GL: Who killed Philip Spaulding?

GL has so many storylines going--make that so many GOOD storylines going--that we have kinds a lost sight of the "who killed Philip" mystery.

Of course, Beth has been acting suspicious which should eliminate her from contention (the writers couldn't possibly be that obvious, could they?)

The thing is--everything else has been so riveting that you don't even notice the lack of addressing this open issue the past few days.

BB: Bridget and Ridge, part 2

Why, why, why are we going down this road again?

It was sick and stupid the first time and hardly watchable this second time.

That said, I do find it laughable that Ridge thinks he can help Bridget get over him. Hmm...the last person you need to help you get over someone is that person, right?

YR: Will Ashley ever learn

Will Ashley ever learn? How many times does this woman need to be kicked by, trampled over, and dealt a bad hand by Victor Newman to realize he is a sh*t.

Ashley could you please be a strong woman if only because you represent such to so many viewers?!

ATWT: Henry and Katie--you're kidding me right?

I still sit here with my face scrunched up. This may be a permanent state after hearing Henry's "confession" that he loved Katie.

Is it just me or is this just lame, lame, lame storyline?

Here is why I think this is bad:
1. Henry and Katie were one of the few platonic male-female friendships on the show that didn't even hint at crossing over the friendship/lover line. Why spoil that?

2. Isn't Henry supposed to be gay? And if not, why can't he be? I know it's daring for daytime to cross certain lines but come on--it's 2005. If you want to be diverse, be truly diverse.

3. It puts an unneeded four-way chink in the Katie-Mike story.
I can only hope that this is just Henry being silly and seeing this as a way to a) put Jenn at ease at what Henry is doing and b) make Mike realize his feelings for Katie.

What do you think?
