CRAZE

Praise the (Tina) Lord!
 

Finally, after an eighteen year absence, Andrea Evans
returns to One Life to Live as Tina Lord.
 

It's finally happened. The biggest return to hit Llanview since Robin Strasser brought Dorian back to town - and maybe even bigger, considering that it's been nearly 20 years since the original Tina Lord has been seen on ABC: Just in time for May sweeps, Andrea Evans returns to One Life To Live in the role she originated, the vibrant, sassy, and trashy Tina Lord. Evans' long clamored-for return may be the biggest casting news on a soap ever (with the exception of Luke and Laura's return to General Hospital in the 90's). It's been something fans have wanted for such a long time, that it nearly seemed impossible. Especially given Evans' initial reasons for leaving New York City (she was stalked by a crazed fan and basically forced out of NYC for her own safety and sanity), no one knew if this day would ever arrive. But it has. And I, for one, am ecstatic. I've been calling for this moment and recently I predicted it would happen this year for sure. Evans apparently waited for the cancellation of Passions to let this deal be sealed, which speaks to her loyalty and class.

Evans is only purported to be back for a short run... but we all know that can change. I think it's wise of her to play that card. After all, who knows if these writers will even give her proper material. Maybe she doesn't want to move permanently to New York. Even a shorter stint will be warmly welcomed - but I won't stop holding out hope that this will turn into something more long-lasting. ABC hasn't released any other information regarding her return other than the fact that Tina is "involved with someone not well-liked." Immediately, I surmised that this person has to be none other than Lee Ramsey. I've been dying to know just who he keeps talking to on the phone. And recently a spoiler came out that says he starts attending to a "mystery woman" in the coming weeks. That woman, I think, is Tina Lord, and apparently she is already living in her brother's old penthouse! Then again, could Tina be involved with Dorian's scheme to take over Buchanan Enterprises? Dorian isn't exactly "well-liked." But I think what the writers may be doing here is setting up a two-pronged attack on the central family of Llanview. With Dorian coming full-force at Buchanan Enterprises, and Lee and Tina taking over the police station and working towards perhaps more obscure purposes, the Buchanan's are in deep doo-doo. The fact that the writers have spent so much time and effort on making the Buchanan's strong again and giving Buchanan Enterprises so much storyline importance, now seems a strategic set-up to allow for both Dorian's return to her true nature as well as the explosive return of Tina Lord. Viki and the Buchanans should be scared.

I cannot express (if handled correctly) how much I approve of Tina being positioned with Lee as going after some deep, dark objective. Knowing Tina, she's probably trying to get her hands on some money. In fact, we've already heard Lee promise his mystery partner that he's working on getting them more money. How juicy would it be for Tina to be the new lady of the penthouse, the very property her dear brother is trying to regain. I definitely get the feeling that things will not be rosy between Tina and Todd. And that's all very well. The more people's throats Tina is after, the better. The glory of the character of Tina Lord is that she rarely has any friends and although she does have that proverbial "heart of gold," she is a loose cannon who makes enemies without even trying. She is trashy, brassy, and crass. I think she will find a friend in Roxy Balsom, and she may even take a liking to her niece Natalie, who sometimes reminds me of her (only on a much lesser scale of outrageousness). But other than that, I wouldn't expect her to get along with too many people.

Here's a thought for long time viewers: Could Lee Ramsey be Cain Rogan with plastic surgery? We know that Tina did get back together with him off-screen and that Cord tried to find them but had no luck in doing so. Hmmm. If Lee is Cain, that surely would explain his vendetta against the Buchanans... though I would think Sarah would have recognized him even with surgery. Just a whacky idea I had.

