I just asked in another thread where has Cokie been. I miss her. I must have missed the part you mentioned about Cokie asking if she could express an opinion different from Christiane's, but that sounds awesome! TeamCokie all the way! If I didn't love this show (previously) so much I would not even bother to write, I would just leave the show completely. I still have hope the network will see the problem and bring Jake back. I think we've lost George for good, but Jake was great and I miss him. Terribly.
