Greenlee learns her earrings are bugged and Jesse's daughter shakes up his world

     The sparks seem to be flying between Erica and Jack once again this week.  wonders why Erica is spending so much time with Adam and she promptly tells him it's none of his business.  This is so very predictable, don't you think?  How many times have we wittnessed the Jack/Erica dance?  The chemistry between these two is pretty sweet to watch and I personally would not mind seeing them back together.

     I am not getting the Jesse/daughter storyline at all.  While Angie believed Jesse was dead, she had a child herself and promptly disclosed this to her come back from the dead hubby.  Angie has also given Jesse more than one opportunity to confess all about his life on the run but for some reason, he never came clean.  Now, his daughter Natalia shows up in Pine Valley to tell Jesse that her mother is extremely depressed and needs him.  Jesse thinks Natalia is being slightly dramatic as he explains her mother is a pillar of strength.  Nat tells Jesse that is not the case since he left.  Hmmm--how is Angie going to handle this one?  Natalia believes if Jesse confesses all to Angie, she will understand.  Will Angie understand at this point though? 

     Ryan demands to know if Greenlee still loves him.  He wants her to look him in the eye and answer him.  Our private detective guy Aidan is listening to their conversation via the listenting device he had implanted in Greenlee's earrings and he becomes so upset, he tosses his Bluetooth across the room.  He never hears Greenlee insist to Ryan that she is in love with Aiden.  It cracks me up.  Our private detective guy goes to the trouble of implanting a bug in his wife's earrings and then only listens to part of the conversation?  Later, Aidan shows up and demands that Ryan back off where his wife is concerned.  He then tells a stunned Greenlee that he bugged those special earrings he bought her.  Greens gets rid of Ryan so she can deal with Aidan.  Aidan accuses Greens of cheating on him pointing our that he heard kissing and moaning.  Greenlee tells him that was compliments of Amanda and Jake not of her and Ryan.  The two continue to to argue.

     Over at the courthouse Emma's custody hearing is underway and Annie freaks out hearing that her doctor intends to testify against her.  Zach tells her that if she tells the judge Emma will be better off with Ryan for now, the doctor won't have to testify.  Annie opts to do just that, and while you may think she's out there, there is no doubt she loves Emma and this was a heartbreaking decision for her.  

     Pete visits Colby at the Chandler estate and tells Colby he only got involved with Adam to find a way to impress her.  Colby points out that she's no Erica Kane (agree with that) and while that tactic might work on a woman like Erica, it simply won't work with her.  She tells Petey she told Adam she would keep his Bella secret as long as he agreed to protect Petey.  She also tells Petey if he is looking for a way to impress her, he should just be himself.  

Many of you were saddened by the recent passing of Eileen Herlie who played Myrtle Fargate on All My Children.  Soaps message boards have been flooded with comments about how beloved Herlie actually was to so many of us.  For comments made by Susan Lucci and Eiden Riegel on the death of the veteran soaps star, check out this Entertainment Weekly   piece and also take a look at her New York Times obituary.
