Fraternity Row Cancelled!

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
I can't get enough of this show. Fraternity Row is on and Llanview residents are glued to the television set. My favorite fan? Closeted fan, Clint! I am literally LOL! He tells Viki that it was criminal that FR didn't win an award last year. Ya think? Art imitating life...LOVE it!

Clint and Viki kiss! Yes!! Then he has to go and mess things up by bringing up Kim's name.

Noelle is back on. Everyone in the Buenos Dias is watching FR too. She talks to Shane about heading to Paris, Tx soon to enter the pie contest. Her pie is named after Gigi. I guess she will be running in to Gigi and Cutter, because they just walked in to the BonJour cafe.

Cutter covers his ears when the Bon Jour waitress speaks about Fraternity Row. "Shhh Shhh! Don't tell me. I'm going to watch it tonight on SoapNet." HAHA! 

Rex and Aubrey find their way to the prison to talk to Kim. FR is even on in the visiting room...lol. Kimmie still looks good in her inmate jumpsuit. They must allow hair products and make up in her cell. She agrees to tell him everything about Stacy and Gigi if he helps to prove her innocence.

Starr is enamored with Fraternity Row. Jack says it was better when Ruby Bright was on, because their cousin Megan played her. You know how I love history ;-)

Roxy, Shaun, Destiny, and Rama are freaking out over the lovers on FR possibly being related. Roxy defends the plot and points out how the story of Eternity, the underground city, was hated. But it is now considered a great story. Ahhh! Did I mention that I'm loving this?

I remember rushing home and being glued to the screen to watch my soaps. I am getting a kick out of Llanview residents being as eager to watch their favorite.

To Roxy's horror, she gets her issue of Soap Opera Weekly with the headline "Fraternity Row Canceled!" Did anyone else catch the smaller headline? New Prospects In the Park for Soaps. Ahhh....that one stings a bit =(

DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Christmas prep on the show today! I love tradition =)

Victor Kiriakis gets an ornament on the Horton Christmas tree! Julie said she never thought she would see the day. Neither did I, but I'm glad it's here.

Tom/Alice flashback! Jack/Jen flashback! Alice giving him his own ornament. I remember that ;-)

Please stop forcing Daniel and Melanie on me! They should not be part of the Horton Christmas traditions! They are surprised to see Jack there? Jack deserves to be there more than the Jonas two. 

Even EJ managed to Christmas-tize the Dimera mansion. Much to Nicole's delight.

Ok, I am glued to the television with this "new" Will! Witnessing his mom getting it on with EJ has transformed him in to the old Sami. Only more likable. His outburst in Maggie's kitchen last week shocked me. I also gasped when he poured liquor in his drink today. Hold on to your seats, because this is going to be good!

Will is NOT holding back his anger towards Sami. The smirk on his face when Carrie surprised her with Marlena was great! The tree trimming party at Sami's place is getting a little dramatic. Will is in her face when she yells at Marlena. He calls her out on her hypocrisy and everyone is in shock to hear him speak that way. He toasts to Rafe and Marlena for being "Saints." "You have to be a Saint to put up with all of her crap." He calls her a bitch and says that make him a son-of-a-bitch. OMG! I am giddy! I love this drama!

ARRGGGGHHHH!!!! DAMNIT! Daniel and Melanie get an ornament on the Horton tree?? That sucks! I can't stand this. Melanie is too holier than thou and I can't stand her clinging to Maggie. UGH....what an ugly part of a great episode.

I Let the Cat Out Of The Barn

Matthew knows he's going to be a father! He's quickly back to his bratty self when he blames Nora for making him become a father. LOL! I can't help but laugh. A bratty Matt is better than no Matt =) Mom responds with "Maybe you should've thought of that before having unprotected sex!" YES! You tell them Nora!

Todd is so childish around Viki. It is hilarious! He covers his face and refuses to take a phone call from John. Too funny! I wish Tina was thrown in the mix.

Clint and Viki!! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss Darn it!

Big mouth Roxy spills the beans to Natalie about John still loving her. Can she ever keep a secret? LOL.

Stupid Natalie has to go to the station and be bitchy to John. Can't she just accept that he loves her? He was being respectful by not telling you that all these months. Idiot!

Roxy almost interrupts a loving moment between Clint and Viki, but stops herself. She refuses to go 2 for 2 in messing up couples today. Oh Roxy! I'm gonna miss you =)

**BTW, Days of Our Lives is still kicking butt! I'm just in a bit of a soap depression since last week so I haven't been in the mood to blog much.

Do You Forgive Me?

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Brody is owning up to wanting Victor dead, but says that he did not kill him. Damn! I didn't necessarily want it to be Brody, but I don't want the killer to be Todd. Brody is making me feel really bad for him. He even asks how Nigel is doing. Then he asks John to forgive him. Ok...when Brody started talking and crying about losing Shane, Ryder, and Liam, I teared up too =( Poor guy. But I like John better so I'm over it =)

This Todd and Tomas stuff is boring me. Blah Blah Blah...Todd claims Tomas shot Victor. I smell a set up....

Starr isn't too happy to hear about mommy choosing to be with Tomas over Todd.

Beautiful scenes between Tea and Dani. Tea lets her know that she will have another brother or sister.

