[Onion not Banana]
 
Boy you people have been active lately!  I have  a few comments.
 
Nick
 
I for one, loved him.  He was a three-dimensional character and they are
relatively few and far between on Days.  He certainly wasn't perfect, but
he loved Eve, another one of my favorites.  My favorite stuff they ever did
was when Nick was hiding in the house where Eve had been kidnapped.  It
was great.  I was not a fan of Nick and April mainly because I couldn't
stand the character or the actress (and I use that term loosely).  As
for George Jenesky, he was one of the best actors on this show and there
was absolutely no plot reason to have him kill Steve or to have Jo kill
him.  Days has done some ridiculous things, but in my book, this one is
real near the top of the dumbness list.
 
Danielle -- Romulus
 
I agree that Danielle can't be Romulus.  Someone else was murdering people
and I don't believe she is the murdering type.  I can't tell you the last
time I enjoyed this show as much a I have the last two weeks.  IMHO, Drake
and Deborah have stolen the show.  Talk about steam!  Whew!  Throw in a
little humor and deviousness.  He really looked hurt when he confronted
her.  I am hoping that this means they are not through.  I believed her
when she told him she loved him and that she would have changed for him.
And I really loved her when she hopped out the window after telling him
he'd never forget her.  She had this cute little grin on her face and
he looked disgusted with himself for knowing it was true.  I also thought
it was cute just how much lipstick he had to wipe off his face before
faking like she had knocked him over the head.  I really, really like these
guys!  Drake is the best he's been in ages.
 
So here's my theory.  The Romulus twin is Danielle and Remus is -- Carpet
Remnant.  Danielle is the one who should have married the Alamain.  In
fact, I wanted to know if Danielle's "mother" had the birthmark behind
her ear -- that in fact she was not Danielle's "mother", but Carburetor's
mom.  Leading me to think that John is the true heir to the Alamain fortune
and Lizardo is Viv's son.  John was supposed to marry Danielle on HER
25th birthday, but someone played with both their lives, most probably
Viv and Danielle's mother.  I got the feeling that John Stevens didn't
know who he was even eight years ago and our boy Stefano took advantage
of that fact and his police/PI training.  Wouldn't it be great if John
and Dani (the rightful heirs) find each other after all this time?!
 
Lisanne
 
Another winner in my book.   I did find one thing surprising and I talked
to little Orange Peel last night and she said the same thing.  Get ready.
I thought Lisanne and Bo were kind of hot together.  I do like LB and
Lizardo.  I was just surprised to see the spark between the other two.
 
In addition, I feel absolutely no pity for the hospital and especially
not Carly.  I think their behavior has been atrocious and incredibly
unprofessional.  Besides, why is this terrible torment from Carly's past
suddenly rearing it's ugly head?  Silly, silly storyline.  I hope Lisanne
rips them to shreds.
 
Ick and her stupidity
 
You didn't REALLY think I'd give up on this did you??  Let's see.  She
races off to Switzerland even though -- all together now -- she'd never
do anything to endanger the life of her baby.  What??  She temporarily
forgot about that piece of foam rubber yet again and Marcus had to
remind her??  But the piece d'resistance was that after reading the
headlines "Romulus Thief or Murderer", she waltzes into Danielle's (who
she suspects is Romulus) apartment.  Hey, that's what I'd call protecting
the life of her baby!  Fit that child with a bullet proof vest now.  He/she
will need it.  What a total and complete idiot this woman is.
 
And please.  This woman would win the international whining contest.  No
one does it better.  Jesus!  Do you think she could have nagged John any-
more in Switzerland?  I think it's physically impossible. "Oh John, I love
you.", lip quivering, tears welling up in her eyes.  Gag.  My least favorite
was when he told her that it wasn't a good time and he would call her
later.  "And when will that be?", she said in her most annoying snotty
little voice.  Oooooooh, I wanted to slap her!!  She makes me violent.
 
Tim's poll
 
I did want to make one comment.  Other than Tim knowing who voted for whom,
this poll was anonymous which means that all the lurkers could not have
been intimidated by us big bad meanies.  I noted that Ick and Carly still
finished at the bottom.  Maybe you people who think our opinions are wrong
(as if an opinion could be wrong) or out in left field should think about
the fact that maybe just maybe people in general, not just us ogres, think
that Ick is an annoying and not very redeemable character.  Maybe these
"prevailing" opinions on the net are really the prevailing opinions of
the viewing audience.  Just a thought.
