The Soap Digest

OMG how good was the show today????? Talia confronting Carlo, Lindsay finally confessing to all her lies, Cole telling Todd about the baby. I love Nora, i felt bad that everyone was dumping on her- she should have found a way to do it in private and not embarass Bo. I'm sooo glad Bo didn't fall for Lindsay's tears and excuses yet again, but sorry that he was hurt. I was going to be so mad if he forgave her for lying yet again after he told her he wouldn't. Bo needs his backbone back and I think he found it today.

It was. Matthew and Clint gave Nora an ear full. I was surprised to see Matthew, first, give it to Nora about how she's out to get Lindsay. Poor Bo looked so hurt when he talked to Linds in private. She begged him to overlook the lies and Bo said he could have overlooked the initial lie if she had later been honest. Go Bo.

Todd did not... I said did not.. attack Cole when Cole told him about the baby. At first Todd didn't believe Cole, but as Cole explained about Blair finding out when Todd pushed Starr down the steps, you could see he was starting to believe the story. Finally Cole told him about Starr's plan to have Marcy and Michael adopt the baby and then we knew Todd believed.

Meanwhile, Starr was talking to Michael about adopting the baby. We could see how much Michael wanted to adopt the baby, but was trying to fight the notion as Starr laid out her reasoning. He promised to think about it. When Starr left she ran into Marcy coming home from the failed wedding. Outside the apartment Starr said she saw Marcy with her lawyer and hoped that meant Marcy was considering the adoption. Marcy asked Starr not to mention the meeting of the lawyer to Michael.

Carlo and Talia spoke. Talia said her mother didn't want her to become a cop, for fear she would need to  hunt down Carlo. Talia said she tried to be the best cop she could to make up for his crimes. Carlo escaped from prison with the help of the former police chief- so now we know the connection and why the chief was so nasty to Talia, he tried to get her to quit the force. Carlo is somehow entwined with Tina and the fake prince, which is why Sara is also kidnapped.

Good point about Todd and guilt. Wouldn't it be crazy if Todd convinces Marty to marry him before she regains her memory and before he tells everyone that she's alive? What a dilemma, Cole and Starr step siblings and more pull to try to get custody of the baby with Marty. Things are going to get messy, whatever happens.

I loved Nora sticking it to Lindsay while she was being arrested, all the things Nora has probably wanted to say. I wonder what's going to happen to Lindsay and if Nora's strong attitude is going to push Bo back to Lindsay (I hope not).

I just crack up about the David Vickers dog. Glad to see David and Vicky in a scene together. I have a feeling she'll be glad about the marriage, but make David promise not to screw Addie.

I have to miss the show tomorrow, but I'll be listening so I won't miss the words, just the actions.  The show is just so good!

Thanks for telling me what happened in the last scene. I listened to the whole thing, I wish I could have seen everything, but better than missing it. I guess today is going to be good when we find out what happens when Todd is at Marcy's and also, when Cole and Starr talk.

I agree with all your points Felicia. I was talking more about the issue of a father taking custody if the mother wants to give the child up for adoption than the specifics of Starr and Cole. You're right that Cole wants to create a family and he's not realistic about what having a baby entails. I also think Star has been a bit impuslive about her decision, since she didn't talk it over with her mother, grandmother, Aunt Viki or even Langston. (note that I left Dorian's name out). Star hasn't examined the consequences on the baby if adopting to a family she knows where Todd is concerned, let alone the McBains.

I also miss the previews. I wonder why they're doing that. I was too busy to get any scoops this week.

She's going to fake die for a few days so she can go to heaven and see her dead friends and family LOL. She was on the view yesterday with the actor who plays Bo and she talked about her next last name being shorter than some of the others (Banks). Ooops/ did she mean to spill that!!!!!!!!!!!

Agnes Nixon started off by recapping Monday. Viki was back in heaven where Jess's daughter Megan (played by the old jessica) was her guide. Viki saw Ben who encouraged her about Charlie and who told her to go back to earth. They shared some tender moments including a flashback sequence of their love.

