EXCUSE ME??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Anna was NOT a total bitch when she first
came on the show.  Put yourself in her shoes for a while instead of totally
wrapping yourself up in your *beloved Holly*.  With the exception of the
fake scar, Anna did what any other person might do under the circumstances.
Her only real crime was setting Holly up to be jailed (I loved that bit!!)
Otherwise, she was only trying to win back a man whom she loved and who
was the father of her child.  She also had to explain to Robert that if he 
hadn't been such an egotistical self-righteous ass back in the seventies and
had actually stuck around long enough to listen to her explanation, he would
have learned that she was forced into betraying her country in order 
to save his miserable life.  Furthermore, Anna believed that when Robert
heard the truth, he would feel differently and begin to love her again.  (I
guess I will now start to get seriously flamed)
	
	As for Robert and Holly coming first..GH can always do a storyline
twist that soaps are famous for.  Besides, Holly was dead when Anna and 
Robert got married - therefore the marriage is legal.   The only reason
Holly got resurrected was because Emma Samms decided to come back.
	In fact, it is Holly's fault that Robin didn't get a chance to live
a normal life with both her parents like other kids.  Holly was just too
damn selfish to give up Robert for the sake of his six-year old child. And
now Holly's pretending to take care of Robin since her parents are dead???
Give me a break!  Anna is strong, endearing and faithful; Holly is not.  
At least Anna had the decency to give up Robert when she saw how much he loved
Holly; too bad Holly just couldn't reciprocate when it came time to 
sign the divorce papers last April.  Rather, even when she KNEW how much Robert
loved Anna, she kept praying that he'd never find Anna.  This is being
sweet and angellic????

	That's because he wasn't being cruel to your precious Holly. 
*sorry..I just had to say that*  I think it's too bad that Robin had to 
start liking her..I liked it better last February when Robin said "I hate
Holly"

O.K. Here is the only place where I agree with you *gasp*  Bill is
being a total sleazebag and the only reason I said I wanted Bill and
Julia to reunite was because I don't like Nasty Ned and don't want him
to be with Julia.  But wasn't Faison in cahoots w/Julia's attorney when
Julia found out about Bill and the Feds?? 

I totally agree with Jenn though - if Holly left PC yesterday, it wouldn't
be too soon for me.  Hey Jenn - let's form a "SEND HOLLY TO SIBERIA" fan
club :-)
