TALA ASHE ON LOST ISLAND?

The series finale of LOST tonight had me blubbing away at the reunion of Desmond and Penny. I asked the equally tear stained Employed Boyfriend why we felt so much for characters we see so little of. He replied "Well, isn't that the way with Noah and Luke on AS THE WORLD TURNS?" Interesting...do we emotionally invest more in things we don't have all the time? Oh, and LOST had my third sighting of Alan Dale in a week!

I will say Tala Ashe needs to send her reel to LOST ASAP. As one of the few truly multicultural shows on air, LOST would be an ideal place for Tala. She can be Sayid's new love interest or the daughter of his dead lover, or she could play another role. After meeting Tala at the ATWT fan club luncheon, where I saw how incredibly different she is from Ameera, I truly realized what an amazing, underappreciated actress she is. Good luck on future roles, Tala, and shame on ATWT for letting go the most interesting young female on their show.

Luke and Noah's scenes were intensely dramatic today, even with the intrusion of the INTURN contestant in the form of a naked, busking sailor. GUIDING LIGHT should take notice of how to film outside broadcast scenes that enhance the action and are also colorful and audible.
