Dishing The Soaps!

Sadly the sound went out so I couldn’t hear anything for the first five minutes. Charlotte ends up finding Sarah’s diary. I’m glad she was suspicious of Lydia who wanted them to take off before they came back with a verdict for Zoe. She made Lydia give Mike the diary. I think he was already thinking that Zoe didn’t but after reading the diary he came to the conclusion that Sarah killed herself. Can’t they object or cross direct over there? The eyebrows on what I’m guessing is the DA were amusing. I’m surprised they weren’t wearing a robe too.

Anita’s determined to get Ricky so she has Theresa help her with her hair and makeup. I did find if funny when Theresa called Duncan a fat head at least that’s what I think she called him. He’d have to wait until she was dead for a chance with her. So Anita has the shed all set up for Operation Seduce Ricky but he’s just terrified. Sure having sex with him will make everything all better. Somehow I kind of doubt it will.

Mike now thinks that Sarah killed herself after getting rejected by Zoe. Amy doesn’t agree since she still thinks that Zoe did it. Why isn’t she thinking about how weird Lydia is inserting herself into the Barnes family? But nope it looks like the real killer gets off. Charlotte was wearing an adorable shirt though. Lydia asked her if she was going to go with her but instead she told her to never come back. I think that would be for the best since she isn’t good for Charlotte either. She read the diary and realized what Lydia was doing. I think it’s because she still loved her that she was willing to overlook things but now she knows the truth. I do wonder why they didn’t get fingerprints off the knife that Zoe never touched which would have led them to Lydia. That was the fastest trial ever but at least Zoe is free and Kris was waiting there for her and Archie did his Zoe’s Free dance.

Cheryl challenges Steph to a dance off so the four of them which included Gill and Fernando started dancing. It seemed like a lot of effort for a round of drinks but Fernando started acting like an ass and Steph ended up slapping her. Now I love Cheryl but I really want Gilly and Steph together. I think Steph was just dazzled by Fernando’s good looks. I really don’t like him at all. But now things are heating up with Cheryl and Gilly. She really does like him but I think Gilly still wants Steph although I think he enjoys spending time with Cheryl.

Trials in England are just odd with the silly outfits but I did notice there was no objecting going on. Why didn’t Zoe’s lawyer recross or what was that redirect when Zoe wasn’t able to explain things. So the dude ended up tripping her up with no chance to really explain herself so things aren’t really looking all that good. But I did notice Mike thinking.

Of course he’s broken about his daughter’s death which is the main thing on his mind so he couldn’t really think about the possibility that Zoe might not be guilty but I think he might be now after seeing her on the stand. I would imagine it’s easier to just think she did it because that would make things simpler although no less horrifying.

I do wonder what Charlotte will do since she knows that Zoe didn’t kill Sarah. She’s keeping quiet for now but I really wish she’d say something. It is pretty obvious that Lydia’s the seriously disturbed one. Maybe she could get a room next to Will. Isn’t he still in the loony bin? Well Jake’s room is vacant at least for the time being. It’s just that Lydia is using Charlotte’s feelings for her against her along with the threat of suicide. How many times has she tried anyway? Was it more than the two times? 

I would have thought Zoe’s lawyer would have mentioned Lydia’s suicide attempts along with her being unstable and a very likely suspect since the other guy was saying no one else had a motive. Don’t they do Plan B in England although it would be pointing the finger at the actual killer even if the intended victim was Zoe. Someone was going to die that day and it turned out to be Sarah. Too bad it wasn’t Lydia instead because that would have been karma. Kris wasn’t able to go in the courtroom but he was there and once again Hannah was a no show. Even if she thinks Zoe might have done it I would have thought she’d be there for Mike. At least Amy went inside.

Gilly’s suffering the badness of Cheryl’s cooking. Oh the poor girl was trying and she really likes Gilly. It’s just too bad that Gilly is still head over heels for Steph. It even looks like he might get the courage to tell her. Where is stupid Fernando anyway? He hasn’t been around in a while. She found Gilly who ran away when Suzanne and Cheryl were in the kitchen looking for some other way to torture poor Gilly. What was she doing to his poor eyes? So never eat anything that Cheryl makes but I wonder why she didn’t get sick like the others did. Maybe she has a stomach made of cast iron.

