Additional Comments: Did anyone see Ugly Betty this past thursday? When Daniel, Wilhemina and Mark went to see Renee's psychiatrist he said she has a borderline personality with violent tendencies and as he went on to explain that when she became fixated on someone, she becomes insanely jealous and possibly violent (against the person who is allegedly keeping her beloved from her), I immediately thought of Paul! Fixated on Meg and he takes out his violence on Mike and previously Craig. I think the guy needs to be medicated right now.

I don't know about Ugly Betty, never cared to watch it, but you apparenly don't watch ATWT very closely. Paul went after Craig because he heard he tried to poison Meg to kill Paul's unborn child. As for Mike, it happened at the police station. Paul had calmed down and was trying to talk to Meg when Mike pushed him away. Paul punched Mike back for butting in where his big nose didn't belong.

It's you who isn't watching ATWT very closely. Paul went after Craig LONG before he tried to cause Meg's miscarriage (and then, of course, Paul wound up causing her to miscarry himself). What would you call it when he fixed it so Dusty would shoot Craig? eom/D

..... plus Paul exhibited plenty of anger towards Mike before the police station, even before the hot air balloon incident. Paul's anger has nothing to do with Mike pushing him away. He's just a big baby throwing tantrums. eom/D

Meg has been leading Paul on and driving him crazy while involved with Craig. She would give him those come hither looks with her crooked half smile and promise him they'd be together. She snuck away from Craig to sleep with Paul only to go back to Craig and sleep with him. She would bounce back and forth between the two, making each man feel as though they had a chance at real love with her. Now, she tells Paul that she never wants to see him again, yet when she does run into him, she sends out mixed signals by getting phsyically close to him and kissing him, letting him believe that he still has a chance. Now she's throwing herself at Mike, giving him to old heaving bosom, come hither, half crooked smile in front of Paul, while doing the same to Paul as soon as Mike goes away. She's setting up the same pattern with Paul and Mike as she did with Paul and Craig. She enjoys leading these men on and particularily enjoys torturing Paul this way while playing the victim. She knows how mentally fragile Paul is and how insecure he is, yet she continues to lead him on just so she can feel the rush of having two men wanting her. Paul is not just a big baby throwing temper tantrums. Meg is playing him, leading him on one moment and rejecting him the next while flaunting Mike in his face. He's frustrated and confused. I don't blame Paul one bit for his anger. I do blame Meg, however./ bubbles

I will answer #1 in the replys. I have said it before and I will say it again. Paul in his mind was allowing Dusty to finish what he had started..to exterminate a murdering dangerous, no-good, worthless rat named Craig..and that was exactly what Craig was to the innocent victums of Oakdale..his history proved it both before and to this day. Craig was nothing more then a terrorist and you know what everyone thinks of them..liz
