ATWT: Mexico and Cancer storylines

It's really hard to get involved with these storylines when they only show them once a week. I spend half the show trying to remember where we left off and the rest thinking "if it's only important to show once a week, it can probably be scrapped".

I like the Lucinda/cancer storyline (not that I want Lucinda to have Cancer). However, I did not like that they made all alternative treatments out to be deadly. I would like them to move toward a mix of alternative and traditional treatments. They could not only do a good storyline on breast cancer but on healthy lifestyles in general.

As far as the Mexico storyline...hmm, do I want these people to be found? Do I even care anymore at this point?

GL: Was the wardrobe supervisor on vacation

Whoo--who was doing the wardrobe for the episode on (Tuesday) 9/27? Reva had on a lime green blazer with a blue and red top underneath. Primary colors and neon?!
Then Tammy had on one of those handkerchief-style tops. However the pattern on it was awful and it did not look good on her at all.

BB: Brooke and Nick

You know, Brooke is my favorite character on the show. However, this renewed love for Nick is totally BORING!!! It's almost laughable on how they got the two of them back together. And somehow we are supposed to believe that Brooke is now totally devoted to Nick and now heartbroken he is married to Bridget?!
The writers did the same thing to us when they broke up the Brooke and Thorne marriage. I could get whiplash for how they change Brooke's everlasting devotion from week to week.

GL: Harley as CEO?

This woman can barely manage her life, let alone a multibillion dollar enterprise. Sell your Spaulding stock now.

GL: In the Boardroom

Wasn't it wonderful to see so many women in a corporate boardroom? The outnumbered the men in the room by far. The real progress is that this wasn't a cosmetic or perfume company--but a multi-industrial corporation.

GL: India Delight

Wow! Guiding Light must want me back as a regular and dedicated viewer. They have brought back my favorite GL character of all time--India von Halkien. If only she was here for a long-term stay.

ATWT: Tame this shrew, please

One of my favorite characters on all of daytime is Carly Tenney. I am a huge fan of Maura West. That said, Carly's latest actions make her very unlikeable. In the past, Carly has lied, cheated and schemed. She is a master manipulator. However, she was never mean. That is why it is so hard to understand Carly's nastiness toward Gwen. Why is Carly becoming such a shrew?

GL: Something about Ava

It seems obvious where the Olivia-Ava-Billy storyline is going. If we are talking about a Something About Eve approach, I cannot wait to see Olivia take on Bette Davis. Hang on kiddies, it's gonna be a bumpy storyline.

YR: Putting the P back in PI

On The Young and The Restless, JT was recently trying to convince Mac to join him in the PI trade. However, JT forgot that PI stands for private investigator.
Victor tells JT that he wants to speak to him later about a job. A few minutes later, JT is asking Nikki about the job. Very confidential JT!!!
Paul is supposed to be showing him the ropes. And I am sure that several of Paul's cases are divorce investigations where husbands invetiage wives (or vice versa). Eve if not, part of his training has to be confidentiality which includes not only keeping client cases secret but the client list itself.
