What is in the pipe that Nick is smoking?! Why would Brooke want to fire Eric and/or Ridge. Even Thorne for that matter.
This is no time to start from scratch, let alone take the Forrester out of Forrester Creations. And, as we have seen, your company is only as good as your latest designs--or designer.

Who's the Daddy Month!
Well, a month or so ago we had "Teen Marriage Month". Now, we are on "Who is the Daddy Month" which will lead to a battery of DNA tests (Daddy Not Aware).
We will abbreviate this soap phenom as WTD (who's the daddy).
Y&R: The big, decade long Neil/Dru/Malcolm WTD comes to a climax as Neil finds out that Lily is not his biological daughter. On the same episode, Phyllis finds out she is pregnant, leaving us with a Nick/Phyllis/Jack WTD.
B&B: Well, if Brooke is going to sleep with two men in less than 48 hours a Ridge/Brooke/Nick WTD is sure to follow.
GL: Lizzie's WTD has been discussed in prior posts. Soon to follow, the Gus/Harley/Mallet WTD (see B&B post above).
ATWT: I think folks would like to make Emily's a WTD pregnancy. Some will speculate that Em slept with Henry or molested Dusty. On soaps a woman will miscarry if she falls out of a chair. Yet, Emily jumps off a cliff, is not breathing/no pulse, yet fetus survives. Which only proves it has to be Paul's baby: only a STENBECK could survive the jump from the cliff!!!
AMC: Fans are speculating that given Dr. Greg's history, the true paternity of Kendall's baby could be up in the air.
OLTL: There is the Antonio/Jess-Tess/Nash WTD, though not a new development.

BB: SORECEOS--Nick as CEO of Maronne
Yes, you too, can be a CEO! First Harley on Guiding Light and now Nick?
Nick as CEO?! Please...
The only thing Nick can run is a boat aground.
I guess maybe he can get pointers from Brooke on how to run a company.
He has only been in the company offices for a few years. But, alas, maybe we are seeing a new soap phenomenon. It is similar to SORAS, except it is SORECEOS--Soap Opera Rapid Experience to CEO Syndrome!

ATWT: Luke comes out to Will
There have been many complaints that there are two teen storylines but they never intersect. Well, we got instant intersection yesterday with Luke and Will's conversation. Even though the writers reminded us how they used to hang out when they were younger, we haven't seen them interacting until yesterday.
And of course, that is the day/time Luke comes out of the closet.
That said, Will gave Luke very good advice. I hoep he has a heart-to-heart with Holden and Lily and kicks Jade to the curb.

BB: Stephanie has lost her mind
Whoa! Stephanie is out of her ever lovin' mind if she thinks she is being reasonable when asking Dante to sign over his child. There are so many holes in what she is saying.
Stephanie called Dante's actions untenable. Yet, her asking him to sign over his parental rights defies reason and logic.
Stephanie said that Dante should think about what is in the best interest of the child. Yet, how is not having a father not in his best interest.
Stephanie said it takes more than one night to make a father. Yet, from the time Dante has found out he was Dino's dad he has stepped up. And the "more than one night" thing could apply to Felecia, too.
Bridget was right. Stephanie needs to interfere in her children's lives and Felecia is handy and, for the moment, needy.

GL rocks the Emmys
Wow! Guiding Light really took over in the acting categories. They were represented as follows:
Female Lead: Kim Zimmer as Reva
Female Supporting: Gina Tognoni as Dinah
Male Supporting: Jordan Clarke
Male Younger Lead: Tom Pelphrey
CBS took 5 out of the 6 acting categories when Jennifer Landon won Younger Female Lead for her role of Gwen on ATWT.

Emmy Comment: Who picked the order
Well, I didn't completely hate that the Daytime Emmys were not in New York this year. I could have done without all of the fan stuff outside the ceremony. It was just fluff to fill the extended show (from 2 hours to 3 hours), which could have been better used to present additional award during the telecast.
Speaking of presenting awards, who picked this order. Did ABC know who the winners were and thus stacked to end the evening on a GH high? Leading Female is one of the biggest awards of the night (more so than Male lead) and was bumped up to the first half of the program.

Daytime Emmys: All the Experts
Now that I have finally finished posting my picks for tonight, I thought I would venture out and see what other experts are picking. We seem very agreed in some categories and not in others.
Here is a link to all the experts picks.

