This is pretty much "must see" TV for me every day now. It used to be Grey's Anatomy and The L Word, but now it's Otalia. Beautiful writing, poignant protrayals by Crystal and Jessica. Thumbs up! Thanks Destini for the videos, the boards and the podcast. You've recruited a new GL/Otalia fan.
they wasted yvonna in her role. she could have been a very close friend to nat . nat didnt have any to confide in!! Liv had doris and even her ex to chat with! Besides, a lawyer could hire Nat. Pull strings for job @tv station with vanessa.The writers forgot the characters who could have helped each other. im still mad that nat wasnt enrolled in an speedy executive mba program once she hit mangement at the hotel?? O could pay half thru the tax break
thanks for the fast upload! I love the pace the story is going, it makes the pay off that much sweeter. I choose to be optimistic about Otalia. Nat definately feels something for Liv because if not she would have confided in Liv that she slept with Frank. Even it is subconscious Nat knows that Olivia has feelings for her, otherwise she would go to her for advice. And Nat's prayers yesterday so gave me hope that she feels the same way. I think Liv is telling people for practice for Natalia.
don't apolgize! CC has amazing eyes...i think they are more greenish and JL has brown...but dang...*swoonage* these women...and Otalia's chemistry...when they finally get together, they are gonna set the farmhouse on FIRE!!!
I agree with your assessment of the situation 100%. I love them together (without labels) and hope that they remain a family. I love the pace of this storyline. They ARE simply 2 people falling in love and it I think it will destroy what they have if they are forced to "define/label" it.
In this week's issue of Soap Opera Digest, Yvonna Kopacz Wright who plays Mel said she'd love to play Olivia for a day. I guess after working with Crystal Chappell in this scene and saw how professional she was, I certainly don't blame her.
GAbound11 have the quote exactly, she does call her "Liv". Wow, Natalia looks extremely hurt after Olivia said she can't talk now. They are breaking my heart.
That woman is Mel Boudreau Bauer whose brother Remy used to date Olivia's daughter Ava who for a brief time was pregnant with Remy's son named Max. If the child had lived, it would have been Mel's Nephew and Olivia's Grandchild which would have meant that the Spencers and Boudreaus would have been Family.
Mel is Remy's Sister and former Wife of Dr. Rick Bauer. She's both a Doctor and a Lawyer and her father Clayton lost his Life Savings due to a Ponzi Scheme by James Spaulding but Phillip arranged for Clayton and the other Victims to get their Money Back. Hope this helps.
Sweeps are the time of the year in which they do Storylines that they hope will bring in more fans. I hope that they do something very special for these two, they are playing the you know what out of this storyline. Wait until Tuesday.
Oh here's a fun quirky discovery. Olivia likes to Drink Martinis and that was the "Favorite" Drink of Carol Aird in "Carol" as well as Dickie Greenleaf in The Talented Mr. Ripley both Written by The Late Patricia Highsmith although The was originally known as The Price Of Salt.
I still think they could shoot it in such a way as for them to get together before then...because if you think about it, the episodes are filmed at least a few weeks to a month in advance. so if JL has her baby in June...comes back by mid to late june...we wouldn't see those scenes of her post birth until august. i don't think i can wait THAT LONG!
OMG!!! those 2 r killing me, i have never been so, i dont even know what i am feeling, all i want is 4 them 2 put me out of my misery, but omg this is like of the best sl i have ever seen on a soap its torchering, but i still cant get enough of it, its almost like a drug 2 me now.
If I were Mel I would have said to Olivia: "Girl, I know what you mean when people stare and gossip, when they found out Rick was responsible for Ross Marler's Death, they looked at me like I was crazy like he was."
Method acting is when the actor 'becomes' the character. Usually they research the role by 'being' the person full time in the run up to the part. I think what Otaliarocks means is that CC would research lesbianism and she is selflessly offering herself for such purposes! ... * forms an orderly queue*
nop, she says "i've been wanting to talk to u" no Liv....at that time. I hope the s/l of emma missing makes their s/l «stronger» and brings them closer.