I'd like to run down Tina's past relationships with everyone on the show, especially for the sake of viewers who are unfamiliar with Tina's past. But before I do, I'd like to propose one possibility behind Tina's return. Whenever I think of Tina Lord, especially as played by Andrea Evans, the person I think of most with her other than John Loprieno's Cord, is Gabrielle Medina as played by the beautiful Fiona Hutchinson. Despite a crazy and classic storyline in which Tina lied to Gabrielle, took her baby (Al) to America, and passed it off as her own presumed-dead son (C.J.), Tina and Gabrielle remained friends and seemed to always get into trouble together. They were both lovable bad girls who got mixed up with Mitch Laurence and were constantly manipulating their men (especially Cord and Max!). So is it possible then, that part of Tina's return is to get revenge on Bo, John, and the Llanview Police Department for letting Gabrielle fall victim to the Music Box Killer? I suppose the writers may not be thinking this much about it, but is it too much to ask for? If Tina waltzes back into town and doesn't even address that Gabrielle was murdered since her last stay in town, I will be very disappointed. A little birdie whispers that Gabrielle's memory WILL be invoked soon, and she's not the only deceased Llanview lady who's name will be coming up. My question is, what does this strange new storyline have to do with Tina, if anything, and does it all connect back with Allison Perkins and Mitch Laurence? Food for thought. In the meantime, let's check Tina's relationships with the other citizens of Llanview currently on the show, starting with ex-husband David Vickers, who will ALSO pop up for May Sweeps! Oh joy!


TINA'S TIES:

- David Vickers: Tina and David could not resist their incestuous attraction (when David was scamming the town into thinking he was Victor Lord's son... who was actually Todd). Even though Tina thought David was her brother, she gave in to her passion for him. Um, doesn't this sound familiar? Paging Jared and Natalie! After the truth about Todd and David came out, this comedic pairing tied the knot. Andrea Evans was not playing Tina for this storyline, and I simply cannot WAIT to see her interact with Tuc Watkins. It's my idea of comedy heaven. Though apparently, their returns may not coincide in time for May Sweeps. Boo.

- Todd Manning: Tina's biological brother... but they were raised as cousins. Weird, huh? Todd was raised by Peter Manning, the brother of Irene Manning. Tina was raised by Irene. So they were raised as cousins but they were actually brother and sister. Only on a soap, I tell ya. Well, it's a good thing Irene kept Tina since we all know what kind of a father Peter Manning turned out to be. Anyway, Tina found out the truth about Todd being her brother and kept it a secret, helping David Vickers attempt to get his hands on the Lord inheritance. Later, she was the one who told Todd the truth about his paternity.

- Blair Cramer: Tina and Blair hate each other, plain and simple. Blair's arrival coincided with Cord's "death," and Blair even popped the news to Tina. Tina blamed Blair for Cord's death and that's where their feud began. Years later, of course, Blair and Cord had a serious romantic relationship. Considering that Tina and Cord were married three times and have two children together, it's safe to say that Tina and Blair's relationship never improved. Tina is the one who exposed Blair's lies to Todd, that the real reason she married him was for his inheritance. Funny, since that's exactly what Tina did to Cord years earlier! When Todd was presumed dead in Ireland, Tina fought Blair for ownership of The Sun, and fought dirty to get an injunction against her. I cannot WAIT to see Andrea Evans and Kassie DePaivia go at it.

- Viki Davidson: Viki and Tina are half-sisters. Their father is Victor Lord. Victor impregnated Viki's college roommate, Irene Manning (also Todd's mother, making Tina and David full-blooded siblings), whom he had secretly married in a bit of history being re-written. When Irene was dying, she gave the teenaged Tina to Viki to raise. As it turned out years later, Tina found Victor Lord's secret room and discovered her true paternity. Up until then, Viki thought she was just raising her friend's daughter, not her own sister! To say that Viki and Tina did not get along would be the world's biggest understatement. Tina didn't really get along with anyone, but she and Viki were enemies for years because of Tina's hunger to get rulership over the Lord estate and Llanfair. She was with many men but eventually hooked back up with Mitch and schemed against Viki. She even used Viki's split personality disorder against her. Eventually the two became close, but things were never smooth for them. As stated above, Tina later helped David Vickers scam Viki for millions of dollars. David and Tina's scam was the event that set into motion Viki's fracturing into her many split personalities (though Dorian's revelation that Victor had sexually molested her pushed her over the edge... she was already in a fragile state). Viki's alternate personality, Jean Randolph, ended David and Tina's marriage and forced David to dump Tina.

- Niki Smith: Although Viki's main alternate personality is dormant once again, Tina has more storyline history with her than any other character. I would not be too shocked if Niki emerged at some point to interact with Tina once again. Niki even saved Tina's life once.

