I see what you are saying Yvonne about taking her in that direction.
But I really would like to see a good storyline for Monica. I always
liked her character but it doesnt seem like they have given her much
other than just "being there" when something happens. I dont want to
see her end up like some of the other older characters that have
seemed to just fade away.
