What do you mean 'would have' ;) Listen, I'm a massive Joan Collins fan but I'm the first to admit that the divine Miss JC doesn't do stunts, never has, never will and you know what? I adore her anyways.

It is amazing that Jeanne Cooper kept the fight scenes going as long as she did. I dare say that, with a little help from a blond stunt woman, Katherine has a few good knock down drag outs left in her!

I've been sooo busy and didn't have much time to write (and the shows bored me) but I am trying again. Anyway, To each their own I guess. I love Amelia as Victoria. I like Heather as well (as Kelly Buchanon), but Amelia just as much. I don't think she brings anyone down (esp when these past few weeks she wasn't even awake in the scenes LOL). I thought she did an awesome job with the waking up stuff, especially when she realized she wasn't pregnant anymore and cried out for her baby. I'll call her Victoria because that's exactly who I see when I watch her on the screen.

It's shocking just how good one half of Wednesday's episode was while the other was horrible. LOVED the Kay flashbacks and Jeanne Cooper's amazing talents. She is the only person who can make Amber tolerable and I wish they'd show some of Amber's many mistakes via B&B flashbacks. B&B showed Y&R flashbacks for Ashley, so why can't Y&R do the same? They've been so lazy with Amber.

One thing I continue to hate is Jill as a supporting character. We get glimmers here and there, but not nearly enough for me. Jess looked amazing in her fierce suit and fur coat.

I hear you about Jill...there are definite glimmers which I think is a big improvement over the lack of anything during the LML reign. Jill is NOT a supporting character, she was never meant to be and never was under Bill Bell and Kay Alden. It was Jack Smith who dropped the ball and nobody has had the guts to pick it back up. Jess has 2 Emmys dammit, give the lady something to do that doesn't involve Cane, Lily, or Amber (I would include Katherine but I'm all for a Kay/Jill feud)

What's sciatica? (I'm slow, I know)

I'm not really a AH fan but I was sorta moved by Fauxtoria waking up from her coma. Especially when she got introduced to her baby. MTS and EB's reactions were what made the scene, though. Like when Nikki had to turn away when Victor took Fauxtoria in his arms.

(And anyway, I love Heather Tom playing Katie Logan on B&B. Love her).

Um, did Gloria kill 101 zebras for her coat? Glo looked more Cruella than ever. And Jana really bugs me. Why is she on the show and Ji Min was killed off? A lot of LML's "creations" still really bug me. Jana being one of them. David Chow and Karen being others. I mean, at least Judith Chapman doesn't care about her character being hated; she plays Gloria to be this hated figure and that's cool. But Jana... David... Karen. Could they be any more nondescript? Like, all this talk about Drucilla just highlights how dull Karen and others really are.

But scenes of the WEEK? Anything involving Kay and Jill. Especially the flashbacks! Awww, Rex! I miss Rex. He was a great pairing for Kay, back when shows weren't afraid of showing women over the age of 50 having a real love interest. And that Jill/Kay antagonism needs to be re-mined, not re-written! I love them as friends/mom/daughter because it seems clear that JC and JW get along IRL. But as deeply hating rival bitches? AMAZING.

Damn, I think those two might be my favorite characters on the show. They have the best whiskey-soaked voices in the business, for a start.

Still hate the Amber-propping, though. What a little brown-noser she is. <_<

This past Saturday night I was watching a rerun of one of my old favorite shows, THE BIG VALLEY, and the episode's guest star was none other than our Jeanne (pre-facelift of course) and it was SPECTACULAR!!! Cooper went head-to-head in a number of scenes with the late great Barbara Stanwyck in a great verbal battle of divas...when I tell you Dame Cooper was ON FIRE as a murderous middle aged woman fighting to recapture the essence of youth as well as the creature comforts of wealth (with Cooper soulfully yelling unforgettably to the hercharacter's dishrag of a husband "I remember when my skin was soft before the dirt and dust hardened it...I want to be a WOMAN again!") I wonder why she wasn't cast on a soap long before 1973!

You know, I found the Cane and Amber stuff touching today and I usually can't stand either character. I Love the set-up of Jill running Chancellor and Nikki running Jabot, there ought to be some fierce bitchy interactions there.

Oh and it's so time to undo Cane as Jill's son. I want Nina and Phillip IV to come back and maybe give Phillip some illness where it would require Kay and Jill to test their blood and we find out that all three are direct matches, which makes Cane the fraud we all know he is. Or maybe just Jill is a match and Kay and Jill are no longer mother and daughter as well.. :D

Also, it's about time Tricia Cast came back....

