LINDSAY IS BOBBY SOUL MATE THEY CAN SHARE THEIR PRIVATE FEELINGS. HELEN AND HIM HAD SPARK BUT I JUST DONT SEE BOBBY BEING VERY OPEN TO HIS OWN PERSONAL FEELINGS WITH HER SHE A BIT COOL . AND AS FAR AS ALLY GOES HE GIVE A HUG AND BREAK EVERY BONE IN HER BODY. --FoxLea

Definitely Helen, they add spice to each others lives. --Melissa M

Hey! I'd like to vote for Bobby to be with Helen. My reason....hmmmm.... well, I really like Helen, I think she's a great character and Lara Flynn Boyle is pretty kewl. They were great together. Plus, she is the prettiest girl, and Dylan is the hottest guy (on Earth!), I think they make a better LOOKING couple. I just really miss them being together. So, put me down for a Helen vote! Thanks! :) --STEF

bobby needs to be with someone a little quirky, someone who could make him laugh and ally is just the person. --Jenny C

Ally is my choice for Bobby for her craziness towards life. Personality wise I think she"d be good for him.Other than Ally I would have to say Helen.Together they are hot!!! Lindsay is way to good of a girl for Bobby, he needs the fire inside which I dont see Lindsay being able to satisfy for longterm for Bobby. He needs that spark. --Janelle

He should definitely be dating Helen, 100%. She is his intellectual equal and there is a lot of chemistry between them. She is also sooooo beautiful. Lindsay is a plain Jane and Ally McBeal is just an idiot. --Tracey S

Bobby should definitely be dating Ally, she's kooky and very weird and just what the poor guy needs. He's forever being serious, Ally will provide light entertainment. But of course he should be going out with me but that can't happen can it?! --Raksa, UK

I think Bobby should be with Ally. --kzmojo

I think that him and Lindsay are so cute together. It's too bad she turned him down! (I was very mad at her!) --MegsKB

Don't you feel like he is better with Ally? I mean, they looks great together!! --vicsiio, Taiwan

I have never been to a practice website or a dylan website before. (but don't get me wrong, i'm a HUGE fan) Today's show just got me mad so I decided to check one out and spew a bit on why. I think that Lindsay and Bobby make such a cute couple. I think that they are great together. They have such great chemistry between them and they handle almost all the cases together. I like Helen, but Lindsay just seems more right for Bobby than her. I haven't seen the results of the 'contest' between ally (whom I think would be lousy with bobby), lindsay, and helen because I don't want to get swayed by the resulsts. --anita

My vote is for dylan to date lucy!!!!!!!!!! --DWilliamson

My personal opinion is none of the above. I think he should date Eleanor, thereby reassuring the public that men like Bobby, who is the stuff that dreams are made of, can and do love women who are not a size 4!!! --Becky J November Emails:

i definitely think Lindsay is the lady for Bobby they are perfect for each other. In all honesty they can't make the Ally thing last anyway! Uzma , NJ

there is no way that he should go for ally. she is a wicked tramp! helen already had her chance, she doesn't really love him, and their personalities are too different. go for lindsey all the way. she is what bobby needs. she can take care of him, but she can also kick him in the butt. their personalities match, bobby just needs to wise up. --Stephanie B p.s. this is a cool site, can you get anymore pictures?

I think it should be Lindsey because Ally is too screwd up for anyone. Helen seems to have a new love in her life . from Michelle K

I think Bobbie should be datting Ally because he can't make up his mind about Helen and Linsey. Helen and Linsey close friends and I think they both have feeling for Bobbie but they don't know who should love him. I think Bobbie should date Ally Mcbeal. Helen and Linsey are friends and they can never make up they mind who should like Bobbie.-- Barbara L

Bobby should definitely be going with Ally. More crossover episodes! ==mithrush

I think Bobby should dating Ally --Yeung Na T

bobby donnell should go with helen. ally mcbeal is too clutzy and lindsay too sweet. --Amy N

I love both Ally Mcbeal and The Practice and i think for a few show it wld a good story line to put the show together again. But the way that wld be best wld be to get a few cases for them like they did last time and they cld share the case work. If they do it any other way it wont seem as REAL so to speak. Dont do any of that chance meeting type of crap or actually Ally cld get away with a chance meeting type of thing ! - Great shows both - angela

DUH!!!! He most definetly should be with Lindsey!!!!!!!! That's all that needs to be said!--Katie G

I totally think bobby should date Lindsay. their chemistry is great. --TaraN October Emails:

none of the above, he should date Elle Macpherson --Jorge G

Definately LIDNESY! I think they have such great chemistry together! I love them together! --Brkaki

