THE FIGHT TO SAVE BO AND CARLY



















The battle's still to keep Bo and Carly together;
posts, votes, tweets, fan made montages and emails to NBC from
loyal Carbo fans. And it won't be over until the apparently stubborn (or heartless) producer and the DAYS writing team stop with the nonsense and face the fact that the Carbos will NOT be silenced.

Carbos' general demands as as follows: 

-That Bo and Carly be finally free to have a wedding at last(which means Bo must be officially divorced from Hope)
-That Bo and Carly get married in Mexico; where they had their symbolic wedding back in 1991- at the El Castillio.
-That Bo and Carly have a long term love story: they only had three years together as opposed to Bo's twenty  five years with Hope
-That (and very important) Bo and Carly have a child together; Carly has a son and daughter from two different men, Bo has four- three from Hope(one sadly deceased) and one from Billie Reed.
-That any child of Bo and Carly will be raised by them and NOT stolen, switched or killed.- Zach was switched then killed, Chelsea was raised by another couple, Ciara was kidnapped, Nicholas was stolen and raised by Carly's enemy Vivian and Mel was forcibly given up and raised by a pig who pimped her out.

Days Of Our Lives is the only daytime soap left in NBC and marking its 45th anniversary this year and if the executive producer, Ken Corday (I call him K.C when referring to him in other sites) don't want to experience DAYS early demise; he HAS to wake up and listen; Carly and Bo have MANY fans, Carly is far more popular than Hope- her breakup with Bo back in 1993 broke a lot of hearts and a lot of people(including me) stopped watching. I was shocked last year when I read she was coming back and started watching DAYS again and she's the reason why most viewers have resumed watching it.
 Right now, I can't stand the ridiculous storyline; Carly and Bo have fallen in love all over again to Hope's chagrin(I'm usually on the side of the wife but this time she's to blame; she's the one who walked out of her matrimonial home in the first place). Hope decided to deal with the matter by taking some questionable sleeping pills which gave her a multiple personality and she began attacking and mugging several guys- the D.A, Mayor Carver, E.J Di Mera, her nephew Brady, her in law Justin Kiriakis and her brother in law Roman. But the grand finale was attacking Bo himself by first drugging him then dosing him with petrol but luckily he was rescued before she could set him on fire and well... you can imagine the panic Carly was in.
To cut a long story short; Bo got a confession from Hope after Ciara and Theo mentioned the stolen wallets by video taping her during her 'dark state' (when she almost stabbed him) then played it for her when she switched back to normal Hope. She's behind bars now, determined to pay for her crimes and the whole of Salem blame Bo and Carly's affair as the reason for Hope's breakdown. Once again; 'poor little Hope'... oh, boo , hoo!!!(PAH!)
Bo blames himself, Carly blames herself and urged him to focus on helping Hope and Ciara as they were 'family'. Bo thanked her for her understanding and hugged her- after they voiced their love for each other, sadly.
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT- because it looked like they were saying good bye which gave me a lot of withdrawals- I didn't start watching DAYS again only to get disappointed; if they split Carly and Bo for good- I'm never watching it again and so says other viewers. It's really NOT fair at all; 16 years apart and their being treated to a lousy story line after everything they've been cheated of; it's annoying, frustrating and ridiculous and I won't be surprised if DAYS ratings haven't started dropping already.
But if KC persists, the Carbos are determined to continue the fight, against him and the Bopes. So, BRING IT ON, THIS COUPLE'S WORTH SAVING!!!

BO & CARLY SHOULD STAY!!!


www.theprincessandthesailor.yuku.com is filled with devout Carbo fans( including yours truly) who wish that Bo and Carly- reunited after 16 years apart- stay together and are prepared to do anything to make that happen.  Right now we have reasons to be nervous because- one, the DAYS writers are involving Carly a tad too much in the Dan/Chloe storyline rather than focus on her and Bo's fresh start and also there's a rumor buzzing in the Princess & the Sailor community  that the Carbos are NOT going to be very happy.
                                                                                   I have to admit, the producers and the writers are not putting in their best right now; keeping us in suspense  about the fate of Bo and Carly- especially since their love story has been revived after so long . You would think that this two, drawn together out of loneliness and unhappiness , would be given a happy ending considering Carly's return was so unexpected to begin with. Bo is the man she's truly been in love with and Bo is obviously very happy with her; just like he was back in the day.


The writers should therefore stop all this foolishness and give  "the princess and the sailor" a proper fresh start and storyline that involves climbing the Castello in Mexico where they had their symbolic Mayan wedding and give them a properly  officiated ceremony. I have a  very strong feeling if Bo and Carly split, there would definitely be a lot of sulky Carbos, not to mention a sheer drop in ratings!

THE RICH ALSO CRY: REMAKE!!!

My first reaction on discovering this was shock, who on earth could top Veronica Castro and Rogelio Guerra as Marianna and Luis Alberto respsectively; especially since, according to the comments to my post , people are still crazy for the original. Speaking of which, if you're interested in buying this telenovela ONLINE, follow this link: THE RICH ALSO CRY DVD 






















The remake is entitled  MARIA LA DEL BARRIO,(roughly translated as Maria of the Borough) starring Mexican singer  Thalia as  Maria and   actor Fernando Colunga (Esmeralda,  La Usurpadora) as Luis Fernando and first released in 1995, produced by Televisa.  Unlike the 1979 original, Maria Hernandez is no lost heiress but a 15 year old homeless girl on the streets who is taken in by a priest and handed over to a rich man in the parish to work as a maid but as we all know, the man, Don Fernando de la Vega had other ideas; he legally adopted her as his daughter - much to his wife's (Victoria) and niece's(Soraya) horror; arranging for her education and so on. Along came the spoilt, drunken son,  Luis Fernando who at first tried to seduce the young and beautiful Maria but ended up falling in love with her and changing his ways.
Which of course didn't sit well with Soraya  but after a long battle for who gets to be Mrs. de la Vega, Luis Fernando & Maria became man and wife but alas, all hell broke lose after he caught his brother Vladimir hugging her and assumed the worse- refusing to believe the child she was carrying was his. Maria had  a nervous breakdown and gave up their son, named Fernandito, up for adoption. A little girl was adopted after she got better, but of course Maria constantly worried about Fernandito. Worse, Soraya came back to the household bent on revenge against Maria by using Fernandito against her. But of course, like all telenovelas, the wicked are overcome and the good end up living in peace.
        

VERDICT???? : I PREFER THE ORIGINAL, HANDS DOWN.

THE INFORMATION OFFICER by Mark Mills
At last, the everyday fighting men who were the first Americans to know the full and horrifying truth about the Holocaust share their astonishing stories. Rich with powerful never-before-published details from the author's interviews with more than 150 U.S. soldiers who liberated the Nazi death camps, The Liberators is an essential addition to the literature of World War II—and a stirring testament to Allied courage in the face of inconceivable atrocities. The liberators' recollections are historically important, vivid, riveting, heartbreaking, and, on rare occasions, joyous and uplifting. This book is their opportunity, perhaps for the last time, to tell the world.
