I like this enterpritation of what could have happened. That would have been an interesting twist but a part of me thinks natalie is too in love with john to just let him go like that, although a part of me thinks he deserves it I just can't see her doing that. But this was very well written. Loved it.

Bravo! I would love if things went down like this on Monday's show. Honestly, if I were Natalie, I would have told John to take a flying leap off a bridge a LONG time ago. And I *am* a Jolie fan-just not this current version. Natalie needs to get her self-confidence back and John needs to figure out what he wants once and for all. So yes, I loved that you wrote a confident Natalie... that's how I love her. (And I also loved your little dig at Vangie's habit of eavesdropping. Hee-hee. That was great.)

Aww, that was so sad, but true. I hate that it was true, but I wish they would address this. Poor jolie, that was so heartbreaking.

This version works for me. I have to admit my faith in TIIC actually giving us Jolie is slowly starting to fade. sigh.. I like the fact that you are giving Nat her dignity back.

I turned the tv off after watching today's episode and thought-well, here's the train wreck called Jolie that's about to happen. But your story made me feel better-maybe Natalie will be her headstrong self that will put John in his place, because I'm not sure how much more I want to stay on the Jolie bandwagon.