After Gigi-face stops Cutter from killing his momma, Alex wants to make up for running out on him and Kim. She starts by helping them sneak by Aubrey and Rex.


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
More EJami greatness. Those were some intense scenes! More brilliance from Ali Sweeney and James Scott.

Will walks in on his mom and EJ! OMG! This is not going to lead anywhere good. I'm having flashbacks to a young Sami walking in on John & Marlena's affair. That created the scheming Sami that we know. Should we expect Will to go down that same path? I hope so ;-)

Sami FINALLY listens to her messages. She and EJ find out Johnny isn't dead. The look they give each other before rushing out the door gave me chills. They know that they made a HUGE mistake.

Emmy-Worthy Performances on DAYS Today!

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Tea finally lets her brother know that she is pregnant. Tomas is overjoyed for her =)

Todd sets up Tomas. I must admit that I am not liking this story right now. I'm tired of focusing on those Federal Agents gone rogue.

Brody's sister, Nadine sneaks up on him and Liam. He decided to use his childhood home as his hideout for now. John is on to him. He sends the local police over to the home, but Brody and Liam hide. I was keeping my fingers crossed that little Liam would cry. I guess it can't end that easily. Brody decides to take off somewhere else with Liam. He opens the door and there is John and Natalie!

Cutter calls out Alex as his mother in the Brazilian office. With a guilty-as-sin face, Alex denies that she is that person at first. Then she owns up to it. Aubrey mention. Gigi face is confused since she doesn't know Kimmy is the real Aubrey.. Wasn't Aubrey your lover? Alex freaks because she thinks she left a trail of incest behind...LOL! OMG! Too funny! In typical Alex fashion, she puts the blame on Cutter for being a difficult child. She said he lived up to his name because he would get scissors and cut up her minks...lol. Cutter flips and begins to choke the life out of mommy dearest.

So if Kim is Alex's daughter, then she and Clint were once step-siblings...LOL. Only on soaps ;-)

I'm so sad that today is the last day of taping for OLTL. I really really really hate Frons and those jerks at ABC!


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
5 minutes in and I have goose bumps! Allison Sweeney, James Scott, and even Chandler Massey! They are kicking some major butt as Sami, EJ, and Will. Massey came out of left field for me. Only weeks ago I was bored to tears with him on my screen. Look what a good story can do!

Bo and Hope are so emotional about the possibility that Johnny is dead. They are taken back to when they lost Zack.

The news mistakenly reports that the body IS Johnny. Marlena, John, Carrie, and Austin are devastated. Luckily Bo and Hope show up and let them know the truth. John decides to call the Judge and enter a plea of guilty to keep his family safe. He and Austin make amends and Austin agrees to look after John's family while he is in jail.

Rafe and Will think Johnny went back to the pub. With a little help from Ali, they find him hiding inside. That kid needs to be grounded for life! LOL.

Mom and Dad still don't know the boy is safe and sound.

The reaction from EJ when he heard the false news...wow! JS really looked like he was going to pass out. His shock turns to rage. He is literally foaming at the mouth as he berates Sami. JS and AS are physically attacking one another! OMG! This is so intense. In the middle of all this rage Sami begins to think...more like hope...that EJ took his son. But EJ isn't guilty of kidnapping...this time. This leads to more anger, more hate spewing, and more slapping, and pushing. Which, if you know EJami, leads to hate sex! (well, I think the sex part will be on monday).

Give James Scott and Ali Sweeney an Emmy NOW!!!

Wasn't She Doing The Walk of Shame?

ONE LIFE TO LIVE

There is a super pregnant Destiny! Big Bro is taking Lamaze with her. He is disgusted by Destiny's breakfast choice of a chili cheeseburger and onion rings.

Good for OLTL for showing us Shane as he found out about Brody kidnapping Liam. He fills in Aubrey about his kidnapping and how Brody used to be his dad. History! Use it and you can't go wrong!

Clint and Viki are in the nursery with Ryder. They are discussing Liam and recent events. After Shane shows up, we see Mr. Buchanan bond with his grandson.

Roxy is taking care of injured Nigel, the family's first "transponder." LOVE it!! Rox complains about the amount of healthy food in Viki's kitchen. "So much tomato juice. Is there a ball coming up?" Ha! Shout out to the Go Red Ball! Talk about the old Nigel/Roxy pairing makes me smile =) =)

Ford and Jessica find out the news. Jessica is feeling sorry for Brody and blames herself. The head to Llanfair to be with the family. Leave it to Roxy to deliver this line "Wasn't she doing the walk of shame?" ROFL!!

Alex Olanov!! She is in the Brazilian doctor's office raising hell with everyone. What do ya know? Cutter recognizes her as his MOTHER!!! YES!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Ok, Will...you are becoming interesting. He goes to apologize to John and Marlena for Sami's tirade. This actor is really stepping up in this story. He looks truly distraught over Johnny's disappearance. I'm liking this A LOT!

Sami rips into Rafe. She does nothing to ease his guilt. She does the opposite and puts the blame on him, John, and Marlena.

EJ and Stefano! EJ accuses Stefano of not caring that Johnny is missing. Stefano reminds him that he lost a son, Tony. Stefano loves Johnny more than life itself...and this viewer can see that. I can also see the rage in the Phoenix's eyes when he vows to make someone pay if they harm a Dimera. 

