	Guavita,  you have definently spoken for me.  Ever since they
	brought Carly on that is how they have introduced characters.  Sign
	someone to play a love interest for ?? / create havoc for ??.  

	They even change history to fit there needs.  How are we, the
	viewing public, supposed to identify with a character when we don't
	know who that character is because of the constant changes?

	Again!! WHAMMO!!  I didn't really find the pool table scene
	offensive.  I just fastforwarded through it and didn't watch it.
	Bo and Carly are portraying raw sex all the time.  I don't see
	their love for each other.  And before they can portray romance,
	they have to show us love.  

	I believe Tim brought up "One Stormy Night".  You are right,  it
	was in a public place.  And it didn't make alot of sense.  The
	electrical storm had knocked out the power so the doors could not
	open.  But they were able to play the electronical game of "Ask Dr.
	Love".  Ya,  I questioned it at the time.  But I accepted it cause
	of the romance!  And because I wanted them to end up in the bed.

	How many people wanted Carly and Bo to end up on the pool table??

	Now,  I don't particulary like Carly.  I just try to avoid watching
	alot of her scenes.  Usually I fast forward through the Bo & Carly
	scenes,  but watch her if Jenn, Lawrence, Nikki, or Viviane are in
	the scene with her.  Actually, anyone else other than Bo.  And I
	usually watch Bo's scenes if she is not in them as well.

	I think the main reason we are jumping on Carly is what Guavita
	said!!  Plus for me, it's like,  I am not rooting for them,  so I
	don't care where they end up.  Comparing J&J in the pool room
	scene.  Sure,  I would probably be cheering if J&J did it on the
	pool table.  But I know it wouldn't happen in the same way as B&C.
	J&J have romance (but no sex).  :)  So it wouldn't be WHAM BAM
	THERE YOU GO.  Almost everything you see of J&J in bed is the after
	scenes.  B&C show you the "during" scenes almost.

	Well,  this one has to get to work. :(  Talk later.
