Flipping
through the channels today, I stumbled across the “Bold and the Beautiful”. I
was curious. I hadn’t watched “The Bold” since Taylor came back from the dead. For some reason, I no longer bought into the
whole thing after that. But as
I watched, there was something strangely familiar and comforting about it. Like
catching up with a dear old friend over coffee.
Ridge
and Brooke were still having the same conversation…something to do with Taylor
and her jealousy. (In a couple of years the conversation will remain the same,
but the players will just be reversed- you see, Taylor and Brooke periodically
switch roles as Ridge’s wife)

The
only things that had changed were the appearances of some of the characters.
Ridge’s jawbones seem even more chiseled, if that’s even possible! And Taylor, well Taylor, she looks like a pale flap
of skin stretched across a pair of cheekbones and lips. There’s something very
alarming about Hunter Tylo’s appearance, it’s unsettling, and certainly a far
cry from the big haired beauty that minced across our screens in the eighties.
I
then flipped to “Days of our Lives”, which I confess, was always my favorite.
Who can forget the iconic storyline of Marlena’s demon possession, or the evil
machinations of Stephano DiMero controlling some or other character with brain
washing or hypnosis, not to mention this storyline:
“Roman was
"killed" during the Salem Stalker Murders in 2004. Of course, Roman
wasn't really dead. He lived on the island of Melaswen (New Salem) with every
other victim from the Salem Stalker Murders, including Marlena. Eventually,
other Salemites arrived on the island, trying to find their "dead"
loved ones” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Brady
There’s no denying it, soapies boast the most
incredible, most absurd, most utterly downright ridiculous storylines OF ALL
TIME! ….but you just can’t help watching
them.
