I found out why.  Seems she has a liaison with the chief orderly in ward C.
You know the one.  He's that no-necked guy with the cattle prod.

I'm not that old ... 33 ... guess I was just in one of those "feeling old"
moods the day I posted that.  I seem to notice the phrase "homeboy" being
used a lot more these days, and just wondered if it had aquired a new

I'm sure everyone is in for a big surprise.  Helga sure is being nice to
Edmund!  I'm not sure exactly why, unless he is inheriting everything, which
has been hinted at.  Gee, Dim's dad must real detest Dim!  I personally
enjoy Helga's performance ... yes, she is over-acted, but it lends her
character a sense of being imbalanced ... I think it's great!

I liked it! I cried (happily!) :-) Sheri Brice used this phrase about

I actually kind of like her character. And I said before the storyline
is very topical. I thought when she refused Stephen's offer to move
in and went out anyway, knowing Carter might be outside, she showed
a sense of independence I admired! Why *should* she have to be the
victim? :-) Of course AMC wasn't probably trying to show her independence,
more likely a confrontation with Carter, but maybe they were and if
so, thanks AMC :-)

OK, the you-know-what hit the fan at work Tuesday, so I forgot it was national
unlurking day (too many G&T's, forget nursie's little pills!) on WardD and I'm
a day late...

I've been stuck in the broom closet (there are LOTS of interesting toys in
there!) for quite a while now, and I've been watching events unfold in 
Yuckdale since the Betsy and Steve days, I don't know how many years that is.
A lot.  Too many.  I have only recently begun watching faithfully again, and
am just getting used to some of these strangers in town.

I've gotta say -- those scenes between ConHer and Scooter yesterday were hot.
I think they make a most excellent couple.

People I like:             People who bug the living %$@# out of me:

MHHolden (babe-a-licious)  Tease (puh-leeeeeeze stop whining!)
ConHer                     JohnnyD
Old Cargo                  This Cargo (she is really Maureen Bauer, not Cargo)
Chilly (flame suit ON)     Ivagotsomanysecretsimgonnaburst
Sleaza                     Babs
CourtMe                    Duh-hutch


I do technical support for a living and the Ward gives me major relief
from cranky customers.  Back when this company used to have money (and spend
it freely) I was the company party planner (yes, parties and only parties,
all year long, full time) but those days have passed...

An aside to the four-wheeelin' one:  according to the company directory, 
i'm just in the buildin' next door!  Dig your updates, but doesn't it bug
you that we get no new posts a couple times a week????

All this socializing is quite exhausting! Nursie, can I have an aqua pill
with a double G&T and go back to the closet now?

 Hi Peoples,
 
      I've been a lurker for quite a while now, over a year in fact.  
 I don't get to watch much anymore because the people I work for don't 
 understand that their workers need their daily fix.  If it keeps up I 
 might be sent to the Ward permanently instead of just visiting <grin>
 
      Anyway, I enjoy the updates and all the witty banter, so keep up 
 the good work and I'll see ya around.

Watching A Martinez acting yesterday makes the fact that he is leaving even

to Warren, BJ, Frank and Reese. All these actors are very capable, but, I want

Hello everyone, I guess I should formally introduce myself, even

yes, Gidget is my real name.  Steve has already christened me
Giggles, so I guess that's what we'll be going by.

I've been held for awile on WardA, but Nursie got so tired of finding
me peeking in on you all in WardD, she agreed to let me join you all,
if I would agree to take the green pills instead of the orange ones.
Gosh, the things people go thru to get over here.

Well, I hope to meet the rest of you folks in the activity room some
time soon, as long as I'm allowed to stay over here, Nursie and I
have a meeting to discuss it.

JlJ, Gilbie, and Steve:  thanks for the birthday wishes!

Later,
Giggles

But isn't there a tiny little legal regulation about conflict of
interest?  And wouldn't that include someone's half sister representing 
him in family court?  
And would he really want to entrust something as touchy as a custody battle
to a kid that JUST wrote her exams and is herself in the middle of a 
professional crisis?
If so, then it proves Scotty really IS an incompetent fool -- I mean, 
we're talking about a doctor who couldn't tell his wife was faking a 
pregnancy.  Who could argue that he's mentally fit to raise a flea, let 
alone a child????!!!

I just picked up the August 4 issue of Soap Opera Weekly, and they have an
interview/article about this storyline.  It's "The Grapevine" section, and
Dorothy Vine talks to both Nicholas Walker and Sydney Penny.  Pretty
interesting article and points of view by the actors.  I can post a
synopsis of the article if there is any interest.

Actually, Thaao's DOOL wife's name was Anna, she was Roman's first

Ms. Hunley went on to DYNASTY, and her character married one of
the Carrigton's.  I believe it was Adam, who was portrayed by SB's
