show



Todays show was kinda good.  Stacy has writers block and she is in
Truckers motorcycle shop in her full lenght fur coat asking him what
she should do?  He tells her to get into some overalls and get some
grease on her hands.  She does.

Trucker needs to fix a carborator and he ask Stacy to get him a 
Phillips Screw Driver.. he starts to explain wich one it is and Stacy
stops him becaue she took 3yrs of shop.  Trucker laughs...

Stacy notices there is some grease in the Carb' and she is cleaning it
for Trucker..Trucker is stunned/impressed.

As they are working on the Carb' Stacy tells Trucker that TEMPO Magazine
(from AMC) wants her to do a story on the Aldends...history stuff.
she is thinking about it becasue she wants to find out more about
Isabelle

(THIS IS WHER WE WILL FIND OUT THAT CLAY IS NOT CABOTS SON)..(boy I
amaze myself some times)

---

Shanna comes into Jacks office and tells him that a big client has
decided not to go w/ AE..Jack is upset...Shanna tells him that Isabelle
had everything to do w/ the customer canceling.  Jack does not belive her
and Shanna is hurt!  Shanna shows Jack a memo w/ Isabelles signature on it
and Jack appoligiezes to Shanna and they vow to work together on this

Jack goes home to find Stacy in bed reading a book on the Alden history
and Jack gets a call from the customer (a japanese name) and Stacy
informs Jack that Isabelle talked to that man this morning..jack is
upset and Stacy wonders what Isabelle is up to!!

hmmm...could Isabelle be an evil twin?  and Stacy will find out about
the twin in her quest for drit on the Aldens...hmmmmm???

---

Ally went to see Giff for the job!  Ally was even coming on to him.  Giff
did not give her the job becasue she does not know enought about art, but
Ally said she could learn..

taking shots of the palce and Clay plants a big kiss on DL..DL strikes
back w/  a big slap accross Clays face..

    I can't believe Flynn left Corinth!  He is the best one on there!!!!!
    I agree with you Jo, I said the same thing to myself, Ally was so in
    love with Matt, and no one could get in their way, and now all of a
    sudden she wants to be free!  I wonder if she will end up getting the
    job from Giff.  I really like Giff too!!!  Do you think him and Trisha
    are going to get together now?

    I was home Wednesday and saw the show...and there was a something
    with Giff and Tricia that wasn't mentioned here...if it was and
    I missed it I'm soryy
                                                 
    Giff is painting Tricia...she has her hands under her stomach to
    empahasize her pregnancy...Giff is painting and see another woman's
    face in the picture...he jumps back and is upset and tells Tricia
    that he just doesn't "have" it today...she asks what the problem
    is and he doesn't say much...she says for someone who is always
    is curious about about other people lives...he is very secretive
    about his own..he hems and haws for a while and then says something 
    about his wife dying and he show Tricia a painting of her...and
    it's the same face that flashed in his mind when he was painting
    Tricia...and it was the exact same pose..with her hands under her
    stomach..Tricia feels bad for bugging him about his past and mentios
    something about his child..he brights and say the name of the child
    (I don't remember..but it was a boy's name )..and Tricia asks about
    him.. but Giff doesn't answer...

    Looks like Ally is destined to become the new 'town sl*t'.  Oh well, I
    guess her mother drove her to it by divorcing her dad and then moving
    in with a boyfriend. ;')
    
    So, so far she has made out with James, and come on to Giff.  Anyone
    else?  Also, was Ally applying for the job as a nude model that Dinah
    Lee left?  If so, what kind of knowledge about art would she need? :')
    
    Jo

    
    No, the job Ally was applying for is to basically help keep the studio
    in shape and stuff so she would need to now what all the different
    supplies were. Giff also wanted her to know about art in general, like
    that's a Monet, that's a Rembrandt, etc.

    Well, I opened up the Middlesex News TV Guide to find that there is no
    more Upcoming News.  They now have a section called Soap Scoops, which
    just features one person.  I can't believe they took our Upcoming News
    away!!!
    
    Cheryl

    I just called the Middlesex News.  Before I could even get the whole
    thing out, the woman interrupted me and said that the Soap News didn't
    come in this week but would be in next week.  All I asked what who I
    could write to regarding yesterday's TV Guide and she answered with the
    above.  Apparently, they get the column from somewhere else and the
    Middlesex News didn't receive it this week.  She's been getting tons of
    calls.  So, we have to wait for next week's and suffer not knowing
    what's coming up this week.
    
    Cheryl

    According to SPW, Joe Breen (Paul) has been telling people he'll leave
    Loving when his contract is up in April.  About a published report that
    he's joining the cast of As the World Turns, executive producer
    Laurence Caso tells SPW:  "We have heard Joe Breen's contract on Loving
    is up and we are in the very preliminary stages of exploring the
    possibility of him coming on our show."
    
    Sneak Peaks:
    
    This week:
    
    Trucker spins his wheels when he realizes who Dinahlee is taking to the
    Valentine's pary.  Trisha admits to Trucker the she wants to reconcile
    with Clay, but fears involvement with her father would only muddy her
    life.  When a medical problem takes Michael, Paul and Carly to New
    York, Ava wonders whether the trio will return as a family.  Dinahlee
    is impressed when Clay plays Mr. Home Improvement.  With one man out of
    her life, Ally starts to notice another.  Giff is afraid of playing
    midwife.
    
    Next week:
    
    Gwyn continues to do battle with Clay.  Trucker misses the big event. 
    Ally pursues an older man.
    
    Cheryl

    Lou

    where have all the noters gone?  i wish i could give an update but i
    haven't seen the show since last friday.
    
    does anyone have one?
    
    i can't believe that alley is going after giff!  his son is her age,
    remember him saying that he was 18?  i bet he will sleep with her and
    his son will come walking in or something.  i still thought that he
    would eventually end up with dl but it looks like she is going to fall
    for clay.  which we all knew would happen but for more then one night? 
    puleeze.
    
    well, if anyone can give an update (bub?) we would all appreciate it!
    thanks in advance,
    
    
    cj

    I am here today, but I haven't seen the show in a coon's age (just love
    that expression! Heard it on Loving, Kate said it).  Wish I could help. 
    Last time I saw Loving, Michael had just been rushed to the hospital.
    
    Jo

    
    just a quick Hello!  I have been watching, but I can't get in long 
    enought to do an update.  I will put in one this weekend from home.
    
    bye everyone.
    
    Lou

    cj and the rest I will try and give an update it has been alright
    lately with the Valentine's Day stuff at the bowling alley.
    
    Here is the update......
    
    Dinah Lee is having a good time at the Valentine's Day party
    with Clay.  They are making jokes back and forth and seem to
    be enjoying themselves. *^)
    
    As the two of them are talking the guy that she went out with
    that one time (forget his name) the senators son comes up to
    her and says he can go out with her now since his father is
    not running anymore, she tells him to take a flying leep!!!!!!!
    
    Clay tells her good job and Dinah Lee goes to the shop where
    Trucker is working and she is there for Arthur.  She tells
    Trucker she is once again still interested in him and he
    tells her he is happily married to Trisha.
    
    Trucker tells her that Trisha is in Washington with Giff,
    but when she gets back they are going to be even happier.
    
    Dinah Lee does not seem convinced as she tells him she won't
    give up on him.  Just then Arthur comes in and tells her DL
    he is ready to go wit her and he gave her a corsage.  He
    couldn't pin it on her, cause he says he never did that
    before, so she put it on her wrist.
    
    He truely acted slightly geeky, but it was still cute to
    see her with him.  He was sooooooo excited that he was
    going with her.  When they got there Clay was watching
    her with him.
    
    Gwen showed up there and was disguised as a women in
    the 60's with a wig on chewing gum with a low cut top
    and was trying to bowl.  Some guy was showing her how
    to as she was chomping on her gum.  That was a riot.
    
    She was talking to the guy that she originally had
    trash the placed and she says she had come up with a
    plan that should work.  It ends where she had all of
    the electricity go out!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Trisha and Giff are together and they are talking as
    he is painting her and she is asking him to talk more
    about her past.  Just when they are talking to bends
    down holding her stomach and looking startled.
    
    Giff wonders what is wrong and she says it was a real
    contraction and she thinks it is time to have the baby
    Giff looks alarmed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That was the end.
    
    Can't wait to see if Trisha has the baby today. *^)

    Thanks Lou

    Update for Loving for sameday 2/14........
    
    Gwen manages to make the power go off and Clay and Dinah Lee
    are worried because the power is off.  Clay is getting more
    worried as he tells Dinah Lee he is giving up on trying to
    get it back on since the phone lines were even cut.
    
    Dinah Lee told him that he told her not to give up so,
    don't he give up.  Gwen is in the back with Ted and is
    telling him if you want to get a job done you have to
    do it yourself as she tells him she did it!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Arthur is with Dinah Lee and all of a sudden he can't
    breathe his asthma is acting up.  He calls Trucker and
    is panicing as he tells him he has to come and give him
    his medicine he left it in the shop.
    
    Trucker tells him he will come over.  When he gets there
    Dinah Lee is with him talking to him.  Arthur admits
    that he is having this attack cause she is such a very
    attractive women and doesn't belong here with her.
    
    Trucker shows up and feels very uncomfortable when he
    sees Dinah Lee there and wants to give the medicine 
    to Arthur and run.  Arthur finally takes it and starts
    to get his breath back as he tells Dinah Lee he is
    sorry, but he is leaving.
    
    He runs out and then Dinah Lee is asking him why he
    is leaving he has to fix the fuse box.  He tells her
    to have Trucker fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Dinah Lee begs Trucker to stay and he tells her he
    can't and she knows it.  She has got to find someone
    else, she tells him there is noone and to please
    help her since this means everything to her.  
    
    She then says if he ever cared for her he will stay
    and help her.  He says he did care for her, but where
    did it get him.  He tells her he is waiting for a call
    from Trisha and has to be there.  He then tries to walk
    out and he can not open the door it is locked and stuck!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    He tells her if she planned this and she says no she
    didn't.  He keeps trying to get the door open, but
    he can't get it open.  
    
    Meanwhile Trisha is at the hospital and they tell her
    she is about to go into Labor she tells the nurse she
    can't be it is toooooooooo early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Giff is there and is very worried as he tries Gwen and
    he can't get through to her and he goes back to Trisha
    and she is about to go in the delivering room and asks
    him to be there with him.
    
    Giff agrees and said he promises he would be there.
    He is standing by her side and she is getting a bit
    upset and is having flashbacks to when he was in the
    delivery room with his wife.
    
    Back at the bowling alley Clay realizes that Gwen 
    had something to do with it when he finds Gwen in 
    the other room.  The lights go back on and Gwen is
    about to leave when Clay stops her.
    
    He bring sher out on the dance floor and she tries
    to get away, but ends up dancing with him for a bit
    and then pulls away.  Clay tells her while he is
    dancing with her that she has been a bad girl. He
    says she could have done something more creative,
    messing with the fuse box!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Gwen admits to him that she did it and then says
    that Ted was in on it to.  Clay says looks like 
    your scheme backfired.  He says there is noway
    that you or anyone else is gonna stop us.  
    
    Clay then asks her as she pulls away from him if she
    has forgot how to have fun?!?!?!?!?  He then says to
    her is that why your artists friend dropped you.
    She is about to hit him as he kisses her hand and
    says he could help her find someone new there is
    plenty of men on the bowling leagues that might
    be interested in her!!!!!!!! *^)  She runs out!!!!!
    
    That was about it for today.  Pretty good one. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    
    

    Thanks for the update!
    
    question behind spoiler...
    
    
    Did Giff's first wife die while in childbirth or something?  Why is he
    having flashbacks and what are the flashbacks of??
    
    If Tricia waits until Monday to give birth, it will be just like when I
    was born.  My mom went into labor on Valentine's day and had me on the
    17th. :')   
    
    Jo

    Jo-->>  Answer to spoiler ???????
    
    Giff is having flashbacks of his wife being Trisha.  They
    were both screaming and he was picturing his wife as he
    was holding her hand just like Trisha's.
    
    My guess would be that she did die after giving birth.
    I am not real sure.  They only showed that one scene
    with her screaming and giving birth, but didn't show
    anything else.
    
    Maybe Monday they will show alittle more.  It was real
    interesting though.  I wonder if this will bring Trisha
    and Giff together somehow?!?!?!?!??!?
    
    It appears that Trucker and Dinah Lee keep ending up
    together somehow.  I sure hope they don't end up
    being together I would rather see Dinah Lee and Clay. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Is anyone out there today?!?!?!??!  I keep checking in the
    file and noone has been in. *^)
    
    I can't wait to see what is going to happen with Dinah Lee
    and Trucker being locked in the room.  I also can't wait
    to see what happens with Trisha having her baby, since
    Giff is the one that is helping her makes it even more
    interesting. *^)
    
    Clay was [[really]] funny Friday with Gwen.  I was laughing
    at him when he pulled her on the dance floor and kindof
    made her dance with him.  He has a neat way about himself
    that I like, I do however have to block out the fact
    that he was Travis on AMC though. *^)
    
    More later. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    i am here today.  i read upcoming news and guess what?
    
    
    
    
    trisha has a healthy baby boy!!! she also finds out that she delivered
    without trucker because he was with dl so she takes the baby from the
    hospital and runs away.  i guess trucker will be trying to find her. 
    also, it said that the senator's son (or whatever he is) is going to
    set his sights on alley when dl tells him to get lost.  i can't
    remember anything else.
    
    i also have a somewhat hard time trying to block out travis in clay but
    believe that larkin plays a better clay then travis.
    
    imho, i think that the pins set is tacky.  did you see the women that
    clay was dancing with besides gwyn?  either they are trying to make dl
    and gwyn out as dynamite looking women or they had a tough time draggin
    up some women to play those parts.  just my opinion of course.
    
    oh, remembered some more upcoming news.  carly decides to stay in new
    york permanently with michael.  paul wants to either move there too or
    visit and carly tells him no because she is still in love with him. 
    the next week thing says that paul has alot of thinking to do.  now, i
    remember hearing something about him leaving and that would be a good
    idea for him to leave but what about carly?  i didn't think she was
    leaving.  i hope they bring flynn back for ava now. 
    
    see you!  (hey tracy, got an update for today?) 
    
    cj

    	Great update Tracey...I watched really quick on Friday, so your
    	update came in handy this morning when I read it...
    
    	I completly missed the part where Trucker is locked in the room
    	with DL...
    
    	I can't get used to Travis being Clay...it's too weird...

    	Alexis

    I will give you guys a sameday update for those of you who want
    to know.........Here it is update for 2/17
    
    Trisha is trying very hard to delivery the baby as Giff still
    continues to have flashbacks of him being in the delivery room
    with his wife.
    
    Trisha is having a very difficult time and at one point it
    didn't sound to good when they said the babies heartrate
    was dropping.  Trisha was screaming for Trucker and was just
    worried for her baby.
    
    Giff is very upset over this and goes to take a moment
    to get his composure back as Trisha is screaming for him
    to come back.  The nurse goes to get him as he continues
    to think back about his wife's experience delivering
    there baby.
    
    Giff tells Trisha that he was there for his wife while
    she was haivng his son, and she made it.  He says you
    need to try real hard to deliver this baby.  She does
    do just that, she has a baby boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Trisha was sooooooooooo happy to have Giff there and
    lets him know it.  She now has to come up with a
    name.
    
    Dinah Lee and Trucker are locked in the room and now
    Dinah Lee begins to feel uncomfortable pounding on the
    door and screaming for Arthur.  Trucker convinces
    her that there is noone out there to help her.
    
    Trucker then starts talking to her about how she should
    not be working with Clay because he is no good guy.
    Dinah Lee says she enjoys working with Clay and he
    is her only friend she has got.
    
    Trucker tells her he is no good and she shouldn't trust
    him.  She says he has become a good friend to her and
    knows that he won't hurt her. Trucker tells her not
    to believe him.  
    
    Dinah Lee starts to complain about her feet hurting 
    due to being in her high heel shoes.  Trucker tells
    her to take her shoes off and nylons and he will give
    her a leg massage to help the pain.
    
    Trucker starts rubbing her leg and Clay opens the
    door and has a fit!!!!!!!!!! Trucker runs out and
    can't believe he saw what he thinks he saw.
    
    Clay then starts to yell at Dinah Lee for being
    with his daughters husband.  Dinah Lee tries to
    explain telling him it isn't what he thinks it
    is.  Clay didn't believe her and she runs away
    as Clay is trying to stop her telling her that
    he wasn't finished talking to her!!!!!!!
    
    They had Carly on with Paul, Ava and Michael, but
    I missed some of that.
    
    That was about it. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    Well I gotta chance to watch Loving last night on the parts
    I missed with Ava, Paul and Carly so here is the rest of 
    the update for 2/17..........
    
    Carly and Paul are talking and Paul is telling her that
    Michael likes having a mom and a dad and he thinks that
    they are doing a good job.  Paul tells Carly that Michael
    told him that he really liked when they went skating in
    New York and won't forget what a great experience it
    was.
    
    Carly is about to leave when Paul puts his hand on her
    hand and tells her to stay.  They start to talk and
    Ava comes in and is crying to Paul that she has to
    talk to him.  She tells him she is upset because her
    son, Sandy went back to his dad is Seattle.
    
    Paul and Carly try to convince Ava that she is a 
    good mother and not to worry about him.  Just then
    Michael comes out of his room and asks for Paul to
    come in his room, so he does.
    
    Ava starts to talk to Carly how she feels she is in
    love with Paul and it is written all over her face.
    Carly denies it, but Ava doesn't believe her.  Carly
    then makes mention to Ava that she, Michael and Paul
    are maybe going to live in New York when Michael goes
    for his counseling.
    
    Ava is upset and says that is just what she wants to
    have Paul to herself.  Paul comes out of the room and
    wants to know what is going on and they say it is
    sister-talk.  Ava then tells Paul that they are going
    to be on another floor tonight in there own private
    room.
    
    Paul asks Ava what happens if Michael needs him, she
    says Carly can get him in the room number she left.
    They leave and Michael comes out and asks where
    Paul went.  She says with Ava where she belongs.  Michael
    says he wishes Paul was there with them.
    
    That was about it now.

    I am alone again today to, I am talking to myself. *^)
    
    I wanted to say that I do see Clay and Dinah Lee working
    there way up to having a relationship.  I think she is
    starting to fall for him and he seems to be heading that
    way also.
    
    After seeing her get real upset with Clay jumping to
    the wrong conclusion about DL and Trucker he will have
    to really apologize to her and I am sure she will not
    forgive him right away.  I would like to see them two
    get together, meaning Clay and DL.
    
    They seem like a odd couple, but they work well together
    and will make for a interesting storyline with the Alden
    Family. *^)  
    
    I didn't think the writers would make Carly and Paul be
    together, but it seems as though they are headed that
    way too.  They will become one big happy family and
    Ava will be left out in the cold. *^)
    
    Loving will need to get some more men, cause who will
    Ava have?!?!?!?!?!?  There aren't many left now, and
    now since Flynn left there is even one more less. 
    
    
    Tracey
    

    you are not alone tracy, i am here today too.  i agree with you that dl
    and clay will make a good match and are heading in that direction. 
    remember when some people commented about giff and tricia getting
    together.  don't the writers think that tricia has been with enough men
    that has been with her mother.  i mean really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    that would be too much.  i don't think that trucker and dl are over yet
    though.. something is bound to happen but what????
    
    i too am bummed about carly and paul getting together.  are we sure
    that paul is leaving?  what about carly????  and bring back flynn for
    pete's sake.  (bub, don't you think he looks like a bigger phil
    holmes?)  anyways... i still think that he will be back when he finds
    out about carly and paul.  probably to pick the pieces up for ava and
    maybe they will fall in love and by then paul will realize that he
    doesn't love carly and she will leave to come home and find them
    together!  i would love that!
    
    what is up with ally lately?  
    
    tracy, are you going to give us an update in a half hour?? :) (hint
    hint)
    
    
    cj

    Hi Everyone,
    
    I've been real busy and I'm working on a project that has me off-site
    most of the time.  Sorry I haven't been contributing much and I won't
    be able to contribute very much in the future.  I'll get in here when I
    can though.
    
    I did get to see yesterday's show (home sick) and I was really touched
    with the scenes with Trisha and Giff.  I was practically yelling at the
    TV that they couldn't let her lose another baby.  I'm so glad she had a
    healthy boy (looked a little large for a premature birth, but that's
    soaps!).
    
    One thing that kept bugging me was when Giff tried to call people from
    a public telephone and he dialed directly!  He was calling long
    distance and didn't give a credit card number, call collect, or
    anything.  Drove me nuts.  But again, that's the soaps for ya!
    
    One thing I want to mention that I think was missed in the update
    (although I skimmed it quickly so sorry if I'm repeating).  In the
    flashbacks Giff had of his wife Elise, she died after giving birth to
    their son, Rebel.  So, that's why it upset him so much to be in the
    delivery room.  He helped her through her labor and delivery, helped to
    deliver a healthy baby, and then he was helpless to save her and she
    died while he was holding her hand.  Those memories are obviously very
    painful to him.  I think they did a nice job introducing his background
    like they did.  First he had the flashbacks of Elise while painting
    Trisha and then the flashbacks during the delivery.  It was a nice way
    to bring it out.
    
    Oh, Trisha also asked Giff to be the Godfather!  I thought that was
    really nice.  I hope they don't drag out Trucker searching for Trisha
    for very long.  I hope he can convince her that nothing was going on
    with him and DL.  Let these two be happy and enjoy their baby!
    
    OK, I gotta get back to work now.  Don't know when I'll get in again. 
    Keep this file going!!
    
    Linda

    Thanks Linda for mentioning the scenes with Giff.  I saw it
    again last night and realized what those dreams he was having
    was about.  It was neat the way they showed the scene with he
    and his wife.
    
    Here is the update for 2/18........
    
    Trisha is talking to Giff and wishing that Trucker was there
    to share in there joy of there new baby.  Trisha is wondering
    where he is.  
    
    Trucker finally gets the message from the machine from Giff
    and is very frantic as he dials Trisha and learns that he
    had a baby boy.  Trisha is very excited to hear his voice 
    and begins to cry.
    
    She tells Trucker that she wanted him to be there for the
    birth of there child.  He says he wanted to be there, but
    got locked in the room with DL and then Trisha gives him
    no time to explain and tells him that it is over and is
    crying in his ear and slams the phone down!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Trucker tries to keep dialing, but keeps getting a busy
    signal.  Giff comes back in the room and Trisha tells him
    it is over for her and Trucker since he cheated with DL!!!!!
    Giff says you have to let him explain call him back.
    
    She says no I can't believe I trusted him again.  She says
    that Giff has got to help her get away with her baby so
    noone can find her.
    
    Meanwhile DL is explaining to Clay that what happened was
    all innocent.  She explains the whole story and starts to
    leave since she thinks he doesn't believe her, but he says
    he does.
    
    He tells her he is sorry and tries talking to her about
    business.  She tells him she wants nothing to do with Pins
    since all it is is bills.  She is about to leave when clay
    gets out a bottle of champagne and tells her he is celebrating
    the victory.
    
    He tells her he made 6,000.00 dollars and she is sooooooooo
    happy that she says what do you mean you made 6,000 it is
    we.  She tells him to shut-up and pour her a glass and 
    they both toast the success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Gwen is telling Isabelle about what happened at Pins saying
    that Clay forced her out on the dance floor and made her
    feel stupid.  Isabelle was laughing at what happened and
    Gwen told her is wasn't funny.  
    
    That was about it.
    
    
    Tracey
     
    

    
    Thanks Tracey!!
    
    The reason for Trisha leaving is probelly so she can have her real
    baby in real-life!  She is due the end of Februray..
    
    Louisa

    
    
    	Thanks for the update Tracey...don't worry your not alone in
    	this file...
    
    	cj...Flynn looks a like a bigger Phil, now that you mention it!
    
    	I miss Flynn already...there's no one to look at now...
    
    	I'm sick of this DL and Trucker thing, and Clay...all these
    	story lines are the same, just different characters...

Cheryl

    
    
    IMHO:
    
    	This storyline with Trucker and DL is killing me!!!  I mean, if you
    knew that your wife was sensitive to you being with another woman (that
    you had an affair with, mind you) why would you rub/massage her feet
    just because they are sore????????  Take off your shoes, girl, and rub
    them yourself!!!!  I can't understand Trucker saying that he luvs
    Trisha so much but then he keeps messing up like this and doing really
    stupid things with DL!  It looks to me that he really wants to be with
    Trisha because of everything they have been through but that DL still
    excites him.
    
    	Okay, I feel better now!  Can't wait to see Tracey's update today!!
    
    Lisa
    

    IMHO too:
    
    I've never had a baby, so I don't know how a woman's hormones react in
    these situtations, but I thought Trisha's reaction was too much to
    Trucker.  Why would he even bother mentioning it if it wasn't innocent. 
    He would have kept it from her.
    
    So now, she's going off with a brand new baby, about 2 hours old, an
    overnight bag and no firm plans.  Not very realistic IMHO.  They could
    have handeled the actress's leave of absence more realistically by just
    mentioning her from time, but not showing her.  This running off is
    pretty far-fetched, IMHO.  
    
    Loving has a history of having us believe things that really have no
    basis.  Like the Ava/Paul thing.  Carly was really not showing that she
    loved Paul, but now, all of a sudden, she loves Paul, just because they
    (the writers) need to prove Ava right.  
    
    Other than that, I like the show!!!! :')  It's a great "getting ready
    for work" soap.
    
    Cheryl

    Here is the update for 2/19.....
    
    Kate and Louie decide to get rid of the pie shop.  Ally and
    all of them are happy that they are doing this.  They all 
    have decided that they don't like the business anymore.
    
    The three of them are all excited as they begin throwing
    pies in each others faces while laughing. *^)
    
    Paul tells Ava that he is going to be going to New York
    to be with Michael while he is going through his treatment
    and he wants Ava to go there with him.
    
    She feels that he really doesn't want her to go, but he
    explains that he does.  She finally tells him after he
    tells her that he wants to have kids with her, she tells
    him that is never going to happen.
    
    Paul is shocked at first then he tells her there is nothing
    he can do about it, even though she lied to him about the
    fact he couldn't have children.  Paul then tells her that
    this was her ace in the hole and that she is jealous 
    cause of Carly and he having a child.
    
    Ava says that they have so much of you.  He tells her but
    she has his love.  Ava tells him that she use to have 
    all of him.  He tells her he is not going to choose now
    between his son and her.
    
    Ava tells him that he is asking her to choose to either
    move to New York, or she is out in the cold.  He tells
    her that he has a son and now that he has found out
    about him and he will be his only son he is not gonna
    loose him.
    
    He then tells Ava that he and Carly will both be parents
    to Michael and he says that the question is will you
    be able to accept that and he says he doesn't think
    she ever will.
    
    Ava tells him she doesn't think she can.
    
    Trucker is on his way to see Trisha when he gets pulled
    over for speeding then puts up such a fight that he ends
    up in jail.  He tries telling the guy in the prison why
    he was acting that way, but he isn't sure if he believes
    him.
    
    The guy checks out his story and lets him go telling him
    he is still responsible for his ticket though.  Trucker
    gets to the hospital and sees the nurse in Washington
    that delivered Trisha's baby.
    
    Trucker asks if everything is alright and she says it
    is.  Trucker wants to see Trisha, but the nurse says
    she is gone.  She tells him that she and Giff left
    and said they were going to go where she can take
    care of her baby.  Trucker is shocked as he says you
    mean she left with Giff!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    That was about it.

    comments behind spoiler:
    
    
    
    
    Okay, come on guys.  Do you really believe that Kate and Louie are just
    going to get rid of the pie shop??  Did they already find out about the
    inheritance?  I thought they were having all these money problems. 
    Why would they sell their only means of income?
    
    And, who would destroy all that product like that?  Pies are their
    business, they take money to make.  They were really tossing them
    around?  
    
    I find this part a little difficult to believe.  I can see them tossing
    pies around if they just found out they inherited millions, but I can't
    see them doing it just because they decided to get rid of the pie shop. 
    Oh, and did they say they are going to sell it or what?
    
    Jo

    JO-->> Comments on todays update......
    
    There was a man in the shop before they decided to get rid
    of it and I didn't hear that part of it. I thought he
    was asking them for money and Louie had poured some
    water of some kind in his face and told him to leave
    after they had words.
    
    I don't know the exact reason why the man was there.
    Maybe cause they needed to pay something.  They did
    however, decide they were gonna sell it.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    The man who was in the pie shop was the shop's owner he refused to
    extend their lease and let them go to a month to month tenancy, so
    Louie was totally fustrated and shoved a pie in this guy's face.  After
    the guy left, Louie apologized to Kate and told her they'd find a way
    to stay in their current location until they could find a new place and
    Kate said no she was sick of it all then that's when the pies started
    to fly.
    
    /red_who_is_really_totally_bored_with_this_show!!!!

    
    I'm with you /red...I'm starting to get bored with it too!  I've
    been just reading Tracey's updates and not going home and watching
    it like I usually do...nothing exciting is happening, it's soooooo
    boring...
    
    /red...did you find a job?  How's Bonnie doing?
    
    Alexis

    I will give a quick update for today, not much happened today
    Here it is......
    
    Trucker is upset when he realizes that Trishia is really gone
    and goes to see Gwen and Isabelle.  They both are real excited
    when they learn Trisha had a baby boy, but aren't happy when
    they learn that she has run off.
    
    Trucker tries explaining to them that it was not what they
    are thinking when they think it was because of Dinah Lee.
    He explains the story to them and they are upset thinking
    that he should have known better than to make the same
    mistakes!!!!!!!
    
    Trucker tells them the whole story and they ask if he had
    explained it to Trisha.  He says he tried and she wouldn't
    listen and hung up on him.  They tell him that he should
    have learned that this would have upset her.
    
    He tells them that he thought he should tell her the
    truth but now wishes he would have lied.  Gwen tells
    him that she doesn't care about all of this right now
    she just wants to find Trisha!!!!!!!
    
    Trucker says I have tried the Dr.'s office since the
    hospital says she left to go back to her own doctor.
    Gwen says why would Trisha take a one day old baby 
    and just disappear?!?!??!?!?!?
    
    Trucker says if you find Giff you will find her.  Gwen
    is surprised to hear he was with her.  She says he
    must be at class.  She calls the school and they say
    they haven't heard from him at all and he didn't even
    call.
    
    Gwen is worried and says she has to find her.  Isabele
    tells Trucker if she had her way he would have never
    married her and then never got to have her back!!!!!!!
    Trucker is upset.
    
    Kate and Louis have a discussion when Kate tells Louie
    that she has 1 million dollars from Harry her brother's
    Will.  Louie is upset and wonders why she kept that from
    him.  
    
    She explains to him that she didn't know and she finally
    gets him to believe her.  They make up and are happy
    that they are into some money.
    
    That was about it. 
    
    Tracey
     
    
    

    
    
    	Thanks for the update Tracey...
    
    	I know it seems like no one is around to read it, but believe
    	me, everyone reads it...
    
    	Must be hard to keep watching huh?  It's so boring compared to
    	AMC...that's getting good and loving is going downhill!!
    
    	Alexis

    
    I will explain a little about Kates $$$
    
    A long time ago (a year I think)  Kates brother Harry was repoted dead
    but no body was found.  Kate got alot of $$ in his will (he won it
    gambling)  she thought Harry would come back so she invested the $$
    for Harry..well..it's been 2yrs soap time since his death and the
    $$ is all hers even the investement....  Kate finally excepts the
    death of her brother and she is happy about the $$
    
    My hubby thinks Trisha and Giff are at the commune! (sp) but then agan
    Stacy was looking at the floor plans for all the Alden's houses and she
    finds a attack in the Tides that no one knows is there...who is in 
    the attack?
    
    Lou

    I have a question about Stacy finding the floor plans for Tides.  What
    did she say when she was looking at them?  Something I didn't know that
    the tides had???????.  Thanks
    
    Cheryl

    Here's upcoming news for next week.  My SPW came early this week.
    
    A visit from Trucker make Giff realize he had it all wrong about his
    former foe.  Paul comes to a decision about Michael's future living
    arrangements.  Ava and Paul discuss the problem that constantly brings
    them together with Carly.  Stacey searches for clues as she probes into
    the Alden family history.  Trisha  sends words of assurance to her
    loved ones.  Isabelle and Gwyn vow to fight fire with fire as far as
    Jack and Shana's places at Alden Enterprises are concerned.  Ally's
    interest in Giff grows stronger, much to Gwyn's disgust.
    
    Next Week:  Dinah Lee has a surprise visitor en route to Corinth. 
    Stacey and Trucker join forces.
    
    Cheryl

    Cheryl  ---> An attic room.
    
    /red

    Cheryl, I think when she was looking at the floor plans, she said
    that she didn't know about the attic, or some room that she didn't
    know was there...
    
    Alexis

    Thanks Alexis and /red.  I couldn't understand what she was saying!!
    
    Cheryl

    Upcoming News:
    
    Once Giff realizes nother happened between Trucker and Dinah Lee he's
    sorry Trisha took the baby and ran.  Paul decides to retrun to Corinth
    and Ava, while Carly takes Michael to New York.  Trucker reads Trisha's
    letter and learns their relationship is over.  Giff also brings letters
    from Trisha to Gwyn and Isabelle.  Ava teases Ally about her crush on
    Giff.  Clay and Dinah Lee toast to new beginnings and letting go. 
    Dinah Lee's sister, Hannah, is heading for Corinth.  After catching
    Trucker and Stacey looking for that secret room, Isabelle wants Trucker
    to move out of the Tides, but Stacey urges him to stay put.
    
    Next:  Stacey and Trucker keep snooping.  Hannah makes her presence
    known.
    
    Cheryl

    
    
    	Wow...some of the upcoming news sounds pretty good...
    	That's surprising!!  I wonder what DL's sister is going to
    	look like...
    
    	They probably had Trisha take off so she can go out on leave for
    	the baby...she will probably be gone for a few weeks...
    
    	Alexis
    

    The upcoming does look pretty interesting.  I can't wait
    until we see Dinah Lee's sister.  I wonder how she will
    look, like someone mentioned.  I bet she is going to be
    pretty, cause Dinah Lee sure is.
    
    The show is pretty dull right now, I am waiting for it
    to pick up. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    I thought that when Dinah Lee talked about her family she was always
    talking about being the only girl with a whole lot of brothers? 
    Remember when Jack was commenting on how she knew a lot about baseball
    and cars?
    
    Does anyone have an update?  I am weeks and weeks behind on my tapes.
    
    Jo

    Jo-->>  I didn't catch all of yesturday's but I can fill you in
    on what I saw.
    
    Trucker gets a letter from Giff since Giff has returned to
    Corinth.  The letter is from Trisha saying that she has went
    away and don't try to find her.
    
    She says it is over between her and Trucker and don't try
    to find her.  Dinah Lee is there when Trucker is reading
    the letter.  Trucker runs out after he reads this and
    Dinah Lee wants to go after him, but Giff holds her back
    and says that is not a good idea.
    
    Giff hears the whole story from Trucker as well as Dinah Lee
    about what happened and he does feel bad that Trisha thinks
    the way she does about Trucker.
    
    Carly and Paul have a talk and he is confused about what
    to do about going to New York.  Ava comes back in and they
    stop talking about Carly's feelings towards him.
    
    That is about all I caught.
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    Update for 2/25....
    
    Giff goes to Gwen and gives her the letter that Trisha left for
    her.  She is upset with Giff for helping her leave Corinth with
    a newborn baby.  Isabele is also upset when she learns what has
    happened.
    
    Isabele tells him if he doesn't tell where Trisha is then he
    should just pack his bags and paint elsewhere.  He doesn't
    care about the threat and leaves.
    
    Stacy tells her she shouldn't have threatened him like that.
    She tells her and Gwen it was Trisha who wanted it this way.
    
    Paul and Ava went to New York to make sure that Michael and
    Carly are settled in.  Carly says goodbye to Paul and they
    both seem upset at him not staying.
    
    On the way back to Corinth Paul is asleep on the train and
    is having a dream that he and Carly are together as he wakes
    up and sees Ava instead of Carly.  He is concerned about
    what he just dreamed, but doesn't say anything to Ava.

    I just wanted to share this with you.
    
    I met someone on Friday who is friends with one of the writers of
    Loving.  She asked me tons of questions about what I thought of the
    show.  Of course, I shared my thoughts of which characters I liked, the
    storylines I liked and disliked, etc.  She was very glad I did this and
    said she would pass it along to her friend.  She asked me how I like
    the new Clay (I do, he's got a comic slant to him).  Actually, we went
    through every storyline and every character in the show.  Hopefully, I
    get to talk with her again.  I gave her my phone number and told her to
    pass it along to her friend if she wanted to. 
    
    I also got some "dirt" on upcoming storylines and behind the scenes
    stuff:
    
    
    Paul is definitely leaving and they are now paving the way for it.  (We
    knew that).  
    
    Jack is going to start drinking again, along with his workalcoholism.
    
    When the new head writer came in, she was the one who decided to have
    Trisha run away again.  The other writers told her that it had already
    been done, but the head writer decided to do it again.  The others were
    not too pleased with the decision.

    Thanks Cheryl!  that is great!  I wish I could meet a friend of a
    writer for the show.  I to hope you get to meet her again.
    
    Thanks for the news on the storielines to.  I will be sorry to see
    Paul go, but Ava needs to be away from him.
    
    Lou

    Here is the update for 2/26......
    
    Paul is talking to Ava about how bad he feels for leaving
    New York.  He accidently says he feels like he shouldn't 
    of left THEM.  Ava asks him why he feels like he shouldn't
    of left them, instead of just Michael.
    
    Paul tells her that is what he meant, leaving Michael.  Ava
    asks him if he is glad that he came back with her.  He tells
    her yes.  She wants to know what the problem is because
    she feel he has changed.
    
    He admits to her that Carly told him that she is in love with
    him and Ava is not happy.  She tells Paul that she knew that
    she was wouldn't admit it to her.  Paul tells her that Carly
    told him that Ava suspected that she was in love with Paul.
    
    Ava wants to know if he is in love with Carly.  Paul says
    no he's not.  She is happy to hear that and they hug each
    other.
    
    Giff is looking at some of Ally's art work that she has
    supposedly done and is impressed with it.  He tells her
    that he didn't realize how talented she was.  Giff asks
    her if she has experience with oil painting and she
    acted like she didn't know what he was talking about.
    
    Ally told him that she didn't know how to do that.  She
    leaves there and she is shown talking to someone I 
    believe it was her paying someone to give her some
    drawings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Giff is finishing Trisha's portrait he drew of her and
    is getting upset saying to himself that he wishes she
    would call him.  He is not happy that she hasn't called
    yet.
    
    Dinah Lee goes to Truckers to bring him some food and
    to try to comfort him, really just to be his friend.  He
    tells her she is the last person he wants to see right
    now.  
    
    She tells him he has to eat and she is just there for
    him if he needs her.  She is a bit upset about his mean
    reaction to her being around and Stacey walks in with
    some food for him also.
    
    He is upset with both of them as he throws what he is
    making for the baby to the ground yelling at the two
    of them that he doesn't need food or babying from the
    two of him.
    
    They both stand there and look confused as Trucker then
    realizes he was wrong for acting that way.  He says he
    didn't want to ruin what he was making cause it was
    for the baby.  Stacey asks him what it was and he says
    it was a playhouse and he will fix it.
    
    Stacey then sit with him and tries to comfort him and
    he says he is upset and wants Trisha back.  Dinah Lee
    leaves then.

    QUESTION:
    
    So did Noelle Beck (I think that's her name in real life) - Trisha -
    have a baby in real life??  I thought she just had a baby not that
    long ago???  
    
    julie

    Yes, she did have a baby about a year ago a girl named Forrest, this is 
    baby number two...I don't think she's had it yet.
    
    /red

    Update for 2/27......
    
    Trucker goes to see Giff and Giff tells him he was just thinking
    about him.  He tells him that Trisha and the baby were doing
    well and Trisha told him that the baby resembled him.  Trucker
    is upset that she hasn't called him.
    
    Trisha is holding the baby, as they showed her.  She is 
    asking the baby if he misses his father because she does. 
    She then says should we call him.  At the end she looks at
    the phone and seems like she is going to call.
    
    Louie talks to Paul and wants to know why he left Carly
    and his son in New York when he has waited so long to 
    find out he has had a son.  Paul is alittle on the defense
    and says his life is in Corinth where his job and where
    Ava is.
    
    Louie doesn't by the story and Paul doesn't want to tell
    him it is because Carly admits she is in love with him.
    
    That was about it.  If someone else watches it maybe they
    can fill in what I missed.
    
    Tracey
    

    
    I can't belive the one day my boss is gone...and I forgot to tape
    loving last night!  UHG!
    
    so they really showed Trisha/Noelle?
    
    Lou

    Lou-->>  Ya they really showed Trisha.  It was neat to see
    her again I hope she comes back soon.*^)  Of all days for
    you to forget to tape.  I didn't catch every scene in
    yesturdays ither.
    
    Hopefully someone can fill in if there is anything I 
    didn't catch. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Hi, just a quick note.  I haven't been able to see my tapes all week so
    I really appreciate these updates!  
    
    I'm glad they showed Trisha and I hope they have her call Trucker. I
    don't like this running away story line at all.  It is really stupid
    and very unrealistic.  I would rather they bring back her substitute to
    play her part like they did when she was on maternity last time.  I
    think that actress did a nice job of filling in.  Of course, I don't
    want her to replace the real Trisha permanently, but I wouldn't mind
    having her on temporarily instead of having a stupid storyline!
    
    Just had to put that two-cents in.  Back to work!
    
    Linda

    I can't stand it.  I have not been able to get that new Loving song out
    of my mind all day.  I guess that's what they were going for, a catchy
    tune.  Well, I caught it alright!!
    
    Cheryl

    
    My sister and I were watching yesterday and we realized what they
    were singing.  They're spelling out LOVING.  L-O-V-I-N-G........
    It sounds sort of funny, but now I know I'll have it stuck in my
    head!

    Alexis:

    this show...it's pretty lame right now!
    
    Alexis

    Well guys I'm and it has been quiet in here.
    
    Alexis-->>  I totally agree that they need a few good men
    in Corinth, I have been trying to tell Loving that for a
    long time now. *^)  Maybe we should help them recruit some. *^)
    
    I'll try to give you a update for yesturday
    
    Dinah Lee's sister is in Corinth and she is asking questions
    about Dinah's Lees fiance' and is very interested in hearing
    how rich she is.
    
    Dinah Lee is shocked and can't bring herself to tell her
    sister that she isn't engaged to Trucker and is not rich.
    Just then the driver of a limo comes in and says he is
    there to pick them up and take them home.  Dinah Lee
    is really happy and her sister is impressed.
    
    Stacey and Trucker continue looking in the floor plans
    to find the room as Trucker is playing with Stacey's
    little boy and enjoying it.  He most definetely misses
    Trisha and there new baby.
    
    Ava gets upset when Paul is talking with Carly in New York
    about Michael and lets him know how upset she is.  Paul
    tries talking to her, but Ava has had it!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    That was about it.
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    
    	Thanks for the update Tracey...
    
    	I think this is the busy season...everyone is so busy lately!
    
    	Now that they've gotten rid of a few characters, they haven't
    	really been replacing them...Matt, Flynn, and soon Paul...they
    	definately need more characters...(who cares about Dinah-lee's
    	sister...she already sounds like a money hungry witch like DL)
    	
    	The only nice looking guy left on the show is Trucker...
    	Jacks ok...nothing special...
    
    	Alexis
    

    Do you all remember the last time Trisha gave birth they had another
    [SKINNY!!!!] actress fill in for her.....well that same actress is the
    one that plays Linda on HOMEFRONT.
    
    /red

    
    
    Does anyone have an update from yesterday?  I finally got to watch
    Monday's...but not yesterdays...
    
    I have a few comments on Mondays show...
    
    First of all, I think this secret room and the DL sister story line
    is going to be boring...
    
    I wonder who that strange guy was that was walking around the Tides?
    That was weird...
    
    Ava really flipped out at Paul...I couldn't believe it...I wasn't
    expecting that much of an outburst...I think Ava should be alone
    and make her devious again...we need some excitement...
    
    I hope they don't drag this Trisha thing out too long...she should 
    come back soon!
    
    Well...that's about all I can think of!  If I have anything else
    to complain about I'll be sure to put it in later....
    
    Alexis

    I'll put in a update on yesturday's.........
    
    Dinah Lee and her sister are on there way to her new penthouse
    with Arthur in the Limo.  Dinah Lee is surprised and is about
    to tell her sister the truth when Clay comes out in a blue
    jean jacket and jeans and says he's Trucker.
    
    Hannah is impressed and Dinah Lee is upset.  Clay does a good
    job talking about how they met and what is happening between
    them when Clay tells Hannah to go take a look in the shops
    and buy something and put it on Dinah Lee's account.
    
    She leaves and Dinah Lee tells Clay she is upset at him
    doing this and now it is going to be worse telling her
    sister the truth about her.  Clay asks how long she is
    going to be here and Dinah Lee says a week.
    
    Clay told her to not tell her and continue paying on the
    new Penthouse with the money from the Bowling Alley and
    she won't have to tell her sister that wasn't her penthouse.
    Dinah Lee tells him she will go along with it, but he is
    to keep his hands to himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Her sister comes back and Dinah Lee asks Clay to go home
    now. Clay tried to tell Hannah that he and Dinah Lee stay in
    the room across the hall, but that didn't work.  She told
    her sister that they DO NOT sleep together in the same 
    bed yet and Clay is just leaving to go home now!!!!!!!!!
    HAnnah tells her to give him a kiss goodbye, so she gives
    him a small peck on the cheek.
    
    Clay leaves and Hannah tells her to give him a real 
    kiss next time since she knows that they do have a relationship
    with one another.  Hannah says she really likes Trucker (Clay).
    
    Her sister goes to bed and they show Clay downstairs thanking
    Arthur for playing the Limo driver and offers to pay him.
    Arthur says no he is having to much fun to take money.  
    
    Clay is smiling as he is looking up at Dinah Lee's door
    and Dinah Lee is staring at the front door while smiling
    thinking of Clay.
    
    Ava apologizes to Paul and wants to show him how much she
    loves him and gets him into bed.  She tries everything to
    make him warm up to her, but he says he just can't.
    
