oh.. I do hope that the writers really did not redeem Rose in that three minutes. Annie is a soft touch, but that whole spiel from Rose was alot to take in.
I think Sandy is out of the opening credits too.
I don't like it that Ruthie is not involved in anything...they had to make her find a "cause" so she collected soup labels. She never even mentions going to church youth group. Mary had basketball; Matt kept finding jobs. Seems like Lucy, also, just had a succession of boy friends. I always think the key to keeping kids out of trouble in high school is to make sure they are involved in something.