Teehee, how telling that Nat confessed her feelings to inanimate objects yesterday, and now that she's ready to spill her guts to a living creature i.e. Liv runs away, something the objects could never have done.
Ok, 2.38, maybe, but has anyone noticed the BABY BUMP at 2:28? Twins I reckon. And isn't JL BEAUTIFUL pregnant! WOW. Her hubby must be DELIGHTED! Stunning. I'm just bowled over by her. Great.
Wait... quick ?... is CC checking out the bartender at 0:17 to see if she causes the same feelings in her as Nat? Or is my mind in overdrive? Totally possible!!! lol
@ballershanelle I know what you mean. I think that Mel & Natalia ended up becoming really good friends. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if she drew up Adoption Papers for Francesca & Emma.
Can someone please explain to me why Natalia said "I helped someone but it may have been at the expense of another" unless she already knows how Olivia feels!? Am I missing something here?
I watched it again and I so see now how Olivia was running away from Natalia. I think if she had stayed there would have been a kiss or an admission. I can't wait to see what happens!
I loved this scene between her and Mel. It was just two women just having a "talk", and wouldn't it have been a riot if Mel told Olivia that Remy had a "thing" for Natalia back in the day.
I agree! Liv's standard line is "So what?", like she wants everybody to say "Well you know, it's not right...", but nobody does her the favour. Just face it Liv, nobody cares!
yeah, and then she gets pissed off with everyone who says the right thing to her....its almost like shes like ''noooo why would you say that now im even more in love with her!!!''
The fact that Natalia said "it MAY have been at the expense of another" instead of "it WAS at the expense of another" suggests to me that she has a vague sense of Olivia's true feelings but doesn't (yet!) know for sure.
question: is olivia obviously drunk to nat when she comes home and that's why she makes her food? I know when I want to know some "truths" I talk to people when they are buzzed.
Oh, I'm a dummy - I took the 'I wanted to help someone ..... expense of another' to mean - NAT intended to help O by sleeping with F and starting the word around Springfield that there couldn't possibly be anything between the girls - but after she realised it was at the expense of F, because she doesn't love him, and doesn't want it to happen again. Am I dumb?
A woman that's down 3somes of the 2 dudes variety is a REALLY sexual being. How is she not sexually frustrated? The scene with guy at the bar gets more meaningful the more I learn about Olivia's sexuality. I hope she gets her groove back. I'm bursting at the seams to see how they handle the pre-sex talk. I'm all this is set for Aug or Sept.
Thanks again! I hope the program-makers have the courage to run with this but I'm not optimistic. A healthy gay relationship on daytime TV? I hope I'm wrong................. ;0) They're great together.
Can someone please explain to me because what I don't get is why Natalia said "helped a friend at the expense of another" why would she say that unless she knew how Olivia felt!? And lol everytime they were about to have a talk or ask each other to an outing the other one left lmao! Which is a bit fusturating to watch but I still completely understand what's going on. It's just a matter of them spilling their hearts out to one another.
Liv +alcohol equals verbal diareah. It's so funny. Mel said "Men" and she was thinking "woman" or at least just one. "Why am I talking to you?" LOL Liv is so rude when she's defensive. And why the hell are they always doing laundry? Is it the only thing they can think of to hide JL's pregnant belly? WHy can't see that she just falls into the wife roll? Oh liv's home lets make her a sandwhich lol. And CC is working them boots. SEXY
Oh here's another fun fact. Yvonna Kopacz-Wright (Ex-Mel) and Jessica Leccia (Ex-Natalia) share a Birthday January 8 but in different years. Yvonna is also an Amazing Polka Dancer.
I would love for Yvonna Kopacz Wright go on Y & R as Neil's New Girlfriend. They were talking about Recasting Dru but I don't think that's a good idea.
