    wow, can you believe it???  cj is back.  i have a new job (well its
    almost six months old now) but its been so hectic trying to learn
    everything -- total change if you know what i mean. but, i finally have
    some time to catch up and can't believe all the stuff in this file.  i
    still watch OLTL and admit, alot of it i FF through but i'm hoping
    things will get better with the new max back and all.  i missed him
    more than i thought i did (although sometimes i think he needs an
    acting lesson or two) and still miss jake.  i don't get to watch 1/2 
    as much as i used to so i need some help.  
    
    i can offer an update for tommorrow however,because i am taping today.  
    anyways.. the questions are:
    
    1.  is there any truth that a new gabs will be coming on?
    
    2.  what is lupus that megan is going to have?  is she going to die in
        it?
    
    3.  if there is going to be a death and clint, megan and cord are all
        leaving the show next month who is it going to be? and why do you                  
        think that person is the one?
    
    4.  do you think that they will show jake at all during this thing in
        japan?
    
    
    so i guess most of you don't like leanne eh?  i liked her as ryan on RH
    but can't get used to her being with max as i think the age difference
    is a bit too much.  with her being with him at first it was o.k. but
    then there was kevin who should be about 12 years younger than max and
    jason has a crush on leanne too and he isn't over 21 yet either, is he? 
    i think it will be funny to watch him with dorian.  remember the old
    dorian?  i miss her too.  as far as the cassie and bo story, i'm still
    waiting for sarah to come back.  i don't like the two of them together
    at all.  
    
    well, i guess that is it.  i still remember a soap mag saying that
    carlo was going to have some family come to town and that skye from amc
    was one of them.  wouldn't that be something?
    
    cj
    

    Hi CJ! nice to have you back!!!
    
    I can't answer all the questions, but I'll try a few...
    
    On of my previous managers had Lupus and it was the most severe kind. 
    In her case it made her disoriented, bad headaches, her extremities
    would get numb and she would literly bounce off the walls when an
    "attack" came on.  It was like she had no idea where she was or who she
    was.  I found out (in working with her for a few years) that there is
    no cure and you are basically a guinea pig to the different
    tests/medicines.  Anyway, she did tell me that it is fatal (the kind
    she had), but it's not like they give you 6 months.  I think you can
    live for years and years with it.  There are other kinds of less severe
    lupus that are in a rash form (butterfly rash on the face).  I also
    know that effects mostly women (late 20's early 30's).
    
    I don't like Bo and Cassie together either.
    
    I can't remember your other questions, sorry!  I'll go back and read
    them and if I have any answers I'll put them in.
    
    See ya.
    

    In this issue of SOD there is a piece about John Loprieno's exit from
    OLTL in the Goings section.  
    
    It says "Although Loprieno's contract isn't up unitl December, sources
    tell us the actor will make a much earlier exit.  OLTL is anxious to
    wrap up Cord's storyline and free co-star Karen Witter (Tina) for new
    story horizons.  Be prepared for a dramatic conclusion to the Cord/Tina
    situation."

    Any updates????
    
    Thel-thanks for the info on Cord.
    
    
    Thanks,
    
    Cathy
    

    re. -1
    
    Dorian hasn't slept with Jason yet, has she??? I'm sorry, but I do not
    find him to be the least bit attractive!!!! 
    
    Thanks.
    Joyce
    

    
    Dorian is going to sleep with Jason?!?!?!?!?!?!? Is she that
    desperate?!?!?!? I mean he's just a kid!
    
    Patty

    I think its funny how Cord has this big fight and he gets his face cut
    wide open with a knife, and the next day it's all gone..... No scar....
    
    I know, its "Soapland".
    
    Just talking out loud...
    Lynne

Because of all the high winds we've been having here in the Seattle area,
the power keeps going off at my house and messing up the VCR.  Consequently
I have not been able to watch OLTL all week.  Could some kind soul please
enter an undate for the past two days?  Thanks!

    I guess the writers heard me talk out loud, Because yesterday Cord had
    a scar on his face from the knife cut....

From the TV Guide this week:


Jessica Tuck, OLTL's most popular leading lady, will take a powder from the ABC
soap when her contract expires in January-but executive producer Linda Gottlieb 
isn't worried about losing viewers.  In fact, she's planning to gain some.  

During what Gottlieb terms "Scheherazade Week" (scheduled to air Feb. 3-7),
such longtime Llanview denizens as Viki, Clint, Asa, and Bo will attempt to
pull Megan (Tuck's lupus-stricken character) out of a coma by recalling
important stories in OLTL history.  Chock-full of flashbacks, the week will be
promoted a both a hanky-wringer for loyal fans and a crash course for potential
new viewers who might otherwise be reluctant to check out a complicated 23-year
soap.  Expect visits from former favorites Gerald Anthony(Marco), Joe Lando
(Jake) and maybe, if Gottlieb get her wish, Judith Light (who won two Emmys as
Karen Wolek).  Will Meghan kick the bucket?  Not if the irreplaceable Tuck has
an 11th-hour change of heart.  "Right now," says Gottlieb, "we're keeping our
options open.  You can always save somebody at the last minute."

    Does anyone have an update for this week?!!
    
    Thanks in advance!!
    
    

    sorry, i do not have an update as my monday tape is still unwound and
    in the vcr.  however, i can tell you that i caught about the last 10
    minutes of the show on wednesday and dorian was asking vicky for help
    with cassie.  vicki was her usual -- telling dorian that she had no
    right to abuse her because her daughter is deathly sick, her house just
    burned and now her husband has been shot.  she left dorian just
    standing there sulking.
    
    and megan is in the hospital.  she was talking to some man that i had
    no idea who he was.  
    
    jake (yes, that hunk of a man came back for this part) was in a jail
    with his ribs bandaged up.  he was asking the guard that stands in his
    room if he could use the bathroom and the guy said no.  he jumped on
    the bed mumbling something about going in his bed and cord and blair
    came in.  they had their heads down and just kinda waved to the guard
    and walked over to jake's bed.  he asked who they were, and if they
    were american's.  cord lifts up his hat (blair was trying not to laugh 
    in this scene which irked me) and jake noticed it was cord. he had his
    scratch on his face and the scene ended there.  
    
    hope this helps.. sorry its not more.  

    if Clint is goint to be part of the Feb sweeps, does that means he
    is not leaving the Soap?

    Middlsex News:
    
    Megan has Lupus, but Larry assures Viki that it is controllable.  
    
    Cord, Jake and Blair come up with a plan to hoodwink the General, but
    during the confusion, Cord is shot and falls off the dock and into the
    river.
    
    Keven's back home and he's devastated to discover Lee Ann and Max are a
    couple.
    
    Tina has a premonition that something terrible has happened to Cord.
    
    Cassie is walking down the aisle to meet Bo when she is so overcome
    with guild for not inviting Dorian that she does an about face.
    
    Luna faces that fact that she is in love with Max.
    
    Hasim comforts Blair.
    
    NEXT:  Alex is about to make her move.  Blair refuses to give up on
    Cord.

    Also, according to the TV Guide, there are no ABC soaps on Thursday at
    all here on the East coast.   The only one that's on Friday is AMC,
    starting at 12:30 instead of 1:00.  College Football pre-empts the
    soaps on Channels 5,9, and 12 on both days.
    
    Don't forget to set those VCRs accordingly on Friday from 12:30 to 1:30
    for AMC!!!
    
    Cheryl
    

    While Cord, Jake & blair are waiting for Hasseim, they start to have
    doubts about his loyalty to help them.  Then there is a call for Cord. 
    Cord answers the phone.  It is hasseim.  He tells them to meet him in
    30 min. someplace.  You then see that "bad guy"  holding a gun to
    Hasseim.  
    
    When the three go to meet Hasseim they are trapped.  That was how it
    ended.
    
    Meagan gets to go home to llanview with Andrew promising Larry she'll
    get plenty of rest.  Cassie, Tina and Meagan are talking about the
    Wedding.  Andrew is just hanging out with them.  
    
    Marie I think you're right about Andrew liking Meagan.
    
    In walks Dorian.  I really felt for her.  She asked Cassie if she would
    wear Dorian's wedding dress.  Cassie said She wouldn't and that Dorian
    wasn't even to be invited to the wedding.  Dorian left.
    
    Meagan and Tina go to take naps.  Tina has a dream that was a remake of
    an old movie.  Nazi era.  Cord is in love with Blair and asks Tina to
    get them out of the country.  Tina says she'll get Blair out but not
    Cord.  I think that's how the dream ended.
    
    Cassie talks with Andrew.  She asks him if she's been to hard on her
    mother.  He says he believes Dorian.
    
    Renee & Leanne talk.  Leanne wants renee to convince asa to produce the
    deed.  In the conversation leanne mentions the letter from Wingate
    stating that he would never give over the mineral rights to Asa.
    
    Leanne leaves and in walks Asa.  Renee questions Asa about the letter. 
    Asa in his smug way say " Did you see the letter"  Renee says no.  Asa
    is off to find Leanne.  
    
    Luna is at the bar with Wanda and Luna is going through a basket of
    teas she received as a gift.  The gift didn't have a sender's name.
    Wanda suggests a former boyfriend and Luna says she would have married
    any boyfriend that would care enough to send this kind of gift.  
    
    In walks Max.  He sent the Teas as a thank you for Luna find Wingates
    letter.  
    
    In the meantime at the bar comes Jason to buy a lotter scratch ticket. 
    Luna picks out on for Jason and one for Max.  Jason won $5.00.  Max won
    $50.   In comes leanne.  Max asks to use her room to change befor they
    go out.
    
    Asa walks in and tries to get leanne to give him the letter or to move
    out of town with Max.  Max is listening in on the conversation.  Leanne
    really laid it into Asa and told him max was going to win.
    
    IMO The show seems to be picking up.  I hope they bring Marco back -not
    just in flashback.  I can't believe they think Meagan's a leading lady
    in this show.  I wish they weren't going to kill cord off.  I can't see
    tina with anyone else.  If it was the old tina -maybe Max.  
    
    Glad to be back
    doreen

    tina and Max were lovers at one time, but it didn't work because

    The ticket agent questions her about the "we" and she responds

    ( no clue as to who the other person is).
    
    Asa, Clint and the two reporters are having a little party

    the ending was pretty good.  tina is locking up llanfair. there's a
    thunderstorm going on. as she is locking the garden doors, she's
    yelling out as if someone is there.  earlier we saw a woman walking
    thru some yard (probably alex at llanfair). well, tina yells out -
    "who's there??"  then she sees cord! i couldn't tell if the apparition
    that she saw had a bloody shirt. but anyway, tina starts to scream that
    something has happened to cord.

    Upcoming News:
    
    Cassie stops the wedding only long enough to reconcile with Dorian. 
    But as soon as Bo and Cassie tie the knot, Alex lures Bo on to the
    terrace where he finds
    
    				SARAH!!!!!
    
    When Sarah realizes Bo's just been married, she runs off.  Bo runs
    after her, leaving Cassie to spend their wedding night alone.
    
    After sharing an emotional reunion with Megan, Sarah explains what's
    been happening to her.
    
    The judge is about to dismiss Max's case against Asa until Nigel
    appears with the missing deed.  Max is thrilled, but Asa is so angry he
    fires Nigel. 
    
    Vicki's surprised when Megan and Sarah's father, Roger arrives in town.
    
    Blair returns with some bad news for Tina.
    
    Cassie decides to move in with Dorian when Bo tells her he needs some
    time to sort out his feelings.
    
    NEXT:  Cassie plays the waiting game.  Tina prays for a miracle.
    

    I can't believe this upcoming news. I'm so glad I taped todays show...
    it should be good.

    
    The new Sarah is going to be played by Grace Phillips. Sarah was being
    held prisoner all this time. Alex breaks her out, overcoming her
    captors. The entire story will be unfolded during December, but the
    Bo/Cassie/Sarah triangle will go on for months.

    
    On December 18th for the shows 6,000 episode, the show asked Ivana
    Trump to be on the show. She will be playing her self, she will be a
    hostess of an Atlantic City casino called Ivana's. She will be in three
    or four scenes.

    Did anyone see Friday's show?  There was a football game on ABC here in
    Mass, so I was wondering if this upcoming news about Sarah has already
    happened???
    
    Now... if this happened in REAL LIFE... would Cassie and Bo's marriage
    even be legal.  I would think they wouldn't even have to get a
    divorce/annulment, because it really isn't legal?  I'm probably wrong,
    but I'm just guessing.  Any insight????  I guess if Sarah was declared
    dead then their marriage is the one that is no longer. I just hope he
    chooses Sarah over whiney Cassie.
    
    I really hope they don't drag this on, but I'm sure they will...
    
    Thanks.
    Joyce

    I have not watched this show in ages but I was home yesterday and they
    were showing CJ and Al.  I thought Al was the older of the two, but now
    that Bonnie and I are discussing it, I can't remember if Tina gave
    birth before Gabrielle.  Which child is older?????
    
    /red

    hi all!  red, i hope you do an update, or at least tell us if sarah was
    on yesterday!  she will not be our old sarah as she is on some other
    soap.  i wonder what she will look like.   something else for cassie to
    whine about.  i used to like the character but now i do not.  
    anyways...  i thought that gabs gave birth first because tina helped
    her through it.  remember?  and then tina had her baby with the
    indians, or whatever the people in the jungle were that captured cj.  i
    could be wrong. does anyone know for sure?
    
    i wonder if this new storyline is going to keep alex on the show now. 
    i can see sarah thinking that she is great because she saved her and
    for some reason alex getting pardoned and them teaming up together
    because they are upset at bo and cassie.  any thought?  
    
    sure sounds like the soap could be getting better though.  
    
    any updates?
    
    thanks in advance,
    
    cj
     

    Tina had her baby first, I can't remember if they told her the baby
    died or what but she had already had the baby when she delivered Gabs
    baby.  That was why she took Al back to Lanview with her, to fool Cord
    into thinking it was his baby.  Did she maybe think she had lost the
    baby when she went over the waterfall?
    
    RP

    
    I just talked to a friend who's watching oltl.  I'll put this behind
    a form feeder.
    
    
    
    Sarah's back...........................  I haven't been reading in
    here for a while, I didn't know she was really coming back.  I thought
    Alex was just trying to make Bo think she was alive.  
    
    

    
    Well I just read back a few notes and I guess everyone but me knew that
    Sarah was coming back.  I was home sick yesterday and got to watch for
    the first time in ages.  I can't stand Cassie, she reminds me Dorothy
    in the Wizard of OZ.  Does anyone else think she talks like her???
    
    KC
    

    KC, What a good opinion!  I've been trying to figure out who Cassie 
    reminded me of and you've hit the nail on the head.....Dorothy, of
    course!
    
    I don't watch the show unless home sick so I have mainly seen her in
    commercials....seems a little wild-eyed to me.

    I CAN'T WAIT!!! does anyone have an update?
    
    much thanks,
    
    cj
    

    I knew Cassie looked familiar...now I know, it's Dorothy.

    I had this in vtx, so I guess two updates are better then none....
    
Let's see what I can remember.....I taped and watched for the 
first time in years.

Bo runs outside, right by Cassie and see Sarah (who in my 
opinion is not a bad replacement for the original).  Olivia 
(not her name on this show, was on GH) came and stood next to 
Sarah and said "see Bo, here's Sarah, I brought her back to 
you."  Then Bo and Sarah hug and Cassie finally makes her way 
outside and is devastated by the whole thing.  Then Sarah sees 
the wedding band on Bo's hand and realizes this is his wedding 
and she goes running off.  Bo goes chasing past her, again 
right by Cassie.  


Asa and Renee have words, not sure what that was all about, 
but Asa did tell Renee he'd find his own way home.


Megan and Sarah have a quick reunion.  Everyone is shocked and 
happy to see Sarah.

Cassie goes looking for Bo.  Bo meanwhile comes back in and 
Dorian blasts him for not caring about Cassie's feelings.  So 
he goes to look for Cassie and is told that she left the house 
looking for him.

Kevin and Ryan (not the name on this show, but was on RH) have 
words.  Kevin is talking about how much things can change when 
someone shows up from their past (meaning Max).  Ryan tells 
Kevin what they had is over, he wants to know what they had.  
Max comes out and interrrupts.  Viki comes out and wants Kevin 
to help with the guest and the search party for damn, I stilll 
can't think of her name - Olivia.

Cassie is up in a bedroom and Olivia comes and locks her in 
and tells her how she planned this whole thing.  That if she 
(Olivia) can't have Bo then neither could Cassie.  She also 
explained to Cassie how Dorian was just an ignorant pawn in 
her whole scheme.

Cassie did try to break free at one point and she and Alex 
(yeah, that's her name, and Ryan is Lee Ann, I'm all set now) 
get into an knock down drag out fight.  Alex gives Cassie on 
good punch in the face.  All in all it was a good fight.  And 
even though most of you hate this new Cassie, I thought she 
did a good job making the tears flow in the right places.

The family is all standing around (those not searching for 
Olivia) talking about Sarah's return  and Dorian can not stand 
it anymore and blasts them all for their insensativity.

Bo and the police break into the room where Alex and Cassie 
are and take Alex into custody.  Bo then asks Cassie if she's 
alright.  She replys no and gathers her dress about her and 
makes her way down stairs.  She meets up with Dorian and she 
tells Dorian that Alex told her the truth and that she's sorry 
for misjudging her and would she please forgive her.  Dorian 
said that was over with and what could she do for her now.  
Cassie told her she needed help looking dignified in a 
stressful situation.  Then Dorian asked her what Bo was going 
to do, but Cassie just stood there wondering, what she meant 
and Dorian told her, Bo and you are married, what is Bo going 
to do.


Viki and Megan are at Megan's and Sarah shows up there.  When 
she realizes that Bo may still be out there looking for her 
and may figure out that she's at Megan's she gets a bizarre 
look on her face.


Then you see Bo sitting in the bedroom upstairs and Clint 
comes in and asks him what he's going to do.  Clint tells Bo 
Cassie is waiting downstairs and that Bo holds the tickets and 
Bo is looking blank, and Clint says, you have ticket for 
Hawaii in your pocket.  Bo continues to look blank and the 
show ended.

    I must say this soap get the award for having the most people travel at
    lightening speed.  It kills me on other soaps (Loving and All My
    Children) when it only takes seconds to get somewhere, but on this
    show, they literally walk out one door and have arrived at their
    destination, no commercials or anything.
    
    I did watch OLTL yesterday, but don't have much of an update....
    
    Bo came over to Megan's.  Sarah told, Bo, Megan and Viki the whole
    story about being captive and how she longed for Bo to come save her. 
    This took most of the show.  When she wrapped up her story, Megan and
    Viki left the room.  Sarah asked Bo if he loved Cassie, he said yes he
    did.  Then Bo said that a part of him always loved her and that they
    should all take some time to think and sort through all of this.  
    Max and Asa went to court.  Max's lawyer gave the judge the letter from
    Max's father.  Asa said that he did not have the deed in his possesion,
    the judge called a recess so he could read the letter.  He then came
    back and said that the letter wasn't proof enough and unless Max had
    something more, he was inclined to to dismiss the case.  Asa walked
    over to Max and told him something like "I told you not to sing unless
    you knew the words to the song".  The judge called the courtroom to
    order and then Nigel walked in with THE DEED.
    
    
    Bo went to Cassie.  Dorian yells at him that it's about time he showed
    up.  Cassie asked Dorian to leave.  She then tells Bo that for the
    first time in her life she wishes that she were like her mother so that
    she could give him an ultimatum.  She said she would tell him to chose
    now, and that if he couldn't then he should go and if he decided that
    he wanted her to come back and if she was still here good, and if not
    too bad.  But because she wasn't like her mother and they got married
    yesterday, who is she?  Is she his wife or Sarah?  That's about where
    it ended.

    Oh, yeah....Cassie did ask Bo if he loved Sarah and he said yes, then
    he said would you understand if I said I loved you too.  I can't
    remeber what Cassie said, but she liked question the "loved" he said
    Cassie I do love you....then I think that's when she said she wished
    she was like her mother...
    
    /red

    
    I haven't noted in here in ages, but I just thought I'd make a few
    comments.  I watch the show daily and I really feel it's been getting
    better.  
    
    I like Luna, she's fun to watch.  I also like this new story with
    her being in love with Max.  I'm wondering how they are going to 
    bring them together.  I think one day Max is gonna get a slap across
    the face and realize he's in love with Luna too.  His downfall with 
    LeAnne is that he won't say "I love you" to her.  
    
    I hope Megan stays on the show since Sarah is back now.  I, too, think
    that they did a great job with this new Sarah.  She's cute.  I keep
    wondering, though, if that is her real eye color or is she wearing
    contacts.  I want Sarah and Bo back together.  Cassie can go back to 
    John Russell (?).  Also, do you really think the minister guy is 
    falling for Megan?   
    
    The scene with Cassie and Alex, I thought, was really great.  Alex
    is so demented, but it must have been fun playing that role anyway.
    
    I'm behind watching my tapes by a few days, so I'll have to catch up
    and comment more later.
    
    bye.

    Cassie

    I can't believe it.  
    
    I was hoping that winer would be leaving soon or at least be put on the
    back burner.  I can't stand this Cassie.
    
    Cheryl

    
    I wanted to slap Cassie after I watched Fridays show!  She is 
    such a whining, sniveling, brat.  Not to mention a first rate
    b*tch.  But now after watching Mondays show, I'm sure she is just
    going to be a peach, now that she has Bo.  I have to say that I 
    really wanted Sarah and Bo together again.  I think the writers will 
    eventually bring them back together.  OR, maybe they will put Sarah
    with Andrew. 
    
    RE: Jason - I don't like him too much.  Yo, Dorian...
    She is really desperate for some action I suppose.  
    
    jv 
    

    I guess I'm in the minority here....I'm glad that Bo picked Cassie.  I
    hate it when a show has someone come back from the dead and the poor
    "new" loved one gets tossed aside.  Bo had his period of mourning, he
    got over his feeling for Sarah, time did not stand still, he went on
    with life and married Cassie.  Should Cassie be made to suffer just
    because of Sarah's misfortune?  Maybe I'm more accepting of this
    Cassie, because I just recently rejoined this show (normally I keep
    comparing replacement to those they replaced, but it's been so long, I
    vaguely remember the "old" Cassie.  However, I do think that Cassie
    reactions to Sarah return was an appropriate one....did you expect her
    to just say, oh, Sarah's back so I guess my feeling for Bo weren't
    real let me give him up and go with someone else?????
    
    /red

    does anyone have an update?  how could bo chose cassie so quickly??!!
    
    cj
    

    somewhat of an update -
    
    
    
    	blair told tina about cord. blair gave tina what was left, the
    death certificate, the wallet and the ring. tina (karen whittier) was
    really good in her denial of what happend. vicki walked in just after
    blair told tina and was comforting tina. viki wants to call clint, but
    tina says no because cord really isn't dead.  vicki calls anyway. clint
    had already left the hotel and was on his way to the courthouse in
    texas. vicki finally reached clint at the courthouse and gave him the
    news. he is on his way back to llandview.
    
    at the courthouse in texas asa has some pictures on max's lawyer and is
    blackmailing him. while the lawyer is questioning asa, max senses
    something is not right and stops the proceeding to talk with the
    lawyer. max ends up firiring the lawyer, he is going to represent
    himself.  when clint left, he asked one of the baliffs to tell asa that
    clint had to go back to landview and that clint would call later and
    explain.
    
    
    that's about all i can remember.  ann
    
    as we've been told, bo went to cassie and said that he chose her.
    before he did that though, he did go to sarah and tell her. while bo
    was at dorians telling cassie, vicki called and told him about cassie. 
    

    Seeing Steph and DC's notes about rings reminded me of something....why
    isn't Tina wearing a wedding ring?  I always check to see if the rings
    are on the right hand and to see if it's the same ring each time, but
    on yesterday's show when Tina had her hands up to her face (wiping away
    tears that just didn't exsist)she only had on a pinky ring.
    
    /red

    Probably because the actress is single and don't wear one, however,
    not all married people wear weadding rings or rings that look like
    weadding rings, my husband and I wear rings that we gave each other
    but are not the traditional weadding rings. It's a matter of choice. 
    Just another comment

    Okay, I know I'm always making these weird observations (like with the
    rings, Tina and Cord had a double ring ceremony, just like most soap
    opera weddings, I wass just wondering if maybe during a fight she had
    thrown her's at Cord, or if she gave it to him when he left to keep a
    part of her with him) but did Clint get back to Llanview in the blink
    of an eye or what?????  On Monday, Clint was on the phone in Texas
    saying not Cord, told the baliff he had to leave.  Then he was home, he
    beat Kevin home who had gone to pick up Joey and Luna was just being
    contacted.  That must be some Lear jet that the Buchanans have and they
    must have a landing strip on the estate.
    
    /red

    Briefly:
    
    I ff'd thru the Asa and Max storyline.
    
    I ff'd thru the Dorian and Jason storyline.
    
    Larry comes over to see Viki.  He asks about Megan, Viki can tell by
    the way he asked that there is some thing wrong...Larry can join the
    ever growing list of unethical doctors who talk about a patient with
    some one other than the patient.  Megan has a kidney that is not
    working and because of her lupus this is dangerous.  Viki ask that he
    not tell Megan at this time and that when the time comes let her tell
    Megan.  Larry agrees to this.
    
    
    Bo goes to Dorian's to get Cassie.  [It was funny the way Dorian was
    trying to get Cassie out of her apartment]  Bo and Cassie have words 
    Bo tells her she is being selfish and that she should have stayed at
    Viki's to comfort him, she said that Sarah was already doing a good 
    job of that. [I may have to concede with the majority and hope that 
    Bo endeds up with Sarah] The whole thing was ridiculous.  Bo ends up
    leaving and Cassie ends up taking Dorian up on her offer to move into
    one of Dorian's townhouse.
    
    Megan and Sarah are talking and Sarah is saying how she felt safer when
    she was a prisoner.  Megan tells her to stop talking like that. [I
    think that more went on with her and her jailer than she is telling us] 
    Troy shows up and tells Sarah that the FAB????? would like her go to
    D.C. and give a statement about Carlo Hesser, Sarah gets all upset, so
    Troy told her that maybe they could just have an agent come Llanview.
    
