ALMOST TIME!!!

Sunday, April 28, 2013

     Hello! Is everyone as excited as I am about our show returning?! Can y'all believe this? God knows I still can't but I'll take it.  Ok so here is how this blog is gonna go down this second time around.  Despite the fact I don't have a full time job anymore, I've been busy with my acting schedule. Yes, I've always wanted to be an actress so I took it up a year and a half ago.  It's going well and I love it. Chicago is a great place to get your feet wet. I know, *yawn*. Mary-Ella get to the point.  

     ANYWAY, my plan is to blog every TWO episodes. Also, I hope to respond to as many comments as I can. I'm just trying this. Now, who knows, it might be easier on me to blog daily since the show is only 30 minutes but I know that my answering comments will fall by the wayside. So this will just all be kind of experimental for the first few weeks. However, since tomorrow is such a BIG DAY I am going to at least blog for the first episode and second one and then the 3rd and 4th episodes will probably start the every two episode blogging. Everyone got it?

     Also a few things to discuss before we start our journey together...

     1.  Commenting--I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of your comments and I read every single one. I won't be able to respond to all of them. Please don't take it personally, but I honestly just don't have the time. One day I might respond to every single one and the next week nothing...so I'm sorry!  But, all of you are very intelligent, witty and just down right hilarious. I swear I want to go have cocktails with you all. Also (I'm only bringing this up because of things I have seen on Twitter and message boards, etc.), I am totally cool with some good heated debate or discussion within the comments. So if y'all want to discuss whatever or whomever amongst this blog that is fine BUT no name calling or nothing nasty etc. We can keep it fun without getting too mean. So, for example, if someone says something nasty about your favorite character then you probably shouldn't say "Oh you don't like ______?! Well, he is my fav character so I don't like you, you f*@king bitch!"  That's uncalled for and out of line.  I hate to sound like your 3rd grade teacher wearing a terrible Christmas sweater but no name calling at the Christmas party. Just eat your rice krispie treat (assuming you don't have a peanut allergy).  

     2.  Social Media--obviously if you want to follow me on twitter then please do so. There is a link for that at the top right of the page.  For Facebook, if you are a reader then you are more than welcome to friend me.  I have had several people do that and it's lovely. However, if you add me on Facebook and I don't respond then you need to let me know "hey, I read your blog." because I don't respond to all random friendship requests on FB. I keep it more private on Facebook than I do on Twitter.  You can find me under "Mary-Ella Green Aymami" on FB.  And obviously feel free to share this blog with whomever if you like. I don't do advertisements etc. since I just do this for fun. 

     3.  Email--You can also email me with questions, comments, or complaints, etc.  If I can improve the blog for everyone and you have a suggestion then just let me know.  The email address for the blog is:  thellanviewledger@gmail.com

 

     OKAY...I think that is it. I pray to the lord above I still remember how to blog. I'm really not sure if I know how...for real. How disappointing would that be? Feel free to bash me to hell and back if that's the case. :)

I'll see y'all at some point tomorrow, friends! More then.
xxoo,
ME
(I THINK I'm dropping mija...we shall see)

OMG! WE ARE ALL TOGETHER AGAIN!

We have been sitting in this spot since January 2012 just waiting on the news. That's right, we have been here for a whole year. It's about damn time.

Oh y'all if someone would have said "Mary-Ella, you will be resurrecting the Llanview Ledger in 2013" then I would have said that he or she was bat shit crazy!!! Can y'all believe it?!  I can't. This better not be a joke or my head will spin like Linda Blair!  

Anyway, it's been a fun year despite the fact I have missed OLTL. I quit my job, seriously took up acting (and it's going well and I LOVE it) and life is pretty great. Anyway, when I heard that all this Prospect Park thing was serious I was approached by some to start up the blog again. I didn't know if I could or would BUT I heard the show was only 4 days a week and 30 minutes each (and now HBS finally signed)...tempting. It should only take me 30 minutes (or less) to watch show then 30 to blog. Yes, I don't have a structured job anymore BUT my life is more hectic actually...acting classes, auditions, voice coach lessons (gotta ditch the southern accent), traveling, friends, oh and this guy that I'm legally married to. I mean...I'll just cut something back that I do 30 minutes each day to make time for this. Worth it...right?

That being said...I'M DOING THIS DAMN BLOG AGAIN! I don't know if it will be each day or a couple of times a week etc. but I want to make this work. I will have to decide when I can be most consistent etc. I'll figure out those details within the next couple of months. I feel I have a strong following now and I would love for us to all have a good time on here again. It's crazy how many of my readers I have actually MET! The world we live in...crazy!

