REFLECTIONS BY JILL for February 6, 2007

Starr and Cole were very cute sneaking some time together in the library. I don’t know how much they are like Romeo and Juliet, but it’s nice to see Starr growing up and dealing with grown up situations.

Marty needs a wake-up call. I can’t believe she told Jessica she was mourning Spencer because it would have been nice if he had a chance to get some help. Give me a break!

And Nora, what nerve asking Evangeline on behalf of the Mayor to avoid being seen with Cristian in public and to sign a press release saying that she supported the position of the police in Cristian’s case. Bravo Evangeline. She just about told Nora AND the Mayor to go to Hell and I applaud her for it.

And in conclusion, it was good to see Roxy hanging around again. She’s always around when a murder is committed and usually she witnesses something she’s too drunk to remember. I was surprised she didn’t turn up at the hospital to see what really happened. But as usual, she had me hysterical when she was giving Marcie advice about Tommy’s teething problem and advised her to rub his gums with booze, saying that it was a “homeopathetic” cure. You Go, Roxy!

See ya next week.

FAN FEEDBACK AND QUESTIONS

Angela writes: “I read that Todd and Blair are going to be breaking up for good. I really hope that TPTB don't go through with that storyline. If they do I am going to be really upset because I am a really big fan of Todd and Blair. They have always had a special bond. I think that they deserve to have some happiness. I also think that Starr deserves to be happy. She has had to go through a lot of stuff that girls her age shouldn't have to go through.”

Dear Angela: I haven’t heard anywhere that Todd and Blair will be broken up for good. I can’t imagine that happening, but I am sure they will be apart for a while. As I have said in the past, these two belong together. They have been through so much and honestly, I can’t imagine anyone else being able to put up with either one of them. They are perfect for each other and I hope to see their family back together soon. I totally agree about Starr. For a young girl who has been through as much as she has been through, she has turned into a very smart, beautiful and admirable young lady. She would make a good role model for any young woman today.

Tara writes: “I was very surprised that you didn’t mention anything about Starr pushing a fake Brittany aside so she could stake her place in Cole’s life. I laughed out loud when I watched that part, and if I could have reached through the TV screen I would have high-fived her. I also liked the scenes in the park when the two of them really talked and got to know each other a little better. That relationship is probably my favorite to watch right now.”

Dear Tara: You’re right. I didn’t get around to writing about Starr and Cole. I liked their scenes, too, but sometimes it’s strange to see how much Starr has grown up and when she threw herself at Cole in school that day, I thought she was great, too, and I guess we should all get used to “little” Starr starting to do what the big girls do. Wow, time sure does fly. I remember not too long ago when she was a very little girl being in love with snakes and spiders.

Yvonne writes: “I just love One Life to Live. I would just like to say that I really wish they would give Cristian a break. It seems like he just can't catch a break since he's been back on the show. It's just been one negative thing after the other with his story lines. I wonder if he'll ever have a good positive story line that we can enjoy.”

Dear Yvonne: I would love to see a positive storyline involving Cristian and see his life start looking up, too. I remember when David Fumero was in negotiations to return to the show a few years ago and one thing I read that he wanted was for Cristian to have more of an edge. Well, Cristian sure got that edge and he hasn’t had too much fun since he’s been back. I hope his relationship with Evangeline doesn’t suffer with all this arson stuff going on. It’s time for him to be involved in a storyline that we can all enjoy and for me, that means a storyline that DOES NOT involve Vincent Jones.

Lorraine writes: “Bo needs to take refresher course on overseeing the police department. I could have put my Doberman puppy in charge of guarding Spencer. Believe me, nobody, and I mean nobody would have gotten past him. I couldn't believe how many people walked in to talk to Spencer. Spencer should have wanted to go to jail or Wingdale with all that traffic!”

Dear Lorraine: I’m still laughing about your Doberman puppy and I have no doubt he would have been more effective than the guards that were posted outside Spencer’s door. Actually, a stuffed puppy would have been a better choice than any of those guards. They let Spencer’s lawyer walk in with a briefcase and a duffel bag. Did they think he was coming for a slumber party? And they let Starr walk in to see Spencer carrying a huge purse on her shoulder. Hey, who would have blamed her for whipping out a big stick and clocking Spencer with it? Poor Bo; you just can’t get good help these days.
