         I thought it was nice that Carly said that Jack was a
         good daddy and Jennnifer told Carly how cute Jack was
         with the baby.  I got the feeling Crystal loves children
         just by the way she rubbed Abbey's cheek.  Jack did act
         a bit annoyed at Carly's sudden appearance.               

         This episode was obviously the one where Missy refused to
         come into work until the scene with Jen and Lawrence was
         rewritten!  

         I wouldn't have minded Carly coming over to the Deveraux's
         if Lawrence was allowed to run into Jack.  What formidable
         foes they would be.  The viewers could enjoy some intense 
         drama and real acting for a change.  This foursome has the
         potential to be so interesting.  Like I said before J&J
         never overlap into Carly's story.  It's always the other way
         around.  Carly intrudes into J&J's episodes.  I still marvel
         at how one can get bored with a J&J story. It's not like
         they're allowed long soliloquys.  One doesn't even have time
         to emit a heavy sigh through them which is what I end up     
         doing to relieve tedium.  The only characters on DAYS with 
         less scenes are Tom and Alice.  FFwarding through theirs should 
         be an automatic crime.  I'd say at least a misdemeanor.  :-)  

         I must add how much I enjoyed the scenes of Jack and Jo
         yesterday.  Jack using a guilt trip to get Jo to pose as
         Miranda Miller and then coaching her while she's on the
         phone with the publisher!  They worked so well together!
         I loved Jo's excitement and how she kept poking him plus 
         Jack having to use a bit of physical restraint to calm 
         her down.  Joy Garrett finally got something comical and fun
         to do with Matt.  I'd love to see them like this more often.
