All over the world, thanks to the internet, gay women are raving over a fictional couple collectively called "Otalia". Count me in as one of the gay women raving over these two.
Crystal Chappell plays Olivia, one half of Otalia; while Jessica Leccia plays Natalia, the other half of Otalia, on the world's longest-running tv soap opera "Guiding Light".
Otalia best portrays on tv/internet the love between two women. My partner and I can relate very much to the Otalia story, in particular to the point that love just doesn't happen in an instant but develops through time beginning with friendship, to the awkwardness, to the stalling in expressing this love physically.
Crystal and Jessica's acting are way astounding. Sometimes I forget that they are only acting and that they have their own lives to live. It also doesn't hurt that these two are hotties.

Saw your post po at AE...hehe followed the link...Nice to see another "investor" of Otalia :)
ReplyDeleteCan't resist the pic, huh? :) Yep, nailed it with my screen shot--right on where Natalia reciprocated a bit of Olivia's kiss. Anyways, I visited BPD to listen to Crystal and Jessica's podcast. Just haven't signed up yet for BPD though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. Keep in touch.

ReplyDeleteTo Laine: Don't know much about Otalia spoilers. I think BPD has many of it. I'll check later. Please visit the Guiding Light forum also. The folks out there are like Otalia doctorates.

ReplyDeleteTo Laine:

ReplyDeletehello vons0654 :) thanks for coming back. what do you think of the end of otalia and the fact that crystal is creating a web series similar yet different to otalia? hope to see you sa bpd. keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteto laine: where are you? :)
Red Jasmine,
ReplyDeleteHi po!nasa bpd na po kayo? Two new members there. Baka isa na pala kayo don. Hehe. Hmm. *sigh* what a day yesterday! extremes, super high then the low with the breaking news from CC. Well, I'm trying to be positive about it all. I'm still motivated to fight hangga't wala pa po final announcement. Mahirap with this heavy heart, but I want to do something, regarding the campaign. Like all other Otaliaholics, I want for Otalia to end happily, if ever come Sept. it is indeed the end for GL and Otalia. About sa web series, hehe, really excited about it! Hopeful that it will push through and materialize. Yun po. See you at BPD rin!
to von: just signed up on bpd.
ReplyDeletegreat to know that crystal is creating a web series similar yet different from otalia. as to the end of otalia, with crystal reprising her role on days of our lives, let's enjoy the gl train ride "until the wheels fall off" in sept. let the otalia storyline be the iconic lesbian love story of all time (hopefully, the ending is a happy one).
for now, i'm looking forward to natalia's "i love olivia dance" :)
Hi po! Hehe saw you at BPD na! Yay! Hehe, ditto at the "I love Olivia dance"! No doubt, she could pull off a jaw-dropping special number only for Ollie! :)
ReplyDeletevons0654
von, have you seen the movie “slippery slope” starring jessica leccia? i bought a dvd copy of the movie from my favorite shop *wink wink*. this movie is proof enough that jess (natalia) can pull the “i love olivia dance”. and hey, their last date of shooting is still august. lots of days still to practice :) i’m actually rooting for a fan video of this dance, rather than the real gl video though. fan videos are way too ….
ReplyDeleteAhm...I haven't watched it po. Perhaps, someday? Hehe. I think there was a clip back then where I saw Nat showing off some moves, to make Gus dance with her. Can't remember why she did it, but it was a sufficient preview for me :) Because when she finally does it, god knows, I'll be thudding so much! Haha! Actually, I also want to see her speaking more Spanish! And to Olivia! That would be...*thud* :)
ReplyDeletevons0654
i was thinking for a different "i love you olivia dance" :) the epi today is all drams. it is reflective though of real life--on coming out to your kid
ReplyDeletehello red and vons. been lurking on this thread hehehe. just miss the "rafeless" otalia tender moments of last week.
ReplyDeletelaine
da*n I just saw jessica's clip of slippery slope! tsk tsk tsk, oh my... dimples... warning about slippery slope clip: will throw innocence off the window! hahaha...
ReplyDeleteanyway, the movie is good -- very feminist. the movie needs to be contexted, other than just watching a few clips of jessica at youtube.. kick ass Jess!
Never heard of it, but hopefully see it soon! x
ReplyDeleteto: glasgow lesbian
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by. do check otalia. many became otaliaholics, suffered--uhm enjoyed-- otaliatis.
Red jasmine:
ReplyDeleteHeard one non-english word from Nat! "Pastellas"?? not sure if I spelled it correctly, Ha! :) But it's a pretty good step for me! More Spanish from Natalia! I. Want. It.
Laine:
Hehe. One reason I have yet to watch that movie. Innocence intact for this Otaliaholic. :)
Overall, good week for Otalia for me. Humor, angst, love, sadness, shut up Frank (and marina! haha!)...Otalia leaning on office desk, Natalia and Rafe moments (JL made me cry!),Olivia in white, wearing Chucks...*thud*
vons0654 :)
forget the kiss, even a cheek to cheek kiss, at least the girls are back together in yesterday's episode after that horrible "i don't know" fiasco.
ReplyDeleteJust dropping by po :) Otalia speculation and getting purple peeps out of the ledge...Just...crazy, high emotions at BPD! ayayay! Then I realize that it's all part of a day in the life of an invested fan. Hehe. :)
ReplyDeletevons0654
otalia echoed my sentiment exactly: "tired of waiting." great day anyhow with chin touching :)
ReplyDeleteok, just to be clear. I absolutely love todays episode -- the whole enough waiting storyline. that being said, I just read a very deadly and "stupid" spoiler. If this is true, I am officially calling all lesbians to boycott this show!!! How dare they lead us on and then they give us this? Again I repeat, If the spoiler holds true please boycott the show.
ReplyDeleteif the "p" spoiler is true, then i would boycott otalia as well. terrible investment.
ReplyDeleteI love blake on today's episode. I wish she and doris get together! hahaha.. other than that --- Im still praying to the goddess that they wont push thru with 'natalia p********' scenario... hay...... I'm way too invested on this -- I should........
ReplyDeleteand oh, one more thing. how many times per episode do we have to hear the "frank you're such a good/nice man"? enough already, geeeezz.. if he's such a good man he should just stop sucking the life out of Otalia! Im outta here!! gotta pray to my goddess to save Otalia... hay.. way too invested on this..
ReplyDeletewhere do you watch this, what channel? x
