I think that there is an Erica wedding in the lurks, but I do not see it with
Nick, nor do I think that Nick truely wanted to marry Erica...I feel more
that he was attempting to give her some self confidence...because as we all
know...Erica is too proud to admit when she needs some reassurance...after all
she is just as human (in terms of soap land) as anyone else.  After Nick left,
you must remember that Mona told Erica that if she could land Nick when she did
not need him, think of what could happen with Dimetri if she did not need him..

I have been an avid AMC fan for 16 years now, and I will place my money on the
fact that Erica is pregnant, and as soon as Dimetri finds out he will want to
do the right thing...Erica being Erica will not accept that from him and thus
will eventually bring the two of them together.  I do not see Angel pregnant,
and if that happend...I see Jack only too willing to say that the baby was his.

I think this might be a logistics problem - Isn't SB a west coast soap and
GL an east coast soap.  I believe part of the reason Kim Zimmer left was so
that her family could be together. ( I think her husband is a director in

I also noticed that they had allowed the baby to age. Can't say
whether they want us to intentionally forget about the baby, but
I suppose there's not a lot of storyline use for him right now.
As for not asking Paige or anyone to watch him, this is usually
typical for TV shows :-). The thing that caught my eye, though,
was how dressed up Libby was. Didn't she say she was going to
the mall? I thought she was going out to dinner or something!

Debbie

PS - I've only been watching for the past season or so. I caught
a couple of reruns, I think it's on the Family Channel, and I
noticed they changed actresses who played Paige. One thing I've
been wondering is about Paige's relationship. I've gathered that
Libby is not her natural mother. Is Drew her natural father?
Or is Paige adopted?

Yes, Rick a Mulched Camel is all too funny....I just can see it now:
I appologize for stealing your story Rick but it just made me think of
something....


Carlips buys Butthead a combo-Zyclon Power Mower and Mulcher for his
birthday--okay they live on a boat, but go figure....

Anyway at his BDay party somewhere where there is grass, Carly drags
out his birthday present. But horror of horror, shock of shocks, it gets
away from her, and starts after her--as if it has a mind of its own
it can't be stopped.  There are Camel parts--teeny, tiny pieces all
over the place; fortunately her head, and that beautiful face of hers
with her lips still in that well known put, her forehead wrinkled, her
eyes squinting, and her eyebrows in their best Spock imitation. 

A most depressed Butthead refuses to leave as long as one sliver of
flesh of his beloved remains....Aeveryone at the part is overcome with
grief. They try and console Bozo, as they wait for the Forensic team
to pick up the pieces [ha ha ha ha]....Well after all night they think
they have found every little part of her except the head, which Bozo
secretly confiscated.

Bo goes back to the boat and inters a secret room, a lab.--by gosh
the boat is like the TARDIS inside. Anyway, since he has the head,
and thus the brain of his beloved he will reconstruct her. BUT this
will be tricky...he thinks up a plan of using hookers as parts; he
will search all of Salem for the right legs, arms, (and wink, wink)
other essential parts.....

Well he goes to Casey's Roadhouse Bar, and gathers a bunch of well
built women of the evening--somehow Lacey is amongst them, as is
Billie. He tells them to met him at midnight at his boat, he has
some special drug with will blow their minds.

They arrive and he gives them the special Crack he has developed...
after a few minutes they all start to explode, body parts everywhere--
a leg here, two or three there, a number of arms here, and a score
there; some [can't say what] here, and likewise there.  Anyway,
I must re-mention that Lacey and Billie were there and got blown-up
real good--but I don't think he used any of their body parts...

Anyway after working days and days he finished his creation......

I don't know, but it's getting a bit excessive.  I can understand that
drastic times call for drastic measures, but isn't this getting a
little ridiculous??  I love Boston and SF, but I'm starting to feel
like I'm trapped in a video atlas or something.  Either that or I'm
witnessing the biggest kiss-up campaign ever launched...

Really?  I'm glad someone likes Reese, because he's become one of the
most annoying characters on the show for me.  Doesn't the man have any
idea how to react to a situation but to smack the nearest available
object, human or otherwise??  It's getting a little old for me.  I
think Kim Zimmer does a good job--I agree with the overacting bit
though I don't necessarily think it's her fault--they've given her a
character who breaks out in tears on cue.  

Actually, let me revise that--I don't have a problem with either
*actor*, it's their characters who are annoying.

>>

I keep wondering about that too..but Kelly referred to him today.  I
guess McBabe hasn't felt those pet-owner feelings of missing his dog yet.. 


On another note--is there any non-cable network that would take SB?  I
don't have cable in my room and would be out in the cold if it went to
a cable net, as would a lot of other people, I suspect.

Yeah, I saw it too! I told myself to rewind and watch it again, but totally
forgot!  I couldn't make it out, but it was a couple inches in diameter and
located on his left shoulder, just like T's.