He's dated Helen and I didn't like the match-up at all. Ally is to silly and too thin, he might break her if he gave her a big hug. He's dated Lindsey and he obviously still has deep feelings for her. Did you see the kiss last night? I think he should try again with Lindsey. --GinelleT

I think that Bobby should get with Lindsay. I think they are so perfect for each other. I don't like Helen that much. She is a good lawyer but I think because they know each other's working style and they are always together Bobby and Lindsay should get together. --Katie

This is in response to your survey... I think Ally is definitely the person... He will balance her out, and she will make him relax and be crazy sometimes... :) Okay,ciao. Rose

Personally I think that he should be with Helen. Something about those two together, they should just put all the crap behind them and stop playing hard to get with eachother. They looked good together also. That is just my opinion. --Sincerely,Ally

Helen and Bobby! Helen and Bobby! They've got to get together! --Katems13

I think Bobby and Ally would make the best couple her craziness with his looks would make a interesting combination.------Sharon

DEFINITELY (no question about it)- ALLY!!!!!!!! But if the choice only lies between Lindsay or Helen then I'd have to say Helen!...............However NONE compare with Ally! --shani S.

Hi..at the moment it's ally for sure..but my opinion is due to the fact that i have not seen the practice yet but i've seen the reviews and if my guess is correct, if bobby/lindsay relationship in the practice is as intense as mulder/scully in x-files and there're no more crossovers, then lindsay it is..i mean helen sound a bit annoying even in the review... so ally first and then lindsay..and i vote for mr.david kelley to do more crossovers..thanks..bye...--amira

I am a UK fan and last week we saw Bobby on part one of the Axe Murderer episode in "Ally Mcbeal". Boy I thought he was great and so good looking! He and Ally DEFINETELY should get together! There is so much chemistry between them. I can't wait to see the second half this week and also the season finale in which I read he and Ally kiss!! The Practice got cancelled only after 3 episodes here, so I don't know about this two other women (Helen & Lindsay) and quite frankly I don't care as I would love for Bobby & Ally to get it together. The law is the only thing they have in common BUT opposites do attract and they are thus perfect for each other! He can give her some stability that she lacks (Why else would Ally act so goofy all the time? ) and she can make him laugh, something he looks like he never does much... So David E Kelley - Please make Dylan Mcdermott a permanent cast member of "Ally Mcbeal" and hopefully her lover as well as I personally cannot stand Billy and Ally pining after him! Make her pine for a REAL man, and that would be Bobby ofcourse!!! --Saifa :) A U.K fan

Lindsay is the one for Bobby. --Lee V.

With Ally, DEFINITELY!!!! She can loosen him up a little. They have chemistry.--Siti

Bobby needs to get together with Lindsay. The chemistry between the two of them is incomparable, and Lindsay is the best choice- as long as he can't date me.--Joanie

Definitely LINDSAY!!!!!!!!! --DWGeekie

I'd have to vote for the pairing of Bobby & Lindsey because it's a little less the expected course. There are some strong feelings there - they just may not know it yet. --Rhonda C

LINDSAY, LINDSAY, LINDSAY!!! --Nicole R

HE should definitly GO FOR...ALLY MCBEAL!!!!!!!! THEY MAKE AN AWESOME COUPLE!!!! --Staca79

Dylan should be dating Linsay. They are so perfect together, and would make a very sexy couple. Ally would be a good mate as well, but she is too crazy for him. I find Helen cold and evil for some reason.--Jantzi, Canada

I think he should be dating Rebecca so that there would be more controversy!!! --defaultuser

ally, ally ally --ichan, New Zealand

i think bobby and lindsay are best suited.they really care about each other and are able to tell each other everything. that is what i think anyway, from Gigi

Dylan should definitely be going out with Ally, since I can't!!! --trogers

As far as your question regarding who he should date this season on "The Practice" I think I want to see him with Lindsey - I think she's in love with him. I did like the crooss show with Ally Mcbeal - they made a cute couple and everybody knows shes looking for a husband (she needs to get over Billy) but I guess there not doing cross shows so they won't be happening. --yellobrkrd

Bobby should definitely be either with Ally or Lindsay and since there won't be any more crossovers Lindsay steps up!! Regards. Margaret M

September 1998

Hi. This is about your survey thingy about who Bobby should go out with on the Practice. I thikn that he should go out with Helen because lindsay is so clingy and annoying and helen is just so cool. And bobby, being so very hot, should have to go out witht he cool person.-Beth

