And, I have been waiting for that.  Wait a delicious story--Bridgette
carrying a Thorpette--imagine if Rog takes her under his wing when the
Bauer's reject her--what a super pairing (not as a love interest)--think
about it for a minute--he can teach her a few tricks
 and she'd be a sponge for that type of know-how!  Even though many of
you on the net think that Dylan will be her saviour because of his guilt
or whatever over Daisy (he and Harley's daughter), I hope this doesn't
happen. Dylan needs some kind of storyline but this is not it.  Although
GL does have a history of this scenario--Girl steals man #1 from other
girl, other girl gets man #2 but man #2 goes with girl, leaving other
girl alone and tortured.  
Speaking of Julie here--she really has been sex crazed.  Every moment of
her life and breath has been driven by sex.  I think this is really
wierd.  This is fun for Bridgett and maybe some others but it feels very
uncomfortable for Julie. Those writers don't know what the heck to do
with her.  Well, let's stay tuned.  I am headed for the beach in 3 hours
and hope to catch all the GL fun there.  Judi

           So what is so wrong with DYLan (I believe that's the 
           proper spelling) and Julie being paired up together?
           It seemed the majority of viewers didn't like the
           gooey stuff going on between Hart and Julie.  Her
           virginity was their major stumbling block along with
           Mallett's overprotectiveness.  It's obvious GL thought 
           the character of Julie still had potential and being
           paired up with Dylan would be her best bet. I do too. 
           IMO Morgan Englund deserves a story and a love interest.
           I do agree that Julie's life so far has been driven
           by sex.  She was too hesitant to partake in it before
           and now she has no inhibitions whatsoever.  The change
           in her happened a little too fast but what other choice
           did the show have but to either continue in the same 
           vein or drasticly change her. She was innocent, pure, 
           and virginal and now she is sexy, spunky, and hopefully
           soon-to-be-independent.  I, for one, like the new and
           improved Julie.  I would prefer Dylan and Julie make
           love so GL can progress with their story.  I enjoyed
           Tues. show with Mallett, Harley, Dylan and Julie.
           They all worked well together.  I also thought Beth
           Ehler's did a wonderful job of showing her sorrow to
           Mallett about having to give up Daisy!  Wait till A.C.
           finds out Dylan was the baby's father.  I think this
           foursome has a wealth of story potential.  I'm willing
           to give it a chance.  Bridgett was not a popular
           character until she recently got pregnant and look
           at the storyline possibilities for her now.
