Hey, Dallas
Only one episode so far and a lot has happened to the residents of Twin Peaks.
Natasha stays in the hospital and I liked that Adam found her as well as Cory being at the hospital. Both of her suitors showed up as well as Cassie who looks like she might be blamed for this incident. In which for the first time in her life Cassie hadn't been malicious.
Robbie/Leah/Jeff/Paige/Victoria : I like the affect of Leah's resurrection is on her loved ones and foes. Robbie is torn between his past (Leah) and his future (Victoria). Meanwhile, Paige is still not in favor for Robbie to be with Vicky wanting the family she once had together again by any means necessary. Jeff seems he wants to shake his wife so she can remember their lives together. Yet he knows that he can set her back if he does that. And Leah is so oblivious to how her being alive is impacting the ones around her.
Robin/Max : Um ... Max is reminding me of his mother by locking his object of his affection in the room with him. I wonder how Robin will react to this act ?
Trenyce/Andrew : Trenyce is trying to get through to her once son although it is two steps forward and one step back with him. I liked that Andrew admitted to telling Lopez that he overheard Chris threatening Frederick. I hope Andrew gets more exposure onto the canvas soon. I did like when he ran into Paige a couple episodes ago.
Chris/Helen : If Helen is considering taking her mother's advice about Chris, then you know she has some second thoughts about her relationship with Chris and her devotion to her only daughter -Dawn. I'm sure that Chris will have people in his corner and people who question his motives of possibly murdering Frederick.
Simona Lopez : I know she found her evidence to charge Chris. But maybe I'm missing something here ? Did the gun match the one that wounded Frederick ?
I will be following along with these dallies.
Great start so far .

Hey, Dallas !!!
I caught up with the second daily. My overall thoughts
Poor Natasha ! Who knew that slipping on some ice with cause a forever complication for her not being able to carry another child ? In a way it does make sense due to her history of falling down the stairs causing her to lose the baby. I'm sure she will not take this lying down. I'm quite impressed that she remembered Cassie not being involved in the accident.
Meanwhile, Adam has some good timing on him when it comes to Robin and Max's " Private Time " Max is so devoted to make Robin to fall for him. However, she does not seem interested in him as a partner. I did like how you incorporate her feeling trapped like when she was in the mental facility for a year or so. I'm sure Robin and Adam will grow closer in the meantime which will definitely make Max up his game.
It's great to read Chris being center of a romantic relationship. He is absolutely scared of what is going to happen if he gets charged for Frederick's death. I figured Trenyce would be a sounding board for him as this story moves forward.
Leah remembers everything ? I wonder how will this impact everyone around her. Especially Eva who has the most to lose if the secret comes about her conspiring with Frederick.
I hope Meggan doesn't go back to the bottle. I mean Jeff is still in love with his ex , and her father did a lot of heinous things to the community. As well as him being murdered.
I'm glad that Paige and Dawn have reconnected. I had to laugh when Paige told her not to give any more romantic advice.
Jemma is also on the soap opera two steps forward one step back train as she tries to start over with her daughter. Yet Daisy wants to take it slow by not letting her move back into the mansion. Vinny remains a supportive husband. Daisy is still reeling from being a product of rape to having her Aunt being her own mother and her father being a horrible human being.

Hooray for dailies! I love having something to read with my morning coffee each day as I wake up.
I was pleasantly surprised that Natasha admitted that Cassie didn't push or otherwise try to harm her. I was sure this would wind up being an ironic case of "the one time Cassie isn't guilty, everyone is accusing her." Also did NOT expect that twist about Natasha's fertility. I wonder how that will motivate her going forward. It really does cement her bond with Shane, though, as the only man who'll ever be the father of a child for her. Speaking of Shane, he is officially the stupidest person in Twin Peaks. Cassie "would never" harm Natasha?! That's like her entire character history! I get that he's warming to her, but he is a real idiot to disregard even the possibility of her doing something malicious.
I liked that we got to see Paige and Dawn catching up, though I'm a little thrown off by the lack of follow-up on Dawn kissing Shelley. Have Paige and Dawn been in touch this whole time? It wasn't clear if Paige knows who Dawn is staying with, etc., and I want to know what Dawn thinks and feels about that kiss, as well as how Shelley reacted. However, I did like seeing the friends catch up, and I laughed at Paige insisting that Dawn give her no more advice. At least someone in this town learns a lesson! LOL.
