	I actually cheered him.  As usual we are *supposed* to
	feel sorry for Carly yet again.  Well I don't.  She's
	made her bed now let her lie in it.  She did lie and it's
	about time some of the other cast members pointed it out.
	Whenever Jack keeps something from Jenn, the whole Horton
	clan makes snide remarks about him so why not her?  She should
	not have lied to Bo about Nikki, just as she should not have kept
	the story about him from Larry.  How many lives have to be
	interrupted by Carly's lies.  Had she not come to Salem, Nick
	would not have blown Steve to bits, Jo would have never shot
	Nick, Jenn would not have been raped, Alice would not have had
	to have a pacemaker put in, Vic would have never been married
	to her, Bo would not have gotten that virus etc. etc.  Larry
	made a remark to Bo about her being a liar and he was right.
	The way she jumped to Larry's defense was awful.  I actually
	felt bad for Bo (and was pleasantly surprised in his acting
	at the church and with ShawnD what an improvement--only he slid
	right back into his usual rut at the bar).  I almost didn't believe
	it was him.  He actually looked like he would burst into tears.
	Bo and Larry have been arch rivals from the beginning.  If he
	takes her back I swear I'll scream.  Bo would score some major
	points with me if he'd yell at her, call her names and throw her
	crap out of his boat.  I can't believe Bo went back to find that
	ring.  I liked the way he flipped it off without a moments
	hesitation.

	It was a nice touch.  I wish John would shave.  His cheeks are
	too poofy for a beard.

	I was really surprised at this too.  7 shots of whiskey would knock
	anyone flat.  Bo didn't even *act* drunk.

	I really do not want to see Carly and Bo sulking for the next
	month.  That I could do without.   Has anyone ever noticed about
	once ever two months or so, Carly has these big crying scenes.
	It is getting soooo tiresome.

	There too busy playing Larry and Carly song.
