I can't even begin to tell you guys how much I HATE this latest Carly scheme. I mean, Courtney is her BEST friend - why is she trying to ruin her life? I get that Carly hates Jax and I get that Carly doesn't like Sam, either, and would want Courtney and Jason to get back together but scheming like this isn't going to do it. When Courtney finds out - and you know she will - Carly will have proven exactly why Jax doesn't like Courtney's friends. Ugh. It makes me crazy.

Also, I expected Carly to be trying to get even with Reese or Sonny - why did she suddenly come up with a plan to ruin Courtney?

On a side note, I'm still undecided about the new Maxie and I don't like her with Diego at all, but I CAN believe that the actresses who play Georgie & Maxie are sisters now. I never bought that when Robyn Richards played Maxie.

What a great brother fight. Anytime Jason is wounded in any capacity, I hope that it means the return of Jason Quartermaine. How awesome would it be to have him wake up on the floor of the Quartermaine mansion and be like, "Mom?" and have no recollection of who Sonny or Carly are. Of course, that clearly isn't going to happen since they showed the previews with AJ basically paralyzed or whatever and Jason standing over him healthy as an ox.

I'm not going to disagree that Evangeline needs some family members, but why all at once? I was a little annoyed with the "Let's Meet Cookie's Entire Family" storyline. And maybe they don't really like John because he comes off as kind of an ass. Maybe he should smile once in a while and be friendly to strangers...

I guess the big question today is: Is Jonathan telling the truth about Braden or is "Braden" some sort of alternate personality or something? For some reason, I think it's the former...

I know this is going to sound horrible at first, but as much as I would like Michael to really be dead (I can't stand that kid), I think it's pretty obvious where he is -with his real father! I mean, how brilliant is that? Don't forget Faith needed money to pull off this operation and AJ has all that Quartermaine cash. AJ conveniently just has everyone thinking that he died. This brilliant plan gives him revenge on Courtney, revenge on Jason, revenge on Sonny, revenge on Carly... I mean, it's perfect. It really is clever.

AJ can't really be dead, can he? Did we see a body? I admit I wasn't looking that closely. There has been no talk of someone going down to identify the body yet, either. I just can't believe they would bring AJ back for one day only to kill him. Also, I can't believe that someone like AJ wouldn't be scheming and figure out a way to have himself look like he was killed only to put Courtney in a compromising situation.

So, hmm, is 'John Doe' really Christian after all and they've just erased his memory or something? What other news could be surprising to John?

Just what is the range of those walkie-talkies that Todd and Blair can talk to each other clear as day without even so much as static?

I really liked the scenes between Viki and Natalie... Viki saying she'd believe it if someone who looked like Ben showed up, even though she knows his heart is inside her...

Today's Soapbox: AMC

Good for Maggie for finally seeing the light about Jonathan - although I fear for her even more now based on what his ex-girlfriend said...

Today's Soapbox: GH

Ah, so it's Faith who is the kidnapper! I have to say, that didn't occur to me at all. But, I'm thrilled to see that she's still around causing trouble.

How great was it to see AJ again? However, just to ask the obvious, if Courtney and AJ were never officially divorced, why would he not have brought this up when she married his brother, not now that she's marrying good guy Jax? Also, I must have missed the urgency with which the wedding date was set. Exactly when were they planning on getting married? And what's the hurry? I would love to see Courtney try to plan her dream wedding with pain-in-the-butt Jane Jax there in the way.

Friday's AMC Soapbox

Yeah, Marian, Bianca is going to be thrilled when she comes home and finds psycho abuser Jonathan alone with Miranda. Good going...

Also, I'm glad Babe came forward with the DNA test. I couldn't quite understand why she pretended to not have it. Why not get Kevin out of the picture and then fight one-on-one with JR? What good would it be if the baby ended up staying in Llanview?

Today's Soapbox: GH

So I guess the thought never occurred to Sam that she should maybe stay with the man she loves and try to have a baby with him instead of trying to nab someone else's baby (hello, is this Pine Valley or Llanview? NO!). Could be the first clue that she isn't ready to be a mom yet...

Sad that Sonny and Carly are now officially over. Bittersweet, really, because I honestly like them so much better living separate lives.

I really hope Courtney stays with Jax. I love them together. It's a so-much-healthier relationship. I do NOT want her back with Jason. Jax and Courtney can be like the Frisco and Felicia of the 2000s.

I love that Elizabeth figured it out without Emily having to say it. I knew she would. She's not stupid.

Today's Soapbox: OLTL

I loved that OLTL picked up exactly where AMC left off, but what is up with all those useless police officers? First, they leave Babe, Jamie, JR, Tad and the baby all alone and wait outside. Then, Kevin and Bo arrive and there is all the debating about where the baby should go and whose baby it is. Just do something, cops! How incompetent.

And, Jessica? How crazy is she? Yeah, Christian is still in love with her. Sure. She so clearly is being stalked by one of her alters, just like dear old Mom. I wish she would leave Christian (or whoever he is) alone.

Too funny when Margaret showed up in the Blair wig, though. And Todd didn't catch on at all, did he, Peggy?

Today's Soapbox: AMC

I'm glad Kendall isn't fooled by Jonathan. That dude is so creepy and has been since the start, basically. Why was everyone fooled? And what is up with Maggie, wanting to marry a man who is so freaky? Eww. I've never liked Maggie and this is just another example of how stupid she is.

Today's Soapbox: GH

As bad as it may sound, I really like the idea of Emily getting raped by Connor. She needs some badness brought into her life that isn't so easily brushed off (like the shooting of Mary and the apparent killing of Helena). Those other deaths seemed to not bother her at all. Even the death of Zander seemed not to phase her. Here, she is going to have to deal with the rape and the murder (I'm assuming he's dead after she shot him like six times) of Connor and I imagine she is going to end up pregnant so she has to deal with the fact that she may be carrying Connor's baby. Also, I'm thinking once Nikolas is released from prison, she is going to have a little difficulty getting intimate with him again - when he gets close, she is going to see Connor's face, isn't she? Also, it will give her a chance to get a lot closer to Elizabeth, who, we all remember, was raped way back. Lots of possibility there.

Today's Soapbox: AMC

Well, I might be in the minority, but I was glad that the cops and the Chandlers finally caught up with Babe & Jamie and the baby. They got away with stealing that baby for way too long.

Also, what's up with Edmund? When did he become so desperate to hang on to Maria?
