As far as kisses go, it wasn’t earth-shattering. But Katie’s peck on the forehead to Henry this week was all it took to cement my belief that these two are destined. The Katie/Henry/Mike triangle is the best story not being told right now.

It’s always interesting to me that soap execs often miss what’s obvious to viewers. I’m sure Pilar was brought back to be an obstacle for Mike and Katie, but a more believable obstacle was already in place. It’s blatantly evident that the third leg of this love triangle should be Henry.

He’s been watching Katie’s back for years, scheming with her, drying her tears, and most of all, loving her from afar. What wasn’t clear - until recently - was if Henry’s affection was brotherly love or romantic. The last few weeks however, Trent Dawson has portrayed Henry’s feelings for Katie as far more romantic in nature. A longing look here, a subtle double-entendre there - it’s becoming clear that he sees her as more than a pal.

Maybe they shouldn’t cross the friendship line; It’s one of daytime’s best. But what a powerful and realistic story it would be to have these two tempted. Henry is what Katie’s been looking for. He’s excitement and stability all rolled into one. They could be daytime’s Harry and Sally.
