Does Carly know that Lawrence raped Jennifer? And how do we know that 
it really was Lawrence -- maybe it was his even more evil twin brother
who showed up briefly? If Carly does not know all the facts it might be
interesting to have her start to fall back in love with Lawrence and
then discover the truth about him (or his evil twin). Obviously Lawrence
doesnt have an evil twin -- unless the writers want to redeem (ruin?) him.

Also give her some decent lines and believable occupation. I still cant
get over her being an expert in so many fields.

IMHO i think Carly can act allright... I just dont think the 
writers/producers are giving her a believable story line.

It would be fun to see what would happen if DROOL writers could be 
convinced to read the net... Maybe they would get a some interesting
ideas...

Wish someone had caught Lissane in the act of stealing Carly's letters...
