as lovers, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!  I also see more of a big brother/little sister vibe with them.  MB is as cute as can be (although that may just be in my eyes), but she acts like a child or a giddy teenager at times, and then there are times when she acts her age and is very sensible, like when she went to visit Gabi.  I realize Mel is questioning her feelings for Brady and that’s why she’s trying to keep her distance, but the way the actress portrays the character makes the pairing with Brady unbelievable for me, because she appears much too young for him. Then, age really never makes a difference … especially on DAYS!!!

but I’m hoping it has nothing to do with Eric.  I like them together, a lot!  She is an experienced journalist, medical or otherwise, so who knows.  I think Nicole’s reaching for anything she can muster up on her in a desperate, pathetic attempt to clear herself a path of forgiveness by Eric, and personally I don’t think she’ll get that from him.  I wish they would write her a storyline with Rafe.  They work well together and certainly compliment one another in the looks department as well.  Her and Daniel just don’t cut it with me.  Dan is still as hung up on Jen as Nicole is on Eric, so I don’t know who they both think they’re fooling.

 Camila, like many other soap stars, made a huge mistake by deciding to quit last year.  She has been quoted in articles with the likes of others who departed this genre with words like "looking forward to what’s to come," but I have not seen her in anything to speak of.  Maybe she’s having second thoughts, because if the show ‘fired’ her, I wouldn’t see them asking her back, especially for 2 episodes;

I’m hoping they give Galen a decent storyline, because I do like Rafe.  He’s really a good guy, and this show needs some more of his kind these days.  Clyde, Chad, Stefano, the list keeps growing.  We need more Rafe’s to balance the good with the bad;

These writers have ruined Chrishell by turning Jordan into a complete idiot, blinded by what she believes is love with a dog like Chad DiMera.  She’s going to be getting a rude awakening, and don’t you dare take up for her Rafe.  She made her bed with Chad, or so the saying goes.  But then, so did you with Kate!  LOL!!

As for Abbey and Ben — now that Ben has his own apartment, it would ne nice to see something happinging in it that didn’t have to include him and Abbey in bed….what seems like ‘all the time!’  Sorry, I still see no chemistry with these two.  But she sure wasn’t thinking about Chad when she said "the DiMeras use people for their own needs," but let’s be truthful here, Abigail; if you had your way you would still be in that shower with E.J.

Whoops, this was meant to go under justwondering’s post!

 but, as you and I well know, now it all goes back to zero, but the Ravens need to get started earlier.  These fourth quarter wins are causing me to lose my fingernails.  LOL!  I love that we’re playing the Steelers….so apropo for our greatest rival ever.  Just wish it was in M&T Bank Stadium rather than Heinz Field.  Oh well, may the best team win.  The Bills are no doubt THE spectacular team of the future.  They had something to prove this season, and they certainly pulled it off.  I have a feeling you’re going to be very happy with them next year.  Meanwhile, I’ll be rooting like crazy for the Ravens on Saturday.  Thanks casey, and Happy New Year!  

 and it breaks my heart that she’s written so damn pathetic.  If she thinks Melanie won’t out her, she’s sorely mistaken.  I personally like Serena so unless she proves to be hiding some horrible secret that will hurt Eric, which I don’t believe she does, Nicole might as well pack those bags and head out of Salem, because she’s definitely reached the bottom of the barrel.  She’s not only going to lose Eric, whose feelings for Serena seem to be resurfacing, but her new-found friendship with Daniel as well as Jennifer is about to be destroyed as well.  If that’s the case, let her conscience be her guide.  And she wonders why she doesn’t have any friends and always winds up alone.

temporarily returning for a visit with Ari, Will and Sonny.  Unfortunately, I think it’s only yesterday and perhaps a little bit today, and then that’s it so I can’t understand why they even did it.  Was there a specific reason she was brought back to have a visit with her daughter from jail?  For whatever reason, I would rather keep Gabi and say goodbye to Will Horton.  What a disappointment they’ve turned him into, but I guess he and Sonny are going to have to go through the angst every pair on DOOL seems to be experiencing.

 that she wants to return at some point, probably for the 50th anniversary of DOOL; James, however, seems to have no intention of returning.  He’s tweeting about his adventures a lot lately, and seems perfectly content with his decision to leave, so unless they try a recast, I don’t think we will be seeing E.J. DiMera anytime soon, unless they come up with some storyline that jives with why we never found out what Kristen injected into his body, or some other reason such as Stefano has found one of his mad doctors to bring him back to life, but keep him comotose until he is ready to bring him back.  I don’t believe for a minute that Stefano thinks that much of Chad; E.J. is and always will be his No. 1 son.  Maybe we’ll get some mention of him when Kristen returns.

 for Eve.  I wish J.J. would just out that skank and let the chips fall where they may!