So I think I might switch websites. I'm not the biggest fan of this blogger site I must admit.  I plan to keep the name or some variation. Don't worry...I will make sure to let everyone know the new name etc. I also have lots of generous and thoughtful people willing to help spread the word about the blog. So let's just do this damn thing shall we?!

I can't sign off without saying something sassy.  So...did y'all SEE the "audition script" for Destiny and Matthew?! Now...I know everyone is in a tizzy BUT this is an audition script so that does not mean what is in this script will play out on screen. I mean...let's all get serious here. Do y'all REALLY think Bo and Nora would just let Matthew be a deadbeat dad and let Destiny start turning tricks (EWWWWW!!!! And don't get me started. You know she is wearing the purple pleather jacket  as she roams the streets or meets a "client".) to support the baby. GIVE ME A F@*KING BREAK! They are the Buchanans...the child would never want for anything. AND...if Nora can talk Destiny into keeping a child then they can monitor the living tot's whereabouts. Ummm and hello? A trust fund. Let's just all pray that audition script was exactly what it says...audition script.

More to come much later but just wanted to say "hi" and "yay" since this was an exciting day! Here's to lots of soapy goodness in 2013!

xoxo,

Your long lost friend, Mija

Everything Has To Come To An End Sometime, Right?

Nora: "I can't believe Mary-Ella is ending her blog. This is so upsetting."

Omigod I am sad, sad, sad as I write this. And, I am also very, very torn about it. However, I know it is the right decision. I am ending the blog. :( I have been doing this blog for a year or so now. Some of you have been with me from the very beginning and some have joined me only recently. It has been an absolute pleasure blogging for all of you...truly. I have become friends with some of you and some of you have become lifelong friends! This blog has been a blessing.

However, I have been thinking about ending it the past few weeks. Between work, commitments after work, social events and obligations...plus traveling...being a newlywed, etc. I just don't have the time to blog to my best ability anymore. This upcoming week alone is jam-packed already. It would be unfair to all of you for me to just half ass blog just to say I blogged. I truly just don't have the time anymore. Plus, I would also just like to enjoy the show for what it is with what little time we have left. :(

I hope all of you understand. I really am sorry. My friend said that it may actually be better if I ended the blog now instead of when the show ends since that would be two things ending at once for a lot of you! Some of you talk to me on twitter or email and others are great lifelong friends that I chat with on the phone or visit. But, please if you want to discuss the show or ask questions...y'all know where to find me! I can always respond via email, twitter or facebook. I still want to discuss the show! I just can't do a full blog and respond to comments AND have a life...too much. But I don't want to stop talking to some of you who always post on here...that would be so sad.

So...it has been an absolute pleasure everyone. Thank you for all of your comments and feedback and HILARIOUS commentary! Some of y'all are soooo witty! And all of y'all are so encouraging (except for an occasional complaint or two I have received about cursing...ha!) and upbeat. But, above all that I consider y'all my friends and I thank you very much for taking the time to read this little blog about OLTL. It has been a lovely year with all of you.

Don't be stangers. I'd hate it. I am actually shedding a tear now! Good grief! I'm so sad for me and all of you. :(

Love y'all and most definitely, definitely meaning it!!!

Your friend,

Mary-Ella

Too Bad You Fired The Only Cop In The Room, Huh?

Bo: "It's okay guys. Nora and I are going to St. Blaizes for a few weeks and by the time we get back the mayor will want me back. I'll see you soon."

Morning!!!!! How are y'all on this Turkey Day Eve?! If any of you are traveling, then I wish you safe travels today. Ok let me go on and blog. Ross is taking me to work this morning so I have a little extra time but I slept late. ;)

Tuesday, November 22nd--No One is Blogging Since Everyone Is Depressed Bo Lost His Job. Everyone in Llanview Is Running A Muck

Dammit Blair still has on the sweater. I need it off.

Wait...I'm kinda confused. So Todd is trying to blame Tomas for all this to get him out of town (mainly so Todd can be with Blair)...ok. Tomas has to know that Todd is the one that really killed Victor. However, I'm now wondering if Todd REALLY did kill Victor. I mean...I would really prefer it if he wasn't the killer but...c'est la vie. I'm just gonna see where this all goes because I haven't read spoilers on it and I am just not sure. Hmmm.

LOL! I love the cheese fry being used as a mustache for Kathleen. Hilar. Ok I know I may be in the minority here but I love the mayor. Hell no...she is NO Dorian...that's for damn sure. No one can replace Dorian. But, I liked WM on Guiding Light and she plays the snide, bitchy role very well and I think she has done well with her role here on the show. So I think she is just doing a good job...lemme put it that way. Ooooh Kathleeen is jealous! It is patently obvious. BN are adorbs today...ah!

