Hmmmm...you know...as I watched the show yesterday, it occured to me
that I wouldn't mind Scarrie nearly as much if she were someone else.
Let me explain...no, no, please...let me.  :-)  I think if the 'errs
had presented some new teen who was say the daughter of some cousin
that had died or something and Marlena was named in the will as the
legal guardian, I'd be more ready to accept this obnoxious spoiled 
brat.  But, they didn't.  They tried to sell us on her being Carrie.
I'm sorry.  She's not Carrie.  People don't just go away for a year
and come back totally different.  Yeah, lots of things change about
people (especially teenagers) over the course of a year, but the 
change that happened with Scarrie is just toooooooo unbelieveable.

Well...that was my thought for the day yesterday...'hope you enjoyed.

:-)

See...here's the thing...a kid raised by Roman, Marlena, and John just
would not behave the way Scarrie does.  If she'd been raised elsewhere,
I might buy it and I could understand why Marlena has a hard time with
her -- not wanting to put her out or anything because her parents have
recently died.  It would be a lot more palatable for me.

You may rant about anything anytime!  :-)
