Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke's Wedding

Oh, the wedding day I have been dreading, as I am such a Brooke and Ridge fan. However, they have done this in a very interesting way.

I have really enjoyed Stephanie's flashbacks on Brooke and her previous weddings. Side note: Yeah, the Kristen I liked is back on BB, although it was humorous in one of the flashbacks they showed the old Kristen who was brunette.

I am not enjoying Ridge's attempt to break-up the wedding. This is ONLY because I feel as if this will backfire on him. This Maya chick is probably truly someone they do business with (my guess is she is a madam in the far east and provides hookers for the Marone fleet's merchant marines when ashore).

So, the likely outcome is that Ridge will be embarrassed that he was wrong and subsequently completely give up on Brooke.

ATWT's Katie and the return of Simon

I just love Katie. Not as much as my girl Carly, but I love Katie. I really don't have a favorite man for her to be with, just like to see her with someone good and with a great storyline to match. Thus, I am not caught up in or torn over the Katie and Mike vs Katie and Simon thing. (Ahh...what's a soap without a love triangle or two?!)

The return of Simon was a shock! However, I empathize with Katie and also wonder if he is back for good or just for a few days. I kinda hope the former as Paul Leyden, the actor who portrays Simon, is very easy on the eyes. And ya gotta love the Aussie accent.

CBS and their new tag line

On Monday I noticed during the "intermission break" for ATWT that CBS has a new tag line, which they used in place of the World Turning and the "As the World Turns will continue after these messages" announcement. They showed pictures of the various stars, not unlike the current opening credits, with the tag line "The Look That's Got You Hooked".

No, the good writing and storylines have us hooked! Now, don't get me wrong, I love looking at the handsome men (especially w/o shirts) and the women's fashion as much as the next soap fan, but the look has little to do with why I come back each and every day.

Now, c'mon CBS. You have the #1 network for Daytime Drama. You just won an Emmy for writing via As The World Turns--the third in four years! Yet, you think the look has us hooked? We will only tolerate pretty faces who can't act or have nothing to work with for so long.

I can only hope this is just a summer promotion thing.
