Sounds good to me, Sorella Spud.

Please, please not a haunted house...  SB just did that and really
crashed and burned with the "revelation."

NOT Jack dying yet again...  I just thought he was tired.  Although
"ecology" does seem to be a DOOL theme (at least with Carpy), I
cannot believe Bill would intentionally cover up something toxic.

I WISH Laura could be cured (but she's over at B&B, I doubt much
of anything could entice her back to DOCL).  But, I do agree.
It seems like it has something to do with Bill and Laura.  Didn't
Bill say he bought the house right before Laura went nuts?  I have
watched Days for years, I certainly do NOT remember this house.
I do remember when Laura tried to drop Jennifer from a window
and then sent her on a bus out of town. Could the house be connected
with Jennifer and Laura?  My only other thought would be that Bill
seems to be hiding something.  WHAT would Bill want to hide???  I
know this is horrible, since Bill and Laura were one of my all-time
favorites, but... could Bill have had some kind of affair in the house?

I agree.  That was an odd ending.  I almost thought they were going
to go into either a flashback or a fantasy.

I know.  Just what we need is another storyline to show how silly/
stupid/ineffectual our once powerful, intelligent, witty and
occasionally crazy Jack has become.

OK, Spud, I'm glad they stayed.  Now we can keep up that longtime
Giant (New York, then SF) and Dodger (Brooklyn, then LA) rivalry.
I just could not imagine a Tampa (nothing personal FL) Giants vs.
LA Dodgers rivalry.

Ciao bella!
