The Soapbox: Papa Loves Mambo
So how adorable are Kay and Murph? They got engaged yesterday -- Murphy gave her the smallest ring in soaps history! (and probably Katherine's most modest on record, yet she loved it) -- and right after, they danced their butts off to "Papa Loves Mambo." Which just might be the cutest thing ever.
Then today we get the "Empress Katherine" photo shoot for Restless Style -- I was loving it! And it was appropriate because older actresses like Jeanne Cooper (she's 80!) are the queens of daytime television. And in my book she has one of the best gigs of any actress out there, of any age, at any time of day.
That's one thing I've always loved about soaps -- the willingness of TPTB to center entire shows around older female actresses. And give them storylines of substance, at that. Katherine is an enjoyable reminder of that practice, especially within this particular storyline.
There were some fun lines today:
Murphy: "I know I'm not the sort of guy she usually goes for."
Nikki: "And thank God for that!"
Chloe: "I know you'll make an honest woman out of me."
Billy: "I don't think that's possible."
Ashley (after being fired by Jill): "I loathe her."
Victor: "I do not blame you."
And starting Monday, the countdown to Mac begins!