Dorian encountered Mel who told her to stop living in Viki's shadow. He chided her for going after Clint and accused her of doing to to get back at Viki, which Dorian reluctantly admitted. He implored Dorian to tell the truth about what she did to Charlie. Meanwhile, David showed up at the site of the accident and was visibly disturbed about Viki,. He begged Dorian to try to save Viki. Initially Dorian was incredulous because she believed David was in love with Viki, He told her that he loved her as a FRIEND and she didn't know the meaning of the word friendship. As AH said, he promised to leave Addie if Dor saves Viki, Dorian wanted the promise in writing before she tried, which caused a reaction in Mel, standing behind her. Dor miraculously found a shot of what was needed to save Viki,

Cristian swam out to save Sarah and Tina was relieved, until Carlos informed her that the two would go over the falls (a repeat of what he did to Tina years ago). I read that the actress who plays Sarah is not returning to the role and she will be presumed dead (yay).

Meanwhile, back at the ranch (literally) Bo was still Asa and Rex still Bo. The actress who plays Gigi was, in 1968 one of Renees hookers, and Spencer Truman's mother. Shane played a young and bratty Spencer.  Gigi (as Valerie or whatever her name was )  was making the moves on Bo (as Asa) and Rex (as a young Bo) tried to get Gigi to notice him, chiding Bo (as Asa) for going after Gigi. Bo (as Bo) reminded Rex that this was Asa not Bo... it was very funny -- again, the two actors Bob Woods and JP lavousier (sp) were phenomenal.

TY-- I really love the show. I couldn't give that much description for AMC or any other show I like.

Felicia I've just gotten back to the boards since moving back home. My cable was finally hooked up thursday-- it was supposed to be done tuesday but since there were burnt wires they had to send someone with one of those cherry pickers. I digress, I was unpacking boxes during the show on both days so I don't have my usual thorough update.

Dorian saw a female version of Mel who convinced her to come clean with Viki-- well partially clean. Viki summoned Dor to her bedside to thank Dor for saving her life. At first Dorian was defensive then she admitted when she thought Viki had died she felt as if she lost her best friend. Dor admitted that she never slept with charlie and that charlie only had wonderful things to say about Viki and his love for her. Dor stopped short of admitting to drugging Charlie and forcing beer down her throat.

Charlie felt conflicted after learning Brody isn't Shane's father in AA, but knowing he couldn't say anything because of the anonymity. I think Charlie felt that if he could tell Rex the truth, it would somehow make up for lying about being his father. Dorian told Charlie about the crfash and that Viki wanted to see him.

Clint and Nora tried to bribe David to annul his marriage to Addie so they could get back BE (not sure how that works since David is actually a Buchanan), unaware he had already promised Dorian he'd do the same. Nora's sarcastic facial expressions to David's remarks about his sexiness were priceless. Clint offered David 10 million dollars for the annulment. You could see how conflicted David has been about divorcing Addie. I think he genuninely cares for Addie and I hate to see how she'll react to his news. I reallyt like her.

John and Blair had a serious discussion over wine about todd and moving on and you know what happens when Blair has a serious discussion with a man over wine when not getting along with Todd....

Meanwhile Todd reluctantly told Marty about being raped, leaving out that he was the rapist. She wanted details and Todd didn't want to give them. Marty really pressed him as to why it happened and Todd showed insight into talking about how the ringleader (Todd) hated himself and felt small etc. Marty got the impression, which Todd allowed, that Todd saved Marty and helped her recover, rather than being the rapist.

Star made a video tape for her baby talking about how hard it was to give her/him up. That part was kind of nonbelievable because the actress didn't really pull it off, in my opinion. I like Kristen Alderson, I just don't think she has the acting range that some like the actress playing Langston does. Kristen does angry and scared well, but she doesn't do sad, grieving as well. I wouldn't want to see a different Star though.

I want Brody to go away and as much as I love Gigi, I want to smack her for perpetuating the lie that he is Shane's father. Gigi has a spine, she needs to remember that.

Erika Slezak is taking a vacation on and off screen as she does every summer. Last year Viki was off the canvas for two months when she ended up at the bon jour, I hope she's  not away as long this year. Speaking of the bon jour, how funny was Moe as a hippy in 1968. I wish there was a way to bring him to llanview.

where are my fellow fans? I'm not enjoying the Mendora storyline, even though I love Talia. I wished that Sara had either died going over the river OR they replaced the actress. I really hope that Gigi FINALLY tells Rex the truth about Shane when he returns back from 1968...
