I hope Arleen doesn't come back.  My reasons?

1.  These write-errs wouldn't know humor if it painted itself purple and
danced around on a grand piano wearing a sign saying "I am Humor, hear me
roar"

2.  She'd never get any airtime.

3.  What airtime she did get would be spent with Carly, or else
she'd be given an awful storyline, like being paired with Hawk and
thinking she was dying or something.

I hope she talks with GH or SB...she deserves better than a bit part
on Days of Carly's Lives...

Well, you're wrong.  I like them together.  But I do agree with some
of you on something else:  where do I get in line for McCabe?  What
number do I get, 4?  Will numbers 1, 2 & 3 please hurry up and pass
him along?

As for Friday's episode, I have never ever ever cried before watching
a soap, but Cruz' goodbyes and Kelly's anguish did me in.  Oh I've
been teary before, but not crying.  And I'm not a long-time Cruz/SB
watcher, so I can rule out the 'goodbye to an old friend' thing.  I
guess the emotions just got me -- I think it was seeing Forry teary
that did it, because I don't think he's a crier.

ED has done good work lately.  Again, I don't have an old Kelly actress
to go by, nor do I know what her character used to be.  But I like
this Kelly.  I think this show is good at developing characters that
are likeable and different from one another--Kelly fits this (as do
nearly all the others on the show).

So, today's my update, eh?  Hope I can do as well as you others do.

Pat

P.S.  Anyone have details on the ages and marital status of the
actors and actresses on this show?

I think she should find someone who treats her better.... 
I know he finally came around
but it took a long time like he is Mr. Cool and she should get on her
knees and beg. And also when she finds out that dixie and he made love
and she will, she will be so hurt all over again.

If they do get back together, I will not like it unless he treats her
like he used to, like she deserves.

   Last year, I got semi-hooked on a soap that came on 
   2 nights a week called "Dangerous Women."  It had a women in prison
   theme to it & was hilariously bad.  An indepedent station in L. A.
   carried it (KCOP channel 13).  Does anyone know what happened
   to this show?  I tuned in one night & it was gone!
   Is it still appearing anywhere around the country?

Again you assume, I didn't say snooty.  I said that she should be convincing
as an heiress.  You know someone who the storyline has said is well-travelled,
well-educated and who speaks multiple languages.  Someone who comes across
as worldly.  She comes across as a girl who grew up in a small town in
Colorado which BTW is exactly what Spaci is.  That does not constitute acting.

Possibly, but she also bumped the ratings up to the highest they've been
in well over a year.  Something Spaci never did.  Doesn't sound like they
fired the right actress (and I use that word very losely in Spaci's case)
to me.

Actually, the only character on the show that can were basic black
and still look sexy is Simone.  (My personal favorite since Melanie
Smith left.)  However, as a practicing dirty old man...while their

Did anyone else think that Frantic and Superdick worked well together in

to see a triangle with Frantic, Superdick and Babs. Imagine the nostril

Anyway... did anyone else notice that or was it all in my imagination.

Not only is the "photo album" picture not updated, but there is a photo
of Angelique and Dimitri on a table in their living room, and it is
of Angel with Blonde hair. I noticed it last week when I was watching the

I hope they're not writing out Angelique. I'd like to see her

The character you refer to is Nikki, played by actress Dana Barron.

I like the character of Nikki. I hope the producers don't fade her out like
the other women who falls for Brandon ... the fall-in-love-with-Brandon
scenario where Brandon falls in love, Brandon finds out about the "dark
side" of the woman, woman exits stage left from the show.

I really thought they should have developed the plot between David and Nikki
... it started to get interesting at the beach house. I guess one triangle
(i.e., Dylan-Brenda-Kelly) was enough.