Bobby should DEFINITELY be dating ALLY! No doubt about it!--Georgann, Erie, PA

My vote is for Bobby and Ally. I think not only would it keep us watching both shows, but also open up the possibilities for story lines. If he dates Helen or nosy Lindsay (or both), the story is limited to the same old stuff that goes on in office romances. Despite David's awesome writing and creativity, the bottom line would be the same old stuff. Besides, if ALly was out of the picture, why would Bobby get hit by a car for noticing someone that looked(?) like her? --dina

of course Lindsay and dylan should be together. They have the best chemistry. Ally McBeal is so airheaded and she is so insecure. Go Lindsay!!---Patricia M

I would love to see him hook up with Ally. What do you mean, no more cross-overs with the shows--in the words of Ally (you, you can't do that!!) Who can I write to tell them to keep up the contact with Ally? She needs a fling with him, but it would never work out. I think he will end up with Lindsay after seeing the Season Premiere! My heart stopped when he got hit! He is just so scrumptious, I didn't want to see any part of him injured! --Sue from Canada

Ally and Bobby are NOT good together. Ally is so dorky and self-centered that Bobby would eventually get fed up with her. Helen is wrong too because when they were together it was just about sex. No love, no dating, no hand holding. It was just thrown in for viewer attention. So, now you realize Lindsay perfect. They connect on an intellectual level and the tension is definitely there. The shared looks, the longing, it's all there. They click.--Suzanna

he should be with helen --izidorv

ALLY!!!! He should be going with Ally they make the BEST couple!! --Vicky C

Definitely Ally...They have a *chemistry* and what a reward for Ally who has had such bad luck finding a decent man. I also think writing each of them into the others television show would be a great bonus!!! --Yrumean

I definately vote for Ally. They look perfect together and you can see that they have real chemistry together. Plus she needs someone who's more serious in her life and he needs someone who can loosen him up more. So I think they would make a perfect couple!!!!! --Zonika

Definitely Lindsay!! -- AmyD

I cast a vote for Ally. She is so quirky and goofy that it might loosen Bobby up a little and be good for him. Might help alleviate his stress and make him laugh once in a while. --JJgale

Helen she is the one for him, not the other two. Bobby is meant for Helen. --Jasmin, Australia

Bobby should definately date Lindsay. Helen is kind of mean and I must have missed his cross -over with Ally. Lindsay loves him and she deserves him. Sarah, Elizabeth Town, PA

Ally and Bobby would be great together, but having a boyfriend or a husband might wreck some of Ally's quirky, whiny charm...plus they're on different shows, Lindsey's first runner up but Bobby and Lindsey would make such good FRIENDS! Bobby and Helen weren't bad together and they had good chemistry...or maybe they just need to write a whole new woman in for him! ~Anyte

August 1998

bobby's dating pool: my vote goes to ally mcbeal---think of all the wonderful crossover episodes where ally's comedic world gets all tangled up in the dramatic world of Donnell & Associates!--Pat

LINDSEY...LINDSEY...LINDSEY Bobby and Lindsey have had chemistry through every episode, every season!! Helen is fine, but Lindsey is "THE ONE"!!!--Dznyfreek

Ally has been searching so hard for her "ideal man" that it's only decent to reward her with someone as gorgeous and sexy as Bobby. The sexual tension between them is incredible! I'll just die if Kelley decides against the match.--Beth, Singapore

Ally is perfect for Bobby - she adds a little color and pep - she can make him laugh - opposites always attract!--Chrianna

Helen! Of course! Why are so few people saying that? It's obvious to me. They are a really cute couple, they deserve each other, and he's obviously still in love with her, and I think she is with him. C'mon, people! --Darla

No contest the only logical choice is Ally. The reason with the other two women Bobby runs the risk of becoming part of on of those dreaded BORING TV couples. Face it, whether she is in a relationship or not there is never a dull moment with Ally. And she brings out a lighter side and Bobby. These two a sheer magic.--Kathy L.

