From Mala Bhattacharjee
I have daddy issues. No, wait, not the kind you think! When it comes to kids on soaps, I absolutely adore watching them with their daytime daddies. Whether it's GENERAL HOSPITAL's Greg Vaughan (Lucky) carrying that bald cutie pie Jake around or today's GUIDING LIGHT, where Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan) tried to juggle baby Sarah and her bottle in a scene and dropped one. You're right if you guess he didn't drop the baby! And Pelphrey and the infant playing Sarah are a perfect team. They even look alike! There's just something about watching guys in scenes with children. It's adorable. Case in point: AS THE WORLD TURNS' Aaron holding teeny baby Hallie today. Agim Kaba looked like a pro with that wee squirming bundle. Maybe he's been asking Thad Luckinbill (J.T., Y&R) for advice, considering J.T.'s finesse with preemie Reed?

And, sure, I like babies, but that doesn't mean the older children should be counted out. ALL MY CHILDREN's Lucy Merriam (Emma) is arguably one of the most winsome and talented child actresses on daytime and her scenes with "uncle Richie" Billy Miller today in the park were so darned earnest that I almost forgot creepy Richie wants Emma's bone marrow. Who needs Richie and Babe when you’ve got precious moments with him and his little niece?
