 can tolerate her either.   I do think Nadia should have kept her mother out of decorating her place since she didn’t plan to go with her plans and inviting her along with her "friend" the other paid decorator didn’t make sense.  Given this woman’s opinion of herself, how else would she react to a paid decorator especially when she is very "b-itchy" normally?  

Galen is obviously a big kid and is only half parent and half playmate.  I get the feeling that Jenna hasn’t learned much about what you have to do to get kids to behave.  The way the karate kid reacted after, ‘sorry’ tells me he may know some right from wrong but is pushing the limits because he can.

JP/Farah:  I just don’t see them lasting for the long haul without a lot of growing up and compromising.

Kelly: She seems very hyperactive to me.  Even with trying to gain weight, I didn’t feel she really wants to but thinks she’ll try to do it because people are saying she’s too thin while she’s also in constant "bounce" mode.

I guess Kirstin is off screen for a while?

 as that’s when I started watching. Tommy’s daughter sounds about right although I don’t remember ever seeing Tommy on the show.

 in parts the record went back to the civil war, they said. This year the leaves never really got as gorgeous as they have in the past.  We blamed it on the cold/watery summer.  In September, some of the plants that usually bloom in the spring got very confused and came out a second time.  Weird!   As we were getting soaked again with floods, I was saying it’s too  bad they couldn’t bring up some of those water tankers and haul some of our rain water down to Texas where they needed! 

 If he was also interested in Melanie, it still wouldn’t be blood but close.

 actually right near Salem.  We got the rain, a little snow, but a lot of wind!  The trees here aren’t happy since most haven’t dropped their leaves yet. Off to go clean the sidewalk and driveway and check around to see what has come down.  I’m glad I deon’t live in the western part of MA as they got up to 21+inches!  Talk about a nasty Trick or Treat!  I doubt they are happy in Salem either as this is their big money making time of year.

 Rafe/EJ.  I did think that Rafe looked more like Elvis than EJ.  Nicole did not look like the Priscilla that I remember – while the hair was the right color, it was way too short to be like Priscilla Presley.  I wasn’t very impressed with Sami’s costume – it made her look way too young.   I felt bad for Johnny’s twin as she was again leftout of the having a father there but I guess Austin was pretending to be her father for the night.  

if he has 2 personalities – one that is almost ghost like that can & will do anything for a thrill and the old John?  Marlena kissing him in public was really dumb too as that would immediately make me wonder if it was John.  Once it gets out that he left the apartment, it indicates that he could have left the hospital that he was supposed to be in.

It’s also funny how similar the new writers’ stories are to what happened in the Salem series that Sheri Anderson wrote.  There was a Bernie Madof type character there, a ‘stolen’ child, unknown family members, bail outs, etc.  Check it out if you can!