    Ava is concerned and Paul says he's sorry, but they can't
    make love just to make things better when they still have
    serious problems.  Ava tells him she is sorry but she feels
    like instead of losing him physicially like she thought she
    was when he got in his accident she feels like she is losing
    him emotionally.
    
    Ava says she feels like she is losing him and she doesn't
    know what to do.  She asks him if he wants Carly and Paul
    says no I want you, they make love.
    
    Ava is happy and when they are laying there together she says
    this is the closest she has felt to him in months.  Paul is
    turned the other way and doesn't say anything he doesn't
    look like he is to happy.
    
    They also had Shanna and Jack on and they were meeting with
    some business people and Shanna was not interested in there
    offers and tell Jack to count her out.  Jack isn't happy
    because he thought she should have given them a chance.
    
    That was about it.

    	Thanks Tracey...

    Tracey, any chance of us getting one of those killer "same day" updates
    today?  :')
    
    Jo

    Here is the update for 3/4.....
    
    Kindof a slow day on Loving yesturday.  Ally came to Giff's
    art class late and he gave her somewhat a hard time by telling
    her he wanted her to sit in the middle of the class where 
    she can be seen and class starts promptly on the hour as
    she was late.
    
    Ally was quite worried when he said that and told him that
    she felt more comfortable by sitting in the back.  Giff 
    kept insisting she sit in the middle.  
    
    One of the students stuck up for Ally and asked him why
    he should make her sit where she doesn't want to.  He
    told the class it was because Ally insists on taking
    this class instead of the beginners class which was
    to start next semester.
    
    He told Ally she could stay in the class, but talked to
    her and the guy he thought was helping her out with her
    art work.  He said that he is going to keep an eye on
    the both of them.
    
    Ally was happy she got to stay in class and she thanked
    the guy for not giving her away.  He told her she better
    watch it because Giff is a smart guy and he will toss
    them both right out of class if he catches them.
    
    Shanna gets a visit at work from the business man that
    she didn't want anything to do with the other night.  He
    is trying to tell her he has a good product which is 
    called "Take-Off".
    
    She is very relunctant to let him explain, but he does
    and tells her he knows what the product is about and it
    is a very good one.  She was impressed by the picture
    he showed her of his before and after.
    
    He leaves after he talks to her for awhile and Shanna
    is now thinking.  Jack comes in and she tells him that
    she is at least now considering taking his product and
    it might be an alright business deal.
    
    Jack is surprised and said that makes him happy, he
    wants her to be in on all of his deals.  They then begin
    to talk about Isabele and Gwen which are out in the hallway
    talking.
    
    They think she is up to something.  Just then the secretary
    comes in and says she over heard Isabele and Gwen talking
    and they mentioned that they want Jack out of the company
    and Clay in.
    
    Jack and Shana are somewhat surprised as they say that
    they are going to keep business deals to themselves and
    ecspecially "Take-Off".
    
    Meanwhile Gwen tells Isabele she wants nothing to do with
    her intentions to let Clay back in the company.  She says
    she is loyal to Jack.  
    
    Tracey
            

    I got my SPW for next week really early this week (Yesterday) but I
    forgot it to enter some stuff.  Anyway, a real surprise was who is
    playing the part of the "Take Off" guy.  It's John Scheidner from the
    Dukes of Hazzard.  I didn't even recognize him!!!  The part is short
    term, 6-8 weeks.  I feel some chemistry between he and Shana.
    
    So, Giff will give in to Ally's advances.  (Where did I read that???) 
    In here??  
    
    Friday, please hurry!!!!!!
    
    Cheryl

    Cheryl-->>  I thought I recognized that guy, but now it clicks
    that he is from the Dukes of Hazzard, thanks. *^)  How 
    interesting that Giff will give into Ally's advances.
    
    I can't wait now ither!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)  Thanks for
    the news. *^)  Is there any other upcoming news for next
    week?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Tracey----->   Yes, but I forgot the magazine.  I won't be in tomorrow
    either so Monday morning.  Sorry!!!!!
    
    I can't remember what it said either about Loving.  I do remember
    something about AMC and OLTL though.  See me in those notes!!!
    
    Cheryl

    Cheryl-->>  Bummer, I guess I'll have to wait for Monday. *^)
    It sounds like the show is picking up some, with interesting
    storylines. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    That was Bo Duke!  I can't belive it!  what a change!  He is 
    actually good looking now. :-)
    
    I hope him and Shanna do it..this woman needs a good night in bed
    w/ a man..to take some her edge off!
    
    Lou

Upcoming News

Dinah Lee is relieved that Arthur managed to keep Hannah in the dark about
Trucker.  Stacey and Trucker find the secret room, they also come to the
conclusion that it has been occupied by a woman.  Shana is impressed with
Larry's second sales pitch on Take Off.  Isabelle tells Stacey that Cabot used
the secret room to entertain his mistresses.  After making love, Carly tells
Flynn that she wants to marry him.  When Ally realizes her mother  Bonnie is
pregnant, she's so upset she runs to Giff for comfort.  Giff keeps his distance
until Ally claims she is pregnant.  The manager of the Corinth Towers tells
Clay he must pay his bill or leave immediately.

Next:  Paul decides to do something about Flynn and Carly.  Ally leans on Giff.

Cheryl

    wait a minute!  alley claims that she is pregnant?  with who's baby!!!
    has she and giff been fooling around already?  i haven't seen in weeks!  

    She isn't really.  It sounds like a ploy to get Giff's attention and
    sympathy.  She is lying again.
    
    Cheryl

    WELL, i can tell already what is going to happen.  if giff is supposed
    to give into alley and he thinks she is pregnant then they won't
    practice safe sex or worry about protection and she really will end up
    pregnant.  what do you think?
    
    any updates?  sounds like paul is going to go after carly and ask her
    to marry him so she doesn't marry flynn.

    Here is an update for the last couple of days (3/5-3/6)
    
    Shanna has given Take-Off a second thought after she meets
    with the guy and he impresses her with his stories on the
    product itself.  She tells Jack that she is going to read
    more and will at least think about it.
    
    Isabele catches Giff hanging up with Trisha and insists
    that he knows where she is.  He tells her that he does
    not know where she is and would have no reason to lie
    to her.
    
    Isabele mentions that she is meeting with the President
    of the school and will have him fired if he doesn't tell
    her.  He tells her to go ahead because it won't bring
    Trisha back.  Isable believes him and says that she does
    appreciate his help.
    
    Dinah Lee continues to go along with Clay being Trucker
    and Hannah is impressed.  Dinah Lee is feeling guilty,
    but keeps getting deeper and deeper into this.  When
    she was just about to tell her sister about Clay there
    was a package with a letter that came.
    
    It was Clay asking that they go out that night for dinner
    and dancing.  Hannah was sooooooooo excited that Dinah Lee
    could not break her heart and tell her they can't go.
    Just when Hannah says she has nothing to wear, there is
    another knock at the door and it is a package in it there
    is new dresses for Dinah Lee and Hannah.
    
    She is very excited about going.  When they get there
    Dinah Lee and Clay are slow dancing and Hannah is talking
    to Arthur about how much of a good couple they make.  Arthur
    is smiling and says more than they even know.
    
    Before the dance Clay goes to see Isabele and sees Gwen
    in the office.  She is very mean to him and she tells him
    that she wants nothing to do with her.  She says that
    he is not getting back into the company.
    
    Clay is a bit upset that Gwen would be that cold.  He
    then says he is checking on there daughter Trisha and
    wanted to know if there was any news.  She tells him
    no.  He leaves there after Gwen has made it very clear
    that Jack is the CEO and she respects him.
    
    That was about it, hope it helps. *^)

Hi Everyone,

I know I've been neglecting this file lately cuz I've been so busy.  
So, I will add a little to Tracey's great update.  I got to see 
Friday's show......the only show I saw all week. I'm now taping over 
last week's with this week's.   I hate when I have to do that!

Anyway, about the dinner with DL, Clay, and Hannah.  DL was trying to 
talk Clay into telling Hannah the truth.  Clay didn't see what the 
point would be since she wouldn't be staying long and by the time she 
visits again, DL will be that rich!  DL of course told him he was 
dreaming.  DL reminded him that they couldn't go out in public cuz it 
would be confusing to Hannah to have everyone calling him, "Mr. Alden" 
Good Point!  Well, good ol' Clay had that all figured out and had 
Arthur arrange for the dinner to be served in the suite.  The door 
opens and all these waiters come waltzing in with all kinds of food 
and candles and everything you need to bring a restaraunt to you.  
Hanna was all excited checking out all the good stuff.  She said, 
"Turkey and crandberry sauce?"  Clay says, "No, Pheasant and..." something 
else that was fancy.  

Arthur was talking to Hannah as Clay and DL begin their big dance.  
That's when Hannah said they make a nice couple and Arthur commented, 
"more than they know."  Then Hannah asked Arthur to take her away from 
there so she could leave them alone.  Clay and DL didn't notice them 
leaving as they were all wrapped up in their dance.

Arthur took Hannah to the bicycle shope.  He knew he couldn't take her 
in public, just in case someone would blow the cover.  They were 
talking about their lives and Hannah commented that Arthur is an 
awfully busy person working for "Trucker" and the shop and going to 
school.  I think these two make a good couple!  They both commented 
how they don't date.  Then wouldn't you know it ........ the real 
Trucker walks in!  Arthur says, "Trucker!?!" As Hannah's wondering why 
he's calling this guy Trucker so she says, "You, you're Trucker?"  
Trucker says, "Yep, that's my name!"  Arthur stands there stunned as 
the show ends.  Sounds like from the upcoming news that he covers 
somehow.  Trucker isn't exactly a common name!

The event that lead Trucker to return to the shop was back at the 
Tides.  (By the way, who the heck is living in Stacey and Jack's old 
place?  Seems silly that place is going empty.  If I were Trucker I'd 
go live there and keep Isabelle off my back!  Plus he has the cabin 
too.  This all of a sudden calling the Tides "home" is a little 
far-fetched, but that's soaps for ya!)  Anyway, sorry to go off the 
subject.  Stacey brought in the guy who's father had originally done 
the blueprints for the tides and he had the originals.  So, he helped 
them determine where the secret room would be which also contained a 
staircase leading to it. The guy left and they were trying to figure 
out how to get behind the wall.  Stacey wanted to get a crow bar and 
tear it off.  Trucker didn't like that idea but said it would take a 
sledgehammer to do it anyway.  Stacey talked him into going to the 
shop to get his sledgehammer ..... that's when he found Hannah and 
Arthur.

Before he left, he told Stacey to be a good girl and wait for him to 
return.  She said, "Yes, Trucker, I'll be a good girl and wait right 
her for you.......................NOT!"  And she decided to get the 
crowbar and start knocking in the wall.  Of course, the mysterious 
person (who I think is Isabelle) is outside the window watching 
Stacey.

Oh, one more thing happened on Friday.  Carly and Michael were having 
hot fudge sundaes at a shop of some kind in New York.  Michael was 
complaining about not spending more time with Paul.  Carly offered to 
take him on a tropical vacation during Spring Break and he thought 
that was great 'til Carly told him Paul wouldn't be going too because 
he belongs with Ava.  So, Michael suggested Ava come too, but Carly 
said she doesn't like the beach!  Then Michael spots Flynn at the 
next table!  Flynn is with an attractive female who gets called away,
she's a doctor.  Flynn got a job at the hospital across the street
(same hospital Michael has to go to) in Physical Therapy so he's
pretty happy.  The female was just a friend. Carly tells him that they
moved to NY permanently.  He was surprised she left Corinth.  She 
stresses that she doesn't miss ANYTHING in Corinth so Flynn takes the 
hint and asks her if she knows a good babysitter and then asks 
Michael's permission to take his mother out to dinner.

Boy, I didn't mean for this to turn out so long.  When my fingers 
start rolling they just keep on going!  I probably got repetitive, 
sorry. 

Time to get out of here and back into my workhole.  Thanks for all the 
updates and upcoming news.  They've been a big help to me!

Linda

    Thanks for the great updates guys.  I am about three weeks behind on my
    tapes.  Just watched the Valetine's party at Pins last night.  I am
    also having to tape over shows I haven't seen yet since we are running
    out of tapes.  Oh well.  Anyway, Tracey, do you have an update for
    today???  Pretty please with sugar on top??? :')
    
    Jo

    Jo-->>  Okay since you said with the sugar on top. *^)
    
    Here is the update for 3/9.....
    
    The real Trucker is asking Arthur what he is talking about
    since Hannah says there must be 2 Trucker's.  Trucker is
    very confused and Arthur is getting scared.  
    
    He takes Trucker aside and tells him that this is Dinah Lee's
    sister and he told her his name was Trucker, so he could
    impress her.  Trucker ended up going along with his so-called
    charade and left.
    
    Hannah and Arthur go and are playing games with the machines
    and they are really getting to know each other.  They seem
    like they are hitting it off well.
    
    Paul is back at work and is getting some grief from the
    guy there about him not being at work.  Paul tells him to
    lay off of him and Ava comes in.  
    
    She is talking to him about going away with him and how
    much she enjoyed last night.  He does not look as happy
    as she does.
    
    Paul calls Michael and learns that Carly is not home
    and he is a bit worried for Michael because he feels
    he should be there with him. (at least that's what
    I assumed was his problem) 
    
    Carly and Flynn are having dinner and she admits she
    loves him and Flynn admits he loves her.  They are
    kissing each other and Flynn says they better leave.
    
    Stacey finds the hidden room and continues to try
    to get in it when she is startled by a person, who
    turns out to be Trucker.  She finally gets into the
    room. That was the end.
    
    That was about it in a summary. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Tracey,
    
    Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.  I need my daily fix of Loving in order
    to function. :')
    
    Jo

    thanks too for the updates.. they were great.
    
    i am very confused about carly and flynn.  he is going to be one hurt
    guy when he finds out that carly loves paul and not him.  she drives me
    crazy.
    
    what does hannah look like?
    
    does anyone think that stacy and trucker will get together?  remember,
    jack is going to start drinking again and its kinda obvious that trisha
    will not want him back.  just wondering...
    
    cj

    cj-->>  I agree that Flynn is going to be really hurt by 
    Carly when she admits her TRUE feelings for Paul.  I will
    feel bad for Flynn then cause he is a nice guy.
    
    Stacey and Trucker I never thought of them together, but
    you know what you could be right.  That would be very
    interesting.  Stacey seems to goody goody for Trucker
    though.  She is a bit on the dull side, but then again
    I haven't been watching the whole time.
    
    Hannah is very plain looking.  She seems to be very young,
    what about 17 at most?!?!??!?!?!  She has long darker 
    brown hair and it is wavey, like she has a perm.  She is
    not pretty like Dinah Lee at all.
    
    Hannah is kindof funny because she seems to be so nieve
    and is not hard to please.  I thought she would be alot
    different then she is, but she's okay. *^)  Dinah Lee
    seems to really care for her whichh is nice to see for
    her since she has not had that many friends or family.

    Update for 3/10.......
    
    Dinah Lee and Clay are worrying about where Hannah and
    Arthur are when they finally come in.  Dinah Lee right
    away demands to know what happened!!!!!!!!
    
    They start off by telling her they meant "the other"
    Trucker.  She is then even more nervous and furious and
    tells her she is never to leave her again without telling
    her where she is going!!!!!
    
    She was also telling Arthur he should have known better
    to take her sister to the shop without letting them know.
    Hannah was trying to tell her that nothing happned, but
    she was to mad.  Arthur gets nervous and runs upstairs
    and Hannah leaves too.
    
    Clay tells Dinah Lee to quit being so nervous or she
    will blow the cover of them.  Dinah Lee says that it
    is almost blown now and she doesn't like it that she
    has found out about "the real" Trucker.
    
    Clay tells her that he is glad that she has now she
    really still believes them and everything will be
    okay.  Hannah and Arthur come back down and Dinah Lee
    apologizes for getting so upset to both of them and
    Arthur leaves and Hannah tells him maybe they can see
    each other again.
    
    Clay tells Hannah to go eat somemore food cause there
    was plenty left, so she does.  Clay and Dinah Lee do
    continue there talk and she is still very nervous
    just as she is about to say something to Clay about
    what they are doing they see Hannah and he covers her
    mouth up, so she doesn't blow it.
    
    Dinah Lee says its time for Clay to leave and he is
    about to leave when Hannah says don't forget the kiss.
    Dinah Lee is hesitant and Clay says okay and he lays
    a very -->BIG<-- kiss on her.
    
    Hannah is watching them and finally with a big smile
    walks away.  When they are done Clay looks at her and
    says goodbye and leaves.  When he closes the door 
    Dinah Lee is smiling very BIG.
    
    It was a neat scene. *^)
    
    Stacey and Trucker uncover the missing room and start
    looking through things when Stacey screams and drops
    a box with something in it.  I don't think it showed
    what it was.
    
    Ally continues to want Giff and can't figure out what
    it is that he doesn't see in her.  She isn't going to
    give up.

    I think that what Giff sees is that she is a minor and he is an
    adult! Trouble, trouble, trouble!
    
    Jo

    Jo-->>  Another update without asking. *^)
    
    Here is the update for 3/10.....
    
    Shana gets a visitor from another person working with Larry
    on "Take-Off" and they get to talking.  Shana told her that
    Larry had told her how the product worked and he was living
    proof that it worked.
    
    The lady (I forget her name) said that he is a very hard
    person to know and doesn't talk about how overweight he
    was and she can't believe that he told her.  Shana says
    yes he did and she was somewhat impressed.
    
    Larry then comes in and tells this lady that she should
    not be bothering Shana because he has already talked to
    her and he knows she is not interested.  Shana then
    says that she is and she would be willing to talk some
    business with them.
    
    Larry gives Shana a big smile and she smiles back.
    
    Stacey goes to see Jack at work and reminds him of there
    prior engagement and he tells her he forgot all about
    it. She tells him well I am reminding you, so go ahead
    and cancel what you are suppose to do.
    
    He tells her he is very busy and can't, she is not a
    happy camper.
    
    Clay then comes in and Jack is not happy when he sees
    him and tells him he is running the company.  He says
    that he has been doing it without him and is doing a
    good job.
    
    Clay tells him that he needs to remind him that he was
    Cabott's son and he has a right to work in this company.
    Jack wants nothing to do with him and asks him to leave,
    so Clay does and on his way out he bumps into Gwen and
    knocks her down, he of course falls on top of her.
    
    Gwen is a bit shaken and upset when she sees it is
    Clay.  Clay apologizes and walkes her back to her office.
    He tries to rub her elbow and arm and she says it was
    her ankle that hurts.
    
    He then says she has alot of tension building up as 
    he is giving her a massage.  Gwen is starting to like
    this as she says she almost forgot how good he was at
    this, and says that was what he was best at.  Clay
    tells her except for and he laughs, so does she.
    
    He continues to keep massaging her neck and she is
    enjoying it while he is doing this he is snooping
    through her work.  She turns her head where she can
    see his hand and is very upset at him.
    
    He is kindof laughing about it and says that he is
    just seeing what is going on.  She didn't go along
    with that and told him not to do it again she is 
    not going to let him know what is happening with
    Jack and the company.
    
    Ally is in art class and her friend that is next
    to her while painting takes a look at her art work
    and says it is terrible.  Her friend can't figure
    out why she bothered to take this class and then
    guesses that it is Giff.
    
    Ally asks her to help her and she says no way she
    doesn't want to get caught as she sees Giff come
    in.  Giff comes over and asks to see Ally's art
    work as she is standing in front of her ugly
    drawing.
    
    Ally says no when he asks and he tells her that he
    has to see her work that is why he is the teacher
    and she is the student there to learn.  She shows
    it to him and he says its horrible.  He asks her
    what the problem is and she says that she hurt her
    wrist.
    
    She says that it was when she was bowling last night.
    He asks to take a look at it, so she shows him her
    wrist and he begins to kindof of move it around and
    asks her if it hurts.  She tells him yes.  
    
    She is then daydreaming as he was holding her wrist
    that he was kissing her arms and really liking her.
    When she snaps out of it he says she should maybe
    see a nurse or something.  She says its okay she
    will stay in the class.
    
    He goes to help her out and hold her hands and shows
    her the correct way to paint, so she does.  She draws
    some picture which wasn't bad and her friend looks at
    this one and tells her that it is pretty good.
    
    Ally is happy and Giff comes over to see it and likes
    it also.  Ally is even happier.
    
    Isabele goes home and I believe she goes in the secret
    room and finds out that someone was there. (I think that
    is where she was.) That was the end. 
    
    That was about it. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    I just wanted to mention that Jack and Clay were about to fight
    when they were at the AE.  And Jack took Clay and tossed him up against
    the elevator to hit him..and the elavtor opend and that is then Clay
    fell on Gwen.
    
    Isabelle did'nt go home, she went to the Tides, Stacy took her there to
    show her the room in the attack.  Isabelle's face was in shock.
    
    Thanks for the update Tracey.  I know it must be hard to them the
    same day...you do a very long one everyday for AMC to!
    
    Lou

    Lou-->>  Thanks for adding that part about Clay. When I went
    home and watched it I saw how he fell into Gwen because Jack
    threw him in the elevator.  It was pretty funny!!!!!! *^)
    
    Here is the update for 3/12........
    
    Ava and Paul are talking at her place where she works (can't
    remember the name) and he is telling her he isn't happy when
    he talked to Michael and she wasn't there with him.
    
    Ava tells him he should be happy that she is out with friends
    and not just sitting around.  Paul says it's not that I mind
    her being out it is who she was with.  
    
    She asks who is she with.  He tells her Flynn.  Ava says she
    is happy and he should be to.  Someone then comes over to 
    Ava and asks her to work that evening.  Paul tells her to
    go ahead he has some work to do and he will see her at
    home.  
    
    Carly and Flynn are in bed together and talking.  She tells
    him that she feels so right with him like this.  He is also
    happy as she tells him she wants to make up for lost time.
    He tells her he is very relunctant of this situation and
    doesn't want to get hurt.
    
    She then mentions him being with the nurse and he says it
    was just as friends.  She then laughs it off and says 
    that she loves him and he says he loves her.  They then
    agree to get married.
    
    Carly makes a call while Flynn is out getting some champagne
    so they can celebrate there decision.  She tells Paul she
    wants him to be the first to know she is getting married
    to Flynn.  That was the end.
    
    Ava is waitressing and sees Dinah Lee with the girl that
    works for her at Pins.  Ava mentions Clay and Dinah Lee
    gets very defensive.  Ava apologizes for her bringing 
    him up and she tells her it is okay.
    
    Ava then says she knows Clay she used to be married to
    him.  Dinah Lee wants to know more as Ava says that 
    Clay only wants what he wants and won't stop until
    he gets it.  Ava then says she thought she loved him
    but found out different.
    
    Dinah Lee was laughing and thanked her for the info.
    She then says to the lady (can't remember her name)
    that Clay is so much different playing Trucker.  He
    is so romantic and caring.  The lady is sensing that
    she might be starting to like him.
    
    Dinah Lee says she is just having fun, but he is so
    much different from what she thought he was.  She
    is smiling about it.
    
    Ally goes back to Louie's and Kate's only to find 
    her mother there.  She is not happy to see her there
    as her mother asks if she is free for dinner.  Ally
    tells her she wanted her to do her school work and
    she doesn't have time to go to dinner.
    
    Ally then says just tell me what you wanted to tell
    me.  Her mother says okay I will she wanted Kate and
    Louie to stay in the room to hear this, she says
    that she is getting married.  That was the end.
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    A couple of notes back, someone asked what Hannah looked liked, well
    I'm not positive (I've only seen Hannah once) but I think she is the
    girl in the Noxzema commercial.
    
    /red

    
    Thanks Tracey!  I did'nt get to watch loving lastnight (my horse
    was sick, he got out of his stall and ate a whole bail of hay and he
    had tummy ake, so I was w/ the vet all night, but he is fine now)
    
    /red -> I think your right about Hanna and the noxzema commerical.  I
    know she looked familer
    
    Lou

    /red-->>  No wonder Hannah looked familiar to me I bet you
    are right, she is the girl on the Noxema commercial. *^)
    Thanks for pointing that out. *^)
    
    Lou-->>  You are welcome for the update.  Glad to hear your
    horse is okay.
    
    I wanted to add a small part in addition to yesturday's 
    update.
    
    After Ava talked to Dinah Lee about Clay the lady from Pins
    that was with her kept saying she thought that Dinah Lee
    was interested in Clay and Dinah Lee finally got upset and
    told her that she WASN'T interested and Clay and not to
    bring up the subject they are just friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    That was the end.
    
    We all know that they will be together, it won't be long. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
                                                                 

    
    Is'nt Isabelle setting up Shana and Jack for a fall?  Did'nt she
    set up this company "Take Off".
    
    Lou

    Lou-->>  That is interesting do you think Isabelle is really
    setting Shana and Jack up for a fall over Take Off?!?!?!?!?!
    Do you really think that Take-Off is not a good investment?!?!??!
    
    I was convinced that it was a good thing.  That would be 
    interesting if Isabelle was behind the whole thing.  What
    would Isabelle have to gain by setting them up?!?!?!?!  I
    guess the most obvious what be so she could somehow get them
    to let Clay back in?!?!?!?
    
    I can not see Jack agreeing to work with Clay under any
    circumstances and I don't think Jack would leave by choice
    ither.  
    
    Tracey
    

     
    Yes, I think Isabelle sent the Take Off people to J&S.  she wants Jack
    to fail and what better way then this Diet thing.  Then she can have
    Clay save the comapny and get rid of Jack or at leat de-mote him.
    
    well see,
    
    Lou  

    Update for 3/13......
    
    Clay has a piano sent over to Hannah for her to play since
    he knows she likes it.  Hannah is very excited when he shows
    her the piano.
    
    Dinah Lee comes in and sees Hannah playing the piano and is
    furious that Clay did this.  Clay says he thought he was
    doing a good thing and didn't expect this out of her.  She
    wants him to send it back.
    
    Dinah Lee tells Hannah she doesn't want it here since
    she is going home and she doesn't need a piano.  Hannah
    says she has no reason to go home now she can practice
    right here in Corinth now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Dinah Lee is upset and then there is a knock at the 
    door.  Clay gets the door and it is the guy that they
    are suppose to pay rent to.  The guys tells him that
    he hasn't received any rent and she has to get out
    immediately!!!!!!!!!  That was the end.
    
    Carly tells Paul and then Flynn comes back and they 
    decide to tell Michael.  They are sitting down with
    him and they ask him how he feels about Flynn.  He
    tells them he likes him, but he mentions his dad.  They
    just tell him and Paul comes to the door.
    
    Michael opens the door and wonders what he is doing 
    there and he says he has come because of Carly and Flynn.
    That was the end.
    
    Ally learns that not only is her mother getting married,
    but that she is pregnant also.  She is not happy and tells
    her mother that.  She tells her mother that all that talk
    about her loving the guy and wanting to marry him is all
    because she is pregnant!!!!!!
    
    Her mother tells her if she didn't love him and want to
    marry him she wouldn't be having his baby!!!!!  Louie
    is trying to calm the situation down, but Ally leaves.
    
    She goes to Giff and tells him he is a wonderful teacher
    and tells him how much she appreciate the few minutes
    he has taken with her in class.  He thanks her for the
    words and asks her what she really wants.
    
    Ally then says she wants to know since she is getting
    better at painting if she can be his assistant.  He tells
    her no and that is out of the question.  He says I am
    your teacher and that is it.
    
    He tells her that she is obviously here for something he
    can't give her and she should leave.  She says she needs
    to talk.  He says he is not the right person and she should
    go see a counselor that could listen to her.  She says she
    really needs to talk to someone.
    
    He tells her he will and asks what the matter is and she
    says she is pregnant.  That was the end.

    Oh no...not Flynn...just when I thought they might change their minds
    and keep him...now this!  How can they do this to him...he's the best
    looking guy on the show...
    
    Cheryl...thanks for the upcoming news!!!
    
    Tracey...thanks for the update...as usual it was great!
    
    Alexis

    
    I will assume they will gave Flynn killed!  I can't belive they
    would do that!  I love Flynn...Well, I can see we will need some
    puff's pluss for the next few shows..
    
    Lou

    well, i too am very dissapointed in the way that they are doing this. 
    i also think its kinda insulting to the us viewers to see carly so
    "fickle" (is that the right word?) i mean thought she loved clay, so
    she married him, then she "thought" she loved flynn so was going to
    marry him and you know in about 3 weeks she will be married to paul who
    we all know was the only man she ever loved.
    
    cj
    

    Flynn is one of the best new characters they have ever introduced, I
    think it is a mistake to kill him off.  So, I guess now Carly and Paul
    will marry and leave with Michael, and Ava will be free to do what she
    does best, be a manhunter!!! :')  Time for some more new characters on
    this soap.

    tells her that she just told him a couple weeks ago that she

    just looking out for her happiness.
    
    Ally and Giff are talking and he is trying to help her out

    	How does everyone know that Paul and Carly are getting married?
    	Does this mean that Carly is leaving too?
    
    	They are only going to have 10 characters if they don't quit
    	getting rid of people...
    
    	Alexis

    
    Flynn is one of the best on the show, can't believe he is leaving!  So
    what does everyone think of Giff?  I think he is the hottest one on the
    show!
    
    Kim

    Kim-->>  I have to agree I like Giff alot.  He is a great guy
    and I must say he is pretty "hot"!!!!!! *^)  I like his style
    and I have really gotten use to his voice as well!!!!! *^)
    
    Thank goodness for Giff and actually I like Clay as well with
    Dinah Lee.  He isn't really that bad.  I think he and Dinah Lee
    make a great couple.  I am looking forward to her finally 
    giving into her feelings and him as well.
    
    I wonder what will happen with Ally and Giff.  I couldn't see
    him falling for her, she is just toooooooo young for him.  Not
    only young, but very --> immature!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    I am to sad to see Flynn leave and on such a final note, if
    he does in fact get hit by a car and die.  That is not the
    way I wanted him to be off the show.  
    
    I can't see Paul marrying Carly and then him leaving.  I don't
    think Carly and Michael will leave the show.  I bet Paul gets
    real confused with Carly and Ava and decides it's best to 
    leave Corinth.  I hate to see him go too!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    They are going to need some more character that is for sure. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    If Paul is leaving the show, what are they going to do with his son? 
    They just found each other, how could they separate them again.  
    
    Is there a possibility of someone else playing Pauls role?

    Where is everyone??????  I bet they're all watching AMC.... It's hot!

    getting hot!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Here is a update for the past couple of days combined.......
    
    Hannah is excited about Dinah Lee's and Clay's upcoming false
    marriage.  She is trying to help them out by getting a wedding
    consultant.  They tell her they need to take care of some 
    business, so they won't be able to meet with the consultant.
    
    Before Clay and Dinah Lee leave they tell her not to leave
    the place and Arthur will be over to keep her company.  She
    agrees.
    
    Dinah Lee tells Clay he is really nervous about pulling this
    off and he tells her to keep her voice down and they will
    think of something together.  They leave and in come Gwen
    who is going up to the Penthouse as the wedding consultant.
    
    She had talked to Clay earlier and she figured out that he
    was interested in someone by the way he had been acting.  He
    claimed different.
    
    When she got there Hannah told her that her sister is marrying
    Trucker.  Gwen tried to play it off and said I didn't know they
    were getting married.  Gwen then says is this the Trucker that
    owns the shop.  Hannah says no it is another one.
    
    Gwen then starts to ask even more questions and I believe she
    is figuring out what is happening.  Hannah gets bored of staying
    at home and goes to find Dinah Lee and Clay.  She goes to Pins.
    
    Meanwhile Dinah Lee and Clay had been talking about what they
    are going to do and Louie overhears there situation and offers
    to help them out.  He agrees to stand in as there minister as
    they continue to make more plans.
    
    They are going to have the ceremony as well as reception with
    a red carpet at Pins.  Both Dinah Lee and Clay are now getting
    excited that they might be able to pull this off.
    
    Hannah comes to Pins and Clay is surprised to see her there.
    She tells him that Arthur tried to tell her to stay put, but
    she wanted to see Pins.  
    
    Shana and the Take-Off people are meeting and starting to
    talk about business.  Shana seems excited.
    
    Trucker visits with Stacey and her son and he seems to miss
    Trisha and there new baby.
    
    Carly calls her mother and tells her of her plans to marry
    Flynn.  Her mother is not convinced that she is doing the
    right thing.  She asks Carly if she loves Flynn and she
    couldn't give her a convincing answer.
    
    Ava talks to her mother about Carly and tells her mother she
    thinks it is great.  Her mother thinks different.
    
    Ally's mother talks to her about her supposed boyfriend and
    Ally can't say much about him.  She also tries to tell her
    that she hopes she understands.
    
    That was about it. *^)

    	to watch...
    
    	Alexis

    hi alexis.  i am taping today.   the reason why carly will be drinking
    is because of flynn dying.  i am sure that it won't last long and it
    will be sad scenes.
    
    i did get to see the show on wednesday.  alley has lost some weight, or
    so it seems.  nice figure on her.  i bet her mom looses the baby too
    and alley will feel bad.  i wonder when her and giff will get together.
    
    oh, btw, on wednesday's show when gwyn was talking to hannah and asked
    what "trucker" looked like, hannah commented that he was about 40ish.
    if he was 45 (and we know that trisha should be about 24 at the least
    and curtis about 25/26) then that means that he was a father at 20! 
    well i guess its very posssible now that i think of it.  gwyn and him
    did marry right out of high school didn't they?  anyways.. how old is
    dinah lee supposed to be?  i thought about 23?  clay sure has a thing
    for the little girls eh?
    
    anyone see yesterday's show?  just curious!

i am surprized that no one has updated friday's show.  i just got to see 
it yesterday so i will give it a shot.

flynn and carly are in ny all dressed up and having dinner.  there is a 
man in the restaurant that is behind flynn and is in a wheelchair.  flynn 
notices carly keep stairing at him.  he gets upset and she tries to deny 
that she was thinking of paul while looking at the man.  flynn gets fed up 
and leaves.  carly stops him outside the restaurant and he tells her that 
he can't do this, she has now hurt him twice and to look him in the eyes 
and tell him that she doesn't love paul.  she finally says, "i can't help 
myself" and is crying.  (live scene)  paul then starts to walk into the 
street and carly yells at him just as a bus is coming up.  obviously he 
was hit.

alley talked to giff a bit.  he asked her how she was feeling and told her 
to talk to her mom about this.  she didn't.  ava came home to find bonnie 
in alley's room.  they talked and ava mentioned that she couldn't wait to 
meet bonnie's finacee'.  she was happy that someone was.  ava then told 
her that she should be patient with alley and if she wanted some inside 
information that giff gets all the info because alley has a crush on him
and talks to him.  she goes to see him and tells him that she knows alley 
confides in him.  he is glad and says "i am glad that she took my advise 
and is talking to you".  then he mentiones something about alley being 
pregnant and bonnie is surprized.  giff says that he thought she knew.  
she runs out before anything else is said.

i don't remember anything else as i was half watching but thought you 
might be interested to see those two scenes.  anyone see monday's show?
just curious!!! :)

cj

    
    Does anyone have an update for Monday?  I set my VCR to channel 7! 
    ARGH!
    
    Is Flynn OK?
    
    Donna

    CJ,
    
    Thank you very much for the update.  I have been very busy and haven't
    been able to see my tapes.  I depend on this file for my info!!  I
    thought that Friday was the day Flynn was going to get hit.  I still
    can't believe they did that to him!!  Maybe he can come back as a
    ghost?!?  :-)   Speaking of, whatever happened to Cabot's ghost?  Is he
    the one in the secret room?
    
    Thanks again.  Any and all information is highly appreciated!
    
    Linda

    oh, i almost forgot another part.  stacy was in the secret room and she
    was reading a love letter when she picked up the pillows and found
    several tied together in two sets with bows on them (kinda stupid but
    what the heck) anyways.. she lays down on the bed to read them and has
    a dream about jack writing one to her.  while she is sleeping the
    stranger comes by and starts to board up the hole that stacy got in
    with.
    
    my prediction is that isabelle is the stranger and she was the one with
    the MAN in there.  my guess... the man is clay's real father.
    
    cj

    I think your prediction is correct.  I don't think that Cabot was
    Clay's father.  That would make sense given the conversations that
    Isabelle had with Cabot's ghost about "mistakes".
    
    Anyone have an update for Monday's show??  I may have to resort to
    pleading.  Can you believe that I am over a month behind on my tapes??? 
    It is truly awful.
    
    Jo

    Well guys I will give a update on today's show 3/24........
    
    Trucker gets Stacey out and the police are called to try to
    figure out who did this to her.  Stacey talks to Jack and
    he feels bad when he finds out she was helped by Trucker.
    
    She tells him he was to busy and wasn't around to help her.
    There is now an investigation going on to find out who was
    at the Tides.
    
    Ally and her mother Bonnie are talking and Ally is furious
    with her mother for going to Giff about her.  Her mother
    tells her that she is concerned and has the right to be
    for her daughter.
    
    Ally says she shouldn't be concerned and her mother says
    that what has happened to her has nothing to do with her.
    Bonnie keeps saying to Ally that she should realize what
    it means if she is pregnant.
    
    Ally ends up calling her mother a bad name and her mother
    slaps her face.  Ally runs out of the house and is outside
    when her mother apologizes for slapping her.  Ally tells
    her that she must have wanted to.
    
    Bonnie says that she wishes she would understand that
    she wants to be with this guy and she wants to have this
    baby.  Ally says what about me?!?!?!?!?!!?  Her mother
    says that she should stop being selfish and only thinking
    of herself and grow up!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    She tells her that this has nothing to do with her 
    relationship with Ally.  She then tells Ally that she and
    her father are never getting back together and they were
    not happy when they were married.
    
    Ally doesn't understand and is still upset with her
    mother marrying and having a baby.  Her mother all of 
    a sudden doubles over and says its the baby!!!!!!!!!!!
    Ally comes over and is trying to help her mother and is
    very concerned.  That is the end.
    
    Giff goes to Pins and forces Dinah Lee to tell him who 
    it is that is getting married.  She says its her to Clay
    Giff says he doesn't understand why they are doing this.
    
    She tries to explain it is for Hannah, but Giff says he
    still doesn't like her doing this with Clay.  He says
    she should know the Aldens they don't do anything for
    nothiing.
    
    Meanwhile Gwen talks to Clay about Dinah Lee and says he
    has to get rid of her and get her out of town.  Clay is
    upset, but she is blackmailing him saying she will spill
    the beans to Hannah and Dinah Lee would be mud.
    
    Clay is torn and upset that she is doing this and goes
    to be along at Pins downstairs.  Louie finds Clay and is
    talking to him as Clay is rearranging some bowling pins.
    
    Louie asks him what is wrong since he just fixed those
    bowling pins and he wonders if he doesn't like the job
    he did.  Clay said he just wanted something to do.  He
    then confides in Louie as Louie wanted to help him out.
    
    Clay told Louie the situation and Louie feels bad for
    him.  He told Clay that he knows he doesn't want Dinah Lee
    to leave town.  Clay says he is really in a bind and he
    doesn't want Dinah Lee to leave town, but he doesn't want
    Gwen to hurt her ither.
    
    Hannah and Arthur talk about the upcoming wedding and
    Hannah says that she is alittle upset because she feels
    like she is loosing her sister.  Arthur tells her that it
    will be okay she's not loosing her sister.  Hannah says
    she likes Trucker and knows he would be good to Dinah Lee.
    
    That was about it.
    
    Tracey
    

    Thanks Tracey.  I think that Clay should tell Dinah Lee that Gwen is
    threatening to tell Hannah, then he and DL can just tell Hannah the
    truth and DL will get to stay. :')  Sounds simple to me.  This
    blackmail scheme of Gwen's is a lot more frivilous than some of her
    others.  I mean, the worst thing that can happen is that Hannah finds
    out that Dinah Lee and Trucker aren't really getting married, that Clay
    was posing as Trucker.  Big deal!  It isn't like anyone is going to die
    if Hannah finds out the truth.
    
    I guess they showed nothing about Flynn or Carly?
    
    Jo

    Jo-->> Carly was on on Monday.  It was really sad when Flynn got
    hit by the car Carly was right next to him and she was very upset
    when she realized what had happened.  
    
    Blood was coming out of Flynn and he said as she was holding 
    him that he loved her and then he died.  The ambulance had then
    gotten there and she was real upset.
    
    Paul was then called and he tried comforting her.  She feels
    like it was her fault and feels bad.  I can see the drinking
    starting already. *^)

    re: .1738
    
    Hi Jo,
    
    Clay is not just worried about Hannah finding out the truth about
    Trucker and Dinah Lee not really getting married.  Gwen also plans to
    tell Hannah that Dinah Lee slept with a married man while his wife was
    giving birth to her son out of town, and that she was the cause of
    Trisha taking off.  Then Gwen also told him that if Dinah Lee doesn't get 
    out of town she will also tell Trisha that Clay has been heavily
    involved with Dinah Lee and that whole story leaving Clay believing
    that he will lose his daughter all together.
    
    I do agree though, he should come clean to everyone involved and
    hopefully Trisha will be able to accept it and get on with her life.

    Ally goes to Giff and tells him that she wasn't pregnant.  Before
    she tells him this he felt bad for telling her mother, but says
    he thought she knew.  Ally tells him she is sorry, but she made
    it all up.
    
    Giff at first is upset and says sorry isn't going to help. Ally
    then says that she has learned alot and realizes how selfish 
    she is and she knows what she did was wrong.
    
    Giff sees that she means it and tells her he feels that she has
    learned and still would like her to stay in his class.  He tells
    her he will see her there.
    
    That was about it for today.

    absolutely beautiful as Hannah tells her so.  They are getting
    ready for the wedding to begin.
    
    Giff is at the wedding and he tells Clay he can't believe he
    is doing this.  Clay tells him he shouldn't be there if he
    feels this way and Giff tells him he is there for Dinah Lee
    cause she is a good person.
    
    Hannah talks to Arthur and tells him since Dinah Lee and
    Trucker are getting married she feels she will get in the
    way, so she is going back home.  Arthur is disappointed
    with her decision, but she says she will come back for
    visits.
    
    Dinah Lee and Clay see each other before the wedding is
    to start and he tells her how beautiful she looks and you
    can see how happy he looks with her.  She tells him he 
    looks good in his tux.
    
    Louie anounces he is about to start the ceremony as 
    Gwen comes walking in.
    
    Carly says she is about to come home as she orders a ton
    of liquor to her room and when it is delvered he asks what
    it is for and she says for a party.  Carly is not doing
    well and her mother is worried about her.
    
    Stacey continues the search for the mysterious person that
    was in the secret room.

    Lou

    RE: 1745.. /who's Cooper
    
      I don't remember the specifics but Isabelle received a note while she
    was with Gwen stating that a couple were killed in a car accident. 
    While talking she starts wondering how "Cooper will be now that he's
    all alone.  She said she had lost touch with the couple in the past few
    years but that they were nice...  That's all I've heard so far.  I'm
    always a few day behind on my tapes...
    
     Hope this helps...

    updates.  Please keep 'em coming.
    
    Thanks!!

    From yesterday:
    
    Trucker and Stacey discover the Shadow is a woman, but before they can
    make a grab for her, she pulls a gun and runs.  Trucker chases her but
    she gets away and drops the gun, which turns out to be a toy gun. 
    Trucker and Stacey decide that they are going to find out who she is
    and Trucker decides to move back into Tides secretly.  They promise to
    tell no one, not even Jack what they are doing.
    
    Gwyn arrives at the wedding dress in black, with a lot of cleavage
    showing.  She begins harrassing "Trucker" and Dinah Lee telling "Father
    Louie" that he must remember to ask if anyone objects to the wedding. 
    Hannah catches this and asks why she would say such a thing.  "Trucker"
    tells Hannah that Gwyn is an old girlfriend of his and she is jealous. 
    Hannah feels awful and embarrassed that she hired Gwyn as the wedding
    consultant.  Clay pulls Gwyn into the back room and they threaten each
    other again, Gwyn tells Clay that she will spill the beans about Dinah
    Lee to Hannah if he doesn't go through with the plan to get DL out of
    town.  Clay assures her that he will go through with it and has plans
    to take Dinah Lee to the airport tomorrow after Hannah leaves to go
    back home.  Then DL comes in and Clay assures her that everything is
    OK.
    
    Dinah Lee and Clay's phony wedding goes off without a hitch.  The
    bridal march was "Be My Baby" and was sung by three women in 50's garb. 
    The bridesmaids wore pink with these huge bows framing their faces. 
    Hannah was the Maid of honor, the girl with the southern accent who
    works at Pins and someone I didn't know were the bridesmaids.
    
    Paul and Ava are trying to get Michael to go to bed, but he is waiting
    for Carly to call him.  Paul promises that if he hears from Carly, he
    will wake Michael.  Kate then arrives and she, Paul and Ava discuss how
    worried they are about Carly.  Paul and Ava tell Kate they will go to
    NY to wait for Carly to come back from Chicago.  Carly told her mother
    she was going to Chicago for Flynn's funeral, but lied and got herself
    a case of scotch.  She is walking the streets of NY drinking out of the
    bottle, flashing back to the night Flynn died.  Carly is approached by
    a homeless woman who asks for a quarter, but Carly is really nasty to
    her.  When the woman asks if Carly is OK, Carly tells her no, she is
    not OK.
    
    Kate has agreed to take Michael while Paul and Ava are searching for
    Carly.
    
    That's about it for yesterday.
    
