	I constantly curse at her when I watch the show.  The writers have
ruined her life and her character.  Then again, I don't like much the writers
are doing these days.  And they should have written Blake out of the show
entirely.  Liz Keifer can't hold a candle to Sherry Stringfield.  BTW, does
anyone know what's become of Sherry?  I miss her.  And now we can look forward
to a new Mindy.  YUCK!

Okay, so are Dimwit and Erica hearing-impaired, or are only their organs
below the waist working this week?  Don't they notice that every time they're
in public, there's a motorcycle about 20 paces behind them?

Do you suppose they'll allow Erica to be strong enough to fight back when
Psycho-Edmund kidnaps her?  If Euro-Weirdwind is the original from which
the American version was built, is there a well on the property?  Does it
occur to Angelique to call Euro-Weirdwind to locate Dimwit?

Will Edmund return to the states?  I'm wondering if this is a way to write
him out, leaving room in Brooke's life for Tad when he returns to PV.

Just some thoughts,

They can subpoena him, but they can't make him tell the truth on the
witness.  Jodie doesn't have any proof that Eugene abused Frank, other

I'm an avid Sisters viewer also.  And a very mad one at that.  My local

second time in a month!  AAAArgh I hate it when they do that.  Then they 
won't tell us when they are going to show it, usually 2 or 3 a.m.  
Hopefully I can get my mother (in another state) to tape it for me! 

I'm glad there are other Sisters fans out there.  I was beginning to think

I doubt they'll update the theme music.  I've been hearing that same

when I was in kindergarten.  The music was the same, but if I remember
correctly, they had the same General Hospital title on a plain royal

ARE YOU SURE???? I have tried to stay opt of this, but I just have to put in
my 2 cents worth. I remember when frankie started going out with Mitch, they kept
showin flashbacks of her and Teddy when they were younger. Teddy used to take
care of Frankie and call her Stinkerbell. Frankie used to follow her around. 
So I asumed Teddy is the oldest .... -RT

She may be crazy for loving him, but at least Renee can sometimes have a

I'm sorry, but I am not really a great fan of the Clint/Vicky marriage.  Half
the time when they are having problems, I think that they would be better off
with other people.  Actually, CLint and Dorian WERE once an item.  Back when
Vicky would not commit to Clint because she was still grieving for Joe Reilly
and I think Dorian's scheming forced Herb to resign an governor-elect, Dorian
went after Clint.  Clint made it clear that he was not interested in a
relationship, only in good sex.  Once Vicky came around, Clint dropped Dorian
and rushed back to his beloved Vicky (another reason for their rivalry).

My sentiments exactly!
I first noticed this rather obvious inconsistency after Ashly had Victoria
get an HIV test, months ago.  
This seems like a pretty worthwhile reason to start writing to the 
producers of Y&R; if enough people write to them concerning this,
then they may start being more responsible about it.  Right now they 
are just sending out the message that one only has to worry about HIV
if it is important to the storyline.  If they really were sincere
about educating people, they would show that no one is above getting 
infected, not even the mighty Victor!

I thought it went Georgie, Alex, Teddy and Frankie last.  I figured
Georgie must be the oldest since everyone always looks to her for
support, help, direction, etc.  But Alex does look older.  

I only started watching regularly over the summer, my sisters (5 of them) 
finally got me hooked.  I laughed at John's comment on the Halloween
show when he said if Frankie and Mitch moved across the street they
could start a sister commune.  That's what our SOs say to us - don't
you have any other friends besides your sisters????

Also, I'll add my 2 cents in general - I love Teddy's designs!!  I would
have killed for the jacket she sent to the buyers (minus the blue arms,
of course).  I'm looking forward to seeing more of her relationship with
Simon.  I think he looks better with his hair mussed (yowsa!).  I also
hope we see more of his brother - it would be nice to have him speak
to a child/past too.

I'm looking forward to this week's show, but I'm wondering why John 
& Georgie have all the traumas lately.  First Evan's illness (ok, so
that was last season), then a few weeks ago John is in a plane crash 
and now this upcoming accident and the danger with the baby.  I think a 
better story would have been to have either Frankie or Mitch in the
accident with the worry about how the other one would raise a child alone.
Then, of course, they would pull through.  I hope they give the baby 
(whatever it is) an original name.  Even though Cat and Reed are not 
masculine names they are different.

Oh yeah, hi Jackie!!
