I am in love with Nathan Horton. He was so great in his scenes with Melanie today. Phillip can't hold a torch to him.

The rest of the show didn't really get my attention. Everyone found out that everyone kissed everyone else. And that's about it.

Tomorrow looks more promising.

Hello, I am Ann and I am Victor's bitch. He says these horrible misogynistic hypocritical things and I barely react other than in laughter. I blame John Aniston. It is the dry sarcastic way that he delivers his lines that make me react differently than if it was Maurice Benard (Sonny on GH). I loved how Victor kicked out Justin and tore a strip off Hope. He can be so hard and unforgiving. I do love how he supports her through it all.

I can't stand women like Carly, "oops, I didn't mean to say." Please. I can't stand the game playing. She should be straight up tell Bo what she knows about Hope and Justin and admit that she wants him. At least, Vivian drops her news without batting an eye.

What with Bo's strange face at the end? He knows that he is thrilled that Hope is macking on Justin so he has an excuse to sleep with Carly. I'm so sick of Bo and Hope. When they reunite, I hope Days has the good sense to ship them out like it did with John and Marlena and Patch and Kayla.

It was so funny when Stephanie torn up Nathan's bail papers and told the cop that his grandmother can bail him out. We'll see how long Stephanie's self-respect lasts.

I found Nathan begging Melanie pathetic, but hey, if it turns him on.

THANK YOU! There is something about Carly that I find so pathetic. It's like Vivian needs to slap the hell out of her, the Xanax'd "oops, I didn't mean to say" bullsh*t is driving me nuts. Get over yourself Carly, it's getting old, fast. There's something about Crystal Chappell's face that isn't right, her Botox injections have been done too liberally, her eyes lack expression and I can tell that her dermatologist has injected Botox around her nose to reduce 'bunny lines'...the problem is that it's affected her mouth.

Vivian Alamain/Louise Sorel is all sorts of fantastic. I really prefer Vivian the devious, sinister, bitch instead of Vivian the comedic punching bag. I'm not saying she shouldn't have her moments of levity, but Louise Sorel is so much better when she's playing Vivian straight. The flashbacks to the Buried Alive storyline (particularly when Vivian throws herself on Carly's grave and laughs hysterically) illustrate how skilled Louise Sorel actually is as an actress and how formidable a character Vivian can actually be. Just so the dermatologic score is even, Louise has had one helluva facelift, but she needs a tiny little bit of filler in her lower lip, otherwise, for nearly 70, she looks terrific.

Mark Hapka is a real find. He clicks as Nathan, just as Jay Kenneth Johnson clicks as Phillip, the same for Molly Burnett as Melanie. I don't know how I'd accept a recast for any of them (in Jay's case, he's the only Phillip I've ever taken seriously).

Unrelated from this week, but let me just say that I think Kate and Stefano are AWESOME. Lauren Koslow and Joe Mascolo are perfect together. There is this odd sense of romance between them, Koslow tends to have great chemistry with everyone she's been paired with (hell, she made Josh Taylor's Roman tolerable) but with Moscolo there is this sense of sadness, but it's a romantic sadness. It's as if Kate and Stefano know that, deep down, they need each other and because no one else in their lives need them, they hold onto each other tightly.

I really enjoyed yesterday's show, what with the hearing and everything. I like the way it's being structured. I'm really wondering what's going to happen to Nicole. And what's in store for EJ after this. There are so many places the story could go, and I think that makes it really exciting.

    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
