                         The "Cutting" Edge
     ********************************************************************
     I knew my silent vigils had to pay off sooner or later.  Corday
     finally saw the light and realized Rabin couldn't do his job 
     objectively or effectively any longer.  I received a call about
     his departure but didn't want to relay this great news for fear 
     of jinxing it.  I was thrilled to read Greg's Spoilers!!  Yes!!!
     A clash between Corday and Rabin was a long time coming and the
     viewers have paid dearly for it!  It all makes sense now why
     Corday told my friends at the Digest Awards that it was his fault
     for almost losing Matt and the fact that Corday took over again
     as spokesman for the show.  Rabin had done all the interviews up
     until these last couple of months.  From what I found out in the
     past 24 hours the cast of DAYS knew he'd be leaving and they were
     just waiting for it to become official.   It's like the dawn of
     a new soap is emerging!!  [Hopefully this means Jack won't have
     to talk to his imaginary fathers for the rest of his life!  They
     were a good idea at first but like everything it's been worn into
     the ground.  Between them and Jack thinking he's seeing people
     in freeze-frame Jack needs serious help.  Illness, no matter
     whether it's physical or mental, should never be taken as a joke]!


                            "Moments" to Love
     ******************************************************************
     Matt was only on two short scenes of "Quantum Leap" but I guess it
     was the quality I enjoyed :-) not the quantity.  NBC did promo ads
     for him for QL and then promoting him for DAYS right after the show
     ended.  Did anyone notice that the picture on the front of the "Soap
     Studs" magazine the agent was holding was of Matt?

     
  

                              "Straight Talk"
      *****************************************************************
      I can hardly stomach Bo telling everyone how much pressure Carly's
      under.  As long as the story doesn't focus on the couple Bo is
      always going to look like a real wuss. Carly is what the show is
      showcasing so Bo is simply along for the ride.  I was hoping RKK
      would bring in an entirely new Bo but, so far, he hasn't been
      allowed to.  Corday said that hiring RKK would assure that the
      character of Bo wouldn't miss a beat.  I think Bo should have not
      only missed a beat but changed rhythm completely.  All I see is
      an imitation of Reckell.  RKK says he never saw Peter's work but
      it's hard to believe.  He can do better, as he showed on AW, and
      I hope he'll be allowed to step out of Peter's shadow and create
      his own Bo. I still feel some loyalty to Reckell being the original
      Bo and find it strange calling this actor Bo Brady.  


                         "Against All Odds" 
       *********************************************************
       I hope Jack gets to do scenes with Lisanne and Larry.  He 
       needs to interact with more characters since Missy will
       be gone all summer. Why can't Jack do a story on the jewel
       theft or do publicity in defense of the hospital on the
       lawsuit.  Someone posted that maybe Jennifer would get a
       story after her pregnancy leave.  She's the one who has
       been the focus of the couple for the past 2 years.  First 
       the Katerina story, which lead to the rape story, which
       brought us to the rape trial, which lead to her one woman
       crusade for Howard and the homeless which brought us to
       Hawk!  For a short while J&J's story was decent and dealt
       with their loss of money, and the baby but now...how do I 
       say this tactfully....this hypochondria story BITES!!
