Okay--



Now I for one am glad that Jack "stole" the drug money since it
sets the stage for numerous possibilities. For one, the drug
dealer Mr. Fairchild might get rather pissed and thus brutally
murder Billiegoat.  Secondly, it might also set the stage for
a J&J adventure. It seems that this "Mr. Fairchild" is involved
in drugs and was the prono king for whom BillieGoat and Philip
worked for, so maybe a villian in the making. Also, "Mr. Fairchild
may just be a figure head, and there may be an even more powerful
villian in back of him--Stefano? All this might even tie into the
return of Hope. For definitely J&J should be involved with her
return since they were on the Cruise that Defied Description. So
the drug money part does not bother me. Also, it is somewhat in
keeping with Jack's character, he no longer is the rapist slime
who tormented Steve and Kayla, and who also played mind games
with Diana, and is now a loving husband and father and son, but
he still has his devious side, his cynical side. So I like the
drug money bit. Also, I was wondering if he is found out and
then is forced to be a front for "Mr. Fairchild" using his
newspaper to prompt "Mr. Fairchild." 

As for Rebecca: Now I was wondering if in fact they way she
is chasing John is not meant to be contrieved. It seems as if
she is after him for a purpose. Also, I think she is meant to
be an obstacle for John's relationship with Marlena. I think
that the abruptness of the whole thing is because there is
going to be more to the whole thing. I do not know, but according
to the tabloid I read a few months back that Reiley was specifically
brought in to provide FRONT BURNER storylines for Matt and Drake--since
both are two of the most popular actors on the show. So, I think that
we can expect more to this Rebecca/John thing.

I agree with Bosyie, for the life of me I could not stomach, nor
understand all that crap with Asstin. It was just too sappy.
I tend to hate sappy, unless only on the rarest occassions,
I need to have a VERY VERY strong identy with the characters and
there needs to be a logical basis for it. However, in the
case of the crap with Asstin I could not understand it. It is
not as if we really have had this well developed storyline making
us see this profound love he has for Carrie. This plus the fact
that they have switched actresses making the relationship even
more difficult to accept added to the fact that Muldoon is completely
horrific, no emotion at all in his acting to have made this "love"
believable. It was just to damn corny. Again, I think that in the
hands of someone who could act and who in fact was a jazz pianoist
the part of Austin would really be interesting. We never see 
students, esp. Grad. Students, someone who is intelligent etc. However,
Muldoon is too stupid looking to pass off as a grad student, he
cannot play the piano, and he cannot act. Thus ruining completely
the character of Austin. The Onion is right even though the Harpy
dared to insult my team, Billie and Asstin are just Emilio and
April clones....

Crystal just plain sucks. ARRRGGHHH. She is unbelieve as well in
the scenes she is in. She is compeletely ingenious in her scenes.
She appears to me to be affected as a person, she seems to primp
in the scenes she does. She seems to look as if she views herself
superior to everyone--except Michael. She seems so false as Jenn's
friend and I do not mean the dialogue, it's just the manner in
which her character interacts with Jenn--and others. I truely
await the return of Kristian Alfonso now there is a talented woman,
and very attractive one as well.


Oh well Remember FAX MAIL PHONE---