- Clint Buchanan: Tina fell in love with Clint at one point and tricked him into thinking he slept with her. She then faked a pregnancy by him. Clint never loved her though. Eventually Clint used her and pretended to be intimate with her so that Niki Smith would walk in and be shocked back into letting Viki out. It worked. Tina also killed Maria, the mother of Clint's son Cord, in self-defense. And don't get me started on that, because it's one of my favorite soap memories of all time! Maria Roberts was one of the best soap bitches ever!

- Sarah Roberts: Tina's estranged daughter. We don't know much about their estrangement - only that Tina is an absentee mother and Sarah got fed up enough to run away. Apparently, Tina hasn't really gone after her. I guess she won't be winning Mother of the Year anytime soon.

- Miles Laurence: As far as we know, Tina and Miles don't know one another. But Tina was a huge part of Mitch's life and certainly she would raise an eyebrow at Mitch's brother being in town and living on Viki's property. After all, crazy Mitch is the one who gave Tina the information that Cord was a secret Buchanan, which is the whole reason she married him in the first place (the exact same storyline used to get Todd and Blair together years later). With Miles rumored to be exiting the show in a permanent fashion during May Sweeps, I would not be surprised if it somehow ties in to Tina's return.

- Roxy Balsom: No known relationship, but Tina spent a LOT of time in Atlantic City. So a past connection could - and SHOULD - easily be forged.



RANDOMNESS

- I am really digging the Bo/Nora/Clint/Lindsay dynamics. Will Lindsay suck Clint into helping her keep Bo and Nora apart?
- Is Lindsay being genuine or is she in on Dorian's plot to help takeover Buchanan Enterprises?
- You'd think that after Dorian's loyalty to Lindsay while she was in jail, Lindsay would be on her side.
- But isn't Lindsay supposed to love Bo? Why does she seem to be pushing Nora towards Bo, then? Does she want Bo? Or Clint? Is she confused, or does she know what she's after? Who's side is she on? Inquiring minds want to know!
- I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the Bo/Nora car scenes, and the flashback.
- The fake snow during the Clint/Lindsay car scenes was really laughable.
- Wise of the writers to reintroduce Bo and Nora's bond over junk food and swing dancing.
- But Nora was a bit tacky in presenting her booty to Bo TWICE by bending over the car seat. Funny.
- I am still loving Natalie and Jared. Glad she knows the truth - now she will also face her family's wrath.
- Damn - Natalie slapped the hell out of Jared's face!!!
- Nigel and Jared forgot to tell Natalie that Max Holden is in on the secret, too.
- I hate how Blair is advising Todd as if he only slightly miss stepped with Starr. He tried to MURDER Cole. Are we all going to pretend this didn't happen? It reminds me of when Cris shoved Evangeline and everyone pretended like that didn't happen, either.
- Blair also talks to Todd as if he's a baby. What is WRONG with her? She is a shadow of her former self. I hope Tina slaps her into shape.
- Looks like TPTB are not going to give Todd his back story. But they're sadly mistaken if they think viewers will forget what he did and sympathize with him. Eh-eh.
- I really want to see a scene where Natalie and Jared have sex and are caught by the family committing "incest."
- Starr's nightmare was very well-done.
- Kristen Alderson is ROCKING this material - nicely understated and mature work.
- Antonio is ENCOURAGING Cristian to be irrationally jealous? Thanks, bro.
- Finally - Nash has figured out Jessica. She wanted him to be her bitch. And... she's boring. Now will he also realize TESS is his true love, NOT Jessica?
- The contrived nature of the Nash/Sarah story seemed to turn into Nash actually being attracted to Sarah. It came out of nowhere, but that's how the writers are playing it now.
- But this was AWFUL... Sarah: "I live for the rush. I'm addicted to it." No, honey, you're not. You are, in fact, totally boring and useless. The writers can pretend you are this exciting rush-loving girl, but we've never seen that. All we've seen is a lame attempt at writing an "off-beat" character who, at the end of the day, is just a below-average soap girl.
- So while I'm seeing a genuine attraction from Nash towards her, I don't appreciate how the writers are suddenly trying to re-define him or Sarah. They're basically trying to say that Nash and Sarah are these cuh-razy cooky kids and Jessica and Cris are conservative, stay-at-home types. Even if they succeed at this silly angle, it's not a storyline. It's a set-up.
- We had even more Charlie/Roxy/Atlantic City references this week. Yep, I'd say Charlie is Rex's dad after all.
- How did Natalie get a haircut and styling while at the lodge up in the mountains?
- I couldn't believe little Matthew Buchanan almost said, "ass!" Funny but weird.
- I thought Lindsay's New Age music was hilarious.
- M.I.A. - Vincent Jones. Not that I'm complaining. But Shaun is the new token black male on the show.
- Todd has no right to search Langston's personal property. He is not lord of the manner (no pun intended), and he is not her guardian.
- I like Charlie, but enough with the cheesy lines about Viki being the "light of his life." Just spit out your lies, already.
- I'm very interested in the Todd/Gigi scenes coming up.
- What a great Friday Cliffhanger with Starr and the pregnancy test - but what a HORRIBLE give away in the preview for Monday's show! Yes, most of us already know Starr is pregnant, but come on! At least respect the few viewers out there who choose to avoid spoilers. Don't make cliffhanger only to give it away in a preview for the next episode. Either do the cliffhanger or don't do it. Rather than give it away in a preview, end the show with Starr saying, "I'm pregnant." This really, really bugged me.






