I think we might both agree on this one, eh Mike? Or have you warmed up to her since then? I still think of Joan in that role when I see her.

Well, I still really miss Joan, and obviously think that she's the better Gloria, but I must say that I like Judith a lot more now than when she first started. However, I still don't like Amelia as Victoria, and whatever her name is as Mac. I'll never get over how they screwed over Ashley Bashioum. I highly agree with JT and Mac as the most boring couple, mostly because I don't see this girl as Mac (the boring storyline doesn't help much either). I'd rather have Mac off the show than have her portrayed this way.
