Well, they are not rotten ideas, unfortunately I do not agree with
them. But anyway it is nice to see a new name posting. Remember
we are all very nice, and yet opinionated. Many of us have met
and corresponded regularly. Get to know us, and do not be disswayed
just because I or others may disagree. I hope I am not coming off
as a flamer, I just love to post, I have strong and of course
correct opinions (a smiley would be there but they are against
my nature--smilely faces are for wimps, that my creedo). So here goes.

Well, sorry, but I feel that it would completely ruin his character
for him to be reformed. It would take too much time also--it took Jack
3 years and he still has problems and he never did the horrible things
that Lizard did. Sabatino does not want his character redemned either.
And as for Carly well I don't like the actress and thus I don't
want her teamed up with Sabatino. But if it turned out that she was
buffaloing everyone and that she was actually one evil doc, then I think
I might want them together. I love Viv, if she is made good, too good that
is, it would, like Lizard, ruin what makes her enjoyable. Victor, is
good as a semi-shady business man yet one who does love his family,
faulted yet not really evil--a complex soul. I have a problem with
perfect people. To me I do not care if a person is good or evil,
it is a soap afterall. But being a soap what matters is if the character
is well acted, and if there is a well written story. Thus, making everyone
good will not endear me to a character, but if that character has an
interesting storyline and is well acted, I do not care if he/she is
amoral/immoral/moral. Though I do like a character who has some depth,
who is not one deminsional, but has elements of good and bad--in varying
degrees of goodness/badness vice a versa.

Well I think you get part of your wish. I think he is a bad dude. But sorry
the character is far more interesting than Shane. And Kim should move on
to a new love, a new life. I rather like this actor, and think that he
is rather attractive, and could have potential. Cap'n Earle Grey just is
dullsville lately. He and Kim have no chemistry, and Shane no longer has
anything interesting to offer the show. Charles Shaughnessy can do better
by starting fresh somewhere else. Unfortunately his character was brought
down by his rediculous relationship with Kay. And it appears that Shaughnessy
is in fact leaving the show. So your wish seems a no go. But it appears that
Philip is going to be behind some nefarious activities.

>3) I would have Marlena leave Romain, and by some wierd twist of fate, have

Well, I would rather Lisanne team up with Lizard, or better yet with John.
This could be interesting if Lisanne decides to turn the tables on Viv
and Lizard and help John out of spite. I have hoped that the writers would
bring up her past, and deal with her father who was supposedly confined
to a wheel chair because of hospital/doctor negligence, I think it could
be interesting if they tied this back into the story. Maybe by having
him work for one of Lizard's many corporations, and Lisanne's attention
to Lizard is so as to get the goods on him, and then she will turn them
around and help John. And then maybe they can grow together. She seems
more Johns type than Ickmesickeverytimesheison.

Nay, Ickie's death would not turn John evil, but being tied down to her
would have. This is a net taboo here, watch out or my more devoted Drake/John
sisters may take revenge on you for this statement. John is a character whom
I cannot visualize as being evil, it would not work in my opinion. If he were
made bad, and Lizard good, then two characters would be wrecked and then the
show would stink even more than it does now.

Actually I would rather have Butthead attempt and succeed in killing Carlips,
okay maybe not succeed but make her go bonkers. I would hope that then it
would be revealled that Rafi Torres sold the real Bo to Lizard, who is
holding him along with Hope and Steve.


Damn, and off course Nick (not the kid Nikki) is in the Kalihari with
Evie, after Mighty Mouse was eaten as an appetizer by some of the natives.

Well let me add

6) I think that Viv is Lizard's grandmother. And that Stefano [note folks
there is no "ph" in his name but a "f"--that is the Italian spelling] is
Lizard's father. And that we will see the return of Joseph Mascolo as
Stefano for the that Stupido di Merda was a impostor. I hope that it
is revealled taht Ickula died in the end not from her disease but was
murdered.

7) J&J go back to investigative reporting. That they actually work, and
that along with everyone else that they are apart of a big umbrella 
storyline.

8) I wish that Julie eventually gets back with Vic, after it is
revealled that Viv had an affair with Stefano, producing Lizard.

9) I would like to see Kay return; and for Jack and Marcus to
secretly find and hide, and protect a not dead Steve.

10) I would love for Desiree to show up and that Julie would give her
the singing job at Wings. For Asstin the Mentalist Pianoist was wasted
for his part in the gambling ring--I would like a nice grizzly death.

11) More later
