What does Christening have to do with giving the baby away (I missed
this episode, and a few others, too)?

Sure, I read this posting right after the radio goes static after a
few days of good reception (and not major developments). I don't know
what I'd do without you people (and Soap Opera Digest) to fill in the
gaps.

I just hope Christopher doesn't get hurt. Giff is acting too strange
to stay around, unless Casey finds out he's not taking his
"medication" and tells someone, who then makes him take it, he calmns
down, all is forgiven, and he continues to reside in Corinth.
I like Giff before he "turned". I still think Trisha and Trucker
belong together, but it is a soap, and happy endings are not that
exciting.

Curtis. He came back after Lottie died, and left again. It's hard not
to confuse him with Cooper. But, why did he leave?

It's strange not to mention Steve (and don't forget Jeff), especially
when she was seeing Steve's ghost so much a while ago. She would spend
time in their house to be close to him. Steve would appear (much as
Cabot did for Isabelle) and give her advice and tell her life goes on.
But, then, maybe the memories are still painful and she's rather get
on with life and live for today. Besides, it has been a while (years)
since he died, and no one would probably mention a dead husband that
often, anyhow. My grandmother doesn't mention my dead gradfather that
I know of.

I don't remember Trisha visiting Kate that much. I remember Trisha and
Stacey - which is still a friendship, I think. But if Trucer
"comforts" Stacey too much, I wouldn't put bets on how long the
friendship between Trisha and Stacey would last. Nothing better than
to see a man you don't want taken by your best friend to make you
realize how much you do want him!

And of course Harry is still alive! Cold, maybe...someone will find
him and defrost him, he'll make millions going on the talk show
circuit as the Popsicle Man. But, when would be the worst possible
time for him to appear? After Kate looses all the money Harry left her
on the bad advice Leo gave Louie?

>Let's get some traffic going in this group!

Okay, how's this?

>Deborah (Graham?) - are you still out there? (The Deborah who

Yes! Yes! I'm here. Wow! What a good memory. But then, the first name
was easy, right?

My radio is on a static rampage lately. I have finally figured out
which computer is doing it, and I hae a request in to get my antenna
that is strung up in the suspended ceiling moved to hopefully clear up
the interference. Unfortunately, asking them not to use the computer
from 12:30-2pm (Loving and AMC) would not go over well, the
consessions is that my boss allowed me to ask the Computer Center to
move the antenna (they have the ladders). He keeps saying he'll get to
it, but it's not his top priority. It sure is MINE!
