"Back Off, Bitch! NOW!" OLTL's Dorian Warns Rama To Get Her Claws Off Of David!
Courtesy/TOLN
Make sure to catch this week’s episodes of One Life to Live on Hulu and iTunes for this new Dorian (Robin Strasser) classic moment!
As David (Tuc Watkins) heads to Shelter to celebrate the news on his reality show, he cozies up with Rama Patel (Shenaz Tresury)! As Rama and David take to the dance floor, a hot kiss between the two of them follows! And who happens upon the scene, Dorian!
Dorian comes between Rama and David in heat and pushes them apart and warns Mrs. Patel to “Back off, Bitch! Now!” However, what is more important is this looks to be the end for now for David and Dorian! David could not get Dorian’s attention away from creating revenge and payback on Viki (Erika Slezak), so David’s roaming eyes came back to the forefront, while Dorian claims she came to find David at Shelter to gloat and celebrate her suppose victory over Viki!
Watch the clip of Dorian, David, and Rama after the jump, and let us know what you thought of it? And what do you think will happen to Dorian and David’s relationship? We hear that the TOLN “Back off, Bitch” clip was even trending on Twitter last night!
This is AWESOME!!! Vintage Dorian!!!
Dorians claws come out…love it! However, i wish Viki was Nikki and flirting around with David so she could tell Dorian ”Payback is a bitch, isnt Dorian?”
I don’t want to see Dorian and David break up. They are so cute together. Things will only get worse when David learns of Dorian’s revenge plot against Viki.
That is sad. David is the best friend to Dorian’s enemy. Ugh! When did David become a goodie two shoes?
I guess the scene was played for laughs, hard to take it too seriously. Naturally, it happened at SHELTER, even though viewers have made it clear that they’re not crazy about the endless SHELTER scenes. People are either going to Shelter, or dancing at Shelter, or getting drunk at Shelter, or overdosing at Shelter, or having dinner at Shelter, or having brunch at Shelter. The town of Landview nowadays just has Shelter for there evidently are no parks, no ponds, no lakes, no department stores —
New season coming up – please build some new sets!
Viki and Clint will get married at Shelter, Jacks High School graduation party will be held at Shelter, Natalie takes Liam to Shelter for playgroup time with his friends, Rama will get pregnant…is it Davids or Vimals?…and will give birth at Shelter, and little Sams school is planning a field trip to Shelter later in the school year…lol…just joking with you! But i agree with you that Shelter is overused! i also dont care for that dull looking mall Shelter is located in…its too dark and gloomy…very depressing place to shop.
They should bring back Carlottas diner…it was one of the shows better sets…imo
I don’t want them together anymore since David cheated on Dorian.
How could you NOT love Dorian!!! Ha Rama Better watch her back Dorian is one MEAN COUGAR!!!!! RAWR!!! LOL
I love Dorian…Vickis good verses Dorians evil is the best part of OLTL…p.s. i wouldnt trust that sneaky Rama…and wouldnt it be great if Dorian was to show up at Shelter with Vimal as her ‘date’ but not really with him. Both Dorian and Vimal in cahoots to teach their spouses a lesson…
Dorian showing up with Vimal OMG! How funny would that be LMAO!!!!
I like Rama, Ever since she faked her pregnancy and how it came out that she lied was Hysterical!
Ramas fake pregnancy was the best written one ever and when her ‘water broke’ it became the funniest daytime scene ive ever seen imo!
Of course rama is going to lose david to dorian. Would a day soap opera ever make the Indian american char “win” the white guy when she’s going against a white woman? Highly doubtful that writers and execs would be comfortable w/ that especially bec rama is most probably the only Asian american female char on all the day soap operas. Everyone knows tv isn’t very racially diverse and day soap operas are the worst w/ racial diversity. The remainder of the ancient day soap operas especially lack chars who are Asian american. Of course dorian is considered a lead char but rama definitely is not a leading character. There’s never been romantic leading men and women who are Asian american on any day soap opera and yet day soap operas are the oldest tv shows around. There’s never been any lasting Asian american chars w/ frontburner storylines on any of the day soap operas.
I agree we need more lead characters of every race, but phooey on the idea that Rama is not being given lead material, She has an open marriage with her spouse, friendship with Cutter, a budding rivalry with Natalie, and David has the hots for her and will most likely end up sleeping and maybe paired with her. But to suggest that Dorian will “win” David because she is white ignores the decades Dorian and David were together. If Dorian gets stuck with that piece of crap cheat, it will be because of their history and the lack of chemistry with Rama and David (IMO, of course), nothing else. There are plenty of male options for Rama.-David the least of them.
Frankly Vimal is the one I prefer to see over Rama, a very trifling character.
What are you even talking about Rama isn’t Asian or American?
I suppose you thought Vimal was from Ireland too.
India is in South Asia.
Yes it is but she is still considered indian and still not american.
India is considered Asian, because India is in Asia. In fact, in much of the English speaking world, Indians and Pakistanis are often referred to as “Asians.” This is especially true in Britain. We don’t do it as much in the US, but that doesn’t make it not true. Rama is most certainly Asian by any standard.
I recognize this Dorian. I haven’t seen her in a long time.
I thought RS was awesome in her dealing with David and Rama-would prefer the name-calling be strictly applied to pig who is stepping out on her instead of the foolish and fawning Rama.
David is screaming with every fiber that he is not interested in Dorian, save for maybe her home, money, luxuries–I hope she realizes this pronto and dumps him. Please Show, don’t drag this out.