MAIL REPORT

"I applaud you for acknowledging the change with Clint and even Adriana. Both characters are more interesting because of it. I grit my teeth at the way Adriana threatens Dorian, just because I don't like it. But you are right that the character is acting more like Dorian's daughter. As for Clint, I was literally clapping for him the other day when he was dealing with one of the backstabbers. Jerry Ver Dorn has finally cemented himself in this role and I am very happy for him. I am still holding out hope that he will get back together with my favorite bad girl Dorian." - Cheryl

Thanks, Cheryl. I'm really liking Clint lately, too - probably for the first time EVER. I agree Jerry Ver Dorn IS Clint now, and it took him some decent writing to become the character. I can't imagine a Clint/Dorian reunion now, especially considering that she is indeed the mastermind behind the hostile takeover attempts at Buchanan Enterprises. But you can never say never in soap land. After all, Clint and Lindsay look to be headed towards their second go at a relationship - and no one could have seen that coming a year ago. In soap land, anything is possible.

"Todd has always been loathsome to me, but his actions of late are simply disgusting. I just want to set up little orange cones around him and declare him a "disaster area" so all in his path will stay away. I cannot root for him nor would I want any woman to be with him. At this point, I don't think this character is redeemable." - Cherise

Todd could have been redeemable if these transitory writers hadn't penned him beating the crap out of two helpless boys and treating his own daughter like the object of some bizarre sexual compulsion. Todd IS a disgusting human being now. But instead of going deep into his dark past and making him face the nasty man in the mirror, the writers are now pretending like Todd just had a bad day and now wants to make up with Starr. Are you KIDDING me? I think it's a joke. A very sick joke. And unfortunately, it's doing permanent damage to one of the most interesting characters in the show's history. Todd's days may be numbered.

"I disagree with posters who claim that ABC/Disney are glorifying teen sex – if anything, the contrary is true. I also think, given Starr’s impetuous nature and “I’m gonna do what I want anyway” m.o., wanting to “make love” with the sweetheart she thinks she’ll never see again, makes narrative sense. The initial ripple effect – Todd’s reaction – was natural. Here was a guy with a tormented sexual past, who, despite efforts by the writers to establish that he’s achieved a satisfying sex life with Blair, no doubt still has feelings of frustration, anger, etc. The Margaret fiasco didn’t improve that situation. I’ve know of many people who had pretty randy teen years, who become maniacal in their own parenthood about monitoring their own kids’ sex lives. But what I like better is the umbrella effect that Starr’s pregnancy could have. For one, Blair - already at odds with Todd over his disciplinary tactics - would no doubt come to her daughter’s aid and defense, making yet another (but unusual) problem in the Manning marriage. I already like the fact that Blair bought Capricorn, thereby giving her a life other than being Todd’s sounding board. Throw in John, with whom she’s conferenced re: the situation, and perhaps there could be a spark of a relationship between those two, even if initially it’s a mutual desire to protect their loved ones. Another idea: perhaps there is something in Blair’s own teenage past that will resonate with the current situation – after all, when she was introduced all those years ago (as an Asian American, no less!), it was apparent that she wasn’t averse to using her wiles, etc. Similarly, maybe there is something in this story that will connect to Addie’s past – after all, we don’t know much about her pregnancy and Blair’s birth, and there have been wonderful scenes of late with Addie showing far much more understanding and sympathy for her granddaughter than her stubborn son-in-law." - Laura

