Otalia - 4/16/09, Prt 5

[@kariba27]

Crystal's performance during the vows was epic! Silent heartbreak and followed by relief disguised as confusion, and all without a single word.The lady has mad skills.

[@Carolyn1202]

The last scene in the gazebo just takes by breath away. No words needed in that scene. It gives me chills , it is witnessing something sacred.

[@stargazzzer77]

Doris at 2.20 is one satisfied superhero, you know she's thinkin "my work here is done"

[@scalas01]

I love Doris' poker face... she had to refrain from putting a big smile on her face.

[@laminage]

Do you realize that Natalia Rivera made history for being the First Runaway Bride in the History Of US Soaps for being not in love with a Man, but a Woman.

[@D-MARIE77]

laminage YES !!!

[@Stacie023]

With everything that's been said these past few days, the most telling and powerful scene was the last 15 seconds when there were no words at all. Beautiful acting by these 2 actresses again. I am so excited for what is to come. I am so glad I learned about this storyline, it took some time to get here but now that it's here it really was worth the wait.

[@PozoBlue]

This has got to be one of the best performances I have ever seen!!! Liv completely heart-broken behind and Nat's fumbling and ultimate realization during her vows that she can't do it precisely because of God's love....OMG....they blow me away!!!! This scene is PERFECTION!!!!!

[@janemansfield73]

"Don't, don't forsake me, please God, please don't...." AMAZING LINE, AMAZING DELIVERY. It takes my breath away every single time.

[@wavydezy]

the way she looked to liv for comfort before running 🥺

[@JetGirl7]

RUN, NATALIA, RUN!! I love how it sounds like she's babbling, but she's actually saying something meaningful and true. JL is amazing - way to hit it out of the park (esp. the last line "I stand here before God..."). Everything she's been holding in all just came bubbling up and she can't stop/deny herself any longer. Thank you JL, CC, and GL.

[@MiAtheRED]

This is true love. Two people that know each other so well will ALWAYS know where to look to find the other. Their story was so AMAZING! And Frank? Uh....yea..ok.

[@PozoBlue]

Ahhhh, just run into each others arms and smooch already!!! this is so good, it's giving me goosebumps all over. Otalia rock my world!!!!!!!!!

[@janiepug]

In the gazebo...I loved the emotional intensity against the starkness of the winter landscape! And then Olivia wiping a tear as Natalia says her "vows".....it is so tragic, yet beautiful at the same time.

[@emalinourie]

Olivia is just breaking my heart in 1:41, listening to Nat saying her vows, about to lose her forever... and despiteher tears, she tries so hard to be brave...

[@LocaSexyGirls]

thank god Natalia came to her senses. I love the look on Doris's face in the background when Natalia left and Olivia went to go see her.

[@straybarney]

No pressure giving myself to you Frank, it's just the woman that I'm in love with is standing so close to me I can smell her tears and hear her heart tearing...

[@chrismartinez1121]

And I remembered all the lies you told me that u know who I am!

[@geneac1]

"I do feel love." just not for you Frank, my bad. And look at Crystal man the chick can cry, that takes skill. props to Crystal Chappell.

[@TechnoBabble38]

Oh wow, there's so much I could say about this clip...where to begin. I freaking love Nat's vows to Olivia because of course all of us in Otalia-land know that those vows were Liv...! Yes, God does love you very much Nat and so does Liv. Liv felt each and every one of those words, it's all over her face, beautifully done.

[@ahuff13]

Thank GOD Natalia...you came to your senses...

[@Ladybug76]

Loved the scene at the end with them standing there in the gazebo. The snow really adding to the beauty of the scene and CC looked so pretty in her coat and hat.

[@jess3824]

when frank says that he'll be OK once Natalia walks through the door, Doris' face was just priceless! it looked like she rolled her eyes. lol, i just love doris

[@rock4you8]

i am in the UK and for me it was also bank holiday i got hooked i had watched every clip on otaliafan channel and hooked i cant go a day without otalia, i have stayed awake till 1-2am waiting to see the episodes

[@farahzawawi93]

i love doris... especially when she made the face when they all hope natalia is coming back.. lol

[@JacobaStarLoza]

So am i the only one to notice how much snow has fallen on the day of the wedding, because when they were at Gus's grave there was none on the ground. What strange weather lol

[@yojayoung]

when you love you feel what God feels. 'I stand before God and..." - and then she understood what love was. this is fantastic!

