I never looked at Allie as one of the main characters as Johnny is right now.  Allie to me is fluff and filler when they need her but otherwise she’s at Caroline’s or visiting Lucas.  Johnny’s had storylines written around him with Rafe and being a Jr. FBI mad, Stefano and EJ spoiling him and Sami/EJ fighting over him.  

Is she the same one that was Melanie’s friend in Paris when she was first introduced on the show?

Was that Siobian or something like that. She screamed in every song.

They never said who it was.  Speculation on the boards at the time was it was Sami because she wanted to stop her from going to EJ with that video of her confessing to shooting him but nothing has ever been determined and it seems like the police pushed it aside.

I haven’t seen him yet so don’t know what type of accent it is. 

My godson was half Mexican but raised by his blond haired mother and grandparents who were of Scandanivian and German descent with no accents.  He talked like they did until he was a teen and his father took him to Mexico to visit relatives. When he came back he announced he was Mexican and only going to date Mexican girls.  After that his friends had to me of Mexican descent and his speach changed to slightly broken English with an accent.  When he’d talk to me I’d tell him I couldn’t understand him unless he spoke English and he’d suddenly speak fine with no accent at all. 

So, this long story is to say maybe Dario’s accent is from years of hanging out with a certain group of people and trying to fit in.  Or it could be like all those westerns with Roddy McDowell.  He’d be the only son of a Texas rancher with an English accent while the rest had a southern drawl.

I know it’s not the same thing but I went to a bible study in the late 90’s with a couple and the wife had alzheimers.  Every week she’d ask what your name was and maybe comment on what you were wearing.  My last name at the time was Gilson and her’s was Gibson so I always got the comment about our last names being one letter different.  Several times before each study started she’d ask everyone their names then we’d sit at a table and she’d go around the table asking and writing them down.  She’d then laugh and tell us "in 10 minutes I won’t remember who you are anyway".  I felt it must be awful during those lucid moments to know that you’d soon forget.  Even worse was when she wouldn’t remember her grandkids.  I think amnesa is worse in some ways because you’re always lucid but can’t remember things you know you should and with alzheimers in those moments you know you’re eventually going to forget and not know which time of remembering will be the last and you’ll loose the memories forever.   I often wonder if once you forget are you then aware or that you’ve forgotten or just in your own world where everything frightens you.  

What really amazes me with amnesia or at least the way it’s portrayed on TV and movies you still remember how to read, write and talk.  I do know people that have had short term memory loss where they forget events surrounding a certain incident. 

I like Haley but my choice of who could go would be Paul first followed by Jacob then Pia.  I think Karen would have been on that list after Paul and Jacob.  From her performance tonight she deserved to be saved though. 

First someone would have to suspect that’s not the real Rafe.  All Sami suspects right now is he’s not in his right mind and something is wrong.  But if he continues the way he is I’m sure he’ll be arrested for something and then they’d fingerprint him.  With Rafe being FBI I’m sure they have his prints on file someplace.
