they showed them, but I really don't remember what they were.  Something about
Paige telling Mac that she couldn't authorize release of the money he needs. 
Also Mac asked Gary for help and Gary was video taping Mac giving Mary the money.

I read that Bill's only going to appear in three episodes.  So I'd expect him to
be gone after this week.

Dear Abbey,

     My name is Hayley Vaugn.  My life is a living hell.
My mother is an alcoholic and my father is the town
punching bag.  Right now my mother is serving time so
I elected to live with my rich daddy rather than my
Uncle Porkchop (because my daddy buys me expensive
things.  I am very beautiful but I constantly fret
over my lost (stolen) boyfriend who can't even stutter
correctly, meanwhile I'm looking a gift horse in the
mouth (i.e. Charlie (his mouth does sort of resemble 
a horse, tho)).  I would rather nap on the couch and
whine about how some older woman stole my boyfriend
while I was married to a rapist, than go out and live
my life.  Everytime I think about doing something nice 
and just (testifying for Ditsi), all I can do is see
red because she's the one who stole my "great"
boyfriend.  What should I do?  Please help me!

                              Hayley

Dear Hayley,

     You poor, poor child.  Life's been rough on
you hasn't it dear?  As I read your letter I rubbed
my thumb and forefinger together for you (world;s
smallest violin playing just for you).  Now GROW
UP AND GET A CLUE.  Quit yer bitching and start
living your young life!  Haven't you learned 
anything from all those Al-Anon meetings you've 
been attending.  Write me again when you have a 
real problem!

                               Abbey

This makes sense.  I figured she couldn't have spent the ENTIRE first
20 years of her time on the show merely going through husbands.  That's
especially true since Lisa manages to juggle a half dozen businesses while
still going through husbands like Kleenex.

Anyway, believe it or not, I actually got a chance to WATCH an episode the
other day, Wednesday I believe.  Those of you who are NetVeterans know I don't
actually watch the show much except when I'm on vacation.  Anyway, a couple
notes:

LilDebbie sure is well adjusted for being in intense psychiatric care for 
so long.

I can't believe they made us (well, you guys...) sit through a whole
summer of Duh...Hutch and Rosehand moon and dream over each other for them
to get set back so quickly.

Cargo looked like she seriously needed a Valium.  She was either dead serious
or bouncing off the walls!

I've really missed Elizabeth Hubbard (Juicy)-- she's just great!

Gram still can't act!

And finally, how can ANYONE watch that show without a VCR to zip through the
commercials.  I was about bored to DEATH wading through the endless stream of
commercials.  It would drive me NUTS to watch that every day in real time.

And to all my dear friends on the Ward, I wish you all a Happy Holidays.  Yup,
it's time to head back to the homestead, so no NetAccess for about 2 weeks.
I'll see you all again soon.

Followups to email too, please, as I won't see the articles!

I don't think that Christopher Lawford can leave AMC yet. 
He has to sleep with Haley first.  I am sure the two of them 
are going to do it at least once.  Here is my reasoning.

Deflowering virgins is the purpose of the various Charlies.
Cute little blond Charlie, who was in love with Julie was 
Cecily's first. 
KenDoll, Man of Enchantment Charlie was Melanie's first.
So it only stands to reason that Chompers will be the first
one to sleep with Haley, the only living virgin who is the
widow of a rapist.

I think that Gary must be one of those occasionally recurring characters,

Okay...that's because it was Ernesto Toscano who "died" with Hope --

I just have to add something here... When my fiance moved in with me a few
years ago, _I_ was embarassed to have him find out that my most waited-for
moment of the day was when I could relax, turn on the old VCR, and watch 
GH.  I assumed he'd be a "typical guy" and think I was an idiot.  Well, 
strangely enough, he sat down with me one day and asked about the different
characters and plot lines, and soon enough, he was hooked.  We used to 
watch GH every day, together, until he took a job that keeps him out late.
Now, I just leave the tape, rewound and ready to go, in the VCR, so he 
can watch it every night.  I think it's wonderful, and I'd give any guy
who admits to watching soaps a second look...  (if I weren't engaged ;) )

Take Care & have a good holidays  ...

I think they had several children  together. But I remember reading within

I liked it.  Not quite as much as last week, but it was still
a good episode.

Well well well.  If there was a murder (hint hint) wouldn't THAT be
quite the occasion to call in a recently-reinstalled-police detective
who used to have a fling with Paige, especially now that she seems to
be quite available again???????  Seems like the golden opportunity
here.  Ahem.  (Poor Tim. He just sunk even lower than usual in his
chair.)

Where Vanessa thinks she's going with this "guess what I found"
thing to Anne.  Please.  Anne could just chew her up and spit her
right back out.  In fact, I hope she does. Because that woman (vanessa)
just doesn't deserve to be on this show.  She's almost as bad an
actress as poor little Betsy is.

*sob*. Please. I can't talk about this.  It's still too new for me
to even think about.  *sob* how they..they...murdered HF. :-(

I know several men to would just about do the same thing, given a
chance. In fact, my office mate seems to be quite the Nicollette
admirer and I doubt he'd have *any* problems falling deeeeeeply in
love with her in minutes.  Of course, his girlfriend might have
a problem with that. :-) 

Other comment: Claudia. Jeez laweez.  Just when I was starting to
like her juuuust a little, she does that to Mac.  Granted Mac's been
kind of a patsy lately, but really.  If Mac would *only* listen
to Karen just this once.  

Okay. Enough babbling for one day.

Someone else mentioned that all these SB actresses were trying out for the 
part.  IMHO, none of them would be good because the accent was sooo much a
part of Gabrielle.  I can only see Fiona Hutchinson in the role, but if
she really wouldn't leave GL, then why not try and get Finola Hughes 
(ex-Anna, GH).  Yes I know her JACK's PLACE was a hit and is coming back
in January BUT series always fail too you know.
	No, wait a minute.  If the show did fail, I would want her back as
Anna on GH.  Still, only an actress with a British accent should play
Gabrielle, I think.

I think part of it is that "uncomfortable feeling" that Ted says he has had

"grumpiness" is due to his fear of this unknown feeling.

Thanks.  After hours of thinking, I finally remembered where I had heard
this tune before.  It was background music in a 1984 or 85 episode
of General Hospital, one featuring the reuniting of Luke and Laura.
(I have a very good memory for soap opera background music; occassionally
I hear a piece and can say "I heard that for a minute during an Edge
of Night episode in 1982")

Lisa Haynes suggested to me that I ought to address this topic in
the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions list) which is posted monthly.
I hesitated doing so, since 1) I've only seen a definitive answer
for the AMC group; 2) I can't reach Jerry Carathers by email any more
(he has left his previous address) and 3) it's such fun to speculate :-).  
I am *thinking* of adding the question "Do the writers of soap operas
read r.a.t.s.?", with the following answer:

***
Many readers of this newsgroup have wondered if the writers of their
soap opera(s) read r.a.t.s.  I've never seen a definitive answer for
any soap besides AMC.  James Kiberd [Trevor Dillon] told Jerry Carathers
[an AMC fan] that the writers read both the UNIX and Prodigy newsgroups.
If anyone else has proof that the writers of their soap reads r.a.t.s.,
please email me (gibbsm@ll.mit.edu).
***

Please send me email if you have strong feelings about whether or not you
would like to see the above in the FAQ.

I've changed the subject line from AMC to ALL, because I'd like to
hear from any soap fans (not just AMC-ers) reading r.a.t.s.

I hope to hear from a lot of you!
