	This makes absolutely no sense (that she would believe it could
	hurt Nikki).  Bo knows she had a son by the man and accepted it.
	Why would his feelings change because he's alive?  I think Larry
	has total dissolved as an a bad guy.  The way he's constantly
	with the 'he's OUR son' is so lame.  I would be much more interested
	if he tried to make Nikki hate Carly.  This I would find devious
	this undying love for Carly has got to go.

	It's the circumstances surround her little visit.  She went
	to her rapist's house.  The man who raped her, then terrorized
	her.  Had it been at Carly's room at the inn, or apartment,
	I would not have had any problem with it.  I know I wouldn't
	go hanging at my rapist house even if my best friend had a
	child by him.

	I don't love Jenn, but I do love Jack.  I loved him BEFORE
	Carly was ever mentioned.  The man can act and has been
	ignored and instead we are treated to the days of Carly.
	Jack has been on much longer and deserves much more air time.	
	Jenn has her good and bad days.  There is also something more
	there than just a story.  It's the chemistry.  There was a
	scene on a Monday where you can see it.  The one where they
	are laughing and talking about missing the little things they
	used to do.  I don't see this in Carly and Larry.  What I do
	see is a whimpering Carly crying on a man she tried everything
	to avoid.  She left Larry because he used a fake name, well
	what about the web of lies she's told?  I will admit, Jack
	and Jenn's story is stupid, but I prefer watching someone who
	(IMHSHO) has proved he has talent.  What Jack and Jenn need is
	an adventure.  Jack and Jenn work well with each other and rather
	than the 'errs split them up, let them work together.

	John and Marlena do show some promise.
