Nancy, congrats!  Wasn't there a piece on this in the NY Times as well? 
Your fame continues to grow, and just think I'll be able to say I
knew when you were just starting out :-)  By the way, does anyone
have a copy of both articles and would you be willing to forward them
to me?

Although you are technically correct, I liked it the way it was for
"stylistic" reasons.  They tricked me.  I had been wondering if Junior
recognized Tad, but he didn't say a word until the end of their conversation
when he just matter-of-fact kid-like states that Tad isn't a stranger.  I
thought it was perfect ... kind of touching [OK ... I'm kind of a softy].

Greetings, Happy Holidays, etc.

I'm unlurking to report a sighting of our own Emily Ann
(Liz Vassey) last night on Herman's Head.  Wouldn't you know it,
she wanted a baby!  She played Herman's ex-girlfriend, and she
wanted him to donate sperm for a baby.  When he ultimately refused,
I was waiting for her to poison his drink and tell him he was going
to die :-)

Yep. He showed up yesterday. It was about the only thing I watched with

Yes, she is soooo bad. I liked her with Scott, because she was agressive

Hi all, here's the next to last set of previews.  Sorry I missed
last week, but Christmas just kept me too busy.  Those who said
SB is going out with a fizzle, I definately agree with.  These
are nothing too great!

Here goes nothing.



Mon.....Rafe interrupts Lilly's wedding to Ted saying he
	doesn't want her to marry the wrong man.  Before Ted can
	stop her, Lilly leaves with Rafe but she insists it's
	only to talk.  With Sophia in the hospital, Connor
	searches the cottage and this time he's not leaving
	until he finds that poison.
Tues....Rich tells Lisa he wants her and begins to get
	rough with her.  Just when it looks as if Rich is about	
	to rape Lisa, the door to the apartment bursts open.
	Warren asks B.J. how she feels about going to Laguna
	to write in first class style?  Ted and Lilly are so
	nervous about making love, that they make small talk
	instead.
Wed.....After Rafe makes mincemeat our of Rich, he checks
	on Lisa and discovers that she's not breathing.  Mason
	and Gracie get together to interview possible couples
	to adopt Gracie's baby.  Ted and Lilly play poker until	
	the moment moves them...and they start to play anotehr
	game.  Rafe gets and update on Lisa's condition.
Thurs...Ken swears that Andi killed his last two wives and
	was trying to kill Sophia all along because she wants
	to get even with Ken.  Connor summons Andi to the
	station to talk to Ken.  AS soon as Andi is alone with
	Ken, she offers to make his a cup of tea.  Jodie sees
	the light when Micah tells her he can't continue to
	fight for her as long as she's clinging to her husband.
Fri.....Ken's enjouing his tea until he suspects that Andi
	slipped something into it...like poison.  Back at the
	hospital, a still groggy Sophia tells Kelly that Ken
	loves her and she suspects someone has framed him.
	Angela asked C.C. if he would rather be with Sophia?
	Michah and Jodie begin to make love.

that Adam will win *temporary* custody, which gives Ted/Tad a chance

I have to admit that I was CHEERING when Chilly was finally told the truth

seen it before and he couldn't understand why I was yelling and screaming.
I tried to explain to him that this storyline had been going on for almost
2 years and that after investing that much time and emotional energy into
it, I was enjoying the pay off. I missed Enema tear into Sighva, but it'll
be good to see her tear into Juicy today.

Hey, why not? As long as I can answe some of them.
	
>1. When will Harold appear on Larry King Live?

When he becomes nationally renowned as the smartest living creature in Pine
Valley for recognizing the man known as Ted Orcini is one and the same as
Tad Martin.  He'll try to get this point across to all the grown-ups to no
avail, and so Timmy will have to figure it out.  After the Larry King 
appearance I'm sure his story will be made into a TV movie with all three
networks fighting to get the first version of the "Harold Dillon Story".

Because contrary to popular belief, Christmas did not actually occur this 
year.  It was actually pre-emtped for football games.

You should just get naked and at least have more _fun_ than they did putting

A heck of a lot sooner than Joey returns from med school.  Why'd he dis his
