I agree, I'm getting tired of waiting as well.  Usually soap pregnancies
don't last exactly nine months of real time.  Also, if you calculate Jenn's
due date like my doctor did (subtract three months and add seven days) it
works out to be Oct. 17, but usually the formula is used on the date your
last menstural cycle began.  So she is really about two to three weeks
late, but who am I to try to bring reality into this show.

I agree with you 100%.  Marcus is probably gone for good, there are rumors
that another doctor is going to be cast, and all I keep thinking is how
great Matt would be if they'd just let him appear on the show more than one

Boy, I sure hate to do this, but...I watched 'Going to Extremes' last
night and that wasn't MEK...though I remember this rumor from a couple
of days ago and recognized the scene where GTE's character named
Charlie sure *looked* like MEK.  BTW, the 'real' AMC Charlie wasn't
on last night.  Good show, though.

You know, I think the AMC Wardrobe People put the characters in all
these wild/tacky/unusual fashions JUST to spark conversations like 
this thread.

I *liked* Livia's dress, but *didn't* like the veil.  I forget who 
mentioned she should have had a headdress instead -- but that is 
exactly right.

I thought Opal looked GREAT.  What a creative outfit!  I guess you 
have to go through a pregnancy to appreciate a fashion statement like
that.  :-)  I had a heck of a time finding "glamorous" maternity clothes!

Well, I don't about others but three of my four boys were named after

Hi all,

I think the convention would be a great idea.....BUT...
I live in New York, and I haven't seen anyone else in
New York, or anywhere semi close to hear.  So being that
I am a college student, there is no possible way that I
could go to something like this out west, unless I was to
win a lot of money soon.

If you do decide to give it a go, I hope somebody will

I drove 30 miles to the bus stop once only to have to turn around and drive
home because the kid's car seat was in the back seat of my car.  I never

convince Timmy to go home after they finally "got a clue":

"I'm not five years old anymore.  I don't want to go home and
eat oatmeal cookies with the maid."  

Ye gads, this kid is good.  Hooray for the writers, who seem to
be playing against the soap opera kid stereotype, quiet and complacent
until they hit their teenage years.  I'm hoping the actor who
plays Timmy gets to grow up on the air.  A pairing of him and

I thought it had a silver tint to it and it occured to me maybe they
were recycling the veil from Nat's silver wedding dress.  I don't recall

What was with all those hats?  I thought Opal's hat matched Dixie's
dress.  We have seen Dixie's dress before too.  Ruth's hat didn't
go with her dress and Taylor (the only one with a matching hat and
dress) looked so conservative.  One more thing Liva's wedding dress
very summery for an October wedding, it was very pretty though and
Livia looked quite beautiful.

watch Major Dad and my fathers been known to be wrong, but

So far, that is a pretty good prediction.  Characters who are destined
for couplehood usually have negative feelings for one another when they
first meet.  So, we have Billie's intense hatred of Bo because he's a cop
and his condensending feelings towards her because she's a drug-user and
a law breaker. 

Also, the fact that their names begin with the same letter is always
enouraging.  Lets see how many couples we can list whose names begin
with the same letter.  Not just from this soap, but from any one.

I'll start with the obvious ones:

Jack and Jennifer (DOOL)

Mickey and Maggie (DOOL)

Frisco and Felicia (GH)

Luke and Laura (GH)


I know there are many more, but I can't think of them now.  Can anyone
else?

Jack is so hot (IMNSHO) Drake is okay...but I have to completely agree
with you that Tim is NASTY and so is Jesse.  Tim looks like the stereotypical
arrogant stuck up asshole male I run into so often here on campus..and
I think his looks are NIL.  Talk about some close-set weasley eyes.
And the sideburns? Excuse me while I throw up all over the place.  He
really is just the complete antithesis of EVERYTHING I find attractive
in a guy and I also read today that he DIPS.  Figures, that just fits
in so well with the nasty idiot snob-hick category I've stereotyped him
in.  Hmmm Sally you're the one who hates Carly right?  I hate Tim as
much as you hate Carly I think.  Did any of you guys see the inset pics
of Jesse and Tim in this weeks Soap Opera Digest?  Good god if this is
what's considered "GORGEOUS" these days I might as well join a convent.
I've never seen two more heinous disgusting looking guys in my life and
Austin is running a close 3rd (he's okay but the fact that he dips just

Well, if he's just been promoted maybe he eager to show everyone how well
he can do things.  Maybe he can look at the records of when both DOOL &
