JACK!!!!!  I think they can steam it up from what we've seen so far.
But she still needs to get over this helpless stuff.  Hope the writers
don't make her a wimp in the relationship!

TAD!!!!  Well, I don't know.  Maybe they could bring back Mark Dalton
for Brooke?  Edmund truly deserves the boot - leaving a note to tell
his fiance he is in Budapest??  Out the door, buddy.

Dr. BJ - The Brian thing has gotten pretty lame IMO.  They just 
don't have the same appeal as they did when they were closeted.

: 4.  An-Li
Nobody!  Or maybe bring on someone new at PVU.
Or like someone else (sorry) suggested, Trask!!  

: 5.  Erica
Call me crazy, but I think maybe Erica and Edmund.  I posted earlier
about how Joni S. made me realize the similarities between Edmund
and Mike Roy (journalists, non-materialistic, stubborn, opinionated,
fought with Erica).  I think Erica needs to be with someone who shows
her how to be down to earth and loving. 

: 6.  Hayley
OK, why not Charlie.  It works somehow.

: 7.  Livia
UH.....  Leave her with Tom?  

: 8.  Taylor
TAD!!!!  Just kidding!  I'm not too into her.  I don't think the writers
will be able to pull off a plausible romance for Taylor until they figure
out how they want us to feel about her - i.e. either they want us to
see her as a comic character who schemes all the time or else they want
us to see her as a misunderstood, spoiled child who just needs someone
to care about her.  Once they give the character direction, then maybe a
romantic interest is in order. 

: 9.  Natalie
Leave her with Trevor, but how about giving her back her sight?

: 10  Galen
Who's left?  Maybe Derek?  Then I could just fast forward one romance
rather than 2 (BJ-Galen, Mimi-Derek).

: 14  Gloria
ADAM! I know it is cruel to Stuart, but I think these two have serious
potential for being nasty to each other and also for passion!
Or maybe Dixie will be a role model for Gloria who will go after Terrence
and the foursome can double date?

: 15  Mimi
LUCAS!  Most definitely. 

: 16  Helga
I think Helga gets enough action in her little fantasy world - why bring
some innocent man into her destructive path?

This was fun, Mary!

Amen!  I am also sick to death of the way she sticks her tongue
out (a la snake-style) everytime she is about to go on with one

lips everytime she opens her mouth.  Eric better watch out, he

Jenn, I remember this happening. But didn't Sarah just think she
killed Austin? And didn't someone (Cord and Bo maybe?) bury Austin
in the woods, only he crawled out of the grave 'cause he really wasn't
dead? I think Sarah thought she saw Austin and that's when they finally
went back to check the grave only to discover it empty. And then at
some point I vaguely remembering Austin hiding out in the
penthouse, I think, of the Grande Hotel (currently the Buchanan
Palace). And then he had someone held hostage, was this Viki and
Megan (or maybe it was Megan and Sarah??) Gabrielle played into
this somewhere, I think, because Austin had seen her switch Michael
Grande's dead baby with Brenda's baby and he blackmailed Gabby into
helping him when he went into hiding. But I'm not sure if this was
the penthouse or not, because I'm also picturing him in the basement
of the Grande Hotel. At any rate, I thought there was some kind of
explosion in the penthouse. The hostages were saved but no one ever
found Austin's body.

Gee, I'm just totally confusing myself and bringing up more
questions than giving answers. I'd appreciate any help in clearing
up my foggy memory :-).

Mike, I totally agree.  I keep waiting for Felicia to knock Ryan out and
take off.  They've been stuck in the cabin for days now.  How long did he
rent the cabin for, anyway?  They were only supposed to be there for the
weekend.  Surely someone else would have rented it or else I would think
that the owners would check up on the place.  And the blizzard is the worst
bit yet.  Yeah, it could have been a good story but it's become really
boring, unimaginative and unoriginal.

Not only is it old and tiresome, it's offensive and insulting.  I don't

        maybe that's what she needs, to be alone and use her brain for a 
        change. Leave a message and I'll get back to you.    BEEP

McDLT: I can't come to the phone right now because Susan and I are on our 
       honeymoon. Please leave your name and message and we'll get back to
       you as soon as we return. Frantic, if this is you, please answer one
       question... HOW ARE YOU DOING??   BEEP

Frantic: I can't come to the phone right now, because I'm visiting my husband
         at the hospital. It's my fault he's there, and I don't know how I'll
         ever be able to forgive myself for not trusting him. Please leave 
         your name and number and I'll get back to you as soon as I can get
         Babs to forgive me for Hal's death. BEEP

Babs: I can't come to the phone right now because I'm busy mourning Hal's 
      death. My nostrils are flaring, and that makes it difficult to talk on
      the phone. Please leave your name and number and a brief message and
      I'll get back to you if I don't spontaneously combust. Frantic, if this
      is you, don't even bother leaving a message because I'll NEVER forgive

I know Susan told me that the tiks to see him in Boston are $19. That

I left Australia having finally cheered at Macy and Thorne's
marriage after they had overcome all the odds to be together.
Having missed the whole years worth of Macy and Jake and what
ever other troubles they had, I find it difficult to deal with
the two of them being apart. I must say Thorne's character has
evolved, or should I say devolved into a fairly unlikable wuss.
I am as fond of Macy as I ever was (Gee James, this could be
the defining factor in update writers), so I want her to be
happy.

I also arrived here just after Caroline's death, and was wondering
how Bold could carry on without her. So I was at first, glad of the
appearance of Karen, albeit with a pretty questionable plotline.
BUT I hate her character. It doesn't seem like the writers really had
a clear idea at first what to do with her, I was waiting for the
Clarke/Karen plot that threatened but fizzled. Then the Karen/Ridge,
but not much there. Karen/Thorne was a reasonable idea, but I hate
what they have done with it all. Karen/Sly - now there's an idea. But
no he deserves better I think

What should she do - maybe if Karen is so convinced that Thorne thinks
more of her than of Macy (fat chance), she should move out, so earn
Macy's gratitude, and trust that Thorne will still choose her anyway.
Living with a guy is not necessarily the best way to trap him for
your own - and vice versa. Where are all the usual problems that
come up in real life shared houses, like the men leaving the toilet
seat up, and watching videos without putting your timer back on ?

To The People who are organizing the mini-convention:

For the benefit of people who can't make it to the convention, can
we pool our old archive tapes so that the highlights can be spliced
into a master tape to share?

I can't go to the convention, but am willing to splice the
highlights of some of my archive tapes.  I know I have an episode
with Flame still in her black wig, and I would be willing to take
the time to go through what I have and see if anybody is interested.

Do you think if everybody did this and posted what they had, that it
would help?  I know I'd love somebody to splice me some old
episodes, and I'd pay for it.


Maybe we should have "another survey!"
Something like:

(1) Which episodes do you have to share?
(2) Are you able to copy your tape?
(3) Are you willing to send it to [need a name] to splice into
a master tape ?
(4) Is there a episode you'd die for (Cruz/Eden wedding, etc.)

Didn't somebody say they had an area in their house that they can do
splicing? Wasn't it the people who are holding the mini-con?

Should we all start thinking about this, especially the ones who
can't go...or is there enough to do in organizing your get together?
Maybe you'd all like to do this after SB/holidays are gone and have more
time??
