This appeared in Electronic Media in a column called the insider by Wayne
Walley...The article is dated December 14...

"Santa Barbara could be revived in syndication:  New World Entertainment is
considering a syndication revival of Santa Barbara, the canceled NBC soap
opera.  "We think that it could be a project that could be done for prime     
time," says Jim McNamara, president and chief executive officer of New World.
He compared the potential of the show to the syndication success of 'Baywatch",
another cancelled NBC series.  New World last week also talked to Genesis
Entertainment about distributing the project, but Genesis is not expected to
become the syndicator because the costs of bringing Santa Barbara back are 
said to be prohibitive."

Can whoever had a source at SB ask if there's anything new happening?  I'm
not ready to be SB-less!!!

Hello out there - two days in a row I get to post,
I can't believe it.

Kim Long - thanks for answering those Y&R questions.

John and Jill need to just do it or leave it alone!

Dru picking Jill as a mentor doesn't make sense
at all!  That's like saying Dru and Olivia have a lot in common!

And I can just imagine how sickening Olivia has been with
the Godparent situation.  How awful of her; Nate should have put
her out for a few days.

Did any of you catch Dru in Distinguished Gentleman, Eddie Murphy's
latest movie?  She was good - that's our Dru.

A few weeks ago, someone posted a lengthy post regarding things
on Y&R that makes him sick, or something like that.  IT WAS SO
FUNNY!!!!

And lastly - when are they going to take Paul's mother off of
the show???   The ONE episode I caught - had to have her in
several scenes butting into Paul's business.  I thought I would
attack the tv screen but somehow I didn't.  With so many people
out of work - why does SHE have to have a job????!!

Have a happy and healthy one everyone!!


P.S. - please let's not ask about Leanna Love again.  Doing so may
cause someone to get a bright idea and bring her back
to the show.   Do you know what that might do to me??  I can't even
imagine...

Now, to your question...While it's true that Brooke bore Tad a son,

Hi Quincy,
I kept meaning to post, I thought it was a great letter!  My only
comment (off the top of my head, I'll have to go back and look at my
hard copy) was that you might want to change award winning to
4 time Emmy nominated actress.  She also won the soapie the year it
was invented and she's won lots of Daytime TV Awards.  And she's
still, right now, today, in the top ten list of favorite actresses
as listed in Daytime TV magazine.  (Let me know if you'd like the list
of her soapie wins.)

I liked the letter.  I think you should mail a copy to Susan Lee,
Ken Corday, Tom Lee, Jim Reilly and Warren Littlefield (head of NBC)
and I think you should also send copies to the major soap publications!

All right, Quince, let's go!!!  Spud, Banana, Guava, Lemon and

Yes!!  I thought they should have put him in the photo album.  Then show

he rate a page in the album? :)  Maybe Susan Lucci has exclusive rights

Hi everyone.  Hope we all have Merry Christmases, Chanukahs
and Happy New Years.

Is it me, or does this year not really seem like Christmas?
Did the Horton's put up the tree yet?  Has anyone done any
christmas shopping?  What about wrapping gifts?  I wish
'errs would stop the focus on Bo and Carly and focus on
Christmas.  I am sick of Carly and that IwillgetBoback look.
And Larry's look of worry is also getting right up my nose.
It's Abbey and Brady's first Christmas, John's first Christmas
without Isabella, Marlena's been spooked.  There is so much
material that is not being used it's ridiculous.  I would
rather watch John mope around than Carly.

Could it be that Jo's gonna get a story?  I think Jack and jo
work very well with each other.  I think it would be nice is
Jack called her mom on a regular basis.  The part where he
said he'd owe her was cute.

I have a question too.  Jenn said that Jack swings Lil Abbey
around and is really close to her.  SO WHY CAN'T WE SEE THAT???
I for one would love to see Jack act like that.  The show
John's closeness to Brady so why not?  Speaking of John, where
the hell has he been?!?

Another thing, the reason Jack and Jenn are on so much is because
it supports Carly and gives Jenn a chance to lecture Jack about
lying.  That's why they may seem boring to some.  I for one will
take anything I can get when it comes to my fave man, Jack.  We
don't see to many Jack and Jenn scenes by themselves having
meaningful conversations.  Nope, Jenn's too busy talking about
'poor Carly'.

