Nix on the "holding out."  From her days as the femme fatale "Gabrielle
[the crying machine] Medina" on OLTL, I've been waiting for this moment.  
On OLTL, she went from sympathetic lost waif to scheming she-wolf (sometimes
in the same scene), and was wonderful!  And from the scenes in the elevator
with Michelle, to the confrontation with Henry last week, this should truly
rank her with some real soap queens (take THAT Susan Lucci!).  And when she
was standing on the corner, looking at the pendant, well, it was captivating.

True.  I think she'll be in a car accident either on the way to the Towers,
or on the way to Cedars to confront Lillian.  Either way, I think this is
our last week with Ms. Parker, and I'll miss her.  And if Nadine keeps
Bridget from going to the funeral, then I'll just scream.  So we lose Mo and
get a new Mindy in the same week.  BIG BUMMER.

New Hart?  Oh, please!  Perhaps in time for Spinner and Dylan's wedding
(ugh, I just made myself ill with the thought of this)?  But the thought
of a Thorpe/Reardon (Bauer) custody battle is just too juicy for me to stand 
(guess which former DA/senator wannabe will probably be Bridget's attorney!), 
so I'll just have to stop thinking about it.  It's the only way I can get
through those dreadful Nadine scenes.  I say Billy and Vanessa back together,
oh, let's say, the Bauer Barbeque on July 4th?

Who, wuv-sick, puppy-dog-eyed-whenevr-she-walks-into-a-room, Frank, excuse me, 
"Frrraunkeeee"?  After she told him on Christmas Eve that she still loved him, 
I think he would take her back in any case.  Stavros was right in telling her
to stay away from Frank.  Yawn.

Oh, BTW, since SB is slowly dying, anyone hoping for the return of Reva?

Excuse me, does anyone have the number for Barf-Bags-R-Us?

Duh.   Gotta get the ring out of the drain first.

Double duh.

Or a world famous fashion designer, look for her stuff on CNN's "Style with
Elsa Klench."  Madonna wears "Designs by Melinda" in her next video.

How much land if left in Springfield, anyway?
Sighting:  Frances Foster (Vera) in MALCOLM X.

Me neither.  I think we'll get our new Alex right before the ultimate
destruction of Spaulding.  And how come the board of directors hasn't
reamed out AM for the problems with the drug division?

>GE> Nick learns Roger helped Mindy escape from Springfield

>[...calling Mindy's blowing Dodge an "escape" is stretching it, IMO.]

Ah, but now we know who she was talking to in the train station right before
she left.

This is just totally unfathomable to me.  Save for Kay (oh, what's her name,
you know, Corbin Bernsen's mom), and Jess Walton, the acting on this show
is just dreadful.  And just how long can we drag out this Michael/Cricket
thing anyway?   Yuk.

Trevor's out of the hole, Natalie's blind, Natalie's not blind, Erica's in the

I don't get this either.

> 5 "As the World Turns"
Now, I like ATWT, it's pretty coherent (and besides, it's got our favorite
gal-pal India [Mary Kay Adams] and Sonni's boy-pal Will Jeffries [Joe Breen]). 
But can someone explain to me how all these other people are related to Emma 
and/or Lucinda?  Ya need a scorecard!