Anita wants to be friends with Theresa and gets her to agree to listen to her. I don’t think that Theresa knows about the adoption since I think Ricky’s the only one. Maybe she should tell her since that does help explain why she was being all stupid about the fake eating disorder. It does look like Theresa is possibly going to give her another chance. For some people things do seem to come easier although I think it kind of surprised her when Anita announced that she wanted to have sex. I guess she looks at Theresa as an expert and I’m assuming she’s going to do it with Ricky.

Oops it looks like Gilly got a wee bit confused when he decided to dress up like Capain Jack. I’m not sure why he thought that when Cheryl was just cooking a Caribbean dinner. I guess he thought it was a dress up dinner party. That led to him getting teased by the Valentines. I wonder if he got sick. Cheryl didn’t for some reason but the others did. I do enjoy seeing Calvin wandering around shirtless which he’s been doing a lot. Well he’s blown any chance he might have had with her.

Josh is being such an idiot. Oh Rhys must fart a lot if Josh had to tell him to not fart for the day. I’m not sure if you can actually control that but just in case lay off on the beans on toast. India in typical fashion ends up having to go home after she rips her skirt off. For a girl that buys expensive clothes they don’t seem to be all that great since she’s always doing something to them. And that’s just sad Josh asks her out and offers to pay because she has money troubles but she has her eye on Calvin. She seems to think he’s just playing hard to get. Yeah right India and you’re a likeable person. Yes that would be sarcasm again.

The trial continues and I just want to strangle Lydia. She stops by to see Charlotte who is so sweet but she tells her to keep the fact that they’re back together a secret which should have made her wonder about things. Charlotte ends up going to the courtroom and the lawyer was talking about Lydia saying that Sarah got the wrong chute. Of course she did because Zoe was supposed to get it but that bozo put them on the ground meaning it was anyone’s guess as to who would get the bad one.

Lydia pretends to be sick so she leaves but Charlotte stays and notices the knife. It turns out that the knife is Charlotte’s since she lent Lydia her camping stuff. So now she knows that Lydia cut the chute but she doesn’t realize that Zoe was supposed to die. She’s going on about the chute being for herself since she wanted to die because Sarah didn’t love her. Of course this had to hurt Charlotte who is still in love with her for some unexplainable reason. Well it’s not like she can just shut it off. I’m not so sure she’ll do anything especially since Lydia threatened to kill herself if she went to prison. I’m thinking the loony bin is more suitable for the likes of her.

 Poor Kris gets the boot from the courtroom and the one lawyer or whatever was laughing at him. Dude look in a mirror do you really have the right to judge what someone is wearing? I happened to love Kris’s outfit since it was just so very Kris. I just hope that Zak actually manages to stay there for Zoe if Kris can’t get back in. Maybe he was just booted for the day. I did notice that Zoe’s parents weren’t there. I’m guessing they’re all embarrassed for themselves since they don’t seem like good parents to me.

I’m really thinking Sandy was raped. She’s not just wanting Nick to touch her since it seems more like she’s afraid of any man. At least someone closed the door. Ooh that was sloppy leaving your mail around with your real name on it.

I thought she told Whip that she legally changed it? If that was the case shouldn’t her mail have her new name? I wonder if the last name will make him realize that she’s related to Whip. When she wigged at the photo shoot the flashing lights caused her to run and the sound of laughter which leads me to think that maybe she was raped and pictures were taken with people watching perhaps. It can’t be something good if this is the one way she could experience giving birth to a child.

After thinking about it for a bit Bill decides to tell Katie about what happened. When he does go over there to tell her Brooke has changed her mind. They both brought up good points but I think Brooke’s seeing Bill’s point of view since things are running smoothly at Forrester now. Does Boob really think he could get the company back and make it worth? Dude just stick with designing since you obviously had no idea what you were doing. Anyone for vomit when Boobette 2 said, “I’ll do anything for you Dad” or something like that.

