     Oh my God, are you kidding!?!?!  Major barf city!  I'm so glad I
missed this...if I'd seen it y'all'd be treated to yet another lecture
on how bad the show is, all the good people who've been treated like garbage
and fired, culminating in a desire to contact someone in New Zealand's
office of emigration :-)  With all due respect to Ann and any other
Camel-lovers (Ann, you still out there?  You've been awful quiet lately...
snowed under?) there has got to be something going on with this woman.
And you may say that it will make her look bad if she whines about sexual
harassment, but as I recall before she came along DOOL was known for having
the nicest, most laid back backstage in soap-dom, but thanks to the way
she's been treated that's no longer true.  Going along with this could prove
even more damaging to her career in the long run.  Would you want to be 
known as the woman who destroyed the backstage peace at Days and as the 
one whose stories helped bring the series down?

     And just on a side note, I picked up SOU in the grocery.  There were
2 letters about DOOL and both were negative.  One was about how unrealistic
Carly is, and how showing her wanting Lizard is showing her to be neurotic,
manipulative and unstable, and Bo should dump her (or something to that effect).
The other was about how bad the stories have been lately and how they should've
brought back Stephen and MaryBeth.  So we are not alone...hallelujiah!

     I read something on this in a rag.  They said that she'd always had 
 a split personality and that Lacey had been the hooker, not Saint Kim.  I
was pissed.  I figured it was just one of those things they wouldn't dare
do, ya know?  I mean, Kim remembers her past quite well.  And she's come
to grips with it.  And OldKim, even when she was a hooker, was nothing like
Lacey.  By doing this, they are literally undoing about 7 or more years of
character development.  Bleah!