Bo and Hope deliver devastating news to Sami before she hears about it from the media. A body was found that fits Johnny's description. 

OMG! I can't wait to see Friday's episode! The previews look amazing and heart wrenching at the same time. I have a feeling I will be raving about the performances of Mrs Sweeney and Mr Scott in my next post.

Why You Should Be Watching Days of Our Lives

So I totally HAD to post a blog about Days Of Our Lives on it's own. This show is KILLING it! Days was the first soap I ever watched. It was the soap that made me love all soaps. It used to be "can't miss" television. However, sometime after the 90's it became a chore to watch. In fact, I had removed the show off my DVR  in recent years.

After the devastating news about my new favorite soap, One Life to Live, I decided to give it a try. I added it back to my DVR list, but I still pressed fast-forward for a good chunk of the show. Not anymore! This new "revamp" of my once favorite show has been nothing less than SPECTACULAR!

John, Marlena, Bo, Hope, Austin, Carrie, Jack, Jennifer, Sami, Stefano, Roman, Kate, Brady, Maggie, Victor, Abe, Lexi, Justin, Adrian! Sound familiar? Sound like the DAYS of old? Well it's the DAYS of new! All these veterans (all original....or semi-original....actors) are involved in front-burner stories. Super Couples are still Super Couples. The "evil" families are still "evil," but you can't stop yourself from rooting for them (yes it is possible). Days got rid of most of the boring, non-acting teens. They kept the offspring of the Dimera, Brady, Kiriakis, Deveraux, Horton, and Carver families. YES! YES! YES!

They have put family vs family in the John storyline (ala Bernie Madoff)  as well as the Mayoral race. Abe Carver vs EJ Dimera? GENIUS!! EJ's plan to make a better name for the Dimera family puts him against his sister Lexi, Abe's wife.

There are not many new characters on canvas (which is a good thing). One new character, Madison James (played by the fabulous Sarah Brown) is promising. Probably because A) She is NOT being shoved down our throats and B) She is working with established characters like Sami, Brady, Victor, and Kate. I hear Madison will be getting a visit from someone in her life. And that someone will be played by another fabulous actor, Ian Buchanan.

I can go on...and on....and on.... I didn't even touch on Nicole, Will, Daniel, Sonny. I'm intrigued by a gay storyline that I am hearing about. Another story that will encompass multiple established families.

With the loss of so many soaps, we need to support the ones we have left. Some are harder to support, because they...um...SUCK! But I'm not naming any names...LOL!

Some soaps are a joy to watch. Some are MUST SEE TV! Right now I only see 2 soaps that fit that category. DAYS and OLTL.

I am holding out hope for OLTL to live on. Either way....whether it's to ease the pain of losing OLTL or to just add another show that is up to their standards...Give DAYS a shot! Try it! You will not be disappointed.

DAYS IS WHAT SOAPS SHOULD BE ABOUT!

I see plenty of Happy DAYS ahead.

Dang DVR!

I was out today. My daughter had a Thanksgiving program at school. I came home to watch OLTL and DAYS, but my dang DVR didn't record them for some reason =( I will have to set it again for SoapNet. Hope it records while I'm out. Hope to have a new post up tonight.

Anybody Still Up For A Wedding?

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Jessica and Ford almost made it to the bedroom. Darn that baby toy..lol! After a super sweet talk, she leads him in to the bed. They are really falling for each other =)

Clint is furious about Brody. Tina feels sorry for him because she knows all too well about messing up. Then she goes into old Tina mode by complaining about all the work she did for the reception that is no longer. It's interesting watching all the wedding guests react to the events. Bo put it best when he said "Will this family ever have a calm, normal wedding? At least no one has pulled a gun." ROFL!

Come on Natalie! You should be running out that door! Roxy really needs to convince you to go stop John before he leaves? After a mini-breakdown, she and Rex rush to the airport. Ugh oh Rex, Gigi face is at that airport! And of course he gets a glimpse of the face.

Did no one wonder where Brody disappeared to? Please leave poor Nigel alone.

Tears in my eyes for John. I love that character =) So happy he knows he is a daddy now! The happiness doesn't last too long. As soon as John gets to the nursery to hold his son, they discover an unconscious Nigel and a missing Liam =(

Cord!!! Tina!!! Cord drops down to one knee in the church and asks Tina to marry him....right then!! I LOVE Clint's face. Shaun and Nora are placing bets on whether or not the wedding will happen. A quick phone call to Dorian gets the Roberts' an instant marriage license. BRILLIANT!  Roxy is such a hoot hiding her flask in the church flowers..LOL!

Cord and Tina use Brody and Natalie's rings. She says he can get her a "nice BIG diamond" later. They are pronounced husband and wife!!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Kate asks EJ the obvious. Did the Dimeras put out a hit on John? The answer is no. The shooter is a disgruntled police officer. The same officer who beat up John in his cell.

I know I said it yesterday, but I will say it again. Allison Sweeney and James Scott are bringing it! They are on point in their outbursts, gestures, facial expressions, and anguish.

