Since I'm not sure I'm doing the ^L thing properly and don't want to
spoil last night's show for anyone (it's one of the better ones,
folks) I'm going to throw in a couple of extra spaces.  Probably
don't need it now that I've babbled on!!!

I was thinking the same thing.  Nick's pretty slick and I wouldn't be
surprised if he did.  I got the impression, though, that Claudia
knows what he is and can deal with it.  I was so-o-o glad to see
Claudia read Kate the riot act after Kate walked in on her and Nick.
I didn't care much for Kathleen Noonan's character when she was Ellen
Dalton on AMC and I REALLY don't like the Claudia character, but
on last night's show, I actually gave her a "right on, Claudia" when
she told Kate off.

I started changing my mind when he joined her at lunch.  I liked his
remark about baseball players!  But then he would act like a jerk,
then he'd be a real sweetie -- I ended up liking him before the show
was over.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen Paige act like a REAL
friend to anyone.  Her character was GREAT last night.  She was
really human and likeable.  She's usually pretty snooty.  I'd like to
see her continue to be the way she was last night.

I thought Karen was good last night (I must have been in the mood to
like all the people that usually annoy me -- I even liked Claudia (a
first!), but I've already said that).  Mac was being his usual
stubborn self, but Karen (i felt) was being very realistic about
getting Greg's help.  The previews for next week looked like the old
Mac may be back when he deals with the Robesons.

He defines the word "brownnoser."  He was sucking up to Paige, too!!
But he really is lovable.  I do miss Bob, though.

Considering the fact that I HATE Vanessa (nice outfit, Van (NOT), I
was glad to see Nick intimidate her.  But I agree about Nick being
menacing;  it's a bit out of character.

It was really good.  One of the better ones this season.
