You mean it wasn’t Matthew?!
  

Wow some explosive stuff coming up. Even though I hate what they did to Marty, she is not a cold blooded killer! Still the story sounds exciting but I hate to see her go out like this. I bet the ratings on the show are going to skyrocket now!

Oh boy - the John/Kelly/Joey/Marty/Natalie crap sounds like a cure for insomnia.

I think I'll boycott Friday - no interest in RH and I'd love to see ratings plummet that day, though i doubt they will.

Some of the other stuff sounds good, though I hate the cop-out with Clint suddenly the killer again. Take about a lame way to end a storyline that never should have happened. Oh well - I have Y&R to count on.