Again, who in their right mind goes to Rio to get plastic surgery?!

Dammit to hell. I'm fine with Dan-YELLA but NQS being on the show. I mean...this is just wrong. WRONG!

I mean I flippin' blinked and that Tea and Blair scene was long over. Good God that was quick!

Wow...now Tomas has a gun. Could there be a shootout at Warehouse 22?! I feel like I'm watching an old western.

Dear God...I hate this porn shit...or jail bait shit whatever you want to call it. Skanky Starr...I do like that. It has a ring to it. Is this story for real? NOOOO!!!!! They did NOT just split the screen four ways to say "Rick Powers!" Are you kidding me?! I quit...

I mean....the thought of ALL these people from Llanview being in Rio is ABSURD. ABSURD. Oh and Aubs should just knock that bitchy receptionist out cold. I must say I love that Aubs is going right along with the plan and saying she wants and upgrade. She is quite the team player. ;)

OMG this mayor is bitter! I love how Bo said the mayor had a point (about PDA) and then he kisses her. Bo is so adorable with all of this smirking. Wait...Kathleeen has fired Bo like 40 times. She is so wishy washy. However, it will be permanent this time.

These Blair and Tea scenes are too short. I can't even get a damn sentence down.

Y'all I am so confused with Todd and Tomas. And...I'm actually enjoying these scenes today. LOL! Yes! And these scenes just got a lot better now that Baker entered...laugh factor...check.

hahahaha! Did Alex just call Cutter "hot butter?" I love it.

Yeah Aubs and Rex are way better than Rex and Gigi. LOL...Alex is like a damn mummy in all that gauze!

Kathleen is such a snide little bitch! Loves it. What I love more is that Bo is smiling the whole time. These scenes are cracking me up. There should be more investigating going on and less goosing...haha! I love that Kathleen asked if B/N were investigating the "case of a missing heart attack!" I'm like peeing on myself over here. OMG....Bo just ate the damn cheese fry that was on the paper! I.LOVE.HIM. LOVE HIM. This is like old school 1990's BN today...fabulous.

UGH....I hate that damn fence behind Baker. It is on every warehouse scene.

Ok let's let these Blair and Tea scenes be longer than two seconds. Oh I love Tea's necklace by the way. Tea is no fool. Bitch knows Blair still loves Todd. I wonder how she is gonna react when Blair heads back to Todd.

LOL...Baker is capable of putting a bullet in anyone's back at any time. That's right y'all...Baker is THAT good! Thanks for reminding us Tomas! WHAT?! Baker just pistol whipped Tomas?! What in the hell is going on?

The only thing I have to say about Rick Powers is that I'm sorry Ross isn't here to see this. Y'all know he has this undying love for him. Ross' fav characters on this show are ridic. I'll have to list them one day. Let's just say Rick and Hannah are at the top...God help me.

I love that Tea is listing all the positive things about Blair and says "you look great in leggings." FABULOUS! Blair is lying through her damn teeth about loving Tomas and she infuriates me so damn much because all her decisions with men are so f*@king terrible! It is hard for me to feel sorry for people like this! Tea looks gorg by the way.

ha! Baker is such comedic relief. I just love him. I really do. Not all the time...but every now and then he is great. Snap....so Tomas is kind of a badass this episode! Yes?! I mean...he has more ammo to use against Todd and I think Todd was genuinely surprised. This may be where Tomas FINALLY shows us all his CIA tactics.

Bo is so adorable I can't deal with it. Kathleen's quotes today are PHENOMENAL! "Your lead detective walked off the job. Your other stellar officer assaulted a butler and kidnapped an infant but we're not gonna see a conviction in that will we?" LOL. Awe...Bo defending Nora...be still my heart. hahaha! Couldn't secure a guilty verdict against Osama Bin Laden! Hilar! Damn...I wished Nora would have said "vengeful, uptight, lonely bitch" instead of "woman." Snap! They just slapped each other! I.LOVE.THIS.TODAY. Nora should have clocked her back like Phylicia did her. I love how Bo smirked...adorbs.

hahaha! I'm cracking up this episode. Cutter telling Aubs she is getting the girls the lift they always needed. I love it. Let's all remember that Dr. Fascinella's office is really a hotel room in Seattle. Just in case y'all forgot. HAHA!!! I love how they tried to make Alex's hair look like Gigi's! I think I just peed on myself! I think Rex is kinda confused at the moment. Alex is right though...if anyone should be going after the Buchanan money it should be her. ;) I mean...I love that they swooped her hair to the side. LOVES it!

