    Well, I don't know how things are done in the US of A, but this
    could not happen in Ontario, Canada!  Here people put a `conditional
    agreement' together:  conditions such as selling their previous
    house, obtaining financing, etc.  There is a date attatched which is
    the final date for which the agreement is binding.

    This is a form produced by the real estate organizations, not by
    lawyers.  I know, I used to do real estate work in a law firm
    (didn't everybody have a part-time job in high school?).

    The only thing that I can think of is that Lucas has a conditional
    sale, conditional on them giving him financing.  Brooke and Edmund
    would then have a place in line waiting for Lucas to be
    disqualified.

    This is a really good opportunity for the RB(tm) team to discover if
    it is the agent or the organization which is the source of the
    discrimination.

    Raymond.

Subject: DOOL:  Carpy's Wedding...some thoughts
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 16:43:03 GMT
Organization: Hewlett-Packard Corporation, Chelmsford, MA


Unlurking for the first and possibly last time...my job went away as a tempory...
but thoroughly enjoyed lurking these past few weeks.  And being able to keep up
with DOOL since I don't have much time to watch.

My friend and I were discussing about Carpy's wedding and how awful she looked (hair,
make-up, DRESS...) and she suggested that maybe the make-up people and hairstylists
on the set may have done that to Carpy on purpose (tee hee hee), to make her look that
bad.  Because, IMHO, no matter how bad an actress looks or is, that when they "get
married" they look good (for example: Adrianne - she had some bad days, but I liked 
her anyway - no offense to those who did like her). I thought that whole concept of
being "made" to look that bad was pretty hysterical.

Happy watching.  Back to lurking for a few days...then on to looking for a job.
Maybe in my next job I can lurk some more.  It's such fun.  You guys (and gals) are
a blast.

Merry Christmas & Season's Greetings to you all.

Just a quickie.

I must say that I was very impressed with Marj Dujay (sp?) as the
new, albiet temporary, Auntie Viv. I liked her portayal very much.
Its a shame they don't have more actresses of her caliber, and more
stronger women on this show. Thats one of the big things this show lacks.
Balance. They think Carly and Marlena are supposed to be strong, in fact
they are an insult to women everywhere. They do not portray women, in fact
at this writing I still don't know what they portray and MIT hasn't gotten
back to me yet, but as soon as I have an answer I will pass it on to you. :)

But getting back to Marj, I very much enjoyed all her scenes, especially
when she stuck it to Carly and that guy we used to call Lawrence, but
whose new name should be Lawimp or Lawuss. :)

Anyways, thats all I wanted to say, bye-ee.

Is anyne reading this? Are you all on vacation? :-)

I don't know - I think we are getting more and more
clues that she really does think Tad/Ted is her son.

Actually, since it must all come out eventually, I
feel a little bit sorry for her, since they do seem to
have a decent relationship.

But... THREE mothers???

Well, I could handle a mother with the sense of
fun that Opal has, the cooking skills that Ruth
has, and the money that Nola has.

BUT, I'd probably get a mother with the fashion
sense of Opal, the nosiness of Ruth, and the hair
of Nola.   *brrr* what a vision THAT conjures up!

this is why DOOL is so DOCL. Of course, when you consider that other soaps

In TV Guides best and worst of the year, it says that the Worst Episode
was the GH show where Scotty and Dim go to the Home Show! It says "an hour
so embarrissingly inept, even Gary Collins, Sarah Purcell and Wil Shriner
were bad-----and they were playing themselves!"

I must agree, that this was one of the LAMEst things I've seen recently.
It was soooo stupid, even though it had my man Scotty in it. Dim had a lot

Another "from memory" update from someone with a bad case of placenta brain:

Our first big scene is Royce chatting with Jessica.  He has obviously
shared some deep dark secret about his past with her, and altho she 
doesn't seem shocked, she wonders if he has shared this info with Easy,`
which of course, he hasn't.  She suggests that he do this, but we all know,
he never will.

