I think it would be interesting too.  Unlike a lot of other people (ie
everybody on the net), I like Robin.  I think she's a good actress when
she has a good story line.  The Brenda thing could finally prove to be
an interesting storyline.  FINALLY!!  Most of the stories right now are
boring me to tears.

I think they're focusing on the teens because all the adult couples are
so boring.  (Ned and Jenny: Yawnfest;  Paul and Tracy: going nowhere
fast;  Bill and Holly: are you kidding?? ;  AJ and Nikki: excuse me
while I retch;  Tony and Bobbie: the height of excitement, NOT!; Alan
and Monica: too riddled with other people's problems--have we even seen
them TOUCH each other in weeks?;  Sean and Tiffany: this baby thing is
just not kicking it.) 

 I think the teenagers will be the only source of excitement in an
otherwise boring town.

BTW, does anyone think that this might also be another way to tie Holly
and Julia together (Sly connection, Robin Connection)?  Maybe they'll
develop a hatred for each other and we can see some great cat fights, or
more of that great dialogue that we know the GH writers can give us
(Tracy is the best example of this).

I don't really like this storyline that much.  Maybe it's because I find
it rather sickening the way Felicia always fawns all over Ryan like he's
God's gift to the world.  Excuse me, but doesn't she think it's kind of
weird that he's always trying to discourage her from trying to regain
her memory?

I think they said that Sheila had gone to visit some relatives (Of
course, this was weeks ago, so why hasn't she come back yet?).

I'm sorry to see that Meg and Amy have been relegated back to that
horrible nurse's station.  Do we ever see them at home anymore?

Too bad they got rid of Harrison Davis so soon.  I liked that storyline.
 I hated the way she found out he was a louse so soon after their
marriage.  It was too un-soap-like.

Leslie died and Mike and Rick moved to New York (?) with Ginny.

    -Jimmie Lee Holt

Do you remember when Alan tried to frame Monica for his murder by
staging a plane crash and then going off and pretending to have amnesia?
 Well, he met this woman (sorry, I can't remember her name) and her son,
conned them, and began to live with them.

Later, he really did get amnesia (something fell on his head--I think
the boy was trying to help him get his memory back?), fell in love with
the woman, but then was found out.  He went back to Port Charles.  The
lady followed him later, met Jimmy Lee and they fell in love (see, this
story does have a point after all.)  Jimmy Lee and said woman got
> married and left town (presumably to go back to her small town.)
>     
> -Sam (my favorite policewoman)

I don't think they ever explained this.  All of a sudden, the commish
was just calling Remy into his office instead of Sam.  But maybe it had
something to do with Patrick leaving, with them being an item and all.
