I am absolutely loving Jon Lindstrom as ATWT's Craig. He brings dry humor and vulnerability to the role, despite the fact that Craig is a villain, Lindstrom plays him as if he's simply misunderstood. Some of his best moments are of the blink-and-you'll miss it variety, like the gleeful expression when Paul charged into the custody hearing today in order to bring down their mutual foe, Dusty. Lindstrom looked like a little kid who just received a new pony. When he's on screen, I'm riveted and always eager to see what he'll do next.

Well, wasn't it a manly day on DAYS yesterday? Philip discussed the "masculine" rule of how men don't like to talk with Stephanie, while Chelsea and Max had a similar talk about, well, not talking. Then EJ playfully told "pregnant" Nicole that he was going to violate a guy rule by pointing out that she might be a teensy hormonal. (Brave man, in my household that would lead to no good at all, even if it's true.) I guess all this manliness compensates for how emasculated my poor Lucas will feel when he finds out what Chloe has been doing with Daniel behind his back. And on the night of their engagement part, no less.

Do you watch THE SOUP with Joel McHale? It's Friday night must-see TV at the Flores household. He's been paying lots of attention to soaps and lately has been on quite a B&B kick for the segment "My Stories." He had two special guests on Friday night, Ronn Moss (Ridge) and Kyle Lowder (Rick) or as Ridge might say, "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!" The boys were such good sports and really got into the playful tone of the show. I loved Kyle's exaggerated collapse and watching Ronn get waayyyy too uncomfortably close to Joel when then brought the stars out again for a second sketch. Now I have a special request. I want Joel McHale (and his little dog Lou) to make a guest appearance on B&B. Maybe Pam can create a fashion line for dogs and Lou can model one of her crocheted creations. If you missed THE SOUP, be sure to catch one of the frequent re-runs on E! this week. Check your listings.
