[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 127713, member: 719"] Krystle wasn't a saint, original Krystle anyway. Cardboard Krystle was. Cardboard Frankie was a bad copy of a the martyr (and you yourself have mentioned many times how she supposedly sacrificed her own happiness, like leaving for London for 2.3 episodes). As for a different story, of two women fighting over a man....hmm, why aren't I convinced? Maybe because one was even the cousin of Alexis?
