I braved the bitter cold, and high heels, on Friday night to attend a shindig for ATWT's Terri Colombino (Katie), Austin Peck (Brad), Ewa Da Cruz (Vienna) and Dylan Bruce (ex-Chris). The quartet took part in a photo shoot commemorating presidential inaugurations of old. Think the Washingtons, the Kennedys, the Reagans and the Clintons. The pictures are gorgeous, of course and they can be seen in CBS Watch! Magazine. It was great to catch up with Terri, Ewa, Austin after hours, so to speak and hear about what Dylan's been up to: auditions, auditions, auditions in sunny L.A. I won't divulge too much of what was said or done, as Digest will be running pictures and my colleague Mala is writing about it for this Web site. Keep your eyes peeled!

I know Nuke fans are thrilled that long suffering couple, Luke and Noah finally knocked boots. The twosome's lack of intimacy has been a bone of contention with viewers since the pairing was established. Personally, I thought it was refreshing to see a suds duo who didn't jump in the sack immediately. Although I must admit, a year is an awfully long time.
Despite all the hubbub about Nuke, I am more excited to catch Laurence Lau's Oakdale exit tomorrow. I fully expect the daytime vet to knock Brian's departure out of the park. Liz Hubbard has been fabulous as a lonely, devastated, proud Lucinda in the last week and I can't wait to see how Lucinda and Brian's marriage formally ends. On that note, I vote to send Lucinda a nubile boy toy in the future!

Okay, I get that ATWT's Craig is a maniacal menace. That said, I have to side with Katie's decision to tell her sinister sibling about Johnny's location and illness. Despite Craig's numerous offenses, Johnny (or Craig Jr. as he calls him) is his flesh and blood and he absolutely has a right to know the tot is about to go under the knife. I am also really enjoying Jon Lindstrom as Craig. Lindstrom's dark, snarky, butter-wouldn't-melt-in-his-mouth sociopath is a pleasure to watch. As far as I am concerned, the more Craig the better!
I am still completely on the fence with Noelle Beck as Lily. I want to see her do some damage along with her Mom, Lucinda. That whole relationship needs to be shown way more! And, I think Lucinda needs to be on MORE, MORE, MORE! So, let's get it going! Welcome to the fold of ATWT fans! I have been an on and off subscriber for years and an ATWT fan for over 20 years, yikes!
It sounds like you're having fun over there. Keep up the good work!
I'm also glad to see Jack and Janet get together. Janet is definitely a worthy adversary to Carly, and I hope that Janet wins out in the end.
Just wanted to say that I loved your interview with Terri Colombino in SOD awhile back.
It's been awhile. I hope that Erika is still blogging and covering ATWT. I thought she was doing a wonderful job!
Is Terri Colombino (Katie) pregnant in real life? You don't see much of her lately on the show. I just wondered if she is and they are working it in to the show. It will be nice for Katie and Brad to finally have a baby of their own.
