Days –
Why would a young man of Ford’s means not have had laser eye surgery? Ford must have had one unique contact prescription. They can’t seem to imagine that the contact lens could have been dropped by one of the numerous coeds that have been in and out of that house. It could have been dropped somewhere else in the home and then unknowingly transported to the basement by whomever went down there at any time.

It was silly of Steve, Kayla, & Stephanie to have such an intimate conversation in the very public Brady pub. Stephanie told Ford’s father that Ford had raped her. He wouldn’t keep it quiet. Therefore, her main reason for wanting to keep the truth about Ford’s disappearance a secret is null & void anyway. Chelsea should have waited for an attorney and asked the other sorority girls if they wanted to join her in telling the truth because she was to do so regardless. It would have been better for all of them.

I know it makes for more drama but I am tired of the Salem P.D. having only one holding cell. It was also silly for Lucas not having awakened when his ankle was chained and Stefano was placed into the cell. It isn’t as if they can’t get to one another. They have both have to have access to the potty and have had access to the cell phone under Stefano’s mattress. Why didn’t Lucas know enough to erase the call he made from the outgoing list and why did Stefano’s doctor not prescribe a better mattress for him as he did the special diet? The writers need to stop overlooking the details.

What happened to Marlena’s leave of absence? She still should not be her husband’s doctor even if she had been reinstated to active duty. I guess a doctor can keep their privileges at the local hospital & police department in Salem if they discharge a gun in a church with intent to kill if the Salem P.D. likes them. They finally realized their mistake and made Dr. Carrington head of John’s case. How can they be sure that doctor isn’t one of Stefano’s men?

I like John this way, well not when drugged. His sense of humor & sarcasm is so much better. Even he sees Roman as Marlena’s lap dog. Philip, one of Belle’s lap dogs, needs to take a moment away from her and get his hair cut. Why did they bother with the Tyler storyline if Philip would just walk away from him? Some of that devotion to Belle & Claire should have been given to his son. I’m surprised Victor let Tyler go so easily.

Part of me was hoping that Belle would have died but then Crystal & co. would always be held responsible. If they are the good guys, and that is how it appears since they used rubber bullets & procured medicine for Claire, then they can’t cause the death of one of the Brady Bunch.

Does Chloe know more than she’s saying? She hasn’t been too upset that Brady is missing. Is she helping Colleen? If John is the son of Colleen & Santo then Brady is also a Dimera. It would mean that Colleen Brady Dimera and Chloe Black Dimera are both C.B. Dimeras. If Chloe is staying and Brady isn’t returning then it will have to be written that Brady dies trying to protect the others. No one stays dead so they could also bring him back one day.

The Bradys automatically attack EJ for being Stefano’s son. It appears they’ve forgotten that Tony was raised as Stefano’s son and Johnny is Stefano’s grandson. Lexie and Theo have as much Dimera blood as EJ and Johnny do. They should understand that EJ no more wants to betray his family than they do theirs and that EJ worries the betrayal may mean Stefano might try to take Johnny away.


AMC –
Someone I know was a regular and faithful viewer of AMC years ago when Greg, Jenny, Tad, Hillary, Dottie, Jesse, Angie, etc. were the major players. She started recently watching again after seeing Cameron/Ryan on “Dancing with the Stars”. Well, Wednesday (01-16-08) night, without even being asked, she said, “I don’t like the new Greenlee. I really liked the other one. This one just seems too fake”. Needless to say, I loved the comment and was happy that others feel the same.

A few have stated that the writing is what made the difference between Sabine’s and Rebecca’s Greenlee but that isn’t all true. I don’t feel that they necessarily write for which actor in is any particular role as much as they cast the role so that the person looks the part of what they intend for the character. When they recasted the role they intended for Greenlee to go into a different direction and thus encourage Sabine not to watch Rebecca’s past scenes. Rebecca’s return means regressions for the character.

