Anything that brings Babs back from the dark side is OK with me.  She's a
terrific actress, but the writers have her backed into a very tight corner
right now.  Perhaps a romance with Walker, a man she can learn to trust and
believe in (and, more importantly, who believes in her), is what she needs
to bring her back.  As you say, she'd actually have a life of her own and
wouldn't obsess so much over her children's lives.
