You ain't never had a fiend like Elly......

The interesting thing about the end of this current month of confused history is that from here on in, we don't really have to deal with reprints; what we do have to deal with is Elly's being a bad friend to Connie after her break-up with Ted. Instead of being remotely supportive, she let her need to share her opinion of Ted take precedence over the need to simply be a shoulder to lean on. The problem, of course, is that this is nothing new; since she doesn't ever seem to learn to keep her mouth shut or to look at a problem from someone else's viewpoint, she's sort of a poor choice to be a confidant. She demonstrated this decades later when Connie took a trip down memory lane and revealed that she still had a thing for Ted; rather than admit that her nemesis has good points she can't see, Elly clucked about how miserable she would have been.
