My worst fear is coming true. Well you know how it goes, maybe what hurts them will make Melanie & Nathan stronger? o.o
Aww! Look at the frenemies hug! Well, I hope they won't pursue a quadrangle further because Nate and Mel are too good together and so are Phil and Steph!
TVGCanada's Nelson Branco's newest Soapgeist is up, featuring Mimi Torchin.
According to the Soapgeist, things look bleak in negotiations between Steve Burton (Jason) and GH. Will a Taylor and Tad (Beth Ehlers and Michael Knight) change the direction going downward her time on the show?
His ATWT fearless Prediction: Riley start his own man-bra line. However I think hunky newcomer Hunter (Evan Alex Cole) would do a better job at that. That would be wonderful for my new and possibly only 'World Turns' guilty pleasure.
Also in the latest Soapgeist it seems as if contract negotiations seem bleak for GH and Steve Burton (Jason). Branco has nothing but praise for my Molly Burnett (Melanie, DAYS) and the premier upcoming triangle between Philip (Jay Johnson), Melanie,
Nathan (Mark Hapka), and Stephanie (Shelley Hennig). I also like that he said that Burnett, who some used to call a hair model with too much airtime, is soaring in roles opposite her cast members.
I also enjoy that Nathan has been paired with Melanie, a good start to his soap career, to boost both of their characters. Branco also 
keeps showing the love for OLTL's Shennell Edmonds (Destiny) and GH's Drew Garrett (Michael) and this week even Eddie Alderson (Matthew, OLTL). Any OLTL fan, non-watchers, or wannabe watchers definitely need to see the Soapgeist's 10 reasons to watch OLTL.
I personally want to find the script writer responsible for writing Y&R's John Driscoll (Chance) and Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe)'s lines today during the conversation. I added "during their conversation" because Hendrickson was brilliant as usual today in her scenes with Billy, Jill and Mac. The audacity to have Hendrickson say "Your return was like something out of a reality show" was outrageous. If it were from a reality show, they would have been some wine glass throwing, yelling, and Nina and Kay, and Thom Bierdz's Phillip (still waiting to give a chance) screaming at the top of their lungs. But instead it was shaking hands and "Nice to meet you". I was expecting it to get 
Maury in the Chancellor Mansion, but instead it was more like a Lame Oprah ripoff. If only Hendrickson's Chloe were in the room to shout "Who's that" we got have gotten the ball rolling. Branco writes of the storyline flop a bit in the Soapgeist, and so did Jamey Giddens in his latest Daytime Confidential editorial, hoping that this was just an off week and Y&R is back to par as usual next week. Well, you know perfection has a few bumps in the road all the time! But perhaps Clementine Ford (Mac) can show me something if she's away from Billy, because I can't help but notice some flames in that toaster oven between she and Daniel Goddard (Cane), but I will dare not break up my Lane for anyone! Once Amber and Deacon jump the broom again, how about Mac and Daniel (Michael Grazcantspellhislastname)?
Looks like Phillip/Melanie/Nathan/Stephanie kicks off into full swing this week, and is arguably one of the best things of the show besides Sami's baby and baby daddy dramas. But please enough of Chloe and Daniel! And hide poison from Kate please! The only good part about that is Kevin Spirtas return, even if its only for a few days.
Abe's interest is peaked about Bo's visions. Brady listens to Phillip and Melanie tries to convince Stephanie.
If you follow us on Twitter then you know that I was conflicted on deciding the award yesterday. At first, I was sold on the eventual winner, then I thought of a duo that delivered great performances in a saddening situation, and of another mini diva and hunk. But after delivering killer performances already that day, and that week in fact, remembering when she uttered the lines: "Kitty, Where did you put my pills!?", I knew that hands-down, Stacy Haiduk earned the Soaps-Now! Performer of the Week Award for the week of June 29, 2009! The dream sequence in which Patty recollected walking in on Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (then Donelley Rhodes), losing her baby, and shooting Jack three times was perfect, and the aftermath of it was great. Also not to mention the scene in which she was sorry for hurting Summer, but just had to get her mommy out of the picture!
Other key mentions include the duo of Michelle Stafford and Joshua Morrow (Nick and Phyllis, Y&R) who at one point thought could challenge Haiduk for this week's prize, but couldn't hold up. Also as usual, Tricia Cast (Nina, Y&R) for delivering her scenes in the Pihllip storyline on Y&R. I was also impressed with General Hospital's teen sensations Drew Garrett (Michael) and Lexi Ainsworth (Kristina), for scenes this week, especially the later. Oh, and don't forget Ms. J. Luner who I thought was not bad at all this week when she gets her baby, and her great scenes with Colby (Brianne Moncrief), and Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe, Y&R), who walked all over Clementine Ford (Mac) this week, who I am forcing myself to enjoy. Laura Wright (Carly, GH) didn't do too bad as a parental unit, and Shelley Hennig (Stephanie, DAYS) is proving she's fantastic pill-popper and can work the screen without bed time with Darin Brooks (ex-Max)! Finally, as you know I thought poor Brett Claywell's Kyle on OLTL was pushed and pulled all over the screen this week because of the whole mess with Roxy, and almost getting trounced by Natalie, then only to see his ex-lover (Shh, your not supposed to know that yet) apparently in another relationship, and he takes a shot to that! Claywell was about the best act this week other than the usual outstanders, Viki, Dorian, Todd, Tea, Starr, and it goes on.