[@rhyfeddu]

And can I just add, JL freakin' gets an MVP award for emoting and suffering and going out in all weather and running down stairs and out of churches (yea!) and her being pregnant!!! Thanks JL for above and beyond your Otalia duty. WE ARE GRATEFUL!!

[@TechnoBabble38]

Nat's just saying all the things Liv wouldn't let her say yesterday. At :45 when Nata talks about feeling love through God, that is absolutely directed at Olivia. So, you don't have to force me into to marrying the Frankfurter because this love we share and experience is a gift from God.....breathtaking.

[@wendirobbins1045]

I liked about this episode was when Nat couldn’t say she loved Frank, then she turned to Olivia before she fled the church. She didn’t look to Frank at all. Pure love!

[@solitasolano]

Love Doris trying to keep a "straight" face when they'll all saying, "She'll be back, she'll be back." Not likely. Te he.

[@worldpeaz]

Thank you SO much ~ the other one that Marina sang is beautiful too ~ Set Me As a Seal.

[@Dani1165]

Part 2 And then Otalia comes along and revives me! I have been hooked from the start as we witnessed a friendship develop that slowly turned into a partnership and hopefully a relationship. And the writers painstakingly included the emotional/mental turmoil that comes with the potential risks of being in a homosexual relationship. Too many other shows just focus on the lust/sexual part, but GL has explored all facets to tell a whole story that many of us can relate to, I'm sure.

[@iridescent_skye]

@ 2:20 I so love BUZZ for stopping Frank from going after Natalia. He might have done it on purpose to give Olivia & Natalia their uninterrupted moment together. oh Buzz, my hero!

[@astabasta63]

I was cheering like I was at a football game when Natalia ran out of the church! Run Natalia Run! Run Natalia Run!

[@manenas]

Doris's face...priceless

[@janemansfield73]

Remember Sister Anne's words and Liv says: God is love. Natalia: I believe that God is all about love and you are ALLOWED to feel what He feels. AWESOME WRITING! JL, CC,I LOVE YOU!

[@Jehannehowru]

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU GL!!! What a gift. I wish you could stay on television....Love is what matters; being allowed to be with who you love. Thanks CBS. OtaliaFan a warm hug for uploading the episodes!

[@TNJane]

Video is great. They started on a sunny day at the graveyard and the wedding took so long that they now have inches of snow.

[@iowadaisiesfan]

Another one of my favorite Otalia scenes. When Nat is saying her vows, she is so talking about Liv, and when she runs out of the church...amazing acting by JL. Frank is so clueless!

[@VixenByNight72]

It's not just the "idea of Natalia" that Frank's in love with. It's the potential promise of him thinking and feeling that Natalia has the same wish, hopes and ideals that he has about their lives together as a married couple. I think that Frank DOES love her, he just doesn't realize that she doesn't love him in the same way. I can't fault him or blame him for "not seeing" that she doesn't share the same wishes, hopes and ideals that he has for their future.

[@JacsLec]

Just check, the Doris face behind Franck, now ske knew at this moment this marriage would never happen and she knew the reason why.....

[@D-MARIE77]

THERE WAS A SLIGHT SMIRK ON OLIVIA'S FACE FOR A SECOND WHEN NAT RAN OUT THE DOOR.

[@straybarney]

I will always love Otalia!

[@wavydezy]

2:30 Doris in the back was like don’t get ur hopes up buddy 😭

[@janiepug]

I think Doris was really trying to hold back and not roll her eyes or something equally snarky.....I love Doris....

[@bosyeux2]

i loved liv's face just before she left to chase after nat. it was like she was thinking, "oh my god, she just chose me". so naturally she'll have to do her damnedest to sabotage it again. and bravo to the tight-lipped doris. not even an eye roll from her--only the tiniest hint of a smirk.

[@ZuluDeadMan3]

Love Doris in the background from about 2.20 to 2.35. Just the subtle little looks! :')

[@irinaderevkko]

Doris face at 02:25 is hilarious, she didnt need to say a single word

[@worldpeaz]

God wouldn't forsake her because she knows Him .. she knows God is love and that's how you feel God, through love. I love this music ... great artists have come out of this show ... Kyler England is one. (sigh) What will we do with no more of this tension?

