Apparently SoapNet has a "greatest hits" feature for every show each week. I did not know that until just yesterday thanks to The Beth Ehlers Board. For All My Children's Greatest Hits last week Jake & Taylor got a nod for funniest moment, and Beth Ehlers received the Performer Of The Week commendation. There's just one simple word for that: Yay!
Funniest Moment: Hands down, the exchange between Adam and Erica after she called a press conference to announce she would be running Fusion. Erica delivered the following completely straight-faced -- incredulous, with just a hint of confusion:
Erica: "Did you see those reporters? They hardly batted an eye when I announced my plans for a new cosmetics line."
Adam: "Erica, this town was ravaged by tornadoes. A change in management in a company that sells lip liner is hardly breaking news."
Erica: "Are you out of your mind? I'm Erica Kane. Everything I do is breaking news."
Like, it's just a statement coming from her. Viva La Kane! A close second place goes to Jake and Taylor watching telenovelas, and Jake making up his own English translation. You know you do the same when you see them on TV. OK, maybe you don't, but you know someone who does.
Performer of the Week: Beth Ehlers as Taylor Thompson. Here's why: She made us respond in a bunch of different ways this week -- and to us, that's a hallmark of a good actor. First, we wanted to smack her when she was throwing stuff at Jake and bitching and moaning. Then, after Jake shook some sense into her, Taylor took a turn. As she revealed her deep, deep grief over losing Brot, you could see just how lost and alone she felt. After Jake admitted his own feelings, you could see her whole demeanor turn giddy. Almost like a girl with her first crush, all shaded with a slice of optimism -- and hope that her life wasn't over.
