I think I started to hate Patsy as Kim and wished they had someone else
do the role, when Bo, Hope, Shane, and Kim went to England to catch
some villian who killed people with...his ring??? Anyway, during and
following that storyline I just outright hated her; despised her,
couldn't stnad watching her do the role.

So for me Tim, you're wrong, its not that I'm just seeing a bad sampling
of her capabilities. I mean she's certainly better than Tracey Middledork,
SeeSee My Lips Exploded, and Spastic, but she's no Mary Beth, Susan
Seaforth Hayes, or Melissa Reeves.

Hey everyone!

First, I want to say that I just love all the updates.  I usually
go through phases where I record the show everyday.  Finally, I
get so fed up with the craziness that I can't stand it anymore and
stop watching, but the updates keep me informed without making
me nuts.

I do have a question, though.  I have not heard much about Opal and
Palmer lately.  I did see one post about Palmer and Adam, but I would
have thought Opal would have spent some time around Erica with Mona
being so sick.  I was really sorry to read about Mona's being killed
off.  She is probably the only person who doesn't take Erica too
seriously and, IMHO, the only person who Erica really trusts.

Just MHO.

I think the reason Dylan won't break up with Brenda is he has a big
heart and really doesn't want to hurt her.  But knowing Brenda she will
give him this big show down make him feel real guilty.  She want be
miserable for long.  She is such hot sh-- that she could find someone in

Hi Days fans!  Do let me know if anyone else went to see Matt at the
new Sears in Valencia.  But, yes, I braved the 90 degree heat to
see "Jack Deveraux" at Sears.  (What a concept--Jack at Sears.)
It was sort of an odd p.a. (personal appearance).  Sears had him sitting
at a table stuck in the middle of the Women's Dress Dept.  And there was
(literally) an "oompah" band playing across the aisle.  I sure hope
Matt likes the tuba.  I got there about 1:00 and there were maybe
15 people in line (mainly kids).  Matt did not seem especially cheerful,
but then I wouldn't be cheerful sitting across from 5 guys wearing
lederhosen playing tubas while I sat amongst the dresses.
But I digress...  He looked very good. He's gotten his hair trimmed
(but no, it's not short.)  He wore light-blue demin jeans with the knees
torn out, a dark-blue denim shirt (fastened with metal studs) and his
cowboy boots.  I told him every Days fan I knew missed him.  He said
it had been a long, dry summer and that he hoped things would improve
soon.  I congratulated him on the birth of baby Grace and he really lit
up at the mention of her name.  Said she was beautiful.  (That's one
proud papa!)  His publicist Caren Day was there (anyone know Caren?)
And she hustled me on with a "next!"  So that is the end of my report.
Besides those tuba players were making me nervous...   Tomorrow, Michael
Sabatino in Burbank...        --Maureen

OK, I just had to de-lurk to ask:

Speaking of hairdos, I have always wondered how Lillian, Beth, Mindy,
etc, etc (insert name of your favorite long-haired soaplet--even Alex)
get their hair to stay up and out of their faces WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE
MEANS OF SUPPORT.  Cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die secret hair pins?
*I* have long hair and mine never looks like that (of course, I don't
have a make-up and costume department to back me up ;^) ).

BTW

Yes, Eleni *could* get pregnant--happens all the time.

BUT do you think GL is going to  do 2 pregnancies at once?  Bridget's
has the best long-term story potential.  Soooo...after all the grief
Eleni goes through wondering whose baby it is, then she loses it,
right?  Then Frank and Eleni can join Ed and Mo at some fertility-loss
support group.

AND 

Has everybody forgotten that Mo used to work for Fletcher at the paper?
 Springfield's answer to Dear Abby.  For a committed domestic type,
she sure has held a lot of jobs!

I was amazed at Mo's cleavage shots too--I kept thinking "What is
she doing coming to work in her nightgown?"



Oh, and thanks to all you regular posters---I get my daily jollies
reading what you think about Moo, W-B and all.  Keep up the good work!

I do miss Alex; she was one classy lady!

Once again I have a few minutes before class...Hi, everybody!  I am
doing well but this semester is going to be VERY busy.  :-(

My thoughts on Whirly World:

I can't believe that Frantic is back with H2D again--where is her good
sense?  Oh, sorry, I forgot who I was talking about for a minute...

