I was just thinking about this last week.  It was someone who was trying to

I think C.J. is Milagro.  He was born in an Indian village after Tina plunged
over a waterfall.  She was led to believe that either she had miscarried or
that the baby had died.  She later helped deliver Gabrielle's baby and broguht
him back to Llanview.  She tried to pass him off as Cord's son and named him
"Al" in honor of Al Roberts, who had died.  Later, after Gabrielle reclaimed
her son, and kept the name Al, Tina heard aboout the legend of Milagro and
returned to Argentina to find her son.

Hi Tad!

Ya, like Margaret said.

Also ... I've been watching AMC since 1970 -- when we first saw Ruth
Martin walking down the path in the park.  (Remember Ruth?  No, I
guess you wouldn't since you have amnesia now, huh?)  Anyway, Ruth
is a nice person, sort of a busy-body, but then she means well.
Anyway, I've enjoyed all the characters on AMC - EVEN THE ONES WHO 
KEEP US IN SUSPENSE FOR OVER A YEAR!  (Does this person sound 
familiar there Tadsky?) 

Seriously, we are thrilled that you are finally returning to Pine 
Valley, and reprising the role of Tad.  Obviously, from the many fans 
who have written you, you know you are a "wanted" man.  We've watched
your metamorphosis from egotistical creep to gentle, caring man.
I'm anxious to see what the writers have planed for your character. 
(Of course, we all know that they can sometimes write a character 
into a well, too!  Ha!)

Welcome back, MEK!  We've missed you!

Yes! I rewind this scene several times just to hear it again and
again! And if I'm not mistaken, HolDumb slightly chuckled as he said it.
I wonder how many takes it took before he could say it without 
laughing hysterically through this line.  

Another funny scene from yesterday's show was the scene between
Frantic and H2D.  They were discussing "how to we begin again after
all that's happened?" stuff again.   One shot of H2D he had dry eyes
and then Frantic said something to the effect that they both knew
if was pretty much over and suddenly H2D had tears streaming down
his face - the worst fake tears I have ever scene.  Needless to say
it was just another dopey scene for these 2.

Did anyone else notice one of the scenes between Josh and Meg where
he "kissed" her before he left for Chilly's - it appeared as though
neither one of them really wanted to kiss.  Josh bent towards Meg
and she sort of pulled away - what do you think is going on between
these two?

For what it's worth, Jenn, I agree with you 100%. I have really come
to dislike Dixie (I swear when Haley was talking to her, she said
"Ditsie" :-)) They are just too goo-goo together and I dislike the
pairing still. I think it might be a natural instint on the part of
Haley to want retribution, yet she protects those two?  I am not saying
I wish that Dixie would lose custody of Jr. but I think that naturally
Haley should want her to be punished, yet she is mature enough to actually
defend them. Those pictures would have been almost enuf to make Haley
sick IMHO and should cause her to want to be revengeful. She was, after
all, being totally honest with Dixie, not trying to keep Vixie from
bedding Brainless. At least, that is what I think. Dixie was pretty cruel
to her too when she first showed up. I don't think Haley ever did anything
to her, that I can  remember. And she forgives and defends Gloria? Ditsie
is kind of irrational, I think. Ever since i read an article in Episodes
"what I did with my Emmy" or something, in which she said "the cat is
gone but the Emmy is not", I haven't liked either Cady or Dixie much.
Maybe she didn't mean that article to be as harsh/unfeeling as it 
sounded to me, but that is how i took it. 

You know, I just had another thought. (oh no! :-), I realize what
happened with Craig (to Dixie) was horrible. I guess maybe she is
still in such pain from that ordeal, she could have an unconscious
need to be vindictive herself. I think she should see either Dr.
Tolan or Dr. CAZ. :-)

I couldn't agree more. I think not "everyone" was in agreement that

Greetings, Inmates!

This is non-spoiler-type news from the soap rags, but it's news nonetheless.

The architect (whose name escapes me right now) to be played by Terry Lester 
will apparently be getting involved with Easily...at least at first.  I'm not 
real pleased that they're giving the Faux Easily a storyline.  Bring back 
Melanie and THEN pair her with Terry Lester.  Ooooooo....

