HIYA, KIDS ............................... HIYA .....

Karen Lyle:  I read your bio and your request for a nick.
	     I gotta say you're about the most normal wardette
	     to pass through these hallways in a mighty long
	     time.  Husband, two kids, you bowl, ... what are
	     you in here for?  Perpetual perkiness?
	     The first time I saw your name, I thought of this
	     town in Pennsylvania .... Carlisle ... which led
	     me to think of Carly Simon ... which leads me to
	     KarLy ...

'Ette:    Good news about your bun.  Take good care of yourself ..
	  we Aunties and Uncles are ready to gush forth advice but
	  you seem to be doing pretty well on your own ...

After watching the Monday and Tuesday episodes of ATWT and reading on
this network that Doogie Marland is actually PROUD of the Caroleg's
storyline ... I feel it's our civic duty to write the man a letter and
tell him about all the loose ends he so blatantly left blowing in the
breeze ...

Obviously, I believe this should be a joint effort.  Clearly there are
many ATWT wardees/wardettes who are as disgusted and tired of the whole
thing as I am ....

First, let's "draw" a time line.  Since the Caroleg's storyline was
first introduced, what has happened in "real" time ...


xxx

xxx

xxx

October, 1991 -- Bill Clinton announces his decision to run for President
		 of the US of A

December, 1991  -- Another Holiday season has come and gone

January, 1992 -- xxxxx wins the Super Bowl

April, 1992  -- Another IRS season has come and gone

xxxx

xxx

October, 1992 -- three days have passed in ATWT

November, 1992 -- The U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of
		  Richard Nixon that he should be compensated for
		  seized documents and Watergate tapes.


The Storyline has been less interesting ...
========================================

What part did Freida und Karl have in the murder?

What part did DanaV have, other than offering her body for reproduction?

What difference does it make if Barbed and Cargo know that SuperD is
really alive?

What did QrHr really have to do with all of this?

Who cares if Caroleg's was intimate with one guy or several hundred?
It didn't seem to bother QrHr, why should it bother us?

^^^

But the real questions are ....

What were the criteria for choosing the actress who replaced Melanie Smith?
A Marilyn Monroe Wannabe?  Come on folks in NYC ... If it was because
she filled out a bathing suit ... guess what?  The season in YUCKdale
for bikinis is too short to torture the viewers with this actress.
Either bring back Melanie or kill off the character.

As for Lilly Walsh Snyder.  Time and again the writers pussyfoot around
this character ... there are more storylines she CAN'T know about than
what she's involved in ... If Lilly Walsh's character is supposed to have
the inner resources of overcooked pasta then it's time we all started
watching another soap.  Hillary whateverhernameis IS BORING US TO DEATH ...

Mr. Marland, we viewers are intelligent, educated and as far as I'm aware
not suffering from senility or Altzheimer's.  Give us some credit
to remember what happened in the previous episodes.  We want conclusions
to storylines ... Not only during annual network sweeps weeks, but several
times a year ...



(okay, kids, take it away ....)

YUCKdale  Tuesday
========

Oh, let's see.  It appears Rolls Royce Keller a.k.a. Terry Lester
has had his teeth "done" since he was Jack Abbott.  I wonder how
long it will take for him to become accustomed to them?

Juicy and Scooter stayed the night together.  Personally, I can't
imagine (and try not to) where this coupling is leading ... I can't
help but wonder if the two actors laugh for about 15 minutes before
they spout their lines ...

Rolls has decided to take on the retirement village development but
can't decide if he wants to get involved with the GirlWide Tower project.
He thinks if he goes over to the Mitchell Center to view the shoreline
from that vantage point, he can make a better decision if the skyline
is such that would showcase his work.  (where's that barf bag you sent
me, Jeepman?)

Seth is finally leaving and going back to NYC.  He stops by at Chilly's
to say ta-ta and she had just been telling AnGel about how Had'one
said he finds the Slut attractive ... Chilly goes to the office and
Seth stays to chat with AnGel ... Seth is the only Snyder boy she hasn't
had a relationship with so I suspect he's next ...

JoeBlow Bailey goes to the Hughes to remind TOMato not to tell Cargo
and Barbed that SuperD is alive.  But before he arrives, Barbed, Sleaza
arrive saying that Barbed wants a memorial service because she needs
to mourn.  (All she has to do is view her Fall Line for BRO and she'd
cry for days ...)
Naturally, Frantic arrives to consult with TOMato about
what she should have for breakfast.  Barbed, with her RED ALERT nostrils,
is ready to declaw Frantic ... The girls leave, JoeBlow arrives ...
Cargo goes off in a coat the color of baby pee ... honestly, I don't
know who's dressing the characters these days but it would be kinder
to get a sighted wardrobe consultant.

Lilabird asks Pal if he couldn't please let Leslie the Lawyer win the
case ... afterall, Pal doesn't need any more money and the Navajos
are the rightful heirs to the land ... The land, Pal points out, to
which HE HOLDS THE DEED BECAUSE THE NAVAJOS SOLD IT TO HIM ....

Then, acourse, there's a scene where ConRail goes to T&A and tries to
talk to BBoob ... then ConRail goes back to Walsh and tells Cork that
given the same situation she would have aborted the fetus also.

Not two seconds later, back at T&A, Courtme arrives and asks GetEven
to go for a blood test "to be fair to AnUs" .... (I'm tellin' ya kids,
if it weren't for the two boxes of Girl Scout cookies I consumed,.
last night could have been a waste ...)

But ... the scene of the day ... picture this if you can ....
Rolls was showing Ellen Stewart and Nancy Hughes around the village
site ... they return to his trailer/office and ... ready, hold on to
those seats now .... the women are wearing Big Bird Yellow hard hats ...
Ellen looked like a zit ready to pop.

I'm making myself sick ...

ciao,
BabyDolL