After seeing Bill run into Boobette 2 she just can’t take it anymore and lets Boobette 2 know that she knows everything. Am I the only one getting dizzy? I was hoping for Owen in a fig leaf but instead I got Brooke wanting Katie to know about the kiss only to change her mind followed by her telling Boobette 2 she knows the truth. What about the peace in the company? I guess that’s going to be short-lived since the shit just might be hitting the fan. It could have been worse since it’s not like she slept with him at least not that we’re aware of right? So it was kind of amusing that Brooke would be all judgey when she isn’t exactly squeaky clean herself.

Now I don’t use the word farce but I’m with Kris since this is what Zoe’s trial is a farce. They are silly outfits. Why are they all wearing robes anyway? Maybe it’s cold in the courtroom and of course they go with the robes. Oh yeah I just love the judge’s top and if you didn’t catch it that would be sarcasm. They have yet to create a font for any sarcasm yet. Zak doesn’t want to go in. Well that has to be weird to be going to the trial of one of your closest friends. At least her parents know she didn’t do it although I really don’t think much of them.

Oh what’s his name is back. What is his name? Stalkings? Something like that and the moron goes on about the funny girls to Mike one of the funny girls fathers. Is that British for lesbian since that just sounded odd? Talk about tacky but consider the one saying it since he is pretty tacky although amusing. Damn that crazy bitch is really doing a good job of making everything sound the way she wants it to sound and I saw that smirk she gave. Anyone in their right mind should have been able to see that she was guilty as hell.

Of course Zoe pleads not guilty because she is but things so far aren’t looking too good. Lydia is lying all over the place and twisting things around. Sarah was the one in love with Zoe. Yeah but how do they figure Zoe killed Sarah when that guy took the parachutes off their hooks meaning any of them could have taken the chute with the cut cord? Why doesn’t that moron mention that? The chute was meant for Zoe but him taking them down and putting them on the ground made it impossible to tell who was going to get the bad chute. I guess that idiot won’t bother to mention that because he’s all excited about being at a trial of a funny girl.

Hannah didn’t even bother to show up at the trial. Hell it looked like she didn’t even realize until she heard about it. Darren didn’t go either and Hannah didn’t eat again. I wonder if Darren will even bother to mention this to Nev. He just helped himself to Hannah’s breakfast. Yes it’s tricky because she could be upset about the trial since Sarah was her best friend but she isn’t being very supportive of Zoe like the others are. I wonder if she thinks that Zoe did it. Now that I think about it she was never all that close with Zoe. At least the outfits are amusing. Is there some kind of dresscode since everyone matched? The wigs are just silly.

Wow I had no idea that Theresa knew about cars although that outfit kind of looked like she was a mechanic. There’s something wrong with Jack’s car so Darren being sweet asks if Theresa would fix it and in return he’ll take her out to dinner. So she goes to Jack and offers to fix if free of charge. See Darren is a good guy although he can be an idiot at times. Well Theresa couldn’t get the cap off something or other so Darren gives it a try and ends up with oil all over his face. Jack isn’t amused so he tells them to piss off.

Darren takes Theresa out which is just brilliant for a married man to be doing and add in her being sixteen. Hannah ends up finding them at dinner and Theresa ends up getting sick. Well that was just a great date. That boy confuses me. One second he wants to be a husband to Hannah and the next he wants Cindy and now he’s after jail bait. He really needs to take a close on making better choices since he’s just a walking disaster. He does try but more often than not things just blow up in his face.

I volunteer to kick Enormo in his little Enormo for being such an asshole to Brady. Hello dude look in the mirror you’re the criminal Mr I’m Ari’s Boss. So what was he thinking when he called Brady a criminal? It’s thanks to him that they found out that Nicole was in Cleveland which amuses me since there’s a Hellmouth there. Maybe that’s why she went there. Sure it was stupid of him to bail out Nicole but Enormo has no right to say a word. And it did look like he was getting through to her.

Of course it wasn’t good that Nicole just passed out after she made the call to Sami or maybe it was Brady’s phone. I really wish Brady or Rafe punched that asshole. Did I mention how much I hate Enormo? Yes he’s quite repulsive. I’ve never liked him since he showed up in Salem with his I’m better than you accent although I’ll admit he has a great ass. I’m not blind you know.

