OK, everytime somebody comments on this I get confused.  Maureen has, off and
on, been the total career woman.  She used to be the head of Cedars Hospital,
for heavens sake.  Admittedly, that was quite a few years ago (I'm pretty sure
it was OldMaureen, Ellen Dolan) but this Spaulding thang is not the first
time MightyMo has been obsessed with her work.  Ed needs to chill about that.

Since I'm posting, I may as well comment on a few other things too....

--The other day when Gilly was talking about "Selina" I totally thought
  she said "Solita" and I immediately thought of Kent ;) and I thought
  that we were going to be in for a whopper of a story, but then I 
  realized that it was simply my overactive imagination. :)

--I can't believe they are doing this to Mallet.  If I have to hear him
  talking in that dumb "I'm yelling because I can't hear myself" voice
  for very much longer there is no telling what I will do!

--Here's my (very) scary prediction after yesterday's show:  When Roger
  finds out about Blake and Ross he's going to force them to break up.  I 
  don't know how, but he will.  Eleni will have left Alan-Michael and he
  and Blake are headed for reconciliation #3.  I hope not, but I see it
  coming.

--NewBlake is an excellent replacement.  Seems like she's not trying so hard
  to be Sherry Stringfield any more, but she is very very Blake.

--I HATE HOLLY SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!  Can you imagine if this woman
  was YOUR mother???

--Pardon me, but if I were Lillian I would not be being a houseguest for 2 1/2 
  months in the home of the man I love so that I would know every time he
  and his wife were doing the deed...

OK, I'll shut up now.

don't recall what day he was born

No kidding!  I don't think I've ever seen so much cleavage.  I kept

Keywords: make-up & mucus

I think Linda Dano has been great lately. She's been doing a fine job
especially with Alicia Copolla. BUT, there are two things that are
annoying me about her. I agree that they are minor, but they still bother
me.

First, lately she has been showing a lot of grief. This is very understandable
since she has lost the love of her life. She knew him since she was sixteen,
had a child together and married him later in life. Now, what is bothering me?
Its her make-up. It's immaculate, there is plenty of it and it looks great.
But, this does not portray a woman that is going through so much grief. A
woman who just lost her mate wouldn't care about make-up and her mourning
would be more convincing if there was less of it, much less, especially
the bright red lipstick.

The second thing that bothers me is that when she cries, mucus comes out
of her nostrils (gross). There, I said it. Soaps show facial closeups that
make the liquid pouring out of her nose even more obvious. I don't know
how you feel about it, but it turns me off. For God's sake, use a tissue.

Sorry about the pettiness,
John

I think Gordan Thomas (Is that his name?) is a great actor and could
pull off any scenario they throw at him.  The other Masons were good,
but this Mason is the most believable *as the son of CC.*  (IMHO)

I think that without Julia (and mind you I think that is as big a loss
as Cruz) that Mason could still be an interesting character.  He would
be D.A. with a romantic interest in a new attorny in town.  Let's hope
he can keep that alchoholism under control.  With out Julia, he would
be sure to cook up some real good schemes!

Grape - MY thoughts EXACTLY!!  The stuff I posted about sICKly being
pathetic was mostly about Friday's show.  On Monday, compared with
Abdulla - sICKly was Sir Lawrence Olivier!  Although  I can't stand to
watch a show filled with sICKly, I figured they would give her the air
time due to her impending death (only 7 weeks to go!) and figured - ok -
what the heck.  BUT  I was NOT prepared (altho I should have been) for
Carplips to get all the AIR TIME - Sobbing and whining over her
"patient"!  For god's sake - I know doctors are human but this was very
unprofessional. She looked upset in front of sICKly and that really is a
bad move.

Subject: Y&R: Just some general babblings!

Hi all! After a long summer I finally got my computer account back and can hook
into the soap board again! Get ready for some general opinions!

Victoria - Blah. I still can't stand her.  Miss grown up wants to run off and
get married to a guy she watched sleep with someone else. Please! Get a clue!
She didn't so much as yell at him.  She wins my most unrespected character
award.
Lauren/Scott/ Paul - I'm sorry to those of you who like Lauren but she is too
self centered for my taste.  I agree that Scott shouldn't have hit on her and
pressed her so much but she was the one who lied to him about his baby in the
first place. I'm in Scott's corner. As for Paul, he needs a new storyline.
Enough of this "I must aid Lauren" crap.  Let's see.  We can hook him up with
Hillary? nah. Too predictable. Lynn? nah. Too stupid. How about Tish, Blade's
little photography helper? She can be a secret agent or something. We need some
big disaster to occur. Spice up the show a little. Any thoughts?


Victor/Nikki/Jack/Ashley - I must admit that I wanted Victor and Nikki back
together but they made Jack and Ashley so likeable that I'm starting to root
for them. Nice pregnacy twist but who couldn't see that coming a mile away!
At least they are making this difficult for them. But then again this is a soap
so everything must be difficult.

Well that's all for now! Oh Ashley actually said goodbye to someone on the
phone the other day. Faint!!!

   Have you caught HBO's SESSIONS?  I really enjoyed that show too.

Come on why all that crap of Carly being so effected by what
is happening to Ickula....I mean why showing her break down,
and why does she even mentioning it to Lizard and Butthead--
I realize she did not name names--I still thought it was
most unprofessional....All this is yet more airtime wasted
on Carly....why did she have to moan around about Ickula...
I suppose Spaci can't handle emotional scenes, but still
I think it was more of the same Days of Carly's Lives crap
