We actually had people thinking today. Between the Ho of Harmony, Poison Ivy, and the last remnants of the real Chad Harris, brain cells were actually used in Harmony USA today.

Subject: Kay/Miguel/Charity – Ho hum…SHOW ME THE STORY

Charity and Miguel were together in the park. Of course they were. They’ve been joined at the hip since 1.1 seconds after they met. Of course, Miguel couldn’t be around Luis, trying to cheer him up, or just listening to him, like a brother whose brother had just lost his fiance would be doing. Miguel has to be with the other part of the Teen Suicide Pact – Charity.

Charity and Miguel were talking about becoming engaged the day she turns 18. How absolutely ridiculous. They are TEENAGERS – marriage should be the LAST thing on their minds. Just another reason why I don’t like this coupling, and why they bore me senseless.

The further waste of Tabitha and Timmy continued today. Tabitha is several hundred years old, and the best she can do is spying on Charity and Miguel, and whining about Charity coming into her full powers.

NOW, Tabitha is a supporter of Kay trying to get Miguel.

Well, DUH, Tabitha.

I never did get why we wasted over a year and a half on murder attempts, when it would be easier to have just used the little magic and potions that she had left, to help Kay snag Miguel. If Charity doesn’t make love to her ‘true wuv’ (barf), then how could she come into her full powers?

You do see  why this story is insane and utterly insulting. If you’ve actually watched the show since the beginning as I have, it’s leaving a bitter taste in the mouth to realize just how many hours one has wasted watching the complete, utter and useless tripe known as the Charity and Miguel story.

Kay has decided to go after Miguel….Oooooohh

Ummm….McFly….please tell me how this is ANY different from the singular story that Kay’s had since the beginning of the show. The only thing that Kay 1, 2, and 3 have in common, is that THIS was the goal. The objective. Kay’s been trying to get Miguel into bed for a good year, if not longer.

So, what makes this different?

I don’t see it.

This is nothing but a hamster wheel turning, and has been since the beginning of the show.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice (or numerous times in this case), shame on me.

Well, I will accept no more shame from JER. This story is a complete joke.

And, until I see serious action (i.e., one of Kay’s schemes actually SUCCEEDING AND HER GETTING PREGNANT BY MIGUEL), the rest of this mess is nothing but a replay of a rerun that we’ve seen since the beginning of the show.

All the characters are saying the same thing:

Charity: I wuv you, Miguel.
Miguel: I wuv you, Charity. Always.
Tabitha: We’re doomed, Timmy, if Charity and Miguel make love.
Timmy: That’s not good for Timmy and his Princess.
Kay: Miguel will be MINE.
Simone: Kay, you don’t have to do this.

Yadda…Yadda…..

No wonder Passions doesn’t have that many writers. For a full third of the show, there’s no need to have writers. Just recycle, recycle, recycle.
 


Subject: Sam is suspicious…..

Sam is ready to beat up David for ‘attacking’ his wife. Grace tells Sam that David didn’t attack her – she told him to do it.

Sam looks at Grace as if she’s lost her mind, until she explains that David had told her that he thought there was something that could jog her memory, and she agreed to do it. She did NOT know that it was a kiss.

Sam accused David of tricking Grace and David responded that he wanted Grace to be caught unaware, so that he judge the honesty of her response. In David’s opinion, he got the response that he wanted – he knows that Grace felt something when they kissed. That she remembered her feelings for him.

Sam looked so anxious when he asked Grace if it was true, that she had remembered her feelings for David. Grace told Sam no, she didn’t remember, and David accused her of covering because she wants to stay with Sam, because it’s less complicated. Grace insists that she doesn’t feel anything for David, and David leaves.

Sam and Grace discuss David further, and Sam reiterates that he doesn’t believe David. He thinks that David is up to something. Grace doesn’t want to believe it, because she knows herself: how could she have become involved with anyone who she couldn’t trust, and would want to hurt her?

I think that is a good question, Grace. My answer for you is that you were running FROM David when you arrived in Boston.

I did LMAO at shirtless David working on Grace’s House. That was too funny. He wants to remind her of ‘the goods’. He’s not subtle.
 



 

Subject: Chad uses his brain cells, but, forgets his integrity

Ethan and Theresa are with Chad and Whitney at the Book Café. Ethan is explaining what went on at the Crane Mansion, and then jokes that it’s ridiculous to think that Julian and Theresa are married.

While Edumb is the stupidest man in the Universe, Chad, with his eyes wide open, sees the exchange of looks between Whitney and Theresa.

When Ethan sees a friend and asks Theresa to go with him to say hi, Whitney is left with Chad, who asks her if that is the secret: that Julian and Theresa are married.

