Summary: sob story for missing Thursday


Hi everyone,

You all know me as the keeper of the updater list for AW and the
Thursday updater.  I've been very slack in my duties at replacing
updaters and even keeping the list current.  But I always managed
to get my update out in a reasonable time.  Well, now for the sob
part of the story....

You all heard about that nice little storm called Andrew?  Well,
being that I live in Louisiana, well, guess who came knocking at
the door!  Actually the storm passed to the east of us but it was
a too close for my comfort (New Iberia, which was hit pretty hard
is about 30 miles away).  We have VERY minimal damage (only some
shingles missing) but the power was off from 4am Wednesday to 8pm
Thursday.  We have a generator and I did watch AW but since my
hubby was also home and in the "soaps are stupid" mode, I really
didn't get to understand what was happening.  Also, having not
seen Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday's shows I really didn't
understand.

So, can anyone tell me what happened all last week???  Do we know
for sure that Kevin killed Lucas?  What about Rick?

Anyone want to take up updating any day but Thursdays?  If so,
drop me a line.

Thanks everyone for being so patient with me and all the
updaters.

Ruth.

My sister swears by flea combs.   She lives in Florida, where the fleas NEVER

indoor cats only, but the fleas come in on cuffs, etc. If your cat is an

Date: 3 Sep 92 22:10:25 GMT
Organization: OUC, University of Notre Dame


Is anyone else getting as annoyed as I am at the number of times
we see virtually the same scene over and over and over...? How many
times do we have to watch Ed tell Lillian that they are friends and 
Lillian say "no Ed we went past that the night of the blackout. When
are you going to face it Ed? Something's happening between us Ed..."

Every time these two are on the screen I just want to scream!

First of all, I'm sick of Ed turning to another women whenever there is 
the slightest difficulty in his marriage, especially over his wife's 
career.  I mean how many times has he missed supper or had to leave Mo 
to go back to the hospital over the years. But of course that's different
because he's a doctor so of course his work is much more important than
Maureen's.

I'm even more annoyed about Lillian because I used to like her so much 
(the writers are totally ruining her character). I mean really, you would
think by the way she's carrying on so that she and Ed had boinked or some-
thing. She's making such a big deal about one kiss. Get a clue lady! One
kiss does not an affair make!!!

Well I think I've bitched enough for one day. I'll shut up now.

Like I said before now I have two soaps to watch, one for enjoyment (SB),
and one for laughs (DOOL). This is just the sort of thing that doesn't surprise
me about this show anymore. Even if they bring the world greatest actor in to
play the role, what's the point? If you're gonna bring back anyone, then
bring back HowardtheDuck, so that Jack can retreive his money and go back
to the life style to which J&J are accustomed. Are you sure they Hawk and

Hi everyone!!

Perhaps some of you noticed, the actor who played Bill (the vet who tried
to con Mr. Sloan into some scheme and then romanced Linda), Robert Duncan
McNeil, was cast as a regular in the new ABC show "Going to Extremes".
So it appears there's no chance he'll be coming back this season.

Also, I saw that Homefront won an Emmy for Best Hairstyles.  Too bad the
pilot episode didn't get Best TV-Movie, although it didn't really fit into
that category anyway.

Here is the question again...

"Ever since their Pine Valley High Scool days with Jenny Gardner and
Greg nelson, Angie Baxter and Jessie Hubbard had more than their share
of dramatic ups and downs.  While Angie was sweet and studious, Jesse
was street smart, with a weighty chip on his shoulder due to a very
tough childhood.  However, over the years, they worked things out --
again and again.

One of the biggest threats to Jesse and Angie's marriage was the
reappearance of a pregnant Yvonne, Jesse's ex-mistress, on their
domestic doorstep.  Down and out, she had nowhere to run except to the
Hubbards.

After giving birth, Yvonne changed her mind about selling her son
Derek to a guy named Otis, who was working for Mr. Big.  Mr. Big just
also happened to be Angie's deceptive dad, Les Baxter.

What was the name of Yvonne's earlier place of employment?"

And now for the answer....

The Blue Note.

It's pretty humorous that we have to date the subject header on the DAY
we like Carly.  Only one.  Well I'm not an avid Carly hater like some of
you guys but I could certainly stand to see less of her.  Anyway, yesterday
was AWESOME with Larry.  Ummm as for her being in a good mood, well the
character Carly has seen something she could only dream about a few weeks
ago come to life (amazing how soaps work so nicely eh?) and so here she is
so excited about it, that even a visit from Larry wasn't so bad.  Besides,
she did get to give him a shot...and that would please most any Salemite.
I mean there are people in my life that I loathe, hate despise and abhor, but
on a GREAT day I am pretty tolerable with them, and if I could jab em with
a long needle, I'd be thrilled to see em.

Yeah he was a weasel.  Hmmm I liked Taylor though I thought they said
"Kayla" the first dozen or so times (tv isn't so great and my ears are
a bit messed up this week).  For some reason though I could see that actress
portrayed by a brunette better than a blonde.  She was good though, I'll
get used to it.

Frank didn't ever catch up with Eleni.  They were looking for each other
around the hospital.  Pan to diner, where AM bursts in, demanding to 
know where the letter is (demanding Stavros tell him).  Stavros blows 
him off, says it was Frank's letter and leaves to go in the back.

AM begins to frantically search under the counter at the diner.  As
he's tearing through everything *literally*, a hand pops over the
top of the counter.  Frank is holding the envelope, and says "Is
this what you were looking for?"

Great show today!!!

I also loved Nadine reading (very loudly) to Mallet, as if reading
louder is going to help.  She's such a dim-wit.

I think that the original custom in England was to post the banns--i.e.
announce the wedding to all the locals, to give them a chance to search
their memories and see who was sleeping with whom X number of years ago
when the couple were actually born.  Then at the ceremony, the
priest asked if anyone knew any reason why these two should not be wed.
The main reason why any two people should not wed was that they were
really more closely related than they knew, as in unknowing whole- or
half- siblings.  The only place one is likely to run into this situation
these days on on soaps, so they HAVE to keep that line in :)

the writers fooled me twice. my hobby while watching soaps is to 
predict what happens next - don't we all do that? most of 
the time, i've got it, but AMC writers had me twice yesterday. 
first, i thought when junior cried (and by the way, didn't that sound
like a baby instead of a three year old, and wasn't that the most sound
we've heard out of this kid?), i thought dixie and brainless would have
to rush him to the hospital, thereby running into haley at some undgodly
hour of the night. but, alsas, that didn't happen.

then when the doorbell rang at dixie's at an even later hour, i thought
it would be haley, distraught and wanting to "girl talk."

maybe i'd better take some of those "smart" vitamins when
next i watch amc.
