A Deal's A Deal!

Wednesday, July 23 2008
Dorian expects David to hold up his end of the bargain, John confronts Marcie about Starr's baby, and Markko gives Cole a warning about Todd...


Nora visits Clint in his office at the mansion and tries to convince him to spend a relaxing evening with her. However, Clint talks about the B.E. takeover, leading Nora to ask, "Are you going to tell David he's a Buchanan?" Though Clint would rather wait for Bo to handle David, he confides in Nora that he's ready to make David an offer! When Clint admits he's going to offer David a big 'capital', he explains that he plans to get it from Dorian!



Dorian and David follow Viki to the hospital. Once they arrive, before Viki is taken away, David tells her to hold on! After Dorian tells Michael about the accident, David asks Dorian, "Is Viki going to be all right now?" Once alone, though Dorian reminds David that he better live up to his end of the bargain, and divorce Addie, David accuses Dorian of saving Viki for another reason - because she cared! Just as Michael comes out and informs them that Viki is going to be fine, a divorce lawyer appears at Dorian's summons! With the annulment papers before him, Dorian demands that David sign them! And he does! Before David leaves, Dorian warns him to explain the annulment to Addie without implicating her! Suddenly, David gets a call from Clint asking him to meet him - but to keep his mouth shut, promising their visit will be worth his while!



In Viki's room, Michael explains her injuries, and how she was clinically dead for a while, to which Viki says, "Ben… Ben saved my life." Michael chalks her statement up to the fact that Viki has Ben's heart in her then informs Viki that she can go home tomorrow.



After Michael leaves, David stops in to visit Viki and says, "You came back because of me!" Telling Viki how he came about the scene of the accident, David admits that Dorian saved her then says, "Don't scare me like that again. You have no idea how much you mean to me." Once David is gone, Viki can't believe that Dorian saved her life. Viki then calls to Michael and asks to see Dorian!



David arrives at the Buchanan mansion, and Clint asks him, "How would you like to get the ten million dollars that you tried to extort from me?" After David asks what he'd have to do, Clint replies, "Divorce Addie."



When Marcie arrives at John's apartment with some of Michael's clothes, her and John have a heart to heart about how Marcie wants her husband back - and how she wants to raise Starr's baby at the same time. Though John reminds Marcie that Michael would be on board if the baby wasn't connected to Todd, Marcie knows it'll be tough to fight Todd alone but she believe the idea of becoming a father again will become more real to Michael - and she can't pass up this chance to be a mother again! Marcie then asks John to think about how he'd feel if there was a chance he could have a kid with Marty! Reminding Marcie that the situation isn't about him, John says, "You almost killed Michael when you ran away with Tommy. He never wants to see you hurt like that again." Marcie wonder if they can't be happy about a new baby together then, "Maybe Mike is better off without me."



Over a glass of wine, in Marty's bedroom, Todd confides in Marty that his young daughter is pregnant by this 'moron kid' - and that she plans to give the baby to John McBain's brother! Playing on Marty's emotions, Todd acts like a father scorned and listens on as Marty gives him advice. "Welcome back, shrink," Todd mumbles, to which Marty is shocked to find out about her profession and demands to know what else Todd has kept from her! When Marty assumes that Todd didn't tell her how she was in college, because she was a geek, Todd smiles and says, "Not exactly." Trying to change the subject, Todd reminds Marty that it's time for her physical therapy. As he's helping with her leg exercises, Marty badgers him about their college days, to which Todd flashes back to the rape! Though Todd admits they slept together, he laughs saying, "You actually told me I was bad in bed." Laughing with him, Marty apologizes then seriously says, "Todd, if I hurt you, even if it was years ago, I'm truly sorry." Wondering how she went from a fun, party girl to becoming a doctor, Marty asks Todd if something happened to make her change so much! Todd then takes a deep breath and says, "You were raped."