I gave it a chance and watched some of the last two days of R. B.’s return week but it just isn’t the same for me. I’ll now return to watching only Days, GH, & OLTL. I can’t wait to see Sabine Singh in another role.


GH –
Kate’s new hairstyle looks great. I no longer picture her as a Simpson’s character whenever I see her; thanks Smirks, lol. Who is Sarah Brown new GH character? Is she Johnny’s full or half sister? Maybe one of them is the child of Johnny’s mother with Trevor Lansing. Johnny & Anthony have both suggested that Trevor had eyes for Mrs. Zacchara. I choose Kate if she and Claudia are the only two choices for Sonny.

I’m really interested in seeing what develops between Johnny & Lulu. Even though they are young, they appear to be one of the most potentially romantic couples on the show. Logan can just go away; he is bothersome. He can be the killer. It was silly of him to tell Cooper that there were no guarantees that they would be there for each other after they were discharged. Logan came to Port Chuck because he was Coop’s army buddy and guilted him into helping him. Cody even accused Coop of still protecting Logan.

The Text Message Killer and the young mystery man associated with Jerry may be the same man or may not be. I just hope that Coop isn’t the killer. Maxie would always blame herself for having covered for him after the Hotel siege if he then murdered her sister. Either Coop is being framed, programmed, or he has a brother. Why wouldn’t Coop just destroy the DNA report if he is guilty? Maybe we have yet to see the face of the mystery man because it is Coop’s identical twin. We obviously would recognize the man Jerry is with which dealing or they would have already shown his face. Could it be the waiter at Kelly’s (Daniel), Detective Rodriguez, Zander, or Diego?

It was good for Mac to finally get it out and relay his pain to Felicia. She can’t go back and does have to go on but she should carry the guilt. Maxie’s pain has closed her off from her mother at this time but Felicia shouldn’t stop trying to reach her. Felicia should now know just how important it is to be there. If Kristina Wagner & TPTB can’t come to terms then the role needs to be recast. It’s terrible that Felicia has to be written as such an awful parent.

I wanted Robin to have children. HIV positive women can have healthy children. However, I did not want Robin to become impregnated by accident. This just adds to the HIV/AIDS prejudice individuals argument that if the protection fails to stop a pregnancy to occur then the virus could be transmitted.

It was ironic that Elizabeth almost had the same experience as the woman that had kidnapped Jake. The only difference is that Jake, thank goodness, survived. I feel so bad for Sam. Elizabeth couldn’t have helped in the bomb crisis even if she had been conscious. Sam deserves a man that can devote himself to her. Jason and Lucky are too blinded & manipulated by Lying Liz. Jason has been ruined. He used to be honorable but now is a lying, cruel, insensitive jerk to everyone but Elizabeth. Sam and Carly should cut him loose for good.

I hate that they are ruining Monica. A once brilliant heart surgeon and Chief of Staff candidate is now an unprofessional alcoholic. Maybe Noah can take her to a meeting. Some viewers wanted the veterans to get storylines but sadly these are the only type of storylines available to the older generation of characters. If they still have uncontrollable hormones &/or are rogues out to save the world then people complain about them acting immaturely. I’d rather just live off my fond memories of the characters than to see them ruined in the present.

The documents that read “Skye Chandler” should read “Skye Quartermaine” and I believe there were a father & daughter Dr. Devlin on “Port Charles”. The daughter was Dr. Julie Devlin whose biological daughter, Christina, with Frank (the same actor now portrays GH’s newest detective) was adopted by Scott & Lucy. I wonder if GH’s new Dr. Devlin is a relation. No one bothered to find out if Cooper Barrett was related to Brenda &/or Julia.


OLTL –
Cris’s former father-in-law might one day become his grandfather-in-law. I liked Cristian with Sarah at first but they are now acting more immaturely than Starr, Langston, and their beaus. The silly goofiness has to stop. I certainly hope Antonio and Talia don’t act as such.

Rex & Adriana could say they didn’t know and that Adriana was just trying to rile up Blair. Adriana could get away with pleading insanity if she continues to wear that workout top as a regular shirt in the middle of January. I wouldn’t purchase anything she sells as fashion.

