Okay the fight storyline was the worst if this crap continues
it might even make the Carly stuff look only bad instead of crappy.

But the rest was not bad. Sadly, there really are only three character/acters
whom I detest--Crystal Chappell at the head of the list, Patrick Muldoon,
and Lisa Rinna--RKK is mildly bad, but if taken away for Crystal might
improve--I am willing to give him a chance--Michael Sabatino who is
a fair actor as long as he is not playing the pussy-whipped one-deminsional
prop for Crystal. The rest of the cast I like quite a bit. Wayne is
a little more interesting now. Deidre Hall has improved and I look
forward to a teaming of her and John. Drake is interesting if he would
just become the hero/cop again, he works so well in that vain. Matt
I do not have to even comment about. Melissa Reeves works well with Matt.
SHH is the most glamorous, and best talent actress they have. Joy Garrett
is great as a comic edge to Jack, or in serious scenes. The Hortons are
the show's foundations, and the acters who play them are still enjoyable.
Richard Biggs is a great and his character is entitled to so much more.
This plus the new Kim seems to have potential--in fact what about a Kim
and Lizard match? It is a damn shame that the three pathetic acters 
receive over 80% of the airtime, while we lose the likes of SHH, Mary
Beth Evans, George Jansky,  Charlotte Ross, and Stephen Nichols.


Oh well, as for Tuesday.

This new character, Rebecca is interesting. I can take her
as a "temporary" match for John, but I am really, really
am looking forward to a John/Marlena match. I loved the
scenes today when John was with Rebecca, she was all
over him, and he was nervously looking over at Marlena.
Then when he and Rebecca were dancing, he was glancing
over at Marlena, and she at him. Uhhhh, uhhh, uhhh, uhh
(to quote Arnold Horseshack) Marlena pensively looking at
her charm bracelet.

It was nice to see Philip involved in things. He sure looks
promising. Along with Jack, Marcus, and John he is one
of the top male characters for me.

Again, the new Kim looks promising. She is more understated
than Pasty's version. Pasty did tend to OVER act the part.
It was to the point that it was so stupid that I did not care
at all about the character's illness. The new Kim she seems to
have more depth. The one high point of Monday's episode was the
scene between Limpydick and Kim (after Carpetstain had left). I
was wondering, and then that evening I spoke to Vixen who agreed,
that a possible pairing of the two might be interesting.


Okay, I am most biases, but still I thought Matt did a damn
good job today. He looked hurt, was angry, all without be
overstated. Crystal is all over that place with obnoxious
facial expressions, others over react in scenes were he/she
are suppose to be angry, but Matt played it prefect. I really
was impressed that the writers brought up his past, that Harper
would get him jobs, now his wife, that he wants to do stuff on
his own power. Also, it was nice seeing Jack interact with Julie
and Victor--it sure is a shame that we are losing SHH, she and
Matt work so well together.

Missy Reeves was not bad either. She does fair emotional/dramatic
scenes with Matt. But it was Matt's scene. It also was nice seeing
Jack angry, for the past couple of years we really have not seen
that, fear of the rape backlash, now it is good to see him deal with
hurt and anger instead of being a buffo.

Oh well...I think that I could have KO'd Asstin using only my left.
The guy has a glass looking jaw, he has no torso, no stomache
muscles, as if he really could take numerous of belting to his
face and stomache. BARF.