Here is a link to all the experts picks.
http://www.thesoapgoddess.com/Expertpicks.xls
2005 Daytime Emmys: Outstanding Series
The most exciting category of the night. Here are the nominees and the episodes they picked:
As the World Turns – Episode#1 Les terrorizes Lily and Carly and is revealed to be Julia's killer. Episode#2 Gwen and Jennifer go into labor at same time (beginning of baby switch).
General Hospital – Episode #1 Train crash Episode #2 More post-train crash drama, a few episodes after the first.
Guiding Light – Episode #1 Reveal of Alan as Philip's "killer". Episode#2 Sandy and Tammy's wedding.
Young and the Restless – Episode #1 Cassie dies. Episode #2 Lauren and Michael's wedding reception and the beginning of the Phyllis/Nick affair.
As the World Turns has a nice package in the first episode. There is no cliff-hanger and stands alone nicely. The beginning of the baby switch (as opposed to the conclusion) is quite a choice—but you see the beginning of the storm that is about to unfold and how it ties to many storylines.
General Hospital's episodes are heavy on special effects, which make for a win in directing but a crutch in series and maybe the reason why they are overlooked for writing. The good is that they use EVERYBODY in these episodes, which showcases some of the great acting talent that they have.
Guiding Light has a better second episode than first. This can work in their favor as it leaves the voter with a good "taste in their mouth."
Young and the Restless: pass the Kleenex, please.
Who will win: Young and the Restless
Who should win: Guiding Light
Guiding Light should win just on that beginning when the minister asks "does anyone object". The use of flashbacks from various characters' point-of-view is great. When this episode originally aired everyone was on the edge of their seat to see what would happen. And to eliminate the "Ew" factor, I don't believe it is mentioned that Tammy and Jon are cousins in that episode.
However, Young and the Restless has a killer first episode. The second episode is great in that it begins the Nick/Phyllis affair—however if voters are not full-time viewers and don't realize that impact….
Who could win: General Hospital could pull it off if there are a lot of male viewers who love the special effects that cloud over the actual story. If they do win, and after winning last year for the hotel fire, GH viewers should expect some major catastrophe each year, which will lessen their impact for viewers but be great Emmy bait.

2005 Daytime Emmys: Directing
Another category where I came in thinking Y&R was the definitive winner. They always have great camera angles, put together great shots for some of the great editing they do later. But, who knows….
Here are the nominees and the episodes they picked:
Bold and the Beautiful – Episode#1 Christmas episode where Felicia's baby is christened. Episode#2 Nick confronts Bridget on a bluff about her supposed abortion; Stephanie dares Brooke to shoot herself.
Days of Our Lives – Episode #1 Belle goes into labor, aftermath of Sammie and Lucas' interrupted wedding. Episode #2 Frankie returns, Mimi in Jail, Belle torn between Shawn and Philip.
General Hospital – Episode #1 Train crash Episode #2 More post-train crash drama
Young and the Restless – Episode #1 Cassie dies. Episode #2 Lauren and Michael's wedding.
Bold and Beautiful picked a location shoot—extra points for degree of difficulty.
General Hospital's episodes are heavy on special effects which make them more difficult to direct. Possible bonus points.
Who will win: General Hospital
Who should win: General Hospital
GH will probably win for special effects alone, something that should cause them to lose in the drama series category.
Who could win: Young and the Restless is consistently good, but the judging is just on the two episodes presented.
Here are the nominees and the episodes they picked:
Bold and the Beautiful – Episode#1 Christmas episode where Felicia's baby is christened. Episode#2 Nick confronts Bridget on a bluff about her supposed abortion; Stephanie dares Brooke to shoot herself.
Days of Our Lives – Episode #1 Belle goes into labor, aftermath of Sammie and Lucas' interrupted wedding. Episode #2 Frankie returns, Mimi in Jail, Belle torn between Shawn and Philip.
General Hospital – Episode #1 Train crash Episode #2 More post-train crash drama

