I thought this was an excellent scene as well.  Matt did some very fine acting
and it sure was nice to see him being serious.  I think Staci did a good job
too.  I liked the line about "The Great Bayview Escape" and then "I wish you
could help me escape now."   The only thing I had a problem with was Isabella
calling Jack her "best friend".  I would think that you'd be inclined to visit
with your "best friend" once in the past year.  If it wasn't for this group
I would never have even known that they were friends.  Since I started up
again last June I don't think they've had a scene together.

This storyline is bound to hit a lot of us where it hurts.  Even if you 
haven't lost someone to cancer, it does make you think.  One thing that
I really like is how they are giving us a good scene with each and every
character in Isabella's life.  I'm always disappointed when something BIG
happens, like someone returns from the dead, and we *don't* get to see how
certain people react.

I couldn't handle the Bo/Roman scene.  Thanks for the update.  :)

I agree.  But in some sense I think they could be betraying the past a bit.
I already cited the example with Jack and the unlikeliness that they are 
"best friends".  I had similar problems with Friday's scenes with Marlena.
Now I thought Marlena has been very good with John [esp.] and with Isabella.
This is the most life we've seen out of her in ages.  The scene with Marlena
and Isabella in the loft was very touching and well-acted.  But I just can't
buy Marlena's incredible concern for Isabella.  Icky was just plain HORRIBLE
to Marlena when she first returned to Salem.  Sure, they got over it, but I
never saw them forge any "great friendship".  I'm not saying that Marlena
shouldn't be upset, but I think they are carrying to too far with the way
she is feeling all this "responsibility" to Isabella.

Whoa!  Take it easy there Linda!  :)


Ok, now here is the answer to last week's lyric, finally...


Intriguing lyric of the week:    
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     "I wish I never learned to weep,
          Don't sell those dreams you should be keeping..."
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
			"Pure"  by  The Lightning Seeds


Ann Pinyan was the first to guess it correctly, but she was closely 
followed by Evil Vince and Erik, The Mad Poet.  Vince and Erik were
also runners up with "Woman in Chains" so maybe their slow newsfeeds
are to blame here.  Honorable mention goes to Nelson, who supplied me
with every 4 letter word ending in "RE" except "PURE".  :)

And now for this week's new lyric...

Intriguing lyric of the week:     (Send guesses via email)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	"A spirit stronger than war was at work that night
	 December 1914 cold, clear and bright
	 Countries borders' were right out of sight
         When they joined together and decided not to fight."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