    Carlo's on the phone with someone, he mentions Sarah's name, then
    Stephanie comes in the room and he quickly hangs up the phone.  Carlo 
    tells Stephanie to get packing they have to leave. Stephanie
    wants to know if they are going back to Llanview.  Carlo tells her that
    they can not go back to Llanview and Stephanie wants to know what he
    did now.
    
    Renee [who in my opinion looks like hell these days]called Asa and told
    him about Cord.
    
    /red

    I ffed through the Asa and Max storyline too, but caught that the Judge
    ruled in favor of Asa.  Asa is ready to celebrate and calls Renee to
    tell her he is taking her shopping when he gets home.  Renee tells him
    tearily that she has bad news for him about Cord.
    
    Max and LeeAnn talk about losing the case and end up in bed (this was a
    big surprise!!!) as per usual.  Max get restless afterward and goes to
    sleep on the couch.  He has a dream that his father is calling him and
    keeps sayin the word Serenity.  Max doesn't know what it means.
    
    Dorian invites Jason over for dinner, although Jason thinks it's only
    for a little while.  When he get there, she tells him that she wants to
    act out her sexual fantasies with him and has some suits for him to try
    on.  Jason tells her that he will not wear the suits of former lovers
    or anyone else.  She tells him they are new.  She also tells him how
    "elegant" his is and will look.  Then he dress up in one of the suits
    for her and they have dinner.  He doesn't know what the three forks are
    for but Dorian says she will teach him.  He gets all defensive and says
    that he will not be a student, like with a teacher.  She finally calms
    him down and have dinner.  Then he tells her that he will pick the
    clothes for her for next time.  Give me a (like total) break!!!!!
    
    red:  I agree with you about Larry. He has done this twice now with
    Megan and it is really bugging me.  Now, Vicki wants to keep it secret
    and Clint is encouraging her.  Please!!!!  
    
    Cheryl

       Just a bit about today's show.
    
       Clint and Vicki are at the chapel with the priest (?) giving a
    little prayer about Cord.  Vicki mentions to the priest that she and
    Clint would like to have a small memorial service for Cord and she will
    let him know when the time is right.  She also says that she would like
    to enlarge some of Cord's work and put them in the chapel for the
    service.  Vicki says that she would like to do something for Cord to
    keep his name remembered.  Clint suggests that they get with some local
    colleges and have scholarships in Cord's name for photo-journalists.
    
      Megan and Sarah are talking and Sarah says that she will go fix some
    lunch in her ever-so-pitiful-whine.  Megan tells her no, that she will
    do it.  As she get up she gets a pain and goes to sit down in a chair. 
    Sarah looks concerned.  (Didn't get into that too much).
    
      Tina is a the mansion playing with her son C.J. (?).  She asks him to
    go play upstairs so that she can think (impossible).  She goes to the
    terrace and looks out the door.  She sees a vision of Cord in the yard
    with his arms outstreched to her for help.  She shuts the door.
    
      Sorry, that's all that I saw today.
     

    
    
    On Dec 24 there will be a special Christmas Pageant on OLTL, which
    will feature the real life children/siblings of some of the cast.
    Erika Slezak's kids Amanda and Michael Davies, Anthony Call (Herb)
    daughter Abigail, Robert Woods (Bo) son Tanner, Yasmine Bleeth's
    bothers Tristan and Miles,Chris Mckenna (Joey) brother Ryan and Wortham
    Krimmer (Andrew) son Max. There will also be 20 more kids from the OLTL
    crew and staff.

    
    Nobody mention that Chris Cousins (Hudson Kane-Heinrich Keyser) was
    in the back of the court room during Asa's trial. He had a smile
    on his face when the judge ruled in Asa's favor.

    Damn, that's all I saw of the show too, (tape ran out, other vcr set to
    wrong channel) anyone else catch the rest of the show?????  CHERYL?????
    
    /red

    re .866
    i missed a few days - who is chris cousins?
    i did the see character in the court room, he had a little smirk on his
    face.  but i don't recognize him.
    
    		ann

    ok - that's right, he was supposed to playing a bunch of characters.
    
    i remember!  thanks!

         
    I'll try to give a decent update for 12/13...
    
    Megan is birdwatching with Andrew and gets excited over finding 
    out about a particular bird when she suddenly gets chest pains.
    Andrew takes her back to his place (I think) and gives a glass of 
    water.  They talk a little while (I can't remember what about) and
    I guess they decide to go to the doctor.  Later they show Megan in
    a hospital gown and hooked up to some wires and an IV.  Andrew comes
    in and she tries to be light-hearted about everything.  She says
    something about knowing all about these tubes and stuff from her soap
    opera days.  They talk some more and Andrew says he is smitten, I think
    he was sort of telling her he was smitten with her(I wasn't quite
    paying complete attention to this part).  Larry comes in and Andrew
    leaves the room.  He talks to her about the chest pains and tells her
    she needs to take it easy since she only has that one functioning
    kidney.  He was talking to her like she already knew about her
    kidneys, but since we all know that Vicki never told her, Megan was of
    course in total shock and pissed off.  She wanted to know why she
    wasn't told directly and so on.  Eventually, Andrew came in to comfort
    her.  I know I missed some parts, but there was a good scene with Megan
    looking at Jakes picture and getting very depressed (which is totally
    understandable).  Andrew comes in and she just breaks down, telling him
    that she misses Jake and that he should be here with her so that they
    can make love together and have children together, etc.  She was crying
    and it was a very emotional scene.  
    
    LeeAnn goes with Max to find a house to live in.  She is all excited 
    because she thinks he wants her to live with him.  They are at Carlo's
    old house and the realtor woman is explaining about the house, when
    Max realizes it's the house that Carlo was shot in.  The woman points 
    out that he didn't die, he was just shot.  Anyway, Max is sure that
    he can get a good deal because he knows this woman wants to get this 
    house off her hands.  So he sweet talks her a little and they decide 
    on a deal.  LeeAnn tries to see if Max wants her to live there by
    saying that the house is just so big for just two people.  Well, Max
    never mentions wanting her to move in, but that she can visit all the 
    time.  She gets all in a huff and then there's a knock on the door and
    it's Luna.  She has some brownies and a house warming gift.  Max asked
    her how she knew they were there and she said she saw their car from 
    her window.  Anyway, LeeAnn decides to leave, so Luna and Max are
    alone.  She tells him she is real happy that he got the house and that
    he could find "serenity" here.  Well, Max just about flips when she
    says this.  He asked her why she chose the word serenity.  She just
    said that's the word that came to her mind.  He tells her that that's
    the word that his father used in a dream he had.  Then he remembers 
    that Joe Hawk had something for her.  He gets it out of his jacket and
    gives it to her.  I forgot what it is called. It's made out of a tree
    branch, it looks like a big sling shot.  Luna tells him it can find 
    water and that it only works for sensitive people like herself.  Max
    asks if it could find money.(jokingly)  So, Luna just starts pointing
    it and it leads her around and then suddenly it points at the newpaper
    and on the news paper is the horse racing schedule and there is a horse
    named Serenity on it.  Max says something about luck and Luna says that
    there is no such thing as good luck, that everything that happens is
    somehow interconnected, etc.  She tells him to make a bet and he says 
    he doesn't have any cash.  Then he remembers there's a poker game at
    the Buchanan Palace and that he is going with Luna as his lucky charm.
    She just looks at him with a surprised face.
    
    LeeAnn left Max and went to see Kevin.  She had a book of photographs
    taken by professional photograhers and she tells Kevin she brought it 
    for the family because she noticed that there is a photo of Cord's in
    it.  She thought it would be nice.  She says she had better go since he
    was dressed up and getting ready to go somewhere.  Kevin tells her he 
    was just going to go for a drive to clear his mind and get away from
    the house because it's so depressing.  He invites LeeAnn to come along.
    She hesitated at first and declined, but then Kevin talked her into
    going along.  
    
    ---
    There were more scenes, but I think I wrote too much as it is.
    I it was an okay update, I don't do them too often.
    
    Julie 

    
    
    Megan is so angry with Viki for not saying a word about her kidney
    problem, that she decides to go out for the time of her life.
    After getting dressed to kill, Megan heads for Atlantic City wher she
    runs into Humberto. Although Megan knows he is Hudson/Heinrich (Chris
    Cousins) the con artist, she doesn't care, she wants to party up a
    storm.
    
    Following a high stakes poker game, Max conciders Luna his lucky charm
    and easily convinces her to go to Atlantic City with him.
    
    When Max sees Megan there, drunk and dancing, he calls Viki.
    
    Megan proceeds to get more drunk and more sick.
    
    Keven won't stop telling Lee Ann how much he loves her.
    
    Bo comforts Sarah.
    
    Cassie is admiring Blair's jewelry when a mysterious woman slips out of
    the shadows and touches her face.
    
    Next: Could this be curtains for Megan?
    Kevin won't leave Lee Ann alone.
    

    i was home a bit yesterday and caught some of it.  i was dissapointed
    that the new sarah wasn't on and now that i'm thinking of it, i was
    dissapointed in 'everything' that i saw.  i thought this soap was
    getting better.  anyways... 
    
    megan is at some plush dancing room and she is dancing with the
    minister.  she is getting drunk and is dressed in this short fitted
    (top was anyways, bottom kinda flaired out) black dress with a haltor
    style top and from her bellybutton up to her neck it had some gold and
    glitter in it.  it wasn't a bad dress but megan never looks really good
    to me.  she then leaves the minister after asking him about why he
    isn't in love with anyone now (he answered her by saying that he was
    in love once).  she gets hudson or whatever his name is and they head
    to this biker bar.  
    
    jason and dorian are there and dorian is dressed in black leather.  her
    figure is very flattering IMO.  anyways.. some guy tries to come on to
    her and gives her grief about being with 'her son' and she gets upset. 
    he grabs her and jason comes over.  the guy pulls a knife and jason got
    a chair but dorian hit the drunk over the head with some bottle so
    there was no fight.  dorian says her man was like stallone.  give me a
    break.  they are about to leave after bickering with the owner about
    the mess (dorian pays for it) and megan and hudson come in.  i missed a
    bit here but dorian at first didn't want them to see her but megan was
    at her table later telling her to make sure that she tells vicki that
    she was out flirting, flaunting and drinking.  then megan while dancing
    with hudson askes him to take her to AC.  they leave.
    
    luna and max were at wanda's and he is loving all the money that he won
    with luna's 50.00 that he borrowed.  she is praying that she can stay
    away from him physically; i think.  leanne comes in with kevin.  max
    and kevin give eachother some snide remarks.  luna keeps asking leanne
    if she is sure that she can't come.  she didn't make her mind when i
    left.
    
    earlier, kevin was at leanne's complaining that he is not a radio and
    can't be turned off and on.  leanne apologizes and says that she can't
    do much about it.  he wants to know the same old thing, why they can't
    be more then friends.  she tells him about how she loves chaisse'
    lounges and paints a picture of her corner of her room and how it would
    be nice to have that but its very selfish of her.  kevin reminds her
    that at x-mass miracles do happen.
    
    at landfair vicki is dictating to blair but can't get her mind off
    cord.  clint comes home with a tree but vicki and him grieve for a bit
    and decide to wait on the tree.  later on that evening kevin and the
    family are decorating the tree saying what a good idea it really was
    and kevin says he wants a 'friend' to join them for x-mass day.  he
    won't tell them her name but they say its fine as any friend of his and
    is a friend of theirs.  i guess its leanne.
    
    that is all i saw.
    
    comments:  
    
    vicki's grieving was pitiful.  it took too much out of the story and
    she was not acting well at all.
    
    clint is gaining weight, bigtime.
    
    blair still bugs me, what is with her?  
    
    megan and the minister look like they are going to have something.  i
    think they are doing this so she could possibly stick around if she
    wants to.
    
    i love our max being back and like him with leanne but also with luna.  
    
    kevin and leanne whine very good together.
    
    jason and dorian are pathetic.  there is nothing in him at all for her
    to see.  IMHO.

    Thanks to my santa claus husband with all the Christmas lights outside, 
    Don't get me wrong -I love the lights- It's the blown fuses that screw
    up my VCR from taping my soaps that drives me crazy!!!
    
    Anyways enough complaining!  When Luna was inviting Leanne to join them
    in atlantic City,  Leanne got out of going by making up the excuse that
    she's been taking too much time off.  I don't think she wanted to go
    because Max didn't invite her first and she felt like a 3rd wheel.
    
    How does wanda run a restaurant with Luna off Gambling,  Leanne
    wrapping presents, Jason off with Dorian and Wanda nowhere to be found?
    
    kevin is pretty snobby.  But I love the comments he makes to Max.  
    
    Luna is funny RE: her lust for Max.  She has the best facial
    expressions!   
    
    Well enough rambling on.  One more month to maternity leave!!!!

    Hi, I've been with you in spirit.  I've been sick with a nasty cold and
    have been working on and off all week.  This thing's a b*tch to get rid
    of, but I'm getting better.  I'll definately be here all week now!!! 
    No more time off for me.
    
    BTW, all the ABC soaps are not on here on Wednesday.  I believe this is
    true for the whole country.  College Football again!!!
    
    Here's the upcoming news for this week:
    
    The minute Megan hits the deck, Humberto hits the road.  Luckily,
    Andrew is able to get Megan to the hospital.  Once she is stabilized,
    Larry let Megan have it for mixing her medication with alcohol.
    
    After Asa buys some jewelry for Renee, Blair tells her mother, Addie,
    the Asa is a very fine man.
    
    Lee Ann discovers she is pregnant, but she's not sure who the father
    is. 
    
    Megan spends Christmas Eve with Andrew.
    
    Tina returns home.
    
    Bo and Cassie make love.
    
    After Jason buys Lee Ann a necklace, just like the one she lost, he
    leaves it anonymously in her room.  Kevin, meanwhile, takes his
    grandmother's engagement ring out of the vault.
    
    Dorian buys Jason a motorcycle for Christmas.  
    
    Jake promises to hit the sheets with Ilse if she'll let him call home.
    
    Next:  Dorian waits for Jason to say "thank you."  Kevin wonders what's
    with Lee Ann.
    
    Cheryl

    does anyone have a recent update?  thanks in advance...
    
    i wonder what leanne will do with the baby?  i bet she loses it.
    
    cj
    

    I bet Kevin wants to marry her and claim the baby as his.
    

    
    Hi Guys!
    
    I haven't watched OLTL (or even been in this note) for MONTHS!!!  I
    enjoyed catching up and reading all your great updates... THANK YOU!
    
    From what I've read it seems that all the females in Llanview are 
    lusting after Max, and all the males are lusting after Lee Anne. Am
    I getting this right?  
    
    Dorian is too cool!  But Jason needs a haircut and a good shampooing!
    
    I don't like the new Sarah, and agree with CJ that for some reason
    Megan just doesn't look good most of the time.  
    
    That's it!  Happy Holiday's everyone!
    
    HO! HO! HO!

    I missed mondays show, but I watched most of Tuesday.  I hope
    LeeAnn's baby is Kevins, so Max can get together with Luna.  
    Although, unfortunately little Al is putting pressure on Max 
    to marry LeeAnn.  Luna saw the pregnancy test, so I wonder if
    she is going to confront LeeAnn about it. 
    
    So is Jason hot for LeeAnn or Dorian?  How about Jason says the baby's
    his (to save LeeAnn) - then they can jump on his motorcycle and ride off
    into the sunset and never come back! 
    
    I want Bo to go back to Sarah.  Cassie is a whiner.  I HOPE they don't
    have her get pregnant too.
    
    I liked Humberto/Hudson/Heinrich. Did anyone else?  Did he leave town
    completely this time?

    well, sure is quite in here.  i saw a bit of tuesdays show too.  dorian
    was at some church with cassie.  i think bo was being counceled by the
    minister that likes megan.  anyways.. she was all upset, whining and
    everything about keeping her man and dorian flat out told her to get
    her man in bed and keep him there!  she mentioned whatever bo wanted,
    dressing in red, etc.  cassie decided to go with mom's advise and left.
    the next thing you know there is a knock on [[[sarah's]]] door and she 
    opens it to find bo.  he says 'merry christmas sarah!'  i guess cassie 
    will be waiting a long time for bo to return.  dorian also mentioned that
    sarah wouldn't be able to take care of bo's needs in her condition.  i
    wouldn't be so sure however, upcoming news says that cassie and bo do
    make love soon.  i am sure she will get pregnant.  just in time for bo
    to decide he wants to be with sarah and now can't.
    earlier sarah was wherever she is staying, on the couch and sleeping. 
    megan comes in and finds her dreaming and obviously upset.  she is
    calling out for bo and once she wakes up she is still upset.  she told
    megan to leave her alone, that she was sick of people probing, touching
    and watching her.  something happened to this girl while she was
    captured.. she was probably raped and stuff.. again.  anyways.. megan
    left.  
    only one comment about this whole thing and that is "if cassie was such
    good friends with sarah why haven't they talked "at all", or have
    they?"
    
    that was all i saw.  i hope someone can keep us up to date as with four
    generations in my household this week i am positive i will not be
    watching t.v.!
    
    happy holidays everyone!

    FYI - from Nancy Reichardt column, "What's happening on the SOAPS"
    
    Chistopher Durham is fast becoming a soap opera veteran, and
    his most recent venture into the medium will be in the recurring
    role of Dr. Michael Jonas on "One Life to Live." Durham first came
    to the attention of daytime fans when he played Matt McCandless
    on "Capitol" (1982-84).  When the role ended, the actor turned up
    on "Ryan's Hope" as Dakota Smith (1985-88 when the show went
    off the air), and about a year later he created the role of Mark
    Harrington on "As the World Turns" (1989). Durham is slated to
    make his first appearance on "OLTL" in early January.

    cj --> Cassie and Sarah did talk.  Cassie went over to Megan's to tell
    Sarah that she is glad that Sarah is back and that she was going to
    have the marriage annulled.  Sarah said that she had just decided to
    give Bo a divorce.  Then they realized that they were the ones making a
    decision that should be made by Bo, and that was about it.  I don't
    think their friendship will ever be the same.
    
    I forgot the paper with the upcoming news.  But there was one piece I
    remember....
    
    When Max and Blair meet, the electricity makes sparks fly.  Max and Blair 
    spend time getting to know one another.
    
    /red 

    
    
    Gross!  I don't like the idea of Max and Blair together.  Actually,
    I don't like Blair very much.  How about anyone else?  I know that
    Tina can see something in Blair that is just not right.  She made a 
    major slip up when she said she used to go horseback riding in 
    Massachusetts and earlier she had said Connecticut.  And does she 
    have a ghost or what?!
    
    I still want Sarah and Bo together (didn't I already say that in a
    previous note?).  Somehow, Bo is going to come to Sarah's rescue and
    then he'll realize he wants her instead.

    I'll try another update:
    
    I may be putting Fri. and Mon. together..
    
    Luna went to visit Leanne again to confront her about the pregnancy 
    test she saw.  Leanne told her she definitely was not pregnant.  Well,
    we all know she is and today she went to the doctor.  She tried to pass
    herself off as a "Mrs."...a Mrs. Max Holden.  She was wearing an
    engagement ring that Kevin had given her earlier.  It was Grandma
    Lord's engagement ring that he had gotten out of the safe.  He asked 
    Leanne to marry him, but she didn't give a confirming yes or no, but 
    she did take the ring.  Anyway,  the doctor gave her the usual info 
    about being pregnant, and got the impression that Leanne wasn't happy
    about the news.  Leanne wanted the doctor to see if she could find out
    *exactly* how far along she is. Leanne told her she had irregular 
    periods so she couldn't exactly remember when her last period was.  The 
    doctor told her that she was probably about 7 to 9 weeks.  Well, Leanne
    goes home and is looking at her calendar trying to figure out the
    dates.  She circles the 12th of some month, probably October.  Then 
    she gets a knock at the door, its Kevin with a gift.  It's a red sequin
    dress that he got her for a New's Years Eve party.  She tries not to 
    accept it, but does and agrees to go to a party (I think).   Then she 
    tells Kevin she really would like to be alone because she has a lot of 
    things to think about.  He leaves and she calls Max.  I don't know what
    everything was they talked about, but it ended with him saying he
    thought it would be good if they saw other people.  He says, "That
    doesn't mean I don't want to see you...", Leanne says"I know exactly
    what it means!!!!" and hangs up...and cries.  (I think alot of us have
    gone thru that kind of crappy moment!)  
    
    Andrew goes to a another priest of some sort and tells him he has a
    problem - he's in love with a woman in his congregation and she's 
    married.  His friends seems concerned and worried.  
    
    Sarah visited her grave and was crying.  There were some dried up 
    white roses on her grave.  She picked one and started to crumble it
    in her hands (just like in one of her nightmares) and she sort of 
    started to freak (alittle) and cried saying, "somebody help me..."
    
    That's all for now.  I hope it helps, although I think it's a bit
    out of order.

    well well well, i was going to write an update for monday but you guys
    beat me to it.  glad to see some activity in this note.  i have a few
    questions/comments...
    
    1.  leanne did say that she knew who the babies father had to be. 
    	unfortunately, i didn't hear it.  i'm pretty sure she is positive its
    	max's.. does anyone know for sure?
    
    2.	the dream that sarah had i was also half watching.  can anyone give
    	more insight into this?
    
    3.	there was a bit with dorian and jason.  this part kills me.  i have
    a hard time not laughing while watching them.  seems as though they
    were up on some mountain top (probably the buchanan's mountain where
    cord and tina were going to build their house.  now that i think of it,
    why didn't they sell that mountain when they were "broke") anyways..
    dorian was in her leather outfit.  they rode jason's bike up there and
    were talking.  dorian was asking him about his dreams and stuff.  he
    told her that surviving was all he cared about but later admitted
    wanting to be a cop when he was little.  then somehow dorian said that
    he had a bad attitude because of a women.  he got very mad and dorian
    was telling him to take it out on her, hit her, throw the bike over the
    edge etc.  he finally just grabbed her and started kissing her real
    hard.  the next thing you know they made it in the woods.  afterglow
    with jason and dorian ... YUCK!  she then told him that they should go
    and he should come to her house tonight for a new years eve that he
    will never forget.
    
    and, hudson is back.  vicki and tina were in the hotel lobby about to
    have lunch or something when babs (?) came over to give her sympathy to
    tina.  she asked tina to help with something.  i don't remember.  then
    she offered to give something in honor of cord.  tina accepted.  babs
    asked if tina was going to asa's party.  she said "i think cord would
    want us to go on."  the women was pleased.  when they left hudson came
    over to this women and started snowing her.  he said something about
    needing asa's approval or something and that he hadn't seen him in a
    while and couldn't bother him.  babs invites him to the party as her
    escort.  she is beaming and he is about laughing.  
    
    then, i think there was a preview on at this point that had hudson and
    a shot of all the characters he has played and renee' saying that he
    was up to no good but asa said he would love to know what exactely it
    was that he was up to..  then it showed asa pretending to let hudson
    snow him. 
    
    well, i guess that is it.  happy new year everyone!

    Re:  Paterninty Baby Holden according to the date that Leanne circled on 
    the calendar.
    
    The dream Sarah had was very short.  I don't really remember it.
    
    doreen
    

    ok, a few questions (i've been on vacation and didn't watch at all)
    
    	1. did we ever find out what blair's secret was/is?  is this addie
    	   her mother?  is this the person who was in blair's other room?
    
    	2. what is this dream that sara is having?
    
    	3. what religion is the minister supposed to be?  at times he
    reminds me of a non-catholic, then yesterday with the older minister,
    	   the older minister reminded me of a catholic bishop?
    
    	4. any more mention of jake?
    ann

    re .-1
    
    1.  there has been no mention of jake :(  that i have heard however,
    some bulletin said that he was hitting the sheets with someone so he
    can call home.  
    
    2.  i don't know what sarah's dream is but it has to do with white rose
    pedals i think.  they were all over her or something.
    
    3.  i have NO IDEA what blair's secret is.  any ideas anyone?
    
    4.  the minister isn't supposed to be catholic from what i know.  i
    don't understand what the big deal is that he is in love with megan. 
    its got to be because she is married because some minister's can marry
    can't they?  only thing is, if he is tony's replacement.. tony WAS
    catholic.  but they keep calling him the minister.
    
    any ideas?
    
    cj
    

    Jake did call home on Christmas but when he was supposed to pay
    the piper (so to speak) he backed out and that woman (who is she
    supposed to be anyway?) was left quite frustrated.

    Regarding the father of Leann's baby >>>  I think she just really
    wants to believe it's Max's, but she is still not 100% sure.  She 
    circled a date on her calendar and said," It just has to be Max's"
    or something like that.  Also, can someone please tell me why Leann
    is always in that stupid little robe?   I don't know what she wears
    under it, but she's always sitting with her legs apart.  
    
    Sarah's Dream:  The first dream I saw her have had an evil looking
    Santa Claus it in.  He was laughing at her and saying "ho ho ho"
    in a deep creepy voice and crumbling white rose petals in the palm
    of his hands.  She woke up sort of breathless and called Bo on the 
    phone.  She felt told him she felt stupid for having called him, but
    he said he would come over right away.  Well, now I think she has this
    one recurring dream where she's falling in a deluge of white rose petals
    and she can't breath.  She always wakes up breathless and calling for 
    Bo.  Also, I don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but Bo came
    over several days ago and she told him she wanted a divorce.  
    
    I like the scenes with Luna and Max together also. They're really the 
    only ones I pay most attention to.  They discovered the springs and 
    mineral mud and decided to call it "Serenity Springs".  They both said
    it at the same time, sort of like they read each other's mind or
    whatever.  Max told Luna they were partners in this venture.  The land
    is owned by Wild Wood Properties which is a subsidiary of Asa's.  So,
    Luna was wondering how he was planning on buying land when he had no 
    money.  Suddenly Max realized he could sell the house he bought for 
    Gabrielle.  He said something about it having been damaged by a flood,
    but that the land would sell well. 
    
