Final Days Part 3

How could I have forgotten that Ron’s got jokes!  What a joke he played, having us think that Matthew died (for good) on Thanksgiving Day.  I’m still laughing at that one.  Of all of Ron’s jokes, that was one of the funniest jokes ever.



I might not sound grateful that there was a twist, but I am.  I am truly thankful that Matthew lives even though One Life To Live won’t. 


So, Monday’s show was one that delighted me.  It was all very soap operish, which is why I’ve always loved the genre.   After months of separation, John and Natalie finally were given the opportunity to talk things out.  Natalie seemed so grateful to have what was once a lie, now become what is the truth.  She lied to John about the paternity of their son Liam, but that turned out not to be a lie after all, but even Natalie realizes that all may not be right with the world and that it doesn’t necessarily mean that she and John will have a reunion.  John in typical John fashion suffers from constipation of his feelings, and he just can’t get out what he wants to say.  It doesn’t help when he is interrupted by a call from Tea who is worried because her brother has been missing for 24 hours. He bravely ignores the call by the Widow Delgado, but he cannot ignore the call from Blair who has the same fears about Tomas’s disappearance.


In the meantime, Todd’s guilt eats away at him and Viki wants to know what’s bothering him.  He shares with her that there is a snag in his plans to win Blair back, that snag being Tomas Delgado, which is also the source of his guilt since he made Tomas disappear.
Blair and Tea, the sister wives of Victor Lord Junior,  are worried about Tomas’s absence.  Blair is convinced that Tomas would not leave her. (Why?  Because the sex was that good?)   Really Ron does have jokes because just as Blair is day dreaming about it, Todd rings her bell, literally, not figuratively(If Only!)  He’s there to comfort her because he’s heard that Tomas has left her.


Over at Victor Lord Junior's Haus, a discovery is made in Tomas’s bedroom, smut-filled magazines and a nine milimeter, the same type of weapon used to kill Victor Lord Junior.