Things are not looking good for Chris. Like Bre, I was wondering about the gun. Couldn't the cops pretty easily determine whether Chris's gun matches the one used to shoot Frederick? That seems like a crucial part of the case, and also much more important than trying to figure out whether gun residue on Chris's gloves from a gun he legally owns (and admitting to shooting recently) has anything to do with the Frederick case. Simona, I tell ya...
I didn't at all expect Leah to have a memory flash, but I loved that! Good twist. I wonder how much she'll be getting back now. Eva's time definitely looks limited, at least as far as maintaining her cover goes.
Can't wait to see what happens the rest of the week!

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by so early into the week! Natasha stays in the hospital and I liked that Adam found her as well as Cory being at the hospital. Both of her suitors showed up as well as Cassie who looks like she might be blamed for this incident. In which for the first time in her life Cassie hadn't been malicious. Poor Natasha ! Who knew that slipping on some ice with cause a forever complication for her not being able to carry another child ? In a way it does make sense due to her history of falling down the stairs causing her to lose the baby. I'm sure she will not take this lying down. I'm quite impressed that she remembered Cassie not being involved in the accident. I was pleasantly surprised that Natasha admitted that Cassie didn't push or otherwise try to harm her. I was sure this would wind up being an ironic case of "the one time Cassie isn't guilty, everyone is accusing her." Also did NOT expect that twist about Natasha's fertility. I wonder how that will motivate her going forward. It really does cement her bond with Shane, though, as the only man who'll ever be the father of a child for her. Speaking of Shane, he is officially the stupidest person in Twin Peaks. Cassie "would never" harm Natasha?! That's like her entire character history! I get that he's warming to her, but he is a real idiot to disregard even the possibility of her doing something malicious. I think everyone knew Natasha wouldn't be seriously hurt, I mean it was just ice lol. But yes, she has been in the hospital her share of times. This element of the story is key for what is coming up in the very near future. I like some of the scenes coming up where she has to tell other people what has happened. When I was planning out this arch, I didn't even think that Natasha could have falsely accused Cassie of harming her, that would have been really good! And yes, Shane is being a little dumb witted right now. He's very much the Austin Reed of ODaaT right now lol. Robbie/Leah/Jeff/Paige/Victoria : I like the affect of Leah's resurrection is on her loved ones and foes. Robbie is torn between his past (Leah) and his future (Victoria). Meanwhile, Paige is still not in favor for Robbie to be with Vicky wanting the family she once had together again by any means necessary. Jeff seems he wants to shake his wife so she can remember their lives together. Yet he knows that he can set her back if he does that. And Leah is so oblivious to how her being alive is impacting the ones around her. Leah remembers everything ? I wonder how will this impact everyone around her. Especially Eva who has the most to lose if the secret comes about her conspiring with Frederick. I hope Meggan doesn't go back to the bottle. I mean Jeff is still in love with his ex , and her father did a lot of heinous things to the community. As well as him being murdered. I didn't at all expect Leah to have a memory flash, but I loved that! Good twist. I wonder how much she'll be getting back now. Eva's time definitely looks limited, at least as far as maintaining her cover goes. This is a messy story, for sure, just because so many people have various feelings that are being impacted. It's fun watching everyone react to Leah being back, and Leah having no clue what is actually going on around her. As for her memory, time will tell what she remembered, and how much she remembered. This plays out the rest of the week and will have some fun, soapy, cliff hangers that don't always pick up where the previous episode left off. Robin/Max : Um ... Max is reminding me of his mother by locking his object of his affection in the room with him. I wonder how Robin will react to this act ? Meanwhile, Adam has some good timing on him when it comes to Robin and Max's " Private Time " Max is so devoted to make Robin to fall for him. However, she does not seem interested in him as a partner. I did like how you incorporate her feeling trapped like when she was in the mental facility for a year or so. I'm sure Robin and Adam will grow closer in the meantime which will definitely make Max up his game. Yes! The reason that Max is so fun to write is because he is a chip off Cassie's shoulder; I'm making him have an edge and sort of willing to push the boundaries to get what he wants. This story is fun because Adam and Max both want Robin; Robin only wants Max, but Adam is desperately trying to impress Max so they have a solid relationship again. The story is just getting started, so if Max