Tia, I agree with you!! I don't have any problems with the
new actor, although I know there are those of you who don't
like him. But this personality change is REALLY something,
isn't it?!?!?! I keep forgetting he doesn't have any Buchanan
blood in him.

A couple of soaps have had inter-racial relationships, but has
anyone noticed that they never seem to address the racial issues
that are bound to come up. Everyone is so accepting, and that's fine
in a perfect world. So instead of using race as the stumbling
block in Kevin and Rachel's relationship, I guess the writers
have decided to use Kevin's "new and not so improved" attitude!
It's obvious Rachel is interested in Kevin, but she doesn't
like his way of thinking.

Another Asa we do not need -- one is enough, thank you very much!

Keywords: What happened to Forrest
Date: 30 Jul 92 15:49:38 GMT
Distribution: na
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder


	Does anyone know exactly what happened to John after his near
drowning and why he was in Mexico when Stefano got a hold of him, or have
the writers decided to ignore it?  I remember a few people talking about
someone named Buddy Rose a while back, but don't think I saw the episode
that he was on.  Did they explain everything then?  I think that the writers
should make an attempt to explain what went on.  After all, I think John
would be at least a little interested in why he disappeared at that ball of
Lawrence's and got into the hands of the ISA or whoever.  Obviously there's
someone out there that was manipulating his life (particularly the ISA; what
did they want him for) before Stefano got a hold of him.  
	Also, does anyone remember the name of Lawrence's and John's mother?
I wonder if there any relatives on her side that surely would have known
what happened to John.

	On a side note, I wonder if Icky is going to be bumped off by
Ernesto.  She did mention him on a part of her honeymoon where I couldn't
find the remote control to ff through it.  That would be kind of nice
because maybe then Bo will dump Carly just in case Hope is alive.

Date: 28 Jul 92 13:11:38 GMT
X-Unparsable-Date: Wed, 31 Dec 69 19:00:00 EST

But first, one comment on Monday's show:

I think we ought to take up a collection and buy Aurora a spine.  If she 
continues with this placid, two-dimensional lifestyle, her character will be 
picked up on _Star Trek: The Next Generation._

And now, spoilers!



From TV Guide:

"Frank locked Cruz and Jodie inside the soon-to-be demolished slaughter-
house, where Jodie revealed the secret she's been keeping for 20 years.  
Meanwhile, B.J. went off with Frank, believing Jodie and Cruz are in trouble 
because she told Frank's secret."

So it looks like a) B.J. *is* Cruz's daughter (how can he leave the show 
now???) and b) this "date" is yet another play of Frank's on B.J.'s over- 
developed sense of guilt.  Should be good stuff - but I hope they don't drag 
it out until Friday!  (I mean, doesn't Cruz have *kids*?  Surely, even if he 
were the type to run off with somebody else's wife, he'd *never* leave his 
kids without saying where he was going!  I sure hope someone has the presence 
of mind to panic.)

I have to say that SOD's choice of the word "date" to describe what will 
happen between B.J. and Frank is EXTREMELY insensitive.  After all, I think SB
has made an effort to present the story in a sensitive but realistic manner; 
and SOD's phrase evoked a sense of "Oh, no!  They're not going to rehabilitate
this SLIME, are they?"  Not a particularly nice thing to do to the survivors 
in the audience, even if they were trying to be sensationalistic (and even if 
we knew better).

Subject: Y&R: Thoughts on pinkslips

This "pinkslip" thread has really caught my imagination, as I try to
think which characters are "dispensable" at the present time.

(I can also say that, with few exceptions, there are not many characters I
would presently be willing to part with).

Laurie was kind enough to e-mail me specifics of the "pink-slip"
gossip, which she read on another bbs system.  That gossip said that
three "long-time prominent" cast members would leave, including
"one" member of a core family.

So, this seems to rule out such obvious cases as John Silva, Michael
Baldwin, Hillary (all of whom I thought would be likely candidates).