Madison is panicking about a super important business meeting. She can't get Brady or Sami to return her calls. When Brady tells her about his nephews disappearance, Madison cancels the meeting to be with him.

Kate extends an olive branch to Sami. She brings her food to keep up her strength. They talk about raising     boys. Kate even attempts to distract Sami with a "good 'ol cat fight." LOL! They both had a little chuckle over it before Kate encouraged her to not lose hope.

Roman, Rafe, and EJ start to believe that Johnny was kidnapped.

I love how DAYS is taking the disappearance of Johnny Dimera and making the story hit almost every character on the show. THAT is good writing!

Throw in a little bickering between Kate and Madison! Today's show is rocking the house!!

I Was Your Dad for About 5 Minutes

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Talking Liam and Talking David Vickers the dog! I know a lot of people find it cheesy, but I LOVE it!

Jessica and Ford are coming up with a plan to get their own DNA test done on Liam. They end up in a lip lock. They are so good together. OLTL did the impossible. They made me start to really really like a Ford brother. I hate that they will not make the move to PP.

Roxy speaks up during the ceremony, but gets stern eyes from Rex. She chickens out and lets the ceremony continue. UGH! So frustrating.

Tina finds the dog and the baby....AND the DNA test!! She bursts in to the church seconds before Natalie says "I do!" AHHHH!! I am loving these scenes. Brody's face as it was all going down. He literally looked green in the face. Then he tries to get Nat to ignore the tests. FINALLY Nat gets a clue and realizes that this is what Victor was holding over Brody's head. She lays into Brody and his eyes go from scared/panic to BUSTED! He has no choice but to spill all. Starting with the Marty tape that was found when Gigi died. After Nat rejects him, I see crazy stirring around in that man. Watch out!

John and Liam!!! He loves that little boy =)

Crazy Brody shows up in the nursery. OMG!! I can't get enough of this show!


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Little Johnny is missing. EJ and Sami are losing it! James Scott and Ali Sweeney are bringing it today! Nicole talks EJ down and convinces him to hold it together, work with the police, not against them. Aww...we get an Ejami embrace =)

John is feeling super guilty. I guess he should, because Sami is FURIOUS at John and blames him. She throws out the fact that technically he is not even related to them and expresses anger towards Marlena too. She claims to be able to count on EJ more than her own mother. I hate that her little boy is missing, but I LOVE the old "attack dog" that is Sami!

Roman and the police get a lead and track down a possible shooter.

I hit fast forward with all of the Jennifer/Daniel scenes. I didn't want to hear more of the same 'ol stuff. If I missed anything important feel free to fill me in.

I like how DAYS shot this episode in real time. They showed the digital clock sever times and it matched the exact time the show was airing.

What Jessica Said Is True, You Nitwits!

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Nice family moment between Rex and Clint. Clint asks his son to walk Natalie down the aisle. Great gesture, but not needed. Dorian emails Viki with good news. Even though she hates Clint, she pulls strings to get him permission to attend the wedding.

Jessica and Ford are really really growing on me. I say that a lot, but every time I see them together I like them even more. Sucks that Bree Williamson is leaving =(

Brody is searching for doggie David Vickers. What the heck is he planning on doing? Killing the dog so he won't reveal the secret?

Roxy wants John to be her date to the wedding..lol. Someone on Twitter said she would be an awesome drunk tweeter...LOL. Ain't that the truth!

Poor Princess David Vickers. She is trying to tell the "clueless humans" about the paternity test! ROFL! I swear this show has me literally laughing out loud daily =) After she goes missing Cord tells tina something we are all wondering. "Haven't you heard of a leash, Tina?"

The wedding begins. John starts to leave. Jessica decides to tell John about the paternity test. And DV the dog goes in search of the test. OLTL knows how to do cliffhanger Fridays!


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Jen and Hope are still trying to find out who Alice was making payments to over the years. They find a clock that is engraved to Alice mentioning the bond she shares with whoever gave it to her. Underneath is the Dimera crest. This could get interesting.

Who is that lurking around spying on Marlena and John? If I didn't know any better, I would SWEAR that the eyes looked like James Franco. But we all know he is GH's pride and joy. However, DAYS would do a much better job with James Franco in my opinion!

Everyone is gathered at the Pub in support of John before the trial begins. Even Sami shows up. John is being a good grandpa, running around and goofing off with the kids. The mystery guy shoots up the pub. Multiple shots and lots of screaming. After all the chaos, suddenly little Johnny is missing.

Big reveal....EJ set up John. No surprise that it was a Dimera. But I'm surprised that it wasn't Stefano. Stefano didn't even know how he did it. I have a feeling that someone else is responsible for the shooting. At least I hope EJ wouldn't do that now.

You Kept Your Clothes On This Time

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Natalie! You are taking time out from your wedding day to see John. Get! A! Clue! You are marrying the wrong guy. Ugh...John is breaking my heart. I haven't liked Natalie much lately, but this scene is taking me back to the early days of Jolie. The way he looks at her gives me goosebumps.

Brody is an such a jerk! He is being horrible to Jessica. Talking about her being crazy! Umm...Pot, Kettle anyone? It sounds like he wants her DID to come back. Be careful what you wish for Brody. Tess will kill your lying self!

