Hi, it's been awhile since I posted and I've so much to say
that I guess I won't be able to say it all. I finally purchased
a VCR so I am actually watching AMC and it just shows how great
this group is because I know more than I did when I watched
'occassionally'. I am one of the ones who has always liked
Dim and I think he is absolutely gorgous without the facial
hair. I've caught myself drooling more than once so I do
avoid sitting next to the new VCR while watching. I don't 
necessarily like everything about his character but that's the
whole point isn't it. Just shows what a good job he is doing.
I love when he and Stephen are in the same scenes, Ohhh.

I really liked the Nick/Erica proposal but can see where some
might not. Perhaps the affection from those of us that watched
it in the Nick days influences us now. I thought it was a 
wonderfully nostalgic moment and a perfect part of the Nick
and Erica history. I can see how Nick could even get caught up
in old feelings and long for things from the past. I agree
with whoever commented on the genuine feelings that you
could see with the two actors. It was great.

I guess I have become part of the FF crowd and now see
what parts don't hold my attention. I do FF through the current
Halo, Brian, (he bugs the daylights outa me) scenes and haven't
found much of interest in the Glo/Dixie scenes. Even the current
Adam raving scenes are very interesting and I'm a big Adam fan.
I really hope he gets best actor. He has played four parts
and has been great in thm. (i.e. Adam, Stewart, Adam as Stew.
and Stew. as Adam) You could tell that each of them was 
different. He's amazing. His weakest moment was the acting
when he supposedly thought Halo was dead. I also FF through
Nat/Trevor hospital scenes. 

I am also one of the ones that likes Charlie (teeth and all) He
has added some real personality, along with Carter, to the show.
After all, don't we deal with people everyday that don't look
like they could be a soap star?:-) As for the new Loving character
Diana Lee?, anyone that looks that great should at least have
the dignity to be a lousy actress. She'll never outshine
beautiful Erica though. There have been a number of performances
that have been wonderful lately. I was with those that enjoyed
the tearful performances of Dim and Bri, but if Dixie takes his
back, ... she's just as foolish as the women in real life that
I see do the same thing. Arghhh.

Well, even with this, I've a zillion more things to say. Happy
Birthday, to all and hello to bunches of new folks.

Well, personally I think this really stinks.  I hope their budget doesn't
get too much smaller or we'll end up losing the show!  They'll probably
have Robert and Perette (sp?)(thanks for the name everybody!) leave due
to all the hostility they are receiving which also really stinks 
because I think it would have been more interesting to have them stick
it out and not care what people think.

Jenn - Are you
*sure* they're all in PA?  I thought I remembered (when the stuff about
Trucker going to prison for Clay came out) that they  were in MA.  (Maybe
that's just where T went to prison.)  And the Pine Valley CT seems right
to me because of ...I don't know why!!  Maybe because people in PV

Monday and Tuesday shows were superb. Jodie and Reese had so much energy. I
thought that Reese was literally going to explode, he was furious. Of course
I felt bad for Jodie too. I just kept thinking to myself that maybe if she had
told Reese was BJ was still a baby that he would have forgiven her.....but to
wait twenty years......

I loved tuesday's show how Jodie just grabbed Andie and threw her out of the
room. It was great, and Reese didn't even try and stop Jodie from doing it.
Great Stuff.

Thanks, I had heard of underground parties (never attended) but never
heard them called rave parties.  I do watch 90210 and I remember that
episode, but I don't remember if they called it a "party" there or 
not.

Thanks,

                     Update for Monday, October 5


You know, as a comedy, today's show wasn't half bad!