    Cheryl

    well i saw yesterdays show but for the life of me can't remember that
    much that hasn't been said.
    
    i have to disagree about dl's dress too, sorry!  i thought it was
    pretty awful.  she has big breasts already and that dress just made
    them look too heavy and not as a younger womens usually are.
    the dress was also a short dress. kinda a bit above tea-length.  and
    the bride's maid dresses?  puleeze!  they had some bow in their hair
    that looked so awful i had to get the barf bag out! it was about a foot
    big and stuck out at the top of their forehead.  the rest of the pink
    dresses are o.k. but those bows just did me in.
    
    gwyn came in as the ceremony was about to begin (dressed in black and
    showing her breasts more then usual).  she requested that louie make
    sure he remembers to ask if anyone has any objections.  hannah looked a
    bit nervous.  clay finally told hannah that he used to go out with gwyn
    and she is jealous, upset, etc.  she bought it.  clay brought gwyn down
    the famous basement where she reminded him of their deal and he asked
    that she just stay calm as dl was going to be in the first flight to
    los angelos.  she offered to pay for the ticket but clay just about
    spit in her face (he is just too young for me to buy this clay/gwyn
    father/mother storyline with trisha!) dl came down and and they all
    went up stairs.  louie started out the ceremony like reading a will. 
    they had a very short ceremony and were declared man and wife.  dl gave
    clay one heck of a kiss and gwyn was obviously totally pee'd off! :)
    
    during their dance dl told clay how she would always trust him now.  he
    didn't look happy.  
    
    the gun that the "women" had was a phoney one.  stacy and trucker
    caught her but she did run away and trucker didn't catch her.  
    
    ava was trying to talk to michael while he was with paul playing cards
    or something and michael said "your not my mom" and ava was got a bit
    sad.  she tried to help some more but michael is really missing carly.
    
    
    i'm real sorry but i just can't remember anything else.  does anyone
    else?  thanks...
    
    cj

    Well I'll give you guys the update for today, 3/31......
    
    Gwen tells Hannah that Trucker will break Dinah Lee's heart.
    She doesn't want to believe her.  Gwen says I know I was
    married to him he doesn't love her.  Hannah says she thinks
    they are great together.  Gwen leaves and throws Hannah the
    bouquet.
    
    Clay carries Dinah Lee over the thresh hold back at there
    Condo.  They both look happy and are looking into each others
    eyes when Dinah Lee says you can stop now you don't have to
    pretend.  He is staring at her when she says why did you
    carry me in here?!?!?!?!
    
    He says she didn't object.  She says that she can't believe
    that she didn't like him when she first met him.  She says
    he is nothing like the other Aldens she really likes him
    alot.  He looks upsest when she says this.
    
    He then asks her if she is over Trucker and she says yes 
    she is.  She says she feels bad that she ever thought she
    could have him.  She says she is over him and says she
    will honor his and Gwens wishes about staying from Trucker.
    Clay is happy, but feels bad.
    
    He then asks if she wants some orange soda as she says he
    is a man after her own heart and they toast to there good
    friendship.  Clay is then by himself thinking about what
    Gwen said about getting Dinah Lee out of town when she
    comes over and wants to know what is wrong.
    
    He says its nothing, but he feels bad that Trisha isn't
    around with a new baby and says that Dinah Lee shouldn't
    be blamed.  He is getting upset while he is talking and
    says he wishes there was something he can do!!!!!!!!!!
    
    He then says he has to go its getting late.  He is about
    to leave when she tells him he should stay if Hannah saw
    him leave that would blow everything.  He agrees to stay
    on the couch.
    
    Dinah Lee is about to go to bed when he says to wait a
    minute as he asks her to put on the wedding veil.  She
    does put it on and he tells her how beautiful she is. He
    says someday she will make some man so happy.  He tells 
    her she has everything going for her she is young and
    very attractive.
    
    He has his hands on her face as he is about to kiss her
    when he stops and she says good night.  She goes upstairs
    while they look at each other as she goes up and she closes
    her bedroom door.  Clay is very upset about her having to
    leave.
    
    Dinah Lee then comes downstairs while Clay is laying on 
    the couch.  She goes right up to him and is smiling as she
    is watching him sleep.  She kisses her finger and is about
    to put her fingers over his lips when she stops and goes
    back upstairs.
    
    When she does they show Clay he opens his eyes as he was
    pretending to be asleep while he whispers Dinah Lee.  HE
    looks miserable.
    
    Ally talks to the serority girl and they agree to let her
    be in.  She is all happy about it.
    
    Shana and Jack continue to talk and she has fallen head over
    heels for him.  He has her right where he wants her.
    
    That's about all I can remember.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Thanks Tracey for the update.
    
    The person you keep calling Jack is Larry, the Take-Off guy, right????

    Stacey's husband and the CEO of Alden Enterprises.

    a block in my brain for calling him Jack. *^)

    Updates for 4/1 & 4/2.......\
    
    Shana and Larry continue there romance while he still is with
    the other girl from Take-Off.  Shana is really being taken by
    him.
    
    Ally is part of the serority and is getting deep in it.  She
    is really starting to like the head girl from the serority
    and seems to be grateful to her for letting her in.
    
    Isabelle, Gwen, Clay, Jack and Stacey meet as they are talking
    about all of them being together as a family when Trucker comes
    in and says he has something to say about Tricia.
    
    He is upset that Tricia isn't around and says that she never
    shoud have left.  Gwen brings up Dinah Lee and blames her as
    Trucker says don't bring her up she left because of me and
    she has done this before.  He then says she has no right to
    take my son!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    After Trucker leaves Gwen tells Clay Dinah Lee better be out
    of here.  Clay is upset with her.  Gwen asks what he could see
    in her.  Clay says I'll tell you what I see in her she is very
    beautiful, has got a lot of ambition and is very fun to be
    around.  
    
    He tells her unlike you, you have turned into something else
    and you have changed you are not who I use to know when I
    married you!!!!!!!!!!  She is upset and says she is tired of
    being nice she says she won't give him until midnight to get
    her out of town, she wants her out now!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    He says forget it the deal is off she is not leaving and I
    don't care what you do!!!!!!!!!  Gwen says don't play that
    game with her she says I will tell her little sister the
    truth and she won't like it!!!!!!!!  Clay says she won't
    believe you anyways.  She will think you are lying since
    she knows we were married before!!!!!!!!
    
    Gwen says don't make me try it.  He tells her to go ahead.
    
    Hannah and Arthur are talking and he doesn't want her to
    leave.  She says she has to and asks him since they were
    in the shop if he will take her on a motorcycle ride.  He
    finally agrees to take her.
    
    They come back and she says what a great time she had on
    the motorcycle with him.  She then says what kindof guy
    she is looking for and asks him if he knows someone like
    she's looking for.  Arthur tells her no.
    
    A guy then comes in and asks for a motorcycle as he says
    he wants to take one out.  Arthur says he can't let him 
    do that until he says Trucker sent him here.  Arthur goes
    to get it ready for him to take out when Hannah is staring
    at the guy and he is looking at her.
    
    Stacey goes to see Trucker.  Stacey knows he is upset and says
    she remembers when she fixed them up to meet there on Christmas
    Eve, and how it worked they did get back together.  Trucker then
    says he is mad at Tricia for leaving.  She tries to comfort him.
    
    
    Tracey 
    

    
    How soon do you think it will be before Trucker and Stacey end up
    together?  They are getting a little too close if you ask me!
    
    Donna

    Donna-->>  I am thinking the same thing Trucker and Stacey seem
    like they are heading in that direction.
    
    That would be terrible for Trisha for her best friend to be
    with her husband.  That would make for a -->>BIG<<-- battle
    that's for sure.  I think they will though. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Great updates guys!!  I was home sick for the last 4 days so I started
    getting caught up on my tapes.  It was difficult, but I managed to not
    watch the current shows while they were on, but taped them too.  That
    way I will see everything in order.  I think I am only a few weeks
    behind now.  Stacy just took Isabelle up to the secret room, and Shana
    just agreed to go with Take Off.  
    
    Jo

    Just to add to the update... The guy who walked into Truckers Motor
    Cycle shop was Cooper.  He'd met Trucker at the gathering Isabelle had
    called after the memorial service for his parents at the mansion. 
    Anyway he came in looking for a bike to ride and Arthur was hesitant
    until Cooper had said Trucker told him it was okay... Cooper walked in
    just as Hanna and Artie were ending a conversation on DL's wedding and
    her leaving and how she'd know when she found the "right" guy.  He'd be
    smart and among other things a little dangerous.. and in walks Cooper,
    they stare at each other while Artie runs off to find a  "fast" bike
    for Cooper to ride... Seemed like they were setting up the start of
    Arthur's change into more than a geek and Hanna's staying... who know
    maybe not but there was alot of staring going on.... ;^)
      Cooper seems to know something about everyone he's met so far (even
    though he hasn't supposedly seen anyone since he was a little kid).  
    
      ** Thanks for the updates too!  I'm 6 days behind on all of my
    soaps.. I just happened to be at home in time for this particular show.
    
      Have a great weekend everyone!

    Update for 4/3..........
    
    Ally meets Cooper when he gets introduced to her and she 
    seems to like him.
    
    The serority leader goes to the head frat guy and tells him
    he should get Cooper before every other frat starts to ask
    for him to be with them.  She thinks he is going to be
    someone worth having.
    
    Paul and Ava are looking for Carly when Carly is at her
    usual place, the bar drinking.  There is a man there and
    he tries to talk to her, but she doesn't want anything
    to do with him.
    
    Clay tries to stop Gwen from telling Hannah when Gwen
    gets over to Dinah Lee's condo.  Hannah hears the noise
    outside of the condo which is yelling between Clay and
    Gwen and opens the door and wants to know what is going
    on.
    
    Gwen says there is something she should know and stomps
    right into the condo.  Dinah Lee wants to know what is
    going on as Gwen says she has something Hannah should know.
    Hannah wants to know.  Clay interupts while Gwen says that
    Trucker isn't who you think he is he is Clay Alden!!!!!!!!!
    
    Clay tells her not to listen to Gwen she is a very evil and
    vindictive women!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Dinah Lee sends Hannah up to
    her room, so she could find out what Gwen is doing.  She
    tells Gwen she thought they had a deal that if she stayed
    away from Trucker then she wouldn't tell.
    
    Gwen laughs and says boy your sister is not the only one who
    has been fooled is that what Clay told you the deal was.  She
    says Clay and I agreed that I wouldn't tell if he got you out
    of town.  Dinah Lee is upset and Clay tries to talk to her.
    
    She says tell me if what she says is the truth just answer
    yes or no.  He has no choice but to say yes.  She is very
    upset and hurt and is crying as she turns her back away from
    Clay and Gwen.  Clay goes over to put his hands on her shoulder
    and says he is sorry and tries talking to her.
    
    She tells him to get his hands off of her and she thought he
    was different, but he's not.  She calls Hannah down from her
    room and says she has something to tell her.  Dinah Lee says
    that she is going to hate her.  Hannah says no I won't you are
    my sister.
    
    Dinah Lee says the whole wedding ceremony was a fake we didn't
    really get married and this isn't Trucker it is Clay Alden.  
    Clay is about to help tell her.  Hannah is shocked and says
    what!!!!!!!!!  That is the end.

    Paul is trying to convince her to come back for her son. She
    doesn't want to and thinks she is no good.  She is drinking
    very heavily.
    
    Gwen or someone has an article written on Clay and Dinah Lee
    getting married and him posing as Trucker.  Dinah Lee gets
    shown the article by Hannah and tries not to let it bother
    her.  Dinah Lee tells Hannah they are going back to her real
    apartment and takes her there.
    
    After Isabele finds out from Gwen who showed her the article
    about Clay posing as Trucker and marrying Dinah Lee she goes
    to have a chat with Clay.  She is not happy as she says she
    thought he promised when he came back he was going to start
    over and make a clean start with the family. 
    
    She is not happy as to what he has done.  Just then Dinah Lee
    and Hannah come in and she says that she is not leaving Corinth
    Clay is very happy and tells her he is.  She only says I bet
    you are happy.
    
    Hannah gets shown Dinah Lee's real apartment.
    
    Carly contines getting talked to by Clay and Ava and finally
    she breaks down crying.  Ava tries conforting her.
    
    The Take-Off project is going along well and so is Larry's
    suppposed game of love with Shana.  She has really fallen
    for him.  His girlfriend on the other hand isn't happy when
    she sees the two of them together kissing.
    
    She is now suggesting that he really does like Shana.
    
    That is about all I can remember.

    thanks tracy, we all know how much your appreciated but i thought i
    would tell you again.
    
    i guess its the same old song and dance with the storyline of shana and
    larry.  he will really fall in love with her only to find out that he
    was cheating her in the beginning.
    
    sound familiar AMC fans?
    
    puleeze!

Thanks for the updates Tracey.  I love same day reports!! I was home
yesterday so I saw yesterday's show.  I just have a few things to
add........ 

Stacey went to visit Trucker at the Tides.  He told her to go home to 
her family and he was fine.  She said the kids were tucked in and she 
was a corporate widow cuz Jack is always working.  She talked him into 
playing the board game, "Sleuth" it sounds an awful lot like "Clue."  
As they were playing she was telling Trucker how sad she is these days 
because of Jack working so much.  She was brought up to believe that 
family came first and the job came second but with Jack, family is 
coming in second.  She wishes someone would write her a love letter 
like the ones she found in the secret room.  Trucker tells her to be 
happy she knows where her husband and children are because he would 
love to be able to hold his son.  She feels bad and they hug. 

Meanwhile......the mystery woman is looking at them through the 
window.  She turns so we can see her face, but she is no one we know.  
She goes to a phonebooth to report her findinds to someone.....we 
don't know who she's talking to.  I think it's Isabelle, but I'm not 
sure.

Also, Cooper comes back to the mansion and "Auntie" (Isabelle) 
questions him as to why he missed dinner.  He explains that he went 
for a walk and lost track of time.  She informs him that Soams looked 
on the grounds and he was no where to be found.  He admitted that he 
walked to Alden University to check it out because he'd like to go 
there.  Auntie let him know that she knows he lied to her about 
leaving his last college voluntarilly and he was actually kicked out 
because of a huge party that got out of hand and it was his fault.  He 
gave some story about how they blamed him and it was actually other 
people.  She kept interrogating him about his past and he had an 
answer for everything.  Seems he was a tough child to bring up.  He 
said it was because his parents were always travelling and he did 
these things for attention.  Isabelle assured him that he will not be 
neglected now.  He asked her if she could get him into AU now and not 
wait 'til the fall.  She said she'd see what she could do. 

As he picked up his jacket to go back to his room, he tried to swipe a 
glass of cognac, but Isabelle cought him and told him to leave it 
behind.  Seems we have another lieing and coniving Alden on the show!  
Were we told how his parents died?  I'm wondering because I wonder if 
it's possible that he was involved in it somehow.  The reason I say 
this is because Isabelle and Soams talked about how he seemed too much 
together for someone who just lost both his parents.

They made sure that both Alley and Hannah made googley eyes at Cooper, 
so I wonder which one he'll end up with.  Hannah should go to AU with 
the rest of the teen crowd.  I still can't believe how much Alley is 
going from man to man after being oh, so totally in love with Matt.  
Her storylines are sooooooo stupid.  Did anyone see that ridiculous 
fraternity and sorority party scene! PPPLLLLLLUUUUUUEEEEEEEASSSSSSSSEE!!

One more thing that I think was kinda important.  After Hannah ran out 
of the apt. after hearing the truth, Clay was trying to comfort DL 
with Gwen standing in the background.  DL didn't want to have anything 
to do with him and kicked them both out.  Gwen couldn't wait to leave 
and as Clay left and DL shut the door, Gwen put her hand on his 
shoulder to try to comfort him, but he didn't even turn around and 
just walked away.  Gwen looked really sad and almost sorry for what 
she had just done.  Wonder if she's realizing how vindictive a thing 
she just did.  I don't think she thought Clay would be so hurt.

I also think it will be soooo stupid to have Trisha finally come home 
to find him with DL.  Hang it up already!  Let Trisha come home and 
Trucker hold his son and let them be happy.  Keep DL out of their 
lives already.

Back to work.  Sorry this turned out to be sooooo long!

    Re: a few back
    
    Not only does the affair with Shana and Larry sound like what's
    happening on AMC it also happened just a while back on LOVING, between
    Shana and Dane!!!
    
    /red

    
    
    	Here's an update from yesterday...
    
    	I'll see how much I can remember...
    
    	Paul and Ava were talking about Carly (she was in the bedroom still
    	sleeping.)  They were saying how worried they are about her and
    	talking about Michael.  Carly comes out and Ava asked her if she
    	would like breakfast or coffee...she says no, I'd really like a
    	drink...
    
    	Carly went over and grabbed a bottle, and Ava fought her for it.
    	She was trying to talk her out of drinking it by saying think of
    	Michael...finally Paul interferred and said that Carly is a big
    	girl and if she wants a drink let her have one.  Carly is thankful
    	and she grabs a glass and the bottle and sits down.  She pours
    	a little tiny bit into the galss and Paul says, "that's it?  I
    	thought you said you wanted a drink?" He fills the glass up and
    	puts it in front of her and says, "go ahead, belt it down." She
    	was just looking at it and tells Paul he is cruel.  They begin
    	to fight...saying things back and forth.  Paul tells her that
    	she finally got Michael's trust and she's throwing it away...
    	He said that she rescued Michael from an abusive, alcholic mother
    	and to look at herself.  Carly, at first didn't want to hear any
    	of this, but Paul was coming down hard on her and she broke down
    	and cried.  She was sitting near the door on the floor, and Ava
    	went over to her and they hugged.
    
    	That's about all I remember....I think the other parts have been
    	put in here...
    
    	Alexis

    
    
    	Oh yea...I don't know if this has been mentioned but I think
    	yesterday, it showed that mystery lady on the phone talking
    	to someone, (probably Isabelle) telling them that Trucker
    	is in the house, and Stacy is there too.
    
    	What does everyone think of the show lately?  Boring!!!
    
    	None of the story lines are interesting to me...the Trucker/Stacy/
    	Tides one is getting old...the Allie one, as usual is stupid, the
    	Trisha being gone one is getting old fast...and the Carly/Ava/Paul
    	one has been going on forever...but I think it's the best one 
    	on the show right now...
    
    	Looks like this Cooper thing could be good, if they think up a
    	really good story for him...
    
    	Just thought I would put my 2 cents in since I haven't complained
    	in a while!
    
    	Alexis

    The storylines on Loving are getting pretty old ecspecially the
    Ava/Paul/Carly thing and Trucker/Trisha.  I do however like 
    Clay and Dinah Lee together they are really cute.
    
    They will definetely be together real soon.  I think it is what
    both of them need.  They really do make a GREAT couple, IMHO. *^)
    
    I like Clay I think he is neat.  I of course never saw the other
    Clay play the part.  I do know who he was from AMC though and I
    think that this Clay is better. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
      
    

    
    Can anyone picture the old Clay playing this part now with DL?
    
    I can't picture him being nice to anyone...he acted and looked
    so mean...
    
    Alexis

    Well, I was home sick again this week, so I am now only about 4 (full)
    tapes behind.  I have been resisting the urge to watch the current days
    shows while they are on.  That isn't easy, ya know? 
    
    I am not too crazy with how they keep manipulating us into feeling
    that Shana is vulnerable, and then that she is a baracudda, and then
    vulnerable again, then a witch again, etc.  Come on!  Let's make up our
    minds, is she little miss I-married-the-love-of-my-life-and-then-he-died, 
    or is she MS. MY-FAMILY-KILLED-MY-HUSBAND-AND-I'M-GOING-TO-GET-THEM-BACK?
    Which one is she for pete's sake?
    
    I am still not too sure that I trust her.
    
    Oh, and to the person that asked about Cooper's parent's, they died
    when their small plane went down in some foreign country.  Suddenly
    can't remember which country.  I just saw that episode yesterday and
    already I can't remember.  Sheesh.  Old age settin' in.
    
    Jo

    
    Yesterday, (4/9) Jack enters his office at AE to find a table set up
    like an Itallion restraunt w/ the checkers table cloth and candles.  In
    walks Stacy w/ a long black trench coat and a black sleauth hat.  She
    is trying to seduce Jack.  She takes off her coat and she is wearing a
    wonderful flattering sexy neglige (sp) on underneath.  Complete w/
    stockings and everthing you can think of! :-)  
    
    (boy does this woman look great after having 3 kids)  Jack is not at
    all impressed w/ this and he is trying to tell her he has an important
    meeting...he "wants to re-schedule"  he relizes that is the wrong
    choice of words after it is to late.
    
    Stacy packes everything up and storms off...!
    
    What a jerk he is!
    
    Lou

Update:

Ally is trying to get ready to go to see her "sisters"  she has all her
cloths tossed all over her bedroom.  She can't decide what to wear..everything
she has is not good enough.

Ava see's her and is trying to talk to her..Ally is upset that no one is the
house has pearls.  Ava is trying to give her advice and Ava tells ally to
loose the head ban she is wearing on her head.

Kate comes in and Ally wants to borrow $$$ so she can buy some cloths..Kate
tries to tell her that Cloths are not important but Ally wants to fit in, she
has not belonged anywhere besides her family and this is important to her
Kate agrees to buy her some cloths to make her "sisters" jealous.

---

Copper is going to the park (he thinks to meet Ally) he finds the Bleak guys 
there instead.  They make him take off his cloths and they tie him to a tree.
(a few of the guys don't want to do this) but they do and they all leave to
go to the club (the one Rock and Rio owned)

They are there and some of the guys want to go back and let Cooper go, when
they here Coopers voice...he is at the club having tea and is dressed in
cloths...the guys are impressed to say the least...he is now a member of the
club...Cooper goes over to say thank you to...Soams! for helping him out..
coop had Soams follow him and bring clothes just incase it was a set up.

--

Carly is home...Michael is very mad at her..he thinks she is just like
Ruth Autsin..going out and getting drunk for days..everyone tries to talk
to him and they cant..Ava calls Paul to come over and Carly tells Ava to tell
Paul she wants Paul to have full custody of Michael..

--

Update:

Alittle more,

Jack, Shana, Larry and the woman (what's her name) are all in a meeting going
over the last of the details before the present the idea to the board.

Shana makes an excuse to leave and Larry follow...the woman (is it Karen)
anyway..she and jack start to talk and she gets jelleous when Jack tells
her that Larry and Shana are going to the Caribean...

She storms off and see's L&S and wants to talk to Larry...She tells
Larry she is upset and she thinks he is falling for Shana..he assurs
her he is not..but basicaly tells her to "bug off" and mind her own business.

Shanna admitted to Jack that she was falling in love w/ Larry.

    Did anyyone see the show on Friday?
    
    LKP

    In the half awake, half asleep stupor I was in because of my
    bronchitis, about all I can remember is Paul telling Ava's sister that
    he loved her, I think this was toward the end of the show but I'm not
    sure, the next think I remember is seeing Dimitri kissing Erica on AMC

    Thel, that did happen.  Paul told Carly that he loved her.
    
    Sorry I can't do a full update, but here are the highlights for Friday:
    
    Dinah Lee came to see Trucker to tell him about the Intruder article. 
    She admits she is falling for Clay to Trucker.  Stacey comes in and has
    a few (nice ) words for Dinah Lee, primarily that she didn't blame her
    for Trisha leaving.  Then, she leaves them along and goes up to the
    secret room.  Stacey begins daydreaming that Jack quit his job and
    decides to spend all his time with her.  The she daydreams that he
    decides not to be CEO of AE anymore.  The Shadow is there and
    cloriforms Stacey.
    
    As DL and Trucker are talking, Trisha comes onto the porch with the
    baby and sees DL and Trucker inside.  It ends there.
    
    Ava brought Carly back to Ava's and Paul's apartment and Carly tells
    Paul that she is giving him custody of Michael.  Ava decides to leave
    them alone.  Then, Paul admits he loves Carly and they kiss.
    
    Clay and Gwyn watched an old movie together at her apartment and she
    was crying her eyes out.  She is upset that Trisha is not home and she
    hasn't seen her grandson.  She cries on Clay's shoulder.
    
    I think that was about it.  Sorry so short but I have to get back to
    work.
    
    Cheryl

    I went to write an update in a .txt file and when I came back, Cherly
    had already done one!  Oh, well.  I don't want my typing to go to
    waste, so I'm going to put it in anyway.  But she did cover everything! 
    Two updates are better than none, I guess!
    
                                           
    
I'm really busy, but I'll attempt a quick update for Friday.....if I 
can remember that is!

Carley told Paul that she wants to give him custody.  He argued and 
said that she can't leave Michael now.  Ava was there but quickly said 
that this should be a private conversation between them so left.  
Carley was going on and on how it was her fault that Flynn died.  She 
told Paul it was because they were arguing because of her feelings for 
him (Paul).  Paul said if she should blame anyone, she should blame 
him because he has been trying to hide his feelings for her.  Since 
they found Michael, he has been having strong feelings for her.  He 
wanted her to move to NY so he could try to forget them, but they 
wouldn't leave.  Carley was shaking her head in disblief saying he 
belonged with Ava.  He said, "no, I belong with you, I love you Carley."
And he pulled her head to him and planted a big kiss on her.

DL went to talk to Trucker to explain to him about the article in the 
tabloid.  Stacey came in and wanted to know why she was there.  
Trucker showed her the newspaper but she had seen it from Isabelle.  
She told DL that she never liked or trusted her but she doesn't 
believe it's her fault Trisha left town.  Stacey left to go to the 
secret room.  DL couldn't believe that Stacey would actually leave 
them alone.  Stacey said he was a big boy and could take care of 
himself. He couldn't believe what she did and told her she should stay
away from Clay.  She defended Clay to the max.  Trucker asked if she
has feelings for Clay and she finally admitted that she did.  She
asked if they could still be friends and she said yes. They were 
sitting by the fireplace kind of close talking as........Trisha looks 
in the window holding the baby and sees them.  Oh, please!  Is she 
going to ASSUME something again!

Stacey goes up to the secret room (the woman was there and when she 
heard Stacey coming, she hid).  Stacey has some sort of fascination 
with this room!  She loves to look at all the old stuff.  She sat down 
on the bed and started daydreaming about Jack saying romantic things 
to her.  (She had just tried to call him, but he was too busy to talk 
to her.)  Then the woman comes out of hiding and covers Stacey's mouth 
with clorophorme.

Clay went to see Gwen.  Gwen was in her robe feeling sorry for 
herself.  Clay forced his way in and they ended up on the couch with 
Gwen crying on his shoulder.  They watched a sad movie together and 
were becoming close.  Clay got up and said he had to leave and Gwen 
made some kind of snide comment.  And he asked why do they always 
fight when they start feeling close.  She said that's why they 
divorced.  He left and she watched the end of the movie and cried.

I can't remember anything else.  I hope I didn't miss anything and I 
hope this helps.  I try to update when I can cuz I sure do appreciate 
the updates you all give.  It seems the only show I get to see these 
days is Fridays.

Linda

    
    A BIG THANK YOU TO CHERYL AND LINDA!!!!
    
    it's summer and I never have time to watch my soaps.  I miss them alot.
    Thanks for the update, it s appreciated.

Update:

DL is with Trucker and telling him that she has fallen for Clay and that
she is over Trucker.  Trucker is trying to talk her out of this.  He tells
her she will never be a member of the Aldens.  She will always be an 
outsider.  He give him and Trisha and the baby as an example.  all this time
Trisha is watching from the window and she gets upset and leaves 
(PPPPPLLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE)

While this is going on Stacy got chloroformed (sp).  Trucker goes to look for
Stacy and finds her on the floor.  She comes to and Trucker wants her at
the doctors and Stacy says NO!  She tells Trucker that the lady did it.

The Lady goes to a phone and called *someone* and tells the person that she
thinks she has convinced them to "get out of the Tides"

Stacy and Trucker get that old man who takes care of the land and they are
showing him some old English riding clothes and they ask if they belonged to
Cabot...the man says NO they didn't, he know who they belong to and the
Lady is looking on and it ends there.

DL goes to Pins and she and Clay are in the back room trying to fix the PINS
sign and Clay is standing close to DL and holding her hair back so it does 
not get in the way.  DL tells him that she went to see Trucker..Clay gets
little upset.  He wants to know why and she tells him that it was to tell
Trucker about the intruder article and that it had nothing to do w/ him and
that she is over him.  Clay looks happy and they kiss and kiss and kiss!

Carly and Paul are kissing and Carly pulls away and tells Paul this cant
be and she must leave corenth she will not hurt her sister anymore and she
leaves...

Ava is at Kates and she says she will not hurt her sister anymore and she
will get along and the 3 of them will all work this out..Kate and Louie
are kinda trying to prepare her to realize that Carly and Paul belong together.
but Ava thinks they will all work it out.

thats all I remember,

Lou (who's boss is out of town)

Update:

Clay went to see Isabelle.  They were talking about DL.  Clay informs her
in a round about way that things are just beginning w/ him and DL.  
Isabelle has something up her sleeve to get Clay back in AE and ask him if
he would go back, he says YES.   Clay leaves and Isabelle is a bit upset
and she runs into Kate who just typed some things for her.  Isabelle tells
her alittle bit about her convo w/ Clay and Isabelle wants to know all about
Bowling so she can go and chat w/ DL (kinda meet her on her own ground)

--

Mr. Schafer (the old man at the Tides) tells Trucker and Stacy that Tim or
was it Jim Sullivan was a grounds keeper along time ago and the riding clothes
they are carrying are his.  Mr. Schafer tells them that Tim/Jim could never
keep his pants on :>). Tim/Jim Sullivan only stayed on for a year and then 
left and no one ever saw him again.

The Lady in Black was watching and she goes to make her call and tells the
other person on the other end that S&T have found out about Tim/Jim Sullivan

Stacy wants to find Tim/Jim Sullivan and see what he has to say.

hmmmmmm.  Is Tim/Jim Clays farther???? Hmmmmmmmm

--

Giff tells Trucker that he talked to Trisha.  Trucker tells Giff that if
she does not come back now, then he does not think they have a future.

Ally is at the club on campus (who owns that now?, you never see any owners
or waitress's or barkeepers..when did this place get so close to the school?)

Anyway...Cooper gets officially welcomed into Bleek House!  Ally is standing
next to him..Every raises there glass and welcome him..Ally wants to know why
didn't Cooper take a drink..he informs her that the one being honored never

Cooper goes off to talk to the guys about up and coming parties and cooper
wants to bring some class into the Bleek House...The others want a toga party
but Cooper wants everyone to be formal dressed w/ a Roman wreath on there head.

Stage and Ally talk and Stage pretty much tells Ally to stay away from Cooper
you will just be a through away toy for a man like that and you have to give
all you time to us and you will not have time for him...(ally cant you see
through his??)

Cooper and Ally make plans to meet outside in the Limo...Coop and her start to
kiss and Ally wants to know what is she gonna get form this??? Coop tells her
he does not want a relationship but he will not let on to anyone so it wont
look bad for Ally...Ally is thankful (get a life Ally) and her an Coop start

    the illegitimate son of Isabelle.  Let's just sit back and see if I was 
    right!! :')

Update:

DL is working on her books in the B-ally.  Her friend comes in and tells
her there is *someone* who wants to bowl with her.  DL tells her to tell
them that is not a dance when you can ask someone to bowl..tell them I'm
busy.  We then see Isabelle come in and she is the one who wants to bowl
with DL.  DL tells Isabelle she has no time for this.  Isabelle tells DL
she wants to get to know her since her son is so taken with her.  Isabelle
tells DL she can't invite her to tea because it's not her scene so Isabelle
thought she would come down to DL's level and learn to bowl....DL is not
impressed...so DL accepts Isabelle's offer.  

At first Isabelle is doing bad, but then picks up speed..DL was doing good
but then looses steam...while they are blowing, Isabelle is trying to convince
DL that Clay loves Gwen and always will.  And that DL will never fit in.
She tells he that Clay will go back to AE, he does not belong in a B-ally.
DL tells her that Clay is the happiest he has ever been...

--

Shanna and Larry have not yet returned from the Caribbean yet...Jack and

Update: (did you all notice Gwens new DO!  She looks like a man in drag!

Ally is at Windom's with Ava.  Ava is going got help her pick out some cloths.
Ally is fustrated with all the prices, she wants the best clothes but she
wants them all.

Ally lets Ava know she is going out to dinner w/ Cooper Alden.  Ava tries
to give Ally advice on the Aldens.  Ally picks out alot of preppie sorority
clothes and Ava is trying to talk her out of them...Ava wants Ally to have
her own look and not to look like Staige.  But Ally wants to be like and
loved like Staige.

Also at Windoms is DL and Hanna.  DL is in a mood to buy a dress for her
first official date w/ Clay...DL also wants Hanna to buy a dress for getting
a scholarship to AE.

Also at Windoms is Isabelle and Gwen.  Gwen is depressed because of DL and
Clay and Isabelle is there to help Gwen pick out something smashing to cheer
her up.

DL and Gwen and Isabelle all run into each other.  Gwen finds out about
DL's first date w/ Clay...Gwen makes an comment infrount of Hanna about
DL having enough $ to buy the dress instead of stealing it...DL gets
Hanna away before Gwen can say anymore..

Gwen can't find anything she likes (and everything DL puts on looks great)
Finally Gwen finds a dress she is happy with.  It is a black evening gownd
very fitting kinda like Mortica on the Adams family.  It has these big
butterfly wings on the shoulders and some coming down the neckline..it was
nice..but...for the right occasion.

Anyway..DL comes out of the dressing room in the SAME thing!  and DL was
all smiles...she told the clerk she would take it!  Gwen looked as if she
could kill.

Isabelle said hello to Ava and Ally to.  Ally seemed very impressed to meet
Isabelle.

    Cheryl

    
    
    Cheryl...thanks for the upcoming news...
    
    Lou...I think Gwen's hair is disgusting...
    
    For those of you who saw the dress Ally wanted to buy, what did you
    think about that?  Maybe it's because I don't like preppy clothes,
    but I thought the dress was a little too preppy and ugly!
    
    Yesterday, when Gwen and Dl noticed they were wearing the same dress,
    Dl, says to Gwen, "I would try green, it's more your color"
    I thought that was funny...even though I don't like them both...
    
    These new characters are kind of a good change...
    
    Well...time for me to get out of here...finally!

    Update for 4/20........
    
    Dinah Lee and Clay go on there official date and she feels a bit
    sick and says she wants to leave cause she doesn't feel comfortable
    with him.  He tells her that he is really sincere and tells her 
    to come with him to prove it.
    
    He takes her back to his old office and says it doesn't mean a
    thing to him and he wants to give it up.  He tells her that she
    means everything to him.  Dinah Lee isn't sure if she should
    believe him and asks him in 10 years would he be happy or regret
    giving up his dreams of the company.
    
    He tells her that 10 years is along time and the only regret he
    knows he would have is to loose her.  She tells him that she does
    believe him and they kiss.  They are getting pretty romantic as
    they are kissing when he asks her to make love.
    
    They continue to kiss on the desk as she says she can't do it.
    She says they told Hannah when they were dating that it was a
    old fashion kindof relationship.  She asks him if he is upset
    and he says if she wants to wait he will.
    
    She thanks him and he asks if he can drive her home.  She says
    of course.  He comes back in to get his keys and has visions
    of him sitting in the chair and being at the Company.  He 
    then sees himself in the chair telling his he will be back.
    
    Isabelle has a meeting at AE with Jack and the rest of the
    company since she found out about Take-Off and let the rest
    of the board know.  Jack tells them about Take-Off and they
    were a bit upset that Jack took this on without letting all
    of them know first.
    
    Jack keeps saying hos good of a product it is and they all
    have a vote.
    
    Stacey and Trucker are in the fire and do get out, just
    barely.  Stacey wants to continue to search for who it was

    Stacey wanted to go back and get the letters.

    Tracey
    
    

    Where is everyone?!?!?!?!?!!?  It has been toooooo quiet in here
    and now I really feel alone these past couple days. *^)
    
    Here is the update for 4/21..............
    
    
    Jack comes home late from work and finds Stacey and Trucker not
    looking so well.  He wonders what is going on and Trucker tells
    him what happened.  Jack is upset that Stacey was around the
    secret room after he told her to stay away.
    
    He tells her that he told her something would happened and she
    almost got killed!!!!!!!!! Stacey took offense to this and told
    him that he is never around and how could he even think to talk
    to her when like this when she could have been killed.  She ran
    off to her room.
    
    Trucker tells Jack he should not have been so hard on her since
    she really only wants him.  Jack says that he couldn' help it
    she should have known better.  Isabele tells him if he would only
    talk to her nicely she might listen.
    
    Jack goes to see Stacey in there bedroom and says he is sorry.
    She tells him he already said that 3 times and it doesn't help.
    Jack says he has had along day as she says that's what he always
    says.  He tells her that she could have been killed.
    
    She tells him after all the time he spends away from home she
    didn't want to hear I told you so from him after what she just
    went through.  He tells her he can't help the time he spends 
    at the office he is busy.
    
    She tells him to be married to his job and not to sleep with
    her in the bed she doesn't want him, be married to your job!!!!!!
    Jack says fine I will and slams the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Ally and Cooper are about to finish there date when Ally tells
    him what a great time she had with the limo and dancing.  She
    said it was the best time.  They are in some sortof park when
    Cooper tells her he had a nice time to and they begin to kiss.
    
    He tells her he wants to go somewhere with her where they can
    be alone.  Ally feels a bit uncomfortable and tells him that
    she is not ready to sleep with him.  She says she wants to
    take it slow.
    
    Cooper says okay he will wait, but he really wanted to be with
    her since he liked her.  He told her how beautiful she was and
    said he would wait.  She thanks him for being patient.
    
    He asks to then take her home in the limo when they get near
    her house and he asks to walk her to the door.  She says I know
    why you want to do that, for a goodnight kiss.  He said yes
    that's right, so she gave him a kiss and told him he didn't
    have to walk her to the door.
    
    She told him again how much of a wonderful time she had and
    once again thanked him for agreeing to wait.  He then kissed
    her and told her he would wait, but not to long as he really
    acted like it was hard for him to wait.  He was nice about
    it as he left to get back in the limo, saying don't wait to
    long.
    
    Ally looked happy as the limo drove away.
    
    Isabele went to see the mystery lady that was at the secret
    room and asked her what she was doing.  The lady said I had
    to scare her away from here.  Isabele said you stay away
    from my family you could have killed someone.
    
    The lady said that's not what I wanted to do.  Isabele told
    her to leave Corinth and not come around there again.
    
    Ava talked to Paul as she got him to tell her that he was in
    love with Carly and her.  He told her he just couldn't admit
    that he was in love with Carly since he found out about Michael.
    
    Ava told him she could handle it and he had to choose between
    her and Carly.  She said she wasn't going to go crazy this
    time and whatever he chose she would go on from there.  She
    was VERY understanding to Paul.
    
    He asked if she was still going to stay there and she said yes.
    She said she was going to bed and she gave him a kiss and said
    she understands.
    
    That was about it for yesturday's show.
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    Tracey,
      
       Thanks for the updates!!!  I'm at least 5 days behind on my tapes
    (I tape all 4 abc soaps so...) But I really appreciate your entering
    the updates.  It gives me the opportunity to FF through the junk and
    hit the good stuff on a limit time schedule...
    
       Thanks again!
    
         Sue
    

    Sue-->>  Great I am not alone, thanks. *^)  I am glad that you
    read the updates.  I had to make sure I wasn't the only one in
    here. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    
    	Sue and Tracey...I'm here too!  
    
    	I appreciate the update since I didn't get to watch it last nite...
    	sounds like alot went on yesterday...
    
    	Don't worry Tracey...your not alone...

    
    I'm here too!
    
    I watched last night too!  I couldn't believe the way Jerk Jack treated
    Stacy and Trucker.  He's such a low-life.  I was glad Stacy thru his
    *ss out of her bed...who does he think he is anyway?
    
    It seems pretty obvious to me that Cooper only wants to sleep with
    Ally.  She's turned into quite the horned-pout, don't you think?  I
    mean, just she's been trying to get everyone into her bed since Matt!!! 
    What's the problem?  I don't think she's interested in these guys, just
    the "act".
    
    Well, I hope Trucker and Stacy get together and Trisha and Jack are
    lonely forever!  They both deserve it!
    
    Donna

    Donna I'm with you I hope Jack and Trisha are lonely for awhile
    they both are acting stupid lately and for no -->>GOOD<<-- 
    enough reason.
    
    Maybe Trucker and Stacey should fix them both and be with one
    another.  That would be kindof funny. *^)
    
    Now for the update for 4/22.........
    
    Cooper, Ally and the head of the seriority (don't remember
    her name) along with her boyfriend are all talking about
    different functions and things they could have.
    
    They come up with and only because Cooper loves music so
    well that they were going to have something with a piana
    and classical music.  They go to the music guy and ask
    for this.  
    
    The girls boyfriend is not happy with this because he does
    not really care for Cooper.  Cooper and Ally are alone 
    together and he says it was just what he was waiting for
    as they kiss.
    
    Jack is upset when Shana comes back so late with Larry.
    He attacks her right away and asks her what did she think
    she was doing?!?!?!?!?!?  Larry exclaims in front of Jean
    don't talk to her like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Jack explains that he sold Take-Off to the board and they
    bought it.  She was happy as Larry left the room to talk
    with Jean who was not happy with him.  She says what you
    just did in there proves he is interested in Shana.
    
    He says he couldn't let Jack talk to her like that. Jean
    says that she is collecting the money for Take-Off and
    leaving town and is he coming or not?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
    He says yes as she stomps away, mad.
    
    Dinah Lee and Hannah are talking as Dinah Lee tells her
    how happy she is with Clay.  Hannah is happy for her when
    they are both hug when Clay walks in and says save some
    of those for me as he has some gifts for Dinah Lee.
    
    She says you didn't have to do that.  He brought her a
    dozen roses and a talking parrot that says I Love You
    Dinah Lee.  She was real happy with him doing this and
    he says he is not done.  He tells her to come with him.
    
    He takes her to a park and has music playing with men
    singing and tells her to close her eyes as he starts
    talking romantic things to her.  He tells her to imagine
    a lake and a boat and being in there.  She then while
    smiling with her eyes closed is imaganing this and then
    turns to him and they kiss.
    
    It is very romantic when Gwen comes strolling by laughing
    as she says what is this?!?!?!?!?  Dinah Lee looked a bit
    nervous as Gwen says couldn't you have done something more
    original.
    
    Clay tells her to knock it off as she says he has done this
    to her.  Dinah Lee asks Clay if this is true as Clay tells
    Gwen to stop it.  Gwen tells him go ahead and tell as DL
    asks again.
    
    Clay says he did, but it is different that happened long 
    ago and it wasn't the same.  DL is upset and says how could
    you do this and she storms away.
    
    The guys are still playing when Clay screams for them to stop
    they can leave!!!!!!!!!!!  He then turns to Gwen and is not
    happy with her.  She says how could you do this the old
    courtship routine.
    
    Clay says you planned this didn't you Gwen.  She says no I
    was out taking my walk and came across you.  He says that
    bored you have to be out walking what about the office what's
    happening.  She says it's nothing and he tells her to go.
    
    That was about it.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Hi everyone..I have one been out of the file for a few days and I
    miss it allready!

    :-)  Lou

    Combined updates for 4/23 & 4/24.......
    
    Larry and Jean take the check and are going to leave town with
    the money.  Larry isn't happy about running off and leaving,
    but agrees to go.
    
    Shanna is upset when Jean doesn't want to go to dinner with
    her and Jack to celebrate as she says they have things to do.
    Shanna talks to Jack and tells him that Larry was acting
    funny.
    
    Jack is concerned about Stacey not taking his calls and being
    home when he calls that he decides to leave to try to talk to
    her.  Just when he is about to leave and Shanna is going to
    try to get a hold of Larry Isabele and Gwen walk in with a
    report on Take-Off.
    
    They find out that it was a fraud.  Shanna is beside herself
    and Jack is upset also.  They can't believe it.  Isabele and
    Gwen next want Jack out.  Isabele wants Gwen to take over
    Jack's position.  That was the end of 4/24
    
    Shanna also says she wants to resign, but Jack won't hear of
    it.  She goes home and is very upset as she is sitting there
    thinking when she gets a knock at her door and it is Larry.
    She is surprised and says she is calling the police.
    
    Ava sees Carly for the first time since she talked to Paul
    and Carly tells Ava she is sorry when she finds out she knows
    that Paul still is in love with her.  Ava tells her she is
    not upset with her.
    
    Carly says she tried talking to Paul and even told him if it
    would help matters she offered to give him custody of Michael.
    Just then Michael walks in and thinks Carly wants to get rid
    of him.
    
    She explains to him that's not what she was going to do and
    tells him that she loves him and so does Paul.  He is alright
    after she talks to him.
    
    Ava understands that it isn't Carly's fault ither as Carly
    starts to talk about when her and Paul first went out and 
    they made love (unplanned).
    
    As Carly is telling the story Paul is talking to Louie about
    his problem with being in love with Carly and is telling 
    Louie the same story that Carly was.  He then says to Louie
    he has something to go take care of and leaves.
    
    Clay is at Pins and talks to the women that works with them
    and she tells him that he is in trouble and Dinah Lee does
    not want to see him.  Clay says she has to talk to me.
    
    He is about to go see her when he decides to make a trip
    to AE.  He walks in and sees Isabele with Gwen and asks how
    thinks are going with Golden Boy.  He says last he heard 
    there was trouble.
    
    Gwen says I thought you didn't care about AE.  He says he
    doesn't he just wanted to know what was wrong.  He then 
    says he has no desire to come back there.  Isabele is smiling
    as she asks him to stay for lunch.  
    
    He says no he has a relationship to take care of and says 
    he is leaving.
    
    Gwen was upset as she told Isabele she hates the thought of
    him with Dinah Lee.  Isabele tells her not to worry about 
    it it won't last.  Gwen says that's what you said about
    us and look what happened.  Gwen then says you even tried
    to break us up.
    
    Isabele says that was foolish as she tells Gwen that she
    shouldn't care.  Gwen says she wished it wasn't Dinah Lee.
    Gwen the mentions what Clay was doing to impress her.
    
    Clay goes to see Dinah Lee and she doesn't want to talk
    to him as he tells her he is sorry.  He says he has come
    to play Let's Make a Date.  He has a cage with a big PINS
    bowling pin with some envelopes attached.  He then tells
    her if she gets the question right she gets a date with
    him.
    
    She tells him it is cute but no thanks.  He tells her 
    to go ahead.  She won't so he spins and picks a question
    then answers the question and tells her she wins the date.
    She isn't going for it as she says she would like to believe
    him, but she doesn't want to go through that again with his
    ex-wife.
    
    Clay says he is through with Gwen and he wants her she says
    I wish I could believe you but I just have this feeling you
    are going to go back to wanting your business and being with
    the Aldens.  He says he has no desire to be with them he
    wants her.
    
    She then says okay I will spin the wheel as they do and she
    gets a question and he answers it again and they kiss.  She
    says she forgives him.
    
    Hannah is practicing as she gets the gig to play for the
    serority and frat party.  She is practicing when Cooper 
    walks in and they talk.  They then get to talking and she
    says she has never danced before.
    
