>1.  Angelique

Hmm.  Not Jack (since I want him to get back to Erica!!). 
 Let's be bizarre!  How about Tad?

>2.  Brooke

I think Brooke should be the token "independent" working
 woman for a while.
I haven't liked most of her relationships (BOOOO-ring!),
 except maybe with Tad.

>3.  Dixie

Well, I *like* Brian and Dixie!  Let's see them MARRIED!  With LOTS of 
Goobers and Dixie-ettes!  Let's change the show to All THEIR Children!

>4.  An-Li

I wish she'd get more of a storyline.  So few Asian characters
on soaps.  I know - let's mess with Hayley some more and pair her
with Charlie!

>5.  Erica

Jack, Jack, and only Jack - I LOVE the French Maid outfit!  Bring it back!
Although, Adam might be fun every once in a while (this IS Erica, after
all - she NEEDS more than one man!).

>6.  Hayley

Why not Hayley and Terrence?  Sometimes he seems like the only really
stable teen on the show - Hayley could use some stability.

>7.  Livia

I want Tom and Livia to work.  For the nicest, most Catholic guy
on the show, he's had WAY too many wrecked marriages.

>8.  Taylor

She needs to fall for a grunge-meister.  Some chopper-riding,
unwashed, greasy, spitting, no-neck barbarian.  Maybe Billy Clyde
or Ray Gardner could have some teenaged son no one knows about.
Barring that, maybe bring back Trask.

>9.  Natalie

Well, I guess she and Trevor are okay for now.  A LOT of their
spark has gone with her blindness (and her total body makeover!).
It might be fun to have her fall for a rehabilitated Carter...

>10  Galen

Well, if her and Young Doctor Wonderful ever got any time to
do something other than fret about Carter, they might have some
potential.

>11  Myrtle

Palmer!!  Palmer cheats on Opal with Myrtle!!  It'll be great!!
Uhm, how 'bout Tad!!  Yeah, Myrtle is jealous because EVERY OTHER
FEMALE IN PINE VALLEY has slept with him!  She wants her shot at it!

>12  Phoebe

TAD!  Phoebe, jealous that Myrtle got him, wants him as well!!!

>13  Ruth

TAD!  Ruth, jealous that Phoebe and Myrtle got him... whoops!
That would be too far over the edge!  Let's just keep her with Joe.

>14  Gloria

I think she may end up having her shot at Tad.  That could be intense.
But, maybe after Erica goes back to Jack (if I say it enough times, it
will happen!), she and Dmitri could be interesting.

>15  Mimi

I agree with the last few posts - Mimi and Lucas would make a great
couple - in my eyes, it could be the only way to redeem the character.
Either find Lucas a woman, or write him outta the show.

>16  Helga

Well, let's see, All My Kids has really been pushing the "robbing
the cradle" type storylines, so - TIMMY!  He's probably into
puberty right now.  Helga: "Come, Timmy, let us make byootiful
music together."  Timmy: "Can I bring Harold along, too?"

Your welcome!
Thanks for the chance to speculate!