4 Longeity, liv needs 2 watch her viscious personal attacks on nat. A good woman can brush away some stuff but liv thew "rafe" in her face a few times 4 being in jail or how she mothers people or she's 2 naive. Nat is strong and steadfast with faith but differant than liz. ~Liz is the quick rabbit and nat is like the wise turtle. liv cant take a personal lashing from someone she loved!! She's a putty "wuss" In nat's hands...and nat barely raises her voice. goodness over badness always wins.
unfortunately i think you're wrong ...it looks like she is wearing a black strapless bra (not that I watched it like 10 times or anything *shifty eyes*) and what looks like a breast is actually buzz's hand...
boy i wanted to handcuff oliv to the banister or that nat had follow her. its funny how oliv admits her feelings to other people and when she gets an opinion back from them she doesnt want to hear. she yells at them. wish she had talk to nat. but oliv was still confuse of her feelings.
after watching this for the 100 time or so... I've realised something! I thought Nat wanted to talk to Liv at the end, to tell her how she was feeling or sth, but right now I'm thinking.. she wanted to tell her about having slept with Frank, so Liv made a wise choice... when she ran away! She would have been crushed, after the day she had! Nwayz, i don't see a "none crushing way" for Nat to tell her :s
Everybodys comments on this page is soo damn funny especially uncanny's and kfron crazyness lol. im glad olivia didnt stay to talk because nat would have said it all like i slept with frank it was awful and i was thinking about you the whole time and by the way im in love with you then the awkwardness kicks in lol.
The L Word has gotten SO boring. They had one good idea - the telling of the murder of Jenny in back story and then that was it. They couldn't go anywhere with it - I guess that it is the last series it must have been a constraint but still- snore central. Only Bette and Tina are getting me through the last series! And yeah allison6071 - I too will miss consistant lesbian representation. The spin off of Alice's show doesn't sound great.
Talk about t-e-n-s-i-o-n... that last scene! Some of the best acting I have ever seen on a soap has been these two actresses on GL!!
DAMMIT Liv, you should have let her talk!!!! You're spilling your feelings to everybody except the one who matters!!
This is pretty much "must see" TV for me every day now. It used to be Grey's Anatomy and The L Word, but now it's Otalia. Beautiful writing, poignant protrayals by Crystal and Jessica. Thumbs up! Thanks Destini for the videos, the boards and the podcast. You've recruited a new GL/Otalia fan.
"Why am I talking to you?" lol so random... Olivia might be my new fave soap character
they wasted yvonna in her role. she could have been a very close friend to nat . nat didnt have any to confide in!! Liv had doris and even her ex to chat with! Besides, a lawyer could hire Nat. Pull strings for job @tv station with vanessa.The writers forgot the characters who could have helped each other. im still mad that nat wasnt enrolled in an speedy executive mba program once she hit mangement at the hotel?? O could pay half thru the tax break
I'm glad you're home... Ahhhh love that...
"I'm glad your home." loved it...
PS, we all really appreciate you putting these videos up. Thank you.
its so cute how they realize their getting close. then they pull away out of fear. natalia says 'glad your home' in such a cute way.
Woooow Natalia looks so beautiful!!!! plus the way she looks at Liv...god Im smitten with both of them!
thanks for the fast upload! I love the pace the story is going, it makes the pay off that much sweeter. I choose to be optimistic about Otalia. Nat definately feels something for Liv because if not she would have confided in Liv that she slept with Frank.

RUclips - give us part 1 NOW!!! Thanks Otalifan for your dedication and your time.
I agree with your assessment of the situation 100%. I love them together (without labels) and hope that they remain a family. I love the pace of this storyline. They ARE simply 2 people falling in love and it I think it will destroy what they have if they are forced to "define/label" it.

Here Mel, this is how grateful I am for your advice, you pick up the tab, kthanksbye.
such a shame...*sigh* CC is a Goddess! and JL is making her way there too...damn those big, brown eyes...*thud*
GAbound11 have the quote exactly, she does call her "Liv". Wow, Natalia looks extremely hurt after Olivia said she can't talk now. They are breaking my heart.

goodness you're quick thanx so much

OMG!!! those 2 r killing me, i have never been so, i dont even know what i am feeling, all i want is 4 them 2 put me out of my misery, but omg this is like of the best sl i have ever seen on a soap its torchering, but i still cant get enough of it, its almost like a drug 2 me now.
