Jonny Smelter's Network Television Debut!
Soap operas are like poo in many ways- they happen every day, they stink, they vary in consistency, but today I watched One Life to Live with pride as one of my best friends ever made a cameo appearance as a bass player. I know, he was supposed to last week, but I watched it and didn't see him at all (though apparently his guitar made it on) so today I cheered when I saw him. I was all alone at my next-door neighbour's house at the time, so the cheer went largely unnoticed, but it's the thought that counts right? Anyways, Jon was only on for less than a minute but it was so cool to see him. He says there will be more appearances to come. Here is today's daily recap from the One Life to Live website:

Bo questions Troy about Sam's murder and realizes the threatening call Todd supposedly left on Sam's answering machine was placed after the time of the murder. Blair confronts Mitch, who warns her to keep silent. Blair is called in for questioning by Bo. Blair maintains that Todd is innocent and eventually accuses Mitch of murder when she tells Bo about Mitch's threatening phone call. After questioning Mitch, Bo decides to speak with Lindsay. Blair tells Troy she is going to go after Mitch herself. After getting a visit from Mitch, Lindsay tells Jen that Todd killed Sam. Jen goes to Bo demanding that Todd be arrested. Lindsay has a nightmare in which Sam puts her on trial for killing him. Lindsay later overreacts when she encounters Nora at The Palace. Joey convinces RJ to listen to Flash and her band for a possible gig at Capricorn. Flash's audition in interrupted by Antonio, who confronts RJ for not informing him about the memorial service for Keri. Jessica later urges Antonio to hold his own memorial for Keri and the baby. RJ goes to Toronto and visits a very-much-alive Keri and baby Stephanie. RJ convinces Keri they are doing the right thing by making Antonio believe she and the baby were killed in the plane crash. Upset after the failed audition, Flash is vulnerable to the advances of a man she meets on the street. Joey arrives at Jen's room at The Palace to comfort her over Sam's death.

Here is what it SHOULD say:
Bo and Troy and Sam and Todd and Blair and Mitch and Lindsey and Jen and Nora and RJ and Antonio and Flash and Keri and Stephanie are all idiots who suck, but then their lives are changed forever when they see the mighty Jonny Smelter pick up his bass and strum those two notes and they all decide to quit killing and backstabbing and arguing and hating each other and live their respective one lives in pursuit of peace and goodwill for all men. And then Jonny gets a call from some famous director and stars in the most best movies ever made. The end.

But seriously, Jon's scene went like this: Some guys are in a bar and a band is playing and the guys are watching appreciatively when this other guy bursts in and grabs one of the guys by the neck and waves his fist threateningly, if somewhat goofily, in the other guy's face while the band looks on.
