Good list, Robin!

Also:   Nina thought her mother was dead when Daisy was pretending to be
        Monique and befriended her

        Donna thought her baby (that died in the Chateau Fire) was
        fathered by Palmer but he was really Chuck's son from the night
        they were stuck in a cave in Switzerland!  (Palmer was sterile)

        I am pretty sure Opal told Jenny her father was dead and sure
        enough that awful little Liza Colby came through with the goods 
        on Jenny's dad, Ray Gardner the rapist, in attempt number 302 in 
        prying Jenny and Greg apart!

        Langley "MIA" Wallingford had 2 long lost daughters, Verla
        Grubbs and Hillary 

        More recently, Hayley found out Adam was her father; Julie found
        out Mark Dalton was her father; the world found out Adam was
        Junior's father, Tad was Jamie's father, Travis was every other 
        PV baby's father, and Tom was out in the cold although he tried 
        to father Brooke and Barbara's kids!

I always thought it was more prestigous that she is LAST!  And NO ONE

[stuff about Timmy deserving a picture deleted and also stuff about
 aging the Tim-man to get a teen romance with Bianca going for some 
 summer]

: on the teenagers off of school for the summer)

What on earth makes the writers think teenagers want to see teen
romance?  Yuck!  All that ever did for me was make me wonder why I
wasn't having one of my own!  I much preferred watching the romances of
the characters who were about 5-10 years older than me, and I think it
is still true for me now!  Kinda like - visions of what is to come,
hopefully!