is willing to lock himself and Robin in the dark room together, what else will he do? Trenyce/Andrew : Trenyce is trying to get through to her once son although it is two steps forward and one step back with him. I liked that Andrew admitted to telling Lopez that he overheard Chris threatening Frederick. I hope Andrew gets more exposure onto the canvas soon. I did like when he ran into Paige a couple episodes ago. Chris/Helen : If Helen is considering taking her mother's advice about Chris, then you know she has some second thoughts about her relationship with Chris and her devotion to her only daughter -Dawn. I'm sure that Chris will have people in his corner and people who question his motives of possibly murdering Frederick. Simona Lopez : I know she found her evidence to charge Chris. But maybe I'm missing something here ? Did the gun match the one that wounded Frederick ? Things are not looking good for Chris. Like Bre, I was wondering about the gun. Couldn't the cops pretty easily determine whether Chris's gun matches the one used to shoot Frederick? That seems like a crucial part of the case, and also much more important than trying to figure out whether gun residue on Chris's gloves from a gun he legally owns (and admitting to shooting recently) has anything to do with the Frederick case. Simona, I tell ya... Yes, poor Chris in a tough pickle. I'm pretty sure there's a scene coming up with the gun being addressed, where Simona mentions it is the same type of bullet that shot Frederick. I love the element of Helen having this new relationship with this man, who she is now wondering how well she really know. Barbara and her connection to Dawn are pulling her in a different direction, which is fun for Helen. And Andrew is still a conflicted young man. He knows the truth about Frederick, but when you grow up hearing that people are bad/evil, it sticks with you. So, he's still lashing out at Trenyce and more so, Chris. I'm glad that Paige and Dawn have reconnected. I had to laugh when Paige told her not to give any more romantic advice. I liked that we got to see Paige and Dawn catching up, though I'm a little thrown off by the lack of follow-up on Dawn kissing Shelley. Have Paige and Dawn been in touch this whole time? It wasn't clear if Paige knows who Dawn is staying with, etc., and I want to know what Dawn thinks and feels about that kiss, as well as how Shelley reacted. However, I did like seeing the friends catch up, and I laughed at Paige insisting that Dawn give her no more advice. At least someone in this town learns a lesson! LOL. I've really been trying to add more of these "community" type moments into ODaaT, where it is just friends or family members getting together to catch up. It had been awhile since Dawn and Paige were together, so I threw them in there together. Dawn is still coming to terms with what is happening with her and Shelley, so she isn't really discussing it with anyone right now. Those conversations will happen with time, and with some more therapy with Cassie (which could be a good thing or a bad thing LOL). Jemma is also on the soap opera two steps forward one step back train as she tries to start over with her daughter. Yet Daisy wants to take it slow by not letting her move back into the mansion. Vinny remains a supportive husband. Daisy is still reeling from being a product of rape to having her Aunt being her own mother and her father being a horrible human being. This is another one of my favorite stories because there are so many emotions going on with Daisy and Jemma. Jemma is like "I was raped, I'm your mother", but Daisy is struggling with how she was conceived and the lie of it all. It is tapping into a different side of Daisy that I haven't really got to explore before, which is always fun. Thank you both for reading and leaving some comments – I appreciate it! I hope you enjoy the rest of the week! Dallas |

Hey, Dallas !
I must say this has been my favorite episode of the dallies so far. A lot of stories have ramped up in this one.
Chris is arrested : WHOA ... I did not expect Chris to be arrested by Simona in this episode. I liked how you crafter most of the other suspects at the restaurant too. Perhaps the killer is still among Lukas , Meggan , Daisy , Vinny , Treynce , Andrew , and Jemma. Helen however seemed embarrassed to be with Chris when he was taken in by Simona as she watches her lover getting arrested. I bet Barbara will have something to say about this , in addition to her own reservations about dating Chris and how it still affects Dawn.
Daisy and Family : At least Daisy is trying to make an effort when it comes to getting to know her half siblings , in spite of being their father raping Jemma which led to her and the departed Danielle being born. I'm surprised that Lukas didn't fly off the handle about coming. And Meggan and Vinny seemed as if they were trying to keep the peace. Meanwhile, it must hurt Jemma to see her daughter attempting to bond with her brother and sister. Yet she is doing her best to try and forge a relationship again and Daisy isn't willing. I did like Trenyce and Jemma together and Jemma spotting her granddaughter/great-niece has feelings for Chris.
