AMC Soap Opera Weekly Articles dtd Oct. 13, 1992:

In "The News" "AMC's Gloria Kisses The Wrong Twin -- And Likes It"...
Gloria (Teresa Blake) decides to keep a secret from Stuart (David 
Canary) this week on All My Children.  She thought it was Stuart
who kissed her last Friday, but soon figures out it was Adam (also
played by David Canary) -- acting as Stuart. At first Gloria wants
to tell Stuart the truth, but then, hoping to protect him, she decides
against it.

 Trouble is, a part of Gloria liked the kiss, and even likes Adam (we
knew this! :-))). "She's attracted to him through Stuart," Blake says.
"She likes his pursuasiveness and his ability to take charge. It's those
things she's attracted to."

 Gloria is conflicted about having those feelings for a man who often plays
tricks on her. "She feels like he's making a fool out of her, and she has
no control over the situation. She ends up looking very stupid," Blake
explains. So, for now Gloria will focus on her relationship with the
kinder, gentler Chandler. "The last thing in the world she would want to
do is hurt Stuart," Blake says, "though I think Gloria and Adam are
well-suited. She likes Stuart's honesty, but likes the strength of Adam.
[But both Adam and Gloria are people] who will not take sh-- from 
anybody, and I think that makes a good match."  --Gabrielle Winkel"

Revolving Door (section) "Kevin Alexander's first airdate as AMC's 
Adam Chandler Jr. was Sept. 22. Thomas and Bryan Anbery no longer
play Adam Jr." (caz knows how dissapointed yall are...:-))

There's a big whole page color picture of Kim Delaney (ex Jenny) lying
sexily across a bed with clevage, diamond choker neclace an add for her
movie Jackie Collin's "Lady Boss" Sun. Oct. 11 9:00 est on NBC. 

Taken from the Trivia Questions section:

Which type of flowers are a favorite of AMC's Natalie?

In Sneak Peaks this week: Adam and Stuart's double-dealing leaves Gloria
reeling. Stuart fears his brother may have a too intimate change of place.
Carter gets all fired up over Brooke's action. Dinahlee's trip to Pine
Valley is a smash. An odd pair become a loving couple. Natalie's worst
fears come true. Carter cashes in on Natalie's misfortune. Timmy has
doubts about Natalie's new friend. Brian and Dixie fear Adam's retribution
regarding their affair (caz notes, is it an "affair" if the two lovers
are single?".  Next week: Livia and Tom prepare for their wedding. Mimi
warns Taylor.

There is a photo of Timmy and Melody Anderson. She is holding Timmy's
shoulders and bending down beside him so their heights appear equal.

There are still a few more tidbits/noteworthy things I'd like to post
later.

Hope you Enjoy,

I totally agree here.  I liked Robert when his focus was his relationship
with his parents, Gloria and Abe.  I thought that they handled some tough
issues rather well.  But since this Perrette woman has shown up I think
Robert has been pretty boring.  The only interesting interaction with 
Perrette has been with the grandmother.  She really had me rolling when
she started spouting French at her!

{Hi Margaret}

I doubt it could be taken that way.  Although, I don't smoke.

>I just remember seeing posters showing wrinkled-faced people
>smoking, with a subtitle of "Smoking is Glamorous", when I was younger.

(TAN: You should hear some of the anti-smoking ads in California.
      They sound pretty rough to me, although I've been told by a
      smoker that they've done nothing to deter him.)

Just because the speech was good doesn't mean that it couldn't be
hypocritical.  Yes, Taylor does smoke.  No, they haven't showed that
she's given it up.  However, we haven't seen her smoke lately.  Plus,
it's not like we haven't seen her be hypocritical before.  It falls
right in line with her princess character.  I wasn't too crazy about
her character at first but I agree with others who've said that she's
got the princess act down pat.  Hopefully, she won't do a personality
360 like EVERYone else on the show.  There really aren't enough trouble
makers on the show.  That's probably why it's been so boring.  I would
like if Taylor's character stayed consistent and maybe as a bonus, she
will rub off on Hayley.

