"Lovin' Spoonful"
By Rose

I think I finally understand why Manny have become so sugary ... for the purposes of this post just go with me on that assessment .... The reason for the "sugar, sugar" is clear ... Mary Poppins is hard at work here, and as we all know, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and Guiding Light viewers are being asked to "swallow" quite a bit in the Princess Catheva story line.

To wit, we are supposed to believe:

1. Reva is so desirable that no man can know her without being consumed by the need to KNOW her ... in the biblical sense. And she has moved up from gorgeous wealthy business tycoons to royalty ... "I'll see your four tycoons and raise you one Sovereign Ruler."

2. Reva is still so desirable (see above) that she is in no way too long in the tooth for the Cliff/Jack/ Peter Bergman's younger brother look-a-like cute stuff they have cast as Prince Richard.

3. Reva has come back from the dead, or the otherwise vamoosed, to ruin the hopes for wedded bliss of yet another of her rapidly growing circle of grieving husbands, and his blithely ignorant bride-to-be .... Can you say "Miss Mutton dressed up in Olivia Wolf clothes .... Or maybe Annie Redux?"

4. Kiss, kiss, mmmm, shoulder rub, "I love you", mmmm, kiss, kiss, "in every room of our own palace." See? Don't you immediately feel better? That's it, just one more little bitty bite ....

5. Reva has managed to survive not one, not two, but three, count them three, "adventures in the open sea;" two resulting in amnesia, and one in a clone. She must be getting better at it ... she managed to keep her wits about her when she landed on the island after the plane crash.

6. Reva, after fleeing, or being otherwise separated from her life as HRH Catherine, Princess of all Things, manages to be plucked from the briny deep, not by fisherman this time, but by Seminole Indian fisherman, who somehow direct the wit-less "Woman Who Knows Nothing" to a life as a healer in an Amish Community.

7. "Ummmm .... This, this is just perfect. It's real, you're real, we're real. Kiss, Kiss. I love you. No, I love you. Mmmmm." That's it, just a little more now. See, it's not so bad.

8. Reva, after being discovered in the Amish Community by Alan, does indeed recover her, as it now turns out, selective, memory of her precious children. Throughout the years, there has never been any teeny, tiny, glimmer of maybe a little something MISSING! Some earth mother she is.

9. Now, for one of the final, little bitty details that just makes me snort in disgust .... Somehow, somehow, after being washed ashore and rescued by Indians, living in a closed religious "plain" community that would eschew jewelry or body adornment of any kind, and after barely surviving a raging house fire that blinded Michelle and destroyed everything Reva owned ... Princess Catheva accidentally finds her official royal wedding ring, complete with a photo of Richard Jr., in the ATTIC ... in some old boxes? ... Did the jewelry fairy drop it off? Huh! I mean how the hel ....

10. ... shhhh, "The only prince this lady is interested in is her Prince." "Good. Mmm, Good �" kiss, kiss, big kiss, tongue, tongue? ... Mmmm, see, there, there. That's it ... now what was that you were saying?
