Well, maybe not, Pat.  Let's see, for one thing when Brian slept with An Li,
they were married (loveless or not...).  Hayley and Brian I won't get into, but
Dixie has *in the past* been pretty sanctimonious about sex out-of-wedlock,
i.e., remember that earnest talk she once had with Melanie before she married
Tad about how she was going to wait, how much she regretted her affair with
Adam, etc.  Oh, and that's another issue: she was quite instrumental in
breaking up Adam and Brooke's marriage.  However, she gave Brooke sh*t for a
very long time because Tad slept with Brooke after  Dixie had DIVORCED him.  
Then  after everything blew up with Craig and Gloria Dixie was ever-so-nobly 
wronged.

Anyway, Dixie's moral compass seems to veer about quite a lot!

The way that this agent McCabe is acting with Sawyer is really annoying me.
Jodie said it very well. What Frank has done is an abomination. He was a
child sexual molester, he kidnaped and traumatized BJ, he locked Cruz
and Jodie in a slaughter house to die, he shot Cruz, he deceived a family
for years and so on and so on. This creep McCabe doesn't see any of this.
He is obsessed with inditing Sawyer. All the evidence against Sawyer
is circumstantial. When he fought with Frank, he was holding the gun
when it went off, thus leaving the fingerprints and the residue. Why
is Sawyer telling everything in piece part? I don't think this McCabe is
being objective. We will probably find out that he has a grudge against
the Walker family. His father was probably a drug pusher and Reese shot
him during the arrest. It doesn't make sense for Sawyer to be covering
up for his sister. She has every reason in the world to shoot him. By
the way, how could you not see a gun shot wound, even if it is under
the arm pit. Also leaving BJ alone in the hotel room when Frank was still
on the loose and BJ talking a shower doesn't make any sense. I hope the
writers don't let us down with this story the way the did with the
haunted house story. I hope this time they will make all the pieces
fit together.

I thought that CC letting Lionel adopt his son was completely out of
character for CC. The feud between the two families has been going on
for years. Lionel had an affair with his wife a got her pregnant which
eventually caused Eden to go crazy and so on. I found it very hard to
believe that CC would do this since he hated Lionel so much.

I'll shut up now,
John

I was trying to post in response to the Freddie Mercury comment about Bo.  I've
been on vacation and trying to get caught up.

But YES!!!  I did notice the resemblance.  Maybe Freddie's group should contack
RKK and see if he's interested in joining up (Can he sing??).  That would help
clear DROOL of Coitus and Boink (You know, I used to be offended by those
terms, but watching three weeks of DOOL in a week or so really showed me why
these are appropriate names for those two.

Anyway, while I'm here (unfortunately at work without my notes), did anyone
notice when Kim and Phillip were planning to introduce him to her family he
said "I can't wait?"  Instead of "caan't" like everyone else in Salem, he said
"caunt" (rhymes with haunt).  Just wondered if anyone else caught it.  I backed
it up and listened to it again.  Does anyone know where Phillip's actor person
is from???

Also, Kim made a point of telling her parents that she wanted ALL the Bradys
there when she spilled her news.  So she got Mom and Dad Brady and Izzy.  This
is the ENTIRE family?  One for the writers (again!).

I'll post again when I get home and get my notes.

LONG LIVE FREDDIE MERCURY!! (aka Bo Brady)  Maybe they could make this part of
the script--someone reports a Freddie sighting and it becomes as big as
Elvis!!!  Writers, please take note.

Recall TV Detective Rule #1:  the angle of entry of the bullet into
the body really means nothing but only confounds the number of suspects.
I.e., we're to think our mysterious shooter was shorter than where Frank
was sitting.  And who's the shortest one out there?  BUT.... the taller
suspects could have shot Frank while on his/her knees.  Oooh, the
suspense.  Sorry...

I've been away for the week, so last night watched 4 shows in a row.
It's strange how repetitive it seems this way--so much badgering Sawyer,
for example.  Got the say the storyline I liked most was CC giving up
Channing.  "CC" is a good actor and pretty funny in his own right.

So how about Ty and Lily getting together?  They could have some
chemistry there.

And I agree, this new toad Conner is grating, smug, arrogant, and just
perfect to be put in his place by... Angela.  Yes, let him fall for
her and let her straighten him out after using him a bit, of course.

I hate Lisa and that whole stupid storyline--gee, it's such a new one,
too.  To make this one interesting, Lily and Rafe should just act like
a couple--kiss in front of Lisa, hang out together at the apartment.
I mean, what's to lose?  MAKE LISA SUFFER, you doofs.

How about Julia giving it to Angela! I thought that was a good scene. Two
strong women sapping each other. Julia told Angela that she had no regard
for the welfare of other people and called her selfish and dangerous.
Angela quickly snapped back by telling Julia to get a life. These two 
actresses work well with each other. There has always been friction
between the two of them since David was interested in Julia. They should 
use them together more often.

I thought the scenes with Ted, Lilly and Angela were great and very funny.
I got a kick with Lily's smirk on her face, putting the pillow between
Ted's legs and when she came out with the chain saw. Ted was screaming
so much that I wondered what he feared would be cut :-) He looked great
in Angela's robe, a perfect fit. I loved his excitement when he tricked
Angela and handcuffed her to the bed. He should know better. I'm
sure Angela will make him pay. Angela was a knockout in that red dress.

The scene with Warren and Jodie was very touching. Warren told Jodie that he 
loved BJ as a woman and not as a friend. Jodie told him that this could
destroy BJ - powerful stuff. Kim Zimmer is such a great actress. No wonder
she won so many awards.

Date: 19 Aug 92 15:24:07 GMT
Article-I.D.: XX.XX.8301.21414.714237841

Dru posed nude with no gun to her head, it gets published, embarrasses Jabot
Cosmetics, and John Abbott sees no other alternative but to fire her (some-
what nicely, but that's John).  Neil is pissed as Hell, and calls off their
engagement (for now, anyway).  She goes to Olivia for some support (how low
has she sunk to seek this from her "sister dearest?), doesn't get it, then
spits up again about how Liv was the "favored" child, and bolts from her
office.

This story doesn't cut it with me, for these reasons:

1.  Dru was introduced as a streetwise girl.  She ran away from home, and had
to learn SOMETHING to survive on the streets as long as she did.

2.  This isn't the first time she's made a dumb move.  When she almost got
roped into that porno flick mess, Cricket, Nina, Danny AND Neil helped bail
her out of that.  Then she managed to secure this high-profile modeling job
(never mind she was a young, inexperienced BLACK girl) which she has now
subsequently screwed up royally by agreeing to pose nude.  Dru thought it
would help give herself and Jabot some exposure (bad choice of words, I know),
plus impress Neil.  What self-respecting man wants to see his fiancee's nude
body displayed for anyone to see?  Dru didn't think about that, either.

3.  As to this claim of estrangement from her family, it hasn't been addressed
to my satisfaction, anyway.  When Dru FIRST hit town, she bitched to Mamie as
to how Mom and Dad doted on and favored Olivia over her, treating her like she
was "barely alive," which is why she ran away from home.  Remember when her
parents FIRST showed up in Genoa City?  I was expecting a big showdown, a
chance to vent her anger and viewpoint.  What happened?  NOTHING!!!  But, she
JUST WILL PERSIST in resenting Olivia.  On this point, Dru has never made much
sense.

Dru purposely and willingly cut off her nose to spite her face without thinking
of the possible consequences.  The porn flick fiasco was kind of excusable, be-
cause she believed it be legit.  But the "Sensuality" stuff - she walked in
with her eyes wide open.  For that much, she deserves to lose per position at
Jabot.
