From Censor, for About.com

GRAVES-- Kay, Simone and Paloma. Lemme get this straight. "Hizzoe's before Bro's?" Is that what I saw them swear to? What-freakin'-ever. This is ridiculous and of course, will only end in one of the girls getting brutally attacked, because we know how much JER loves to abuse his women.

My "What the Freak" Award-- Sheridan, Luis and Beth. Sheridan's sleepwalking? Again. Oh brother, yet another recycled storyline. Luis getting snowed by Beth again? Yet another recycled storyline. *Ugh*

GRAVES-- Fox and Chad. They are both dumb. But what is up with Fox's attitude against Chad? I don't get it. Fox got the girl, but wants to completely disregard her past? Whatevah. Whether or not Chad and Whitney are related is irrelevant.. even if they had just broken up under normal circumstances-- Fox is still outta line for the looks he's giving Chad. Fox knows that Chadney shared a love, and that they have history. He needs to pay that a little respect. That said, he also needs to read between the lines and realize *exactly* what Whitney is up to.

RUH-GRAVES-- Gwen. She gets the thumbs up and thumbs down this week. Kudos to Liza for continuing to play the psycho role so well. That said, how many people does Gwen have to attack before people finally start realizing that Gwen's physical brutality is not purely a byproduct of her break with reality. Gwen's been physically attacking people for years. It's about time that someone said it. And that freak of a psychiatrist who honestly thinks that Gwen would only improve in the privacy of her own home? Gimme a break-- Gwen could be knocking over maids left and right. Gwen needs to stay exactly where she is.. locked up.

GRAVES-- Ethan. Nuff said. Just shut up, Ethan. Even *you* must realize how ridiculous you sound trying to get Theresa to "feel sorry" for Gwen.

RAVES-- Theresa. FINALLY-- my girl is back! Theresa gets the best line of the week, hands down when Ethan was whining to her about how she should "see Gwen-- she's not herself." And Theresa retorted with "Oh yeah, is her jail cell 'wheelchair-accessible?" This was brilliant. Theresa is back in fine form, and while she does retreat a little bit when she realizes Ethan is leaving-- I don't hate her too much for it. While part of it will always be her undying devotion to Ethan, the other part is the fact that she is paralyzed. There is going to be a lot that she can't do for herself, and she is going to need a lot of help. And with Pilar listening to Martin's marathon confession, Luis kowtowing to Beth and beating up Martin, Paloma out "tramping it up" with Kay and Simone, Whitney constantly whispering her secret-- that doesn't leave a lot of people to help her out. And JER won't let the triangle die-- so that leaves Ethan. *ugh*

Best part of the week-- Passions is renewed!! Aww, yeah!

Worst part of the week-- Martin's marathon confession and Alistair trying to kill Sheridan again. I feel like I'm watching repeats.

And now-- a plea to the group. While composing my Gwen vs. Theresa part of the show, I keep feeling like I'm leaving stuff out. So here's what I propose. I want Gwen fans and Theresa fans to send me their "complaints." Meaning I want "true Gwen fans" to send me a list of Theresa's machinations and I want "true Theresa fans" to send me a list of Gwen's machinations. This way, I get the proper perspective on each person and hopefully, a more complete list. Please do not include your lists in your replies to the column, because I don't want to start a Gwen/Theresa debate in the middle of the replies to my column.. please send your lists to my email addy at texaschick42@hotmail.com I will compile them and add your lists to my own, and present the results next week. Thanks again!!

Til next week,
Censor
