You'll have to get your flames from somewhere else.  I agree with you for the 
most part.

Can't say as I really *like* the story, and I do think it's stupid that Carly 
didn't just tell Bo ... especially if she was going to go through with 
marrying him.

Those statements may be true but they they seem irrelevant to me.

This I agree with absolutely.  I just want to scream every time he twists 
things around so that Carly goes along with him again.  Why doesn't she see 
through him?  She knows he's manipulative yet she lets him manipulate her.

I guess that's believable up to a point.  I should think she should trust Bo 
over Lawrence though.

I didn't find this to be a problem either.  That's where Carly was so that's 
where Jenn went.  She was cold toward Lawrence as you'd expect and went 
straight to Carly to confort her.

Yes, yes, yes!  I can hardly stand to watch that story and it always seems to
show up on Thursday (my update day)!

TAN:  I saw Melissa (Jennifer), Scott and baby Emily Reeves on Saturday.  My 
husband wanted to know if I was brave enough to take a picture.  Of course, I 
wasn't.  I wasn't even brave enough to go over to them.  Really, it didn't 
seem like I should rush over to them in a restaurant ... and I didn't.  Cute 
couple ... cute baby!  [BTW, my husband thought he'd recognized "Jennifer" 
once before in this same restaurant, but he didn't bother to mention it until 
after she'd left!]

>OK - there it is - flame away.  :)

Well, I wasn't in total agreement, but I don't think I was flaming.  :)
