Tuesday Observations!

Hi peeps, and welcome to the first edition of Soaps-Now!'s Today's Observations. Keep in mind this is a trial run, and I'm going to see how it works out. I've felt a need to post opinions separately, saving recaps for recapping only. I'll report on the soaps I've watched for the day, which is usually all ABC's and Y&R, and occasionally I'm not a frequent watcher, but I do review B&B, GL, and definitely ATWT, so I'll keep ya up sometimes. For now the summer, I don't see DAYS untill the next morning on SOAPnet, so all DAYS observations will be a day behind. So today's recap will be Monday's episode. However, after the summer, DAYS may turn into a review instead of frequent, like the others. So with all of the explanations over, lets get to it!!

All My Children: For all my "tweeps" I tweeted today that the Stuart storyline makes me feel like I'm running in circles. Same stuff, If I hear Kendall say she's gonna turn her self in on more time....ahh! I feel for Mellisa Claire Egan (Annie), whose most likely begging to be sane, as she's not cutting it when she's not sane, or deranged, outraged or sociopathic. Can't wait till Scott gets out of a suit, the character needs to be developed to Adam Mayfield. I just got my ABC SID today, I think it was a bit late, my re-subscription was late also thought, but anyway to sum up what Chuck Pratt says is that people may be "frustrated" by the ongoing mystery, and that when it breaks, it's going to be BIG! He also says the good thing about the story is that the reveal will be the beginning of the next major arc on the show. Eh, sounds like primetime. He also says anyone who thinks they know who is the killer is wrong, and they have switched it up, and done everything right! He still says that Dixie's death is tied up with Stuart's killer but it's not essential to solving the storyline at all. Whew, that's a lot. We'll just wait 'n see..

As the World Turns: Is it just me or are your first impressions of Lynn Herring's Audrey is a reminder of Y&R's Gloria (Judith Chapman). I mean her arrival was just like ole' Glo's demeanor. Not only they act the same, stories are similar. Both women left their sons, and their eldest were left to take care of younger sibling(s), due in someway because of men! Except Michael left Kevin and couldn't go back and we all know how that happens. But, yeah!

Days of our Lives: James Scott was awesome, you know why! Have him in a tee sometimes stop with stuffy suits. LOL! Listening to DC's AMC podcast, tall, dark and handsome - that description. Anyway, basically loved the Sami sequence with him. I just shiver when I think about Melanie and Nathan slowing down. Don't do this as Phillip and Mel hit the sack soon! Aww poopie... Just but Phillip and Steph back together, you know I don't like run-arounds, just get to the point! I just want to know all about Chloe's poisoning mess, will Kate go down for it? Still, not feeling Dr. Jonas, not one bit.

General Hospital: As my tweeps know, I love, love, love Drew Garrett (Michael), he absolutely killed the scenes today with Sonny! He is now undeniably the top younger actor, challenging the closest in his arena Brandon Buddy (Cole, OLTL) by a longshot, and Zack Conroy who's wearing off on me on GL, and needs to be swiped up as a SORASed Jack's kid on Y&R. Drew shows the emotion and anger that Buddy needs to get to. Okay, to his younger adoptive sis, don't get me wrong Lexi Ainsworth is awesome, and she's the right one for the role. But they are not writing her as Kristina Corinthos-Davis. Kristina may have gone on the run, but seeing as what Michael did, she would have done it even better. Kristina would have went on the run to begin with, or covered the crime up! I'm still reeling over the teen-abuse storyline, Sonny's daughter wouldn't take that. If anything Kristina should give someone else a beatdown! You also know I am a fan of the new Morgan (Aaron Refvem) when the little guy first came on, by his appearance I thought that they may go with another Dylan Cash (ex-Michael) persona, but no, they didn't! Nothing but praise for Johnny and Brandon Barash, still don't like JoLivia. I'm still a JoMax fan! Sarah Brown's Claudia should be mad, but not to the point where she is now. Claudia should be a fierce woman but to the point of redemption a bit. I could see critics panning Sarah Brown cast as Carly's fierce half-sis, but hey, it may have worked better than Claudia.

One Life to Live: Erin Torpey was great, even though I didn't see much of her era live, but Bree Williamson launched the Jessica into a new orbit, and no one would handle the Jess/Tess/Bess like her, and I'm hoping she gets a much-deserved Emmy. This Nash thing definitely peaks my interest. I love Eddie Alderson, and he needs emotional scenes, we see enough of him being irate. Again, tweeps, I wondered to day how Marcy Rylan would do as Stacy. But I'm not gonna bash my girl Crystal Hunt because she worked it today, but I'm wondering why the show didn't introduce Stacy as crazy before! I understand this character may be long run, so find out a reasonable way to redeem her, or send her off. Please but Schulyer and Gigi together, now! Farah Fath was mixed today. At one point I was like "Farah, Farah, Farah", then like "Kill it girl"!

The Young and the Restless: Whoo Stacy Haiduk plays Patty so, so well! Whoever thought AMC's Hannah Nichols had it in her!? I'm just wondering how the show will redeem her. I would chalk it up to everyone find out Patty being Patty -- crazy, but psychotic is so well with her. Clementine Ford's Mac is sort of growing on me. But what if she were someone else. Again, my tweeps saw again today that Billy/Mac magic cannot be reworked the way it was with Ashley Bashouim and David Tom. Poignant Victor and Nikki today, loved it, and Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott. Just wondering if Victor will be revealed behind the MJ thing. Love the Sharon/Phyllis stories, but I can't stand to know that all heck will break loose when the truth comes out. Also my tweeps know that I said Cane had on a very tight shirt today! Wonder who wears 'em tighter, him or ATWT's Casey??

Till Next Time....
