one of my fav scenes from Todd ever. RH and ES played it perfectly and when Todd first held his child and the look of emotion on his face almost brought me to tears. And the baby smile is so precious. One of my all time fav characters, ever.
These Todd viki scenes are epic. They had instant chemistry & it's incredible after he was just Kevin's frat bro to her real brother. The starr viki Todd scene became legendary. The key also to why Todd became & remained such a great character is how much acting rh does w/ his expressions. Micheal Malone said that's literally the main reason Todd stayed was " the actors ability to show such agony & remorse on his face despite the lines or direction" pretty great testament to rh
Todd's heart grew and filled with love when he met Starr! Had the writers not taken Todd down the path they did after 2001 part of 2002 RH with ES, KDP and KA could have kept OLTL going... the writers were dumbasses!!
BBJ55 the music at around the 1min mark was actually Todd & Rebecca's theme played thru 1994 during their love triangle. I guess they decided to recycle it for Todd & Starr
@bjujubee I also think that he is so rough around the edges that they had to make him safe somewhere. I guess it's ok to be safe and vulnerable with children. That gives him some compassion and emotions.
@roman61 Starr, Vicki and some other members of his family brought that side out of him. Blair at time too, depends on how stupid Blair was being. But I agree scene like this is what help ES win 6 different emmy's emotion like this played off so well with RH but was missing with TSJ scene despite how good an actor his was its alway been more that role that didn't fit him which is why I didn't couldn't by him as Todd Manning. No one I think could match RH's ablities in this role
I've got a question I have only been watching this show for 2 years so I was just wondering why Todd isn't Todd Lord like Vikki? Did he change his name or something?
9 years late and you probably already know but his mom gave him to Peter Manning when he was born. He had just recently found out he was victor lords son before he was shot in Ireland
I've been watching this show since the 80s, but Roger Howarth is the reason I loved this show so much.
Vicki healed and saved Todd in more ways than ever legendary
That is why he holds her above everyone else in his life.
It is the most beautiful and sweetest thing when he holds Starr!!!

Awwwwww.........Todd just melts with Starr.
3:15 He says “Look at those tiny little fingers.”😊

I love when he says Daddy got you something, the emotion, esp when he calls himself her daddy, awwwwww
Priceless
This is and example of why Erika Slezak has won 6 emmys. RH knew how to play an emotionally damaged man learning how to love. Classic stuff.
9 years late but its crazy to think rh never wanted to play a redemption story for Todd. He wanted him to remain a monster
When he tells Viki not to take Starr away from him, that look in his eyes as he's Starr gazing, he's SO handsome!
haha love how at 2:15 starr is sizing todd up!
Loved scenes with RH and ES
Love how the baby gives RH the once over LOL
I love when Vicki orders Todd around those scenes can be so amusing kind of wonder if she'll be at it again since Todd is currently living with her.
"Daddy got you something..." *tear*
Anybody else notice that they were playing the "Todd and Rebecca theme music" with Todd and Starr in these scenes?
@3:22 Todd is gazing at Starr's face and says to Vicki, "she looks like what's her name"...❤
Todd is so Head over heels for Blair.
LOVE when he came running down the stairs yelling at her not to take Starr away!
Btw Todd had some iconic music this one and the darker theme when Vicki first saw him at the cemetery.
BBJ55 the music at around the 1min mark was actually Todd & Rebecca's theme played thru 1994 during their love triangle. I guess they decided to recycle it for Todd & Starr
"Be careful Todd I said I was working on my anger I didn't say I mastered it." says Vicki to her brother~hehehehehehee
These scenes are so awesome. What a shame they haven't given Todd more scenes with Blair, Starr and Vicki since he's returned.
@x3xRockStarrx3x Yeah I did I def found myself kinda missing this music after awhile it just suits Todd. Epic.
@bjujubee I also think that he is so rough around the edges that they had to make him safe somewhere. I guess it's ok to be safe and vulnerable with children. That gives him some compassion and emotions.
@GauleiterGoebbels you cannot forget the evils perpetrated by those monsters
Todd to viki " so ur not burning down buildings anymore " lmao
