  Wow!  Tracy actually said that?  She mustn't know Christie very well.
  Christie really acts circles around Tracy.  On a personal note, I told
  my hubby that the real Carrie was coming back on and he said he didn't
  remember her (neither did my son).  However, the day the reappeared, he
  called me at work proclaiming how much he remember her and how good it
  was to have her back.

I keep a Christmas tape with the Grinch, Frosty (I still cry when he melts!),
Rudolph, a Charlie Brown Christmas, and Scrooge just in case I can't catch
the Holiday season showings.  And I must admit that trimming the tree
with a slew of Christmas shows and eggnog always puts me in the Xmas spirit.

But you know, I don't think Rudolph has aired yet this year, has it?

Yes, Ma'am... (did I do good?)

In more recent news- I suppose I can forgive them the rather
disappointing T'giving episode, since we were treated to a
*very* nice Horton Family Christmas.  <sigh>  This reminded
me what Days *used* to be like.  I also enjoyed the Christmas
Day at Roman and Marlena's (is Wayne for sure leaving?  I'm
rather liking his and Dierdre's chemistry lately).  Of 
course, it all had to be interspersed with bits of the
Camel & NewlyWimpyLawrence nostalgia-fest, but at least
they were brief (it wouldn't be a true post from me if I
didn't take at least one shot at Gnarly). Btw, can anyone
tell me (email is fine) what exactly happened at the very
end of the 12/24 episode?  Family friends dropped by early,
and I missed it (and wasn't taping, as I was home watching...). 

All in all, a fairly satisfying two days of DOOL. We'll see
what this week brings.  Of course, it was diminished a little
by SSH's impending departure, but maybe our harassment of 
TPTB will pay off.  I'm all for another foray next week!

Hi Sisters and everyone else,

	I goofed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (Thu and Fri). Since my
in-laws were in town I set up the old vcr in the basement to record the 
soaps. Well, I plug in the electrical cord, I set the timer, I had the right
tape in, but I forgot to connect the cable box to the vcr. So I got nothing
but snow. The only snow I got on Christmas. :-(  

	I would appreciate and update for Thu and Fri.

Well, once again I will be the odd (wo)man out, and say the NewNatalie is 
growing on me. It's not the actress's fault the writers have turned Natalie 
into such a simp. It's that old soap opera disease, let something crappy 
happen to someone and they turn into mush. (Remember Gloria after the rape? 
No one seemed to like her "new" bland personality at first, but she seems to 
have grown on many of the ratsters. {Not I, tho}). Anyways, we know she gets 
her sight back soon, maybe then she have a more "forceful" storyline.
And the reason she always looking up at the ceiling is becuase it's hard to 
portray a blind person..you fight the natural tendency to focus on the thing 
you're talking to. I imagine it's easier to look "unfocused" if you can find 
something to stare at that your eyes don't want to "digest".
Sigh...I don't guess that made sense to anyone else, huh?

I found this in the local paper and thought it would be a big help to everyone
out there who loves "Homefront" as much as I do.
mary

from "The Cincinnati Enquirer", Wednesday, Dec. 23, 1992.
author:  John Kiesewetter

Will advice columnist Dear Abby, who led the "Homefront" charge last spring,
mobilize her troops again?  

ABC has announced last week that "Homefront", one of the finest hours on
television, would not return to the schedule until spring.  

Dear Abby's appeal to save the show last spring generated 20,000 letters in 14
days.  ABC executives were amazed.

"Getting 20,000 letters in two weeks from one column is pretty significant. 
There's a lot of passion out there," Robert Iger, ABC's chief programmer, said
last summer.

"Homefront" fans should immediately write Iger's successor:  
	Ted Harbert, ABC Entertainment President
	2040 Avenue Of The Stars
	Los Angeles, CA 90067

Those who send a copy of their letter to Viewers for Quality Television,
	P.O. Box 195 
	Fairfax Station, VA 22039 
will receive a list of "Homefront" sponsors.

I hope we can bring the show back!

And of course, Count Antony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) was hot with that

Yep, I definitely liked him.  Very cute, great body, and
a genuinely *nice* guy.  Sorry he left...

>Next:  Tony DiMera.  Sigh...again...what a smile.  His eyes just
>       twinkled.  :)

This man tops my list!  I don't know exactly why, but I"ve
always had it bad for this guy.  Tony was smart, sophisticated,
not above a little intrigue, and incredibly romantic.  <sigh>
I just *loved* he and Anna- one of my favorite couples on the
show.  (I've been enjoying seeing the actor, who's name I can't
remember the spelling of, on Santa Barbara as Micah, tho my
time is running out...)
>

Let's see, who else... definitely John Black.  I saw Drake in
person years ago, and he is *just* as adorable, if not more
so.  I always thought Stefano (the real one) was kinda sexy,
too.  I also liked Lane Davies, though the charactor he played,
Evan Wyland, was rather whiney (liked Lane best as Mason on 
SB).  I find/found Jack, Lawrence, both Bo's, and Doug Williams
(Bill Hayes) attractive, but lacking some chemistry facet that
I found in the others I mentioned.

 As far as the ladies, I think that SSH, Kristian Alfonso,
Anna DiMera, MaryBeth Evans (oh, I like Stephen Nichols, too),
and Dierdre Hall (but only sometimes, when she's not wearing
some horrific outfit) attractive/sexy.

I'm sure I've forgotten someone, but this covers the biggies.

Of course, it goes without saying that I find the Camel
completely un-sexy and un-attractive.  Can't believe 
TV Guide (week of 12/23-1/1) waxed so eloquently about
her (her *lips*??  Gack!).  Maybe she's sleeping with
someone on *their* staff, as well  :^)

I agree. I think AJ is a good actor and his character has come a long way.
It is a shame that tptb didn't see it that way. I guess I feel for the guy
because my best friend from HS was like AJ. He was the oldest, came from

Hi, Debbie Minett. This post's for you....

The doctors are covered legally, because even though it was against Stacey's 
consent, she was not acting competently. In their professional opinion, she 
was a danger to herself and the others around her. Also, her husband (her 
legal next-of-kin) gave authorization to do so, and in light of her 
behavior, it appeared to be warranted.
Now, the doctors can't do this for weeks on an out-patient basis. Once she's 
committed, they'll be able to sedate her as often as needed, in their 
professional opinion....
Hope this helps...

I agree with what you said, but I think you can be "against" without
being hateful.  Certainly those who are "against" on religious grounds
should not be hateful, IMHO.  If you are "against" for other reasons,
well, all bets are off.

It seems like everyone on the show in the "against" croud was very
hateful.
