	Now she looks just like Felicia.

	Nope, but Macy sure wanted Karen to think so.

	The idiot/stupid/dummyhead walked out.  NOT ME, baby!

:So Karen will confront Thorne and he'll tell her the truth and they'll be back

	Probably.  It's only the beginning of sweeps month.

: Not that I see Thorne as any prize, either ...

	I'm going to give Karen a modicum of credit, here.  Just a modicum,
mind you!  Though it's a soap staple, it's hard to imagine finding out
you're a rich heiress.  First Karen was manipulated into looking like 
Caroline, and then she wanted to be like Caroline to attract Ridge, now she
wants to do the same to snare Thorne.  So she's being conniving and scheming
and is immature because she hasn't figured out who she really is yet.  She 
should probably have a few more sessions with Taylor.  What she really needs
is for MoMMMa (played well by Dorothy Lyman) to come back and tell her that
she's not at all like the wonderful, homespun Faith that she raised, and
that she's been corrupted by the big city, big money, bright lights, and 
rich young studs.  Like I said before, the plotline/the writers are making
Karen into an amoral, unlikable minx -- sort of like a young Stephanie
Forrester.  Hmmm...  would they be that smart?
	The problem is, if Karen splits with Thorne, there isn't another
available regular on the show except for Sly.  I doubt they'd want to 
cast her romantically adrift for a long time, so what do they do with her?
I've got no answer for that one.
	But as I also said before, a Sly/Karen pairing would give Bill
apoplexy.  It'd be fun to watch!

True.  With evidence that Thorne stole the formula and couldn't
remember because he'd mixed pills and booze... Naaaahh, too farfetched.
