My BH and I always laugh about Chaka Kahn because we went to see this

Hi Chris,

I guess this is my fault.  It means "Armed and Dangerous with
Soap Opera Magazine".  I usually put that in subject lines
when I post "spoilers" from the magazine.  I got tired of typing

Rather than include it all, I wanted to respond to Rose's response
about the instant bond between Nicky, Lawrence and Carly.  I was
adopted, and managed to find my birth mother a couple of years ago.  I
love my parents dearly, but I needed to do this.  Anyway, that instant
bond happened with my birth mother and me.  So, I do believe this can
happen.  It doesn't take anything away from my love for my folks, but
it adds a new dimension to my life.

Oh, man, this is good.  I hadn't had *words* to describe
this phenominon.  The downside is that every time I deflate
my air mattress, I'm going to think of Gnarly.

>do you expect?) and say that i LIKE this bo.  i think he's pretty cool.
>granted, i was a little distressed when he stood out in the snow screaming
>"carly!"

I kinda like RKK too, particularly when he's *not* with
Gnarly.  I liked Reckell, too, tho.  Especially with
Hope.  I wonder what the chemistry between RKK and 
Kristian Alphonso will be like?  And I must say I
secretly wished Bo'd scream "Hope!  Come BACK!" out in
that forest glade.  It did seem a little hokey (but I'm
glad he was written pissed, rather than depressed... and
it was good to see his motorcycle back).

>speaking of names, is no one ever going to care that john isn't named john
>and his kid has a last name that doesn't technically exist?

I wondered about this myself.  But maybe he had his name 
legally changed to John Black when no one was looking... he
certainly didn't want to be known as Forrest Alamain.

>speaking of not technically existing, DOOL has lost its sense of humor and
>needs to reclaim it as soon as possible.

No kidding!  Long, *long* gone are the good old Eugine'n'Calliope
days of comic relief.  Even Jack (the most recent comic
talent) has been mostly morose, tender or distracted lately.

>speaking of old, do we REALLY need victor anymore?

You betcha!  What we need is Victor with a storyline.
Preferably a big one that seriously cuts into the
Gnarly air-time, and does *not* require the services
of the WonderDoc.  Double-preferably, one that would      
include Julie, and a returning Doug (I can dream, can't
I??).

Well, I must say I am glad it's not JUST me who finds
these court things boring.

But I realized the other day that with so many lawyers
on the show, I guess we need to see them doing *something*!

I tried to watch more of this trial, but still find it
tedious and contrived.  Jack and Livia do a great job, but
will lose - where is the sense in that??

Hayley won't have to testify - where is the sense in THAT??

The judge's call about Junior's testimony - did that make
any legal sense?  I was infuriated with this guy, and thought
that his 'line' was strictly for plot-advancement.  And in my
mind, whenever that happens the writing is hitting rock-bottom.

*sigh* So who will have a Merry Christmas in PV?

(Who out there is dreading seeing Dixie as she loses Jr.?
I don't think I'll be able to watch that particular scene.)

Anyway, Happy Holidays to all!!!

Not only that, but Isabelle promised that this would be their
secret...Isabelle would tell NO ONE..and she promptly marches in to
find Cooper and tells him he can't marry Hannah, now that he's going
to be a father. No wonder Cooper thought this was a plot of
Isabelle's.

Now, remember, Cooper told Isabelle that he and Ally had gone to NY.
Cooper finally found Hannah, with Peter the Piano Teacher and he
thought she had slept with him. She had not, but he was heartbroken at
the time, and Ally was there to comfort him.

NOW - I ask you. Who is responsible for Hannah being with Peter, and
therefore for Ally getting pregnant? Isabelle! If she hadn't
interferred, Ally and Cooper wouldn't have done needed comfort and
"it" wouldn't have happened and therefore Ally wouldn't be in this
condition and it certainly is nice of her to support Ally (NOT!).

Something has to happen to punish Isabelle. After all, soaps are
morality plays, aren't they - the bad guys always get theirs. (On a
different track, if the bad guys gets his, I'm waiting for Clay's
comeupance!)

"Parent Traps:  A-M has plenty to occupy his mind when Jenna starts to plan
her revenge against Spaulding Enterprises after discovering that Henry is not
really her father.  Who is?  Frank, too, will have his hands full when his
father, Vietnam Vet who's been MIA for 20 years, returns to Springfield.       
Finally, Elani makes a decision that affects both men."  [Finally!  nuf said.]

"Top Secret:  Wedding bells will ring next spring for one lucky couple...
Somebody sl=pills the beans about Lillian and Ed's one-night stand, but who
will suffer the consequences?  watch out!"  [Harley and Mallet i hope, and
it looks like they will get back together (although i can't remember where
i got that impression....)]

spelling errors are all mine, as are any typos.  my apologies.  [] comments
are mine as well.