Whitney doesn’t confirm it, which of course, confirms it for Chad. He can’t believe it, and can’t believe that they are letting Ethan be made a fool of – again. He wants to go tell Ethan the truth, which is the instincts of the Old Chad – who dealt in honesty.

But, hanging around Chief Enabler Whitney, who is further and further away from the truth, has skewed his view of life.

Whitney tells him that Julian and Theresa are married and that the marriage was consummated. Chad is disgusted by the thought of Theresa being with ‘that pig’, but, still thinks that Ethan should know. Whitney talks on and on about Ethan and Theresa’s ‘love’, STILL not getting that love isn’t built upon LIES, and that she’s not doing Theresa any favors by helping her hide this secret.

Whitney whines that Ethan will kill Julian. You know, the frivolous way in which this show refers to murder is ridiculous. It’s one thing to have someone with definite anger management issues, like TC, or someone who has a temper and a lifelong grudge, like Luis. But, they banter about ‘murder’ as if it’s nothing. I know this is supposed to be farce, but, it’s insensitive, and it dumbs down everything. Plus, who is supposed to believe that Edumb could kill anyone?

But, Whitney’s Enabler instincts, and being around the Black Hole of E/T had long sucked the best out of Chad, and soon he was singing the ‘Theresa Victim’ Chorus.

Whitney told him of Julian’s plan to get the annulment, so that when Theresa marries Ethan, it will be legal, and Ethan won’t be the wiser. Whitney does comment about Rebecca wanting to get married, and if Julian turns out to be a bigamist, things could get messy- that’s the understatement.

Of course, Chad’s brain is also working overtime and immediately notices the threat to all of this: Ivy and Rebecca. He knows that nothing good can come of them being suspicious.
 
 



 

Subject: Ivy’s legs aren’t working, but, her brain is

Ivy is in her room, thinking about the turn of events in the library.

She is still thinking when Pilar comes in. She and Pilar get into it. She tells Pilar that she doesn’t believe Theresa, and tells Pilar that she blames Theresa for everything that has happened to her.

Pilar tells her that Theresa isn’t responsible for her:
a) going to Sam on her wedding night
b) staying in a loveless marriage for all those years
c) not giving up on chasing after a married man
d) climbing up onto the tower to help with the light

She shows Ivy a mirror, and tells her to take a good, hard, look. The person in the mirror is responsible for what has become of Ivy’s life.

Ivy tells Pilar that she doesn’t want to fight with her. That she wants to believe that Ethan is ok. That nothing will happen to him. And, if Pilar tells her that Ethan is safe, with no secrets of Theresa’s that can hurt him, then she will believe Pilar.

Pilar takes a deep breath and tells Ivy that Theresa has no secrets, and leaves.

Ivy comments after Pilar has gone, that she knows Pilar as well as Pilar knows her, and she KNOWS that Pilar was lying to her when she said that Theresa had no secrets.

Ivy goes to make a call. It’s to the Head of Crane Security. She tells him that she knows something happened between Julian and Theresa in Bermuda, and she wants him to find out.

Go Poison Ivy! Loved watching those brain cells working.
 
 



 

Subject: ''Is this the part where you lick my stamp and I stuff your envelope?''

Meanwhile, in the Library, Julian is still guzzling down booze, and telling Harper how much he admired Theresa’s ability to lie on her feet. He told Harper that Theresa lied  like a ‘true Crane’ – LOL (I told you he admired her ability to lie)

Julian laments that he wished Theresa could remain a Crane and Harper told him to get those thoughts out of his head.

Julian hangs up as Rebecca walks in, ‘unarmed’ , he tells Harper, and then, Rebecca begins to play her games.

These two are gross, but, they are funny too. Rebecca is a Ho, but, she’s a smart Ho, and she begins to play Julian well. She ‘apologizes’ for thinking that he and Theresa could be married. She couldn’t believe she could think something so horrible. Does Pookie forgive her?

Of course he does, and tells her that she’s the only woman for him. Rebecca says that she knows she was being silly, afterall, why would Julian want a teenaged girl, when he could have an insatiable, hot to trot woman at his beck and call. Julian says that she IS the only ‘floozy’ he wants.

Rebecca then proposes that they play some games. This was SO funny. The sexual references alone were funny. Rebecca gets Julian all hot and bothered, as they role play ‘mergers and acquisitions’.

By the end, you see that Rebecca the Ho, is indeed Rebecca, the SMART Ho, and the ‘play paper’ that she had Julian to sign was a Marriage License. She wants to get married tomorrow. When Julian shows hesitation, she wonders why – he had just said that he wanted to marry her immediately – now, he gets the chance.

So, we had three smart characters today: Chad, Ivy and Rebecca.
