   I completely agree that Pratt and his merry gang ruined Breese. Much to the noted chagrin of both Braun and Riegel… That said I cannot support a Zach and Reese pairing since it only serves to further the anti-gay agenda that muddied the waters in the first place. I know what Bianca said was horrible (keeping in mind that the drama is always blown sky high on the soaps they needed the usual boom here) – but I'm choosing to cut her some slack. Let's face it the lat few months of her life leading up to this weren't exactly wonderful…what grieves me is that Reese has to be the one who bore the brunt of her pain. I do want to see Reese and Bianca back togeter – I think the writers did in fact register our frusteration with the direction this story was going (noted in the sudden disparity with the well published spoilers and the actual aired programming – hard not to notice)… Note I have nothing against Zach – he's actully the best antihero I've seen in a while – his own worst enemy. Thanks for your hard work here…much appreciated! SMB

   SMB: My reasons for wanting Reese and Zach has to do with what Bianca said to Reese. Hieghtend drama aside, there was no reason to write those things for Bianca. She came off as crass and a bitch. She didn\'t even let Reese get a word in. Technically, what Bianca said and did could be looked at as abusive. Which to me, is the reason I could care less to see the two back together unless Bianca does some serious grovelling herself. She needs to atone for what she said and did to Reese. There was no good reason, outside of the crappy writing, to have Bianca do what she did to someone she supposedly loves. Bianca didn\'t even allow Reese any time to explain why that kiss happened. She just jumped and didn\'t bother getting Reese\'s side. And even that night, she took Kendall\'s side. For me it has to do with what she did and said. Zach has more than made up for his part in what happened to Reese. He chose his friendship over his wife\'s idiocy. That goes a long way with me. As far as the anti-gay agenda, I think they went about this whole story completely wrong. They made it more about the \'gayness\' of the story, rather than the actual story. I wish that Tamara and Eden had signed a longer-term contract so that Reese could have been brought onto the canvas as someone unattached to anyone in Pine Valley. Opened her vistas for the possibility of anyone and anything. I think that it would have been something had they brought her in as someone who heard about the tornados and wanted to help Ine Vally rebuild. Instead, they brought her in with no realistic introduction and the fans mostly hated her. It\'s only now after Kendall and Ryan\'s grief sex that everyone is actually seeing that Reese wasn\'t all that bad and her supposed trangressions amounted not nil. Too little, too late.

   I respect what you said about Zach and Reese. That's were I see that their friendship bond, but Reese and Bianca are perfect. Eden and Tamara have amazing chemistry. I've been waiting for years to see Bianca have the woman of her dreams. Reese and Bianca balance each other perfectly.
