Okay...my turn.  I've been reading all the posts about Thursday's show
and must say that I pretty much agree with all of them!  At least, I
think I do.  :-)

As Gail noted, when Isabella said she knew Carly would have given her 
a big smile and hug when she came in the door if the news had been 
good, it was very touching.  I was very impressed with Staci's acting 
during the entire episode...she even cried real tears.  It was 
powerful.  I was even able to forget all the stupid things she's done 
in the past -- although, that stuff hasn't ever bothered me nearly as 
much as it has other people on the net.

Dang it all!  I guess I liked Bo's reactions better than the rest of 
the group.  That's very hard to admit in light of my post yesterday in 
which I said I'd rather watch Scarrie and gang over Bozo.  Dang dang 
dang!  :-)  Anyway, I thought that was his best acting RKK's done 
since he joined the show.  It wasn't great but it was a *lot* better 
than we've seen from him.  And...acting aside, I was glad to hear the 
sentiments he was expressing...about feeling bad for thinking about 
himself when he should have been showing more concern for others.  It 
was *very* true.  And, we've been saying that for weeks (months?) by
now!  :-)

Kim.  Sigh...it's all so stupid.  I occasionally get the feeling that 
this could be interesting and then it gets stupid again.  The bar 
fight scene was atrocious.  The shopping scene yesterday was pretty
bad but I liked the stuff later on a bit better.  It shouldn't have
been in yesterday's show, though -- it was sooooooo out of place.  I
really hope TPTB and Patsy can get a handle on this storyline soon.
Or...better yet, drop it all together -- she can just get banged on 
the head again and me all better.  :-)

Lisanne and Lawrence were fabulous yesterday.  I cannot say enough 
good things about the acting talents of Lynn and Michael.  Wow!  I 
cannot wait to find out what Larry's gonna do when he gets his hands
on Carly and Viv!  Ooooh...excitement about DOOL!!  How long has it 
been?  And...Victor's reaction to the news about Isabella ought to be
great.  This is too much to handle...I've gotten so used to boring and
bad that I'm not sure I'm up to the task of dealing with interesting
and good.

Oh, well...I guess that's enough rambling for one post.  I do hope
everyone has a swell Labor Day weekend.

Joanna.

PS:  My email account is soundly screwed up at present.  If you *have*
     to get in touch with me before Wednesday [9-Sep] or so...you can
     try sending mail to peea224@utxvms.cc.utexas.edu.  That worked 
     for Gail today.  Nothing else seems to be getting through.  Isn't
     that special?  :-)  Nothing else seems to be getting out either!
     I'm glad RATS is still here for me!  :-)