    He says he will help her as they are slow dancing while
    talking and she tells him a story of a guy she met before
    and they are both looking at each other when he says he
    has to go.
    
    She then tells him he doesn't have to rush off.  She then
    says why not play the piano.  He tells her she can play and
    he will listen.  She starts to play a tune and he is thinking
    back to hearing that music before and it is sounding funny
    in his mind as he screams STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    That is the end.

    Giff goes to see Trucker and tells him that Trisha wanted him
    to have the painting that he painted of her.  Trucker tells
    him to forget it he doesn't want it!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Trucker tells him that she can't just take his son and leave
    with him and not even let him know his son's own name!!!!!!!!
    He is upset as he says take the picture back and tell her that
    when you talk to her.
    
    Stacey then comes in and says the painting is nice as Giff 
    says goodbye and takes the painting with him.  Stacey sees
    that Trucker is upset and talks to him to try to calm him
    down.
    
    He does as Trucker brings up Jack and she says she hasn't
    talked to him and she won't because he doesn't have anytime
    for her.  Stacey then says she is leaving town to get away
    for alittle while.
    
    Trucker guesses that she is going to check on some info. 
    on the secret room and she says he is right.  He tells her
    she should tell Jack and she says no I'm not.  He then says
    he is going with her.
    
    She tells him he doesn't need to and he says she can't go
    alone.  He says he has nothing holding him back right now
    in Corinth, so she tells him she would like him to go with.

    Cheryl-->>  Thanks for the upcoming news.  Sounds like a good week
    ahead. *^)

        
    I can't believe that Paul and Carly are moving to New York.  I
    hope that doesn't mean we loose both of them.  That would be 
    a shame to have them both go off the show.
    
    There is a few storylines that are getting pretty good.  I do
    like Dinah Lee and Clay together, they are cute.  I also would
    like to see Cooper and Hannah together.  I think she is a nice
    girl and would make Clay be alittle more -->>CALM<<--.
    
    IMHO when he is with Ally he is out for one thing and once he
    gets it he won't be interested.  I think he and Hannah could be
    good together.  I'm sure in time this will happen.
    
    That was pretty wierd the way it ended Friday with Cooper's mind
    hearing Hannah's piana playing all sounding wierd.  I wonder what
    happened to him as a child.  It has to be some real bad experience
    or something that happened.  She really chose the wrong song to
    play. *^)
    
    Trucker and Stacey now that's a good one it serves Jack and Trisha
    right if and when they get together.  They both deserve it that 
    is for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Behind Spoiler:
    
    well, i just knew that trucker and stacy would end up together.   i am
    also happy about it.  i think that jack is being a jerk.
    
    i was out sick for a few weeks and got to watch loving everyday.  i
    like clay and dl together too.  i also think that hannah will indeed
    charm cooper and we will find out about this past.  he sure isn't
    grieving much about the loss of his parents six week prior while
    planning parties etc.  i guess if you only saw them twice a year though
    it would be different than the normal family.  alley will end up
    pregnant from the first time we "does it" with cooper... wait and see. 
    
    i can't believe that carly is leaving the show too.  i thought it was
    only paul.  oh i guess michael will be leaving too.  that is too bad. 
    i wonder what ava is going to do now.  they will have to get another
    man in her life and soon!  
    
    does anyone think that gwyn will be head of ae?  and what about shana??
    or even clay??  i also wonder how larry is going to get into shana's
    good graces.
    
    any update from yesterday?
    
    much thanks...

    Carly isn't leaving the show.  I read that Paul and Michael are, but
    Carly isn't.  I have no clue how they are going to do this though.  But
    my Soap Opera Weekly (which I forgot) said that Carly won't be written
    out.
    
    I don't think Stacy and Trucker will end up together, do you???  I know
    the upcoming new said they are going to get "electric" but will we have
    to endure the sexual tension thing????  Who knows.
    
    Cheryl

I dont think Stacy and Trucker will be anything serious.  They will
mos likely share a kiss and that will be it...it will just be a tid
bit for us (the viewers)

wish I could update, but my boss is back...bummer.

Lou

	Here's an update for 4/27...
	
	Gwen, Isabelle, and Jack are still in Jacks office talking about
	making Gwen CEO.  Jack thinks it's a bad idea, but Isabelle said
	she is fully capable of handling the job.  Jack accused Isabelle
	of setting him up to take a fall with the Take Off product.  She
	denied it, and kept saying that the board will throw him out if
	he doesn't resign.  He kept saying, not without a fight.  Jack
	finally left and Gwen and Isabelle are talking and Gwen told
	Isabelle that she wasn't so sure that Jack was wrong.  Gwen
	thinks that Isabelle is going to use her to get Clay back as
	CEO.  Isabelle of course denied it.

	They replayed the part where Cooper was freaking out to the song
	Hannah was playing.  Ally and the rest of her friends walked in
	and they were wondering what was going on.  Ally walked over to
	Cooper and he said everything was fine.  Hannah kept staring at
	Cooper the whole time, and she even went over and tried to apologize
	saying that she didn't mean to upset him.  He said he wasn't upset.
	He then decided to cancel the party and have a scavenger hunt.  
	Everyone agreed to do it.  They were meeting in one of the buildings
	where they would get their instructions.  Cooper told Ally that they
	were not going to participate in it.  Instead they were going to
	go off, while the others took hours to find everything on their lists.

	Shana is in the apartment with Larry still on the phone with the
	police.  She is upset, and keeps yelling at him.  He said that he
	took a big risk coming over to see her, but he wanted to say that
	he was sorry.  She didn't want to hear anything he had to say.  He
	got her to hang up the phone and he grabbed her and kissed her.  
	She pulled away, slapped him, and started crying.  All he kept saying
	was that he does love her and he was sorry.  Larry finally left and
	Jack came to see Shana.  He told her that she still had a job and
	not to worry because it wasn't her fault.  She said that she found
	love once and was happy with Jim, and how could she think she could
	find it again.  Jack told her she would find it again.  Shana told
	Jack that from now on she is going to be more like him, work, and no
	personal stuff.  He gave her a look and finally realized that he
	is all work and no play.  He goes to the phone to call Stacy, but
	finds out from Sommes that she left, with a suitcase and didn't
	say where she was going.  He got off of the phone and said to
	Shana that he thinks Stacy left him.

	Stacy and Trucker went to Tim Sullivans house and they knocked on
	the door.  This woman answered and Stacy introduced herself and
	Trucker.  They asked if Tim was there, saying that they just wanted
	to ask him some questions.  The woman asked why they needed to see 
	him and Stacy said that she needs to ask him about the Aldens when
	he used to work there.  The woman tried to shut the door on them
	saying that they had the wrong house, but Stacy and Trucker got
	in to see him.  He was sitting in the living room and got up
	when he heard them at the door.  Stacy went in and told him that
	she needs to know what happened in the attic because someone tried
	to burn it down.

	Clay was in Giffs studio admiring the painting of Trisha.  Giff
	came in and wondered how he got in.  Clay said that the door was
	open.  Giff said that doesn't give you the right to come in.
	They started talking about Trisha, and Clay asked for Giffs help
	to bring her back since he was the only one she had called since
	she left.  They said some other things, but I didn't watch.

	That's all I remember from yesterday...

	Alexis

    Did anyone recognize the woman who answered the door at Tim Sullivan's. 
    She played Olga Swenson (Erica's friend) on All My Children.  This
    certainly isn't as glitzy a part as Olga was.
    
    Cheryl

    
    	Cheryl...I thought she looked familiar...at first I thought she
    	was Charlene from general, when I first glanced, but I couldn't
    	figure out who it was...
    
    	Did anyone else wonder why Shana didn't ask Larry for the money
    	back, or at least get the police to come and arrest him.  She
    	didn't even once mention the money...I guess this means that
    	Larry will be off the show now...
    
    	We are losing lot's of characters...they better hurry up and get
    	some new ones...
    
    	Alexis

    Well, the Soap Opera Weekly says that they are going back to the
    original bible of the show, back to the college age kids.  So, it looks
    like the show will be centered around the them.  They will be
    introducing, soon, Casey Bowman, Giff's son and he will be going to
    college at AU also.  Personally, I was quite bored with that part of
    the show yesterday and if the attention goes towards them, I will not
    be taping it.  It does include a lot of characters though, Hannah,
    Cooper, Ally, Casey, Staige, her boyfriend (Name?), Arthur.  They are
    already comparing this group to the Beverly Hills 90210 gang (please!!)
    and are calling them Loving (with the Manhatten zip which I forget). 
    So, be prepared, they are changing this show and IMHO, not for the
    better.
    
    Cheryl

    
    I thought Giff's son was named Rebel?  Oh well, mabye it's a nick name?
    
    I to do not like all the kid stuff, I just might not tape anymore
    either...
    
    L

    I like the kid stuff, it is interesting.  But, the show's original
    focus was not on the college kids.  It has always been on the
    Aldens/Forbes, and Stacy's family, the Donovan's.  There were some
    college kids, but mostly they were the Alden kids, and the Donovan
    kids, etc.  All of them have grown up now (Jack, Lorna, Ava, Stacy,
    Curtis, Trisha).
    
    I like Cooper a lot.  And I like Arthur too.  I also think that Trucker
    is beginning to be a better actor.  The scenes with him mad about
    Trisha leaving are well played.  I would be mad too!  Amazing it took
    him this long to get mad about it.
    
    Thanks for the updates.
    
    Jo

    I have to say that I like the teenage storylines to.  I haven't
    watched Loving from the beginning, but I think the new storylines
    are pretty good.
    
    I like Cooper being on and Arthur as well.  I think there are
    going to be some new storylines coming up that will be good.
    I hope that Dinah Lee and Clay get together and stay for awhile.
    
    I'm glad to hear that Carly is not going to leave the show. I
    couldn't imagine that she and Paul would both leave that would
    really leave noone.
    
    Trucker has been doing a great job lately and I am glad that 
    he is finally mad at Trisha to.  He should be mad at her.
    I wonder why they brought Trisha back just for a second and
    now she's gone again.
    
    I hope she comes back soon to that would be another storyline.
    Since Clay and Dinah Lee are going to be together that would
    make another interesting story since we know she is going to
    be upset with that.
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    	I can't believe they are comparing them to the Beverly Hills 90210
    	gang...not even close...
    
    	I think things are starting to pick up just a little...but this
    	Trisha story line has been dragged out for too long...just bring
    	her back with the baby and get on with it...
    
    	I might hang in there for a little while longer, see what they
    	do with people leaving and coming...should be interesting...
    
    	Alexis

    They have to drag out the Trisha thing since she is at home on
    maternity leave!!  I am forgiving them for this since I wouldn't want
    her to rush back from that. :')
    
    I am sure that the comparison to BH 90210 is just media hype designed
    to get more viewers to tune into Loving and check it out.  I forgive
    them for this too. :') 
    
    I am very forgiving of this show I guess.  I have watched it from the
    beginning and I plan on sticking with it.
    
    Jo

    
    Carly is leaving the show according to SOD (I picked it up lastnight)
    I will bring it in and type what it had to say.
    
    
    :

    Ya, but the Soap Opera Weekly says she is staying.  So, we'll see.  It
    really would make more sense for her to leave.  I saw that in the SOD
    too and had to re-read what I read in the other one.  Such confusion!!! 
    Usually, the SPW is more current though, because it's weeekly.  We'll
    see.
    
    Cheryl

    
    I tend to agree w/ SOD. I find it more relyable.  and like you said it
    does make sence she is leaving...!
    
    Cheryl --> It's nice to see more actiong on EOT::TV in "sisters"
    
    Lou

    Lou, I tend to agree with the other one.  The SOD news is older than the
    SPW.  But, to each his (her) own.  We'll see who "wins" this one, about
    Carly. :')
    
    It does make more sense though to have her leave.  The SPW article said
    that Joe Breen's (Paul) last airdate is May 1 where Paul, Carly and
    Michael move to New York.  Breen goes directly to a key role on ATWT. 
    His first airdate on that show is also May 1, when his character,
    (whose identity is being kept under wraps) turns up unexpectedly in
    Chicago.  Colleen Quinn (Carly) will remain on Loving.  Alexander
    Kniffen (Michael) is leaving the show.
    
    This will be interesting.  I will be at least taping until Friday!!
    
    Cheryl
    
    

    
    Cheryl -->  sure, I love a good battle of soap mags!  I got my gloves
    on..put up your dukes...  :-) tee hee!
    
    Well, Trucker and Stacey almost kissed!  Stacey called Jack to tell her
    where she was and what she was doing, and Jack was very condencending
    to her on the phone..calling his 'little girl' sutff.  Stacy hung up on
    him and then Trucker came in w/ dinner...thye were talking what a jerk
    Jack is for the way was acting and Trucker will have a talk w/ him and
    Trucker was telling Stacy how beautiful she is and how giving she is 
    and they got real close and "almost" kissed.
    
    They pulled away and they said they didn't want to runin there great
    friendship.  They ate dinner and Trucker went back to his room.
    
    They talked to Tim Sullivan a bit more..but Tim didn't want to say
    much.  He seemed very supprised that Isabelle told them that the room
    was Cabots love nest....Tim told them to come back tomorrow and wh will
    tell them whole storey...I don't think Tim will be there..wnat do you
    think?

    with decworld this file is absolutely nothing!  i am dying to hear
    about friday's show, even thursday for that matter.
    
    does anyone have any info? 
    
    fwiw, i knew that staige was going to be going after cooper.

    cj

    
    Hi Carla...yep, I'm here...
    
    I'll put what I can remember from Friday...it seems so long ago!
    
    Paul and Carly were packing to leave for NY.  Ava was in the bedroom
    gathering some of her things.   Carly was saying that she was worried
    about Ava being in there for so long.  Kate came into the bedroom to
    talk to Ava, while Louie and Michael were outside and Carly and Paul
    were in the livingroom.  Ava was saying that she didn't think she can
    go through with this.  Kate hugged her and told her she can, it's the
    best thing for everyone.  Ava agreed.  They finally came out of the
    bedroom and Ava said goodbye to Paul and Carly.  Ally came over and
    said goodbye to everyone too.  
    
    Clay was at AE talking to Gwen about Isabelle voting her in as CEO.
    Clay didn't think she could do it.  She reminded him that she turned
    Amorelle around twice and it's still showing a profit.  He said that
    she might know about makeup, but she doesn't know how to run a company.
    They fought for a while over this...I actually ff through most of it.
    
    Staige went to see Cooper at the mansion to thank him for taking the
    blame for the scavenger hunt.  They had a few words, Staige was kind of
    coming on to him.  She told him that if theres anything he needs then
    call her.  Before Staige came over, Isabelle was laying down some
    ground rules for Cooper.  She wanted him to move out of the frat and
    move back in the mansion.  There was a few other things like study
    more, and take his probation serious.  She also told him to stay away
    from Ally and Hannah.  Cooper left the mansion, leaving Staige there,
    and went to the bowling alley to see Hannah.  Staige thought he was
    going to see Ally.  He talked to Hannah for a little bit, and when she
    gave him back his jacket, he rubbed her hand.  
    
    That's about all I can remember, I'm sure I missed alot of it...
    Can someone else fill in?
    
    Alexis

    well, we can keep the file alive bub eh?  thanks for the update.
    
    i am curious as to how isabelle knows about hannah.  we know that she
    saw alley and cooper kissing.   i assume that she is telling him to
    stay away because they are not from the "proper" families.
    
    i think its about time that jack and stacy give it up.  i mean jeez,
    first lilly, then rick, now what?  they are boring IMO and need some
    other people.  stacy needs a life.  its funny how jack is now like a
    little clay when he was such a good guy in the beginning. the old jack
    wouldn't be able to play such a hard guy, don't you agree?
    
    i can't believe that ava has just handed paul like that.  that is so
    weird.  i wonder what she has up her sleeve for her future.
    
    tracy, are you there?  do you have a same day update?  we can hope
    can't we???
    
    
    cj
    

    Guess Ava is at the mercy of the casting department, both the actor
    playing Paul and the child playing Michael or gone from the show
    totally.  "Paul" is going to another show, I forget which one though.
    According to SOW Carly will return though.

    cj & Alexis->>  Yes I'm here. *^)  I am still in the file and
    wouldn't give up on Loving.  
    
    I haven't been in here that much last week have been real busy
    lately, I'm sure everyone else knows how that goes. *^)
    
    What other soap opera is Paul going on, I forgot if it was
    ATWT or something else.  I am glad that at least Carly is still
    coming back.  That would make for more storylines with her still
    in Corinth.
    
    Addition (I think this happened) to Friday's update.
    
    When Cooper went to see Hannah he asked her to go out on a date
    and she said no because he was seeing someone else.  He wanted
    to thank her for her advice she gave about not doing anything
    stupid the night of the scavenger hunt.  
    
    Cooper wanted to know why she wouldn't go out with him and 
    she said he was with Ally.  He told her it was nothing to
    serious and they are free to see anyone they want.
    
    Hannah didn't agree to go out with him yet, but she did 
    continue talking to him.  
    
    Now for what I saw on today's 5/4............
    
    Trucker and Stacey are talking to the man to get info. on
    the mystery person.  The man isn't to receptive and they
    don't believe him.
    
    Jack and Shanna are having lunch together as he tells her
    about Stacey and is upset over it.
    
    Clay and Dinah Lee run into Hannah and Cooper when they
    were talking.  Dinah Lee gets upset and tells her she 
    shouldn't be talking to him because he is no good!!!!!!
    Cooper tells her he can't blame her for getting upset and
    he leaves.
    
    Dinah Lee tells Hannah not to be around him and Hannah
    tells her that he is a nice guy and she will if she wants.
    Clay and Dinah Lee go to have dinner as they see Gwen.
    Dinah Lee senses that Clay is bothered by her and is now
    worried that he wants to go back to AE when she learns
    that Gwen is trying to take Jack's place.
    
    Clay tells her not to worry because she is the one that
    he wants, not AE.
    
    I think that was about it.  I might not have caught it
    all. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    Hey where is everyone?!?!?!?!?!?!!?  Is anyone here?!?!?!?!
    
    Update for 5/5.........
    
    Gwen is golfing with some men when (I assume the company)
    Clay shows up and asks if they need a foursome.  She of course
    says they have all they need and leaves him standing.
    
    Gwen is having some trouble so Clay gives her some tips on
    golfing and she appreciates it.  He then says well see you
    always could use some help.  He then says like with AE.
    
    Gwen gets upset and tells him off while he laughs and 
    leaves.  She then quickly picks up the phone and is calling
    Dinah Lee at Pins.  They tell her she is at home.  Gwen
    says no message I will go see her at home.  That is the end.
    
    Trucker and Stacey come back to Corinth and they get back
    to her house and she screams for Jack and he does not 
    answer cause he's not home.
    
    Stacey of course is disappointed and says what's new he
    is never home.  They talk about there trip and then Jack
    comes in and Trucker says he will leave them two alone.
    
    Jack is not real happy to see Stacey.  He says you left
    a message for me to be here, which means you finally
    decided to come home now what did you want?!?!!?!?!?!?!
    That is the end.
    
    Staige's boyfriend (Kent?) comes to see Staige and when
    she opens the door he wants a kiss.  She seems a bit
    preoccupied so he asks what the problem is.  He suspects
    that it could be Cooper.
    
    He wants to know what is going on with them.  She says
    they are just friends, but Cooper had come onto her last
    night.  He is not happy and just then Cooper comes in.
    Kent wants to have a talk with him alone as he makes
    Staige leave the room.
    
    He tells Cooper he has got alot of nerve and asks what
    his intentions are with Staige.  Cooper says they are
    just friends that's it.  He doesn't believe him and he
    asks exactly how did you come onto Staige last night
    what did you do?!?!?!?!
    
    Cooper says I know she is yours and I hate to tell you
    this, but she made a pass at me bigtime.  He is very
    shocked at this as he warns Cooper to stay away from
    her.  Cooper leaves.
    
    Staige comes back in and he says he can't believe that
    she lied to him.  SHe said she made a fool out of him 
    when he found out she made a pass at Cooper.  He asks
    her why she did it and she says she doesn't know, but
    she loves him.
    
    He says I want to believe you, but if you do you will
    help me bring Cooper down.  That is the end.
    
    Ava is not happy as she is laying on her bed when Kate
    comes in.  Kate tells her she can handle this.  Ava says
    she can't believe she is back home and in her old bedroom
    again when she has worked so hard to get all the fancy
    clothes and now she has nothing.
    
    She says she can't believe she doesn't have Paul.  Kate
    tells her she did the right thing since he still loved
    Carly.  Ava says ya but that's the last time I do something
    noble again!!!!!!!!!!  They both start laughing.
    
    That was about it for today. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    i am here tracy but its been very busy.  thanks for updating us!
    
    i wonder what the deal with kent is?  wasn't he supposed to be good
    friends with cooper???? hmm.... (as alexis would say)
    
    i also wonder where dl gets off telling her sister to stay away from
    cooper.  afterall, she of all people should know not to judge a book by
    its cover.  
    
    so ava is no longer going to be noble eh?  well, its about time!  i
    wonder if they are going to bring in another man to the show for her. 
    they sure need some.
    
    trisha should be back any day now right?
    
    is jack upset with stacy?  i'm a bit confused about their problems.  
    
    does anyone think that gwyn will be ceo?  and, does anyone think that
    clay and gwyn will go to bed together soon?  i have a feeling that they
    will, probably being together when trisha gets back and dl will find
    out and tell him to get lost so, we will have to wait longer for the
    two of them to be together.
    
    tracy, i'm hoping you will have another same day update.  hint hint..
    
    
    :) cj

    
    
    cj...I have to agree with you about DL...she shouldn't be telling
    Hannah to stay away from Cooper when she doesn't even know him...
    Like Clay is any better...she's never even seen the bad side of Clay.
    
    The reason why Stacy and Jack are always fighting is because Jack
    doesn't spend enough time with her and the kids, and all he seems to
    care about is work.  (same old story)
    
    I hope they do bring Trisha back soon...I think this is gone on long
    enough...it's past old...it's now prehistoric...
    
    And they definately need some new men on the show...Ava needs another
    story line...how many times have we seen Ava try and make something
    out of herself, or change her life?  Too many...I hope they come up
    with something creative to do with her character...
    
    Maybe Kent and Cooper will eventually turn out to be friends...
    after Kent tries to bring him down, and fails, or you never know
    he could succeed and bring Cooper off his high horse, maybe then
    they will be buddies...
    
    Alexis

    re.1847
    
    I to think that Ava needs a new story line.  But if Tina on OLTL could
    finally get a life I think there is lots of hope for Ava.  Ava needs a
    hunk somebody with a little excitement in their life and no previou
    children or wives.  I am sure they will probably have a previous
    girlfriend , they always do.
    
    Someone along the lines of Ken Wahl (Wise Guys) with lots of money and
    power who could fulfill our Ava's most passionate desires.
    
    just my .02

    	Ok...where is everyone?  It's sooooo quiet in here...
    
    	I got to watch yesterdays show, but I don't have time for an
    	update...
    
    	I'll give some highlights...
    
    	Alley told Ava she is in love with Cooper
    	
    	Jack and Stacy had yet another fight...Jack left and Isabelle
    	filled Stacey in on what happened...later, Stacy called Jack at
    	the office, and he got angry and hung up on her. (he was mad
    	because he thinks she is siding with Isabelle)
    
    	Dl mad Clay a stew for lunch and Gwen came to the door.  She 
    	thought it was Clay.  They had a civil talk and Gwen told DL
    	where Clay was (having lunch with the AE board members) and
    	that he won't be showing up.  DL looked hurt...Hannah came home
    	later and DL was throwing the stew away...Clay called and lied
    	to her saying that he was with distributors all morning...
    
    	
    	I think that's about it...pretty boring show yesterday...
    
    	Alexis

    I am still here, reading all the updates, but with little to contribute
    because of time constraints (I am training a temp to take over during
    my leave), and the fact that I am still about a week behind on my
    tapes.
    
    I wonder what they have in store for Ava.  She is still my favorite
    character.
    
    Jo

    Jo-->>  You are leaving, how long will you be gone?!?!?!?!?!!  I
    hope nothing bad.
    
    I do like Ava too, but I hope they give her something to do that
    is worth while for her.  Her character is at a definte stand still
    and it really has been for the last couple months.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    hi alexis, i am with you.  
    
    o.k. folks, how long has alley been on the show?  six months?  a bit
    more maybe?  and, this is the third man she has "loved".  i can't
    believe that they are making out teens to be so fickle.  it doesn't
    nothing for the same age viewers.  
    
    so i guess clay is going back to ea eh?  do you think he really will? 
    and, do you think he is going to try and hide it from dl?  he really
    messed up lying to her.  she is going to dump and him and i still
    believe that he will up in bed with gwyn.
    
    there should be a pregnancy soon on this show, probably alley. well,
    maybe not if trisha just recently was.
    
    thanks for the highlights!
    
    cj
    

    Tracey, see note 31.190.  It explains where Jo will be.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Ken Wahl for Ava...I LOVE IT!  that would be awsome.!
    
    I think Ava is going after another rick mane..you could see it in her
    eyes!  I like Ava better as a wild little witch!
    
    Lou

    .-1, i am confused at your statements.
    
    who is ken wahl, and who is rick mane?  (pardon the ignorance)
    
    
    cj
    

    Ya, I'm confused to guys who is Rich Mane or Ken Wahl?!?!?!?!?!
    I'm like totally lost on this one. *^)
    
    Here is the update for 5/7........
    
    Dinah Lee is upset with Clay when he comes by with some flowers
    and says he is sorry for being late.  She takes the flowers 
    and puts them in the garbage with the stew she made and tells
    him there is his lunch in the garbage!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Clay says he is sorry as she says he always is!!!!!!!!!!! She
    then wants to know why he lied to her.  He says that he didn't
    want to, but he needs to explain.  She says she doesn't want
    his explanation and they are through.
    
    Dinah Lee says that she had a talk with Gwen and she made her
    realize that he won't change.  Clay says don't believe anything
    that she has to say.  Dinah Lee says she has thought about it
    and what she says it true about you.  You will always be a part 
    of AE.
    
    Clay tells her that he can have both.  She says that he really 
    wants to be with AE and she sees his eyes light up when he speaks
    of AE and she doesn't want that.  He tells her that he doesn't want
    to loose her and he can have both.  She says what about our romantic
    courting you promised me, and what about PINS?!?!?!!?
    
    She tells him he can't have his cake and eat it to!!!!!!!!!!!
    He says why not I don't want to give you up.  She tells him
    just to go!!!!!!!!!!!!  He says I'm not going anywhere now
    or ever I am not leaving you.
    
    Trucker goes to see Jack to tell him how wrong he's being about
    Stacey and Jack is mad at Trucker.  He tells him that she had no
    right leaving town and he shouldn't of gone with her.  He then 
    tells him that he should be thankful that he has a wife that is
    good and loves him.
    
    Stacey then walks in and thanks Trucker and asks if she can be
    alone with her husband.  She tells Jack that she heard about 
    what happened with Take-Off and she is sorry.  They finally 
    talk and make up and agree to work with each other.
    
    Kent Staige's boyfriend ontinues to try to plot to destroy
    Cooper and he is making Staige go along with it.  Cooper is
    still liked by all at that bothers Cooper.
    
    That was about it
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    We were trying to figure out who Ava could be invloved with..Ken Whal
    was the lead actor on the TV show wiseguy.  He also did a movie called
    Take Manhatten.  I thought Ava would look good w/ Ken..since his is so
    cute (but I could do w/out the 1 brow over the eyes)
    
    i don't know who Rich Mane is...
    
    L

    I think maybe she meant rich man......????

    I think that Louisa made a typo in .1854.  She meant to say that Ava
    will probably go after another rich man, not Rick Mane!!! :')
    
    Jo

    
    Wow!!!  was I out of it or what???  I can't belive I wrote Rick Mane
    and not RICH MAN!!!!  I am soooo sorry....but, if ya think about it 
    long enough...it is kinda funny!! :_)

    After Clay makes his feelings for Dinah Lee clear to Isabelle, he tells
    Dinah Lee that he's ready to forget all about Alden Enterprises and the
    family.  Giff's son, Casey, badgers Giff into telling him the truth
    about his mother.  Giff also confesses that he feels guilty about her
    death.  Ally is more than a bit upset when she sees Cooper with Hannah. 
    She's downright crushed when Cooper suggest she find someone else. 
    Trisha returns to Corinth with her son, Christopher, but for how long? 
    Stacey discovers Tim Sullivan has been lurking in the secret room. 
    Casey guess Giff is in love with Trisha.  Clay wants to make love but
    Dinah Lee is not ready.
    
    NEXT:  Ally plots (sounds like Ava).  Clay and Dinah Lee begin again.
    
    /red

    does anyone have an update for friday?
    
    so, cooper dumps alley.  i thought for sure that they would make love
    before that. guess they are trying to make cooper out to be a good egg. 
    
    
    has casey been on the show yet?  who wants to bet that is alley next
    man she "falls in love with".  i am very surprized that giff has fallen
    for trisha.  does anyone know if trisha has decided to leave the show
    to care for her family?  seems she might be, but i kinda doubt it.  i
    hope that they don't put her back together with trucker.  i think its
    time they moved on.
    
    well, just some comments, sure is quiet in here today.
    
    
    cj

    
    CJ -->  No, Casey/Rebel has not been on the show yet.  and to my
    knowledge Trisha/Noelle will not be leaving the show.
    
    I will see what I can do for an update for Friday..be back in 1/2hr
    
    Lou

Friday..

Gwen goes to see Giff.  They talk about being friends again.  Gwen can 
never have too meny friends and they snak out on some grapes..Giff likes
the way Gwen peels them.

Gwen notices a painting next to Trisha's and it looks alot like Trisha.  Giff
tell Gwen all about his deseaded wife and the commun and everything..Gwen
ends up leaving him w/ his thoughts...right away Giff makes a bee-line for
the phone and calls and makes reservations for Denver were he and his wife
lived on the commune....(do you think Trisha is there)

---

Trucker is borading up the room and Stacy is inside taking one last look.  She
comes accross a chrystel bell and is daydreaming again...Then we see Tom
Sullivan taking out the same type of bell from a box and ringing it and saying
"Oh my Bell, My Bell"  (maybe meaning ISABELLE) ?? :-)

Stacey hears the banging and starts to yell and get upset thinking she is
being boardedup again..she is realived to see it is only Trucker..

--

Kent put some designer drug in Coopers drink at TJ's and Cooper is acting
wierd..Cooper knows Kent did somthing to him...they start to fight and Kent
is edging him on to fight...the bartender is calling the police when Ally
comes in and gets Cooper out of there and they go to a place in the woods
by the lake...Cooper is thankful and him and Ally start to get close :<)

Cooper pulls away telling Ally that she does not know him and she is not
going to change him...she does not care..and they go back to kissing very
heavely!

--

That is all I can remember,

Lou

    well, thanks much!  i knew that isabelle was the one that was hiding
    out in that room with a man.  bet this time guy is clay's real father. 
    what does everyone else think?????
    
    so giff and his wife stayed at a commune?  i didn't know that.  i guess
    that is why she was in a shack having the baby alone?  they do not
    believe in doctors there i take it!??
    
    i wonder how gwyn is going to feel about giff being in love with
    trisha.  why can't trisha every have a man interested in her that
    hasn't slept with her mom!  i mean really!  was there two pictures he
    has done of trisha now or just the one that trucker didn't want?
    
    well, back to work, thanks again,
    
    cj
    

    Remember, I made that prediction months ago that Cabot wasn't Clay's
    father, and then later that Isabelle was the one that used the secret
    room.  Now that Cabot is dead, Tim Sullivan will want to claim his
    rights to his son  I bet. :')
    
    That Staige needs to do something with her hair. :')  I was watching
    the other day and her bangs were plastered to her forehead.  Very
    unbecoming.  No wonder Cooper turned her down.
    
    Wasn't it weird to see Ava in sneakers and jeans?  Unnatural.
    
    Ava is up to no good.  She told Kate that she wasn't going to be
    getting a career, but she was going to be rich and famous.  Sounds to
    me like she is going to set her sights on another wealthy famous man. 
    Our old Ava is back!  
    
    Jo

    Here is the update for 5/11.......
    
    Dinah Lee and Clay are sitting there and Clay tells Dinah Lee
    that she is invited to Isabele's party.  Dinah Lee grabs the
    invitation and says I wasn't invited!!!!!!!!!  Clay says your
    name isn't on there, but you are my date.
    
    Dinah Lee tells him that she doesn't want to go because she
    is not welcome there and doesn't feel right.  Clay tells
    her she is and he wants her to go.
    
    Clay then goes to see Isabele and they get into a heated
    discussion and Clay isn't happy with her.  He finds out
    she doesn't like Dinah Lee and doesn't want her there.
    Clay doesn't want anything to do with her.
    
    Cooper and Ally are in the woods and are kissing when
    Cooper asks her if she feels it is right.  Ally says
    yes as she tells him to kiss her.  He says I don't 
    think you do, because you are shaking.
    
    She then says for him to go ahead and he asks her if this
    was her first time.  She tells him no and to continue. 
    He isn't happy he says he knows that she has never made
    love before and he doesn't feel it would be right for them
    to.
    
    He asks her if she could make love to him and then let
    him go.  She says of course I can they are not married
    and isn't expecting that.  He says that he doesn't think
    she could be like that without being committed.
    
    He tells her that they should just lay there and look at
    the stars together.  She tells him how wonderful he is
    as he is having some flashbacks to the music that Hannah
    was playing on the piano and remembering him being a
    child as he screams and wants to go.
    
    Ally is a bit confused as he tells her that he doesn't
    want to be committed to anyone right now and he isn't
    going to be her steady boyfriend.  He wants to leave
    and Ally isn't happy.
    
    Meanwhile Hannah is playing the piano and is thinking
    back to all of the times she has seens Cooper and all
    the things that happened.  They showed him giving her
    some dancing lessons, her returning the coat to him and
    him holding her hand, then she remembers when Clay and
    Dinah Lee told her he was no good and then she thinks
    back to when he got upset over the piano music she was
    playing.
    
    She then can't play anymore without messing up and Arthur
    walks in and Hannah is not happy.  Arthur wants to know
    what the problem is as she tells him that she can't 
    concentrate all she is thinking about is Cooper.
    
    Arthur tries to tell her not to think about him and even
    think about getting involved, but she doesn't want to
    listen she admits she is falling for him.
    
    That is the end.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Hi is anyone here?!?!?!?!?!?!  It is another quiet day here in
    the file, I am feeling alone. *^)
    
    I didn't get to see hardly any of Loving today, so I will need
    a update for 5/12 if anyone can do one that would be great.
    
    I only caught.........(behind a spoiler)
    
    Kent was planning on getting Cooper and isn't going to stop until
    he does.  He is really getting obsessed.
    
    Giff and his son were on and his son said some interesting things
    to Giff.  He was giving him a lecture on how Giff has been feeling
    guilty and responsible for his mothers death for all these years
    that he hasn't been able to love any women because of it and also
    he hasn't been able to love his own son.
    
    Giff says that's not true, but his son won't listen and walks 
    away.  His son seems to have hit a sore spot and Giff maybe is
    realizing that what his son is saying is true.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    well, thanks for the partial update.  what does giff's son look like?
    
    i kept dreaming about "oh my bell, oh my bell" last night.  it was
    driving me crazy.
    
    anyways.. thanks again tracy!
    
    cj

    I think that Tim Sullivan and Isabelle should get together.  He is
    quite handsome!!! :')  Maybe he could keep her out of Jack's hair for a
    while.  She needs a diversion. This could be just the thing!
    
    Jo

    
    Giff is at the commune in Colorado.  He is at his wife's Isleas's
    grave.  On the tumb stone it is says "Isleas Casey Bowman"  she died
    in 1972, so that puts Rebel/Casey at age 20!
    
    Giff is talking to the grave (it's her b-day) and he is telling her he
    is all alone this time...they we here a voice say "no your not" and a
    hand goes on Giff's sholder.
    
    Giff turns around and say's "Rebel"  Rebel/Casey tells Giff that he has
    changed his name to Casey...(his mothers maiden name) *note* I hate
    when they do this to us..changing names..oh well
    
    Giff is happy to see Casey...Casey tells Giff (he calls him Giff not
    Dad) that he moved 6 weeks ago and had no phone yet, Casey is upset
    that Giff does not care about where he has been or what he has been
    doing.  Casey wants Giff to be worried about him
    
    Giff tells Casey all about the day Isleas went into labor and how he
    waited to long to call for a doctor and he thinks ti's his fault she
    died..Casey assures him it is not his fault
    
    Casey tells Giff he can't love anyone and they get into a samll
    arguement and Casey runs off.
    
    *note* we are seeting alot of outside of Corenth!  like what the Alden
    house looks like and what AU looks like it's nice to see the outside
    for a change.
    
    Gwen is at an opera wearing the dress that her and DL both had on at
    Bernel's store (the black butterfly one)  Gwen is there w/ a board
    member.  The opera gets to her and she is cring softly..the opera ends
    and the Board member leaves.
    
    Clay come in the booth and they babble about DL and AE (you get the
    pitcher)
    
    Ally tells Ava she wants to have sex w/ Cooper to keep him.  Ava is
    tring to tell her no and to back off..Ally agrees to pretend to back
    off and act like she does not care...Ava is sitll trying to tell her it
    wont work...Ava is going to make an appoitment w/ her Gyno for Ally so
    she can get on the pill...since Ally is going to have sex w/ Cooper Ava
    wants to be sure she is totaly protected.

    Lou-->>  Have a nice time having the rest of the week off. *^)
    
    I can give you just a partial on what I saw, which wasn't much.
    
    Partial Update for 5/13......
    
    Clay goes to see Dinah Lee and tells her that he misses her
    and really wants her.  He says he had a talk with Isabele
    and realizes that AE is not what he wants.
    
    He tells her that he really does want her.  Dinah Lee is happy
    and says are you sure.  Clay is very sincere when he tells
    her he is and he knows he doesn't care about AE.
    
    Ally and Ava are at the store shopping when Cooper is there.
    Hannah comes in and he and Hannah are talking.  Ally comes
    over there and says can we talk.  Cooper says does it have
    to be now.  She says yes I need to talk to you about last
    night.
    
    Hannah looks upset as she turns away and Ava is telling
    Ally that she shouldn't go after Cooper.  Ally says she
    wants to she wants him!!!!!!!!!  She then goes back to
    Cooper and says lets go.  They end up leaving together.
    
    Giff is talking to a man that says he saw Trisha in
    Corinth.  Giff can't believe that he says he saw Trisha
    last week, here in Corinth.
    
    That was about all I saw. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Thanks for the partial.  I am taking tomorrow and Friday off too, so
    maybe I will finally get caught up on my tapes.  Still at least a 
    week behind.
    
    
    
    Wonder who the man was that saw Tricia in Corinth?  Wonder where she
    has been staying?
    
    Jo

    cj-->>  You asked what Giff's son looks like and you know who
    kindof reminded me of was David Rampal (Jerm's son on AMC, if
    you watch it) He really isn't bad looking, but he is nothing
    to rave about. *^)
    
    Jo-->>  I was really wondering who the man who that saw Trisha
    and I wasn't sure.  I don't know if it was my mini tv or me. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    
    
    

    
    
    	I got to watch a little yesterday, I ff'd through most of it...
    
    	I think that Giff's son is pretty ugly!  I hate his hair...
    	It just kind of hangs there, with no real style to it...
    	Maybe if he styled it, it would look alot better.
    
    	I'll give a little update from yesterday...(from what I can
    	remember)
    
    	*  Ava was still at Burnells shopping with Kate, and Kate decided
     	   to go to another section of the store...Ava, who was dressed
    	   in a read suit with a red hat on...was making fun of all the
    	   the clothes and all the accessories...Hannah was there at the
    	   counter laughing while she was ranting and raving about the
    	   store...this geeky guy came walking over and told Ava he 
    	   would kick her out if she didn't stop saying things.  He was
    	   saying that he was the owner's nephew (I think) and that he
    	   runs the store now.  Ava told him that if he would like to
    	   have fashionable clothes, then give her a call, her number is
    	   at personnel.  Just then the geek gets paged over the intercom
    	   and he goes to see the boss...Ava apologized to Hannah for 
    	   getting her involved, since she was standing there, and Hannah
    	   said it was ok, that she was funny.  Later the geek comes back
    	   and tells Ava that she has an interview and to set up some time
    	   with personnel.  They show a video camera, then flash to a guy
    	   looking at Ava on the tv screens in a little room...looks like
    	   they are setting Ava up with someone soon!!  (we didn't get to
    	   see what he looked like)
    
    	*  Ally spotted Cooper staring at Hannah and dragged him out to
    	   talk...she's pretty determined to hold on to him...
    
    	*  Some guy offered Clay and DL a deal for Pins...I guess he
    	   offered them executive positions with his company, if they
    	   sell Pins to him...DL was excited, but Clay was a little
    	   hesitant...
    
    	*  Giff and his son had a talk about Casey growing up and not
    	   having a father...(I felt kind of bad for him)  But looks
           like he will be over it and come back to Corinth with Giff.
    
    	Well...that's about all I can remember!  Sorry if this has already
    	been put in here...just thought I would give some highlights...
    
    	Alexis

    
    Hi Alexis,
    
    Thanks for the update!  The guy ava was talking to was the owners
    nephew.  His name was BASIL (with an "ah").
    
    I can't wait to see who they hook Ava up with...
    
    Donna

    
    
    	Oh yeah...now it's all coming back to me...
    
    	That scene was actually very funny the way that Ava was making fun
    	of Basil, with an ah...
    
    	Yesterday's show was ok...
    
    	I'll give a quick run down...
    
    	Giff and Casey are talking to the guy that saw Trisha, didn't catch
    	the conversation, but Giff knows that Trisha is in town
    
    	Ally got dumped by Cooper...he told her that she will eventually
    	find someone that will make her happy.  She told him she doesn't
    	want to find anyone, she wants him...they also talked about Hannah.
    	Ally said that he saw the way he looks at her.  Cooper denied
    	everything saying that he doesn't want a relationship with anyone
    	right now...(little bit of reality right there!) Ally told him that
    	she doesn't believe him...he eventually left after breaking her
    	heart.  Once Cooper left, Ally said to herself that he would be
    	back.
    
    	Trucker and Stacy boarded up the room in the tides...while they
    	were there, the guy that Trucker hired to find Trisha came by and
    	told Trucker that they got a lead and as soon as he knew more he
    	would let Trucker know...
    
    	At the end, we see Trisha walking into the restuarant that Giff
    	and Casey were at.  Looks like she was picking up more milk for
    	the baby because she had a bottle with her and she said to the
    	waitress that she can't believe how hungry he was...
    
    	Looks like they are going to find out where Trisha is soon...I bet
    	Giff sees her today...this has gone on long enough, I hope
    	something happens real soon!
    
    	Alexis
    
    	

    If Trucker were smart he'd dump Tricia when she gets back and find
    someone who cares enough to stay and work through their problems 
    instead of running off every time.  If she has any more kids, I 
    hope they change the method they use to get her off the show
    temporarily.

    Clay and Dinah Lee say they are going to go to Chicago to start
    there lives and a business adventure.  They tell each other they
    love each other also.
    
    Clay wants to sleep with Dinah Lee and she tells him that they
    will when they get to Chicago.  He agrees and then they go to
    tell Hannah the news.  She is happy for them, but says she is
    not moving to Chicago.

    I saw a blurb in TV Guide about the woman who plays Staige Prince. 
    Seems she is into jazz in a big way, has an album that is about to come
    out, and her dad was famous in jazz circles.  Anyway, she made some
    comment about how if Loving starts to go down the tubes in the ratings
    it isn't her fault (since Loving was low before she came) but if it
    goes up in the ratings she will "take the credit".  She came across as
    a real snob.  But, the pic of her dressed in 40's style made her look
    much more attractive than she is on the show.
    
    Jo

    
    Thanks for the info on Staige...what a snob!
    
    Trucker got arrested for fighting in the cafe.

    	Did anyone watch a rerun of Hunter the other nite?  Giff was on
    	there...I didn't get to watch the whole show, but he seemed like
    	kind of a bad guy!  Looked the exact same...
    
    	I missed the show yesterday because my VCR is screwed up...I can
    	see what's happening, but I can't hear what they are saying...
    
    	Thanks for the highlights Lou...

    Update : the first Ava's name was Roya (not sure of the spelling but
    that is
    how it sounds)
    
    Ally got some wine, flowers and candles ready for Cooper in the carrige
    house.
    she was going to get him down there and bop him I guess.. :<)
    
    She tells him to meet her there to help her get some charis..he being a
    man
    falls for this..
    
    Kate delays Ally and Cooper is there waiting and he see's the romance
    she
    has instore for him when Hanna comes in and they start to talk about
    his
    childhood becaue of all of Coopers parents stuff stored in the carriage
    house.
    Hanna comes accross a piano..Cooper has a stunded look on his face.

    had, and IsaBELL looks to be in shock when she see's it..
    
    l

    
     I thought Roya was the second Ava.  I thought the first one had long 
     straight brown hair and wore blue jeans alot.  She was more earthy...
     and had a major crush on Jack (when Jack had a thing for the girl who
     went bonkers---I dont remember her name).  She didnt last too long,  
     I dont remember how long she was on.  Then I think Roya was next, and 
     then another one who looked similar to Lisa....  4 Avas I think....
    
     ELW

    
    There has ONLY been 2 Ava's! Roya and Lisa.  Red, are you gonna back me
    on this one?  the girl who went bonkers was Lilly..there is one thing I
    know and I know Loving..

    Behind Spoiler:
    
    
    re: Ally and Casey.... aka Rebel...
    
      I can't really see them together either especially after she's been
    chasing Cooper and living in the sorority house. (Maybe after she'd
    stop seeing Matt but not now...)  But I could understand her attraction
    to him since he's Giff's Son... maybe I'm just hoping that she'll stop
    chasing cooper... (it's so hard to watch people grovel/beg for love
    from someone who's just not INTERESTED...) Course she's getting paid to
    grovel ;^)
    
       later,
    
        Sue
    
    

    ELW:
    You are right, The first AVA used to work with Jack at the Construction
    site...I forgot about that...
    
    Donna

    
    
    
    
    I saw the show today..not much happend, plus I was inturpetted by a
    phone call..here are the highlights.
    
