Opinions, and some character actor flames follow:


As for Nick, George Jansky. I loved the character, and this was due
to the actor. With folks like Staci and Crystal around who are the
main foucal point of the show, but who lack the acting skills to
give depth to a character, to go beyond the writing and breath
life and personality into a character, the character/actor was
such pleasure to watch. The character of Nick was only a reaccuring
role, a thug/pimp, but Jansky made the most of it, and the character
became a mainstream one. Nick was the pimp, the hood, yet, Jansky
brought out other elements of his character, bringing Nick out
of the category of the cardboard criminal. The character showed
sensitivity, and class. He was great with Charlotte Ross, Eve,
and with April. As has been mentioned the 30/40s fantasies were
great. He was a great fridge of society figure--not evil, but
just not tyical subria kind of guy--a fresh break from the DOOL
good guys, hell even Steve became settled, too much so. He neither
was the typical leading man, but he had beautiful brown expressive
eyes.

To the person who asked about the Codices: Lizard was behind the
theft. Awhile back there was a scene with him & Ivan, both 
examining the Codices. One mentioned that they set up the robbery,
and used the Romulus/Remus card as a means to frame John. Lizard
mentioned that this was his last chance to admired the codices,
for they had to get rid of them immediately.--so I guess he
either sold them, or destoryed them.

I do admitted that the scenes of Carly telling Bo about what happened
was not bad. But for me it was OVERLY done. I got sick of the time
it took her to come out with the whole thing, and I was turned off
after a time with all her moaning and sobbing; and the last scene
in the child's playground was TOOO MUCH--Can you say beating a Dead
Horse. I can't really see Bozo being too upset, but he should have
reacted differently. Especially since because of self-interest
she was unwilling to come out with the story--which should not be
that shocking or terrible for her--when the whole hospital was
in jeopardy. I would be angry that she was willing to scarifice
a hospital which serves the community, her fellow doctors, and
Tom & Alice who have treated her so well.

I agree with Sour Sis Lemon that Dani can't be Romulus. [A point
did anyone notice that the picture behind Cmdr. Rizzo (Risso)'s
desk was of the Forum Romanum in ruins??]  There is a little
thing about fingerprints. Even with a partial print couldn't
they tell by the placement and size which finger it came from,
and from this know if it were made by a man or a woman???

I don't think that Viv is Forrester's mom. I bet she got rid
of him--the true elder Alamain--toget closer to being the
sole heir. She is working on Lizard now. And she did away
with Carly's baby(ies). What if the Alamain family ties
themselves back to legendary Rome??? And hence the tie to Rom/Remus?
