Note to Y&R's Sharon: Love the new hair color but since your tresses are still the same length, you just look like Brunette Sharon in tart wear. That's not how to be on the run. Why didn't you just simply don a short, dark wig like a true fugitive instead of spending several time-consuming minutes (better spent on fleeing) with a bottle of dye?

It's no secret that I'm a bit of an "apologist" when it comes to B&B's Brooke and Amber. In Brooke's case, I feel like she's been unfairly painted as the villain in the drama surrounding Thomas and their kiss. As for Amber, portrayer Adrienne Frantz makes her scheming character so sympathetic that I often ended up feeling badly for her — even when Amber had done something wrong. That said, today's episode left me and my colleague, Mala Bhattacharjee, outraged and made me want to shake both characters.

At first, I thought tacking on a "whodunnit?" to the story of GH's little Jake dying diminished its power. But as it has played out, the search for who hit Jake was just the prelude to an ancillary plot that carries a different kind of punch. Luke was behind the wheel of the car that killed Jake, and he'd been drinking.

I have mixed feelings about Stephanie and Brooke's brief friendship coming to an end on B&B. On the one hand, Susan Flannery and Katherine Kelly Lang play well off of each other when their characters are sparring, but I also liked seeing them mature and get past their differences.
