I'm curious as to why ATWT's Molly isn't being accosted by the press after exposing her affair with a prominent congressman on live TV. You know darn well that if such a scandal like that became public, reporters galore would be swarming her for the dirty details. Instead, Molly is freely wandering around the streets of New York with nary a news hound in sight. Given our society's thirst for celebrity gossip, I'm surprised the media isn't lining up to interview a top politico's blabby mistress.

Once Lily confirmed Holden's death in the Snyder kitchen on ATWT today, I thought it was funny that she comforted Faith and Damian held a sobbing Meg, while Emma (you know, the lady who brought Holden into this world) bawled by herself. Ya' got two arms, Lily!.... Knowing the time and money that goes into scheduling a photo shoot, I couldn't help but snicker when Roseanna let Parker blow off his session, especially after he already showed up for it.... Teri, I know you haven't been in Oakdale long but stop it! Don't fall in love with Craig!... Gee, Damian, I know you said it with a lot of feeling but there was still some sensitivity lacking when you told a grieving Luke that he sill has another father.

Y&R: Wow! That was one humdinger helping of crow Katherine was eating when she admitted to Jill that La Chancellor's marriage wasn't as strong as she had always professed. Leave it to Jill not to make peace.

B&B: So, Ridge didn't marry Taylor because... Why?! I still don't get it.... I never tire of Brooke and Stephanie bad blooding at each other. And what could be scarier than Steph barging through your front door at night?... Although I was, at first, yelling at the TV set for Katie to run far, far away from Bill, I'm really liking their budding hotness together.

ATWT: Oh, Luke, get outta those suits (groan).... Don't get me wrong because I love Noelle Beck and Marie Wilson in the roles of Lily and Meg, respectively, but as a long-time viewer, I can't help but to fantasize what their arguing would be like with Martha Bryne and Jennifer Ashe yelling at each other.... Also, I like nice, gentle Paul.

GL: With Phillip's impending death, Mallet and Marina's rocky marriage and Dinah's guilt over killing John Doe, this show can be a buzz kill. Thank God for Bill and Lizzie.

Boy, I have to take exception with ATWT's Susan Stewart kneeing her ex-husband Larry in the groin after she found out that he stole Emily's eggs to make a baby with another woman. I'm not defending Larry's actions but a slap to the face would have been just as sufficient. I'm sure lots of women in the audience cheered over Susan's knee-jerk reaction (pun intended) but I think attacking someone's privates just because you're angry should never be condoned. If the proverbial shoe had been on the other foot, would Larry thwacking Susan on the breast because he's ticked off be accepted? See what I mean.

On Y&R, why do the writers insist on mucking up Kevin's thoroughly-entertaining mental breakdown with his delusions of different people wearing that ridiculous chipmunk mask? Every time the huge rodent head shows up, I wanna scream, "Alvin!" I can just imagine Clementine Ford's (who plays Mac) reaction when, shortly after coming to Y&R, she was told, 'Okay, in this scene, you gotta put on this." Even worse, I'm sure anyone who is checking out Y&R for the first and sees those nutty scenes just promptly tune out. The silliness of the chipmunk is eclipsing Greg Rikaart's (Kevin) stellar acting and to me, that's just road kill.

Ahoy, mates! Just wanted to give you a heads up (okay, I'm bragging here) that I'll be embarking on the second annual Soap Cruise to the Caribbean next week! I had the good fortune to be a part of the first voyage a little over a year ago so I'm thrilled to be going out to sea again with 16 of your daytime faves! Last time was a blast and I really enjoyed meeting the soap fans then watching them mingle, swoon and pose for lots of pictures with the actors. Cameron Mathison (Ryan, AMC) will once again be hosting the four-day trip, which departs from Miami, and he'll be joined by a celebrity representative (or two) from every soap! Once again, I'll be later bringing you juicy (Will Winsor Harmon, Thorne, B&B, show off his red skivvies to the audience again?) and funny (Christian LeBlanc, Michael, Y&R, is always a scream) details for for both Digest magazine and website (www.soapoperadigest.com). Bon voyage to me!

I heart B&B's Stephanie again because she's back to steamrolling through everyone's lives. When Eric first dumped her for Donna, Stephanie became downright, well, un-Stephanie, when she quietly retired to a darkened beach house to lick her wounds. Now, even when Eric chose Donna again, Steph didn't shrink back in defeat or humiliation. Instead, she's still showing up at Forrester Creations, holding her head high and busting everyone's chops (watch out, Rick). It'll be interesting to see when Eric ends up alone again (and you just know it will happen) if his long-suffering ex-wife will give him the time of day. In fact, I think it's high time she gets a love interest of her own so we can see Eric sweat for once.