    Andrew is a non-Catholic minister.  I thought he had mentioned he was
    married before, but his wife died(?????).  Anyway, he has mentioned he
    can marry.  As far as his friend,  either he is Lutheran or one of
    those other religions, like maybe Episcopalian, they have bishops. Or, 
    maybe he just has a Catholic friend.  Anyway, on Tuesdays show, he 
    wrote a letter to his friend and tells him he would like to transfer,
    because of his strong feelings.  While proofreading the letter, Megan
    walked into his office and made a joke about his serious face and said
    it seemed like he wanted to transfer or something...he said he was.

    I watched that dirty dancing scene last night.  I was amazed.  I mean
    really, these two people don't even know each other and they're dancing
    like that.  I'm sorry folks but I just couldn't buy it.  And by the
    way, what is it with soaps these days.  One of them does a dirty
    dancing scene and they all have to follow suit.  Are they sharing the
    same writers or what?  Now, once Max and Blair get to know each other
    (and if the chemistry is good) then I might be able to handle a sexy
    dance scene with them.  Not yet though.
    
    I got the impression that the Bishop was Andrew's superior in the
    church and not just a friend, although they could be friends too I
    suppose.  Anyone have a clue as to how they're going to handle this?
    When is Megan's last air date?  Vicki just mentioned at the New Year's
    party that she was looking kind of washed out.  Do you think they'll
    kill her off or will Jake come back and rush her out of the country
    for some miracle cure (that way they're off the show till they either
    come back or the parts are recast).  Or, she and Andrew could leave
    town together and Jake could be killed off leaving her free to marry
    Andrew...and leaving them both open for a comeback.
    
    Jan

    Jan:
    
    Megan's last air date is during the 1st week of Feb, when she will be
    in a coma.  OLTL still plans to kill her off (unless Jessica Tuck has a
    last minute change of heart and decides to stay).  See note 18.815. 
    Some of this article that was printed in the TV Guide is still true,
    but all the alumni that Linda Gottlieb tried to get back has backed out
    for other commitments.  Gerald Anthony is now on Another World, Judith
    Light has a scheduling conflict.  So as of a couple of weeks ago, only
    Joe Lando (Jake) had agreed to come back, and is appearing a couple of
    times a month.
    
    Did anyone catch the new beginning.  It reminded me of Loving's
    beginning.  I kind of liked seeing the faces at the beginning although
    that song did have to go!!!

    Just wanted to say I saw Bob Woods in an old Waltons show today (Sun)
    it was titled the wedding. Boy was he young, I was flipping through the
    channels and saw this face that looked familiar and had to watch it for
    a while till they showed a close up of him.

    /red

    
    
    max sure has a thing for asa's stables!  first gabs then blair.
    
    does anyone have an update for friday or a recent one?
    
    thanks in advance!!!
    
    
    cj
    

    Let's see what I can remember....
    
    Leeanne told Max she wants a permament relationship=marriage or
    goodbye.  Max said he's just not ready so - see ya'.  He told Luna he
    and Leeanne broke up.  She's somewhere between happy and feeling awful
    about it and begs the "goddess" to free her from these feelings.
    Megan confronted Andrew about why he was leaving.  She thought she had
    been leaning on him too much and that's why he was leaving.  He finally
    told her he had to leave because he had "fallen hopelessly in love with
    a married woman"...her.
    Sarah went to see this hunk doctor and she was hostile at first saying
    she was only there so Megan would stop bugging her.  After a while she
    openned up to him.  I hope they keep this guy!!
    Blair wrote a story about the Congressman or whatever he is and
    included all of these things he said off the record.  Clint believes
    this other guy and not Blair.  She got mad and still insisted she was
    telling the truth.  Tina came in after Blair left and told Clint and
    Vicki that she was at the coffee shop at the time and it was supposed
    to be off the record.
    Tina went to see Hudson/Heinrich/???????? to tell him off.  He tried to
    make moves on her and she said "if you're going to make moves on a
    widow, you should atleast wait a respectable amount of time".  He
    didn't know about Cord and seemed to feel bad.  He said he wouldn't
    have made moves on her if he'd known about Cord.  She really got mad
    then and stormed out.
    Blair went to Asa's stable to ride and Max walked in..... the end.
    
    Marie
    

    Oops.... I forgot.  Also, Leeanne told Jason she's pregnant and isn't
    sure who's it is.  She swore him to secrecy.

    Hi all,
    
    I enjoyed watching OLTL over my vacation.....I've always liked this
    show, but not enough to tape it as I've always thought it moved too
    slowly.  Seems if I watch it one day every 3 months or so, I catch up
    easily......reading the notes file does help  :-)  though.
    
    Just a couple of comments on the characters, actors, etc.
    
    I really like the new (not so new anymore) Tina....she is pretty and
    has brought more depth to the character.
    
    What does everyone see in Max?  I find him a total bore.  Kill me if
    you will but I liked "Jimmy" (Nicholas Walker) better as Max, he was
    more 3-dimensional that the original, now current, Max.
    
    The plot switch from Max chasing Leanne to her chasing him, is a little
    hard to swallow and Brian really seems much too young for her.  I do
    like the Jason character though, he is very interesting.
    
    This Con man is quite good......funny too.  Will he turn out to be
    another of Asa's sons?  Seems every new man in Landview turns out to be
    a Son or almost Son.
    
    Oh, almost forgot, Megan looks much better than the last time I saw
    her, she is still very bland, but with her hair a shade or 2 darker and
    the blue-red lipstick she now wears, she does have some color to her. 
    I also like the minister, but isn't this a little too close to the
    Gabs/Father Tony storyline for comfort?

    Thel......
    
    BLASTPHEMY!!!  Faithful viewers would never chose the "fake" Max over
    our beloved real Max.  ;^)  hahaha  
    
    Anyway, I had the same thought about this Hudson/Heinrich/etc... yet
    another illegitimate child of Asa's somehow.  I doubt he's the son of
    Asa's first love since he'd have to be older than Clint but this is the
    soaps.
    
    Marie

    well, to tell you the truth, i like both characters.  no one will have
    better buns then the original max but i always thought his acting
    lacked "something".  the other max did have depth but he yelled alot...
    remember???
    
    i'm not sure about hudson/etc.  i think he is going to get together
    with tina somehow (although i did think him and megan were going to get
    together).  i wonder if megan is still leaving?  i will agree that she
    looks a "bit" better these days.  tina will probably get together with
    him and cord will come back and won't believe that she could fall for
    someone like him but by that time everyone in the family will have
    forgiven him and his past and he will be like family.  cord will then
    get together with blair.
    
    WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THE WRITERS AT OLTL THAT NOT EVERYONE HAS TO
    WORK AT WANDA'S OR THE DAMN PAPER!!! (whew, had to get that off my
    chest)
    
    i don't think that blair and max will stay together long.  i think luna
    and him will end up together but not for a long time.    
    
    leanne is going to say that she will marry kevin but it will never
    happen.  she will get sick just before the wedding and in the hospital
    murmer that the babies is max's.  and then, the baby will die because
    max can't have another child running around, yet.
    
    well, i will be home tonight watching.  i have taped and will update
    what happens in the barn!  
                                                     

    A little more upcoming news from SPW:
    
    This week:
    Megan realizes she has more than a friend in Andrew.  Sarah turns to
    tranquilizers because her marriage to Bo is over and she is unable to
    help Megan.  Jason stop Lee Ann from making a life-changing decision. 
    Asa has a windfall in Cain.  Jason gives Dorian the cold shoulder. 
    Luna fears Blair is going to come between her and Max.  Luna decides to
    get to Max through Asa.  Megan is unaware that Viki is about to give
    her a lifesaving gift.  Cain eyes Tina.
    
    Next Week:
    
    Viki and Megan go under the knife.  Dorian pleads with Jason.  Cassie
    wishes Bo would stop worrying about Sarah.
    
    Predictions for 1992:  Some of these are really stupid IMHO.  Remember,
    they are only predicitions from the editors of this magazine:
    
    Tina finds a new man:
    
    Dorian is so enamored of Jason that she doesn't have time to plot the
    demise of the Buchanans.  After Bo and Sarah are forced to spend the
    night in a stalled elevator, their reminiscing turns into a night of
    passion.  Cassie finds solace in Andrew's arms.  Kevin proposed to Lee
    Ann despite the fact she might be carrying Max's child.  Asa agrees to
    take Cain under his wing, but keeps a watchful eye over him.  Although
    Cain bamboozled Tina as Hudson Kin, she can't help being attracted to
    him.  Luna, heartbroken that Max is not interested in her, loses all
    faith in her worship of the New Age Goodesses.  It take an unlikely
    source to make Luna realize that turning away from her beliefs - and
    feeling sorry for herself - isn't the answer.
    
    How Last years predictions match up with what really happened:
    
    Gabrielle lost all the men in her life - and a whole lot more - when
    she was tossed in jail.  Max lost interest in Alex when he met Lee Ann. 
    Alex, meanwhile, developed a mad crush on Bo.  Dan and Laura left
    Llanview.  Jake and Megan tied the know.  Carlo did try to go legit and
    got shot for his efforts.  Johnny didn't haunt Cord and Tina from the
    grave; Baby Sarah turned out to be Cord's child.

    Let's see if I can remember anything from today's show.
    
    
    Blair and Max had an encounter in the stables.  She doesn't seem
    too interested in him and is playing hard to get.  Max likes a
    good challenge and is just that much more determined to go after
    her.  Max thinks Blair has lots of fire.  
    
    There was one scene where Blair gets paged by Vicki and has
    to return to the Banner.  Max offers to help her take her riding
    boots off.  I couldn't see very well 'cause I had my glasses on
    instead of my contacts but Max seemed to have a very good boot
    removal technique and Blair seemed to enjoy his help.  What I can't 
    understand though is that when Blair's beeper went off she didn't 
    even look at it, she just went to the phone and called Vicki.  I 
    don't know about the rest of you but I always have to check to see 
    who I'm supposed to be calling.  Don't tell me, Vicki is the only
    one that ever pages Blair, right?
    
    Blair is in trouble over an article she wrote for the Banner.  The
    guy she interviewed is claiming he made the comments off the record
    and Blair claims they made no such agreement.  Tina told Vicki she
    was in the restaurant when they were there and she heard the guy
    tell Blair it was off the record.  They guy's lawyer had contacted
    the Banner and they're threatening to sue them for libel.
    
    Dorian was calling all over town trying to locate Jason.  Meanwhile
    he was in Lee Ann's room talking to her about the baby.  Actually,
    I think I could see Lee Ann and Jason getting together.
    
    Asa has hired Cain to work as his personal secretary.  He told Bo
    and Clint that he hired Cain for Rose and that this way he'll be 
    able to keep an eye on Cain.  He also told them that if Cain put
    one toe on the wrong side of the line, he would be wearing smaller
    shoes.
    
    Megan talked Andrew out of leaving Llanview.  As they're leaving the 
    park Megan gets a sharp pain in her back.  Andrew carries her out and
    next time we seem them, they're at the hospital.  The specialist tells
    her that her kidney is failing.  Vicki talks to Larry and he tells her
    the next option is a kidney transplant.  He's going to start looking
    for donors.  Vicki tells him she will be the donor and he tells her
    no.  He is concerned for her health since she recently had a stroke
    and he tells her she cannot be the donor for Megan.
    
    The therapist gave Sarah some tranquilizers to calm her down.  He
    instructed her to only take one at a time.  He wants to calm her down
    not knock her out.  Later, she was upset and was taking the
    tranquilizers.  I couldn't see the tv well enough from where I was
    sitting since I had on glasses instead of contacts but I got the
    impression she took more than one.
    
    Sorry, that is all I remember.  I have terrible vision without my
    contacts that glasses just don't correct very well so I missed alot
    of the facial expressions between Max and Blair and I missed seeing
    how many pills Sarah took.
    
    Jan

    
    During the scene with Megan and Andrew in the park, Andrew said 
    that he is an Episcopal Minister.  I was right!  
    
    Julie

    in reference to the new opening... i think its stinks.  i think it is a
    total copy of loving!
    
    
well, my vcr was set at long speed so i only got to see part of the show.
my guess is it was about half.

partial for monday, january 6, 92
---------------------------------

megan is in the park with andrew and he tells her that he loves her and
he can't stay as a minister in the area.  she askes him not to leave. 
he has a letter that is for his superior? and she askes to read it.  he
rips it in half and she cries.  he decides to stay as she needs him and
they hug.  they are leaving, taking the long way back and megan gets a
sharp pain in her lower back.  she says it will get better but is in 
more pain immediately.  andrew picks her up and starts to carry her 
away.  

blair is in the stable about ready to ride and max comes in with her
comb that fell out of her hair while they were dancing (NO CHEMISTRY
AT ALL BETWEEN THESE TWO) but she says to hold on to it.  he comments
that he will hold anything she wants him to.  she goes riding and 
comes back a bit later saying to the stable hand that the horse threw
a shoe and is outside.  max comments that if that was true the horse
would of probably bucked and stuff.  she says i handled him are you
surprized?  they talk some more and max askes her out for dinner.  she
says no and starts to walk away.  its obvious that she is giving him
some kind of encouragement in her facial expressions though so max
tries to be more persistant.  blair's beeper goes off and she goes to
call the banner.

in the meantime tina was at the banner trying to tell vicki that the
article blair wrote was supposed to be off the record and she was at
the restaurant where blair interviewed the guy and definately heard him
ask for it to be off the record and how blair agreed.  vicki stands up
for blair saying that she hasn't had a chance to defend herself and its
not fair of tina.  tina goes on to say that no one knows anything about
this girl and that she took luna's tip the first day she came to wanda's
and that is nothing but trouble.  vicki is hesistant.  tina then makes
a remark that cord wouldn't of died if blair wasn't around and vicki 
says that tina can't blame her for cord's death.  tina was mature about
it but stuck to her guns and asked why she would believe someone she
really doesn't know before tina.  vicki says that she will talk to 
blair and that is when she beeped her.

so blair calls vicki and she tells her that she has to come to the banner
right away.  max offers to take off her boots and she lets him.  that is
where my vcr ran out!

jason is with leanne and she tells him about the pregnancy.  she says that
she is going to take care of it and jason askes if she is going to get
rid of the baby.  she doesn't answer one way or the other and askes jason
why he is there for her.  he says he cares for her and hugs her.  he has
a thing for her bigtime.

cain is watching the tape with megan on it and takes it out, rips it up
and says, "asa this is one tape that you will not watch.  i can't do that
to megan." (IS HE IN LOVE WITH MEGAN OR SOMETHING?) then the screen pans
to asa sitting in his house looking at a torn photo of some women that 
he says he loved long ago.  (YES, ANOTHER ILLEGITIMATE SON OF ASA'S...
GIVE ME A BREAK) and renee' comes in and askes what he is doing.  he says
that the women is dead, was a long time ago to him and its really nothing
but old memorabilia.  she is uneasy and askes him to open up to him.  he
will not.  bo and clint come in (THESE TWO KILL ME, COMING IN AS THE LOYAL
SONS) and tells asa that three da's in various states are looking for
cain.  he doesn't have a record but they want to talk to him about fraud.
seems that he pretended to heal this old women and then robbed her blind.
asa calls cain and askes him to come over.  no one can figure this out
but cain says that he would be happy to see his house in one hour.  he
comes over and renee' makes a great comment when she leaves.  "it was
nice to meet you, whoever you are!"  bo and clint do the usual "no one
will ever mess with our family, we stick together... bla bla bla" and they
leave.  asa bluntly askes cain what the hell he wants.  cain says he is
in trouble with loan sharks.  borrowed 30K and they are looking to break
his knees.  asa says "no they are looking to size you with cement boots."
cain says that he paid them 10K but that was only three days interest.
asa askes where he got the money and he says phoney charity drives, etc.
but nothing he was proud of.  i think that was the end of their scene.

dorian is calling around looking for jason who of course is with leanne.
she is remembering the last time she was with him.

that is about it.  sorry i couldn't finish.

    Thanks for the updates.  I didn't get a chance to watch, yesterday and
    will probably miss tonights too.
    
    /red

    Is it just me? I don't like Blair. She always seems to have something
    up her sleeve.  I thought she was inlove with Cord, but it didn't
    take her long to bounce back.
    

    
    I only watch this show when I am home, so anyone who could answer some
    of these questions---I would appreciate it.
    
    1.  When and more importantly how did Cord die?  Is he really dead, or
    is he going to come walking in one of these days?
    
    2.  Who is Blair and where did she come from?  Who is the girl that lives
    her her (at least I think she lives with her)?
    
    3.  What happend to Gabs?
    
    4.  Where the heck is Jake?
    
    Sorry, if some of these questions are old, but as I mentioned, I don't
    have the chance watch it much.
    
    Thanks.
    
    Kathy
    
    

    Some quick answers here.  You'll have to rely on someone else to
    go into more detail.  I get a bit fuzzy on the details since I tape
    4 soaps.
    
    1.  Cord died before Christmas.  He was in Jabba City (don't even ask
        me which country this is in cause I haven't got a clue) trying to
        rescue Jake when they were discovered and he was shot in the chest.  
        He fell into the river.  Blair dove in after him but the currents
        were too strong and she couldn't find him.  Body was never found.
        This leaves the possibility that they could bring him back.
    
    2.  We're not really sure yet who Blair is and what her background is.
        The woman staying with her is her mother.  I haven't heard her 
        speak yet.  She appears to be in poor health (either physical or
        mental).  Blair's character is still developing.  I imagine we'll
        start getting more details soon.
    
    3.  Gabrielle is in prison.  I can't remember exactly what for but it
        has something to do with Carlo Hesser.
    
    4.  Jake is being held prisoner in some country.  Apparently the person
        he was playing body guard for was into running guns or something
        like that.  They keep trying to get information from Jake but he
        didn't know what the boss was doing and the boss abandoned him or
        any knowledge of him.
    
    Hope this helps.  Maybe someone else can give you the finer points in 
    these stories.
    
    Jan 

    Actually Jan, you've covered it all pretty well.  The only detail I can
    add is that Jake is being held somewhere in Jabba City (somewhere in
    the Middle East supposedly).  And you are definately right about them
    leaving it open for Cord to return...the ol' body never found routine.
    
    Also to answer a couple of notes back, I don't think we're supposed to
    like Blair.  Those of us who watch daily know she's up to something.
    They just haven't given away what that is yet.
    
    Marie

    Thanks for your answers, that helps a whole bunch.
    
    We all know darn well that Cord will come back one of these days.  He
    will probably turn up with Jake.
    
    As for the actress that played Gabreille, I saw her on Ophra a few
    months back and she mentioned that she didn't want to come back, she is
    into other things.  She is really dating the guy that played Father
    Tony.
    
    Thanks for your answers.
    
    Kathy

    Supposedly, he was attacked in Jabba City while trying to get
    information on Jake.  He showed up at the New Years Eve Party with that
    Cellophane tape and sunglasses.

    did anyone see tuesdays show?  thanks a million,

    It was fairly uneventful.
    
    Sarah offered one of her kidneys to Megan but didn't match.
    Vicki is still insisting they use one of her's but Larry refuses
    because of her recent stroke.
    Andrew brought Megan this little fake bird that chirps.  Megan told
    him she needs to talk to Jake.
    Blair is still playing this little "hard to get" game with Max.
    Leanne told Luna she's pregnant, doesn't know who the daddy is, and
    also swore her to secrecy.
    
    That's really about all there was.
    
    Marie

    Dorian finally tracked down Jason and told him what a wonderful time
    she had with him while stroking his hand.  Jason then told Dorian that
    if she thought he was going to make himself over for her, she's crazy. 
    Then he warmed up to her when she said she wouldn't change a thing.
    
    Wanda and Jason had an arguement about where he got the money to buy a
    new motorcycle.  He didn't tell her that Dorian bought it for him.  She
    thinks he may have stolen the money.  He told her that he traded his
    bike in for a new one.
    
    As Marie said, fairly uneventful.
    
    Cheryl
    

    Oops.... I had forgotten about that.  Also, Tina told Bo off about
    having two wives and how he should support Sarah if she was able to
    donate a kidney.  Sarah told Bo she was starting divorce proceedings.
    Bo seemed upset and Sarah told him he can't have it both ways.
    
    Marie

    I have a couple of OLTL questions too, and I seldom get to watch the show.

    1)  Is Jason related to Wanda?  Or to anyone on the show?

    2)  I saw a commercial for OLTL which showed Max dancing with and kissing
	a woman with long black hair.  Is this Blair?  Is she oriental?  I
	didn't get a very good look at her.  It's just nice to be able to
	put a real face with the updates in the notes.

    Thanks!

    - Diane

    1)  Is Jason related to Wanda?
    
    Yes, he's her nephew (her brothers son).
    
    2)  I saw a commercial for OLTL which showed Max dancing with and
    kissing a woman with long black hair.  Is this Blair?
    
    Yes.
    
    Is she oriental?
    
    I have a feeling she's part oriental.  She looks it and she did end up
    going to Japan with Cord because she knew Japanese.
    
    Marie

    1.  Yes, Jason is Wanda's nephew.  Wanda and Jason's mother were
    sisters.
    
    2.  Yes, that was Blair and she is Oriental.  But her mother doesn't
    appear to be.
    
    Another happening yesterday, Sarah is really downing those
    tranquilizers.  She took another one just after she spoke with Bo.
    
    Cheryl

    Marie, I saw your reply.  You are right and I am wrong.  Jason's father
    and Wanda were brother and sister.  I guess all the talk when Jason's
    mother remarried that awful man made me think they were sisters.
    
    Cheryl

    Cheryl.... we must have been typing at the same time.
    
    I thought Wanda and Jason's father were brother and sister?  Wanda's
    name was Webb before she got married.  Supposedly his trouble all
    started when his father died and his mother remarried.
    
    Marie

    O.K. now...cut it out....  ;^)
    
    Marie

    OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Talk about notes collision!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Cheryl

    When Blair first arrived on the show, Luna had a bad feeling about 
    her aura (sp).  She tries to play it off like she had a hard life,
    but I think maybe she really didn't.  The scene with her and Max in 
    the stables was totally stupid. He helped her take off her boots and it
    was supposed to be "romantic".  Ha ha, yeah right.  He pulled off a
    boot and she acted almost like it was orgasmic or something.  
     
    I don't like her either and I definitely don't like her with 
    Max.  I agree - NO CHEMISTRY! 
    
    Also, it's kinda stupid how all these woman are in love with Max and 
    all these men are in love with Leanne.  
    
    And to add my opinion to the show's beginning - IT STINKS!  When I
    first saw it I thought to myself, "what is this, a stupid new perfume
    or champagne commercial??"  Then I realized..oh brother..lame..totally! 
    
    
    Julie

    can someone give me some insight to blair's mom and when all you figured
    out who this person was in her apartment?  thanks a million
    
    
    
    
    cj
    

    I can't remember the circumstances but Blair called this woman hidden
    away in her apartment her mother (when they were alone).  Cassie is the
    only one who knows she's there and Blair told Cassie she was a relative
    visiting from out of town.  We still have no idea what the story line
    is, what's wrong with her mother, and what Blair is up to.  We have
    pretty much figured out by what's been said that Blair is lying about
    her past.  I think she grew up with money and she's been telling
    everyone she grew up in poverty.  She almost let it slip out when she
    started talking about horseback riding.
    
    Marie
    
    p.s.  I have no update for Wednesday yet.  It's my volunteer night so I
    won't see the tape until tonight.

    Since I'm not a "regular" of OLTL, just watch now and again when home,
    I assumed Blair's mother was a victim of Alzheimer's desease while
    watching during my vaction.  Since I had never seen Blair on the show
    before, except in ads (the one where Cord falls off the cliff), I also
    assumed she was a new character....btw: I think she is very pretty, but
    didn't like her with Max, of course, I don't particularly like this
    Max.

    
    I read somewhere that the woman playing Blairs mother is actually
    Dorian Lord' older sister who supposedly is just as wacko as her
    younger sister Melinda.
    
    I don't remember where I read this but the story should be coming
    out in the next few weeks.
    
    j

    That figures... a mysterious sister who has never been mentioned
    before.  Actually I've felt all along that Blair has some connection to
    Dorian and Cassie.
    
    Marie

    
    Dorian has mentioned before that she had another relative that went
    crazy besides Melinda.  That's why it was really worrying her when
    Cassie was playing that mental breakdown scene.  
    
    Julie

    I do remember when Cassie was playing crazy that Dorian said something
    about another crazy relative.  We just didn't realize she mean't
    another sister.
    
    Update...
    
    Vicki bullies the transplant surgeon into testing her for
    compatability.  She was a match and intends to donate her kidney. 
    Larry doesn't know any of this yet.  She told Clint she is donating.
    He was upset but agreed when Vicki said "if you could have done
    anything to save Cord, wouldn't you have?".
    Blair was talking to her mother (she kept calling her Mama) about Max.
    Cassie came to visit and Blair was surprised that Cassie was so nice to
    her mother.   Cassie still believes she is just some relative of Blair
    who is only staying for a short time.  Blair asked Cass about Max and
    she told her that Max had it all but gave it up after finding out about
    what Asa did to his family.  Blair isn't happy because she needs a man
    with money, not big dreams.
    Andrew admitted to Vicki that he's in love with Megan.
    Cain took the money he got from investing for Asa and transfered it to
    a swiss bank account.  In the meantime Asa got a picture of the guy who
    stole his wallet and charged clothes, etc. (Cain of course).  Cain
    showed up at the hospital and told Asa he put the money in a Swiss bank
    account and gave him the number.  Asa gave him a chance to come clean
    about stealing his wallet but he didn't.  Asa gave Cain his cut of the 
    profits minus the money he stole.
    Leanne talked to Kevin about marriage and kids.  Kevin said he didn't
    want kids for "10 years", and they should enjoy eachother first. 
    Leanne decided to have an abortion.  She left the brochure from the
    clinic near the phone.  Jason found it and asked another waitress if
    she had lost it.  She said it was for an abortion clinic and wasn't
    hers.  Jason, who can't read, got all upset.  He tore off the address
    (pretty unrealistic - since he can't read how did he know it was the
    address?) and took it to Max and Luna who were sitting at a table. 
    Max gave him directions and he ran off to stop Leanne.
    Wanda is all upset after finding new suits in Jason's closet.  She was
    putting his laundry away when she found the suits.  Along with the new
    motorcycle she thinks he's into some kind of trouble.  Wait 'till she
    finds out the trouble is Dorian!!
    Max planted the coins on his land so Asa would believe there is burried
    treasure on the land and it looks like he's about to pass the
    information to Asa through Cain.
    