Oh god, I had completely forgotten about this scene!!! Nat actually wanted to talk about it and Liv leaving...had escaped my memory...
If I were Mel I would have said to Olivia: "Girl, I know what you mean when people stare and gossip, when they found out Rick was responsible for Ross Marler's Death, they looked at me like I was crazy like he was."
I love that too. She is working those jeans.

I love Olivia's hair. what is the song in the background? Olivia looks so much better with shorter hair.
are we talking about CC or JL? cuz both of their eyes...wows
nop, she says "i've been wanting to talk to u" no Liv....at that time.
I hope the s/l of emma missing makes their s/l «stronger» and brings them closer.
Teehee, how telling that Nat confessed her feelings to inanimate objects yesterday, and now that she's ready to spill her guts to a living creature i.e. Liv runs away, something the objects could never have done.
Ok, 2.38, maybe, but has anyone noticed the BABY BUMP at 2:28? Twins I reckon. And isn't JL BEAUTIFUL pregnant! WOW. Her hubby must be DELIGHTED! Stunning. I'm just bowled over by her. Great.
I wished that Yvonna Kopacz Wright did a little more Flygirl Acting like she does on Wedlocked. I had no idea she was so funny.
Wait... quick ?... is CC checking out the bartender at 0:17 to see if she causes the same feelings in her as Nat? Or is my mind in overdrive? Totally possible!!! lol
@ballershanelle I know what you mean. I think that Mel & Natalia ended up becoming really good friends. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if she drew up Adoption Papers for Francesca & Emma.
Spontaneously combust! Yes! That last scene, talk about edge of the seat stuff!! I'm not able!! Yeah Liv in those boots- killer hot!
Gaaaaahh. The tension is killing me!
Can someone please explain to me why Natalia said "I helped someone but it may have been at the expense of another" unless she already knows how Olivia feels!?
Am I missing something here?
haha. i have to laugh that is exactly what i was like when i was coming out. this storyline works because it is so real.
This is killing me! The suspense of when and what is gonna happen. I'm about to EXPLODE!
I watched it again and I so see now how Olivia was running away from Natalia. I think if she had stayed there would have been a kiss or an admission. I can't wait to see what happens!
is there a part 3?
I loved this scene between her and Mel. It was just two women just having a "talk", and wouldn't it have been a riot if Mel told Olivia that Remy had a "thing" for Natalia back in the day.
Hey wouldn't it be cool if Mel drew up The Adoption Papers so Olivia could legally adopt Baby Francesca as "hers" as well as Frank's & Natalia's.
can someone post the radio interview tomo?
Tks
I agree! Liv's standard line is "So what?", like she wants everybody to say "Well you know, it's not right...", but nobody does her the favour. Just face it Liv, nobody cares!
wich farm house?
Mel had always been a Lawyer but she also wanted to become a Doctor too.
yeah, and then she gets pissed off with everyone who says the right thing to her....its almost like shes like ''noooo why would you say that now im even more in love with her!!!''
The fact that Natalia said "it MAY have been at the expense of another" instead of "it WAS at the expense of another" suggests to me that she has a vague sense of Olivia's true feelings but doesn't (yet!) know for sure.
They weren't on today is that true? *weeps*
anyone knows if otalia was on today - 26th Feb 09?
question: is olivia obviously drunk to nat when she comes home and that's why she makes her food? I know when I want to know some "truths" I talk to people when they are buzzed.
Andrea Mojarro yeah she was tipsy
Liv is hot in that outfit!! luv them boots!! LOL
When did she say that? I can't find it in the clips.
Natalia is not wearing her Marriage RINGS today did anyone else notice this key element. Could it mean anything or not
I wonder what Nat wanted to talk to her about.
Oh, I'm a dummy - I took the 'I wanted to help someone ..... expense of another' to mean - NAT intended to help O by sleeping with F and starting the word around Springfield that there couldn't possibly be anything between the girls - but after she realised it was at the expense of F, because she doesn't love him, and doesn't want it to happen again.

