Are any of my posts getting through?!  I thought I'd made it clear that
I'm an exAMCer, and I tried to explain why I got fed up with the show.
The comment about Tad being there for two months and no one's seen
him leads me to believe the show is STILL DOING THE TYPE OF STORYLINE
THAT DROVE ME AWAY FROM THE SHOW IN THE FIRST PLACE.  Sorry to shout,
but I've been hit from all sides for stating that I don't think AMC
has the style of writing to replace SB withdrawals.

That's all, folks!

Hi. This suggestion has been made before, and there are several reasons
why this way is better. So to avoid all the other posts you don't want
to read, you should make a kill file. Here's how (hopefully this
will work on your computer):

while you're in the r.a.t.s. group, hit control k.
This will bring you to a local kill file.
Then add whatever soaps you don't want to read in this manner:

/: *DOOL*/:j
/: *ATWT*/:j

etc.

at the very end, use control x, control c to get out.

Try it, hopefully your system will like it.

Jean, who only watches(ed) SB and nothing else and learned about 
kill files early on.

Razzie replies:
Wayne Roman and Marlena were married February 9, 1983.
Sami and Eric were born Oct. 19, 1984.
Carrie (as played by Andrea Barber) came to Salem in 1982.
I would say she was 6 or 7 (but someone can correct me on that.)
So I think Carrie should be about 10 years older than Sami.  Of course,
that's in real time, not soap time.  As rapid soap opera aging

Elena Nichols was trying to kill Eden.  Her plane didn't crash, she was
supposed to go to the mountains to check out a place for her and Cruz's wedding
or honeymoon or something.  Elena had hired Cain, a recluse from society (I
think he was a recluse because of being so sad over Moo Li's death).  Cain hit
Eden over the head and carried her to his cabin where he held her captive (tied
up and all).  The blow to her head caused her to become paralized from the
waist down.  Eventually, Cain fell in love with Eden and began to treat her
more humanely.  In all probability, Cruz saved her, because that is the way
things always worked.  Eden convinced Cruz that they should feel sorry for Cain
 and he moved to SB.  Cain became a friend of theirs- Elena was less than happy
.  I think that Elena had arraged for it to look like a plane crash or
something because everyone thought Eden was dead.  Cruz had a very hard time
dealing and he an Kelly (they were best friends, she was played by Robin Wright
then) hiked the mountain to officially say good-bye to Eden.  Kelly recited the
poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost to say good-bye.  This was an
incredible scene!!!  THe poem goes like this:
Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
So Eden sank to grief,
And leaf subsides to leaf.
Dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

She recited it because Eden's name was in it.

The reason Elena wanted to kill off all of CC's children is because she was his
child too, which he denied, or at least never knew.  She was vengful and bitter
 that she didn't have all of the advantages that the other Capwells did.  She
started with Eden because Eden was supposedly CC's favorite.

Maybe it is one of those outdoor malls.  Providence, RI had one
like this when I was  teen.  IT basically was the downtown shopping 
area closed to traffic.  They put trees and benches in the street,
so you could walk from store to store outdoors without the threat
of being hit by traffic.   Kathy K. does this still exist?

  I think it'll be Vanessa.  She was oh so understanding of Ed's feelings
while persecuting Lillian.

What would be interesting would be Frank and Ed!  Two men who've lost
the women they love so much finding comfort in one another.  Ah,well
we know this won't happen.

Other picks/guesses:

Blake - now THAT would be surprising!

Holly - as someone said..boring

Lillian - this would be surprising because you wouldn't expect it at
this point.

Ellen, nice soapbox, I agree with you (I am a het female).  Trying
to use all-inclusive writing is a nice idea, and it is yet another
example of why we need a personal pronoun that is unisex.  And I 
also agree with the person who wrote earlier that anyone can recognize
that someone is sexy, good-looking, or plain without having a 
sexual attraction to them.  I can easily recognize which women on 
AMC are attractive.  (Yeah, Lorraine is, but if I were a lesbian or
a het man, I wouldnt go for her, anyway.  Looks like she stepped off 
a magazine page, IMHO, unreal).

As a long-time fan of DOOL- I was more than a little depressed
by the short scene we had for Julie's last.  Before I heard
that she was leaving, I thought they were thinking about bringing
back Doug.  That would be great, hmmm?

Julie is one of the few characters on Days that has ever shown
consistent backbone to the villian of the day-be it Lawrence,
Vector or any of their predecessors.  I find it hard to believe
that the actress could be so hard to get along with-or whatever
other justification they had for letting her go, that is was
possible for the writers to give up a person of her strength.
I raise a glass in toast.

I still can't believe this business with Sammy-do the writer's
think we are total idiots, or what????  But then again, Hope
aged 6 years in 4 months, and I also remember Scott pulling the
same trick.  They must have some super Growth Hormone in Salem.

I missed some weeks a little while back, and I was wondering-
What is the purpose of the company the John Black is working
for/running?  Is it something to do with Isabella?

I miss Eugene and Calliope. Sniff.  This show needs the comic
relief.
