Oh my poor little AMC godchild! Caroline, I hope you stay well my little
honey! I don't envy Ann's situation and it makes me feel really sad
(and angry); when I read her descriptions, it is just like I imagine how
awful it could be. She is lucky but it is far from a picnic :-((. Just trying
to get to a hospital or getting ice is something we take for granted should
be easy, but it is an ordeal now and as she says for some time to come.
I guess if I feel that bad I will have to part with some of my cash
and send it along to the address that Julia Henry posted (thanks Julia!).

Under the circumstances, I will say Ann has a right to be bitchy - Very
bitchy in fact. I am really sorry this happened. It will take years to
get these hardest hit places back to normal, if ever. And as Ann says,
it happened so fast, and takes years to recover from.  :-(((

She has a right :-) I hope that lots of money comes in to help out all
these people, those worse off then Ann. This is such a bummer.

I find that interesting too. It's funny how year after year Christmas always

the two is usually about one soap day. Don't they ever get confused?

Ah HA!!! I knew it.
	While we're on the subject of Courtme, I must say that I really
like the writers' treatment of the character.   The 08.27 scene in which
she unloads to Dr. M about her eating disorder was pretty OK.
	Most eating disorder stories that end up on TV sort of glamorize
bulimia and anorexia.  To be sure, Courtme is more "glam" now that she is
no longer what looks "pudgy" on TV, but every time that we see her ribs
in a bikini scene, we remember seeing her vomit blood.  Um...Um..Ummmm.
it *IS* a contradiction is it not????

>CAZ

I remember Erica having the abortion and I am 90% sure it was while
she was married to Jeff Martin.  Let me check the trivia cards....

"Her first marriage to Dr. Jeff Martin was a disaster, beginning with
the abortion she had behind his back.  She then enjoyed flirtations
with the womanizing Jason maxwell, owner of the modelling agency where
she began her career.  When Jason wound up dead, Jeff was charged with
murder, but Erica's sweet mother, Mona was the real killer.  Erica's
next doomed marriage was to Philip Brent.  After a miscarriage and
nervous breakdown, they divorced.  She then chocked the town by taking
up with Philip's father, Nick Davis.  Years and years later, Erica was
engaged briefly to Charlie Brent, Philip and her old-rival Tara's
son."

(I choose to keep typing after the bit about Jeff since we had also
recently discussed Nick Davis and Erica.  I could keep typing but I
must stop somewhere! ) ;-)

I find this pretty interesting and I do think it could work to ABC's 
benefit.  First of all, DOOL has a much larger audience than Loving, 
so there would be an immediate improvement there.  Second, in most areas
AMC, DOOL and Y&R go up against each other.  These are the three top shows
for their respective networks.  If ABC took DOOL they would not only gain
a new core of fans, but they would also eliminate a lot of competition 
against AMC and might have a chance to challenge Y&R.  The thing that I 
don't think fits is that it would mean 5 soaps on ABC.  Something would
*have* to go to 1/2 an hour. 

I think DOOL needs something like this to slap it into shape, and it could
only do better on a network that has established some sort of success during
daytime.

It would be interesting, however, to have these two triangles run concurrently,
just so we could compare a triangle involving three talented acters with a
traingle involving one talented actor and two duds.  Any bets on which triangle
would get more air time?  No contest, unfortunately...

This would be an incredibly lame cop-out ("It wasn't Kim's fault that she was a
whore in Europe.  She was ill..."), which means TPTB will probably use it.

It is too bad about Isabella and her illness.  Of

As I remember it, Nina and Matt went to Daisy's house in some South

Cliff and Nina did the horizontal bop and according to SO rule #1046980-1,
she has to end up pregnant, and did.
Nina and Matt were already married but she still loved Cliff and
Matt knew it.  He(Matt) made her make a decision between the two