Jason and Karen and Jaeger and Brenda:
  I'll admit it right now. I FF'd all these scenes. They all looked
basically the same though... Karen would talk with Jaeger, Brenda (and
sometimes Jason) would show up. Brenda would flirt with Jaeger, and
Karen would get this expression on her face. (Hereafter referred to as
'the Look(TM)'.) Oh, Jason is on the football team. *shrug*
Nikki and AJ:
  AJ moves in, and is welcomed by his grandparents. Tracy wanders in
to gratuitously insult Nikki, who is also moving in, but finds AJ more
than a match for her sharp tongue. [This was an incredibly funny
scene! More!!!!] Later, Tracy barges in when AJ and Nikki are chewing
face, and snipes some more, then goes down to the library and is
lectured by Edward. Later still, Lila gives AJ "one of the family
diamonds" to give to Nikki, along with a rather rambling story. [Sorry
to say that the actress who plays Lila stumbled through it rather
badly. I've noticed that occasionally she'll muff a line (more often
than is the norm for soaps), but this was the worst yet. Doesn't bode
well.. she is such a marvelous actress, it is sad to see her slipping
this way.] Upstairs, Nikki admires the rock while AJ whispers sweet
nothings into her ear.
Tiffany and Cheryl:
  Tiffany is fretting about Cheryl (her sister, former lover of
Robert, mother of Lucas, who had been stolen and adopted via the black
market by an unknowing Boobie [Lucas was also Robert's son, despite
what Gloria did to a marvelous storyline when she introduced the
Ickerts, but I digress]), who has been in a nasty accident in Phoenix.
Tiff and Sean are waiting to fly out to be there with her. Big Tone
and Boobie come by to sympathize. Tone takes Sean aside and tells him
he has talked to the specialist in AZ.. massive head trauma, doesn't
look good. Boobie flops her bulwark down beside Tiff, and strokes her
anxiety before finally asking [what I knew all along she would] how
Lucas was. [Hmm.. anyone else see where this storyline is headed?]
Tiff tells her mom about Cheryl, and finally heads off to Phoenix.
Tracy and Marco:
  Marco cons a sweet but lonely admissions person at the hospital in
Portland into checking records for Jenny. They find that a girl was
admitted, but under a different name. They start going through old
files trying to see what she was in for.

Stella discovers exactly how deep Roger's feelings for Marlena go.  She
puts into motion a plan which will cause Roman to distrust his wife.

Kim finds the clothing Lacey was wearing when Randy dies and has another
bad childhood flashback.  Shane is still trying to decide whether he should
remain in Salem or take the ISA assignment.  Phillip is so intrigued by
the Randy murder that he is thinking about writing a screenplay based
on it. 

Billie is charged and sentenced for drug possesion.

Lawrence lectures Bo on Katerina's lying ways, telling him that Katerina
has a pattern of lying and that since she lied to Lawrence all those years
Bo should watch out - she's probably lying to Bo, too.

The network picks up Jennifer's show and wants Jennifer back in NYC
pronto - but can the Js return to the Apple with the due date so near?

Izzy wants to return to her homeland to die.  Fearing that John will be
completely crushed after her death, Izzy asks Marlena to provide John a
shoulder to cry on.  There is a party held in Izzy's honor, but John and
Izzy sneak out early to go to Italy even though it is against doctor's
orders.


In other news, a go or nogo on the DOOL spinoff should be coming relatively
soon.  NBC has finally pulled the plug on Santa Barbara - the official
announcement should come this week - and either the spinoff or Bill Bell's
proposed soap will presumably take its place.

It may not be until next week though (along with this week's update),

Hi:  Yesterday I picked up a magazine called "Soap Opera Magazine" that
had a picture of Jenna and Roger on the cover.  I never read it before. 
Anyway, on the GL page it said under the "Remember When" section that 6
years ago (l986) Vanessa was toiling with telling Billy about the
daughter she had to Porter Jones (whoever he is) during her teens. 
Anyway, it went on to say that Billy took comfort by talking to
Roxy--Mindy miscontrued this as an affair and Vanessa and Billy's
marriage crumbled.  None of this sounds even remotely familiar to me at
all and I was watching it during l986 (infact, I have watched it
religiously since 1964-65).  Anyone know this storyline?  What happened
to the daughter?  Maybe it is Jenna and Henry placed her with a family
in England to be raised and now he fears it will all come out!  This
could be it......Judi

Because it is much easier to have an "alt" group created than the
other kind of newsgroups (rats, rat, etc.).  And before someone says,
"Well then, if it's easier to create an alt.group, why don't we create
an alt.soaps.nighttime group????" not everyone can _get_ alt.groups, and
that means that people would be crossposting anyway, so there really wouldn't
be a point to it.  So let's just keep BH, HF, KL, and LGO in this

Did people see my update for monday the 28th?  I didn't see it, and

thrown away my notes.

Could Holly POSSIBLY be any more of a bitch?  She's been downright
psychotic this week.  I think she's on the verge of a major snap.

Also, could Maureen POSSIBLY be more meddlesome?  She really seems
to believe that she has sole rights to everyone's deepest secrets,
and she gets so horribly offended if people don't offer up every
bit of their innermost souls to her.  I kinda like Mo but this drives
me crazy about her.  She needs to learn Ann Landers' MYOB rule!

I can't stand this geek Kat is dating.  What a goof.  Everyone is so
down on David for not liking him... does anyone remember when they
first met in the diner?  Kat was out of earshot and pre-med-boy said
some really unnecessarily nasty things to David.  Of course, he is
too proud to mention this to anyone.  Hopefully Kat is beginning to
see this guy's true colours.  

I miss Sherry Stringfield.  Does anyone know what is next for her?

I really think Eve and Lil should get together!  If even just
platonically.  They have good scenes together and they seem to
understand one another.
