Well, eventhough I've cancelled my subscription, I'm still getting SOD.  I
know some of you are already aware of this information, but I thought I
would post some of the stuff anyway.

DEPARTURES:

I'm not going to mention the stuff from the article regarding SSH's
departure, since it is pretty close to all of the info we have been
hearing.  As for Kim.....

DAYS'S KIM EXITS

In a move that's sure to surprise DOOL fans, Patsy has left the show.
"Patsy Pease was let go at the end of her [contractual] cycle," expalins a
DOOL spokesperson, refusing to elaborate further.  [LET GO!!!! I though she
left!]

While the reasons behind the decision are still unclear, sources close to
the show say the actress walked off the set in late November and did not
return.  Some insiders speculate that Patsy's split personality storyline,
coupled with the departure of her good friend Charles Shaughnessy, proved
too emotionally difficutly for Pease.  We are working on the story.
Details will follow in the next issue.

1993 Previews

BRADY CRUNCH:  Look for major explosions in the Brady household.  Back from
the pit, Marlena's a changed woman and hell-bent on reevaulating her life.
Early in '93, she'll finally has out the past with Roman and John [Ed.
Note:  This was foreshadowed a bit on today's (12/23) show.  John and
Marlena had a great scene about the past.], but don't expect a resolution
here.  "The story will take a shocking, totally unpredictable direction,"
says new Head Writer James Reilly.  Added to that Roman and Marlena will
have two miracle-growth kids on their hands.  Eric and Sammi will come home
from Colorado, suddenly 15 years old.  

CARRIE'S CRISIS:  Carrie's deepening involvement with Austin and Billie's
troubles put her at loggerheads with Roman.  There's an even more
shattering development this year, when an incredible revelation regarding
Austin and Billie comes to light.

TURMOIL, UNLIMITED:  [And I bet you guys thought SHE wouldn't be
mentioned!!!] Lawrence will continue his quest to keep Bo and Carly from
ever marrying.  Whill he succeed?  Bo and Billie will keep crossing paths,
but Reilly assures us that, for the time being, "Bo's main interest and
only love is still Carly"...Don't count Vivian out.  She regains her power
soon and moves even closer to Victor, who'll be expanding his Salem power
base in a big way...Jack's manuscript is a powerful Pandora's box.  Who'll
get hurt when the box opens all the way?  "The book will reveal a lot about
Salem's past," hints Reilly.  He also confides that a once-popular couple,
Abe and Lexy, are coming back to the fore.  "They'll be involved in a
unique story drawing them closer to the Brady's."  [Maybe Abe or Lexy is
another long lost child of the Brady's!!!]

HOURGLASS HOUR SHOW:  On Friday night, Feb. 26, DOOL will telecast a
one-hour prime-time special, scheduled to air on NBC right before the SOD
AWARDS SHOW. [SURPRISE, SURPRISE!!!!]  The telecast will include not-to-be
missed bombshells on all major story fronts.

WHY EVERYBODY LOVES FRANCES REID

Alice Horton of DOOL does more than make the doughnuts:  Frances Reid, the
actress who's played lovable Alice for 27 years, is  an off-camera activit
in AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists), the union
to which all soap actors belong, and a world traveler.  Among the most
popular stars on DOOL, Reid is renowned for her warmth and sense of humor.
But let's let her castmates put it in their own words:

Susan Seaforth Hayes:  "Frances Reid is the dotty grandmother you never had
unless you were very lucky."

Macdonald Carey:  "Well, I can't say that [I lover her] because Frances is
everbody's mother, because that has other connotations now.  But she is
[everybody's mother], in a very real sense, and has been since the
beginning of the show.  She carries it on in her own lifestyle because in
her work with AFTRA, she's a very caring person, not only for the people
and the characters she's been involved with on the show, but in real life
with the actors she works with."

Peggy McCay:  "I love Frances Reid because she's a wonderful actress and
wonderful to work with.  She has a wonderful sense of humor.  She's always
willing to help out.  She works with the union.  She works for causes.
Frances always finds time -- especially to help the actors."

Melissa Reeves:  "I have to love her because she's my [soap] grandmother.
But I love her because she's the best.  We all lover her here.  There isn't
one person who doesn't love Frances Reid."

RKK:  "She's like the grandmother I never had."

Matt Ashford:  "You can count on Frances Reid to say the one thing that
everybody's thinking."

Frank Parker:  "I love Frances Reid because Frances Reid is Frances Reid,
and believe me, that says it all."

Lisa Rinna:  "She doesn't remember my name but she still says, 'Hi' to me
all the time.  She doesn't remember my name, and she knows she doesn't, and
I know she doesn't, but we always chate [ as if] she does.  I love her --
she's the sweetest lady.  We live down the street from each other."

Suzanne Rogers:  "I love Frances Reid because she was the nicest person to
me when I first came on the show.  She's always opened up her house to have
wonderful parties, and she brings us LEMONS from her tree and beautiful
flowers from her garden.  She really is like a grandma."

Louise Sorel:  "What's so wonderful about Frances Reid is that she's like
sunshine.  She's bright and she's wittty and she's feisty and she's
extraordinarily feminine.  She's also a wonderful listener.  She's a
traveler, which is very important.  She's a learning person, and I want to
be just like her when I grow up."

Well, that's all for now.  HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!!
