Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe took back her own storyline, which is pretty bold when the creator's already written his version.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFor everyone except the memoir.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOoh. The BBN Drama Index gives this a seven, because she answered in her own words and nobody had to dig.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSeven. I'd knock a point off for the word mysterious.
