Daytime Emmy Nominations And Awards 2011

Well with everything going on in the soap world this should be interesting.

This is the 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. All My Children and One Life to Live have been on TV longer than the awards. Just something I noticed. The event is at the Las Vegas Hilton. The host is Wayne Brady. I don't know who he is. I've never seen him before. He seems to have a connection with his mother. Maybe I'll Google him later, but so far I'm not impressed.  I may not waste my time.

Roger Howarth Returning To One Life To Live Sooner Than Expected - Picketing - Boycotting

It was originally reported that Roger Howarth would start filming his return to One Life To Live in May.

Now it seems his first on air appearance will be on May 13th.

I can't wait to see if he will be "The Real Todd Manning" or someone else.

I still can't believe that ABC has canceled these shows. I am really hoping they are losing viewers across the board and that soap viewing is picking up. Yesterday people picketed Disney, ABC, and affiliates across the United States, ABC in New York called the police on the picketers. Way to win fans ABC!

All My Children One Life To Live Soaps Canceled Hoover Pulls Advertising

Well good for Hoover. I support them and I hope other advertisers follow suit. I haven't seen how long Hoover was an advertiser, but I'm guessing it was at least as long as the soaps have been on. And how smart of Hoover was it to hop on Facebook and Twitter and start collecting email addresses of their female audience. Maybe ABC should hire some of the Hoover marketing executives.

I've spent a lot of time this morning reading through tweets of angry soap viewers, articles from soap sites and ABC trying to justify what it has done.

I still believe these soaps are making money. ABC just wants more money, they are just a bunch of greedy so and so's to put it politely. ABC knows it is going to lose the revenue from The Oprah Show and they are trying to make up for it anyway they can. In one article it was revealed ABC has been working on replacing these shows for over a year now. So this is not something that has just happened out of the blue because of ratings. It's just another ABC lie.

ABC Canceled All My Children and One Life To Live

Wow ABC just two weeks ago you announced All My Children would not be canceled, that there would be a writer change and all was well. Now this? Was this just a ploy to sell Susan Lucci's book? Or is the cancellation itself a ploy to sell the book. Guess what, I'm not buying the book. I'll wait until Susan Lucci writes a book that ABC isn't getting a percentage of. I feel lied too, violated. It's just wrong!

Today you announce both All My Children and One Life To Live have been canceled.

One Life To Live Roger Howarth To Return - OLTL

Soap Digest announced today that Roger Howarth will return to One Life To Live (OLTL).

Roger Howarth previous played the role of Todd Manning, before Trevor St. John.

I have only watched OLTL while Trevor St. John was playing Todd Manning so he is the only Todd I am familiar with.  I must say I have heard a lot about Roger Howarth recently and have watched clips of him as Todd. He is quite nice to look at. Roger is due to appear on the show in May.

All of this brings up more questions than answers for me.

AMC Merging With OLTL - Spoiler Alert - Today's General Hospital

Someone called Raven Beauty, I have no idea who this is or whether or not this information is credible, put out a post/article about a meeting that took place at ABC. Supposedly they tossed around the idea of cancelling AMC all together or moving AMC back to New York and then merging the two shows AMC and OLTL. The post also includes a list of characters that would be safe. Full article here As I said before I don't know who Raven Beauty is and there is no mention of who was at this meeting nor is there any information on the site as to who this Raven Beauty is maybe a producer, writer nothing I could see to give this article any credibility.

My Thoughts On Today's Soaps 10/26/2010

Bold & Beautiful

Brendan, really that was just lame! Shouldn't he be in school. Didn't like him before, still don't.

Amber, seriously? I can't believe she thinks she is going to get away with stealing designs, and what happened to the kid she left Genoa City with?

One Life To Live Recap, Fri Sept 24, 2010

Darren is at drivers ed class. I think the drivers ed teacher is either a robot or seriously stoned on something. Weird guy. He even talks like a robot. Destiny finally arrives, takes the car for a ride with Darren and the teacher. Come back to car speeding around the corner, brakes squealing and slides into parking lot perfectly. Destiny, did I drive the hell out of that course or what? The teacher looks like he wet his pants, Darren opens the door and throws up. ROFL Destiny is a future Nascar driver.  Destiny says it wasn't my fault. Those cones were way to close together. Teacher, if one of those cones were a person crossing the street. Destiny, but it wasn't so I didn't hit anyone. Teacher, not at that point but a few minutes later it was a different story. Destiny, what was that lady doing out on the course anyway. Darren, minding her own business. Destiny, whose side are you on? Teacher, its clear you are going to need some supplementary instruction, before and after school. Destiny rolls her eyes. Teacher, I'll see if there is another instructor. Destiny, geez I wasn't that bad was I? Darren, your an awesome driver, just a little distracted maybe. Destiny, I couldn't stop thinking about Greg, he's hiding something. Darren, what? Destiny, I don't know but I'm pretty sure its in a clinic over in Cherrydale.

One Life To Live Recap, Thur Sept 23, 2010

Ford goes to talk to the dean. Tells the dean he is human and he made a mistake, but I am a good teacher, I can be an inspiration to the students. Dean, by inviting them into your bedroom. I'm sorry the decision stands.

Dorian and Langston are out shopping. Dorian is in disguise. Hat, sun glasses and a blond wig. LOL Langston tells Dorian she got Ford fired. Dorian is so proud of her. Langston is feeling bad about James. Dorian says when Ford kissed you, you were still his student right? So he brought this on himself. It is not your fault. Darling the only one you should be concerned about is you and sometimes there is collateral damage.