Eva/Felicia/Dominick/Leah : I'm glad you clarified that Leah doesn't exactly have her full memory but knows that Eva is keeping the secret. I cannot wait to found out how Dom is going to take the news about his wife lying. Eva had some nerve trying to see if Felicia was taking her medicine or not I mean Eva you conspired with Frederick for crying aloud. I did like Eva and Victoria catching up BTW Ii like the development of the Robertson Boutique. I always like a new set in a serious for the most part.
Cory/Natasha : Natasha's infertility impacting her relationship with Cory will be interesting since he always wanted a kid. First he loses the baby he had with Robin and was lied to by Melissa that she was pregnant. Even though they're in the infancy of their relationship it might possibly affect both of them down the road.
Bob/Kim/Tyler : Surprisingly , I thought Bob would receive the email of the sex video of Kim and Tyler. I was taken back when it was just an message about Robertson's second line of the facial cream. Kim is way over head when it comes to trying to keep everything from her husband. Tyler is relentless when it comes to his love. It seems he was trying to infuriate her and turn her on at the same time. I'm wondering how she will get out of this mess.
Great Episode

Hey, Dallas ! I must say this has been my favorite episode of the dallies so far. A lot of stories have ramped up in this one. Hey, thanks! I think these feel different because I'm not focusing on one plot point (eg. a party, or Frederick's murder, or the Santa Barbara arch), so many stories are moving forward with this week of dailies! Chris is arrested : WHOA ... I did not expect Chris to be arrested by Simona in this episode. I liked how you crafter most of the other suspects at the restaurant too. Perhaps the killer is still among Lukas , Meggan , Daisy , Vinny , Treynce , Andrew , and Jemma. Helen however seemed embarrassed to be with Chris when he was taken in by Simona as she watches her lover getting arrested. I bet Barbara will have something to say about this , in addition to her own reservations about dating Chris and how it still affects Dawn. Yes, my goal was to have a lot of the major players in the story at the restaurant while he was arrested, it felt soapy that way. Helen's reaction will be fun to see going forward, and of course, we will see if/how Chris can get out of this situation. Daisy and Family : At least Daisy is trying to make an effort when it comes to getting to know her half siblings , in spite of being their father raping Jemma which led to her and the departed Danielle being born. I'm surprised that Lukas didn't fly off the handle about coming. And Meggan and Vinny seemed as if they were trying to keep the peace. Meanwhile, it must hurt Jemma to see her daughter attempting to bond with her brother and sister. Yet she is doing her best to try and forge a relationship again and Daisy isn't willing. I did like Trenyce and Jemma together and Jemma spotting her granddaughter/great-niece has feelings for Chris. One of things I wanted to show was that just because these adults realize that they are family, doesn't mean that they will like one another or get along. The tension between Lukas and Daisy was relevant in that. Jemma is a straight shooter, she doesn't really beat around the bush, so her telling Trenyce about her feelings for Chris was her doing just that. Trenyce needed to hear that from someone she trusts, who isn't Daisy (awkward because Daisy is Chris' ex-wife!). I'm glad these beats worked for you. Eva/Felicia/Dominick/Leah : I'm glad you clarified that Leah doesn't exactly have her full memory but knows that Eva is keeping the secret. I cannot wait to found out how Dom is going to take the news about his wife lying. Eva had some nerve trying to see if Felicia was taking her medicine or not I mean Eva you conspired with Frederick for crying aloud. I did like Eva and Victoria catching up BTW Ii like the development of the Robertson Boutique. I always like a new set in a serious for the most part. Yes, Leah's full memory hasn't returned, just this one aspect of it returned. The big question now is, what exactly did Leah remember, and how will Dominick react to it? Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode. And yes, the boutique is a fun new set that will play a key role in the facial cream/Robertson Enterprises vs. Roboto story line, especially after the fall out of the upcoming ice storm. Cory/Natasha : Natasha's infertility impacting her relationship with Cory will be interesting since he always wanted a kid. First he loses the baby he had with Robin and was lied to by Melissa that she was pregnant. Even though they're in the infancy of their relationship it might possibly affect both of them down the road. Yes, poor Cory with his history of babies, and now Natasha can't give him one. These two have been through a lot together, so it will be interesting to see how they handle this. Bob/Kim/Tyler : Surprisingly , I thought Bob would receive the email of the sex video of Kim and Tyler. I was taken back when it was just an message about Robertson's second line of the facial cream. Kim is way over head when it comes to trying to keep everything from her husband. Tyler is relentless when it comes to his love. It seems he was trying to infuriate her and turn her on at the same time. I'm wondering how she will get out of this mess. Great Episode Bbre So much stuff is coming up in this storyline. There is Tyler trying to get back with Kim; Kim trying to decide how she is going to react to this mess; and there is Bob, who is in the dark about what Kim has done to the company and their marriage, and his quest to beat Robertson Enterprises. There's a lot on the line. I'm hoping you'll enjoy how this plays out in the up coming episodes. Thanks again for reading, Bre! I appreciate you taking the time to keep up with the episodes all week!

