Gee, I still use 4-1-1.  Of course, it is only good if I want to get
the telephone number of the people who live next door, because everyone
else is now a long distance call and to get their number you do have
to use the 555 number.

  I totally agree with this.  I thought that conversation was great--
  they actually had a conversation that sounded like real
  people discussing real issues!  The thing that irritates
  me about soaps at times is that characters so rarely have
  conversations that sound real.  I also liked Taylor a lot
  in that scene.  I know that she sounded young and naive,
  but I also thought that it was realistic.  Given how she
  was brought up and how sheltered she has been, it makes
  sense that she might not see racism as a personal issue
  and that she might think that it is no longer prevalent.  This
  has probably been true in her world and she hasn't had 
  enough experience yet to know what things are like in
  the rest of the world.  Really good scene!!

   Well, I definitely think that Taylor is in for a rude 
   awakening.  She is just too innocent about racism. 
   Now that she is entering a world in which
   she won't be so sheltered and protected, she is going
   to be exposed to reality.  My guess is that they might
   use this to set up situations in which Taylor is confronted
   with some ugly racist attitudes and maybe becomes
   more aware of her heritage.  I think this has potential
   for being a really good storyline.

    Is it possible for Helga to have an evil twin?  I 
    thought soap twins came in sets of 1 evil twin and
    1 good twin.  Maybe AMC will be out there breaking
    new ground with the daring avant garde plot device
    of using a set of twins in which both are evil.
    That's our AMC.  Always on the cutting edge!

RE:	Firing of Susan S. Hayes from DOOL


I feel that this is a tragedy.  One of the finest, strongest women on
this show has been let go, in favor of many actresses no where near her
talent.  The character of Julie connects so well with characters such as
Jack and Victor, and yet she has been wasted by the writers.  What
happened to the romance between Victor and Julie that was hinted at
numerous time?  This could have been a wonderful storyline, and yet
nothing became of it.  A Julie/Victor/Vivian triangle could have been
dynamic, as two strong women fight over a dashing yet dangerous man. 
This would beat the Marlena/Roman/John story that is currently
developing, and definitely would catch more audience attention than the
Carly/Bo/Lawrence storyline.

As a twenty-six year old law student, I have to say that the teen
storylines do nothing for me.  Billie and Austin Reed, not to mention
the Ballistix crowd, are horrible additions to a show that for years had
so many fine characters and storylines with mainstay characters such as
Jack, Kayla, Steve, Shane, Kim, Mike, Jenn, Victor and Stephano.  These
are the characters who the audience cares about and who they want to
watch.  I am a third-generation DOOL watcher, having grown up watching
during the summers with my grandmother and mother.  In college, I
arranged my class schedule so that at least twice a week I was able to
watch DOOL.  Now, even with a VCR, I don't feel that watching is as
important as it once was.  The show is not the same.   Gone are the days
of Eugene & Calliope, Tony & Anna, Bo & Hope, Shane & Kim, Kayla & Steve
-- couples that had magic.  Today that magic is lacking, and the loss of
Julie will only add to the lack of magic.

Such changes are causing many regular DOOL viewers to reduce or quit
altogether the time they spend with DOOL.  Please reconsider the
dismissal of Ms. Hayes, and try to recover some of the magic of the old
DOOL.

A loyal viewer,

DOES ANYBODY THINK THAT ADAM WILL STAND IN FOR STUART

I don't know what could happen to keep Stuart from the
Wedding but there a million things Adam could do to
keep Stuart from the wedding night!
Adam might even tell Gloria it's him but if she swears
not to tell anyone he'll let Adam, Jr. go back to Dixie.
Then, after Dix gets Junior back he can blackmail her
into sleeping with him by threatening to tell Stuart.

Vicki Majors asked me to pass this summary along.  (BTW, for those of
you who set your VCR's, Vicki told me that this interview occurred
about 10 minutes before the end of the show.)  There is a *very* *small*
spoiler, so bail out now if you're really against knowing *anything*
in advance of watching the show.

*******

Joan Lunden introduced Michael Knight/Tad by calling Tad a "desirable
devil".  She also said that Tad "has amnesia, but hasn't forgotten his
charming ways."  GMA then showed the scene from AMC where Tad meets
Gloria and baby Peter outside Opal's room, where he tries to charm
Gloria.

Michael then said that he had left AMC twice and came back ("like a
bad cold," he said), but that Agnes Nixon always keeps the character of
Tad interesting.  He said that his character has always had a
sense of humor that some characters don't have.

Michael was then asked whether people within the acting industry
took soaps seriously, and he replied that they did because so many
of them had started in soaps.

Joan mentioned that Michael has done several things since he left
AMC:  stage, t.v. appearances, and a movie, Hex, which he said will
be out on January 22.  He said it's an offbeat, sexual comedy
thriller.  (I may have misunderstood this; it may be a television
movie that will be on on January 22.)

Joan then asked him when he would get his memory back, and he said
[and here's the tiny spoiler, folks - i've added a control-L]

they would continue to tease the audience for 2 or 3 more weeks, but
his memory should be back on the air the first week of February.

At some point in the interview (I can't remember where--my amnesia is
acting up), he was asked whether having amnesia gave him an excuse when
he forgot his lines.  He laughed and said that he does forget his lines
sometimes.

Joan congratulated him on his marriage, and the interview
ended.  The whole interview lasted five minutes or less.  I was
disappointed.  I wanted to see and listen to more of Michael and
hear more about AMC.  It was interesting, however, that the segment
just before Michael was about the changing sexual preferences of
American women (I prefer Tad anyday).

If I have left anything out or gotten something wrong, feel free to
correct it.

I'm afraid I have to come out of the shadows to disagree here. I was totally
disgusted with the way Ed kept saying "Don't leave me alone, don't leave me

worried about himself. Maybe Maureen heard him and died out of spite :-)

When Jon and I married, 9.5 years ago, I had mixed feelings about
taking his last name.  My maiden name connects me to my "roots" and
I didn't want to lose it.  Especially since my only brother, the
one to carry on the family name (my father is an "only), had just
died (5 wks before) in an airplane accident.  But I did want to
be traditional, and it turned out to be important to my husband, so
I have kept my maiden name as an additional middle name.  I didn't
want anything hyphenated, so I'm Evelyn Sue Bandes Mast!

   He's not Henry or a Spaulding.  He was a man who came up with the
idea of oil exploration through the use of computers,or something.
He took his idea to Brandon Spaulding,who promptly stole the idea from
this man and didn't give him a cent for it.  Spaulding then used this
idea,in action,to make millions of dollars.  Jenna's father was never
given credit or any money.  This is why Henry pretended to be her father,
because he knows Jenna had a legal claim to *millions!*  With the mess
that AM has made of the pharmaceutical division of Spaulding,they can't
get their hands on enough cash right now to offer Jenna a settlement.
Hope this helps.
