BB: Amber's non-preganancy

This storyline has been good as it revealed the answers to some questions left open after Amber's miscarriage a few years back. However, it just proves that Stephanie really needs to get a life. If she isn't nosing around in Ridge's relationships, it's Ridge's son. I would think that with all Thorne is doing to bring this to her attention, Stephanie would be changing her ways.

GL: The JB and Tammy thing

Really ,writers. What was the point of pushing it so far that cousins JB and Tammy slept together? The kissing was bad enough, but this?! It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't Tammy's first.
And the most sickening part is that Reva "center of the GL universe" is the reason Jonathan/JB did this. For revenge against Reva.
Growing up, my father always said soaps are "too much drama". And this time it might be true--drama for drama's sake. Not for good storytelling.

ATWT: Lucinda and Jordan

Hmm..this Jordan working for Lucinda thing has me thinking...
..what if Jordan is Lucinda's son?

Remember back when David Stenbeck was introduced. James Stenbeck tried to pass him off as Lucinda's son. Lucinda didn't find it an improbability and thought it possible until proven otherwise. Now, we have shown that Joran is Stenbeck's son. But who is the baby's mama?

Things that make you go, hmm...

GL: Would someone please shoot Philip now..

And put him out of everone's misery?!

ATWT: Old Hal/New Hal

Randolph Mantooth is once again replacing Benjamin Hendrickson as Hal Munson. He did the same when Hendrickson needed a leave a while back. However, all signs point to this as a permanent recast.

I like Randolph Mantooth. I liked him when he was on Emergency! back in the early 70's. He is a good actor, seems to understand the role of Hal. I just think this will take some getting used to--an adjustment. Probably within a year, I will forget there was a recast.

B&B: Brooke's Back!

I don't see where this is going (or I don't see exactly how Brooke is going to help the Forresters keep Thorne at bay), but the ads make it look good.

If you haven't seen it, go to:

Brooke's line of "let's put the focus back where it belongs---on me!" is so classic.
