Random Comments on My Soaps My husband works from home.
When he’s in town (which is rare), he needs speedy access to the
internet. I can understand that. We used to have Bellsouth and though I
never had problems staying online, he was often bumped off. At the time
we had Dish Network and I was able to watch my soaps at my leisure.
Usually, I watched it upstairs in my room while working on my endless
loads of laundry. I rarely get to watch my soaps when they’re actually on because I’m either running errands or my kids are here and it’s impossible. I do have DVR with Adelphia, but my husband chose to get it on the family room TV, which I rarely watch because it’s either in use by my live-in mother or my kids. By the time I can get access to it, I’m in bed. Needless to say, I don’t get to watch my shows as often as I’d like. With that being said, I have not had much opportunity to watch a complete episode of anything but it is one of my new years resolutions to spend more time mindlessly in front of my TV watching soaps. That is something I am pretty sure I can follow through on! I do have a few comments about the shows and would like to share them. AMC I so badly want Jonathan to be really, really nice like he is and then turn away from whomever he’s talking to, look straight into the camera and give that wicked Jonathan smirk. I hope they make him bad again because he was good bad. It’s not that he’s not good good, but I liked him bad. I don’t want him evil bad but just bad. No more killings and no more abuse, but another version of bad would be fun! I’m looking forward to finding out why Dixie stayed away so long. BUT…I don’t want her and Tad together. Been there, done that. I actually like him with Di. She’s different than anyone he’s been with and I think they have good chemistry. Could someone please tell Michael Knight to get his haircut? I think he looks much better with it shorter. The relationship between Babe and JR is really going well. I like the chemistry and the way they can spar when their insecurities come out. I’d like to see them really fall back in love and then deal with the issues of another relationship, etc. The problem with that is they’ll likely have to break up as all soap couples do and I don’t want to have to go through all of the drama again. JR just gets too mean. I like him much better fighting his feelings and falling in love. I wish they’d hurry up already and give Zach and Kendall more romance! They’re finally together (and she’s not messed it up yet) and I want more! I finally realized why I like Zach so much. He is my husband. He’s tough in business; tells it like it is; goes for what he wants; gives his all when it’s important; is loyal; sees the best in those he loves and is great eye candy. Now, I don’t think my husband’s ever been accused of murder but there could be something he’s not telling me! Maybe it’s me, but I’m not seeing the chemistry between Ryan and Julia. I think it’s sort of forced. I do like Aidan and Erin more now. She’s getting a life and Aidan’s getting a storyline, so I’m pleased. If they do not expand on the relationship of Simone and Ethan I am going to have to write nasty letters to Brian Frons. She is hilarious and he’s the future James Bond, so give them something to do. Maybe this wedding stuff will work for them. Likely he’s going to be mad at Kendall for actually falling in love with Zach and Ethan will turn into the frog. Who knows. Not that I’m being picky, but Ethan does need a haircut. Maybe he and Tad could go to Opal's place. Does she have it anymore? Or they could take a trip to OLTL and have Roxie cut it for them! I like Amanda. Sort of. I think once they find a true place for the character, she’ll be a good bitch. And the girl that plays her is drop dead gorgeous. She could have been the new Greenlee if she wasn’t already on the show. I recently saw a movie, I think it was “Must Love Dogs” but it could have been “A Lot Like Love” and Josh (that is the producer of New Beginnings, right?) has a three second spot on it. Exposure is exposure, even if it’s three seconds! OLTL I’ve always liked David Fumero. I have a friend who grew up near him and actually was ‘intimate’ with him so I feel like I’ve got some secret information that endears him to me. But he is also in desperate need of a haircut. What is this with the long hair, hanging in the face thing? Don’t these people know the only two guys on soaps who look good with long hair are Lucky from GH and Nash on OLTL? Speaking of Nash, I wonder what’s up with this restraining order? Gosh, I sure hope Jess goes away and Tess stays. Or, if they can’t do that (which is likely the case) can we merge them and give Jess more Tess? I love her with Nash. I hope the baby isn’t Antonio’s. It’s not like he’d spend any time with the kid anyway. He doesn’t with his daughter so what would be different? Bree Williamson reminds me of the original Kelly, Gina T(a last name I do not care to butcher so I’ll just use the initial)…she looks better as she gets a little older. I love her hair, I love her skin complexion and I wish I had her figure. She does a great job as Tess. She didn’t do badly as Jess, it was just a fairly boring character. I hope Al, I mean Michael, figures out what Spencer is up to and calls him on it. He’s certainly got the kahunas to do it. And can Blair be anymore stupid? Oh, I know Todd’s trial starts but I’m not interested in watching it. Been there, done that. It’s going to be interesting when the Dorian/Viki/Clint triangle starts. These ladies are at their best duking it out. Duke…I say give the guy a new girlfriend. I love this actor. I loved him on American Idol enough that he actually got me to pick up the phone and vote for him. (I do not normally participate in such events. It takes too long and I lack patience.) But let’s face it, there is no chemistry between Duke and Adriana. Rex has that one sealed and delivered. The couple light up the screen and even though she looks about 14, it works. I love Kelly’s hair. My husband loves her figure. I’m not that interested in the story she’s involved in right now. This Kelly isn’t anything like the original Kelly and though I realize that, I still miss the original Kelly. Kevin’s not as snobby as before and almost seems more loyal too so I’ll keep him. There is a commercial here for some clothing store (I can’t remember which) and it’s got a bunch of guys wearing shirts with suits and pants and they keep saying, “Tucked or untucked”. I swear he’s in that commercial, but I haven’t been able to look closely enough. If you have any idea what I’m talking about and know if it’s him, please let me know. I can’t decide whom I want Natalie to end up with. Probably neither of them. I used to love her with Christian but I can’t get past the hair and it’s bugging me. I’ve never been a big fan of John (again, hair is part of the reason) but he’s starting to grow on me. Maybe Al, I mean, Michael. They have good chemistry and he needs someone! GH I can’t wait for Robert to return. I can’t wait for Robert to return. I can’t wait for Robert to return. Did you know I can’t wait for Robert to return? Seriously, it’s going to be exciting, I just know it. Courtney’s gone. Courtney’s recast. Courtney’s dead. Courtney’s staying. Courtney’s recurring. Courtney’s coming back sans victim status. If she is staying and it’s just recurring, they can’t do a whole lot with her but if she’s recast, that is a great time to change her. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Get Lorenzo and Skye together already. They’ve established a friendship; they have chemistry; they respect each other and they’re both great characters that have nothing to do. It’s not that I don’t like Luke and Skye, because I do. But Tony Geary’s only on the show half the time and that just doesn’t work for a solid soap relationship. I like Lulu. She does look like Laura. Which is surprising considering she was a dark haired child. Nikolas also needs a haircut. I don’t know what I think about Sonny and Emily. Honestly, I try not to think about it at all. Could someone please give Lucky a storyline? The guy can act. He’s great eye candy. Grow his hair and give him something to do before we have to get a nununuLucky. Please. I’m looking forward to Manny being bad again. He scares me when he’s bad. Literally. I hope Sam is Robin’s sister. Not sure how that would work out, but I think it would be quite interesting. I like Georgie and Dillon but no young love like that should remain happy forever. They need Lulu in there to create a break up. A good break up. Not just a temporary one. I’d like to see Dillon hook up with Lulu and Georgie star on “Good girls gone bad”. Okay, not really, but I think you get the picture. The jury’s still out on Laura Wright as Carly. It’s just going to depend on where they take the character. TB had great chemistry with Ingo and I would have liked them together but I don’t have a handle on LW just yet.
Have a great
week!
