REVOLVING DOOR

OUT:  Tony Rhodes says goodbye to Salem and DOOL next month.  According to
a spokesperson for the show, writing off Jesse was story dictated.  Rhodes
is not upset, saying he learned a lot of the ropes from the people at DOOL.
His last airdate is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 4.

'THIS IS THE PITS!'

The suspense continues this week on DOOL when the lives of Marlena and
Roman are in jeopardy.  It turns into a critical situation for Roman when
Philip tells him Lacey is his sister Kimberly's other personality.  Roman's
plan to confront Lacey backfires when Clare, Kimberly's third personality,
emerges and pulls a gun.  In her attempt to escape, the gun goes off and
Roman suffers a massive head wound.

Meanwhile, Marlena, who's still in the pit, is bitten by a poisonous snake.
Stella refuses to give her first aid, and instead has Marlena read a
message to Roman claiming she's been sent away on a secret government
mission.  Later, Marlena is almost able to secure her safety, but Stella
manages to foil her attempts.  After hearing the news that Roman was shot,
Marlena once again attempts to climb out of the pit, but as she reaches the
top, the pipe she is clinging to breaks and she tumbles to the ground.

TELEVISION

This week on Wheel of Fortune Michael Sabatino and Melissa Reeves are
suppose to appear along with other actors and actresses from daytime.  They
are raising money for Higher Education, I think.

***

Friday, Nov. 13:  Corbin Bernsen, Staci Greason (and you guys thought we
were rid of her), and Lisa Howard (ex-April) will appear on LIKELY SUSPECTS
on Fox.

*****

There is an article in SOD about Sex on Daytime.  This is what Micahel
Sabatino had to say about soaps' careless attitude toward sex.

"Lawrence has been thrown into the sack with people without any regard to
safety," he says.  "It's just gratuitous sex without consideration for the
reality of the times.  Part of that is because he's a villian.  [I supose]
it's a statement that these characters are bad, decadent."    He
understands the soaps' need to entertain, but he argues that "there is a
certain degree of responsibility you have even if you are calling it
entertainment.  Teens approach [the soaps] like hero worship."

*****

SOD also talked about The Pit and Marlena.  They said basically the same as
SOW, but some things they said are just too interesting to not post.

Portraying a helpless victim has been quite a switch for the actress, who
normally sports an immaculate, professional look.  Hall, who calls shooting
the captive scenes "a vacation in hell," reports that she's drastically
altered her morning routine.  "The preparation for the scenes is more of a
'lack of preparation,'" seh explains.  "I don't shampoo in the morning; I
don't do my facial scrub; I don't do manicures."

For the past year, DOOL has been trying to find a new complication to
rewire R&M's fading attraction. ("They were on shaky ground to begin with,"
Hall remarks.)  Thrusting Marlena into Stella's snake den could prove to be
just the right ticket.  "until now, Marlena hasn't really been able to
understand what Roman went through during his seven years of incarceration
," says Anderson.  "Now Marlena's confinement will point up and give her a
better understanding of Roman's suffering.  And in a totally unexpected
way, Marlena's terror will draw her closer and closer to another man in her
life -- John Black."   

Insiders are already predicting that this November "sweeps" story will
finally give Hall a real shot at a long-deserved Emmy.  "In fact," says one
source, "we think Marlena's jailer -- Elaine Bromka -- deserves a
supporting nod next year, too."  The question is:  Will either of them be
out of that pit to get it?

VCR ALERT

On Thursday, November 19, the moment of truth has finally come for Carly.
When she finds out that nIcky is really her son, how will she respond?  How
will it affect her relationship with Bo -- and her relationship with
Lawrence?  Then, on Monday, November 23, when Carly and Lawrence find
themselves snowbound in a deserted cabin, will find out how she'll respond.
Look for new developments on the Roman front.  After being in a coma for a
week, Mr. Brady takes a turn.  But is it for the better -- or for the
worse?

*****

IS THERE A LAWYER IN THE HOUSE?  Real-life attorneys judge the soaps.

The [malpractice] trial involving the Lombard family was run like a
three-ring circus.  I couldn't tell who was putting forth the evidence at
any one time.  One side would call a witness, but the other would get up
and ask questions.  There were also never any objections made, even though
both attorneys engaged in speech=making and answering for the witness.

Mickey Horton was giving legal advice to John Black concerning the latter's
acceptance of a family business.  I cannot image a lawyer giving such
advice without exploring the finances and ownership of the business.
Mickey said it was all legal.  How did he discover this?  Reading a
contract does not tell mcuh about a business.

HOT SHOT

Frances Reid on Matt Ashford....

"He's a really intelligent actor and a lovable person.  Matt is a joy to
work with.  It's a wonderful thing to know that no matter how stupid you
are or what you say, Matt will have a response and it will always be in
character.  I love him."

That's all for this week.  Please excuse the typos, but I was in a big
hurry when I typed this.