[@golfergirlintn]

This scene was shot the end of Feb, there was a huge snow storm in NJ that day.

[@renville68]

Olivia in the snow reminds of me of Julie Christie in Dr. Zhivago....what a gorgeous woman and a beautiful scene. As an audience member, I don't think we could have asked for anything more romantic. Well done to the JLH and EW.

[@bloodmanor8]

Doris's daughter Ashley makes just as many funny faces as she does.

[@RunForever21]

I love Doris' look when Marina says she'll be back, it's like mhmm, whatever helps you sleep at night.

[@kateeroxmysox]

i LOVE how doris is like holding back an eye roll when he's talking about being ok when she comes back. hehe doris FTW! and THANK GOD Natalia finally dumped himmm

[@helleneangie]

maaaannnn.....this is sooo breathtaking. i am deliriously happy that Nat finally made the crucial choice, but...pls,someone out there, pls cheer me up and tell me that they'll be together...'cause i still wanna believe that can happen (even though it did't for me),even if it's only fiction. thanks a bunch Otaliafan, you've just made my day...keep on making people happy;)

[@mosesposes77]

she'se telling Olivia in her vows that she's found a way to love her and still believe God loves her. wow

[@astabasta63]

OKAY! It's Friday morning where I am right now and I still cheering/chanting RUN NATALIA RUN! RUN NATALIA RUN! I am so ecstatically happy! Is anyone one else having a similar experience?

[@spheeris1]

I have got to know the name of the song when Natalia is trying to say her vows, but breaks down and runs out... It is haunting me [lol]. Damn you, Otalia. You've taken over my life!

[@literalmetaphor]

I love that she was still muttering apologies while bolting the hell out of there.

[@Doyoubelieveinkarma]

Otalia Forever!!!

[@janemansfield73]

Natalia trying to say her vows to FRank and Natalia putting Olivia in her place at the school - JESSICA LECCIA , THE STAR IS BORN. I am so glad to be here to see it. She has solidified her place in soap history and it is only going to get better from here.

[@iridescent_skye]

cause i've made my mistakes but you loved me the same 100 red bows on the old sycamore by the road. "100 Red Bows" by Aaron & Andrew - song played when Olivia found Natalia at the gazebo. of love. oh it's just perfect.

[@ammesteradang2011]

oLivia is so beautifuLLL😍😍

[@Ot4li4Ifall]

OMG I held my breathe through most of this clip! I'm sad and giddy at the same time....... I didn't get to see GL today on tv stupid Weather Broadcast so yay I get to see it now!

[@sjg500]

I love how Doris is trying so hard to keep a smirk off her face.

[@donnablowers527]

Franks daughters song was brutal to my ears!! 😫😫🤮🤮

[@Phototropic00]

Omg, that totally happened to me! I got Chappelled on Monday and I've been like a crazed addict since then!!!

[@idolmonkey]

I didn't breath at all during the whole clip and then i finally screamed when this ended. GAHHH.

[@xcountrygrl]

did anyone else see Doris' eyebrow arch around 2:25/2:26 lol not sure which time but it's somewhere around there.......it's really quick lol like only part of a second

[@giasony99]

Ah ok... so was there a snow storm during the wedding, cause I could have sworn and the cemetary there was no snow. lol YAY!! Nat is finally taking control of her life, and stop having other people try to "take care of her". I don't know why I ever doubted Nat not stopping the wedding. Nat is so close to God in a real beautiful way that she could stand in front of her friends and family and try to do "the right thing", but she couldn't lie to God. P.S I love Doris's smirk!

[@TechnoBabble38]

I just saw something else! At 1:11 when Nat say she does feel love and Liv kinda closes her eyes and looks down...so deep.

[@janemansfield73]

PERFECT song. Now, what is the NAME OF IT!>???????

[@astabasta63]

I agree 100% with you. Frank looks like a certifiable TWIT! You're right, where is the show taped that they are inundated with snow? It looks beautiful.

[@ingu1]

Every time I watch this I am struck by the differences between Olivia and Frank. My heart aches for Olivia quietly weeping in the background as she thinks she's about to lose her girl forever, and then it cuts to Frank's seriously dopey face (1:17) and I just want to smack him. Thank God Natalia came to her senses!

