  • That last look on Nat's face was heartbreaking...

  • @549621jon I didnt think of it that way. Nat realizes how much it hurts Olivia to let her go. Makes perfect sense to me. All the looks she gives Liv. I'm slow I know hehe

  • Natalia's look at Olivia seems to understand how difficult this is for her.

  • talk about pushing things along. dont think natalia wants olivia to make things anymore real than it already is.

  • Your engagement- Nat-is one of convenience as well-to conveniently squash down your feelings for Liv-and it certainly won't make you happy...glad you realize that in the end-or rather the real "beginning" :)

  • There is two broken hearts in that last few seconds... They do this so well...

  • I absolutely LOVE what Oliva wore this episode! She is gorgeous!!

  • I just saw this episode again for the second time and I totally agree with you on the dress...alas, she never wore it again. It looked very beautiful on her. 6 months later we are getting revved up for Venice. 2 more weeks....

  • @llvaldez25 she did not wear the dress again because she gives it to Blake in the epi when she moves back in with Nat.... I noticed it when Blake thanks her for the clothes.... good choice LIv

  • Wow Liv did u even listen 2 what the non said. I don't think she meant love her into someone elses arms.

  • If those arms are where she wants to be-as it would seem to Olivia-then yes, that is showing her love for Natalia, and respect for her wishes, despite her own feelings.

  • i think that nat know how much it hurting liv to let her go.

  • ohhh geez, i really feel for olivia

  • i love in the last 5 secs how Nat puts hand to her chest as if feeling the Love and Liv looks at her to see if the love has been rcvd - well done ladies

  • Olivia is always putting her hands in her pockets. Did you see her searching for the pockets in that dress? She is a nervous wreck.

  • Natalie's marriage would be one of avoidance, which is worse?

  • My God, Natalia's face in the last 30 seconds just breaks my heart!

  • Jeez Louise! Does Frank just wait until Olivias around to be all all lovey dovey with Nat.. what a prick!

  • CC looks beautifulll, these girls nailed every episode

  • Where does Natalia get off about "Marrying For Convenience". She has no right to get all "Hoity Toity". After all, she slept with Gus when he was still married to Harley.

  • what does natalia's facial expression mean?! Like is it a

    "why are you doing this to me?"

    or

    "crap what have i gotten myself into with this BS engagement?"

    ...or both??!?!

    i cant read this woman at all

  • Translation of Nats facial expression

    Thoughts:

    "Why are you doing this to yourself ,Liv..Don't!"

    Then thinking:

    Oh my God,(pun intended btw;-)she remembers, I always wanted a party like this, there is someone who loves me this much and so selflessly, she's hurting herself to make me happy...

    Ouch.

    facial expression:

    hurting for Olivia and hurting w/gratitude, and hurting w/love.and hurting w/the situation..

    Hee,I'm beginning to love soaps:-)

  • why does natalia do this? she obviesly suffers a lot..!o.O

  • I mentioned this right after the PoD, but no response. Here R and C bring up the topic again, so I just have to say it. Frank is divorced & not Catholic. There has been a focus on N being Cath [so same sex relationship not ok...]. But everyone [incl her] seems perf fine with her marrying a divorced non-Catholic!! What is up with that?? If you're divorced, you REALLY can't have a Catholic wedding. Even if he got an annulment, he would then have to convert. When will that all happen?

  • I think maybe for N-, it's more about a relationship with God rather than committed to a particular denomination. She leans toward some Cath, practices because some of the acts of worship hold meaning for her. The icons & candles help her focus. Prayer is

  • universal. But for N- the idea is that a relation. w/ God is personal & what u believe is personal. Church is a community of people u worship w/& serve with. I could b wrong... If that's the case then it leaves room for her to seek out answers for herself by reading the Bible, praying, seeking wise council, observing circumstances, meditating or thinking , & using common sense. It's actually a lot

  • wider space to relate to Christ and others from, but it is also challenging & can b confusing. It would follow the no labels idea that this story line is all about however. JMO

  • well its a soap! they play fast and loose with many a reality ["eg SORAS - soap opera rapid aging syndrome"]. But N's faith has very specifically been presented as Catholic as opposed to "generic christian" - I am not sure WHY the writers chose that..but they have been consistent. eg...she had a crucifix, she says the rosary, she prays to Mary, a priest is blessing them [who looks catholic], Olivia calls a cath nun for advice...just pointing out that the divorce issue is now inconsistent

  • Alright, then... I just got off the phone with a really nice lady on the Guiding Light phone line. I want to thank you ladies for providing a phone number that we could call to give them our full support and feedback with the Natalia and Olivia storyline. Except Frank! J/k! Sorta. But please if any of you haven't called GL or emailed CBS, do it now and as often! :)

  • I called today too and I think I might have spoken with the same lady you referenced, because she was so delightful when we spoke.

