him but being stupid enough not to scrap Al's death (and he had time to do it). And if they are hoping a romance with Natalie and John or Marcie taking up with Al/Michael will help, they're just plain dumb. I'll give them this; they're better than Flash, but still. There is simply not enough time to go through all that is wrong with this show, where it is going wrong, which characters are just pointless, which characters have lost their way. Especially if we are going to talk about the "unprecedented" event this week...
If we are going to talk about this "event" we have to talk about the destruct, er, evolution of Kelly. When Kelly first showed up many moons ago, she was a relatively free spirit, full of spunk and she seemed like a Cramer woman.

I mean, when women are usually this desperate in soaps there is a bit more of a precedent for it; they're schemers or spoiled or delusional. These were all things Kelly had never been. So imagine my relief when Heather Tom took over the role of Kelly, she was much better fit and with her came back some of