You've hit on a lot of interesting things. Particularly, I'd love to see the John/Blair connection explored, as would have been done in the presence of a Todd/Evangeline relationship. I've always thought Blair is the only woman aside from Evangeline that John/Michael Easton has ever had any spark with. I'd also love for Todd, Blair, and Addie to all have their pasts explored and explained. I'd love to know exactly what happened to Addie, who Blair's father is (maybe the rape story isn't true, or if it is, can still be used to affect current stories), and especially would like to see Todd's recent psychopathic behavior explained. The way the writers are brushing it off is absolutely frustrating and debasing to the character and to the viewers. Since Todd's breakdown isn't being dignified with a storyline or explanation, I have no choice but to assume he is a two-dimensional villain now who I am supposed to loathe. Oh well. The one thing Laura brings up that I want to challenge is the implication that Todd had "randy" teen years. I know Laura is probably referring just to other people she knows of, and there is no doubt many "loose" kids grow up to be conservative parents (hypocritical but natural in a way). But... Todd did not have randy teen years. He had criminal and psychotic teen years. The writers spent fifteen years fleshing the character out as a way to explain and redeem his actions. Now they have erased all of the redemption and gone back to Psycho 101. This is what continues to bother me and cause me to devalue the character of Todd Manning.

"Hey Jeremy! Just wanted to say that I agree with just about everything you said. Two points, though - First, it seems that the Antonio vs. John thing is a set-up where Antonio, John, and Talia are pretending to hate each other so Tonio can get the goods on Ramsey. How else can we explain the weird and quick turnaround from Tonio? Otherwise, it is just the hot-tempered Latino stereotype and I hope the writers are a bit smarter than that. Second, I LOVE Beth Ann Bonner! To me, there is something very natural about Talia and the way BAB portrays her. She's also a very strong female character and I haven't seen enough of those lately (not since Evangeline, actually). When I see Talia, she strikes me as a real woman where other women on the show feel more contrived. So give Beth Ann a chance! I think she's fab!" - also Cherise

I have heard it is a set-up, too. But think about it: Is Antonio really that good of an actor that he can tap into his natural rage (a real problem for him in the past which previously cost him his job) and yet maintain complete control over it? Could he really handle seeing Talia and John all over each other at work and NOT let it affect him, even if it was staged? Would he really seem so sincere in his interactions with Ramsey (to the point where I'm actually starting to think Ramsey might actually like Antonio, and vice versa), and would Ramsey really let his guard down enough to give Antonio some sort of top secret information that could bring him down? Is John McBain really capable of making such dramatic, potentially embarrassing scenes in the workplace and in other public places as well as in private just to help along some silly plan that probably wouldn't work anyway? Would John and Antonio really carry their charade into private conversations? I think if the answer to the above questions turns out to be "yes," it will be a bit of horrible and unbelievable writing. Clever, maybe. Believable, no! Furthermore, creating a REAL triangle between these three is FAR more interesting than a fake triangle. Now, if they WERE scamming Ramsey, and THEN Talia and John started to experience a real attraction to one another, THAT could be good. But the audience would have to be in on the scam from the beginning. The scam could backfire, leaving Antonio genuinely jealous and John and Talia genuinely fighting off an attraction. THAT could have been good. But for the writers to convince us that this sudden yet intriguing turn for these characters is real, only to reveal that it's all fake, well... that would make me mad. For the first time in YEARS I am somewhat interested in both John and Antonio. Why would the writers achieve something like that and then back track? Antonio is more interesting as a loose cannon. His relationship with Talia was horribly boring and contrived anyway. So if the writers were planning to turn this budding storyline into a big joke, I think they should reconsider.

As for Beth Ann Bonner, I loved her on Soap Star, think she is gorgeous, and was happy she joined the cast. But she has a long way to go. She is just not FULLY committed to the character or making her interesting. She needs to study Robin Strasser and Kassie DePaivia's ways of motivating the camera. You have to draw the camera into you. Something about is alienating the camera. She's giving off a bit of a cold wind and not connecting through the screen. She is thinking to hard and "acting" instead of feeling and "being." Not helping matters is that from day one, the writers have given her a generic character who really has nothing interesting to say or add to the show. Talia is boring and Bonner hasn't found a way to spice to her up. This "triangle" is the closest thing the writers have done to improving her storyline or character - she needs to really take advantage of it. But at this point, she's being outdone by Easton and De Los Reyes - neither of whom is really a great actor. So as much as I'd like to sing her praises, I just don't feel like Bonner is excelling. I'm still rooting for her to improve, though.

