Brett and Ryan have to be paired up because they hate each other so
much.  Thats just how it is in Soapy-Land.  Also,  I'd like to see
him with a strong, intelligent, interesting woman.  Although once
they get together, she'll probably turn into a lust-puppy.  

I missed the last year or so of Anne's Vicky/Marly and so I didn't
see it when she and Ryan got together, but I'm sure Anne wasn't the
groping, clinging, lust-puppy that Jenson is.  Jenson's Vicky thinks
that getting Ryan back sexually is the key to getting him back 
emotionally (or at least she used to when she was trying to get him back).

She never tried to come back to him as a friend and win his trust again.
She only tried to get in his pants all the time.  Ryan needs someone who
wants to get into his mind - not his pants.

I would LOVE it if Matt and Donna got together.  That would be a riot.
Donna is so sexy and the actor who plays Matt is a really good actor.
I used to hate his character back in the Josie days because he seemed
like such a frat boy, but I like him now that he's older and calmer.

What a great twist!  What a kick in the head to Michael!  He deserves it!
I can't believe he took off to Hawaii with a cab-driver and left the
amazing Donna behind.  What a loser!

I don't see whats so bad about Donna with a man old enough to be her son.
They do the reverse all the time.  Rachel was younger than Mac's own 
daughter!  I know, now its hard to tell whether Rachel is older than
Iris, but with the old Iris, it was easy to see that Iris had at least
10 years on Rachel.

All the men seem to be significantly older than the women they're paired
up with.

How old are Vicky/Marly?  How long have they been on the show?  I
think its been at least 7 years (2 years w/ Ellen Wheeler, 4 years
with Anne Heche, and 1 w/ Jenson Buchanan).  When they were introduced
on the show, they had their 18th birthday within the year - so they
are about 24 or 25?.  Dennis and Jamie must be in their late 30's by
now.  Jamie is perpetually 30 something, but they were both of in
their late teens, early 20's when Amanda was born and she is around
the same age as Vicky/Marly.

I know that they screw around a lot with ages on this show, but there is
no way they can get away with Jamie and Dennis being any younger than 35
which gives each of them a good 10 years on Vicky and Marly.  And what 
about Grant?  He has to be around the same age.

They seem to be slowing down Amanda's aging process also.  When Amanda
had her baby, she was 18.  How long ago was that?  About 5 years ago?
And Ally is only 2 or 3?  They have to keep Ally young in order to keep
Amanda young?  Is that the deal?

Okay, back to work.
