ABC Soaps Watch

In the first part of this clip, you could see a scene with Nora and Clint and the chemistry is undeniable. I could see them as a couple easily, maybe even marriage, he deserves so much better than Dorian and Nora is the one. They would be cute as a married couple, I’m all for that union, please TPTB make my wish come true and make them truly fall in love. It will most certainly cause fireworks between the Buchanan brothers but Bo seems more immersed in the whole Lindsay drama anyways. I don’t know, perhaps they can have something that can come between their bond as brothers because if my memory is wrong there hasn’t been one woman. That would be a fun storyline, if Clint begins to see Nora, will Bo get jealous or will he endorse this union entirely- any way it goes, I’m interested.

What is with this effort to locate Marcie and Tommy- they surely issued an Amber alert, why aren’t the efforts heightened. Seeing Ron again was refreshing, I always thought TPTB could have done something spectacular with his character other than be sitting on the sidelines. And couldn’t Kathy Brier (Marcie) calm her voice down, she was yelling out every word to her brother- I know she’s trying to play a crazy woman now, but she is overacting as a crazy lady.

Although I do not like Jared and his flimsy reasons for staying in Llanview, he surely is growing to be a member of the community. Getting to know so many people but for the most part making enemies- he’s fitting nicely into the fabric of that society. Natalie, Jessica, and Nash must treat him with more respect because he fairly owns most of the vineyard and can make all the crucial decisions about it. But why does he need the job at Buchanan Enterprises, he looks like he can afford to live well- maybe only to annoy the hell out of Natalie but otherwise grow up Jared, and stop hinging every decision on your past with Tess- you’re starting to sound like a broken record.

Although it is not completely out of character for Ryan to confront Richie with a gun, I was still surprised. The lead up to the shooting was so strange with Annie trying to reconcile with her brother, now only if she will fess up to everyone about her involvement. And I have to add, Ryan is super rich and he doesn’t try and hire someone make Richie disappear- if I were him, I wouldn’t want to get my hands dirty. Anyways Richie is shady and I’m sure some of his prison chums were not fond of him and want him dead. One other thing puzzled me, why, in the preview for Monday’s episode, did Ryan state that Richie was going down for his sister’s murder- you dummy, you pulled the trigger so it would be manslaughter with her blood on your hands.

Adam advising his son on his business and personal life was nice with both of them acting so much like father and son. And how Adam was proud that his son found a backer for his new venture, you could see that he was honestly proud. And if I were you, JR, I would stick to not mixing business with pleasure, because that little tramp, Ava, will just bring down all that hard work you put into your venture.

So it looks as if Kendall is taking her revenge plan to a whole new level, I wonder if Kendall plans to ambush Greenlee in the park. Or is she trying to take this fake friendship to a whole new level, any way you look at it, she isn’t getting nervous. When Zach walked in on Kendall, I was just waiting for him to start calling the men in the white suits to take her away, because wow that would be creepy to walk into. Then Greenlee drops everything to work on her friendship with Kendall- I guess Aidan is not that much of a priority after all.

Marcie is such a loon, thinking that she can successfully escape with Tommy and never get caught- like that will happen, Todd will spend every waking breath looking for his son. Marcie is truly nuts, she is devoid of any sane, normal thoughts anymore, St. Ann’s should make some room for her when she returns, she’s crazy. At least Lindsay is faking her condition, Marcie is the real deal- I fear for her. I was especially creeped out when she told them that Tommy told her that she should do this- cuckoo, cuckoo.

I really like seeing this side of Dorian, where she is very welcome to Langston and to the idea that she will adopt her. Langston is totally a Cramer girl, even more than Adrianna- now only if Adrianna will leave town and Langston can become Dorian’s true daughter. She was very brave to keep up that secret for almost two years, wow I could never keep a secret for that long! She should get grief counseling to deal with her parents’ deaths, she must be dying inside. I think her living with Dorian at her house, La Boulaie is a good idea because it will toughen her up and help her grow as a woman.

How nice was it to see Renee and Nigel today, I wish we could see them everyday. I especially love that she is so grandmother-like since Asa has died, she is the true Matriarch of the Buchanan family. She has been a hateful character in the beginning but has turned into a loving, great character that we all can relate to. Thankfully Nora and Matthew have decided to stay at the Buchanan mansion, the mansion would be so empty without them.

