SITTING FOR QUITE A WHILE IN DOCTOR’S OFFICES LATELY, WHERE I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE TV PROGRAMMING, IM GARNERING A NEW APPRECIATION FOR MY LIFELONG AND ONLY SOAP, DOOL. THE STORIES MAY BE ANNOYING , FUN, OR FAKE, BUT ALWAYS WELL ACTED AND WORTH SEEING THROUGH TO THE END . ALLISON SWEENEY, IN PARTICULAR, NEVER SEEMS TO TAKE HER ROLE FOR GRANTED, AND ALWAYS CHALLENGES HER CO-ACTORS TO SHOW UP OR BE SHOWN UP. YOU NEVER FEEL AS THOUGH SHE IS ‘MAILING IT IN’, AS SOME OF THE OTHER SOAPS I’VE SEEN OF LATE. JOHN AND MARLENA HAVE GIVEN THEIR FANS THEIR BEST DESPITE BEING GIVEN A WRITE-OFF, AND NOT KNOWING WHEN OR IF THEY WILL RETURN. THE DIMERAS ARE ALWAYS CLASSY AND DELICIOUSLY EVIL, STEVE JOHNSON IS ALWAYS EDGY WITH A QUIRKY LIKEABILITY, PHILLIP YOUNG AND SEXY, CHELSEA ALWAYS THE COMPLEX DIVA WHO IS FINDING HER DEPTH. THANKYOU DAYS FOR GIVING ME A DIVERSION FROM TROUBLES AND CARES FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND BEING WORTHY OF YOUR DAYTIME PERCH WHEN OTHER SHOWS ARE MISSING THE MARK. ALL WE’RE MISSING ARE GRAMA HORTON’S DOUGHNUTS!
