I agree.  I wonder why NOT-Nat hasn't been seen lately.  Come to think
of it alot of people have been missing.  Trevor, Timmy, Harold, Myrtle,
and Galen

I guess it's vacation time on AMC.

E: Jason's Ears etc.

Yes, his ears are a problem - almost as bad as Jenny's wart. That little
carbunkle takes on remarkable proportions on a large screen, let me tell
you - but anyway, on to less snarky things:

A few weeks ago Jagger and Julia's sister (what's her name again? -
Lolita? Vampirella?) were coyly wagging rubbers at each other while
parked at "makeout point". My question is this:

I've heard them mentioned a few times but I don't remember having seen a
real live condom on a soap before. Is this another GH first or has it
been done before?

All right, after over a year of lurking, I've decided it's time to
introduce myself, but not before I tell you all how much fun it is
keeping up with AMC through r.a.t.s.  You all are great!  I'm
still a starving grad student (in math), so I don't have time to watch AMC
live, and no money to invest in a better VCR that might actually
tape something on occasion; consequently, I really enjoy reading
all the updates and comments.  And, no, I don't have a cat, but
I would in a second if my lifestyle permitted it!

Anyhow, in keeping with this thread, here's a sort of trivia question:

How many other AMC characters (besides Tad) have at some time
thought that someone else was their mother or father, rather
than the real one?

Hayley of course comes to mind, since she grew up thinking that
Harry Vaughn was her biological father.

And I don't know if we should count Nina; she thought her mother
was dead, not someone else.

Any others?

I thought Adam seduced her right in the Chandler mansion, like
in her servants' quarters or something.  I definitely remember
there being a real bed and the thing I remember the *most* is
how Adam seduced Dixie by talking to her on and on about how
important it is to have blood ties and for families to stay
together, etc. etc.  He really played on how strongly she felt 
about Melanie and Will and how the three of them were separated
or abandoned (whatever it was) when they were growing up.  ANd
post-seduction, Dixie was hanging onto her Bible or something
like that.  (That was in her young, pious, naive days.  Oops,
I guess she's still naive... ;)

[Sorry to get all serious on you, Dave.]

On the a related note, is there a bed in the boat house?  (I
haven't actually watched the show in about 2 years)  And if so, 
what is it doing there???  Did Adam tell his interior decorator
to put it there?

SUSAN HAYES DROPPED FROM 'DAYS' CAST

Last week, Days of Our Lives executive producer, Ken Corday, informed
Susan Hayes that her services would no longer be needed.  According
to Hayes, who called us last week, "Julie's story has been told.  It's
on to the next generation."  Hayes last scheduled appearance will be
during the second week in January.
"I really didn't want to go," said Hayes, "I appreciate the fans and
the kindness they've shown me.  I'll miss my Salem family.  I asked
Ken if they could rethink the situation and even made several offers."
Those offers included a cut in salary and a cut in appearances on the
show.  She also asked Corday if she might have a meeting with the
show's new co-head writer, Jim Reilly.
"Ken said he would make the suggestion, that he would like to keep me
on, but it was the writers' and network decision.  A week after our
meeting, I went back to Ken and he told me the writers felt there was
no need to meet with me."
While everyone credits Luke and Laura of General Hospital with giving
daytime its credibility, they're wrong.  Luke and Laura certainly
helped garner magnificent ratings for daytime, however, mainstream
media first took note of daytime when Time magazine did a story with
Susan Hayes gracing the cover.
Hayes would be the first to admit that daytime, especially Days of Our
Lives, has been very, very good to her.  After all, she met her real-
life husband, Bill Hayes, on Days when they were playing star-crossed
lovers Doug and Julie.
Her mother, Elizabeth Harrower, has served as a dialogue writer on Days
and on The Young and the Restless.  For a time, Hayes appeared on Y&R as
Lauren Fenmore's mother.  When we asked what her plans were, she said in
typical Susan-like humor, "I'll just hone my other skills.  I'm very
good at ironing shirts.  I'll learn to do a better job."
While there's nothing wrong with ironing shirts, Hayes is far too
talented an actress to do anything but act.

I missed Friday's episode due to the storm (no power!).  Can someone
fill me in on what Neil did?  Did Ryan ask him for a reference and
he refused?  What a slime!  I can't stand Neil and his holier-than-thou
attitude towards anyone that he can feel superior to.  I really hope
he gets knocked down a few notches (by Ryan!).  Better yet, maybe
he'll get knocked off the show entirely!

I'm with Susan--we buy and set up our tree over Thanksgiving weekend (the place
 we get ours every year gets 'em on Sunday morning), and take it down
during the day on New Year's Eve.  The theory being that the Christmas season
is finished as a new year comes in.  (That's my own personal theory at least.)
I also was a bit mystified about why it was so "early" to be putting up a tree.

That reminds me though:  Dixie's comment about how Adam's getting his tree
before she and Brian got theirs spoiled her surprise...this and other aspects
of the Dixie/Adam custody battle are certainly drearily true-to-life aren't
they?!  I've known divorcing or divorced couples and this type of trivial
sniping and belittling is all too common.  There really is no logic to it,
after all why shouldn't a kid have fun with *2* Xmas trees?  But of course the
tree has little to do with the fight...

Well, I remember years ago, when she was married to Phil Brent, that
Erica had a hystercal pregnancy.  Lucci was pregnant in real life with,
I believe, her first child, but the writers weren't ready for Erica to
become a mommy.  Erica fixed up the nursery, got fat, then finally
got sent away to Oak Haven for a while (Lucci's maternity leave). 
I can still remember some of the looks on Phil's face when Erica
would gush about what a perfect family they would have.  All he wanted
was a divorce, but the dr's told him he had to stay 'for Erica's sake'.

Classic AMC.  I don't remember how long Lucci was gone, though.