What?! Kathleen just said she can't believe Nora hit her?! WTF? Yes I just peed when Kathleen said she should have Nora arrested and her response was "Well it's too bad you fired the only cop in the room huh?" I mean this shit is hysterical. Bo isn't even mad! I mean he is smiling. Jesus....I mean I cannot handle how adorable these two are today! High fives, kissing and then Bo saying how much he loves her...this is like too much for me to mentally absorb in one morning.

Tea...just flat out tell Blair that she is totally full of shit. LOL...strained metaphor! Nice Tea. What?! Blair, you REALLY mean to tell me that you took your time and really got to know Tomas before you started a relationship with him. BULLSHIT. God, you are so stupid sometimes! I just want to shake your little ass!

I am literally LOL'ing when Baker talks. I can't help it. These scenes are enjoyable to the point that I am watching and not really blogging...

"My music doesn't need drama. It can sell on it's own, Rick." LOL...best f*@king joke I have ever heard. Thanks, Starr.

I mean I love Alex...always have, always will. Damn...I don't even watch "AMC" but I did hear about the two Erika Canes thing. I still don't buy for a minute that Dr. Fascinella is any good. Speaking of...are they ever going to show him?

Oh damn....TEAR! Bo taking down his real Vietnam pics...can't handle it. "I guess it all comes to an end sooner or later." Y'all I could cry. THIS SHOW REALLY IS ENDING! God bless. I mean...between Bo saying that he never wants to be alone and Nora saying she will walk with him anywhere...well just kill me. My heart can't take this adorableness any longer. A salute?!?! OLTL, are you trying to kill me this morning?! I just had a tear slide down my cheek!

This Rick shit is ridic. With all those weapons they are holding it is like a damn game of "Clue."

So that's it? Alex just gave Cutter her info and that's it?! I don't buy it.

OMG...Bo's gun and badge just hanging there. So sad. Now Drew?! Very nice they are showing that picture. Sadness. Le tear.

I HATE THAT OTTOMAN!!!! Remove it Tea! Now! Seriously if Blair laid across that ottoman right now it would be even more of a disaster...all that black and white!!!

Hmmm...listen to Tomas, Todd! Listen. He is preaching the truth!!!

Ah...great episode. I'm officially running late! I'm gonna respond to my other comments today...PROMISE! I might be able to do it after I get dressed quickly.

Love y'all...mean it!

Gobble gobble,

ME

After I Finish Sobbing, I'll Take a Zoloft...Or Whatever You Got

Brody: "I know. You're right, Liam. I can't believe I paid off Nadine's house note either. That was a poor decision...just look at her place. What was I thinking?"

Hi! Hello! Good evening! Happy Monday! How are y'all? Things are quite busy around here. To be honest, I don't have time to watch Friday's episode (doing a summary from online...plus, I heard Friday kinda sucked?) let alone blog about it. Sooooo I am picking up with today's episode. Ok lemme blog quickly before I cook dinner...

Monday, November 21st--Only One Available to Blog Is LDV. Everyone Else Is Sobbing Over Brody.

It's official...I can't deal with Liam's adorableness anymore. He is just too damn cute. I love that he constantly has a binky in his mouth. Oh I love John and his matter-of-fact I take care of business don't mess with me attitude. Fabulous.

Oh and how did I not mention this on Thursday or whatever day it was last week--I LOVE that Dr. Fascinella's office is the Seattle hotel room...the Las Vegas hotel room...you get the drift.

You can choke Alex, Cutter, but if you do then retrieve her coat. K, thanks.

I don't like blair's outfit. The white neck and cuffs remind me of...I dunno...I don't like it. Oh damn...Starr had to enter the room.

I'd love to know how much leather is in Tomas' closet. I'm assuming he has a huge closet wherever he is staying. I'd also love to know when Todd went shopping. No one will tell me.

Hmmm what set is being used for Nadine's house? Is it just a new one? OMG...Liam is a little actor already! He genuinely looks terrified as Brody points that gun at John and Natalie. Could this child be any more perf? I think not.

Yeah...I'm so over Rex trying to find Gigi. Just hook up with Aubs. I'm okay with it.

Is it sad I laughed when they flashed to Cutter choking Alex?!

LOL! Dan-YELLA "Dad just died and you've been seeing someone!" hahaha!

Yeah...if I were Starr I'd be pissed with Blair, too. I mean...Blair's decision making when it comes to testosterone is just piss poor and there is nothing else to add. Yeah that's pretty much it.

