Mary Worth 3999

It sounds like Jared is about to be written out of this series. It makes me kind of sad, really. I could almost tolerate Dawn when Jared was with her. He didn't remind me of Dave, not at all.

Reminds me of the young Steve Martin, at least his face.

Is Mary going to urge Wilbur to make things right with Iris?

The David to Dawn: ‘Dawn, my eyes are up here.’

Odd that Mary used a phrase like "Bad Blood", which seems more typical of a Mafia godfather than a meddling busybody. I looked up the origin of the phrase, and it's first use was in 1664, which may explain why it is in Mary's lexicon. This is one of those days when I wish Nance were here to caption a bold-face haiku from the words "Change, Moved on, Not, Right, and No bad blood" I can just imagine.

Dawn, he dumped you almost immediately for the first girl who would talk to him (keeping in mind she was bedridden). I wouldn't go too far out of your way to make things "right".

So why is Dawn even feeling bad about Jared dumping her? She said that she found his vast knowledge about trivia boring and his eidetic memory irritating, her attraction to good looking passers-by meant that she didn't find him physically attractive (can't blame you there, girl), it couldn't have been his wealth (duct-taped car and crappy apartment). Maybe he reminded her of Dave?

Jared will make a cameo appearance in a few years as a successful science-fiction writer — “I owe it all to the love of my wife, Jess” — which will trigger a three-month story arc about Dawn’s low self-esteem, and how appropriate it is for her.

Dawn only feels bad because she wanted to be the dumper, not the dumpee.
