  This certainly got tedious.  And just to pick nits, they

Hello --

You know, I have been thinking.... (scary thought isn't it?)  Wendy
Phillips' comment about "as the spirit moves" made me think about the
issue of do they read the mail.

 First -- let me say yes.  They (programming
people) read the mail.  Each letter they receive counts in their mind as
hundreds more viewers who aren't writing.  Also with a parcel of letters
from literate people with jobs, ABC can go to sponsors and say look Homefront
doesn't have the gross numbers of say Full House, but the people who watch are
over 18 with real jobs who buy real things.

But -- it occurs to me that maybe without mentioning the show name on the
envelope, we ought to be making sure HF letters get the message through.  I'm
thinking of sending the visual equivalent of V-mail (That's Victory mail --
honest that's what they called it -- those airmail type letters which the
US government issued for military personal and they friends to use instead
of regular heavy paper. --- and an etymological precursor no doubt to E-mail)

I thought maybe I'd send my letter on air-mail stationary.  Might be more
likely to make it through to the assistant rather than the assistant's
assistant.

What do you think?

Or maybe she isn't an Orsini at all, but instead Natalie and Janut's

doesn't find a well  to keep him "safe" in when he finally finds out

Susan - sounds like what goes on around our house, too!  In
fact, I had gotten a big tree and had put it up and was about
to string lights when the Christmas song "Little Drummer Boy"
came on my new Reader's Digest CD.  Well, that song always
makes me cry (boo hoo), so I get out my little address book
and call Pauline.  (Pauline!  boo hoo!)  Unfortunately, some
of the lights weren't working right, so poor Pauline had to
listen to me cussing while I'm trying to check ALL OF THE
THOSE DAMN LITTLE LIGHT BULBS ON THAT LOOOOOOONG STRING!
Whew!  I had no kids home at the time, so it was nice to
have a phone conversation without "MOM!" every other minute!

Michael, you will be happy to know that Soap Opera Digest agrees with you!
They have selected "the best and worst of 92" and The NewNatalie gets "the
1992 worst replacement award". They say she has gone from a strong,
independent woman to a wimpy woman. They say she is really now - (Trevor's
most overused word) Doll. I don't think it is her fault entirely tho.
They also said imagine trying to interact with all new cast members
blindly (which is what she did) that this can cause a severe strain in
her interaction with other characters or actors. Sorry I don't have the
whole article, I actually didn't think I had anything worthwhile to bring in,
but now that you mentioned this... They also said the Worst Wedding of
92 was Natalie and Trevor's (that's Kate Collins!), that they did not
seem happy together. The article said it was a mutual decision between
Collins and AMC to leave but that rumors
(and probably the truth) was that Collins did not get along well at all
with James Kiberd (Trevor) hence why there were no "sparks" at their wedding.
You all will be also interested to know that Galen Henderson got "most
boring character" and Erica got "most entertaining character".

Well, I don't actually mind Natalie that much but I thought this would
interest you.

Collins is permanently gone but whether Melody Anderson is here to stay
I am not sure. I just saw where they fired the current Dorian Lord on OLTL,
(Elaine Princi) and are replacing her with the one that was in the role
before her. It can happen, I guess!

Why in hell would Bill let Lucy escape prosecution? He knows she was in on
the art theft, and after she tried to get a "finders fee" for helping
locate that Halifax guy, he just blew her off. Does this sound like the
crazy bastard turned art lover that he has been lately? Also, since Scott is
a lawyer, isn't he obligated to do something about Lucy knowing that she
was involved? This is ridiculous.

Why was it announced at the trial that Ryan couldn't be in court today
because he was still convalescing, but he has the strength to go to work
and go to the Outback to harass Felicia?

Does the comic relief scenes with Haddock/Bile/Bluke & Holly crack you up
or what......not. This is really sad, Sailor. How the hell can they get
away with what they do. The other day Bill was hacking into the PC Hotel's
computer..yeah right. I'd have that jerk thrown in jail. Why is it that
Sean is the most incompetent cop since Daryl Gates? This is the former
head of the WSB, yet he can't find out one thing about Ryan (Dr. Death)
Chamberlain.

