Hi Everybody!

I am a *longtime* AMC fan (since I was 4!  My Mom used to 
prop me in front of the tube whenever it was on, and I've
been hooked ever since).

I keep up with my VCR, but miss a few days here and there.  
I don't know what I've missed lately, since most of the 
posts I've read I don't quite agree 
with.  Or I don't understand!  (always a possibility!)

Brian/Dixie/Haley - Well, admittedly, Brian going back to 
Dixie after Haley rejected him does sound very uncool - 
but he's had such a rough time in his life, and gets dumped 
on so much, I can't help but think he and Dixie will 
be good for each other.  Haley, on the other hand, has been 
ticking me off for a long time.  She's either nasty, accusatory, 
and conniving, or whiny and pathetic.  I used to like her early 
on (I loved her punk look!), but for the 
last year or so I've wanted Brian to dump her.

And as for Dixie - well, with all the bizarre stuff that 
she's been doing (my roomie and I had taken to calling her 
'PsychoDixie') I don't know if I'm as big a supporter as I used 
to be, but there is still a lot in the character that I like.  
I am also happy that she and Gloria are friends again, since 
Gloria is just about my favorite of the newer additions to 
Pine Valley.

Please tell me what is going on with this Corinth/Pine Valley 
thing?  Where do they get off bringing a new town into this?  
Did I miss something?  Is it really another soap crossing 
into AMC - and what is the point?  (I don't watch anything 
other than AMC - never found anything else interesting 
enough).  So I am very confused.

Last bit: My favorite part of AMC is that it is always 
best when it keeps its sense of humor - so many times I 
laugh at loud at what goes on.  Its a nice balance to the 
serious scenes, and makes it more realistic (that's why I liked 
Janet from Another Planet - no way did I really believe the 
psycho lookalike sister bit - but she had some great lines, 
and that made that [forever!] plot more interesting).  

And is it just me, or do storylines seem to be taking 
longer to resolve?

Just a few thoughts from an {now} ex-lurker.

This is just to keep you all posted - Margaret, CAZ, and Nancy ONLY 
let me know if you see this (I need to know if it gets out - but I 
don't need 15 mail messages coming to me).

We're having some computer problems with the move.  Interesting, I've
got Jimmy Buffet playing Incommunicado on a tape.

ANYWAY - at this time I can't post, thanks to Margaret's wonderful 
list I can read the posts -- if I could find the time :^)

The machine that many of my files are on will be down for a while.  
What this means to YOU all is that I can't be counted on for
keeping track of any birthdays that have been sent to me recently 
(the past week or so) so next month when I post the list again BE SURE
to CHECK and make sure any changes you THINK you've sent me.

OH well, more later

I've grown to like the "selfish little bitch".  After Monday's show
I think Hayley and Taylor will become friends.  They both need a friend
and I don't think Anli is strong enough to put up with both of them.

Hi Gang;

No I have not died; just am buried in a pile...of work that is. Am
very behind in the group but spotted this article in our local "Free
Press" on Saturday and could not resist passing it along. Forgive the
editorial comments.



***Life is a String of Crises for Dr. Manning***


As Dr. Carly Manning on Days of Our Lives, Crystal Chappell's life is
far from dull. Carly has refused an arranged marriage, married a man
she didn't love, married that man's son in a ceremony that wasn't
legal and discovered that her stillborn son from her first marriage
was in fact alive in Switzerland [say what??!!!].

"I've been doing this role for over 2 1/2 years and it's been quite
the job" laughs Chappell [ya, all the way to the bank], "Carly handles
a lot of heavy stuff every day---eventually she'll fall asleep and
wake up in Tahiti again [we can only hope]. 

" She's getting married to Bo on December 4. Now I'm told that she's
having old feelings for Lawrence [excuse me, but wasn't she the ONE
who wanted Lawrence and Carly together?!!!]

If Chappell had her way, Carly would lighten up a little. "I'd like her
to be less sure of herself, more fallible. I'd like her to have
fun---but then again she's the tragic heroine of the show" [excuse me
while I go toss my cookies].

Born in Silver Springs, Md., Chappell had a peripatetic childhood,
moving every two years while growing up. Her father, a retired
fireman, would buy shells of houses and, with the family's help,
rebuild them for resale.

Chappell made her acting debut in high school [didn't they all?] in a
bizarre play called Dark of the Moon, in which her character fell in
love with a witch, got pregnant, watched her baby burn at the stake,
and then was raped and killed. Early preparation for her career in
soaps? 

Chappell attended college on a drama scholarship, but majoring in
computer science and journalism. After college she moved to New York,
determined "to be day player on a soap opera."

While she intends to stay on Days until she gets "burnt out" [should be
next week the way she's played] she's curious to try film, "I do get
to read scripts---all kinds, from movies of the week, true stories,
motion pictures with names---not big, big names. I like playing
historical pieces. I'd like to try comedy, but my forte is drama"
[hack, gag wretch!] 


Well that's all for now folks. Hope you enjoyed!
Later

Fig-a-muffin!

I know of a friend who wants to sell about 15 tapes of SB.  They include
episodes of Mason & Mary, Kelly and Jeffrey, Cruz & Eden, Cruz, Eden &
Robert, and others I don't remember off hand.

She will sell them if anyone wants them.  They are all recorded in good
quality.  If interested, just send me email and I'll pass the word onto
my friend.  (I personally bought a few already.)

Oh, Oh me,me,me how much does your friend want for each tape? Just thinking
way back to Mason and Mary, boy those were the good old days of SB. Let me
know.

This just occurred to me: what about Sloana nd Renee getting together?
I could see that working. Other than his obsession with Vicky, I
like the new-and-improved Sloan, and I've always really liked
Renee.

I don't see why Vicky has all these men pining after her. How many
middle-aged married women have every new man in town falling in 
love with her? Please -- no flames: I'm not saying that she isn't
attractive because of the middle aged part, but she *is* married
as well. Renee is attractive, loving, intelligent, etc. and --
*single*!

Sus.

Bad prose?  Bad prose??!  You want bad prose?  Tune in to Days of Carpy's
Lives (oh OK so it's rotten dialog and not bad prose -- same difference).
That stuff with sIckly in the hospital was so sappy yesterday I had to
make an insulin run.  AND she's back to her lousy acting.  You could almost
see the stage directing in the script --"Look pitifully at John" -- and
of course, our girl gives it her most exaggerated best.  Gag.
 
So Spud keep up the good work.  This is far better than Days.

I've been wondering just WHEN NotNat will get her vision back.
Maybe it will be somethng dramatic and have something to do 
with identifying Carter.  I heard he is switching over to
Loving so you might be right that he'll get away.

I think Dennis has improved since he has come to the show. His acting is better
and his speech has improved. I'm also glad that he doesn't prance around in
his underwear. If I have to see Jensen, I'd rather see her as Marly. I'd
rather she was off the show (YES!!). I think her Vickey is horrible and I think
she over reacted when she caught her son with matches. She corrected her son
and she should have left it at that. I saw no reason to ship him off to
her ex-husband. She's just a selfish bitch.
 
I really like the new Iris. I like her very much with Tommy's father. Whenever
they discuss his sickness, I get teary eyed.  I like the bitchy Iris, but when
she is nice I think she glows. I think she display her character in real life.