Nash should not have allowed Jessica to be taken to St. Anne’s. He may believe this will help keep her from playing with Jared’s fire but he should never have sold her out like this. Jess needs to be with her daughter.

I hope Bo never discovers that Lindsay has been faking. If Lindsay was faking it all then why did she supposedly let it slip to Marcie that Michael and Rex knew about Tommy’s parentage? I highly dislike Nora. She wouldn’t like anyone treating her daughter Rachel as she has Lindsay. I want Lindsay to finally be happy and with Bo. I’m glad that Bo & Lindsay stood up to Clint & Nora for each other. I’m not fond of food fights but I was happy that they acted like a team.

It’s good that Gigi is allowing John to help her deal with Ramsey’s threats. It’s time that John found another woman and her son with whom to connect. They would be a good match. I want Michael & Marcie to remain residents of Llanview but it is probably better for them to relocate and start over. Although their ordeal was a nationwide news event so it isn’t as if they could escape to anywhere else in the country. I want them to start a family of their own very soon. They could have surprise triplets!

It’s wonderful that Viki decided to help Gigi and Marcie. Nothing would be gained if they went to prison. Right now Todd is angry but he needs to learn to give some of the compassion that has been given to him over the years. Perhaps Viki could even give Gigi a pair of non-slip waitress shoes. I don’t blame her for choosing to wear those red high heeled strappy sandals instead though for aesthetic reasons but they aren’t practical.

It isn’t as if Marcie snatched some child from a school playground and abused them. She isn’t a danger to society. The world needs more people like Gigi. She turned her back on one million dollars even though she and her son were struggling because she felt she was doing the right thing. We may not all agree with the methods of these women but we should all understand that they didn’t act out of malice.

I believe Todd will be good to Sam but biology should never be the determining factor. Biological parents, such as John List and Susan Smith, have done terrible things to their children. It will be a sad time in the Manning household when Jack and Sam grow up and learn that they were nearly discarded and/or killed all in the name of biology. I don’t know how Blair could ever have forgiven him but I am glad that she did. No one else deserves the crap they give to each other.

Todd is right that if the truth about Tommy had come out earlier that it would have been easier on him. Although, if he understands that and would have then “given them visitation” then he should think of Sam’s needs above his own and thus allow Michael, at least, visitation to help ease the transition. Todd certainly didn’t believe the kidnapper should do prison time when he kidnapped Jack from Blair before he knew he was Jack’s biological father. I can’t believe Blair could ever forgive him for that. It should now be a breeze to forgive Adriana. It is time for the Manning family to move into a house of their very own.

I stood by and was a Todd fan from day one of his arrival onscreen. Most of his misdeeds I knew he either regretted or just got himself caught up in the mess. I thought most of his issues could be attributed to how he was treated while growing up and was more pitiful than anything. I even tried letting go of what he did to Jack & Blair. I figured if they could find a way for Blair to forgive him, I also could. However, I’m done. Even now that his has his son, Todd is a selfish, cruel, jerk of a man with no chance of changing into a productive member of society. They would be right to keep any & every child away from him.

Bo should have known that Pamela could not authenticate that Jared isn’t Asa’s son. No one alive could be sure that Asa never spent even just one night with Valerie Banks. Asa liked women and had a private jet so he could have visited her at any time. Maybe Jared was born prematurely or overdue. I’d like to see the truth come out but Bo needs to think more.

Pamela said something to Jared about her brother having done something(s) terrible to his family. Well then, could Charlie be her brother? I know these shows could not exist without coincidences but I hate how they meet strangers all over the world that turn up having way too many ties to Llanview.

Roxy though could be hiding that Rex is the biological son of Mitch Laurence which would make him Jessica’s brother. I’d still rather Rex be revealed as the son of Bo & Sarah Gordon Buchanan. Roxy could still be trying to hide that knowledge so she would not lose Rex as she did Natalie.
