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.
Well, she'll have to do rehab and you know when they find
out about Jake, that's going to give them a story...what
with Alan's forged will leaving everything to Jason's
children and Edward trying to get him somehow...I saw a pic
in a soap mag where Monica is crying in Jason's arms, so
there's the rebuilding of their relation****p, too. She
won't be fading away in the next 6 months or so, anyway.