2005 Daytime Emmys: Writing
What makes good drama—good writing. It's the "if it's not on the page, it ain't on the stage" mantra. Oddly enough, two shows that are in contention for Outstanding Drama are NOT in the running for outstanding writing.
I came into this category thinking Y&R was the definitive winner. They always write stories that reach out across storylines. It is one of the things that make them a ratings leader. But, will it make them an Emmy winner? Again, they are judged on two episodes alone so it can be anyone's game.
Here are the nominees and the episodes they picked:
As the World Turns – Episode#1 Jennifer and Gwen go into labor at the same time; Episode#2 Dusty realizes Meg's role in the Jennifer/Gwen baby switch.
Bold and the Beautiful – Episode#1 Stephanie and Brooke gun episode; Episode #2 Christmas episode where Felicia's baby is christened.
One Life to Live – Episode#1 Rex finds Jennifer's body, Vikki tricks David and Dorian into getting together. Episode#2 Lindsey deals with Jen's death, Dorian and David start an anonymous online relationship.
Young and the Restless – Episode #1 Daniel is arrested as Cassie is barely hanging on to her life. Episode #2 Consecutive episode where Cassie dies.
One Life to Live should have picked the Daniel as killer and gay reveal. It was really strong and was the culmination of great story. The first episode was good, but the second was all over the place.
As the World Turns could have picked the baby switch culmination also, instead of the pseudo-culmination of the Meg/Dusty reveal. The former had strong acting which can only help their strong writing.
Bold and Beautiful should not have picked the Christmas episode. Those are always so contrived—although if you are looking for sappy, this is your episode.
Who will win: Young and the Restless
Who should win: Young and the Restless
I cry every time I watch the Cassie dies episode (and I had to watch four times for Emmy picks plus the original airing). Y&R picks two consecutive episodes that make it easy to follow the storyline. The second episode is stronger than the first, which is something the other shows did not accomplish. Like the other shows, Y&R start big. Unlike the others, they end strong.
Who could win: As the World Turns is a perennially favorite in this category. And, in the back of my heart, I would not mind if home-girl Jean Passanante brings home a win.

2005 Daytime Emmys: Younger Male Lead
Will the voters give Tom Pelphrey the Emmy he deserved to win last year? They have been known to try to make up for prior mistakes. Another strong contender is Jesse Soffer; his only negative is that one episode is almost entirely with Jennifer Landon who is so great she outshines him. Scott Clifton gives good blend of humor and drama but nothing overwhelming. He scores big on versatility, but low on strength of any one moment. Michael Graziadei's reel is too short for any type of lead consideration, even if it is younger lead.
Scott Clifton (Dillion, GH) - Dillion fights with Georgie and deals with Lucas admitting he's gay; Dillion blames himself for Michael's death.
Michael Graziadei (Daniel, Y&R) - Daniel reflects on Cassie's hospitalization and his role in it; Phyllis visits Daniel in jail and gives him new hope.
Bryton McClure (Devon, Y&R) - Devon worries about his dying mom; Devon catches his mom buying drugs in the park.
Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan, GL) - Jonathan lashes out at Reva, cuts his hair with a knife and realizing Dinah faking her pregnancy; Jonathan goes to see Tammy the night before her wedding to Sandy and pushes her to admit her true feelings for him.
Jesse Soffer (Will, ATWT) - Will blasts Gwen for having taken money from Paul; a jailed Will denies having poisoned Iris.
Who will win: Tom Pelphrey
Who should win: Tom Pelphrey
Tom Pelphrey can play Jonathan very strong sometimes and makes you wonder if it is overacting or just his take on Jonathan. It should not overshadow all the other great stuff on his reel. My only question on this is: will they play the theme song from Guiding Light he wins or will it be the overplayed Unbelievable when they call his name?
Who could win: Scott Clifton and Jesse Soffer also have good tapes.

Daytime Emmys: Supporting Male
Oh they love the dual roles, so Tyler Christopher does have a chance. However, I am not sure he picked the best episodes he could and could confuse voters. Trent Dawson proves he is more than a clown this year and picks two episodes that show range. Jordan Clarke has always been awesome, but really broke our hearts when he fell off the wagon. But, never rule out Greg Rikaart to repeat.
Tyler Christopher (Nikolas/Connor, GH) - Connor rapes Emily; Nikolas reels as Emily says she no longer loves him.
Jordan Clarke (Billy, GL) - Billy falls off the wagon; Billy fights the urge to crack open a bottle of whiskey.
Trent Dawson (Henry, ATWT) - Henry tries to convince wife Katie to leave him for Mike; Henry faces off with Olga with BJ.
Grayson McCouch (Dusty, ATWT) - Dusty tries to gently reject Jen's advances; Dusty blasts Meg for keeping silent about the baby.
Greg Rikaart (Kevin, Y&R) - Kevin deals with the death of his abusive dad; in therapy, Kevin addresses his feelings for Mac and anger towards J.T.
Who will win: Trent Dawson
Who should win: Jordan Clarke
Trent shows diversity and the voters seem to like that, especially in supporting roles. His comedy shows vulnerability, his dramatic moments show humor. However, I believe Jordan Clarke should win because you can just feel his pain, his embarrassment—he takes you on the ride.

