I think that Angelique and Dimitri will at some point end up together, but 
first he'll have an affair with Erica. Now I know Trevor is a one-doll kinda
guy, but I'd like to see Trevor and Angelique involved! I love Trevor and
Nat together, but I've been ready to see Natalie regretting dumping Trevor
and having to fight to win him back for  a long time now. I'm still hoping
that seeing the baby will change her mind. But at this point I don't want
to see Trevor just say "ok, doll, I'm so thrilled, hurrah, let's get 
married."   I like Angelique a lot. What do y'all think of that match?

Well, Angelique let her have it yesterday. I would like to see more like she
was when she first came on, sort of a dark-side of Myra character. Not a 
deranged overprotective mother.

I don't think it can last that long. Please don't let it last that long. I
get so bored by these teen love storylines. I mean, we all know they're too
young for love of a Tad/Dixie, Erica/Jack, Palmer/Daisy magnitude anyway.

I agree Natalie's been rendered near worthless, but she's got so much
potential still. She was my favorite woman before the well, now I can
hardly stand her. But I'm with Caz in still liking Kate and I think she'll
be redeemed eventually.

I think Tom and Livia are one of those couples that make good marriages in
real life, but boring ones in soaps. I really did like Tom with Barbara,
though. All that sneaking around when Skye was pretending to be in a coma.
He wasn't so dull then.
