I caught a little bit of the show, while working from home, and I nearly fell off of my chair! John McBain was smiling and lighthearted! I could not believe it was the same character.
What a complete difference away from whining Natalie and his father's demon. Darn, he was really cute!
Marty and John and chemistry. And it was all together... mixed... kind of nicely. Creeeeeppppyyyyy.....
Yup, that basically summarizes it! What it also really highlighted was the complete LACK of chemistry and fun between John and Natalie. Totally bizarre but I will admit it had me watching it very confused.
The dart in the butt was funny. It was a totally weird viewing experience, because I really don't like either character, but they seemed to work really well together.......
What is really turning me off OLTL is the obvious mainpulation of characters into new hook ups. John and Marty has been telegraphed for weeks. I wish they'd both fall off the face of the earth.
i think *lighthearte* is a bit overstated. lord help me.....i hate mcbain. i don't want him paired w/martie. john has ruined both evangaline for me & then natalie. i think they should send him to a monastary where he can't ruin anymore women.

I agree. It has always annoyed the shite out of me. What pisses me off even more is than in having him act like this, it makes Natalie out to be the bad guy, like she was the reason he was all dark and moody. But all of a sudden Marty comes along and voila? Pfft.
I never really saw any chemistry with John and Natalie. Even when they were supposed to be madly in love, they were very lack-luster.
Natalie's character has become so whinny that I really don't care about her any longer. Back in the days when Natalie was manipulative and coniving were really good days for the character, and instead of whining she was plotting. I think that MA really is a good actress, but the poor John obsessed Natalie who is always wringing her hands so needs to go back to the old days when she plotted!

You're just mad because you like Natalie there Jojo! Natalie deserves to take her part in the blame and John will have to accept his as well. As far as John having a personality with another woman, it can happen. Flipside too, Marty is more tolerable with John. That happens. That's why we have bad couples and good couples. And besides, frankly, John and Marty have me much more interested then another bout of John and Natalie. This gives both characters some very, very, very much needed fresh space and air!

Sorry to dissapoint, but I'm not just pissed because I like Natalie. That would be a very shallow argument. I used to like Natalie and John, but they were way too different. Is Natalie totally blame free? Absolutely not. She did stupid things. But to make John out to be this wondrous person after she leaves is rediculous. It doesn't matter if he has chemistry with Marty or not. He had chemistry with Evangeline too, but he was still very brooding. It's just a simple case of making one character look really bad while trying to uplift a totally useless one.
