 Ok folks - is it my imagination or what - Ned and Jenny flying from the
 Carribean and in the limo for 3 hrs beat Tracy and Paul who just drove
 from Port Charles - so where is this cabin - if we are to believe they
 left at the same time - or is it just SOT (Soap Opera Time)

Comments on comments from Wednesday's show.

I agree that Ned is going to push the baby issue until
he pushes Jenny away.  I can see him pushing and pushing
until she pulls away and runs to Paul.

At the same time, Tracy will be pushing Paul to be a
real husband.  Pushing and pushing till he runs to
Jen.

I guess then Mother and son can lick their wounds together.


Re: Baranski and Julia
They sure are making Baranski out to be a jerk.
I mean did you get a load of the lines he was using the other
day.  "One dance with me could change your life".  GAG!!!

Looks like Baranski and Tiff might have a go at it if Sean doesn't
breakdown soon.  The Kid issue AGAIN.... bound to be trouble.
Especially if Baranski is some sort of slut.


I agree, they are wasting Julia.  She has alot to offer the
show if she could get a juicy story going.


As for the quote of the day...... my submittal is:

Bill:  "This stuff will grow hair on your chest"
Holly: "I didn't know that was a desirable trait in a woman"
Bill:  "I like a woman with small tufts of hair here and there."


As for the snake.  I too wondered why he didn't play
Indiana Jones and slice the snake with the machete.  At least
they wouldnt  have to worry about it slithering into the cave while
they slept.


Special Note:
Kerry, I just read your Tuesday update and it was a crack up.

Skanky Henchman and sweaty duos.... what a hoot.

My theory for Nikki's motivation for pushing AJ back into his parents house:

a) She wants him to get back in the good graces of his RICH family
    for obvious monetary gain for herself down the road.....

b)  It is hard to play doctor with the Doctor when you live
    with your boyfriend.  Perhaps she wants privacy so she can set
    up for the "Seduction of Simpleton."


I can't believe he WANTS her?????
After everything she did??  He had plenty of opportunity to
boink  her and acted like she disgusted him.  What changed???


This could be very ugly.

usually they don't do that if a new actor/actress is coming -- in fact
they sometimes re-do the flashback scene with the new person.  i guess
they are not going to recast mindy for quite awhile.

I'm pretty sure Helga told Dimitri about his father... she
said that she knew that Hugo strayed, but that he always came
back to his wife.  Helga wanted to know if it was the same
way with Dimitri (this is when he was regularly meeting with
Erica in the hunting lodge).  He never really answered the
question that I recall.  I should think he would remember this
conversation, tho, and stop acting as if his father was so
perfect.  How many people think that Dimitri believes Edmund's
story of his parentage, but won't admit it to anyone else?

Not me.  The characters barely know one another so we have no emotional 
investment in watching them have sex.  Plus Jenna seemed to "allow herself to 
be bought" because she didn't want to do prison time.  

I'd be interested though in learning what made her the person she is.  Of course
the relationship won't last--Roger poisons everyone he touches...

     I don't think this is necessarily true.  We have BOTH Payless

     the two stores (Payless shoes & Volume shoes) are owned by the

This sounds like a really nice scene ... the kind that could kind of
choke a person up if done right.  It kind of reminds me of an
Erma Bombeck column I read ... she tells the story of being young and
raising the kids, driving around in the car and putting her arm out
to protect them when she stopped.  Then she talks about the kids growing
up, etc.  Last, she tells how she was riding in the car with her daughter
and when they had to suddenly brake, the daughter reached out and held
her (Erma) like you would your kids.  It's hard to explain, but it was
very well written and kind of shows how relationships change as parents
age.

>Merrickness.  Dimitri wanders home and REFUSES to ALLOW Edmund to

I assume the capitalization indicates Dimitri's bizare emphasis

I personally like both couples.  The two brainless (but nice) wonders kind
of belong together, and I think Hayley needs a more nice and mature guy 
after the creepy (transformed) Will and childish Brian.  I like the new
Charlie, BTW, even though it is a bit :-) of a stretch to connect him 
with the old Ken-doll Man of Enchantment.

