Ahhhh...that clears up lots of stuff.  :-)

I'm not real clear on the Marina stuff.  It wasn't your standard 
mystery in that Kayla was tried and convicted (nobody believed it of 
course) and then Isabella rememebered that she'd done in Marina.  As 
for Emilio and Nick...both mysteries were dragged out forever and 
then suddenly TPTB decided Jo was the culprit in Nick's murder 
(temprary insanity or something -- that's why she was in Bayview) and 
just as suddenly, Melissa had killed Emilio by accident (no time 
served -- but it did break up the romance between Brian and Melissa).

Well, they were better than these folks but it's all been tied up, 
Tim...it would be very hard to figure out a scenario where they could
be romantically involved again.  They were both using each other,
basically, and they both know it and don't trust each other anymore.
Or, at least, that's how it seems to me.

Roger was pretty good.  It's hard to believe this is the same actor
that originated the role!  :-)  He was soooooo bad in the hospital
when Dean died.  Oh, well.
