I suspect that this is the beginning of a new storyline.  She's been busy all
her life and WonderBread wants her to sit around all day with lily white hands.
He's probably sees her only in terms of their relationship.  Sort of like a 
robot that he can click on when he gets home.  And I think she may be beginning
to see that $$$$ do not equal happiness.

I was quite pleased when she talked about waiting to start a family.  Of course,
now WB is probably going to "forget" to remind her to take her birth control 
pills, so that he can knock up his sweet wife.

Watching the original Alan and Alexandra while I was flipping channels was what
got me hooked.

I used to like Fletcher, but all he and Vanessa do for me is put me to sleep,
and his treatment of Alex just pisses me off.

Mimbo (love that nickname) has completely justified my perception of her.  The
woman is a pathetic, self-righteous, hypocritical tramp.

We can only hope.

Again, let us all pray.
