having Bo and Carly jump into bed, especially this soon.  Maybe if this seperation became more concrete, then I could see it.  But months ago Hope was the love of Bo’s life, now he is in bed with Carly saying it is over?  I just would have liked to see a little more time.  I liked the SL until that point.  I especially liked Justin and Hope trying to find the truth.  I was hoping they would move along with that SL, while Bo and Carly fought their feelings for each other.  I understand them having feelings because of their past, I would have liked a little more fight.  Bo just seems out of it these days, no emotions, just odd.

So those don’t count, she was Gina and I am sorry, that should not count against her.

I do see Patrick though, that should be her fault.

I thought the scene was perfect, great acting.  I also thought Nathan in the background was great.  It showed great foreshadowing that maybe Nathan and Mel are more meant together in the end.  but who knows with these writers.

Funny, we hated Mel when she came on the show, but now her scene has been the best with Maggie.  Funny how things change, now I wouldn’t want to see Mel leave the show.

I hardly ever FF, in fact i can’t remember the last time I did.  But I FF through these scenes, I couldn’t watch them.  I also agree with bring on Bo’s side and no longer now being on his side.  I hope he feels extremely guilty for this.

Heck, Carly was the decent one in this, she tried to stop it and make sure he wouldn’t be upset afterwards about it.  At least she tried, I give her props for that.

There are different levels.  I am slightly claustrophobic and the oddest things trigger me freaking out.  I also sometimes can calm myself down in certain situations.  I put some examples below

If my husband were to throw a comforter on top of my face I freak out, because I cannot breath "fresh" air.  Trust me he has done it and lets say he won’t do it again because of how hysterical I got.

I can be in closed spaces for short periods of time, but when we were at Disney the other day our monorail section was very crowded, which I could deal with until it stopped in the middle of the tracks to wait for another monorail to leave the station.  This freaked me out and I had to work very hard at calming myself down so I would look like Carly.  But until it stopped, I was ok.  My husband said that a monorail got stuck for an hour the other day, I told him I would crawl over the seat into the other less crowded section if we were there much longer – lol

If I go to get a MRI, I am good with most machines, but this one was more closed in.  Both ends were open, so I was still getting fresh air, but I had to close my eyes and talk myself down.  I was paniced for the first couple minutes and the only thing that saved me I needed it and there was no way I was starting the time all over again.

Everyone is different and certain things "trigger" a panic mode.  Some people can calm themselves down from these panic attacks.  Others cannot control them at all.  Others are like your first husband who avoid all situations.  Depends on the level of claustrophobia.  I think that is with any thing though, like my mom cannot get on a stepstool she is so afraid of heights, but others can who are afraid of heights.

We couldn’t go on forever having Mickey be in the other room.  Since the actor is not well enough to play the role and I don’t want a recast, I see this as a great tribute to the character of Mickey and John Clarke.  I also think it allows Maggie’s character to move into a different direction.

Overall I think this is a good SL and a good ending to the character of Mickey.  To me it just didn’t feel right having him there, but not there.  I thought it was lame and just not fair to the character of Mickey or John Clarke who was mickey.

I dislike what Carly is doing to Bo and I think Bo is STUPID for even thinking about Carly that way. 

But as for the elevator, I totally understand that.  If you are claustrophobic you will act that way depending on how serious your case is.  So killing someone has nothing to do with tight spaces, therefore her reaction to it would be completely different.  So I get her ranting and raving in that scene, that was VERY realistic.  Especially since she knew Vivian had something to do with it.