Why is it that for at least a solid month, every other scene was Sly crying
about Holly, and for about the last month or two, he's disappeared? Did he
instantly get over his intense hatred for her when she learned a thing or
two about football?

Hello, everyone,

I am bored and I don't want to work on my thesis, so I thought I would
finally come out of the shadows and post something. I love this group
and read it every night before I go to bed, after we have all had a
chance to watch our tapes. I have only been watching AMC for about a
year-and-a-half. I started when Janet put Natalie in the well. I
missed Dixie's lapse this summer, because I was working terrible hours
and didn't even have enough time to watch tapes, and I'm sorry I did,
because it sounds like the only time her character has been even
remotely interesting. So hello to everyone, and I'll be posting again soon.

Hi Everyone,
I saw my name mentioned here and there and wanted
to thank you for being concerned about how we
fared through last week's devastating storm at the
Jersey shore.

There was miraculously no damage to our new home on
the river.  Although we're not moving in until
the last week in January (it's a long story - we
closed on the house in July and the sellers are
renting back til their house is built next door),
Greg was over there in a big hurry to see how
everything was.  Unbelievably the water didn't even go
over the dock!

The people that bought our house weren't as lucky.
They live in an adjoining town and lost all their
first floor furnishings and a car.  And sadly that's
small potatoes compared to the rest of the areas.
Estimates are coming in close to the billion dollar
mark and the towns affected will take a long time to rebuild.  
The town of Lavallette (where the ATWT-GL softball game
was over the summer) was one of the worst hit.  My
mother-in-law's house was flooded and Greg was there last
weekend cleaning up and mopping up.  When I went to bring
him lunch on Sunday, I had to get police permission to go
through!  My caregiver's house lost a huge pine tree
that had been standing in the front yard.  When I picked
up Ashley and Lindsey Friday night I nearly fainted!  The
tree covered the whole house and I had to scrunch down
and go under the branches to get to the front door!

Well that's it from my end.  You can see I have alot to
be thankful for this holiday season, including my
co-wardees!  Nursie:  can we talk?

Take care,
Belfry

Don't know; hope so since it was excellent.  In the closing remarks
Jean Marsh left herself open to the possibility of more, or not.  It 
was left ambiguous.  After the first 12 episodes, I didn't know if
there were any more, and there were.  Perhaps they are making some
more.  Maybe rec.arts.tv.uk knows?

Well, in my opinion, she already IS A BITCH!
I kept yelling, "BITCH!" at my TV the whole
time she was explaining to Jack about blowing
town.  I can't believe she didn't care enough
about him to discuss it with him until she got
caught with her luggage packed!  Grrr.

When Walt Wiley announced at the comedy club 
(Dec. 4th) that Jack had just broken up with 
Angelique that day, I wondered what exactly
would bring it on.  I thought he would dump
her sorry butt yesterday, but then he goes
and becomes understanding at the end of the 
show!  So how is it that Walt thinks Jack
broke up with Angel?  It looks to me like
Angel broke up with Jack!  Or maybe there is
more to come?

I thought that someone, maybe Dim, mentioned that the house had been
closed up for sometime.  And I thought that Edmund and Dim and Angel
had private tutors that came on the estate, not sure where I got
that idea, but then I am never really sure where my ideas come from.

	Did anyone notice, or even find it vaguely amusing as I did, that
when Lawrence burst into the wedding ceremony and announced to the world
that his and Snarpy's child was missing, Snarly let out the strangest 
sounding moan.  Something like Ohhhhuuuhhhh.  I thought it was so funny
that I rewound and watched that many, many times.  It was probably the
fakest sound I've ever heard her emit.  Either she didn't practice
very much or else she practiced a lot and it's just her shitty acting
skills. (I'm inclined to go with the latter).  Either way it was probably
the best part of the show. If you any of you still have that on tape
you should watch it, even if you FFed through the wedding it's worth
it merely for the hilarity factor.

Later,