    That's about all I can remember.
    
    Marie
    it along to Asa through

    Upcoming News:
    
    
    Viki and Megan make is through the transplant surgery.  
    
    Blair and Cain see each other as rivals for Asa's favor.
    
    Now that Lee Ann has decided not to go through with the abortion, Jason
    wants to comfort her.  But he's hurt and mor that a bit jealous when
    Lee Ann says she wants to be alone, then calls Kevin.  When Kevin
    continues to pressure Lee Ann to marry him, she confesses she's
    pregnant!
    
    Meanwhile, Jason and Dorian make love.
    
    The minute Viki comes out of recovery, Kevin's there to tells her that
    he and Lee Ann are engaged.
    
    By now, Lee Ann has written Kevin a note, saying she can't marry him
    because she's carrying Max's baby.  Once again, Jason tries to comfort
    Lee Ann, but just like before she rejects him.  Later, Jason steals the
    letter, although he can't read it.
    
    Next week:  Asa likes the looks of Blair.  Kevin is crying the blues.
    
    Next week:  Monica and Bobbie try to cope with their guilt.

    So like, who the hell are Monica & Bobbie?!!?  I'm a faithful OLTL fan
    who prior to now has only been keeping up with the AMC Note
    file..however, I knew about most of what I'd read here...except these
    last 2 mentioned characters...Help me out on this folks..Thanx

    Whoops, ignore that part.  I copied a note I wrote in GH.
    
    Cheryl

    I've seen bits and pieces during the last two days. I'll try to make
    some sense out of them.
    
    Vicky and Megan had the surgery.  Megan is fine, but Vicky is having
    some problems.  Sheila went to inform the family, Clint get's very
    upset.  LeeAnn goes to have an abortion, but is having second thoughts,
    the nurse tells her that she has to be sure that this is what she wants
    to do.  We then see LeeAnn getting dressed and leaving the clinic. 
    It's obvious she decided not to have an abortion.
    
    Cain goes to the stables and run into Blair, he tries to get
    information about ther connection to the Buchanans but she is
    not giving him any, she is trying to find out what's his connection
    with Asa.
    
    LeeAnn tell Kevin that she is pregnant, he is very happy, starts making
    plans for them, then he looks at her and asks if the baby is his.
    She looks away.  Then she tells him, she can't believe he would ask
    that, she agrees to marry him, but she doesn't want the Buchanans to
    know she is pregnant.  he can't understand why, she tells him that
    she wants them to accept her for herself not for the baby.  He agrees.
    
    Max, Luna, Blair, and Cassie are having lunch at the Buchanan Palace
    when in comes Asa with Cain and the horse trainer.  Blair immediately
    gets up and goes to his table and once again thanks him for letting
    her ride the horses. (I think she managed to get an invitation to
    see a horse they are training).  Cassie comes to say hello to 
    her father-in-law, she says she has to go back to the paper. 
    
    Max is mistified looking at Blair, Luna tells him to forget that woman
    because she is trouble.  She tells him he won't be able to  accomplish 
    his goal if he keeps thinking of her.  He tells her he will have both
    Serenity and Blair, and that she (Luna) is going to help him.  All of
    a ssudden he get a call from Joe, who says he is getting rid of some
    stuff at the ranch and is sending Max his carvings.  Max senses the
    is a problem and gets up to go to Sweetwater, Luna follows.
    
    

    i got the episodes magazine and they have an article about leeann in
    there.  she is a model, and is simply gorgeous in the photos.  seems
    that she has had quite the life.  lived in rio for a year when her
    parents split and she was around nine or ten.  then, she vacationed in
    paris with her grandparents alot.  her mom was a model and she was
    doing since she was a baby and traveled all over for it.  then, when
    she went into acting and was on ryan's hope she quit.  i am not sure if
    she is doing it again or not.  i also remember reading somewhere that
    some famous guy was dating her.  anyways...
    
    anyone seen the show lately?

    I could have sworn that Leanne (whatever her real name is) was at the 
    SOD awards with some guy from one of those OTHER soaps (NBC/CBS??).
    He won some award...can't remember who or which.  I didn't pay much
    attention unless an ABC person won.  He was very handsome though.

    Oops.... also, the update for Monday and Tuesday's shows are a couple
    of notes back (18.941).
    

    She was with Ricky Paull Godin (SP).  She's been seeing him and was
    sitting at the Another World table.  No one else from OLTL was there
    and the only one from Loving was Susan Keith, who presented an award
    with her hubby James Kiberd.

    We should be seeing the new DA, Hank Gannon in a couple of weeks, he
    started taping yesterday.
    
    Joe Lando (Jake) will be back for a few episodes to rap up the
    Megan/Lupus story. Jesica Tuck (megan) last air date is Feb 10.

    With Megan getting so much better I almost wondered if Jessica Tuck had
    changed her mind about leaving.  I wonder if they'll kill her off or if
    she and Jake will leave town (leaving poor Andrew broken hearted).
    
    Quick update for Wed.
    
    Jason and Dorian finish their romp between the sheets and Dorian gives
    Jason a "state of the art" camera to take pictures of some socialite
    who's cheating on her husband with some lowlife.  Luna and Jon just
    happen to be at the same bar.  They don't know what's going on but Luna
    see's Jason buy something (a choker) and thinks it's drugs.
    Megan met some young woman who's supposed to be a rich brat.  She and
    Vicki find out later the young woman also has Lupis.
    Kevin and Leanne went to see Vicki with the news of their engagement
    and she's not happy.  Leanne left the hospital and went to her mothers
    grave.  She says "I can't marry Kevin until I tell him the truth...this
    is Max's baby".  Someone slap her...she hope's it is Max's baby.  She
    doesn't know for sure.
    
    Gotta run
    
    Marie

    Well, looks like Megan will die around Feb 10.  But, to keep giving the
    message that Lupus is manageable, the person, Marty, who they
    introduced Wednesday as a new Lupus patient, will go into remission and
    become a main character.
    
    Cheryl

    
    UPCOMING NEWS
    
    Although the sparks continue to fly between Maz and Blair, that doesn't
    prevent Max and Luna from working their scam on Asa and Cain.
    
    Marty, a bitter Lupus patient, snorts with disgust when she see the way
    Andrew fusses ove Megan.
    
    Jason gets more and more frustrated over his inability to read. Of
    course, making wid passionate love to Dorian does make him feel better.
    
    Blair's mother, Addie, goes off the deep end at the mere mention of
    Dorian's name.
    
    Bo goes to see Alex when she says she has information on Carlo and
    Sarah.

    did anyone catch thursday or friday's show? 
    
    thanks much if you can enter an update!!!!!

         This Saturday is the ABC_SOAPS file --> one year anniversary! (^%
    
        To commemorate our first Birthday we are calling all noters across
        the country  --> to post a note this week!
    
        --dc/Valmont!

    What's been happening...
    
    Asa bought the story about hidden treasure on Max's land and bought the
    property for $125,000.  Just after that Max got a call that the loan
    against Joe Hawk's property (formerly the Holden ranch) is due...and
    just happens to be $125,000.  Max ran into Blair at the stables again
    and she made some comment about Asa's new race horse - Copper Beach.
    Max is convinced he should be the money on the 15 to 1 odds because he
    and Luna hid the "treasure" under a copper beach tree.  Blair still
    won't have anything to do with Max because he's not rich.
    Blair was offered a job by Dorian to work at the Intruder.  She was
    talking to Dorian on the phone and said "thanks Dorian" and when
    Blairs mother heard "Dorian" she went bezerk...throwing things around,
    etc. and screaming "Dorian".
    Jason has the letter Leanne left for Kevin telling him the baby is
    Max's (her wishful thinking) and she's leaving town.  Since he can't
    read the letter he has no idea what's going on.  Kevin tracked Leanne
    to the bus station and tried to stop her from leaving.  She got on the
    bus anyway.  Just then Jason showed up and started screaming at Kevin
    for "letting" her leave.
    Bo went to see Alex.  She told him that Carlo thinks Sarah has
    something on him and that's why she was kidnapped and held for so long.
    Alex didn't know if Sarah really knew something about Carlo or if
    Porter jsut made it up.
    Andrew got a visit from the Bishop about his feelings for Megan.  They
    talked and Andrew said he could handle it.  Andrew went to the hospital
    to visit Megan and was his usual attentive self.  The new patient got
    all upset and was banging things around and slamming doors.  She
    doesn't get any visitors and is upset with all of the attention Megan
    gets.  She made some comment to Megan about it must be nice to have a
    boyfriend jump to your every command.  Megan said Andrew "is not my
    boyfriend" and the new girl said "well, he's in love with you".
    Oh yes, and the other day (Friday maybe?) Blair tried to seduce Asa. 
    He ended up leaving her place before she could get her hooks into him
    but he bought every piece of jewelery she made.
    
    Gotta go.
    
    Marie

    
    Happy Anniversary file/noters!  The closet was gathering some dust
    recently, so I am out for air.
    
      
    Partly an update:
    
    
    Cain and Asa are frantically digging for coins.  It seems a bit
    strange that for a man with all of Asa's money and supposed
    intelligence, that he would be out in the middle of a winter night-
    trying to dig through frozen ground with a little hand shovel.  
    Come on Asa!  Have you lost your style?  Where is the bull dozer and
    the flood lights?!   
    
    Anyway, they dig and bicker at each other, and finally hit something.
    THUDDD.  It turns out to be a bag of regular ole pennies!  Asa is
    ~~ ticked off ~~... He finally gets Cain to go through the whole
    set up.  He figures out it was John that Cain overhead Luna talking
    to about the hidden treasure.  The connection is made - Asa has been 
    set up by the MAX gang.
    
    Jason went to see Dorian and said he decided to take up her offer to
    live (?) with her.  GEEZ I don't remember that - but then again I find
    this relationship SICKO, MONDO!  He wants her to teach him how to
    make it in the big time and live the 'penthouse style'.  I guess since
    he can't read, he doesn't that Dorian is the black queen of that sleaze 
    rag,  "The Intruder"
    
    Meanwhile, buzy body Wanda is talking to someone (Sheila I think) about
    someone she thinks might have a drug problem.  What are the signs, etc.
    Wanda keep saying "her" then "him" so who know if she was referring to
    Leeann and her moods changes, or Jason and all the big bucks and new
    toys...    Just wait til she finds out about Dorian! She'll have a
    heart attack for sure..
    
    Blair's mother finally speaks!  She confirms theories about Dorian
    locking her in a nuthouse.  She freak out and starts messing up the
    place.  Just then Cassie arrives and wants to know what in the hell is
    going on.   She can see there is trouble with Blair's "relative" and
    says "maybe she should be in an institution".   I kind of ignored the
    rest of this scene.
    
    Andrew is pushing Megan to recover.  She seems to be getting ever so
    slightly stronger and has accepted her new kidney.  I guess they have 
    to make something pretty bad go wrong if she only has a couple weeks
    left on the show....
     
    
    

    
    Thanks for today's update.  Glad you made it out of the "closet".

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ABC_SOAP AND THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE KEPT
    UPDATING OLTL.
    

    
    
       re -1
    
       I'll second that!  Thanks !
    
         Sue
    

    I'm surprised none of you had talked about the week of shows OLTL is
    planning.  I'm thinking I just might record the shows to understand
    what went on years ago.  I would love a chance to see Judith Light in
    this show, I understand she was fantastic and won 3 Emmies will
    appearing on OLTL.

    Time for a ver quick update.
    
    Andrew is off to a religious retreat to put distance between him and
    Megan.  She's not happy...since she wants him, but not really, but
    does.  
    Bo is very concerned about Sarah which is upsetting Wimpy...I mean
    Cassie.  Bo is worried that Sarah knows something about Carlo but can't
    remember what.  Sarah went to see the doctor and he had his office set
    up with dozens of white roses.  Sarah got really upset and was
    hysterical.  They did the word association game and when he said white
    roses she said "scarecrow" but has no idea why.
    Max and Luna ran into Cain, Asa, and Blair at the track.  After hurling
    insults at eachother Max told Asa they had bet on his horse "Copper
    beach".  Asa laughed saying the horse was no good.  Copper Beach won
    the race with odds 25 to 1.
    Alex summoned Bo to the prison again saying she remembered more info
    about Sarah and Carlo.
    Jason is moving in with Dorian.  Kevin is still looking for the letter
    from Leanne.  Wanda thinks Jason is selling/taking drugs.
    
    Gotta run,
    
    Marie

    Upcoming News:
    
    The Buchanan clan draws together when it's confirmed that Megan's body
    is rejecting the kidney.  When Viki informs Andrews that Megan is
    getting worse, Andrew comes home long enough to tell Megan that he is
    going to the Middle East to bring Jack back to her.  
    
    Alex tells D.A. Hank Gannon that she's ready to cut a deal that will
    put Carlo Hesser away for a lot of years, but only if she is granted
    immunity.
    
    Wanda is happy to discover that Jason isn't on drugs, but not happy to
    hear he's living with Dorian.
    
    Andrew finds Jack, but before he can get Jack back home, they are taken
    prisoner.  
    
    Jason decides to search for Lee Ann in New York.
    
    Blair begins working for Dorian.  (Note:  I wonder if Addie is really
    Melinda.  Did anyone hear her ask for a piano last week.  Melinda was a
    concert pianist!!)
    
    Megan slips in and out of consciousness.
    
    Next:  Viki prays for another miracle.  Wanda and Dorian have words.
    
    Cheryl

    WHO IS MELINDA? I TAKE IT ADDIE IS DORIANS SISTER --WAS SHE EVER PART
    OF THE SHOW? 

    re: -1
    
    I'll take your question to the history file.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Here are a few tid-bits I remember from either Thurs or Fri.
    
    Megan is trying to get in touch with Andrew and is getting very
    upset.  Vicky is standing at the door listening.
    Vicky is concerened with Megan getting so upset over a "friend"
    and the way I saw it she almost seemed to be trying to get Megan
    to admit her true feelings for Andrew.  Didn't Andrew admit to
    Vicky he was in love with Megan?   While Vicky is trying to get
    Megan to open up, Megan leans over in pain, she then says she's
    okay and after a few minutes when she's getting back in bed the
    pain comes again, Vicky leaves to get some help and they change
    locations to where Andrew is,  Andrew is sleeping and he wakes 
    up and is holding his back too!  I think at that point he called
    Megan's name.?  
    
    The sceen in the bar with Jason, Dorian and Wanda was great!
    Luna notices Jason sitting in the bar and figures he going to
    meet his so called "connections"  so she calls Wanda and lets
    her know where Jason it.   While Luna is trying to keep tabs 
    on Jason,  John appears, they get caught up in eachother and 
    Dorian appears dressed in a long coat and glasses, looks very
    out of place.  As they start to talk this girl walks by with
    this wild outfit on, Jason is checking her out and Dorian pulls
    his face back to look at her, they talk about why Dorian is 
    dressed the way she is and then she says she'll be right back
    you can kinda guess by this time that she is going to go get
    that outfit from the girl.   In the mean time Wanda gets there
    and Luna points to where Jason is sitting Wanda goes over to the
    table and starts on Jason, about how she knows how rough it is and
    what he's up to etc.. its funny, after her going on for about 5
    minutes Dorian walks in not realizing who is with Jason and presents
    herself in this new outfit!  The looks on their faces was priceless!
    
    That's about all I can remember. 
    
    Noreen

    The next scene:  JAson tell Wanda that he is living with
    Dorian.  Wanda and Dorian start arguing and end up fighting.
    It was very funny.
    

Wanda is shocked to find out that Jason and Dorian are living together.  (The 
whole incident was hysterical...I haven't laughed that hard in ages watching
this show.)  Dorian was standing there looking sheepish while Wanda went on and
on.  Luna stood in the background just opening and closing her mouth while
Jon was nowhere to be seen (wonder where he disappeared to).  Wanda was so
upset when she found out that Jason and Dorian were living together that
she bluntly stated that she would rather he be on drugs.  Dorian kept trying
to defend herself, but Wanda kept digging into her accusing her of ruining
everyone's life whoever came in contact with her.  Luna and Jason finally get
Wanda calmed down and Luna drags Wanda off.  Dorian is a bit concerned that 
now everyone knows about her and Jason.

Megan comes to briefly and asks for Jake and when Viki tells her that Jake is
not there, Megan starts asking for Andrew.  She falls back into unconsciousness
and Larry asks Viki to step out into the hallway.  There he tells her that
they are having a difficult time finding a kidney for Megan.  There is a long
waiting list in front of her and given the complications created by the lupus,
it will be nearly impossible to find her one in time.  He suggests to Viki that
when Megan comes to, that she advise her to get her affairs in order.  Viki
refuses to believe that Megan is going to die.

Asa arrives at the hospital waiting room and starts his usual Asa BS.  Bo 
jumps all over him and they exchange a few barbs before Clint calms them
both down and they apologize to each other.  When Asa asks Clint how Megan
is doing, Clint tells him that it doesn't look good that Megan may die.  Just
them Sara walks in and gets angry with them, telling them that Megan is NOT
going to die.  Bo calms her down and comforts her.  Viki comes in quite upset
and asks Clint to take her out for a walk.  

When Viki and Clint return from their walk, Kevin shows up at the hospital.
Clint goes off to get something to eat and Viki brings Kevin up to date
on Megan's condition.  Viki tells Kevin to go after LeeAnn and find her.
He is surprised, but Viki is insistant.  She asks he to go first and look
for his father and check in on him.  She is worried about him.  Kevin goes
off to find his father.  He finds Asa, Bo and Clint in the waiting room playing
basketball with paper wads and a wastebasket.  He gets a little upset at seeing
them fooling around until they explain to him that they are doing it to relieve
some of the tension.  He joins in in the basketball game.

Sara comes by later and Bo asks if she went in to see Megan.  She tells him that
she cannot bring herself to go in.  Bo offers to take her home.  She takes him
up on his offer.  When they get to Megan's, he tells her to lie down and rest.
He covers her up with an afghan and waits around until he thinks she is asleep.
When he starts to leave, she opens her eyes and asks where he is going.  He 
tells her that he thought she was asleep.  She tells him that she would really
rather not be alone tonight and he agrees to stay with her.  (He didn't call
Cassie to tell her either ;^)

Viki calls frantically to the rectory and demands to find out where Andrew
is stating that it is an emergency.

While Asa is at the hospital, Cain is breaking into Renee's bureau and looking
for incriminating evidence he can use against the Buchanan's. He finds her
diary and starts reading through it.  He finds some stuff that he can use and
puts back the diary stating that when he needs the diary, he will come back
and get it.

Max keeps asking Blair why she won't tell people about her mother.  She refuses
to answer any of her questions.  He talks very nicely to her mother and even
gives her the flowers he had brought for Blair.  She is very pleased with the
flowers and goes to put them in water.  When she comes back, Max suggests they
all go for a walk in the park.  Blair protests that it is too dark.  Even 
though Max assures her there are plenty of lights, Blair steadfastly refuses.
She rushes her mother off to bed even though it is only 7.  When she returns
Max wants to know why she keeps her mother hidden like that.  Blair refuses
to answer any of his questions and tells him emphatically that she is taking
good care of her mother.  Max tells her that he will be back, and that one
of these days, he will be taking her mother out to the park whether she (Blair)
likes it or not.

    That scene was very funny!  Wanda said "I'd rather you were on drugs!".
    They are starting to show lots of commercials for next week.  Some of
    the regulars talking about Megan.  I'm really getting excited about
    next week now.
    
    Monday...
    
    Alex called a meeting with the D.A. to tell him she's been "playing"
    crazy all this time.  He finally believed her and said "it's off to
    Statesville".  She said she'd trade info on Carlo for being released
    on the charges that she tried to kill Cassie.
    Megan is regecting the kidney.  They can't find another donor and Megan
    isn't at the top of the list because of her bad condition.  She asks
    for Jake and Andrew.  Vicki called the church to ask how to reach
    Andrew and explains it is an emergency.
    Max met Blair's mother and gave her the flowers he had brought for
    Blair.  Addie really likes Max and he say's "let's go to the park. 
    Your mother is too pretty to be locked up in this place".  Blair sent
    her mother to her room and blasted Max for interfering.
    Cain broke into Rene's dresser and read her diary.  He plans to use the
    information later somehow and was pretty excited to find the diary.
    Vicki did a GREAT acting job yesterday.  I just know I'm going to cry
    through all next week.
    
    Marie

    wow, i thought i would come in and update monday's show and low and
    behold, there are already two updates.  
    
    i was in tears yesterday as i watched the scenes with megan and the
    scenes with bo and sarah.  at first when i was watching the show i
    thought the acting was terrible.  max's acting is not the best.  IMHO,
    i thought the other one was a better actor.  of course max is nice to
    look at it but... its very obvious he already knows that.  and then, as
    the show went on, i found that asa, bo and clint acted their scenes
    very well.  i also loved the scene with jason, dorian and wanda.  she
    didn't have a heart attack which was a big surprize.  i still think
    that blair and max have nothing and also luna and max.  just doesn't
    fit.  they need someone new for him.  maybe sarah?
    
    just IMHO, of course,
    
    cj
    
                  

    
    Hi!  I've been seeing all the previews for next week and it's got me so
    curious that I've already decided to tape the whole week. 
    
    I'm wondering tho... does anyone have any idea what this is all about
    (besides an effort to boost ratings)?  I mean, why go back?  Don't get
    me wrong, I think the idea is kinda neat ---> but I just don't get it!
    
    Tell me:  Are Jason and Dorian REALLY "doing it?"  That's kinda gross!
    Do they kiss and stuff on the show?  UGH!
    
    I never thought Jason was cute from watching the show (he always looks
    a little grungey) but when I saw him as the "CENTERFOLD" in EPISODES...
    I changed my mind!  He's got beautiful eyes, and great hair!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Hi CJ!
    
    --Steph
    

    Hi Steph,
    
    Reason #1, maybe it is because of Megan's pending death by kidney 
    rejection.  Although, she wasn't really around for some of the scenes 
    I saw on the preview.  Especially if they go back as far as when Judith 
    Light played Karen.  Unless Vicki and the rest of the group are going 
    to reminisce while she is dying.  Isn't she due to be off the show by 
    some time around the 10th of Feb.
    
    Reason #2, sweeps week.  Maybe since the show has been dragging they're
    hoping to pull people back to it by showing all those scenes from the
    past.  The long time viewers will get a blast from the past and the
    newer viewers will get a history infusion.
    
    Jan

    Hi guys (gals!!)
    
    Jan's reason are correct, but also too, they want to get people
    watching again.  Vicki, Max and Jake (plus others, I think) will be
    reminiscing about the past, talking to Megan while she's in a coma.  I
    can't wait to see the scenes with Karen and Marco.  Should be good!!!
    
    Cheryl

    
    
        
            Steph, I was wondering what you do with your copy of
    Eposodes when you're done with it??????? I"d like to know if
    I could at least see it & give it back?????? I watch OLTL now
    because of Jason...... Man I like that dude...... I can name

         I wish he wasn't with Dorian but, it is a funny storyline
    anyways & he's always good to look at no matter who he's with....
    Good thing I ain't on that show cause I'd write my own script
    with him in it...... 
         Well if anyone can send it my way when they're done with
    it I would realy appriciate it ferrrrrrrrrrr shurrrrrrrrrrrre!!!!
    Thanx in advance to anyone that'll contribute to my lust for
    Jason......
    
    
    
                       ***** Deadhead Lefty *****
    
    
    
    
    

    
    Jan & Cheryl ---> Thanks DUDES!!  I was wondering how they were planning 
    to make the past and the present "jive."  You guys are good!!!  :-)
    
    Deadhead Lefty ---> I'd be HAPPY to send you my copy of EPISODES (as long 
    as ya' send it back). I don't have it with me today, but will write myself
    a note tonight to remember it tomorrow.  You should have it by early next 
    week!
    
    Cheers!
    --Steph
    

    Any updates???
    

    
    Partial update:
    
    
    
    Andrew is in Jaba city trying to find a way to get Jake out.  Somehow
    - only in the soaps - Andrew meets this guy who tells him who is really 
    behind Jake's imprisonment -  general somebody or other.  OF COURSE,
    - again only in the soaps- it just so happens that Andrew's father was 
    also a big time military man who knew this General.   The General agrees 
    to meet with Andrew.  I missed the rest of this part...
    
    Back at Blair's, she is refusing to let Max in her apartment.  He
    apologizes for taking Addie out, and says he won't leave until she
    opens the door... she does.  He gets her to spill the story about
    Addie.  Addie's parents put her in a mental institution when she was a
    child- believing she was schizophrenic.  She stayed in the institution
    for years and years, even after her parents died.  Blair's father 
    was a hospital attendant of some kind who use to go into Addies room at
    ngih for games and then punishment ("what ever he wanted").  
    Oy vey!  By the time the hospital found out Addie was pregnant, the
    father was gone..... An opening for yet another one of these
    far-fetched story lines.  Anyway, Blair was sent off to foster homes
    where she was abused and mistreated by foster fathers who had a few
    too many.  When she turned 15 she left and began searching for her real
    mother... she found her and got her out.   Now, just how is this going
    to be connected to Dorian???? 
    
    Megan is deteriorating fast....
    
    Leeann called Luna and gave her a post office box address where she
    can be written to in New York.  Leeann said she is working in a 
    restaurant.  Kevin overheard Luna saying good-bye Leeann  and got
    really upset that Luna didn't let him talk or even get a number to call
    her back.   Kevin is determined to find her if he has to look in every
    hotel/motel or restaurant in New York.  Jason said he'll find her in
    his "own way".

    UPCOMING NEWS
    
    Vicki, Clint,Bo, Asa, and Max take Megan down memory lane in a
    desperate attempt to help her hold onto life.
    
    Deciding honesty is the best policy, Andrew tells Jake about Megan's
    illness, Jake flips out demanding to be released. When that doesn't
    work, Jake and Andrew escape. Luckily, they succeed and soon find
    themselves back home.
    
