Soapgeist's Fearless Predictions

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)?

Performer of the Week: Florencia Lozano (Tea, OLTL)

Last week, I requested that everyone stepped their game up this week -- and everyone brought their A game! This led to a decision that almost took all weekend to make, even with the influence of a reader's poll. Thanks to everyone who voted, and helped! But that laughing, crying, yelling performance that she gave on Friday to Todd was the best performance of the week, and therefore earned Florencia Lozano the Soaps-Now! Performer of the Week Award for July 13, 2009!
That look she had when she saw Todd and Blair in the cabana. Then that horrific yelling turned into laughing with tears, then pushing Todd into the pool. But is she really done with Todd? Not only was her Friday awesome, but her Tuesday was also when she interrupted the Cramer/McBain/Manning family breakfast. Congrats to Lozano, who also shared the award with Kassie DePaiva (Blair, OLTL) for the week of June 22.

Leading the pack of runner-ups is 3-time nominee Drew Garrett (Michael, GH) who couldn't have delivered a better performances Thursday and Friday, in conflict with Kristina's boyfriend Kiefer, and later Kristina herself, and also dealing with Kiefer on Wednseday. Close behind is ATWT's Maura West (Carly) who finally caved into going to rehab and admitting she had a problem, and Y&R's own 3-time nominee and past winner Stacy Haiduk (Patty) who never fails bringing our favorite daytime psycho up to par. Rounding out the runner-up category are 2-time nom Chrishell Stause (Amanda, AMC), who finally decided she needs to see her baby, Daniel Goddard (Cane, Y&R) dealing with seeing all of the people he has hurt, and deciding to leave town, and Mick Hazen (Parker, ATWT) who begged his mother Carly to get help this week.

This week's honorable mentions include Allison Sweeney and Arianne Zuker (Sami & Nicole, DAYS) who made an unlikely duo this week! They are awesome friendly with each other, and just wait till the truth about Sydney comes out! Also impressive this week were 3-time noms and last week's winners Tricia Cast and Jeanne Cooper (Nina & Kay, Y&R) who never cease to impress. Ellen Dolan (Margo, ATWT) had remarkable performances this week. Y&R's Christel Khalil (Lily) did a great job this week, and leaves us to think about how she'll do when Lily actually battles cancer. Last but not least, our last honorable mention is Jay Kenneth Johnson (Phillip, DAYS) who edged out Evan Alex Cole (Hunter, ATWT) for this position but I couldn't help but mention him also. But Jay was brilliantly sympathetic as Phillip this week.

Btw, she didn't make it to become a honorable mention, but that was a heck of a beatdown that Laura Wright (Carly, GH) gave to the country club manager on Friday! Just sayin xD

Until next time...!

This Week's DAYS Preview

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.
