Well, this whole Jill thing turned out pretty expectedly. Jill lost 
Victor (not scandalous enough), John found out that Victor was the man 
in Jill's life, and best--Jack's celebration on getting Jill out of 
John's life totally backfired. John felt so sorry for her that of 
course he's going to go back to her.  At the end of the show on 
Friday, Jill and John talked and then at the very end John was back in 
the Jabot boardroom where Jack was waiting for him. Jack started 
putting down Jill and John just gave him this look and the show was 
over. This thing is out of hand.

When I was married, we use to put up our tree right after Thanksgiving.  I
then took it down the day after Christmas.  Once all the presents had been
opened, I found the tree looked a bit sad and I was ready to start getting
the house neat and tidy and ready for the brand New Year.  I wanted to
put up a tree this year, but have just not found the time.  In addition,
my one year old puppy seems to think that everything is a new dog toy and
since she just ate through the cord of my curling iron (thank goodness it
was not plugged in), I decided it best not to put up a tree this year.
Fortunately, she is the cutest thing in the world and I love her very much
(enough to pay $280 to find out she was throwing up because she ate something
that did not agree with her).  Oh well, it is only money.

Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 20:15:56 GMT

Everyone has been speculating that Connor is wimpy James Walsh's daughter, and
GetEven is Edwina's true love, Alex's son, and that explains why she treats
Connor so badly. But I have another theory.....

Perhaps Conner is not even Edwina's daughter!! What if James had an affiar,
either right before or soon after their wedding, and then insisted on raising
the child (connor) that resulted! Edwina would always resent connor for being
a reminder of her husbands infidelity.

As for Evan's parentage, perhaps edwina had an affair with CabotCove out of 
revenge, and thus concieved Evan.

So evan is her son, and connor would be her husbands 'bastard' child. It would
explain alot.

Any theories (or definative proof that I'm wrong...I've seen WhirlyWorld all
of 6 times this semester...i could have missed something that would refute this)

I was just wondering if anyone has found it really irritating
at how sporatic GH is in continuity/reality in its storylines.  I'm not
talking about disappearing characters (a la Connor) which GH is notorious
for.  They lose interest in those characters and fade into the woodwork.
And I'm ignoring the ever popular soapland child-aging syndrome.
I mean, certain things are blatantly off (like Felicia leaving town when out of
jail on bail), or slip by thinking people wouldn't pay attention (like
Ryan's hair color).  And then there are some surprises that the writers
actually remembered/looked up some old details (like when the characters
make references to old characters/things like the 'Webber House', or Lila
finally recognizing Faison as PK Sinclair).  It gets to the point where I
applaud when something like this actually happens.  I cheered when Tracy
smirked and called Marco 'Mr Corelli' yesterday, since the writers must be
looking into Marco's history on OLTL now so that she can dig up dirt on him.
I don't know if it has to do with the way soaps are written, or particular
writers that take time to make sure this stuff syncs up, or what.  I just
wish it would happen more often.  Do other soaps have this problem,
and if so is it as bad as this?  [OLTL's outer-body experiences,
1800 Westerns and mental telepathy stories don't count ;) ]

I'm not complaining - after watching GH for 15 years, I find it amusing to
note these inconsistencies.  It's kinda like finding bloopers in movies ;)

Jeremey and Stacy were pretty chummy on Friday's show.  She's going to teach a
creative writing course so they'll be at AU a lot.  And, sooner or later
she'll find out how Clay duped her (probably when he gets control of the
stock!)

Anyone else wonder why so many intelligent people can't figure that:
    1)  Amount of stock recently bought
    2)  Plus Clay's stock
    3)  Plus Jack's stock controlled by Stacy
    4)  Plus Clay's lack of trustworthiness
    5)  = Clay funny business

Shanna should have figureed this out by now since Clay was trying to talk her
into handling Stacy's estate.  Duh!

There might (or might not) be spoilers.



Interesting episode.  For the first time this season, I felt the show
had some life.  Previously, I thought that the show had been deathly
dull.  Not repulsive, like last year's first shows, but not as crisp
as the last few shows last year felt.

I don't see how they're going to extend this plot with Meg much further.
My guess would be that Mary will end up murdered soon, with Mac standing
over her body with the murder weapon.  Otherwise, I really don't see
how they can drag this out much further, and there just has to be some
payoff to this plot.  A murder might bring out the scandal of the
payment etc., and meanwhile Anne's non-pregnancy would be revealed,
so we could see as a result Greg's return to the company.

With Homefront cancelled (okay - on hiatus), Knots is now the only
prime time soap left on the schedule.  I'd like to see it survive,
but only if it can produce a smaller % of sleep-inducing episodes.
I was very close to giving it up before this show.

One more thing which annoys me is this trend of having Paige end up in
these deep relationships 5 minutes after she meets a man.  It's not
so much the sex as the fact that these guys fall incredibly deeply in love
with her in minutes.  The relationship doesn't develop, it just happens.

First things first: GGG, I have tried to e-mail you a couple of times,
but my messages keep getting bounced back.  What gives?


My Humble Opinions:

I really wish that they would tell Chilly the truth and get it over
with.  She is going to be upset no matter when the event finally
happens, so they might as well get it over with.

MyFavoriteMartian should have whatever kind of therapist's license
she has taken away from her and ripped up into little pieces--very
irresponsible, making out with your patients...  ;-)

I think that I am going to like this Neal Alcott character.  I used
to love the actress's style when she was on GL.  Plus, this character
seems like a kind of "I won't put up with anything" type person.  I
wonder how long before Scott sees the light and realizes that he is
madly in love with her.  ;-P

I am looking forward to Andy and Court'menolonger's wedding.  I know
it is kind of far-fetched, but this is a SOAP OPERA we're talking
about, life isn't supposed to make sense.  

If Hutch gets together with Debbie (does she have a nick?) now that
he saw RoseHand kissing GetEven, I think that I may ralph all over
my tv...Come on, we know that things will work out for H and R
eventually, so why should we have to wait?

I have to get to class now...

I have felt this was the way the writers were going to go ever since
Sheila came on the show and decided she wanted Eric.  We all know
Sheila would not in the least give it a second thought to switch results.
But I would simply HATE IT if they had her switch the lab results;
I actually think I will permanently quit watching B&B if they do it.

I always wondered about this.  I also wondered if Brooke's mother's first-

Married Stephanie, who had trapped him with another man's child, when in

to marry Steven Logan for the sake of her unborn child.