    Ally made up w/ Staige but admitted she was still in love w/ Cooper
    
    Staige told Kent that they can use Ally to get at Cooper at the big
    year end dance.
    
    Clay danced around his CEO position when he was on the phone w/DL. 
    Gwen was on the other phone listening and told Clay off when they get
    off the phone..
    
    Trisha is on her way home w/Trucker and Chirstoffer and Clay get a call
    that THEY have found Trisha..Clay is on his way to meet them..
    (who THEY are I don't know..maybe a PI?)
    
    I missed the part w/ Tim and IsaBELLE..
    
    Lou

    
    OH! by the way..Rebel/Casey is [[FUGLY]] IMHO!
    
    L

    Well guys I have to agree that Casey and Ally....NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!  I would think that would be GROSS.  Maybe if
    he cuts his hair and fixes himself up, but he is in a serious
    need for a groom job!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I wonder what will happen with Clay and Dinah Lee.  I hope that
    the two of them stay together.  I think they are good for one
    another.  I really don't think she is going to be happy with
    Clay at all when she finds out that he didn't tell her about
    CEO.
    
    You would think that Clay would learn to be HONEST.  I guess
    some people never learn as much as they try to.
    
    Since Trisha is finally coming back to Corinth I wonder if 
    she and Trucker (BORING) will become one big happy family or
    if she and Giff will end up together.  That should be interesting.
    
    Staige and Kent's plan I am sure will backfire using Ally as
    there key person to bring Cooper down.  Hannah will somehow be
    the one to save him.  I wish they would tell us what the thing
    is with Cooper's mother and the piano.
    
    I can't wait to find that out. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    I'm way behind on my tapes (6 days), so I could be way off but.. based
    on what I've read in these notes re: Cooper and his "problem" 
    
    could be:  His was sexually assaulted by his Nanny who may have been
    unbalanced. (I saw one scene where he was thinking back to where he was
    a little boy and someone was playing that song on the piano and it was
    really bothering him.)  Since he said his Mother and Father were never
    around..
    
    or: When Ally asked him about his first "time" and he acted weird.
    
    Or maybe a family member had "emotional" probs. We all know soaps love
    to hide people away in attics   ;^)
    
    just my opinion.... any other ideas?
    
      Sue
    

    
    is anyone around anymore?  i wish i could update but i can't.. haven't
    seen the show in ages.
    
    actually, that is NOT true.  i caught a second or two of the show on
    tuesday and just saw trucker and trisha.  her hair grows so fast.  she
    looked very good.  obviously didn't gain the weight that she did the
    first time around.  she was giving trucker a hard time about not
    wanting to move back into the house with him because it might put
    pressure on christopher.  puleeze.
    
    can anyone give any updates?  much thanks..
    
    cj

    I hope Trucker drops Tricia like a hot potato.  I like her but it is
    driving me crazy the way the writers keep having her run away from
    him every time she gets upset.  Seems like there are more creative 
    ways to deal with a maternity leave.

    Well guys I have been watching Loving, but not the whole show
    everyday.  It is on, but have been busy at work and I finally
    got my cable correctly hooked up, so I could tape it. 
    
    This file has been kindof slow lately, I always do come in
    the file though. *^)
    
    I will give you what I saw on today's though......
    
    Hannah is playing the piano at her recitle or whatever she
    is playing at when Cooper comes in and watches her.  He is
    smiling when he starts to think back when he was a child
    as he is watching a women play the piano.
    
    She is playing as he is watching when she goes to hug him
    and says she is there for him.  It appears it was his nanny
    because he screams out NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was right in
    front of everyone she was playing for.  That was the end.
    
    Trucker and Trisha come back to Corinth with Christopher
    and they take him to see Isabelle and Stacey.  Isabelle
    immediately wants to take care of Christopher as she hovers
    over him.
    
    Trucker is upset and tells her that he is a McKinzie and
    not an Alden and he will be raised by him and he is keeping
    him.  Stacey hurries to take Christopher to change him when
    Trisha is shocked at Trucker.  That is the end.
    
    Earlier Clay had a talk with Isabelle and told her that 
    he knew what she is up to.  I didn't hear his answer, but
    I'm quite sure he accepted.
    
    That was all I saw. *^)

      I have to say one thing .... I still can get used to seeing Travis
    oops I mean Clay with DL... Isn't he like more than 20 years older than
    her?  Actually its not the age difference its prob. just him... I know
    others like them together but his acting has a way of bothering you
    after a while... 
    
      oh well enough complaining for a Rainy Monday... 
    
      Have a good one!

    where is everyone in this file?  i can't even comment much as i don't
    remember where we have left off.  does anyone have any updates?
    
    -.1 i don't agree with you about dl and clay being 20 years apart. 
    although i do know that is true, dl is about 25 and clay being 45
    he just doesn't look it to me.  i put him in his late 30's.. or at
    least think he looks that young.  just MO of course.
    
    we need some updates!!! a million thanks to anyone who can offer
    anything!
    
    bub, have *you* been watchin??????

Hanna is playing in her recital (sp) and Cooper comes in and yells out
his nanny's name (I forgot the name  Cassandra maybe) and he runs out.
Hanna runs after him and DL tries to stop her telling her she is throghing
everything away..Hanna does not care and she goes after Cooper (Kate and Louie
were listening to everything)

Hanna's professor comes to see DL and is upset w/ Hanna and he tells her about
Cooper hanging around Hanna alot and it is disturbing her..DL is upset

--

Ally comes in looking for Cooper and K&L tell her what happend and Ally is
upset that Hanna is in the pitcher again..K&L try to talk to her but this
woman is obsessed..Ally goes to look for Cooper

--

Hanna is at the carriage house w/ cooper and Cooper is in a weird state..he
is thinking back when he was a kid...he is looking for "KING" Hanna thinks it
was a pet but it was a solder he gave to his nanny for protection from his
farther...he is sitting at the piano thinking back..Hanna cant reach him

Trisha calls for Giff to take her to the Corenth towers and Trucker is still
fighting w/ Isabelle and Stacy is trying to talk Trisha into not calling Giff.
Giff comes and TRucker is upset and Trisha leaves..Stacy calms Trucker down
and tells him he will get to see his son tonight if he listens to her.

    Thanks for the update and Lou!  And thanks Tracey for your updates too.  
    I have been real busy at work and also haven't had much time to watch
    my tapes.  I get in here and read whenever I can (usually during
    lunch).  So, I really appreciate it when there's an update in here.
    
    Ally is really driving me nuts!  She gets sooooooo involved in a man so
    quickly!  Somebody tell her to grow up, please!  I also think Giff's
    son is pretty gross to look at.  Let him and Alley fall in love and
    then go off to never-never land!
    
    I can't wait to meet Ava's boss!  I saw it the other day when the
    nephew was giving Ava a hard time about her ideas on the manequins.  He
    was saying that he graduated with a degree in design or something so he
    knew fashion.  Ava told him his taste stinks!  The boss was watching
    and listening to everything from a booth that has little tv sets with a
    monitor in every corner of the store.  He thought the little tif
    between Ava and his nephew were pretty funny.  Of course, we only heard
    him laugh, never saw his face.  Kinda like Charlie of Charlie's Angels.
    Then he called Ava to his office and told her what a good job she was
    doing and to keep it up.  She thought it was very creepy that she was
    hearing his voice through an intercom but couldn't see his face.....I
    would've thought it was creepy too!
    
    Gotta go.  Thanks again for the updates!

    Partial update for 6/2..........
    
    Trisha is upset over the situation with Trucker and calls Giff.
    They are talking when Trisha gets a knock at the door it is
    Trucker.  He wants to come in and talk to her.  She tells him
    no she is to tired and Christopher is sleeping, so it wouldn't
    be a good time.
    
    She tells him she will call him in the morning.  He says no
    I will be right next door to be by my son.  Trisha wants to
    know why he did this.  He says noone should keep me from my
    son!!!!!!!!!!!!  Giff then shows his face and says hi.
    
    Trucker is upset and asks what is he doing here.  Giff says
    they are just friends and Trucker says some friend he helps
    his wife deliver his son and then lets her take off before
    he gets there then keeps it from him on where she is staying.
    
    Giff tells him that he didn't do it on purpose and did what
    Trisha wanted.  Giff decides to leave and Trucker tells Trisha
    he is tired of him always being around.  Trisha explains that
    she is the one that called him.
    
    Trucker tells her that is why he is going to be next door, so
    she won't run to Giff!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Trisha says Stacey was
    taking his side at her grandmothers house.  Trucker says it
    was Stacey's idea for me to move next door and she is only
    trying to help us.
    
    She is not sticking her nose where it doesn't belong.  He
    says she only wants the best for us.
    
    Clay sees Dinah Lee and she is not happy with him.  She
    wants to know why he lied to her and why he didn't tell
    her what was going on.  Just then Gwen walks in and tells
    Clay that he should be careful since Trisha is home and
    she will be upset when she finds out about him and Dinah Lee.
    
    He agrees and Gwen leaves.  Dinah Lee says she really felt
    stupid being in the same room when he talks to his ex-wife
    as he tells her it means nothing.  Dinah Lee then says how
    long were you going to make me believe that you were going
    to be in Chicago.
    
    She says here I am planning a life in Chicago for us while
    you are planning one here for yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    She then says and why didn't you tell me you were on a
    plane with your exwife when you went to search for Trisha?!?!?!?1
    
    Clay says let me explain Gwen got on the plane when I didn't
    even know she was going to be on.  He says she found out I
    was chartering a plane and was just there.  Dinah Lee says
    you didn't even tell me when you called me.
    
    Clay says let me explain a minute.  He says I couldn't tell
    you on the phone we only talked for 5 minutes and I wanted to
    tell you everything in person.  Dinah Lee says forget it it
    isn't going to work it's over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    She is about to leave when he says he doesn't want it to be
    and he wants her to let him explain.  He tells her that he
    hadn't decided about taking the CEO and he really wanted to
    talk to her in person.
    
    She says you know this would never work with you as CEO
    with your family.  She says your family hates me and they
    wouldn't accept me.  He says they could work around it and
    they could make it work.
    
    She says you know Trisha ran because of me and noone would
    accept me.  Clay says they can work it out he loves her
    very much.  Then I missed what she said.
    
    The next scene I saw was Clay at Trisha's with Gwen holding
    the baby.

    Addition to today's update. *^)
    
    Tim Sullivan goes to see Isabelle and she is surprised to
    see him.  He says he had to come and see her.  She says she
    told him to go and he says he knows she loves him.
    
    He tells her that she always has loved him and used Cabot
    as a replacement for him.  She finally admits that she did
    love him and he wants to stay.
    
    I missed some of that also, so I don't think I got all of
    that. *^)

    Alright...I'm having a tough time here...
    
    I don't know if anyone saw my last note, but I had to get rid of
    it and tried to redo it and put it back, but it didn't work!
    
    I'm not going to re-type it because I don't remember what I said,
    so I'll start fresh...
    
    carla...did you get married????
    
    Alexis

    I was trying to move Alexis' reply back to its original place
    when the file flaked on me.  I got the note moved and found that
    this topic thought it still had 12 replies.  I fixed the reply
    count and went on to do other things.  I, for some reason, decided
    to come back to 12.1910 and be sure it was still there and the
    darned thing is gone.  I'm not sure what happened.
    
    Alexis, can you post it again?  Do you still have it in your buffer?
    I promise I'll leave it alone this time.
    
    Jan

    Alexis, just saw your note.  Notes collision again.  I'm relieved
    to know that there isn't a major problem brewing with the file.
    I thought I was going nuts here when the reply disappeared as I
    moved it.

    Questiong:
    
    Isabelle was not married yet to Cabot when she was sleeping w/ Tim.  
    Why did Isabelle have a secret room in the Alden's summer home?  She
    was not an Alden yet...why would she be in an Alden home?  Isabelle
    was a prim and proper well brought up young lady..she would'nt of lived
    w/ Cabot before marriage...she wouldnt of lived in the family home
    either...where did she get the $$$$$$$$ to fix up the room?
    
    Maybe...Tim had the room made up for her?  Where did he get the $$$$$
    
    I just hate little nagging things like that..
    
    Lou

    Christopher Cass (Jack) leaves Corinth mid-July.  The part is not being
    recast.  No big loss, IMHO.
    
    Cheryl

    well well well, i guess trucker and stacy will be an item soon then.
    i wonder what will be the cause for his leaving.  no big loss IMO 
    either but it will be weird to have stacy with children and no husband.
    
    how does the person who asked about tim and isabelle know that she had
    the room with him before she was married?  could you give us some more
    detail?  much thanks in advance.
    
    and thanks for the updates!  nice to see some action in this file
    again.  personally, i don't feel as though i'm missing much when i get
    the updates because if i did watch i would ff through the trisha
    scenes.  IMHO (again) they ruined the character of trisha.  i wonder
    how long it will be till she is with giff.  
    
    thanks again!  oh and yes alexis, i got married two weeks ago.
    
    cj

    cj -->  Isabelle was seeing Tim before she married Cabot...this was
    stated quite a few times on the show.  She ended up choosing to marry
    Caobt instead of Tim (I belive she was preggers w/ Tim's child and
    wanted a good life for the child and told Cabot it was his)
    
    The room is set up for a woman and looked like it was quite lived in
    once apon a time.  It was set up in such fashion that a stable boy
    could not afford to fix it up that way.
    
    Once Isabelle marreid Cabot Tim left town w/ a broken heart.

Cheryl

I got to watch Thursday and Friday's show.  I think there's already an 
update in here for Thursday, so I'll do what I can remember from 
Friday, but I might mix up some. 

Trucker and Trisha were getting along.  Trucker was showing Trisha the 
cradle he made for Christopher.  Trisha was excited and surprised.  
She couldn't believe that he could make such a beautiful thing and was 
surprised at his talent. (I found that totally unbelievable because 
Trucker made a cradle exactly like it for Ben!!  Did Trisha and the 
writers forget that little detail?!?  I remember him working on it 
almost every day at the cabin.  And after Ben died, I believe Trucker 
had one of his tantrums and threw the cradle, breaking it into pieces.)

Anyway, Trucker told her he made it to keep himself busy and hoped that 
his son would be able to enjoy it.  He then asked her if he could put
the baby in it and Trisha gave him Christopher and he laid him down in 
it.  (This baby is soooo good!  He's not all that cute, but he's so 
quiet.  He's really a well-natured baby.)  They both leaned over the 
cradle and talked without getting mad at each other.  They were 
finally communicating and Trisha said it was nice.  I forget what 
happened but Trisha apparently left and Trucker was by himself when 
there was a knock on the door.  It was Giff.  Trucker of course 
snapped at him and told him Trisha wasn't home.  Giff said he was 
there to see him.

Trisha is visiting Stacy and told her that the baby was with his 
father.  Stacy said that was great and they must be making progress.  
Then Trisha told her how she's even making peace with Clay cuz he told 
her that he is through with DL.  Stacy tried to change the subject, 
knowing that wasn't true.  Then Stacy left the room, I think, and 
Trisha saw the newspaper announcing the marriage of Clay and DL (she 
didn't know it was fake, I don't think).  Next we see DL and Trisha 
enters screaming at her that it wasn't enough for her to take her 
husband, but now she's taking her father too.  The End for that scene.


Not sure when this happened.......but our famous Detective Stacy 
finally figured out that Tim's love is Isabelle!!  It's about time, 
"Nancy Drew"!!  She was in the secret room and put on a shawl that was 
there and was looking at the bells.   Her back was to the door and Tim 
walked in and yelled out "Belle"!!  Stacy turned around.  It clicked and 
she said, "Isabelle Alden, that's who you love!"  Of course he denied 
it, but Stacy didn't buy it.  She finally figured out that it was 
Isabelle who had that room and it was Cabot who caught them, threw him 
out and sealed up the room.  Tim denied everything and tried to tell 
her she was crazy.

I still don't understand why Isabelle would have a secret room in an
Alden home when she wasn't married to Cabot yet!  Was she the daughter
of a maid and lived there or something?  Just doesn't make sense.  I
thought for sure the affair happened after Cabot and Isabelle married
until they had that flashback of Isabelle telling Tim that Cabot asked
her to marry him and she accepted so she had to say good-bye to him. 
Wonder if they did that so that Isabelle would still seem like the
proper woman? 

Also, stuff happened with Cooper and Hannah.  This story intrigues me 
for some reason.

Cooper and Hannah enter the cottage (actually big house) that Cooper 
spent the summers in.  Hannah finally got Cooper to open up some.  He 
told her about his Nanny, Elisa and how much fun they had that last 
summer when he was 12.  She used to play him the piano and they had 
long walks on the beach collecting shells and stuff.  Then his 
birthday came.  His parents always came home for his birthday, but 
that year they sent him a gift from Japan.  It was a vase!!  Just what 
a 12 year old boy wants!  Elisa (I think that's her name) tried to 
comfort Cooper and tell him that his parents really love him and maybe 
they are just running late.  He got mad and smashed the vase on the 
floor and ran to his room.  (This was all shown in flashbacks)  The 
Nanny followed him to his room and comforted him.  He put her arms 
around him and told him she loved him.  The word, "I love you" echoed 
as Cooper came back to reality and that  was the end.


Spoiler, I think



I read in the TV guide that Cooper had a flashback of his Nanny 
getting into bed with him.  That supposedly happened last week.  I'm 
pretty sure Friday ended with the Nanny sitting on the edge of 
Cooper's bed and hugging him.  I wouldn't consider that "getting into 
bed with him."  Either the TV guide wants us to assume something, or 
what's going to happen is the Nanny will seduce him.  

I've been guessing this all along, but when they had the flashbacks, 
the 12 year old boy looks so little, that I can't imagine it 
happening.  But, I suppose it does in this sick world.  Anyway, I'm 
guessing that the parents come home and find the Nanny in bed with 
Cooper and do something:

	1)  Kill her and hide the body
	2)  Fire her and ruin her chances of getting another job
	3)  Have her arrested

Whatever they did, I bet it was so Cooper would never see her again 
and she will always be his one true love.


Hope I didn't repeat anything.  Please add what I forgot and keep the 
updates coming!  I probably won't get to watch again all week. I 
usually only get to see Friday's show.

Linda

    
    Thanks Linda!  The Nanny's name is/was Selina (not sure of the spelling
    but that is what is sounds like)
    
    I think the Nanny got raped by Coopers farther and Cooper saw and then
    Selina either killed her self or the farther killed her and Cooper
    hated his parents for taking the one thing he loved or that loved him.
    
    Anything is possible...
    
    Lou

    
    Wow, Lou, that's quite a theory!!! Ever consider writing for the
    soaps???  Your idea sounds much more watchable than see her slip into bed
    with a 12-year old.  I mean this is the 90's, but I couldn't handle
    watching that!
    
    I guess we have to wait and see what's going on.
    
    I wish Ally would drop off the face of the earth in the meantime.  At
    first I thought she was acting like Ava used to and this was going to
    be another great conniving fortune-hunter...but she doesn't even rate!
    
    I liked the show much better when Ava was the main storyline.  Bring
    back the old Alex and pair them up again.  They were so great...
    They need to come up with something to keep us glued!
    
    Even though I'm complaining, I'm still taping every day, but I 
    don't always get to watch.  The only good thing about the sagging
    storyline is that I don't get hysterical when I miss a show or two!
    
    Well, I've rambled enough.
    Donna

    
    Thanks for the complement Donna!  I would love to write for the show
    instead of being here :-) 
    
    I watched the show, but no time for an update..I'll see what I can do
    later on for you all.
    
    Lou

    Lou

    Sorry I don't have an update!  But I'd also love to read one.  Did
    anyone get to watch the show?  I'm dieing to know what happened to
    Cooper and his Nanny.
    
    Thanks for Monday's update, Lou!
    
    Linda

    Well guys I watched yesterday's since I was home sick.  
    
    Here is the update for 6/10......
    
    Dinah Lee goes to see Gwen to talk to her about Clay.  She
    tells her that she knows she wants Clay back.  Gwen laughs at
    her and tells her that she doesn't want him back she had him
    before.  Dinah Lee says I see the way you look at him.
    
    Gwen tells her that she will never be accepted in the family
    when DL tells her she is tired of apologizing for sleeping
    with Trucker, but she is sick of Trisha' selfish behavior!!!!!
    DL tells her that how dare she run off with his son for 3
    months without letting him see him!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DL tells Gwen that she couldn't keep him when she was married
    now don't try to think she can have Clay back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Gwen tells her that she won't be able to keep Clay.  DL is
    on her way out as she says you may have Clay in the boardroom
    but I have him in the bedroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    DL slams the door and Gwen says little girl I had him in the
    bedroom long before you and if I want him I can have him.  She
    sits down by herself on the couch and is thinking of her and
    Clay working together and then Clay starts putting the moves
    on her and she loves every minute of it.
    
    They then show DL coming in with little rollers hanging in
    her hair as she is screeching that she is the one that he
    is suppose to be doing that with.  Then Clay is saying to
    Gwen do you hear anything?!?!?!?!?!  Gwen says no, Clay says
    it sounds like someone screeching.
    
    They continue kissing and laying on a bed when DL finally
    says I made you pot roast and salad.  Gwen tells her that
    pot roast and salad isn't business or sex, so get out.
    DL starts to cry and then Gwen comes back to reality.
    
    Clay goes to see Trisha as she wants nothing to do with him.
    He tries talking to her and she tells him he hasn't changed
    a bit he is still a liar.  He tells her he didn't tell her
    because he knew how upset she would be.
    
    She tells him he will never change and how dare he be with
    Dinah Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He wants to explain to her how it
    happened and she doesn't want to listen.  Trucker is there
    and tries to tell Trisha to give him a chance.
    
    She tells Clay to leave and so he does.  Trucker talks to
    Trisha and tells her that it wasn't like she was thinking
    it happened with Clay and Dinah Lee and she shouldn't be
    mad at them.  Trisha tells him not to stick up for DL.
    
    Trucker tells her that he is the one she is mad at for 
    sleeping with DL.  She admits it and he then says do you
    believe that nothing happened between DL and me?!?!?!?!
    She says yes.
    
    He then says do you love me?!?!?!?!!?  She says do you love
    me?!?!?!?!?!?!  She says I want to love you, but I can't
    because I can't trust you and I am afraid you are going to
    hurt me again.  Trucker says I am afraid to love you because
    I feel like you are going to run off.
    
    They both look at each other and Trucker says I guess that's
    all that needs to be said.  He leaves and she is upset and 
    so is Trucker.
    
    DL goes to see Clay back at Pins and they talk.  She says
    she went to see Gwen and stood up to her.  Clay says he is
    happy she did that, but then says I thought you would throw
    your arms around me and be happy.  He says I would, but I
    went to see Trisha and she is upset over us.
    
    DL telsl him that she will come around.  She says that she
    wants Clay and will stick by him and won't give up on him
    he says he won't give up on her ither.  She tells him he
    better not.  She then says that she accepts him working 
    with his ex-wife at AE.
    
    She says she found out what happened with his mother from
    Gwen and realizes why he took the position.  They both kiss
    and says how much they love each other.
    
    Gwen is still alone as she is saying she will get Clay back.
    
    That's about it.

    thank you, thank you, thank you!!  Great update Tracey.
    
    Guess they didn't show Cooper and Hannah with flashbacks??  They are
    really going to drag out him telling the story to Hannah, aren't they!
    
    Gee, any possibility of a same day update today??  Guess I'm asking too
    much!  I'll take it tomorrow though!  
    
    Thanks!
    
    Linda

    Linda here is your sameday update. *^).........
    
    Hannah and Cooper are talking and she wants him to finish what
    he was telling her and he won't.  He says that he can't see
    her anymore.  She is crushes.
    
    He tells her he can't hurt her and get involved with anyone
    because he has never cared for anyone like he does her.  He
    leaves her and she is upset.
    
    Hannah goes back home and Dinah Lee wants to know what is
    wrong with her.  She tells her the story and of course DL
    says it was the best thing and that she told her he would
    break her heart.
    
    Hannah says he isn't like that and she believes if he would
    let her she could fall in love with him.  DL is shocked
    and then they start to talk about her and Clay's situation
    and Hannah is interested in that.
    
    Clay and Gwen are at the office for there first day of work
    together.  Clay is a bit upset with Gwen and lets her know
    he really doesn't like working with her.  They bicker back
    and forth as Clay thinks that Gwen wants to take over the
    office.  
    
    Gwen finally says they will have to win the office, one of
    them.
    
    Shanna and Jack talk and Jack is very upset over Clay and
    Gwen taking over AE.  Shanna tells him to go on with his
    life he has a family and he should be a bit more grateful.
    He doesn't care about that he wants to get revenge. 
    
    I think that was about it for today.
    
    
    Tracey
    

That was a great update.  I especially liked the detailed description of
Gwen's fantasy about Clay!

UPDATE

Giff went to Trisha's to give her...her painting.  Stacy answered the door.
Stacy is baby-sitting while Trisha is visiting her nanna.  Stacy read him
the riot act about interfering w/ her and Trucker's marraige..Giff tried to
explain but he left in a huff.

---

Ally is studing w/ Casey and she has her mind on Cooper...Casey is tring to
get her mind on the work...then Cooper comes in, in a trench coat just like
Bogart in "Casablanca" and wisks her away from Casey to put together the
dance.

Cooper tells Ally that he is not seeing Hanna and that they should go to the
dance together (just as friends and co-chairs of the dance) she agrees and he
leves and Ally is very excieted..she thinks she has him.

---

Ava is at work (has she even left this store yet?  I have not seen this woman
anywhere but in Bernells)  

Anyway..

She is helping Kate try on dress and Ava tells Moma that since she has been
in the store the sales have risen.  Kate is prod.  Ava into's Momma to Mr.
Bernel..the wave and smile into the camera...(it was cute)

Ava is also sticking her nose into getting Ally/Casey fixed up.  She has
Casey come down to the store and he meets Kate and then Ava gives him a job
as a stock boy...after he leaves Ava decides to hire Ally as a sales clerk
so the two can be together...Ava is playing match maker.

--

Gwen is upset becasue of a french guy at AE..the french guy will not work
w/ a woman.  She is belly acking to Clay and they both of off to watch Clay
give the french guy a piece of his mind (we dont see it happen)  they come
back and Gwen is very happy how Clay stood up for her.

Gwen is hoping that they will go to dinner together.  Gwen makes reservastion
in Clays name...but Clay declines...he wants to go to DL.

So Gwen looking very sad...ordes up Chiness and goes back to work.

    	Wow...sounds like some of the upcoming news is good...
    
    	I haven't been in here for so long...sorry I haven't been 
    	contributing, but it's been so busy here...I'll put a few
    	highlights from Friday...
    
    	Trucker went to see Trisha and he gave her 2 presents, one for
    	the baby and one for her...Trisha opened the babys first and it
    	was a story book...her's was a baby book...they were talking
    	and being civil to each other until Trucker saw the painting
    	of Trisha.  She told him that Giff dropped it off...they started
    	arguing and then there was a knock at the door...it was Giff...
    	Trucker was upset and he made a few remarks, then left.  He
    	later showed up at Stacy's to talk about what had just happened.
    	She talked him into going back and fighting for his wife and son.
    	When Stacy and Trucker arrived, someone that worked in the hotel
    	told them that Trisha left with the baby and the professor.
    	Trucker said to Stacy that she has left again with the baby.
    
    	Clay and DL did the dirty deed...she had a nice romantic dinner
    	planned and she was in a sexy negligee on.  I skipped most of
    	what they were talking about...
    
    	Gwen was in her office talking to Isabelle and they discussed
    	Clay and DL...Gwen told Isabelle that Clay won't be with DL
    	for much longer...(skipped most of this too!)
    
    	Well...that's about all I can remember...I think that the
    	whole show focused on Clay and DL, Trisha and Trucker and
    	Isabelle and Gwen...nobody else was on!!
    
    	Alexis

    
    Is Isabelle gonna die?  or will she pull through? anyone know?
    
    Lou

I actually got to watch a Monday show!  I will try to do a quick update.


One thing that happened on Friday's show that wasn't mentioned is that 
after Trucker left Trisha in a huff to go see Stacey, Giff was left 
there with Trisha.  Trisha looked out the window and said, "it stopped 
raining!  Let's go for a ride, I need to get out of here."  So, off 
Giff, Trisha, and the baby went for a ride in a thunderstorm.  When 
the storm picked up again, Giff pulled over to the side of the road 
'til it would let up a little.  When he felt it was safe enough to 
start driving again, the car wouldn't start!  Friday ended with them 
sitting in the car in the pouring rain.

On Monday, it opened with them at someone's house.  Guess they walked 
to the closest house they could find.  It was a nice couple who were 
eager to help and loved the baby.  They had nine children of their 
own, 8 boys and one girl.  So, of course there was a cradle in the 
house for Christopher to sleep in!  They gave T&G dry clothes to wear 
and told them they were welcome to stay there.  Trisha asked to call 
her husband so he wouldn't worry.  Of course, when she went to use the 
phone, it was dead.  Then wouldn't you know it, the electricity went 
out.  Trisha was panicing about her family worrying about her. So,
Giff asked if there was a car he could use to go to the nearest 
phone and of course, the truck had two flats and the car was in the 
shop, what luck.  So, they were stuck there for the night.

The couple brought out blankets for them to sleep with.  Why they 
didn't have extra bedrooms when they had nine kids is beyond me!  
Anyway, they talked for a while and Trisha went to put another log on 
the fire and got a splinter.  Giff took it out for her and held her 
hand longer than he should have.  Trisha looked a little uncomfortable.
Then later, Trisha was brushing her hair and complained about being so
tired.  Giff of course, offered to brush her hair for her.  Then
afterwards, she laid down on the daybed to go to sleep (Giff would 
sleep on the couch).  She must've fallen asleep as soon as her head
hit the pillow cuz then the man came in and told Giff that he looked
at his car and it seemed to be OK.  He asked Giff if he wanted him to go
out with him to try to start it. Giff said, no, better let them sleep,
we'll try in the morning.  He asked the man not to say anything to
Trisha.  When the man walked away, Giff looked at Trisha sleeping and
said, "sleep well Trisha."  I can't believe Trisha had laid her head
down for only two minutes and didn't hear them talking!  Wish I could
go to sleep that fast! 

In the meantime, Stacy and Trucker were at Trisha's place trying to 
figure out what happened.  The hotel guy let them in.  Trucker checked 
and found that her clothes were still there but he wanted to know why 
Trisha would go out in a storm with Giff and the baby!  He was not a 
happy camper!!

Some DL and Clay scenes I FFed throught....boring!  Apparently DL 
asked Clay to marry her and he said he should propose to her so he got 
on his knee.  I'm assuming she said yes.

Isabelle was asleep on the couch and dreamt of meeting Tim in the 
secret room.  I think it was the first time they were in the room and 
Tim said he made it just for them.  He asked her how her Tea went with 
Cabot and she said just awful.  She wished their parents hadn't pushed 
them together.  He said he was glad they did or else they never 
would've met.  They started kissing and he started to undress her when 
she started to stop him and he asked her if she wanted him to stop......
she woke up to find the now aged Tim Sullivan standing there.  She 
asked what he was doing there and he said he heard she was sick.  She 
said she's fine now.  He held his hand to her (turning into the young 
Tim) then she held her hand to him (turning into the young Isabelle) 
he said he was there for her her and she said something like she was 
glad and they hugged (turning back into the aged Tim and Isabelle.... 
this was kinda neat and a little confusing).  Isabelle came back to 
reality and pulled herself away from him and told him never to do that 
again.  They talked a little about the problems she's having with the 
family and Tim noticed a picture of Clay and asked her if that was her 
son.  She said yes.  He said he has your spunk!  She said, yes too 
much spunk, and then asked Tim to leave.

Isabelle sat on the couch and Cabot appeared on the chair next to her. 
She was excited to see that he was back and asked where he'd been.  He 
said he was always here and soon they would always be together.  She 
asked if that meant she was going to die and he said she had to take 
care of things first.  She asked what he meant and he said "Tim 
Sullivan, are you ready to face your mistake?"  Then he faded away.

Sorry I went on so long!  Sometimes I get carried away! Hope I didn't 
forget anything.  I'm looking forward to an update for today's show!  
They have to show Cooper and Hannah sooner or later.

Linda

    
    Great update Linda! Thanks!!
    
    

    Linda -->>  Great update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    Loving was not on at all in Chicago here because of the Bulls
    rally.  I have been watching but usually while I am working,
    so I don't catch everything.
    
    The show IMHO really needs some new storylines, which sounds
    like could be happening by Upcoming News.  Hopefully someone
    can update us on today's since it wasn't on here. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    I just started watching again after a few months - and just from the
    past couple of weeks - I would venture to guess that Clay is really
    Tim's son......not Cabot's.  This could be Isabell's "mistake".
    
    Did anyone else notice the tears in Clay's eyes when he was proposing
    (and being proposed to) the other day?  It almost looked real!
    

	Here's an update for yesterday...
	
	Ava was in Brunells talking to Ally, telling her that she needs
	a job for the summer because she can't keep borrowing money
	from Kate...it took Ava a while, but she finally talked her
	into it...Ava sent her to Personnel to fill out an application.
	Right when Ally got on the elevator and the doors closed, Casey
	came around the corner with a rack of clothes.  Ava told him
	what a good job he was doing and she realizes that he's real
	busy so she decided to hire someone to help him.  Ally came
	back down from Personnel and realized that Casey worked there
	too...she said she was going to withdraw her application.
	Casey told her that it was probably better if she did since
	it would take her 2 hours to ring up a sale.  She said that
	she changed her mind and she was staying right here and she
	was going to prove 2 things to him...1 that she could work
	a cash register and 2 that she can put up with his wise
	remarks.

	Clay and DL told Gwen, Isabelle, Stacy and Jack about their 	
	plans for marriage.  Isabelle didn't take the news too well,
	and said she needed air...Gwen took her outside and Dl told
	Clay to go check on her and she would wait in the house.
	Jack had a few words with her...he was actually pretty mean,
	telling her that ever since she came to this town she's been
	after an Alden and now she finally got one...but she would
	never be part of the Alden family.  Stacy was trying to tell
	Jack to cool it the whole time.  Dl left the room and Stacy
	asked Jack it he feels better now after saying that...she 
	admitted she doesn't like her, but she wasn't going to say
	anything to her...Jack then started saying how this could
	drive a wedge in between Clay and Gwen because Gwen was green
	when Clay told them about the marriage...he said he would be
	there to cause more trouble.  Stacy was trying to get him to
	give it up...and he refused saying it was his turn.

	Trisha and Trucker had a big fight about Christopher, Trucker
	told Trisha that Christopher was going to live with him and
	Trisha could come see him whenever she wanted.  He said that
	he was calling the shots from now on...Trisha was very upset,
	almost crying saying that he couldn't take him away from his
	mother and that she was nursing him, and how it Trucker going
	to feed him and care for him during the day...He was thinking
	about it and said that he could stay with her for the nite
	but this isn't over yet.

	Hannah bumped into Cooper in the hall and they started talking.
	Hannah told Cooper that she misses him and Cooper told her that
	this whole thing with his problems was a lie to get her into bed.
	He said that he figured if he could get her sympathy and get 
	her to the cabin that he could seduce her...she didn't believe
	him, but he said that's it true...he told her that all he's out
	to do is have a good time and it's all a game...she wasn't ready
	to play...Hannah ran off very hurt...

	Back at the Alden Mansion...Clay was trying to talk to his mother
	and the whole time Tim was hiding in the bushes listening...Isabelle
	told him that from the start she has been trying to make up for
	the way Cabot treated him and to give him his birth right by 
	making him the CEO...he said he appreciates everything she has
	done, but he will not let the family down, and his relationship
	with DL will not interfere.  He took her upstairs and Gwen was 
	outside alone...DL came out because she thought Clay was out there
	and Gwen and DL had a few words...DL told Gwen that she better get
	used to them being together because in August she will have a ring
	on her finger and her name will be Alden...Clay came out and asked
	what was wrong...Gwen said that DL was concerned about Isabelle...
	DL asked Clay if they could leave now...

	That's about all I can remember from yesterday...

	Alexis

    Newsflash:
    
    
    
    Jo Ann called.  She was watching Loving today and...
    
    Clay is Tim and Isabelle's son.  She tried to deny it when Tim confronted 
    her but he told her he figured it out and has a right to meet Clay.  
    Isabelle was really upset and flashing back to things that happened in 
    the past.  She clutched her left arm and collapsed on the terrace.  Kate 
    was sitting nearby when Isabelle collapsed and she called Soames to get 
    an ambulance and the show ended for the day.  
    
    Jo said they had her heart beating audibly during the scenes and you 
    could hear it speed up as she became more upset.
    
    Jo Ann is gloating 'cause she predicted this back in January when
    Isabelle first went to get Clay to come back to Corinth.
    
    Jan

    
    THANKS for the newsflash!  I love it when I right about a storyline.

UPDATE

Great line from yesterdays show.  DL was at Bernells trying on wedding dresses
and she bumps into Gwen.  They are exchanging words.

DL:  I have already won, I am marrying Clay....and.. your gaining weight!

It was so funny...the look in Gwens face was priceless.

Ava is w/ Clay at the cash register and his gold card having a ball spending
his $$$ again..she made some cute off the cuff remarks :-)

Hanna was there also picking out the china and silverware pattern.  Then
Clay is near the dressing room and DL comes out all done up in her bride
dress.  Clay is speechless and then DL realized he can't see her before the
wedding day and she runs into the dressing room. 

Clay tells her is is not supersticous and Ava pipes up w/...WITH ALL YOUR
MARRIAGES YOU NEED ALL THE LUCK YOU CAN GET.  :-)

Clay goes into the dressing room and DL and him are kissing and Ava comes over
and tells them they should to check out the mattress department.  

---

Isabelle is at home out on the terrace and Tim comes by and Tim is being
very stern w/ her and lets her know that he knows CLAY ALDEN IS HIS SON.
Isabelle looks stunned and tries to deny it.  They are talking loudly and
Kate hears them and she comes out and she gets Tim to leave.  Kate ask who it
was and Belle is not saying a word...we here Belle's heart beat and it is 
getting louder and louder as she is thinking of Tim and Clay and DL..then
we see Belle fall and we no longer here her heart beating (but she is not
dead yet)  Kate is there and she runs to Belle's side.

--

At AE Gwen is being all nice to Clay and she said she will even try to make
Belle see the light that Clay loves DL...Clay can't believe how nice she is
being and is taken in by it.

--

Jack was around AE causing trouble..I didn't pay attention because he is wining
like a big baby.

--

trucker went to see Shanna about getting custody of Christoffer.  Shanna tries
to make him see that it will drive Trisha away and not to do it, but Trucker
wants to do it.

    I don't watch Loving at all, but do read this note now and again.  It
    has been ages since I;ve seen any mention of Ava, has she been written
    out of the show?

    ava is still on the show.  she is working at burnell's.  paul left her
    to be with her sister carly.  she is on the back-burner kinda but her
    storyline at burnell's looks like she is going to get together with the
    owner.  she hasn't seen him yet but he watches her with the store
    cameras.  she is also trying to set up casey, giffs son, with ally.
    
    
    
    
    ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE GIFF AND TRICIA ARE TOGETHER... boring
    storyline because its obvious she really still loves trucker deep down
    inside.  do something different with her character.  i am really sick
    of her going back and forth with her husbands.
    
    so gwyn and clay have gotten married.  dl is going to the comments
    thrown back at her now from gwyn.  should be interesting however, you
    know its only a matter of time before clay and dl get back together. 
    i wonder who she will hook up to get clay jealous???? any ideas?
    the final breakdown of that marriage is going to be when clay finds out
    he is not an alden and gives up everything because of it.  too bad jack
    won't be around to see that one.  
    
    any updates??? thanks for upcoming news and recent updates!
    
    
    cj

    
    FYI, I will not be back in the office till Monday.  Happing noting.

    	I don't know about the rest of you, but I am sick of this
    	Trisha storyline!  She's driving me nuts!!!  She acts so
    	innocent and like Trucker is the bad guy...I feel bad for
    	Trucker, not for her...I hope he does get the baby away from
    	her...it would serve her right for taking off like she did!
    	
    	The DL and Clay storyline took a turn we all didn't expect!
    	I wonder what will become of this...
    
    	Alexis

    Didn't gwen and Clay get married in the hospital today?
    
    

    Dennis -->>  Comments behind a spoiler......
    
    Gwen and Clay sure did get married today.
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    Alexis -->>  I totally agree that Trisha is making me totally
    sick and her storyline is getting to be soooooooooo boring.  I
    wish Trucker would take the baby and run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I am soooooooo tired of her saying you are not taking Christopher
    he's mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I think she forgets that he is equally
    as much Truckers.
    
    Now for a partial update for today & yesterday's combined......
    
    Gwen and Clay are at the hospital and Isabele is not doing so
    well and is practically out of it totally.  She does want Gwen
    and Clay to be married.
    
    While Gwen is talking to her and Isable is just lying there
    and not saying anything she tells Clay that Isabele wants 
    them to be married.  Clay feels impelled to marry her and
    they go to do just that.
    
    Clay and Gwen are getting married and Clay has a hard time
    going through with the marriage vows, but does so and he and
    Gwen get married.
    
    Dinah Lee meanwhile goes to the hospital and runs into Trisha
    who is not happy to see her a bit.  Trisha wants to know what
    she is doing there and she says she is there as Clay's fiance'.
    Trisha is upset.
    
    Clay goes back to the hospital where he runs into Dinah Lee
    and she says how happy she is to see him.  He tells her what
    happened and Dinah Lee is very upset with him.  She tells
    him she went away one day and this is what happens!!!!!!!!
    She says she can't believe he would do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    He tries to explain when she says that's it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    She is on her way out when she sees Trisha and tells her she
    got exactly what she wants her mother is married to Clay again!!!!!
    Gwen is now listening when Clay wants to run after her and
    Gwen tells him not to go after her.  That is the end.
    
    Not to much else happening.  I do believe that Hannah goes to
    the hospital to see Cooper about his grandmother and tries
    talking to him.
    
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    
    
    	Ok...where is everyone?
    
    	I finally got to watch last nite, so I'll do a quick update...
    
    	Ally, Kate and Ava are in Ally's bedroom helping her find something
    	to wear to the formal...(yes Ava was finally home and not at
    	Burnells)  Ally didn't like anything she tried on and she was
    	getting pretty cranky...Kate said that she might have something
    	else in her room and leaves to go get it...while she was gone Ava
    	had a talk with Ally about Cooper saying that she should try and
    	meet new people...Ally was her usual self saying that after tonite
    	Cooper will realize that he wants to be with her...Kate came back
    	with a dress and Ally loved it...she said it was perfect...
    
    	Giff and Casey are at Giffs apartment talking about Trisha and
    	Ally...Giff admitted his feelings for Trisha, but said there
    	was nothing he could do about them because she was married and
    	Trucker and him were still friends.  Casey was telling Giff that
    	he wanted to date Ally as much as a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
    	(that comment was pretty funny!)  I missed most of their convo
    	since it seemed pretty boring...but that was basically what it
    	was about...
    
    	Trisha gets a visit from Gwen and Clay...they wanted to explain
    	why they remarried and Trisha was very hurt and didn't want to
    	hear it...they voiced their side of it, saying they did it for
    	Isabelle and once she recovers it will be over...Trisha was saying
    	that for them it's a game and everyone will get hurt...she also
    	said that they didn't know what it was like growing up with them
    	as parents...Clay said that he still plans on marrying DL and
    	he still loves her...
    
    	Trucker is at the shop and Shana comes to see him...(I missed some
    	of this too)  He told Shana that him and Trisha had a talk in the
    	cafe at the hospital and they were actually civil to each other...
    	He said they didn't talk about their own problems, they talked 
    	about Trisha's problem with Gwen, Clay and Isabelle.  Trucker
    	I think told her that he wants to get back together with Trisha.
    	Just then someone had papers delivered and they were legal 
    	separation papers from Trisha.  Trucker wasn't too happy...
    
    	Ally and Cooper left to go to the dance together, they both
    	bought each other flowers to wear.  That's about all I can
    	remember...
    
    	Alexis

    well alexis, you beat me to it.  i was home sick and watched the show
    too.  great update!
    
    the conversation with trisha and her parents has still got me raging. 
    who is she to tell them when you marry someone you are supposed to love
    them and have it be forever?  are you forgetting what you are doing to
    trucker?  are you forgetting that you married jeff for somewhat the
    same reasons and never loved him?  give me a break!!!!!!!  i am so
    sick of her whining i am tempted to write a letter to them explaining
    that having trisha as a whining brat is stupid.  she is supposed to be
    a mature mother now and if they set her up with giff it will never
    work. 
    
    i also think its stupid that giff is in love with her.  another person
    who slept with her mother that she will be involved with.  geez...
    
    i think that the cassie and alley storyline will be good.  they seem to
    be fun together and interact well.  
    
    well, i guess what is it.  thanks again!

    	I forgot to mention that in the TV guide this week there's a little
    	article about the Trisha...they were talking about how the exec's
    	weren't happy about Trisha being pregnant again since she wasn't
    	suppose to have children on the show, but they decided to write
    	it in anyways...Also the person who play Trisha, Noelle Beck,
    	says that she doesn't think that the writers will keep Trisha
    	and Trucker apart for long...maybe for a year!  (that's way
    	too long in my opinion!!!)  I can't take anymore of her whining
    	either!
    
    	cj...I agree totally with everything you said!!  She's driving
    	me nuts...and as a matter of fact, when she was reading Gwen
    	and Clay the riot act about their vows, my sister said, well
    	what about her marriage?  Who is she to tell them!!  I forgot
    	about that part!!!

    Ally is at the dance and is upset when she sees Hannah come in
    and says she thought she was going to have a great time with
    Cooper alone.  
    
    Ally and Staige get some man to get Hannah away from Cooper
    and out of the dance.  Noe before Hannah goes to talk to Cooper
    and tells him that she feels something for him and doesn't know
    why it had to happen like this.
    
    Cooper hardly gets to say anything when Hannah has to leave.
    Ally and Staige are happy.  Hannah goes to Ally and tells her
    that she has to tell Cooper of what is going to happen to him.
    She must have found out someone was going to do something to
    him.

    I'll add a little to Friday's update...
    
