You have a real talent for it though, and it must be even harder when you're trying to link a story together week after week. <br /><br />So, David isn't going to come between them from beyond the grave? Or is there going to be a suprise at the funeral / reading of the will? I need to go back and re-read some of the segments. I keep getting muddled up between Chrissy and Charlotte!