One Life to Live Recap, Wed Sept 22, 2010

Inez talks to Clint about her boys. Bo in the background watching them. Bo comes up to table says hi, wants to know what Clint has Matthew doing. Selling?  Buying? Clint more like photo copying. Clint leaves. Bo talks to Inez. Inez says she gets the impression Bo doesn't want her to date Clint. Bo goes through some of the recent events in Clints' life, says they have not all been positive. Tells her Clints a good guy he's just been through some hard times. Inez, so have I. Bo, I just don't know if you react to problems the way my brother does. Bo, tells her about Clint pulling a gun on him at his wedding. Inez, are you telling me Clint is dangerous. Bo, tells her no. Guns are just part of being a Buchannan. Inez, so let me get this straight if Clint comes after me with a six shooter, its just bluster. They are laughing and Nora walks up.

Christian's mom comes to visit him, she found out Layla left the country and she isn't happy. Mom doesn't understand why Christian doesn't go paint in Paris. Gigi arrives to work for Christian.

One Life To Live Recap, Tue Sept 21, 2010

James goes to school and finds out the life grant is no longer available. Inez shows up at the school, to see where Ford works. James tells her he had to drop out because Bobby got fired. Inez asks why Bobby got fired. James says he doesn't think Bobby would want him to say. Inez, there's gotta be something we can do to fix this. She reaches out to touch James hand and he pulls away. Inez says she has a job now, they'll find a way. James, I can't take your help its not like your really my mom anyway. James, tells her about hiding in the skinny closet to keep his dad from beating him. He says its not like he needs a mom anyway. 

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

One Life To Live Recap, Monday Sept 20, 2010

James tells Starr it was Langston with Ford. James say he's learned not to count on anything. Now that Bobby lost his job he lost his chance to go to college. Guess he should have applied for the grant. James says his dad was right all he is good for is stealing cars. Starr says your right you are a good car thief, and if that's what you want to do then good luck, but if you want something more your going to have to fight for it. Starr tells James to apply for a grant, she will help him. James is going to apply for the life grant again. The same one Gigi was applying for.

Langston tells Ford she was the one who gave the dean the photos. Ford finds out the whole Langston visit was a setup. Ford,I trusted you I believed everything you said. Langston, now you know how I felt. Ford tells Langston she not only hurt him she hurt James. Langston, he's better off without you. Ford, You got me good. I'll miss you.

John has a tail on Ross, who is sitting in his bar Rodi's. Ross is talking to Eli, says its convenient Tea died just in time for him to swoop in and get Dani. Eli starts telling Ross about how Tea got sick. He has a flash back of going into Greg's office when Greg initially got the tests back. Greg tells Eli Tea is fine there is nothing wrong with her. Damn, girl went through radiation for nothing.  Ross asks Eli after you recover whats your next step. Eli, to live happily ever after. Natalie walks up and grabs the phone out of Ross' hand. Natalie hears Eli say Ross that's it. Then she claims to Ross it looked like her phone that she lost at the memorial. Natalie tells John she only talked to Eli a couple of times but she's willing to bet Ross was talking to his dead brother Eli. The caller Id was blocked. John can't trace the call.

Greg is confessing everything to Tea, who appears to be sleeping. .I think she's listening, even if she's in a coma sometimes people hear and remember things. Greg tells Tea she was perfectly healthy until she met him. Eli slipped something into her water in court that is why she passed out. He told Greg to tell her she was dying or Destiny and everyone would find out what he didn't want them to know. Greg prescribed medication to cause the symptoms of a massive tumor. Eli even suggested the hospice, he knew she would want to spare her family. Greg was supposed to kill Tea, but since he couldn't he said he pulled every favor he could to get her back in the states, close to Todd and Dani. Then he bought himself some time to figure out what to do next and for her to recover. Greg tells Tea he put her in a coma so he can flush the drugs he gave her from her system, but he has to go back to Eli to convince him he needs surgery. He's fine, he just needs to get him on the operating table so he can kill him. That explains why he didn't just let him get on the plane and let his head explode.

Todd's at the court house talking to Blair about Tea.

Dani is telling Destiny that Greg kept her from her mom and if he would lie about that he would lie about anything. 

Ross arrived at the court house Blair started talking to him about the case and ended up screaming at him over and I hate Eli.

Nate left Dani in the park alone. I don't like that. She said she would never leave without saying goodbye. Okay, she's with Destiny again, I feel better. Destiny asks about the hearing and why Dani isn't there. Dani, because Todd and Blair told me to stay away. Destiny, since when do the D girls ever do what they are told.

With about a two minute hearing, the judge says the will appears to be fairly straight forward. The will is signed and notarized, it appears to be genuine. Therefore according to the terms of the will custody of Danielle Rayburn goes to Mr. Rayburn. Todds' lawyer gets up and argues that Todd is the biological father. The D girls are hiding in the back of the court. Judge agrees to hear Todds' lawyer. Ross stands up and says he has something that might clear things up. It's Dani's birth certificate naming Ross the father.

Eli calls Greg and wants to know why he isn't there. Greg tells him to relax you wouldn't want that blood pressure to spike, that could be fatal. If Greg stays gone to long and Eli really doesn't have a subdural hematoma, I would think he would be feeling better, so why would he let Greg operate on him? It could be Greg is giving Eli medicine to give him a headache too, but the hospital staff would have to give the medicine since Greg isn't there, and Eli is looking better. So I don't think that is the case. And we still don't know what Eli has on Greg. I wonder if Destiny is his daughter? That would be an interesting twist.

Starr confronts Langston and tells her she set Ford up just so she could get him fired. Langston says so what if I did. I think some of that Kramer if rubbing off on Langston.

Ford sits down at the park and kicks his box of stuff from the school he's been carrying around. Nate walks up.

Eli looking at a picture of Todd and Dani, says sorry Ross you might be getting custody of Danielle but you won't be seeing a lot of her. So now its looking like Eli used Ross too.