At home, Starr tells Langston that Marcie has decided to adopt her baby - but that Cole and her dad plan to fight her on it. Not wanting to talk about the baby any longer, Starr asks how Markko is doing, to which Langston shows her the video where she tried to seduce David! After a few laughs, Langston looks at Starr's stomach, noting she's starting to show, which leads Starr to wonder if her baby will hate her for giving him up. As Starr wonders if she'll ever get the chance to tell her baby why she had to give him up, Langston picks up the video camera and suggests Starr tell the baby now.



Sitting in front of the camera, Starr talks to her baby, who would be sixteen when allowed to watch the tape, and tells her child, "I'm Starr, and I'm your birth mother."



Over a talk at the diner, Cole tells Markko how torn he feels. "If I fight Starr for the baby," Cole says. "I could end up losing her forever." Although Cole doesn't want to lose the baby, he doesn't want Todd to be involved either. Cole brings up missing his mom, to which Markko reminds him how much Marty hated Todd!


Next on One Life to Live:

Marty wants answers from Todd about her past!

Dorian's conscience weighs heavily on her mind.

I swear, if Todd tells Marty that it was John who raped her, I will be done with this show (at least until it's time for Todd to get his comeuppence!!). That would just be too much. I mean really, he can't expect to keep her locked up forever. So when she eventually gets out and everyone tells her the opposite of what Todd told her the shrink will need a shrink!

What a laugh - just a few weeks agao, Dorian broke her promise to give David money...he hit that nail on the head, she did save Vicki for her own selfish reasons.
Marty/Todd - they really must get that storyline moving a bit faster, and the nurse should have picked up some of the local gossip by now regarding Todd maybe she needs to stop by the diner(Gigi is getting good at gossip LOL). Blair should be a bit more curious about Todd's secret woman, how about another Delphina vistit; she gave up way too easily. I hope Todd slips up and says Cole's full name and Marty gets a spark of memory.If Cole & Marty are reunited by the time the baby is born, Starr would have a chance of getting him to sign the adoption papers. Cole actually has the power of the signature - that would certainly tick-off Todd after keeping Marty hidden.

Ok - once again - I cannot stand how the writers are making John & Marty out to be this supercouple. I absolutely cannot stand that Marcie made the reference of having kids with Marty as though she is the love of John's life. Thank God I record this show so I can FF through all of that little rant today. I am so on the fence with this show - the 40-year thing was interesting and then I am faced with this nonsense. PLEASE!

See, I do not get the super-couple vibe about John and Marty. I get the vibe that they cared for each other and were starting a serious relationship when she "died". People bring things up to John about Marty because she was the last woman he was involved with when she died.
I thought John and Marty made a great couple and think that John and nuoldMarty will too!
JMHO

Will David know he is a Buchancan before he leave again???? , I surely hope so , this has gone on long enough
for me. These 2 and 3 year story lines are getting very old.

Posted by jumps at Wednesday, July 23 2008 12:58 PM

I HATE Todd! Enough said!

Posted by jumps at Wednesday, July 23 2008 12:59 PM

Spiderlegs425......blame Asa for this sl dragging on. If he had only told the truth before he died, we would not be in this situation.

Of course I respect all opinions - and I know my user name is a dead give away - but John and the old Marty were BORING and the nuold Marty is great but I do not see them together. She seems too old for him... I guess because she was cast with Thornston Kaye (her partner in real life), and they make such a great fit. TK always reminded me of someone who could play John's big brother, so the chemistry seems off to me. I know... i know... I am just missing my John and Natalie. I'll get over it someday...

Posted by TGF DVRs at Wednesday, July 23 2008 01:06 PM

Hey -joliefan - tell me how funny was watching Natalie in a black wig? it was 2, 2, 2 funny. I agree John needs to be back involved with Natalie and he needs to spot the Tessica problem with Vickie's accident brakeline/fluid story. Earlier there was some pushing and shoving between Jared & John, that S/L would be interesting.

Im so happy that Vika is okay. The show wouldna never been the same without her.Anyway I hope that Todd dont be selfish and lie to Marty, Can anyone tell me, What happen to her? Is Cole going to know he mother alive? I hope that Starr keep her baby.
