"i've been enjoying the show recently, esp. some of the scenes of happiness and tradition. i loved watching the characters pick out their trees for christmas with kay and murphy at the helm raising money for a charity. the happiness between some of the couples and families may be fleeting and a few undeserved but those moments of joy are a nice diversion from all the past tragedies and reason for hope. i absolutely loved ashley and neil together...they make a beautiful couple and they've always got along so well with mutual respect. ashley is doing so well lately...she'll need her strength more than ever when the truth is revealed."

"I disagree with you. Dru did a lot for the show adding a bit of "flava" to the role. She reacted to situations like a typical black woman would. She showed strength , courage and a hell of a lot of spunk. She also was likable, something Phyllis is NOT! It would be nice to see Neil and Dru back together again, this time supporting their daughter through this difficult ime and rejoicing with her through the happy baby times. I think they should bring her back (Victoria Rowell) always played this part best! The writers tried with Eva The Diva Pickford, but her character wasn't as strong as Victoria's(Dru) and no other woman except for Jill Abbott is strong enough to kick Phyllis' rump than Dru!"

"I'm pretty sure that was Another World, wasn't it Patty?
I might be wrong."

"They seem to put her in strange bits of wardrobe. Are "arm warmers" (or whatever they're called) in style again? Or is this just some stylist's idea of what "Darfur girl" should look like? I expect to see her in stonewashed tapered high rise pleated jeans, a la 1975 Salvation Army Thrift Store. And then all of a sudden she'll wear a fairly elegant creation. Maybe they don't like to give her wardrobe that's too costly in case she eats it..."

"Yeah the argument between Nick and Phylis was ridiculous. Esp Nick being all upset that Phylis didn't include him in on the scam. Who friggin cares?? It's not like this withholding damaged (or involved) their relationship in any way. Besides, Nick was too busy worrying about his ex to really care about what was going on with Phylis and her son. I really can't stand Nick. I wish Phylis would dump him. He's not worth the effort. I'm glad she at least had the guts enough to not say she's sorry and all this other bull, and actually called him out for the hypocrite he is."

"I got around to watching Friday's episode and i am glad Phyllis used this to put Deacon away Good for her but like mentioned before is "sympathy play for Little D" come on now Deacon mentioned Little D to Amber back when he was gonna marry Amber in the hotel room there and that did not work so why now? doesnt make sense"