Nathan stopped Poofy and Melanie from kissing. Yes he was pissed off which does show he cares. What a crappy sitch to  be in? Melanie cares about both of them but she’d probably be better off with Nathan although she’s still drawn to Poofy. Speaking of Poofy did his poofy grow another poof? It looked like it grew and I think I saw a second one. So Nathan and Melanie are over so I’m thinking Wishy Washy will be taking full advantage of that. Can’t she just leave Salem? I really want Owen to come back and kidnap her again. While he’s around he can pick up Chloe too since I can’t stand her and ironically I liked her before but after having sex with Lucas in the elevator she’s been just horrible. I don’t mind Daniel at all since it’s great to see him on something although I would have loved it if Birds Of Prey went on without killing Wade so he could get together with Barbara since they were so adorable together.

Lucas comes home from rehab and was totally clueless about what had been going on. He did have a point. Sure Chloe asked Will what the phone number was but she could have looked it up. She really should have since she supposedly feels so bad for her part in the whole mess. Maybe I just have Dean on the brain and hey Herbie does too but his haircut kind of looked a bit Deanish to me. It looked like a  bald patch on the back of his head. Was I seeing things? Maybe his hair was combed weird although there isn’t much to comb. I like the floppy hair on him. I think he might be safe from getting hair sickness in Salem.

Nicole ends up getting delayed so I wonder why Rafe didn’t have the cops in Cleveland checking the bus stations etc to find her. She called Fay again but she after talking to herself for a bit decides to call I’m thinking Brady although Sami answered the phone. Well I can’t blame her since she hasn’t been with her daughter for nearly a year. So I don’t blame Lucas for being pissed off. He has every right to be pissed off so that was out of line calling him a dry drunk. He can’t just get over the betrayal so give the guy a break Daniel. And Daniel let the dragon slay Chloe since you’ll be better off without her.

Aw Mickey how I’ve missed you. What happened to John anyway? I took a I’m pissed off at you stupid network for cancelling Passions although I did watch that which led to me not watching for like a year so I get back and Edward Quartermaine is Mickey which was just weird. Did something happen to the guy? They never did replace Bill Horton after the actor whose name escapes me right now died. At least Maggie has company in the house. I wonder how many rooms are there at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Funny it doesn’t look anything like the Munsters place. Maggie is pretty awesome for taking in all the strays so to speak. Maggie’s the closest thing that poor Mia has to a mother since it sounds like her real mother is a total bitch giving her the boot like that. Unless of course Carly’s her mother but I thought Melanie was but at this point I really don’t know.

It turns out that Mercedes is fine and now it looks like she realizes what a great guy she’s married to. I just don’t like the idea of Calvin falling for her. She’s behaving for now but I have to wonder how long that will last. And it’s also tricky because Mal thinks Calvin is his best friend so as a best friend he needs to keep his hands off. It’s pretty obvious that Carmel is still in love with him so I wouldn’t mind if they got back together.

It was so good to see Myra. Damn it’s been a while. She even got all dressed up and went to the party that Mal threw for Mercedes. Shouldn’t they have her with Mike after all she knows what it’s like to have a child killed? Not to mention it would be fun although poor Mike is shattered so he could use some cheering up. And maybe Myra would realize what a psycho Lydia is.

Mike went to visit Zoe to beg her not to make him go through a trail. The poor guy is just devastated but he was willing to listen to Zoe. I think on some level he knows that Zoe didn’t kill his daughter but he’s so wrecked over it that he isn’t thinking straight and it isn’t helping that Lydia’s wormed her way into his home and is trying to be Sarah’s replacement. It looked like she was getting through to him and the fact that he was willing to sit there and let Zoe if I’m not mistaken hold his hand shows that he really doesn’t believe that she’s guilty.

