It hasn't been a while since we've had a soap wedding, but it's been a while since it was between a couple who had a courtship that lasted more than a year. That's just one of the reasons that part one of Robin and Patrick's wedding on GH was so great. The others? Where to start? Robert's uncharacteristic nervousness? Patrick and Robert's man-to-man/father-to-father speech? Sonny's heartfelt pre-wedding chat with Robin? The flashbacks? The old school soap wedding style of ending the episode before the ceremony starts (which sadly made me realize that precious few couples these days have weddings that are important enough to stretch out over two episodes)? All in all, it was a fabulous Christmas present from GH tied with a big, shiny bow. Hope you didn't miss it.

I have to confess that I got a big goofy grin on my face while watching DAYS when the new Mayor Carver asked Bo to be his police commissioner. I've been a viewer for 24 years and have always enjoyed the camaraderie between the Salem cops. I liked how they roped Tony into the proceedings, cause, really, Thaao Penghlis is so woefully underused! I also found myself strangely affected by EJ's concern for his baby. What's more appealing than a man who looks like that and is so devoted to the idea of a child?

I am a huge fan of SUPERNATURAL, which stars Jensen Ackles (ex-Eric, DAYS). Jensen has an excellent sense of humor, which he got to display in a surprising way in last week's show. For those who don't watch (and, really, if you don't, you are missing out!), or just need a little chuckle, check out this clip.

How great was ATWT when Jack came clean to Janet about being with Carly? How often does someone on soaps actually TELL THE TRUTH to try and resolve a problem? I thought Julie Pinson did an amazing job as Janet kicked herself for confiding in Carly and trusting Jack. She showed an amazing vulnerability to Janet, who had been pretty tough as nails up to this point. Now, I have stated many times that I am a CarJacker and have always felt like they belong together, but thanks to some amazing performances from Michael Park, Maura West and Pinson, I find that I'm torn. Can I also just say how much I love Henry and Vienna? There is no other soap couple like this one and they are just endlessly entertaining. Finally, welcome back, Dusty. I love seeing him with Emily again because that relationship was left so unresolved. If you're not watching ATWT right now, that is your mistake! It's so good.

My new favorite character? Kathy on AMC. Man, is that kid a terror! So often on soaps, children are neither seen nor heard, so to have this Bad Seed lurking around corners and making trouble for Krystal is highly entertaining. I love seeing what bratty thing she's going to do next.

I loved reading your blogging entry from October 20, 2008 about Jack/Janet/Carly. I'm loving Jacket! Michael Park and Julie Pinson are so sexy, fun and fresh together!
Erica has a gorgeous guy in Jack who has great (Fitness Logos) chemistry with her and a history as long as anyone's, and they chuck that for this (Services Logo Design) boring, inconsequential, tedious, awful Wooden. Retail Logos
STEPHANIE JOHNSON IS NOT AN ORPHAN How Are We Suppose to Care about Stephanie’s Downward Spiral, If Her Own Parents Don’t??? You Know Steve & Kayla Johnson? We would like to believe in Days again. Let’s start by making the stories real and bringing back Steve & Kayla to help their daughter. Right now the story is a sad joke. Steve & Kayla would never let/leave their little Sweetness’s side when she needs them now more than ever. Bring The Johnson Family Back Together. Bring Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans Back As Steve & Kayla Johnson Nancy J Lovallo
How dare Days Of Our Lives let our Veteran Actor’s go, Fire them and then bring back the charactersOf “Carly” and "Justin." I thought there was no money and that is why our wonderful Veteran Actor’s/characters Steve, Kayla, Marlena & John were let go? Why do the writers and producers of DOOL HATE Stephen Nichols, Mary Beth Evans, Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn so much? What did they do to make them hate them enough to get rid of the best Actor’s DOOL had? The big part of the family history of DOOL? I’m disgusted by this news. Though it shouldn’t surprise me, it still does. on't forget it was our Vets that got DOOL their Emmy Nomination.
Don't forget to mention how Carly broke the window on the door and it was fixed on the next scene!
I like Stephanie's blog. I'm a DOOL fan and was wondering the same thing why Bo would have Carly sleep in there room and also wondered where Nicole will be crashing at Sami's place? Anyway I love DOOL and can't wait to see when the news will come out that Sydney is Sami's. I hope Rafe gets the DNA he needs :-)