    Although Megan is on her death bed she manages to hold on until Jake
    arrives. 
    After sharing a tearful reunion, then goodbye with Megan, a grieving
    Jake replants the tree from their wedding outside Megan's hospital room
    window.
    When Jake returns to Megan she collapes in his arms.

    
    Schedule for this weeks flash backs
    
    Tues---  The romance between Max and Megan and Max and Gab.
    
    Wed---   The early days of the Buchanans in Llanview
    
    Thurs--- The history of Viki/Niki how it happened and the many
    recurrences
    
    Fri----  The romance of Jake and Megan---Megan says good bye.

    Yesterday's show was great!  The flashbacks so far have been Vicki
    telling Megan about the past.  She explained how she and Clint first
    met when she was married to Joe Riley (sp?) and they showed old clips.
    Vicki looks pretty much the same as always but I had forgotten how
    young Clint looked then...and the clothes!  wow...  Then Larry came
    into the room and asked what they were doing.  Vicki explained that
    they were going down "memory lane" and Larry made some comment about
    staying away from memory lane because most of his memories were bad.
    Megan asked what he meant and Vicki told her about finding out that
    Karen was a prostitute for Marco Dane while married to Larry and about
    being on trial for his murder.  They showed lots of old clips from the
    trial and when it came out in court that Karen was a prostitute.
    They also showed Jake and Andrew talking in the prison.  Jake thought
    that Andrew was part of the "bad guys".  Andrew came up with a lot of
    information about Megan that only she would have known.  Jake figured
    out that Andrew is in love with Megan but Andrew assured him that they
    are just friends.  The show ended with Andrew telling Jake that Megan was 
    in really bad shape and may die.  Jake went nuts and started throwing 
    chairs and pounding on the door.  
    Also, Clint and Larry got Vicki to take a break but she only agreed
    because Max was there and promised to stay with Megan until he got
    back.  It looked like it was a lead in for today when Max will remember
    when he and Megan were together and Max ended up back with Gabrielle.
    
    Marie  

    Tuesday was another good show.  In my opinion not as good as the day
    before though.
    Jake and Andrew found an escape panel and just as they were about to 
    escape the General stopped them.
    Max remembered with Megan the time they met, etc.  I had forgotten one
    thing that was now really funny to me.  The time Max dressed up like a
    chauffer to take Megan to a photo shoot that didn't really exist.  He
    was talking to her in a french accent and said "I know you from a
    soap".  Megan was all impressed and said "why, yes, I am on a soap".
    Max said "I know!!! You're Natalie from AMC!".  It struck me really
    finny this time around.  Anyway, Clint and Bo came into the room and
    started to tell her about when the Buchanons came to town which was the
    lead-in to today's show.
    
    Marie

    Just a short update from yesterdays show:
    
    Again the focus was on Megan and drawing strength from the stories that
    seem to relax her..Max paid a touching role yesterday recalling the
    many hot and as he put it "sparking" moments to their relationship.
    The time Megan decked him w/the boxing gloves, the time he kidnapped
    her --- Then Megan recalled Maxs love for Gabreille (sp)..How he took
    her away from the convent --how max had to admit in court that he still
    loved Gabreille which I took as the end of the Max/Megan love affair.
    
    Bo came in to visit, he bought Megan the "Daisy" award she had won.
    they recalled then night she had won the award and what a fighter she
    was ..Megan started crying -- bo asked her if there was anything he
    could get her and she could only whisper "Jake".. Max was so upset he
    had to leave the room -- he was going to try and find out the status
    on Andrew and Jake..
    
    			Jaba City
    
    Now Jake and Andrew have found a way out of the cell. They found a 
    secret tunnel from the days of king richard..They make their way to 
    the far end of the tunnel, did thru rocks only to see sunlight and
    along comes Gazi..What a set up..It ended yesterday w/Jake and Andrew
    being held at gun point..I felt so sorry for them..
    
    Back in LV : Megan is slipping fast..Viki has had to take a rest, she
    spent days telling megan all of her stories from the past....
    
    I think today is Asa's turn to walk Megan down memory lane..His version
    should be quite interesting..
    
    I don't think I missed any of the important points..
    

    
    You guys are all GREAT!!!!  I enjoyed reading your updates/reviews of
    the walk down memory lane. I'm taping all this week but haven't had 
    the chance yet to sit down and watch.  Tonight for sure!
    
    I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing Gabrielle again.  She was always
    my favorite!
    
    It must be really hard to Jessica Tuck (Megan) to be playing these 
    scenes.  I mean, it's like watching your life flash before your eyes
    really. It's probably bringing up all kinds of scenes and storylines
    she may have forgotten about, and I'm sure with every old scene there
    is a personal special little memory that goes with it, i.e. bloopers
    and stuff.
    
    Deadhead Lefty ---> I didn't forget ya'!  I have EPISODES with me today
    and will put it in the mail PRONTO!!
    
    Cheers!

    I watched yesterdays show and I have to say, it was pretty sad.  I
    think Meghan is doing a great job.  Boy does she ever look sick too!
    
    Anyway, Clint Asa and Bo are going down memory lane.  It's great to see
    this old footage.  God they were so much thinner than!!!  Anyway, we
    got to see Delilah, Olympia, Pam (Asa's previous wives), Brad Vernon
    (remember him), Mimi (I always felt bad for her) and a bunch of other
    people.
    
    Back in Jaba city the general is holding a gun on Jake and Andrew.
    Andrew also has a gun, but the general points his gun at Jake and tells
    Andrew to drop the gun or he'll shoot Jake.   Andrew points the gun
    down and the general say too bad and plans on shooting Jake anyway. 
    Well Andrew lifts the gun and shoots the general in the stomach.  Of
    course he is very upset and meanwhile the guard (who Jake knocked out
    earlier) wakes up and he and jake go at it.  Andrew is trying to save
    the general but the general pulls out a knife and stabs Andrew in his
    side.  Jake does not know and grabs Andrew and says lets get out of
    here.  They go to that bar to wait for their contact and Andrew looks
    pretty bad.  The contact shows up and tells them how they will take a
    boat to some port than a plane to portugal and then to NYC etc...  I
    don't think Andrew is going too far!!!  Anyway it ended with Jake and
    Andrew getting ready to leave the bar and Jake still not knowing about
    Andrews wound!
    
    Does anyone know if Andrew is supposed to die?  I hope not.
    
    Also, do you think there is any chance that Megan will pull through or
    is she definitely going to die on Friday?
    
    I'm sure there is more to yesterday, so if anyone wants to add, please
    do!!

    Thanks for that update.  I didn't get to watch yesterday's show yet.
    Sounds like a good one.
    
    Marie

    I just read in the SOD that Linda Gotlieb had to get permission from
    all the actors and actresses that have been shown in these clips.  She
    particulary noted that she had to contact all of Asa's wives that were
    shown yesterday.  Olympia, Sam, Delilia, Becky Lee, Pam were all shown
    in flashback of Asa proposing to them.  It was great to see Brad (the
    new one, not Jameson Parker) and Mimi.
    
    I was thinking the other day when they were showing the scene with
    Karen telling Vicki that she was a hooker, that Larry hasn't been shown
    in his own house in years, ever since he was married to Laurel.  He is
    alway shown in the hospital or in Llanfair, but never anyelse.  It just
    struck me strangely that he doesn't have a place to live!!!!
    
    Cheryl

    I really liked the new Brad but....I loved Jameson Parker as Brad.
    Even when he made the big time (watched him on Simon and Simon
    faithfully) I still remembered him as Brad.
    
    Marie

    
    Jessica Tuck is fantastic!!  I caught up on Monday and Tuesday's shows
    and she had me crying and crying and crying.  She DOES look sick... 
    they're doing a good job with her!
    
    I was thinking in watching all the Megan/Max flashbacks... she used to
    look so much better when she was playing the SOAP OPERA SNOB!  She wore
    make-up and dressed really cool.  Lately (before getting sick) she's
    been so drab.  Remember you guys were all calling her Dry Meg?  Well
    she was, but way back when she looked HOT!!
    
    It was so cool seeing Gab again!  I had forgotten how well Fiona could
    put on the waterworks.  That courtroom scene where Max admitted he was
    really still in love with her... she looked like HELL!!!  :-)
    
    Oh and the Karen Wolek (Judith Light) flashbacks were AWESOME!  She
    sure has one killer set of lungs.  When she was screaming on the stand
    in court she just about blew out the microphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It was strange to see 'cuz' on "Who's The Boss?" she hardly opens her
    mouth to speak.  I had forgotten the woman has teeth!  :-)  :-)
    
    Must've taken Linda Gotleib FOREVER to contact all those actors and 
    actresses to get their permission to show the clips.  Interesting piece
    of info Cheryl... Thanks!
    
    I have a question. I hope someone can answer it for me.
    
    Is the woman who plays Tim Allen's wife on HOME IMPROVEMENT the same
    woman who played Becky Lee Abbot on OLTL?  This has been driving me
    crazy forever and no-one seems to know.
    
    Thanks!
    --Steph
    

    Steph:
    
    I don't remember the person's name who played Becky Lee, but the woman
    on Home Improvement isn't her.
    
    This show really has me going down memory lane this week.  I was
    remembering so much.  I also wondered how they would show Bo and
    Sarah's romance.  Look's like they decided they couldn't, although if
    it were the same Sarah, they most certainly would have included those
    clips.
    
    Steph, I also agree with you about Megan.  She was great when she
    played a SNOB!!!! And, she is doing a great job with these scenes,
    especially when she breaths in really hard like she's been doing since
    Monday.
    
    Any one notice how Jake's bloody face and hands cleared up at the bar. 
    No bruises either!!
    
    Cheryl

    Question regarding Megan's dying.....has something other than her
    kidney failure developed (caused by the Lupis)?  The only reason I ask
    is because I know people who survive quite well on Diallysis (sp?) and
    have no kidney function at all.  Granted they spend 4 hours, 3 times
    per week on the machine, but they are living productive lives
    otherwise.

    What they are saying is that her immune system has been damaged by the
    lupis, the kidney has been rejected and she has developed a blood
    infection that she can't fight off.  They are giving her antibiotics
    but they don't see to be working.  Right now, she has a temp of 104.
    
    Cheryl

    I was able to get home to watch yesterday's show.
    
    It starts with Vicky in Megan's room.  Vicky is going on and on about
    the past.  Megan asks her about Nicki Smith, and Vicky is reluctant at
    first to talk about it.  Clint tells her to go ahead so she starts
    having flashbacks about Nicki (boring).
    
    Larry comes in later to examine Megan, Vicky and Clint leave the room. 
    Megan tells him to treat her like a regular patient and tell her the
    truth about her condition.  I think that he told her that things were
    not looking real good.  She asks him for a hug, and then he starts
    going down memory lane telling her that she was the first baby that he
    brought into this world and how beautiful she was and how she touched
    his heart when she first "cooed", etc. etc. (also boring).
    
    Meanwhile, we see Jake and Andrew at an airport (in the U.S. I presume).  
    Jake is an a pay phone trying to reach the hospital but is having problems 
    getting through. Andrew comes in holding his side and tells Jake that there
    flight has been delayed.  Jake flips out and Andrew gives him a credit 
    card and tells him to go rent a car.  Jake jumps up and tells Andrew to
    come on, of course Andrew is a bit hesitant and slow because he has a
    stab wound in his side.  Andrew follows him and they leave.
    
    Back in Megan's room the whole family has gathered as per Megan's
    request to say their fairwells.  Vicky walks in and asks what it going
    on, and Megan tells her not to interupt.  She starts with little Al and
    Tina it was a touching scene but none the less, boring.  Next comes
    Joey.  She tells him that he was the one that taught her how to laugh.
    Next comes the little girl (Joey's sister), can't remember her name.  And 
    then came Kevin.  Megan asks him where Leanne is and he says New York. 
    Megan asks him if her loves her and he says yes, she tells him to go
    and find her and fight for her, not to let their love go that it's to
    important.  Kevin wispers in her ear that Leanne is pregnant and not to
    tell Vicki.  Megan agrees and a tear comes out of her eye and she says
    that that will be her first neice.
    
    Jake and Andrew are on the road with their rental car.  A cop stops
    them and starts to hastle them about speeding or something.  Jake tells
    him what is going on and the cop says that he is going to check them
    out and radios a call in.  The cop comes back to the car and says that
    he can't let them go,  as Jake starts to flip the cop finishes by
    saying that he is  going to take them to the hospital in his cruiser.
    
    Megan is done saying good bye to everyone and then Sarah says, did you
    forget someone? (meaning her).  Tina takes everyone out of the room but
    Vicki stays.  Megan asks her to go so she can talk with Sarah.  Vicki
    does and they go through their little episode of how lucky Sarah is
    that she got a second chance at life and to take advantage of it, etc.
    They finish up and Vicki comes back in after Sarah leaves.  Megan asks
    her to tell her about Jake.  Vicki starts to tell her about the house
    that Jake bought for her and what a mess it was and how he turned it
    into their dream home with his own two hands.  
    
    They show Jake and Andrew arriving at the hospital and Andrew tells
    Jake to go and see Megan that he will wait here.  Jake tells him to
    come but Andrew declines.  As Jake starts off to Megan's room and Larry
    stops him and tries to warn him about her condition and how she looks
    (get out of the way Larry, I mean jees, they haven't seen each other in
    what a year?).  
    
    Vicki is continuing on about Jake when he sneaks in the room.  Vicki
    sees him and starts to cry.  He hugs her and she leaves the room. 
    Megan doesn't seem to notice that he is there.  She asks Vicki
    (thinking she is still there) a question and Jake answers her.  They
    kiss and hug.
    
    That's all that I can remember.  If anyone has more, please add.
    
       

    You covered everything.  I have to say, it was a pretty sad show. 
    Maybe because I'm pregnant, but I was bawling my eyes out.  Especially
    at the end with Jake.
    
    Well, I taped today and I'm truly hoping that we have a surprise ending
    and Meghan pulls through.
    
    Has anyone noticed how old Vicki looks.  Maybe it's becaue of the
    flashbacks/comparison, but she really looks grandmotherish to me
    lately.
    
    Have a nice weekend.
    Joyce
    

    Joyce, I'm not pregnant and cried my way through yesterday's show.  I
    told Marie and Steph at the dinner about it and they were getting
    choked up just hearing about it.  Wait till they see it!!
    
    Cheryl

    Cheryl... I couldn't wait after what you had told me so when I got
    home from the dinner I watched it and cried my eyes out.  Especially
    when Jessica was saying goodbye...what an actress.  And at the end when
    Jake showed up and Megan was saying "it's really you" I totally lost
    it.  
    
    Cheryl, Steph and I all had tears welling up in our eyes when Cheryl 
    told us what happened on yesterday's show.
    
    Marie

    I'm getting choked up just reading about it again.  Jessica was great. 
    She was crying almost as good as Judith Light (Karen Wolek) did when
    she was on the show.  I consider her, Genie Francis and now the little
    actress who plays Jessica the best criers on the ABC Soaps.
    
    I'm really going to lose it today!!
    
    Cheryl

    Did you notice that the cop told Jake and Andrew to get out of the car
    and lock it up and he would drive them to the hospital. When Andrew got
    out he never put up the window or locked the car...  I guess on soap-
    land things are safe...
    
    Lynne

    Hi Lynne:
    
    I thought the same thing about the car.  I also thought they got back
    really quickly from Jaba City.  So, it Andrew going to tell anyone that
    he's been stabbed.  I thought that part was kind of stupid.  Like (oh,
    oh!! dc's rubbing off on me!!) why wouldn't he tell anyone???  Why
    would he just sit in the hospital and allow himself to get an
    infection.  Seems stupid to moi!!!
    
    Cheryl

    I agree, its stupid of the writer to do that to Andrew.
    I do hope he has a chance to say good-bye to Megan.. Yesterday's show
    was sad, so I can imagine we are in for a real sad show today..
    
    Lynne

    i am almost in tears reading all this.  as you know, i love this soap
    but unfortunately, at the worst time in the world my vcr will not
    record.  i have made it home to tape mondays, wednesday and today's but
    did not get tuesday or thursday.  could anyone lend me their tape so i
    could watch them?  puleeze!!!
    
    i know, who the heck is this.. its cj in another account because her
    computer is also not working.
    
    please send me mail at ringer::aquilia if you do.  thanks a million-

    My cousin and I sat down earlier toniht and watched the entire weeks
    worth of shows.  We blubbered our eyes out.....  All the scenes were so
    touching, everytime Megan opened her mouth... we cried harder.....
    
    The one blooper I noticed was.....  in the first few shows Megans IV
    was in her right arm.... then all of a sudden, it was in her left.
    Not to realistic.... I have been in the hospital, they do not change
    arms like that...
    
    But as far as it went..... we cried......  I had forgot how truly
    handsome Jake was... almost up there with Max......
    
    Robb
    

    
    Ok, let's talk about the bawl-a-thon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    You guys... I cried my little heart out ALL last week.  And I wasn't
    just crying - I was YELLING I was crying so hard.  I knew Jake was
    gonna do the tree-thing, but the Valentines on the tree and the poem 
    and everything was just TOO much!  Thank goodness no-one was home while
    I was watching these shows because they surely would have thought I'd
    lost it!
    
    Jessica Tuck was just amazing last week!  It really is a shame that
    they've killed the character off.  Anyone know why they decided to do
    this?
    
    Hey Deadhead ---> Did you get the EPISODES?
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph,  Jessica Tuck didn't renew her contract and rather than replace
    her they decided to kill the character off.

    
    Tooooooooo bad!!!  She really "showed her stuff" the past week.
    
    --Steph
    

    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

    Friday's show was definitely the saddest thing I've seen in a long
    time.  I was so depressed Friday nite after watching it.  I taped today
    hoping that maybe Megan isn't dead and she'll be in a coma or
    something, but I guess not huh???
    
    It was pretty sad when she was talking with Andrew.  She requested that
    no one wear black to her funeral and she also requested a certain song. 
    She whispered it in his ear, so we won't know until we hear it.  She
    also told him she loved him.  I thought he did a great job as well as
    Jake.
    
    Bye for now.
    Joyce
    

    
    I think what made the whole thing even more sad than it already was 
    was Megan's attitude.  She remained strong and determined and dignified
    the entire time she was saying her goodbyes/dying.
    
    What really KILLED me on Friday was when she and Jake were discussing
    the tree in the winter.  The whole discussion was an analogy to Meg's
    condition and it was just so sad, mainly because the audience all knew
    she was going to die.
    
    When she was describing what she wanted her funeral to be like to
    Andrew she told him to make sure that no-one wore formal black - she
    wanted everyone in "funky bright colors," and to make sure they "play
    the music so loud the cops come."  Andrew then told her that he wasn't
    sure anyone would be dancing.  Waaaaaah!!!!!  I can't help but thinking
    that the song they're going to play (the one she whispered into
    Andrew's ear) will be "Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. I'm
    thinking this one for two reasons:  1) Linda Gotleib worked (produced?)
    on Dirty Dancing, and 2) It fits.
    
    We'll see...
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph:
    
    That would be a perfect song.  Great deduction.  I hope that that's it. 
    I was surprised that Megan never really said goodbye to Vicki, Clint,
    Bo, Asa and Renee.  It also was weird that they never showed Marco at
    all, even during the Megan/Marco scenes when she was Ruby Bright. 
    Gerald Anthony must not have given his consent to used the clips
    because he's on another soap (Santa Barbara) now.  All the others they
    showed are not on other soaps at the present time.
    
    This week is going to be really sad, going through the grieving
    process.
    
    Another reason why I liked last week is because they didn't show Lee
    Ann at all.  What do all the men in Llanview see in this woman?????
    
    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.

    I only taped Thursday and Friday's shows and have only watch Thursday's
    show. I watched most of it yesterday and besides being sad and crying
    while watching Megan say goodbye to Tina, Sarah, and the kids, the
    other thing that really got me going (tears) was the Nicki/Clint scene
    when Clint tries to get Vicki back by letting Nicki see him in bed with
    Tina, hoping it will bring back the memory of Vicki seeing her father
    in bed with her friend (Tina's mom). I forgot how powerful that scene
    was and I was sobbing away. I finally turned it off before the last
    scene so I could regain my composure. I watched the last scene, when
    Jake shows up in Megan's room, this morning, which was a mistake. I had
    to redo my make-up. I don't know when I'll get around to Friday's
    show,but I know I'll have a box of tissues with me.

    Actually, I didn't find Friday's show to be nearly as moving as
    Thursday (except for the very last scene which I watched twice).  Let's
    just say that I was still emotional after Thursday's show and watched
    it before going to dinner with dc and "the girls".
    
    Cheryl

    I wish I could see the shows!!  I would of love to see Meggan and Jake
    together for the last time.  All your updates where so good I am
    loosing a tear or two, at my desk... (what a looser, everyone will 
    think if they stop by).
    
    I am going to miss the actress who plays Meggan.  Is Jake going to
    stay?  Or is he leaving too.  The Meggan/Jake storyline is the only
    reason I watched OLTL.
    
    Well you guys are doing a great job of updating!

    I taped last week's shows, I've only watched Thursday's & Friday's so
    far.  I hadn't seen the show in a few months.

    Question:  Is the new One Life To Live opening always the same?  Or
    did they do a special one last week?  The reason I ask, is because of
    the closeup of the woman's eyes (who is that woman?), with tears running
    down her face.  I wondered if that was just for Megan, or if that's the
    normal opening.

    I thought it was a strange opening.  Looked more like a Levis commercial
    to me, I thought I'd set the VCR incorrectly & missed the first part of
    the show!

    I agree with the person (Cheryl?) who said Thursday's seemed sadder than
    Friday's.  But I thought the saddest part was when Andrew kissed Megan.
    That little Jessica's quite an actress too!

    - Diane

    The opening to the show is a new one but not just for last week....
    unfortunately.  I don't really like it.  They needed a new opening but
    I don't think any of the people in it are actually on the show.
    
    Marie

    
    
    
         Steph,  when I got to work at midnight, I walked into the
    office & I saw the interoffice envelope on my desk & knew right
    away that I was about to be in heaven sooooooooo, I rushed right 
    over without even taking off "The Leather" & opened it up & went
    right to the "Centerfold"....... Wow is that boy ever good
    looking.... UUUMMM UUUMMM UUUMMM...... Yahoo!!!!! Yipee!!!!!
    I think that scar on his "Left" cheek makes him look sexy
    ferrrrrrrrrrr shurrrrrrrrrrrre!!!!!!!!!! 
        If this is what the boys in Cincinnati look like, I'm moving
    west real soon..... {;^)==>  {;^)==>  {;^)==> 
        Send me your mail stop by E-Mail & I'll ship it back in
    one piece at the end of the week ok????? I can't thank you
    enough for letting me borrow it for a few days..... 
    
    
    
                            Thanx Bunches 
    
    
    
                     ***** Deadhead Lefty *****
    
    

    I don't watch OLTL, except when I am home...... I happen to catch
    Friday's (at a hotel room in Springfield, took time out from setting up
    our train layout to go back to the hotel)... and yesterday I caught
    part of it at my in-laws as we were passing through Sturbridge....
    
    The most moving scene for me yesterday (of what I saw), was when the
    call came in to Renee'..... there were no words spoken, just a view
    from outside the window... of Renee', Tina, Kevin and Joey..... boy was
    that a tear jerker... very well done!!!!!!!
    
    And Friday's when Jake kept saying, "You promised never to leave
    me"....
    
    Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh   soooooo sad!!!

    Well, I must say, after last week I expected Monday's show to be alot
    better than it was.  When Virgil showed up I thought "oh NO not this
    again!" (Virgil is Vicki's guardian angel who always showed up in her
    heaven scenes).
    Monday...
    Megan is dead.  Vicki comes into the room and is all upset because Jake
    is carrying Megan back to the bed and wants to know why everything is
    disconnected (reality check...if Jake unplugged all that stuff, very
    loud bells and buzzers would go off at the nurses station or atleast in
    the room).  Jake leaves the room and Vicki then sees Virgil.  She just
    started screaming "No, not you" and flashes back to the times she met
    him.  Vicki then locks herself in the room with Megan and starts
    telling her stories again.
    There was some boring stuff with Leanne and Jason.  He showed up at the
    place where she gets her mail and as he was showing the guy at the desk
    her picture, she came in.
    The saddest part of yesterday (I think) was when Jake went out to the
    tree and started taking the hearts off.  waaaaaaaaaa
    Also, Sara was really upset and Andrew tried to help.  Sara told him
    she'd rather believe there was no god than to think if there was that
    he could be so cruel.
    Tina was in bed crying when first Jessica came in, then C.J., then Joey
    showed up with ice cream and spoons, then Kevin came in with his own
    spoon and they all climbed into Tina's bed to eat ice cream.  It was
    Megan's favorite so they all toasted her with a spood of ice cream.  I
    thought that was cute.
    
    Marie

    I haven't forgotten about OLTL for SPW News.  I just don't have time
    right now to enter it.  I will get to it this afternoon or tomorrow. 
    There's a lot on Megan's death.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Cheryl ---> Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    --Steph
    
    CJ... Where ya' been?
    

    Steph,
    
    Lunchtime, OK.  I am swamped this morning!!!  
    
    Cheryl

    Yesterday was another sad one.
    
    Tuesday...
    
    Kevin is going crazy looking for Leanne and he and Joey end up
    fighting.  Vicki is locked in her room working on something.  She won't
    let anyone in.  It appears to be an article about Megan but she won't
    talk to anyone so they don't know what she's doing.  Tina and Sarah
    talk about Megan and are going through some of her clothes.  They were
    playing "We are family" (Pointer Sisters) in the background. Back in
    New York, Leanne picks up a paper and sees Megans obituary.  She's all
    upset and Jason wants to know why.  She say's "LOOK Jason" and he said
    "ya'...Megan Harrisons picture in the paper".  She gets upset with him
    and then realizes he can't read.  He looked pretty sad.  Anyway, she
    then asks him if his offer for a ride back to Llandview is still open
    because Kevin will need her.  He didn't look happy about that either.
    There was also alot about Alex that I must admit I fast forwarded
    through.  She's just taunting him that she's got some dirt on Carlo
    Hesser.  Also, Carlo and Steph were on.  She insisted on going back for
    the funeral because Kevin will need her.  At first Carlo says no but
    then decides he'll go too.  He's wondering why Sarah hasn't told the
    police something about him.  The mailman came by to deliver Megans mail
    and Sarah answered the door.  He had no idea Megan was dead.  Sarah
    started reading through the mail and got upset and started trashing
    Megan and Jake's house. She cut herself on some glass she broke and had
    some flashback of blood dripping on some white roses. She heard someone
    saying "scarecrow".  She called Bo and told him she's remembering
    something and could he come right over.
    I think that's about it.
    
