Well, today we got to see another new character. Yeah, I guess. Breaks the monotony.

Subject: Charity and Miguel – ho hum - I DON'T GIVE A CRAP

Tabby and Timmy are drinking Martimmys and celebrating. So, what else is new. As Tabitha whined for the 2,000th time since the show began about Charity coming into her powers, and that it spelled ‘Doom’, I recalled what a poster wrote on a message board: that they felt that Passions better get with the program and seriously re-think this mess with regards to Tabby, Timmy, Charity. How, this continuous hamster-wheel of doomsday prophecies, mixed in whatever ‘supernatural’ element that they could create, was annoying before hand, but, now, it is completely unnecessary.

Tabitha is a witch. Several hundred years old. How did she ever survive for all those years. What was the purpose of her existance.  One of the reasons why I absolutely hate the Charity/Miguel WUV Story is that it has chained characters, that are interesting and have so many possibilities OUTSIDE of the Charity/Miguel NON-Story to them.

So that Tabitha’s long life, and interactions with the REST of Harmony are only hinted at, while she is continuously wasted on the likes of Charity and Miguel.

I was bored senseless with Charity and Miguel today.

1. I don’t care about them.
2. They aren’t a story. They are a NON-story. \
3. I can’t believe that Passions has SIX teens, and made the focus of the teen part of the show, two awful characters, played by actors with absolutely NO chemistry, and NO story between them.  Sheridan and Luis – they have a story about trying to fight to be together. We saw the progression of their relationship, bit by bit. Ethan and Theresa – I hate them, but, they have a story. A lot of the depth of the story is ignored in order to propel ‘The Hustle’, but, the STORY is still there. Charity and Miguel HAVE NO STORY. They met, fell in LUV 1.1 seconds after meeting.

WHY are they in love?

WHY should we care about them?

WHY is the teen part of this show focused around a couple with NO story and NO chemistry?

I don’t care if JER has every other character on this show pontificate about Charity and Miguel.

I don’t care how many times Miguel saves her. He looks obsessive, not heroic.

Charity and Miguel look like The Teen Suicide Pact of Passions.

So, do I care that a tree told her to sacrifice him?

Heck no. I’m cheering the Tree, Tabby, Kay and anyone else who will put me out of the misery of having to watch this wretched coupling.

Subject: Brian, Sheridan, and Liz……..Luis and Chad

Brian is taking care of Sheridan. He’s already admiring her for her beauty. He gets the boat to land on an island, and takes Sheridan inside for shelter. They arrive in a hotel, where he tells his friend Liz about Sheridan, and she calls for a doctor. He explains that he didn’t take Sheridan to Bermuda because he didn’t think she would make it there. He wanted her to have immediate care. He knows that ‘her people’ must be worried about her, and he can’t wait for her to get back to them.

Luis, meanwhile, was alone with Sheridan’s ‘remains’, thinking about her. Chad came out to talk to him about going back with them on Julian’s jet. Luis said that he couldn’t go. He couldn’t leave the last place where he and Sheridan were so happy. He wasn’t ready to let go. He told him that he thought, sometimes, that one of the boats contained Sheridan. Bringing her back to him. Luis spoke of his life being in black and white until Sheridan arrived and she provided the color. Chad commented that it was obvious that Sheridan was a special lady, and that he was glad to have met her. He tried to sympathize with Luis by telling him  that he’s carried his own burden, and now he thinks that the pain he carries with never having his parents in his life would be nothing compared to having them and losing them. He knew that his words were probably hollow to Luis, but, he wanted to know that he cared and would be there for him.

While some thought the scenes were ‘odd’ because Chad and Luis aren’t ‘that close’, I loved them, mainly because of the terrific acting on Donn’s part. He was reserved, yet emotional, and perfectly balanced with Galen today. Donn embodied every inch of the Chad Harris that I love, and none of the creep that he’s become. The Real Chad is in there somewhere. I saw him today.

Luis went back into the resort, where he heard  that they were bringing in someone from sea. He was hopeful for those few moments, until he saw that it was  a man. That was the sign for him that he should leave. There was nothing else left for him on the Island, and he decided to go home.

Subject: The Last of Bruce – Awe

We left everyone else in Bermuda looking for the Justice of the Peace, so that a double wedding could be performed. The problem is, nobody wanted the marriages to happen that day, except for Rebecca and Ethan.

Julian certainly didn’t want it done, and is sweating about the prospect of marrying Rebecca, when Bruce comes over to joke with him, kidding that Julian should just start a harem. Julian laments that he’ll be married AGAIN as soon as the JOP is found, and Bruce tells him not to worry – he stashed the JOP in a closet where no one will find him.

Ooops, Bruce. Too late. Theresa HAS already found him, and Rebecca wants to know what Theresa has found. Theresa closes the door, and tells Rebecca that she shouldn’t look in there. Rebecca wants to know why, and Julian and Bruce hear them talking and go out into the hallway. Julian says that Rebecca shouldn’t look into the closet, because the hurricane brought rats to the hotel, and since Rebecca doesn’t like them, she agrees. Now that he knows that the JOP is all tied up, Julian is back to his slimy self, pouring on his own brand of ‘charm’ with Rebecca, getting her nice and comfortable about marrying him. Rebecca is fine, and is now ready to marry in Harmony.

While they were all outside, Gwen was doing her best to try and ‘comfort’ Ethan inside of the Chapel. She told Ethan that maybe he and Theresa shouldn’t get married, and that Ethan needn’t worry about Ivy – that she was strong, and would make it. And, that Ivy wasn’t alone, because she had Pilar and Sam. Ethan challenged her about Sam, but, Gwen believed that with everything she had heard about Sam, he would never leave the mother of his son if she was ill.

Whitney and Theresa came upon Ethan and Gwen talking. I had to LMAO at their ‘righteous indignation’ about Gwen cozying up to Ethan. Trying to talk from a point of moral certitude, when it was their lying and deception, along with Ethan’s stupidity, that broke up Ethan and Gwen in the first place. Yes, Gwen would make a play for Ethan if she found out about Julian and Theresa’s marriage. It was just hilarious watching those two liars try and claim moral highground. I loved Gwen’s rolling of the eyes, as she watched Ethan and Theresa when she came back in. Natalie does a lot without dialogue. All of Gwen’s pain, hurt and disgust were plain to see all over her face.

Next thing we know, they all are on the plane. I cracked up that everyone changed clothes. Julian was in a very Julian-esque outfit, and had his handy drink in hand. Theresa’s outfit looked a little ‘sexy’. I thought Gwen’s dress , both the color and the fit, ALMOST made up for that hideous white number that we were stuck with for weeks.

Theresa tells Julian that he has promised to get the annulment, and she intends that he keep his word. Julian told her that they were still officially on their ‘honeymoon’, and she rolled her eyes…LOL

As they all got seated, someone came aboard and called out for ‘ Mrs. Crane’. BOTH Rebecca and Theresa responded to the name.

UH OH!

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Everyone looks confused, except for Julian and Whitney, who look mortified.

Ethan asks Theresa why she responded to it, and Theresa comes up with that she and Ethan are so close to being married, and she still thinks of Ethan as a Crane, so she thinks of herself as Mrs. Ethan Crane. Ethan nods, ‘OK , I’m still getting used to my new name also.’

The alternative is just inconceivable to any of them, even suspicious Rebecca and Gwen.

Well, I guess we’re finished with Bermuda. For now.
