Hi Kelly.  I'm way behind too so some of these comments may seem a little
"old".  I just watched Friday's show last night and I won't be seeing 
Mon-Wed due to the work of a soon-to-be-deceased family member!  Argh.

Gee, thanks Kelly.  I had fun doing it, actually.  Since I update 
regularly over on Knots Landing I'd rather not get into it here, but
I will substitute if need be.  And thanks to Cindy, Linda and Ruth
for their prompt updates this week for the shows I missed!

I totally agree on this!  I think Carrie and Tim are very cute together
and I do detect chemistry between them.  Their kisses have been pretty
romantic, I think.  And I'm impressed that Tim is standing up for himself
and refusing to be an "object" in Carrie's little games.  Nice going.
Carrie acts so much more real and mature when with Tim.  With Austin she
just falls all over herself and looks like a fool.  Now if Tim could just
lose the sideburns!


re:  Austin
>gross.  Has he said one line without screwing it up somehow?

I've noticed this too.  He is always stumbling all over his lines.  I
guess we're not supposed to care about what he says, huh?

I dislike Billie more than Austin.  That dress she was wearing on Friday
was autrocious!  And I don't find her attractive at all.  I don't even
find her average.  It's fine to have below average looking people on the
show, but I hate that they are playing her off as some "hot item".  Bleah.
And whoever called it about her looking like Carly was right on the mark!
I noticed it last night for the first time.  She truly *does* resemble
the Carlicious one.  Just what we need, sigh.

This is a good point.  I did hate Isabella from the get-go because
of the time I started watching...   ie  when Marlena had just returned.
Even when the conflict with Marlena had passed I found reasons daily to
hate her character.  And no, I have not forgotten how pathetic she was 
and I am certainly not sorry to see her go.  I'm thrilled that we will
finally be rid of her.  But [you knew it was coming], I have been able
to look at the past month of the cancer storyline in and of itself.  And
I am impressed with how the whole thing has been done.  So I guess I'm
getting to have my cake and eat it too, in a way.  She's leaving and I
am actually enjoying the way it is being done.

I agree that John is better with anyone but Isabella, but he still is
pretty bad IMO.  I did like his stuff with Danielle a lot, but that was
more her.  I really don't look forward to his mourning.

Well, I think Bo was wrong about that whole thing.  Sure it was dumb that
Carly suddenly had to get up and go find Lawrence to tell him the truth.
You ask "Why didn't this bother her for the past 8 years?"  I figure that
she was able to keep it repressed for so long because no one knew there was
a secret to know.  Now that Lawrence knew a secret existed she felt the
need to come clean, once and for all.  And the threat of Lisanne finding 
out more stuff and telling Lawrence has been looming over her head.  I 
*loved* Carly and Lawrence's stuff together but I thought the Bo/Carly
stuff was very dumb.  It seems to me that Bo has put up with a lot worse
and his picking this thing to get mad about was very contrived.  I hate 
Bo.  ON Friday's show I wanted to scream when he jumped in on Carly and
Lawrence's fight and said to Larry "I'm going to break your face."  What
an ass!

Have to go....
