Well, I really think what I think about the lack of talent on the
part of ms Chappell does not matter. She is promoted, has the airtime,
and the stories...like my mother said I just do not like the show
anymore. What we feel does not matter, whom we like does not matter
things will not change. So the only thing to do is tape and watch
the few characters whom I like. I have beat my head against this
damn wall far to much....

Supposedly it is just a television show, well that excuse works
only just so far, since it is a television show the acting and the 
writing are what counts, days has failed. If the producers and
writers do not care, then damn it I do not...It just is a shame
that quality and the intelligence of the viewers, and equality
to the cast cannot be maintained....

They've already dealt with the tattoo -- when Terrence was being sulky
about Lucas being his father, Livia and Derek were talking about her
problems with him.  She mentioned having a fit when he got the tattoo.

And referring to the original post, HEH!  Since when does anyone get
their mother's permission to get a tattoo?  You just DO it, and brace

In real life, some star (I don't remember who) shares custody
with his ex-wife.  He has a house, his ex has a house, and the
children have a house.  Each parent lives with the children
for six months (in the children's house) while the other has
visitation privileges.  Ah, to be rich...  But, then, Lauren
is.

Someone sent out a best/worst list for Santa Barbara and I have to say I
agreed with just about everything on the list, especially about replacing
Justin Deas.  I thought it was hysterical way back when Brandon found Gina and
Keith in a bathtub full of Jello and she told him they were making it for a
church social!  What a scream!!!  I was a senior in high school at the time and
had a teacher who looked like Justin Deas.  I told him about it and the jello
but he never got a chance to check out the show.

Does anyone remember the name of the character and/or the actress who played
the girl who had been a nun and then fell in love with Mason.  I think it
might have been marry.  She was killed off a while back, but she was one of
my all time favorite characters.

Alicia Coppola is such an amazing actress that she definitely deserves more
than a role in a soap opera (although I would miss the character of Lorna
if she left AW!)  The scene with her and Felicia on Thursday's (8/27) show
was incredible.  That pep speech she gave Felicia about her writing just
got me all fired up.  And when she gave Felicia that little "daughterly"
kiss on the cheek, I got all choked up.

She also got me near tears when she was talking to Lucas at the
cemetary.  That was almost as good as when she was talking to Lucas
in the hospital.  (Alla Korot should be taking some notes while she
watches Alicia Coppola in action!)  

I only hope that they don't turn Lorna into a completely sappy character
like Jenna.  However, I do like that they have given the character of
Lorna some vulnerability contrary to her "bullet-proof" (no pun intended :-)
demeanor over the past few months. 

Did anyone else enjoy this episode as much as I did?

EXACTLY what I was thinking (thanks for doing all the typing :).  These
scenes were so BOgus with Adam being so comforting.  Come on!  The only
reason I can see is that he's trying to set up Gloria.  If he was being
genuine then it's a bad move on the writers' part - compromising a character's
behavior for a story line.  I know, I know IOAS.  :)

Subject: AMC: SOU Article -- Jack & Erica
Organization: Xanadu Enterprises Inc.
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1992 21:39:44 GMT

I read in the September 8th issue of Soap Opera Update an article that
I thought you "ratsters" might enjoy.  It was an interview with Walt
Wiley in which he said that he would like to see Jack and Erica get
back together as a romantic couple!  Below are some exerpts that I
thought were humorous:

"Jack's been with two women in five years -- neither of them in the
first two and a half years that I was on the show.  And yet Jack has
this reputation of being a woman's man.  It's the silliest and
craziest thing."

"The reason that the Jack/Angelique thing seems to work is because
Jack has a certain amount of unresolved angst, if you will, regarding
his sister who was killed in an accident, and has been out of his life
for 20 or 30 years.  And here's a chance to perhaps redeem what he
feels bad about.  Here's Jack's only real chance to do something for
somebody who had a terrible thing happen to them and lost their life,
and then somehow miraculously regained their life."

"Jack has had miserable experiences being involved with somebody's
else's wife, and he's the bastion of truth and justice.  So in some
ways, I had to make justification for it because it's so very wrong
for him to be going after another man's wife, no matter how badly that
husband treats her."

"I think somewhere down the line, erica and Jack will get back
together," he says adamantly. "The fans are nuts for them to get back
together.  The old axiom in daytime about a happy couple being sure
death is true.  Well they've broken Erica and Jack up twice, and the
second time wasn't exactly the most artfully crafted situation.  You
know, her being married to Adam; Adam tricking her into marriage.
When I was playing those scenes, i was scratching my head saying 'What
the hell is this about?'"

"What I have suggested to the writers is to forget that this happy
couple is death, and let's mak Erica and Jack Nick and Nora -- who
fought and loved each other more than any other couple in films.  And
because both the characters have that degree of sophistication anyway,
let Erica buy part of his law firm...there's a million ways to set it
up; to be done artfully an belivably.  And let them be a happy couple
that is exciting.  They can do it.  those are some of the best writers
in daytime.  that would be something that the fans would love to see."

"...But if I had my druthers, I would hope that Jack and erica would
once again reign."

Sigh - I took notes, and then I forgot them at home...

Time - the morning after Glory was found/the morning that Billy arrives in SC
and Mila is taken away by her mom.

Let's see.  Mila and her mom are seen fighting - mom locks Mila in her
room and grounds her forever...

Sydney discovers that Billy SEEMS to be falling for her.  This makes her
uncomfortable since Billy came originally to be with her best friend.

Glory and Garrett fight all thru this episode - Glory wants to go look for
JT, who ran off without telling anyone where he was going.  Garrett wants
her to leave JT altogether - but at least he is going to insist that she
stay away from what ever the big noise was.  Calley seems to agree - no
sense in Glory taking chances since she is still recovering.

JT goes searching through the rubble, looking for Neil.  He finds him
buried, and tries to get him out.

Two of the Anglos have picked up a report of problems at the Atwater
Cosmetic plant - the police have been notified, and they are having problems
contacting their agent in SC.

One of the Baldies is on his celluar phone to his female contact.  He
says something like 'Just as my ear was starting to recover, there has
been an explosion here at the cosmetic plant.  There is no sign of life.'
Sirens are heard in the distance, but Baldie is at the plant.

Sydney tries to put Billy and Sandy together, but Billy prefers Sydney.
Owen keeps trying to talk shop - and Billy looks bored about it.  Billy
meets Jimmey, Saja, and many of the others, plays and sings some music, etc.

Jazz tells Sydney that she would 'give up her 8 best friends' to have a
rock star after her - she encourages Sydney to go for it.  (Note: I wonder
how Garrett will feel if Sydney and Billy DO get together - I think there
are still some feelings there for Sydney...)

JT gets Neil closer to the door, Neil says a few words, and then appears
to either die or at least pass out.  JT is screaming for help.  (Note:
what if the baldies get them instead of the police!)

Mila calls Sydney at the Swan - Sydney tells her that all the girls are
crowding around Billy and he doesn't seem to mind.  She tells Mila something
to the effect that she is just as well off being home.  She promises Mila
to stop by after she gets Billy on his plane home.

Finally, a phone call comes in at the Swan.  Nancy answers, playing around,
acting like Billy's social secretary.  But it's JT, telling them that
there has been an accident.  Everything gets silent.  Credits roll.

    an abortion, and that eventually this was the cause of Jeff and Erica's
