Okay with the return of Kristian Alfonso I think
that it is time for a poll. So who do you folks
think would be a great match for Hope (or whoever
her character turns out to be)?

Possibilities:

1. Bo
2. Philip
3. Austin (sheeeeee right)
4. John
5. Lizard
6. Ivan
7. Dave
8. Marcus

9. Other


Choose just one....and please included your name and
email address.

Okay MAIL me your responses PLEASE....it makes it 
much easier for me to keep track that way. The
Poll will last a few weeks to take into account
the holiday season.

Yes, I agree that Halo has acted well in this situation.  I liked the
scene today with Charlie.  She really has been hurt by all this, but
when push came to shove, she tried to be fair to Brian and Dixie.  I
really hate what Adam is doing to Adam, Jr., but don't think people 
should expect Haley to come rushing to Dixie's rescue either.

I really hope that Tad and Dixie stay apart as well.  I know Dixie has

Has anyone else noticed that the picture type on the show has
been weird in parts lately?  It's like the way it was back on
"One Stormy Night", which I think we decided was due to video-
taping rather than filming.   I noticed this yesterday, beginning
with the scenes where Kim and Phillip were talking in the pub.
Not the seated scene where they talked about telling the truth,
the one where they were standing and getting ready to leave.  

I also noticed this on Monday when Lawrence realized Nikki was gone
and he started charging around looking for him at the mansion.  Is
it just my TV/ VCR/ VHS tape?

           Open the flue in the fireplace so Santa can get down

           AND MOST IMPORTANT:  Don't drink and drive.  I want you

Okay, the song "Fascination" was used in the movie "Love in the Afternoon" (from
the 50s); the movie starred Gary Cooper, Audrey Hepburn, and Maurice Chevalier.
The movie was about the Cooper character, a rich American, who was a well-know
romeo of married women. Chevalier played the private detective who made a living
spying on adulterous women. Hepburn played Chevalier's daughter, who romaticized
over all Chevalier's cases. Anyone, Chevalier was hired by a woman's husband who
had reason--rightly so--to believe she was having an affair. Hepburn gets wind
of this somehow goes to the hotel to warn Cooper--whom she had yet to meet.
Anyway, which she does. Anyway, they get involved, and they both fall for
each other, but Hepburn (who is much younger) feigns being married or at least
being as worldly as Cooper. The song "Fascination" is a major part of the 
story, for Cooper and his women (later Hepburn) has their "meetings" in the
afternoon, and Cooper always carries around a band of Gypsie Muscians, who
on cue, play the song "Fascination." Though of course with Cooper and
Hepburn, since of course they do actually fall in love, the song is much
more sentimental and romantic.

However, I am not sure, but I do believe that the actual song may have
an older history, that it might be some "traditional" Hungarian (???)
song.

Welcome!  I've been hooked for a year and a half and no matter how many

I have read several times that soaps film episodes about two weeks before
they are shown.  You don't want to leave too much to chance by shooting

I just had to unlurk for a minute to add my story to this.  My
husband never watches the soaps, and hasn't the foggiest notion
of who any of the characters are.  So imagine my surprise when,
upon my mentioning the excitement over the return of a beloved
soap character, he said "Oh yeah, his name's Tad or something,
right?"  I was flabbergasted!!!  My husband is an MD, and apparently
between the patients watching AMC in the wards, and the Nurses
and staff buzzing about it, he couldn't help but pick up on the
news!  Tadomania is everywhere!

Am I the only one out there who LIKES the new Jack?  The old Jack was such
a sneaky as**ole who didn't care a fig about anyone.  The new Jack is 
compassionate, warm, giving, kind, caring *sigh* , handsome 
[Terry Lester is NOT handsome under any circumstance]  but still 
has a slight sneaky edge to him when you see him interacting with 
Brad and Jill.  He also doesn't use women anymore like he did 
Patty, Diane, etc.  The new Jack has learned the meaning of the 
word committment.  It seems to me as if they just softened out his 
rough edges while still maintaining his sneaky side too.
This is a character one can root for which the old Jack was NOT.

A number of people have mentioned that they don't want Tad and Dixie
to get back together again.  At first, I wavered between wanting
Tad to be paired with Brooke or with Dixie.  I think I've made up
my mind now... If he's going to be matched up with anybody soon
I'd like it to be Dixie.  It was so much fun to watch the two of them 
together, and I swear Dixie was smarter when she was with Tad. :-)
Does anyone else remember the pure joy they had with one another?

OTOH, Brooke seems to me to be strongest and smartest when she's
single.  

As far as Brainless is concerned, I don't feel that he's done
anything terrible by getting together with Dixie, but I don't
think it was a very smart move, either.  I'm not overly-enamored
with the character, so I'm not going to cry if Dixie dumps him
for Tad. :-) :-)

Just a humble opinion from a Dixie/Tad fan,

During one of Susan Lucci's pregnancies, the storyline was (when she
was married to Tom) they were having troubles because of his
finding her birth control pills (she, of course, had been lying to
him).  Every time you saw her, she was either sitting behind a desk or
carry an extremely large purse.

I not an expert, but I don't think she's ever been gone for any length
of time.  I think even when she was committed (when she was married to
Phil Brent (?), she wasn't gone for very long -- an extended vacation
at best (I could be wrong on this).  I saw her on a talk show YEARS
ago and her comments about leaving AMC were something like "Why should
I leave when I'm one of the main characters?"

I can NOT stand that wench that they replaced the old Natalie with--you

housefire thing.  She's terrible!  I haven't seen the show in a couple of
weeks, and I'm almost afraid to turn it on now for fear I'll see her on
there!  Every time I see her, I just want to throw a brick at the tv.  The
old Natalie was a seasoned veteran of the show.  She knew its ins and outs
and knew how to play her part effectively.  I even liked her as the crazy
sister.  Does anybody know why she left?  Did she get a better offer, or
did ABC give her the boot?  Is it permanent, or only temporary?  The new
natalie is so terrible and so un-Natalie, that I refuse to even capitalize
the new natilie's name.  She is just a terrible actress and a terrible
natalie.  She might be good at another part, but not the one she's in.

There, I got that out of my system.  Thank God my computer offered me

Actually, he probably wouldn't clean it up at all, and that would be even

That's the opinion of most of us.  Anne Hecht (sp?) was the prior actress.
She had that certain something which was quite convincing both as the
subdued Marley and the outrageous Vicky.  The girl now is very pretty,
but just doesn't have that same ... spunk for Vickey and unsureness