BOBBY and ALLY!!!! DEFINITELY!! --trusthim

My vote is for Ally and Bobby to get together. The chemistry between these two is unbelievable. Although I am not a faith ful watcher of the practice (but of Ally McBeal) I have seen enough episodes to know that the other two choices just wouldn't work with this though as nails lawyer. First Helen is too much like Bobby which is probably why their relationship has never worked, these two just seem to bring out the worse in each other. Then theres Lindsey, somehow this relationship didn't work from the start. To begin with there was never any sparks between the two and it always seem more like Bobby was using her that his feelings for her weren't genuine. Whereas with Ally he seems to truly care. He seems not to want to hurt her or to rush into something that may not last. Plus these two truly compliment eachother and are alot of fun to watch. I love this combination and would very much like to see it continue in the future. Its time Ally forgot all about Billy and moved onto someone who has already proven that he cares for her, Bobby Donnell.--Peggy Francoeur

Bobby and Ally would make a great pair! Not only do they compliment each other so well, but it would add great tension to both shows. Each has existing love triangles and an outsider would put in s few interesting turns. -Melanie

Oh please, it MUST be Ally!---MJ

He should definitely be with Lindsay. Ally is too flaky and Hellen is too prickly.--NJHM1

Here is my comments who Bobby should be with: Ally~ I think that they only be friends and that is it. I don't think that she is his type. I don't watch her unless Dylan is on the show. Helen~ I beleive that she is trouble for Bobby. Maybe they can be friends. Lindsey~ I think that maybe this is the best pair write here. Well thanks for letting me express my opinion. --Jenny Paxton

Bobby and Lindsay!!! ~Shannon~

I believe Bobby should stick with Ally why? just like you said.... Could make things interesting. She seems to read him real well. Maybe she'll get him out more and he will ground her to be less neurotic? They work well together...and yes, she knows him well. Besides, Ally deserves someone special as he is so that she won't sulk or remain in the past....and he needs someone to be loyal to...i hope you get my drift. --Lara Mia V M G., Philipines

I vote for Bobby and Ally. They definately have the chemistry as well as compliment the other. The finale was great, everyone at my office was talking about it. Second vote would be Helen, sparks fly between them. Lindsay, doesn't do anything to the relationship. It would be flat and unexciting. --Stel in San Diego

Definitely Ally, who else is good enough to fill the role of Bobby's girlfriend .... maybe even wife ? Plus, has anyone noticed the chemistry ? -Meng, Singapore

Bobby should definitely go with Ally. They had great chemistry. -- Jenn

Lindsey Is it ! Thanks for your time. --MR. SEAN C. K. "BIRD"

I think Bobby should date Ally because of all the men Ally's smooched,he a) looks the best and b) IS the best -- he's the only one of the men Ally's smooched that actually is her match -- the rest are all wimps.-- Jen

Agree...Ally is a spaz. Helen is sort of mean and my gosh, is she skinny! The woman is bones! I really don't like the way the two (B and H) of them just fall on the floor, etc. He seems more romantic and after all, why not make it comfortable? Makes for good promos huh? Can't believe the way they all talk to each other about their exploits, ie. Helen and Lindsay...a turnoff. My ramblings. OK so, my vote is for Bobby and....a non-lawyer! -- Peter B.

Definitely Lindsay --Beres

helen, definately, first ally is screwed up and wacked (not really an ally fan) and bobby already chose helen over linsday when the entire thing started. --TKTuna

I think he needs to continue to play the field, although I would like to see a lot of cross-over stuff with Ally. They need to have an on-going tension, but not get to-gether for the long haul. Helen is a bad deal. As pointed out in a recent episode, Bobby ended up in jail because he acted on information he got accidently thru Helen. Although Helen made some quick apology, saying it was really her fault, Bobby landed in jail. It was indeed her lack of professional etiquette, even in the bedroom that caused the whole problem to begin with, or course there wouldn't have been an episode without it. Ally would be comic relief on The Practice, Bobby would bring some stability to Ally McBeal. I have trouble believing the same guy writes both shows. He must have a Jekyl and Hyde mentality that allows him to see both sides of the law! I used to love "Moonlighting" with Bruce Willis and Cybil Sheppard, it was a terrific show until they actually consumated their passion, then she got pregnant and they introduced Mark Harmon into the mix, it was all down hill from there. As long as Bobby doesn't settle down with anyone for too long, the sexual tension will remain. Who knows there may be lots more ladies in his life. I don't have a problem with that. As long as the stories stay as good as they are, and there is a goodly amount of tension between the love interests, I'm for it. --Ida

I think Dylan/Bobby will be better with Ally. She may very well be a foil for his cynisism and he to her naivete. -- Marve V. Philipines

July 1998

Lindsay --Nancy W.

