Well folks, it looks like it's time to send him some mail.  Obviously he
doesn't have access to the net. :-)

It looks like he's gonna have to pull quite a few all-nighters in order to
get it right :-)  Is that possible?  I wonder.

Chemistry?  What Chemistry?

Barf, Barf, Barf!  Honest reaction?  Try unbelievable acting and/or training!

Maybe someone should get net access for RRK :-)   Any volunteers?

The question is *will* he ever find the character?

Huh?  Did he say *support* and *love* for Carly?  Did he actually say that?

Maybe, just maybe, if RRK gets away from Carly his acting may improve.  After
all, we see this happening with Drake.  Maybe he has an insight on RRK.  Just
a thought.

Crystal Chappell (The Fiancee), Carly

I deleted all of this because I really don't care *what* she has to say.

No, please not another major story line for Carly and Bo.  Please, please,
pretty please.......

I guess this is the writers at work again, trying to give us another
unbelievable story line and expecting us to swallow it.

 WOW!!!!!!  WAY TO GO MICHAEL!!!!!!

I agree wholeheartedly!

In watching yesterdays show, I kept thinking....is she going to give Viv
competition for the villianess role on this show?  Everything sure seemed to
lead in that direction.

>connection between Carly and Lawrence.  "Lisanne starts having these

I bet she finds out soon enough though....yesterday she mentioned that someone
knew about the past and that someone would tell her.  (Gee, do you think she
meant Viv? Is there anyone else who knows?)

>The game plan Lisanne devises to uncover Lawrence's past is to spend as

Sounds like mega bedroom scenes to me.  Come on, get a life!

>for Lisanne if she stayed obsessed with him.  If she fell completely in
>love with him, then she'd have to try to get him away from Carly."

Oh Gawd, not another story line for Carly.  I'm already so tired of her.

>"I'd like to see Lisanne and Lawrence get caught up in each other

Finally, a half decent story line.  Lawrence, Lisanne, and Nikki.  Now only if
they managed to stay out of bed once in awhile.
