A friend of mine that doesn't watch very often was watching that with
me.  She commented that she thought it was rather strange -- I pointed
out that it was suppose to be HUMOROUS -- then she started enjoying it
-- I think she thought it was suppose to be serious stuff.??

On todays AMC the police investigating Will's murder were refered to as
Keystone Kops.  (And I agree the male cop needs to go (forgot his name)
he can't get even the simpilest line out.. more mistakes made today).
Less than an hour later on OLTL the police investigating Carlo's murder
were also refered to as Keystone Kops.  

Similar story-lines, similar lame lines... my theory is that they are 
using the same writers on both shows to save the network money.  I had
read somewhere that the networks had been making major cutbacks in
daytime dramas...

	Sally, I completely agree with you that Romulus should not be Dani, but
it will be.  The authors have already shown that Romulus is not John, who out
of anyone, I thought it would be.  Yes, I thought there would be a reason to
choose Romulus, with a Remus in mind somewhere.  But, as we have seen before on
Days, they NEVER stick with their original ideas.  As for Dani being Romulus,
she is.  Her reasoning is probably that they would have never expected a female
thief to use a male's name.  Yeah, I know it sounds stupid, but the writers at
Days are like that.
	As for the concept of twins, I doubt they will pop up.  But, the idea
of BROTHERS is still in the making.  This is why I say that John has to be
Forrest Alamain, Lawrence's brother.  It will make some reasonable sense. 
Especially when Dani explains to John that she found him somewhere and wanted
to take care of him, thus giving him the name John Stevens.  (Come on people,
like we did not know this was going to happen. :)

sorry, beth -- this is an oldie moldie getting resurrected...  it's been
around at least since the 50's...   was used by wives (seriously?!?)
to refer to "hubby" (at least in public!); sarcastically by men in front
of their wives.  check out some movies, and newspaper cartoons, of the 
times... or ask anyone over 30.  having opal use the term is perfect!

SO is late 60's/early 70's, when the term was coined to identify the 
relationship between cohabitating but not married (gasp! shock!) couples.
if you weren't living together, you were simply "boyfriend" or "girl-
friend."  it was sort of a face-saving term for parents to use, as if
loudly specifying (once caught with having a kid that was "living in 
sin" ;) ) their kid's relationship was Meaningful.  "SO" was, at first,
used sarcastically by those to whom the term was being applied, because
it was strictly a parentally-correct euphemism for lover.   where it 
actually picked up neutral or even romantic connotation i'm not sure.
certainly i can't imagine brainless looking deep into halo's eyes and
proclaiming his undying significant-otherhood to her!

Does anyone else see a  similiarity between this storyline and the

in that line of business); supposedly Hill thought that Thomas was
making improper advances but chose to stay in his employ anyway because 
it would advance her career, etc.

When Frankie and Max first came on the show they said they were brothers.
We later found out that they weren't brothers but they became attached
in the orphanage and told everyone they were brothers so they wouldn't
have to be split up.

The Bradys did adopt them before we found out that they weren't related.

Hi again, boys and girls.  I have been lurking for a long while, but
decided that it was time for my two cents..

1.  Things I would like to see on GL
	Harley giving Nadine a good SLAP for being so self-centered
	Eleni's face when she realizes what a goober she married and
	what a great guy she dumped
	Kat and Dylan

2.  Things I am tired to death of seeing on GL
	Alex:  You're my son.  Nick:  Nu-uh.  Alex:  Uh-huh.  Nick:...
	Mallett telling Harley what to do and her putting up with it
	Nadine's conceited overly made up self centered face

3.  Predictions:
	Roger and Jenna?
	Lillian with a hot unmarried younger man (wishful thinking)
	AM and Blake Doing It

	I have been watching GL on and off for a long time and I think
it's been really good lately, except for the obviously ridiculous event
that occurs occasionally (Mindy the hacker, for example.  Puh-lease!)
I wish Blake had more to do than try to break up Eleni and Wonder Boy,
she is so good at being bad.
	I like Harley and Mallet as a couple EXCEPT that there is a lot
of the student/teacher power inequity in their relationship.  I hate
to see her trying to placate him; it's just not like Harley.  Oh, and
another thing I'd love to see is Mindy getting a REAL job, like slinging
Big Macs or something.  Maybe she could get amnesia and wander off to
Paramus...
	Okay, enough rambling on.  Thanks to all out there who help
brighten up my weekends with their posts!

SOAP OPERA NOTES

'GL's' Hutchison enjoys new love and a new wardrobe
---------------------------------------------------

   Fiona Hutchison (ex-Gabrielle Holden, "One Life to Live" -- now
Jenna on "Guiding Light") got to shop till "GL" dropped a whole lot
at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City.  She was being outfitted --
in $2000 suits and $5000 gowns -- for her first role as an international 
jewel thief who becomes involved in Mallet's (Mark Derwin) storyline.
   In real life, Fiona's in love and living with John Viscardi

plans.  She is still legally tied to Sean Dromgoole and, she says,
"I've got a messy, horrible situation with my divorce."

To change names or not to change names........ that is the question.
I have been thinking about your comments..... I don't know why woman
starting changing their names in the first place.  Probably some
"sexist property issue" from the way back times when woman didn't
have anything except a man to give them a life. (No flames, cuz you all
know what I mean)
Well, I was thinking, the only real issue, if I kept my name, would
be WHICH name should the baby get??? The Husbands or the Wifes?


Now, in keeping with this line of thought, let's say that both
H and W had to take on each others names (making things fair and all)
so the baby would have both names.  The problem with that is if
every married couple did that, names would soon grow and multiply
beyond comprehension.  Silly thought, I know, but I had it and I
had to share it.

Personally, I have no real desire to keep my family name going.
It means nothing to me.  I personally, cannot wait to become
Ms. Sharon Lee West, and am pleased that he has offered me his name
to take as my own. It makes us family.  These opinions are my own.
No one else would take credit.

   Agreed.

   I jumped her after she blew off The Tink's emergency phone call. Her 
subsequent brainslapping of Adam, and her unsolicited opinions during 
Hayley's freak session at police HQs have substantiated my stance.

   There was NO way she could have construed that call as a prank; it was 
too atypical of Hayley's normal MO. An Li was privy to background info on 
Will's ballistic personality, his probable (as far as she was concerned) 
rape of Gloria, and Brian's tremendous concern about Halo's safety at 
Swill's apartment. An Li knowingly chose a life-or-death situation to exact 
revenge. Add her behavior w/ Pops, the fact that she was stopped from 
telling The Tink that she bopped Bri only by his arrest, and her knife-in-
Hayley's-back at the police station, and you've got a Class A bitch in the 
making. And a possibly dangerous one, at that. A very interesting "turn-of-
the worm", no bout adout it. :))
