The Soap Digest

I forgot to say that I absolutely love Addie. She's fast becoming one of my favorite stars of the show. I love her naive passion for life and the looks on Dorian's face are priceless.

I will keep my eyes opened Peg. Do you know if the actress who plays Addie signed a long term contract? I love love love her- she's such a great character and the actress playing her is phenomenal.

I've got some gossip for OLTLers... and if true I'm thrilled. I know Bree was married, so might be probably bi and not sure about Bethann (Officer Talia Sahib). If true, I hope they come out so that gays can have better representation in the soap world. Tuc is the only out actor I'm positive about. I also think being out is good for gay teens, who have a higher rate of drop out (due to harassment), depression and suicide than their heterosexual counterparts.

Bree Williamson and Bethann Bonner. They both star on the soap One life to Live. While not completely out, it's said close friends and relatives know about their relationship. And it's pretty much an open secret in the soap world.

OMG-- what did you guys think about the Tommy/Sam hand over? I thought it was sooooo powerful. I almost  didn't make it home in time to see. Do you guys think Marcy is going to end up in St. Ann's with Lindsay?

Sorry for the guy who fell off the building too bad it wasn't Trump, but jeez, how is that important enough to break into the soaps??? The actual moment they left the diner was one of the most poignant moments I've seen on daytime. It was silent, Michael walking out first with his hands in the air shaking, the gun in his belt, crying- he is one fantastic actor.  John removes the gun and Michael holds out his hand to Marcie and they walk out slowly, both crying. He stands in front of Marcie and Tommy to protect them and Todd motions the police to put down the guns.  Michael and Marcie stop briefly, he gives her one last hug and she proceeds forward towards Todd, crying and shaking. Todd walks a few steps forward and Marcie approaches him, knowing she has to give up Tommy. Todd motions to her and gently (at least gently for Todd) takes Tommy from her. He hugs the boy and takes a few steps to be alone with Tommy. Marcie doesn't have long to stand in tears, she is pushed onto a police car and cuffed, with Michael shouting in the background not to hurt her. This is the first time there is sound. Back to Todd who calls the boy Sam-- jeez talk about confusing a kid.

I would assume Todd would have to legally change Tommy's name, because they'll have to do a new birth certificate the way they do when a kid is adopted-- but who knows, the soaps don't always do things the way they happen in real life.

I cried yesterday when Viki said goodbye to the people at the Bon Jour cafe and I realized I'm going to miss them a lot. I keep wondering how many of them will end up in Llanview. Gigi and Shane are pretty much a definite. I can't help but to think Mo and Noelle will come too, doesn't Llanview need a new restaurant?

BTW, I almost never cry at tv-- the powers that be at OLTL did a great job getting me to care about these newbies.

Addie has fast become one of my favorite characters. She is a breath of fresh air and the actress who plays her is phenomenal. A lesser actress would have destroyed the balance between the initial appearance of craziness and what later turns out to be normal fun. I hope she stays on the show forever and they don't do something horrible by making her mentally ill again.

How about Roxie and Shane bonding? The grandmother and the grandson before they know it....

I watch AMC- Angie is back treating her son Frankie for an infectious disease. Jesse has been lurking in  the background visiting Frankie, but when Frankie told Angie she assumed he was hallucinating. Jesse told Frankie today that he wishes he could have been there growing up and that he wishes he could tell Frankie why he had to be away. This should be interesting.
