Both storylines are dull. For me it's the rich humour of the dialogue that I love and at present it it's just not there. There are some great characters in the cast, but the storylines of swapped babies at birth Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-4951134901710588632009-03-25T17:59:00.000+00:002009-03-25T17:59:00.000+00:00Good posts to you both above.
