The brief but happy life of RoATWT

My sometime roommate, Kyle, kindly asked me to contribute to his blog, Vogue Republic. I've decided that this will be a more productive use of everybody's time. It'll also allow me to talk about other things, but mostly still As the World Turns.

Thanks for tuning in, and remember that ATWT airs daily at 2 pm, 1 pm central, on your local CBS Station.

Line of the Week

"You've had my husband, you've had my son; it's a good thing I never got a dog!"

NEXT: Do Holden and Lily have a responsibility to keep their family together?

My Own Moral Compass

Recently, one of the more interesting storylines in ATWT was the revelation of the affair between Holden Snyder and his best-friend-and-cousin's ex-wife, Carly Tenney, who happened to be the best friend of Holden's wife, Lily. I shall now endeavour to rate, on a scale of 1 to 10, the moral rightness of various actions taken since.

(1) Holden telling Lily about the affair. 8
(2) Lily attempting to run Carly over in her car. 2
(3) Carly promising never to see Holden again. 9
(4) Carly seeing Holden again. 3
(5) Lily yelling at Holden in front of hitherto-unaware daughter Faith. 5
(6) Luke comforting said Faith. 10
(7) Emma trying to get the family back together at the most awkward barbeque since the aptly named "Pasadena Meet the Mistress Barbeque" of Brothers & Sisters.* 8
(8) Parker calling Carly a "slut." 5
