How about the standard answer. You are in love with the most wonderful
man in the world and you cannot even think about life without him!
[in my case substitute "woman for "man" and substitute "her" for "him"

I saw the tail end of that commercial during yesterday's show (I was
FFWDing at the time) and thought to myself, "That looks like Margo. Nah.
Can't be. She's still on the show." I guess that was her after all then.

As for Ellen's departure, I'm not really sure. But the new actress (anyone
out there know who she'll be?) is supposed to take over right around the
time the results from the second HIV test come back. That's another

How about Carmen Duncan(?) from Another World?  She plays
Iris the part that Bev used to play when she was on that
soap.  Carmen is really good, you completely hate her in 
one scene and then she does something and you can really 
feel sorry for her.  The only problem is I think she looks
about 10 years younger than Bev and I am not sure if she 
would be too believable as Nick's mother.

My other suggestion would be Marj Dusay, she used to be 
on (the now defunct) Capitol as Myrna Clegg who was a 
character that you loved to hate.  I think Marj is good 
enough to show the more sensitive of Alex's character,
although the Myrna persona she played on Capitol was 
pretty much just plain "b*tchy," but you couldn't help 
but be attracted to her (and Marj made her more than just
a one-dimensional character which is so boring) and she had
such good one-liners.

Anyway just a couple of suggestions.  And Happy Holidays to 
everyone out there!!!

Well, I will try my best...I am sure that I will forget many details, but
please bear with me.  Any additions or corrections will be appreciated.

	Vicky returned Grant's ring to him when she discovered that he had
been lying about how serious the threats against him were.  She had a fit
in front of Grant, Spencer, Ryan, Billy Cooper and the Secret Service guys.
Spencer and Ryan backed up Grant.  Grant dressed up as Santa Claus and went
to Vicky's house.  He told a story about Rudolph, which was a kind of
apology for his attitude towards Vicky.  She allowed him to stay and decorate
the tree with Bridget and Steven.  He hung up the ring on the tree.
	
	Ryan visited Vicky and Steven before Grant got there, and gave Steven
a motorized cop car.  Then, Vicky complained to Ryan about how the Harrisson
brothers don't know how to treat her, and Ryan left.  He went alone (on his
birthday) to an old movie theater.  Brett comes in and sits behind him.  They
start arguing about food or something, and they go out to some restaurant.

	Paulina and Jake argue about the videotape for Rachel.  Paulina wants
Jake to give Rachel a sweater.
	
	Sam buys Ali a pony for Christmas without consulting Amanda first.
Then, an Ace woman comes in and tells Sam that he's late for his television
appearance in Nashville?Chicago?  Amanda and the family watch it on t.v.
later.  Rachel gives Jake a contract to do 5 shows at KBAY.  Jake gives 
Rachel a videotape, which he does not appear in, of the Corry family with
Mac in it.  Everyone is emotional and loves the tape.

	Dean and Jenna go to Felicia's and later Kevin and Lorna show up.
Kevin surprises Lorna by bringing her grandmother, too.  Lorna and Felicia
hug, because they understand why they both are upset--Christmas without Lucas.

	At Hank Kent's, Iris, Tommy, Cass, and Frankie decorate the tree.  
This is Christmas Eve.  Lorna, Kevin, Dean, and Jenna, and the band arrive
to sing Christmas carols.  Frankie talks to Tommy about her death and coming
back to life.  

	Cass, on Christmas Day, still hadn't gotten Frankie a gift.  Then,
late at night, he comes in and gives her three things.  1.  Wedding invitations
for February 14, 2. their wedding rings, and two astrological charts for their
signs on February 14th to show that there isn't anything wrong for either of
them on that day.  Frankie is very moved.

	Well, that's all that I can remember.  Hope it helps.....

Happy New Year!

Besides the judges always take into consideration that the father as

And there is ALWAYS an investigation by a social worker that is

"Soap Opera Fans Leave Sofa For Computer-Age Critiques"
 By Jim Ritter / Staff Writer


   Some choice quotes:

   "Fans have been maligned over the years", said Baym, a visiting teaching 
associate in speech communications (University of Illinois at Urbana). 
"These people are not stupid or isolated. They lead rich, full lives." 

   Yo, Nancy: way to "step up to the mike". :)
   

   "Soap watching is in part a public conversational activity", Baym said. 
"One of the main reasons people watch soaps is so they can talk to other 
people."

   Preach.


[Ritter writes:]
   "When it appeared that Tad would return to "All My Children" after a 
two-year absence, viewers held a lottery to guess when he would reappear. 
(The winner accurately predicted it would be five minutes before the end of 
a Friday episode.)"

   .........I don't see my name here, Nance...didn't you get the check, 
yet?? :))



   "Usenet links up universities, government labs and computer and software 
companies. The soap opera bulletin board draws comments from engineers, 
grad students, scientists, technical writers and secretaries."

   Finally, the diversity shines through. Send Grimes a copy of this. :)

     
   A well-written article. Concise and informative. Huge (for print media) 
picture of Nancy in upper right corner. [Home or office?] Perfect timing 
(Christmas Day; folks are home and reading).
   And for once, Prodigy gets the short end of the stick. :)

catch the end of some after-school special that ABC was running,
and the old Angie Baxter Hubbard (Debbi Morgan) was playing the
head of a daycare center (at least, I *think* that's who she was
supposed to be... I only saw the last 10 minutes).  Her dimples
were just as deep as I recalled :-)

I was wondering the same thing.  The episode from this past Friday

pot dealers and then is arrested when they plant the hash on him.  Is
this current or something old?
