I was having lunch while watching the scene you mentioned and almost
choked on it. What nerve he has! First of all he is NOT married to
Nikki. Nikki is married to Jack, and if the thought of having an
abortion had even crossed her mind (did it??), I would gladly wish she
rot in hell. Jack is the good guy here. Victor better not forget it.
Geez, he's stolen the man's company and his wife! And now he has the
audacity to be disgusted by Nikki carrying her husband's child? I wish
someone would just shoot him!

Why don't they put Timmy on the police force?  He seems to have a good nack at 
figuring out who is the "bad guy."  At least more of an idea than Trevor does.
Or does Trevor just have a way of overlooking things that are dangerous to

Ciao,


Now you know I did not hate this episode, sometimes it was rather
boring...but there were some enjoyable moments.

I just loved the stuff with Victor. The scene with him and John was
nice. But what really made the show for me was his conversation with
Julie.  I think that they are much more enjoyable together than he
and Viv--though I like Viv. But I don't know, their relationship seems
more complex. As Vixen stated in the past Vic and Viv were to sappy.
With Julie there is an adversarial side, an admiration side, and a
hidden sexual side which I really enjoy. And they were so enjoyable
during the Cruise of Deception. I digress but no matter how stupid
that storyline was, I rather liked it, for there was so much going
on, and so many characters played a part--equally. With J&J, Bo and
Hope, and Ickula and John, the mature, reserved relationship between
Julie and Vic was a pleasure. I remember when Vic had the stroke and
Julie visited him...they hand such a tender scene; it was to Julie
that he first reacted not Carlips.

I loved it when Nikki tore into Carly for lying, and Lizard's comment
about "from out of the mouths of babes..." Another character to speak
for the majority of the fans, and bring another "perfect" character down
a few pegs.

I also did not mind the stuff with Kim and Shane--I guess sentimentality
to years back when they were my favorite couple. 

I liked John today...and was glad that it focused more on him than on
Ickenstein. I did not mind their dance...it was touching--don't kill
me Peels--but for John that is, and I have always liked that song
they played (a real oldie from the 20 or 30s).

Very little Carly too. Though Crystal still had the morose look--sure
because of IzshereallygoingIcan'tbelievethegoodnews--but it is so over
done by Crystal, and she is supposed to be so strong, and she should
be a little better for John's sake....

Okay, I like Hayley and I feel it's time that I jumped in and defended
her.  I know that she jumped off the wagon and wasn't pushed, but
everything wasn't her fault.

When Brian and An Li got married, Hayley had a right to be upset, after
all, Brian was HER boyfriend.  And even if Brian was doing this for a
noble reason, he should at least have talked about it with Hayley
beforehand.  But he didn't.  He married An Li and he and Hayley broke up.

Hayley married Will, and I think this pretty much cancelled out Brian's
wrong.  (I know, two wrongs don't make a right, but they each married
the wrong person.  They could forgive each other and move on.).

After this, Brian slept with An Li.  It's true that he and Hayley had
broken up, but he slept with An Li twice and neglected to mention the
fact to Hayley when they got back together.  Now, you could argue that
Hayley had no right to know about this, but Brian shouldn't have lied
about it.  He led Hayley to believe that the marriage was in name only.

She told him that she had never slept with Will, and he made her believe
that he had never slept with An Li.  If this isn't lying and betrayal,
then I don't know what is.

And then we come to Dixie.  Hayley could have lived with the fact that
Brian was bopping some other *girl* while they were apart.  She expected
as much anyway.  In fact, she was *sure* that he was.

What makes Brian such a scum is that he got Hayley's hopes up about them
getting back together and then she found out that he was sleeping with
her father's ex-wife, a friend of hers.

If Brian and Dixie thought that what they were doing was perfectly fine,
then why did they keep it a secret?  Why was it so important that Hayley
not know?

Dixie took total advantage of Hayley!  I know that Dixie didn't ask to
be Hayley's confidante, but there's a difference between just listening
to someone's problems and giving them advice.  How can you give a rival
advice about the boy you're both going after?  Especially when the rival
doesn't know that you're rivals?

Brian and Dixie just botched this whole thing up royally.  If Brian was
saying goodbye, why in the hell did he have to sleep with her?  Wasn't a
good-bye hug or a peck on the cheek more suitable?

Are we FINALLY getting to why Drucilla has been estranged from
her family?  Are we FINALLY?

I think a confrontation is in the offing, since Dru overheard Ma
Barber make her proclamation as to Olivia not deserving the ordeal
she recently went through, where Dru SHOULD!  And this is supposed
to be a "Christian" woman!

Lillibelle (who the HELL thought up that name?) ought to be
ashamed of herself.  Any mother worth her salt would NOT wish
something like that on ANY of her children, while claiming to
"love" them at the same time.