Hey Dallas !!!
Shane/Cassie/Cory/Natasha : I'm not sure Shane should be so trusting of possibly seeing Cassie in some romantic light because lets remember she was once the craziest woman that reign in Twin Peaks. Meanwhile it is quite surprising to see Cory proposing to Natasha so fast after a few months of dating. I'm sensing that their relationship isn't going to be smooth sailing. I believe Natasha is still in love with Shane in spite of their divorce and they do share Jacob. Cannot wait to find out everyone else reactions to the quad's recent life developments.
Daisy/Jemma : I swear Jemma Davenport is psychic. It seems everytime Daisy is someplace , she pops up wanting to forge a relationship with her daughter. I liked how Daisy was suspecting that she might know something more that she isn't telling about Chris being arrested yesterday. I wish we saw Chris POV in jail although that will be probably being coming in the next episode. It is evident that Daisy isn't ready for seeing her aunt as her mother despite acknowledging it.
Dominick/Eva : Oh Hell !!! Dominick knows everything. I liked the confrontation between the two of them about Eva's conspiring with Frederick. I know that Eva is not going to give up her marriage so easily. I'm assuming either she will blackmail Felicia to help her get Dominick on her side or she will that she is not taking her medicine or perhaps Leah whom she promises to restore her full memory in exchange to also convince her dad to reconsider ending their marriage. Either way this storyline is finally getting some heat.
Congrats to you Dallas , I know with dallies it is difficult to consistently post them daily. But you did a great job at it and it is easier to jump start other stories as well.
Great Episode

Love that this was a long episode to wrap the week!
That Dominick/Eva confrontation was a long time coming, and I like how cold he got with her. We haven't seen that Dominick in a while. Like Bre, I wonder if Eva has some other trick up her sleeve, or Dominick and Felicia will now reunite. I feel bad for Eva, in a way. All she did was... find out something and not immediately put a stop to it. I feel like she could've denied that WAY harder, especially given how fragile Leah's memory is. It's almost like she was relieved to have it out in the open.
Shane remains the biggest idiot in Twin Peaks, but I was grateful that he and Cassie finally discussed the past and people's perception of her. This kind of reminds me of when Kristen returned to Days in 2012. Plenty of people were sure she was still batshit crazy, but she put on a good show for a while and got Brady on her side. I still feel like it's only a matter of time before Cassie crosses the line somehow. I did NOT expect Cory and Natasha to get engaged so fast! Since they have a history and have reconnected, it makes sense, but it does feel like they're both rushing back into this to smooth over the wounds of their recent pasts. I don't think Natasha is over Shane at all, especially given her recent reactions to seeing Shane with Cassie.
I was hoping to see some follow-up on Chris's arrest in this episode. I know it's tough because you (well, all of us, as webseries producers) have such limited "screentime" to work with, but the lack of follow-up on things can be really jarring to me. You had observers talking about Chris's arrest, which helped, and I liked how you used it to spin off suspicion for both Lukas and Jemma. But it felt like things lost a lot of urgency because he's just languishing offscreen somewhere. Same with Dawn/Shelley. We still don't know what actually happened there or what the dynamic is like between them at Shelley's place, which feels really disorienting. Did they make out for a long time? Did Shelley push her away? Are they talking? Sometimes I get the sense that I've missed a scene entirely.
Excited for the Ice Storm! How soon does that begin?
Congratulations on a fun "February sweeps"!

