Daytime Confidential has been doing a series of podcasts discussing all kinds of ways to improve our soap operas. There is or will be one LONG episode for each soap. Luke and the gang discuss production, writing, diversity, core families/characters/couples, etc. They also read responses from listeners sent via e-mail, the blog, or the TVFanOnline Forums. So far Bold & Beautiful, All My Children, General Hospital, Young & Restless, Guiding Light, and Days Of Out Lives are covered. I believe One Life To Live is next. Yesterday I posted a response on the blog, and I'm sharing it here. Enjoy and feel free to share your own ideas.

10 Ways to Improve OLTL
One Life To Live has been pretty amazing since last year with Asa's death. I always look forward to watching it. But...the past few months definitely haven't been perfect (especially Marty's return). Having said that, here are my 10 improvement ideas:
10 - Show more Langston and Markko. There's more to them than just being friends and advisers to Starr & Cole.
9 - Reunite Viki and Charlie. Have them grow old together. Viki needs to settle down with Charlie and stop getting new love interests. They could be the Joe & Ruth of OLTL as long as Viki's feud with Dorian never gets watered down.
8 - Make Bo the police commissioner again. Ramsey was a terrible one, and John's not fit for the job.
7 - Carlo should follow Talia and the gang back to Llanview to wreck more havoc on the town.
6 - Kill off John McBain. He is super boring and a total waste of screen time. No one but Michael & Marcie will miss him.
5 - Let Tess have her revenge on Jared & Natalie already so that we can move on and have everyone know Tess is back.
4 - More and more RJ! He needs to be front & center and get into some trouble with the law. Or give him another club to run.
3 - Bring back Cord permanently and slowly lead him back to Tina.
2 - Reunite Bo & Nora! A Nora/Bo/Lindsay triangle would be good, though.
1 - If John isn't killed, then at least break up him & Blair and don't let Marty fall in love with Todd. That's all wrong! I don't understand Todd's motivation to hide Marty and feed her false information. Marty's return needs to be fixed! And she needs to be reunited with her son Cole.

HOT Summer Couples
This is a bit informal this time, and each write-up is on the short side. I wrote this as a response in the TVFanOnline Forums. You can read the entire thread here: http://forums.tvfanonline.com/index.php?showtopic=9773
Top 5 Sexy Summer Couples
5. OLTL's Antonio & Talia - Granted they're not together at the moment and their adventure in Mendorra was a lot for them to endure. (Also, I had a difficult time creating this list.) BUT they have so much heat when they are together. A few months ago when it was revealed their break-up was just a ruse, they kissed outdoors near that boat and WOW! And when they got it on at the nightclub (Ultra Violet or Capricorn?), they blew me away. It took me a while to see their chemistry, but now I do, and they are very sexy together.
4. OLTL's Rex & Gigi - From DAY ONE they have oozed chemistry. They've longed for each other for months. Every time they looked at each other, I saw that longing. And it's really sexy. I've been waiting for them to finally be together. After Gigi found Rex in 1968 and they admitted their feelings & everything, they finally kissed. It was a kiss fans have been waiting for, and it was just so hot and passionate. I believe their first love scene will be steamy because the sex between Rex/Bo and Emma was, proving that J.P Lavoisier and Farah Fath make one sexy couple.
3. GH's Alexis & Jerry - It took months for me to realize the steam these two have together, but it is there. Every kiss, touch, and look they share is HOT. Alexis's denial of wanting to be with him just made them hotter. I'm glad she finally gave in because sex is something she was needing, LOL. However, I don't want them together for the long haul; Jerry is completely wrong for Alexis. I can't buy that they have real feelings for each other. So, if they just have this sizzling casual affair, then I'm happy.
2. OLTL's Jared & Natalie - They've cooled off this summer, but before then...WOW! I recall they were pretty hot before Jared's Buchanan fraud. You could see the chemistry and tell they had the hots for each other. During the fake uncle/niece thing, it was icky. But when Jared told Natalie the truth, the heat picked up again. The sexual tension was always there, though. They were very sexy when they revealed their true feelings and made love for the first time. What a love scene! And then all the sneaking around...very wrong but very hot. They did have two recent bed scenes, so maybe their heat is rising again.
1. AMC's Jake and ANYONE - Jake in the form of Ricky Paull Goldin is SO HOT. He is sexy in every scene he's in. He has unique chemistry with everyone - family, friends, bromances, potential love interests, etc. I just love watching him. He's such a joy to watch. I think Jake would be great with Amanda, Greenlee, or Taylor. And unfortunately it has taken months for him to even be put with someone. At this point I don't care who he dates or whatever. I just want to see his sexy side. I want to see him in a steamy love scene. He is a hot doctor; all he needs to do is take his pick. I bet any woman would have him. Taylor wants him, but she just doesn't know it yet, LOL.
