Two great shows in a row?  What's going on here?

Well, if yesterday wasn't an emotional roller-coaster, I don't know what
is.  The scenes with Isabella and Carly, and then later John, were very
good.  I don't know where this came from and I really didn't think Staci
or Crystal had it in them.  I almost believe that maybe Mary Beth Evans
was wearing an Izzy mask and Deborah Moore was wearing a Carly mask.  :-)
They were good and I just have to wonder why they can't do this kind of
acting more consistently.  Sigh.  Anyway, the scene when Carly told 
Isabella had me in tears.  It was just horrible [that's a compliment.]
I felt it was very well done and intense, and I was *really* into it.
I've been known to cry at sad movies, but I really can't remember the
last time Days has drawn a tear from me.  Somehow this really got to
me and I can only wonder what kind of shape I would have been in if 
someone I liked, or was ambivalent to, was the one with cancer.  And it
stayed with me afterwards too, while I was cooking dinner.  I just felt
like it was so real.  I guess I'm saying that for me, they did a wonder-
ful job with this whole thing.  They did what they were supposed to do.

I lost it again when Isabella told John.  I don't think it matters how
much you hate the character, all I could think about was my wife saying
those words to me.  And again, it was done very well.  I'll agree with
Ann that John was pretty flat.  I understand that he is still in denial,
but I did expect more out of him.  He is a pretty emotional guy and not
the type to hold it all in and try to mask his feelings.  Anyway, that's
how I've always thought the character was written.  I was more disappointed
with Bo.  No surprise there.  He was better than Bo is typically, but still
the worst of the bunch.  I really didn't like the scenes with Bo and Carly.
They didn't feel real at all.   I look forward to Victor finding out.  I
bet this brings Bo and Vic together.

Enough about my sobbing.


Lawrence and Lisanne were fantastic.  I agree with what Marie said-- it
was so refreshing to see things happen at a quick pace.  Sabatino did
some wonderful acting as a man enraged, and bewildered, and Lynn Herring
was INCREDIBLE again.  Her fear and uneasiness really showed through.
She must feel like a louse.  Can't wait to see Larry get his hands on 
Carly and Vivian.  Oh my,  I'm looking forward to Carly being on my
TV screen.  What is happening to me?????/   :-)


I thought the Kim stuff was a little better than it has been, but it 
was unsettling the way it was inserted between the heavy-duty Isabella
stuff.  That aside, I did like her scene that closed Tuesday's show
when she lit up on Shane's couch and called him a "sucker".  And the
distress that was shown yesterday was pretty interesting.  They're 
starting to make this a little eerie, which I think is a good way to
go.  But still, I'm not at all impressed for the most part.  I'm just
saying that it has gone from horrible to watchable.  IMO.


Ok, I'm done.  see ya.