Eww....ghostly Irene is back. I hate her. She taunts Todd in to telling Blair he loves her. Too late! She is upstairs getting busy with Tomas. Ghost mama does her best to convince Todd to eliminate Tomas.

Jack's fire is in full blaze. He finds out about Vimal and Rama being in the building and rushes over to save them. I have to admit that I'm feeling a little sorry for Jack. He's just a stupid idiot kid. I thought the writers would try to make him likable, but this arson thing isn't doing him any good.

There is Starr and Nate's music video. I must agree with porn guy....that video was lame. I love the song! Rick wants her next song to be "Jailbait"...ROFL! "I'm your Jailbait, and you are my Cellmate." This porn guy is hilarious! He delivered this "You put out a sexy steamy video or One Life to Live is CANCELLED!" OMG! OLTL kills me! "Then it is the end of One Life to Live. Which is not what I want. I love One Life to Live!" They do NOT lack in the humor department.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Nicole has divorce papers for EJ. I totally forgot that they were still married. She wants his signature but will hold off on filing until the election is over. We will see if that ever happens ;-)

Austin and Carrie finally find a place to stay. Rafe is more than excited to have the place back.

Madison convinces Brady to visit John. I'm happy to finally see the father/son bonding. Daddy gives son advice about Madison. He wants Brady to "go for it!"

BTW...isn't Brady an alcoholic? I sure hope that was non-alcoholic beer he was having with his dad.

Is that any way to greet your favorite uncle?

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Tea spills about her pregnancy to Todd. He thinks he can ease his guilt by looking after her. In the meantime, he is determined to stop Tomas from ruining a possible reunion with Blair.

Tomas has another sketch of Blair in the living room. Obsessed much? Delgado decides to break in to Todd's safe. Where did he get that iPhone app? Who knew there was an app that can scan a safe and reveal the combination? Too funny!

Neela is smitten with Jack. She is smiling ear to ear. I think he is a little more tolerable with her. Neela tells Rama that Jack is the man of her dreams. Sorry honey, but your prince charming is stocking up on matches and copies of The Sun. That can't be good.

Viki tries to get the judge to allow Clint to be at Natalie's wedding. He finds out about the possibility and gets excited. Too bad the judge denied the request. Viki is so awesome =) The joy on her face when Tea told her about the pregnancy gave me goosebumps. Of course Erika Slezak can do that to me. She and Florencia are superb!

"Blair you look horrible!" DAVID VICKERS!! Oh how I've missed him =) He and Blair immediately start with the insults and the comedy. He was sent by Dorian to make sure Blair voted for her and to make sure Todd stays out of her life. LOVE how OLTL keeps Dorian in these stories without Robin Strasser being on. David's presence backfires and Blair heads out the door to find Todd. The congresswoman calls her hubby and what else can he do but lie..LOL.


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Morning-after awkwardness all over the place =) Well, maybe not that awkward with Ej and Nicole. They bicker a bit and then give in again! I really like Ej with her. This coming from a former Ejami fan. I think this might be my new favorite Days couple!

Madison and Brady, on the other hand, are not going for round #2..lol. Apparently they were wasted the night before and Mad remembers NOTHING. Brady leads her to believe they had round #1 before he finally confesses that nothing happened...HA!

Maggie is given away at her wedding. Justin officiates and they are now Mr. and Mrs. Kiriakis!

One line, or two?

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Jack and Neela are kinda cute. Poor Neela doesn't want to be turned in to a "baby factory." Vimal is freaking out! He thinks she was kidnapped and will be sold into slavery. Rama talks some sense in to him and tries to make him realize she probably met a boy.

Sam is so adorable. He calls Tea his Second Mom =)  Ewww....Sam finds the pregnancy test stick and is playing with it. I hope it was clean...LOL! Never understood these soap women walking around with used pregnancy tests. I find that weird....maybe it's just me.

Aww...Todd says Sam is the closest thing he has to a friend. The little one is making Manning feel guilty for killing Victor. I know he really didn't kill Vic. I refuse to believe it!

John gives Bo his 2 weeks notice. He says he wants to live closer to Michael and Marcie. Especially now that she is pregnant again. Bo knows it is all about Natalie. He allows John to leave the job immediately. Oh no!

Stupid Natalie won't listen to Jessica! That sneaky pup, David Vickers. Why did he have to go and hide that DNA test? Nat went off on her sister. Stuff like this makes me hate Natalie! She is so dumb! Get your own test and prove Jess wrong if you are so sure she is lying. Keep telling yourself that you will have a happily ever after. That won't make it true! P.S. Your wedding dress is ugly!

YAY!! Tea is pregnant! Prospect Park, I am BEGGING you to get TSJ back. Please! Please! Please!

Oh Hell No!! They have started the Revolution ads. Time for them to try and shove another show down our throats. ABC...you suck!


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
UGH...I can't stand Melanie! I wish she would shut up and think about Daniel's feelings instead of her own. I'm still annoyed that she is Maggie's granddaughter. Oh well. Daniel gets confirmation (by text..lol) that he is definitely Maggie's son.

Maggie and Victor are getting the final preparations complete for their wedding. She asks him to inform her of any secrets he might be hiding before they say "I do."