One Life To Live Recap, Fri Sept 17, 2010

Today is Tea's memorial. Tea was an ABBA fan. It looks like the service is over.

Dani introduces Nate to Ross. Dani is trying to leave the memorial to go to school, Ross is stalling her.

Shaun tells Todd if Tea saw the way he was acting she would throw his butt out of here. Slaps him on the arm. LOL Todd looks like it hurt. 

Natalie and John are discussing the service. The DNA is in on Eli at Lanview PD. John's going to Tahiti to get another sample. Natalie tells him not to take any crap, she can get DNA from a burned body. Gives him a picture of the ultrasound to take with him. John gets a call from the Tahitian police that they have lost the body. Natalie so how do we prove that Eli is alive if we can't prove the burned body isn't him. John, This. He hands Natalie Eli's wedding ring. The bodies DNA would have to be on it.

Eli calls Greg and tells him hurry up and get back, he's bored being dead. Shaun walks up on Greg telling Eli he'll get there when he gets there. Greg says its a patient wanting a consult. Shaun, since when don't you want to give advice. So that's why you tore out of Tea's memorial and came here. Greg, you spying on me. Shaun, if I was I would have known you lied to Destiny a lot sooner. Greg, what are you talking about? Shaun, she said you were leaving town that you needed time to deal with Tea's death. Greg, I did, but I decided to come back for the memorial. I thought it would help me out. Shaun, it doesn't look like it. Is there something you want to tell me? Shaun is grilling Eli. Shaun says he hasn't been right since he showed up at the hospice with Todd and Dani. Shaun talks about how Greg made A's in school and became a doctor. Says his business is trouble, he knows how to keep people out of it, knows how to help them once their in it, and he knows how to smell it twenty feet away. Greg, so you think you can smell it? Shaun, all over you. Give it to me. I can help you. Greg, says no. Shaun pulls files out of Greg's bag. Why do you have Tea's file with you? Greg said he's making sure he didn't miss anything. Greg tells Shaun to stay out of it for his own good and Destiny's. Well that pretty much tells him somethings up. Shaun, Someone is threatening our sister that's why you want me to back off? Greg, I didn't say that. Shaun, which is why I'm not doing it. Greg, you don't have a choice, you stay on this your risk putting all three of us in danger. Greg, just look after Destiny and let me look after my business. Shaun, you sure you want to handle this? Greg, I have too and I can. I just need you to trust me. Shaun, you need me I'm there.

James goes by the school to see Ford, to see if he's still teaching, since him and Langston got back together. Ford says he's serious about Langston. James, It's hard to change. Ford, not if your sorry about what you did. Says Langston took a leap of faith.

Eli calls Ross. Eli assures him the document is air tight. Says he is always happy to help his brother, I'm doing this for me as much as I am for you. Ross looked a little puzzled by that comment. Blair walks up and gives him crap about being on the phone.

Todd comes up and tells Ross pick a number for however much it will cost for him to walk away from Dani.  Ross, are you really trying to buy Dani from me? Todd, no I'm asking how much it would cost to buy you. Ross, so you actually think I'd rather have money than my daughter? Todd, Isn't that where your going to tell me that you love her more than I do? Ross, You don't know the first thing about love. Todd, just take the money. Ross, go to hell. Todd, take the money or your a dead man again. Ross, this is your plan B? You threaten me, I give you my daughter.  Todd, No I'm not threatening you. Ross, what are you going to do kill me? Todd pulls a gun, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Ross, you must of figured out the answer to the question, how your going to be a father to Dani from prison. Todd, that's not going to happen, while you were watching pay-per-view at The Palace, on my dime.  I spoke to some people who work for me who will dispose of your body. I have a guy who will have your name on his passport and a bunch of witness that willl see me leave this memorial before you. Ross, its taking you a long time to pulll that trigger, whats it going to be money or a bullet? Ross, your one hell of a negotiator. Todd, does that mean your going to give up Dani? Ross, your going to have to shoot me. Blair walks in. Tells him not to kill someone that Dani loves. Todd, Dani won't know what happened. She'll just think the silver surfer disappeared again. Blair, Don't make her lose someone else, after she lost Tea, and Eli. Tells him Tea is watching him. Todd puts the gun down, Ross leaves. Todd, damn you are you happy now? Blair, no I really wish you had shot him. Todd, then why'd you tell me not to do it? LOL Blair cause I promised Tea, and I always keep my promises.

Dani tells Starr she's going to school to get away from the dueling dad's. Starr, I've been through custody fights, I know how bad it can be, but I didn't have to lose my mom in the middle of it. She tells Dani she wants her to do whatever makes her happy.

Langston asks Blair if their is a little part of her that wishes Eli weren't dead? Blair, What for? Langston, so you can make him pay for what he did?  Blair, sweetheart you have no idea.

Everyone arrives in class. Ford starts teaching, the dean comes in and calls him out of the class. She questions him about Langston, he denies any involvement. She says then how do you explain these photos taken last night? Ford admits the photos are real, she fires him. Tells him to be out by the end of the day. She then goes in and tells the class that Mr. Ford was let go for inappropriate contact with a student. Boy that should keep him from working anywhere. 

Langston, Starr and James in the hallway. Starr can't believe Ford would be with a student after everything that happened. Langston says she needs to go. James tells Starr Bobby was with Langston last night. Langston meets Ford in the park and plays stupid about the photos. Ford can't think of anyone that hates him enough to get him fired. He asks Langston if she can. She says yes, me.

Nate takes Dani to the park instead of school. They discuss everything going on. Dani isn't sure she wants to go with Ross. Dani tells Nate she doesn't want to leave all her new family or him.

