GH's Slutbeth got what was coming today!

If Lulu, well now I'm going to call her ScreechLu (coined from people on the YouTube comments) didn't go off today, I was like Slutbeth and Nikolas pick up your face. Everyone knows I'm definitely not a big fan of Slutbeth, and don't love the idea when she's always hailed as a princess, however no discredit to the fabulous Rebecca Herbst. Anyway, ScreechLu was definitely doing some Screechin' today usually I don't fawn over her over the top antics, but I was like go 'head! As some of you also know that Nikolas, a character I try my best to like but the show refuses to let me, also got screeched at. Just watch the clips if you didn't catch it! It was also some Slutbeth/Ethan stuff going on. I like initially but now thinking about it, i'm like nahhhh.

Friday's Observations

I know, I know, I know. It's been like forever! But I have a strategy of doing this better, and writing notes for observations while I'm watching it so I'm not stuck with blank thoughts while writing these. LOL. Well when school's back in that will coincide better, considering I'll be watching these at night. I'm currently watching DAYS, so no observations for today.
Let's begin....
BTW, It's going to be a tough POW this week, every time it seems to be a slower week, everyone brings it the following!

All My Children: Sad that Jennifer Bassey couldn't be utilized more, and she might not even be on AMC no longer that appearing once a year or so because of the NY move. But I will be torn up if Alicia Minshew won't move! But anyway Liza/Marion scenes were great. If your not a Jamie Luner fan because she isn't Marcy Walker fine, but you can't say that the girl doesn't bring it, and needs to bring her tail to Glassell Park when AMC moves, not saying that a Liza in the new AMC would be a top priority, but would be good. I'll post this here because it's the most appropriate place, but I think that they may can invigorate Vincent Irizarry's David Hayward if Finola Hughes's Anna Devane returns to AMC when they make the LA move. I mean Anna's baby Leora died at birth a while back and even today David is crying Leora, Leora, Leora. If her mother could come back then David could really move mountains!

As the World Turns: This is not about today's ATWT, but in my last observations I noted similarities between Audrey/Henry and Y&R's Gloria/Michael. Now there is a even better similarity to add, the crazy fathers, due to next week's reveal that James Stenbeck is Henry's father, Michael's father was considered a criminal (and still is sort of since he returned and left) and definitely Glo's other son and Michael's bro, Kevin's father, Terrible Tom.

Days of Our Lives: I know I said I wasn't doing DAYS, but I was glad we got Lexie and Abe time, I'm seeing that scene right now. BUT PLEASE REVEAL THIS BABY SWITCH, I love Sami/Nicole friends but I'm just ready for the big blow up. Stop this dang Chad from fawning over Mia please and get Kinsey and that other random dude off my screen, now! Dylan Patton and Taylor Sprietler deserve better! Speed up now, please, fast!And most importantly, those horrid gym scenes. I mean we love to see the guns of Dylan Patton and Casey Deidrick, but have them by a pool, when they go back to school have them in a gym like that or something, please! Lastly, cast a suitable love interest for Chad that can work the screen with Patton, Deidrick and Sprietler.

General Hospital: Whooo, It was about time that Mr. Sir met the woman-beater. This thing needs to blow up I want Sonny all over Kiefer! I could have jumped at him myself when he threw that glass and almost hit Molly. I was about to tweet too fast. I thought Molly was going to be like her father Ric, and not give into what Kiefer was trying to pull for her, in like her sister Kristina, who doesn't take after Sonny -- Alexis and Sonny's daughter wouldn't have bought a word that Jerry Jacks said. Anyway, after Kiefer through that glass I was hoping Alexis will come in next week and channel her inner-Cassadine all over that girl. But then we don't want child abuse as one of Alexis' many charges against her. The Morgan & Molly scenes were great though! I was even thinking of them as a cute-little-kid couple to share a little kiss, but then I forgot they were cousins. We're not talking distant either, they are first cousins (well first half-cousins), how could I forget! I'm trying to like Dominic Zamprogna. One part of me likes him as Sonny's kid, and the other part is like ehehh. But I did enjoy he and Spinelli's scenes today. Speaking of the Jackal, can we get at least a few scenes sometimes when he isn't over the top?

One Life to Live: Kish was awesome and spectacular yet again! I haven't even seen that many daytime heterosexual couples kiss like that! Scott Evans brings it and my boy Brett Claywell was just fantastic! I like, and am hoping that the show may have this Cris/Kyle friendship. Please do that OLTL. I good idea for Carlotta thinking Cris were gay were to have her thinking he's with Kyle, but have the two turn out to be like best friends. I would like that. Finally glad this Ellijah fellow is coming on. When will Gigi ever go off on Rex for treating Schuyler that way, for crying out loud he slept with Stacey, whose fiasco is quite heating up a bit.

The Young and the Restless: I love me some Victor/Nikki but I would like they with their respective partners for a little while longer, actually much longer. But keep in mind, this was due to Melody Thomas Scott's contract situation, and the tables may turn back when everything takes a turn. I was heavily bored with Nicholas and Victoria today, but not with Sharon, she was fashion in that ring! Too bad she lost reality and got busted. Anyway, you can't say Eileen Davidson isn't bringing it as a crazy Ashley, even if your ready for it to be up. Loved Adam/Heather scenes today, but they BETTER get back together! It was like a tug of war for Vail Bloom today. One side, Look at Vail doin' her thing, the other, Come on Vail, I know you're acting. But anyway Michael Muhney was good too. Perhaps Adam wants to heat things back up with Rafe now!? Doubt it. lol.

Till Next Time......

OLTL Updated Opening

MONDAY'S OBSERVATIONS: OLTL OPENING CREDITS STYLE

FYI: Version A premiered last week, B just debuted today.

If you were on twitter with me today, I was stunned and surprised a new opening would debut today, especially since they debuted the new version A last week, and the opening has been botched up since then. I LOVE STACEY' SHOT! But why does her shot seem so long and Tea's so short! But at least they have a Tea/Todd/Viki combo at the end. I also like that they have Kyle/Layla/Cris. But why is Nat right after John, but first of all why does Michael Easton have the opportunity of being an actor that always has their shot in two openings? I think Melissa Archer has been that way too. But back to John/Nat, is that foreshadowing something that was sort of reported back here? I'm confused because Natalie and Jessica have always been paired together in at least one version of the openings. But it's a good update, GH should take notice. For some reason everyday I anticipate updated opening credits.... But anyway this will serve as my first observations since Tuesday, I know, I'm slacking. LOL. Anyway, I may just be over-thinking!

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....
