Add me to this list.  I agree with the poster who said she sounded
better than Em-Ann, but then again, so does a wounded dog.  So I guess
that doesn't really say anything, does it?  I'd rather that she stick to
speaking roles and leave the singing to Livia.  

Well, there's my 2-cents worth.  'Nuff for now.

Subject: SB--all time favorite storyline
Date: 8 Jan 93 22:32:17 GMT
Organization: Silicon Graphics, Inc.

my favorite storyline had to do with gina and keith.
gina and keith used to play toro, and right before he split for
good, he said, no tonight we are going to be keith and gina.

i always thought they were good together for a soap couple.

i also liked keith's flashbacks in which he played his mother
and did it convincingly.

second favorite scenes would have to be the bad guy whose name escapes
me who had a very evil laugh and chased eden.  in fact he was married
to her...he was a wonderful bad guy.  "and she didn't even have to
change her initials..."  you'd think i would remember his name...
he was hilarious.

i wasn't watching the show when mason and mary were on.
i thought she was a nun.  the other day someone posted that she had to
get an annullment before she married mason.  anyone want to explain that
storyline?

thanks.
joyce.

I agree that the way that Jack types can probably be very annoying to
people and appear fake.  But, I am also under the impression that
everything that Matt does is deliberate for the characterization of
Jack.  While Muldoon has an obvious inability to play the piano, Matt
may actually use this way of typing to accentuate Jack's idiosyncracies.
Matt also tries to bring out many of Jack's imperfections, so perhaps
typing just isn't one of his fortes -- although being a newspaper man,
that does seem kind of odd.

Well, this whole week has been a fast-forward party for me.  I am 
enjoying watching Guiding Light, though.

Just be sure that this bizarre thread continues, I've decided to add my
2 cents to the Christmas tree discussion.  We always put up the tree
like three weeks before Christmas, but it had to be down before New
Year's or it was bad luck.  Actually, Dad told me and Mom this just so
we would take down the tree before it turned completely brown.  The more
black-eyed peas you eat, the more luck you have.  The more greens you
eat, the more money you have.  The more pork products in the peas (we
used a ham bone, or just pieces of bacon), the better the peas tasted.
Also, all the cows in the world bow at midnight on Christmas Eve, just
like they did when Jesus was born (I hope that's not a pagan thing too)

And since I feel obligated to mention Whirly World, I will step forward
to make the first off-the-wall prediction of 1993:

Cynthia is the CHILD of either RollsRoyce or NealDownToMe

Also, I live just north of NYC, so count me in on the east-coast
gathering.

  Yes it was depressing,but I'm afraid it won't come close to the scenes

  I hope not.  I am sick of that old storyline.  I understand Ed will
Always be an alcoholic,but you'd think they'd have him do some recovery
for a change.  He's not drinking but I can't believe this man is working
any of the steps of the program he's supposed to be attending on a
regular basis!  Let's hope Mo's death will push him into working the
steps so he's not such a scumbag.

  I don't think anything will continue between them either.  I hope not
because I think they are awful together.  I think Lillian screwed Mo
over,but I do think she honestly loved Maureen as a friend too.  I would
hope that Lillian gets some support from her friends through her loss.
Everyone is there for Ed and he's at least half responsible.

  I was thinking something might actually develope between Vanessa and Ed
when they are helping each other through this loss.  A similiar storyline
to the match with he and Clair Ramsey,or what ever the woman's name was
who is the mother of Michelle. ???  We shall see.

First, I liked her voice.  She is not playing a singer.  She is playing a mom
who likes to sing, and likes singing with her kid.  She has a fine voice and
I think it is great that she sings with her son.  Too many people today are
afraid to sing because they're not perfect.  I love to sing, sing all the time,
but I would be told by a great many people that they don't like my voice.
To me this is something that makes her character more "real".

I liked the scenes too. I especially like it when he called her his "snow
angel." I like Karen a lot, and the possibilities for some wackyness are
numerous. Did you notice the cheap look from the fake snow, when Karen
layed down in it to make a snow angel? You could see the edge of one of
the blankets they used. I wonder if Brenda will go down without a fight? I
doubt it.

