They're Alive!

Wow, finally an eventful day in Soap Land!

As the World Turns

Luke comes out! Van Hansis who plays Luke has done a wonderful job portraying the tormented Luke. Finally, pushed by Jade's sexual advances to his father, Luke refuses to continues the lies and deception and comes out to both his parents. The scenes were poignant and thoroughly enjoyable.

The aftermath of Mike's arrest continued today. As the incompetent Oakdale PD strikes again, Katie is in denial. It amazes me how they can never catch the guilty or keep them in jail only the innocent. However, watching Mike and Katie's friends and family rally around them was moving. Mike and Katie's scenes where they comforted and supported each other were particularly sweet and painful as Mike was taken away. Mark Collier who plays Mike had a 5 o'clock shadow so I'm guessing it was a long day of filming. LOL!

One Life to Live

I really enjoyed Michael and Marcie's wedding today. The bride and groom were finally the focus as their family and friends joined in celebrating their marriage. They had all the tradition wedding rituals like the toast, the first dance, the cutting of the cake and the garter belt. I wasn't particularly fond of Marcie's singing, but it worked.

Despite the attempts to make him seem unreasonable, I was completely on Antonio's side as he demanded that the baby (have they even named her yet?). Tessica is mentally ill. I don't understand how anyone would allow her to take custody of a baby.

The big sweeps event was the tornado. I wasn't sure what to think about it, but it definitely furthered the new pairing of Chris and Evangaline. I love the soaps, but there are moments where I have to wonder if writers have lost their minds. I had that exact thought as I watched Kelly have sex with her former step-son. Talk about stomach churning stuff.

The Young and the Restless

Neil now knows that Malcolm is Lily's father. At first, I was stunned that Neil didn't believe Dru about having sex with Malcolm while she was drugged, but then I realized that her story is quite incredulous. Would anyone believe what happened? It didn't help that she didn't tell Neil right away.

The Bold and the Beautiful

Susan Flannery was wonderful as usual as she worried over Ridge's condition. I can't believe that she is buying into Ridge's guilt trip about Brooke.

How old is Katherine Kelly Lang? The woman still has a great body, but her undressing for all these different men has gotten old.

For once Bridget was wise as she decided to take things slowly with Dante as they have absolutely no chemistry. I am hoping for a Felicia/Dante hook up.