  • Haha, natialia you should listen to your own advice!! But her face at the end just killed me, she looks like she's going to break down when she looks at liv...oh I love these two!! Frank needs to fall into a dark, bottomless hole...

  • Hi folks, does anyone know if Otalia are in today's episode?!?!?!? :)

  • no they weren't

  • So when is Olivia suppose to tell Nat the truth?

  • Why does Nat give Olivia that look at the very end? :-)

    Just wondering...

  • I think it is because of the episode where Natalia confided to Olivia that she did not have a baby shower b/c she was unmarried and PG w/Raef! She never got the parties and Olivia knows this and she is trying to make Natalia happy!

    Just my humble opinion!

    Boy, for a Catholic girl, she sure has an interesting past! and she can shoot a mean game of pool! The streets of Chi town taught her well!

  • Every one who isn't international, watch live, Tivo and watch same day, go to CBS's site and watch the same day. All that counts is increasing viewership, which is all CBS cares about. Tell your friends to watch or at least have their tv while the show is on. If you don't want to watch the whole show, go CBS's website have current day's show running in the background. All that tosay no GL no Otalia.

  • ooh, otalia prequel! thankee kindly. off i go...

  • LOL.....

  • Could Frank be more clueless?

  • thanks, allison. longtime lurker here. my weekend marathon of catch-up prior to the "fake" kiss inspired by My Two Mommies has brought me out of the woodwork. i've been even more inspired by the intense backstory of otalia's relationship. arguably the more passionate stuff predates the move-in: natalia saving olivia from repeated health threats, and olivia losing her job to get natalia's money back. hot damn. and what a stellar period of sympatico after the move in, before Frankus Interruptus.

  • Yea it's a great story, check out yamis23's Channel also she has a lot of Otalia from a year ago. The very beginning of the beginning I guess you'd say.

  • thanks allison6071 for the headsup on yamis23's channel.

    my cat, on the other hand, is an otalia orphan and is not happy that i now have more clips to watch! so he sends you an unhappy meow. ;)

  • can anyone tell me, do soaps have summer hiatus the same as other shows? egads, i hope not, especially if cancellation does come down. here's to summer otalia lovin'!

  • No they show a new show everyday. It maybe a long drawn out part of the show the day, week, month or year before but it's definitely some type of new twist to a long drawn out story :-D

  • hey valeriee... yes, I'm afraid we may have to worry less about the continuation of the Otalia story per se than of the GL soap altogether. I've just emailed Otaliafan (all praise be!) asking her to direct us to the necessary agitating to keep GL going. Some folks have included CBS info on a couple posts I saw, but it would be nice for us to be able to make a concerted effort on GL's behalf.

  • What do you mean, GL's fighting cancellation? IF it's true, I do hope that the Otalia thing happens b4 the show cups it, cause I'd be REALLY PISSED!!! 3/4 months of torment and not see what happens? I'd pull my hair out.....

  • I'm wondering--what time slot is the German soap VL aired? Is it an evening soap, as the old "Dynasty" used to be? That's the type of time slot a storyline like this would be best suited for. There are a lot of college students who watch soaps, and I wouldn't watch at all without this type of a story. I'm an unexpected fan. But, there are some real ugly, nasty bigoted folk who watch, too--they probably don't even shower!

  • I threw up a lot mckntsh3 when Frank said that!! I try to like him and feel sorry for him b/c he's going to be the one heartbroken in the end but he makes it so hard he's such a lame ass!

  • oh...God...that look Nat gives Olivia...Women! You need to get your act together, now!!!

  • I'm not usually up this late, but I have a tone of paperwork. FYI: I did check the Guiding Light poll, and it looks as though people are voting and the "No's" are starting to climb. I also read some of Otaliafan's comment battles on the fan forum. WOW--there's a high level of ignorance & idiocy in those postings. Half those people appear to be at a 3rd grade reading level. The other half--probably the result of in-breeding. I'm embarrassed to be lumped in with them as a viewer!

