Re: Robert's Leaving -- I am surprised by ABC's decision, if it is ABC's
decision.  It might well be the decision of the production company Lechowitz
and Lathem and Roundele Productions.  The idea that they are "cost" cutting
strikes me as hollow, though.  Perhaps there are personal problems.  After all
they could have cut others.  It is tough to take that they "had" to let go
the young AA male -- I wonder if they didn't decide that they couldn't figure
out what to do with him.  Afterall, Abe and Gloria'a lives are intertwined
with the rest of the cast (especially the Sloans) and their resturant could
become a gathering place.  But the only way to give Robert some conflict is
through romance and they seem determined not to bring in another African
American woman.

Robert & Linda -- I had hopes for this idea during last season.  It seems like
an interesting solution -- providing opportunities for both characters.  After
all Robert is Black and Protestant Linda White and Catholic.  And Anne and
Gloria would be hard pressed to be judgemental/hostile, but it would be
difficult for them. It would have offered the potential conflicts over the
workplace -- both Unionmen after all.  And it would offer Linda something to do
 with her righteous anger now that the union is safely settled at Sloan
 enterprises.

Linda -- Am I the only one getting tired of seeing her answer the phone and
pass along information.  I did miss the beginning of last week's episode so
maybe she was more active, but... Can't Linda get a story of her own please.
Its a waste as it stands lately.

Judy & Mike -- GO FOR IT!

Gina & Charlie -- It will be interesting to see what Ruth has to say about Gina
and therefore Emma hanging around with that unsavory orphan Irish boy.

Caroline -- Do you think they are trying to convince us she really wants
Charlie back?  I thought they might actually have Charlie succoumb to her tempt
ations and have her Claim to be pregnant (kind of guess who the real father is)
Isn't it about time the travelling salesman came back through River Run?

Ruperts -- Will they ever serve chickenfried steak?

I agree.  This had to be the most idiotic "murder/accident" ever.

I suppose it's going to be Phillip who discovers that Kim was at the scene of
the crime.  Greg's spoilers said Phillip is going to want to make a movie of
this event.  That means he'll want to talk to the police about it.  I assume
he'll see the necklace that was found at the scene and recognize that
oh-so-distinctive clasp.

Yeah, you're right, but their relationship was over before the summer
was over when Kevin found out that Stephanie had slept with Jason (is
there a nasty pattern developing here?).

And Kevin is NOT in law school.  He's still in college, and so is
Rachel.  She's in the PRE-LAW program at Llanview U.

|> I am not familiar with how alt.groups are created.

I actually do have some experience at this.  I sponsored the creation of the
rec.sport.volleyball newsgroup last year.  It is a fairly involved process
requiring posts to news.group in two stages:  RFD (request for discussion)
which lasts a prescribed number of weeks and then a CFV (call for votes)
which lasts a certain number of weeks.  The person sponsoring the proposal must
keep all of the votes, discarding invalid ones, and repeatedly remind people
to vote without spilling the beans or influencing the vote.  At the end of
the vote, the outcome is broadcast and the group passes only if it meets the
network's requirements for passage.

It is rather tedious, and wasn't all that difficult for the volleyball
newsgroup, but I don't think there are as many derogatory opinions about
volleyball.  Remember that blithering idiot of an a**hole who started a
three-month long "soaps suck and so do the people who watch them" war in our
newsgroup?  We finally got him annihilated him, but I really don't relish
our newsgroup being in the spotlight like that with people making harsh
judgments and pronunciations about a) soaps and b) those of us that watch
them.

KILL files are really intended for the purpose of sorting through the news.
As long as everyone is observing our self-enforced rules for the Subject:
line, I think (and this is my own opinion - not that of my company's or
anyone else I know) everything works fairly easily.

Well so, who do you think she'll pair up with?  I think it
will be Stuart.  I think Adam will be putting the moves on
Glo and Stu will be left alone a lot.  Arlene will, of course,
stay with Tink at Chez Chandler.  Stuart will be over at the
main house looking for Adam to get advice on Glo but Adam
will be out stealing Stu's girl.  Stuart will commiserate
with Arlene and they will get friendly.  Eventually, everyone
will be just one big, happy family.  Hayley will have her
mother & father practically living together, Adam "might"
eventually get Glo to like him and Stuart will forgive Adam
because he will be nuts over Arlene.  What do you think?

Well, I've gotta stick in my 2 cents worth now! Excuse me a moment while
I step into my asbestos jumpsuit. (pull, squirm,zippppppp!) Now, here
goes:
A lot of y'all seem to feel that this mess with Haley is all Brian's
and/or Dixie's fault. There seems to be a few things that have been
forgotten. First of all, Haley dumped Brian, not vice versa. He tried to
get her back but she was having none of it. When did she decide she
wanted Brian back? When she heard he was seeing someone else. God forbid
he could live without her! The she starts manipulating circumstances to
be near Brian. Finally she tells he flat out she wants him back. He did
not say "yes, I'm coming back to you." He said he had to think about it.
It is not his fault that Haley decided that he couldn't live without her
& jumped the gun. Granted, Dixie was kind of a hard blow. But Dixie did
try to keep Haley from discussing her lovelife with her, and pushy Haley
just kept barrelling on. Why didn't Dixie say something to her up front?
Well, first of all, she didn't want to hurt Haley. Secondly, it was not
really Dixie's place to have to tell Haley anything. It was an awkward
situation, and I don't know if I could have done better with Haley being
as pushy & persitent as she was.
   Even if you want Haley & Brian together, I think you have to admit
Haley was largely at fault. As for her falling off the wagon, that is
her *own* responsiblity, no matter what happens to her. You can't blame
others for your actions, you can *always* make a different choice.
Really shitty things happen to alot of people who don't make bad
choices. Haley's actions are her own choice, no matter how sorry we feel
for her.

Whew! Sorry this is so long...I'll take off the suit later (like in a
week or so :) ).

I like it, too.  Then they can do a whole storyline about All Jerk (love

straighten up, go to college, and fight with Ned over chairmanship of

Hi Phyllis, welcome! I don't think Erica is pregnant and here's my reason:
They actually "got rid" of Bianca so Erica could have the limelight (at least
this is what I heard) so why would they give her another child to take away
the limelight from her (unless she loses it?). Any ideas?

Angelique I could see because 1) when Dim finally makes up his mind he
wants Erica, Angelique will announce she is pregnant...2) I can see
a storyline for Angelique being pregnant since she was forewarned not to
get pregnant right now. Isn't that a soap rule No. 50? :-) Ok I'm 
just guessing, but that's what makes it fun, right? :-)
