Things seem to be heating up in Pine Valley during the final days of winter.

Eventually, the Erica/Greenlee feud over FUSION will get tiresome but in the meantime I’m enjoying it!!! I’ve always thought that Greenlee was this generations version of Erica Kane, that is why Greenlee and Erica seem to butt heads each and every time they come into close proximity of one another. Rebecca Budig and Susan Lucci are on fire in their scenes with another and watching their feud unfold makes me clamor for more, more, more!

And something tells me we will get more, more, more especially if the new writing regime decides to explore a Jack/Erica romance once again. How will Greenlee react if daddy dearest runs back to the wicked step monster? Something tells me not to well…..

But Greens current hubby David Hayward will be there to pick up the pieces.  I may be in the minority here, but I am finding enjoyment in the whole David/Greenlee pairing. I think Vincent Irizarry and Rebecca Budig are electric in their scenes with one another and that electricity carries over to our screens. David and Greenlee are both flawed characters and something tells me that they will look through those flaws and this marriage of conveinece will eventually turn into one of love…leaving Ryan out in the cold.

Now if we could just get Josh Duhamel back as Leo (even if for a short run) and have Greens torn between two brothers….now that would make this show and pairing just a tad bit more interesting!!

Whichever brother or hubby Greenlee did not choose for that matter could always cross paths with Madison North. I’m LOVING, LOVING, LOVING Stephanie Gaschet in the role of Madison and am glad that someone at the network made a wise decision and signed her to contract. I watched her on Guiding Light, was not a fan of hers and was certainly not impressed. But she has found her niche in the role of Madison. 

I like how Madison has been intermingled into the workings of FUSION and is now working alongside former rival, Randi Hubbard. Something tells me that the nice, sweet Madison that we are seeing is just a ruse and that evil Madison (the one we all love) will soon rear her head once again. If I were Randi I think I would definitely be keeping an eye on her….especially if Madison and Annie form a bond of friendship with one another. 

And speaking of Annie, it’s now becoming obvious that she will do just about anything to keep her rightful spot in the Chandler family. I’m LOVING the whole Brooke/Annie feud and love how Annie suddenly feels threatened by Brooke being back in the picture. Things should get interesting when JR discovers that Annie was the donor that saved his life.

Will these two forego their differences or will Annie use the fact that she saved JR’s life to her advantage with a little thing called BLACKMAIL. I could see Annie using this to keep her home in the Chandler mansion, stake claim to her share of the Chandler fortune and even weasel her way into becoming the next Mrs. JR Chandler. 

Or maybe she would weasel her way into the life of JR’s step brother. No my dears, I’m not off my rocker as I do realize that Jamie Martin is not on the canvas and has not been for a few years (and at this time they’re no plans to bring the character back), what I’m referring too when I say step-brother is a thought, or notion that Damon Miller happens to be the son of Tad Martin. 

We found out that Damon’s mother is Hillary Wilson, the former wife of Tad and the step-daughter of the deceased Phoebe Wallingford. Therefore, Tad being Damon’s father is not out of the range of possibilities here. If my memory serves me correctly, Hillary was also involved with Mitch Beck after her divorce from Tad. Could it be that perhaps Mitch is Damon’s father?  Something tells me that however this storyline plays out, that viewers will be treated to some of this show’s great history and perhaps some visits by beloved characters that have not been seen or mentioned for years. 

Overall, this last week was an interesting week in the Valley. I think I’ll tune in and see what is coming down the pipeline. Their just might be hope for this show yet.
