Let me be the first to say that I LOVED yesterday's show.  I mean, I really
enjoyed it through and through.  Here's why:

	Lisanne and Gerard [the older French gentleman] were FANTASTIC!!!
	First off, Lisanne looked absolutely delicious!  I hope Wayne knows
	how good he has it!  :)  What a body!  shhhaaaaaa- WING!!!!  Let
	me calm down here.  Besides for Lisanne doing the Victoria's Secret
	thing, the scenes were great.  Kudos to the casting director that
	found this Gerard guy.  What a prize he is/was!!!  This guy had me
	cracking up throughout all his scenes.  He played the stuff French
	stereotype to perfection!!  It was the best comedy I've seen on 
	DAYS since Desiree left.  "Come closer", he said to Lisanne in his
	Pepe le Pew voice.  And Lisanne squirmed away much like the revolted
	black cat from those old cartoons.  They were both magnificent.  I
  	just can't say enough good things about those scenes.  The heart
	attack at the end was a scream too...  with Lisanne thinking she 
	was "too good".  I wish Gerard didn't die, however, because he had
	such potential.  I can imagine him in a scene with Vivian.  Darn.

	I really, REALLY like Victor and Vivian together.  It's interesting
	how they have the same dilemma, basically, and I feel that their
	indecisiveness is coming through nicely.  Well, Vic is sure of what
	he wants now, so it's mostly Vivian.  This is creating very inter-
	esting tension between Viv and Lawrence.  The stuff with him 
	barging in at Victor's was classic!!!   Great soap stuff, if you
	ask me.  I also find Viv and Vic very romantic and touching.  Since
	Chip and Julie I haven't really been touched by a twosome on this 
	show.  J&J were great last week, but there's never enough of them 
	to get into it.  I'm glad to finally have a couple to pull for.

	Lawrence, Nicky and Ivan are great to watch too.  I like the dynamics
	involved here, in how each relates to Vivian.  These four make for 
	a lot of interesting connections.

	I even was able to tolerate the Carrie/ Austin stuff.  I ff'd through
	the Wings stuff because I didn't like the music. Tthe story about
	Carrie being smitten, but Austin only liking her like a sister, is
	a good one.  I still find fault in the acting, but there is really
	nothing wrong with the writing here. 

	The other good thing about the show is that the stuff that was bad
	was easily identifiable.  Every time Marlena appeared I just hit 
	ff and I was set.  I don't know how they could think that ANYONE
	is enjoying all that crap.  I used to love Marlena--  I came back 
	to this show for her for cripes sake --  and I can't even take it
	anymore.   I even like Stella better lately.  At least she has 
	some complexity to her, some mystery, some charisma.  


So, was it just me or did things really look good yesterday.  If only J&J,
Calliope and Julie could have taken over the Roger/Marlena crap, it would
have been PERFECT!!!

[I've received a correct response from Joanna, but I am disallowing it 
 because I sent her this song on a tape recently.  Sallie has guessed
 the group, but we still have no official winner.]