K-Lip and JoolSlut finally did the nasty...what a HUGE surprise.  (NOT!!!)
I do feel kind of sorry for Angel, even though she needs to buy some
new clothes and get a hair-cut.

I really like Anus and Court'me together...I read in two different soap
magazines (SOP and SOD, I believe?) that there is something big in the
air for the two of them...SOP said that they are going to get married.  As
interesting as that is, I have a hard time believing it--it hasn't been
set up at all.

I wonder when Roseanna and Hutch are going to get together...

Yikes I'm late, got to go!  (more later, maybe...)

I'd like to unlurk for just a moment to add one item to your list:
   11)Showing up at the funeral of anyone, let alone a friend whose
      husband you've been having thoughts about, wearing a tight, bright
      blue mini-dress with a scoop neckline and then further accentuating
      the obvious social faux pas with more fashion faux pas--adding a 
      wide black leather belt, black nylons, and (I think) black boots.

      I could not believe Frannie would wear that ensemble to Caroline's
funeral.  I kept expecting someone else in the funeral to point out its
tackiness.  

Back to lurking furtively.

I think I have it figured out.  First,you have to admit,she looks great
for her age.  I mean,she's gotta be in her 50's,don't you think?  At any
rate,even if she's only in her 40's..she still looks good.  But,that's not
why the men love her.  It does help to look good to get the initail attraction
going though.  No,Holly knows how to play the part.  She studies her man and
then she plays the part of the woman they want.  For example,with Roger she
is always pretending she's not interested in him.  She knows Roger loves a
challenge.  With Ross,in the beginning,she played the business woman who
came to  town and got it all together in such a short period of time...later,
when he needed a "victim," she played that roll to the hilt.  With Dr. dead,
she was the woman in need of saving from the mean ex-husband. 

You get the point. She can play whatever roll she needs to and lately that
has meant taking on the roll of the victim constantly!  Drives me nutso.

Well, how nice of Michael to scream at Hillary about having a party for him.
He didn't even say it nicely!  What an ungrateful pig.

Ok, I'm sick of Victor.  That cheezy grin of his is driving me crazy! Example:
"Ok, my darling, you don't have to tell me where you were at 10:00 at night.
-sigh- *cheezy grin*" AAAAAAAA! And he always says "Right now".  He is getting
on my nerves lately!

How about that lovely kiss Blade smacked on Ashley right in front of Jack.
She could of at least walked him to the door.  Since when was she supposed to
be going out with him? You figure Brad would be camped out at her doorstep.

Speaking of Brad, how nice of Lauren to strip down to her lingerie in the
middle of her office.  And of course she has a spare rob in her dressing room.
I wonder what the pschologist would think of that!  I half expected  them to
go at it in the middle of her office.  He doesn't seem to be missing Traci too
much.

Well, maybe I should put a brief update of what happened today for those who
didn't see it and have no clue what I am talking about:

Party: Cricket and Danny play it up some more and then all guests leave.  Mike
tells Hillary he hates surprises and never to plan things without him after
everyone else leaves.

Nikki: Goes to the family clinic, doctors have no appointments that day, has to
go back tomorrow at 9:00 (same time meeting with divorce lawyers) calls Jack,
Jack says be there or he's having the meeting without her, refuses to tell
Victor where she's been, Victor sighs and smiles and doesn't seem to care.
(Yeah right, it's late at night and all she says is "I had an appointment" and
he doesn't care? hardly believable!)

Lauren/Brad: Leaves party, go to Lauren's office because Lauren has to return
dress, strips in front of Brad, and goes and gets her "spare robe" and talks to
Brad about his love life.

Well, that's about it. Sorry if someone usually posts these. I didn't think of
that until now.
                           Becky!

	This is just from a semi-lurker. I have not watched OLTL in over
two weeks because of classes and I noticed yesterday that it had gotten
really boring. I did homework through most of it. I do see potential in
the Kevin/Rachel romance if they devolop it in another storyline. I like
the way they play off one another (besides he is cute!). I was also 
touched by the scene whe Billy's dad came to his son aid when he was
hit by that homophobic bastard. other than that, the show really dragged
on. Same old stuff!
