I've been watching off and on but I did catch all three of these death
scences and Jesse's was the worst.  *sigh*

Maybe they will bring back some memories of Jenny when Tad gets his memory

This is what really bugs be about DOOL.  The writers have a chance to give
the characters some depth and they blow it every time.  They could have some
sort of scene where Marlena John have a few too many at some affair, come
home and boink, or even better, not boink, just come real close.  Later
Marlena can feel guilty about coming close, discuss it with John [No, nothing
happened, M: but I wanted it to, isn't that enough] guilt, guilt, guilt.
Then have Roman find out and start to wonder about his relationship.  Have
John and Marlena agree to avoid each other, create lots of  tension, etc.
etc.

Well maybe not like this but a good writer could have a field day with this
type of story (don't mean to rub it in but the SB writers could have done
this believably and added strength and depth to Marlena along the way).

   Well, I think that I'm in the minority here, but I am going to
   go out on a limb :-).  I HATED Gloria's straight hair.  Several
   posters have said that they liked it.  I think that Gloria's

    The dress really was georgous.  Actually, it reminded me a

I don't think Clint was being hypocritical.  He WASN'T against LeeAnn as
long as he thought that she loved his son.  But once he thought she was
having an affair with Jason, all bets were off.  Clint has always been
this way.  That's the way all the Buchanan men are.

I think Clint is more interested in supporting his son's decisions than
trying to influence them.  The only time he really influenced Kevin was
regarding Duke's custody.

I like this scenario.  Soaps only seem to portray characters of the 
upper class.  They are either rich or have professions that so few of
us have in real life.  I think OLTL does a better job of portraying
people in the middle class than AMC.  Even Trevor who should be middle
class because of his profession is married to a rich woman.  The only
middle class people on the show are Mimi, Derek, Charlie (and he's 
rich by association) and Gloria.  ANd also Brian.

Yes, there *are* patient advocates, Virginia! :)
Most of them do a really fine job, too. They help the families with all
