Ummm...something having to do with how women are treated in
that industry might have something to do with whats wrong with
it. I wonder (old people do that ya know...never mind those bifocals :))
how far DOOL is willing to go with this taboo area. They certainly
don't have to worry about being tasteless...they're already quite
tasteless as it is thank you very much with they way they portray
women on soaps as it is, not to mention how they treat the people
who work there.

There are very few strong women on DOOL these days, and those that are
presented in a positive way aren't  given enough to do. Case in point Mrs. H,
Julie :-(, Jo (only shown in Jack scenes; what ever happened to a Jo/Vance :)
pairing?), and Jenn (though she is seen more often than the others).

Ways to positively portray others:

We can watch BillieGoat wander around on all 4's chewing on
anything in site, and then later ram Asstin in the ass and knock
him out the window. Later after the autopsy, Roman can feed her
a can of his favorite playdoh, pat her on the head and say good
doggie.

CARdamom (go look it up :))... ummmm ... sorry, but there is
absolutely no way to portray her in a positive way, other than
RKK shooting her with his gun if for no other reason than for
that ingrown intense look on his face to subside. I guess having to
work with Chapped lips does that to a fella.

Greetings, Inmates -

I've been away from the office for a few days, and we have a very short retention
time for news articles, so I don't know if this has been posted yet or not.

Joseph Breen, who plays Scott Eldredge, is HIV+.  The news came out in a sleazy and
despicable manner in the Enquirer, but Breen had already informed management at 
ATWT of his condition.  He had not, however, had a chance to tell his castmates.
Elizabeth Hubbard (Juicy) went ballistic over the Enquirer's "handling" of the
story--particularly over the fact that Breen was not allowed the dignity to 
inform castmates himself.  Doug Marland said that everyone at ATWT is supportive
of Breen.

  The more they show Bridgett,the more I like her.  I felt so bad for
her on Christmas Eve,when everyone was downstairs singing and having a
great time,while she was stuck upstairs in that attic.  Tell me,why did
she have to pretend to be gone before Christmas?  Once Mo and Ed gave
her permission to go,it's obvious that Bridgett's family wasn't going
to be coming to Springfield anymore.  Why couldn't they have made up
some excuse for her trip being postponed at the last minute.

I'm sure that a lot of people travel over the Christmas holiday and it
would've been really tough to get Bridgett's family into Springfield at
the last minute...don't you think?

I was hoping that Bridgett would have told Mo last week,when she spent
the night.  I can not believe that Ed,a doctor,has not noticed her
condition...or anyone else in Springfield for that matter.  I would've
thought that Stavrose would've picked up on it at least.  Or,why doesn't
the baby kick when Bridgett is hugging Mo?  I want everyone to find out
about this so Bridgett can keep this baby.

Who knows,if Bridgett did keep the baby and Roger finds out it's one
of his relatives,he'll probably fight for custody or something.  Once
Mo is out of the picture,it might not be so easy for Bridgett to gain
custody.  Ed being an alcoholic and everything,Roger might be able to
paint an ugly picture of the future of that child?

I'm rambling...sorry.

On Wednesday's show, Timmy wasn't his usual bright little self!
It took him about 8 minutes longer than it took me to realize
that Santa had called him "Timmy" when he shouldn't have known
the kid's name!

Also, did you guys hear the address of the store that Santa told
Timmy to go to for a replacement porcelain angel?  It was
34th street, as in Miracle On.  Can you say "foreshadowing" ?
Can you say "overkill" ?   I *knew* you could!

I have a question - if no one has received invitations, then where are the

was the one who was LOOKING for the long term so I guess I did think it would
a most excellent state.  On the other hand ...

     Of course, it also helps to have your own private personal
feed!  It's great to sit at home in the ol' raggedy flannel bathrobe, 
floppy slippers and log in while scarfing down potato chips and coke 
and not have anyone at the lab yelling at ya!

Roserooni, currently wearing one purple slipper and one blue one--
and yes, I have another pair just like this one!

Trent,

I agree that the transformation happened too quickly.  I was wondering how
AJ and Jason got a tree decorated so quickly when I was watching.  But just
so you know, the tree was brought by the Quartermaines when they came to 
visit AJ (Jason was holding it) so I guess they brought decorations and lights
too! ;-)

Dear Santie Claus:

My name is Spud Potato Peel. I have been a very very very 
very very very very very very very very very very very very
very very very very very very very good girl this past 
year. So I think it fit that you be extremely generous with
me this Yuletide Season. I have enclosed a list below: 



1. That I could down as much Jack Daniels as Butthead
did and not become shitfaced drunk, sick, or above all
a bloddy lush.
2. That I could be as glamours as Julie, and wear those
great beaded, extremely low cut dresses for disasters, and
be able to hold the dress up as well as she does.
3. That I can off a few folks like Kimmie, and Lizard,
and not have to spend any time in jail or even go to
court.
4. Be like Jenn and get a great looking guy, who is above
all bizarre, extremely funny, sardonic, intelligent, etc.
5. Most of all may I be like Crystal Chappell, with whom
I share a lack of acting skills, may I like her get to
be the star of my a television show, constantly on,
always with a storyline--even though like her, my acting
SUCKS.


Messy Kweznuz to all...


Spudnix Peel...

Ilene - 

It *WAS* REALLY funny on its own, but what also made the line funny 
was that not two seconds before Edmund said it, I said almost the
same thing to my roommate - "Gee, he sure takes a lot of walks!"
My roommate couldn't stop laughing for the longest time!  Now she thinks
I think like a soap writer!
