AMC 

Here we go again with the Kendall and Ryan thing.  Which only leads me to believe we’re also getting a Dixie and Zach pairing too.  I’m not sure I like that idea.  No, I don’t want Tad and Dixie together again.  The truth is, I like a little variety in my couplings.  Enough of the same old stuff…give me something new and different.  Nothing against the die hard fans of certain couples but isn’t the idea of a soap supposed to be the drama of love and life?  How many couples do you know who actually break up and make up repeatedly? Okay, don’t answer that.  

Is it me or does this Annie chick bare a striking resemblance to Ryan’s most previous wife?  

Is anyone going to agree with me about Josh looking a lot like Tom Cruise or am I the only one who sees it.  

Is the whole goal of this Lily and  Jonathan break up specifically designed to make Jack look like a bigger ass? Because if so, it’s totally working.  A man who once was totally devoted to the love of his life, finding that fine balance between her crisis of the day and his own family has now become an over-protective, obnoxious and selfish jerk.   I don’t like Erica but recently found myself rooting for her when she called Jack on his current lack of giving a shit about her life.  If I start to feel empathy toward  Erica Kane, something’s not right.   

Explain to me how it is that Fusion can be even remotely successful.   

I have to admit, I really like the pairing of Babe and Kendall.  The two have a lot in common, yet are very different personalities.  I can see them becoming best friends without even realizing it’s happened.  Kendall needs a friend and even though her sister is coming back (apparently there’s a lot of competition in Los  Angeles, huh?) it’s always better to have a best friend outside of the family.  

Speaking of Binks’ return…why? I’m just asking!  

Ever notice how when a couple gets divorced in real life, the woman usually looks great and the man seems to look worse for the wear?  There’s one particular actor on AMC going through a divorce that needs to take better care of himself now that he’s on the market.  

Now that it’s more than obvious Babe and Josh are going to hook up, what does that mean for JR? Will we see the drinking and murderous attempts again or will he deal with it all nice like?  I like nice JR but I think there needs to be a bit of nasty JR too just to balance things out.  

I still don’t like Colby. And apparently no one else does either.  

OLTL 

How great to see Blair give it to Spencer!  

And  I have to agree with Sage, isn’t Bree Williamson doing a great job with the mixed character scenes?  One second she’s Jess then the next she’s Tess.  I love it.  When she winked at Nash the other day  I smiled.  Great effect.  My  heart’s going to break when Nash realizes Tess is gone.  Actually, my heart’s breaking already because Tess is gone.  I  really liked the character and it just goes to show it’s often not the actor but the character that makes an actor look bad.  No worries though, we’ll have  parts of Tess in Jess so hopefully it’ll be the fun parts and we’ll have a new  Jess.  Plus, we all know what’s going to happen.  Jess will have all of Tess’s memories and they’ll flood her and soon enough she’ll be unable to stop thinking about Nash (who can?) and they’ll hook up.  Antonio will  go all nuts on us and be  Angry Antonio again and all will be right with the world.  Okay, only  if Antonio leaves PA, but one can dream, right?  

I still think Trevor St.  John is hot. I like the longer hair much better though.  What’s up with that? I’m suddenly going for longer hair on men.  (Because I go for so many men, being married and all).  I’ve even been forcing my husband to grow his hair longer. Withholding sex sure has a lot of power!  

I do not see or feel any chemistry between Evangeline and Christian.  And every time I say her name, it reminds me of Matthew Sweet. (If you get that connection, I’m very proud of you!)  

Natalie failed her CSI exam.  Whoda thunk? 

The whole Adriana’s been kidnapped thing is getting O-L-D!  Speed it up folks, speed it up!  

Asa’s coming back and I’m thrilled.  I hope PC is okay.    Personally, if I were him and I read what Nancy L. Grahn said about not wanting to shave her head and such,  I’d have flown to CA and spit on her bad foil job.  Tact is not her middle name. 

Okay, come on, I know I’m going to get blasted with emails for that but let’s be honest here…how many people in the US currently have or have loved ones who have cancer?  And what are the odds that at least half of them watch ABC soaps and read the mags?  Think about it people, what she said was not even CLOSE  to appropriate.   If you’re a fan, that’s great…write her a letter and tell her to shut the F&%! Up.   

I have decided that Blair is running a close second for Biggest  Boobs on the show.  Ain’t it obvious who’s in first place?  (or is it first and second with Blair in a close third and fourth?)   

Please God, make someone comb Rex’s hair. Please. We’re not watching the Brady Bunch are we?  

GH 

I thought Tristan Rogers signed on for a year?  

Lulu is pregnant.  Like we didn’t see that coming.  But what a great twist with the condom problem and the owners of the condom company being the Q’s?  Love that.  Also love the way the story is playing out and the way each actor is responding.  All around so far, so good.  

I really, really like Laura Wright as Carly.  They’re obviously changing the character (less bad, more good) and that’s not entirely a bad thing.  The triangle starting is going to be entertaining but likely, she’ll end up back with Sonny and that’s a bummer for me.  I like Carly and Jax.  Actually, Ingo has had chemistry with each Carly (except JB who I can’t count what with her being the all psycho Carly and such) and it’s nice to see him with a character that doesn’t seem flat to me.  He and Courtney never worked in my eyes, probably because the actors didn’t get along well in real life (or so the story goes.) 

I don’t believe the rumor about JJ coming back as Lucky (or even as someone who thinks he’s Lucky, etc.)  If it were true, that would be great but the fact is, he’s so involved in other projects right now, he wouldn’t commit to any long term deal.  I know he’s got some things coming up and he’s always just below the lead so eventually the talent this guy has will hit some producer over the head and he’ll be the next leading man on the big screen.  And I’ll be right front and center.  I love JJ. He’s got class.  

Sage is right. Maxie is a whore.  I’m happy to say I’m glad RR is gone.  She is far too classy to play Maxie this way.  Boy, if I’m not careful, someone could read between the lines in that sentence huh? 

I still think it’s funny to watch NL and TC together on TV.  Knowing they broke up and seeing them together in  CA, (the tension was obvious) it cannot be even close to remotely comfortable for the two of them to act together.  And if the characters get back together, I’m almost certain their kisses won’t have the intensity they did a few years back.   

I do not like the drug addiction storyline at all.   

Loved how Liz convinced Benny’s brother  (I can never get his name right) to leave her there alone.  One question, I’m pretty sure they had sex in Brenda’s room, not Jason’s yet when she pulled open the drawer, it wasn’t Brenda’s room.  

And why oh why do we have to keep saying Brenda’s name?  She isn’t coming back!  Stop saying her name and sticking her face all over the soap rags.  It drives me nuts!  

Love Edward. Love  him.   

On a sad note, I feel terribly that Steve the Croc Hunter passed away.  For what it’s worth, he died doing something he absolutely loved and if you’re going to go, that’s gotta be a lot better than any other way!  

Have a great week,
