                 *************************************************************
                 Am I the only one who thinks Harley is a rotten cop?  Before
                 she left the cop shop she was told she took matters into her
                 own hands and so she was off the case.  What does she do?  She,
                 once again, goes off ALONE to get the bad guy.  How stupid.
                 She tries to fool a professional hitman and fails miserably.
                 It's bad enough Pierre has a hold of her and a gun on Alan-
                 Michael but when Mallet screams she manages to push Pierre
                 away and run towards Mallet.  With all her cop training I
                 would think IF she could have pushed Pierre she could have
                 also knocked the gun out of his hand and subdued him before
                 he hurt anyone else.  Letting Alan-Michael off without even
                 a slap on the wrist was absurd. The writing for this story
                 has been pretty lame.

                 I'm also disgusted with the writing for Ross, Blake, Holly, 
                 and Roger.  Ross and Blake's relationship has been ripped
                 asunder while Roger gets to enjoy his Jenna.  Holly's venomous 
                 lectures to anyone who will listen have grown tiresome.  The
                 viewers aren't allowed to see any side of her anymore but
                 this revengeful one.  If she doesn't want Ross anymore then
                 why does she continue with this bitter fascade?  I don't think
                 Liz Keifer is doing a bad job of playing Blake.  I don't think
                 GL has given her the same good material Sherry Stringfield got.
                 The confrontation between Blake and Roger about setting her up
                 should have been emotional and volatile.  It fell short and
                 I think that's because the writing just wasn't there.  I want
                 Ross to take charge more and not let Holly and Roger win by
                 continuous threats and intimidation.  Write Blake stronger as
                 she's been written much too weak lately.  Get Ross and Blake
                 back on track.  Give them romance and get Ross to utter the
                 "L" word.  With these two stories and Eleni being pregnant
                 and throwing Frank to the lions again I think the writing all
                 around has been disappointing.
