2005 Our Opinion!

My Opinion by Jamison
9/7/05

Hi, folks.  Sorry this week’s column is so late.  I was out of town, taking one last vacation before school started.  And when I did, get back, I got a little lazy and just didn’t have the energy to write a column.  Not for any of the past few days.  But I’m back now, so to start this out, the show’s uphill climb is definitely over.  At least for now.

Brady/Chloe: More whining from Chloe, more reassuring from Brady, blah, blah, blah . . . At least Chloe interacted with John and Victor this week.  But that’s the only thing that was really new with them this week.

Shawn/Belle/Philip/Mimi: So now, Shawn’s going to be working as a bartender at Alice’s only so Bonnie can push Mimi into taking advantage of that, considering she, too, is now working there (as a waitress).  It’s obviously driving Belle out of her mind, but I don’t feel sorry for her at all.  She led Shawn on too long to really give her another chance.  Meanwhile, it’s apparent Philip’s loving this.  He is probably being such a supporter of them getting together so Shawn doesn’t try and win back Belle.  Hell, it’s obvious he’s trying to manipulate them by the way he’s so eager to get together.  Well, he is Victor and Kate’s son, so manipulation may very well be in his genes.  I guess some of the high school Philip (which Jay — we miss you so much! — was playing at the time) is rushing right back to us.

Marlena/Alex: I’m not going to comment on this story much, except to say that Alex is definitely not a nice guy like I thought he was.  He has an agenda.  The only thing we can do is figure out what it is.  This storyline is interesting and absurd at the same time, which is why I like it.  Sort of.

Roman/Kate/Victor: Roman definitely wants nothing more to do with Kate, as he asked her for a divorce this week.  Kate tried once again tried to defend her actions, but oh, no, Roman wasn’t going to be swayed.  Yes, Kate did what she did to Sami out of love for her son, but she was too willing to wreck three lives — Sami’s, Lucas’s, and Will’s — to do it.  I agree with Roman.  That’s just inexcusable.  But then again, a part of me can’t help but wonder if he was just looking for the perfect excuse to dump Kate so he could hope to pursue Marlena again (he’ll have a snowball’s chance in hell at that).  Meanwhile, Kate and Victor’s scenes were lovely.  Full of chemistry, of course.  It’s obvious Victor wants Kate to keep out of Bo and Hope’s relationship now that Georgia’s been found.  Don’t blame him for teling her this.  Georgia may be Victor and Kate’s granddaughter, but Bo is his (Victor’s) son, and he already has a family of his own with Hope, Shawn, and Zack.  He doesn’t want to see his son’s life get even more complicated.  Kate, of course, doesn’t give a damn and crossed her fingers behind her back after making her promise to Victor.  Kate, Kate, Kate, when will you ever learn?  Probably when a viable Democrat becomes President.  Which should be never.

Lucas/Sami/Will: I just loved the little family scenes these three had this week.  How tragic it will be when the Stan secret is found out and it all suddenly comes to an end.  Meanwhile, Will’s voice has gotten so deep!  I could hardly recognize the kid!  But he needs a serious haircut.  I’m not really comfortable with the Welcome Back, Kotter look.  Oh, and he was way out of line when he said that he and Lucas would be out of Sami’s lives for good if Sami lied to them again.  Especially since she wasn’t lying the last time.  At least Will now knows what his grandmother’s like, and Lucas will make sure Will’s wary around her now.  On a final note for this storyline, I’m not going to comment on Sami helping out with Tony’s escape because the whole thing’s stupid that they’re even thinking about keeping Tony on the show after all he’s done.

Jack/Jennifer/Frankie/Patrick: All I can recall Jack doing is being an ass to Patrick.  Again.  I’m so sick of his being so malicious to Patrick that I’m not going to comment on him at all.  As for Frankie, he found out something about Patrick — the government has a big file on Patrick, presumably because they could be keeping him out of prison long enough to nail a criminal who may be even bigger than Tony.  But who?  Oh!  Oh!  I know!  Stefano?  Could this be a hint that Stefano may be coming back?  If only for a handful of episodes?  No, I doubt it.  Joseph Mascolo (ex-Stefano) is now known as Massimo Marone over on B&B.  Never mind.  So could this be some new villain Patrick’s working for that may surface in Salem eventually?  Could be.  And hopefully, that is the case.  But whoever it is, Frankie definitely wants to solve this mystery surrounding Patrick.

Tek/Lexie: Boring.  Disgusting.  Lexie’s already cheated on Abe, her husband, three times — once with his brother (Jonah), once with his son (Brandon), and now, once with his supposed friend (Tek).  This whole story’s got no point to it whatsoever.  Moving on.

Max/Chelsea: Even if he did just take her to a motel after “rescuing” her from her newfound parents, Max’s gesture to Chelsea/Georgia did seem romantic.  He’s definitely not the slimeball he was when he first showed up.  Of course, I think it’s kinda icky that he was about to sleep with his half-niece.  Yeah, I know, I know.  Max is only a Brady by adoption.  Chelsea is a Brady by blood.  But still, it’s kind of sick.  And I did feel bad for him when Bo almost pounded him for nearly sleeping with her.

Bo/Hope/Patrick/Billie/Chelsea: Chelsea finding out she’s Georgia and the resulting fallout was the center focus of this week.  Pamela over at the DAYS site at SoapCentral.com gave Bo the moniker “Neanderthal Bo” in her most recent column (read it here).  His actions really do support the name.  He jumped to several wrong conclusions and attacked Patrick numerous times and nearly pounded the crap out of Max, his own brother — both cases over Chelsea/Georgia.  She was clearly loving the whole thing, knowing it was all about her.  Luckily for all of us, there’s a reasonable, responsible adult who has her number: Hope.  Good for her.  She saw that she was interested in Patrick, an older man, and Hope herself took an interest in an older man (remember Larry Welch, anyone?), so she knows what to expect.  As for Billie, I don’t know whether she did or didn’t have the slap (which Chelsea gave her) coming to her.  I think she kinda did only because of the way she told Chelsea the news.  But then again, Chelsea’s her daughter, so she shouldn’t have slapped Billie.  Ah, I don’t know.  All I do know is that Chelsea’s not going to accept her new family so easily.  (Billie can certainly relate to that, since she didn’t except Kate that easily.)  All I can say is, I hope it doesn’t take too long for her to finally accept them.  A time may come when she’ll need them more than she even knows.

Next week (really later this week), Brady and Chloe’s wedding finally gets underway, Chelsea plots her revenge on her family, and Tony’s escape begins.

And that’s just what’s on my mind!
