Gee, this really makes sense.  I wonder if between that and the
part she had as Kim is what helped her to go off again.

Hey, come on now, does that sound like the days of present?  Nah,
I didn't think so.  If something makes sense, let's not do it seems
to be their current motto.

  And this was in the TV guide huh?  Well, serves 'em right!
  Maybe we won't be the only ones filling their mailboxes with
  letters, their fax machines with faxes, etc.

  Yeah, witty and beautiful.  Sounds like TV guide should be doing
  the writing there at DOOL.  Passe' my A**!

Ya know, we'll have to make that bayview pass available to everyone
if they bring in even more teens.  Oh, never mind....if that happens,
there won't be any viewers at all left.  We'll have to pay people to
watch the tapes just to give us updates.  Not that we'll really want
to hear any updates.  Once a week someone'll slip though and remember
how good it used to be and tape and view it.  Only to be sick and not
be at work the next day.  They'll be terminated from their job from
taking too much time off and will have to sue Corday.  He'll say he had
nothing to do with it and then we'll all have to write letters, send
faxes (until they turn the machine off), etc. and eventually the person
who got violently ill and lost their job wins a big suit from Corday
and company and lives happily ever after and never watches another
day as long as Carly is on.  In the meantime Corday finally gets the
hint and dismisses her and brings back all of the good players that
had to leave when Carlips came on the show because she had such good
promise and was such a wonderful actress and the show gets going once
again on the right track and everyone is pleased but the person who
got violently ill and lost their job in the first place.  However,
all of us here on the net say way before it even happens "Thank You"
Ok, so it's only a dream...........

I thought she was quite pregnant right now.  How soon in advance
do they tape these shows?