Lydia of course didn’t like the idea of Mike going to see Zoe because she had to know that after talking to her that he would realize that she was innocent. He wanted to find out if Sarah had a diary to see where her head was at since it is possible that he’s thinking it could have been suicide although I would imagine that’s something you really don’t want to consider since in a weird way it would be better if she was murdered if that makes any sense. Hell I said it and I’m not totally sure what I meant myself. Of course Lydia already found Sarah’s diary where she wrote about her feelings for Zoe and some not so nice things about Lydia. I’m assuming she destroyed it so she offered to help him look. I’ll admit she’s good because she’s acting all supportive but she knows he want find the diary since she already found it. Who knows maybe she didn’t destroy it since there had to be some good parts about her.

Josh is starting to wonder about Hannah. It does look like she’s drinking instead of eating. Of course if she was drinking Vodka you couldn’t tell if she hid it in soda. She was going to go out with Josh but when she saw Darren she ended up going off with him. Things aren’t going too well for the poor guy. That is sweet of him to let Jake have the credit for saving Holly although I’m not sure if that was a good idea or not since he’s totally in the doghouse and I’m thinking Cindy isn’t too happy with him. I do wonder if Darren will really spy on Hannah for Nev. Well it might be a way to get another chance or would this be third chance at The Dog? But of course they just might end up spiraling down together.

Sandy is still acting strange and Nick’s noticed it. Bridget seems to be oblivious. The guy just wanted to hug the one that was going to carry his child and she pulled away. There is something funky going on. So they’re pregnant but please I ask of you don’t have Sandy steal the baby since I’ve had my fill of that sort of thing in Salem. But there is just something off about this chick.

Well the blanks have been filled in since I’m assuming that flashback was the part that I missed on that day when the stupid network butted in and caused me to miss the last few minutes. I’m not really surprised that Boobette 2 would make another move on him. Sure it was stupid for him to go up to the cabin but it seems to be totally one sided. Brooke just seems a bit too interested in things.

Rick find another girl and when did Boobette 2 become a saint? I don’t remember anyone calling her that. Maybe it happened before I started watching again but since I think it was March or April I certainly don’t recall anyone calling her a saint. Deluded much? Oh Rick you’re too cute to be a monk but I just don’t see what you see in Boobette 2. He asked her out but she turned him down since she feels she doesn’t deserve to go to a stupid basket ball game. Oh yes and what’s next Boobette 2 ten lashes for every naughty thought about Bill. Maybe she’ll run off to a convent.

I guess Brooke’s decided that she doesn’t like secrets anymore. Bill doesn’t want to stir things up because it would ruin things. So now it is all up to Brooke whether or not she’ll tell Katie and make a mountain out of a molehill. Is she bored with her marriage already? She got the guy she wanted for some inexplicable reason since I just don’t see the appeal of Boob but now she’s  butting into her sister’s marriage now. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if she wanted Bill herself after all he’s much better than that creature she’s married too. Gee who to choose? The hot guy or the total dud? However will I decide?

I wonder if Nick will get anywhere with Sandy. He went over to her place to talk to her. Dude close the door. Okay I’m probably the only one that thought it was stupid of him to not do that but she also didn’t run over to lock all her locks either. What is up with her? I half wonder if she was pregnant since she had that stuffed I think it was a panda and when her place was first seen weren’t there baby toys around? Maybe she plans on stealing this baby which I really don’t want since I think this type of thing should be banned. I’ve had enough of the baby crap.

Well Dom decides to pay Josh back for stealing his goat. Hey where did the goat go? I wonder if the goat trashed the place or if it was Josh and Michaela? He decides to do a little redecorating with fish. I wonder what he wrote on the board thingie. Damn that place is going to stink when they get home. At least he put the food to good use with the freezer broken or something. Um couldn’t they just get some ice and maybe see about putting some of the food in their flat or perhaps asking Frankie and Jack if they could store some of the food at their place and maybe at the store?

Since the lights were bad or something Holly ends up getting electrocuted which was a bit of a letdown since I want more with my electrocutions. Darren saves her but he decides to let Jake take the credit since Jake’s been having such a tough time being lately. That is so sweet but of course Darren ends up getting fired as a result but at least Steph knows the truth and he did tell her to stop playing with the lights. He was going to have Jake help him in getting new ones but didn’t have a chance since he was taking dog shit off of Holly’s shoe. So the chance to have the whole family together didn’t go very well.

