was alive, but I guess they think it makes for a more psychotic Vivian if she keeps seeing and following the orders of the ghost of Lawrence. In any event, I like Michael and am glad to see him from time to time. I just wish, oh so very very much, that they would bring back Nicholas. Now, you want to talk breathless admiration for a real true hottie, and those of you who remember Victor Webster, would have to agree. Bringing Nicholas Alamain back would add a great deal of depth and could open a Pandora’s Box for some great new plots, but I wouldn’t want a recast of the character. I would want the original Nicholas. I wonder if he even knows his father was killed by his mother.
