Has anyone else felt that St. Elsewhere is changing?
Last nights (2/29/84) episode was too soapish. The
rape stuff has been very powerful (in true SE tradition),
but I feel that the characters have been going through
more personal troubles than normal. I mean in the last
two weeks there has been rape, divorce (maybe), and
a possiblity of murder (Where is Kathy Martin? The weird
pathologist).

I hope the show goes back to normal now that the ratings
sweep month is over. Even though the stories are different
I still think the writing is excellent.
