Hello DOOLers!  I hope everyone had a nice holiday.  For some
reason there were no ratings listed in the SOW this week, so I
guess that will have to wait until next week.  However, there is
plenty of other information in there!


REVOLVING DOOR

IN:  DOOL Sami and Eric Brady will soon develop a case of SORAS
(soap opera rapid aging syndrome), and age from 9 to 15.  The
change will be apparent when they return from visiting their
grandparents in Colorado.  Alison Sweeny has been cast in the
contract role of Sami.  Her credits include the movie THE END OF
INNOCENCE with Dyan Cannon, and guest spots on several nighttime
shows.  Her first airdate is Jan. 22.  The role of Eric has not
yet been cast.

Arthel Neville has been cast as Sandra, a woman slated to make
trouble for Jennifer's booming career as a talk-show host,
beginning Jan. 21.  Neville's past credits include reporting for
E! Entertainment Television; her famous singing siblings are The
Neville Brothers.

Ariana Chase:  The New Kimberly

"You can never fill another person's shoes, but you can create
your own.  I hope that I will be able to do that,"  asserts
Ariana Chase who took on the role of Kimberly.  She is a veteran
of four soaps -- Another World, As the World Turns, Ryan's Hope
and Guiding Light.

Chase won the role of Kim while testing for the recurring role of
DA Rebecca Morrison.  (Dani Minnick won that role.)  The actress
will work closely with Minnick in the upcoming weeks, since
Rebecca will be prosecuting Kimberly for the murder of Randy
Huston.

Although Ariana did not get the role of Rebecca, DOOL told her
they were still quite interested in her "for another character
who had just come up and they needed to cast."  Chase described
the next few days as "an unbelievably hurricane-like" experience. 
One of four contenders for the job, she received her audition
script over the weekend.  That Monday, she tested opposite
Richard Buri (Philip).  

"We taped at 2 p.m.  At 6 p.m. they called me and said I got the
job.  The next morning, at 7 a.m., I had to go to work.  I worked
every day the first week," says Chase, noting that she had to
post-tape several episodes to accommodate Pease's sudden exit.

At the moment, Chase is learning tidbits about Kimberly via her
cast mates.  "I'm asking everybody, 'Who am I to you?' and 'What
did I do last week?'  It becomes very much like being a sleuth,"
she laughs.

The show's writers are also using the change in actresses to
change the character a little.  "They're evolving her now,"
Ariana explains.  "I have a lot of overt strengths as a
person...I'm a little bit right out there and kind of direct as a
person, and as an actress I have the ability to bring that into
my work.  Since Kimberly goes through so many harrowing
experiences as a heroine, they really want to have that element
of her being more of a survivor -- sort of a doer."

Among Kimberly's most recent "harrowing experiences," of course,
has been her multiple personality disorder, which Chase hopes to
tackle.  "They want to cure her of that, but they haven't done it
yet.  So I do believe I will have the challenge [of also playing
Lacey and Clare] in the future.  I really am very excited about
that."

WINTER PREVIEWS & PREDICTIONS FOR 1993

Winter Preview:  Passions thought forgotten are rekindled in a
hot new triangle, as Marlena finds herself torn between two
lovers.  Innocent love is put to the test just as it's about to
be fulfilled:  Like Romeo and Juliet, Austin and Carrie are
confronted with a threat that may cost each the love they want
from the other.  Carly must choose between the two men in her
life, Bo and Nikki.  Lawrence is still hovering in the background
to make sure he gets Carly.  Jack comes to terms with a more
complete Jennifer after she crosses paths with a man who teaches
her what love should be.  Salem finds its core families being
tested, as new and old faces come to town.  Secrets thought long
forgotten are reawakened, and the ripple effects are felt
throughout Salem.

Predictions for '93:  Nikki is devastated when he discovers
Vivian kept him from his real parents.  Lawrence and Carly take
legal action to keep Vivian out of Nikki's life.  Nikki seeks
comfort with Bo and Shawn-Douglas.  Lawrence becomes obsessed
with getting Bo out of Nikki's life, and the trick he pulls out
of his hat leaves no hope for a Bo and Carly reunion.  
[Ed. Note:  Hmmmmm....there seems to be a key word in that last
sentence.  Maybe it was Freudian that they used the word "HOPE!"] 
Vivian goes off the deep end when Nikki refuses to have anything
to do with her; Victor is there to catch her.  Kimberly and
Philip get married, but Phillip's past catches up with him, and
he gets drawn back into the pornography racket.

[Ed. Note: THIS IS A WARNING!!!!  Please be seated for the next
set of "predictions."  Make sure you ARE NOT eating or drinking
when you read the following.  Oh, and twinster, start making
extra Bayview Passes if any of the following actually sees the
light of day!!!!!!  Remember, I just put forth the news, I DON'T
write it!]

Billie decides she wants a family, even if it's somebody else's. 
Austin and Carrie are in for a surprise when his mother comes to
town:  It's none other than Carrie's mom, Anna!  [Ed. Note:  This
is ONLY the beginning.....It gets MUCH worse!!!]  It turns out
the man she ran off with when Billie and Austin were children was
Roman.  Marlena is stunned when Roman confesses that he isn't
really Roman -- he's Stefano DiMera with plastic surgery.  Then
she admits she's not Marlena, either -- she's her twin sister,
Sam, who faked her death years ago to outsmart the Salem
Strangler.  [Ed. Note:  These are only the predictions of SOW;
however, it scares me that they put it in print.  Heaven knows
the writers don't need any more crazy ideas!!!!]
