Additional Comments: I knew what was coming, but still, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the horror that used to be Nash. Ghoulish does not begin to describe it. Horrific, but wonderful in the way it made Jessica practically lose her lunch. I am sick of the constant returning from the dead of Mitch Lawrence (and other soap characters like James Stenbeck), but today's show (with the exception of FF's laughable attempt at drunk) had me thoroughly entertained.

I really don't like to see stuff like that, I am however not really educated on decomposition. I didn't really think that Nash's body would be decomposed into a skeleton after 1 year. I had kinda hope i would see a skeleton instead of what I saw tonight. Does anyone actually know how long it takes for the body to become a skeleton?

P.S. I also thought that Jessica would lose her mind after seeing that! That would definitely make her split into one of her alters

I only know what I read in forensic crime novels, but no, a year wouldn't have decomposition near that extent unless embalming wasn't done properlly or the casket was not sealed, etc. vh

The "Psycho Tribute" was well done. I thought they did a good job (By daytime TV standards) with the dead body. It was much more creepy than I thought it would be.

As a Nash fan, I was always hoping for him to come back to the show- just not like this. (This also prevents pretty much any writer from bringing him back to life in the future.) : (

Not really, they'll just say it was someone else's body or a fake or something--reality has never stopped a soap writer yet. vh