    When Hannah was asked to leave by the guy in charge of the catering,
    she was so upset, when she got outside she dropped her purse and 
    a few things fell out.  She was picking them up and she heard Staige
    and Kent talking, so Hannah hid behind a bush.  She listened to them
    talking about bringing Cooper down and after tonite he will be in
    jail in a felony charge.  
    
    After she heard them talking, she tried to get back in to tell Cooper
    but that was when Alley had someone escort her to the door and keep
    her out.  Hannah then when to Burnell's to get Casey to help her.
    She finally convinced him to help her, but he said he was only doing
    it for her, not for Ally and Cooper.  Hannah asked Casey if he had
    any money, and he said he had 10 dollars and a credit card.  She
    grabbed the credit card and they bought some clothes to disguise
    themselves.
    
    They went to Off Limits and Casey kept the guy at the door busy while
    Hannah snuck in.  The show ended with Hannah standing there while
    Cooper and Ally were dancing the first dance together, they both turned
    and saw Hannah.
    
    Alexis

UPDATE

Ally is dancing w/ Cooper and she is in heaven.  Just then Hanna comes in
and Ally is seeing red!  She runs over to Hanna and tries to get her to
leave and tells a waiter/bouncer to get her out..then Cooper comes over and
tells the waiter/bouncer it's okay and he takes Hanna aside.  Hanna is telling
Cooper what Kent and Staige did to him to set him up.

Ally is about to run after Cooper when Casey grabs her and they dance..Ally
is hesitant at first but Casey gets her calmed down and tells her about the
set up.

The police enter and they ask where Cooper Alden is.  Kent wants to know why.
They tell him there was a tip about Cooper doing a drug deal.  Kent is acting
like he is protecting Cooper.  Cooper volunteers a search...as he bumps into
Kent he passed the cokecane to Kents pocket.  The cops find nothing on
Cooper and Cooper tells them to search everyone...Kent figures it out and he
realized he now holds he cokecane...Kent is upset and tells the cops that it
was a joke...and the cops tell off Kent and Kent looks like a fool infount
of everyone...Staige is upset w/ Kent and earlier she tried to get him to
stop what he was doing...then Staige see's Kent out outside and he just did
something to Coopers car and Staige is mad...Kent is out for revenge

The dance resumes and Hanna and Cooper are dancing and Casey grabs Ally again
before she can make a fool of her self...Hanna and Cooper are kissing and Ally
is upset...Copper starts to think of Selina and he gets upset and runs out.

Ally runs to Hanna and yells at her for upsetting Cooper and then she runs
after him..Staige tries to stop her and tell her the car has no breaks but
Ally is mad a Staige and tells her off..and takes off after Cooper...she
hopes in his car and he is fighting w/ her to get out..but we all know our
Ally..she wont get out!  Cooper drives off as Staige gets there to late.

Ally wants to know what is wrong w/ Cooper and Cooper wants Ally to get out and
to shut up...they are going fast and they loose the breaks and they get into
a car accident

Clay is at the hospital and he tells Gwen he is filing for divorce since 
Belle is doing better, and he needs to get back to his life w/ DL and Trisha
Gwen tells him that Belle is not out of the woods yet and if they split now
Trisha will think they are really playing games...

They go to see Belle and she is happy till Clay starts to tell her they
are splitting up..a nurse comes in and ask what going on, the monitor just
went up...G&C Seattle down and they get off the Subj...Belle wants Clay
to move in the mansion and he will think about it and talk to her later 
about it..

They leave the room and Gwen tries to tell Clay that it will be a good idea
if he did so and it will make Belle happy.

Tim goes to see Belle and they have a nice talk.  They talk about old times
and she tells Tim that she was preggers when she married Cabot.  Tim ask
why wasn't he fired right away (Cabot knew of the affair) Tim was fired
months after it had ended...that was the day Cabot found out that Belle was
preggers w/ Tim child...Cabot stormed into the secret room and punched Tim
and told him to get out (not such a secret room huh)

That is all I can remember

Lou

    
    where is eveyone?  

    I'm here Lou!  And I definitely appreciate your updates.  I check in
    once in a while and read them, but I'm really busy. Plus I don't have
    time to watch my tapes so I wouldn't be much help in here.
    
    I did catch last Friday's show.  I have to say that Staige looked
    ridiculous in that outfit.  I'm sure it was supposed to be oh, so
    40ish.  But to tell you the truth, I was cleaning while I had the show
    ond and out of the corner of my eye, I at first thought it was Ava
    working at that bar again wearing a silly outfit!  Then I figured out
    that it was the Casablanca theme.  I still don't think kids in College
    would get dressed up like that.
    
    I hate this Clay being forced to marry Gwen storyline!  Didn't Cabot
    try to do the same thing and it didn't work.  It is really stupid.  I
    wish Clay would just find out he's not and Alden, realize he has no
    family right to the company, take DL, and move to Chicago!
    
    And boy, have they ruined Trisha's character.  I can't stand her double
    standards.  Trucker should definitely wash his hands of her.  She is
    being absolutely ridiculous.  And if her and Giff get together, well, I
    don't know what....but that would be stupid. 
    
    Oh, and how come Casey just came to town and he's Mr. popular all of a
    sudden?  I saw how he met Ally and know about Ava getting them both a
    job and trying to fix them up.  But how does he know Hannah??  How come
    he's everyone's best friend all of a sudden?  Boy, teenagers in Corinth
    sure do get popular fast!
    
    OK, enough spouting.  Keep up the updates!!  And have a great Holiday
    weekend everyone!
    
    Linda

    
    Linda,  To answer your question about Casey.  Hanna went to Giff's
    studio to tell Giff that Gwen has married Clay..and that DL might need
    a sholder to cry on and she ran into Casey and they got to talking and
    they had alot in common...Ally, Cooper and stuff like that.
    
    I thought Allys hair looked great and so did Hanna's!  it was all blown
    out and almost straigh w/alot of body and it was styled like it used to
    be in the 40's...it was kina tucked under...you had to see it. 
    
    I like Allys dress and Staige's but I hated Staige's hat!  Good thing
    it was not a low celing at off limits.  :-)
    
    Casey as dressed in a trench coat and hat, his hair was pulled back in
    a P-tail..it look good cept' for the P-tail.
    
    Lou

    
    
    Does anyone have an update for yesterday?  My VCR changed the date to
    93 instead of 92, so it didn't tape!  I was so mad when I got home!
    
    Thanks
    
    Alexis

UPDATE

Staige has it out w/ Kent..she threatens to call the police she is very
upset w/ him for what he has done.

Cooper and Ally are in the car and they get into a accident.  Cooper wakes up
and see's that Ally is hurt.  

Staige treis to tell Hanna and Casey what Kent did to the breaks and they dont
want to listen to her...she finaly gets the message accross and they bolt
out after C&A.

**we don't see H&C get to the scean** we see them all at the hospital and
we here H&C tell the nurse they had to move Ally becasue there was no
phone and she was hurt..Coope is worrie about Ally and the nurse gets them
out of the room so they can work on Ally

Gwen and Clay argue about moving into the manshion...Gwen has a dream about
her and Clay being happy...(boring IMHO)

Lou

    Thanks Lou!
    
    I wish I could have watched it!!  I better be able to see it today
    or my VCR will be thrown out the window!!
    
    Alexis

    To the person who said kids in college wouldn't dress up like that...
    
    When I was in college I was in a sorority.  We had alot of theme
    parties.  I specifically remember a western/dance hall theme and a 
    come as your favorite tv/movie character theme.  Of course, our 
    budget not even anywhere near the budget these folks have for their
    themes and most of our costumes where thrown together from various
    places, thrift shops, etc.
    
    Jan
    
    (granted, college was a number of years ago but as far as I know 
     my sorority, at least, is still throwing theme parties)

    
    I forgot to mention that Belle made Tim promis to keep there secret
    about Clay.  He agreed
    
    

UPDATE

Staige comes to see how Ally is doing.  Casey and Hanna are telling her leave 
and she caused this...Staige tells them the whole story about Kent and how
she wanted him to stop...Cooper is overhearing everything...even the part
about Kent fixing the breaks on his car.  Cooper leaves when he hears this
but they don't seem him go or know he over heard.

The nurse tells C&S&H that Ally is okay.  She has a concussion and will not
remember the acident...they want to see her...the nurse says no, but after
some persistance she agrees for 1 person to see her..they all nominate Casey.

Casey goes in and Ally thinks he is Cooper....She is talkig about the dance
and why did they leave the dance..whey did it stop...and she loves him.
Casey didn't know what to say, he looked sad and he just went alog w/it.

Cooper went to Off Limits to see Kent..Kent was there trying to a big man
there were a few brothers left at the party..but the parthy was ended.  Just
then Cooper comes in and Cooper confronts Kent about the breaks and the Coke.
They get into a good brawl....until Kent smashes a bottle and is holding the
jagged end to Cooper throught.

C&H&S had figued out that Cooper went to see Kent and they all showed up at
Off Limits and the distracted Kent for a second while Cooper was able to 
knock the bottle out of Kents hand....Cooper then was holding the bottle to
Ketns throut and he wanted to kill him...Hanna is screaming [NO] and Cooper
stops and tosses the bottle away...Kent is raging on him, telling him he is
chicken...and Cooper hauls off and gives him a few good punches and knocks
him to the floor...

Kent in laying on the floor when the police arrive and Staige says she will
testify againts him and to arrest him for the coke and the breaks...they
haul kent away....

Trisah went to see Belle and Belle *kinda* talked Trisha into going ahead w/
the seperation.

Trucker was w/ Jack, who was trying to talk him into trying agin..  Trucker
had some flash back's of him and Trsiha...(boy was T's hair lighted then, I

Re-Marry....they allready RE-married!  come one writhers get w/ it, they
are boring!  and another re-marriage is boring.

Lou

    
    I guess we had a upcomming news collision!  Sorry
    
    L

I'm not so sure...

For some reason, I thought that Jack & Stacy made it to the JP, but never 
actually reamarried.  Unfortunately, I forgot why...

    I thought tht they got re-married, didn't they end up riding to the
    wedding in a car with chickens and stuff, then when they got to the
    chapel, their familes were there and they went to shower and change,
    got to fooling around and kept the family waiting, but then did go
    ahead with the service.....
    
    /red

    
    Correct Red..they DID get married it was a very small weding..maby they
    want to make if offical by a huge church weding..or to re-new there
    vows...but what ever it was..it's stupid
    
    L

    boy, this note has been super slow lately.
    
    isn't jack supposed to leave this show soon?  i wonder what is up
    there.  they will probably kill him off and make stacy look like the
    lost widower.  maybe not...
    
    someone mentioned a while back that trisha's hair has gotten darker and
    has no style.  i got my episodes book last week and they had flashbacks
    of loving history.  when she reunited with trucker in italy her hair
    was super blonde and layered.  it did look good but i also like it this
    way.  if they brushed out the curls it would give her body.  somehow
    they keep trying to make her character look like a little princess. 
    too late for that!  did anyone remember trisha in fletch II with chevy
    chase?  she played someone he worked with in the office that he hit on
    for about two minutes.  anyways...
    
    i saw fridays show.  was there an update?  trucker has been working out
    again, did you notice his shoulders and arms?  things that make you go
    hmmm alexis?  that is one of them for sure!  he also has improved his
    acting IMHO.  when he saw giff and trisha kissing his look was
    priceless.
    
    my magazine also says that giff was in grease.  what part did he play?
    
    well, enough of my chatting.  anyone see monday's show?  :)
    
    cj

    Here is a update for Monday's 7/6..............
    
    clay reads the paper that says that he and Gwen were married
    and are happily married and had a very romantic wedding.  He
    is furious and is at the hospital asking Gwen if she did this
    and how could she.
    
    Gwen says she didn't do it his mother did.  He goes to see his
    mother and she admits to doing it.  Clay says how could you do
    it.  She says that she wanted everyone to know.  Clay can't
    believe it and Gwen takes him out of her room.
    
    She tells him that he has to remember why they got married for
    his mothers sake.  Clay says he can't imagine what this is
    doing to Dinah Lee and he wants out of this marriage.
    
    He says that he didn't marry Gwen to get this publicity and
    he didn't want everyone to know.  Gwen says that the family
    knows and AE, so who cares about the strangers that know.
    Clay tells her that he is going to see his fiance'!!!!!!
    
    Gwen tells him not to go, but he does.
    
    Dinah Lee is at Pins and is looking upset as she has read
    the newspaper.  Louie comes over and wants to know how she is
    doing and she says fine.  He says he knows that couldn't be
    easy after reading that article.
    
    She says she is upset and can't believe that Clay married 
    Gwen.  She says she still looks at her engagement ring after
    only having it on for 2 days.  Louie tells her that Clay still
    loves her and only did it for his mother.
    
    Louie says when Kate was sick he would have done anything she
    wanted to make her better, so she should give him another chance.
    Dinah lee says if he loved me half as much as I love him he would
    not have been able to married Gwen.
    
    Clay is now standing there and comes over and says he wants to
    talk to Dinah Lee.  She says she was just going to call him and
    he says did you get my messages, she says yes all 26 of them.
    She says we have to talk first of all about Pins I want to
    resolve our partnership.
    
    He says noway I built this with you and I am not going to end
    it.  She says it is bad enough that you are married to Gwen and
    I am not going to have to look at you everyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    He tells her he loves her and only her and she says it is over
    Clay now just leave!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Clay won't leave as he picks her up and says they are going to
    talk he is not going anywhere.  She is screaming at him to put
    her down as he carries her out of Pins.  That is the end.
    
    Trucker is furious at Giff and Tricia and tells Giff that he
    can't believe he did this while all along he was playing his
    marriage couselor he is trying to seduce his wife!!!!!!!!!
    He keeps insisting that Tricia has been cheating on him all
    along.
    
    Tricia tells him it's not what he thinks and she hasn't!!!!!!!!
    Trucker says you have been laughing at me all the time I have
    been telling you that I love you and I want to get back with
    you and you have been doing this to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Giff is telling him it isn't what he thinks as he tells him
    to shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!  Tricia says that this was the first
    kiss they ever had and it wasn't what he saw!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Trucker says you expect me to believe this after Giff being
    there for you when you had the baby then after and then you
    run off and giff is with you and you are stranded!!!!!!!!!
    
    Trucker then says how inconvenient for the two of you having
    me right next door did I ruin it for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Tricia keeps telling him that she wouldn't do anything to
    hurt him and she hasn't done anything.  Trucker says you
    expect me to believe you after you didn't believe anything
    happened between Dinah Lee and I when you were in Washington.
    
    Tricia says that's different you slept with her.  Giff tells
    Trucker that it is his fault and not to blame Tricia!!!!!!!!!
    Trucker tells him to stay out of it!!!!!!!!!  Giff tells him
    to stop blaming there problems on someone else it isn't his
    fault!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Trucker wants him to stay out of it, but asks him if he is
    in love with his wife.  Giff can't answer as he screams at
    him to answer the question!!!!!!!!!!!!  Tricia tells him 
    to stop as Trucker tells him to leave.  Tricia tells Giff it
    is okay to go.
    
    Giff tells Tricia he will be there if she needs him and to
    call.  Trucker wants to go for his throat when Tricia screams
    to stop it and Giff can go.  Giff tells him if he lays one
    hand on her he's in for it.
    
    Tricia tells Trucker that they didn't do anything and he has
    to believe her.  He says he can't and he know sees why she
    didn't want to try when all the time he did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    She says her and Giff have been nothing.  Trucker says you
    didn't want to get back with me because you are in love with
    Giff!!!!!!!!!
    
    Tricia tells him that's not true, but he is going to believe
    what he wants to believe.  Trucker tells her that they might
    as well forget the legal seperation and go for the divorce.
    He says that Giff is not going to raise his son.  Tricia says
    he isn't she knows that.  Trucker says you better believe it
    because I am going for sole custody he leaves.  That is the
    end.
    
    Ally is having blurred and loss of vision and is very scared
    while she clings onto Cooper.  He doesn't seem to comfortable
    with it, but goes along with staying with her.
    
    The nurse says they are going to run more tests to see what is
    going this and she is frightened.  Ally wants Cooper to sit with
    her and he does.  She falls asleep and when she wakes up he is
    about to leave and she tells him not to go again.
    
    She talks about wanting to do things with him when she gets out
    and can't wait to get out, but wants to feel better.  Cooper 
    tells her that he will go to the quary with her and spend the
    day as that is what she talked of wanting to do on a sunny day.
    
    She gets real excited when she says will you really go and do
    that with me, and he says yes it sounds like fun.  He then
    tells her that it was his fault she is there and she should 
    have never met him.
    
    She says it isn't his fault and she is glad that she met him.
    Cooper looks concerned.

    Thanks for the update Tracey.  Did anyone see Friday's show?  I missed
    it.  How did Giff and Trisha end up kissing?  Did they get starry eyed
    and Giff went for it??
    
    I can't stand how Ally is using Cooper's guilt feelings to make him
    show her attention.  She's living in such a dream world thinking the
    accident made everything different.  I wonder if she's faking some of
    these headaches?
    
    Thanks again,
    
    Linda

    Linda-->>  To answer your question of how they ended up kissing
    was Giff was talking to Tricia on what she should do about
    Trucker and how it isn't her fault when he just started to
    look at her and touch her face.
    
    Tricia was alittle confused and asked him what are you doing
    and he said I am going to kiss you and he did and that's when
    Trucker walked in.
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    i saw fridays show.  trisha had finally admitted that she had
    "something" to do with the troubles of her and trucker and there
    was giff, telling her no it was all trucker's fault.  she said that
    some of it was her because of her parents relationship she never
    learned how to love (yes, that is taking the blame isn't it?  what
    a loser!) and giff started to get angry and told her not to think that
    because she is an incredible beautiful, talented and loving person. 
    then he held her cheek and started stroking it.  she acted what he was
    doing and he said "i'm kissing you" and then kissed her.  she was
    kissing him back and it was a tender kiss, not a peck but not a
    passionate one.  that is when trucker walked in.
    
    other things that i can remember from friday was...
    
    cooper and hannah were talking.  she is fed up with him and told him
    that if he doesn't talk to her more about selena then she was out of
    his life.  he admitted that he really cared about hannah and thought
    about her all the time.  she said that she felt the same way but was
    sick of being on a yo yo.  she said he needed someone to talk to and
    maybe professional help.  he said no shrinks.  i don't remember much
    else but the fact that she got somewhere with him it seemed.
    
    ally was visited by casey who brought her a book with reading and
    pictures in it.  he said it was his favorite.  he didn't want to go in
    at first and asked some nurse to give it to her but kate came out and
    talked him in to going in.  she really liked it and when he went to
    leave she asked him to stay..  it didn't take him long to say ok.  she
    asked him to read to her and he started to.  they were getting along
    really well and then cooper came in with a cake and sparklers on it and
    alley jumped out of bed and started to hang onto him saying "how
    wonderful he was".  she totally ignored casey who declined cake when
    offered by cooper.  she then took a sparkly out of the cake and started
    to write her name in the air with it.  that is when she got her blurred
    vision and lost total eye sight. cooper sat her down and the nurse came
    in.  casey was left out in the cold and just left very sad.
    
    i don't think she is faking it right now but bet that she will
    eventually.
    
    that is all i remember, sure seems like a long time ago...

    Thanks you guys......what a quick response. 
    
    I can just picture the scene with Giff and Trisha.  It's a very typical
    soap scene!  Too bad Trucker had to interrupt though.  I'd like to know
    what her reaction would have been if he hadn't shown up.  Would she
    have said, "don't ever do that again!"  OR  "Oh, Giff......I've been
    waiting for you to do that"  OR  "Giff, why did you do that?  We should
    think about this."
    
    Those are all typical soap lines after an unexpected kiss......which
    route would she have taken if not interrupted!?!   I do wish someone
    would slap her though!  Cut this innocent crap!
    
    I bet Ally will eventually fake the headaches too.  They will always
    happen just when Cooper is around and trying to tell her he has no
    feelings for her or something.
    
    Linda	
    

    i vote for the "why did you do that"?  
    
    :)
    
    cj

    I have to say my vote for what Tricia would have said to Giff
    if Trucker hadn't walked in is "you shouldn't have done that"
    
    Somehow down the road Tricia will probably get back with 
    Trucker.  It is getting old though those two should just get
    back together or forget it all together.
    
    Cut the game playing already either you love each other and
    can get back together or you can't!!!!!!!!
    
    
    Tracey
    

    didn't upcoming news say that trisha would beg for a reconciliation and
    trucker would say forget it?  i too am sick of this storyline.  get on
    with it!!!!
    
    cj

    Patricia Barry has been recast as Loving's, Isabelle, effective
    immediately. 
    
    Celeste Holm has been dropped from the cast.
    
    Cheryl

    Does anyone know why the sudden change?
    

    I can't believe they have recasted Isabelle.  It must be for good
    reason to better her character or maybe she wanted out.  I would
    like to know the reason to.  If anyoen knows I hope they post 
    it in here.
    
    The stuff with Tricia and Trucker is getting old I am ready to
    see them part there ways and have someone new and exciting to
    add some spice to them.
    
    
    Tracey
    
    

    The name Patricia Barry sounds familiar to me.  They said in the
    article that she played Larkin Malloy's mother on the Guiding Light
    too, but I don't watch that show.  I wonder if she was on AMC too at
    one time, playing Brooke's mother (the corrupt one, not the bag lady). 
    I remember this woman having red hair, very pretty, but of course, that
    was years ago.  I guess we'll see.
    
    They have not given a reason for Celeste Holm's departure.  But, it
    must not have been her decision since they worded it  that she "has
    been dropped from the cast."  We'll probably find out at a later date.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Wow!  Thanks for the scoop on Isabelle!  That is suprising...mabe she
    was demanding Cabot back from the dead..:_0
    
    Here are some highligts from yesterdays show 7/7
    
    Clay can't live without DL..he takes her to her room and they he is
    tring to convince her he needs her and they start to kiss and they get
    all hot and bothered and DL says "make love to me Clay"
    
    Isabelle and Tim talked about Clay again...and Belle made him promis
    again not to tell..but she will tell him all about  Clay so it will be
    like he knows him..Tim is upset and leaves..
    
    Tim gets a job at AE as a janitor...so he can be near his son
    
    No, Ally or Ava stuff.
    Lou

    
    Oh..Favor
    
    I will be on Vaca from 17th-25th..can someone please send me the
    updates for Loving that week?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Lou

    Sorry, Lou, but my vacation overlaps yours.  I'll be here the
    beginning of that week though.  Where do you want them sent? 
    I would have to get the updates from in here though, cuz I don't
    usually get to watch the show.  Sorry I'm not much help!  Hope you have
    a great vacation!!
    
    It sure is a curious thing as to why Isabelle is being replaced. 
    Didn't the original upcoming news say that she was going to die?  I
    wonder if at first the writers were going to kill her off, but then
    decided not to and got a different actress instead.......sure would
    like to know the scoop!
    
    I saw the first two minutes of yesterdays show.  (I had to go home for
    a delivery.)  All I saw was Hannah bringing Cooper to the psychologists
    office.  Cooper was wicked nervous.  The psychologist seemed very nice. 
    He's a young nice looking black man.  He seemed to do well trying to
    make Cooper more comfortable.  Then the only other thing I saw was Gwen
    going over to Giff's place to give him h*ll about kissing Trisha.  She
    told him to stay away from her daughter.
    
    Anyone see the rest of the show and can fill in?  I'd love to know what
    happened with Copper and the Dr.  
    
    Thanks!!
    
    Linda

    
    
    	Linda...I watched yesterday's show...I'll fill in the blanks!
    
    	Cooper was doing good, talking to the doctor...he was starting to
    	open up.  The doc asked him if he's ever been intimate with a
    	female and Cooper said no...he said that when he gets in those
    	situations, he just can't do anything (meaning sex)...the doctor
    	tried getting him to talk more about it, but Cooper walked over
    	to the window and he started thinking about Selena, the scene
    	when he was a boy asking Selena to never leave him...after that
    	daydream, he said that he had to go.  The doctor tried convincing
    	him to stay and talk about it, but he wouldn't.  Later Hannah
    	came to pick him up and asked how everything went.  He said that
    	he needs to deal with this his way.  Cooper said that he wanted
    	to find Selena.  That's how the show ended...
    
    	Gwen went over to Giffs and really came down hard...they said a
    	few nasty things to each other and Gwen said that if he doesn't
    	stay away from Trisha, she was going to eat him and spit him out...
    	(something like that!)  Gwen was very po'd...
    
    	Ally got a visit from Staige and they talked about Kent and
    	everything that happened...Kent's lawyer cut a deal with the DA
    	and he was already out on probation...he was expelled from school
    	and he went back to Minnesota to live with his parents...(I think
    	it was Minnesota...)  Staige told Ally that her and Kent are
    	through.  Staige asked her how things are going with Cooper and
    	Ally said that things were great, but it's only because of the
    	accident...she said that once she's better, Cooper will be running
    	to Hannah.  Staige suggested that she milk this illness until 
    	Cooper realizes that Hannah is no good for him.  Ally didn't buy
    	the idea.  (this could change in todays show!)
    
    	DL and Clay were acting like a couple of lovesick teenagers...
    	enjoying their morning after...Hannah walked in and questioned
    	why Clay was there...she didn't like the idea that he was married.
    	DL tried to explain that he loves her and that they will be
    	married soon.  DL sent Clay to the shower so she could talk to
    	Hannah.  Hannah was just concerned that DL was going to get hurt
    	again.  DL convinces her that she believes Clay loves her and
    	not Gwen and they will be together.
    
    	I think the only other scene was when Gwen went to see Trisha
    	and Trisha told her about Giff kissing her and how Trucker was
    	suing for sole custody of Christopher...
    
    	Sorry this is a little out of the order of events but it's still
    	a little too early for me!
    
    	Alexis

    
    Alexis..you covered eveything..Thanks!  yes, out Copper big man on
    Campus is a vergin..it's about time we have male vergin!  
    
    Linda, Thanks..you can send them to BONJIV::PIERCE...
    
    Louisa

    Alexis, thanks so much for the update.  I hope Cooper finds Selena and
    we find out what happened.  I still think he should continue seeing the
    psychologist though.  He shouldn't try to handle it on his own.
    
    Lou, as long as there are updates in here, then I will forward them to
    you.  I have a stupid question though......if you can log in to get
    your mail, how come you can't just go in the notesfile directly?  Is it
    cuz it will be faster and plus you can skip all the chit-chat and go
    right for the meat?  That does make sense.  Don't want to waste your
    vacation logging in!
    
    Wonder if Tracey's out there........same day update, maybe?!?!?  I
    know, I'm so pushy!
    
    Linda

    Hi~
    
      I just wanted to take a min. to thank those of you who are kind
    enough to take time out of your schedules to update this (and others!), 
    file.  I'm rarely up-to-date with the viewing of my tapes and many
    times I have to do the dreaded "tape-over-without-viewing" argg...
     
       Thanks again!
    
          :^)
          Sue

    Yes guys I'm out here and no Linda you are not pushy. *^) I
    enjoy doing the sameday updates when I watch enough to be
    able to give a sameday update.
    
    Lou -->>  If you want I will send you the udpates that you
    didn't get from Linda. *^)  I hope there are updates in here
    everyday. 
    
    Between all of us in here I'm sure we can come up with some
    updates. *^)
    
    I can't wait to find out what really happened with Selena. I
    am glad Cooper is going to find her maybe this will help him
    get through whatever happened to him.  I am real anxious to
    find out the story though.
    
    Clay and Dinah Lee are back for now I wonder if they will
    last or will he really fall for Gwen.  She I think really
    does want him and can't stand him with Dinah Lee.  IMHO I
    like Clay with Dinah Lee. *^)
    
    I have to say that I sure hope that Ally doesn't milk her
    illness for to long I can't handle the I'm sick when I'm 
    really not routine, it will be real old!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I'd like to see Hannah and Cooper get together they seem
    like they would be real cute together even though Hannah
    seems young.  Cooper admitted he was a virgin and Hannah
    I'm sure is to that would be neat for them to.  I think
    that will happen with the two of them eventually.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    Linda --> congrats on note #2000!
    
    I will be on my boat in lake Winniepauske (sp) in NH,,floating around
    all week..I will not be loging into a system..I hope not to see a
    system for that week :-)
    
    When I get back, I will not have time to catch up on LOV,GH,AMC and my
    DEC work all at the same time..I don't want to miss what is going on my
    favorite soaps...I can print out JUST the updates and read them on the
    27th when I return..then I can start to tape my shows again...and I
    will know what went on when i was away....
    
    Thanks to all of you who are gonna help
    
    Lou

    Okay heres the sameday update for 7/9.......
    
    Cooper andn Hannah are talking and Cooper tells Hannah that he
    is doing this for her and he has to find Selena, so he can deal
    with what he needs to deal with.
    
    He says he has never been able to get close to anyone and that
    is why he kept backing away from Hannah.  He says he doesn't
    want to put her through that, but he does want her.
    
    Hannah says earlier with the counselor you didn't even mention
    Selena's name to him and now you can.  He says it is hard for
    him, but he must find her.  She tells him that she loves him
    and she would do anything for him and she wants to be with
    him.
    
    Just then a investigator comes in and is going over some things
    saying he is going to help them look for Salena when Cooper tells
    him that noone knows about this.  He says he understands and
    will be in touch.  
    
    Gwen is talking to Kate about Clay when she says you do know
    that he and Dinah Lee are back together.  Gwen says she knows,
    but Isabelle can't find out yet or it would hurt her.  She says
    for Isabelle's sake she won't tell her.
    
    Gwen the says that she is in love with Clay and wants him back
    and says he will stay with her and not with Dinah Lee.  Kate 
    says she can't force love.  Gwen says she has what Clay wants
    and he will be with her.
    
    Ava is talking to Casey while fixing some manequin's (sp) 
    hair and they are talking about Ally.  She is trying to find
    out why he doesn't want her anymore.  He tells her what happened
    and she says not to give up. 
    
    He is telling her he doesn't want to wait around for Cooper
    to dump her.  Just then he sees what he thinks is dandruff in
    the manequins hair and goes to look at it and says this is
    cocaine!!!!!!!!!!!  That is the end.
    
    Stacey comes home and is calling for Jack when she finds him
    in the bedroom waiting for her.  They get romantic and talk
    about how sorry he is and she says she forgives him as they
    make love.
    
    Jack then tells her to close her eyes and he puts a ring 
    on her finger and asks her to marry him again.  That is 
    the end.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Tracey, thank you, thank you, thank you!!
    
    Lou.....your vacation sounds like a dream!
    
    Linda

    
    LOU -->  Have a great time on Winnepeasaukee!!  It's a great place to
    have a vacation!  My in-laws had a place there for over 20 years and it
    was great being able to run up every weekend!!  But it is a
    tremendously busy lake -- careful if you head out in the boat to go
    skiing or anything.  People can get pretty careless!  If you get time
    head over to Weirs Beach and there is (or use to be) a great pizza
    place that is in this small house on the blvd but it looks out over the
    pier.  Best pizza around!
    
    Happy vacationing!
    
    PS -- I also like Cooper and Hannah together but when I was watching
    Cooper and Ally in the hospital room he really seemed sincere.  Almost
    like he really cared about her.
    
    
    Lisa in N.C.
    

    
    Great update Tracey..Thanks for the well wishes everyone..I'll be
    carefull!
    
    I missed yesterdays show, so the update was great...Hmm cocaine in the
    mannequins (sp) wonder why Bazel would get involved in that.
    
    Lou

    
    i too think that cooper cares for alley but not the same way that he
    cares for hannah.  
    
    staige told alley the other day to fake it and i think she is going to. 
    i don't remember what day it was or if it was mentioned in here yet.
    
    i think its kinda funny that cooper is now being brought to light as a
    virgin after all the passes he made on alley.  course it doesn't take
    much with her.
    
    thanks for keeping us up to date everyone.  i wonder if tracy saw
    todays.. :)
    
    cj

    cj -->>  Yes I'm here. *^)  I'll update on what I saw on today's.
    I missed part of it, but here it goes.
    
    Update for 7/10......
    
    Clay is with Gwen at AE when she tells him that he has to work
    late that night and he is upset.  He think she did it on purpose
    because she knows he wants to be with Dinah Lee.
    
    Gwen looked real hurt and tells him that isn't right and it is
    because of the late start he had and she had to cover for him
    that morning because of what he was doing with Dinah Lee!!!!!!!
    She says and don't let it happen again I won't cover for you.
    
    She leaves him with his work when the phone rings and it is
    Dinah Lee calling to tell him she misses him and how much she
    loves him.  He says he misses her as they say how much they
    had enjoyed there night together. 
    
    She then says what ideas she has for that evening when he says
    he won't be able to do that because he has to work.  She is
    somewhat disappointd but says she understands and wants to 
    know if he can stop by after, he says yes.  They hang up and
    in comes Tim.
    
    Clay wants to know who he is and he makes up a name and what
    he is doing there.  They have a small chat and Isabelle comes
    up, but he gets out of it by not telling the truth.  When he
    leaves Clay calls up Dinah Lee.  She answers the phone in a 
    towel.
    
    Clay wants to know what she was doing and she said she just
    got out of the shower.  He is making a gesture and tells her
    to take her towel off he has a idea.  (That was the last scene
    I saw with them, there could have been one more)
    
    Tricia and Trucker are meeting with there attorney's together
    and Tricia's lawyer is telling him that he doesn't stand a
    chance to get sole custody and the judge won't do it. Trucker
    is getting upset when Tricia says she wants to talk to her
    husband alone.
    
    When they are alone he isn't to happy and he wants to know
    what she wants she starts to talk to him.  (That was all I 
    saw of them.)
    
    Ava and Casey are shocked to learn that it is cocaine and
    Casey thinks the owners son has to know, but they can't figure
    it out.  They go to hide the cocaine.

    	The scene with Clay and DL that ended the show was....
    
    	Gwen came in to see Clay in his office and his attitude had
    	changed completly...he had a whole new outlook on everything.
    	He said he would like to go to dinner with the clients to
    	finish the deal, and he would like to take Gwen in his new
    	limo that he bought.  He said that he's hired himself a 
    	chauffeur.  Gwen was very excited because she thought she
    	and Clay were going in style out to dinner, when in walks
    	Dl dressed up like a chauffeur...it was kind of cute...
    
    
    	Alexis	

    what no same day update!  you spoiled us tracy.
    
    alexis, thanks for filling in about fridays show.  i think its a great
    idea having her as the driver.  gwyn won't be able to try anything now. 
    or maybe she would.. knowing her.
    
    has anyone else noticed that lately we seem to "like" and "enjoy" the
    character of clay.  he is one of the good guys now.  i don't think the
    old clay could of made us change our minds like this.  i think alot has
    to do larkin portraying him.  i do like him though.. and with dl even
    though they are ages apart.  seems like the only couple that has pulled
    pulled that off.  
    
    well, thanks again for the updates...
    
    cj

    
    Cj --> I'm with you...I like how Clay has turned out..the old Clay
    could of never done it.
    
    I liked Trisha yesterday...she really stood up for her self...about
    time.!  
    
    Trisha was trying to talk to Trucker to get him to drop the case. 
    Trucker stood his ground and Trisaha got fighting mad.  We are in for a
    battle.  
    
    Trisha has turned twords Shanna now it seems....Trisha is being nice to
    Shanna and Shanna is trying her best to be fair.
    
    Cooper told Alley he is in love w/ Hanna and Alley got very upset..she
    had a dream that Cooper was Bruce Springsteen (becaue he brought her
    some the bosses tapes to listen to)  (do you think LOV is watching GH?)
    (paul makes a much better BRuce then Cooper)
    
    The doc told Alley she could go home....Alley does not want to go home
    
    Gotta go

    Sorry I haven't had a chance to write in today. 
    
    I was correct, Patricia Barry (the new Isabelle) did play Peg English,
    Brooke's mother from 1980-1981.  Funny how I can remember a soap name
    from 12 years ago while I have trouble the homework I read last
    night!!!  Shows you where my interests lie!!!!!  The new Isabelle airs
    tomorrow, July 15.
    
    There are conflicting stories on why Celeste Holm left the show.  The
    show says it was a mutual decision.  But, Larkin Malloy (Clay) says
    that Holm told him the news herself and was in tears as he excorted her
    to her car after the meeting (Wed. June 24).  She was called in on her
    day off.
    
    A statement released by Holm's spokeswoman says:  "Celeste Holm agreed
    to play the role of Isabelle under certain artistic conditions agreed
    to by Loving.  As time went by, however, thse conditions were altered,
    culminating in a new head writer, and executive producer, neither of
    whom understood those conditions.  The situation led to Holm's
    departure from the show."
    
    Barry also played Addie Horton on Days of our Lives from 1971-1974.

    Thanks for the news on Isbelle!!!
    
    I'll go and try to do an update
    
    L

I might run boths days together...if so I'm sorry.. :-)

Ava is at Bernells and she is meeting Momma and Louie for lunch..Louie
comes in w/ news paper artical of Ava and Casey cathing Basel..Ava is
in her glory and happy until she is telling them tht Mr. Bernell sent her
a telegram thanking her...she is upset because she wants to see Mr. Bernel
in person and thinks she deserves it.  Ava was also made Manager of the store

Casey comes in w/ Hanna and Ava wants him to have the day off so he can go
and see Alley and tell her what a hero he is.

C&H sit down and H thinks he is crazy...and all C can do is talk about Ava.
Then they talk about Cooper and how he has his hold over woman and H gets off
the subjet of Cooper...she does tell Casey she loves Cooper and that Alley
is just gonna have to get over this..

Alley is talking w/ Staige and Staige wants her to still facke she is sick
and stay in the hospital and get clsoe to Isabelle...Alley is thinking about
it becasue she wants Cooper and maybe Isabelle will think Alley is a better
person then Hanna.

Trishia went to see Stacy to ask her to tesitfy in her behalf and Stacy told
he she can't. Stacy wants to say neutral....Trisha is upset and runs go Giff 
Giff feels bad but tells Trishia he can't help her because he feels for her 
and he wants her...Trishia can't belive all this.

Gwen got very upset when she saw DL as the chauffer...DL and Clay are 
determiend to make this  business realtionship work so they can be near
each other...

well..thats the best I can do..gotta go

    i have a feeling that this mr. burnell that isn't letting ava see him
    knows her.  maybe its alex!!! wouldn't that be great?!  does anyone
    else feel the same way?
    
    and, did he fire his relative that was the manager?  
    
    thanks for the updates...
    
    cj

    
    
    	Carla...I think you are right!!  In yesterday's show, it showed
    	someone (Mr. Burnell) looking at a yearbook...there was a picture
    	of Ava with a big red heart drawn around it...  Of course we 
    	couldn't see what he looked like...I can't wait until they reveal
    	who his is!
    
    	Alexis

    
    well alexis, don't keep us in the dark, are you going to give us a full
    update?
    
    
    much thanks even if you can't....
    
    
    cj

    
    Well...back a few notes Lou gave an update for yesterday.  This was
    just a little part she didn't mention.  But everything else is there.
    
    Alexis

    Here is a sameday update guys......... I'll give you what I saw.
    Update for 7/15......
    
    Cooper goes to see Ally and she fakes being sick and faints.
    Cooper is worried about her as the nurses come in to see what
    is wrong.  When she comes to (even though she never fainted) she
    begs him to stay with her and he says yes he will.
    
    Gwen and Dinah Lee are together when Dinah Lee says she is sorry
    for driving the way she did, but the car bothered her.  Gwen 
    tells her she doesn't forgive her and says she won't be driving
    for them!!!!!!!!!!1
    
    Dinah Lee tells her that her and Clay will be together whether
    she likes it or not. Gwen then gets informed that Isabelle would
    like to see her.  (The new Isabelle is on) Isabelle is talking
    to Jack about how he and Stacey have decided to renew there vows
    and she is saying what a romantic guy he is.
    
    Isabelle is getting better and GWen goes to see her.  That was
    about it.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    
    
    	I will add a little to yesterday's update...
    
    	When Ally faked that she fainted, she was in Isabelle's room 
    	visiting her.  Cooper came in to visit Isabelle, and Ally was
    	acting all cheering, telling them that she is going to be 
    	released today.  She said she was going to leave them alone
    	to talk and as she was going for the door, she faked fainting.
    	
    	Once in her own bed, the doctor told her that she will consult
    	with a specialist and figure out what is wrong with her.  They
    	are going to keep her in the hospital longer to run tests.
    
    	Jack went to see Isabelle and he told her that she actually did
    	her a favor by pushing him out of the CEO position.  He said
    	he is like a new man.  They had a nice talk, they both apologized
    	to each other for the past and Jack told her about him and Stacy
    	renewing their vows.  Jack also told Isabelle that Gwen doesn't
    	live at the mansion, but Clay does.  This is when Isabelle called
    	Gwen at AE to tell her that she would like to speak with her.
    
    	Gwen rushes over to the hospital, and Isabelle says that today 
    	she found out that the only two people she trusts, lied to her.
    	Gwen says "who" and she says, "You and Clay"  this is how the
    	show ends.
    
    	There was another part with Giff and Casey.  Casey is still on
    	his break from Brunells so he goes to see Giff.  Giff has drawings
    	of Trisha all over the room.  Looks like he's beginning to become
    	obsessed with her.  Casey tried talking to him about it, but
    	Giff was acting really weird.  He was trying to get Casey to leave.
    	Casey asked him if he was taking his medication...Giff said that
    	he is always real good about that.  After Casey leaves, Giff pulls
    	a drawing out of the trash and looks at it, he says "Trisha, you
    	are so beautiful"  (if they make him become a physco like Jeff,
    	I'll definately stop watching!)
    
    	I  think that was about it...the scenes with DL and Gwen were
    	pretty funny!  Gwen was ordering DL around telling her to bring
    	her somewhere and then drop off her dirty laundry, then pick 
    	her up again.  DL was not pleased, but decided to give Gwen the
    	ride of her life.  The next scene is them coming back in the office
    	with Gwen wiping coffee off her shirt.
    
    	DL was saying sorry for taking that corner so fast, I have to get
    	used to the breaking system.  Then she said, good thing you didn't
    	have sugar in your coffee, or you might not be able to get the
    	stain out.
    
    	Gwen was so mad when they got back, she made DL photocopy these
    	reports and have them on everyones desk by morning.  Then Gwen
    	says, I hope this won't ruin any plans you had for the evening.
    
    	I think that's about it!
    
    	Alexis

    I saw the show this morning.  When Casey said that to Giff about his
    medication, coupled with the way he is acting, I thought they may have
    Giff portraying a Manic-Depressive.  He is displaying some of the
    syptoms. We'll see!!!
    
    Cheryl

    
    I had the same thought Cheryl...Great minds think alike...
    
    well, I'm off for Vaca'  Thanks to Linda and Tracey who said they
    would send me the updates in my e-mail
    
    Lou

    just what is a manic depressive?  is it at all like jeff being obsessed
    with trisha?  i'm with you alexis, i'll stop watching.  and, it just
    gets me so mad to see all this whining over a lady who does nothing but
    whine and get spoiled by her family.  she doesn't deserve it and most
    men would think it was a real turn off IMHO.
    
    does anyone think that ava and casey are going to get together?  i
    think in the long run that alley will fall in love with casey but i
    think ava might be in need of man and casey might just be the one to do
    it.
    
    i wonder who the person is?  if they have a high school year book then
    its probably no one we know but... i still wish it was alex!
    
    cj
    
    p.s. thanks for the update
    

Hi,

I personally would love to see Ava and Casey together.  I know she's older
than he is, but she certainly doesn't act it and they get along so well
together.  Ava needs to be with somebody controversial and interesting, and
I think they'd be perfect together, but I wonder how Sandy would take it?
BTW, where is the little twerp these days????  Are they going to pretend he
doesn't exist, kinda like Trucker did when Christopher came into the picture.

I hate Trisha.  I hope Trucker gets the kid.  She is so sickening telling 
Stacy to decide who's side she's on.  I mean really, like that kind of attitude
isn't going to push Stacy into the enemy camp.  They have to make Giff into
some kind of psycho/weirdo, especially after the sicky sweet relationship she
had with Trucker.   I liked Trisha best with Nick.  He certainly kept Miss
High-Society in line, huh?

I'm really looking forward to Jack leaving the show, but how are they going to 
work it with Stacy?

I haven't had a chance to watch my tape yet since the new Isabelle has been on.
How is she compared to the first 2?  What's Trisha calling this one? Grammy?

The show used to be really good, it's on a rapid down slide, IMO, of course.
We need some good schemers like Lorna/Curtis used to be together.  I thought 
Gwen was going to get back to old self, but it looks like she's losing some 
backbone with age. The only one with any spunk is Staige, but she just doesn't
fit in with the rest of mushbuckets.  Maybe this Mr. Burnell will put the show 
back in the running?  I hope so.

Well, enough of this complaining,

Have a good one.

Donna

>> BTW, where is the little twerp these days????  Are they going to pretend he
>> doesn't exist, kinda like Trucker did when Christopher came into the picture.

I meant, kinda like Trucker did about Rocky/Rio when Christopher came into the
picture.  He didn't even mention his family (if I recall correctly) or even
give her a call.

Hi,

Did we ever find out what was in the box that JJ found in the secret room and 
gave to Dane Hammond?

The reason I was thinking of this is because I just went back and read some
old updates about Stacy doing a article for TEMPO magazine on Alden history...
Wasn't that part of it, or was that before all this?

Maybe this should go in the history note...

Donna

    cj:
    
    Manic-Depression is a chemical imbalance of the brain.  It is usually
    characterized by severe mood swings and eratic behavior.  Patty Duke is
    a manic-Depressive and wrote the book "Call Me Anna" about her illness. 
    People who are in the manic phase may spend lots of money, make lots of
    phone calls, yell at people for the very littlest things.  Then they
    sort of "crash" in to a depressive state.  Then back to manic, etc. 
    Some even hallucinate.  I have noticed (in 2 friends I have who are
    manic-depressive) that they are also alcoholics too.  (I notice Giff
    was hiding alcohol on Casey!!!)  Alcohol can really set off the
    symptoms in those who have this condition.  Lithium is the medication
    which is given to get the brain back into balance.
    
    I hope this was explain correctly.  Anyone have anymore to add.
    