With both Viki and Dorian on the outs with their men, I hope the show is not going with a trite and unwanted triangle with Ron Raines’ character. Just no. These women are too good to fight over some man and as David has so aptly demonstrated, the man is just not worth it.
Key line from Dorian: “The image of you kissing that slut will forever be ingrained in my brain!” I hope that has a meaning that resonates. I’d like to think the break up of David and Dorian will be for the good of BOTH characters. David and Rama appear to be a planned pairing. What about our Dorian?
I’d like to see Dorian with someone else. David and Rama? Indifferent.
Definitely vintage Dorian, OLTL needs a lot more. If the writers and producers are listening, we need Jessica (whether it’s Bree or Erin), Christian, Rex, Joey and Kelly, Roxy, Max Holden (to cause some drama for Blair), Trevor and Roger, Marcie and Michael (the original Michael McBain) and John McBain (whether Michael Easton or a great recast) who has been the heart and sole of Llanview since 2003. Jolie Rocks. No better SOAP couple since Luke and Laura. JOLIE has had the best stories and adventures.
Has anyone seen Silis Clay on GH this week? Acting a lot like Lieutenant John McBain in disguise as a doctor. If there is anyway to bring back Michael Easton, they need to do it. He is critical because he always interacts with everyone and no one better than Natalie.
We need real Llanview sets: UltraViolet, Rodis, the full police station, some more rooms in Llanfair, the Bon Jour, Angel Square and a home for Natalie and Liam (copy the one Ron built on GH). Perhaps it’s me but the sets seem very small. Dump the coffee shop and give us back the Bon Jour where real people meet.
OLTL fans have loved the show for over 43 years so let’s get back to it’s heart and soul soon.
IMO, they have the heart and soul with core veterans who have been there for decades, namely at center Viki. While in general I agree with much of what you’ve written, I think for now, they have to produce a show that will allow them to continue on sure footing financially. Realistically, it might be awhile before they can do much of anything in terms of expansion. CHARACTER-DRIVEN story, the STORY is the most important thing they have to get right for the current cast. Keep in mind it is a 30-minute show, which means a limit to characters. The scene above is indeed vintage Dorian. The character seems refurbished with the current regime. I hope they keep it up.
I definitely hear what you are saying and I too want the show to succeed. It just seems that more money has been spent on AMC which has a lot more characters. They really need to revisit a 30 minute show which only occurs twice a week.
I do think they need to invest more money and bring back more vintage characters or they run the risk of losing the core audience they have established. I feel like it’s the same characters over and over especially the younger ones and the stories are just not that interesting.
They need to balance financial needs along with keeping the show interesting and exciting.
And david thinks the can HANDLE dorian . That was funny . Nobody HANDLES dorian unless she wants to be HANDLED!!
Ah, this scene reminded me of why I fell in love with Dorian at the tender age of ten; she’s such a badass. Rama, Dorian will have you for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. Watch it; you’re not playing with fire, you’re playing with explosives.
Days Of Our Lives
‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

General Hospital
‘General Hospital’s’ Kelly Thiebaud on Britt and Cassius Sibling Drama, But Who Will Ultimately Blow His Cover?
On the April 30 episode of General Hospital, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) had some choice words and warning for her brother Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) who has been masquerading as his twin, the very dead, Nathan West.
As the story has unfolded, viewers learned that Britt knew all along that when “Nathan” showed up in Port Charles seemingly resurrected with a missing 7 years of his life unexplained, that Cassius was taking his place.
Now in developments on today’s GH, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is figuring out that this guy pretending to be Nathan is someone else, and Cassius learns from Britt, that Joss is not just a ditzy sorority girl as he claimed, but a WSB agent! The moment stuns Cassius. Are the walls about to close in on him and his charade?
Courtesy/ABC
Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud spoke to Soap Opera Digest, about the story point and getting the opportunity this time back at GH to work with Ryan Paevey, when she hadn’t had the chance to before.
BROTHERLY LOVE?
Thiebaud expressed on sharing scenes with Ryan Paevey, “It’s just been so wonderful to have him back and to actually work with him! When he first came onto the show (as Nathan at the end of 2013) I was kind of heading out — it was right towards the end of my contract, so we didn’t actually work together a ton. It’s been really refreshing and so much fun to really spend time together and get to know each other and work together. I think we have really great on-camera chemistry and banter with each other. I really enjoy working with him.”
With the stakes at an all-time, Thiebaud explained how she views her on-screen alter-ego’s involvement with her more hot-to-temper sibling and why Britt revealed the truth about Josslyn to him. “People finding out about Cassius would expose what she’s involved in and what she agreed to do,” explains Kelly “And now Josslyn is digging around, and she’s connected to Carly (Laura Wright) to Jason (Steve Burton) and that whole dynamic! It’s messy!”
BRITT’S MURKY FUTURE
Britt has currently also reached her breaking point with Jason being carted away by the WSB, Rocco (Finn Carr), the child she gave birth to, shooting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) to protect her and Jason, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) being killed after trying to help her, and Cullum holding over her head getting her Huntington’s disease medication to control her symptoms, while blackmailing her into finishing the research on her father, Cesar Faison’s, final project. Thiebaud summed it up best for Britt right now, sharing, “It’s been a really tough time for her.”
So, who do you think will be the person to blow Cassius’ cover? Will it be Britt herself? Josslyn? Liesl? Brennan? Nina? Lulu? Rocco, Maxie, Cullum or someone else? Let us know your pick in the comment section.