I mean I know Tomas made a promise to Tea yada yada yada but Todd is right...Tomas just wants Blair.

I can't deal with Blair saying that it is none of Todd's business etc. Technically that is true but I'm biased and think Todd should know about Blair's decision. ;)

Tea/Dan-YELLA...best mother daughter combo ever.

I keep thinking of the Seattle and Vegas hotel rooms and it is hard for me to concentrate on the Rex/Aubs dialogue.

I need someone to put a necklace on with Gigi's outfit. Thank God...Alex lives.

Finally...back to the good stuff. I'm really only interested in the Jolie/Brody/Liam stuff today. Besides this (and Alex) the show is boring today. Woof. UGH...these scenes are too f*@king short!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't win. This is DEF a typical Monday.

Thank God...back to the baby fiasco. Wow...Brody is telling the truth...every damn bit of it. Aaaand the scene is over. Kill me.

UGH...Blair is driving me nuts this episode. "Sweetheart he [Tomas] was just doing his job." I mean...how can she be with Tomas when Tomas is the reason Todd left...I.Just.Don't.Get.It. So infuriating!!! God, I don't even really care about Blair that much as a character and THIS is driving me nuts! That's how bad it is...

Tea can cry like nobody's business. I'll give her that.

So...supposedly Cutter is gonna be...wait for it...Asa's kid and Kim is gonna be Carlo's. God help us all.

If we really all stop and think about this...we should all be insulted by this plastic surgery Gigi/Stacy storyline. Y'all realize that huh?

I love that Alex is worried about her make-up. At least she hasn't changed. The sign to Dr. Fascinella's office is UBER shitty and if that is ANY sign of his plastic surgery skills then everyone should flippin' run. I mean...who goes to Rio for plastic surgery. FAIL.

Please let these baby Liam scenes be longer than two seconds. God Bless America. I HATE how Brody's life is one ball of sadness. Yes, he lied and that was awful (but Natty did too) and poor thing just wants a family. That is all he has ever wanted...poor baby. OMG...I think I might cry. I really might. Now Brody is asking about Nigel and saying he is the nicest guy in the world...can't handle it y'all!!!!

I pray to God I have at least one child that is as well behaved as Liam. Praying.

NO! Alex you would NOT be Mrs. Bo Buchanan...hush it. Hello? By the way, Bo still never confessed to making out with Alex. Woof.

I despise Blair's sweater! Dammit! Remove it! Oh Blair...poor decision making...poor decision making. Wardrobe and men wise.

Y'all Dan-YELLA and Tea are too fabulous together. I can't deal.

I love that Tomas keeps asking Todd if he is gonna shoot him. LOL. He has said it like 5 times!

I'm sorry but Brody is still a good guy (in my biased blue eyes...sorry). No John! You didn't make a mess of your life when you boozed! You did have those couple of months with Kelly and I LURVED it!!! Majority opinions be damned! I mean...how nice are John and Natalie being to Brody?! You can tell that they are just so sad this is all a big mess. Le tear.

UGH. Blair. You are driving me CRAY-ZAY!!! LOL..."You didn't give up James when Hope didn't like him." Did I really just listen to Blair say that shit? REALLY?!

Jesus...I'm so tired of Todd and Tomas at what...warehouse 22? Is that what that shithole of a place is called? Nice...Todd is telling Tomas that Tomas killed Victor...touche

Alex.Is.So.Vain. Please don't change, Alex. Never. I love it. Makes me feel better about myself.

Aaaaand I could cry. Yes, Brody is losing his mind but DAMMIT...this man has lost 3 flippin' kids!!! THREE CHILDREN! I mean...this is sadness overload. SADNESS OVERLOAD. OMG OMG OMG...I AM CRYING!!!! I really feel HORRIBLE for Brody. I do!!!!!!!!

I will now watch something funny to perk me up. That was uber depressing.

Lordy. Ok...y'all have a great night. I can respond to comments from here on out. Yay! I will make time!

Love y'all on this cold (and now sad) Monday!

Let's Hook Up Tonight

Firstly, my apologies. I had every intention of blogging this morning but it didn't work out. We have had company in town all weekend so things have been hectic. Anyway, I PROMISE I'm blogging this evening. I don't know if I am just gonna do Monday or try and do Friday as well. Regardless, I will be able to blog for all the episodes through Wednesday!

I'm sorry! I mean...on the bright side, none of y'all would want to read this blog if all I did was watch this show constantly and blog about every little thing and be some crazy fan so...that's a good thing right? ;) I'm reaching for anything at this point...I'm sorry!

See y'all this evening!
