Spoilers ahead (and my last SOD didn't arrive in time to post
spoilers... got it 3 days before this one arrived :( )

* Jenna's Discovery
	If you thought that the troublesome A-M/Eleni/Frank triangle
	was finally over, then guess again (bleah).  Sure, Eleni 
	doesn't *trust* A-M anymore, but that doesn't mean she's 
	stopped thinking about him.  Frank senses trouble in paradise.
	And on Monday, November 16, he's looking for answers.  How    
	will Eleni react when he accuses her of still loving A-M?
	Meanwhile, Jenna's in for some news of her own.  On Friday,
	November 20, the flashy ex-con gets some *very* valuable   
	information that changes her life forever. (Could this be
	that Henry is her father... he looked at the photo again 
	and muttered something about the house didn't he?)

And the previews through 11/23:

* When Harley's life is in danger, an unlikely party comes to 
her rescue.

* Blake's stunned to learn from Ross that Roger set her up.

* Vanessa tells Henry that she's suspicious about the convenient
timing of Nadine's pregnancy.

* When Dylan expresses concern over Julie's medical bills, she
assures him that she's fine.

From the Late-Breaking News section:

``MIA No More:  GL Looks for Frank's Shifty Dad''
	It looks like Frank (not to mention Harley and Nadine) is going    
to have some brank-new trouble on his hands.  According to a GL spoke-
person, the show is on the lookout for Frank's shifty MIA dad, Frank
Cooper, Sr.
	Described by insiders as "a silver-tounged devil," Frank, Sr.
is a Vietnam vet who went AWOL.  While his family back home assumed
he was dead, this "soldier of fortune" made a lot of money as a grifter.
Undoubtedly, he'll try to con Springfield residents -- especially 
Nadine, Frank, and Harley.
	Frank, Jr.'s portrayer, Frank Dicopoulos, says he's looking
forward to the character's debut.  "I'm really excited about it," 
Dicopoulos relates.  "But it's an inportant rome so they're taking
their time [casting it.]"  How will his character feel about it?
"Sons pretty much always respect their fathers, and mine was a  
`war hero,'" he says.  "But Harley might resent him for breaking
up the family."  Dicopoulos says he initially suggested the idea
to GL honchos.  "I was always pushing for it," he says.
	While GL cautions that there is still "no projection"
as to when the role will be cast, Rod Arrants (ex-Steven, Y&R,
ex-Richard, DOOL, ex-Travis SFT) reveals he auditioned -- and 
almost made it.  "It's a beautifully written part.  I would 
have moved [to New York] in a second.  But we just couldn't
come to terms on it," he says.  "I really think they wanted 
someone darker and shorter"

``Robin Strasser:  GL's Next Alexandra?''

	When Beverlee McKinsey left earlier this year, everyone
knew it wouldn't be an easy recast.  McKinsey put a stamp on the
devious-but-vulnerable Spaulding matriarch -- her designer shoes     
would be difficult to fill.  Insiders are now saying that the show
may have found the right woman:  Robin Strasser (ex-Racher, AW;
ex-Christina, AMC; ex-Dorian, OLTL).  Rumor has it that she's met
with GL honchos and is considering a daytime comeback.
	A spokesperson for the show confirms that STrasser was
recently spotted making phone calls in GL's green room, but could
not say whether or not she was auditioning.  When asked if his client
is considering the role of Alexandra, Strasser's manager responds:
"At this point we have nothing to say.  But [the rumor] is not
accurate."  Strasser, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of
OLTL's double-dealing Dorian, is one of the many big names bandied
about in industry circles.  GL Casting Director Betty Rae says the
show has received audition tapes from "several wonderful actresses
of [McKinsey's] vintage," but cautions, "We won't be making a 
decision for quite some time.  We'll be going for 'type' in
casting the part."

That's about all the new info.
