If wishes were horses, I'd have a whole
herd...
*sigh*
I wish we'd get hot fun in the sun, instead of
teenybopper stories in the summertime. And I'm not talking women in
bikini's. Let's face it, most soap fans are women, and we women
don't much care to see other women romping around in skimpy
bikini's. We'd much rather see hot men bopping around in skimpy
(read: little to NO) clothing. There are an abundance of them on
all three ABC soaps. Granted, most of them we'd rather SEE and not
HEAR, but that's okay. They can hang around the pool, yacht club or
country club (what-have-you) and be window dressing. In fact, where
people like Ryass or Jonathug are concerned, the less said, the
better. Likewise Del and Jamie. Just stand in the background and
look pretty. Okay? OKAY!
I wish that someone would hit Greenlee upside the
head with a big clue-by-four, so she could get over her Ryass
obsession. She saw him for what he was when he faked his own death,
et al, and she left town to get away from him. (Smartest thing she
ever did where he was concerned!) So...what happened? Absence
makes the heart (and mind) grow STUPID?! Greenlee lost everything
about her that made her... well... GREENLEE the moment she hooked up
with Ryass. Greens was always a pain into he arse, but she could be
FUN, too. Ryass took her and made her into some weird, mutant
little Stepfordesque-Ryass-Worshipper.
So, along those lines... I wish that TPTB would
NOT go through with any plans they have for putting Ryass and Greens
back together. Word has it that Josh and Greens will be a go IF the
fans respond favorably enough. Jo-lee fans? Get to writing
those cards and letters! Greens is fun, irreverent, wicked
and...herself with Josh - and vice-versa. Like Greens, Josh can be
good AND bad, and that seems like something they can each live with
- and ENJOY - in each other. Not so with Ry-lee. (Ass-lee?!)
We seem to be on a Greens-bent today, so one more
before moving on... I wish that TPTB would not go with their rumored
(sadistic) plans for Spike. The poor babe has been through enough
already. This latest Spike rumor just makes me ill for the wee
one. Please, please, please, PTB, reconsider what you're
planning?! If you want to do a socially conscious storyline in this
regard, find someone else to "pick on" and leave the Spike-man
alone.
I wish Rex would dump Adri-YAWN-a on her prissy,
sanctimonious little arse when she finally sees the truth about Tate
Harmon and "Oh Noes" about how stupid she was NOT to listen to Rex.
Not saying I want her dead, mind you, but she already has several
strikes against her where her trust issues with Rex are concerned.
If she didn't learn from her experiences with that psycho-stalker,
then she doesn't deserve Rex - who has never claimed to be perfect -
but who has done the best he could to love and protect her. Too bad
he couldn't protect her from herself!
I wish Max Holden were coming to Llanview to
stay. There is still a wealth of potential there for him. And if
they brought Tina back? Well, let's just say I'd be dancing a happy
jig right now!
I wish they'd found a better way to utilize the
awesomeness that is Randolph Mantooth, instead of wasting him as
Tate's father. RM is still dead-sexy and would be an asset to any
of the three ABC soaps. So for THAT matter...
I wish they would bring Randolph Mantooth to Port
Chuckles. Now that they've settled on a contract for Natalia
Livingston (Emily) and there has been much to-do (rumoring) that
Emily will decide to search for her bio-dad, wouldn't RM be perfect
for that role? Heck, he'd even be perfect as Samantha McCall's
bio-dad! I can't decide which option I like better! He would rock
scenes with either Nancy Lee, OR Leslie C. In fact, he would be a
perfect way to bring Bobbie and Monica back from relative
obscurity. (Making them rivals for his attention!) Throw Alexis
into that mix and you have the makings for some real daytime drama,
or some wacky hijinks! Suppose RM played a dashing new doctor, or a
high powered attorney? Maybe even a PI, or a REAL freaking D.A.
(with some scruples!) There are an infinite number of possibilities
for someone like RM there!
I wish (hope, PRAY) that they make Spinelli the
long lost (read: adopted away) son of Sonny and Kate. How hilarious
would THAT be?! There have been enough anvils dropping around Kate
every time Sonny mentions what "she gave up to become Kate
Howard." And imagine Sonny's reaction to finding out that the geek
he can barely tolerate is actually his SON?! And snooty-booty
Kate? How horrified would she be to learn that her son is so...
so... de' classe?!
*hysterical laughter*
Now, I know I have been the last one to wish any
more children on Sonny Corinthos, but this is just too great a
notion to pass up.
I wish Sam would stop whining. And stop
drinking. And stop blaming Elizabeth (and Jake!) for everything
that is wrong with her life - right down to a freaking hangnail. If
the writers want to take her dark, then take her dark, but for the
love of puppies, make her stop whining! Make her "get" that it's
not okay for her to harangue Jason for not TRUSTING or BELIEVING in
her in one breath, and then turn around and relive the memory of
watching his baby being kidnapped as she stands there letting it
happen! Gee, Sam...I wonder why he has doubts about you?!
*eye roll*
I wish that they'd finally let the Jason-baby
secret come out already! So many people know now, it's become a
joke.
I wish they'd stop infantilizing Lucky Spencer.
He's been written to be quite the arse lately, hasn't he? Not quite
on a par with Sam, but still.... Time to let him man-up and show
everyone he's a LOT stronger than they give him credit for. Time to
show that he really IS the progeny of Luke and Laura; and the same
plucky, street-smart, resourceful, strong, brave Lucky he was back
when Jonathan Jackson first graced our screens all those years ago.
Growing up should have only heightened and intensified those traits,
not eliminated them completely. Let him stand up, strong and
determined, when he learns the truth about Jake, like he would have
back in the day. Don't let him remain as the pathetic, needy,
jealous, insecure mess he's been this last year. Lucky once had all
the best qualities of both his parents - let him have that again.
I wish that they'd use the vets more often. On
all three soaps. They add a certain spark, an air of authenticity
to the shows. They are the link these shows need, (a vital
link) to the past, which gives them a sense of history and
permanence; a path for future growth, be it through their children,
or in some other way.
How about all of you, my lovlies? What would YOU
wish for at this point in time? I'd love to hear your take on
things, so belly up to the bar for a cold one (or three) and make
your wishes for any (or all) of the ABC soaps. Until next time...
