Hi everybody at rats, especially AMC.  I have been reading this news group
for about 2 months now and have been a "muffin" lurking in the shadows till
now.  I have wanted to post but did not know how till now.  Much thanks to 
those of you who have responded to my mail and help me learn about how to 
operate within news.  I especially want to thank "the lady with the uzi" for 
her helpful information. I look foward to talking with you all about this 
"Tad" person I've learned so much about in the past few weeks, he better be
worth the time it's taken me to sort through the artiles about him :)

So, send me important info about stuff like:

How to make a really neat .sig file
Lists of what all the abbriviations mean  (Does TAN=tangent ???)
       (forgive my spelling, this vi is tough to correct things with)
The best things to put in my KILL file if I'm basicly interested in AMC stuff.

Thanks to you all, especially the updaters :-) LOVE YOU

T.C

There is something weird about this new Christie character, and I
can't quite determine what it is.  Someone (sorry, I don't remember
who!) mentioned that she reminds them of an older Cecile and I
tend to agree with this.  However, I don't see why Frankie can't
sense that Christie is hiding something (i.e. her husband's
illness).

				     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Her head always looks strange :-)  If Jenna is now going to run
around with straight hair (which did not look bad), she needs
BANGS - her forehead is way too big and her head is kind of
pointed (you can see I can't stand Jenna these days!) not to have
some kind of coverage.  Personally, if she had bangs, and cut her
hair similar to Brenda's on 90210, I think she'd look great.

i'm sure they'll use the old scenes with billy clyde, but they
probably wanted some new close up shots of the face.  TAD'll
probably be driving along with some truck driver.  over the
bridge, and "hey, wait a minute, i just had an incredible
feeling of deja vu!  i think i'll go into this little town near
by (PV) and ask some questions.  thanks for the lift from
california bud."

i still haven't figured out why they needed to take out some of
the boards on the bridge, unless it's for stunts, or to recreate
"the fall."

as long as TAD is comming back, i settle for him laying on the
ground coming to as a flash back.  no need to re-shoot.  just
have him get back to PV on december 21st at 13 minutes into the
show.  (first facial shot!)  :) :) :) :)

I really liked it when (shortly after the reading of the will) Tony
told Bobbie that she seemed to think that no one cared about Bobby
the way she does ... He tried to be tactful (and, unfortunately, she
didn't seem to get the point) but it was a good try.

Ryan had no idea Felicia was going to stab him so he couldn't have been 
thinking ahead to the point where someone would be checking out her "story".
I think he must have either wanted her to believe that he was taking off (to
give her a false sense of security, that she was finally rid of him) or (as
someone mentioned in an earlier post) that he was planning to force her to
go with him after breaking into the cabin.  The question still remains--
HOW did he get the jeep started?  I can't believe he dug through the snow
in a raging snowstorm to recover the distributor cap.  And, if he left
the engine running when he broke into the cabin, wouldn't Mac have noticed
and made some comment on it when he got there?

   This has troubled me because I too thought they were brown when she
first came on the show. Then by time this Ned thing started, or shortly
thereafter, they appeared to be a VERY dark blue (which seems to vary
from day to day). My question now becomes, was this a decision that was
made inorder to make her more alluring. Personally I prefer brown eyes.

I don't particularly like the two of them together. I see no sparks flying.
He seems so much taller than her. But if they do fix up Ryan with Jenna,
we all know what is going to happen. Jenna will find out that Carl is her
father and she will have to split up with Ryan (the love of her life at the
time) because she is his sister.

Carl always makes the show SO much better!!

This Week

Carly finds out the whole truth about Nikki, including his role in
Lisanne's death.

Jack meets Jennifer's new producer and realizes what the guy is up
to.

Stella decides to start anew in Arizona, and seals the pit with
Marlena in it before she leaves.  Feeling guilty, she calls Abe on
her way out of town only to be struck by a car before she can
reveal Marlena's whereabouts.

Next Week:

Kimberly is released on bail, and she rushes over to the hospital
to see if she can motivate Roman to come out of her coma.

Jack is tempted to use the manuscript he found in the attic to help
him become the sole provider of his family.

Jennifer has to fight her new producer to stop him from turning her
program into just another sleazy talk show.

After Malcomb quits, Jack asks Jennifer if he can take over as
producer for a day.

Bo orders an autopsy to be done on Lisanne's body, and Vivian
panics.

Lawrence reminds Carly about Nikki's role in Lisanne's death and
asks her to help prevent the autopsy so that Lisanne can be
cremated quickly.

The loan shark visits Carrie's apartment to demand that Austin pay
him five grand.

A homeless person discovers Marlena in the pit, and she begs him to
take the answering machine to the Brady Pub.  The derelict is about

The GH opening titles begin with an ambulance siren and then you see the 
ambulance whiz by the screen with its lights flashing as it comes through 
the opening gate to the hospital.  Then, the GH title appears on the 
screen in front of the hospital.  Unless your ABC affiliate edits the show, 
which I doubt, I find this a very curious thing!

I also think Victor needs to be taken down a peg or two.  I can see where he
would be disillusioned about his precious little girl, but why does he have 
to act like the most pompous butt (substitute appropriate synonym) in the 
world?

Throwing Ryan in jail was totally uncalled for amd, if he knows Victoria as 
well as he claims to, then he would realize how stubborn she is.  I did like 
the scene where Ryan tore up the check, though.  

Nikki will be sympathetic to the kids' plight, if only to keep a 
relationship with her daughter.

Could you believe Ashley, the b*tch?  She goes off on Nikki, but what about 
her history?  Wasn't she the primary reason Nikki and Victor's marriage broke 
up?  Rubbing it in about the drug and alcohol addiction was also uncalled for 
because nikki does regret what it has done to the children.  And, she claims 
be concerned for Victoria!  I would think that Vickie would go to Jack first, 
because at least she remembers what Ashley did to her parents' marriage!

I cant' believe the "adults" (with the exception of Jack and Nikki) are acting
better than the children.  The kids only want to be together, yet Victor is
taking it personally and Ashley is sticking her nose where it doesn't belong.
Nikki is concerned and worried for her daughter and jack just wants her to be 
happy.
