            This was a GREAT story and Jake and Donna's pairing was
            more than a one night stand.  Anna Stuart was thrilled
            with this storyline and even in her most recent Soap
            Opera Update interview she is upset that AW axed the
            relationship between Jake and Donna before it was ever
            given a chance.  She also feels she hasn't been given
            a decent story since.  How true.  When Donna was Jake's
            partner in the video business her character was allowed
            to be her own person in every aspect of her life.  She
            helped run the video business from A to Z.  She even
            took care of the bookkeeping which makes her money
            problems now so out of character.  Donna showed more
            intelligence and was stronger emotionally. Stuart and
            Eplin were great at comedy.  Jake and Donna helped each
            other get over Michael and Marley.  They became good
            friends before they became lovers.  Marley and Jake were
            divorced and the day Donna was served with divorce papers
            was the day Donna and Jake made love.  Stuart said that
            Donna really cared about Jake and when the affair ended
            she hoped AW would continue to keep Donna and Jake friends.
            Unfortunately the story was cut short and Donna was made
            to immediately dislike Jake.  As you can tell by my
            rantings I really liked this story.  Since Jake managed
            to turn Donna's life around imagine what he could do for
            Rachel.  Couldn't you just see a scene where Jake and
            Rachel are stuck in a room in close quarters for a few
            seconds where sexual tension usually develops?  Jake would 
            leave wearing that cocky grin assured he upset Rachel knowing 
            how much she dislikes him but to Rachel's astonishment she 
            felt a bit of attraction towards Jake and it scared her.  
            I know, it'll never happen but I think it would be a hoot!
            Rachel doesn't have much of a story or dialogue without
            Jake around these days.  If uptight Rachel would loosen
            up, especially with Jake, she could once again be fun!
