The only reason I can think of that Nick feels so strongly about Alex
being his natural mother is because, if it were so, the morals and
values he feels are so important (because they were Kip and Marys)
would become meaningless because:

     1.  They lied to him by omission -- never telling him he
	 was adopted

     2.  He knows how Alex's baby(ies) were taken from her and
	 would blame his parents for the obvious pain their
	 actions caused -- thus making the human instead of the
	 "ideal" (which he now considers them)

Also, the whole thing about Eric selling Alex's baby(ies) is so silly.
Typical soap opera.

Hi all - (peels, brothers & everyone)

This is my first post - probably gonna blow it big time but I had to comment
on something-

Onone of last weeks shows (around Weds.) they showed Marlena going to
Roman's apartment - he was not in disguise and answered the door with
a gun - WELL - while he was flipping the gun around like a moron he
ended up pointing it right in Marlena's face and he had his finger on
the TRIGGER - I'm not kidding - I even checked with freeze frame - 
this is so unbelievable!!!!  Seasoned police officer my a**.

And, one more thing.  Does anyone out there raise amaryllis?  Cause
my mom raises them, lots of them, and I've always been amazed at how
beautiful they are *BUT* odorless!  What's all this stuff about the
aroma of amaryllis in the air?  It makes no sense to me.  Does anyone
know if they smell when raised out doors?

Me too! This is a nice bit of confusion. I've missed several shows this week,
so someone please correct me if I'm wrong: Dennis knows Marley is adopting 
some baby; Marley knows Dennis is the father of Olivia's baby but still wants
to adopt without telling anyone where she got the baby; Dennis has decided to
be a Dad. So, Dennis has no idea that the child he wants to raise is the one
Marley wants to raise?! Oh boy!!

I don't know.....how long has it taken to get to the climax of these stories?
Too darned long! After waiting so long on some *really* slim threads (like
Cass as Jenna's father), I lost interest in them. It's exciting when things
finally come to a head on AW, but now I'm afraid that with all these 
revelations in a row, things will get dull and drawn-out again. Still, I watch!

Actually, I think that Spencer is going to finally tell Ryan about Grant--
or so the previews claim. Although, it will be another six months before we
find out whatever strange Harrison secret exists about Ryan. Oh well.

On Monday (4/6) they introduced a new character, a seemingly
homeless woman who spent the night in the journalism classroom,
after a confrontation with Warren in that room.

Now I was sure this was a female person. Then today, they kept
referring to "her" as "he." Mr. Troy something.

I'm convinced this person really is female, and is masquerading
as a male for reasons unknown, and will be exposed in the
future. "He" was really weird about dancing with Lily too, and
seemed awkward around the girl with the instant crush on "him."

I wondered about this too!  I think I'd recognize my own body
(such as it is) on a video!  And if not the body, then the place,
or (a-hem) position.  We didn't get to see the video too well to
tell if it was Dean and Jenna or an edited-in body.  However,
Jenna should have realized where the stripping scenes took place.
But then, has she really looked at the video?  We saw Dean look
at it the other day, and then bust it up but did she?  Did anyone
other than Rick, Lorna, and Dean REALLY get a good hard look at
the tape?

After (I think) Wednesday's episode, there doesn't seem to be much the
"good guys" can do to get Rick.  Hum, how the the high and mighty of
Bay City live with this?

I think there was a change in writers, and I believe the storyline was changed
along with the writers.  I'm still rooting for John as Forrest, and your theory
could probably support it.  I was thinking that if the locket (stolen from the
Alamains) was in the deposit box, then it could mean that Danielle is Romulus
OR it could mean that Danielle was telling the truth to John about the  
deposit box holding evidence as to his identity before John Stevens, and that
the locket is his link to the Alamain family.  The problem with my theory is
that I don't know how to explain how John would have the locket if Lawrence 
also gave it to Carly.

Nope, I made this up, but it's an attractive theory because it
explains why Viv is so hell-bent on keeping Carly and Lawrence apart.
I've seen two reasons posed to explain Viv's behavior:

1) Viv doesn't want any more Alamain heirs to cut into her fortune.
    - How can she hope to keep Larry from ever producing an heir?  
      She doesn't seem to be trying to keep him away from other women,
      just Carly.  Besides, wasn't there a huge dowry, which Carly
      later paid to Lawrence to get him to let Jenn go? (this was 
      before I started watching)

2) Larry and Carly are half brother and sister.  
   - This seems more likely.  Since she tried to kill Carly in the
     hospital, I don't believe Carly is her daughter, which means 
     that Carly's father would have to be the connecting link.

>>Lizard's half sister. This accounts for Viv's opposition to their

>That would make sense.  Then I guess the kid really did die?

I think Viv either persuaded Carly to have an abortion, or she stole
the child and led Carly to believe it died.

I prefer to see what they come up with, actually.  We can all HOPE
that they stun and amaze us with their cleverness!------NOT!
