4/28/09 - "Episode 10112"

I suppose I really should be interested in the rekindling of the epic Reese/Bianca relationship, but I tell you, I don’t think I watch this particular soap for the same reason the majority of the audience does.  On a day like today - actually nearly any Tuesday, generally the most skippable of soap episodes - the romance gets amped up and the drama is turned down.  The closest the show got to interesting today was Ryan’s “I AM A VERY SERIOUS MAN” conversation with Cambias Sr., but even that was a pale imitation of the Starling/Lecter conversations from Silence of the Lambs, minus discussion of fava beans or lotion in baskets.  It’s day two of Hayward Watch 2009, so instead we get Scott and J.R. bickering.   The writing staff of the show should be more considerate of a guy trying to post about the show every day.  Shows like the one today makes this unpaid job more difficult, for certain.  At very least, tomorrow we have a All My Children/PBA Bowling DVR double-header.  That sort of news helps me go on.