While this turn may be true to life for some people, it's awful
to think there are ones who do this sort of thing.  The Barbers
also being Black is, to me, doubly sickening.

Her "Christianity" isn't doing shit for her as a human being.

Kevin

P. S.  My apologies to anyone whom I may have offended by my 
statements above.  I know there are true Christians out there.
This fictional one doesn't speak well of them as a whole.  If

Okay, that's it.  I've lost all patience with this woman.  Pardon me
a moment while I go scream into a pillow.

[muffled histrionics omitted]

So I assume she finds out she's pregnant, figures it's A-M's, and
stays with him for the baby.  Or her mother comes out of her coma
and starts talking about what a WONDERFUL son-in-law A-M is...I'm
*TIRED* of all this nonsense.  Can't we just throw A-M in jail and
get on with the next thing???

An unrelated rant:  It seems Nick has picked up Paul's nasty little
cough.  Didn't we do the Unidentifiable Terminal Disease thing all
those years ago with Leslie-Ann and Hilary?  Do they think we're all
too young to remember that??

Okay, I'm being difficult; forgive me.  I think I'm disgruntled about

OK, yesterday (Wednesday 10/14) we learned that it was the anniversary
of Nancy Eckert's death (has it really been a year?), so I have a
question.

Sly was very distraught over the fact that it was the first anniversary
of his mother's death.  Bill treated it all very cavalierly (Well, Sly,
I didn't know you missed your mother that much.)  GIMME A
BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nancy was Sly's mother!!!!  Granted, she wasn't the greatest mother in
the world, but she was his.  How could Bill be so insensitive??

After the kid cries on his shoulder and tells him how much he misses his
mom, Bill dumps him at a friend's house and goes to have dinner with
HOLLY!!  Excuse me, but doesn't he think that in this case, his son
might be a little more important than his girlfriend?

Yes, Jack is the one who kissed Angelique but Erica is the one who did the
nasty with Dimitri and Jack knows this.  I got the impression that he was
being a gentleman by not bringing this up.  (Kinda like when Clinton
didn't harp on the Bush's involvement with Hussein during the debate Thu.)
In both cases, I wanted each to say something but understood why they didn't.
Also, Jack never asked Angelique to leave her spouse.

You have to admit, Jack and Erica wouldn't have been having the conversation
if she hadn't started talking about Angel, trying to sound concerned about
the Merrick marital problems.  To top it off, she tried to pin those problems
on Jack.  I thought he was too nice to Erica.  To me, she's at her worse when
she's in that self-righteous/nosy mode.

Happy Friday,

Hello, folks!

It's great fun to read r.a.t.s. to get the latest scoops on the
soaps, and everyone's fine opinions!  

However, with all the traffic in this newsgroup, it can be difficult 
to keep up with everything.  Half of all the posts since 1986 have 
been posted in the last year!  There are a few things that would
make reading this newsgroup easier, especially for those who
read it over a slow modem line, or who pay for their news feeds:

1) Please remember to include the soap abbreviation in your
   subject line.  And when you follow-up to an article, please
   look at the subject line, and edit it to include the soap
   abbreviation if it isn't already there.

2) When you follow-up to an article (especially a *long* article),
   please edit out everything from the quoted article - including
   the quoted person's signature - except the points you're replying to.  
   It's nice to see a *little* of a previous article for a reminder, 
   but many of us have already read the whole thing before, and don't 
   need to read it all over again.  It can be extremely annoying to see 
   a page or more of quoted text, and then only two original lines at 
   the end of the article.  If you don't know how to use your editor, 
   ask someone at your site.

3) If someone asks if their post is being seen, and you want to
   respond, please email them directly, instead of posting your 
   response to the net.  

4) Try to keep your signatures of a reasonable length.  Having 
   your signature longer than the actual article is considered
   poor net etiquette, and longer than 4 or 5 lines isn't usually
   necessary.

5) And now, a public service announcement :-)
   If you have a technical question, consult the soaps-faq 
   (frequently asked questions list), which is posted monthly.  
   It's also available by sending an email message to 
   mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with
   "send usenet/news.answers/tv/soaps/faq" in the body of the
   message.  If your question isn't answered in the soaps-faq,
   ask someone at your site, who is more likely to know your
   particular software and hardware configurations.  If you 
   still can't get an answer, post to the net (preferably to
   a newsgroup which specifically deals with your question), and 
   include information about your software and hardware (we don't 
   all use the same thing), so someone can give you a knowledgeable
   answer.  If you think your question and its answer should be 
   included in the soaps-faq, send me some email.

When Jeremy found DinaHo (cute Lance) at the hospital
with a gash on the top of her head and bruises all over

I'm no Dr. but aren't you supposed to check pulse, breathing
and above all, NOT MOVE the person????  They were in a hospital
he didn't even call for help!!
