BB: This explains a lot about Stephanie

The current storyline for Stephanie is really great. I think it explains a lot about why she resorts to violence when she gets angry--and boy does she get angry often. How many times have we seen Stephanie slap, punch, pull a gun on a multitude of characters? Just a while back, she kneed her husband in the groin!

That aside, there are writing this story very well. I like how Stephanie excuses it as "that's just how parents acted in those times." It should make for great discussion if they could extrapolate the storyline to some of the younger kids on the show (Thorne's daughter, Brooke's kids) in how they address discipline. What great debate you could have between the "spare the rod, spoil the child" crowd and the "never, ever hit a child crowd."

Bonus: Susan Flannery got some great stuff just in time for the Emmy deadlines at the end of this month!

ATWT: What is this recast?

Explain to me again: Is Jeffrey Meek the recast of Craig Montgomery or James Stenbeck?
