	I can go along with this, but what I hate about all this is that
we have another major storyline based on a past storyline that was botched
horribly.  I still remember the way they drew out everything, and then the
way they conveniently threw out the fact that Robert was most likely the
father.  They turned Cheryl, a character I always kind of liked, into a
deluded weirdo, and now they're conveniently ignoring that and showing
a will in which she rationally and calmly leaves her child to the woman
she wanted dead not long ago.  Yes it's the most logical choice, but I
wish it had been sensibly handled from the beginning.

	Not to sound stupid, but thumbs up for what?  That was the worst
acting I've seen in ages, IMHO.  Unreal is right.  I didn't think the
human face could contort like that without staying that way permanently :-)

	[If you were complimenting her on the overacting, ignore that.
         I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic or not :-)]

	Anti-climactic is an understatement.  Actually, what really surprised
me is that it was exactly what I suspected, which is nothing.
I'm sure they'll come up with some reason to make this seem like a big deal,
but unless it was the senator himself who knocked her up (I think someone
mentioned the possibility earlier), I still see nothing for Ned to get upset
about.

	I did love Tracy's look though.  She seemed so anticipatory.
What did she expect?  "Ohmygod!  It's the father of the child I miscarried!"