"Why are they showing Marcie eating all the time? I keep thinking she might be pregnant." - Patricia

I don't know! I'm glad someone brought this up, because it really bugged me and I wasn't sure why. There was an episode this week where she was stuffing her face with desserts at the diner for no apparent reason. I didn't even consider the possibility of pregnancy...probably because there have been no signs of a sex life for Marcie and Michael. Their marriage seems to be icy cold at the moment. Most likely, there was a dessert laying around for the taping, and Kathy Brier perhaps just decided to eat it. Maybe she was hungry. Maybe the director told her to eat it. I have no idea. But for some reason, it bugged me that the one plus-size actress on the show was downing desserts. Was that supposed to imply that if you eat dessert you'll be overweight? Why weren't any other characters eating? It bothered me. But I assume that if it bothered Kathy Brier, she would have refused to do it. If it doesn't bother her or make her feel uncomfortable, then it's not something I would harp on beyond this one mention. I just couldn't tell if my being bothered by it spoke to an implied degradation for Kathy Brier, or if it was tapping into some weird bias against oversized people? If Brier didn't care, then I don't care. I hope it tasted good, at least.

"As a woman of size myself (who also has had to cope with endemic depression), I find the implication that a bigger person’s immediate reaction to a stressful event is to stuff themselves unmercifully with food - as Marcie has been oh-so-pointedly doing over the past few episodes - not only insulting in the extreme, but also highly inaccurate. The truth is that although reacting to depression by overeating is quite common, the exact opposite reaction also frequently occurs, with the result that a bigger individual could very well lose their appetite during such an episode, and someone smaller might react by overeating. I just find the show’s treatment of Marcie’s obvious depression SO egregiously wrong that I FF thru all the scenes in which Marcie is just mindlessly stuffing her face because I feel that this material is being presented in a highly misleading and insulting way. As you say, Marcie needs to get off her butt and DO something productive; I have found thru experience that even though it’s the most difficult thing to accomplish when you’re going thru a depressive event, it truly is the best way to achieve healing." - Rebecca

Then again, after receiving this e-mail, I started to harp on the issue some more. Rebecca offers up some insight I hadn't really considered, which perhaps speaks to careless writing more than anything else. When I criticized Marcie the other week for whining about how she has nothing to do, it had NOTHING to do with her being overweight. I'm just sick of her complaining. She got a get-out-of-jail free card and should feel rather lucky to be free. She SHOULD write a book about her experience with Tommy/Sam, which could probably be a best seller and also be a healing experience for herself. Instead, she just moans and whines and tries to make Michael feel guilty when he has gone FAR above the call of duty as her husband. Most men would have left her by now. My calling her "lazy" did not have anything to do with her weight, but with her attitude. In fact, I really don't even think of Kathy Brier as playing a "fat" character. She starred for months in Hairspray on Broadway, a role which showcased not only her impressive voice, but her considerable skills as an athletic dancer. She's a bigger girl than the soap standard, obviously, but that's just how she is. She's never going to be thin and she's probably never going to get bigger. I like having a variety of body types on my shows. Kathy Brier is always the same, whereas other women on the show have gained weight in recent months. That is of more concern from a production standpoint. The wardrobe department has to change their dress sizes, etc., and the sexist men that run ABC are more likely to get rid of an actress who's GAINED weight than an actress who's stayed the same weight. I guess I'm getting off track here, but my point is that since I am not overweight myself, I hadn't considered the whole depression-eating link as the writers' intended gimmick with Marcie. I'm not sure that it is, but it certainly might be. I can say that yes, stress eating is a very real thing. I think that's true for everyone. And strangely enough, when Viki or other characters eat at the diner, they tend to leave the place without so much as touching their plates (have you noticed?). So to have everyone else ignore their dinner while Marcie stuffs her face full of desserts - regardless of whether she is depressed or stressed or whatever - seems insulting and unnecessary. Right?
