***** rating

This is the best soap, the best cast and the most beautiful of all the soaps. We hate to see that 1:55 on the TV.

Please, please make it an hour.

By the way, Brooke is starting to fade. Don't you think she too old to keep having kids and trying to be a bracelet? It's time for the younger kids to spice it up. Stephanie is the matriarch that all families should be grateful that she is around to give substance to the storyline. It all goes back to her She's right, Eric is "an old fool" no matter how sexy he is.

Also, I think it is so cool that they give the actors name and their show name. This is the only soap that is doing it.

Once again, B & B is the best!!!!!!!