    Marie

    
    Marie --> Another FABULOUS update.  THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Cheryl -> Take your time!  I'm anxious to see the "stuff" but under-
    stand being busy.  It's COOL!  Oops... I mean NARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

    though!!!

FINAL EXIT

Letting her character be killed off was an act of courage for OLTL's Jessica
Tuck.

OLTL's Megan Gordon Harrison died last Friday.  It's a wonder that Jessica
Tuck, the actress who created Megan and played our her final moments, didn't
follow suit.  In addition to the strain of dying young on-camera, Tuck did over
a dozen auditions the same week.  And in the tradition of movie stars of the
30s - pretty and witty like Lombard, sophisticated yet vunerable like Hepburn -
Tuck has every chance of being as welcomed in her new life as she will be
missed in the old one.

"When I first took this job three years ago, I decided I was going to do it for
three years, then move on after that," she explains.  Tuck gave enough advance
warning so the show could plan a socko final exit.  Head writer Michael Malone
says he did everything short of "falling to his knees and begging her" to say. 
But, convinced Tuck had no intention of coming back, OLTL gave her character
the definitive final exit.  "It's rare that an actor has a chance to play out
the role of a dying person," says Malone, "and she's so good at her craft, we
wanted to give her that prized opportunity."

In the bargain, the show used her departure to create a very dramatic
storyline.  "We've been through lots of deaths on the show," says Erika Slezak,
who plays Megan's mother, Viki, "but the death of Megan is the saddest we've
every had."  Slezak will miss Tuck offscreen as well:  "her spirit and energy
contributed so much.  She used to rollerblade around the building and was always
doing something silly."

Dying in the arms of her OLTL husband, Jake (Joe Lando), Tuck felt the pathos
herself as Viki and Jake, refusing to believe she's slipped away from them,
continued talking to her.  "I couldn't cry because I had to be dead," Tuck
recalls, "so I was singing to myself -la la la la la- to try to keep the tears
from welling up in my eyes."  She also could breath while on-camera.  "The
stage Manager tied rope around my big toe and he would pull it when I was
offcamera so I could take a breath, and pull it again to signal me when I was
on."

Spending long hours in a wheelchair brought home to Tuck how fortunate she is
to be the naturally healthy person she is.  Submitting herself to a "dying
state from 7 in the morning to 10 at night" also required some healing
measures.  In exploring the character Tuck says, "I got really weak, to the
point where I couldn't get out of bed.  I'd come home and take baths and tell my
body that it was OK.  Psychosomatically, you can make yourself very ill -
people do it all the time, myself included.  So I certainly didn't way my body
to get this message that we were ready to end things."  (On her last day of
work, however, Tuck had the flu and a temperature of 101.)

Now, with Megan's death behind her, Tuck is about to begin a brand new life. 
"Whatever it is that I do next, I want it to be something that grabs me from
the gut.  So whether that be film or the theater doesn't make any difference,
just a long as it's something I feel good about."

"I don't want to take a job just to take a job, and I've been smart enough
saving my money so that I can hang out a bit without having to do that," she
continues.  "The roles I'm really excited about are the ones that scare me a
little.  They might tap into a part of my personality I don't  particulary feel
comfortable with, and I'd have to explore that, expose it, so to speak."

She's been auditioning nonstop since she taped her final episode of the soap
and has no regrets about her decision to leave.  "I've always taken care of
myself," she says.  The second oldest in a family of five boys, at 28 she
things she still has "a lot of the boys in me."  Tuck hasn't always been
confident in her decisions but she has been determined:  "I was scared to leave
OLTL, but that's OK because I'm not paralyzed, and that's the important thing
for me.  I know that I can keep going.  Fear is a good thing; it keeps you on
your toes.  Whenever I feel it getting to the point where I'm going to freeze in
my tracks, it's time to reach out and ask for help, and that's something I'm
learning to do."

Tuck's immediate future is taken care of, with several projects already lined
up:  She has been case as the lead in an independent feature film, directed by
Charlie Loventhal, (who wrote and directed the series of one-act plays -
Welcome To My Life-in which Tuck mad her theatrical debut off-Broadway last
summer).  And she'll be in California in May to film the comedy, Don't Stop Now
(scheduled for an August release), playing a "typical executive type who runs
nto a young man who basically turns her life upside down."

She's auditioned for some big parts that she'd love to get, among them several
TV pilots.  And she's under consideration for a couple of feature films, too,
"small roles, but working with good people."  Tuck says that the acting skills
she perfected on the soap have prepared her well for broadening her horizons in
the film and stage.  "Soaps teach you to think quickly on your feet," she says. 
"I can pick up a set of sides at an audition and right away make a choice about
what to do with [the part].  There are times when things start to go wrong, and
you have to figure out how you can make the scene work and not blow the take,
because [in soaps] we don't have the luxury of time and a lot of tape to
waste."

A big comedy fan, Tuck would like to work with Kevin Kline and Steve Martin, an
feels she's capable of pulling it off.  "Unfortunately, people tend to see me
like I am, pretty much the sophisticate, from a good family, that kind of
thing."

Personally, Tuck looks ahead 10 years and sees herself married, with a couple
of kids.  "I'd like to be at the point where - well, this is the dream-projects
are coming to me instead of my having to pursue them heavily, and I can have a
personal life and do my work, too.  Right now it's pretty much just my work; I
don't have time for much of a life, which is OK.  I'm willing to sacrifice some
things right now-I think you have to, to get yourself established."

    Steph - I don't mind doing the updates.  At times I feel like I'm the
    only one who still watches OLTL. (-:
    
    Cheryl - Thanks for the great article on Jessica Tuck.
    
    One really sad part that REALLY got to me yesterday was...Andrew said
    to Tina "I admire your strength" (which is the wrong! thing to say to
    someone who's grieving..speaking from experience).  Tina said when
    you lose someone you really love you can either let it completely take
    over and swallow you up or you can decide to go on with your life even
    though the pain is unbearable.  It had me really sobbing.
    
    Marie

The part about Alex yesterday had to do with the District Attorney (I forget
his name) bringing in a psychiatrist do determine her sanity(or lack of same!).
I guess she has to be legally sane in order to make her bargain with them for 
immunity from procecution in exchange for the goods on Carlo.

She went kind of bonkers when the psychiatrist brought up Bo, but I 
guess not too off the wall from his point of view since he did pronounce 
her legally sane, with the caviat that he considers her dangerous.


                                       --Sandy
    

    You're welcome Marie.  I noticed a lot of typos though after reading it
    again.  Sorry about that.
    
    I watched yesterday, but ffed through most of Lee Ann and Jason, except
    the part when she found out he couldn't read.  I also ffed through Alex
    and the DA, and most of Carlo and Stephanie, but I know they are
    traveling back to Llanview and Carlo mad her promise not to call anyone
    ahead of time to tell them they are coming.
    
    Can't wait to hear "the song" Megan made Andrew promise he would have
    at the "party"
    
    Cheryl

    
    	Cheryl --> Thank you soooo very much! That article was really
    	wonderful!  And FWIW... I didn't notice one typo.  I was even
    	going to comment on this until I saw your note saying you had
    	made some. In any case, who gives a flyin' one? I just really
    	appreciate the time you took to put it in for us!
    
    	Please, someone, when they play "the song" that Megan requested
    	Andrew have played, POST IT!  I'm dying (oops, wrong word!) to
    	know if I have ESP!!  :-)  :-)
    
    	Thanks again Cheryl!  Hey, how'z Bon?
    
    	--Steph
    

    Steph
    
    The song was "Dancing in the Street".  Everyone was clapping and Sheila
    sung it (she has got one terrific voice!!).
    
    More later..
    
    Marie

    
    Marie ---> Thanks!  My curiosity has been cured... :-)
    
    Was it the Mick Jagger/David Bowie version or another?
    
    Cheers!
    --Steph
    

    I would say it was more the "Sheila Price" version.  She started it off
    really slow, almost like a gospel tune.  Then, she started singing it
    like a really fast gospel tune and the camera switched to all the
    people in the church.  Some of the faces were priceless, especially
    Viki's.  She look almost shocked that this song would be sung at a
    funeral.  I had the feeling that maybe the cast members were surprised
    too.  Maybe the writers didn't let on that this was the song???  Asa
    was a riot, clapping away with the rest of them!!!  Of course, I was in
    tears!!!!
    
    Cheryl

    
    Thanks Cheryl!  I'm such a bonehead sometimes.  Marie CLEARLY stated
    that Sheila sung the song, yet I asked if it was the Jagger/Bowie
    version.  Guess I haven't had enough CAFFEINE yet this morning... :-)
    
    Were people wearing black or were they in "bright, funky colors" as
    Megan had requested?
    
    I find it strange that they were in church because Megan said to Andrew
    "no churches, no formal black clothing."
    
    Inquiring minds want to know!!!!  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph:
    
    I haven't talked to Bon since last week.  According to Roberta, she's
    fine.  Actually, you saw her after I talked to her .
    
    Pretty much, everyone was in bright colors, except for Viki, Roger and
    Clint.  Larry had on a funky tie. Jason had on the usual motorcycle
    outfit he wears, which Wanda had a problem with.  She had on a flowered
    dress.  Luna was dress with a hat and an outfit that had big lace on
    it.  She told Max that everyone was told to dress eccentrically, and
    Max told her, then she should have worn a black dress with pearls. 
    Max, who was dressed in a blue suit, sat with Luna and held her hand.
    Jessica had on a flowered dress,  Tina had on a dress of Megan's. 
    Andrew had his minister garb on with red socks.  He mentioned that if
    Megan were here, she would be asking Tina if she could borrow her dress
    and Tina replied that  "this is Megan's dress."  Renee and Sarah had on
    colorful clothes, and I didn't even see whiney Cassie.  That jealous,
    self-centered little twit didn't even show up, unless I missed
    something!!!!
    
    I have to say that this Tina is the worst cryer on any of the soap,
    IMHO of course.  During the last couple of day, when she cries, she
    looks like she's about to laugh.
    
    If I remember anymore, I'll let you know.
    
    Cheryl

	I know this is a little late to be asking, but does anyone out
	there have last Thursday and Friday's episodes still on tape
	that I could borrow??  My VCR has been broke for a month and a
	half and I finally got it back yesterday, but the person that
	taped for me last week, didn't get the end of the week for some
	reason and after reading the updates, I would love to watch them.
	I live in Nashua and work at Merrimack. 

	Thx,
	-- Mary Ann		

    Another one comes out of the closet!
    
    Cassie was in the congregation.  She had on a blue suit.  They really
    didn't give her any camera time though.  I just happened to see her
    when they were showing BO.
    
    And your right, the look on Vikki's face when Shiela was singing was
    priceless. I think she was trying to decide if she approved or
    diapproved -- whether to go along with it, or make a stink.  It was
    good.
    
    --Candie

    finally a minute to note for a while.  i have to really really thank
    all of you for posted the past week in oltl.  i missed thursdays and
    tuesday show but last night got to watch fridays and guess what?  my 
    eyes were so sore this morning and my nose felt awful all night.  i
    cried my eyes out.  what a touching and fantastic job jake and megan
    did.  now, if only the soap would continue to be so touching.  its
    obvious that the directors and such have the talent.  use it!!!!!!!
    
    wish tracy was around for today's update.  she was so good today and
    even updated loving.  oh well; can't win em' all, or can we tracy???
    are you there?  
    
    can anyone update lately?  thanks a million for all the support!
    
    hi steph!  happy valentine's day!
    
    cj

    fridays show was very good too.  they had wanda come to the park and
    find a book of poems.  she sat down and started reading them outloud
    and they showed various couples, enstranged lovers, etc.
    
    bo and sarah were featured in a coffee shop where sarah was telling bo
    that she was trying to go to megan's grave and couldn't.  he comforted
    her and told her that he knows what she must be going through and that
    she would always have him there.  she asked him to come to the cemetary
    and he did.  they kissed passionately there and held eachother.  it
    looks like those two are going to be getting back together.
    
    at the grave sometime when sarah and bo weren't there was andrew. 
    cassie came by and comforted him (hmm... what is going on there??)
    and told andrew that she wanted to give bo up for sarah but couldn't. 
    she knows that she is losing him.  andrew wanted to set the birds that
    him and megan gave eachother for x-mass but couldn't.  he wants to wait
    till spring.
    
    luna and max were putting some green junk in the springs so asa would
    think it was toxic.  max took out a bottle of bubbly after they
    finished and luna jumped him, literally.  she told him that she loved
    him and how much she wanted him but he backed off and got her to
    understand that he just doesn't feel that way about her and values her
    friendship more than a lover.  she asked him about blair being on his
    mind and he admitted that she was.  luna said that she would help him
    get her if that is what he wanted.  she said she cared that much for
    him.  (i felt bad for her.) (i thought they should of taken the fake
    snow off of max's head though before the scene, how tacky!)
    
    jason was having a beer at wanda's and dorian came in to apologize for
    thinking that he was her property.  he told her to lighten up and asked
    her to come somewhere with him for a surprize.  they landed at the
    springs and jason asked her to be his valentine there and now (i can
    see now why people think this guy is sexy!) they take their clothes off
    and dorian puts her foot in to test the water and it comes up green!
    (earlier, she commented how much the property could make.)
    
    leeann (who wore the stupidest dress i have ever seen in daytime
    television, including AMC balls!) called kevin and invited him over. 
    she was talking to her baby earlier saying that they weren't going to
    be raised without a father even though max won't have her, etc.  kevin
    being the immature boy that he is goes running over to find leeann not
    in her apartment so he just walks in (because the door was left open)
    and sees the table set for a romantic dinner for two.  leanne comes
    home and yells at him saying that he ruined her surprize (then lock
    your door damnit!) and told him to come back 15 minutes later. he went
    home and changed for "dinner" and came back a bit later.  they danced
    and she told him that she would marry him.  (he looked like a love sick
    puppy dog!)
    
    after wanda finishes some of the poems she is looking at the book sadly
    when an older man comes by and tells her that is he glad that the book
    was still there as it means alot to him.  they begin to talk and she
    tells him that vinnie and her were married on valentine's day and also
    that vinnie died on valentines day.  he tells her about his wife dying
    and they begin to read the poems to eachother.
    
    max comes over to blairs with a huge red heart of flowers and streamers
    but not for her, for her mom abby.  she is delighted and blair is
    warming up to him.  he also brought a piano, thanks to luna who left
    after he showed it to blair and abby.  abby started playing and max
    coaxed blair into dancing with him.  he told her that she better watch
    out as he was going to fall in love with her.  they kissed
    passionately.
    
    vicki has finally come out of her room with megan's life story
    (according to vicky) and realizes it valentines day and says "happy
    valentines day clint" and hugs him while crying.  
    
    i think that was about it.  (IMHO, i hope they keep ralph love (the guy
    that wanda was talking to) because although i find wanda irritating
    sometimes they made a cute couple.)
    
    

    Thanks for the update.  I also hope they keep Ralph.  Wanda needs
    someone to keep her occupied and out of other peoples business.
    I can't believe Max is picking Bland...oops..I mean Blair over Luna.
    This guy just loves women who lie, cheat, and steal.  Blair is
    nothing more than a very harsh version of Gabrielle.
    I also wondered about Cassie and Andrew possibly getting together after
    Bo and Sarah get back together.
    The thing with the birds got to me though.  It was supposed to be
    really cold and the poor things would have frozen to death just taking
    them outside for that short period of time let alone releasing them.
    
    Marie

    
    CJ --> Thanks for the update!
    
    How is Jake holding up?  He must've been miserable on Valentine's Day!
    
    I saw the commercial with Bo and Sarah about 1/2" apart and figured
    something was up here.
    
    Now... W H A T  is the deal with Jason and Dorian getting naked?  And
    OUTSIDE?  I mean, if it was snowing on Max's head it's obviously a BIT
    cold for stipping down to your Birthday suit and taking a dip!!!!!!!!!
    I think I just have a hard time with these two as a couple to begin
    with.  
    
    Oh and I agree:  I haven't seen much of Luna or Blair, but I'd prefer
    seeing Max and Luna as a couple.
    
    Is Leanne's baby really Kevin's?
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph---
    
    Leanne still has no idea who the father of her baby is.  She keeps
    referring to it as Max's and is telling Kevin (now that she's decided
    to marry him) that it is Kevin's.
    
    >>How is Jake holding up?
    
    Not great.  He took all of those hearts from the tree, sprinkled
    them on Megans grave and then said "goodbye Megan".  Very sad.
    
    Marie

    
    Waaaaah!!!!  Poor Jake!!!!!  
    
    Leanne's a little trollup, huh?  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    Well Steph,
    
    It looks like you're going to have to tune in to CBS to see Fiona
    Hutchenson (ex-Gabs).  She has just joined the Guiding Light cast as
    Jenna, a jewel thief.  Her first air date is March 27.
    
    I have to correct myself.  Gerald Anthony (ex-Marco) is now on Another
    World. I incorrectly said Santa Barbara.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Cheryl ---> Thanks for the news!!  How thoughtful of you to remember
    how much I loved GAB!!! :-)  What time is Guiding Light on?  I will
    most DEFINITELY be taping her debut!!
    
    --Steph
    

    Steph:
    
    3:00, opposite GH.  It's on Channel 7.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Thank You Cheryl!  :-)  I'll have to remember to set my other VCR for
    Channel 7 on 3/27 at 3 p.m. to check out GAB in her new role!!!!!!!!!
    
    --Steph
    

    well if anyone can play a thief she definately can.  i thought she
    wanted to do prime time stuff and low and behold she ends up on another
    soap.  i am quite happy with oltl lately.  i don't bother watching gh
    at all anymore.  they killed that show.  this show lately has shown
    some class, IMHO.  i wish they could get jake to stay but you know by
    the end of the week he will have "moved on" because of the painful
    memories that he holds around landview.
    
    steph -- dorian and jason were going to take a dip in the hot springs. 
    don't tell me you have never taken a jacuzzi in the winter outside? 
    heck, when you know who and i take one lately the windows are always
    open.  add to the atmosphere ya know? :) :) 
    
    does anyone have an update from yesterday?
    
    cj

    Monday...
    
    Sarah ran into Carlo Hesser at the hospital and froze when she saw him.
    He was trying to find out if she told the police whatever it is she
    can't remember.  Troy and Sheila came in just then and rescued her.
    Later the D.A. comes in and asks Sarah if he can talk to her about
    Carlo.  Sheila jumped up one side of him and down the other and he
    LOVED it!  He's got his eye on Sheila but she can't stand him.
    Alex tried to get her job back at the F.A.B. but they basically laughed
    at her.  Since she only had $3.24 to her name she decided she needed to
    find a husband to take care of her.  She went to Wanda's and saw Bo
    arguing with Carlo.  Cassie was sitting near by.  She and Bo just had
    a small disagreement about his "constantly trying to protect Sarah".
    They didn't see Alex.  She was sitting at a table behind a curtain
    writing "Mrs. Bo Buchanon"..."Mrs. Larry Woleck"...Mrs. Andrew
    Carpenter" (I didn't even know she knew Andrew and he certainly doesn't
    have alot of money)...AND "Mrs. Jake Harrison"!  Anyway, she then spotted 
    Carlo and wrote "Mrs. Carlo Hesser" and crossed off all the other names.
    Leanne and Kevin had dinner together and started kissing.  He stopped
    saying he didn't want to hurt her or the baby.  She got this book out
    that said it was o.k. to have sex until the end.  Kevin said "what are
    we waiting for" and they started rolling around on the bed.
    Dorian is all upset about the "toxic" waste and is going to run an
    expose' on Asa.  Some environmental group is picketing the land.  Max
    and Luna show up and Luna is all excited the "plan" worked.  Max thinks
    maybe they went too far (the people picketing burned Asa's picture).
    Blair told Max they could never have anything between them because
    she's on a mission and won't allow Max to distract her.
    I think that's about all.
    
    Marie
    

    WOW, THANKS FOR THE UPDATE!
    
    what i don't understand though is how is alex going to be going after
    carlo if he supposedly is supposed to get going to jail because of the
    information she gave to the da?   and, don't you think that because of
    the matter with cassie that part of the stipulation with alex getting
    out of jail would be for her to not be back in landview?  please
    writers.. you have done such a good job lately, don't play us for
    fools.  it would of been nicer to see her go after jake.  that way we
    could still see him on the show.
    
    i wonder what stephanie is going to do now that kevin is marrying
    leeann.  she deserves it after sleeping with jason.  she will probably
    run to him but he has the hots for her too.  hmm... i thought stephanie
    was leaving anyways due to lack of storyline.
    
    i wonder what is going to happen with asa and the picketers.  max
    mentioning that he has gone too far was a big clue.  and as far as
    blair, give her a mission in siberia and let max alone.  he loves a
    challenge and i'm sure will be hot on her trail no matter what she
    says.
    
    cj

    cj,
    You are right...there were too many inconsistencies in yesterday's
    show.  I can't figure out either how Alex plans to marry Carlo when
    he's going to jail and he finds out she's the one who put him there 
    in the first place.  The only thing I could think of is maybe she'll 
    make a deal with him....if he marries her then she can't testify against 
    him.  I can hardly wait to see that cry baby Cassie's face when she
    get's a look at Alex walking around free!
    
    Marie

Upcoming News:  


Carlo's back in town and he wants everyone to know it.  Carlo also tries to
talk to Sarah, but that proves to be unsuccessful.  Max and Luna are beginning
to think their green slime scheme is a failure until they find a handful of
protestors at the site.

Now that Alex has worked out a deal with the DA, she is very eager to nail
Carol.

Sarah tells Jonas that she is still in love with Bo.

Tina agrees to have dinner with Cain, but only to pump him about the property
situation.  Only thing is, Tina forgets all about questioning Cain when t;hey
end up locked in a closet together.

Asa and Renee argue.

Next:  Cain turns on the charm.  Max and Luna begin phase two of their plan.

Cheryl

    
    CJ --> Sad to say... but I've only taken INDOOR jacuzzis!!  And from
    reading the Dorian / Jason business at the springs, I didn't realize 
    they were HOT springs!  In that case... COOL!!!
    
    And CJ... go easy on GH!  :-)
    
    So did Joe Lando (Jake) return to Llanview only for Megan's death???
    Now he's leaving again - by the end of this week?  Too bad...
    
    Marie --> Thanks for the great update!
    
    I saw a OLTL commercial with Alex visiting Carlo in his cell. I really
    like her haircut!
    
    Cheryl --> Thanks for the Upcoming News!
    
    WHO is Jonas?
    
    Thanks!
    --Steph
    

    Steph:
    
    Jonas is Dr. Jonas, Sarah's psychiatrist.  She is really pulling the
    wool over his eyes, and I must say, very badly.  I mean, who wouldn't
    be able to tell that this woman is unhinging very quickly!!!!
    
    Cheryl

    Sarah went to see Dr. Jonas (and is he a cutie!) and admitted to him
    finally that she still loves Bo.  Sarah has also been stealing drugs
    from the hospital medicine cabinet.  Bo caught her yesterday but she
    brushed him off saying she had to get this medication to a patient.
    Ya' right...they always let patient relations people deliver drugs.
    Troy found out that Alex was released and had an argument with the D.A.
    about it.  Bo found out she was released also and went nuts!  He also
    jumped all over the D.A.  Seems yesterday everyone in Llandview was at 
    the "toxic" springs.  Blair was there and ran into Max.  She told him
    agian that there could never be anything between them.  Blair then went 
    to see Asa to get his side of the story and he really chewed her out.  
    She yelled at him "DON'T TRY TO BULLY ME!".  She explained she just wanted 
    to tell Asa's version.  He insisted he didn't know anything about the 
    green slime.  Max is still pretty nervous about things getting out of 
    hand but Luna keeps telling him it will be fine.  Tina, Kevin, abd Joey
    were also at the springs.  Kevin said nothing Asa did would surprise
    him.  Tina and Joey didn't believe Asa could do such a thing.  Later,
    Tina walks in and overhears Asa telling Cain that he wants to unload
    the land before the environmental group files a class action suit.
    Cain thinks he should wait until he gets the toxicology report.  I
    think Tina now believes Asa knew about it (though he didn't).
    Alex tricked Carlo into meeting her at the Buchanon Palace dining room.
    She said some mob boss wanted to meet him there.  He showed up and saw
    her.  He sat down at the table and said he wasn't very fond of people
    who shoot him.  Alex was the one who shot him as he was about to tell
    Bo about Sarah (months ago).  Anyway, she explains why he can't kill
    her and he says "what do you want?".  She told him she'd let him know
    when she came back to the table and she got up to make a phone call.
    She called the D.A. and said Carlo is at the Buchanon Palace, come get
    him.  She's definately got some plan.
    Leanne told Luna her baby is Max's.  This woman is UNREAL!  She has no
    idea if it's Kevin's or Max's.  I'm sure it will come out sooner or
    later that she's claiming Max is the daddy and after all of Llandview is 
    in an uproar they'll find out Kevin really is the father.  Ho hummm..
    Leanne showed Jason her baby book and then started spelling things to
    him.  He got really upset because he figured out she was indirectly
    trying to teach him to read and yelled at her that he didn't need her
    help.  Kevin and Leanne got all kissie face in Wanda's and then went up 
    to her room.  Jason stormed out.
    Kevin asked Joey to be his best man but told him he couldn't tell
    anyone until all the plans are made.
    
    p.s.  We haven't seen Jake since Valentines day when he put the hearts
    on Megan's grave.
    
