It's A Tumor

[dreiser]

So I just got done watching One Life To Live and for those of you who aren't aware, Tea Delgado has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. She just got news she has a few weeks to live and as her condition degrades she won't be able to recognize her loved ones and will eventually lose her ability to communicate and care for herself completely.



Tea being Tea, doesn't want Todd or her daughter, Danielle, to see her in this condition. She tells them she's going to a hospice that can take care of her and she doesn't want them to follow. She intends to die alone.

Duuuuuude. Kelley Missal, who portrays Danielle, was so fucking awesome. I mean, I've been loving the tragic mother/daughter bonding ever since Dani found out about Tea's condition but seeing her just go off in rage and grief about Tea's decision today was just epic. It was totally heart wrenching and reminds me why I'm a sad sap and love my soaps so much. I'm totally posting video of their scenes soon as they're uploaded on YouTube to put in this post to share. I absolutely think they're that good.

I really really really hope Tea gets some miracle cure. I can't imagine why they would want to permanently remove Tea from the OLTL landscape, even if Florencia Lozano wants to leave the show. Although there has been no news in the soap opera world of that being true. Seriously. If they kill Tea with this thing I'll be so crushed.

Also, Blair and Tea now being BFF's is totally awesome.

ETA: Video of awesomeness. It's so sad and yet I love it. I just want to hug Dani and Tea. Also, I cannot read the OLTL forums on TWOP. They are such Tea haters there. I dunno what the hell is their problem.

If Tams came back, I might actually watch more than occasionally. I don't think she will though. She was really pissed with how they handled the storyline. A recast would make more sense than ANOTHER off screen breakup, though. Why is Bianca never allowed a happy? So laaaaaaaame!

Also, I'm really sick of David being AMC's Todd. Especially now that Zach is gone, they have no one else to blame shit on. Jake needs to stop being so sanctimonious, and nobody else interests me in the least. Kendall needs to hurry up, and make things more interesting before I die of boredom.

Well, Todd has his family at least. David doesn't even have that. Ocassionally Marissa remembers he's her dad but she's made of so much boring it's hard to accept he's her father.

Tamara was pissed but you never know. Plenty of soap actors have left shows pissed off about their story lines only to come back later. Bianca is never happy for long. It's like an irrefutable fact or something.

omg Marissa...it's like Babe got all the good parts, and Marissa got all the bad. There is nothing remotely interesting in her whole body. Plus, she's a bad actress. Harsh, but this is me not caring. *shrug*

I have no idea how David produced such a boring child. It seems almost impossible. I always wanted Erica and Adam to somehow have a kid together. Can you even imagine? lol. Their offspring would be made of soap awesome.

lmao...it would have taken over Pine Valley by age 2.

Is this actually an impossibility? Erica always turns out to have one mystery child or another, would it be so outlandish? Wasn't there a storyline in the early 90s where Erica was with Dimitri and Adam was in some custody battle with Dixie over Jr? Couldn't AMC rewrite history and say that Erica had a one night stand with Adam and then "took off" to Europe for a while with Dimitri when she was really popping out some kid in a convent in Idaho? Or something? I don't know! lol

Since Adam is off the show now I really don't think there's much chance we'll get a secret kid of his and Erica's showing up. The only custody battle over JR happened with Dixie and Tad vs. Adam but that had nothing to do with Erica. If Adam was on the show still, maybe, but since he's gone, I doubt it would ever happen.
