BC - Wed, 9/3/08

Krystal is certainly right to be concerned about Kathy's aggressive and potentially violent tendencies, but WTF was Krystal doing climbing an old ladder with Jenny on the floor right next to it? Shame on KRYSTAL!

With everything they have at stake for the "launch" of Bella, why are all the principal members LATE? Every single one of them!

OMG, they're having the party at CONFUSION instead of Fusion? Well, that's a MAJOR step up from their tacky office space -- at least Confusion is MEANT for partying.

Why IS Ryan at the party? His wife just left him because of his love for Greenlee; Greenlee's husband decked him because of his love for Greenlee, Greenlee has no use for him at the party, and there's nothing but tension in the air. It's not like he's in a partying mood. I understand he's escorting Erica, but she doesn't NEED an escort. He flat-out shouldn't BE there.

I LOVED it that Carmen referred to Myrtle as "Myrtle Ferris Wheel", although I have to wonder WHY she did that. When she and Randi were girls Myrtle must have told them something about her carny experiences and ferris wheels or maybe she told them that was her last name as a private joke to herself. For those of you who don't know the history, Myrtle lost her virginity (at the age of 15, I think) at the top of a ferris wheel, which is when she conceived her daughter Rae, whom she gave birth to at the Fanny Battle Home For Unwed Mothers. Rae, played by Linda Dano, was a crossover character on all three soaps for a while -- she was what a Seinfeld episode called a "close-talker" -- she was CONSTANTLY invading everyone's personal space. Anyway, Myrtle's true love then died in a fall from the trapeze (without a net) before Myrtle could even tell him he was going to be a father. It was a heart-renching story of star-crossed young lovers and death; really, we were supposed to be in tears at the tragedy and poignancy of it ... except that we were all laughing our ASSES off when she told it to Rae back in 2000 because she was so melodramatic and it was SOOOO cliched! Maybe you had to be there :-) For some inexplicable reason I can barely find a mention of it via Google, which is strange because I KNOW we talked about it in rec.arts.tv.soaps.abc (aka RATSA).