Classic Carrie is so MUCH MUCH MUCH better than Middledork could
ever wish for.  She doesn't know why they let her go.  Could it
be, just a guess here, SHE SUCKED!!!!!!  hee hee............

Interesting thing...I noticed on Thursday that Junior did dutifully put on his
coat and zip up (in fact, I remember remarking that it was one of the few
times I have seen a soap character exit a building before putting on his/her
coat), yet during the replay of the scene on Friday, Junior took his coat off
the doorknob, wlaked to the door, and opened it, and left the house while
slipping into the coat.

Yeah, Jack was too soft about who he was willing to call as a witness.
Adam subpoenaed the whole freaking town, including Dixie's boyfriend,
but Jack didn't bother making anybody testify!  He should have had
Stuart and Hayley up there on the stand.  Also, Jack should have
insisted that some court appointed child psychologist analyze Junior and
have her testify as to who he should live with!  You'd think Jack was in
the back of the courtroom sleeping or fantasizing about Erica during the
whole Bianca custody case!!  

Of course, part of this shoddy performance on Jack's part is probably
related to the character change the writer's seem to be putting him
through - from stuff I've read in SOD it sounds like they are anxious to
have Jack become bitter about nice guys always finishing last.  We
already saw him beating himself up over being in Hungary helping
Angelique and Edmund when he should have been back in PV helping Dix
prepare a case.  Damn right!  Of course, the case went to trial in
record time - technically the day after Jack & Co. returned from
Budapest.

I found this in the South China Morning Post dated December 17, 1992...
Apparently the author does not appreciate fine soap opera...I swear this
is what is written...I had to chuckle at his obvious disdain for our
stars!

Soap fever in Delhi:  Strange happenings over at STAR Plus - Lucky channel
presenter John Moorehead is in Los Angeles, showing two even luckier viewers
around the set of the cheap and tacky soap opera Santa Barbara(it has its own
set?).

Apparently, Santa Awful has taken off in India in a big way and STAR execs were
astounded first by the show's soaring ratings, and second by the number of 
people who actually entered the competition to visit the set of the daytime
soap.  

Now, to placate the clamoring hordes, STAR has launched a second "Meet the
Capwells" competition(the Capwells are the central family of the show, with
acting abilities comparable to the cast of The Thunderbirds).

And the station is flying four cast members to New Delhi - the alleged actors
who play CC, Mason, Gina, and Julia Capwell - and the 1500 lucky viewers will
be able to meet them(500 winners bringing two guests each to an "extravagent"
party at the Taj Palace in February).

This is actually good news, readers.  The Capwells are not coming to the 
territory, so you will not have to read about them in Keeping Posted.  
Discriminating viewers in Hongkong have given the never-ending soap the
thumbs-down apparently.


Isn't this a hoot???? alleged actors...Santa Awful...cheap and tacky...I wonder
what's happening on the show in New Delhi...maybe they're in the middle of
the bad plots that hit about two years into the show(when the Dobsons left or
some such crisis)...

Happy Holidays!

I saw this on Prodigy Gossip today and was gonna post it.  ;-)  But since
Laura already did, i just wanted to add that it was also stated that Bianca
"will be more grown up then she has been to reflect the actress who is 
playing her."  But it wasn't stated how old she will be though I remember 
reading somewhere that she will be 10 years old.

I saw a movie a few years back, called "Summer of my German Soldier"

It was such a beautiful movie. I would like to see it again or purchase

Speaking of music boxes, I went out looking for one for my

couldn't find any with a song I liked so I had to get one
'put' in.  The box is really tiny (about 6x3") and has about
2x2" of space in it after the music thingy is put in.   I
spent seventy five bucks on it.  It's one of those Italian
ones that's really shiny.  I was more than just a little
annoyed when they didn't have any of the songs I wanted.
They only had about thirty to choose from.  My question is,
can you get music boxes with music of your choice?  My cousin
would like to get one for his wife with their wedding song
it it, but can't find the song.  I'd like to get one too,
but the one I like was a whopping $300.00, that's a little more
than I can afford on that kind of luxury.