I think Bobby should definitely date Lindsay. They are such a cute couple. I think they have the same sexual tension just like between Mulder and Scully ---YY

Lindsey. Lindsey. Lindsey. Enough said --CocoaO

I think Bobby and Ally should get together. They look just perfect for each other. The serious and the whimsical. Oooofff!!! -- Amelia

definately should be with Ally. Lighten up his stress filled life!--- J

Lindsay and Bobby make the best couple no doubt about it ...Ally is too crazy for him and Helen is way too serious so Lindsay makes the perfect fit anyone whos smart knows that! --Prrose

Lindsay!!!!!!!!! Ally McBeale is way too dramatic. She is too annoying. Helen is too drab for him. Lindsay is the cutest one and they complement each other. I think they are a good team together and the chemistry is there. For a serious relationship, he should call Lindsay. She knows more about him than the fact that he is gorgeous. T.J. in L.A.

I personally fell that he should get back together with Lindsay. Best whishes, Bruna, Brazil.

Bobby and Lindsay all the way!!! They are so perfect for each other, and besides Lindsay is in love with Bobby and even if he doesn't admit it I think he is in love with her too. But of course if that didn't work, he could go with me any day. :-) -Jenna

Bobby should date Ally, They could both lead seperate work lives yet have a lot in common. And, it would be interesting. --Mel

June 1998

Yes let's encourage David to get Bobby and Ally together.....plus I hate to say it, but it seemed like David might be thinking that if the practice gets cancelled he could move Bobby onto Ally Mcbeal --Janet

Well I think Bobby should date Ally McBeal, because he needs someone whose life isn't so dramatic. He should have a little bit of fun for once and I think Ally can bring him that fun ( ie: their company dances and strange case) Poughkeepsie, Sarah

My vote is for Ally, I think that she really needs someone 'normal' in her life and Bobby needs someone to help him loosen up. --Mike K.

BOBBY SHOULD DATE ALLY McBEAL. THEY HAVE A REAL CHEMISTRY TOGETHER. --J. G.

Well, I personally think that he Bobby should be dating Ally McBeal. --Ed S.

I think Bobby should date Ally; he will be very happy with her because of her charm and light-hearted. --Teri

My vote is for Ally McBeal. It will be very interesting to watch them together. --Marija M

I think Bobby should be dating Ally cause they would make a really good couple cause they would understand each other. -TGess

Ally McBeal! Lindsay is too starry-eyed. Helen doesn't complement Bobby. Bobby & Ally would be truly original. --Jude D.

If Bobby doesn't date Ally who will? All Bobby's girlfriends last only a couple of episodes so it isn't even a time commitment. Besides I watch Ally and she doesn't seem to be any closer to getting any than she was in the first episode. If Bobby needs to date anyone he should date me! But of course any good fan would say that. --antonia

There's no doubt about it. He's got to unload that baggage and kiss her again. The Practice is good. But, if Ally pops into the Practice, it's ratings are sure to go up. I'm a fan of both now! Bobby, unload your "bags"! --Paula W. Baltimore

I think Bobby should date Ally Mcbeal. Because he needs someone different for a change. Plus, then you could see him on two shows.. The Practice and Ally Mcbeal. --Stephanie

Bobby should be with Helen. I sensed a lot of chemistry between them when they were together. They look great together. Helen is, by far, the prettiest of the three women. --Alan R.

I want him to me VERY romantic with me but that won't happen so.....Ally McBeal. I think she deserves a little happiness with a wonderful, hudsom, and loveable man like Bobby. --Samantha C.

I think that Bobby should be dating Ally. I love Ally so what if she is a little ditsy. She reminds me of well me. Only I don't get to go around kissing Dylan McDermott. I also say this cause I have seen all of the practice eps. and seen Bobby kiss, but when Bobby and Ally kissed my heart started beating faster it was so good. --Puera

I think Bobby should go with Alley and I don't think he should stop there.Consider the possibilities here,maybe Renee could get him to sing, or Elaine would try to#@%$& well lets face it who knows what Elaine will say or do.When Bobby is good and comfortable maybe he'll try to steal a kiss from Georgia. It's always fun to see Billy get all red in the face. Can you imagine the fishism on that romantic blunder?The reason I want to see Bobby with Alley has nothing to do with the other two choices the witch or the girl scout. I can easily explain my vote in two words "GUEST APPEARANCES". --N. Lee

I think either ally or Lindsay- I never took a liking to Helen- even though shes a good lawyer. --Choopy

Dylan should definitely date Ally. Too sexy for anyone but her crazy love.--E. Baker

i think that Lindsay and Bobby should get together they make the best couple and they have the best relationship the look so cute together . I hope they get together in the fall and Bobby gets somebody pregnant that would be really cool it would put alot of conflict in the show with the cases and all it would be great. -- Prrose

I think that Bobbie should be with Lindsay if anybody! Helen doesn't do much for me! --Yolanda
