of changes beginning to take place. People were just getting tired of the same old crap, including the same old personalities. It’s about time the characters started acting more like "normal" people, showing their true feelings. Kate may have started out hating Stefano for forcing her to marry him, but she has grown to love him and she appears to be genuinely concerned about his health. Nicole may love Brady, but she has always been painfully aware of her love for E.J. as well; otherwise, none of the travesties he has committed against her would even matter. I like the more realistic personalities shown yesterday between these two. It’s a good sign of things to come, IMO.
