And I'm back...

And, boy, do I have a lot to make up for. Today's rant brought to you by Days of Our Lives.

A lot has happened since New Years Eve. Zach Brady was hit by a car, driven by his newly discovered sister, Chelsea. While the storyline has shown awesome acting by Kristan Alfonso and Peter Reckell, I am sooo tired of the other players in this game. Billie- well, I haven't liked her since the whole Carly buried alive thing, but I really want her to move on and leave Bo alone. Georgia/Chelsea - according to the show history, she died! Now she's just a tool to cause trouble for supercouple Bo and Hope. Not happy with that.

Let's see... what else is happening in Salem? Well, there's the whole who's the daddy storyline with Belle, Phillip, Shawn & Mimi. Actually, we know who the daddy is (Shawn) but he doesn't know. There always has to be a parental issue is Soaps- it's just one of those mad lib type storylines. Insert character name here, and instant plot! I never enjoyed Belle & Shawn together. I think he needs an action figure girlfriend to compare with Hope. She was never the fancy, break a nail type. That being said, I'm not overly enthused with Mimi either. I was really hoping that the writer's would bring a new character on for Shawn's attentions, but that's asking too much, guess.

I was happy to see Austin & Carrie come back, but it is too farfetched for Sami & Lucas to go scheming on getting those two for themselves. That is going too far. They need to grow up- their kid acts older than them, for Pete's sake.

John & Marlena- big yawn. My biggest wish for soap operas is to speed up their storylines. They tend to drag them out forever, keeping secrets hidden until they think the audience forgets what happened... but we never do. We just get bored and only tune in when something is going to change. Read the blog over at http://theearlyedition.blogspot.com and you'll never waste your time!

Ok- that's a wrap for the Salem 500. More tv goodness tomorrow~
