Just a few things that are bugging the hell out of me.

Alan is a billionaire. Surely, he has money hidden somewhere that the IRS can't touch. Also, why don't any of his relatives lend him some money. Alex, Beth and Lizzie all have their own money. Surely, he shouldn't be living in one room at Company.

I distinctly remember a real estate agent telling Natalia that Gus owned the house free and clear and it was now hers. How on earth did Olivia buy it?

That is the most depressing nail salon I have ever seen.

Call me crazy, but I like the idea of Frank and Natalia as a couple as well as Remy and Ava.

I miss Reva.

Thanks for listening.

Have to agree about the Alan poverty story. Makes no sense. I could see if Alan hit his head had amnesia & was living in a homeless shelter but, this "story" is no story. True, why wouldn't Alex or Beth give him some cash?

I think Natalia losing the house was just a way to get her living in the Cooper boarding house so she and Frank can embark on a relationship. I too, like them as a couple. She reminds me just a little bit of the original Eleni....except without the bouncy / peppy attitude. Lol.

Reva will be back. I read that she's supposedly going to be on the front-burner once Kim Zimmer returns from vacation. Sounds good to me.

ITA with all your points! This whole story with psycho Dinah living in Alan's house and Alan being *penniless* is ridiculous! And that tramp Olivia buying Gus' house that he bought for Nat and Rafe (I would assume he had mortgage insurance, so Nat saying she can't afford it is ridiculous, and you're right the real estate agent said it was HER house) is outrageous. Don't even get me started on that horrible b!tch Olivia, please kill her off NOW!

I'm glad you mentioned that stupid nail salon! It looks like it's in a trailer, and the shots they take in there are just horrible. And, of course, every woman in the town goes to the SAME nail salon (most towns have about 100 different ones, they're all over). I certainly would not be getting my nails done in that place, it looks filthy! I don't even get my nails done, but if I did I would pick a nicer place.

Joan, these things bug me too. Alan should have some money hidden, but I think it's a good sl for him to be completely broke and learn some humility. I hope that is what this is about. I hope that he really learns from this experience instead of coming back more evil than ever after this setback. But knowing these writers I would say that this is all for naught!

You are absolutely right about Natalia's house!! I remember the agent saying that is was hers, free and clear! So what happened? Suddenly she was talking about mortgage payments and Olivia's sorry a$$ was buying out from under her. (That is really loving Gus, ain't it? Taking his beloved son's house and leaving him homeless? What LOVE!)

I do love the idea of Frank and Natalia hooking up. They are a perfect pair! And they have *chemistry*, as they say. I really like these two together. They are both boring as hell yet a tad interesting when put together. I'm rooting for them!

I could not care less about Remy and Ava. I hate Ava's guts so I just want her to die, period. I never want to see that bitch again. Remy has grown on me and he can do better. Though he's quite the slacker lately.

And why has Dinah not invited Bill and Lizzie to live with her in that humongous mansion??

I like the nail salon OK. I have never been in one so I don't have anything to compare it to. I do my own nails!

HI, Joan! Ava and Remy would be fine with me, as would Frank and Natalia! But I disagree about Alan. I haven't seen where Alex is whooping it up anywhere. Don't know where she's supposed to be. I had rather thought she might have gone to stay with Lillian. Are you sure she has her own money? I guess she does. I don't mind the Alan thing, because I think they're just trying to get across the point that he's totally destitute. He really must be changing somewhat, as he's not whining about the boarding house and being nasty to Buzz, and that's something he always would have done in the past! I THINK they are trying to make a new man of him and redeem him. (That's just a guess though!) I'm really enjoying this whole Dinah/Alan/Spaulding storyline! And Reva should be back soon! I just want Josh and Cassie BROKEN UP, and for him to crawl back to Reva on his belly and for her to torture him for about 6 months and then take him back!!!!

All the gripping about the new look on GL is pretty well founded.I'm not sure if these people in power over there in Spingfieldland have ever seen a location shoot on TV or in movies, I mean, this is not NEW stuff.. Watch a couple of episodes of BBC's favorite Soap, Eastenders!! They have been shooting outdoors and interiors with natural light and sound from their own little Town (Albert Square) without all these weird camera angles, extreeem close-ups, and sound problems, for almost 20 years!!! Can't comment on the lame storyline cause I can't pay too much attention when the view is from inside a corucopia on Buzzs' countertop looking through the artichokes..I am still a fan forever (that could be soon..)

Joan, I agree with almost everything you said. This poor Alan SL is pathetic. I am so tired of it. I liked him better when he was rich. It's a stretch to believe that he hasn't got any money, anywhere. I love Natalia and Frank together. Two lost souls who might could find what they need in each other, if the writers would let them be happy. I don't like Ava or Remy. I think GL could do without both of them, and they wouldn't be missed.