Who COULD this be.  I think the 'core' family member will definitely
be Ashley or Traci, probably the latter.  This saddens me, but I'm not
sure where they can take Traci (do we REALLY want to see her in ANOTHER
rivalry with Lauren for Brad?), and the current Ashley doesn't have a
lot of potential--unless she hooks with Blade.

What other "long-term" characters are ready for writing out.  Maybe
Rex, but I'm afraid he's friends with Bill Bell (seriously).
Brock--why write him off, the guy doesn't work anyway.  What about
Scott Grainger (HOPE HOPE HOPE).  IF Lauren gets custody, I could
see Scott stalking off.  We don't need Scott on the show if Sheila
comes back (even for visits), since the key feature of Sheila's dynamic
on Y&R was her rivalry with Lauren.

Could they really be axing either Jack or Victor for their feud?
(At the Emmy's, Bergman wept about a "difficult year", leading me
to believe that it wasn't all kiss-and-make-up between Braeden and
Bergman as the soap tabloids implied).  As I've said before, I am
saddened with the downturn the Abbott family has taken--Traci was
always weak, but Jack and Ashley are shadows of their former selves.
I could see the show bubbling along nicely without either Jack and Ashley--
the rivalry is lame (please--Terry Lester make up with Bill Bell!!)
I've written before that John Abbott is a favorite of mine--I sincerely
hope Bill Bell doesn't drop this stalwart character.

Kay's been on the backburner lately, as has Jill (note, Cricket is NEVER
on the backburner)--but I HOPE we don't lose them.  Nina?  Well, I guess
she and Flo could leave after being disillusioned by Ryan--but I feel
like there is unexplored potential there, and a hot/emotional triangle
with Ryan.

I guess Y&R needs some shaking up--but they better not get rid of someone
I like!  :-)

Maybe I should don my flame-retardant hospital gown (and cover my tush where
the gown flaps open) before I say this...

Being married doesn't automatically make a man cease to be attractive, and
sometimes people's emotions carry them a lot farther than is wise before
they even realize it. A person can't always prevent herself from falling
in love with an unavailable partner. (which is why Nursie serves us all
those blue pills with a G&T tracer--to keep us from getting into trouble,
or into the boiler room...)

Oh, the grim voice of personal experience. But you're right, she did have
a good guy in McDLT, and she gave him up for a weenie with a hideous
haircut and stupid-looking clothes...

Seriously, though, Spartacus a.k.a. Ollie a.k.a. H2D deserves at least as much
criticism as Frantic
does for his part in the relationship. He was, after all, the married person
in the scenario...

OK ......... so H2D deserves to get his credit for being the louse that he is!!
I guess I just thought that Frantic was smarter than that!!  Until H2D I
actually liked Frantic although I question her abilities to help anybody with
their problems!!  She couldn't even help anybody in the ward and we all know
that lots of help is necessary for this garbled crew!!

Maybe some of those green pills will help!

Nursie .... Can I speak to you for a moment?!

Hello again!

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who took the time 
to answer my first post!  It was good to know that I got through.

Welcome to all the new posters....it seems that the last couple
of days have been real unlurking days!

Yesterday was the first time I saw AMC in quite a while.  I'd read
all the comments on Dimwit's beard and Angel's hair...but it
didn't prepare me for the real thing.  I'm not a facial hair kind
of person...but Dimwit without his beard looks too darn innocent!
And Angel's red hair and outfit yesterday were beyond bad (IMHO).

I also heard Dixie say she was renting the house!

Since all the new posters have been giving little bios, here's mine:
I'm an engineering student at Purdue University, but am co-oping 
right now at NASA Lewis Research Center (that's why I've had the
time to learn about rats!)  I'm 22 and have been watching AMC on

That's about all.  Thanks again for all of the welcomes!

There was also some lounge that everyone used to go to after they ate at

I think Reva pronounced herself the slut of Springfield outside the
Country Club at the fountain.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  I don't
remember many of the scenes in the red dress, although I DO remember the
dress itself.  I just remember the scene at the Country Club with Reva
in a gold dress and Josh in a wheelchair where she pronounces herself the
slut of Springfield.  One of the best scenes in GL history.

Amen.  I like Tracy a lot better when she's independent and doing her own
