I loved Alan-Michael while not wanting him with Eleni -- Rick Hearst was so good and really found the soul beneath all the mechanations, which was always the key to playing a Spaulding.

Roger and Maureen would NEVER have worked as a relationship but it would've been awesome "we hate Ed" sex. I never could get into Ed, even though he was generally well-acted. He was the one Bauer whose niceness/goodness we were always supposed to take on faith; his behavior never really matched up, and he lacked the wit that made other white-hat characters on GL shine. GL was actually very strong at creating "good" character who were never dull. Except Ed.
