Even though I was very young and very much a Bo and Hope fan, I loved the character of Carly Manning. I thought she and Bo were hot together and I liked how she set up the drama between Bo and Victor. Of course, she brought along Vivian and Ivan so I give her props for that too. Oh God! How my life will be complete if Vivian and Ivan are back in Salem! Now, Viv buried Carly alive but I think we all know that was just the herbs and not our favorite, delightfully cooky, Eurotrash aunt.
I’m a little nervous about Carly coming back though, since she will either:
- assume the Billie role of acting as a non-obstacle for Bo and Hope,
- be the latest notch in Daniel’s bed post or
- come back in a blaze of glory only to be reduced to backburner status months later, much like Kayla
Speaking of which, with Carly in the picture, we’ll have three doctors: Daniel, Lexie and Carly. That’s one too many (or perhaps two, since Daniel is a jack of all specialties). You heard it here first: I predict that Lexie will lose her medical license (again) in six months. It’s time.

Yes, I’m gonna be excited about this too though I worry she’ll get the “Billie” treatment and her relationship with Bo will be reduced to a mere distraction because Hope was “dead”.
Dare I say I think she and Daniel would be hot? Course, he’s already the manwhore of Salem.