Jack is having flashbacks from his days in captivity. Looks like he suffered during that time. Jennifer talks/sings him back to reality. Lots of beautiful words to Jack. I love the old J&J! Daniel who?

The bad weather in Salem is causing some couple to get stranded. Late night at the office for Brady and Madison will turn in to an all night session. The campaign strategy meeting between EJ and Nicole promises the same =)

Nic freaks about being stuck at the Dimera mansion. EJ teases her about not being able to trust herself around him. HA! Ain't that the truth =) After endless complaining and attacks on EJ, he shuts her up with a kiss. Predictably (in a good way) she doesn't push him away and they start tearing off clothes.

Successful daytime talk shows, completely obsolete

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Vimal's sister shows up. Turns out she is a runaway. She is looking for a boyfriend who is a rich, wavy haired, ambitious, strong-willed American. In walks Jack! Maybe he needs a love interest. Let's try to make him likable =)

Marcie!! She talks a little pregnancy with Destiny and then tries to talk some love sense into John. Marcie is so genuine.

Ford, Jessica, Liam, and Princess David Vickers are adorable. Where does OLTL get their babies? They are the cutest little things on TV! I wonder what they will do with no Bree Williamson at PP? My wish is to recast with Erin Torpey. Who knows....

OMG! I love Todd so much! Talking to Jack about all that has changed in 8 years. "Successful daytime television talk shows, completely obsolete!" OLTL does not hold back and I LOVE it!! Our sneaky Manning swears to Jack that he did not kill his "father." Nice way to not lie to your son Todd..lol.

Tea and Dani are a good mother/daughter match. They even look like family. Destiny stops by talking about pregnancy and Tea gets a look in her eyes. Oh Please!! Let there be a Victor/Tea baby in her belly.

As much as I loathe Natalie and Brody together, I LOVE any buildup to a soap wedding. Throw Roxy and Tina in the mix and the entertainment never stops. Tina shares her wedding story to Natalie. The one where she was going to marry Max, but said Cord's name at the altar. Roxy reminds us that she was married to Max. Now THAT was a crazy pairing!!

Natalie's dress is blah....not "wedding" enough in my opinion. But I like traditional cinderella gowns. Like the one she had when she married Cristian (if my memory is correct). Roxy tells her that the gown she wore when she was going to marry John was better..HA!

John "I swear Roxy, I'm getting a restraining order." Roxy "yeah, like you'd be the first." We need Roxy at PP. She is a riot! Hell, I want everyone to make the move to PP!

Nat is trying to practice her vows in the mirror but can't say Brody's name. John appears in the mirror! OOHH....goose bumps. This is reminding me of "old" Jolie. I love them when they first got together. As you can probably tell from my post...I love almost everything OLTL!!


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
As most of us predicted, Rafe is now working with Carrie to prove John's innocence. Sami and Austin will FLIP when they find out. I know Austin/Carrie/Sami are a bit "been-there-done-that" but I don't care. I think this will be good. Sami is a different Sami this time. The Sami/Rafe pairing is a serious one and Sami isn't trying to break anyone up. None of the 4 are trying to break the other couple up. This love triangle (or square) will be different....I hope ;-)

Bo and Hope have a beautiful, intimate vow-renewal ceremony. Still going strong after all these years!

I like how Chad used his last name to make the college kid spill about gambling on their website. I recognize that actor from somewhere. I'll have to google him.

Days of our lives lands Ian Buchanan

Great News! Soap Opera Digest is reporting that Ian Buchanan has joined Days of our Lives. His character, Ian McCallister will be tied to Sarah Brown's Madison!

I can't wait!!

She liked me! She really really liked me!

Sorry I didn't post about yesterday's shows. I was exhausted from Halloween and had a ton of cleaning up to do. I did watch while I cleaned =)

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Clint, Tina, Viki, Todd, and Cord! All in one room. Even though it only lasted a little while, I LOVE you OLTL!!

Clint is all broken up over the fake letter from Kim. Cord is there to listen, but suggests that it is Viki that Clint really loves. Cord tells his Pa that he slept with Tina. Clint seems more upset about that than about Kim...LOL! Cord believes Tina's claims to turn over a new leaf. "...Until someone flashes some cash in front of her face" points out Pa.

We finally get to see Destiny! The pregnant teen is ready to give up on school. Nora lends a hand and helps Destiny with her essay.

Tomas is investigating Todd for Victor's murder. Blair accuses him of doing this because he is jealous of Todd. News flash Blair! "Not everything revolves around you!" YES! Go Tomas!

Tea is contesting Victor's will. The judge denies her. The will leaving everything to Irene is still valid. Since she is dead, everything goes to.....TINA CLAYTON LORD ROBERTS!!! Woohoo! The victorious Tina quietly sits and says "that seems fair." I don't know about "fair" but that sure seems entertaining =) Roger Howarth's face as Tina contemplates running The Sun is priceless! Then he finds out her dog is named David Vickers...LOL!

Awww.....Tina decides she IS going to change for Cord. She refuses the inheritance and turns it all over to Todd. Her brother and sister thank her and the 3 Lord siblings have a bonding moment. After which Todd sneaks over to Tea and insists she make Tina sign something before she changes her mind...ROFL!!

