I love reading everyone's comments on my favourite soap, but am
constantly amazed that there might be 150 postings, and maybe only
one or two on Y&R, while there are tons on DOOL and AMC (they seem
to have a real club going, with TANS, birthdays, etc.)!  If Y&R is
supposed to be the most popular soap (don't flame me, please other
soaps fans), are we all just lurkers?  I know I lurk most of the
time, so I suppose it takes a dedicated few to keep the posts
going (how we miss Mike of Penn State now that he's in Berlin)!

We're lucky here in Canada that we get two shows a day - it helps
when I screw up my VCR).

I'v really enjoyed the Michael/sexual harassment tribunal and 
just love the outcome - I wonder how he's going to get even with
the Bug - so much for the girl he had promised would become the
2nd Mrs. Romalotti!

If I see Victor's flashbacks on "where are you going to, my little
girl" one more time, I'll throw up.  As a parent I don't understand
his attitude at all - if he would just say to Victoria that he's
concerned for her welfare and happiness and that he's be there for
her if things don't work out, he could save his relationship with
his daughter.  As it is, if the "marriage" doesn't work out, there's
no way she'll ever admit it and return to the fold - Victor's just
pushed her into a corner.  But then he's always had to get his own
way by force.  Nina's way is much more subtle - I hope she gets 
her man!

When Ryan was out of work, the thought occurred to me that Nina could 
have approached Katherine Chancellor for a position at Chancellor
Industries for Ryan - I'm sure in the soap world there would have
been a spot for him.

I love the scenes with Sheila skulking around Lauren's apartment with
the camera - I suppose Laurena and Brad are so wrapped up in each
other (literally, I mean), that they don't hear the camera click (how
is Sheila getting pictures indoors without a flash?)

Also, with all Nina's money (I know it's tied up in trust funds) surely
she could dress a bit more upscale and do a bit more than just sit
around leafing through fashion mags mooning over Ryan.  In all these
months she's only been on one short trip with her mother and "little
Phillip".  She could take interesting college courses and improve 
her tiny mind!

Sorry if I rambled on a bit - I don't even know if any of this is
getting out:  would somebody pleeease let me know if you read this?

Thanks and a belated Happy New Year to all soap fans, and Y&R fans
especially.

Like a dummy I programmed my VCR to shut off at 8:30 when in reality
the show ends at 9:00.  I ended up watching the entire show in FF
before I realized my mistake.  (Editorial comment - what a yawn this
show is,  3 minute segments followed by 2 minutes of commercials. And
the chemistry between Joan Lunden and what's his name is non-existent.

Ain't that the truth.  He could charm honey from a bear.  
I agree with the person who said that it is taking longer to watch
the show on tape than in real life.  I've been staying up until 1:30 
AM watching the tapes.  Can't wait for the movie.  Even if its bad
it will be good.

I fast forward thru most of the Max and Luna scenes.  They are either
to mussy or just plain boring.  I wish she would sleep with him 
already so they can talk about something else.

It will be interesting to see if the new Gabrielle has an accent.
And will she recognize Max or think he an imposter now that he has
his old face back again.

That might be a problem in REAL life, but in Pine Valley the laws of

Martins.  Actually, that could explain how everyone gets around PV so

When in the hell did this happen?  All the "Lauren meets Sheila" stuff
I saw on B&B last fall was contained in Sheila's "Oh, thank goodness,
it was all a dream" crap we suffered with for a month.

When did they meet for real?  The last scene with Lauren on B&B that
I remember had Ridge telling Lauren about his Dad's new girlfriend,
Sheila, and Lauren glad it wasn't the Sheila _she_ knew.

same here - I hated my maiden name (Peel).  you can probably imagine
all the teasing I got.  I always looked forward to the day I would get
married and get a new name at the same time, hoping it wouldn't be
worse than Peel.

I remember when I was young hoping the same thing.  Well, I got
my wish - I'm a Nelson now.  And Nelson isn't even my husband's birth
name.  He was adopted by his step-father who changed him from Cervantes
to Nelson.  So we both ended up with a "normal" name that no one spells
wrong or mispronounces.  Even if we ever divorced, I would keep Nelson.
No way would I go back to Peel!

last night on Law and Order, i saw the actress who played sharleen
(sorry, never learned her name).  she played the mother of a little
girl who was kidnapped by a radical anti-abuse group because there
was strong evidence that the father, who had custody was abusing 
her, as he had abused his daughter from a marriage 20yrs earlier.
in the trial the guy won, but the organization hid the kid before
he got her back.

sharleen wasn't in too many scenes, but the scenes she was in were
quite good.

on a semi-related tangent, last week within two days i saw the murphy
brown episode with Anne Heche, and the ENG episode with Cali Timmons,
then i saw one of the murphy brown episodes with the guy who used
to play sandy cory (very good actor and character, wish he were

Boy, every time I read about the Schoos, I
can feel my face turning bright red in anger!! How could any one think it's
acceptable to leave a 9 YO and a 4YO home alone for NINE days ???  That's
one jury I'd love to serve on!!  (Whew...it feels good to let off a little
steam on this topic - that couple sure makes me mad!!)