  • Sukayle we can all call the cbs feedback line at 866-695-1859 and tell them how much we love this storyline. I think Guiding Light will be around awhile longer their ratings are climbing more each week the more they show Otalia and Phillip!

  • Ok--thanks, Allison6071. I hope you're right. These two characters are magnetic & robust, and it would be a shame not to see this love story carried through.

  • uh.... guys? (meaning gals, really): i was dumbfounded by one commenter's GL cancellation mention and went a-googling. To my horror, it looks like GL won a reprieve last year, but there appears to be a good chance the show will get the axe altogether this week!! HELP!!! Please god don't tell me that just as the miracle of Otalia has arrived, the show is edging towards demise. How can we help save it??

  • Frank, stop touching Olivia! What the hell is with all the touching all of a sudden. It's like once they got engaged it's a free for all for him. STOP TOUCHING Otalia, Frank!

  • Choosing between Frank and Olivia is a no brainer! Lets see.. Olivia = Hot, Funny, and deeply devoted. Frank = Yawn and Yawn again. Even my straightest GFs agree. Olivia HANDS DOWN. She would just have to tilt her head and throw a smile and I would dump my soulmate (joking)

  • yeah for financial aid.they never give it to people who actually need it anyway.great GPA or not

  • Now am I imagining things or at 2:50 when Olivia said the "I've never had one before (pause) not like you" line, Natalia visibly stiffens up a bit and kind of swallows?? I can just be reading into it too much but i saw a change in Natalia DEFINITELY!

  • Olivia's selfless behavior, that's it I am falling in love with story. Nat's face says it all she can't believe how loving Olivia is being I think this the key to Olivia getting Natalia back; kindness and unselfishness.

  • loved how Olivia turned to look at Nat while hugging Furts..

  • i love the way Nat looks at her, like ohhh u shouldn't have, what r we doing, i love you....but of couse we wish she would have said that...

  • Otaliafan, how disappointing that this show may be cancelled! Many people are only just now discovering this exceptionally well-crafted storyline. Do the producers have any way of really knowing the how much publicity and and how wide a fan-base it's building? How can the level of interest, both here and abroad be communicated to them? Any thoughts?

  • Oh Natalia SO knows now...That little tilt of the head...Yeah, she knows.

  • Oh man, Nat's face at the end. It was like she was fighting tears and I wonder if she caught the similarities in the "I haven't had a friend, not like you" line and what she said in the hospital. It kind of looks like it struck a chord. Hmmmm..

  • Natalia from previous episode - "I've never had a friend like you...ever."

    Olivia right now - "That's what friends do, right? I've never had one before...not like you."

    Total call back! This is gonna get good!

  • dead silence loved it.......look at how Natalia looks......everything Olivia is doing is making Natalia realize how good Olivia really is......how selfless can a person be.....

  • I know right they need to get together now

  • frank: "I don't need anything but you

    nat: :dead silence XD

  • And Liv nodding to herself with that agonised look on her face, thinking: "Me, too".

  • Ooooo Dimples did not like Goddess volunteering to throw her and Wiener boy an engagement party did she now? She looked like a little girl who's puppy just got kicked.

  • damn who let frank in the front door again ~_~ lol

  • For real. Why does he always have to walk her in?

  • thank you!

  • Choice of white flowers...Olivia is looking to be pure as the driven snow here, as opposed to her usual Snow White but has drifted routine. :-) Great attention to detail.

  • white roses symbolize things like loyalty, pureness, honesty, and everlasting love (popular at weddings). she's sending a very clear message. just wish she would put a little more umpfff into... liking giving them to nat, then inviting her to join her on the sofa for a glass of red wine. after they've tossed frank out of course.

  • bosyeux2...that plan would work for me just fine :-)

  • hee, kinda preaching to the choir ain't i?!

    amen to that--says the atheist.

  • Frank's "that's fantastic" line really grinded my gears

  • and attraction is deeper and deeper

    white roses.... she is getting in contact with hers feelings

  • Annullment?! Good grief let's hope it doesn't go that far! My poor heart can't take it! Oh that's rich Natalia marrying this man isn't going to make YOU HAPPY EITHER!! No comment on the rest of it...I think I've been naughty enough today!! PS - I haven't personally tried "statue worship" but if it brings Ms. Right knocking on my door I'll try it! An engagement party?? Is anyone going to be jumping out of the cake? I need some comic relief after this episode...Thanks Otaliafan!! ;-))

  • It's weird that the Fratalia kisses are quickly cut away (first part) or not shown period (2:28-2:33).