    • What do you mean?  Sarah told Xander about the drug as soon as she found out about it, and before eating the scone.   She also told Xander not to buy the hospital in March because the impending lawsuits from the sabotaged set of Body & Soul would eventually lower the price of the hospital.  In fact, she called it a money pit at the time, and now she and her daughter stand to make a fortune. Just as, she knew that Philip's claim to the fortune were both fraudulent, and a good distraction to keep Xander from making a bid until the time was right... Even more proof that Dr. Sarah Horton-Kirakis is the true evil genius of Salem.
    • Now what was I just talking about? lol. I was not expecting to see Jacob today.    VERNON!!!!!!! LOL.
    • No Tea. No Shade. Just facts. Oooo...Kat vs Eva...the gift that keeps on giving.   I can't believe we are getting friction between Andre and Nicole. That said...loving these scenes. 
    • LOL!!! We have no reason to think they are not hygienic!!! 
    • Annnnd it's time!!!   Oooo more developing of the Anita story.   Bill and these hand moments.   OOOOOOOOO...it's a Jazmen episode!!!   So Nicole is hitting the anger part of her grief, I see.    Hehe. TIDE sighting!!    
    • -- Kai spends more time in the hospital than anyone I know. I've never seen a patient held back from being discharged like this guy. -- All this concern over Lulu's adoption story is wild. Just what in the hell in that story will upset people? Am I missing something?
    • Except she was the last to know yesterday 
    • While I'm waiting for the new episode to start...let's talk about yesterday's episode.   I honestly really loved it. THIS is what I mean when I talk about how there should be an A story that is dealing with its fallout while the next A story is being built. And then there was even a C plot going on.    The fallout from the Silk Press Sheila/Eva reveal continued. And there were so many elements in play. Beats were being played. And I loved every moment of it. Ted/Eva defiantly going to the country club and being more successful at it than Bill&Hayley. I love that Ted is willing to fight for his marriage. I really want to see where it goes. I didn't like the town gossip, cuz we already have one in Nosy Nurse, but she did keep the tension up. The Nicole/Dani dynamic as sisters being in play...and I'll be in the minority and say that while Dani was Dani, I didn't find her being self-absorbed at all in those scenes. She has already been established as being willing to go there. For herself. AND her sister. So her going in on Ted and Eva was like her. Her dragging her sister out of the house was also like her. No problems. And I can't say how much I loved Jan getting her moment with Silk Press Sheila. Not to mention how much I LOOOOOOVE the showdown between SilkPress and Eva at Orpheny Gene in front of everybody!!!! Giving old school soap. And SilkPress's warning she got more up her sleeve (with a snap) was delicious. And awww at Martin comforting Eva. Kat ain't going to like that.   Speaking of Martin...IT'S HAPPPPENIIIIINGGGGGG!!! Now we are getting words from the night in question. So good to see them FINALLY building out that OTHER A story they started. And good on Martin for backing out from the presidency. I already said I love that the writers found a plausible reason for him to back out. The plot point served its purpose...to get a sense of Martin's personality. Now that he's been built up so we know what to expect from him, no need for it. Moreso since SilkPress's presence will continue to trigger that secret right out of him. Fingers crossed.   And while all that goodness was going on...we got a B plot in the form of Doug/Joey/Vanessa. I like it. It's been allowed to grow. All POVs have been seen except for Joey's really. So seeing him put Doug on the hook officially (so this should be climaxing by end of May then since Doug has one week?) because he wants Doug to move money through Vanessa's business. I continue to wonder where it will go now that I know (and apparently missed it) what Joey's endgame is. I mean...will Doug do it? Will Joey get payback on Vanessa? Or will Vanessa fall into Joey's bed? I feel the show has done a good job developing Doug and Vanessa enough that I am invested in the story. Sidenote...ask and I shall receive aka Dani/Vanessa brief moment at the country club. I really miss them together.    As for the C plot...well...I'm in the minority as well. I actually liked the Ashley/Derek scenes. Not cuz the typical soap himbo scenes...lol...but it was just a nice counterpoint from the other stories going on. And it was just nice to have an episode with A, B, and C stories going on and NOT be jarring and ALSO no quick cuts to another scene. It FLOWED. I actually like Ashley and while her last appearances in solo Derek scenes were DOA, I felt there was more going on. At least this time. It was building on what was already growing...Ashley's annoyance at Derek moving in. Derek...being a typical guy. I am hoping that will go somewhere. And I love that we got another Jan/Ashley scene. At the moment, it's the only thing giving us a clue to Ashley's inner life. That said...I really do want to see her out of her story bubble. There's so much potential with her and her career as a nurse. Moreso given what's going on there.    As for the mysterious stranger...well...I wonder how they are going to play it. Since most of us (but not all so not discussing it farther) know a bit about him.    As for the coda...it is bittersweet now knowing it was Maurice's last scenes. I mean...what do you all think? A nice point for him to stop? We got to see Eva accepting by the father she always wanted to be with since Day 1. Nicole looks on. Quite soapy.
    • I love the thought of Eva becoming this huge celebrity hairstylist, and the future character crossover that can happen with fun cameos, too.
