Last week on The Bold & the Beautiful, after denying
that she was spiraling out of control emotionally and developing a drinking
problem, to boot, Katie smashed the glass tumbler holding her alcohol. Then, to
demonstrate how desperately low she’d sunk, a tearful Katie picked up the
broken tumbler and sipped from it anyway.
(One does have to wonder why, as there were plenty of other,
intact glasses on the bar, and a half-full bottle, next to it. Why didn’t she
just pour herself another drink and go to town without fear of ingesting shards
destined to shred her intestines Probably because it would have been less
cinematic.)
Heather Tom, who plays Katie, is the only actress in history
to ever win Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Younger Actress, Outstanding
Supporting Actress, and Outstanding Lead Actress. Odds are, there’s another
Emmy (at least a nomination) in her future for this Katie Is An Alcoholic
storyline.
The Daytime Emmys love alcoholic storylines. (Not as much as
they like twin stories,
or rape stories
but alcohol is right up there.)
