    According to "Soap Opera Now" here are some added Fall Previews for DAYS:
              (with added comments by your Grape reporter)
                   
              
   *John and Isabella and their infant son find their happiness shattered
   *by the news of Isabella's inoperable pancreatic cancer.  [Corday's
    obsession for Crystal was never more evident to me than it was yesterday.
    Viewer's feelings should have been focussed on Issabella since she is
    the person afflicted with this illness and scared for what the tests may 
    show. Somehow that episode was turned around so that viewers would feel
    sorry for Carly.  Granted Carly is Issy's Dr. and couldn't divulge any
    info to Bo, or Lawrence, but why didn't she take that wait-and-see
    attitude like she told IzzyB to do.  Let's hope Carly will be half as
    comforting to Bo when he finds out he's going to lose his half-sister.
    Someone mentioned Carly isn't so bad if she isn't in every episode.
    Fat chance of that happening.  I'm surprised Carly hasn't managed to
    become a waitress at Alice's when the restaurant is at the noon rush.]

   *Bo and Carly's love stay stronger than ever although their careers demand
   *more and more attention. [Oh Puleezzzz!].  Meanwhile Lisanne Gardner 
   *continues to scheme her way into becoming Mrs. Lawrence Alamain but she
   *must crush Lawrence's feelings for Carly.  Lisanne discovers that Nicholas
   *is Carly and Larry's son and the repercussions could tear Bo and Carly 
    apart.  [Yeah, yeah, yeah...right into Larry's arms and once again Carly 
    takes center stage.  What about all this love she's professed to Bo for
    the past 2 years?  What about their mock Mayan Wedding?  Are the viewers
    suppose to conveniently forget about this too?] 

   *Austin and his younger sister (Billie) take Salem by storm.  Austin's
   *gambling and Billie's drug addiction are two secrets haunting them,
   *unknown to Carrie and Tim.  ["No, not you Tim!"  Wouldn't you just know
    Austin will have a reason to why he needs money.]  

   *Kimberly spends her nights out of the house as her sexy alternate
   *personality, Lacey, who loves to party and dance the night away.  Kim
   *is baffled by the strange situations she suddenly finds herself in,
   *and is determined to win the battle against Lacey for control of her
   *own life. [Patsy is really getting into her other personality of Lacey]. 

   *Marlena continues to turn Roger away from drinking and back to painting.
   *They begin to step beyond the realm of their doctor/patient relationship. 
   *Stella's jealousy of Marlena spins out of control and Roman becomes
   *frustrated with Marlena's priorities.  Roman's priorities shift when he
   *tries to solve a haunting murder that takes him dangerously close to
   *discovering that the killer may be someone near and dear.

   *Jennifer and Jack are reunited as the time grows closer for Jen to have
   *their baby.  In typical Jack/Jen fashion the birth will be full of
   *surprises.  Upon returning to Salem Jen's career will take-off (natch)
   *and Jack will become Mr. Mom.  They will move in with Tom and Alice.
    [If written well (HA!) this story could be interesting BUT I've given
    up hoping for anything on this soap.  IMHO this story will give Matt
    and Missy little airtime.  I'd say two days a week with token scenes.]
    
                        *Update on "Manhattan Lives*

    There is a possibility ML will be broadcast on another network other
    than NBC. Reportedly ABC is interested in taking both Corday Prods.
    soaps as a package deal.  The two soaps would replace "The Home Show" 
    and possibly LOVING on the ABC schedule.  Corday refuses to comment on
    this.  Corday did say that DAYS is contracted to NBC until March 1993.  
    It is currently renegotiating with the network. [Why would ABC want
    DAYS much less Corday's new soap?]
