Mitch reminds me of Alistair Crane on Passions, but Alistair had an excuse for knowing everyone's business because he had videocameras hidden all around Harmony. I'm not sure how it's possible for Mitch to know so much, unless his followers have infiltrated every aspect of Llanview.

Right now Mitch just feels like a plot device to get rid of Jared and push John and Natalie back together.

AlistairCrane, how long have you been watching OLTL?  I agree that Mitch is a plot device to an extent.  However, Mitch has such a rich history with many of the cast members Ron and Co. are able to play off that.  Plus, OLTL was due for a good storyline invovling one of its key villians.  The Carlo/Mendorra storyline had left a bad taste in my mouth.

I don't know how long AC has watched OLTL, Alistair Crane can't compare to Mitch.  The statement seems just as if it is meant to cause discussion, because anyone who has watched both shows and that since the beginning would know better than to make such a comment and be taken seriously. But.. that is my opinion... watching OLTL since 1969 and watch Passions for the most part all the way through... okay... didn't really need to because nothing really changed after PsychoCharity left the scene and the end. Was a lame show but very funny. OLTL on the other hand is a serious soap opera and always will be, even with our over the top villains and heroes... it isn't a joke as was passions. JMO

I wasn't born when Mitch was first on, but I was definitely watching when he turned out to be Jessica's father.

Yes it is possible to compare the two. Outspoken, you seem to think Passions can't be compared to anything. Well, you know what, it was a soap opera that was on for nine years. It can be compared to any other soap, past and present. And Mitch is comparable to Alistair in terms of their evilness.

Just because Passions was a satire doesn't mean it can't be compared with the soaps it was spoofing. You are trying to negate any Passions comparisons by calling it a "joke" and that's just not possible.

I just hope Mitch does not kill Cassie, but she's the only Cramer I can see the show killing or maybe Addie.

Silly Rabbit, tricks are for kids!

You are right, it was a satire of soaps and never ever considered a soap, just like on the Carol Burnett show, soaps were made fun of, but that doesn't make the CB show a soap either, now does it?

I could tell by your writing that you were young but that is besides the point. If you haven't been watching... you can't really compare now can you? No matter, your opinion is also valuable, so is toilet paper! Have a nice evening and keep coming back!

I love the Tina Avatar! I love Tina!!!! I hope they don't kill Cassie either, maybe Langston? Wasn't there buzz about her leaving?
