dncla.jpg I am curious to see what TPTB have in store for Dorian and Clint now that it has been published in the soap magazines that Dorian is behind the Buchanan Enterprises takeover troubles. Will the stakes escalate for them both with the reveal? Clint obviously won't be too happy and Dorian will likely be vilified for her egregious actions.

As it appears now, the break up of Dorian and Clint was to launch story for Clint, who is now with Nora and more involved with his company than ever, thanks to Dorian's actions to raid the company. Dorian's actions to take over Buchanan Enterprises has brought shades of Clint's character to the fore that make him far more interesting in my opinion. Of course, Clint's dad, Asa Buchanan, was one of my favorite characters on OLTL and Clint is reminding me more of Asa.

We have seen Clint's story, but not Dorian's in the aftermath of the break up -- until now. Yes, I continue to have my quibbles with the way the romance was ended (too abrupt and out of the blue); but I am nonetheless anticipating what is currently in place for the characters in terms of story, especially with Head Writer Ron Carlivati back at OLTL. He will now be allowed to follow up with what he started by breaking them up in the first place. In the most recent Soap Opera Weekly, OLTL Executive Producer comments that Dorian's actions are not driven solely by the fact that Clint dumped her but the WAY in which he did it. (Go here: Walk of Fame to read the article.)

WOW! Mr. Valentini struck upon what has really annoyed me in the depiction of the end of the break up; Clint cheated on Dorian first (why I still don't know unless it was lust) and then promptly decided to make it a more permanent live in arrangement with the woman with whom he cheated on Dorian. Valentini adds that Dorian has been smart with this BE maneuver since these businessmen she has selected in the takeover are also major stakeholders in the company.

I am now in greater anticipation as to the outcome. It is not just about Dorian seeking revenge but we are looking at a woman who is also shown to gain something from the dissolution of the relationship that might just benefit her family. Finally, Dorian's actions are defined by strength, not weakness as in that of being a bitter loser. I very much appreciate this stronger, determined Dorian as it has bothered me as a fan that Dorian was so severely weakened in the aftermath of the break up. Dorian is going on with her life; up until now, this particular aspect of her life has been playing in the background and out of view. And I doubt Clint will take this lying down; he too may very well seek retaliation. Dorian went after his family as far as Clint is concerned. He is going to fight back! Or will he? Something interesting has been set in motion here with these two characters. dvc2.jpg Dorian is like that wild bronco that can not be tamed. For a cowboy that represents a spirited challenge. I am intrigued.