Oh man! how sweet their interaction at 2:15 , can they be any cuter? .... Thanks for posting!
Thanks again!
I hope the program-makers have the courage to run with this but I'm not optimistic. A healthy gay relationship on daytime TV? I hope I'm wrong.................
;0) They're great together.
when did mel become a lawyer
Can someone please explain to me because what I don't get is why Natalia said "helped a friend at the expense of another" why would she say that unless she knew how Olivia felt!?
And lol everytime they were about to have a talk or ask each other to an outing the other one left lmao! Which is a bit fusturating to watch but I still completely understand what's going on. It's just a matter of them spilling their hearts out to one another.

Aaaaack, these boots (were made for walking)! *keels over*
Oh here's another fun fact. Yvonna Kopacz-Wright (Ex-Mel) and Jessica Leccia (Ex-Natalia) share a Birthday January 8 but in different years. Yvonna is also an Amazing Polka Dancer.
I stand corrected scotty666saves. It's just that she did both at different times.
I would love for Yvonna Kopacz Wright go on Y & R as Neil's New Girlfriend. They were talking about Recasting Dru but I don't think that's a good idea.
Damn, Olivia looked good in those jeans.
lmao!!!!!!! That is so true. So funny..
me thinks olivia has been doing her fair share of drunk driving since moving out to the farmhouse....
Let's get back to what's important here... Olivia is so hot!! :D
you know if Natalia wanted to talk to me I'll talk to her in a heart beat. Natalia is so beautiful and hot!!
I agree. She says "LIV"
Do you guys realize that A Year Ago Natalia was enjoying her life as a Newlywed with Gus, boy how things have changed.
i think its funny that Olivia is telling everyone she meets about her feelings for Natalia.
4 Longeity, liv needs 2 watch her viscious personal attacks on nat. A good woman can brush away some stuff but liv thew "rafe" in her face a few times 4 being in jail or how she mothers people or she's 2 naive.

She's a putty "wuss" In nat's hands...and nat barely raises her voice. goodness over badness always wins.
This part is my favorite. 2.10
how affin hot would it be for mel and olivia to hook up. damn, i can even let myself think about it
Can I get a Witness. I'm so disgusted with what AMC did to Breese.
unfortunately i think you're wrong ...it looks like she is wearing a black strapless bra (not that I watched it like 10 times or anything *shifty eyes*) and what looks like a breast is actually buzz's hand...
Baby got her blue jeans on
boy i wanted to handcuff oliv to the banister or that nat had follow her. its funny how oliv admits her feelings to other people and when she gets an opinion back from them she doesnt want to hear. she yells at them. wish she had talk to nat. but oliv was still confuse of her feelings.
no its those boots too she always look sexy with them on
after watching this for the 100 time or so... I've realised something! I thought Nat wanted to talk to Liv at the end, to tell her how she was feeling or sth, but right now I'm thinking.. she wanted to tell her about having slept with Frank, so Liv made a wise choice... when she ran away! She would have been crushed, after the day she had! Nwayz, i don't see a "none crushing way" for Nat to tell her :s
Maybe if she would have let her talk. One could only hope anyway.
Everybodys comments on this page is soo damn funny especially uncanny's and kfron crazyness lol. im glad olivia didnt stay to talk because nat would have said it all like i slept with frank it was awful and i was thinking about you the whole time and by the way im in love with you then the awkwardness kicks in lol.
@uncannyresemblence Liv +alcohol equals verbal diareah... LOL
save guiding light
I meant 2:24 - my bad.
NO.SHE REALLY SAYS"LIV"
Yes, :15 - *thud*
well shes beautiful
this is soooo Bianca and Maggie,bet you Natalia is pregnant and they will never get together now.
Olivia reminds me of (Karen) from "will & grace" with the booze, the pills and the bitchie attitude, but funny ass hell....lol
She so doesn't say Liv. Y'all need to calm down lol.
The L Word has gotten SO boring. They had one good idea - the telling of the murder of Jenny in back story and then that was it.
