Most of this stuff was written in the storyline....She didn't
write her part.  She's done a lot of good stuff too as her
character.  She's a very warm and caring person, and down to
earth....

YEAH!!    Deb Moore was fired!!    Ha!  I didn't know she was
fired.  I thought she was just signed on for a short time.

It's a LOT different when it's yourself who might have cancer,
or someone who is blood close to you.

Oh Puh-lllllllllllllllllease!!  *gag*  *cough*
STaci isn't doing THAT bad of a job in this storyline.  
Give the lady a break!  *sheesh*  Staci is pulling this
off just fine, IMHO.

At least you know your hated Staci will be off DOOL in a 
few months.  It's hard telling how incredibly long we're gonna
have to suffer thru watching DrakeWhoCan'tAct on DOOL.
