he is nothing but a hideous bully. why does he think he can just go snatch tommy from marcie? he needs to present evidence to the court & have DNA testing done. while tommy's first adoption wasn't legal, the one by marcie & michael would certainly be considered to be. it was done w/the sanction of the state.
todd is now just as mean as spencer ever was & i just don't like characters like this.

Wouldn't you want your kid immediately? And come on, this Todd. He's never been a saint. He's the bad boy with that streak of heart and humanity. And frankly, Michael deserves to have this happen for lying about the kid being his in the first place. The McBains are getting a big dose of karma and unfortunately, Marcie who is completely innocent here is getting the backlash because of Michael, John and Rex's actions.

I have to agree that Michael, Rex and John all deserve whats coming to them. I just feel terrible for Marcie. Though I expect we will get some good acting scenes out of her because of this. And I can always watch someone perform
I'm with kris on this one. That one scene in the preview of Todd and Lindsay - ugh. Todd's been written as such an insufferable ass I can barely watch him now.
Marcie's the victim in this mess with all the secret-keepers the bad guys - all of them. No matter what their motives were, the longer the secret was kept, the worse the damage for every one of them.
Sooooo, I can understand Todd being pretty pissed off right now. This all a culmination of all the crap he's endured. He found his kid that Spencer screwed him out of and that brings up Blair's infidelity, Spencer trying to kill him, the entire Margaret scenario. Tommy, in a way, is that golden prize after the long trial in a way. I can't blame Todd for wanting his kid and all the previous crap layered on top of it makes him one pissed of guy that wants his son aka the symbol of moving forward, right now.

I understand why Todd is upset, but he needs to calm down a little. He doesn't know how long anyone has known or anything like that, I guess I just feel badly for Marcie. I am pretty sick of Michael and Rex and even John for keeping it from her.
Let's all just remember that Roger Howarth's Todd would have just held them all with fake plastic explosives until they gave him his kid. TSJ's Todd is acting pretty tame comparatively.

Today Todd became a loathsome, vile piece of crap. Hate him. And that's a good thing because at least TSJ i s bothering to act enough for me to bother watching, and then react.
I hope Todd loses everything this time around, including his "son", the miracle 12 month gestation child.
why is todd treated to this hideous double standard. he most certainly does not deserve to grab tommy out of the arms of two people who love him. michael, rex, adrianna, & john (& i sure don't like john) have only been trying to save tommy from life w/todd ~~~ who happens to be a bloody awful parent to both star & jack. he never paid any penalty for giving jack away. this is all about spenser getting the better of todd not todd loving tommy. he doesn't want tommy b/c he loves them. he wants him b/c he's just another possession. on top of that there is a legal procedure for regaining custody in a case like this & it doesn't include snatching the child from the only parents he's truly known first the rat bastard needs to PROVE he is tommy's biological unit.
i hate this entire SL & i will never be convinced that he should be cursed w/a father like todd. IMO he shouldn't even be allowed near star & jack. why is it that people think todd is so wonderful? he's unremittingly mean. other characters have done bad thing & posters never forget it & years later are still screaming *off w/their heads.....the hate never ends.
i like tsj, but i hate todd.

i'm so praying that convincing todd that tommy is todd's missing son is spenser's final shot at todd. i hope it's all a huge hoax by spenser to bring todd to his knees.

I'm going to bottom line this. Michael, Rex and John should all be thrown into jail and face kidnapping charges. They know the kid isn't who he was passed off to be and have been hiding it. Further more, John should be stripped of his badge and never allowed to see it again. He didn't bring this forward and proved that he will bend the law when it comes to relatives. Todd's past is absolutely irrevelant until this is brought before a judge.
And as far as Todd demanding his child back, come on, you should know this was coming, you've seen the show. This is how Todd acts. Laws be damned. Everyone complained about how Todd was made into a wimp, now you're complaining that when he finally starts acting like the character should have been acting this entire time. Todd Manning is Mr. Take The Law Into His Own Hands. Blew up a yacht, tried to make Asa think he was insane, held people hostage with fake dynamite to find out who a real killer was.
Marcie deserves better sure, but the 3 moron boys deserve to be flung underneath the bus on this one.

So much for Todd maturing, right! Well I understand he wants the kid and he never does things the right way, but sometimes he can be so vile and disgusting and rude. I think if they are going to make him mature, those would be the first traits they would work on. And I can always picture in my mind Roger doing a much better job of it all.
In fact I'm going to say Todd is worse than he's ever been in that most days he's a wimpy-ass, cry-baby weakling being kidnapped and tortured and then in the next he's vile, rude and obnoxious.
Well, I just watched part of the OLTL recording and I was laughing out loud at Todd's southern bubba accent while hollering through the jail bars for HIS SON. What the heck was that?
Now I'm beginning to think it's TSJ that I dislike, not just the character, Todd. I know he wasn't ad libbing his lines, but that accent choice? I'm still laughing.