    Cheryk

    
    thanks for the response about giffs problem.  i still think its too
    much for trisha's character to again go through something like this. 
    ugg.... change her!!
    
    i don't remember giff hiding any alcohol from casey either.  i am sure
    this has happened because of his guilt about his wife's death over the
    delivering of casey and why he wasn't around casey much.  i also think
    that casey and ava will have a fling.  and, it might be just that that
    will get alley jealous and the start of their relationship.  
    
    i haven't seen the show in so long.  maybe next friday the day before
    my wedding i will get a chance.
    
    any updates?  thanks again,

    About little Alex...
    
    He was living with Alex and his wife (what-s-her-name) out on the
    West Coast somewhere, but came home for Ava and Paul's wedding
    (that didn't happen). Ava wanted to keep him in Corinth, but
    he was very unhappy, and she tearfully sent him back to live with
    Alex and ? (can't remember her name, but the blonde one with the
    accent).
    
    Karen 

>>    Alex and ? (can't remember her name, but the blonde one with the

Yuck - you mean Egypt...she drove me crazy!!!!

Thanks for the reminder...How could I forget that one???

    He then says he is glad they have worked there differences out
    since AE and he realizes they didn't try to take his job.
    
    They tell him they are happy for that and they are glad to be
    there today.  They then say its nice to be back as family. In

    what is she doing here?!!?!?!?!?
    
    She says she didn't come to start anything.  Gwen says how dare
    you come around after what you are trying to do.  Clay tells 
    her to lay off of her.  Gwen says do you know what she is
    trying to do to Trisha?!?!?!?!?!?!
    
    Gwen says she is trying to take Christopher away from Trisha
    and Trucker to get sole custody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Clay can't believe
    it and says what do you think you are doing, is that true?!?!!?!?!?
    
    Stacey is getting ready for the wedding when Trisha comes in and
    says she wanted to come by.  She says she wanted to congradulate
    her and is coming by to talk about how she asked her to pick sides.
    Just then Trucker walks in and says I should go this isn't a good
    time to talk.
    
    Stacey says she wanted to talk to them both and they should stay.
    They both say they don't have anything to say.  Trisha and Trucker
    both end up fighting by saying that they are each going to get
    Christopher.  Trucker says he can't stay for the wedding and
    Trisha tells him not to leave she is leaving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    She storms out and walks into Clay asking Shanna what does she
    think she is doing?!?!?!?!?!?  Trisha tells him to lay off and
    she can take care of herself!!!!!!!!!!  Clay says he can't believe
    she would do this.  Shanna says she's not trying to take Christopher
    away.
    
    Trisha ends up saying she can handle this and Shanna walks away.
    Clay says that Christopher isn't going to be taken away and does
    she have a good lawyer.  She says she does and it isn't any of his
    concern.  
    
    He says he is concerned and he wants to know who her lawyer is and
    she tells him.  He wants to immediately get one of his and she will
    not hear of it.  Jack then comes out and wants to know what all of
    the confusion is out here.  He says this isn't the time or place
    for this it's our wedding day.
    
    Trisha tells Clay she is handling it.  Trucker then comes out and 
    they both end up leaving very unhappy.
    
    Ally is visiting Isabelle when the Dr. says Isabelle needs some 
    tests done.  When they take Isabelle away he asks why she is spending
    so much time with her.  Ally says she cares for her and likes to spend
    time with her.

    There are some good new storylines that seem to be coming.  Now
    we know what happens to Jack to get him off the show.  It seems
    they are leaving it open for him to come back, unless they really
    find the body.
    
    I can't believe Trisha and Giff are going to be together.  I'm
    not sure if I like this one or not.  I am glad however that 
    Cooper and Hannah are going to finally be together I think they
    will be cute together.
    
    What will happen when Gwen is on board Clay's yacht as he goes
    to look for Jack.  I didn't think they would have them get together
    this soon, I really would rather have Clay with Dinah Lee.

    Tracey!  Thanks so much for the same day update!!  I just love those!
    
    Hey, what's the weather like in Corinth today?  I'm asking cuz I was
    able to catch a couple of shows over the weekend and I think they need
    help in wardrobe!!!   Cooper was wearing cutoff jeans....shorts...and
    Jack was wearing a heavy duty winter sweater with a shirt underneath!! 
    I cracked up!  They weren't  in the same room at the same time, but
    that's still pretty funny and obvious.  I noticed Cooper in shorts when
    Ally did her fake fainting bit in Isabelle's room.  I remember thinking
    it's not often you see soap people in shorts.  I wonder if they were
    the actor's real clothes and he didn't have time to change?  But Jack
    in a thick sweater in July!??  PPPPPPLLLLLUEEEASSSEE!!!
    
    Not sure if  I like the new Isabelle yet.......I still would rather
    have the original.  oh, well.
    
    I'm sending Lou the updates, but after Wednesday, it's your turn
    Tracey.  I will be outa here on Thursday for my vactation and won't be
    back at work 'til Aug. 3!! YEAH!!
    
    Thanks again for the same day update!
    
    Linda

    i'm with you linda!  i leave wednesday at 4:30 and don't come back till
    the 4th!  its my honeymoon and i'm phyched big time to get out of here
    and go sit on a beach in the carribean.
    
    i couldn't believe the same day update was in here already!  much
    thanks tracy!  
    
    i haven't seen the new isabelle so i can't comment on it.  i see hannah
    in those noxemas commercial's all the time.  i'm confusing that with
    her character too its on so much.  i do like cooper and her together. 
    cooper has grown on me.  
    
    i don't understand why shanna is on this show at all.  they do nothing
    with her.  
    
    comments on upcoming:
    
    
    
    do you think that gwyn and clay are going to sleep together on the
    boat?  i am shocked at this because if clay "really" loves dl he
    couldn't do that.  and if they are going to accept this and have dl
    accept it (in time, i'm sure she won't at first) then i lose faith in
    this soap.
    
    so jack is lost at sea.  good move, they will bring him back.  trucker
    and stacy will have a brief affair i am sure of it now.  
    
    and, i'm also sure about ava and casey, its written all over the
    updates that they will be together soon.
    
    thanks again everyone!

    I think I like the new Isabelle.  She sure makes her think she
    is not a very softhearted person that is for sure. *^)  
    
    I think that Gwen and Clay are going to sleep together and that
    would be just to typical for the soaps.  Spare us!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Linda -->>  Good eye on the clothes I didn't even pay attention
    to the fact that Cooper was wearing shorts and Jack a sweater.
    That is pretty wierd that Jack would be in a sweater when it is
    SUPPOSE to be warm. *^)

    Sameday update for 7/21........from what I saw. *^)
    
    Stacey and Jack are enjoying there wedding night.  He gives her
    a wedding present and she is so happy.  They go to bed and are
    very lovey dovey.
    
    Clay goes back to Isabele's and is getting ready for bed when he
    sees Gwen there.  He asks what she is doing there and she says 
    you asked me to spend the night.  Clay says yes, but not in the
    same room with me.
    
    Clay says he did this for Isabele's sake and he is going to tell
    her the truth about them and Dinah Lee.  Gwen is trying to tell
    him not to and he doesn't want to listen.
    
    He then goes to see Dinah Lee and they are in the limo kissing
    and saying how glad they are to see each other.  (that's all I
    saw of that part).
    
    Cooper is waiting to see Selena and Hannah is there telling him
    not to be nervous because she is nice and everything will be
    okay.  Cooper is trying to be calm.
    
    Selena comes out and starts talking to him.  That is the end.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    I saw an article on the actor playing Giff in SOW and was struck by how
    much his pictures resemble Shane on DOOL.....wonder if they are related
    or it the pictures were of the wrong mans :-)  

    i was talking about the giving hints that we wanted the same day
    update.  i don't make sense lately though so bear with me.  tomorrow is
    my last day in work .... i'm useless now and think it would be best for
    the company and me!
    
    thanks for the update tracy!
    
    i am not clear on selena.  do we know anything more about her than she
    was coopers nanny?  what does she look like?  how old is she?  thanks
    much,
    
    
    cj
    the nervous one...
    
    :)
    

    cj -->>  I saw Selena for a brief moment and she is probably in
    her middle to early 30's but older than him and was cute.  I wish
    I would have heard what she said it was only on for the last 2
    minutes of the show.  
    
    Hopefully someone else out there can fill us in on what she said
    cause I want to know to. *^)  Thanks!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    I taped/watched for the first time in MONTHS.....Cooper told Selena he
    wanted to talk about the time she was living with them.  She said that
    it was the happiest two years of her life.  He said he specifically
    wanted to talk about the summer in the cabin when he turned twelve. 
    Selena turned away and said that she has been trying to forget that
    day....and it ended.  Now could some one tell me briefly, either here
    or send/author, do we know what happened between Selena and Cooper or
    are we just guessing???
    
    thanks,
    /red

    /red:
    
    They haven't told us yet.  They keep giving us hints, but we still
    don't know what the scoop is.  I guess we'll find out today.
    
    Cheryl

    They haven't said what it is yet... but the hints are that Cooper
    had some kind of traumatic experience that affected his
    sexuality. We don't know how Selena was involved...

    I can't wait to find out what is is!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am glad that I
    didn't miss it yesterday.  This should be interesting to learn 
    exactly what happened with Selena and Cooper when he was younger.
    
    I hope they are on today!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Tracey, I'm so glad you are sending Lou the updates too!  I've been so
    busy trying to get stuff done before my vacation, that I just haven't
    had time to get in here and felt bad I didn't send the update to Lou. 
    When I just read you did it, I was psyched!
    
    Hope we find out what happend with Selena and Cooper.  I'm sure it's
    the old standby that she seduced him or something.  I guessed that a
    long time ago, remember?  And that his parents caught them and did
    something to her or both of them?  I hope it's not that though....if it
    is, they should've made him older than 12!
    
    Gotta go......wicked busy.  "See" you guys in August!
    
    Linda

    Linda -->>  Have a great vacation!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    cj -->>  You too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    thanks for the wishes tracy.  i'm leaving in a few hours and can't
    wait!
    
    i can't believe that it has to do with cooper being involved at 12 with
    any kind of sexual act.  i bet he walked in on his father and her, or
    someone with her and it ended up that his parents thought she was with
    him when she wasn't.  remember that cooper said he loved selena so i
    would think that he was hurt from her being with someone and him seeing
    (aka his father???) 
    
    well tracy, considering that you are excited about the show, i hope you
    will give us an update!  
    
    thanks again,
    
    cj

    Update for 7/22.......
    It was a good one, they did show Cooper!!!!!
    
    Cooper and Selena talk and he wants to know what happened as he
    keeps blaming himself.  She tells him it wasn't his fault.  He then
    thinks back to when he was 12 (I think or 10) and it was his birthday
    and his parents weren't around and he was upset.
    
    Selena tried to comfort him and she said that she would celebrate
    his birthday with him, so they did.  He was very upset, so she went
    to his bedroom and then they show the two of them laying there next
    to each other.
    
    Selena says this should not have happened and I have to go back
    to my own room.  She says you needed me and I was here.  Cooper
    says I'm glad you were I love you Selena.  She says everything
    will be okay and she is about to leave when he begs her to stay
    with him for the night, so she says okay.
    
    He tells her that he loves her and she says that she was there
    for him when he needed someone.  They go to sleep and then the
    next thing we see is Coopers parents come in his room and they
    see the two of them sleeping in bed.
    
    They are mortified as they tell her to get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Coopers mother is crying and his father says he will take care
    of this.  Cooper is upset and his dad says he won't have to 
    see her again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Cooper then is now talking to Selena saying it is his fault
    and he knows it is.  Selena says it was her fault and she 
    knows it is!!!!!!!!!!!  (I then missed the end, someone please
    fill it in what they said)
    
    I then saw Hannah looking in at the two of them.
    
    Stacey is frantically waiting for the rescue search team to
    look for Jack and they say they are done looking.  She is very
    upset when they say this and she says she knows he is out there
    you have to find him!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Gwen and Clay are talking when he says he is going to tell his
    mother the truth.  They then find out about Jack and are upset
    as they are going to be with Stacey.  That is the end
    
    I hope I got most of it. *^)

    Comment behind spoiler:
    
    
    
    So Tracey, did you get the impression that they slept together, or was
    she just comforting him and got caught by the parents, who made it out
    to be something dirty and thus, Cooper's problems?
    
    Cheryl

    Cheryl -->>  Comment behind spoiler......
    
    I really get the impression that they did nothing together, but
    just slept together.  I was hoping that someone else would have
    a better understanding.  They never showed them doing nothing
    and she by no means had her clothes off and nither did Cooper.
    
    I think since his parents caught them together just sleeping
    and he really thought as a young child that he loved Selena
    almost as a parent that he couldn't get close to anyone 
    because he remembers how bad his parents made him feel to
    be with anyone.
    
    That is the impression I got when I saw it, at least what I got
    to see of it. *^)  I can't wait to see what you guys see when 
    you watch it. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Hi Everyone!!!
    
    comments behind spoiler if I can remember how to do it...
    
    
    I think that they at least did some touching.  Selena was acting very
    ashamed like she should have known better than to do whatever it was. 
    She also told Cooper that "*it* could never happen again" and not to
    tell anyone.  They may actually have slept with each other.  That would
    explain why Cooper can't be with a woman now, he thinks that sex is
    dirty and awful because of the way his parents reacted.  They made him
    take a hot bath and scrub himself.
    
    Weird storyline anyway.  I like Cooper and Hannah together.  Can't
    believe that Ally!  She has achieved her ultimate goal, she is just
    like Staige now.
    
    It was sooooo sad today when Stacy was searching for Jack.  I am sure
    they will never find his body.  That way he could come back sometime. 
    They have done this storyline before.  Remember when Gwen pushed Clay
    overboard and he was missing for a long time??  Anyone else remember
    that?  Then they brought him back as the imposter, Alex Masters and
    said he had been in a prison camp in some foreign country.
    
    Jo

    Jo --> How are you doing???
    
    I got the impression that more went on then we were shown.  Cooper did
    say that he should have never touched her in that way.  I was actually
    repulsed by the scene.....I may have felt differantly if they had had a
    more "mature" 12 year old or a younger actress playing a younger
    Selena.
    
    Did Gwen actually push Clay overboard???  I thought that Clay planned
    his own disappearence because of his secret agent work....
    
    /red

    I knew I probably missed something with Selena and Cooper.  I
    think they really have to make us wonder at least right now what
    really went on because I know they didn't show anything.
    
    Even if I guess it was just "touching" that is gross being that
    he was only 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It will be nice for Cooper to get
    on now with his life after such a terrible thing to have to
    live with being that he was so young.  I can't believe Selena
    would have done that to him no matter how upset he was, that
    was no excuse.
    
    Today they will probably clear up everything since Hannah was
    listening at least they showed her at the end.  I like them
    together I always have, they are really cute and seem like they
    would be good for each other.
    
    Stacey is going to be in bad shape and of course Trucker is
    going to be there for her.  I wonder what they will do to
    Tricia's and hers friendship.  That should really put some
    distance between them.
    
    I meant to mention that I'm not sure if I like Tricia and Giff
    together they don't do much for me, at least not right now.
    
    
    Tracey
    
                  

    Update for 7/23.......
    
    Cooper and Selena continue there talk as Cooper keeps trying
    to blame himself and Selena tells him that he was a young boy
    and it wasn't his fault.  She says she let him touch her and
    she shouldn't of, but that's all it was.
    
    She says that his father and mother always thought it was more
    and that's why they made him feel ashamed because they didn't
    know what happened.  Cooper says he looked for her and he
    never saw her again.
    
    Selena says she tried to contact him, but she was afraid and
    she was even going to send him a letter, but decided not to.
    She said that she alway hoped everything worked out.   She
    tells him he was such a sweet young boy and he has turned
    into such a caring man she can tell.
    
    She tells him to let go of the past and realize that he has
    a nice girl now and he should be able to share with her.  Cooper
    was upset as he was crying saying how wrong he was and she
    tells him no you weren't!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Cooper goes to wash his face as Selena and Hannah talk.  Hannah
    thanks Selena and she says she was happy to do that and wished
    he didn't have to live with that all this time.  Cooper comes
    back and says he feels better as he says that Selena probably
    won't want him to come back after him getting that upset.
    
    She tells him he is welcome anytime and he should just enjoy.
    He takes Hannah's hand and they leave together.
    
    Stacey is talking with Isabelle and Clay and Gwen and they are
    trying to comfort her.  She tells them not to treat her like
    the widow.  She says Jack will come back he is not gone!!!!!!
    They all try talking to her as she says she can't stand around
    she has to call the coastguard to tell them not to call off
    the search.
    
    Clay says he and Gwen will call them she should stay with
    Isabelle.  They leave her and Isabelle alone as the two of
    them talk about what happened.  Stacey explains that Jack and
    her were going to bed after making love and she was asleep
    and he insisted on going to sea to be under the stars.
    
    She should she awoke about 1 1/2 hours later and he was gone.
    She said she paniced and jumped over to look for him and she
    had already called the coastguard and they found her and they
    started the search, but didn't find him.
    
    Stacey says this was suppose to be there honeymoon and we
    were going to start over again.  She said I know he is going to
    walk through those doors and I am going to be here for him.  
    Isabelle feels bad for her.
    
    Clay and Gwen are calling the coastguard and Clay is yelling
    at them telling them to keep looking!!!!!!!!!!  Gwen says she
    can't believe this happened on there honeymoon.  They both
    say it shouldn't have happened after everything he went through.
    
    Dinah Lee then walks in and says she heard the news and she
    says she is sorry.  Clay says I was just going to tell Isabele
    the news when this happened.  He says he is still going to tell
    her.  Dinah Lee says no don't not know that wouldn't be right.
    
    Gwen is saying not to ither.  They all then say that everyone
    feels bad after what they have done in there own way to Jack
    and Stacey.
    
    Kate and AVa are in with Ally talking to her about getting
    better when Ally insists that she isn't better.  Kate is
    wondering what the matter is and she says she didn't want
    to say anything, but she had a dizzy spell this morning and
    she feels sick to her stomach.
    
    Kate is alarmed and says you should have told me!!!!!!!!!!!
    She says you would just get scared and call the Dr.  She says
    you are right I am and we will find out what is wrong.  She
    then asks Ava when Kate leaves the room for her to go get her
    something to drink.
    
    Ava then hops out of bed and is frantically looking through
    the close for something to put on.  She is saying as she 
    finds a dress of Ava's that she and Cooper eloped as she is
    saying Mrs. Cooper Alden
    
    AVa is standing outside the door watching and listening as
    she says here is your drink Mrs. Cooper Alden.  Ally is 
    surprised to see her there and AVa wants to know what she
    is doing.
    
    Ally tries explaining that she doesn't want to loose Cooper.
    Ava tells her she already has he is with another girl and
    she should go on.  Ally doesn't want to listen.

    Update for 7/24....
    
    Hannah and Cooper go back to the cabin where he was at with
    Selena and at first is alittle nervous to go there.  He goes
    in there with Hannah and he says he feels better about the p
    place.  He was going to want to sell it, but takes the for
    sale sign down.
    
    He tells Hannah that he is happy he is with her and tell her
    how much he has thought about her and wanted her.  She tells
    him how much she wanted him and how long she waited to hear
    that.  She then tells a story about her friends use to talk
    about how they felt about there boyfriends and she would
    always pretend that she knew what they were talking about,
    but she didn't.
    
    She says now she knows how they felt.  He says he feels the
    same about her as he says what a beautiful smile she has.  He
    then kisses her.  He then asks her what she is going to call
    him to her friends.  She says Cooper Alden or Super Cooper
    he says no.
    
    She asks what he wants her to call him and he says you call
    me your boyfriend Cooper Alden and I will call you my girlfriend
    Hannah Mayberry.  They then discuss how awkard it is going to
    be for his grandmother and Dinah Lee to accept.
    
    Hannah is worried, but Cooper tells her that they can get
    through anything after everything they have been through.
    He tells her again how much he wants to be with her and says
    he loves her and she says she loves him and they kiss again.
    
    They then say they are going to go for a walk on the beach
    and Cooper says he is feeling all better now thanks to her.
    His says his mind is clear and a burden has been lifted from
    him shoulder.
    
    Clay and Gwen discuss how upset Stacey was and Clay feels bad
    and says he should have been the one lost at sea.  She says
    for him not to talk silly.  He says it is the truth.  He then
    says he can't sit around he has got to go look for Jack!!!!!
    
    Gwen follows him as he is going out on the boat to look for
    Jack.  Right when the boat has taken off out comes Gwen saying
    she is there to help.  He can't believe she stowed on the boat
    without the other guy on the boat seeing or him knowing.
    
    Clay is uspet and says she's getting off!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She tells
    him she's not and it would be wasting to much time for him to
    take her back she's staying.  She says she saw how good of a
    person he is for wanting to look for JAck and she's not going
    anywhere.  That is the end.
    
    Tricia and Giff are talking as he is worried for her because
    that is considered there first date.  They are drinking wine
    and he asks her to dance to that song "My Brown Eyed Girl"
    so they are and having a good time.
    
    She finally sits down and says she is wearing her out.  He
    tells her she is in good shape and she says he is and how does
    he do it he says it's the jacket and she says give me one and
    they start to laugh.  He then tells her they need more wine,
    so they pour more.
    
    The song "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton comes on and
    Tricia says that's my favorite song.  He says lets dance please,
    so they get up and dance slowly.  They are about to kiss when
    the phone rings and it is Tricia's babysitter giving her the
    news about Jack.
    
    Tricia is upset and her and Giff go to Stacey.  Trucker is 
    with Stacey after he found out what happend after she called
    he came over.  She wanted him to go with her to look for Jack
    and he told her they are going nowhere.
    
    She says I thought you were Jack's bestfriend.  He says he is,
    but she should let the coastguards keep looking.  She says you
    haven't given up on him because I know he's alive he is out
    there waiting for me to find him.
    
    Trucker tells her that it will be alright and she tells him
    not to treat her this way she has to bring these warm clothes
    over for Jack when he gets out of the water he will be cold.
    Trucker is worried and tells her she should go check on the
    kids.
    
    She tells him she can't or they will wonder why they are back
    from there honeymoon and ask where there daddy is.  There is
    a knock at the door and it is Ava.  Stacey doesn't want her
    pity as Stacey says you didn't have to come.
    
    Ava says she knew Jack is there anything she can do.  STacey
    says he is alive there is something you can do you can come
    with us.  Ava wants to know where and she says to find him.
    Trucker is trying to talk to her and so is Ava.
    
    Tricia and Giff show up and Tricia tries talking to Stacey,
    but she is upset.  Tricia then talks to Trucker and tells him
    that Stacey is going to need him and it is good that he is 
    there for her.

    Hi, I'm back from a wonderful week on Lake Winni' in NH!  Thanks to
    Linda and Tracey for the great updates...I came into work on Sunday and
    I picked them up off my mail and took them home and I got all caught
    up!
    
    I can't belive Jack is thought to be dead!  I was shocked...I hate when
    everyone gets happy and then make them sad immeditely!  Poor stacy...
    well,,,will Trucker and Stacy become an item now???????????????
    
    Cooper and Selna...hmmmm...thats interesting...
    
    and Ally...she still has not got a life yet!  come on now!
    
    Thanks again,
    
    Louisa

    
    
    Where is everyone?  
    
    I would just like to add my two cents about this Trisha/Trucker/Giff
    storyline...I know the majority of you don't like Trisha with Giff...
    and I would have to agree...I am starting to really dislike Giff's
    character.  He's driving me nuts!  Trisha is being a witch too!  I'm
    leaning towards Trucker getting the baby, but in a way I feel bad for
    Trisha even though she is a witch!  I hate what they are doing with her
    character...she has this oh woo is me attitude that she blames her
    parents for....GET OVER IT!!!!  She's her own person...she shouldn't
    be blaming people for the things she does!
    
    I feel bad for Stacy!  But maybe her character will be better without
    Jack.  I hoping they can do something with her...or maybe bring back
    another Jack (one that can act)
    
    Alexis

    
    I agree with you...Trisha and Trucker needed a new storyline, but I
    don't care for this one...and I used to love Giff...now he is weird.
    
    Oh well, I hope Trucker gets the baby to!  I hope they give Stacy
    somthing good to do also..I like person playing her, she just needs a
    story.
    
    I wish they would bring Ava more on the frount burner..I miss her.  I
    do like Ally to, until they made her a winniy no-life dweeb!   They
    need more woman like Shanna...a woman who can stand on there own two
    feet and take care of her self!
    
    Hey..any updates???????  please....I'll trade some updates for cable
    channel olympic equistain events? (my VCR is busy taping that instead
    of my soap)

    I have a update for yesterday's show 7/30
    
    Trisha is holding Christopher thinking about how innocent he
    is and how life ends up to be.  Giff is there and telling her
    that everything is going to be okay and she will get Christopher.
    
    Just then there is a knock at the door and it is Gwen coming
    over to go with Trisha to the trial.  Giff opens the door and
    she is not happy to see him she asks what is he doing there?!!?!??!
    She says you are not letting Giff go to the custody hearing are
    you?!!?!?!?!
    
    Giff says that they know what they are doing as Trisha says 
    she is going with Giff.  Giff says he has checked out the fact
    that he can be with Trisha since she is legally separated.
    Christopher starts crying and Trisha goes to get him.
    
    Gwen tells Giff that he better not mess with Trisha and she
    doesn't want her daughter hurt like she was.  He tells her
    that was her and he isn't going to hurt Trisha and she wants
    to be with him as he wants to be with her.
    
    She tells him that she is warning him to stay away and how
    will it look for Trucker to see him with her.  He says he
    knows what hes doing and she will get custody. 
    
    Giff then tells her that she better watch it or she will
    loose her daughter like before.  She says what do you mean
    and he says Tricia ran from you before when I tried to tell
    her to call you, but she said she didn't' want you to interfere
    with her life!!!!!!!!!
    
    She tells him to stay out of this!!!!!!!!!!  He says he is 
    warning her to let them be together or she will loose Tricia!!!!!!
    Tricia then comes out and tells her mother than she can handle
    herself and they leave to go the trial.
    
    Meanwhile Trucker is trying to get ready for the trial and while
    ironing his shirt which he's having trouble with there is a knock
    at the door.  He doesn't have any pants on, so he opens it part
    of the way and it is Stacey.
    
    She ssays can I come in and he is still looking for his pants,
    but she pushes the door opened.  She is a bit ambarassed and says
    what are you doing?!?!?!?!?!  He is looking on the unmade bed for
    his pants telling her he's having a hard time.  She is hiding her
    face so she doesn't see him as she's helping him look when she
    sees the iron burning his white shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    She takes the iron off and there is a big black burn hole and he
    says now what am I going to wear since you know how I dress.  He
    starts looking for clothes and manages to put on a tie and finds
    his pants and another shirt.
    
    Trucker asks how she is doing and she says she didn't sleep well,
    but she wants to talk about him.  He says he feels bad for her
    but then she notices a toy box on the floor and she says how nice
    it is.  He says it is for Christopher as he says he is going to
    have his son.
    
    She opens it up and sees all these toys and he says he wants him
    to have a good home as he mentions what kindof good life he could
    have out there with the woods and they could go fishing when he
    gets a bit older.  Stacey says he would be a good father, but is
    he sure he wants to do this.
    
    He says he has to get his son.  There is then a knock at the door
    and it is Shana.  The first thing she tells him to do is to change
    the color of his tie to blue.  It is suppose to mean calm and she
    says he needs to score points.
    
    She then says that being in court isn't going to be easy for him
    she is going to prove that Tricia is a unfit mother and he would
    be the best parent.  Stacey looks worried and says are you sure
    you really want to do this?!?!?!?!?!!?
    
    Shana says when I am done you and Trisha won't be friends anymore.
    Trucker says he has to do it.  
    
    Giff and Tricia are at the courthouse when Trucker and Stacey
    walk in with Shana.  Stacey tells Trucker that if he isn't 100%
    sure he should go an talk to Tricia and they both can have joint
    custody since they both are his parents and that would be the
    best thing for them all.  
    
    He agrees to go talk to her as he goes over to Tricia he asks how
    Christopher is doing and Giff immediately says he's fine as 
    Trucker tells him he was talking to Tricia.  Giff looks at him
    and doesn't give Tricia a chance to answer and says he shouldn't
    be talking to Tricia.
    
    Trucker looks at him and has fire in his eye as he says I will
    see you in the courtroom.  Trucker goes back over to Stacey and
    he says I have to go through with it.  Stacey wants to know what
    happened and Trucker says he is going to raise his son!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Ava was on with Casey and she was talking about how upset she is
    that she can't see Burnell and all he does is look at her through
    that video camera.  Ava walks away and Case says I notice you don't
    you see I'm here!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Ava comes back and Casey is making a joke about the fact that Burnel
    is like the Phantom and Ava says yes that's it.  She is now daydreaming
    that she meets him in the store and he is like the Phantom with
    Blonde hair and he takes her hand and they start to kiss and he
    walks away.
    
    She comes to and she says yes your angel of fashion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Casey is down the way from her and he comes over to her and says
    your angel of fashion and starts to make fun of her dream.  She
    says she is going to meet him!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    They next show her going in this room full of cameras and she 
    sees a Phantom in a chair with a mask over there face and she
    says Mr. Burnell?!?!?!?!?!  She says I finally get to meet you
    (or something like that) she goes over to the chair which is
    turned facing the other way.
    
    She turns it around and it is a manequin with a note in his
    hand.  It says Angel of Fashion and she opens it up and it says
    STOP DAYDREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She is upset and says I'm gonna
    get you!!!!!!!!!!!  That is the end.

    The judge awards Trisha custody of Christopher.  Trucker becomes so
    enraged that he threatens Giff!  He also informs Trisha that he is
    flying to the Dominican Republic for a quickie divorce.
    
    Isabelle rushes to Tim's side after his collapse.  Clay walks in just
    in time to hear the truth; the he is Tim's son.  Without being seen,
    Clay leaves in shock.  Tim succumbs, but not before finding the
    strength to tell Isabelle how much he loves her.  When Clay demands the
    truth from Isabelle, she tells him the whole story.  Clay feels so
    betrayed, he vows he will never forgive Isabelle!  
    
    Giff does his best to convince Trisha that she belongs with him.
    
    Next:  Trisha worries about Trucker.  Isabelle begs Clay for forgive
    and forget.

    Help...no update in days...anyone have one??
    
    Lou

    Lou --> it seems so long ago, but I'll give a try for yesterday (I hope
    to watch my tape before tonight's dinner, so maybe I can fill you in
    then)
    
    Trisha is awarded custody of the baby.  In the hallway (at court)
    Trucker goes off and gets physical with Giff (who I can't stand...my
    Monty feelings are coming out).  Trisha's lawyer told Trucker that if
    he has a problem with Giff that's fine with him (I don't think he's
    very fond of Giff either), but violence is not good for his son and he
    better watch it or he will have Trucker banned from the divorce and
    visitiation hearings.
    
    Trucker later shows up at Trisha/Giffs (where are they...Corinth
    Towers and is Giff staying with Trisha?  Who is living in Stacey's old
    house?) and tells Giff he wants to be alone with Trisha and the baby. 
    Trisha tells Giff to leave.  He stands outside the door.  Trisha tells
    Trucker she is sorry about what happened in the court room, Trucker
    says he wants to hold his son.  When he holds the baby he tells the
    baby that his daddy let him down, that he will not be living with him
    at the cabin but that doesn't mean he isn't his daddy and that he'll
    always be there for him.  Trucker gives the baby back to Trisha and
    starts for the door, Trisha said Trucker, don't leave yet.....the end
    
    Ava and Louie have a picnic laid out for Ally and Bowman (can't
    remember his first name....wass it Casey)  they yell (A+B) at each
    other then Casey grabs Ally and starts kissing her.  Lou and Ava are
    watching in the window and they start praising each other on a job well
    done.  Meanwhile the kiss stops and the fighting starts.  They trash
    the picnic....  
    
    Ava starts feeling sorry for herself, wondering if she's ever going to
    find someone to love who loves her and her mother tells her it will
    happen.  Ava tells Kate that she has this fantasy built up in her head
    about Mr. Burnell coming and sweeping her off her feet.....
    
    Ava is out on the porch clearing the remains of the picnic.  Carly show
    up.  She told Ava she had to tell her in person about Paul...Ava says
    Paul, is something wrong with Paul.  Carly says Paul and I got
    married....THE END!

    Red!!!!  Thanks!!! 
    
    CARLY!!!!!!  she's back????? was it the real Carly????  do you know how
    long she is back for???? did she she Michale??????
    
    Sorry for al the questions
    
    L

    No more answers unless you show up tonight.  Put your foot down tell
    your husband you have plans.  Besides Bonnie is coming with me and
    she'd love to see you.....
    
    /red

    Answers:
    
    /red:  Trisha is at the Corinth Towers, but Giff is still in his own
    place.
    
    No one is living in the Gate House, although Stacey still goes there. 
    I think she will move back though.
    
    Lou:  Yes, it was "our" Carly.  Her first comment to Ava was "I love
    your hair."  Then she asked Ava what was wrong (Ava still had tears on
    her face) and Ava replied, that nothing was wrong.  It was really
    touching.  I think they'll continue today.
    
    I noticed that they haven't made much of Jack's dissappearance.  No
    memorial service, no nothing.  Stacey was "business as usual" at
    Trucker's hearing, with just Giff mentioning Jack.  This has been
    really weird.
    
    Cheryl

    Oh, she didn't bring Michael.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Carley also told Ava that she and Paul were married... thats  when it
    ended.

    Thanks for the quick answers!  
    
    Red - Give Bonnie my love, I wish I could put my foot down, but my
    hubby has me wraped around his finger...I guess casue I think he's so
    cute... :-)
    
    Lou

    Lou, we missed you, but I know how that "wrapped" thing goes.  
    
    Cheryl, we missed you too,  but the house I was asking about wasn't the
    gate house (wasn't Stacey using that for an office?) I wanted to know
    about the house Stacey grew up in that she and Jack bought from her
    parents and then sold to Trisha and Trucker.
    
    I think this whole Jack business is strange too.  I would have thought
    that Stacey's mom Rose would have been flown up to help her daughter
    cope.
    
    /red

    
    does anyone have an update for yesterday?  i am very curious as to what
    else carly and ava talked about.  at first i was thinking that maybe
    now that everything is fine with her and paul that paul would somehow
    die and that would bring back carly but ... i don't think they would do
    that to her after flynn (how i miss him, big sigh).  anyways... i don't
    like ava's hair.  i think her hair is too oval and long to wear her
    hair like that.  
    
    i also still think that casey and ava will have a fling before alley
    realizes he is the one for her.
    
    so what is the deal with jack anyways?  i saw a preview that showed
    some cop coming to the house to tell stacy that he is dead and she
    didn't believe it.  how long ago was that?  it is too weird that she
    hasn't been doing anything, your right.
    
    where has dl been?  are her and clay back together?
    
    help!
    
    cj

    
    I will do an update for tomorrow, if I can have one today???
    
    Lou

    I did watch but I the only thing I can think of that was of some
    significance was....Trisha talked with Trucker and told him he can have
    the baby any time.  Giff told Casey that's he's really interested in
    Trisha and once the divorce is final he wants Trisha to move in with
    them.  Casey was a bit stunned by that.  Giff went out for food to make
    to celebrate and Trisha showed up and her and Casey were talking about
    Giff, I wasn't paying much attention then Giff burst through the door. 
    And was babbling on and on, then Trisha tells him that she wants to be
    alone tonight.  After she lives, Giff blast Casey for talking about him
    to Trisha and wanted to know if Casey told Trisha about Giff's
    "condition".  Casey said no, I promised I wouldn't, have you taken one
    yet today.  Then Giff goes over to a box and takes out some pills then
    he puts one in his mouth and takes a swig a soda and says, now are you
    happy.  Then Casey leaves to go for a walk and Giff spits the pill
    across the room.  My guess is that he's on Prozac or some other mood
    altering drug!
    
    Carly and Ava are okay.  Ava started telling her a whooper about her
    and Mr. Burnell, and then ended up telling her the truth.  It ended
    with a driver coming up and telling her that Mr Burnell was waiting in
    the driveway.  Ava, of course wanted to know if she had time to change.
    
    If there was more I don't really remember it.....
    
    /red

    
    Thanks Red!
    
    why is Mr. Burnell in the driveway?  is he taking Ava out?  if so Why?
    
    Do you think they will bring back another Paul?
    
    

    
    My VCR screwed up and I didn't get Loving...so I can't do an update.
    Sorry

    	I thought I would add this to reds update from Tuesday...
    
    	I only got to watch certain parts, but I did see the part where
    	Casey was talking to Trisha...he was telling her that since his
    	mother died, Giff has been in love before...and he's also been
    	married 3 times...
    
    	This came as a shock to me since they made him appear so different
    	when he first came on the show...I don't think I like the way they
    	are changing his character...I agree with red, my Monty feelings
    	are coming back too!
    
    	Alexis

    
    
    	Oh yea...I forgot!!  I'll be able to give an update!
    
    	I'll try and remember all that happened!!
    
    	Clay and DL are in Clays office and they are about to leave when
    	Gwen comes in...she said that she has something for him to sign.
    	He asked if it was a business contract and she said it was the
    	annullment papers.  He sat down and read the papers, then signed
    	them.  He asked DL to marry him that afternoon!  Gwen interrupted
    	and said that they have one more matter to take care of and that
    	was telling Isabelle.  Tim came in the office too and needed to
    	talk to Clay alone.  DL went to Pins and Gwen went to get the car
    	so they could go to the mansion.  Tim just basically said that it
    	was time to move on and he came to say goodbye...Clay was very
    	nice to him, but said that he had to go since he was going with
    	Gwen.
    
    	Later, we see them at the mansion about to tell Isabelle and that's
    	how it ended...
    
    	Ava and Casey are at Burnells and Ava is really starting to freak
    	out over this Leo Burnell thing!  She told Casey about how he sent
    	his driver to her house to give her a watch for doing such a good
    	job since sales were up 12%...there was an inscription, which said
    	To Burnell's Fashion Angel...
    
    	She knew that he had been listening to her and Casey's
    	conversations, and this whole thing was starting to get to her.
    	She told Casey that she will meet this guy one way or another...
    	Just then, she sees his driver and she freaks out...she grabs the
    	guy buy the jacket and tells him to bring her to his boss NOW!!!
    	Then she starts asking him all kinds of questions...what color
    	hair, what color eyes, does he have an innie or an outie? (the 
    	scene was pretty funny!) The driver didn't know what to think
    	about that question...he tried walking away and Ava jumped on his
    	back...Casey had to pull her off and calm her down...there were
    	people in the store all watching and Casey made up some story about
    	how they just witnessed Burnells performers.
    
    	Ava was talking to Casey after that and she told him that she
    	needs a man...he agreed and you could tell that he wanted to
    	volunteer himself, but he never did!  
    
    	There was a part with Shana and Stacy and Trucker all at the
    	gatehouse and Trucker heard something about his divorce from Shana
    	so he decided to go get a quickie divorce and he asked Stacy to
    	come with him (and bring the kids) for a little vacation.
    
    	I think that was about it!  But I just have a few comments...
    	I hope they make this driver a permanent character...he's kind
    	of cute...and the thought did go through my head that this 
    	might be Mr. Burnell!
    
    	Alexis

    
    I had the same thought...I also think it's Mr. Burnell!!
    
    isn't this custody thing backwards???  Dont you get a divorce first and
    then fight for custody or have the custody a part of the divorce?
    
    L

    
    Trish only has temporary custody. Another custody hearing will occur
    when the divorce is final. At least that is what I understood.
    
    Dennis

    
    Thanks for clearing that for me Dennis!  so you watch Lov to?  I though
    it was only GH.  Great to see you in here.

    I haven't watched GH for awhile... aI watch loving and AMC
    
    Your welcome

    For those of us wondering about the memorial service and Jack, that was
    yesterday, but it wasn't shown.  All we saw was everyone in black
    clothing.  Then Clay made the statement that that memorial services
    should be for people who have lived a whole life, not someone young, it
    just isn't supposed to happen like that.
    
    Alexis et al, my thoughts on the driver exactly!!
    
    /red

    Hi All!  I have been extremely busy since coming back from vacation
    this week.  I have managed to catch up on this note though.  
    
    I just have to make one comment regarding Giff. Although I hate them
    turning him into this madman on medication, the part about him being
    married three times is true.  I remember when he first came on the
    show, he was talking to Gwen.  They were old friends in the past and
    were joking about how many times each of them had been married.  This
    was at that banquet thing when Giff was first introduced.  I think
    Jeremy was there too.  Anyway, he was made out to be a swinging type
    guy with his last two marriages.  It was also made known that he only
    truely loved his first wife who died and that Casey was his only son.
    
    I remember thinking that when they made it look like he was only
    married once that they forgot that conversation he had with Gwen.  I
    was thinking, geez when they first introduced him, he bragged about his
    marriages and now they're making it sound like he's only had one true
    love.  So, it looks like the writers finally did their homework and
    confirmed the fact that Giff did have two more marriages.  
    
    I hope I'm not the only one who remembers this or you guys will think
    I'm crazy!!
    
    Thanks for all the updates you guys.  I haven't seen the show in a
    while.  I have a question though.  No one ever said  (or I missed it)
    what happend with Clay and Gwen on the boat?  The last thing I remember
    reading is Clay discovering Gwen and yelling at her to get off.  So,
    did anything happen?  How long did they look for Jack?  What made them
    give up?  Had Gwen finally accepted the fact that Clay doesn't want
    her??
    
    Thanks!!
    
    Linda
    
    P.S. One more comment....I don't like Ava's hair either, but I think
    they did it to make her look younger because of Casey. If they do have
    them have a fling, Ava has to be a little younger looking.  I hope they
    don't though and this driver guys is Burnell.  That would be great!

    Linda:
    
    I remember Giff saying that he had been married three times too.  It
    was when he and Gwyn were starting to become friends, before they
    became lovers.
    
    I have to agree, they really have him acting very strangely.  I still
    think they will have him as a manic-depressive.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Just a small addition to yesterday's update.  Both Casey and Ava
    had daydreams about lovers.  Casey had a daydream where Ally was
    on her knees begging him to love her and he was saying You bore
    me, Rescott!  Then Ava comes into his daydream and they end up on
    the floor kissing.  Then Ava comes walks into the area of Burnell's
    where Casey is standing and interrupts his daydream saying that she
    needs him!  which jolts him because he was just dreaming that, but
    she says she needs him to move some boxes.  Then, as he walks away
    she begins to daydream about Mr. Burnell, but the actor who was 
    portraying him wasn't the chauffeur - in fact, imho I pray they 
    don't use the actor in the daydream for Burnell because he had all
    the emotions of an artichoke.  Anyway, she dreams that he loves her
    and takes her and then she snaps out of that daydream, grabs Casey
    who is walking by with the boxes she asked him to move, and says
    "I've got an idea" and drags him out of the scene.
    
    Also, after Tim told Clay that he was leaving, and Clay told him if
    there's anything you need don't be afraid to call him, Tim said
    to himself something like "you've given me everything I could have
    asked for already" - very sad.   But, also, after Clay left the 
    office the parting shot of Tim was him with pain in his face as 
    though he might be having chest pains so the overheard confession
    scene should be today or Friday.
    
    Love all your updates and comments, everyone - glad I was able to
    contribute a tiny bit, yesterday was the 1st day in what seems like
    a decade that I was able to watch the show.
    
    --Sue
    

    
    Thanks Sue!
    
    Linda --> I to remember Giff being married 3 times!  I think Alyse was
    his first wife.
    
    Lou

Well, I saw the show and I must say it was pretty boring.

Ava & Casey:

Ava talked C into breaking the computers so Mr. B can not look at them any more 
through the cameras...C is upset about loosing his job and Ava tells him not
to worry, they are heros and they would not fire them.

Ava hits a button (trying to help) and she sets off an alarm.  They gaurds
come in w/ Guns drawn and Ava does a great shuffle and says "do you  know
who I am?  I am Ava REscott the store Mrg, your doing a fine job I'll
tell Mr B how quick you are"

So she gets out of being caught...Casey cant belive they got out of that one.

Just then a fax comes in and it's from Mr B to Ava..he has been watching
they whole thing and they fax says "Ava your so close, dont give up" Ava
is very mad and tosses the fax up at the camera.
--

Hanna & Cooper

Are restoring a building and they are very boaring..they are trying to wallpaper
and clean up and Cooper is fumbling everything...Hanna and him get kissing
a few times and Hanna falls on top of Cooper and they fight the urge.

--

Gwen & Clay

They tell Isabelle...she wont except it until Gwen convinces her it cant be
this way...just then a call comes in and Clay gets the call..its the hospital
they tell him Tim collapses and he wants Isabelle...Clay tells Isabelle and
she runs off....Clay and Gwen are puzzled.

Clay follows behind.

Belle is in w/ Tim (this woman cant act) and she is comforting Tim..they
admit there love for one another...and Tim tell Belle he is gald he meet
THERE sone Clay!  Clay heres this and he looks shocked!

The end.

    thanks for all the updates.  i just got back from vacation/honeymoon
    and am trying to catch up.  has anyone figured out what went on with
    selena and cooper?  
    
    also, did dl say that she would marry clay that afternoon?  no doubt it
    will be postponed because of the news he has heard.  i wonder if tim
    will die.. or if he will become clay's friend now.
    
    thanks again,

    Giff becomes enraged when he kisses Trisha and she calls him Trucker. 
    
    Still reeling from the discovery that he is not an Alden, Clay insists
    Isabelle tell him everything about the past.  Now that Clay has the
    facts, he chooses not to share them with Dinah Lee.
    
    Ava meets Mr. Burnell, and while they are having lunch, he tells Ava
    that they went to high school together.  It's obvious that Ava and Leo
    are infatuated with one another.
    
    Casey worries that Giff is obsessing over Trisha.
    
    Meanwhile, Trisha's lawyer, Armand Rosario, seems to be smitten with
    Gwyn.
    
    Stacey moves out of the mansion and back to her old home.
    
    Next:  Gwyn and Armand dig into Tim's past.  Casey keeps a close eye on
    Giff.

    UPDATE:
    
    Trucker is on an island w/ Stacy to get a quickie D-I-V-O-R-C-E.  he is
    in a hut/bar getting a beer and he is sitting next to some louser who
    as been divorced 5 times...this guy is obnoxious.  Stacy comes in and
    the louser is all hubba-hubba for her.  There is a McCaw parrot at the
    barn and Stacy puts it on her shoulder and is sitting at the bar w/
    Trucker and the louser.  The louser thinks they are together..T tells
    him they are not...the louser does not belive him..but tells him he
    will set him up w/ some chickies...Stacy tells the louser that they
    just meet and her boyfriend cant find out...the louser wants to kow
    what room the boyfriend is in...Stacy makes up a number of a room and
    off the louser goes to get the boyfriend off there back....
    
