r
oles in the future without seeing "Paul"..... The actors in this series
are
sooo good.... I can remembe when I first started to watch the show, I
didn't
think "Michael" was anything special but as the show went on, he could
make
me weak in the knees in the tender scenes he had with Nikita...
Excellent,
excellent show.... Wish it could have gone on for a longer time........
However, having said all of this, I still don't understand why Paul
answered
"No" to George's question.... George didn't ask if they were "in
love"....
He asked if they were lovers.... there is a difference as you have both
pointed out.... (I don't understand, how you can be one without the other
to
be honest with you)..
