Yeah, let me put on my flame-proof suit here, but I never understood
what all the big deal about Tad is about, either.  The main thing I like
about him is the humor he brings to the show, but "hunk of burning love"
NOT!!!  Too feminine, IMHO.  Now, Jagger on GH, ooooooh BABY!

Totally untrue. In real life they are the best of friends. And in fact
at one point Reckell (before leaving himself) tried to talk her into

Not to flame you, Laura, but "Too, feminine" - NOT, IMHO.
I agree a lot of Tad's appeal is his great sense of humor, I think
most of that is MEK's humor.  Writers can't give you that sense of
timing and expression, the individual brings a lot of that into
the character.  I happen to think MEK is just adorable, too.

Actually, they're replacing it with new episodes of "Jack's Place".  "Matlock"
is going to be put in the 8:00PM time slot, replacing "Delta" and "Room for
Two", which were also shelved.

Personally, I'm pretty upset about this.  I finally found a few shows on
network TV that I felt were worth watching, and three of them (including
HF) have been cancelled/put on hiatus in the last month or so.  Also, I
just started watching HF this season, and have been kicking myself for
not watching it last year.  Now it looks like I won't be watching it next
year, either.

>I eagerly await your responses.  Let's see what we can do to save this show.

Definitely.  If anyone knows who at ABC to write to, and has the proper
address, please post it.

I just thought I would post a brief report about what I know about
the DOOL, NBC response to the SAVE SSH effort.
First, no surprise here, SSH was told nothing. Yep, she even worked
today and not a soul said a thing to her about all the calls and
faxes.
Second, I think we must have had some success.  DOOL turned off
their FAX machine and Susan Lee turned on her answering machine.
Third, the one thing SSH did hear, secondhand, was that Susan Lee
understood that Susan Hayes had been NBC bashing.  Huh?  Did Susan
Lee actually read what Susan Hayes said?  I thought SSH was
extremely gracious.  In any case, I am going to send copies of all
the articles and interviews I have to Susan Lee at NBC.  I would
encourage you all to do the same.  And I think I'll also send a copy
of the letter SSH sent to her fan club members.
Last, but definitely not least, Susan Hayes wants to thank everyone
who called and faxed on her behalf.  It meant a great deal to her.
She really is beginning to realize that what TPTB tell her about her
popularity (or lack thereof) ain't necessarily so.
Lucky SSH is now winging her way to Hawaii to meet her handsome hubby.
He's been on tour in Singapore and Kaula Lampur with "South Pacific."
(Honest!)  She wishes everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
**Razzie 
Who refuses to give up the fight and would love to try this again in
January!  Could we sustain for a whole week?
P.S.  SSH is supposed to have an article in USA Today.  If someone
finds it, could they please post it?  And check TV Guide this week or
next for a Mike Logan editorial.  Thanks again!!

rip-off. They started at 4 and have jacked the price up $3 but pics. of
Tad (only) may be worth it. I wasn't going to bother before. I wonder if

  I most definitely noticed this yesterday, too.  However,
  isn't this new color closer to Dixie's original hair
  color?  In her Tad days, when she had long hair (before
  the hair butchers chopped it all off), I remember 
  it being a reddish brown color.  Then, it seemed like
  she just started to get blonder and blonder.  
  Maybe they are just trying to restore Dixie's hair
  color in preparation for when she meets up with
  Tad again?  After all, the poor guy has no memory.
  Maybe he can only recognize her if she goes back
  to her old hair color :-)

This is what I remember about Julie.  Ellen and Ross wanted to adopt a child,
and they got Julie (the original Julie, with long brown hair, who was in high
school; I think she became prom queen or something). Anyway, at some point
her real mother showed up, and somehow it became known that Mark Dalton was
her real father. (Don't you love how these totally random people who have
never been to PV show up, and it turns out that a regular character is their
real father?  Like Hayley... but I digress.)  She was dating Charlie, but was
feeling competition from Cecily, who was hooked on Charlie.  At some point
during this, Ross had an affair with Natalie, and he and Ellen broke up.
Anyway, Natalie wanted to end the affair, and Ross raped her, which Julie saw
(at some point the brown-haired girl became Lauren Holly), and was traumatized,
so she ran away to New York, and got involved with the evil Creed Kelly
(I think he wanted to make her a prostitute), but Nico (Creed's nephew) saved
her.  She went back to PV, married Nico (but it wasn't a real marriage, I think
the justice of the peace was an actor), but that broke up, and she ended up in
Washington D.C. on some internship.  At some point during all this, Ross went
to prison, Mark and Ellen got married and went away somewhere, and Creed was
killed by Remy.  Also, Nico and Cecily got married.  I think she also had a
thing for Jack sometime between Nico and her departure.

Does this make any sense?

Maybe she had a son who mysteriously disappeared long ago and she

Finally, we find out that it is possible that GetEven is Cabot's kid. 
Now if they would just get on with the storyline, so RoseHand can find
out the truth and run back to MY farm-boy.  ;-P

Time for a reality check on the Court'me and Anus front.  If she was
a real college student, wouldn't she be in the middle of finals right
about now?  I don't know about the rest of you, but for the past week
or so I've been doing nothing but wearing grubby old sweats, eating

Hi, Jeep!
I don't know how to forward this to the mailing list.  Could you do this
for me please?

We went to see the Joan Rivers Show today in New York City. We had to walk
down a very long hallway. Lining the corridor were metal storage cabinets.
Each one was labeled such as the following: Snyder Kitchen, Mona Lisa linens
and tableware, Crawford bedroom, Farmhouse, Barbara's office, Nancy and Mac's
living room, etc. It was really weird to see this. There were also shelves
and shelves of props such as planters. Ron said that he is going to look for
those planters on the show from now on.

We had a really good time at the Joan Rivers Show, especially when one of the 
guests, a male stripper, stripped down to some VERY brief briefs and then sat
with his almost naked rear end on some older woman's lap!!!  Then he took her
camera and shoved it down the front of his bikini and supposedly took a
picture!!  I think Joan was as surprised as the rest of us.

After the show, I was on the way out of the ladies' room, and I ran
smack dab into Cal.  He had a bandage wrapped around his head. I smiled and
said, "Aw, how did you hurt your head, Cal?" (I didn't know the actor's real
name.) He smiled nicely and said, "I crashed my plane." He must have seen the
look of horror on my face, because he said, "Don't worry. I'm fine. I
survived." Then he was gone. What a nice man!

I also have to say that he had a really nice smile, and the camera 
absolutely does not do him justice.  I think he needs a new makeup artist or
something. On the show, he appears to be quite homely. I mean, no way would I
ever want to kiss those cocker spaniel lips. But, in person, he was really
good looking!!

Oh, I almost forgot, I saw Nancy get on the elevator.

I never really liked Terry Lester's portrayal.  He was good in the
part as it was written but I don't think he could`ve pulled off the
part as it is now.  I never thought his compassionate scenes were 
sincere.  I always felt it was a little phoney.  I dunno.....

I think Peter B. is getting better every day.  He is more believable
(to me) in the "sensitive" scenes and when he is up against his enemies.
