Okay who is Roman Drake or Wayne...now for the first few years
I would have said Wayne, though now I would say Drake. For the
mere fact that he played the role much longer. I cannot buy this
crap that poor Drake played it for sooooo long then they decide
to rehire Wayne, he agrees and shazam Drake is no longer Roman.
The whole plot was so damn contrieved and had more holes than
TPTB's heads. The TPTB must have even realized how rediculous this
was by the fact that they did not even both to properly deal
with this proposterous set of events: They just said Wayne was
Roman fine, end of story. Unfortunately now to reverse this
they would have to come up with another stupid plot device which
I doubt they could handle. So I would say that for me Drake is
Roman, but I doubt I want it to come up plotwise for the fact
that the writers could never handle it in an interesting, logical,
or intelligent manner--they are just suited for writing pathetic
storylines for the likes of Crystal Chappell, Rinna, and Patrick
Muldoon, whose "acting" skills mirror the writing skills of the "writers."

I will say that I will give Jim Reiley a chance since Jack is more
in keep with the Jack of the past, semi-devious, sarcastic, yet
in the end a decent person--though I hold out finally judgment
that he will not come out as a money grubbing buffo. Finally there
seems to be some examination into the Marlena/John/Roman relationship.
There does seem to be a new villan on the horizan. If only he would
kill off Billie, Asstin, and most esp. Camelface.

I nearly died that we actually saw Wings, but I did not notice my
man Dave, was he on? Or did they axe him in favor of a younger
body who will be the club's new shirtless waiter?

I like Philip (?? Burgi) seems to a capable actor and is quite sexy.
Though I fear that he will neither be a hero nor the show villan,
instead just minor character who will wind up road kill.

I have noticed that Bo is wearing an earring as of late, I had
not notice RKK wearing it in the past. Did he? Or is this yet
another example--like riding his bike--of the return of the old
Bo to pave the way for the return of "Hope?"

Has Muldoon EVER gotten a line out properly? I just cannot bare
watching the guy, he is just plain awful. I guess he is used
to get the teenage set into the show. It does not matter that
he cannot act as long as he goes around topless there are plenty
of folks out there who view that as talent.

Billie like anyone really cares that she gets stoned...it is
really hilarious though since she does not know how to act
like she is having a bad trip, nor do TPTB know their drugs...
I still laugh at the fact that they confused acid with Coke.
Maybe she can do like all those folks did in the horror
stories we were told in school, drop acid and then went
flying on LSD Airlines, and unfortunately had a little problema
with her landing--SPLAT.

What will happen with Wings? Is every friggin' social gather from
now on going to take place at the Brady Pub. 

I though am impressed with Butthead's boat, it seems so stable when
people walk inside it and when Butthead and Carnalknowledge do the
nasty. 

The new Kim seems okay...but Patsy played a better flakey Kim...


Spudnix--Well looking forward to when TP: FWWM (one of the top 10
worst movies of 92) comes out on video, since dispite what the
anal reviewers said it was a damn good movie and HOT--Peel.
