...overweight then and always unhappy in love. "I would sit on Jack's lap and pour out my heart to him," she says. For sustenance they would go to the supermarket for some "sweeties and souries"-ice cream and potato chips-and gorge between traumas.

This show has been five and a half years too long; hopefully the management will close it down real soon...