Cord runs out to find Tina. Viki spills about her good deed and the former marrieds kiss! I've said it before, but I'll say it again.....I LOVE you OLTL!!


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Kate and Stefano are giddy about the thought of bringing down Madison, Victor, and Brady. Whoever created this couple is a freakin genius! I love an evil pair...hehehe ;-)

Abe and Lexi go visit Papa Dimera and his wife. Stefano insists he had nothing to do with the John situation. He then asks Abe to drop out of the Mayoral race. He offers to pull strings to make Abe the Governor instead.

Sami has a big problem with a Brady/Madison pairing. Madison overhears and puts the nosy Sami in her place! She keeps her nose out of Madison's business or she's fired! OUCH!!

Bo and Hope rummage through Alice's boxes and find a mysterious picture of a baby. A baby they do not recognize. There goes the camera zooming in on a photo in the Dimera mansion. It's a match!

**How 'bout the BIG revel yesterday? Henderson urges Victor to confess to Maggie that he arranged for Daniel's mother to get Maggie's eggs! EEEKK!

A Cookout with Carlo Hesser

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
"The day I'm too old for free candy is the day I'm dead." LOL! I love Todd =) He wants the family to Toilet Paper the Buchanan house together. Little shark Sam is super cute, even when he is calling Todd "scarface." The cutie remembers Marcie and Michael calling him Tommy. He and Todd agree that Victor was a good dad because he would make people give him candy.

Todd asks Jack-o-lantern Blair if she wants to make out. OLTL is too much! I can't stand how awesome it is =)

Clint is hating on Ford. Shouldn't he hate on Brody even more? Brody is the bigger villain in my opinion. Ford sticks to his guns and Clint agrees to a truce =) I am loving Clint more and more lately. His stubbornness is fun and endearing. OLTL is doing a great job making him the new Asa.

Clint's softer side is just as important as his stubbornness. Much like Asa, he sure knows how to win over a woman (even when he's not trying). Going down memory lane with Viki melts my heart. We were almost treated to a kiss. Maybe next time...

Jessica and Ford bring Bree to the party for a minute. Poor Bree. First she thought Brody was going to be her dad, now he is marrying her aunt.

Clint and Tina finally kiss! She tells him he is the world's worst liar. And she knows this because she is the world's best! Looks like she is right. He gives in and things are about to happen in the hay.

The Halloween party is hilarious! Roxy and Tina fighting is a RIOT!! Roxy accuses her of speaking "phony French" and calls out "where's Dorian when we need her!"

DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Victor, Bo, Hope, Maggie, Jennifer, John, Marlena! Days sure knows how to write for their vets =)

Maggie tells Vic about Daniel being her son. Vic finds it hard to believe since he knows the parents and has known Daniel all of his life. PLEASE don't let him be behind all this. I know he has a little something to do with it, but I hope it's nothing major. Nothing to ruin his relationship with Maggie.

Daniel isn't as thrilled to find out about his parentage as Melanie and Maggie are. Kudos to Days for making this real (well, as real as egg stealing can get..LOL). When someone finds out their parents are not their parents, they will probably be upset. There shouldn't be an instant embrace and acceptance of the "new" parent.

Abe recognizes John in his costume. He urges him to go home and agrees not to turn him in for skipping out on his house arrest (how he did that...I'm not sure). I have a feeling that decision will come back to haunt him in the campaign.

Nicole gets introduced to Madison. She's a little jealous about her closeness to Brady, but surprisingly Nic is mature about it. Brady, on the other hand, vows to "break the son-of-a-bitch" in half if EJ hurts Nicole. LOVE IT!

When Michael met Britney

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Stacy/Gigi is sickened to think she was so obsessed with Rex. She is sounding more and more like Gigi. Cutter convinces her to go to the party. Did I sense a little guilt for a minute there Cutter?

Liam is a baby Seal! He is the cutest little television baby. Grandpa Clint and Grandma Viki stay home to babysit Liam and Princess David Vickers. Viki thinks Clint looks best with a baby in his arms. Awe...I love them! I think they both look at their best when they are together =)

I love the brotherly bonding between the McBains. Battleship, beer, and love advice. Michael is even making sound effects and gloating for sinking John's battleship. HA! So real! Of course John doesn't have candy for the trick-or-treaters. He hands out cash instead..lol.

The 3 Musketeers look good together. I don't mind replacing Gigi with Aubrey in this family. I'm sure I am in the minority on that one. Oh well.

Cowboy and Cowgirl (Cord and Tina)

Roxy is the best! I think she needs to be Retro Britney every day...lol. Her date is Shawn, aka Michael Jackson! OH I love this show! "Cut the bait, or get off the fish." ROFL!

I love it when soaps acknowledge all the holidays. Not just Christmas. Halloween is so fun!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Loving these costumes. Caroline went all out with the Cheetah makeup. So fun!

The Hernandez family look like a bunch of kids from Grease. Little Johnny is the cutest as always. Sami disappoints Marlena and Rafe when she expresses her doubt about John's innocence. 

Clever of John to wear a mask so he can attend the festivities with Marlena. They are so cute. So in love. Classic soap =)

Melanie and Abby are both in the exact same French Maid costume. That's a recipe for disaster. I guess Chad will be "accidentally" kissing Melanie later..lol. AND....just like that, it happens. Predictably, Abby witnesses the kiss.