    Marie

    EAGLE EYE HERE,
    
    Do you really think its possible for Sarah to get a hold of the drug     
    cabinet keys, at the hospital  not once, not twice , but three times, 
    to get drugs for herself. LETS GET REAL. I think Drugs are kept track
    of better than that in a hospital. Or at least all the hospitals I have
    seen. 
    
    Eagle Eye Lynne

    I mean't to say that Lynne.  I couldn't believe that the keys are left
    on the counter, in the wide open, and labeled no less.  And you're
    right, hospitals keep very close track of the drug supply, especially
    the narcotics and the tranquilizers.  Of course, look who the chief
    physician is:  old wart face Larry!!!
    
    And, Sarah's outburst with the patient would have mean't disiplinary
    action in the real world, not to mention, an immediate referral to an
    EAP program!!
    
    Cheryl

    Sorry... I don't have an update today.  Last night was my volunteer
    night so I didn't get to see it.
    I'll enter one tomorrow if no one else has by then.
    
    Marie

    Now, that Sarah is working at the Hospital and her job is to help
    patients. Has anyone seen her do her job yet?  Other than yell at the
    old lady last week. All she ever seems to do is stand at the front
    desk shuffling papers around.
    
    The writers really like to write story lines with people being locked
    in closests. Specially Tina being the person locked in the
    closest.(Twice)
    
    Do you really think a jail/prison  would let a person have a basket of
    fruit/flowers?   Did they check it?? Maybe...
    
    Eagle Eye Lynne                         

    FYI:  OLTL was number 3 in the ratings for the week of Feb 3.
    
    Cheryl

    Eagle Eye Lynne...
    
    I thought the fruit basket thing was pretty stupid also.  Alex told the
    guard it was from Herb Callison.  Right...the mayor sends the head of
    the mob a fruit basket in jail...happens all the time...;-)
    
    Anyway, for those who don't get to watch here's an update.
    
    Carlo is in the Buchanon palace dining room and Rene comes in looking
    for Stephanie.  Carlo gets her to sit with him for a while and Cain is
    in the background watching.  At different points of their conversation
    Carlo is holding Rene's hand.  Cain is VERY interested in this.  As
    Rene is about to get up and leave, the police come in and arrest Carlo.
    When they are back at the station the D.A. and Troy play a tape for
    Carlo with his voice talking about killing someone.  Troy and Hank (the
    D.A.) get into an argument ande Carlo figures out the don't like
    eachother.
    Almost every young person (and a few old ones) are at "Roady's" (sp?)
    bar.  Jason and Blair are there to get some dirt on this Kiki person.
    She's a rich witch with a taste for young men and (we find out)
    cocaine!  Marty (the Lupis patient) is her niece.  Marty is also at
    Roady's throwing herself at every guy in the bar.  She starts this big
    scene and is dragged off by the police.  We also found out during this
    whole scene that Kiki is Marty's only living relative and holds her
    trust fund until she's 25.  Kiki is spending lots of Marty's money.
    Jason blurts out to Stephanie that Kevin and Leanne are getting married
    which really upsets Steph.  While at the bar, someone came in and said
    Carlo had just been arrested so Kevin rushes off to take Steph to see
    Carlo at the police station.
    Max asked Tina to get involved in his scheme to get the land from Asa.
    She agrees to play up to Cain to trick him into getting Asa to sell the
    land.  They are enjoying this big meal (I've never seen anyone eat so
    much on a soap...we watched through every course!) and in comes two
    thugs.  They are after Cain for some money he owes someone in Texas.
    They take both Cain and Tina to this apartment and Cain gives them a
    check.  The thugs lock them in a closet until the check clears.
    I don't think there was much more...gotta run.
    
    Marie
    

    Here is the SPW news for next week.  I got mine early this week:
    
    Megan's Funeral on OLTL:
    
    ABC spend several weeks hyping the events leading to Megan's death on
    OLTL.  The week of Feb. 3, there wan't a dry eye in Llanview, as
    friends and family stood in vigil for Megan, who poignantly died in
    husband Jake's arms.
    
    Megan's funeral took place Wed.  Feb. 12
    
    Who was ther:  Jake, Sarah, Viki and the whole Buchanan clan, Roger,
    Stephanie, Sheila, Cain and Marty (I didn't see Marty!!)
    
    Who wasn't (but should have been):  Marco, Blaine (Megan's drama school
    friend), Hunter, Andy, Rafe, Dorian, and Herb.  The most glaring
    no-show was Carrie Gordon, the woman Megan called mother for the first
    25 years of her life.
    
    Was the service appropriate:  Megan requested that her funeral be a
    celebration of life.  She asked that no one wear black (tasteful black
    would be in bad taste), and no one did except for Jason, who wore his
    black motorcycle jacket.  (What color was Viki's dress then???)
    
    Worth noting:  Asa snubbed Lee Ann; Tina wore one of Megan's dresses;
    Megan's environmental beliefs were verbalized, possibly as a tip of the
    hat to Tuck's offcamera concerns).
    
    The Service:  After Andrew spoke, he invited members of the
    congretation to share their memories of Megan.  Jack recalled his
    wife's apple pie (which ended up being Wanda's that she bought).  Among
    others saring personal recollections:  Tina, Kevin, Renee, Joey.  By
    the time Viki spoke, she was too distraught to finish her opening
    sentence.  The service concluded with Sheila singing a gospel-style
    version of Dancing in the Streets.  It wasn't long before the joint was
    jumpin'.  Only Viki and Marty sat silently with their hands in their
    laps.
    
    Score or Snore:  Score.  What could have been a dragged-out, overly
    maudlin occasion was accomplished in less than 30 minutes (including
    commercial breaks).  As people reminisced about Megan, the camera
    dissolved from face to face.  Yes, there were tears, but people didn't
    throw themselves on the casket (a la Leland Palmer on Twin Peaks). 
    Best of all, the service was not interrupted by gunfire, illness, Alex,
    Carlo, Charlotte, or any of Bo's or Asa's ex-wives.
    
    Sneak Peaks:
    
    Tina feels like the odd man out in a game that is supposed to give her
    an equal share.  Vike and Clint learn of Kevin's plans for the future. 
    Feeling pressure from Carlo and unrequited feelings of love for Bo,
    Sarah takes drastic measures to deal with life in Llandview.  Sheila's
    personal feelings take over her professional side when a close friend
    suddenly becomes ill.  Jason make a new friend.  Tina's advice to the
    lovesick Max is getting him all riled up.
    
    Next Week:  Viki vows not to let Kevin make the same mistake twice. 
    Sarah's life is in jeopardy.  Tina's assetiveness is turning into a
    nuisance.
    
    Cheryl

    Cheryl...
    Marty was at Megan's funeral.  She came in as they were about to begin
    the service and sat in the last row.
    
    Marie

    Boy, I must have blinked when they showed Marty.  I honestly didn't see
    her.
    
    Cheryl

    Who is Marty?
    
    

    Marty is the Lupis patient Megan met in the hospital.  She's a new
    character.
    
    Marie

    Did anyone notice who's playing Kiki, the woman Blair and Jason are
    trying to get the dirt on.  It's the woman who played Lettie Jean on
    AMC.  The part of Kiki is also Marty's aunt and legal guardian.
    
    Also, Linda Thorson will be returning as Julia Medina in late March. 
    The mag says that although Julia will regain consciousness (she's been
    in a coma since early July), her medical woes won't be over.
    
    Upcoming News:
    
    Tina's hurt when Max and Luna don't consider her a real and equal
    partner in their plan.  Viki is very upset about Kevin's plans to marry
    Lee Ann.  Carlo shows up at Sarah's to remind her not to tell anyone
    what she knows.  Although Bo rescues Sarah, she's so upset that she
    takes too many pills and ends up unconscious.  Luckily, Sheila finds
    Sarah and gets her to the hospital.  Once Tina realizes Luna's in love
    with Max, she gets on Max's back about his interest in Blair.  Jason
    and Marty discover they have a lot in common.  Alex tells Carlo that if
    she doesn't marry her, she could send him up the river for a long, long
    time.  Viki arrives in the middle of Kevin and Lee Ann's wedding
    ceremony.
    
    Next:  Carlo and Alex reach an agreement.  Viki has her say.
    
    Cheryl

    Cheryl,
    Thanks for the upcoming news!!  I look forward to it every Monday.
    That's right!  Lettie Jean...I knew I had seen her somewhere before.
    
    Marie

    Eagle Eye Report: from Friday's February 21st show.
    
    What about the seen where Alex goes to see Carlos in Jail/Prison. She
    says she is Carlo's WIFE. Lets get real again, everyone knows Carlos is
    not married and everyone knows who Alex is. Did they really not
    recongize her. Right?
    
    Eagle Eye Lynne

    
    Hey Lynne --> You've got those eagle eyes scoutin' out all the ABC
    SOAPS, huh??  Love it!!  Keep those reports comin'!
    
    So what's been goin' down in Llanview lately??  :-)
    
    --Steph
    

    Vicki and Clint came back from the ranch (they went for a few days to
    get some quiet time after Megan's death) and found out Kevin and Leanne
    were making wedding plans.  Vicki went storming out to see Andrew to
    chew him out for keeping the wedding plans secret.  Clint and Vicki
    both jumped all over Kevin for being so thoughtless, selfish, and
    immature.  Kevin got mad at them for not supporting him.  Vicki asked
    him agian if Leanne was pregnant and he said no.
    Marty visited Andrew and was being her obnoxious self.  She put her
    feet on his desk and later lit up a cigarette.  Vicki walked in as she
    was smoking and Marty apologized for the way she acted with Megan.
    Tina convinced Asa to sell her the land for $1.00...she didn't have a
    dolalr on her so she borrowed one from Cain.  Tina was making all these
    plans with Max and Luna for "their" spa and Max and Luna treated her
    really rotten.  They only wanted her to get involved so they could get
    the land and don't want her as a "partner".  Later, Max and Luna are
    back at Max's and Al it telling Luna about these weird marbles he has.
    He said they are pretty but don't roll very well.  They never saw the
    marbles but Al looked at them and they were Carlo's diamonds.
    The best part of the show was between Alex and Carlo.  Tanya ????
    (Alex) is one great actress!!  She went to see Carlo to bring him some
    cologne.  She said she "likes HER man to smell good".  Carlo said if he
    found out that Alex was the one who turned him in, he'd have her
    killed.  She said "now darling...how can I help you get out of here if
    I'm dead?".  Steph came in and wanted to know what she was doing there.
    Steph and Carlo both looked at Alex like she was really nuts!  It was
    great.  Anyway, later we see Alex dressed as a policewoman and she goes
    into the evidence room and switches the tapes.
    
    That's about all for now.
    
    Marie

    Kevin tried to talk to Vicki about his wedding plans and to apologize
    for keeping her in the dark.  She was pretty nasty to him and is really
    losing it.  She playing the part of a mother who's just lost a child
    VERY well.  She's feeling lost, angry, hurt, etc....
    Max expected Tina to just hand over the land she got from Asa but Tina
    refused to give it to him unless he made her a partner.  He finally
    agreed to make her a "junior" partner just to get the land.  Asa found
    out that the stuff on the land is nothing more than foul pea soup and
    sent Cain to get the land back from Tina.  Tina said she'd sell it back
    to Asa for $200,000.  Tina and Luna were in the kitchen talking about
    the land and Max when a stray cat just happened to come in (what..do
    they leave the doors open to Llandfair??) and started eating Tina's
    turkey burrito's.  Tina made some comment about Cord was the only one
    who'd eat them and she doesn't know why she still makes them.  She then
    started wondering if the cat was Cord reincarnated.
    Sarah called Dr. Hunk to come to her house since she was afraid to go
    out because of Carlo.  She fixed him lunch and was asking questions
    about him (was he married) but he wouldn't answer her questions.  He
    said he didn't mix his personal life with his professional one.  Sarah
    told him she was starting to feel hope that she'd be o.k. and when
    their session was over, she went for a walk alone.
    The best part of yesterday was Carlo's day in court.  The day before
    Alex had made some comment about "do you like polka's Carlo?".  It
    didn't make sense at the time but when they got to court and the D.A.
    started playing the tapes, they were ALL polka music.  Alex sat there
    with a huge smile on her face and swayed to the polka music.  Carlo
    figured it out then and turned to Alex and smiled.  The D.A. was
    definately not a happy camper!  Out in the hall Bo made some comment
    about being concerned about Sarah and whiney, wimpy Cassie got mad
    saying Sarah was a big girl and could take care of herself.  
    Sarah got back from her walk and Carlo was waiting inside the house.
    He asked why she was pretending she didn't remember what he did. 
    That's where it ended.
    Oh, yes...there was also some stuff with Blair and her mother.  Blair
    said something about having to get back to work which triggered a bad
    reaction from her mother.  He mother kept saying "Dorian is bad".  Her
    mother then explained when they were kids, Dorian cut her and Melinda's
    hair really short because they were all supposed to go to a party and
    Dorian didn't want them to go.  The hair cuts looked so bad they
    couldn't go and Dorian got her way.  Blair said not to worry that they
    would get back at Dorian.

    Eagle Eye Report!
    
    On Monday did you notice that Carlos was out in the hall waiting to go
    into the court room with Alex and he was not guarded or he didn't have
    hand cuffs on. Seems strange to me, a BIG mob leader is caught and here
    he is without a policeman around or hand cuffed. 
    
    Yesterday when I was watching Blair and her mother, I was thinking how
    much she has come around in the last few months. Now remember when
    Blair went to the middle East, who took care of her mother then? If she
    is as helpless as they want us to believe she is, back then she was
    Really helpless.

    It wasn't a turkey burrito ... worse.  an anchovy (sp) burrito!!!
    

    Thanks,  I couldn't remember what kind of burrito it was.  For some
    reason turkey came to mind.
    Alex was great yesterday (Wed.)..if I have time, I'll do an update
    later.

                       Eagle Eye Report
                         
    I want to know where Alex is getting all this money?  When she was
    released from prison, we saw a scene where she as counting how much
    money she had, which was $4.60 (or some small amount like that). We
    have seen her eating at Wanda's, arranging a meal for her and Carlo
    at the Buchanan Palace and now with this Pent-House.

    a recurring role (as opposed to contract).  So, he's leaving OLTL.  His
    last airdate is in mid-July.
    
    As for where Alex is getting all the money, everything is being charged
    to Carlo. 
    
    Upcoming News:

    Saundra Santiago makes her daytime debut on OLTL on Thurs. March 12, as
    Maria, someone key in the life of a Llanview man, for four episodes. 
    Santiago starred on Miami Vice as Detective Calabrese.
    
    Also, Robyn Griggs has been signed to a contract playing Stephanie.
    
    Cheryl

    Don't have time to do an update but thought I'd add a few things.
    
    Kevin and Leanne did get married.  Vicki gave her blessing and Clint
    offered to give the bride away.  Leanne gets the award for this years
    most ugly wedding garb.  She wore this pink/almost red, low cut, very
    short dress.
    Blair is still refusing Max's advances.  Ho hum....yawn.
    Cassie is making me more sick every day.  She accused Sarah of using
    her helplessness to lure Bo back to her and then told Bo the same
    thing.
    Alex is working on getting Carlo to marry her.  He's trying to find a
    way to get out of it by looking for something that would send her back
    to jail.  She's great at playing bad!
    
    Marie

    you would think that vicki and the others would think that something
    was up if leeann didn't try and find a gown or invite anyone.  yes, she
    is pregnant but the women is young and its her first marriage.  i
    wouldn't buy her being in love with kevin for a minute.  its so
    obvious.  
    
    i saw a commercial last night on for oltl and they had several
    magazines, etc saying what a great show this is now.  touching story
    lines, etc.  let's not screw it up now!
    
    does anyone know what ever happened to jake?  did he leave or what? 
    also, does anyone have a clue as to what sarah knows about carlo?  
    
    looks like jason and marty will soon be an item.  he has grown on me
    and i like him now.   and tina and cain too, i think they too will make
    a nice couple.  
    
    any updates?  just wondering!
    
    
    cj

    I can't believe those commercials!!!!  I read some of the magazines and
    they were talking about the week Megan died.  These commercials are
    making it seem like the mags are say this about the entire show.  IMHO,
    I believe the show is back to where it was before and has not gained
    any momentum with me.  I see this has a case of misrepresentation. 
    Also, if you notice, a lot of the scenes in the commercial are also
    from that week Megan died, Feb. 3.   I don't believe that's right at
    all.
    
    The storylines I'm keeping up with are:  Part of the Blair story where
    she's trying to destroy Dorian and the part about Addie (I hate Max and
    Blair together), and some of the Alex and Carlo storyline.  They are
    pretty funny together, kind of demented in a funny way.  Looks like
    Stephanie is going to turn into a bad seed, huh.  She knows more than
    his daughter Charlotte, about his business dealings.  I did see Vicki
    show up at the Kevin and Lee Ann's wedding on Monday, but I still don't
    like Kevin.  
    
    I do like Luna most of the time.  She's really a hot ticket.
    
    Cheryl

    
    Why is it that when a person rips open another person shirt like what
    Alex did to Carlo yesterday, that the buttons don't go fying and the
    shirt rips?
    
    I know, someone is going to tell me that the buttons are snaps.... Well
    I have never seen a dress shirt with snaps instead of buttons. (I know
    only in soapland).

Viki goes to the hospital looking for Sara.  Sara has gone back to work to get
her mind off of what is bothering her.  Viki invites her to come stay at 
Llanfair while she is out of town so she can help Tina keep an eye on the kids.
Sara gets angry and accuses Viki to trying to keep an eye on her because she 
thinks Sara tried to commit suicide.  Viki tells her that she is concerned about
her and considers her part of the family, but Sara refuses to listen and stomps 
off in a huff.

Bo and Cassie are at a restaurant when Cassie announces to Bo that she is no
longer going on any out-of-town assignments.  Bo asks her if it is because of
how she now feels about Sara.  She says it is.  Bo tells her that if it will
make her feel better, he will no longer see Sara alone and asks her if that is
alright with her.  Cassie gets a VERY smug look on her face and says yes (the
witch!).

Later at the hospital, Sara is getting ready to go home when Bo comes in and
talks to her (I forget what exactly was said).  She gets flustered and drops her
purse causing several bottles of pills to fall out.  Bo asks her about them and
she tells him they are hers.  He tells her that they are not from the pharmacy
and asks her again where she got them from.  Shiela walks in and asks what is
going on.  Bo asks Sara if she doesn't have something she has to say to Shiela.
Sara finally pulls the pills out and gives them to Shiela.  Shiela takes them
from her and tells her that she has to ask her for her resignation.  Sara gets
very upset but Shiela stands firm.

Carlo calls Alex and asks her to meet him at Wanda's in half an hour because he
wants to talk to her about her proposal.  She agrees to meet him there.

Later, Carlo breaks into Alex's place and starts looking around for the hiding
place for the tapes.  There was a funny scene where he comes "beak to beak" with
the bird plaque over the fireplace...hard to tell which was the larger "beak".
Alex sneaks down the stairs and confronts him.  He just shrugs and says he had
to try.  Alex tells him that she has listened through all the tapes and has 
figured out who was holding back on some of Carlo's money at the casino.  She
tells Carlo she made some phone calls and that person will never work again.
When he asks her for the money, she tells him that if he is a "good boy" she
will get him his money.  He tells her that he has decided to accept her proposal.
She gets all worked up and they end up ripping each other's clothes off and 
rolling around on the floor...bleah!

After they finish their little tryst, Carlo tells her that she can be a June
bride but she says that it is too far away.  She has scheduled them to get
married on Friday.  They then get all hot and bothered again and start 
mangling each others lips and groping.

Dorian and Jason come in to Wanda's to eat.  After exchanging a few barbed
remarks, Dorian goes to the Ladies' Room to "powder her nose". Luna tells 
Jason about LeeAnn getting married and he gets upset.  Later, when Dorian
returns, they are sitting at the table waiting for their order when ???? (the
lupus patient) comes in.  She joins Jason and Dorian at their table and she
and Dorian proceed to needle each other until Jason gets mad and leaves.

Asa and Cain put on their act for Tina's benefit when Tina refuses to give in
and give Asa back the land.  After bickering back and forth, Asa "fires" Cain
when Cain tells Asa that Tina has the right idea in keeping the land and 
developing it into a spa.  Later, after Tina has left, Asa comes back and 
he and Cain giggle over their ruse.

Stephanie goes to Max's house on the pretense of going to see Al.  She tells
Max and Nigel that she left some of her mother's costume jewelry in the attic
when she and Carlo had to leave suddenly.  Max lets her go up to the attic
to look for it, but is very suspicious of her actions.  She goes up and looks
around but cannot find what she is looking for.  As she's leaving, Max asks
her if she wants to see Al, but she says that she is running late and will
come back later.  Al, in the meantime, is up in his room looking at the
diamonds he found.

    Here's some spoilers for next week:
    
    
    Sarah will try to commit suicide.  She will leave a note telling Bo
    that she will be out of his life permemantly (or something) like that. 
    They said if she makes it (I believe she will), it won't be a storyline
    that will automatically be resolved.  It will take a while for Sarah to
    work out her problems.
    
    Alex and Carlo are going to be married and some of the bedroom scenes
    will be pretty steamy.  The head writer, Michael Malone, said that one
    of the bedroom scenes was to involve the use of handcuffs, but he
    thinks it was changed to scarfs (like that's any better!!!).
    
    I forgot my magazine today, but will give you upcoming news on Monday. 
    Sorry.

    Hi,
    
    I don't even watch this soap..but saw something last night on TV
    that I thought you "Livers" would like to know..
    
    I was watching 48 hours and the subject matter was
    "Stalkings"...meaning when a person is obsessed with a person..writes
    them notes...or follows them around...and most of the time these
    stalking are of a violent nature....case in point Rebecca Schaffer
    of the sitcom "My sister Sam"..after her death the police starting
    taking this kind of thing more seriously...
    
    Andrea Evan(ex Tina) was on the show...saying that she has been
    stalked for 5 years...the person that is stalking her..has written 
    her many threatening notes..and has gone as far as trying to commit
    suicide in front of the show's studio...the stalking was one of
    the  major reasons why she left the show...as a matter of fact ..
    she will probably never be able to work steady in TV or anywhere 
    where she'll have exposure because right now her stalker doesn't know 
    where she lives because hse has moved a couple of times...
    
    Just thought you'd be interested...             

    Terri....thanks for the update!  I didn't get to see yesterday's show
    yet.
    
    Cheryl...thanks for the SPW News!  I always look forward to it!!
    
    Hi Kath!  I had heard before about Andrea Evans being stalked.  There
    are some real sicko's out there.
    
    Busy, busy, busy...gotta go
    
    Marie

    thanks so much for the update, news, etc.
    
    i can't wait to see the wedding.  i also think its kinda odd that they
    turned the character of stephanie around so much.  i don't think she is
    going to let kevin and leeann be happy.  she is better this way.  add
    more spice to the person.  just needs to lighten up on the hair.  its
    so blonde now its almost white!

    Thought you all might be interested in this article from today's Boston
    Herald.....
    
    The romance between two soap opera characters has inspired Quincy
    single mom Cheryl Mason to write a love song about her favorit
    characters on "One Life To Live".
    
    Then on a whim, Mason who works as a home day-care orvider, sent the
    tape to ABC--without even a street address or zip code.
    
    The result was a soap-opera dream come true.  Mason's song called
    "paradise", has now been recorded by Judy Collins.  The song will be
    the theme of a storyline that starts Monday.
    
    "OLTL" executive producer, who also produced "Dirty Dancing", says she
    doesn't know how she got the tape or what prompted her to listen to it. 
    It is not the sort of thing I do, she says, "but I played the song and
    I just loved it.  It is a beautiful romantic love song, that's exactily
    the right mood for Bo and Sarah."
    
    

    well, we knew it!  bo and sarah, bo and sarah!  where will cassie (who
    comes from thomaston, maine, where i vacationed every summer as a kid) 
    (and is approximately the same age.  i wonder if she swam at the same
    lake!) who cares!  send her back to maine!  
    
    sounds like the soap is going back and forth from being exciting to
    stupid.  shiela has class.  set her up with the da that keeps giving
    her the eyes and get rid of the boring other one.  what ever happened
    to his son and kerry?  i forget.  
    
    so, did vicki and clint offer a their cabin as a honeymoon palace for
    the kids?
    
    what is going on in landview these days????

Although he plays a baddie on the show, Thom Christopher (Carlo) is actually
a real softie, especially when it comes to children.  On a recent weekend he 
and castmate, Susan Batten (Luna) flew to Rochester, NY to be hosts at the 
Special Olympics.  "We took part in the tube riding, the skiing, the ice
skating and it was all wonderful" he said.  The next day Thom got up early and
caught a place back to NYC just in time to stop at his home, change clothes
and head out to another charity event benefitting children, where he auctioned
off memorabilia from the different soaps.

Robyn Griggs (Stephanie) is happy as a clam to be back at OLTL, but just as 
she got the good news she also learned she had landed the lead in a Broadway show.
Tobyn will be doing double-duty beginning April 16, when she takes the stage
at the Minskoff Theatre in the new musical "Metro".  Robyn says she's really
thrilled with her role as Anka, and will be doing lots of singing in the play.

When Yasmine Bleeth's (LeeAnn) steady guy Ricky Paull Goldwin (AW's Dean) had
to be away for several days, he arranged for a florist to send Yasmine a dozen
roses in a different color each day he was gone.

Shortly after he completed his return engagement on OLTL, Joe Lando (Jake)
packed his bags and zipped off to Los Angeles.  Joe's fans will be pleased
to know he's signed a deal with CBS to do a prime-time pilot co-starring
Jane Seymour.

Former OLTL star, Michael Palance (ex-Dan) who left the show in 1990 and moved
to Los Angeles, says he's had enough of living on the West Coast.  Now he's
back in the Big Apple and busy auditioning for roles.

Laura Bonarrigo (Cassie) recently took some time off and flew to San Diego with
several friends.  They had a great time playing tourist, including spending
an entire day at Sea World.  Laura reported, "I loved it, but I was 
disappointed because we really didn't have enough time to go to the famous
San Diego Zoo."  However, she plans to make that one of her first stops the
next time she goes back to California.

Robert S. Woods and his wife Loyita were teenage sweethearts who married in 1973,
divorced in 1981, and were rewed in 1985 atop a beachfront tower in Massachusetts.