[@TechnoBabble38]

From what I recall they tape in a small town in NJ.

[@TheJD6320]

Is it just me or does that black chic looks crazy as hell!!!!!!!!!lmao

[@worldpeaz]

Olivia is just trying to protect her ~ she loves her just that much to be selfless.

[@janemansfield73]

YEAH! I was CHEERING when she ran out! YES YES YES!

[@malong21]

i gotta find out the name of that song during the vows...it haunts me...i love it... CC breaks my heart everytime i watch...

[@starmaxred]

So,let me get this right. Nat's first wedding to Gus lasted all of what five minutes and the day ended horrible because of LIv locked in a bathroom. And this wedding was a bust. Dammit.....let Natalia have a happy wedding for once....and we know who with. Ha.

[@laminage]

UK Soap Fans remember this Storyline. Another similar was on The Soap Opera Eastenders where Callum Halfway Highway was about to Marry Whitney Dean. Yet he knows that although he "cares" for Whitney, he "Loves" Ben Mitchell. They finally got Married at The Actors who play them Max Bowden (Ben #4) and Tony Clay (Callum) got a Soap Nomination for Best Double Act.

[@MiAtheRED]

AAAARRHHH! I can't take it anymore...shush Natalia! Turn around and see how you're hurting Liv!! :(

[@laminage]

In the Magazine Soap Opera Weekly, someone wrote "Hold The Rice!". When I heard that, I "knew" that it wouldn't happen.

[@sancharram1]

Poor Liv and Nat, she's looking at Frank, but she's talking to Liv...And all the while Liv is thinking..."Come on you can do this, marry Frank... Frank's unattractive...just ugh makes me cringe...bleck

[@Dani1165]

Perfect I love everyone and everything right now!

[@tararosenberg]

This is driving me insane! I'm awake at 3 a.m. and all I could think about is, watch Otalia! Nat sure can't lie before God.

[@astabasta63]

All aboard!!!! Run Natalia run! Run Natalia run!

[@xcountrygrl]

CC totally needs to win an emmy

[@VixenByNight72]

I really loved how Natalia realized that God wouldn't want her to devote, pledge and give herself to someone that she really didn't love. Someone that God knew that she didn't love with every fiber of her being. Someone that God, didn't allow her to love as much as he's allowed her to find herself in love with Olivia. If this storyline doesn't get nominated by GLAAD, then I'm not sure what would in 2010.

[@cincygurl]

It was actually a freak snow storm in like April...but you're right about soaps and continuity LOL

[@royalxanadu]

Haha look at all the snow! I love how soaps aren't concerned with continuity at all.

[@ammesteradang2011]

im soooo inLove with this episode... when oLivia is hoLding her tears...

[@gidgegrl16]

okay, now that I've watched it about four time...wow. That's it, that's all I've got. Oh, and I CANNOT wait for tomorrow!! P.S. I think we should dub Marina w/ the nickname "The Pusher" because honestly, how much does she keep pushing the Riveras towards her Cooper Clan? Jeez...

[@Listener15]

Nope! I'm still on the "Yay! Run Natalia run!!!!" train! Woot!

[@rhyfeddu]

People, forget about where the snow came from! It's..beautiful! :) It's blessing Nat's choice to high tail it outa there! Nat's heart won out. Father Ray was righter than he knew, telling her to listen to herself and her feelings. And yeah, Doris deserves to look smug as hell. She's def. doing an INNER Snoopy dance!! I hope Frank doesn't overhear or interrupt the Gazebo Declarations tomorrow!! (He'll probably still be looking for his golashes! ;) Claps to JL.

[@xcountrygrl]

I think I just barely noticed it also......I was like woah JL is pregnant.........the flowers don't quite hide it lol.......i'm with you on that I think we all NEED her to work...........

[@inevemm]

wooo whooo yay incredible I was begining to lose my hopes haha!!! Great!!!

[@gidgegrl16]

I knew it! I knew she could not stand in a church, before God and lie like that. I knew it!

[@Piper79h]

WOW. I seriously was holding my breath. This is so intense.

[@RuneTraverse]

It's by Aaron and Andrew - called "100 Red Bows." You can find it on their facebook page, I believe. It's kinda pretty.

[@iowadaisiesfan]

I asked this before...does anyone know the name of the song that's playing when Nat's saying her vows?
