Flipping from one pbs to another and hey, hey what's with the new Belle? Left if for a whole minute. She's a temp, right? I don't like her for Belle.

Nope, I heard that Kirsten Storm is gone to do other things
I don't like her either. I hope that she gets better soon. She is really bad. She doesn't seem like she is natural. Almost forced if you know what I mean.

I don't like her either. She just acts like she is standing there reading lines from a prompter or something.

It just gets better! I just talked to a friend on the phone and after not having watched for over a month, THEY'RE NOT DEAD? THEY'RE...

ON AN ISLAND? And not just any island. No, no. One that's been recreated to look like Salem except for that pesky force field so they can't escape. I'm so glad it's Friday because I would have to watch tomorrow just to look at it so the reality of drug addicts writing television can have its full impact.

And the Jennifer and the Jack... and Patrick.
Ouch. My head hurts.

Ahh, yes, you must have missed a thread we had going a while back about this whole stupid "Captive Island" storyline. I couldn't wait for the serial killer storyline to end, but now I think that was better than this whole captive island thing.

OK, I couldn't resist-- I had to do some surfing about this topic.

Here's what I found on the SoapNet site:

Belles Are Ringing
Starting on-air August 10th, the role of "Belle" will be portrayed by Martha Anne Madison. Martha began work July 20th.

"The producers felt that the full potential of the role was not being realized and decided it was better to make a change sooner rather than later."

And here's her going away party:

Well, obviously the dates aren't right, but that's all the site said.

The official NBC site didn't say anything at all.

I had heard a few months ago she was leaving to do another (I think it would be the third one or maybe the fourth one) Zenon movie for disney. I also heard that the actor that played Shawn wanted to do other stuff as well.
