Drat if he is, because I liked him and his rapport with Henry and with James.

And why were Bonnie and Vienna acting like they had a one night lesbian stand in the warehouse. They were cold, they huddled for warmth, end of story, but that what happens in the warehouse stays in the warehouse exchange was silly and borderline stupid/insulting.

I give alot of credit to the actors who play Bonnie,Derek,Vienna and Henry. I would roll my eyes and fall over laughing if I had to recite their lines.

As far as the Bonnie and Vienna comments, I'd think it was more about the fact that they have such a rivalry and didn't want anyone to ever find out that they helped one another out or comforted/helped each other in a time of need. That being said, it's still ridiculous, because the whole Bonnie/Vienna rivalry was completely contrived from the beginning. There were some illusions that they constantly fought over men. Was Isaac involved? By the way, I really miss Jessica and Ben, for the record.

That was my take on it, too, Sam./mm

I just told my mom the other day that they can definitely "clean up" Derek. He seems to have a conscience, and I think we could keep him around. I like him!

They should definitely keep Derek aound. He has a strong presence and is enjoyable to watch. His interactions with James, Henry, Vienna, Bonnie, Meg, Paul and Babs have been great and in some ways the only thing worth watching during these ridiculous stories!! Plus, it's clear that they showed him as being forced into his situation and not really wanting to do the things he's doing, which makes him totally redeemable, so he could blend well as a new "good guy with a rough edge" character.

I liked Derek too. However, I've noticed that TPTB frequently get rid of part time players that we like. Remember Matt? And I'm still annoyed about Brandy (another James victim). And Nanny Rita?/MM

I thought the same thing - the looks and conversation between Bonnie and Vienna was absolutely ridiculous. There was absolutely nothing inappropriate between them. Anyone who didn't see the episode where they huddled in a blanket just to keep warm would think something really *happened* between them. What a stupid exchange of words that was!!

They had to share a blanket . They are not friends. BV can't stand each other . So thats what I think they meant . This sl is boring , its like get over it already .

The previews for next week showed Derek being questioned as to where Meg is, so it appears that he survived the blast.

They really should keep Derek around. The actor who plays him is charismatic and sexy, and it's not his fault he was introduced in this ludicrous storyline.
