Message Board: Todd's Kidnapping (Soaps In Depth 2/1/05)

Here's your chance to tell the stars and producers what you really think!

Blair to the Rescue // Tammy S., Portales, NM
Who would have thought that perpetual damsel in distress Blair would so often wind up as Todd's knight in shining armor? First, she saved him from the fire at the community center, and now she has to save him from the fire-haired community psycho. I'm glad Blair's gotten her strength back, but did Todd have to lose his?

Crazy For You // Vanessa D., Baton Rouge, LA
Can someone please explain to me what Todd did to Margaret that made her so obsessed with him? I know they went on a handful of dates when he tried to use her against Kevin, but as I recall, he wasn't exactly Prince Charming. I find it hard to believe that she couldn't find anyone who would treat her better than Todd did. Well, then again, it is Llanview and she is nuts!

What's Love Got To Do With It? // Stella C., via E-mail
Forget about Cristian -- it's Blair who's been brainwashed. She thinks what she and Todd have is love when it's really just obsession. She's better off without him, and she should leave him to suffer in the cabin. You can have as many weddings as you want, but it won't convince me that their relationship is based on love.

Fun To Watch // Angela W., via E-mail
It's great to see someone be really good at being crazy again. Margaret may be psycho, but she sure is entertaining. Maybe the show should switch focus off Angel Square and onto St. Anne's! Between Addie, Allison, Margaret and (on occasion) Lindsay, there would never be a shortage of fun characters and off-the-wall stories.

Who's Runing The Asylum? // Shireen R., Crosby, ND
When Blair finds out what's really going on, she'd better pull Addie out of St. Anne's ASAP! Any institution that allows someone like Margaret to go free -- and encourages contact with her victims -- should be shut down immediately!

Bulletproof // Lauren L., via E-mail
It looks like three times might be the charm when it comes to shooting Todd. First, Asa shot him once, and he didn't even need a doctor. Then, when Margaret shot him twice, it took him weeks to make medical attention a necessity. That just leaves me with one question: When he had his plastic surgery, did it cost $6 million?

What Goes Around... // Annie D., via E-mail
When Margaret was talking about getting pregnant with Todd's baby, I hate to admit it, but I almost wanted her to force herself on him. It would be justice served if the rapist got raped.

This Time It's For Real // Corinne T., Denver, CO
It's so good to see Todd and Blair fight to be together. They've always struggled, usually with their own demons, but they've never fought with as much heart and love as they have recently. It gives me hope that this time, they really will make it.
