     Good point.  I was probably biased in my questioning the instant
bond because of personal experience.  One of my best friends is adopted
and a few years back she hunted down her birth mother.  It was a complete
disaster.  They had nothing in common, the woman wasn't exactly happy
to see her...it was all a big mess.  They don't keep in touch at all
and are probably better off for it.  My friend was in therapy for
several years cause of it.  So I guess maybe because of that I
have a problem buying this thing with Carly and Nicky.

Hi!

Now that you mentioned it, she did sound like Belle.  However, Belle was
done by Paige O'Hara who is apparently well-known on Broadway.

            "'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS"
               As told by Monica Quartermaine

'Twas the night before Christmas and 
all through the penthouse
Not a creature was stirring not even
Marco, that louse.
Lucy's stockings were flung on the floor 
without care
in hopes that Scott soon would be
there;
Ned and Jenny were nestled all snug in
their bed
while visions of Julia and Paul danced
in their heads;
And Alan in his boxers and I in my neg-
ligee
had just started bickering in our usual
way
When out on the lawn there rose such
a clatter,
I ran to the window to see what was
the matter.
When what to my wondering eyes
should appear
but a full length limo and eight well-
dressed reindeer
with a tall handsome driver; so lively
and racey,
I knew in a moment, it must be that
alien Casey!
More rapid than Bobbie's tears they
came
And he whistled and shouted and
called the kids by name:
"Now Robin! Now Dom! Now Brenda,
you vixen!
On Jason! On A.J.! On Jagger! Start
mixin!
To Meg, Stacey, and Amy, to the doctors
all
Now get some romances going before 
next fall!"
As I wondered how much champagne I
had drunk,
down the chimney came Casey, truly a
hunk!
His eyes: how they twinkled! His dim-
ples: how merry!
His cheeks were chiseled and his man-
ners quite airy.
His droll little mouth was drawn up
like a bow,
and his distinguished sideburns were
white as the snow.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his
head
soon gave me to know I had nothing to
dread.
He blew me a kiss beofre I could
speak
and giving a nod, promised to return
next week.
He sprang to his limo, to his reindeer
gave a cry,
and away they drove with Bill's young
son Sly!
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove
out of sight:
"Happy Christmas to all, and to Port
Charles a good night!"

      dec 30 show- for those of you that were lucky enough not to see
      it-


      Micheal had Rebbecca slip Danny a couple of "knock out" drugs.
      After Danny passed out, photographers were brought in to take
      photos of Danny & Rebbecca in compromising positions.


      looks like it is time to stop watching this show again.

Kevin and Joey are the sons of Vicki and Joe Riley.  Clint adopted them
after he and Vicki were married, that is why they have the last name
Buchannan now.

More info on Jack's "mystery lady":

The new year on AMC starts off with a mysterious new
woman in JACK's life - and in her first dramatic
appearance in Pine Valley, she actually saves his
life!
Kristen Jensen joins the show in the role of the
mystery lady.  Producers intend to keep Jack
(Walt Willey) in the dark for quite awhile as
the woman appears, vanishes and reappears in the
coming weeks.  By the end of January, Jack still
won't even know her name - and neither will the
viewers.
On New Year's Eve, Jack is driving on an icy road,
brooding over his breakup with Angelique, when
suddenly he spots a woman in front of his car and
brakes hard to avoid running her down.  He would
have plummemted over a steep embankment if he had
kept on driving.

Oh, goodie.  This sounds like it might be
annoying.

	I wouldn't go so far as to say I like this Bo better than

	selection of people, RKK can do a decent job.  He's tolerable
	with ShawnD and Alice.  I also think ShawnD has improved.  I
	think it's his timing and tone.  I laughed when Bo was throwing
	Carly's suit cases around.  For some reason I can picture
	someone like him doing that.  Yeah, yeah I know it's childish
	but I've had a few fights with whom I was having relations with
	and let me tell you sometime we both did some pretty wild things.
	I poured water in my (now) ex's brand new Frye boots and set them
	outside to freeze for example.

	Getting back to Bo tho, I do think that his family should be
	feeling sorry for Bo and not Carly.  Sure no one can say they've
	never lied but, and it's a big but, different lies affect people
	differently.  Had this been any other man, maybe Bo could forgive
	her, but this is Bo's biggest adversary.  Not too mention the fact
	Carly lied to him before, and he forgave her.  How many times can he
	be expected to forgive and forget.  I also can't believe how everyone
	feels sorry for Carly and Larry.  Everyone HATED Larry at one time
	and this feeling sorry for him is stupid.  I think Bo should be the
	one they're concerned with not Carly.  He's the one that traditionally	
	flies off the handle.  I remember the riverfront raider stuff and
	think this pretty much follows the same pattern.  If RKK would lose
	the cocky attitude, like he did last Monday, I might be inclined
	to like him.

	What on earth was John doing at Larry's house?  Sure John's a
	nice guy, but this is too much of a stretch.  The last time
	the two of them where together John was threatening to destroy
	him.  I don't like the way we are just expected to forget the

	his past and bring on a new bad guy.  There are none right now
	and this show desperately needs one.

I tend to think that is the way they will go, too. Now, if only
we could get Nico and Cecily back - remember that Fab Four??

BUT - Remember that this is a soap!  If Tad and Dixie get
back together, they are only permitted a few weeks of
happiness before the beginnings of the crisis that will
break them up again!!!

Soooo - who gets Tad after the Dixie-Tad breakup??
;)
(Aren't I a real pain sometimes??)

True, but when she was with Adam there were quite a few
sparks.  She was wimpy with Jack, wimpy with Edmund,and
maybe a little to mushy with Tom (although I did like the
two together).  She and Tad had some good moments, too.
Do you think Family Values will prevail, and Tad-Brooke-
Jamie eventually become a family unit?

Poor Brian.  He gets so dumped on by people in the net.  I guess
no one remembers what it was like to be an 18-year old guy?? ;)

I actually think he hasn't done too badly, maybe a little
clueless, but hey!  Even the geniuses on the show have been
pretty brain-dead lately!  So in comparing Brian to, say,
Timmy and Harold, well, of course he comes out pretty dumb!

But Jackson, Brooke, Edmund, Angelique, Dmitri - "Gosh,
who could have a motive for moving Hugo's body?  Who could
it be, hmm, let me think, could it be...  SATAN!!"
When it was completely obvious it was Helga they were more
brain-dead than Brian has been - and most of them have
finished College - since Brian is a freshman, he still
has a few more weeks before he gets his degree from PVU!!  ;)

Brian is another one I feel sorry for.  Dixie will go
back to Tad-Ted, Hayley is pretty obviously falling for
Charlie (who is a little long-in-the-tooth), An-Li and
Terrence seem solid if dull... So where does the Bri-guy
go from there??  :-(

Feli,

Just recently I found myself in a similiar situation.  I searched every
video store found in the yellow pages.  No go.  Then I happened to
remember that Tower records had videotapes that they rent/sell.  This
store is nationwide, I believe.  Anyway, when I contacted them, they
told me that they would look but, that if they didn't have it and if
it was available on videotape, they could special order it for me.

Hope this helps

Sue

Yes, I felt like a total sap! I bawled when Dixie sang w/Junior. I bawled 
when Opal had her baby. I bawled when Natalie got hersight back! My only  
saving grace was I was watching this around 2am. Thank gawd the family was 
asleep! If they knew how sentimental I truly am, they'd be floored.
(Besides, I have a reputation to uphold!) :) :)