Ste’s taking care of the kids so Amy decides to go out where she meets up with Michaela and Sasha. Josh is like a puppy following around India but much like Cheryl she seems to have her eyes on Calvin who isn’t interested. She kissed him but he wasn’t into it and she did mention Mercedes. I’m not so sure about the happily married part. Oh please don’t have him end up with her since that would just be a disaster not to mention it would break Carmel’s heart.

Amy gets home where she finds Ste conked out on the couch holding Lucas with Leah sitting there too. That guy has come a really long way from that guy who hit Amy and ran that scam for Leah. She should see someone to help her deal with her problem since it’s not just something she can snap out of. It has to be overwhelming to have two kids at such a young age. At least she can somewhat deal with Leah but of course when she was first born Amy stayed away from her too.

I’m hoping I won’t lose my dinner which I ate not too long ago but not really since I’m typing this from the past. Aw I almost feel bad for Vivian who really wants to be a mother to Poofy but he’s not interested since he already has one defective mother. That has to be one strange way to enter the world as a stolen embryo. I’m not really surprised that Melanie ended up getting cozy with Poofy since she’s seems to be the moth and he’s the flame. Sadly it looks like Nathan really likes her but I don’t think he’ll forgive her after seeing the two on the verge of kissing. I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Did anyone else feel like vomiting? Sami and Rafe went over to the pub because Roman was trying to trace the call that Nicole made to Enormo but he was’t able to do it. Once again Eric was mentioned but I really don’t think she’d call him. Maybe he could give Brady some tips on how to get over that bitch. Maybe leaving Salem was his cure since he’s never been back. On to the vomit when Sami got upset and tripped or something only to have Enormo catch her. I also didn’t like it when he reached out for her hand. If she’s going to hold hands with anyone it should be Rafe. I’m okay with Lucas too but no Enormo even if he is tring to be a human by doing the opposite of Repulso.

It turns out that Marge reads the paper so she busted Nicole. Well she didn’t do a very good job of disguising herself. She should have gotten tips from Beth Wallace the one crazy that comes to mind that managed to steal a baby and stay away for years. Gwen is in second place since she didn’t do so well with Jane. She wanted money but Nicole said something that I couldn’t make out since the sound went out. Next she was threatening to go on Twitter and tell everyone about the bedbugs infestation. If it’s such a horrible place why would she bring a baby there? She was able to leave so she met the guy that did the passports but he wanted more money. She ends up sitting down by some chick who noticed the adorableness and stole her phone while the chick was cooing over Sydney thinking she was a he. And if anyone’s going to give Sydney a complex it would be Nicole for calling her a boy.

Wishy Washy admitted that she liked Nathan and he made it clear that he would have been good to go if she wasn’t dealing with the whole Poofy thing at the time but that he really likes Melanie. Oh Nathan you’re in quite a pickle since Melanie just keeps going back to Poofy. Is it really a good idea to go back to the guy that took you to a sleazy motel which resulted in you doing a porno. Sure he didn’t know about that but he could have gone to a nicer place and what about him going back to Wishy Washy and dumping you like a hot potato. Stupid saying but I thouht it fit the sitch here.

Brady might be able to get himself out of the doghouse at least with Sami since Nicole finally called him back. He seemed to be getting through to her. She did call to check on him because she was afraid that he’d get in trouble because it might look like he had helped her escape. But much like gas I’m thinking any twinges of guilt she feels will pass. It didn’t seem to bother her too much that because of her things are off with Ari. I hate that they’re doing this. Here was a couple that was doing great and they pull this shit about Brady still being in love with Nicole. Come on Brady you can hate her. Come on it isn’t very hard.

Ari’s bummed since everything is just crappy for her. She still has to bring Enormo done although she doesn’t knwo that it’s him. And now she’s lost Brady. Not to mention there’s the whole Gabi thing to deal with. That sister of her’s is a ticking time bomb since she could blurt out her secret at any time which wouldn’t be good. She’d go back to jail and I’m thinking that wouldn’t be any fun at all not to mention the orange jumpsuits are horrible. I guess someone decided to pick the absolute worst color in the world for prisoners to wear and they’re easy to spot since that orange really stands out like those cones.
