DOLIVIA – shaken and stirred

3 martini lunch
It’s all cozy and nice talking to little Emma about cupcake wedding tiers, but what Liv needs right now is something fermented, straight-up (so to speak), adult, and dirty. Add a little oily fruit, and what do you get? Doris.
“It’s not a date. I said drink, not dinner.”
What better way to escape a farmhouse full of Frank than a three martini lunch with the mad hatter. For Olivia, getting wasted away again in Martyr-itaville is better than facing the fact that Nat and the Frank-furter have moved up the wedding…to this afternoon. Olivia may have been looking for a “sista” with a little compassion, but Doris is not the caring kind to allow her one pathetic moment of cowardice or pity. Doris is living her closeted life through OTALIA right now, and like so many of us, will be damned to see it screwed up by a daytime diva hiding behind her well aged gin.
Doris is us; she is the mouthpiece of the viewer, the fan, and the OTALIA widow that wants her spouse back from the abyss. She is bellied up to the bar telling Olivia not what she wants to hear, but what she needs to hear. For every angst ridden big purple dreamer yelling at the TV and computer screen, Doris is telling her to stop talking with her eyes and start speaking with her mouth! Olivia, tear your right foot off the Beacon barstool and get back to the farm. You have to stop this wedding before it ruins the lives of all of us…and I mean ALL of us.
Doris, now is the time to don that superhero cape, you know, the one that goes with the pretty hat, and save the world as we know it…and want it. We are counting on you to give Liv a snoot full of confidence to go along with that libation. Those martinis are not the only thing shaking…or stirring…in Springfield.
Genius. And you hit the nail on the head – Doris is not only a superhero but she is the voice of every Otalia fan in the world. Thanks to Doris Otalia has a stab at a future together. Is it tomorrow yet?
OMG your comments are spot on! You rock and thanks for sharing or expressing the views of us ALL!!! Keep it up!
Great piece and wonderfully written. Am loving Doris….she tells Olivia exactly what we all want to say to her. Only another 14 or so hours to wait for todays episode!!
That was hilarious! Thank you, I so needed that. And I hadn’t thought about it before but you might be right there, Doris = Us Otalia fans. Rock on!
Awesome! Could NOT have said it better
Another great piece. I really like the dynamic between Doris and Olivia. Doris is providing needed advice and a push for Olivia and through Olivia, we’re getting to see a different side of Doris. Besides all this, it’s great seeing more of the talented Orlagh Cassidy. Orlagh and Crystal are pros and their talent makes their scenes phenomenal.
Doris and Olivia are going to rock it… Doris is the clue by four that everyone needs to be hit with. Frenemies ftw!
Great write-up! I loved those scenes with Doris!
Another great post. Thanks for the smiles this morning. It should be another fun filled day in Springfield. Yep, Doris is definitely the voice of BPD. Now if she’d only tell Natalia to “JUST SAY NO!”
My God…that was brilliant as usual. My very own Otalia widow loves you.
Could not have said it better myself!
Brilliant as usual–and all up in my head… AGAIN.
As always spot on and wickedly funny. A great read.
I’m still not over the fact that that entire week we’ve been seeing is supposed to happen in one friggin’ day! Including freak snowstorm and magical insta-wardrobe changin’ malfunctions!
*snort* I’m such a nitpicker, hehe.
Lovely blogpost as usual. Can I haz martini now?
