I absolutely agree with everything said here.  From the very first
moment that Holly met Anna, she hated her, long before Anna EVER did
anything to her.  She was so jealous of Anna that she got upset that
Anna's scar was fake.  How petty can Holly be?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.  Angelic is not a word that I would
ever utter in the same breath as Holly.  And the thing is, she still
wants another woman's husband or she would have signed the damn papers. 
Why couldn't she just leave Robert and Anna in peace?

I find it a little hard to swallow that Robin now thinks the sun rises
and sets on Holly.

What!??!?!?!?!?  I like Ned and Julia together.  She makes him seem
almost human.  I think that if Ned had a woman like Julia who can do
anything (and does), he would be a much better person.  Jenny's much too
weak for him.  He needs someone as strong as he is.

By this I mean someone who wants as much as he wants, needs as much as
he needs (does anyone get my drift?).  Jenny just isn't like that, or at
least she WASN'T like that.  Now that she's getting to be that way, it's
too late.  Ned already sees her as a certain kind of woman and I don't
know what it would take for her to change his mind about her.
