Murders Most Foul

Hot on the heels of my admittedly scathing review of Friday's ultra-campy, Scooby Doo meets The Munsters inspired episode of All My Children which culminated in the murder of Stuart (Not Adam) Chandler, I finally had the opportunity to catch up with Guiding Light, which had its own less heralded "Who Killed Edmund Winslow?" whodunit kick off.

We Misse You Tamara Tunie

As the World Turns' loss is, well, As the World Turns' loss. Former As the World Turns' star Tamara Tunie is on the cover of April's The Boulevard magazine.

Am I the only one still upset about As the World Turns' apathy towards Tunie's character Jessica Griffin? We never saw Jessica enough during Tunie's last years on the show and when Jessica did get a front burner storyline it ended up being an atrocious triangle with Margo and another man or she played props to her daughter Bonnie. Now, her nephew Dallas is a cop in Oakdale and her daughter Bonnie has returned but neither seem to fit into the canvas as they are being written. Both Bonnie and Dallas seem to be like fish out of water without Jessica in town to provide some depth to their characters history.

Here's to wishing Tamara Tunie were still in Oakdale.
