UGH!!!  What is wrong with these people?  I do not understand how they can
hire, let alone keep on people like Mark Pinter (our very own Coffee Achiever),
a man who is so wooden you could chop him up and burn him and a bimbo like
Jensen B., and let someone like Alison Hossack go.

Okay, so the character of Olivia was a pain, she still can act rings around
Sandra Reinhardt and the airhead who plays Sam.  I hope this is only a 
rumor.

    Yes, I saw.  The way I look at it, I a) may have
salvaged the remains of a contract that went up
in smoke and so may well be a proud homeowner by the
end of the month.
   b) Finally got up the courage to quit the job that
I have hated loathed and despised for a year now
   c) Also got up the courage to submit my first short
story for publication (to Dragon Magazine, if anyone
cares)
   d) May have found a part-time job in the same office 
as my fiance'
   e) applied for grad school.

So, how far behind can the return of my hero be?  I
mean, logically, if they bring back Steve, they have
to bring back Nick, otherwise Jo murdered an innocent man, 
right?  (but then again, since when did continuity mean
much of anything?)  Unfortunately, if Gene-ocide comes back, 
well, I'm worried.  Generino is the one who masterminded
the whole Jencon thing, right?  And gave us Ape and Johnny?
So what will he do to poor Nick this time around?  I
can't bear to think about it.  But that don't mean I
won't watch it.  And George has said he's willing to
come back.  I guess all those sacrifices to the soap
gods helped, huh?  I'm still burning candles at the altar
night and day, though.  Everyone keep your fingers
crossed, dust off the old mantras, and start praying
and getting in shape for another Dance of Joy.

Yes, he was.  It was in the very old days of the Brooks family.  I may  
have this mixed up with something else, but I think he was married to an  
overweight woman with little self-esteem (does this sound familiar? No, it  
was NOT Tracy!) named Joanne, I think.  He confided in Laurie Brooks,  
whose full name on the soap, I believe, was Laura Lee Brooks! (Maybe this  
was about the time good old Laura Lee Bell was born??!)  Anyway, he and  
Laurie were close for a while, then somehow the wife got back some  
self-esteem, lost weight, regained her husband's affection, and they both  
faded away, no pun intended.  Laurie may have been the one to help the  
wife regain her self-esteem, but I may be mis-remembering that.  Any other  
long-time watchers, does this sound familiar??

	Yes, I do remember this part.  Most likely, John was having dreams
about DROWNING under water (which is one of the only ways to drown :).  This is
why I continually believe that John is Forrest Alamain.  Forrest supposedly
died in a pool accident and drowned.  Well, that is all from me.