John and Natalie got the DNA results back, they know Eli is alive.

Ross talks to Eli again, he tells him its just a couple of hours before the judge validates the will.

Greg back at hospital. Goes in room where Tea is sleeping.

Blair is talking to Tea, tells her she stopped Todd from killing Ross. Tells her if there was ever a time we needed you it is right now.

Todd in another room talking to Tea, says he wants her standing there telling him what a jack ass he is.

Langston tells her about Ford, Jessica and Brody and then realizes that Kelly already knew. Kelly is worried about Jessica now that the cat is out of the bag. Langston admits part of her still has feelings for him. Kelly advises Langston not to get mad to get even.

James and Ford are out to dinner at Rodi's. Cole and Starr are on a date night also at Rodi's. Rex tells Gigi he can help with school he just picked up another case. Geez it sounded like the last check from Kelly would cover years of school why are they still going on about the cost? Gigi, with who? Rex, Kelly. Gigi, really how many dead mothers does she have? Rex tells her about Kelly's plan to bring David back so Dorian can break up with him. Starr tells Cole Ford could be the father of Jessica's baby.

Guess he's not going to tell her about the visit to see James, telling him to stay away from Starr. Langston calls Ford and tells him she has to see him. Ford goes home.

Ford opens door, Langston kisses him. Ford wants to know what that was about. Langston tells Ford she believes him, that it was all months ago. She wants to know if he meant it when he said he wanted to start over. Ford said yes. Langston, good because I want that too. They discuss that he is teaching the class again, decide to keep it secret. Langston says she has to go. She seems to be playing him. Like she's going to sleep with him and then get him fired. But I think she's going to fall for him again. Ford kisses her goodbye in the apartment doorway. When he closes the door she retrieves the video camera she had hidden in a plant outside, where she has recorded them kissing.

Jessica and Brody in the hallway. Brody ordered Chinese food, pickles and ice cream. Says he always wanted to try it. Natalie comes up.

Jessica, and he proposed again and I said yes. Jessica goes into apartment, and Brody tells Natalie he will keep her secret.

Ross says he is, he could press assault charges but he won't. Todd, Your in my house uninvited, if I wanted to I could shoot you. You gotta love Todd. John, what did I just say? Ross says he's just trying to respect Tea's wishes as stated in the will. John looks at will says we got a little problem here. This wills gotta be probated before anyone can act on it. John tells Ross he can't take Dani tonight. John leaves. Dani tells Ross she can't go with him, says she has to go to memorial, has friends here.

Rex tells Kelly he thinks Clint has something to do with David being gone. He tells Kelly he can pursue this Clint angle, but do you really want me going after your sons great grandfather. Rex wants to know if Kelly can get him into BE after hours, to access Clint's records.

One Life To Live Recap, Wed Sept 15, 2010

Rex to Kelly, You want to find David Vickers? Why? Kelly, Dorian needs him. Rex, Did she run out of holes in her head. We're not exactly best friends but even I wouldn't wish. Kelly, It would involve a trip to Europe. Rex, okay I'm listening. David is over there somewhere, gallivanting around bragging about his conquests on My Face. Rex, What does Dorian want with David? She's not considering taking him back after he left her at the altar, again. She's not that desperate is she? Kelly, of course not, I hope not, but the last thing Dorian needs from David is romance. What she does need is something way more important, payback.

Kelly, David left her in a letter, so she never got any closure. Rex, so you want me to bring him back here so she can yell at him? Kelly, that's only phase one. If Dorian can take him back then dump him, then she gets her closure. Kelly, you know the history of mental illness in my family, tonight really scared me. Rex, speaking of mental illness have you seen a shrink lately? LOL Kelly, you think I'm crazy cause I want to help my aunt?  Rex, no I think your crazy period. Tells Kelly it could cost her a fortune. Rex agrees to do it so he can help Gigi with school.

Dorian in bed reading My Face. Blair comes in she's talking to Dorian but not looking at her, she said she doesn't want to talk about Eli, but she wants to plan a memorial for Tea and have it at the house. Dorian is covering her head up. Blair turns around. Hey, what is wrong? Dorian tells Blair what happened at The Palace. Blair tells Dorian Kelly should have never forced her to go back to work if she wasn't ready, but what Blair thinks Dorian really has is post traumatic stress. Blair wants to work on memorial service as a distraction wants Dorian to help her.  Dorian says Blair can have the memorial at the house but she isn't attending.

John and Natalie are at The Palace checking Eli's room. Went to get DNA sample. They haven't found anything. Natalie says when they do they will have to make sure the DNA isn't corrupt and take it to Tahiti themselves. John, that's a great idea, but your not going anywhere. John and Natalie argue over her flying to Tahiti. Natalie says women do it all the time what's the worst that could happen? John turns away. Natalie, you know the worse that can happen, I'm sorry. You think that history is going to repeat itself? Natalie apologizes. Johns says he's being over protective, he just doesn't think she needs to be wreckless. John leaves in response to Todds call. Renee comes in to congratulate Natalie about the baby and is going on about it being half Mcbain and half Buchanan, and how proud Asa would be.  Rene talking to Natalie about Ross and Blair busting up the furniture. Said he must have felt bad because he gave me lots of envelopes with tips for the staff. Natalie, sealed envelopes? Do you have any of those? Rene has one of the maids envelopes.

Ross still working on convincing Todd and Dani that Tea wanted her to be with him. Todd tells him to leave. Dani, How do you know the will is not real? Ross, its real your mom had Eli draw it up. Todd, Oh well in that case if Eli drew it up its legit, certainly. Ross, He was a lawyer. Todd, Is that better or worse than being a killer. Todd, Just admit Rayburn this is a scam you and your brother made up. Ross says the only reason he knew about the will is because they sent him a copy because his name was mentioned in it. That's how he knew Tea died. Todd calls Blair.

