Will someone please explain to me why Ivabeenputtingoffgettingmarriedformonths
has suddenly up and decided to marry JohnnyD?  Why was she stalling?
I thought for sure that we were in for a major storyline here (something
along the lines of `Gee, mybe I don't really love him.  I think I'll
follow Murphy's lead, piss off Dan Quayle, and raise not one, but two
children by myself.').  What changed her mind?  

Enquiring minds want to know . . .

GGG

BTW: I got the yearbook Friday - it's outstanding!!!!!  Jeep - you are
truly amazing!

	Of course people are going to figure it out. It's just that it 
permits that elusive quality called "plausible denial" that the CIA and
State Department like so much.

	Sure people are going to guess, but as long as it "could have
happened" that way, Anne can save face. Anyone who says otherwise is
just going to be considered mean and spiteful.

	Not to nitpick, I agree with you entirely. I just like digging
a little deeper into character motivations.

	P.S. I started watching this show because of the plethora
of blondes. I keep watching because it is an interesting look into
the past and it has good writing. Obviously it can't be for the
blondes since Ginger, Anne and Linda have changed.

  I really am getting bored with GH trying to resurrect old
charactors, in hopes that they will breath life back into the
show ( usually always ends up a disappointment). Robert, Anna
were getting pretty old. I got real tired of the same old good
guy - bad guy scene ( even tho I did like there acting ability).
I never thought that GH would ever be the same again after Luke
and Laura left, but then came Robert and it was a good era then
too. It time to build new emotional bonds to a new lead charactor
which takes time to do. I think that Mac and Felicia will be the 
next. All gh needs to do is get actors that have a little more
personality than a styro-foam cup. There needs to be more action
and less gabbing. They have to many dud's like Holly, Conner, Paul
Jenny and Dominique. They seem to be focusing to much on them.
  Ax them all!

OK here's a synopsis of the 'Daytime TV's Sexiest Men in Concert' - or
'The Men of General Hospital In Concert'.  (Wally Part- expanded) - if you
want the entire synopsis - email me and I'll post - but I figure most don't
want it all.


Wally Kurth was last one the schedule.  Somehow the comedian who was the MC
forgot that he's on GH now  - not DOOL - introducing him from DOOL - which 
caused a murmur to go through the crowd.  Wally picked up on it right away -
that was a previous life - In his first life he was Wally, 2nd life Justin, 
and he's now on his 3rd life as Ned.  He and his partner Christian Taylor 
sang 5 songs from their new album - debuting some of them at this concert. 
I've got the address for ordering if anyone is interested.  Most of the songs
were new but Wally did the obligatory 'Give Me Wings'.  He commented that the 
concert was like second day for him - he had spent most of the day rehearsing
HHH.  

After Wally and Christian finished - the entire 'cast' was brought out for
another round of applause - and then they closed with a song Wally wrote
about what it's like to work on a soap opera and be a soap actor.

After the concert was over all graciously signed autographs and posed for
pictures with all the fans.  

I don't think many of the GH fans knew he sang - I was sitting not to 
far from him while he was signing autographs - and heard several comments to 
that effect.  He once again was his usual gracious self - I got some 
pictures for his newsletter (this was after the concert - no cameras with 
flashes were allowed during the concert).

Comments on Wednesday's show:

1)  Lillian said something to Eve about her one chance that ended up being
a bad marriage to a bad man.  I forget her exact words, but it was
obvious that she was talking about Bradley and that's the only man we have
ever SEEN her married to.  BUT, what about Beth's father?  We all know that
Bradley was Beth's step-father, so are they telling us that Lillian was
never married to Beth's father?  I find that hard to believe.

2)  I knew that either Blake or Holly would end up in that pool by the
end of the scene, but I have a question about Blake's dress.  Why did she
choose something so ... so ... fitted, revealing to wear to Ross's
speech at the Country Club with the religious leaders of Springfield?  She
was trying to help him at the time (she wasn't mad at him, yet) and she
wore that black, strapped, fitted dress.  That's not like Blake to do 
something that could hurt Ross's image.  I know she stayed in the background,
but still.

3)  Holly's outfit was just a touch young for her.  It fit well, and she
can pull something like that off, but the skirt was a TAD short for her,
in my opinion.  I know she was trying to get back at her daughter, but
didn't she and AM leave straight from the TV station?

I actually don't watch much of B&B anymore, because I don't see the
point to such storylines. The last time I watched was when Sheila and
Lauren were on, but when the whole week turned out to be one lousy
dream, B&B got on my nerves all the more.
I WANT CAPITOL BACK!! I still don't see why the soap was taken off. It
wasn't like the ratings were awful or anything. I still don't understand
why they felt B&B would be more interesting to watch. It has been rather
boring for me. The only thing worth watching seems to be the fashion
shows.

 I think that Tiffany will find out that she is preggy and will

will see that Booby is yearning to have Lucas back and give her
custody of him.

I live in San Diego and January is a bad month financially for me (just

I've finally decided what it is I dislike about Gnatalie's hair. Not
only is the colour a bleached out looking blond, but it's so dry! It
looks like my Barbie's hair when I was a kid, and washed & combed it a
coupla times too many. Looks like straw. The girl is in desperate need
of a deep, hot oil treatment.

wish it did.]
Scene 7
Brenda stops by Julia's for money. Julia gives her $10 and says get to school.
Scene 8
Jagger speaks to the school principal about registering. The guy is not too
pleased to have him back.

she's seriously considering her design. She snaps that she said she was. They
also discuss Brenda a bit.
Scene 10
Brenda arrives at the principal's office to register. She banters sexily at
Jagger who's still there waiting. She suggests they study together, but he
blows her off fairly severely.
Scene 11
All the teen dudes and dudettes, sit around at lunch. Of course, we have the

Tracy is back to needling Ned about Jenny. After he leaves, Marco Dane shows up
at the window.

face.

smoking. [Say goodbye to the Jagger we know and love.]

the menu." He smiles back.

guys in Portland.  Tracy is not impressed.

     The Cruise was held in the spring/summer of 1990.  Ernesto Toscano, Izzy and
Marina's dad, decided to get revenge on Victor for having an affair with Loretta
(his wife) which produced Izzy.  So, he got all his enemies on a cruise ship, the
Loretta...J&J, Vic, Julie, Roman, Izy, Bo and Hope.  He blew up the ship and took
Izzy with him and began slowly poisoning her.  The others were shipwrecked on a
desert island.  It was totally ridiculous...Julie spent the whole time running
around in a *very* low cut evening gown.  J&J finally did the deed, and Ernesto
killed Hope.  It was all pretty hokey.

think the well incident was a long time ago, then they may just do