2005 Daytime Emmys: Male Lead
Ahh! The Lead Male Actor. Somewhat of an anomaly in the female-dominated world of soaps. Which leads to the question: can you have a "lead" male or all they all really supporting? The exception to that question is always General Hospital where almost all of the storylines are driven from male characters (ya know, mobsters, rapists). And that soap brings us the two strongest contenders.
Maurice Bernard (Sonny, GH) - Worried about Michael and Carly, Sonny confesses to A.J.'s murder; Sonny convinces Carly to get professional help.
Anthony Geary (Luke, GH) - Luke sings to a comatose Lucky; Luke begs Lucky to come out of his coma before taking him off of life support.
Robert Newman (Josh, GL) - News of Reva's supposed pregnancy leaves Josh reeling; after angrily urging Jonathan to be a better person, Josh warns Reva that he might not always be there for her.
Ron Raines (Alan, GL) - After paying a visit to a very much alive Philip, Alan is arrested for his murder; Alan confesses to Philip's shooting.
Thorsten Kaye (Zach, AMC) - Maria and Zach say farewell; Zach stuns Kendall and himself by admitting that's he falling in love.
Who will win: Anthony Geary
Who should win: Anthony Geary
Two outstanding episodes from Mr. Geary will garner him another win. Like his female version in the lead category (Susan Flannery), Anthony Geary is the standard bearer of consistently good performances (even if I hate his character).
Who could win: Never rule out Maurice Bernard, but his tapes were not as good as Geary's.
Maurice Bernard (Sonny, GH) - Worried about Michael and Carly, Sonny confesses to A.J.'s murder; Sonny convinces Carly to get professional help.
Anthony Geary (Luke, GH) - Luke sings to a comatose Lucky; Luke begs Lucky to come out of his coma before taking him off of life support.

ATWT: Oakdale Confidential is bestseller
According to the writer of Oakdale Confidential, the book will be ranked at #3 on next week's New York Times bestseller list. (BTW, the NYT list always seems to be weeks behind actual sales.) The book debuted on the USA Today bestseller list at #15 this week. It has consistently be ranked on Amazon's top sellers list.
Way to go ATWT!
Now, let's all guess on whose bones (them bones, them bones, them dry bones) are in the basement. Anyone? Anyone?

GL: LIzzie's pregnant
Since soaps can be known for slow-moving storylines, I am amazed at how fast this one is moving along. First, that Lizzie is pregnant and she is realizing it.
I can't remember when she slept with Coop, but in the Lizzie Inside the Light on Wednesday she stated she slept with Jon on 4/10. There is NO WAY you would realize you are pregnant, have symptoms, and consistently test positive 9 days after conception. Pregnancy tests are making leaps and bounds but still the best only work a day or two after a missed period. If she was ovulating on 4/10 she wouldn't have even had a missed period yet. However, this should be good news that Coop, and not Jon, is the father.
Also moving along, in such a Lizzie fashion, is the purchase of baby furniture. She is like 2 minutes along in the pregnancy and she is buying baby stuff. Whew. I know if I was 19-20 and found out I was pregnant, I would still be in denial, not be in Babies R Us.

GL: Ewww, gross Ava!
Why was Ava allowed to work in a restaurant without having her shoes on. I believe they aren't allowed to serve people without shoes (No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service), so why was this allowed to happen. It was distasteful and I can't believe they kept mentioning it.
And, in the end, when Lizzie stole her shoes they were high heel boots. What kind of waitress wears high heels to wait tables. Well, besides a strip club waitress. Company is more "burger joint."

ATWT: Step Away from the Carly
What is up with Nick?! He really needs to stop sniffing around Carly. She has only brought him trouble and will now only bring him heartache when he finds out how she and Jack will never really be apart.

GL: Ross' plane crash
Well, a few weeks back on an Inside the Light we find out that Ross (who's portrayer Jerry Ver Dorn has been over at OLTL for months!) has died in a plane crash. This week, it is being investigated as a possible murder by the FAA--and subsequently the Springfield PD.
Back a fefw weeks, Alan-Michael and Alan discuss A-M's secretive dealings with Ross. Well, perhaps "discuss" is too comprehensive--it was more like mention. So, somehow Spaulding and A-M will be tied to this investigation.
However, something Alan says at the funeral makes me wonder if Ross is actually dead. Alan stated something along the lines of "Ross being up their with his son, and Ross's nephew, Philip". Uh...does Alan know something we don't? After all, we and Alan both know that Philip is really alive--something the rest of Springfield is not privvy.
Just looking for hidden meaning.
