post some of the topics covered in the FAQ separately, and not all on

From my recollection, she was dreaming about Frand because she had just taken
some heavy medication to help her sleep.  A-M crawled into bed with her as she
was having a hot and heavy dream about Frank.   I don't recall the two sleeping
together. I remember her moaning things like "My husband" making AM believe she

I have to agree, but REMEMBER AM CHANGED ELENI'S PILLS WITH PLACEBOs that he
just happened to have on the boat when he was afraid that Eleni would find out
about The French Woman (don't want to butcher her name).  She later learned the

Ok TIm - I was going to stay out of this thread since my sisters, Onion
and Spud, did such an eloquent job but I just HAD to respond to this....

Someone (perhaps sis Grape or Limer or Spud) said that the difference
between Bo and Carly's scene with others was that it did NOT show
romance and caring and deep abiding love.  On the other hand, J&J had
had a LOOOOOONNNNG separation and had been trying to get back together
and wanted to work things out.  I think it was the first time in months
that we had even seen or it had been hinted at that they made love (as
compared with bi-episode boinking of Carpy and Bozone, but I
digress)....They were locked in that studio with a timer that would not
go off until the morning - hours away.  Bozone and Carpy were in a bar
with the lights on and the door unlocked.  I don't call them the same
thing.  And Carpy was tipsy as was Bozone - not the case with J&J.  I
have nothing against hot, lusty sex ;) but what I find more appealing on
DOOL is the romantic encounter, not the soft porn ones.  What I do
privately is my business and another story - but I am no prude.  But
what I prefer to WATCH on my soap is another thing and something TPTB
should take note of - most viewers prefer romance to sex.  

Just my 2 cents.

Hello all --

So why do you think that Homefront seems to be on an every other week
schedule?

After tonight, I think I like Jeff and Ginger again -- at least tonight they
were back to being funny in their troubles instead of just nasty.

And I LOVE it when Abe and Gloria get the better of Ruth.

As for the Michael Kahn naming business -- do you think that Anne just came up
with the idea at the moment?  When they decided they needed a Jewish saints'
name I thought they should have tried Jesus.  Would the Old Testament names
like David have worked do you think?

I have a couple more comments, but I'll hold off until after the show airs on
the West Coast.

Joe Reilly is Kevin and Joey's biological father. Clint adopted
them after he and Viki got married. Jessica is the biological
daughter of Viki and Clint.

And I meant to post this earlier, but forgot: but in the latest
issue of Episodes magazine there was mention that Joe Reilly was
also the father of Meg Craig Reilly (Um, I think that was the
name). Anyone know who this was? I remember the Craigs -- Doc and
Anna and I think there was a daughter named Kathy. But I can't
recall Joe being involved with her. Anyone else?

DOOL History - post #2


The Story

Nineteen years ago, the Hortons of Salem were a happy family, all still
living together - with the exception of the oldest son, TOMMY HORTON
(later played by John Lupton), who was missing in action in Korea.

DR. TOM HORTON (Macdonald Carey), Chief of Internal Medicine at
University Hospital, and his wife ALICE (Frances Reid), had four other
grown children:  ADDIE (Pat Huston, later Patricia Barry), Tommy's twin;
 MICKEY (John Clarke), a lawyer; BILL (Edward Mallory), a brilliant
young surgeon attempting to follow in his father's footsteps; and the
youngest, MARIE (Marie Cheatham, currently Lanna Saunders).

When Addie married wealthy banker BEN OLSON (Robert Knapp) and moved to
Europe with him, Tom and Alice felt little joy at their daughter's
sudden departure.  But they did have consolation in that Addie and Ben
left their daughter, JULIE OLSON (now Susan Seaforth Hayes), to be 
raised by her grandparents.  The Olsons reared their other child, STEVE
OLSON (Flip Mark, now Stephen Schnetzer), in Europe.  Young Julie,
however, never forgave her mother for deserting her.

Julie became the tortured and motherless young girl searching for love
and friendship wherever she could find them.  Unfortunately she tended
to find both in all the wrong places.

Her one time best chum from high school days SUSAN HUNTER (Denise
Alexander, Bennye Gatteys), eventually became her bitter rival and the
cause of many of her heartaches.  The friendship was first severely
strained when Julie found out that Susan was carrying the child of DAVID
MARTIN (Steve Milnes, Clive Clerk), to who Julie was then secretly
engaged. Julie, however, stepped aside and let the two marry, even
stoically agreeing to become Susan's maid of honor, but bitterness raged
between the two women when Susan, after the birth of her child, refused
to divorce David so that Julie could marry him.

As if fate were punishing Susan and David for their sins, tragedy
engulfed them.  Shortly after their son, Richard Martin, was born, his
father, David, was playing with him on a swing and the child  was killed
accidentally.  Susan went out  of her mind and shot David Martin!

So were the days,

It would appear that Max is hovering between life and death.  However,
for the most part he seems to be alive--at least it seems that way to
me.  

>Another thing, who is Mortimer?  Is he really Carlos?  

Mortimer is an Egyptologist.  He made his first appearance in Llanview
when the museum did an exhibit on Cleopatra's jewelry.  Alex, among
others, noticed a profound similarity between Mortimer and Carlo
(however, that similarity was merely one of appearance--Mortimer's
personality couldn't be more different than that of the late Carlo
Hesser).  So, in short, Mortimer is /not/ Carlo; but in the spirit of so
many post-mortem look-alikes on OLTL [viewers may recall the woman with
whom Jake boarded the plane to leave Llanview after the Meagan ghost
story, and of course there's the Cord-->Suede connection :-)],
Mortimer's resemblance to Carlo is no accident!

BTW, sorry my posts have been so few and far-between these last couple
weeks.  My gainful employer--IU's public radio station--is knee-deep in
our annual fund drive.  Believe me!  If I could commit more time to
OLTL, I would; I'll be back in true form soon!

     I have wondered about that, too.  When Cain first started using his real
     name and told Asa and Tina about knowing Rose Smith (is that her name ?)
    I expected Cain to eventually reveal that he is yet another illegitimate
     member of the Buchanan clan.  When Cain looks heart when Asa refers to
     "family" and with the recent mention of Asa's concern for Max, I start to
     think that maybe this is a possibility.

OK, I know I've said this before, but I am bothered by John's
constantly calling on Carly.  (WARNING, BAD STORYLINE IDEA)  But
I would swear this is foreshadowing a John/Carly romance.  Remember
when Eve suddenly started to have scenes with Jack?  Next thing
we knew, they were married.  DOCL is not known for subtlety, I have
a bad feeling about this...  (Any one want to jump in here and
PLEASE give me all the reasons this just could not be.)

Where did Hayley, the nanny, go?  After all Icky B's efforts
to hire her and bond with her, and suddenly, John just says she's
gone???

As to Nikki/Larry/Carly/Viv.  Nikki and Viv have my sympathies.
I hope Viv keeps the kid.  If I were Nikki, I'd much rather live
with my Auntie Mame than a manic/depressive doctor with an overactive
libido or a rapist/murderer.  I do confess, for once (I swear it will
never happen again) I agreed with Carly.  Larry could have shown at
least a hint of emotion or remorse over Lisanne.

Also, loved the Jack and Jennifer scenes.  Besides Julie, they are
really the only two characters currently on air who could move me to
tears.  I thought the Jack/Jenn scene with Jenn talking about Laura
and Jack comforting her was lovely.

That's my $0.02.  Any one else?
