but must admit the story lines now are becoming quite boring with the same thing over and over and over. It is time for closure IMHO with the John Marlena Alex story; as for Belle and Phillip I agree with above poster, if it were the old Belle I would say Belle and Shawn get back together - but there is no chemistry with the new Belle, whereas I think there is GREAT chemistry between Shawn and Mimi; Bo and Hope eventually with get back together, their love will conquer all but that story line will go on for awhile, I don't mind that as long as the outcome brings them back to each other; why or why did Jack leave again, I liked him tremendously he added great comic relief in his facial expressions alone when needed; would like to see more of Victor in his strong tough role; I like Abe much much more than Tek; guess I could go on and on but I'm sure you get the picture that although I am an avid fan I am somewhat bored at this point. Oh, and not another Austin and Carrie story line, they are both sooooooooo boring. Now Sammie and Lucas, great.