Talk about more irony! It's true, Bry *is* a trend-setter (or at least 
follower).  On a recent House of Style on MTV, they were talking about all
the latest, hippest trendy accessories for Fall/Winter '92 and one of the 
MUST-HAVES was a sleeveless plaid flannel, preferably hooded.  Bryan's got
that look DOWN.  I always get the impression he's trying to attain that MTV
club rat/Marky Mark/House of Pain look.  He'd go over pretty well in L.A., but
only if he'd start wearing that chapstick again.  It seems (I was at Canter's
Deli in Hollywood last night) that a mandatory fashion requirement is some
sort of object dangling from a black leather strap, usually a polished rock or
a foreign coin, but chapstick is very original!

ONe more thing on the subject of Bryan that's been bugging me.  People keep
saying that they hate him and what he's doing to Hayley/Dixie, etc.. and then
they say he's a bad actor.  WEll, it's one or the other in my opinion.  I mean,
if he's making people care one way or the other, it means he's doing his job.
Personally, I think it's the writers who are to be criticized. I mean, why'd
they have him go back to Hayley at all if they were going to keep him with Dix?
Cheap way to have Hayley fall off the wagon I guess, but could've been done 
without making Bryan totally flip-flop on the babe decision.  Oh well.  unfor-
tunately it's the only storyline on AMC worth watching at the moment, though
I'm rooting for Carter to somehow stick around for a while.  (he's damn good
looking and has more personality than most PV men).

I am not familiar with how alt.groups are created.  It does seem true that
just about anybody can do it.  However, creation of main stream groups (rec,
comp, misc...) MUST go thru the steps outlined in the news.groups FAQ.  If not,
they are ignored, and the person or persons trying to start the group
outside of the rules will suffer serious flamage.

Read news.groups for a few weeks.  You'll get the idea.

Eve seems like a Rick-woman.  Maybe Mindy can come back with Rick and 
then Nick will have Mindy and Eve can have Rick...

I probably have said that before, but I am really tired of Eve and Lil
being so gooey-eyed because they have no men.  And I still think Lil
and Fletch - NOT Eve and Fletch like Mo thinks.  That would seem weird with
Fletch and Nick being friends and all -- But this is a soap where you
often date your ex-sister-in-law and sleep with your best friend's woman!

According to this week's TV Guide, Robert is history.  The show has had to
make budget cuts and the actor that portrays Robert was the unlucky one.
He is somewhat bitter and commented that he felt it unfair that the only
"strong African-American on the show" was the one to get the ax.  I see
his point but would like to note that Hank and Sarah were let go ahead of
him, so I doubt it is a racial issue here.  And besides, I don't really see
where his storyline was going anyway.  Just my two cents.

Bob Peck did such a great job of helping Karen out that I asked
him if he'd be interested in handling updates for Thursdays (I don't
think that day is currently being covered, at least I haven't seen
one in awhile) and HE SAID YES!!! So the current updating schedule
looks like this (someone correct me if I'm wrong):

Monday - Frederique
Tuesday - Karen
Wednesday - Sharon
Thursday - Bob
Friday - me

I know there isn't much discussion lately, but I for one am
greatly appreciative that the updates are appearing -- I'm only
going to be able to watch once or twice a week until at least
December due to work and class. And, Bob, please feel free to
keep those biases in! I know there are some storylines that I
like better (Alex/Morty) than others (Blair, Asa) and I think it
shows in my updates! :-) I'm anxious to see where Dr. Ruth fits in.

Have a great end of the week, everyone! It's almost Friday!

Oh Kelly, you're so sweet to say so.  :-)

Anyway, about addiction.  Yeah, I guess I'm pretty bad too.  I don't even
think about it...  I just come home, hit rewind and *then* start to take
off my jacket and shoes, kiss my wife, etc.  It's such a habit.  And when
something interferes I do get pretty upset.  Even if the show stinks that
day, I like to at least have the chance to watch it.  Upon returning from
Maine last week I found that my mother-in-law [who was checking in on the
cat] had unprogrammed the VCR and I missed a few shows.  And as I said I 
would, I did get even.  Heh heh.  On a recent trip to her house I tackled 
her and bit her shoulder until she screamed, screaming "This is for Monday!" 
For Tuesday I blurted out a secret by accident.  Heh heh.  And for Wednesday
I pinned her down and forced her to eat a Lemon Warhead.  Does anyone know
about these?  It was pretty funny.  So I guess you can say that I am a 
little addicted.

And now, for the lyric of the week honors.  Evil Vince racks up another
as he guesses this song in a matter of minutes, with no clues!  Nelson
was VERY close [he's cheating, I know it!] and he even had the group and
the album correct.  The album, btw, is called "Oranges and Lemons".  Cute,
huh?  :-)  So, here it is.
