So many shows today have a hard enough time recycling the same groupings in new ways at different times- B&B's Ridge/Brooke/_____/____ combos that have been around for almost 22 years, Y&R putting mixing and matching Victor and Nikki are examples of that. But the fact that Marland had 4 quads running at the same time, each with its own unique patterns, must have taken some doing.Scott Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251796083487727007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151648620999578441.post-66100301065656329722009-01-07T20:14:00.000-05:002009-01-07T20:14:00.000-05:00Good stuff, Tom.

Can't wait for the next installment.jefhamlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136638607172622104noreply@blogger.com
