I knew a while ago that they were going to age them, but to 14? Horrible.
At least we'll never see those horrendous child actors again.  

I hope Stella gets a chance to meet the new kids before she leaves.  That
way she can slam Marlena for taking such horrendous care of the twins that
they went and took overdoses of growth hormone just to get their mom's
attention.

On another relatively unimportant casting note, the woman who was
playing Carrie's boss on the show has reportedly left to go have a
baby.

  I'm pretty sure Alex is the oldest. The order is (I think):

  Alex
  Georgie
  Teddy
  Frankie

  To the person that said Teddy is gorgeous, I agree. I like
  her with Simon. The actress that plays Alex's daughter (the
  younger one I think, unless she has only one kid) - Ashley
  Judd, went to the Univ. Of Ky the same time that I was there.
  I thought she was pretty.

I just have one question about Nadine's little pregnancy scheme.
She sent Bridgette to tell Billy that she was pregnant, then she
came back to the house with baby books and booties, and a prescription
for pre-natal vitamins!  When Billy walked in and found the vitamins
he called Cedars and asked for Lillian.  He asked her about the doctor
who wrote out the prescription. Lillian told him the doctor was a 
gynecologist at Cedats, and congratulations on Nadine's pregnancy.

My question:  HOW THE HELL DID SHE PULL THAT OFF?  How can you trick a
doctor into believing you are pregnant?  Can someone fill me in here?
Did something happen that I missed?  I'd really like to know what happened.

Thanks.

It was not the same actress, and yes it a bad blonde wig, and yes it was 
forshadowing... if you look closely at the "Mindy" in all of Nick's dreams
of late, you will see that it is in fact Eve in a wig!  I'd call that

about Mindy, but he is really dreaming about Eve.

Nah, she can't be past her second trimester.  She might have a really really

Ryan has been arrested.  He is very surprised and is yelling at Victor,
saying this is not the way to handle it.  I thought Victor might have

This is a somewhat tangential comment, but I don't think Dix deserves
to "get a taste of her own medicine" 'cause I don't think Dix and Bri
have done anything wrong.  The fell in love.  Period.  They didn't do 
it to hurt Hayley, it just happened.  Hayley's the one with the problem

  Susan,

  I think you are right on the mark. I think she's being hated
  unfairly too. Unfortunately I missed the "lusty" bar scene so
  I can't comment on it. I used to like Carly early on, but I 
  think the group's brain-washing got to me ;) ( I was/am a lurker
  usually). Anyways what's wrong with some good old-fashioned lust? ;)

   Now I'm confused. "Pissed" is OUR word for drunk! When my brother was in
California last year, the locals meant by "pissed" something like
"annoyed". In Australia, you can't be pissed at someone, you can only be
pissed off (at someone or by someone), with similar meaning but a slightly
angrier mood attached.
