On the box for this week, Harley and Mallet do the
deed, Reva returns to Lewisville, Sandy doesn’t look like he’s
leaving, Beth the next Spaulding Psycho, and what is Alan-Michael’s
point? So I knew it was coming (thanks to spoilers) but still felt
absolutely horrified when I witnessed Marley and Hammer hit the
sheets. Harley has been throwing back quite a few since the whole Gus
thing went down and seeing the drunk Harley nearly take home a
stranger was disturbing. Of course Mallet came to her rescue as if it
was what he was born to do, but ends up climbing into bed with her
himself. Harley can be so self –righteous and annoying sometimes and
you would think after how destroyed she felt when Mallet cheated on
her she wouldn’t be so quick to dish out the same pain to her new best
friend Dinah. I am so mad at these two for being so irresponsible and
sharing yet another secret that could potentially kill the people they
love. Look GL writers, pairing Dinah with Mallet was the smartest
thing you’ve done as of late. We want to give these guys a chance,
leave the home wrecking to the Olivia’s of the world and just let
theses two be happy puh-lease! I’m jes sayin.
It was fun watching Reva strut back into Lewis construction or Oil
or whatever it is they are pedaling these days. It looks to me like
Billy Lewis is crushing on the former, self-proclaimed, “Slut of
Springfield”. It could work; Reva and Billy really connect like dear
old friends with a ton of history. And Josh has obviously decided to
ride the Olivia train for the time being. So, I say why not? Just
don’t show us any “love scenes” between those two, let’s just say that
ship has sailed for the aging actors. Seeing Billy entertain a “paid
escort” over the holidays was damaging enough, thank you very much.
Well, much to my disappointment, it seems there is a new story line
brewing for “The Sandman”. I guess he plans to insert himself in every
non-threating aspect of Tammy’s life and make Jonathan look like the
one who is crazy. It’s very cliché and has been done to death and I
really hope for Tammy’s sake she isn’t stupid enough to think that all
this supposed coincidence is just that. Whatever, as I said before,
the Tammathan fire is starting to fizzle for me anyway.
One thing we were privileged to see on Weds. “Inside the Light”, is
that Beth is keeping Gus and Alan hostage. What I hate about this is
that Beth is such a lost cause character, you can slut her up, class
her up and screw her up, and it really doesn’t matter. She has zero
likeability and not since she was the kooky Lorelei Hills have I been
interested in her story. What I love about this is that 1. Seeing Alan
as the normal guy is always fun, when he was being drugged by
Alexandra and loved Harley’s Mac and Cheese he was loveable, his
devotion to Gus despite their differences is being made clear during
this captivity and I like it, I like it a lot! 2. I find it very
amusing how naturally the idea of kidnapping and keeping prisoners
keeps popping up on GL. Olivia locked up Gus in a closet at Spaulding
when she felt threatened by him, Edmund has locked up his share of
people in tower’s and the replicated farm houses. Lizzie turned the
tables on Alan and locked him up as well! Why do we have exhaustive
trials for accidental fires yet there are dozen’s of kidnapping
crazy’s walking around Springfield free and clear? Also as a side note
I wanted to complain about this Wednesday’s “Inside the Light” which
was supposed to star Gus. They had little to no scenes with Gus and
decided to showcase Harley and Mallet and takes us to work with Reva
on her first day back at Lewis, what that has to do with Gus, I dunno
but I gotta say, I feel cheated.
Which leads me to my next topic. Alan-Michael. I was so psyched to
have this guy return, especially after the untimely loss of Philip, we
needed a familiar Spaulding to take over the legacy. But what is the
appeal of running this company? Especially if you can be elected CEO
by simply standing up and spouting out some nonsense about honesty and
integrity, blah! Spaulding is the big bad Company that stomps all over
the competition and Lewis is the honest and forthright company that
provides excellent personal relations at reasonable prices. Some
things must remain Black and White on soaps; too many shades of gray
can lead to channel changes! Don’t get me wrong I want Alan-Michael
heading up Spaulding, no doubt about it. I just don’t get his angle
and still am so stupefied by the pairing of him and Marina. (Who by
the way has been dressing like a 60 year-old Jewish woman on a
Las-Vegas vacation.) He’s already shown that the love of a good woman
can make all the difference when he and Lucy were a couple. If GL is
trying to play that card again with Lucy’s much younger niece, and
that Marina is going to save Alan-Michael from himself just in time to
save Harley from losing her company, I say snooze and puh-lease. We
have got to give Marina someone to hang out with instead of saving
lost causes.
Lastly I am really excited for next Wednesday’s “Inside the Light”
with Tom Pelphrey’s Jonathan. Although Tammy and Jonathan are at a
stand still right now, Jonathan is by far my favorite character and I
look forward to seeing an entire hour of him. I know I am not alone on
that one!
Well, that’s it for this week. Till next time..
