Oh Curious Shrubbery, don't feel to confused.  According to the blurb
written in SOW, TPTB are shooting for January 1993 appearance of ML, but
NBC has not picked up the show officially.  Maybe they are just trying to
get Palumbo away from DOOL by given him ML, irregardless of the fact that
NBC hasn't picked it up yet.  Last I heard, Bill Bell's soap was going to
appear.

Hi,

 I'm just a lurker who used to LOVE Santa Barbara.  Since I started working
full time about 3 years ago I haven't seen much of SB.  I also watched Another
World, which I try to keep up to date on.  My all-time favorite SB storyline
was when they first introduced Robert Barr to the show and Eden kept having
flashbacks as to how she knew him.  Too hot!!!  After that, my show watching
pretty much dissolved.
 Anyhow, back to my subject line... does anyone remember Celeste?  She was
Emily and Lisa's sister, an ex-hooker who turned out to be Scott's (Vincent
Irizarry, the doctor whose last name I can't remember) high school sweetheart.
IMHO, she was a pretty cool character.  So, the other night I saw her on that
new show "Human Target" with ex-GH'er, Rick Springfield.  She played some kind
of computer whiz or something, I wasn't paying very close attention.  But, she
looked really good and her acting was still as smooth as ever!

See ya!

Hi, all y'all!
Just saw the start of the Weirdwind festivities. First of all, let me
saw that Angel's dress is horrid beyond belief! EEEWWWWWW! Absolutely
frightful! The only thing that comes close to it is Chopper's hair....
EEEEWWWWW again! I've known hunks, hunks have been friends of mine, &
believe me, Choppers is no hunk...
When did Pine Valley get AIDS babies? And isn't Gloria a saint for
taking care of them? (If she can't handle being around AIDS patients,
she has no point being a nurse.) Yes, I know the point of it was she
was volunteering to do it. That would have virtually no bearing on her
case in real life. (IOAS,IOAS) Well, what can I say? I just don't like
Gloria. I guess PV just has played 1 too many "reformed ho's" for me to
believe it, or forgive her.
Jackson & Edmund-o looked good. So did Erica.
Tell me, why did Brooke give Carter Jones an invite to Weirdwind, & if
Angel is throwing the party, why would Brooke do the inviting? Even if the
shelter is her pet project, it's still Angel's party & not up to Brooke
to do the inviting, IMHO.
How long before Galen bites the dust? She's throwing off the "terminal
victim" vibes...
BTW, Caz, you really crack me up sometimes!

Yeah, he's only been at Spaulding for about 4 years, so multiply that by his
thrice too fast aging and it's only 12, but I think he's only expecting what
Phillip got -- sheesh, he was CEO when he was about 3 [well, actually about
23, but who's counting :)].  Wednesday's show was a display of some major
backbone by both Alan Michael and Eleni, and I liked it.  I'm gonna have
to put my asbestos flame-proof suit on here (unh mmmmm ah, ok it's on) but I 
like Alan-Michael, I think he is a Spaulding in the mode of all the other 
slightly evil and very manipulative Spauldings we've been seeing for so many
years.  I mean, he's NOTHING compared to his dad.  Talk about evil!!

Subject: DOOL:  Just two more things...
Date: 21 Jul 92 13:43:35 PDT

I just had to post two more things about the "Soap Spectacular."
First, a netter (sorry, can't remember who) posted that someone
on GEnie said Matt looked "grungy."  Well... I would never have said
grungy, but he was not exactly at his sparkling best.  His hair is
still very long and you can tell he doesn't know what to do with it.
(He pushes it out of his face a lot.)  He was wearing baggy red shorts
and an oversize white T-shirt.  He looked tired, but remember, he has
a new baby in the house (or "my kid" as he called her.)  He did say
Missy had brought Emily (her baby) to the studio on Saturday to do
"the mother thing," so I assume Missy is nursing.
Item number two is that Staci Greason told the crowd she was not
going to pursue acting for a while, but had decided to go back to
school and take a break.  (I will leave the acting comments to
the Ickster fans, but I will say, if Staci thinks going to school is
taking a break, boy, is she in for a big surprise.)

Date: 28 Jul 92 16:49:47 GMT

Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology

I'm coming out of lurkerdom to say that I think the Stalker exhusband
storyline for Galen has potential. It seems like every day I read an 
article in the newspaper or see a story on the news concerning women
being killed by an exhusband or boyfriend that the police knew posed 
a threat to the woman's life and were unable to stop.  

If the writers are reading this. Do some research! Get the facts straight
on this issue and build the story around the facts.  It has great 
potential if it's handled the right way. (Maybe Lance has some statistics 
in his bag-o-information to share.) 

Various other and sundry:
I like M. Nader (Dimitrie) {sp} better without the beard.
 
The time lines and continuety have been awful lately. My sister has even
noticed it. (This from the girl who thought Stewart and Adam were played by
different actors until I told her they weren't.

Close, but no cigar.  Quinton was Henry's son, and Vanessa's half brother.  
Another possible contender for the Spaulding throne if they brought he and Nola
and children back.  Seeing scenes with Nola and Bridgett would be a scream.

That's right, Joyce.  According to SOW, Thaao Penghlis has officially
signed a contract with SB, which more than likely means that Manhattan
Lives (the Deidre Hall soap) isn't a "sure bet."  Thaao was suppose to
reprise his old DOOL role of Count Antony DiMera on Manhattan Lives.  So
see, there is hope!! :-)
