Members marlenadlc Posted January 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 Thank you! I am so proud to have Damon and Patrick work with me. Understanding (for example, Damon's wonderful exploration of Katherine's pysche), great writing and independent thinking is what we all strive for at the site. Glad you like us!

Members All My Shadows Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 Interesting post. It's ironic that it was posted today, as only a few days ago I found that old Y&R episode with Katherine and Phillip on YouTube. Perfect example of Kay being vulnerable Kay.