Kendall has gone from bad to worse, telling Spike of her revenge plans- now that seems a little crazy. It can be argued that she is entitled to this level of insanity due to recent circumstances but you’ve got to have a grip on the situation. Now that would be a great storyline, a character having a nervous breakdown- I’m game for that storyline. What will make the revenge plot even more interesting is that Zach walked in on Kendall in her dream mode- how embarrassing!

And Greenlee this whole idea of forgiveness from Ryan and the others is a figment of your imagination- they will never forgive you. They may publicly tell you that they forgive you, but will they mean it- hell no, they hate your guts. And given the current situation with Richie, there are bigger fish to fry and Ryan would not want to waste his resources on a person like you. I am so excited that Greenlee has taken up another career as a PI- not, I couldn’t care less what she is, it won’t make me like her more.

Richie is such a smooth criminal, I can believe that he is that evil- now they have to find out the root of this evil. It may go back to when he was a boy scout and his friend drowned under mysterious circumstances. And if I were Annie, I would keep an open mind that maybe Aidan and Ryan were trying to kill my own brother, some part of her has to love her brother- irregardless of what he did in the past.

And how disgusting seeing JR and Ava going at it in the bushes- plus the fact that they were in public, anyone could have seen them. Have these writers have any decency, I mean children sometimes watch this show and anyways JR just got out of boinking Amanda. I guess Ava is just used to that raw sex, since she was a hooker and all but come on let’s write smart sexual scenes for the future.

I really think that Kendall is finally losing it after today’s episode, she is pushing the revenge plot to a new high. One could argue that she is entitled to lose her sanity due to what Greenlee has done to her and her family and I slightly agree. But I believe anyone who lives for hatred or revenge is really losing part of themselves and I don’t want that to happen to Kendall. I am quite afraid that this revenge plot could end her up in jail and will blow up in her face like her other schemes. All I know is that Kendall should do her best to protect her family but revenge is not the answer, because it only brings on more hurt.

Each and every day it is becoming more apparent that Jonathan truly loves Lily, not Ava-when will that fool realize that. It is apparent that Lily still has feelings for Jonathan, since she was saddened when she found out about the proposal and engagement. Attention writers, put Jonathan back with Lily- their reunion is written in the stars, it’s inevitable.

What makes a good guy in Pine Valley, we are supposed to believe that Ryan and Aidan are good guys but their actions speak volumes. Ryan and Aidan went way too far to make a point to Richie and to make him confess. Ryan has a past of being a violent goon, and yet he is so loved on the canvas. Another thing that bothered me about these two is that the dumb Pine Valley P.D. left them in the interrogation room together, that is not police procedure- they could get their stories together, and that’s wrong.

From Lynda Hirsch-

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nikolas finds himself in an alley holding a bloody knife, as Jerry is brought into the emergency room suffering from a stab wound. Jerry lies to Mac and claims a stranger attacked him in the alley. Jerry confirms Emily’s fears when he tells her that Nikolas was the person who stabbed him — and he later reveals the same to Jax. Nikolas goes into denial when Emily tells him about Jerry’s claim. Lucky threatens to file for sole custody of Jake unless Elizabeth gives in to his demands. Scott tells Lulu he will give up guardianship of Laura if she makes up with Logan. Lulu takes the offer. Robin realizes she wants a baby, even if it means being a single mother. Robin makes a list of possible fathers. Jason traps Johnny. Carly is upset when she learns Jax may help Kate start a new magazine. An unseen figure snaps a photo of Jax and Carly in an intimate moment. Coop tells Maxie she is going to end up alone and lonely.

SNEAK PEEK: Sonny meets his enemy.

So Nikolas is going to have a flagship storyline with his mysterious black outs and stabbing Jerry, this storyline is turning out to be scary. I wonder if he was the person who killed Leticia but why would he be near her to begin with, anyways it would be a quick out for this exciting, new storyline. The Dark Prince is finally to show his colors after years of being behind the innocent Nikolas- they should totally play the storyline this way, not a split personality but when he sleeps he does these things in his sleep that he can’t control. I’ve heard of this in current events with certain sleeping drugs that compel people to sleepwalk and possibly drive, it’s a scary reality and I would love to see it be played on-screen.

