Um, some of us know these things without it dating us :) I'm about a
generation (at least) off in my musical tastes... I could probably
sing/quote both this and the following without even thinking about it,
whereas the latest Madonna song (or whatever I'm "supposed" to be

(And as has been posted, this is from "They're coming to take me away"
which I learned from a Doctor Demento album my best friend in
high school would play, along with other great classics like
"Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" and the well known "Cockroach that
Ate Cincinati" :) )

For all of you who want to see Matt Borlenghi after he leaves AMC
in February, you might have your chance.

He is heading for Hollywood where he is scheduled to begin filming
"an Easy Rider type motorcycle film" in June.  He is also commited
to a movie called The Imperial.

I seriously think this is a great idea!  Soaps tend to like hospitals,
since people can be in life-threatening situations, but I think a school
is a great way to involve a lot of younger characters in a realistic
situation.

I want them to get rid of Royce and Neal!!!
I like Roseanne, but they have taken so long at getting her and Hutch
together that at this point I don't hoot if they ever get together!
Perhaps a fun storyline would be for her and Evan to not be able to
get over their feelings of being passionately in love, even while knowing
they are siblings, and then for Roseanne to find out that she is her mom's
child as a result of an affair and thus at long last she and Evan can
consumate their love (maybe she can come across her mother's diaries).

I also thought the storyline about Mac (Bob's stepdad) loosing his
mental capacities was promising, realistic and a welcomed change.  But,
have they now dropped it?

And, where is the real Scott???  This new guy is AWFUL!!!!

Comment on the David and Kat pairing...although I *love* these two
together,isn't David *technically* Kat's uncle..by marriage.

I mean,if my mom remarried,my step-father's brother would be my uncle...
is that not right?

I don't think it's legal for these two to pair up.  I know in a lot
of states it would be illegal..I don't know about Springfield,USA.

Sue, I think they missed their golden opportunity on this one!
When Tad was in the hospital chapel on Wednesday, 1/27, and he
realized that the place was familiar - I thought surely he would
have a flashback to his Tad-the-Cad days when he sat in the hospital
chapel and promised God that he would be good from then on if God 
would not "take Jenny away."  This was while she was dying from
the Tony Barclay - jet ski explosion thing.  It was probably the 
best scene I've ever seen MEK do, and it was definitely the turning
point in the character's life.  

But no!  They had to give us some dippy memory of Tad and Dixie, a 
scene that happened in a generic hospital room!  And not even a 
particularly convincing scene, either, in terms of having to have
happened in PV Hospital!  It would have been much more 
realistic if Tad had a flashback of a scene *IN* the chapel!!  

I don't know, does it bother anyone besides me that almost all of
Tad's memories are about Dixie or BCT??  He has heard Opal and Joe
in voice-flashes also.  But what about all the other people who mattered
to him??  Oh, I get it - only if you currently have a *contract* on the
show do you get to be seen in flashback.  BCT appeared in the credits
last week or so, so maybe he will be making a non-flashback appearance 
as a ghost haunting Ted??

     This may have been posted a long time ago (maybe even years), but still 
being a rookie to RATS, I wouldn't have known:  Did anyone see the movie that
MEK was in called "Date With An Angel" (is the title right?).  When I saw that
movie when it was released, I was not a viewer of AMC.  But I remember that
although the movie itself wasn't so great, I loved the guy that had the
star role (which I didn't know was Tad from AMC at the time)!!!  He was
hilarious in that movie!  Just the way he is on AMC now.  What a guy!!!
     Question: Did he make this movie and stay on AMC at the same time,
or did he leave for a brief period?

I really hated that storyline.  I felt so sorry for everybody, but most
of all for Barbara.  She kept having those flashbacks of Laura
screaming, "Mommy!  Mommy!" and not being able to do anything about it. 
That story depressed me for a long time, especially since Brooke and Tom
couldn't even donate her organs.  Man, I'm getting depressed just
thinking about it.  I hate when children die on soaps!

For some reason, my system will not send anything that includes

that are sorry to see Nola go...So much plot potential with Ruth,
Opal and Nola....Not to mention that she is wonderful in the role
and she and MEK seem to really like each other alot too! I hope 
this means that he will at least get the Orsini money.....That 
would make Tad's last two years and all the confusion at least a
little easier to bear for him. We should be seeing some GREAT
acting from MEK coming up (I do not mean to imply that he hasn't
been great so far, just that I think the next few weeks will be
"emmy" material for him).

Actually, I loved the dress, especially the hat.  BJ just needed a little
more body to fill it out properly.  I'd go for a dress like that over a
big foofy one (like Sophia's ridiculous getup) anyday.

I really REALLY liked Lilly's dress -- what a great style for an
attendent.  Very classy and elegant, and suitable for us older
women who die of embarrassment wearing the stuff most brides want
for their attendents.

For worst part:  Andie doing eeny, meeny, minie, mo.  She looked like

I loved the ending.  I can understand Vivian's disappointment at the

Take a bow, everyone.

My only complaint was that the show should have ended in...Santa
Barbara!  Show some shots of that town.  Have the wedding on the
lawn in front of the famous courthouse or in the mission garden.
Oh well, the setting was gorgeous.

After reading this article, I'd thought I ask for some help.

I watched Days for about a year or so back when I was in university.
That was back in the days when Donna was talking about (that's what
made me think about asking).

So here's my problem.  What has happened since then ?

I'm sure plenty but if someone has some comments to make about how the
story lines/characters from today are related to back then, I may be
able to watch today'd DOOL easier.

Just to give an idea what I remember, here are some of the characters
that used to be around.

Justin/Adrian were married.
Jennifer was torn between Jack and Emilio.
(Frankie had left early into my watching days).

Victor Kiriakis and Angelica were kind of an item (?).

Faith and April were fighting over Mike. (Tom and Alice's grandson)

Shane was a secret agent fighting Stephano with Roman. Shane's twin
brother showed up later on when I watched intermittently.

Kim had a small kid and was living with Shane (before he died/disappeared?)
and Eve lived there too (although she said she was in love with Nick).

I saw Steve die, with Kayla with him (although this took quite a while).

Roman (who is really John I guess) was a police officer, with Abe.
Diana had just left him, disappearing and I remember seeing Marlena
come back.

If people want they can e-mail me and I'll try to re-create the storyline
and post it later.
