Subject: AMC: Hugo's body -- c'mon!
Organization: Indiana University
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 19:46:26 GMT

Doesn't it seem strange that Mimi and Derek aren't working on this
body snatcher thing? The last I knew, grave robbing (no matter who
it is done by) is a crime. So why aren't the police working on it
instead of Haley and Choppers?

Also, it seems like the only person who thinks that Dimitri stole
Hugo is Edmund. I know that Angel has left a message for Dimitri, but
Dim is the one who was so upset about anything that might desecrate
his fathers grave. I'd think they'd do everything possible to
make sure that he knows his fathers body is gone.

Everyone in Pine Valley seems so calm about this. Oh well, the grave
is empty, but lets worry about whether or not to get married.

They're probably consoling themselves by telling each other "IOAS"!

Sus.

You guys are great. I've heard from Spudnix, Joanna, Nectarine Peel,
Liz (big Banana), Liz Fox, Rick Morris, and a couple others. Liz even
sent me some DOOL articles to help me through while I gave rn an

I collect pigs too!  A very strange coincidence.  I know Stever has suggested
Miss Piggy for a nickname.  I feel compelled to mention that Miss Piggy
is very near and dear to my heart.  Why, you ask?  As a 6th grader,
I played Miss Piggy in my elementary school's production of The Muppet Movie.
I got to wear a long blond wig and sing a solo. :) As a result of my astounding
performance, ATWT approached me about playing someone's kid, but my
parents forced me to turn down the role because they were afraid of my
being an over-worked child actress.  If only they knew that, like Yuckdale's
other brats, I would only have been required to speak one sentence every six months or so . . .  oh well, who needs stardom anyway?

What do you think of Miss Piggy, Karen?  We'll keep brainstorming for
other nicks too - there's no rush.

I already did one follow-up but I felt I had to respond to this one.  Politics 
play a big part in the Emmys (for that matter in the Oscars as well, but that
isn't applicable here).  Ideally the BEST actors should be nominated, but as in
real life personal connections, popularity among peers, network politics, etc.
play a part in the process.  Many people were surprised that Kate Collins who
did a damn good job as Nat/Janet wasn't nominated.  And when Beverlee McKinsey, 
formerly of Guiding Light wasn't nominated, a lot of people were shocked.  There
are what 10, 11 soaps?  Let's not forget that most of us see people from only
a couple of these.

I don't think she's a bad actress, but going by the basis that the Emmy's should
be for the BEST people in daytime, I don't think Lucci qualifies.  Don't get me
wrong, I like Erica Kane.  She's outrageous and funny and sometimes touching.
So no flames please.

I was never sure until a few weeks ago, when they had Adam call Charlie 
a "Stupid Ken Doll."  I *never* heard that term used before anywhere 
except in r.a.t.s., and we have not used it for a LONG time (since the 
last "pretty boy" actor who played Charlie).

Now, I'm a believer!

Speaking of recycling ... I saw a promo for DOOL (which I don't watch) and
it looked like they are recycling the "Nat in the well" story.  There was
a female character down in some deep shaft in a building.  She is yelling
someones name, and the guy pauses briefly.  Looked real familiar.

Someone posted that they thought that Edmund was not so much in the wrong
because he is battling to find out who his father was.  I think that today
when Edmund asked for the deed to Wild Wind and half of Hugo's estate, he
croosed the line.  To me he is now totally in the wrong!  That doesn't
make Dimwit right in my eyes, though.  

Another thing, for those of you who follow Loving, I'd love to see Edmund

Here's the look ahead gang! Oh, by the way, in case you miss it...
Paul was saying his daughter turned "10" on friday... making him
29! Yeah RIGHT!!! I don't know why they wouldn't make her
a more interesting 15 or so... and I'm not buying a 29-year-old
Paul!! Oh well, as far as I can figure from the soap rags, they 
just plan on bringin back April (the original actress too!) and
not Heather... yet!

Here's the preview:
Jack and Nikki are concerned about the way Victor is handling things...
Ryan and Victoria plan to spend a lean thanksgiving... Michael
and Hilary have it out... Molly sticks with erh mission to help
Sheila

For those of you not tuning in to B&B for this Sheila stuff...
Molly was VERY reluctant to help Sheila and was ready to spill
the beans to Eric, Sheila's new love, until Molly saw how much
Eric really loves her and what a good guy he is. This is the gist
of quuite a few shows where mother and daughter battled it out,
but should prepare you for Molly's insistence on getting lauren to
forgive.

More from SOW:
Rex's thanksgiving practical joke is a turkey... Victor
takes Victoria off the family payroll... Ashley warns Jack
his desire to help Nikki's kids could hurt her... Molly
gets a conditional invite from Lauren, which makes Molly
put Sheila's wishes on hold... Jack makes certain Vicki and
Ryan have a happy and filling thanksgiving... Michael
threatens Cricket... Mary shows Paul a painful reminder of
his past... John fears he's lost Jill
Next week:
Victor asks Jill the wrong question... Scott is suspicious
of Molly

Looks like Victoria and Ryan will stick together for a while...
I'm still voting for Nina and Ryan... though I think Victoria's
great!! That's all for now! Have a great week and happy turkey

a lace camisole-dicky thing for under a dressy suit, 
pearls and gold chains that could be converted to necklaces 
(2 lengths), bracelets and a belt.  And a pretty floral 
box to keep it all in.  It was something like $68.  
Apparently it is not in stores yet (or so they say).

She looked great, she was wearing a red jacket, black pants and
a white blouse, the belt from the kit, the necklace and some of
the red stones in various places.  Her hair was in a ponytail,
so I guess it's grown out a lot.  She seemed kind of nervous 
though, she talked really fast, and fussed with the models a 
little bit.  She mentioned being on Oprah (or Donohue, I forget 
which) and everyone showed up wearing the same color jacket.  
When she ran back to change her jacket all she had to do was 
switch the stones and all her accessories matched again.

I ended up buying it as a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law.
She is the only woman I know who owns earrings to match her bathing
suit, so I *know* she will love this. :-)
