I better not comment on this.  You don't want to get me started today.
But I am sad for 2 reasons, 1 because A Martinez left and 2 because
of the way they wrote him off.  This was not the Cruz that we have
gotten to know and love over the years.  They ruined him and his
image. (IMHO)

And they wonder what the deal is with the ratings.  I think Santa

Hey Viv, you are not alone.  I don't like BJ and Warren together 
either.  I don't see any chemistry or fireworks.  I think that
Warren and Angela had some kind of spark.  I have a question,
Warren and Angela had a thing going, she gets into an accident
and no one notifies Warren.  Like Angela said "I must not have
been such a nice person" "No one has come to see me".  Where
is Warren? He goes to this place with BJ, what about the paper?
Okay I'm done nitpicking.  I'll go quietly now too.