Ross tells Dani now they are going to be together forever, finally gonna have the life your mother wanted us to have. Todd, how you gonna pull that off? Your wanted by the Seattle police, last I heard the Washington State Penn is not a great place to raise a kid. Dani, He's right if the cops find you they are going to arrest you. Blair arrives sees Ross. Todd explains what Ross is saying to Blair. Blair said she saw Tea sign the will. Ross, did you read it cause if you had, you would have seen you were mentioned as the emergency guardian if something happens to me. Blair and Todd agree this is a scam. Dani is getting upset. Blair says she doesn't care what the will says she promised Tea, she would be a mother to Dani and that's what she is going to do. Call the cops Todd.

Clint talks Bo and Nora into staying for dessert even thought Nora's soak and wet. Nora wants to stay for the Baked Alaska and she says Clint's trying. Inez says she has to leave. Clint blames Bo for scaring off his date. Bo tells Clint, Inez is a grown woman and can make up her own mind, maybe he'd have better luck if he didn't ask her boss to stick around. Bo pushes Nora to leave, Clint says what about the baked alaska? Bo, I don't want. Nora we could stay I'm almost dry. LOL she wants that baked Alaska.

Rex enters restaurant. Asks if they know where Vickers is tells them Kelly hired him. Clint's worried now. They say they don't know where Vickers is. Nora invites Rex to stay for baked alaska, she says its got flames. Rex, yeah, I love flames. No I can't I'm on the clock. Clint, looks like no ones getting baked alaska so I'm gonna go to. Nora looks to Bo, Flamed Cherries. She's got it bad, like a pregnancy craving. ??? What? Clint chases down Rex and asks him doesn't he think everyone would be better off if Vickers stayed gone. Bo tells Nora she has to stop feeling sorry for Clint. Then he finds out Clint stuck him with the dinner bill. 

Eli is telling Greg about the will and how he switched it. Greg, so what's the deal you two get custody of Dani, sell her back to Todd and split the take? Eli, Something like that. Greg, this isn't  an inheritance. Your playing with someone's life. Exploiting a grief stricken, traumatized young girl someone you claim your brother loves, that you love, and you don't even care. This from Greg? Eli, Don't you think its a little late for moral qualms Dr. after what you did to Tea? Greg, Tea isn't.  Eli, Tea isn't what?  Eli, tells Greg this is all making him/Greg uncomfortable he can leave and be done with him, but it would be a lot smarter to fix him up and he will never bother him again. Eli, How do I know your not just trying to stall me. Greg, first sign when that bomb inside you head explodes. Now I've got to get back to Lanview before anybody notices where I've been. I gotta pay my respects to Tea at a memorial service. Eli, I hope your not trying to play me, you know what will happen if you do.

Kelly comes home, Dorian says the only thing that is going to make her feel better is telling David off. Kelly, maybe you can do that. Kelly suggests role play. Kelly has a big pillow in front of her acting like David and Dorian throws a punch that knocks her down on the bed.

Dani can't believe Todd called the police. Blair tries to calm Dani. Dani tells her dad to run before the police get there. Ross, its time to quite running, he will never turn his back on Dani again. John arrives, Well Rayburn I don't know what you did to get away from the folks in Tahiti but I'm pretty sure it won't work in Seattle. Dani is upset.Todd tells her by the time Ross is out of jail she'll be old enough custody won't be an issue. John's on the phone looking puzzled. Todd, whats the matter John? John tells them all the charges were dropped.  Todd says he kidnapped Blair and Dani, arrest him for that. John there's nothing I can do about that.  They take the cuffs off Ross. Ross to Dani, come on I'm going to take you home.

I Want A Soap Where ....

A couple stays married forever.

Soaps used to do this. You know Joe and Ruth on All My Children, Tom and Alice on Days of Our Lives, I think Edward and Lila on General Hospital. There have been a few couples over the years that have lasted. Didn't you dream as a little girl or boy to grow up and be married to the same person forever? 

The only couple I can think of that is left are Joe and Ruth on All My Children, and except for special occasions they are retired to Florida and aren't on the show anymore. 

I want my soaps to start developing a couple now, to fall in love either at first sight or hate each other first then fall in love, I don't care how they work it out I just want them to fall in love, get married and stay married forever. Gay, straight I don't care I just want a couple that stays married.

I mean the couple can still have bumps in the road, but I want them to work it out. I want that dream. For those of you that say it doesn't happen in the real world, all the more reason to have it in a soap, maybe if people have an example to follow they would work harder to stay together in real life. If people are having a rough real life, they can watch a happy couple and have hope.

Soaps aren't real! I love them, don't get me wrong. I love that there is a new episode every day and very seldom a rerun. BUT, soaps have writers, that get paid to be imaginative. So imagine that there is a couple that can work anything out and make it happen. Have the big family holiday dinners where everyone comes together and has a good day, no matter what else has happened the rest of the week.

Take All My Children for example, where's the anchor family of the show? I mean it's called All My Children. The Chandlers are spread out everywhere. Haley and Mateo are gone. You could bring them back, but I'm guessing Kelly and Mark aren't available, and its hard to imagine someone else playing them. The Cortlandt' s are all gone except Caleb. Every time the Kane women get together for a family meal its pretty much guaranteed a disaster and none of them have stay married, except Bianca whose now separated.

