Good build-ups on today’s show (Tuesday, 7-9) ….

for upcoming storylines.  First, we now know that Theresa is, in fact, Jeanne Donovan, the daughter of Shane Donovan and Kimberly Brady.  I have changed my opinion, however, that she is a narc or someone under-cover.  I think she’s just going to be another bad influence to aggravate or embellish JJ’s s/l even further and lead to his downfall.  Plus, now that she’s become sort of an enemy of Jennifer’s, she may even work with JJ and perhaps even that creature from hell, Anne, to instigate all sorts of turmoil for Jennifer and Daniel.

Glad to see the war begin between E.J. and Stefano.  He looked a little more than worried at the end of today’s show after Stefano’s threat.  Kristen, on the other hand, was certainly not fooling E.J. when he asked her who’s side she would be on and she hesitated, causing him to tell her:  "so that’s code for whoever comes out on top" or words to that effect.

Now that Daniel is zoning in on what really happened to Eric, will Kristen turn her guns on him before she continues any further with her sick revenge plots?  Seems like she thinks Daniel is getting a little too close.  Will Dr. Chyka pay for this blunder?

When Stefano told E.J. that he would kneel down before him and beg him to come back tells me he has, or knows the whereabouts of, the razor used in the Rafe castration attempt, and that’s what he will use to force E.J.’s hand.  He will probably be the only one who is able to save Sami from a prison sentence once the truth comes out, which probably will be as soon as Adrienne gets sight of the video with Sami chasing and attacking Bernardi.

Lots of lead-ins today which makes me believe this will NOT be a boring summer.  Keep up the good work, writers.  So far you are showing at least me why DOOL won the Emmy for best daytime drama, and they are now reaping the rewards in ratings.  Congratulations, for a change, to TPTB!
