Darn, I don't think I deleted any of the stuff I wanted to...sigh. Oh, well. 
What I wanted to say was Weirdwind was empty for many years while Dimwit was 
living in Europe (I guess after his father died, and while Angel was 
comatose.) When Dimitri first arrived in PV, I remember sone folks saying 
the Weirdwind estate was being open up again.....

NO WAY!!!! As I watched the show where he said he had an uneasy 
feeling and was having "that dream"....I wanted to punch her!!
She must know he is not her son, but because he "helped" her get
her winery to the top, she doesn't want him to know....

Quoting Nick:

Agreed. I also wonder what if anything will happend with Lucy and Jagger.
He's always on to her.

Agreed, but who is Bill to judge anyone? I was just wondering what he was
thinking. I mean does he know about the affair with the Senator, and if
not, he sure is intuitive.

Yes, this is true. I guess everyone has a weakness....I know mine is
pretty blondes <g>. It's just that after the Bill affair, it seemed as if
she was the only respectable woman on that show. The fact that she is
sorta caught in the middle is an interesting plot line, and in the end I
think she will redeem herself and 'do the right thing.' Now what is the
right thing <g>? She said she was going to give the tape to Jenny, and I
applaud her for that....too bad that evil brat for a sister had to steal
the tape.

Oh, Nick, don't be ashamed. Karen is a damn good actress, and her scenes
with Jagger are quite good. I call it "Teen Tension." Anyway, it's going
to be interesting to see how this plays out. Will Karen give in to her
animal instincts and jump Jagger's BONEs? Does she really think that her
and Ears could stay together all the way through med school and then get
married once they are Doctors? I don't think so.

> How many people think that Lucas will grow up to be an axe-murderer? 

He's such a cute little fella. He will definetly be scared for life...anyone

definetly have problems.

Yes, he is always been one of my favs, but I'm completely distressed by
his marriage.

I am sorry and yes, DEEPLY ASHAMED to admit that I CAN NOT fill in the

a bit before my time and I haven't read much about it in magazines. I also
don't know very much about the Stewart history (by history I mean about 
when the show began) or the Lowell history, except that Ellen Stewart's

 I remember Erica gaining a lot of weight when she lost the Disco she had
 opened.  I remember Mona saying that she was so depressed that she was
 eating everything in site.  Susan Lucci must have gotten up to a size 14
 or so at the time.  I can't remember if this was with her first or second
 pregnancy.  They would only shoot her from the waist up but you could
 definitely tell she was gaining weight.

Whoa!!  Wait a minute!  Deep breath, here -> aaaaah.

I have *absolutely nothing* against red hair!
My XSO of over nine years had red hair (and I still miss him).
It's not the *color* it's the *change*.  The unexplained, uncommented
on, change. That's what I mean, anyway. Actually, I love red hair :)

Hey did you guys forget BJ and Warren (maybe you did that on purpose).  I
really like these two actors just not together.  If SB were staying on the

it's gonna be over anyway, I hope they get married and get happy.

I have to disagree here!  I think we are getting some really classic Gina.
There have never been good feelings between her and Sophia and Sophia has 
always used every opportunity to zing Gina.  Remember back to the days when
she used to bitch at CC like this (ah, those were the days).  Speaking of
the olden days, does anyone remember the wedding that Gina and Keith decided
to crash but everything went wrong and they ended up in a mud puddle (who's
wedding was this???  Eden and Cruz???  Trivia question???).  This was some
great stuff.

I'm gonna miss SB, sob, sob, sob!!!!!!!
