Been a fan since I was a young teen, I'm 55 now. Even through my years of raising children & now grandchildren, working full time, I still tried to keep up with the show & who was coming & going. Retired now, watching the show on the regular its like I never missed a day. The story lines of the characters are always interesting. My one complaint.... STOP the Ryan/Kevin story line,,, PLEASE! And for the sake of the sanity of your viewers,,, give Franco a break already! LoL. Would love to see him & Elizabeth get married & have some peace in their lives for sweet change. Ok... rant over.
