1) let's see some more scenes with victor.  Wed's episode with viv, vic,
and julie showed some good soap acting.  i missed half of it due to
circumstances beyond my control, but what i saw was good!  the three of
them, in my opinion, are some of the best actor/actresses on the show. 
except for viv, they get very few scenes and NO major storylines.  i'm
starting the  "bitching."  more victor, more vivian, more julie!!!!!

2) i don't want to start on izzy but i have to ask this question.  when
john was going over what he had bought for all those back in salem,
isabella said something like "don't you think you are over-doing it." 
then john presents  her with that gold bracelet and she is soooooo
happy.  then on tues? john gave her another gift, a ring, and again she
accepts and is very happy.  however, when john wants to call home with
something that doesn't have to do with izzy, she got mad.  now, i'm not
one to shy away from gifts and i can understand isabella wants to be
with john while they are on their honeymoon, but doesn't it seem she is
very selfish?  these are only two recent examples and i am sure there
are countless other.  to me, it just seems that isabella, is always "me,
me, me..."  this isn't an attack, everyone knows izzy is horrible and it
is hardly worth my time and energy to bust on her, but i just wanted to
know if anyone else sees this in her.

3) watching the molly/tanner scenes just doesn't have the same fire
anymore.  they are a "lame-duck" couple.  please, tell me it was all a
joke, tell me you all were just trying to play a prank on the new
posters.  also, help me out, ~~~~"ginger get a job with a large paper in
another city.  since brian doesn't have anything to do, he is able to go
along with her.  ~~~~ tanner doesn't have too many ties (except molly)
that would cause him to have to stay in salem. -- he is easy to get rid
of. --  however, molly is in the "honors nursing" or "nursing honors"
(they have been saying both on the show, but i still love the phrase)
"program."  this has been her dream.   she even put up with the dp's
'moves' and all in hopes of getting in.  will she just give up on that? 
fade away?  be killed off (i doubt this)?

4) what has happened to the bo i knew and loved?  as marc has posted and
i out of professional courtesy, would like to direct you all to, bo is
such a wimp now.  remember the scene peter reckell was fighting rafi's
men while staying on the phone -- leaving the message with car.---  now,
bo could hardly take carly in a street fight.

5) marc and i were watching tv and we came upon an old "walton's"
episode.  not being ones to miss good family entertainment, we started
to watch it.  "my, my, look who we have here," VERN was on walton's
mountain (in town actually).  he still had that same haircut and those
sideburns but ~20 years younger.  see, i told you all he had talent,
some of those scenes when he was pitted against johnboy were simply
drama at its best.  

p.s. the vern bandwagon is not collecting tickets.
