  Glad he's doing well.  I liked the character and the actor.

  This sounds promising but why, then, are so many places cancelling it
  and putting on more talk shows?  What is the American fascination with
  talk shows anyway?  Why do we want to listen to some fool who doesn't
  have the good sense to keep their personal life personal?

  Yes!  Now, if we can just get Boston and the others to see the error of
  their ways and come back to the fold.

  Like that Deidre Hall thing that keeps being brought up.  Not only aren't
  we dropping we inching up a little with fewer markets that the other
  soaps.

  Ken's life threatened, oh no, what a pity.  If he is murdered I want you
  all to remember who brought it to you first.  Let me break my arm patting
  myself on the back.
  Okay what does Warren discover?  That BJ killed Frank or that Cruz is her
  real father?  It's got to be the murder.
