I don't think Julia is *the* Julia either. She's just a clingy, huggy woman who cries too much.

She bbuuuuuuuuggggggggsssssss me. I don't think there will be TOO much of who is Jack going to pick....the actress who plays Julia only is on a 6 month contract and it's up soon...she didn't renew- read it in Soap Opera Digest at the grocery store. I think it will be fun watching Jack and Carly fall in love again. Sighhhhh...I just love the both of them. For a long time Carly bugged me, way back in the early days, but now I love her. Esp. after seeing Maura West's episode on the Baby Story---I feel like I "know" her a little better watching her as a person, not as Carly and I liked her. And I like how Carly has lots of friends now- remember how it used to seem on ATWT that all the women her age hated each other? I like how Carly, Emily, Rosanna, Rose when she was alive, have all bonded and are friends now. And I like how Ali and Lucy are quasi-friends as well. It's more real.
I think the new Hal is actually okay. I definitely don't hate him; he's pretty decent and I like his calm demeanor.
Lily can just take a hike. As much as I have enjoyed Martha Byrne over the years, I just loved her as Rose....it's hard now just watching her as whiny Lily. Enough.
I am also rooting for Paul and Rosanna...I really like Rosanna and Paul is trying to be a good guy. I am sure they will find Cabot someday and be a happy family (for at least a short time).
I am hoping Katie comes back soon before Jen and Mike fall head over heels. I do love seeing more of Henry with this storyline- that guy (actor) is a GEM.

He needs to work for Lucinda full time and have those two actors on screen together a LOT. They both crack me up.
Where did Chris go? Although he bugs me to pieces, did he just walk off the planet? I really liked him and Ali together when things were going well.....but this stupid thing for Emily made me mad.
I wouldn't mind seeing more Kim too...and John....where did he go?
