I find Babe's being the genius of Fusion to be ridiculous too...what has she ACTUALLY done? What has ANY of them actually done that we see? It reminds me of when I was little...WAY back..and we played office in the basement...you know we'd do silly stuff and scribble on some scrap paper and then go to lunch..then scribble some more and answer toy phones and then go out on dates at the end of the "day"...

Jack + Carmen...I really do not like it. I do like that he says he likes to be out and just enjoy..no drama...but Carmen is pretty much Greenlee's age...and I guess that's okay..the age difference...but I don't know..I'm just not feeling it. I like Carmen as more one of "the people"...not wearing the finest clothes Adam's credit card will buy...and going to the posh spots with a millionaire guy who's a public figure...the ex Mr. Erica Kane and ex DA and all of that...I'd like Carmen to find a regular guy...just a guy...not a bazillionaire. She calls Erica Supuhstar...now they're portraying Carmen as moving in the same circles...she's the maid at Chandler Mansion but her first romantic excursion out of prison and she dates her attorney who's a millionaire by birth. I'm not saying she's lowly..I'm saying cannot ANYONE be normal and not involved with monied people...can't they ever be AVERAGE people? Years back AMC had some average people..not anymore...everyone is somehow hooked up with billionaires and/or celebs and/or moguls.

...it's true, even Carmen admitted she was way out of her league, with a lawyer. But Erica bolstered her ego and insisted that she IS worthy and NOT beneath anyone. But I don't see any long-term romantic passion between Carmen and Jack, either -- but I hope the warmth and caring will always be there for them. As for Babe -- she is a GED genius. She knows makeup. She knows EveryWoman. She is love...buddz

Adam and Erica and Jack and Carmen, are all best as friends rather than lovers. I think Adam/Carmen have major chemistry and would love to see them go at it. For me it will always be Erica and Jackson who have IT.

[insert reaction/expletive/emotion of choice]: H+LL to the NIZZAW!!!!

...well said! I don't know what a nizzaw IS exactly, but it sounds sufficiently doofus-like to describe Ryan and sending him to the depths of Hades with his nizzy self seems adequate..buddz

''Nizzaw'' = ''Naw'' [i.e., colloquial form of ''no''] + ''izz'' [i.e., made-up syllable used in hip-hop lingo] inserted before the vowel [or, in the case of polysyllabic words, before the first vowel in the first syllable]. Thus, ''h+ll to the naw'' becomes ''h+ll to the nIZZaw!'' I learned it from watchin' that new-fangled M-Teevee channel all the younguns are so fond of. Gotta stay in the loop, y'know ... wouldn't want the cool kids to think I'm not totally tubular, groovy and hip to their jive. Ya dig? RIGHT ON!!!! - - acidbrat, tongue-in-cheekily ;-)

I have a piffle:  How plot driven is this Taylor can't afford that crummy little apartment that Jamie lived in?  To the best of my knowledge, as long as you are in the Army you may live on post (free), or off-post and they give you a fairly substantial housing allowance.

And I don't feel anything for Ryan, one way or the other.  I did, however, mentally high five Annie when she packed her bag and took Emma.

everything *Taylor* is going to be army=bad DxB

...oh, I high-fived that DreamStateAnnie, flinging the tire tool at Ryan! But yeah, leaving will do for the nonce. As for that apartment, methinks it's more about the haunting pts episodes than the money...but you're probably right about the other thing. And why would she be renting anything if she was planning to ship out? And where is her home base? And what about her parents?...buddz (not really caring a fig OR an oak leaf cluster where the grunt stays)

I'm afraid I was cheering  forGreenlee when she was sniping at Erica.  I've always adored their snarky chemistry together.  And I'm ecstatic for Jack.  Why should Erica be the only one who "gets it on" with whomever she chooses?

Love Amanda and Jake.  I wish Amanda would actually GET the guy for once.  She's taken over Simone's curse of being the most beautiful woman on the cast, but never getting the guy.

As for Ryan      NO

Just like Erica, Erica Kane, he is finally getting his cummupins.  I don't feel sorry for either of them.

I don’t think Erica wants anyone to feel sorry for her and I bet she will be fine after the initial shock. Jack moving on is expected, but his choice would be suspect of any ex. Plus he accused Erica at the yacht club of not being a good friend to his new girlfriend. Seems like Erica must now remain friends with Carmen even if she doesn’t want to otherwise Jack will get on his high horse to her. I doubt that Erica was really surprised that Jack bedded her friend after one date, sex is what he relates to. Now, Greenlee was talking about something she could have only known from hearsay. She has known Jack about 5 years, but she was ranting about Erica’s treatment of Jack over the past 20 years. Does she even know that her father slept with Erica many times while he was married to his brother? Does she even realize that many of the times Erica moved on, it was because Jack dumped Erica, but he stuck around during many of her relationships as a third angle because HE wanted to do so and caused problems with men like Dim & Chris? Erica is not the only one at fault but it came across that way from someone who was not there. Jack had an obligation to Erica to stand by her as her PAID lawyer while she was in prison. He told the truth to the US Attorney that they were not involved. /Sg

...we totally agree about Amanda! But I still hold out hope for her to be more than a hapless, luckless Simone...she will find her lobster some day and the world will celebrate! Oh, okay, two or three MandyFans will celebrate, but there IS hope...buddz
