Hi there! I have posted several times these past 
couple of weeks- maybe they're not getting out!!

I have said basically the same thing since Merciless started - I love her!!
I think she's the best thing that has happened to this otherwise 
sleepy-soap!  If I'm not mistaken, they used to play a car
commercial (can't think of which one), that I'm pretty sure 
had the actress who plays Merciless on it.  It was the commercial
that showed various people leaning up against the  front of their
car saying how much they loved it - she was washing her car (I think).
(I'll rack my brain for more details on which car commercial 
this may  have been).

>Why is Inspector Clue, So? hanging around?  They must plan to do
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Love this name!!!!! I haven't been able to actually watch the shows  
these past couple of weeks so I have been relying on the updates
and the comments - too bad I don't have a face to put with this
name! 
    
>>>The repair guy at Frantics is really creepy.  Do you think they are going
>>>to kill her off too?  The Harpers must have something really nasty on

I have been reading the comments on this particular scene and something
has really bothered me about it.  If I stated a particular uneasiness
with someone who had access to my home, and I my husband simply blew it
off as if it were no big deal - then, I would have to take matters
into my own hands and insist that this person be replaced with
someone else!!! Afterall, it would be MY home, MY family, and MY 
life that would my concerns - so Frantic needs to stop relying
on her husband to keep her safe and secure.  Why hasn't H2D 
taken her concerns into consideration??? BECAUSE I STILL THINK
HE IS GUILTY IN SOME WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM!!!!!! 

>>Second only to offing AnUS, I'd LOVE to see Frantic get offed. If not that,
>>I want Darryl to be involved with these murders somehow and watch her eat
>>crow after telling everyone how WONDERFUL he is....

Yes!  I don't necessarily want to see her killed off, just not with H2D!
They make me sick together! I know I am not in the majority with this
opinion, but.... I don't like Snoozin and McDLT together, so I would
like to see Frantic crawl back and beg forgiveness from McDLT!
It seems that the writers have forgotten, once again, that they
do have some actors/actresses on this soap that can act and
2 of them are Snoozin and McDLT!!  Where have they gone?
It seems that the writers have forgotten they were developing
a storyline with these 2 (even though I don't care for their
characters together - I liked it better when they were just
friends).

What is this clause all about? This is the first time I have
seen mention of it? What is it for?

Ohhhh, I like this theory! Except that our favorite Hunky would 
be dirtying his hands, and he has always been so upright!
And wouldn't it put a rift between him and Jess?  
Could be interesting.......

Also, someone mentioned(Rodders, I think) that we need to, yet again,
revise Anus' name since he has gone beyond his current one!!
