The Aliens are back! DUUUUCCKK! Uh-oh, watch out! They're landing in
Llanview, and they're migrating to Port Charles! Susan, JoAnn, Toni, Babs,
Deanne,
Scott, Mansion Members...LOOK OUUUUTTT!!!
Jessica Buchanan has just tipped the looney scale over to the psycho side.
I
just watched her give away the few brain cells she managed to retrieve as
Mitch fell over the balcony of the theater. First, let me say..BRAVO,
Dorian! For
bringing that evil cult freak to his knees! Way to go, Blair, for playing
the
best accomplice role on daytime in quite awhile!
Then again, Kassie DePaiva is one of my faves, so I guess anything she
does
would make me happy.
Okay, back to Less-ica, (Less brains, that is!)
Just when it looked as if she had acquired some guts, some gusto, some
flair,
some BRAINS...going off on her own to make Mitch trust her and bring him
down...SHE WEEPS for MITCH! HUH? WHAT? He may be her father, (and as I
recall,
that came about as a result of a horrendous crime), and maybe after
hearing his
abusive childhood story, I can understand her understanding his
personality,
but....CRYING for him because he may have fallen to his death? This
substandard,
scummier than the scum of the earth, CREATURE who raped your mother,
tricked
your sister into marrying him, set up a removal of her heart, blackmailed
a
judge into awarding him your mother's assets, and not to mention the rest
of the
endless crimes! UGH! Smack her a few times...HARD!
They have turned Jessica Buchanan into an airheaded seductress-wanna-be,
and
she has been put on my list of people to fast-forward when I watch the
show.
Antonio is just been one walking ball of rage these days, and it's taking
our
focus off of the sensitive nature of the storyline. There's a child out
there,
brand new to the world, who's being forced to live without a father in her
life because her mom is being spiteful and her maternal grandfather is a
sniveling little criminal who's more interested in possessing his
daughter's time than
actually doing what's best for his granddaughter despite his own petty
differences with Antonio.
Mitch Lawrence...GRRRRR!!!! Is it me, or is his purpose being dragged out
far
beyond its limit? Adding his little brother in the mix makes his perverse
advances & sexually-charged dialogue with women and his blasphemous
ramblings
remotely tolerable. I don't know how many times I've had to put myself
through
the QuickStart, Accelerated Hypnosis Program to keep from heaving my lunch
whenever I caught Mitch giving one of his trademark predatory once-overs
of the
female characters.
And exactly what message is being given about the members of our law
enforcement? First, Mitch Lawrence was able to bribe a judge into
snatching the
Lord-Buchanan assets out from under Viki's nose, and then he can flaunt
his crimes
without the almighty Commissioner of Police being able to gather enough
evidence to stop the jerk? Man, he's a rapist, a murderer, and apparently
the
greatest master of elusion to ever live!
The criminals in this town are almost ALWAYS a step ahead of the police,
the
civilians always seem to bring crucial evidence to the cops, and the
damage
that has already been caused before the criminals are caught is usually at
the
detrimental or irreparable level. For example: HOW MANY HORRIBLE THINGS
DID
LINDSAY DO BEFORE SHE WAS CAUGHT? And even then, it was MITCH who goaded
her into
insanity and Sam's GHOST who pushed into a confession!
Speaking of the fallen Superbroom Queen...
Isn't it hilarious that she's more lovable as a legally-certified loon
than
as a loon posing as a high-society civilian? Just to be clear, I'm
referring to
Lindsay Rappaport and not Catherine Hickland! Just thought I'd clear that
up
to those of you who have given me flack for the Superbroom series. Lindsay
is
fictitious, and CATHERINE plays her brilliantly.
And now for the "Kudos" segment.
Kudos, writers, for the pairing of Al and Marcie! As much as I had torn
out
the roots of my hair during the Stalker Al era, I have truly enjoyed
watching
Al's character mature and evolve with some class. Marcie deserves true
love,
and watching her tell off Jen Rappaport was a moment I'll savor long after
my
grandchildren are grown!
Since my eldest child is only seven, I gather that you realize that's a
very
long time!
Kudos #2: For the hilarious hypnosis scenes! Roxy and Nigel were an
A-classed
comedy act, and watching the latest mismatch of Nigel and Renee while Roxy
has Asa vying for the antidote is a double bonus.
Okay, a quick ride through Port Charles.
Alexis as Dobson....HYSTERICAL! Not to mention, creative! I can tell you
that
I would probably have don't the same thing given the circumstances, but I
would probably not be as crafty keeping up the pretense as Alexis. It
could be
that Nancy Grahn is as talented an actress as Alexis is a phenomenal
character.
The reuniting of Nancy and Lane onscreen was a superb idea, and it could
only
be outdone if they allow Alexis and Cameron to hook up, battle the crazy
Q's,
get Kristina and high-tail it the hell outta there as soon as possible!
Cameron has masterfully outdone the Quartermaines up to this point, and it
would be
great if the writers would have them progress on that route.
Did I forget to mention that Big Alice hitting on "Dobson" and Zander
spotting his father kissing "Dobson" also kept me in stitches?
Then there's the cuckoo Corinthoses, who have been extended and are soon
to
add another life to the brood? Get ready, folks! We will soon witness the
introduction of Smith & Wesson's new baby line. Pediatric bulletproof
vests, gas
masks, and Teflon car seats will be available for sale at a special
mobsters'
introductory price! See the "Shop the Soaps" brochure for details.
It seems like there's an outbreak of baby fever spreading across Port
Charles
these days. Skye is hitting on Ned, to get Alexis out of the picture, to
get
to be baby Kristina's stand-in mom. Ric is freaking out, rushing to get
Liz
pregnant again, and Carly seems to be the champion from whom all of the
above
want to steal the prize belt!
WHY?? The only thing that's going to occur when these babies are born is a
massive hiring of nannies that will step in and raise them! UGH!
I respect Jason's and Courtney's decision to get married in spite of the
opposition, I was proud of Sonny's brotherly love during the gown and
tuxedo-picking ritual, and the upcoming return of Alcazar is something I'm
looking forward
to. I hope that we will be able to get a continuing dose of the good old
days, when soaps were actually entertaining, and the storylines were
something
that kept us guessing and coming back for more.
