How do you change your fingerprints without burning them
off?  Not that I'm planning on it, I just thought that
was one part of your body you couldn't easily change.

I guess they'll pair Glynnis with Marcus after all.
How about Desire and Rob?  They're both a bit wacky
and besides, who's left?

Why doesn't ShawnD act like a normal kid?  I was so sure
he'd ask to go with Bo.  When I was little I was always
begging to tag along with my parents.  Also why didn't
SD whine about Bo never spending any time with him?  No
kid is that concerned about his fathers girlfriend.  It
just isn't right.

Was it me or does anyone else think John knows that Dani
is up to something but his feelings are getting in the
way.  Maybe it's just the way he looks at her.  Dani looked
more frustrated than hurt when John wouldn't give in to
the passion.  I would rather see her with Larry.

I agree that the character looked a little like a female in guy's 
clothes, but it was a guy after all.  They called him Troy Rhodes, and I
think I remember that Angela takes an interest in him for some reason
and it upsets Warren.  But maybe I just dreamed that.

Anyway, it was a guy character, whether the actor (?) was or not.

Does anyone remember that seemly innocent scene in her hospital room when

shot, I might add -- yes I LOOKED!  So What?  Gonna make a big deal out of
that one, TOO?  Can't an old lady have a little fun ..... even if it IS only
in her dreams!  ha!)  Anyway, when he was fixing the window, the Nut had that
drooling look on her face as she perused the tools ----- 

I think she lifted one of the screwdrivers - she is very handy, don't forget.

MMmmmmmmmmm .......  Anyway, I still think she is the one - no one really has
pointed a finger at her.  I mean, here is this poor (!) woman in a guarded

Yeah, he does seem to be going overboard on the self-righteousness.  Why
is he so upset about CC and Santana (other than the obvious reasons, I
mean, that they are horrible together ;-)?  Wasn't the waitress named
Wanda, or Zelda, or something like that?

I can't say I've ever cared much for CC, but I agree on the rest of
this.  Another reason why I was surprised that Mason would want to move
into a large servant-filled house.

Even with all her romantic fantasies, I'd think Lilly would get a clue.
Ted's not interested, Ted will never be interested.  I thought for sure
she was starting to think about Sawyer.  Too bad she isn't.

I have a 3 year-old, and believe me, she doesn't throw as many temper
tantrums as Scarrie.   Matter of fact, I'm proud to say that she throws
very few temper tantrums, usually only when she is not feeling well.

Hi.  No, I haven't seen that particular commercial.  But, you are probably
right that they would do something like this.  I remember awhile back they
did the same thing on a CBS channel, except they had Young and the Restless

         No, I think Julia said "that's the picture of Abigail's
         *daughter* and her husband and baby".   And of course, Julia
         & Mason being such modern people, they would naturally assume
         that a "picture" would be a photograph.  That would be why
         they were wondering about a photo album.

         There are a lot of people to whom intimacy does not
         necessarily include sex.  These two have been intimate
         friends for a long time.  They were inseperable from the age
         of 5 to 18.  I don't think that means that anything else went
         on.

Hmmmm...how's this for a different opinion?  Isabella doesn't bother me 
nearly as much these days.  I think TPTB are trying very hard to undo 
some of the junk that happened with the Mexican fiasco and shortly
thereafter -- she's still not on my "like" list but she's definitely 
not bothering me as much anymore.  And, I think the fact that she's not
real believable as an Italian heiress has a *lot* more to do with bad
casting than with bad acting -- she's certainly *not* Kate Hepburn 
(who's my favorite all-time actress, Vickie!) but Staci's okay.  C'mon, 
folks...Jack can be forgiven for raping Kayla but Isabella can't be 
forgiven for getting pregnant?  

'Course, I still like John a *lot* better with Dani and find the 
possibilities with these two a lot more interesting.  'Course, that 
fact, in and of itself, is more than enough of an excuse for TPTB to 
trash the whole idea -- such is my luck.  :-)

I suppose part of it is the familiarity of the characters.  You watch these 
people five days each week and you get to know them.  You don't get that feeling
of ominiscence in other forms of fiction.  It can be quite frustrating when the
characters act stupidly--I will admit to yelling at the tv every so often.

What's drawn me to my soaps has been witty dialogue, some great acting (Beverlee
McKinsey on GL for instance), and well-drawn characters.  

I've yet to experience a soap opera plot that was unexpected.  For the most part
you can determine the outcome at the outset.  Even when they're doing a mystery,
the stories are pretty predictable.  So I'd have to say that plotting is NOT 
what keeps me watching.  Although, when a soap lets loose and gets wild and 
totally outrageous--then that gets me hooked.

Well, speaking for myself, I liked Nick when he

She's becoming more of a stupid ditz each day.  And let's see...I
