Beautiful!

I couldn't have said it better myself (except I don't have a feeling
one way or the other about Kennedy or Lawford genes ;-).

When I read "...his (dare I say Tad-ish) skils" I thought "so THAT's
how they picked him". I never would have thought of it myself, but
he does seem to have that charm, twinkle in the eye, and intelligence.
Not that he could ever REPLACE Tad, but he seemed so unusual somehow
(unlike MOST of AMC's casting); I knew why *I* liked him (sortof), but
I didn't imagine AMC having the good taste after including among its
cast a number of actors I consider bland at best [ not naming names
'cause I don't want to piss anyone off! ]. I guess that puts it
a little too strongly; I thought he was better than most and different,
where AMC usually seemed to place a negative value on "difference"

ALRIGHT!  I used to watch AMC but when Tad left I stopped watching it,
now is it possible that he is coming to the soap that I watch that has
all of the good looking men on! ;-)  I can't wait.  I don't know where
you are located, but here in San Diego Santa Barbara comes on at Noon.
Hope you switch over, Santa Barbara is GREAT!  

Thanks for the information.

Well Viv, I like him too.  I didn't like him as Evan Bates.
But I think he has great potential on SB.  I hear he will be
paired be Kelly.  This I have to see.

Didn't Julia take herself off the case?  I thought she did, but I
could be wrong.

Speaking of Julia, I read an article somewhere that said that
she will not renew her contract with SB.  She is unhappy 
about how Julia has been written.  Specifically the haunted
house storyline.  She said that Julia would never have agreed
to stay in a house where her family was in danger.  And another
point is that her and Mason are on the back burner again.  She
understands being on the back burner but she says it happens
alot.  (I happen to agree with her, Mason and Julia are 2 of
the best on SB and they should use them much more) IMHO.
I hope she will reconsider.  If she does go I think it will
hurt SB more, afterall our beloved Cruz is leaving.

I hope I didn't steal anyone's thunder by posting the above.
If I did I'm sorry.

No kidding, she may end up thinner after the hospital stay. How long

Are they really going to let Gloria and Adam fall in love?

Did anyone else notice yesterday's episode where Adam was standing so strangely?
My guess is that this was filmed after his achille's accident and we won't see
much of him dancing in the near future.

Did anyone else notice how gingerly that chimp picked up Holly
and Bill's clothes, holding them between his thumb and forefinger?
He was soooooooo cute. Best part of the show.

And finally the teenage trio has received the threatening letter. Anyone
else notice how GH is dragging out each storyline with redundant drivel
that goes on for days, weeks? Jenny and Paul: "I love you. I love you not."
Karen, etc.: "I can't forget about Cal." Day after day. Holly and Bill: Run
a little, swim a little, run into scary strangers. Mac and Felicia: "I want to
be a PI. I don't want you to be a PI." Nikki and AJ: "Go home. I don't
want to go home." On and on and on...

It doesn't seem like it would cost anymore money to speed things up a
little and give us some NEW action.

On the other hand though, they have tried to make Victor more aware of
the wicked past and face up to it, but haven't let him lose his power
or his villain character.  He still has a need for power, and is still
mysterious, but seems to feel distress over some of the things he has
done.  I think they could have Lawrence come to terms with some of his
past (out of his love for Carly and his new-found son) without changing
him into a wimp.  It could be a good storyline if the writers don't
mess it up (I know, I'm not holding my breath).

Personally, I can't wait to see what happens when Lawrence finds out
that Viv has lied to him about Nikki all along.  I think this will
provide some very powerful, well-acted scenes.  This could also play
into Lawrence's coming to terms with his past... he will see what a
hunger for power can do to people... it should be interesting
anyway...

No I agree with this (in part).  I do think if they ignore the rape, it
will be a major mistake.  It's a touchy issue that people (particularly
women) want to see dealt with in the proper way.

This could be it, because he is shot at a wedding I remember.
I can't remember who shot him.  But I remember Gina being
at the hospital trying to get some info on him to see if he
remembers Sonny.  The shooting does help bring Julia and Mason
back together.  At least for short time.

But I also remember Julia having second thoughts about marrying
Mason.  That's why she speaks up at the wedding.
After he is shot, the Sonny side (no pun intended) is gone.

As you know, on the soaps they never actually say anyone's age
after they graduate high school.  Dixie must be 21 years old
because she drinks alcohol.  And I mean really, what a slut!
Now, I remember her wrapping her legs around Craig on the
dance floor and then wappa-wappa.  Dancing with Brian and
then wappa-wappa.
But why oh why can't I remember if she danced with Tad before
wappa-wappa?  Seems like all she has to do is dance with
someone and it's love.  (The Horizontal Tango with Adam
doesn't fit in with this theory so I won't mention it).
