'I think I need time away from us"

AAAAAARGHHHH! AS THE WORLD TURNS is going to be gut-wrenching today!
As for Monday's episode, I am surprised how much I enjoyed Cole's return. I think this is because we are now being encouraged to be against Sofie, where before we were supposed to sympathize with her. Now anyone who can cause trouble for Sofie is automatically fun to watch, because Sofie is hateful and deserves punishment from all sides. Loved Barbara laying into her and realizing how wacked Sofie is. Also found Jon Prescott to be settling nicely into the role of Mike.