There's a possibility with the Hubbard family. They could have Angie & Jessie grow old together, be the anchor family. They have both been married to other people, but I could forgive that, since they have always remained in love, and their separation was beyond their control. (Well kind of) The family has a long history on the show. They have a family going now that would make for some nice family dinners. They have Frankie and Randi who could also be a couple to stay married forever, have some babies. Need to feel a little more love there, but it could work. Get Natalia married with some babies, got the new baby on the way.  They have laid some good ground work, and you have Jessie and Angie to help them through the rough patches, like when Frankie had his hand surgery and Angie gave Randi guidance. The more I think about it, the more I think the Hubbard's are a good candidate's for the long time couple and anchor family.

I think my other soaps are going to have to start from scratch. So come on my soap writers earn your keep get imaginative!

I WANT MY DREAM !





One Life To Live Recap, September 14, 2010

Bo and Nora discuss Dorian's absence. Evidently she is supposed to be there at a budget meeting. Bo, does that mean this just turned into date night. Inez, I'm sorry I'm late. Bo is confused. Inez, got a note that said meet Mr.Buchannan at The Palace for dinner. Bo, I didn't leave a note. Clint walks up, it was me. You know he is up to no good, guess he's trying to be Asa. They send Inez off with Clint.

Eli, wants Greg to be his doctor, says he has more work to do in Lanview. Greg is checking out head wound, Eli wants drugs, Greg says no they will mask the symptoms, head wound is the least of his problems. Eli can't pass simple brain tests. Said President is Carter. Greg tells him he has a subdural hematoma. Eli, I'm not going to die from a bruise. Greg, no you'll die from the build up of pressure in your skull which will cause severe brain damage, at that point death would probably be a relief. You can't take a pill and make this go away, at the very least you need monitored you could need brain surgery, a craniotomy.

Ross shows up at Todd's tells Dani, it's okay daddy's here. Ya'll know Todd is thrilled. Todd calls Bo to tell him he has a fugitive for him, doesn't get him. Dani begs him to put down phone. Ross claims to not know what was going on with Eli. Todd, somebody break out a violin, or a Ukulele. Ross, now I'm all alone. Dani, you have me. Todd, okay that's enough please get the hell out of my house. LOL I can't believe he said please. Ross, I'm not going anywhere without my daughter. Todd and Ross go back and forth over whose the real baby daddy.  Ross says laws on his side and Tea put it there. Ross, Your mom wanted you with me. Dani, How can you say that? Todd, yea how can you say what Tea wanted? Ross, I have her will. Ross gives a copy to Todd.  Tells Dani her mom knew what she really needed was to be with the one person who really loved her as much as she did and that's me not Todd.

Eli, if you insist do it now. Greg, first I need to take you blood pressure. Eli, getting out of bed, you don't need to do that cause I can tell you right now its really high from you jerking me around. Greg, your not helping this. You need to calm down get back into bed. You need to stop moving around, you don't understand its a miracle you even made it here. Eli, You don't understand I need to get on a plane tomorrow at the latest. Greg, do you know what will happen inside your skull at 30,000 feet. No.Your not getting on that plane. Whatever you need to take care of back in the states will have to wait. Eli, that's what this is all about you are trying to stop me from going back to Lanview. Eli, wants to know how long it will take to fix him up, he needs to get back to Lanview to collect. His brother is about to come into something very valuable. 

Dorian is still held up in her room. Kelly is giving her a pep talk trying to get her to go to her meeting. Kelly tells Dorian she wants her up in her power suit with spike heels in five minutes or she's the next cover story for the Sun. Shut in Mayor, shuns city complete with pictures of her wandering the house with a trail of stray kittens. Dorian, I don't have a cat. Kelly, we're the Sun do you think we're above doctoring pictures to make a point. Dorian, When did you get so relentless and heartless. Kelly, excuse me? Who turned off the phone and brought you butterscotch ice cream and raspberry vodka for three days? Both sound good, I don't know about together though.

Christian and Layla discuss wedding. Layla wants to have the wedding later. She needs to be in Paris next week, and can't plan a wedding that fast. She wants a full year to be bridezilla. Christian, truth I'd marry you in the parking lot right now. I miss Antonio, he's had a long enough break, time to come back to work. Christian and Layla are going to chat every night and see each other once a month rotating places. They get champagne to celebrate.  Layla tells Gigi she should take Chris' art class.

Gigi taking calculus, thought it would be easy. LOL  Also taking philosophy. Gigi's ready to quit. Gigi says she is a 6 pack of beer and a strip mall girl. The young kids are intimidating her. Rex says she'll regret it in ten years. She decides she'll stay in school.

Dorian has arrived at The Palace. They are discussing the budget and Dorian imagines Bo saying to Nora, can you believe my handsome young son married to that? Dorian jumps up, How dare you! But at least you finally showed your true natures. I heard you. Bo, what? Nora, what just happened here? Dorian imagining again. Bo, well at least the old bat's hearing still works, do you believe I was almost her father in law? Nora, you so dodged the bullet. Dorian that is it! Throws a drink on Nora and Bo. Bo, What the hell got into you! Dorian you don't deserve to have me in your family! Kelly comes and tells Dorian lets go. Dorian, I was just fine until your handsome son and his lying face came at me and lured me back, and he did nothing but stomp on my heart, my very soul. Excuse me what are you all starring at, I hope you enjoyed the show. To the crowd at The Palace.

Inez, that poor woman do you think she is going to be okay. Clint, hard to say it runs in the family all the Kramer women are a little loosely packed if you know what I mean. It was only a matter of time before Dorian became unraveled too.

Inez and Clint go over to Bo and Nora's table. Clint you leaving already? Nora, I'm soaked. Bo, Dorian's lost her mind. Clint, there's breaking news. Nora, I'm still trying to figure out what the hell happened. Bo, we were discussing budget numbers and she just snapped. Inez, she seemed to have a broken heart. Clint, That poor old girl. Bo, Really? Your son really did a number on her. Bo, It takes two. Clint, it only took one to run away. Clint, Bo you gotta face it David Vickers is worthless trash always has been always will be.

