Mary, the scene you are describing where Erica knocks Jack down a couple
hundred pegs was the scene that inspired me to start videotaping AMC
again after taking 5 years off to tape GH and follow AMC through RATS
and Soap Opera Digest!!!  No question in my mind about Lucci deserving
an emmy, but as I've said many times, I don't think she shines at the
melodrama (i.e. family crisis, illness, etc); she is at her best when
she is fighting with people!  I am not sure she will ever get an emmy
because I don't think the people who vote consider these scenes to be
the kind that advance the profession of acting, or whatever the heck 
it is they are looking for.  All I know is that she is damn good at
doing Erica, and no matter how far I stray from being a loyal viewer,
Lucci is the one who always pulls me back!

If you havn't seen the 11/11 show, press 'n' now:
















I am so fed up with the whole Edmund thing.  Who did the writers think they 
were kidding when they started having the "mystery" person follow Erica and
Dimwit around on a motorcycle.  At first they only show the back of his head,
his feet, his hands...  His face is hidden by the helmet and when they finally
show who's under the helmet it's (surprise surprise) EDMUND.  Like we didn't 
know that he was in Budapest and out for blood.  WHo else would it have been?
Silly silly silly!!  And another thing, when Edmund climbs over the gate to
the Wagner estate, why isn't there any sort of security system?  A get-up
like that and no alarm or dogs?? PUH-LEASE!!

You'd never guess who woke up in a bad mood today :)

If you're speaking of the one that was previewed showing Georgie in the auto

It looks as if Georgie will give birth as the result of the accident.  (?)
I hope it's a girl.  (Actually, first of all, I hope everything's okay!)
I, too, hope they give her a masculine name.  In fact, that's why I want it
to be a girl--just to see what kind of name they give her.  (Of course, Cat
doesn't have a masculine name.)

I'm glad you posted.  One other discussion point:

Where do people think Teddy's relationship with Bolt(?) is going?  It's an
interesting combination--and, it seems that he's a challenge for her!  (He
would be for me too--being the backer of her business, keeping business and

That's because if she handled it that way (i.e., letting

Are you kidding?  The liability, should Dizzy lose the child,
is entirely Dizzy's.  If she were that confused then she would
never have been able to guess that Hayley was talking about 
Adam but she KNEW.  She saw it in Hayley's eyes without her

she had to get mean and start in on Hayley about Brian.

Nah, I don't think this at all.  I think she's going to step

I don't think he actually wanted to sleep with her, but I think he was
willing to let her think he did if it would keep her on the string.

He did it soooooo well.  Watching characters do sex scenes is a pretty
boring as far as I'm concerned.  I like to watch them turn each other
on, like Lawrence did with Carrie.

No, Alex is the oldest, then Teddy, then Georgie.  Obviously Frankie
is the youngest.  My guesstimate on their ages (not the actresses' but
the characters') is Alex: 40-41, Teddy: 38, Georgie: 36, Frankie:
28-29.

Posted for Pat Jablonski:

When the scene for Tad's departure was filmed
nearby where I live I posted a description of
the area - Conway, MA (about 20 mins. from
where I live).  Anyway, the following was in
last night's local paper. (the bridge is a 
short distance from Bill Cosby's house).

``All My Children,'' may return to Conway

CONWAY-Attention soap fans, ``All My Children''
may be back in town filming this December.

The daytime drama's producers have asked the
town if it would be possible to remove planks
from the deck of the Bardwells Ferry Bridge
so the water could be filmed beneath it.

Selectmen and the highway superintendent discussed
it this week and decided that would be all right
so long as the television network pays for
replacement planks.

The tentative shoot would be around Dec. 15 from
noon until 5 a.m. the next day.

Rumor has it that the show's former character
Tad Martin who fell off the bridge into the
Deerfield River nearly two years ago during
a climatic struggle with villain Billy Clyde
Tuggle and disappeared may return.  Tad, played
by Michael Knight, was last seen on the show
months ago roaming the country with amnesia.

Karen: I'm with you.  I have also watched the show since it's first
episode.  This has always been my understanding of the birth order.  In
the first season, when the mother was moving, etc., she reflected on her
rose bushes (named after the girls), bringing each of them home from the
hospital, etc.  I believe this is the correct order.

I missed the part where Ashley turned down Victor's job offer.  Can

That's not saying a whole lot, is it?  She's such a pathetic
excuse for an actress that I continually wonder how she got
the job.  I FF through about 90% of her on-screen time.  I
sure hope they write her out, and soon!

On the other hand, I thought Dupree (sp?) showed remarkable
promise.  Her fireworks with Adam were entertaining, she
showed lots of spunk (she and Jack would be a terrific pair
-- I pretty much snooze through Jack and Angelique) and she
didn't even come close to stumbling over her lines (even if
she did seem to hurry some of them a bit).  I hope we see
more of her.  She's smart, she's not afraid to stand up to
Adam, and *she can act* (OK, so I throw together the character
and the actress in two separate sentences -- so sue me!).  

I vote for writing out the entire Marick clan as well as Galen
(OK, keep Edmund with Brooke but only if he gets over the
craziness re Dmitri), and have Jack trying to decide between 
Erica and Dupree.  That could also make for some pretty in-
teresting catfights!

I was thinking the same thing. This story has too many inconsistencies in
it. It had the potential to be a good story. The issue with the phone has
just killed me. When they first got there, the phone was on the table in
plain view, and after that one call, Felicia has more or less forgotten
about it. I know she knows Ryan is hiding it, but even before that she had
plenty of time to ask "where's the damn phone?." Now to make it even
lamer, Ryan throws the antennae away. Hell why didn't he just chuck the
whole thing? Also, if he hasn't caught on by now, then that boy is dumber
than he looks. She has gone from almost hyper (you know how she can be),
to this timid, sick, tired, weird person. I know she's probably not trying
to lose it (knowing he's the killer) and that she really wants to get
home, but it doesn't seem to be working from where I sit.

> This type of storyline is really old and tiresome.

If it's supposed to be romantic (Mac rescuing her and all that crap), then
I'm missing something. It is old. It serves no purpose other than to bring
them together. Surely there is a more original way of doing that.

Well, NBC might be the reason behind the card concerning Sabatino.
