Aside from that (I happen to think that Patrick Muldoon is gorgeous), 
do get my point?

I never blamed the show for that.  I just said that it bothered me.

No, I think she went from bad to pretty good.  

>Who has been worse?  Who?  I can't think of anyone.  I liked Hawk and

Emilio, April, and Pete for starters.  Pete was okay sometimes but
April and Emilio sucked all the time.  I'd rather watch Billie and
Austin than April and Emilio anyday. And Mike Horton and April Ramirez
was just as revolting to me as Carrie and Austin is to you.  

Oh yeah - what about Tess Jannings -
"Chris, you don't know anything about the real world - my world!"  

I'm sure there are plenty more, when I think of them, I'll let you know.

Not much.

Emilio wrote the book on horribleness.  He disgusted me at every turn.
I still haven't decided if I like RKK's Bo yet.  I loved him when he
was Sam on Another World.

Thats no what they did.  There were one set of writers for Christie,
then she left and Carrie left too.  Then when Tracy came back as
Carrie, they changed the character, and when Christie took over again,
the writers continued writing her in the new way.  Which is why
I said that Christie probably doesn't recognize this Carrie.

Although, ever since Carrie got involved with Austin, she has matured
a lot.  She has become more compassionate and less of a brat.

I think she was good then also, and I think she kept it up after that.