Kelly, you've been banned from The Palace. Dorian, oh banned from The Palace, by a former hooker and madam, how do these things happen. LOL  Dorian going back to bed. Kelly, you get butterscotch ice cream or raspberry vodka you choose. Dorian keeps reading about David Vickers online. I think Clint is posting the info. He is standing at The Palace says he's updating his My Face Page.

Kelly goes to Rex and asks him to find David.

Soaps Today, September 13, 2010

Young & Restless

I don't think the way Victoria was thrown into the car was too respectful. Ok, so did they sign the license before the vows ? or is this going to be a loop hole for Victor? Deacon always seems to get lucky when Nicks around. LOL That dress Phyllis is wearing sure is shiny! You go Nikki, tell Victor off good! Still can't believe he'd do that to his own daughter. Nikki kinda looks like she's been drinking, and like she wants too.

Boy Owen sure was quick to turn on Ronan. Nina is breaking my heart. Chance dying, whole different atmosphere on this show compared to when David died on AMC. Oh, Nina talking about Iraq & Chance is making me cry. I sure am glad Murphy is there for Catherine. I like him so much.Give it to Ronan Chloe!

Billy cracks me up, he sure isn't afraid of Victor is he. The look on Nikki's face is cracking me up. Ouch! Victor. I think Victoria needs to do the tough love thing and walk away from Victor.

OMG Cricket! First you make a play on her man, then you get her son killed. WHY would she let you help her?

Heather and Chloe friends? Just like on AMC, I'd like that.

All My Children

I want to know who Asher is already! Ok, so how did Asher know Bianca was sending the "Nerd Army"? I think they deserved a better name than Nerd Army.

I still want to know where Madison was during the party. She disappeared and she's already killed one man.

Why does Kendall lie to Zach? She knows she's going to get caught.

I nailed it! I said either someone spiked the drinks (Maybe Greenlee) or Madison did something. Maybe Madison spiked the drinks, Frankie or Jake both have access to drugs. ????????

Ut oh, AJ missing. If David weren't on a table in the morgue I would suspect him! Who's the new bad guy gonna be?

Boy not much new there today.

One Life To Live

Eli's alive, no surprise there, but I really thought that was him outside Todd's house and he doesn't look like he's that mobile right now, so Ross must be with him.

Maybe Tea got her sight back and she's wondering around.

John McBain is not only sexy, but smart too!  He is so onto Eli. This Natalie questioning is stupid, Natalie is not that naive and she's not pregnant enough to say pregnancy destroyed her brain cells.

Vivian sex talk with Destiny is a riot! Her mother asked Vivian to talk to her. Poor Shaun! LOL

Brody, what a slime you are. You needed to come clean, before you asked her to marry you! I used to like Brody, I'm losing all respect. Grow some boy!

Can't believe Ross just walks in there. Isn't there a warrant out for his arrest?

General Hospital

Claire needs to make up her mind either she wants to have Sonny's baby or she wants to put him in jail. What's it gonna be ? This back and forth is making me nuts. I say reproduce those dimples!

I said I saw a road crew worker in the background. I just thought it was Michael.

Almost feel sorry for this road crew guy.

Yea, right this truce ain't gonna last long at all.

I am still not feeling the love for this Brenda character. Seems to be pretty stupid if you ask me. Why's she keep going out alone if she knows people are trying to kill her.

I'm ready for some Max and Diane, and a girls night. But the girls are kinda a mess right now and Elizabeth is gone. Maybe Alexis and Diane can go hang with the lumberjack guys again. LOL

One Life To Live Tuesday, September 7, 2010

Roxie lets Natalie into John's apartment, tells her she just visited Skylar in Pentonville. Roxie's cleaning John's room thinks the baby should be named after her. Reminds Natalie she was the one that made her write the letter to have John meet her at midnight. Roxie, Glad you didn't do anything stupid. Natalie, actually I did do something stupid that night. John returns and fills in Natalie. John tells Natalie he doesn't get it, lying never works. John, tells Natalie if something is bothering you, I wanna hear about it. Natalie, I guess I should tell you then.

Rex and Gigi go on a picnic. Rex has his silver brief case. It's loaded with school supplies for Gigi, but she can't have the case. LOL Gigi's filling out her grant paperwork. Rex, wants to go for a swim, Gigi tells him to go, while she finishes grant. He runs into Kelly in his swimsuit. She says what is it with you and clothes or lack there of. LOL She's on a bridge with Melinda's ashes. She dumps the ashes over.

Destiny hears Greg calling Eli, but doesn't know who he's calling. Love Destiny's hat. They are at diner, Destiny see's Layla and Christian tells them Tea died. Now Greg found out Eli died. Greg said he knew him from Matthews case. Christian tells Layla she has to take the job in Paris. Both are trying to delay their jobs for the other.

Jack goes to see Dani, tells her he's very sorry about her mom and gives her a hug. Awwwwwwwww Who knew Jack had it in him? Jack says he liked Tea better than Eli, Todd tells him he won't have to worry about Eli anymore. Dani says Eli is kind of her uncle. Dani finds out Eli is dead. She thinks he was a nice guy. Todd tells Dani all the people Eli killed. She decides she's not going to trust anybody whose going to leave you and aren't even who they say they are.

Blair arrives home, says she's been a bride, a widower, and a murder its good to be home. Blair is going to take a shower for a year and a half. LOL John tells Kelly what happened. Guess Blair decided not to stay in the shower that long. Now she's thanking Kelly. Kelly wants to know what Eli said. Blair tells her Melinda apparently saw a picture of Blair and Eli in the paper and showed it to Rodney who recognized him as Bennett Thompson, Melinda called Blair to warn her and Eli answered the phone, so he flew there and killed her. ???? I thought Eli said before he dated Melinda, I think they screwed that one up. Blair is going to check on Dani, Kelly tells her Tea died.

