Yeah, I'd like to see Angelique get Demetri to love her again
and then have Angelique turn mean and grind him into the dirt!

I could not believe how he reacted to her when she appeared
at the ball!!  
Wouldn't you be a little more happy if your spouse came out
of a coma after 15 years?  He has nerve to talk about Erica
having ice water in her veins.

Chew 'em up and spit him out Angelique!

She's set herself up for that now that she had that birthmark removed

Either that or come up with some feasible excuse as to where the

No, good old Roger was there in the nick of time like usual.  He took Alex
asside and told her that the test results were wrong and that he believed 
she really was Nick's real mother.  He didn't say that he knew that Mimbo
had changed things, though.  I'm not sure why.  I guess he didn't want her
to freak and just go over there and kill her outright.  Anyway, she gave him
3 weeks to destroy the marriage plans and he said he was on his way to Cambrea.

Then, after everybody had gone, there was a most interesting scene in which
Alex drank a glass of something (probably something enormously expensive)
and told her father's picture about how she was determined to pass Spaulding
on to her son rather than to Alan's.  Kind of put a new twist on her obsession
with Nick, I thought.

I don't know about anyone else, but I really enjoyed Jack, Jenn, Jo, and

they would be on instead of Jack & Jennifer.  I can't wait to see how they
do.  Maybe being on the Dr. Love show will put their romance into the next
gear.  I can only hope!!!!  I liked Jack's comment to Vern, "What are you
doing here with Jo?"  Jack is so naive when it comes to his mother's
romantic life. :-)

How about that LB Gardner?  One of the few people on the show who is not
taken in by little Miss Carpet remnant--the other people not taken in are
Rob and her assistant Jody, IMHO.  Boy, LB is one fiesty lady.  So that
makes three strong independent women now, right?  (Julie, Vivian, and LB)
Oops, better not say that too loud, TPTB might hear me and change

A new family has recently come to Santa Barbara.  This is the Walkers.  
If you are a new viewer, you've probably seen most of them.  Jodi and Reese
are married, but seem to have some sort of trouble in their marriage.
They are friends of Cruz's from high school.  Reese will be Cruz's police
partner.  Jodi and Reese have a son, Sawyer - there seems to be 
problems between Reese and Sawyer.  Also they have a daughter who has
yet to be seen.  Her name is BJ.  Saywer goes to college with Lily.

Suzanne is a friend of Cruz's ex-wife, Eden.  One of Eden's multiple
personalities was and "impersonation" of Suzanne.  She lives with Katrina
and she is an artist.  Sometimes she works at the paper run by Warren and
sometimes she works for Angela Cassidy at an art gallery.

Other than these characters, most were covered in the other posts!
Thanks for those, by the way!  It is great to hear a summary of
the characters once in a while, even for a not-so-recent viewer!

Are you talking about the person in Warren's class.  The name is 
Troy.  Is this person a guy or a girl?  It seems to me that
they are trying to pass Troy off as a guy but yet she is 
a girl.  Am I making sense or am I just imagining

I don't understand what they are doing.  It seems that the
Lockridge's are fading away again, fast.  First they all
came back (well not all at the same time) but then Laken
leaves, then Augusta, then they put Minx on day player
status and Cassie is leaving.  This only leaves Lionel
and Warren.  I hope they do something to make sure
they at least stick around.  

Don't get me wrong, I love Cruz and Jodie, but I hope that 
some of the other characters don't get pushed to backburner
because of Kim Zimmer.  (Does that sound right?)

Well, the actor was great with the Nick role.  He made Nick three
dimensional.  It was wonderful to see a character that wasn't just
evil or just good.

>He annoyed me everytime he was on.

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it.

>He was a greasy slimeball.

Yeah, but not always. Like when he was in love with April or when he
was hiding in the house when Eve was kidnapped.

>He was really disgusting with Eve.

OK, so he was her pimp, but he never physically hurt her.  I think he
even took care of her, which is more than you can say for most pimps.

>He had no morals.

Yes he did.  When he was married to April, he didn't once try anything
with her - he was a perfect gentleman.  He would even help out at the
hospital at Christmastime by dressing up as Santa Claus for the child-
ren and donate money annonymously.

I agree that he did go back to his old ways in the end, but I recall
the actor saying that he didn't want Nick to turn into a goody-goody
character.  He wanted him to leave the show (die) as a villian.

I for one would welcome Nick back.  He would be great for Carrie or
as an ally/enemy for Rafi.

You are absolutely right, I did forget Dani.  Please forgive me, but people

I hope this is a real good cat fight, but I don't it since, as my Vickie so

The most humorous line of the day was in that scene where Bo says, 
"...I'm a workin' stiff"

....NOT. I am really sick of Bo and Carly, no matter how cute RKK is.

I haven't seen him work in at least a year.

The best line of the day (IMHO) came from LB Gardner when she looked at
Roman as "Hazel" and said, "What is that?" I thought the scene with LB in
her skivies was pretty amusing.

     Just out of curiousity, since I don't watch anymore and
probably am totally wrong (not that that ever stopped me
from opening my big mouth before or anything) how about this
for a scenario...
     Do we know for sure that it's the same locket?  Or
could there be two identical lockets, perhaps given by
Mrs.Alamain to each of her children?  Maybe this is what
they will use to link John to Lawrence.  Like back when
Steve and Adrienne and Jack all had matching pieces of
jewelery from Jo, which is what led (in part) to the
discovery that they were siblings.
     Just an idle thought....

Though, usually a lurker I just had to jump in and express my thoughts on this
one. First of all, congratulations to all of the newly married people and good
luck to those of you looking forward to the big event.  If you have founded 
your relationship on understanding, communication, and mutual respect, the 
decision to keep your name or take on a new one should not of itself have 
great impact on your marriage. 

Just a reminder that women's lib is about choice and whatever a woman decides, 
she should not be mocked for it--be it traditional or deviating from the norm. 
Though grounded in the idea that a wife is the husband's property, sharing a
single last name can be a beautiful symbol of the unity a husband and wife  
share. Sometimes one or the other may have more identity wrapped up in their
last name and it can be a loving gesture to take on his/her last name--be it 
the male or female's name. Those who decide not to do this, most likely have 
other beautiful symbols which they treasure, such as a ring or unity candle.
Just because we chose not to partake in a particular custom, doesn't mean that 
we can't appreciate the symbolism of another couple's choice. In the
end, it is 
just a symbol and our daily actions are how we build a lasting relationship.