Elvis Dimera and Nicole are dressed as Elvis Presley and Priscilla! GENIUS!  Mama Susan mention ;-) Nic wants to send a pic to Susan to show that he lives up to his name. The Presley's share a passionate kiss (photo-op).

Ok, I have not kept my dislike for Melanie a secret. But I will admit that the Daniel/Maggie/Melanie family reveal did bring tears to my eyes. I'm sure it had a lot to do with Maggie's reaction and her joy of finding her son.

Overall, this was a fund day for my soaps! I love days like this =)

Retro Britney

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
John's last MyFace status update says "Getting Married in the morning." I love the talk between the McBain family. Marcie reminds her brother-in-law the Brody once got violent with her.

ROFL!! Roxy is dressed as Britney Spears. Natalie to Rox, "Where's your costume?" LOVE IT!! "You have been biting your nails...might it be because you are making the biggest mistake of your life?" Tell it Roxy! "John-Mc-Bain! Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining." OMG! I can fill this blog up with lines from Roxy. She is about to spill to Natty about John still loving her when Brody walks in. DARN IT!! He kisses a little butt, calls her "mom" and Mrs. Balsom turns to jello.

Cutter is such a sleaze ball! Aubrey gives him a huge smack across the face.

Rex gets a visit from his old pal Marcie. A soap that does not forget it's history and past relationships...YES please! What a concept (hear that General Hospital??)! Rex introduces her as his long time enemy-turned-friend =) She is pissed to meet Aubrey. She heard about how she hurt Joey.

Hope is the cutest little Planters Peanut ever!

Austin Reed....AKA Porno Guy wants all 3 Ford brothers in Starr's music video. Talking about Fraternity Row and Vickers Reality show not being picked up, Rick says "show's you what the suits know." Subtle dig at Mr. Brian Frons maybe?? I think so! HEHEHE!


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
We get to see Mad World offices today. Brady gets forced into being a model for the new line. AND...there goes his shirt. Ms Madison likes it =) Sami looks a tad bit uncomfortable being in the same room while Madison rubs her hands all over Brady..LOL. WOW! What a sexy shave and lotion rub.

There is my favorite (ha) character, Melanie. She is doing her best to keep Maggie's mind off her long lost child. The elder is giving the younger some love and life advice. Lots of bonding between the two. Oh no! I don't like where I see this going.  Boo!

Bo and Hope break in to the lab to find out who Maggie's child is. They are at their best when they are working together on a mystery. They get the name of the woman who took the eggs and head straight for Maggie. Lillian Parker. That's the woman's name. Ringing any bells? NO! NO! NO! Lillian is Daniel's mom. Maggie is Melanie's grandma. UGH!!

Case of the Stupids

ONE LIFE TO LIVE
OMG! Jack finds a not-dead Gigi/Stacy in the cemetery. He freaks out and runs off to Victor's grave. Ummm....If I saw a "ghost" at a cemetery, I would run away from the place. I would not run to another grave in the same cemetery. But....that's just me..lol.

Cutter finds Stacy/Gigi and explains the twisted story to her. Why wouldn't he just let her believe she is Gigi? That would make it easier to trick Rex.

Blair is still pissed about Tomas almost getting himself sent to prison for a crime he didn't do. He compares her to Tea and she says "that's not a way to win any points with me." HA! Good to see a little dig at her former enemy.

Todd and Viki! I love them =) RH is awesome! He eats the halloween candy, then spits some back in the treat bags...LOL. It's the little things that I love about RH. Talking with his mouth full. I remember a scene w/TSJ where Todd was taking huge bites from a sandwich during their conversation. Eating messy, talking with his mouth full, and having zero manners. He's a riot! I will point out that TSJ did little things like that too. I want them BOTH on my screen damn it! =(

Tina walks in and now we have a fight between the brother and sister. Viki of course stays neutral. More funny...Todd slaps Tina's hand away from the candy bowl. He told Tina she has a "case of the stupids." ROFL!! Tina! Viki! Todd! I could go on and on. It does not get much better than this!! I can tell ES is enjoying these scenes. I am too!


DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Marlena is doing her grandma duties and getting in to the Halloween spirit with Will and his friends. Will seems too "goody-goody" for my liking. He needs more of an edge, or something interesting. He needs a non-Gabi story! I wonder if they are planning on going back to the story they had planned for him (don't want to be specific and risk spoiling it for someone). I hope they do. He and Gabi bore me to tears.

Shut up about Abby's boyfriend, Melanie!! She annoys me. Abby seems annoyed too.

EJ defends Nicole to his daddy. Stefano may not like it, but I do believe EJ is in love with her.

Poor Austin. He has been catching hell from Carrie, Rafe, and now Marlena snubs him. He still has mama Kate on his side. Austin makes the most sense out of everyone else concerning the John situation. What if his mind is still messed up after all he has been through? He could be guilty and not even know it.

Kate, predictably, is HORRIFIED when she finds out Austin is staying with Sami. She warns him, the same way she has warned him for years. And she doesn't shy away from throwing out some insults about her nemesis. Is it the 90's? It's starting to look that way (and that's a good thing)!
