The Secret Circle

[shipperx]

Okay, so I immediately recognized the girl from "Life UnExpected" in the premiere. And I recognized the guy from the "Sarah Connor Chronicles." But I finally recognized the 'good friend'(ish) character tonight and realize why I immediately distrusted her. She was [i]Days of Our Lives[/i] Stephanie Johnson... who should've been a heroine (because it was in the character's DNA) but instead was written as a full-blown psycho.

Wait...Kayla Brady and Steve "Patch" Johnson's kid was written as a full-blown psycho? (Now I want to watch Days of Our Lives all of a sudden.)

(I didn't trust the gal right off the bat, because I know Willaimson's style.
Good girl is bad, bad girl is good. And well who her Dad is, and the fact that she's the significant other of the unavailable cute guy.)

Well, not full-blown, just sort of Miss Habersham-esque. She got really, really obsessive with a couple of boyfriends -- like faking pregnancies, breaking into records, etc. obsessive. I'm not sure how they wrote her out. Adrienne found out about it and eventually contacted Kayla. But I lost track of it sometime after that. Since the actress is now currently on Secret Circle, Stephanie is no longer on canvas. Kayla is supposed to return for Christmas with hers and Steve's son (born during their last go-round on canvas). If he ever gets canned on Y&R, I'd probably lay money on his returning with all the other characters they're bringing back in an effort to beg fans to return to the show (since currently it's rated lower than either AMC or OLTL... and they're both canceled).

And, like you, I didn't trust the SC "good girl" straight off the bat and was betting that the 'bad girl' won't turn out to be particularly bad.

In a way it is sort of comforting, because I think I like the actress playing the bad girl better. ;-)

Oddly, I think Revenge and Secret Circle might be the only two new shows of the new season that are keepers...(I don't know about Ringer quite yet, my gut says it will get canceled like Melrose and Life Unexpected did.)

He's on Y&R too? That show and B&B seem to be picking up a lot of former GH stars. Genie Francis is on it too or so I've heard.

And so...Days is worried again? It was on the block a few years back and got a last minute stay of execution. People are rallying the troops on the fanboards apparently to save GH and kill the "Spew" (aka The Chew) and some reality show called "Revulsion" which is taking the place of OLTL??? Seriously, it is called Revulsion? Ookay. I wish them luck, but I don't see it changing anything.

Saw the final episode of AMC today...which was sort of weird - they ended it with the teaser that Erica jumped in front of JR's bullet, just after Jack gave Erica the Rhett Butler speech. Felt like an abrupt ending. I liked how ATWT ended better. But I guess since it's allegedly traveling to the internet...the cliff-hanger was necessary.

Ironic. The internet killed the daytime soap, yet is also saving it.