Hey guys – thanks for your patience! The inlaws left this morning – it's nice to have the house back. Shane/Cassie/Cory/Natasha : I'm not sure Shane should be so trusting of possibly seeing Cassie in some romantic light because lets remember she was once the craziest woman that reign in Twin Peaks. Meanwhile it is quite surprising to see Cory proposing to Natasha so fast after a few months of dating. I'm sensing that their relationship isn't going to be smooth sailing. I believe Natasha is still in love with Shane in spite of their divorce and they do share Jacob. Cannot wait to find out everyone else reactions to the quad's recent life developments.

I still feel like it's only a matter of time before Cassie crosses the line somehow. I did NOT expect Cory and Natasha to get engaged so fast! Since they have a history and have reconnected, it makes sense, but it does feel like they're both rushing back into this to smooth over the wounds of their recent pasts. I don't think Natasha is over Shane at all, especially given her recent reactions to seeing Shane with Cassie. Shane is being a little forgetful about what happened in the past with Cassie, for sure. He believes that she has changed, which may cost him down the road. Cory and Natasha getting engaged was fast, but after her fall and her medical condition, I thought it was nice for him to make that commitment to her. This is a soap, so who knows how long it will last. There are some fun twists coming up that I don't think anyone will see coming. Dominick/Eva : Oh Hell !!! Dominick knows everything. I liked the confrontation between the two of them about Eva's conspiring with Frederick. I know that Eva is not going to give up her marriage so easily. I'm assuming either she will blackmail Felicia to help her get Dominick on her side or she will that she is not taking her medicine or perhaps Leah whom she promises to restore her full memory in exchange to also convince her dad to reconsider ending their marriage. Either way this storyline is finally getting some heat. That Dominick/Eva confrontation was a long time coming, and I like how cold he got with her. We haven't seen that Dominick in a while. Like Bre, I wonder if Eva has some other trick up her sleeve, or Dominick and Felicia will now reunite. I feel bad for Eva, in a way. All she did was... find out something and not immediately put a stop to it. I feel like she could've denied that WAY harder, especially given how fragile Leah's memory is. It's almost like she was relieved to have it out in the open. This secret needed to come out because it had been since last May that Eva got what she wanted with marrying Dominick. Once Frederick died, I did struggle with how this could be revealed, so putting Leah into the mix was fun because it sort of gave her something else to do outside of Jeff & Robbie. Dominick did turn cold on Eva quickly, which shows that he does still care about Felicia a great deal. And, remember, Felicia is still off her medication which will play a role in the story. Daisy/Jemma : I swear Jemma Davenport is psychic. It seems everytime Daisy is someplace , she pops up wanting to forge a relationship with her daughter. I liked how Daisy was suspecting that she might know something more that she isn't telling about Chris being arrested yesterday. I wish we saw Chris POV in jail although that will be probably being coming in the next episode. It is evident that Daisy isn't ready for seeing her aunt as her mother despite acknowledging it. The Daisy/Jemma relationship is fun to write and explore right now because of all the tension between them. Jemma just wants things back to normal, but will they ever get there? I'll address Chris below with Michael's comments! I was hoping to see some follow-up on Chris's arrest in this episode. I know it's tough because you (well, all of us, as webseries producers) have such limited "screentime" to work with, but the lack of follow-up on things can be really jarring to me. You had observers talking about Chris's arrest, which helped, and I liked how you used it to spin off suspicion for both Lukas and Jemma. But it felt like things lost a lot of urgency because he's just languishing offscreen somewhere. Same with Dawn/Shelley.

Did Shelley push her away? Are they talking? Sometimes I get the sense that I've missed a scene entirely. I hear what you're saying – the reason Chris wasn't featured in the next episode was because Natasha had to be freed up to be his lawyer. He was featured in the following episode. Dawn/Shelley is a very slow build story line. Dawn, in particular, will talk to Cassie more about the kiss and what that means. Then, with the ice storm, the story really takes a back seat until the storm is over! It can just be difficult to juggle so many stories in this type of format at times. Congrats to you Dallas , I know with dallies it is difficult to consistently post them daily. But you did a great job at it and it is easier to jump start other stories as well. Great Episode Excited for the Ice Storm! How soon does that begin? Congratulations on a fun "February sweeps"! Thanks so much for reading, I really appreciate it. I know that it can be challenging to keep up with the dailies! Ice Storm officially starts March 25th; the daily episodes for May sweeps will be the conclusion of the ice storm! Dallas |
