Two for One Tango Lessons

ATWT and GL, both Proctor and Gamble productions, incorporated a tango in the past 2 weeks. Makes me wonder if P&G wrangled a 2-for-1 deal on the tango lessons for the actors.

CBS, please pick up the pace

Oh my...my CBS stories are getting a bit boring. Even the Brooke and Ridge wedding didn't have fireworks. I expected Stephanie to come in with an Uzi not tad bit tipsy.
ATWT has not a storyline that I care about happening at this time. I guess that might be with no Katie and no Carly on screen. While the budding romance with Paul and Roseanna could be interesting, it is too bogged down in the Steinbeck storyline.
GL is making too big a deal out of the Gus/Harley "trust" issue since we viewers KNOW that Gus is lying to her/covering for his families involvement in drug dealing. It could be a good storyline if they just didn't use the word "trust" in every other sentence. We see where this is going, you don't need to cram it down our throats.
I thought summer storylines were supposed to be the best. Yet, it is July and I can't make myself watch my shows this week. I see promise on the horizon:
BB has the Forrester showdown: Ridge vs Thorne
ATWT has the blooming romances. They just recycling the old "pregant by the wrong man" storyline (Jessica and Doc) and the Dusty/Lucy coupling is plain unbelievable. (Hello?! She just graduated from high school!)
GL could pick up the pace by showing more of the Philip vs Oliva storyline, especially when viewers are questioning which side of the fence Bill will land. I can even tolerate the teen storyline--as long as Lizzie eventually gets hers.

GL: Michelle's amnesia

Wow! She really is a different person with amnesia--actually has some funny lines. I guess this is probably great for the actress who plays Michelle to have something meatier.
However, this storyline brings up questions I always have with the amnesia plot:
Is this really how amnesia affects people?
How do people remember the small things (like how to drive a car) but don't remember people or events?
Would someone remember seeing a movie or its plotline but not remember the details behind seeing the movie?

ATWT: Katie and Simon

No, no, no...
I want Katie to forgive Simon. He just wanted her back and wasn't sure how to go about it. It is not Simon's fault that Pilar was a nutcase.
I like Katie and Mike. I just love Katie and Simon. (And of course, I love looking at Simon so any and all screentime for Simon I am for!)

GL: What is up Phillip's ass?

I cannot believe how mean Phillip is being to Olivia. I would prefer that the two get back together (well, they are married so I guess I should say I wish they would have a real marriage).
However, if that cannot happen I hope Olivia gives it to him good! His daughter, Lizzie, is crazy and Olivia is only trying to protect herself and her daughter. Phillip is blind to Lizzie's manipulations--hopefully it won't be at the cost of harm to Olivia or her daughter.

Bold and Beautiful: Ridge is the baby daddy!

I am thrilled that Ridge is the father of Brooke's baby. I was even more thrilled that they were getting back together regardless of the parentage, but this is just the whipped cream on top of the sundae!

Bold and Beautiful: Brooke and really natural childbirth

I cannot seem to recall Rick's birth, but I do remember that both Brigette and Hope were born at the cabin. Thsi new baby was born at Brooke's house.
Thus it seems that Brooke doesn't ever get to the hospital for her births. The good point is that her labor seems to be real short (or is it quick?).
