I see your point Waken but after so much time in the background, I'm just thrilled to see Nora back in the thick of things. She's gonna be integral to figuring out the MBK mystery and putting psycho Troy back behind bars where he belongs -- and no more of this nonsense of getting 'day passes' from maximum security.

Plus, this 'rape' story with Todd is bound to bring lots of story for Nora as what he did to her all those years ago is brought to the present. Can Nora be impartial given the history? Now she is on the other side, charged with putting Todd away instead of trying to get him off. Quite the quandry for our girl!

Now that Gabby is out of the picture, she can concentrate on raising her son with his father. I'm SURE your wish for romance is on the way with the pairing of Hillary with her incomparable scene partner, Woodsy. It will be SO great to see these two pros going at it. The scenes yesterday were a small taste, with Bo trying to push Nora away and Nora standing firm and giving it right back to him. Antagonism always leads to romance on soaps and nobody irritates Nora more than Bo -- in more ways than one!

Yup, Nora is right in the thick of things, a FAR CRY from where she was last year -- stuck on Troy-boy island!! Remember how little she had to do then?? I'm happy to see Nora just about every day on my screen. I have faith the good stuff is coming. I'm gonna just sit back and enjoy it!
