[QUOTE="Karin, post: 76601, member: 57167"] Thank you everyone for the feedback. It's much appreciated as always. :thank: [B]Silvie,[/B] I'm glad you thought the final scene in episode seven was great. :) [B]Ms Southworth,[/B] you're welcome about the story. I'm grateful to you for always leaving such detailed feedback. It's a real treat to read your comments. :) I know holding hands seems like the logical first step on a date. But John Ross and Melissa are all over each other in the pool. I guess you can chalk it up to raging hormones that teenagers have. You do tend to feel things a lot more intensively at that age. But yeah John Ross was out of line and got exactly what he deserved for it. I'm glad you enjoyed the JR/SE/Cliff confrontation. Gotta love the drama that occurs whenever you put those character in the same scene. They are hiliarous. :laughs: I think the reason why JR refers to Sue Ellen as his wife is because they were married for 15 years or something like that and now when she's back almost like she's never left it's easy to fall back into the habit of thinking of her as his wife. Sue Ellen is not interested in getting back together with JR. That's not why she's siding with him. It's just that they have an in common goal in making damage control after the movie has been released as they have been embarrassed in public and want to save face. [B]Honkytonkangel, [/B]I agree that Melissa was right to finally walk out on John Ross.