And some VERY good news.  Mary Kay Adams (GL watchers will know who she is) is
joining ATWT as an outspoken marketing exec.  This woman is a pistol (or at 
least she plays one extremely well) and she's GORGEOUS!  I'm thinking that 
she would make a good match for our lonely Corkadoodle.  Tom Wiggins (IMHO) 
is one of the best actors on the show, and Kirk is a good character, although
terribly underused.

But the cute thing is that he loves to make me breakfast...but his thing
is waffles...which I hate only because he makes enough to feed an army and
by the time he is finished I am starved and can only eat one since he makes
huge belgian waffles...and he gets disappointed and thinks that I don't like
them...and with my waist line...I definitely in no way can eat more than
one....So when he offers to make breakfast...I request eggo frozens....

But he tries....we try to not cook as often as possible due to the fact that

Greetings all!

   I was standing in the supermarket line with a NEW check-out person and had
much time to look over the "National Examiner" soap predictions.  Here's
what they had to say, paraphrased, as I didn't purchase the rag, uh,
I mean valuable periodical:

1.  Dixie and Tad are to be wed!!  (Accompanied by a picture of the two
    in wedding garb.  Couldn't remember if this was a picture of them
    from the first wedding.  Definitely wasn't from the second wedding.
    I'd remember that dress, Dixie had it on for about two weeks.)
    However, the marriage will be very rocky as Tad wants to spend more
    time with his son, Jamie, than Dixie would prefer.

    {Dixie has been such a dits lately that I could care less if her
     wittle feewings get hoirt.  Anyway...}

2.  Erica goes through much emotional trauma as Mona has a relapse with
    her cancer.  (Aren't we surprised?)  However, she does NOT find comfort
    and support with Dimitri.  It is Adam's shoulder that she leans on.

    {If this is true:  HOW MANY TIMES CAN THEY GO BACK AND FORTH WITH THESE
     TWO???  PUHLEASE?!?!?!!!}

3.  Haley tumbles off the wagon only to be dramatically rescued by her
    mother, Arlene.

    {She falls off the wagon again?  As you might have guessed, I'm not
     too impressed with these.  Of course, you do have to consider the
     source.  Hopefully, AMC is keeping the really juicy stuff under
     wraps.  *yeah, right*}

Exactly, and how public was it of Brian and Dixie to have a water
gun fight in DIXIE'S HOME?????????  I would never call my own
damn living room "PUBLIC."  Unfortunately for Dixie, it doesn't
matter if she cools down in public when Adam is willing to hire
some sleaze ball to take pictures of her in private to be used against
her in a custody battle.  This is what made Hayley (IMO) come off as
a sore loser - because Dixie *knows* she has not been around Adam in
public with Brian since Junior was in the hospital (2 weeks ago!!!).  
Hayley sounded like something had just happened recently, like the
kiss that HAYLEY observed minutes earlier!

While I did think Dixie acted lame towards Hayley, Hayley should have
just come out with it and told Dixie that Adam has pics of her happy
family and is going to use them against her in a custody battle.  
I guess the whole thing is supposed to show us how torn Hayley is between
doing the "right" thing and letting Dixie get what she deserves for being
so cruel and insensitive.  If she had no thoughts of vengeance, she 
would have just come straight out about the pictures.

  Sucheta,

  I do have a sense of humor.  In fact, I find much of GH
  hysterical.  When another GH watcher here at work and I
  discuss GH we laugh a lot (often because we're incredulous 
  at what the writers are doing).

  But, some of your posts are over the top.  You may have
  put a smiley in your recent post, but the vituperative
  manner in which you post about Holly every time her name is mentioned
  by someone, or the way you lovingly speak of Anna (wasn't
  it you who mentioned that you wear your hair like her and you'd 
  name a child after her) seems more than just watching and
  enjoying a soap.  

  You may not realize how you come across on the net.  People
  at my site who read the GH posts feel the same why I do about your
  posts - that you are someone who is too involved in the fantasy 
  world of the soaps and needs to get a life.

  If you've just been joking all this time, I think it's time
  for you to use smileys on a regular basis. If you haven't been
  joking, you need to get a grip.

  Suzanna, I thought that stuff was great - vintage Mason and Julia.
  I loved the scene at the polling booth yesterday too. These too
