle that Nimnuts has attached to your ass.

Okay, now I have to digress here. I have to come clean and confess what I really don't like about Carlivati.  I, do, in fact kind of like Valentini as he's one hard core dude who seems dedicated to the show I like. So, I just get pissy with him. I rarely call him names and belittle him as, damnit, I kind of respect his old school asskicking ways. And, really, I'm afraid of him. Who wouldn't be?  I mean, I don't know what he'd do to me but I bet he could if he wanted to and it would be scary.  Big gay mafia in Chicago. They could find me.  Granted, I have a few allies in this particular wing of the syndicate, but they, too, would probably cower in the face of La Valentini. My dudes are tough yet not hard core like this guy!

Sorry, I digressed in my digression.

But I don't like Carlivati because I truly think he thinks that Tomas was a good character we should have been rooting for over Todd. Okay, Todd's a nutjob with anger management issues and a really bad sexual past.  I'll give you that. But Tomas is a nauseating, smarmy, self-righteous, pretentious, sick bastard. Really.  That story is so disgusting, I couldn't stomach it. I could see Blair trying to make something work with some dull guy, like Sam, but even KDP sounded off about it in the mags. It was ridiculous. I just remember Nimnuts saying there was still "hope" that Tomas would be found when Todd had him thankfully removed from my screen.  WHAT??? HOPE?? From who? You and the one crazed fan that inhabited DD?  It was at that moment that I knew the HW was completely out of touch with the audience.  I deemed him Nimnuts that very day.  And worse. But Nimnuts is funnier.

Now, back to the issue at hand.  Okay, So Blair shows up without that Canker Sore. That makes sense. Obviously Todd would go batshit crazy if he saw them together and then ruin Starr's night. That makes sense. But why stay at his hotel?  Why not inform him of your pending nuptials far in advance of this so he could freak and then move on to rage state NOT on Starr's night? Why look "gorgeous" for "Starr"?  Why would she be disappointed if her mother looked like crap?  Why was it important that you're there together for "Starr" as an afterthought?

Come on, Blair, we all speak Todd and Blair-bonics. We know that "Starr" was always code you two nutballs used for one another. See here as Blair says she won't marry Max if she could be with "Starr" and how the exchange continues:

Wow, a lot has changed in 11 years...........only not.  Well, the people surrounding them are more boring and it's always so fucking dark, I think I might have cataracts.  But, these two whacky kids are still the same.

This is so stupid.  I feel like reverting back to the '80's and being Jeff Spicoli and say "This is bogus"!!!



Get over it, people.  This is a bunch of crap!!!! She's not marrying Tomas because she loves him. She's not marrying Tomas at all,  really. She's not there JUST to see Starr sing.  She's not there to "let him down gently".  Give me a break, Blair. You're there to rub all over Todd just like he was there to rub all over you.  Bite me, Blair!!!!You want it and you know it.  And so do we.  I'm not sure Todd does yet, but I think I'll find out in the next two days.  And either way, everyone better watch out. He ain't gonna be happy......

I am sick of this bullshit.  I see the Jasam fans are angry and frustrated, justifiably so.  But, ya know what, you can all bite me, too!! Try 18 years of this and then get back to me.  Hell, there was even an 8 year period where you had to keep the faith that the character currently known as "Todd", at the time, was not Todd. Do you know how many people would talk to me about "Todd" in that time and I'd have to smile politely and say "That's not Todd.  That's an imposter".  They thought I was nuts. And I was right.

So, I'm right now. Move on!!! Enough's enough. I'm getting tired and impatient. GH SUCKS and if I'm forced to sit through that annoying crap for the characters I like, then you better reward me and, like, NOW!!! Before, I had other things to keep my attention. Now, not the case. Hell, unless it's Tracy and Todd and Tracy and Todd and a little  John/Sam makeout session, I'm bored out of my fucking mind!!!  I'm praying for a mass murder of the town or a natural disaster that Todd and Starr just happen to be in Llanview for at the time. Then let them stay.  This show sucks, for the 897,000th time.

I will not sit through pain and grief with no pay off and continue to be slowly bored to death with the drivel known as GH.  You've reached your limit, Big Guy, now it's time for payback.

Enough with the tease. If I don't get Llanview back in September, or at least some big parts of it, I'm out. There will be no Todd and anyone for me. I love the dude but he can't carry this loser show. Again, in case you forgot- It sucks.

Time is running out, Frank.  I'm serious. But, I'm not threatening you or anything. I'm not. Really. Don't hurt me.  You all know him. He'll cut a bitch!!....................  I think I need to go make some phone calls, just in case...........
