*Hmmm...well...I'm glad you like the way I think and that you can admit
that I'm right about the Lombard clan...I usually am right, BTW, just 
ask Timmy.  :)  However (!), no way in the world is Vern ever gonna
make it onto my list of people I'd like to see stick around Salem.  In
fact, I do believe I really would be quite happy if he went to check
on the printing presses and got a bit pressed!  :-)
*

well joanna, as you once said, we are going to have some interesting 
conversations...well, here goes.

oh, i'm not ready to hang the any of the lombards.  i don't care for stella
much but i have never said "give me the remote" for any of her scenes.  also,
jesse is not one of my favorites (yet), but that is mainly because the writers
make his character nothing more than a punk.  yes, you are right, if these
two were gone, i probably wouldn't miss them, but i'm not ready to saddle the
horses and call the rest of the lynch mob.

yes, you are right on the scoffields.  i believe they should stay.  if i had to
choose, i would get rid of the lombards (excluding roger of course).  however,
if i had to choose which of my arms to be cut off, i would choose the left --
this doesn't mean "prepare the axe, i'll put it on the block."  this means if
i "had" to choose...-- 

again, you are right about plenty of hortons and bradys out there with problems
who could come onto the show in place of the lombards.  however, that is the
/one of the lombards (scoffields for that matter also) big attractions.  they
aren't bradys or hortons.  my goodness, those two families are salems equivalent
(in size) to the kennedys.  if i swung a sand wedge on nearly any street in
salem, i know on average i would hit two bradys and a horton.  now i love alot
members in these families but it is always nice to have a family that doesn't
dominate the show in number.  i doubt anymore lombards (unless dean is feeling
a little frisky) will be showing up in salem.  also, once the characters are
developed some, they will fit into salem just like lisanne fits into those
tights.

now, about vern.  i'm sure if he thought your press idea (he being splatted
all over the spectator (pun intended)), would sell papers, i'm sure he would
be all for it.  in my opinion, you vehemence in wanting vern out of salem can
only be attributed to the great acting and overall wonderful qualities in vern
(char.) which go together to create the art you see in each of his scenes.
i wonder if the 90210 people saw vern and then decided to go with the burns?

Um, Linda.  Although the verbal sparring of DOOL is not prevalent here,
your comments are much appriciated.  Maybe they have not evoked a response

Hi,
	Just thought I'd take a minute and unlurk since everyone else is.
I moved to San Diego from Hawaii about a year and a half ago and haven't
been able to watch AMC since then.  VCR got screwed up in the move and
I've been too busy and poor to fix it.  Thanks to Margaret Gibbs for the
mailing list and a big thanks to all you great updaters for such insightful
and informative updates.  I will be 30 next thursday, seems like alot of
people will be 30 this year!!  I have no animals right now but I did have
a German Shepard named Dutchess.  She however took a liking to the taste
of small children (only ones who tormented her) and now lives in Connecticut
with my family.  Well that's about it.  Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Well, see Galen is a Pine Valley Lawyer, She finished law school in
three weeks and missed the part about restraining orders. But the rest
of us know that she could take out a restraining order based on what
he did to her in the past. A restraining order is not a charge of a
crime. It simply states that the named person can not phone, or come
in the house, or make contact with the other person in any way. The
person taking out the restraining order specifies how restrictive they
want it. In Massachusetts, if the named person violates this, then
they can be arrested immediately. Initially they are granted for 10
days. You can then go back to the judge and have the time extended
for months or more.

I realize AMC is using this issue to stress the futility of the law
and how many women end up victims, but they should also take this
opportunity to show that a restraining order is the first step in
stopping harassment!

When I watched this, I couldn't determine whether there was sex involved or
not.  I thought Selina acted pretty calm for someone who might just have 
had sex with a young boy.  (Was he 11 or 13?  For some reason I thought it
was his 13th birthday.)  I thought maybe when she referred to the fact that
*they could never do this again* she meant having laid in the bed and 
comforted him.  Mind you if she did have sex with Cooper, I'm with you in that
I would have done a lot more than just throw her out.

Funny, I never thought about the fact that Stacy and Trucker might become
an item with Jack gone.  My first thought was that all the emotional
pain Stacy will suffer will be witnessed by Tricia and Tricia will realize
what she had with Trucker was special too.  However, now that you've brought
up this idea, I would find this very interesting.  

By the way, there was a period of time that I missed a number of episodes of
Loving... whatever happened to Rio and Rocky?  What was the explanation for
them leaving the show?  I really liked them and their story line.

Ta ta for now!

Welcome, Linda!  Engaged 6 times?!  Boy, you mentioned you have been watching

I definitely agree with this. What bothers me is that Edmund is such an
enormous pain in the a**.  Now, I have been involved with a man who had a
"tormented past" and it is such WORK to make it work...I can't accept that
Brooke is so committed to this guy that she has only known for a few months. 
In real life trying to make a relationship work that has that kind of baggage
is just enormously difficult.  Why is she bothering?  Must be great sex!
