Well shit I hope so!. Just for today, I wallpapered on my work computer cause it looks just like everyone else's family party photos and I could take a sneak look. Oh how undercover lesbian is that. :ph43r: It's like the day after you find out you don't need a root canal. Whatever happens between now and that photo, we can deal with. To point: I'm sticking this here cause Ms EK is having downloading issues and will not be seeing today's ep immediately. Selfish me wanted to ask if a. is Olivia going on the wagon soon about the drinking - I thought that was awfully clear with Dr. Rick and b. if Josh was going to be the person she will confide in (as per Dr. Rick's suggestion + poor old drunk hisself Josh's offer) about WHO it is that is causing her to be drinking more than usual? |

Even before they started hitting us over the head with it, we had recognized that Olivia's drinking went way up when she was repressing her feelings for Natalia, and then went way down when they were "together" (whatever together means, given that they didn't kiss or anything, but whatever). So quitting drinking is now an explicit, not implicit, part of the Otalia storyline, and it means that Liv is going to have to quit it, either before Nat gets back, or soon thereafter. Whether she'll ever tell anyone why she started drinking again, I don't know, but they'll soon put two and two together and figure it out, once Nat and Liv come out as a couple. Which perhaps will be at Buzz and Lillian's wedding? I was thinking with that photo, that could be their let's-just-go-as-a-couple coming out event, which isn't as cool as indepdence day, but it does reclaim a heterosexual event for a lesbian agenda, which is kinda cool. All speculation, of course--they could come out before then. |

I think they will be an identifiable couple prior to Buzz and Lillian's wedding. That would be a bad time to make a statement, much as I love the re-purposing of the hetero wedding, since it is Moral Center of Springfield Lillian getting married. The thing I love about the photo is that they are so casual about it. The thing that worries me is that Olivia is texting. I posted further on your first paragraph over on the main page.

But, do we know it's Liv texting as opposed to CC? I mean, they aren't filming in this instant, are they? But if we assume it's CC who's texting, then we have to assume it's CC who has her hand on JL's back, and that's not as happy a thought, is it? Although, even if it's the actresses, not the characters, we know the characters are standing next to each other at the wedding, even if they aren't touching. |

C'mon abzug, get in the happy place. Much as I truly believe CC and JL are the best of pals, I can't see why CC would have her arm around Jl's shoulder and (it seems) JL would have her arm around CC's waist, whilst CC is texting/checking her voice mail/making a call when they are off camera. Well, unless the producers are giving some farewell speech from the balcony, in which case, bravos to those cast members who aren't even bothering to look. I'm thinking this is another one of those (Tina Sloan Lovely Picture) shots where everyone is at a party and selective filming is going on. Hence everyone is in character, but no one is trying too hard. In those terms, yep, it could be a CC twitter in action. |

Either that or Liv is dealing with something to do with Emma "The Great Interrupter" Spencer on her phone, which would be the only legitimate use of the phone in a scene like this. |

Shall we take bets? Twenty says that in the actual show we see Olivia with her hand on her intended's back....cagey will raise me another $20 that Natalia will have her arm around Olivia's back ("JL would have her arm around CC's waist"). Olivia/CC tweets all the time. Talk about a crackberry freak. So won't take bets on whether or not Olivia has blackberry in hand in the actual show or if a PA holds it for her during the actual shot. ![]() Great picture. Cameraman #2 took the pic (if you looked at all his pics you would see his camera setup with his dolls and the #2 on it). We've got cast only, there are no production or crew members in the photo. The actors are blocked out in their relative positions presumably awaiting the next take. We have the cameraman's tweet, "they are close". So can I still get a $20? I need something for the cookie jar. he he. Oh there's sure to be something with Emma coming up. She's always involved. The catalyst and the glue. We're in the stretch run with GL, no matter what, it will be fun, even the infuriating parts. |

Where's the "denial smilie" to put me in the "she can't say" camp. I think the show passed the "no kiss" phase way back in Feb or March, certainly by the non wedding love confessions...It's a little late now or never. |

I think when they didn't have a kiss in May, or early June at the latest, the time was past. SOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating and disappointing, since it's clear how much CC and JL can bring it, particularly CC, and particularly with each other. I hate mainstream pop culture sometimes. Why does it have to be so homophobic? You know what? I had a bad feeling from the sex shop episode on. I know so many others found that storyline amusing, but I felt like it was showing Olivia as completely sexually neutered in her relationship with Natalia, and I didn't like the implications of that: that women are happy being with each other without sex; that True Love doesn't need a sexual component; that the show can only show lesbians if they never call themselves lesbians and never actually have a sexual relationship. |

Well crap, here I come with my $40 solita and there's but sorrow in the house. I'm going with she is "not allowed" to say one way or the other. I agree, the kissing issue was sealed back at the non-wedding. I am expecting nothing more than the big Hug O' Love. I am not thrilled with the desexualization of OFS, but the barn they are headed for is the "we're not telling" one. This is the first time I've actually regretted that the show will end soon. I think if it went on they would have the whole sex or no sex plot line to develop - most likely with lots of bad behavior by Olivia. The story line has been about redemption all along, and a redeemed Olivia is a boring Olivia. |

I don't know about that. Some of the things OFS did for Nat back in the fall weren't boring, but they showed a redemptive generous spirit, didn't they? Saving her from the sleezy lawyer, getting her money back from Decker, getting Rafe transferred to a better prison. She was in rare form in all of those cases, and yet not neutered at all--she had all her sharp edges delightfully intact. |

Ah yes, but was that Sober Olivia? That's the question - sober Olivia is not nearly as fun as Living On the Edge OFS. She has always had a good heart (metaphorically) and a generous spirit. Jonathan is coming back it seems -- can someone tell me (so I don't have to read the miles of stuff on soapcentral) where he falls into the game?