  • We're not calling them Fratalia that's too nice we are calling them Nank b/c it sounds like "Stank" and that's what this whole engagement is to us STANK!!!

  • hahaha!!!

  • Someone else dubbed them "Fatalia". I think that just about says it all.

  • wow, how do you really feel....he he .

    I'm with ya girl, this whole thing with frank 'stanks'.

  • "I've never had a friend before..not like you"...strong case of deja vu there!! Methinks Natalia has picked up on that. This has been a fab episode.

  • Deja vu from what? Did Natalia say the same thing in an earlier episode?

  • Natalia said something pretty similar to Olivia when she was sedated at the hospital.

  • I don't think Frank's a bad guy, but...wow...he is getting on my nerves.

    Poor Natalia, the look on her face at the end. She knows she has feelings for Olivia, but she sees Liv's willingness to embrace her engagement as proof that Olivia doesn't return those feelings...and she's CLEARLY so heartbroken.

  • uh oh.... I have a funny feeling that the party is not going to go as planned.  Can you say, self destruct?

  • Yep.

  • Oh wow when nat lays her hand on her chest just before that look and of course that look. Just one big amazing wow for the whole episode really.

  • Nat's hair is really pretty in this ep...shame it's gonna get all messed up when i smack her upside the head!!!

  • lol. xD that me crack up... watch out Nat

  • I meant ...it cracked me up...

  • lol...that cracked me up :-)

  • ha! everyone's got their witty on today. like fierce! :)

  • iluvjillbennett you are too silly..hahaha That comment was just too funny!

  • Don't go anywhere near Frank... disaster follows that man like the grim reaper with a sythe. SHWING... OH NO IT GOT REMY AND CHRISTINA too!

    I also love that the first thing Nat noticed when she entered the room was the flowers Liv chose. And Liv chose the flowers because Nat would notice. I WEEP!!!!

  • Hey, does anybody else find it interesting that Natalia says that they shouldn't marry for convience or money?

    Cause, ah Nat? What are you marrying Frank for? Not money. Convience, yeah. Love... Hell, no.

    I'm thinking the pot is calling the kettle back in this scene.

    And the flowers... you are so right!

  • Oops I meant black, and not back, cause that wouldn't really make much sense.

  • Damn right- marriage of convenience! People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones Dimples!

  • that was fuckin' a! you are hilarious.

  • Well laugh or cry at this point right! These gals have to get their stuff worked out! OTALIA!

    Poor Frank, the village idot look is so not good on him. He's getting played. Again I say, I weep!!!!! I've never seen a more tragic triangle. And yet I love the s/l so very much. Props to GL's writers for a novel, fresh, interesting, compassionate story.

  • Back to watching part 3. It's my happy place.

  • this episode was amazing ! thanks for making it possible for us to watch it :)

  • Whoa, how Zen is Olivia right now!

  • HMMMMMMMMMMMM. Not sure what to make of Natalia's face at the end here.

  • Do you think the friend saying was telling Natalia she heard her at the hospital ?

  • that's exactly what I thought! they were the same words just in different order!

  • Yes thats exactly what I thought!!!!!!!!!! Oh I hope thats how she tells her in the speech at the party!!!!!!!

  • Seriously, your videos are like crack. For medicinal purposes of course...

    Thanks OF!

  • Gah Natalia's expressions just kill me. It seems like she really doesn't want to marry Frank at all. Her eyes were just pleading NOOOO! at the end.

  • Why god why do I feel the need to grab the nearest object and SMACK Frank in the head with it. NO TOUCHY Otalia Frank.

  • It's good to know i'm not the only one that feels that way....he is really annoying me

  • And why in the world does he ALWAYS where those stupid starched suits?! He doesn't even ever unbutton the jacket. What a tool. Besides can't he see that there's something seriously wrong? Could Natalia be any less excited???

  • For Frank being able to wear those suits is to him an acknowledgement that he came up in the world. Remember, he grew up in a Blue Collar Neighborhood where he didn't have much so to be able to go from being a Diner Owner to a Police Detective is for him an achievement. Also, remember that with the exception of Coop, none of The Coopers actually went to College.
