Ryan and Victoria are putting up on hell of a fight. I personally think the
more Victor and Niki push for Victoria to leave Ryan, the more she is going
to stay. I am beginning to hate Victor. He won't listen and has no reasonable
bones in his body. Niki on the other hand seems to be able to deal with Vicki a
little better. Being a mother, and a woman Niki can understand how Vicki maybe
feeling. If they are not careful, Niki and Victor are going to lose Victoria
forever. If I was Victoria I would never forgive Victor. How dare he put Ryan
in jail
Anyway the charges will be null, because Victoria won't testify.
Once the charges are dropped I say the two of them are going to skip town.
Victor will then have a reason for a witch hunt.
UGGGG I am really pissed off a Victor, but remember, this is only a soap.

Ofcourse it's Frank's baby. Now we all know that. I guess this is one of
those situations where we all know who's baby it is, and the people
involved don't, so we can just keep getting upset and disgusted at Eleni
and Frank saying "A-M's baby." Personally, if Pierre(is that his name?)
gets out of town once again without being caught with A-M, I'll have a
fit! And if Eleni tells Frank just how powerful A-M is one more time,
I'll probably lose it. I wish they'd just put A-M in jail, although I
think I'll miss him much, and let Frank and Eleni be happy. However,
since when did the writers ever care about my wishes???

Ok, I must be lost.  Did he dispose of these pictures before he left
on the weekend trip or did he take them up to the cabin and dispose of
them there.  I don't remember him every getting rid of it.  And where
did he get all of that drug that he kept giving Felicia?  Surely there

Sean is not supposed to show any favoritism (not that it hasn't happened
before) so he needs to question Felecia. She's been having stange
nightmares and is currently in a state of shock. At this time he can't say
why or when she went into shock. It's possible she had another one of those
nightmares, flipped out, and attacked Ryan without provocation as far as he
can tell. Ryan certainly hasn't been in any position to tell his side (and
we all know he'd lie anyway). There's been nothing in Ryan's known history
that would indicate he was anything but a fine, upstanding citizen. Given
the situation I might also wonder whether Felecia really knew what she was
talking about.

As for checking out the cabin, who says they aren't? The past few episodes
of GH have been in soap's "expanded time". There have been a number of
episodes recently that have all taken place in the same 24-hour period.
The missing Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday episodes all took place in
about a day's time. I'm sure they'll get around to checking out Ryan's
apartment (otherwise why would they have shown us the picture he dropped on
the floor?) but things will have to settle down a little first.

Not that I would mind watching him toy with Easy ... but everyone

the Slut; AnGel; Had'one; Scooter and what's'ername ... why
can't they have a new character without a sordid past.
Why not have the next account exec at GirlWide be a former priest.
Now, wouldn't that be interesting?!?
And wouldn't Juicy just love to "break in" that guy !!!

I agree BBoob has the right to choice.  I disagree she made her
choice without consulting her husband.  Could it possibly be true
there are no babies in the state of Texas that Megpie and Josh could
adopt?  I certainly find this storyline a little tiresome .. except
if they plan to bring MegPie back to YUCKdale .. then I love it!

Actually, it wouldn't be too hard. I think Erica could be convinced to drop 
any charges becuase of Dimitri's "embarassment" at the publicity and on 
"humanitarian" (poor Edmund) reasons. And how many central characters have 
had nervous breakdowns, took a mini-vacation to OakHaven or some such 
place,and come back? (Skye springs to mind immediately, and I'[m sure 
they're several more).

OK, IMHO, Edmund has finally stepped TOTALLY over the line.
If Brooke takes him back after this, she is certifiably insane.

Do you think this is all part of the set-up to have Brooke free
when Tad returns???  How far ahead do you think the writers write?
What I guess I mean is, when MEK said, "OK, Pine Valley Ladies, here
I come!" - how many readjustments did they have to make in ongoing
storylines?  Any guesses?  Insights?

Also, I found it verrrry interesting that Brooke is feeling
sympathy for Erica.  *That* comment blew my mind!!!

I've been chatting by email with Carol.S.Boshears, a wonderful
woman who can't post on a regular basis.  She's taken to calling
Edmund either Deadmund or Deadmind - I think Deadmind is a 
*particularly* appropriate nickname.  Whaddya'll think?

Hey Lazzzzzzzzzerjet, I've read all of her books!  I really like that
series.  The last book was good - it had most of the original characters
in it with a few new additions. I would recommend it ("All the Weyrs of Pern")
since it sort of wraps up the series and IMHO Anne did a good job. :-)

Yes! Yes! Yes!  Ashley was totally out of line!  ASHLEY'S the one
responsible for this mess because she knew about Vicki's and Ryan's
involvment a year ago and didn't tell anyone.  If Vicki was my
daughter, I'd want to kill Ashley!  She had no right to try to
handle the situation in a half-a**ed way without notifying either
of Vicki's parents.  She has no children and no experience with
children - what makes her think she could handle the situation
alone?  How stupid!
 
Besides, I think she's a miserable actress - why does she slouch