Jessica and Broddy go to doctor. Vivian the Dr brings Jessica in alone and tells her she's made arrangements for the Rh shot, she'll do it while Brody isn't around.  Brody getting all excited about ultrasound. Jessica appears to be freaking out on the inside. Brody starts talking about how he didn't have any family then he thought he had Shane and lost him, but this baby no one can ever take that from him. Jessica, I can't do this anymore.I can't keep on lying. I love you more than anything else in the world. Your gonna hate me when I tell you this. There's a chance this baby might not be yours.

Blair goes to see Dani, heartbreaking. Blair asks Todd what do you need, he says Tea. Blair, we were both widowed in same week. Todd, Married him huh? Blair and then I shot him. Dani is going home with Blair. Todd is left alone. Greg arrives at Todd's and says I need to tell you something about Tea.

One Life To Live Recap Friday, September 3, 2010

Langston still kissing Ford. Stops and says what am I doing. Haha Ford says you are right. Your a student I'm a teacher we can't do this here. Let's go back to my place. He's such a dog. Back to trying to convince her he changed. OIY!  Ford tells Langston he hasn't been able to get over her because she's the one, he can't even flirt anymore. Oh please!
 
Dr Wright asks nurse to put a note in Jessica Brennan's file that she needs treatment to prevent RH disease in her baby. Brody walks up and says no she doesn't. The nurse saves the Dr. and says you must be confusing Jessica with her sister Natalie.

Gigi at bar going on about price of school, Rex shows her the check Kelly gave him, says your problems are solved. That must of been some check, they didn't show us how much it was, but Rex said yesterday it had an extra 0. Rex gives Gigi the check. Gigi thinks Kelly's just tipping Rex for all the times she seen him naked.
LOL She's also sure Kelly hired him for more than just his six pack. Rex, I am a damn good PI. Gigi, yeah with the cutest butt in the business. Gigi asks when Kelly brought him the check, when she found out that Kelly brought it when he was half naked again, she wasn't pleased. Gigi, jealous me? Just because Kelly is rich and gorgeous. She threatens to go visit Ford. He's her bad boy type. Rex says he's former bad boy. 

Kelly goes to Todd's. Todd is talking to Starr, he's mad because Blair isn't there for Dani, says she promised Tea who practically wrote her a book. Starr keeps trying to tell him where Blair is but he keeps cutting her off. Finally Starr says mom is lucky to be alive, Eli Clark is a killer. That shut Todd up. Now Todd is making the whole Eli thing about him, says Blair is a strong woman she can survive anything, she survived me.

John calls Natalie. Johns waiting for confirmation that Eli is dead. Natalie asks about Blair, John says she survived Eli and the fire that probably killed him, but no, she's not okay. John not sure how soon he'll be home, asks Natalie to push back the appointment for ultrasound because he wants to be there.

Jessica tells Kelly about the RH thing. They finally started calling it a shot instead of a treatment.  Kelly tells Jessica about busting into Eli's hotel room and Rex saving her. He was amazing, especially when he took his clothes off. LOL

John calls Starr and puts Blair on the phone.  Blair crying tells Starr she shot Eli. John, said they found the body. Blair, Is he dead? John, We'll see. Blair, What does that mean? John, means I'll believe it when I see it. Blair tells John Eli is the one who pushed Marty down the stairs.

Blair trying to figure out how she could have been so blind about Eli.

Natalie goes to reschedule ultrasound, Nurse says and the father is John McBain, remember last time I thought you were having a baby with officer Lovett. Nurse thinks it funny. Brody is still sitting in waiting room listening. He's on a case or something.  Brody, that was awkward. Natalie tells Brody this baby is John's no matter what, you've gotta let this go.

Starr tells Kelly Eli is dead, Blair looks at body. Blair, his face is burned so bad you can't identify the body. Bullet matches,  and the body has wedding pictures on it. Blair tells John she's worried about herself, she thought she was marrying someone who was so not like Todd and he was worse than Todd would ever be. Blair I fell in love with the man that killed your baby, how could I be so blind? Now Todd is saying how he didn't like Eli and he could have stopped it. Oh no Blair and Todd are getting back together, I see it coming.

Natalie goes to Rodi's and tells Rex Eli is dead. Natalie talks to Gigi, tells her John is really good at what he does, she's afraid he'll figure out about the baby. Gigi tells Natalie to ease up or John will figure out whats going on.

Brody asks Jessica why Dr Wright thinks she needs that Rh treatment. Brody, I stopped by to introduce himself, and I over heard her ordering the shot, so I asked her about it and she never really gave me an answer she was just kinda vague. Jessica, tells Brody Dr Wright was just being careful.

Nurse questioned Dr Wright about Jessica's shot. Now she knows Brody might not be the daddy.

Kelly at Rodi's telling Rex she just wanted to look Eli in the face and tell him what she thought, now she won't get too. Kelly crying, Rex comforting her, Gigi and Natalie watching.

John is getting Ross extradited, wants dental records, DNA, the whole works on Eli's body.

Todd's getting pretty drunk. Starr tells him, your afraid your going to cry aren't you. Starr is going to set up memorial for Tea, ashes still have not arrived.

Blair throws wedding picture away. John says let me buy you a drink, Blair says okay.

Blair could get back together with John after he breaks up with Natalie. I had really hoped Evangeline would come out of her coma and get back together with John. I liked the two of them together.


Whatever happened to Rex trying to find his parents? They kind of dropped that.