     A the "thing" was a soldering iron.  Solder is a tin and steel
alloy that comes in a small strip - and a soldering iron is a medal
rod that is heated up to melt the solder.  The solder itself cools off
rather quickly and is used to bind too metals together.  It's very
useful for cementing wires together.

     A soldering iron will cause a fire in much the same way a
clothing iron will cause a fire -- in and of itself it's not flammable
but it can get REAL warm, causing something ELSE to catch fire.

>But then this whole scenario of "going to confess his sins" throws my

     *I*'m going to still argue the point.  It's not that I think that 
Carter is really good deep down and didn't WANT to actually HURT
anybody - but from the way he treated (and is treating) Galen he seems
to enjoy playing mind games.  He'd rather hurt someone mentally BEFORE
he hurts them physically.  Sort of like a cat with a mouse -- the cat
will PLAY with the mouse for a while until kitty becomes hungry and
decides to eat the mouse.  So - Carter wanted to scare the Dillon clan
by starting a fire - or ALMOST starting a fire and then having Trevor
"wonder" because he would have "known" that he unplugged the soldering
iron and left it on the table.

     One more question -- Natalie is INDEPENDENTLY wealthy - there are
2.5 CHILDREN living in the house (Haley being sort of 1/2 way between

Blade went to talk to Neil about forgiving Drucilla and giving her another
chance which Neil said "no" to. Blade lectured Neil that he must be perfect and
never made a mistake in his life that he needed to be forgiven for. Blade then
walked out and left Neil to think.

Drucilla came home in a really sad and down in the dumps.  She gave Aunt Mamie
the magazine and told her to look at the centerfold. Aunt Mamie refused at
first but at Drucill'a insistence, she took a look and was totally shocked. She
started in on Dru but Dru told her to please not scold her about it because she
had enough of that from everyone else and she just didn't have the energy to
listen to it again.  She explained to Aunt Mamie that she did the centerfold
because she wanted to do something that would make everyone proud of her.  It
did not dawn on her that she was doing anything bad. Dru told Aunt Mamie that
the mag paid her 7500.00 to do the shoot. Even though the other pictures were
destroyed (by whoever, Blade, Jill, etc) the mag went ahead and used the test
shots that she had done for them. She informed Aunt Mamie that Neil took his
ring back and that they were done and that Mr. Abbott fired her. Aunt Mamie
asked her what was she going to do and Dru just sadly stated that she really
did not know and she went to her room.

Aunt Mamie went over to talk with Mrs. C to ask for her help. Aunt Mamie
explained to Mrs. Chancellor what Drucilla did and why she did it. Mrs. C is
reluctant to get involved. Mrs. C explained that she doesn't know if there is
anything she can say to John to get him to rehire Dru. Of course, Brock and Rex
overheard the coversation from the parlor and came out when Mamie left asking
what she was going to do and Mrs. C said she did not know. She went to take and
drive and think about if she should get involved. She did end up at John's
office just as Jill was introducing John to the new model to take Dru's place.
Jill and Kay had a few words (the usual bat and cat words).

Michael realized that Cricket was wired for sound. He threw her on the bed and
ripped the tape recorder off her. He took the tape out and threw it over the
balcony. John went to look for it but could not find it. John posted flyers and
ads in the local papers and around the hotel offering a reward should anyone
find the tape. Michael ended up at the LA airport all smug and called Hilliary
and talked about how much he missed her and that he wanted to marry her that
evening upon his return.

Drucilla packed her things and left. She left Aunt Mamie a nice note along with
the 7500.00 check that she made for the centerfold shoot. She told Aunt Mamie
to tell everyone that she is sorry and she did not mean for things to turn out
the way they did.

The way I remember it is...
Erica and Phillip had a one nighter (brief affair) which resulted
in Erica getting pregnant (She was pregnant is real life).  Erica
decided to have an abortion (I think in NY).  Phillip found her
before the abortion and asked her to marry him for the baby even
though they went in love.  After they married Erica had a miscarriage
and had a hard time dealing with it and thats why she was sent to
Oak Haven (At this time she having her own baby and took quite some
time off).  Since they weren't in love the divorced.  End of story.