Scott really is a great father, even if he doesn’t show it too much on the surface- willing to give up Laura, the woman he never got over, for his son, Logan. I hope that Scott has a permanent base in Port Charles because it would be a shame to have him leave after a triumphant, exciting tenure in 2007. Now only if GH can find a way to get back Genie Francis to finally clear up this storyline of Laura’s custody, now that Luke is coming back.

From Lynda Hirsch-

ONE LIFE TO LIVE: Todd, fearing he might lose his son to Michael and Marcie, suggests they all consider a shared custody agreement — but Marcie won’t even entertain the idea. Marcie remains angry at Michael for lying to her about how long he had known the truth about Tommy. Michael and Marcie’s world is shattered when the judge awards Todd custody of Tommy. Todd arrives to take Tommy, only to discover that Marcie has fled with the baby. Marcie arrives at her brother Ron’s house. Ron tries to persuade Marcie to return Tommy, but she only rails she can never go back to Michael, that she can never forgive Michael. Langston is blown away when Markko tells her that he loves her. Dorian informs Langston she knows her parents are dead. Dorian wants to take in Langston. Clint and Nora grow closer. Jared continues to antagonize Natalie. Sarah is thrilled by the coup she pulled off in getting the big name act to perform at Capricorn.

SNEAK PEEK: Marcie starts a new life.

How on earth can that wacky judge give custody to Todd, granted he is Tommy’s father- his past should have been the nail in the coffin for him. In the real world, judges would never give custody to such a dangerous person,irregardless of if he is a great father. But I do not applaud Marcie’s efforts to keep Tommy, kidnapping is so overdone in this genre but I think OLTL can tell a compelling story. The fact that she will never forgive Michael adds a another interesting part to the storyline, she won’t even trust her soulmate. They have better not drag this storyline out until next summer because that is the length of normal kidnapping storylines in soaps and I tend to lose interest, fast!

The truth about Langston finally comes to the surface-her parents are dead and she’s been living on her own for awhile. She is very brave for doing this all alone, forging signatures and whatnot, basically taking care of herself- what a dependable girl. Trust me she’s better off on her own, without the influence of Dorian, she is just a disaster on two legs that is incapable of being a good mother. Dorian watch your back, it seems Nora and Clint are getting much closer- maybe she should have minded her own business and seen the closeness of those two. I can see them having an affair- he wouldn’t leave Dorian for Nora.

From Lynda Hirsch-

ALL MY CHILDREN: Ryan and Aidan grab Richie and take him to the pump house. Richie plays it cool and claims Annie is the crazy one. Aidan makes Richie sweat when he puts a noose around his neck. As the police storm the room, Richie kicks the chair out from under him and makes it look as though Ryan and Aidan were about to execute him. Ritchie takes everyone by surprise when he clears Ryan and Aidan, claiming they didn’t try to hurt him. While alone with Ryan, Ritchie lets his truly evil self show, as he throws down the gauntlet. Zach confesses to Kendall that Hannah wanted to make a baby with him, but he refused. J.R. admits to Amanda that he’s working with Zach to get Greenlee out of Fusion. Kendall continues to plant fake, psychotic journal entries on Greenlee’s computer. Jack sincerely wishes Jonathan well and hopes he’ll be happy with Ava. Ava feels guilty for almost sleeping with J.R. and gives Jonathan the chance to call off the wedding. Ava claims she’s not good enough for Jonathan, but he insists that isn’t the case at all.

SNEAK PEEK: Ryan scares Richie.

So Richie is a smart one, he’s one that can turn the tables in a heartbeat- I think I’ll like his character. I’d love to see someone oppose Aidan and Ryan and take them down, they think they are so much better when they’re not. But with truly evil characters there is no redemption, but he seems really sweet when he is with his niece, Emma and Little A.

I wonder how the ever cool Jonathan will react to Ava almost sleeping with JR- he will just unload on Adam Jr. Ava having a guilty conscience is giving her a more human exterior, a character that has a chance to survive well into the new year.