    Trcuker is having second thought about the dirvorce.
    
    Trisha is w/ Giff and she is having second thought also.  She is about
    to cry and Giff is talking into this divorce and he starts to kiss her
    and she kisses back.  (T was ready to pack and go to Trucker)
    
    Tim dies...(why did they do that)  Clay does'nt even know him yet.
    Clay confounts Belle about Tim.  Clay is very upset and cant belive his
    whole life has been a lie.  He never wants to talk to Belle again.
    
    That was about it..

    Giff is totally out of control with Tricia and he is making me
    sick!!!!!!!!!!!!  I wonder where his character is going to go
    to now that his disease is really showing.
    
    It seems as though he needs some real help that is for sure.
    
    Tricia is starting to show some real concern for Trucker which
    is nice to see.  She actually was thinking of someone other
    than herself for a switch.  She still is in love with Trucker,
    but it is going to take alot of soap time before they will end
    up back together.
    
    I thought I would let you guys know I am still here, but have
    been busy. *^)
    
    cj -->>  Welcome back I hope you had a great reception and 
    Honeymoon!!!!!!!!!! *^)  I am sure it was great.
    
    Linda -->>  I hope you had a nice vacation too!!!!!!!!!!!! *^)

    I will give a small sameday update for 8/10....
    
    Clay is not happy when he finds out about Tim and wants to know
    why he wasn't told about his father long ago.  Isabelle told him
    because she didn't want to ruin his life.
    
    Clay doesn't understand this a bit and then wants to know if
    Cabot knew he wasn't his son.  She tells him that he did know
    the truth about Tim. Clay is really upset.
    
    Tricia and Giff are kissing when she is alittle relunctant to
    contineu kissing.  He tells her that he loves her and he would
    not do anything to hurt her.  She still is afraid when he keeps
    telling her to relax and let go, while he tells her to touch
    him.
    
    She starts touching his face and she starts to kiss him when
    he says he will protect her and he takes her to bed.  When they
    start kissing she says Trucker and Giff is UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    He says what did you call me?!?!?!?!?!?!!?  Tricia looks a bit
    nervous as she says she has alot on her mind and didn't mean
    anything by it.
    
    Giff say who am I?!?!?!?!?!!  Tricia says that with the trial
    she has everyone on her mind.  The baby starts crying, so she
    goes to the baby and Giff sees a picture of Tricia and Trucker
    and puts his fist through the frame and obviously breaks it.
    
    Gwen is talking to Tricia's attorney and they are discussing
    how Giff was acting and the attorney found it peculiar. He
    said that everytime he saw Tricia Giff was right there by
    her.
    
    Gwen says that she doesn't want her daughter hurt and she was
    once hurt by him and she isn't going to let it happen.  He is
    showing some interest in Gwen and they both start to talk and
    she is showing some interest in him.
    
    That was about it.

    re:  12.2112

    Great updates you guys!

    Hi everyone.
    
    I have not seen loving since Monday and I dont think I will ge the time
    until Thrusday or Friday..so I can't do any updates..sorry.  I can't
    get over how Stacey is off on an island w/ Trucker when her Hubby is
    gone and feared dead!  This is not right!  Its like Jack never
    exsisted.  Can't the writers give us credit for having a brain!
    
    L

    i hate to keep bringing this up, but what happened to cooper and
    selena?  has anyone figured it out yet?
    
    is there an update for yesterday in here?  i didn't think i saw one and
    will put in a brief one...
    
    
    
    
    clay is freaking out at dl asking her if she loves "him".  she doesn't
    get it at first and then says that she doesn't love his family or his
    name but him.  he is in tears and they kiss and end up in bed.  he
    leaves after and goes to see his mother.
    
    clay tells isabelle that he is changing his name to clay sullivan,
    resigning as CEO and doesn't want to talk to her anymore.  she is very
    upset, obviously.
    
    hannah and cooper get stuck in an elevator and she is clastrophobic sp?
    and cooper gets her calmed down and they end up kissing passionately.
    the doors open up but they are kissing and don't get off.
    
    that is all i really remember.  i am sorry that there isn't much more.
    
    some interesting comments though ...
    
    if clay isn't an alden than neither is trisha or curtis.  this should
    be interesting if the writers make up forget.  trisha would have no
    claim to the alden name at all, as would curtis.  
    
    i am sure you all know by now, but jeremy is coming to loving
    permanently.  i think its great and can see some light shed to trisha
    and the others about giff.  i wish him and trisha would get together
    but don't see it happening.
    
    oh well, got to run, thanks for the updates and stuff!
    
    cj  

    
    CJ - that is great about Jermy!!  I can't wait..I guess he will take
    over for Giff when Giff loses his mind!  :-)
    
    If Isabelle dies in probate then Trisha would have no claim, but Cabot
    and Isabelle have mentioned them in there will..so I dont think they
    will have anything to worry about
    
    but your right..they are NOT Aldens! They are Sullivians!  I wonder how
    Trisha will take it?
    
    Thanks for the highlights
    
    Lou

    cj -->>  Let's see what happened between Selena and Cooper was
    Selena just let cooper "touch" her and when Cooper wanted her to
    spend the night with her the parents caught them together.
    
    Of course they thought the worst and they had her leave right
    away and Cooper always felt ashamed thought what happened was
    his fault.  They never really did anything, but he always 
    thought he did because his parents made such a big thing about
    it. 
    
    His parents thought the worst and wouldn't let Selena have any
    contact with Cooper.  Selena and Cooper both talked of how they
    wanted to be in contact with each other, but Selena was afraid
    and Cooper didn't know where to find her.
    
    Selena ended up convincing Cooper that he wasn't bad and he was
    a very good guy and he should go on with his life and start by
    reaching out to Hannah.  
    
    Hannah was there and they ended up leaving and saying how much
    they love each other and like being with each other.  
    
    Hope that helps you. *^)
    
    I am glad Jerm is coming to Loving because they need a few more
    "single" males to liven this show up.  Anything right now is 
    better than Giff with Tricia.  I sure hope Tricia and Jerm end
    up together.  They would really make a nice couple.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    Good update, cj, you just left out one small part....Leo Burnell showed
    himself to Ava and he is not the driver....
    
    /red

    that is right red! thanks for the reminder.
    
    leo lookes kinda cute but one thing that bothered me... if he is as
    young as he looked (mid 30's tops!) and went to school with ava how
    could that other guy that got fired be his nephew!  something just
    doesn't fit with that.
    
    i can't wait for jerm to be part of this show.  he will certainly perk
    things up.
    
    i also agree that stacy is not acting like the love of her life and
    husband died a very short time ago.  too unrealistic is right!
    
    also, one more ... did you notice that ava is styling her hair like she
    did before?  they shouldn't of cut it at all!  it looks pretty bad
    IMHO.
    
    cj
    

    Thanks for all the updates.  I haven't had time to watch the show in
    ages.  I'm dieing to see what this Burnell guy looks like!!  Oh, it is
    possible to have nephews and nieces at any age.  I  know a little girl
    who is 9 and her nephew is 6!!  Pretty wild for a 6 year old to call a
    9 year old, Auntie!  Now if he had been his son, that I would question...
    
    I'm very psyched for Jeremy to come to Loving!!  He hasn't been doing
    much on AMC lately anyway.  Giff needs to get the boot and Jeremy can
    be the new Art teacher at good ol' AU.  Wonder how they will explain
    Ceara though??  A few people from Loving went to their wedding so they
    are sure to ask how his wife is.  Maybe she'll have an accident in
    Europe and die.  Maybe Jeremy just won't become anyone's love
    interest??  I doubt that!
    
    I'm so glad Clay knows the truth.  Now he can marry DL and Mr. and Mrs.
    Sullivan can go riding off into the sunet.  (but I guess not since DL
    is supposed to go to AMC for a while)  Wonder if Tricia will keep her
    name McKenzie and not go back to Alden since she really isn't an Alden
    anyway?  Boy..does that get confusing!  
    
    Please keep up the great updates!!  It's the only way for me to keep up
    with what's going on in Corinth these days!!  
    
    Linda

    Oh, forgot to ask.......
    
    Could someone please expand on HOW Ava finally met Leo Burnell??
    
    Does she know they went to High School together?
    
    Thanks!!
    
    Linda

    ava met leo burnell when she went into the taping area of the store and
    really let him have it.  evidently, and i don't remember what was the
    straw that broke the back, but she quit and casey got all upset and
    went to the taping area to tell mr. burnell that if ava went, he went. 
    ava came in and told him to stop and he left.  she then said, "look
    what you have done to that "boy" and how can you stand yourself, etc.
    etc. etc."  she then said that she was going to wait till the end of
    the day to leave but she is "gone, gone, gone.. do you hear me, i'm
    gone" and went to leave when someone said, "ava.." and she asked who he
    was and his reply was "I'm leo Burnell".  she just stood there stunned.
    
    which this now bring me to another part of yesterdays show...
    
    for some reason, casey and alley bumped into eachother while they were
    working and casey was surprized that alley "was back" (i guess she was
    out because of the accident?  i dunno.. anyways) they exchanged insults
    to eachother and casey told alley that she should work for t.j.'s or
    burger world.  her comment to that was "you would have to pay me to
    work at burger world... their uniforms are polyester!" to which casey
    remarked, "but that is whole idea, they do pay you!" which i thought
    was just great.  these two work well together.  alley seems like a
    large framed women and casey is pretty big himself.  alley also seems
    to be looking more mature where ava is looking less mature as the days
    goes by.  she told him that she is into womens fashions and that is why
    she works there so what was his excuse.  he said that he liked his
    paycheck.  she also gave him a paper with things that they weren't to
    discuss and it was 10 lines with the same thing, "cooper alden".  casey
    teased her about chases him and asked where all the flowers were that
    he was sending.  she came back "well, he sent me flowers when i was in
    the hospital".  then, when casey came out from the taping room and
    yelling about ava leaving alley laid into casey about "him being in
    love with her aunt ava" and how could he think that her chasing cooper
    was bad with his feelings for ava.  he just stood there trying to deny
    it but his look didn't show much denying.
    
    wow, i've gone on for a bit, got to run, hope this helps!
    
    cj

    
    I'm 28 and my niece is 21.  Bazel could be a tad younger.
    
    L

    
    
    	cj...I too know some people who are actually younger than their
        nephews.  It can be possible for Leo to be Bazel's nephew if
    	Leo has a much older brother or sister.
    
    	Leo's not as cute as the driver, but he'll do!  (weren't you
    	disappointed red?)
    
    	I'm glad Clay is standing up to Isabelle like he is...she deserves
    	it!
    
    	Great updates...I think everything was covered!
    
    	Alexis

    My niece (Raven) is 17 months old and her nephew is 2 years old.
    
    I was thinking that maybe some tradegy would befall Ceara and Jeremy
    not being able to stand all the reminders of her moves from Pine Valley
    to Corinth.
    
    Linda --> where did you see that DL was going to be on AMC??? 

    /red -->>  In the AMC file I think it was Gallent that said that
    Dinah Lee would be on AMC regarding the case for Carter.
    
    I can't figure out what she can do and what she will have to 
    do with the case, interesting.
    
    I like Leo, but I did picture him to be older. *^)  IMHO Ava
    and him will make a good pair.  She needed a romance finally!!!!! *^)

    cj -->>  Alright I'll give a sameday update since you asked
    for it. *^)
    
    Update for 8/12.......
    
    Ava and Leo Burnell go to a restaurant where he has hired out
    to have the whole thing to themselves.  She is quite flattered
    as they sit down to eat.
    
    He has a bottle of champagne and he starts to make some comments
    about High School being 10 years ago and chemistry.  She says
    how much she hated chemistry and he tells her to start to eat
    while she listen to him.
    
    He starts giving her somewhat of a chemistry lesson when he
    sits back down and asked her how she passed chemistry.  She says
    she doesn't really remember and then she says some guy with
    glasses and dark hair that kindof looked like you and she
    stops and says no!!!!!  He says Ava his name was Leo!!!!!
    
    She is soooooooo shocked as she says how much he has changed.
    He says he got contacts, grew a few inches and went to Harvard.
    She is very shocked at this and is also impressed.  He says 
    he never forgot her as they get up to dance.
    
    The music to Endless Love is on and he says that was her 
    favorite song back in High School as he makes a comment that
    she knew all the words.  She is smiling and thinking back to
    those days and can't believe he remembers her.  He says do
    you remember the night of gratuation when I asked you to go
    out to the party.
    
    She says I really don't remember you asking me.  He says 
    well I did and you said you are busy for a decade.  She looked
    at him and started to smile and then said is this what this
    is all about you are trying to get back at me for doing that
    to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She says that's why you were torturing
    me at the store!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    She tells him some joke as she gets her jacket on and starts
    to run out when he says Ava I really did care about you and I
    have never forgot about you and how would you feel if you had
    a girl do this to you.  He is very disappointed as she left,
    but she comes back.
    
    She says she is sorry for what happened in High School, but 
    she was young.  He also apologizes to her for having her think
    that he was getting back at her.  He tells her that she was
    always the girl of his dreams and she is flattered as she says
    the girl of your dreams wow.
    
    They decide to still continue there date as they start to slow
    dance again.  That is the end.
    
    Clay and Isabele talk some more as he says he is not going to
    keep the Alden name he is using Sullivan.  She laughs at first
    and says he can't do that he is a Alden.  He says it is just a
    name and he isn't.
    
    She tells him that Tim would want it that way if he were alive
    and he wouldnt' want you to change your name.  Clay tells her
    that isn't fair what she said and don't tell him what Tom would
    have wanted!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Isabele tells him that it wasn't easy to make a decision like
    she did knowing that she loved Tim, but did it for Clay.  He
    said she did nothing for him and he wants nothing to do with
    her and he is living his life without what he thought was his
    family!!!!!!!!!
    
    Isabele tells him that Dinah Lee won't be around if she finds
    out he isn't a Alden.  Clay tells her she doesn't know what she
    is talking about and Dinah lee loves him for who he is and what
    he is.  She tells him not to tell her.  That is the end.
    
    Gwen had come in while they were talking and Clay had told her
    off and said he is not part of the family.  She isn't happy with
    the way he's acting, but she leaves the room after he says he
    doesn't want to be a part of the company and she can basically
    run it.
    
    That was about it.
    
    
    Tracey
    

    WOW, thanks for the same day tracy.  sounds like the family is going to
    be quite shocked.  
    
    upcoming news and today update comment...
    
    
    clay doesn't tell dl what is going on.  i wonder why.  she is going to
    be so upset.  she will probably tell him to take a hike and if he
    thought it would of made a difference then he doesn't really know her.
    
    i find the leo/ava thing pretty realistic actually.  its really
    possible that she didn't remember him.  ten years ago, hmm... that
    makes ava 27 which is also believeable.
    
    thanks red for updating me about cooper and selena.  i'm dissapointed. 
    they made it out to be so much more.  they also made him out to be
    playboy which totally jives with the other stories... 
    
    and last but not least... how come all t.v. shows have people hiring
    a whole restaurant for dates!  does anyone have any idea how much it
    costs to let go a whole night of business!!!!  also, you have to let
    most of the help go.  you would have to pay them anyways if you wanted
    to keep them around.  i certainly would be po'd if dec told me at the
    last minute that i didn't have to work but.. i wasn't going to be paid
    either.  i think its dumb.  he might have the money to do that but who
    says that all restaurants bend like that.  customers would be awfully
    upset!  flame off... :)
    
    well, almost that time.  thanks again,

    cj -->>  I'm upset you didn't like the help I gave you telling 
    you what happened with Selena and Cooper. *^) (just kidding)
    You are welcome for the samday update. *^)

    Hi guys:  I was the one who said that Dinah Lee would figure into the
    Galen/Carter story on AMC. The article said "Although ABC and LeClerc
    (Jerm) would provide no details, SPW has learned Jeremy will come to
    Corinth - and stay - as part of a crossover storline involving Loving's
    Dinah Lee and AMC's violently abusive Carter.

    
    Great info guys!  thanks!!!  I wonder how DL will get involved w/
    Galen..should be interesting!  
    
    OH NO!  I just had a thought!  AMC has this thing w/ RED and DARK hair!
    I bet they will try to get DL to color her beautiful lockes!!!!  I will
    personaliy go down to AMC and have it out w/ them if they do!
    
    Lou

    whoops, i didn't remember who exactly gave the info on selena and
    cooper.  sorry!
    
    thanks again for the updates.  looking forward to today's :) ...
    
    cj

    I will give a update on what I saw on yesterday's show.
    
    Update for 8/13 (partial probably)
    
    Tricia decides to get her hair done and get a total makeover for
    herself.  She cuts her hair (a few inches) and gets a makeover
    and a pedicure and is feeling pretty good.
    
    She goes to see Giff who is painting and he is surprised when
    he opens up the door and see how good she looks.  She says she
    felt like a change.  He comments on how good her eyes look and
    her whole self.
    
    She then looks at his painting and says how good it is and 
    says that she wanted to tell him that her divorce is final and
    she is upset about it.  She says it is going to take her awhile
    to get over it.  Giff tells her he is there for her.
    
    She says she has decided to take a job as an assistant at some
    painting gallery (probably the one Jerm will eventually be at)
    and Giff says right away how he will help her.  She tells him
    right away she wants to do it on her own.  He says that it
    shouldn't matter if he wants to help and there's nothing wrong
    with it.
    
    She says she wants to be independent and get her life back in
    order without anyone.  Giff thinks she is upset from what had
    happened the other night at her place.  He says he should not
    have tried to move that fast.  She tells him it has nothing
    to do with that.
    
    She says she needs to do this for herself.  She leaves and
    Giff is not happy as he says why does she keep pushing me away
    I need her and she needs me!!!!!!!!!!  He says she will learn
    that!!!!!!!!!!!  He is practically wanting to put a whole in
    his painting cause he isn't happy.
    
    The attorney of Tricia's goes to see Gwen and they end up 
    kissing each other in Gwens office.  She tells her secretary
    as they are lying on the desk to hold all calls as she does
    not want to be disturbed.  She is almost out of breath as
    he is kissing her neck.
    
    Trucker and Stacey get back from the Dominican and they are
    talking about what happened and Stacey gets a phone call.  She
    is upset when she hangs up and Trucker asks what happened and
    she says Tim Sullivan died.  She is upset about it.  That is 
    the end.
    
    No Ava and Leo. *^)

    Upcoming News:
    
    
    Trucker and Trisha cling to each other during Christopher's illness. 
    Once the baby recovers from his ear infection, Trisha asks Trucker to
    spend the night at her place, so they can both be near their son.  When
    Giff finds out, he assumes Trisha and Trucker slept together.
    
    Convinced Gwyn and Isabelle had something to do with Clay's decision to
    leave, Dinah Lee vows to make them pay!!
    
    Casey lashes out at Ally when she teases him about Ava.
    
    Giff's become to obsessed with Trisha that he tells Dinah Lee to go
    back to Trucker.  After Dinah Lee leaves, Giff gets the idea that the
    baby is the one thing keeping him and Trisha apart.
    
    Leo tells Ava that he loves her.
    
    Next:  Giff takes action.  Leo continues to charm Ava.

    comments...
    
    first of all, "our" alex is on some gap jean commercial.  he still
    looks great.  IMHO.
    
    now... comments on upcoming...
    
    
    
    
    i find this thing with giff boring boring boring.  its obvious that
    he will kidnap the baby and that will bring back together trucker and
    trisha.  as for dl, she will probably be the one to recognize giff's
    problem and save the baby, making her and trisha friends and finally,
    accepted for being clay's only true love.
    
    i also find it hard to believe that a man who knew ava ten years ago
    but never really "knew" her, will love her honestly.  he is probably
    obsessed too.  
    
    
    
    
    
    can remember anything else about the news but something that made it
    sound like clay was leaving.  i am sure its not permanently.  anyone
    have an update for friday?  thanks...
    
    cj

    I would also love an update from Friday!  I haven't been taping it
    lately because I'm being a great mother instead........I'm taping my
    two-year old daughter's favorite show on Channel 2......"Barney"  If she
    doesn't get to watch that show at least 5 times a day....she has a
    typical two-year old temper tantrum........(I have to admit, I like the
    show too!)
    
    Anyway,  I can't stand this Giff story line either! It is a repeat of
    the Jeff story all over again.  Find a new story folks!  We've already
    had the affair with mother first, obsessed with daughter next, gone
    over the edge kidnapping routine!  I used to like Giff too, but now he
    is such a weirdo.
    
    Hey, which Alex is on that commercial?  The first one...the cutie that
    was on Emergency?  Or the second one that was a shrimp and never could
    have passed as Clay Alden cuz he was half his size?
    
    Thanks for keeping me informed on Loving.  As soon as I've filled an
    entire tape of Barney (it's only a half hour show so it will take a
    little while), then I'll go back to taping my shows.  Not that I will
    be able to get any where near the VCR to be able to watch them!!  
    
    Linda

    its the first alex.
    
    

    
    I have not seen the show!  but I taped it today.  but I will be out of
    the office tomorrow!  I will try and get in from home and give you an
    update...if not..I'll give ya on on Wednesday.
    
    L

    Does anyone else watch Melrose Place???  I think that Leo kinda looks
    like Billy (the guy who lives with Allison).
    
    Quick update:
    
    HOSPITAL:  The baby goes into convulsion, Trisha is blaming herself,
    Trucker calms her down, Stacey compliments them for being there for
    each other, then leaves.  The baby's temperture is brought down and
    they discover it was cause by an ear infection, and they just want to
    keep the baby for a little while.
    
    TRISHA'S:  Trisha tells Trucker that she should call a nurse to help
    her keep an eye on the baby for the night.  Trucker agrees and while
    she is looking up the number (in a NYNEX phone book)  Trucker is
    talking to the baby telling him how much he loves him, and how he'll
    always be there and make everything all right for him.  Trisha was very
    moved and asked Trucker if he would like to stay with them tonight and
    take turns watching Christopher, Trucker said yes.
    
    AE :  Isabelle offers the mansion to Clay for his wedding with Dinah
    Lee.  She also ask if he's going to tell Dinah Lee.  He said he can't
    even look her in the eye.
    
    DINAH LEE'S:  She making wedding plans. Clay comes in and she shows him
    her wedding dress (bad luck) and tells him she made a list of justice
    of the peace, then she looks at Clay and wants to know what's wrong, he
    ends up telling her that he can't marry her.  Dinah Lee is devastated.
    
    HEALTH SPA:  Ava is getting a massage and she's rambling on and on
    about Leo to the masseuse (Ingrid?) then you see the hands switch and
    it's Leo. Then he leans forward and answers her in her ear and she
    jumps up and wants to know what he's doing in there and what these
    people would think, he said they probably wouldn't care seeing he pays
    their salaries.  Then he makes a pass at Ava and she accuses him of
    just wanting him to take her to bed, blah, blah, blah, I kinda stopped
    paying attention at this point.
    
    I think I hit on all the major parts....
    /red

    I'll give you a update for yesterday's 8/18.......
    
    Trucker spends the night and is sleeping on the couch.  In the
    morning she puts Christopher beside him and he wakes up and
    see him sitting there beside him.  Tricia says good morning
    and says he's doing better.
    
    She goes to reach her hand to Christopher and her hand and
    Truckers hands touch.  They both look at each other and you 
    could see the feelings but they just dropped it and said that
    they were glad that they could be there together for Christopher.
    
    Tricia went in the other room to change Christopher and when she
    did there was a knock at the door so Trucker gets up to answer
    it with his pants on, but with no shirt (what a babe) and it
    is Giff there.  Giff looks furious.  That is the end.
    
    Ava is sitting in the sun as Casey comes over and she says she
    has died and went to heavan.  Casey wants to know what happened
    to make her so happy.  She tells him the whole story with the
    restaurant and the shopping spree and the massage with Leo.
    
    Casey thinks the whole thing is ridiculous since not to long
    ago she was so mad at him because he was talking to her over
    speakers and looking at her through cameras.  Ava tells him
    that she likes him and Casey seems upset.
    
    Gwen sees her attorney friend and they are getting along.
    
    That's all I saw, if I missed anything please fill in. *^)
    
    
    Tracey
    

    thanks for putting in the updates.  i have a question...
    
    how come isabelle offered the mansion to clay and he even talked back
    to her?  the last i heard/read was that they weren't talking.  now, it
    seems as though clay has decided to keep everything a secret and
    forgave isabelle.
    
    any input?  thanks in advance,
    
    
    cj

RE: -2  Thanks for the update....

One thing you missed is Casey kissed Ava.  She tried to turn him down nicely
and told him that she likes him, but "not in that way" and that she wants to
be "friends".  He was bummed....

That Giff....what a weirdo....he thinks Trucker and Trisha slept together and
that she should have turned to Giff if she needed anything, not to Trucker.  
He then started picturing a painting of Trisha as her talking to him saying
that she loved him and not Trucker.  He was saying that's not true and was
getting upset when DL walks in.

Debbi

    Thanks, for the update Tracey....the Republican Convention ran over, so
    the news ran over and they only showed like the last five minutes of
    Loving....which was Giff talking to the painting and Dinah Lee saying
    who are you talking too...
    
    /red

    yes thanks tracy for the update.  are we getting one today?  this file
    has been real slow, in every soap too!
    
    does anyone think that they are going to have casey be the same way
    giff is with trisha?  maybe that will be the kicker for giff to jump
    out of this.  maybe not!
    
    so what happened between isabelle and clay, are they skeeming together?

    A few bits from today's 8/19......
    
    Dinah Lee goes to see Giff and says he isn't the same Giff she
    knows as he is acting very strange.  When she leaves he is looking
    at his painting of Trisha and saying no I'm not the same Giff saying
    what love does to him.
    
    Ally goes to talk to Casey and she wants to apologize to him and
    he can't believe it.  She says how bad she acted and he really
    doesn't want to listen to her.  They continue talking and he ends
    up leaving her as he was mad.  They were both suppose to be doing
    painting.
    
    When he leaves Ally gets her foot caught and is stuck on the
    stairway as she is screaming for Casey to come back!!!!!!!!!!!
    That is the end.
    
    The end is where a guy calls Gwen saying he is a friend of Rosaro's
    and he has the information she was looking for on Tim Sullivan.
    That is the end.
    
    Stacey goes to see Trucker and he is happy about Christopher being
    better.  When Trucker leaves the room she sees a picture of him
    and Trisha and she is thinking about JAck and she was getting 
    upset.  
    
    That's all I saw on today's someone will have to fill in the
    rest. *^)
    
    Tracey
    
             

    cj -->>  As far as Clay and Isabelle the last time I saw them Clay
    was furious with her and didn't want anything to do with her and
    I dont' think he has changed his mind about her.  If he did I
    would like to know what happened to, cause then I missed something.
    
    I know Isabelle was trying to convince Clay that if he married
    Dinah Lee and she found out she would never want him for who he
    is.  
    
    Tracey
    

    
    I hate what they have done to Giff.  What a weirdo!  and this think w/
    Clay not tellin DL is stupid!
    
    Did Tracye mention that a guy/theif came into Stacesy and took somting
    of Tims form her closet and then called Belle from her phone?  that was
    weird to...anyone know what he took or what he wants?
    
    L

    Gwen wants to know who Tim REALLY was, and what he meant to Isabelle
    so she asked Trisha's lawyer to recommend a good private eye.
    
    /red

update:

Casey comes back for Ally who has fallen throught the stairs.  Casey is 
tesing her about Cooper and giving her a hard time.  Casey finally goes to
help her out of the stairs when Cooper comes to the rescue and Ally starts
to play it up.  Casey was very upset.  Cooper is helping Ally and Ally 
starts to complaine about her ankle and Casey pushes Ally from behind
and Ally shoots him a look..(it was cute)  Cooper then picks up Ally and
takes her to the couch.  Just then Staige had come in and says something to
Ally about "hows the diet going"  meaing I thought Cooper was off your menu.

Casey goes over to patch the stairs when he see's what could be gold.  
Staige immediatly runs over and puts her hand in the stair and pulls out
a old ring w/ the same date on it that the locket had.  They are all
wondering how it got there and why?

Ally takes the ring and has a dream about her and Cooper..[[BORING]] and
she tries on the ring and it fits!  

--

Ava is at home w/ curlers in her hair and who comes a calling but Leo.  Ava
looks mortified.  Leo has been telling Kate and Louie about Ava in High
Scool.  They tell them that instead of having her name put on her HS shirt
she had her phone number!  Kate says "that's whey I never saw it to wash it"

Leo is going on and on about then and himself..Ava has not been given the time
to say a word.  Leo also was talking about investments and gives Louie a 
tip on a comany just starting up..called Gortron.  

Ava gets mad and she storms out and Leo follows.  Louie talks Kate into
investing in the company.

Leo and Ava on the stairs and they make up and Leo also wants to make up
for lost time.  He is picking up Ava in the morning and taking her somewhere.

--

Gwen is w/ Aramdo (I think this guy is a little cock roach..yuck)  they
had just when sliding between the sheets during lunch..and Gwen gets the
call from the theif and Aramdo books her and himself a flight to Tims
home town.  She wants to get to the bottom of this.

--

that's all I can remember.

Lou

    where exactely did they find the ring?  and what is this about a
    locket?  i assumed they were in kate's house.  wherever they are, 
    i can see a treasure of some sort being under the house or; i can 
    see this storyline tying into jj's box with the paper (if the writers
    haven't forgotten about that one completely) or; i can see if having
    something to do with isabelle and tim.
    
    i wonder what gwyn is going to do with the information when she finds
    out? its only a matter of time.  she is going to flip knowing that she
    was never even close to being a alden and now the children aren't
    either.
    
    i think the storyline with giff is totally stupid, but everyone already
    knows that and agrees with me! 
    
    thanks for the updates!
    
    cj

    
    CJ-->  The kids are renovating an old house for some charity work.
    They found a locket inside the fireplace w/ a date on it of 1866 or
    there about.  The weding ring had the same date on it.  The ring was
    found under/inside the stairs.  Ally fell throught the stairs and her
    foot was stuck in the step of the stair and when Casey went to patch up
    the stair he saw the ring inside the whole where Ally had fallen
    through.
    
    The locket had a pitcher of a man on one side and the other side was
    empty...usually they put a pitcher of your sweetheart on the other
    side.  The man didn't look like anyone..cept' General Lee.  A very turn
    of the centry man.
    
    Does this help?
    
    Lou

    Hi!
    
      I just wanted to add a couple of things since I'm FINALLY caught up
    on my tapes....
    
      ** The Guy that broke into Stacey's House must have been the private
    investigator that Gwen had Armand (is that tricia's lawyers name?)
    hire.  He was looking for proof that Tim Sullivan had been living there
    and not at the boarding house which had been listed on his AE
    application.  When He found a tag (or something) on a suit case (which
    probably was the old departure tag from the airport he left from ) in the
    closet he called Gwen to let her know that they were on the right track
    
    
      ** The house that the Cooper, Hannah, Staige, Casey and Ally are
    renovating is an old house that was used to House workers from the
    Mills or factories that were near by... Cooper mentioned something to
    the effect that his family owned a couple of them.
    
     This is just a comment or two...  (and only MHO), Giff is definately a
    turn off now but he's doing a great job acting as a person with a
    sickness that's turning his relationship with Tricia into an obsession. 
    I know this woman who when they finally caught on that she needed to be
    on medication for the rest of her life to keep her from going out of
    control (and she had no Idea she was even losing it when she was going
    downhill), was fine as long as she stayed on her medication.  After
    awhile she believed that the medication was just not necessary and
    would stop taking it....Soon the old problems would start to show up
    but by the time the family realized it she'd be out of it or just
    missing.  I truly feel bad for families trying to deal with someone
    they love and these types of frustrations that they can only try to
    control... (enough... I know... I've just learned that for as far
    fetched as many of these storylines can be they tend to have a ring of
    truth to them if you really think about it.)  Course I also read the
    paper and listen to my CD's while I'm watching them  ;^)
     
    Also... I know they repeat story lines but if you think about it many
    people in real life will repeat the same types of relationships over
    and over and never realize that there may be a connection or problem. 
    Until someone points it out to them or they figure it out..
    
     More thing I think that all of the new younger actors they they've
    brought into this show have really started to shine.  Ally and Casey
    work very well off of each other.  Hannah and Cooper have a special
    attraction that reminds me of two kids really falling in love for the
    first time.  And if I were Dinah Lee, I'd be crushed by now.
    
      Oh and who ever said that tricia's new lawyer bothers them (slime
    comes to mind but that may not be the exact wording  ;^)  I agree with
    them.
    
      and now for a question... does anyone know what happened to Arthur? 
    I was waiting for him to blossom into this prince but he just seemed to
    have disappeared.. Too bad I think they could have done alot more with
    his character...
    
      Well enough rambling.... (I bet y'all wished I'd get backed up on
    viewing my tapes again so that I'd keep my (humble), opinions to my
    self :^)
    
      Thanks to those who are gracious enough to take the time to do the
    updates....!
    
     Have a great weekend!!!
    
       Sue   

    
       blush ... one more thing I meant to put in about the House
    renovations... The date on the picture in the locket that fell out from
    behind the Mantle was 1906.  So when I mentioned "Housing the workers
    from the Factories" (or where ever) a date would have helped when
    trying to imaging the type, and condition of the house.
    
      One note... Does anyone remember that when Ally and Casey were
    sitting on the stairs  she mentioned the stain on the stairs like
    "what's that?"  and if I'm not mistaken Staige had mentioned the stain
    which was on the carpet before Casey had pulled the rug up.  I wonder
    if they are going to start some kind of murder mystery (history) type
    of storyline for the kids (young adults..) to be involved in.
    
      It may be interesting, I hope so... 
    
      Take Care!

    Sue -->>  Thanks for the fill-ins on the show.  Your comments were
    good.  I agree with you on the Giff storyline how it can ring true
    in real life.  That isn't a far fetched storyline and he makes you
    really not like him because he is believable.
    
    I also wonder what happened to Arthur now that you mentioned him.
    I like the kids storylines to, they have come along way but have
    proved to be going somewhere now.

    Sue - I had the same idea about the stain..like maybe it's blood?
    
    L

    On the show they mentioned that the stain might be oil....but blood and
    a murder mystery sounds good to me.

update:

Stacy is finaly feeing Jacks loss.  She is missing him very much.  She
even told Trucker that when she saw T&T together she was mad/jellous.  
She told Trucker he has been a good friend..maybe to good and it's time
she does some things one her own...

Giff goes to see Trisha w/ food and gifts for the baby.  She is not at home
so he sweet talks the owner or whoever to let him in becasue he is T's
finance'.  Giff gets in and he prepares lunch.

T gets home and she is shocked to see Giff standing there.  T is upset
and Giff says he has made lunch for her...T tells Giff they are just
friends and to go (in a nice way)  Giff agrees and goes.

He goes back to his loft and the pitcher of T comes alive and is talking to
him..(he is in a delusion)  He relized that the baby is allwasy going to
come between them and he must do something quick.

--

T&T are getting along nicely..Trucke stumbles over some words but picks
himself up and fixes everything.  Trishia tells Trucker that she told Giff
that they are only friends..Trucker is happy.



that all I can remember right now..

    Cheryl was not able to get the paper yesterday.  Unless someone beats me 
    to it, I'll enter the info tomorrow.  Cheryl is also busy with a report 
    and doesn't think she'll get in here until much later.

        Although Giff strikes out with the adoption agency, he does meet
    a couple that are so desperate to hae a child that they are willing
    to do anything, even if it is illegal.
    
    Ava agrees to marry Leo, but changes her mind once she discovers Leo
    wants her to quit her job and move to San Francisco to become a
    full-time wife.
    
    After Kate catches Isabelle berating Dihah Lee, Kate not only quits
    her job at Aldens, she tells Isabelle that she is no longer welcome at
    the boarding house!!
    
    Ally goes into a trance, convincing Cooper, Hanah, and Casey that the
    house on Maple Avenue is haunted!!
    
    Giff snatches Christopher from his carriage, and runs..
    
    Next: Trisha and Trucker panic - Leo begs for another chance.

update:

The other day Leo picked Ava up and took her to Chem' class at their
Hight School.  They were doing Lab work.  Becasue Leo never got to have
Ava as his partner.  

Leo ended up proposing to her and giving her a BIG ring.  Ava told Leo
she had to think about it,,and give her 24hrs.  He agreed.

Louie is fixing the plumbing (kinda) and Kate is reading that GROTON the
company Leo told them about just went up 5points and K&L are very very
happy!  Kate wants to invest more $$$$ - Louie says FINE!

Ava comes home and she goes right for the ice cream...she is troubled about
Leo's proposal...she tells K&L and Kate likes Leo, but she does not want
Ava to marry [[AGAIN]]

Leo comes to the door and tells Ava he could not wait...he is filling
Ava's head w/ "you wont want for anything, I'll take care of you" so
Ava says [[[YES]]]

---

T&T are w/Christoffer and they are having a good time...Trucker is about
to go home w/ Trisha stops him and tells him she is starting Chris' on
solid foods today and would he like to stay..he does.  They are feeding
him and we are suposed to belive that the baby is tossing his food all
over Trucker and Trisha and they are laughing and having a good time with
the baby.

Trucker gets ready to leave when they are done and T&T almost [[KISS]]
they are about to and Trucker says "do we want to do this" and Trsiha says
"I guess not"  ofcoarse Trucker could kick himself after!

They also talked about Giff being the god farther...Trucker was calm and
he agreed since Trisha asked him the day Chris' was born..Trucker wants
Stacey to be god mother and Trisha agrees!

--

Giff is at the adoption agency and trying to get the folks there to take
Chris' buy telling them that his sister had a baby that she does not want
and she is to upset to come here her self...they are telling that 'no can do'
Giff leaves upset and runs into a desprate woman who heard the whole story
and she wants the baby.  Because she can't adopt one for years down the road 
due to the waiting list.

Lou

    
      BOY I'll tell you, while watching Giff (change to such a sick person)
    I'd was thinking how much thought (and time?) should go into picking a
    Godparent... oooohhh It could be such a messy situation.  I have a
    couple of friends in situations that have turned sour,  Hmmm what do
    you do?
    
     Comments:
       When Giff was standing there and Tricia came home with
    Chris, she seemed more annoyed than anything else.. I would have been
    rippin, not to mention slapping the Manager upside the head for not
    sticking to the "house rules".
    
     ** deep down... and I'm sure y'all may not agree with me but I hope
    t&t get back together.  They have a special chemistry on screen that
    doesn't feel forced...
    
      Now this thing with Ava and Leo... talk about most womens fantasy...
    Your heart gets broken and stepped on and a Good-looking-rich-guy comes
    along (this one's just short of a white horse) and not only sweeps her
    off her feet with Romance, Love, good food and Jewels but wants to get
    married after a couple of weeks..... Paul who?   ;^)   Lisa P. must be
    enjoying this storyline.
    
      Also after all of the faking that Ally's been doing with her illness
    I wonder if they're going to believe her when she goes into this
    "trance" ?  *** I wonder if there is a body under the stairs where the
    ring was found? hhmmmmm
    
    
      Later dudettes,
    
        Sue

    
    Great thought Sue!  I want T&T back together toooo!  :-)
    
    Update:
    
    Ava is showing everyone her ring at Kate's and Kate is upset she is
    getting married so fast.  Ally is drooling over the ring.  Casey comes
    in to get Ally so they can go work at the old house and he see's all
    the happy faces and he over hears that Ava is marring Leo..Casey if
    very mad and is trying to talk Ava out of it..Ally steps in and she
    gets Casey to leave w/ her..Ava feels bad.
    
    Belive it or not Ally was very nice to Casey about the whole thing.
    so off they go to the house.
    
    Cooper and Hanna are inside and Cooper wants to show Hanna the ring
    for a second H thinks C is proposing to her..she finds out differently
    and she feels like a fool..but C puts he at ease and they are kissing.
    
    Just then A&C walk in on them...A see's then and she looks a bit upset.
    Cooper tells H that it will be okay that A is working there becasue C
    told A that he loves H!!!  They are kissing more and A is looking on
    while Casey is trying ot get the wallpapper off the wall when the
    lights go out!
    
    They light some candles and then they want to leave to go and get
    something to eat...(ya..I allwasy light candles and leave them alone to
    burn down my house)  before they can leave they all here scarry moaning
    like a ghostly sound...they are all scared!
    
    Ava enters a part of Bernells store and she see's a beautifl bed room,
    something out of better homes and garden book..she makes the comment
    that she didn't get a memo on  this change!!
    
    Leo comes in w/ white roses and chanpage.  He ask Ava if it looks
    familer...she doesnt think so!  He ask her if she remembers loosing her
    chem' book..she said yes...she had to make up all the work.
    
    Leo confesses he stole it becasue she use to draw her weding day in it
    and it included this bedroom..he shows her the book..atfirst she is mad
    he stole her book..but as she looks at the pages and looks around..Leo
    had copied her dream completely!  Ava gets all tearie eyed and happy
    (Lisa did a great job at this scean)
    
    they start to kiss heavely...Ava steps back and takes off her dress and
    we see her in a black teaddy.  She motions her finger pointing at Leo's
    shirt...Leo takes it off...they draw close and start to get hot..Leo
    picks us Ava and puts her on the bed and they are ready to make love!
    
    Lou

    Thanks so much for all the updates.  I haven't been able to watch the
    show in so long!  I still haven't seen what this Leo guy looks like.  I
    do have to tell you that I don't trust him and I can't believe Ava is
    marrying him so fast (I bet the wedding doesn't happen though).  It
    just gives me the creeps that he has held a torch for her for so long. 
    I thought it was weird how he made her go to the chemistry class with
    him.  I don't know, maybe it's me, but it gives me the creeps.  All I
    know is what I'm reading here cuz I haven't seen it so I could be
    totally off. 
    
    But when I was in High School, there was a guy like that and it drove
    me nuts.  He used to leave carnations in my locker and I found out he
    stole my resume from my English classroom.  We had to do a resume as an
    assignment and we used to keep a folder in the room with all our
    assignments in them.  He went through my folder and took my resume!  I
    was soooooo p*ssed at him.  It gave me the creeps that he went through
    my personal things.  Of course, he wasn't at all cute and not rich
    either, so that is different from Leo!
    
    It does make a good storyline though and it will be interesting to see
    what happens.  I also like this old house storyline.  I hope some good
    things come from it!  Whoever mentioned that murder story, I liked it! 
    Sounds good to me.  I hope the writers can be that creative!
    
    Keep up the good updates!  I'm reading them and appreciate them a lot!
    
    Linda

    
    Linda-->  how romantic about the carnations!  but I know what you mean
    about the "creeps"  I would not like that either.
    
    Leo is very cute IMHO!  His hair is kind of salt&pepper looking, but
    it makes him look very sofisciated!  He has a preppy look to him. he
    is not a drop dead hunk..but there is something about him.
    
    Lou 

    I like Leo to, but it is kindof strange how it all happened and
    so fast.  He does seem to really love her, but I guess in the
    soap opera land nothing turns out perfect.  Should I say nothing
    lasts forever. *^)
    
    He is however, IMHO cute.  He isn't a Trucker to me but he has
    a certain charm to him that I like.  I hope he turns out to be
    a good guy for Ava if she stays with him.  I can't see her going
    through with marrying him, but we'll see. *^)
    
    Speaking of Trucker I wish that he and Trisha would get back
    together too.  They really do belong together and it is a shame
    that the feelings are there between them, but they just won't
    give in!!!!!!!!!
    
    That must be a awful situation for both of them to know that
    they really do care for each other and have a son, but don't
    want to let themselves do anything about it.  I am sure it is
    just a matter of time for them and hopefully it will last for
    them as a family.
    
    Where did Clay go to anyways, they haven't showed him.  I am
    sure he is coming back.
    
    Isabelle sure told Dinah Lee off and IMHO was way out of line
    with her.  When Isabelle slapped Dinah Lee's face I was waiting
    for Dinah Lee to slap hers, she would have deserved it, but she
    didn't do it.  I wish she would have. *^)
    
    Dinah Lee sure has not had much luck she really needs someone
    good in her life cause she really has tried to change for the
    good and has come along way.  I hope they do find someone for
    her and soon.
    
    Hannah and Cooper are cute together to IMHO (again) I really
    felt that Hannah felt not only stupid, but disappointed that
    the ring that Cooper showed her wasn't an engagement ring for
    her.  Those two would be good together, but then again they are
    a bit young, so it won't last.
    
    The haunted house storyline is pretty good and I hope to that it
    turns into a murder mystery I am really starting to think having
    the young adult stories are adding alot.
    
    What do you guys think will Casey and Ally get together eventually
    or not?!?!?!?!?  I believe they will because Ally sure has come
    along way with him and he really knows how to put her in her place
    when needed. *^)

    Lou....romantic???  NOT!  That guy totally gave me the creeps.  I ended
    up going to the prom with him and that was a big mistake.  He was
    really weird.  He did finally get the hint that I didn't like him since
    I spent most of the prom in the ladies room hanging out with my friends
    who didn't like their dates!  What a night!
    
    Thanks for the description of Leo.  Like I said, I haven't seen the
    show so I'm sure you guys are seeing a lot that I'm not.  It reminds me
    of my situation, so that's why it makes me feel like it's creepy.  But
    if he doesn't give Ava the creeps, then that's great!  I hope something
    comes of it.
    
    Hey, what ever happened with Carley coming back?  She told Ava that her
    and Paul got married and then what happened?  Did Kate and Louie see
    her?  Did they all congratulate her?  Did Ava take it OK?  Did she
    mention Michael?  She went back to them, right? questions....questions...
    
    I hope T&T get back together too.  Get this weirdo Giff storyline
    overwith already.  I'm glad he's just kidnapping the baby and not
    trying to kill it....that would be awful.
    
    Back to work.  Thanks again for the info........I'll be waiting for the
    answers on the Carley situation...........
    
    Linda

    Linda --> Do you watch Melrose Place????  Leo and the guy on MP, Billy
    look alot alike.  I think he's cute, but him and Ava bore me.  It's
    weird the way they keep talking about high school, but they never
    mention how hooked Ava was on Jack.  Ava was obsessed with Jack and I
    don't remember her being all that popular with everyone else in school.
