Hi Critic! Well, I've heard lots of rumors, but take each one with a grain of salt. I'm hoping for the best with our new head writers. I think these new writers are probably OLTL's last chance for keeping me as a viewer. If things go downhill or I see a Phelps/McTavish pattern, I'm outta here once and for all. eom