Gee, who hasn't done a personality 360 on this show?  Even Erica and
Adam.  Of course, they have been allowed to revert to their old ways.
But I digress...

this pisses me off.  So the whole thing about Lauren coming to the

Lauren must've had ants in her pants, lately, not being kidnapped, burned
to death, or buried alive.  Well, LA is a violent city, "maybe something
will happen to me there?"  :-)

Does anyone have more misfortune than Lauren?

What are people's guesses as to Michael's plan for Cricket?  Will he turn
out to be a murderer as well as a pervert?  I hope he does something to 
Hillary, even though I USED TO LIKE HER, the writers have portrayed her
as an ignoramus.  Get her off the show!  

Toni, I loved your history posts, that filled in a lot of the gaps, when
I couldn't see Y&R on my lunch break :-).

Hey, I know!  They should have had BOTH scenarios.  I mean, we could
have our cake and eat it, too.

What SHOULD have happened:
Sheila and Lauren participate in the Olympics as scheduled (the
wrestling, sprinting, vase-throwing, etc.), but when Lauren is in the
closet, stewing over how she'd like to get back at Sheila, she suddenly
remembers the legal mumbo-jumbo about Scotty.

She escapes from the closet and things progress the Bill Bell way UNTIL
the police have Sheila in hand.  Then Sheila starts spouting all that
stuff about being mistaken for someone else.  And Lauren says, "You
know, she does look a little bit different than I remember."  (In this
scenario, the cops don't have the picture of Sheila, of course.)  Lauren
persuades the cops to let her speak to Sheila alone, to make *sure*
she's the right Sheila Carter (I know this would never happen, but if it
could happen Bill's way, it could conceivably happen this way, too!)  

The cops agree.  Lauren and Sheila have their talk (with the police
right outside in case Sheila doesn't realize that the Olympics are
over).  They make their pact, and everyone's happy, Lauren, Sheila,
Bill, and all the viewers!!

And THEN Sheila wakes up from her dream.  (JUST kidding! :^))

   I like her.  I got sick of the high and mighty, laid back, rich

think that she is doing the blind act rather well.  I may have
gotten a bit misty today (BUT I DIDN'T) when she was holding 
her little Mo-mo.  About the hair.  I rather look at her hair
than the swirly whirly muffin like thing that the old NitNat

Trever and Demento..


Duhna Lee and Carter:
   What the hell happened here today.  Jeremy has a vision.  Duhna heads 
over to Psycho's place to tell him that she is sorry.  He freaks out 
and thinks she is Galen.  He shuts the door and looks at her with those
rapist eyes.  Cut [Cliffhanger].

   And then BAM:
       Now he is at Newelie's bedside.  My question.... WHAT happened to
       Dinah Lee?  Maybe I am jumping the gun and they are going
       to show us this Tuesday....but for today it was kind of
       a glip in the show.

   Dinah is quite a babe but very stupid.  Writers: find a part

blondes).

    I had the same thought, Karen.  In fact, I have been wondering for a while
if this Kevin is supposed to be older than the Kevin who went to Arizona.  I
notice that there was never any mention on Kevin and Stephanie'a relationship
after Robyn Griggs returned to OLTL.   But the situation reminds me of what
happened on two other soaps in the late 70's and early 80's.  I remember Michael Horton on DOOL
was a high school drop out who became an EMT then went through both college and
med school during a two year absence.  Then there is the famous Scotty/Laura
romance on GH where he aged faster than she did over the course of four years.
They started dating when she was a freshman in high school and he was a
college freshman.  When they married she was a senior in high school and he
was preparing to take the bar exam.  At this rate Joey should be a doctor in
another three years.

That Murder scene was really stupid, I agree wholeheartedly.
How in the world could something like that ever happen; so

like they could have came up with something better than that!
To be honest, I was hoping for a little more action!

Hey, I had forgotten about that "one of a kind" clasp on
the pearls.  I bet Phillip is the first to recognize it. 

Speaking of Phillip, right about the time he asked Molly
to be in his movie, he made a secret phone call to "someone"
and said something about "Having someone for them" or 
something.  I can't remember exactly what was said.  Does
anyone else recall this phone call, and did you think it
was kinda "shady" too?  I wonder if Phillip is really a 
bad guy in disguise.  He sure is handsome,tho!  (IMHO).

Good to be back!