New Monday updater to the rescue!
Better late than never ;)
[Like those compound dates]

[Stacy's]
Stacy's sitting on her bed as Clay walks in with two glasses of
champagne [what's he celebrating, her being committed??].  Stacy
tells him that Trisha just called and told her about the fund
raising party for 35 Maple in New York.  Seems Clay already
knew about it.  Stacy accuses him of not inviting her to go
'cause he doesn't want to be seen in public with his mental
case wife!

[The Tides]
Trish and Trucker are getting dressed for the fund raiser.
Kissy kissy - they're going to be the happiest couple of
1993 [yawn].

[NYC]
Scenes of what looks like the Xmas tree in Rockafeller Center
[pretty].  Louie, Dinah Lee, Kate, Ron and Ava are arriving
at the "Skylight Room".  Ron's wearing a fancy shirt - 
complete with sparkling musical symbols.  Seems he's going
to be performing tonight with four other guys in a band
called "Mo".

[Gwen's]
Gwen and Armand are also getting ready for the fund raiser.
Enter Izzy and some old man [her date, I guess] Alan?  They
discuss all the sad things that've been happening lately:
Jeremy, Stacy, Leo, and Izzy brings up Ally's name!  Gwen
questions her:  "Ally?  What's wrong with Ally?"  Izzy covers
by saying she meant to say Ava ;)

[Skylight Room]
Kate and Lou are discussing his cancer recovery.  Ron walks up
and Lou praises him for performing.  Ava and Dinah Lee discuss
Clay - DL still loves him.  They agree that the holidays are
the worst of times :(

[Stacy's]
Stacy's still in bed, this time sleeping.  Clay walks in and
talks to her - he apologizes for what's he's done to her, but
he "had no choice".  He has a flashback of Dinah Lee - but he
has to forget about her!

[Skylight Room]
Shana tells Lou, Kate, Ava and DL that Clay's going to commit
Stacy.  DL stares off into the distance.  Ron walks up and
introduces his mother, Dr. Grace Turner, and another girl
[his date?]  Naomi Jackson.  "Five Guys Named Mo" dance and
sing.  Everyone loves them.  T&T arrive and are surprised to
see Ron performing.

[Stacy's]
Swilling champagne from the bottle, Clay, apparently drunk,
is telling a still sleeping Stacy that as soon as he gets
Jack's AE stock, her life will return to "normal".  Jeanne
walks in and tells him [after he quotes Richard III?  Is
that Shakespeare?  Color me stupid, but made NO sense to me
:)] that love might have saved him, but he'll never get it
since he can't give it back.  She walks out. Clay vows she's
wrong!  He does love! With all his heart! [Sheeya, maybe
himself!]

[Skylight Room]
Izzy and the old guy dance.  Five Guys Named Mo play some
more.

[Stacy's]
Stacy's still sleeping, still holding the picture of her
and Jack.

[Skylight Room]
Five Guys Named Mo play more still.

[No cliffhanger today! ;)]

I do see your point and I too have noticed that the middle of the pack
are always pretty tight.  But if this "random fluctuation" were really
such a strong factor, then I'd expect to see a lot more shifting around
than we do.  DAYS hasn't budged from #8 in months, save maybe a one-time
#7 showing.  Why is it so entrenched there?   I was also paying attention
to the ratings points, which I believe were 5.4.   Usually DAYS comes in
at about 4.9 - 5.1   As Tammy has posted I'm guessing that the John/
Marlena stuff and the Bo and Carly wedding helped to boost things.   Not
so much that anyone cares about Bo and Carly getting married, it was more
the way it was broken up and the truth coming out about Nikki.   Then
again, maybe it was one of those intriguing scenes with Billie and Cash
that did it.  :-)

Aaaaaaaaargh.  NOW it occurs to her that maybe finances might be a little
tight?  Wake up sweetheart - that's the way the world works.  When you're still
in college or just out of college, you do not have unlimited funds.
It's not bad enough that they went off and got married without thinking about it
for longer than 5 minutes, now we're going to have to endure this stupidity.
They'll probably max out their charge cards and have a bankruptcy trauma.
Yuk.

And while I'm on my soapbox . . . Don't you all think that this memory thing
of BigMac's is happening a tad quickly?  If they're shooting for
Alzheimer's here (and it certainly seems that they are), the beginning is
usually a little more subtle than this.  Aha - I just realized the problem -
Dougie had no concept of subtle.  Silly me.

As you can see, I am not in a pleasant mood today.  Jet lag has set in.
I think I should give up and go home.  Do you think my boss will agree?