Pale seems to be hanging around for a long time, considering whether or
not to come back to M+A.  He tells Evan that one of the reasons he is
thinking of going back to Zurich (besides everyone being as pale as he is
there) is that Evan treated Court so abysmally and he would have a hard time
stomaching working with him.  Geteven seemed really upset about this...NOT.

Babs is looking really preggers, and everyone seems to be patting her tummy.
She seems thrilled that Frantic is off to Montega, hopefully never to be 
seen dancing on a beach again.  Pale mentioned to her that if she hadn'g
gotten involved with Cabin, than none of the events following would have
happened.  She was totally pissed to hear this.

And interesting development in the dating rituals happened yesterday:  Kirk
asked Babs out to dinner and she accepted.  Hmmm.  What could this mean?

Neal and Scooter banter back and forth, so we can guess that they will end
up in the sack together.  She seems to be playing India Von Halkein all over
again.  At least we don't have to listen to the distorted way she used to
say "Phillip".  

Frantic says goodbye to Larry, who looks totally shaken.  Get over it, Doc.

Lucy has ordered an army of private detectives to find CHilly, and everyone
else in Y'dale is totally disgusted by this.  Holdie askes her if they are
the same detectives that found him months ago, but left him rotting in the
brain dead ward?

Caleb has another jealous fit over Joolie modeling, and she counters with
his jealously over ANgel spending time with Seth, and that she can handle it.
He is indredulous that she would even THINK that Angel and Seth might be
romantically inclined.  Get with the program, she says.  Its really possible,
so get used to it.  He lookes stunned.  She takes off in a huff.

For a reason I don't remembeer, Dunkie is in Jessters office right after 
she has spoken to ROyce, and is left alone with Royces file whilst Jess 
shows R and Easy out the door.  Will he open it and learn the dreaded secret?

Turn in tomorrow for another exciting episode of Whirly World.

Not to mention the mysterious, bushy eyebrows and dark hair (as I stare
at a picture of him).  One could never tell what marvelous words were
going to come out of his mouth either.  I also liked his accent.

I also have to add Doug Williams. He's debonaire, cunning, and romantic.
He always knew when to be whitty, when to romance, and when to shy away
from situations.  His voice was lovely too.  Can't wait to see him again,
even if it's only for one day.

Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 19:53:41 GMT

Does anyone know which companies ran advertisements during Homefront?  I 
would like to write to them as well and thank them for sponsoring such a 
quality program.  I intend to mention that I show my appreciation by  
their products.   Hopefully, if the sponsors themselves realize how much 
we support Homefront, they will also put some pressure on ABC to keep it 
on the air.

As for writing to Bob Iger, I haven't had a chance to write my letter yet, 
but have given some thought to it.  I will be pointing out that HF is very 
popular in this r.a.ts. and that we are just the kind of audience they want. 
As someone else had expressed in a previous post, aside from students, people 
who have access to Internet are generally people who have computer-oriented  
jobs which means higher than average incomes and more money to spend on their 
sponsors' products.   However, I would be reluctant to accuse him of 
purposely trying to kill off HF by scheduling it so poorly.   I think Iger is 
more likely to take us seriously is we don't attack him for it, but instead 
diplomatically (but firmly!) let him know what a huge mistake he has made.

It probably would be a good idea to write to TV Guide, since they were the 
force behind getting ABC to renew Homefront the last time.  Maybe we 
could get them to jeer ABC in their _Cheers and Jeers_ section for putting
HF in a suicide timeslot and only showing it every other week.  

Finally, it wouldn't hurt to write to the head of NBC and suggest that they 
pick up Homefront if ABC cancels it.  NBC has a good reputation for trying
to put their shows in the most advantageous timeslot.  They have also been 
known to take over certain programs that had been canceled by the network that 
had originally showed them.


Keep the Homefires burning!

As a person named Seth,  I was curious about how many soaps have Seths as characters.

I only know of two. 1) Seth was a guardian angel in a Christmas show on the now-defunct

Texas.  He lead Ashley's son back to her, or something, and Ashley gave birth.

2) I think there is a Seth on As the World Turns--the show with Caleb and Holden and

Iva???  I dunno.
