ATWT: Stormy Weather

Really? An ice storm in September?

My initial thoughts on this:

1) they are going the GH-Emmy route by using a "disaster" to have material to submit
2) they had a good story, but couldn't sit on it until it was actually somewhat plausible (like November sweeps)

I would buy this "ice storm in September" story, if they once commented on WHY there was an ice storm in the first days of Autumn. I would buy a story ala "The Day After Tomorrow" where ecological systems run amok. But, so far, no explanation. Which is just soooooo irritating.

Perhaps one good thing will come out of this and Jade will blow away in the storm.

BB: Am I the only one hating Thorne and Taylor

I am now starting to believe the only reason they killed of the quirky Darla is just to get these two together. I used to love Thorne "my wife isn't quite cold in the ground but I am hot for Taylor" Forrester. One of my favorite times on BB was when he and Brooke got together.

However, I am not getting this paring at all. Sure, there will be drama once Thorne find out his beloved Taylor killed Darla. But, Taylor and Hector made a more likely pairing and more compatible couple (two fallen "angels"). Now, Hector is just this caricature of his former self--always angry and always manipulative. Where is the sweet firefighter?

The other bad thing about no more Darla, is that we are not likely to see much of Sally or Clark. Both, characters from the early, early days. I guess now that there is no more Spectra House of Ripoffs, we have no more use for these characters.

All Shows: Rabbits are dying everywhere!

What a surprise that ATWT's Jade and BB's Bridget are pregnant! It amazes me that they write storylines like Katie trying to get pregnant and everyone else gets pregnant after one night of sex with someone that they shouldn't be having sex!

But, the fact that it is on almost every soap, shows how overused this plot device has become. Let's see we have Lizzie on GL. I will excuse Y&R and Phyllis since her and Nick were together more than once. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if Carmen ends up preggers after her night (day--really) with Jack.

Who others are offending us with this re-tread story?

ATWT: Carly and Simon

First, let me state (or remind you) that I love Carly and Jack. They are my all-time favorite soap couple, let alone my couple to watch on ATWT. This week their divorce was final.

However, they have moved toward pairing Carly and Simon together. The last we saw on Friday, the two were headed toward the bedroom.

When CBS began to hint about this in their promos (a month or two ago), I admit I was intrigued. Carly and Simon have the potential to be as bad (that's the good kind of bad) together that Carly and Craig had. This could make for an interesting pairing.

ATWT: Luke's Wardrobe

I've been wondering this for months. Does Luke share a wardrobe with Steve from Blue's Clues?

Back among the living

I can't believe I haven't posted for over two months! I posted more during my summer class than I did afterwards.
The Goddess got a bit distracted by swimming pools, golf, and some very interesting municipal government happening in my little burg. And, related to my city government chaos, I was setting up two related websites and blogs to that situation. Oy!

Now, on with the really important stuff....my soaps!
