show.

I can't wait for the update ... I have to post this question.

Don't you think it a bit absurd that Gloria didn't recognize Tad in the 
hospital?  She is such a pal with Dix, and we know that Dix keeps pictures
of Tad around.  Also, she has been to Ruth and Joe's more than once, and
Ruth is certainly the type to keep lots of family pictures on the wall and
piano.  What gives?  I know she isn't expecting to see a dead man, but at
least a good stare would have been in order!  Wadda ya think?

Yes, I agree. The X-Mas eve episode was the best single episode we have
seen in years!!!

(Writers, pat each other on the back right now, and yourselves too!!!)

While I missed the traditional style of show (usually we see virtually all
of the characters at parties or dinners in three of the homes), pan to the
trees, and some foreshadowing of couples or storylines of importance, this
way of doing it was very unique and effective.!!!  I was bawling out loud
for the last half of the show!!! (Now we all know why we *really* watch
it:-))))!!!)

PAYBACK TIME

Jenny has definitely been through more than her share
of hard knocks on GH.  But watch out, Tracy, it's payback
time on WED30DEC.  A mad-as-hell jenny lets Tracy - not 
to mention Ned and Julia - know that she's not going to
take it anymore.  And after Jenny packs her bags and leaves
the guest house, Tracy suffers another blow:  Ms. Quatermaine-
Hornsby's worst nightmare comes true when Paul tells her off
and hits the high road himself...

The next day, all that glitters is not gold for Bill.  He and
Holly attend a glamorous New Year's Eve ball on THURDEC31.
But after the other guests are showered with surprise gifts,
Bill feels left out - and suspicious...

Desparately looking for a job, Lucy visits Julia on TUE5JAN.
Lucy's hoping for a position with Deception - but she gets

Do you know what ROTFL means? It's what I've been doing for the last 5

Oh yeah, this sounds delicious. Fiason and Bill would be great. Maybe

Yeah, you can wish, I can wish, but will our wishes come true? I've heard
that Holly is leaving GH, and Dim is possibly leaving too, so there is
some hope yet. Now if Jules would get a backbone, forget the Nedling, and
hook up with Scott, that would be great. I also want to see Karen dump
Ears, see Ears go off to Harvard, and never ever return. Then Karen and
Jagger can get together, and she can become a scooter tramp.

The woman who is playing the realtor also played an equally ethical
doctor on an episode of Star Trek:TNG.  In Star Trek, she played a
doctor that was not opposed to trying new and risky procedures on 
patients.  When Worf's back is broken in an accident, she conveniently
takes advantage of the Klingon stubborness (I'd rather be dead than

OK I admit I am *very partial* to Mr. Michael E. Knight but I gotta
add and tell ya that he looked So Sweet and Cute when he was talking
to Adam Jr.! Those eyes were sparkling! He has the cutest facial 
expressions! I have had "crushes" on certain actors, I think Richard
Gere is pretty cute and I have always loved John Travolta's face/bod,
buns, but Knight is amongst my favorites and considering how many 
entertainers there are, I'd say I am pretty picky! He is not like
totally masculine looking, but he is far from feminine looking (IMO).
He has a certain charm because his features are like chiseled or
something!! Well, anyway I will defend him to the end. I think he is
A-dorable! :-)! And, don't forget, we all have our own taste to what
*we* like, and we have every right too. Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder, and I would certainly love to behold him but I know he's
chosen his wife already :-) (and I am happy for him!)...

This sorta reminded me of something I've been wondering about
for a while.  I remember that when Stuart was first 'discovered'
in PV, it came across as a kind of spooky mystery thing (wasn't
Erica involved?  looking for clues about Adam's 1st wife?) and
that Stuart was supposedly wildly unstable and potentially
dangerous.

Now he is friendly and kind and sweet and wonderful.

So, my question is: what was actually supposed to be wrong
with Stuart?  Was he ever diagnosed with anything?  Or had
Adam locked him away in shame?  (and shame for what?  he 
always says he admires Stuart above everyone else!)

I mean, early Stuart was always afraid Adam would lock him
in a home, current Stuart is a valued member of PV who works
with children!!

Just a little confused...

TAN = Tangent.  People put this one in the subject line when
what they have to say is not really related to AMC, etc.,
so others add TAN to their kill files if they don't want to
read non-soap related subjects.

For example:

(Not ME, I'm ALREADY married :)

Happy New Year, everyone.

'Ward' isn't any more fake than 'Ned'; both are fairly standard nicknames
for 'Edward'. And, excluding the woman who ran the spa, everyone just knew
the 'guests' by first names--no titles and no surnames. He was surprised to
find out that Monica was his aunt; the difference is that he didn't care
about the family tie and she did.

As for Lila having up-to-date pictures of the grandchildren... It all
depends on whether anyone bothers to have pictures taken and send them to
her. My grandparents rarely had recent pictures of my brother and I. We just
didn't have them taken very often.

Yea, i just said this in an earlier post. So for Christmas Eve Nat will
see! Wow, are they gonna be happy for a day or two! :-)

The one about Opal and Palmer is kind of endearing! I wonder if Opal
doesn't *think* she sees Tad, and this brings on the delivery. Only
no one will believe her that she saw him....(?). This sounds like a
good scenario to me...(since I thought of it :-))) Ya know, he's taking
his walk around Christmas eve in the snow and Opal looks out the window
and sees him, and goes into labor and then he's gone and she's having
the baby. I think its funny they just have to have a snowstorm on Xmas
eve....:-)

Thanks Trish for the scoops,