Acrobatic Karen Witter (Tina) is just back from ANOTHER trip to Paris where she
took some more trapeze lessons.  karen says she's really hooked on high-flying
since she first attended the French trapeze artists school a few months ago.
So when she had a few days off from the show, she jetted back to Paris to take
advanced training.  This time she learned how to do all her aerial stunts
without the security of safety roaps - and she proudly reports she's working
on a double back-flip.  she added with a laugh:  "I'm going to keep going and
hopefully, I'll learn how to do it."

Fiona Hutchison (ex-Gabrielle) will be working nonstop next week - she not only
begins taping for her new role as Jenna on Guiding Light, she's also co-starring
with Tatus O'Neal in an off-Broadway productions, "Terrible Beauty".  In the
play, which opens at Greenwich Village's Provincetown Playhouse, Fiona 
portrays an Irish girl named Diedre who has AIDS.  The stage drams deals with
the Irish people's opposition to gays marching in a St. Patrick's Day parade.
"It's very controversial," Fiona said, "and it comes out right before 
St. Patrick's Day."

    Something that struck me as being pretty humorous was the hawk (or
    eagle) over the fireplace in Alex and Carlo's place.  Why.......
    because Thom Christopher (Carlo) used to play a character named Hawk
    on the oooooold t.v. show "Buck Rogers".

    Audrey Landers reprises her role as Charlotte Hesser for a few days in
    April.  SPW says it should be interesting when she meets her new
    stepmother Alex!!!

    wow, i feel like i'm on the only one noting in any of the files today. 
    does anyone have an update on the wedding?  some soap magazine had alex
    and carlo on the cover and she was dressed in a gold glittery dress. 
    was that her wedding gown???? oh do tell, curious minds are dying to 
    know! i haven't seen the soaps in almost a month.  
    
    thanks for the upcoming news.  looks like blair and max are possibly
    just going to be ships passin' in the night.  maybe they are waiting for
    viewers reactions to him with either blair or luna.  i think we know
    which the people would like to see although i did hear alot of positive
    feedback on the blair character in the latest episodes magazine.
    
    can't believe that jake is co-starring with jane seymour.  i wonder if
    they will be romantically involved.  joe lando has come far since
    making pizzas eh?

    a small update on the wedding -
    
    actually, it was quite funny.  they "blackmailed" herb callison into
    performing the ceremony.  alsex said that if he didnt marry them, then
    mr&mrs carlo hesser would be avid supporters of mayor callison!
    
    i don't know if they actually invited people to the wedding, but no one
    showed up. the photographer was pulling double duty as the bartender
    and also became the witness.  
    
    stephanie walked/ran in at the start and tried to stop it, but didn't.
    
    alex wrote the vows - i'll have to check at home tonight i think i
    still have this on tape and type in in later.  
    
    alex wore a skin tight basic black dress with black hat and veil. carlo
    wore a black tux. alex gave carlo a black carnation to wear in his
    lapel.  oh yea, they each had a pre-nuptual aggreemant for the other to
    sign before the ceremony.

    thanks so much for the update.  i wish i could of seen this.  still

    Does anyone know why Tina decided to open the spa herself, excluding
    Max and  Luna?  What is going on between her and Rogan?
    

    On the wedding ... Alex wrote the vows and left out promissing to obey. 
    Carlos did not let her get away with it, but she choked over saying it.

    re .1094
    
    >>alex wrote the vows - i'll have to check at home tonight i think i
    >>still have this on tape and type in in later.  
    
    i looked last night and i did tape overthis episode already, sorry.
    
    	ann

    well at least we have a few people still around this file.  i think
    that tina was upset at luna and max not thinking about her as partner
    and therefore, is getting back at them.  she better watch out though
    because i can see cain trying to get hands on the land (not to mention
    his hands on tina).  i do think that eventually all three of them will
    end up having the land and will continue with their plan.
    
    so blair was giving into max?  oh well, guess my wish didn't come true.
    
    what did steph have to say about the wedding?  are kevin and leanne on
    a honeymoon.  what is going on with marty and jason?
    
    any updates? :)
    
    cj
    

    I'll try to give some quick highlights....
    
    Alex and Carlo got married.  It was all pretty hilarious.  These two
    are going to be verrrrrrry dangerous together.  Steph walked in just as
    they were about to say their I do's.  Alex took her aside and basically
    told her she'd rip her head off if she interfered with the wedding. 
    Steph left and we haven't seen her since.
    Max and Blair were just about to get naked when Luna came banging on
    the door saying Tina had betrayed them.  Blair took off quickly after
    hearing that Max's dream fortune just went up in smoke.
    Blair had broken her mothers silver brush.  Addie explained their
    mother (Dorian, Melinda, an Addie) had given them each a brush.  Blair
    stole Dorians.  Dorian discovered it missing and started accusing Jason
    and the housekeeper and then figured out it must be Blair.  Dorian went
    to see Blair and Addie answered the door.  That's where it ended
    yesterday.
    Tina is having dinner with Cain and he's trying to offer her "help"
    with her dream.  She's talking about a geodesic (sp?) dome and skiing
    and snorkling all under one roof.  Max and Luna walked in and Max told
    Tina that Cain was just using her to get the spa.  Tina went back to
    her dinner with Cain and realized Max was right.
    Sarah has taken off and Bo is tearing Llandview apart looking for her.
    He thinks Carlo must have something to do with her disappearing.  She's
    at someplace she and Bo went together.  The manager of the place gets
    her some pills (to the tune of $125.00).  He offered to "take it out in
    trade" if she didn't have the money.  She gave him the money QUICK!
    Andrew is beating himself up about killing the evil general in Jaba
    City.

    Kevin and LeeAnn got back from their honeymoon and Wanda has a little
    surprise party for them.  Max came in and asked Kevin if he could speak
    to LeeAnn.  They went upstairs and Max asked LeeAnn if the baby 
    was his, she responded that the baby was Kevin's.  He said, "I believe
    you, I know you wouldn't lie about something like this".  She gave him
    back his Christmas present and asked him to save it until he found a
    woman he could love.
    
    
    Jason went to Rodi's and started discussing the letter LeeAnn had
    written to Kevin before she went to NY.  He asked Rodi to read it 
    out loud, he seemed surprise to hear the baby is Max's(I thought he
    knew).
    

    thanks for the updates/highlights. sounds like kevin's marriage isn't
    going to be for very long.  i wonder how long they are going to drag
    this one out.   you know that leann will probably fall in love with
    kevin for real the same time that jason spills the beans about the baby
    being max's.  of course it won't be and when they take the test when
    the baby is born they will find out that it was kevin's all along. 
    however, the baby will die.  i can't see them putting a child with the
    children.  somehow stephanie has to figure in somewhere too.  didn't
    she sleep with jason and wasn't he fascinated with her when he first
    came to town?  guess not that much!
    
    well, as always any updates are always appreciated.  i'm going to try
    and tape tomorrows!!
    
    cj
    

    oh, question, what did leeann get from max for chistmas?
    
    tracy, are you out there?  do you watch/listen to oltl too??? just
    curious!
    
    
    cj

    She got one of those globe things that has a house or whatever
    in it and when you shake it the "snow" floats around.  It was
    really tiny.  When Max bought it in Atlantic City he only had
    a couple of bucks left.

    Did you notice in yesterdays show when Renee told Asa that Kevin and
    Leann were married and then said she was pregnant, that they focused on
    Asa, then back to Renee and , Renee said, "how could you say that, Yes
    its Kevin baby". I think they messed up when splicing the tape, because
    Asa never made a comment about the baby.
    
    I thought it was funny! You don't get to see many screw ups.

    This week's Soap Opera Weekly had an article about Alex and Carlo's
    marriage.....it is being written as a "black comedy", when asked if
    these two would fall in love, the response was, they will develop a
    great respect for each other.  The writers are playing it as sort of a
    Prizzi's Honor storyline.  There was a picture of carlo sitting in a
    livingroom chair watching Alex come down the staircase in a black
    teddy, garter belt holding black hose, high heel and a black top hat. 
    The producer (?) says the actors are in on the love scene plans and
    have come up with many interesting ideas, they seem to be having lots
    of fun with it.

    I do not consider myself to be that straight laced, but when I saw the
    scene with Alex coming down the stairs in next to nothing, even I was
    surprised that it got on the air.  Daytime soap is steamy, but ...

    Also....for two people who supposedly don't really like each other, 
    they sure spend ALOT of time ripping each others clothes off!!

    well, as usual, i didn't get to watch friday's show.  i only saw the

    blair was trying to get her mom to talk and she wouldn't.  blair said
    that she was going to get dorian and her involvement with victor lord's

    remember?
    
    sarah was at the cabin remembering her and bo (in a scene that was the

    SPW News:
    
    Bo and Sarah make Love
    
    Bo finds his "Paridise" on OLTL this week when he tracks down Sarah at
    the mountain cabin where she's been hiding.  The former marrieds share
    a passionate reunion.  "She went there to get away from Llanview and
    decide what she wanted to do with her life," explains Phillips (Sarah). 
    "She's trying to remember what happened just before she was kidnapped
    for a year, because there's something she saw that she blocked from her
    memory."  Thanks to Bo's devotion, "she starts to remember more, and
    then finally remembers the entire sequence this week," Phillips says.
    
    "I think now that we have gone through this ordeal of putting together
    what happened, Bo is going to be in a difficult position in terms of
    what he wants to do," she continues.  "He's going to be a little
    up-in-the-air about Sarah vs. Cassie (Bo's current wife).  It think
    it's very hard for these two people to stay away from each other, and
    that's going to continue to be true."
    
    Recalling her past will be traumatic, but Phillips thinks it will
    eventually prove to have a positive effect on Sarah.  "Once she gets
    over her fear of [what happened] and conquers the memory, it will be a
    very empowering experience for her," she says.  Even though Sarah will
    be relieved of the pressure of her nightmares, her battle with pills is
    far from over.  "We are doing this as realistically as possible," says
    Phillips.  "Even when you get over a dependency, [drugs] are always
    tempting and always there.  She's gotten over them this time, but
    whenever a crisis comes up there's going to be that secret temptation
    to take pills to get through it."
    
    A few weeks ago, OLTL announced that Saundra Santiago would be making a
    4-day appearance as Maggie Vega.  But when OLTL decided to turn the
    part into a contract role, Santiago had to drop out because of previous
    professional commitments, specifically a play.  On March 12, newcomer
    Yvette Lawrence took over the role of the mysterious Maggie, who will
    have instant sparks with Andrew.
    
    Sneak Peeks:
    
    
    
    Hank becomes Sheila's hero.  As Bo and Sarah try to bring back what
    happened during the year she was gone, old feelings are rekindled, and
    passion ignites between them.  Lee Ann helps Jason learn to read.  Max
    realizes that Blair has an unwanted connection to Dorian.  Blair uses
    her knowledge of Dorian's past to feather her professional nest.  Carlo
    kicks up a fuss about the diamonds.  Renee see Asa with a younger woman
    and suspects the worst.
    
    Next Week:
    
    Bo tries to sort out his feelings.  Carlo's sleeping beauty is about to
    cause trouble.
    
    There was an article in the SPW I got on Monday about OLTL's head

    A Murder, and another unexpected wedding, a story for younger viewers
    which will start this summer, a love interest for Sheila when a
    professor comes to town, and even some romance for Luna.

    well, i saw yesterdays, at least bits and pieces.
    
    seems like asa found those letters that cain put in the books (the love
    letters from carlo) and he was real drunk and renee' came in to see
    him.  well, he just about called her a whore, brought up her past and
    she told him that she was leaving and would be moving out of their
    bedroom.  asa told her not to worry as he would move so she could keep
    her things intact.  she went to maxs and got sympathy from him.  they
    decided to go for a walk and carlo broke into max's house (funny, but
    you should of seen the front door knob on max's house.  it was like a
    regular knob for rooms and not a front door!) 
    
    anyways.. he goes up to the attic.  niles (?sp?) was playing the
    bagpipes so he didn't hear him (funny, but if he is supposed to be 
    watching al, shouldn't he be watching him and not playing with his pipes?  
    when did he move into max' anyways?) but seriously, carlo goes to attic 
    and starts getting upset cuz he can't find the diamonds.  al comes in 
    and carlo tries to find out from him where they are.  he has figured out 
    that al knows where they are.  al finally starts to yell just in time 
    for max and renee' to come home.  max finds him in the attic, with carlo, 
    and they exchange words.  renee' finally tells them to be quiet, not to 
    call the cops and just have carlo leave.  she tells him off.  he doesn't 
    look happy.
    
    before that carlo went to wanda's and met up with the very made up alex. 
    (i didn't care for all that blue eyeshadow and red red lipstick) and
    they talked about doing something but i was falling asleep and didn't
    remember.  does anyone?  carlo told alex to take care of it and 
    he would give her her wedding present, the diamonds!  as carlo left
    alex found herb and whiney at another table. she went over to make some
    remarks.  quite funny but i can't remember all.  a bunch to herb and a
    comment to cassie about "enjoying married life".  whines was being her
    usual self (hair straightened however, it looked nice!) and told her
    father that after four months her husband is lying to her and with
    another women.  she wouldn't tell anyone else.
    
    whiney says all this to herb cuz bo called her and said that he was at
    virginia talking to someone in prison getting information about alex. 
    cassie told him that she knew he was lying but he stayed with his
    story.  she then said "well i'm surprized that we have been on the
    phone for 10 minutes and you haven't asked about sarah".  he asks then
    if anyone found her and she said no, but she was sure someone would. 
    she evidently made some calls after and confirmed that he was lying.
    he got off the phone then with sarah at his side.  sarah asked why he
    was lying.  i don't remember his answer.  he is staying with her as she
    dries out and she is not having an easy time with it.  she looks a mess
    and acted very well.  bo is holding her and trying to get her through
    it.  she called her doctor and told him that she was trying to get
    through it.  
    
    other than that, asa asked cain to call BLAIR and send her some roses
    and ask her over for dinner.  ASA AND BLAIR WILL DO THE WILD THANG! 
    cain comments that he shouldn't be hurting renee' like this but asa
    couldn't care less.
    
    kevin and leanne (who wears the worst clothes!!!) moved into landfair
    but leeanne made sure it was only until the baby was born.  clint and
    vicki asked them while at wanda's where leeanne is still working. 
    vicki doesn't like her on her feet so much.  
    
    cain knows about the diamonds and told tina that he would be her
    advisor.  she gave back the "dream" to max and handed him the land for
    the spa.  she wants to be a coco' channel of the 90's and make
    everything that is beautiful.
    
    well i think that is it.  enjoy!

    I've seen bits and pieces.  Bo is with Sarah helping her remember
    what happened during the year she was kidnapped.  She is seeing
    scenes in a garage with a white car but they get mixed up with
    the rape scenes so she doesn't know if they are related
    to Carlo.  She realizes this scenes are related to the kidnap.
    
    As they talk, they start remembering things about their marriage.
    Sarah asks Bo whay he chose Cassie, he can't answer.
    
    Jason moved out of Dorian's, she is not happy.
    
    Blair gave Cassie some documents for Dorian to sign, she signes
    them without reading them, one of them is a confession to killing
    Victor Lord.  Blair tries to blackmail Dorian, asking to be appointed

    the original in the piano, she takes it and goes looking for Max.
    She gets to Max but when the little boy opens the door,  she gets scare
    and runs away.
    
    Tina gave Cain one of the Diamonds to sell, he got $70K for it.  he
    asks for the rest but she says she'll go with him.  Carlo finds out
    that Max doesn't have the diamonds.  
    
    Rene runs into Asa and Blair at the Buchanan Palace.  
    

    Was Sarah raped?  When and by who?
    Are Blair and Asa having an affair?
    

    Sarah was raped by a Buchanan cousin (can't remember his name),
    before she married Bo.  
    
    I don't think Blair and ASA are having an affair yet, but it sure
    looks like they will.

    wow, i was surprized to see that someone thinks that sarah whines alot. 
    i thought it was just cassie but your right; they both whine.
    
    i got to see friday's show last night and will put in some stuff that
    hasn't mentioned.
    
    asa did get blair to dinner with him.  he told her that he knows how
    she is ambitious and wants her to get everything that she wants.  he
    then bought her jewerly.  she commented that someone bought out all the
    stuff that she made earlier and only had this one piece.  asa admited
    that he bought the other stuff and gave the piece that he just bought
    back to her for herself.  she ripped up the check, said that she can't
    be bought and left.
    
    max and luna were having a celebration dinner because they got the spa
    back from tina.  they were at his house with a fire going.  evidently
    luna brought over all this food and sparkling wine because max didn't
    like the idea of leaving al alone because of what carlo did.  well,
    they were getting along very very well and were talking about how much
    they had in common.  then they started dancing real slow and max almost
    kissed luna.  he ended up backing off and luna was hurt.
    
    there was a scene with some lady i think her name is bobby or jackie. 
    she might be a prostitute that andrew had gone to but i'm not sure.  he
    ended up leaving because he can't be intimate without a committment. 
    they had just met.  she has a deaf sister.  isn't andrew supposed to
    meet someone that he is instantly attracted to?

    Wasen't Austin killed by Bo and Cord...or something like that and they
    
    buried him on Asa's land?   Remember it took Sarah a year to finally go
    
    therapy...and the she postponed the wedding like 10 times because of
    it...
    She was also afraid to leave the house then also...

    This should probably go into the history file - feel free to move if
    necessary.
    
    Regardig Austin.  I can't remember who shot him - but I do remember
    that Gabrielle saw the whole thing.  Asa and/or Cord buried him but
    he wasn't really dead.  He came back and haunted Sarah - now that I
    think of it - I think it was Sarah that shot him.  I remember everyone
    thought that she was crazy cause she kept seeing him and everyone
    thought he was dead.  
    
    kc
    

    Yes it was Sarah who shot him.  Now she keeps having flashbacks
    to some of the scenes with Austin and some of the things that
    happened while she was kidnapped. They have re-edited some of the
    scenes with Autin so we don't see her face.  
    
    

    The reason Gabby saw it all was that she was there to give Austin some
    blackmail money. Sarah shot him. Asa and Cord buried him. Gabby knew
    where. Also Gabby took the bloody money from Austins supposidly dead
    body. Why was Austin blackmailing her what for?? Anyone remember??
     Didn't Bo go and check afterwards to see if a body was there. It
    was a mountain man Austin killed and put there to cover up his being
    alive. Austin ended up dieing in the apartment complex Asa hed bulit
    and where he had been holding Sarah captive. This was one of the times
    Vikki was shot. Megan saw it and this was when she turned into Ruby
    Bright.
    Barbara

    I am not sure, but I think the reason Austin was blackmailing Gabrielle
    was because he had found out that Gabrielle had switched Michael Grand
    and Brenda's babies.

    
    .1130 your right - that was why Austin was blackmailing her.
    
    OLTL was really good back then!
    
    kc
    

    That was it thanks for jogging my memory.

    I'll try to do a "quickie" update...
    
    Tina found C.J. with the diamonds he got from Al.  Al found them hidden
    in the attic and believed they were marbles.  Carlo figured out Tina
    and Cain have his diamonds because Cain pawned one ($70,000).  Carlo
    grabbed Tina and Cain and when they refused to give him the diamonds,
    Carlo locked them in a boiler room all night.  After a "steamy" night
    of being handcuffed together, Cain was able to open the handcuffs and
    they escaped.  Clint and Vicki were very upset because they figured
    Tina had spent the night in bed with Cain.
    Blair got Dorian to sign a statement saying she caused Victor Lords
    death.  She hid the confession in a bunch of papers for Dorian to sign
    and she signed it without knowing.
    Bo and Sarah are still together in their mountian hideaway.  Bo felt
    guilty and called Cassie.  He told her he was still in Virginia but she
    called him a liar and said she checked up on him.  She told him to
    "COME HOME RIGHT NOW! or this marriage is OVER!".  Sarah told him to go
    and he said no, he is staying there with her.  YAY!!!
    Andrew ran into that bimbo (can't remember her name) at the bank
    machine and she gave him a hard time because he wouldn't "make love" to
    her the other night.  I hope they aren't keeping this actress around as
    a love interest for Andrew.  If she does stay, I hope she stops
    puckering those lips of hers all the time!  Anyway, Andrew went to Megan's
    grave (which looks an awful lot like Sarah's old grave) and ran into Marty.
    She was actually acting like a human instead of a spoiled brat and Andrew 
    was impressed.  She told Megan she was sorry for being such a jerk and 
    wished she had been nice to her.  Then she started coming on to Andrew but
    got really upset when he wouldn't go along with it.  She went to see Jason 
    and dragged him up to his room for a little "afternoon delight".  She 
    found a childs book that Leanne had been using to teach Jason to read and
    teased him about the book.  He threw her out before anything happened.
    Oh yes, Jason is back at Wanda's.  He and Dorian had a fight about her
    being too possesive and he moved out.

    thinking on her part.  My theory is that she'll have the baby, somehow
    it will come out that the baby is Max's, after paternity tests will
    show the baby really is Kevin's.
    
    Short update from yesterday...
    
    Carlo grabbed Cain again and threatened him about the diamonds.  Carlo
    ended up cutting Cains had with a knife.  Alex screamed and really
    seemed upset by it.  Then Carlo's thugs beat Cain up.  I think Tina is
    ready to give the diamonds back.
    Sarah remembered everthing about the white roses, etc.  She saw Carlo
    kill someone.  She doesn't know who Scarecrow is though.  No one does
    yet.
    Cain left Renee's diary for Asa to read.  He tore some pages out so it
    looked like Renee was involved with Carlo.  Asa is drinking up a storm.
    We also found out yesterday through Carlo that Cain is embezzeling
    money from Asa.

    I read that there is going to be a murder on OLTL soon.  The
    murder victim is....
    
    Carlo.  There are also a whole list of suspects, too.  One would
    have to be Alex because she is inquiring about his will.
    
    Stephanie

    FYI...
    
    	It was said in an earlier show that Scarecrow was an FAB agent that
    was working to try and catch Carlo.  He was shot by Carlo when he Carlo
    found out that Scarecrow was not a mobster but really an FAB agent.
    
    	This was disclosed by Alex when she was trying to blackmale CArlo
    into marrying her.  The tapes that Scarecrow was making on Carlo when
    he was alive, were placed in the vest of an old scarecrow at a country
    inn.  Alex lead the police to the tapes, but later stole them from the
    evidence room. 
    
    	Her trump card was the fact that Scarecrow was wearing a wire when
    he was shot, so the murder was recorded.  Alex has that tape.... thats
    why Carlo married her.  Sarah was in the garage and saw Carlo shoot
    Scarecrow.  
    
    Personal Commentary...... Poor Cassie.....!
    
    Also, when do you think that Dorian will find out that Attie is really
    her sister and Blair is her Neice?  That will be a scene to
    remember....
    
    Lisa

    They showed previews last week about the murder and different suspects.
    They were BO, Sarah, Asa, Rene, Julia, and Alex I might have left one
    or two out. One part of the preview is Alex aiming a gun at Carlo. Asa
    says here's to you CArlo Hesser Aiming a gun also.
    	From the scenes yesterday, do you think Carlo Raped Sarah also? She
    was dreaming she was in bed and the door opened. It was CArlo he kept
    coming at her bathed in a red glow (devil like you know). She kept so
    no no, as he climbed on the bed toward her. Bo woke her up about this
    time. I missed them making love, they must have because they were both
    in bed Bo with no top on.
			Barbara

    well, it ought to be interesting to see alex now with all that money if
    carlo is going to die.  what about stephanie too?  those two sharing a
    house without carlo ought to be a scream.
    
    i can't believe that they are going to put jason and leeann together. 
    major mistake.  he has some chemistry with marty who i think, is just
    beautiful.  
    
    luna and max seem to be getting closer, or is it just wishful thinking?
    
    ANY UPDATES?  :)
    
    cj

    Heres a quick update for 3/31:
    
    	Sarah and Bo are still in the cabin.  She asks Bo what he will do 
        when they go back to town.  He says that he will tell Cassie the
        truth... that they made love.... He said that just looking at them
        people will be able to tell that they are in love.
    
        Blair prints the news of her promotion on the front page of the
        Intruder to Dorians displeasure.  Dorian and Cassie seem to be
        getting closer (it nice to see).  Dorian spills her guts to Cassie
        about her heartbreak over Jason and Cassie does the same about
    	Bo.  Cassie considers quitting the Banner because she does not
    	want to work with Bo.  Cassie has lunch with John and hires him
    	as her lawyer for a quickie divorce.
    
    	Cain stops by Tinas with the Million dollars he got from fencing 
        1/2 the diamonds.  Tina ponders whether she should keep the money
        and the rest of the diamonds or give them to Carlo.  She worries
        for Cains safety since Carlo's men beat him up.  The share a tender
        kiss just as Vicki walks in.. She sees the money on the table and
    	lays into Tina and insists she turn it all over to the police. 
    
    	Max visits Attie and brings her flowers.  Attie is very upset.  She
        tells Max that Blair is going to be hurt.  She says that Asa wants
        Blair and that Blair is going to hurt Dorian with the "Murder
    	Paper".  She is refering to the murder confession that Dorian
    	unknowingly signed about her late  husband.
    
    	Asa and Renee' have another argument about her Diary. Cain left it
        out for Asa to see.  He conviently ripped out several pages where
    	she talked about how much she loves Asa and left the pages in where
    	she talkes about how she thinks Carlo has some good in him....
    
    	Thats about it...
    
    Lisa

    I haven't been watching but have kept up with notes.....one question,
    did Sarah and Bo divorce????  I know that she had told Bo that she
    would divorce him, but I never saw them actually sign any paperwork.
    
    Thanks,
    /red

    /red
    
    Well, Sarah and Bo supposedly filed for divorce but I didn't think it
    went through yet.  Then when they were talking about it yesterday,
    they talked like the divorce was final.  Bo asked Sarah to marry him
    again (after he and Cassie divorce I'm sure).
    
    Marie

    i caught a bit yesterdays show.  stephanie was on.  she is moving into
    carlo's house.  boy is her hair nice.  i thought it was too
    blonde/white before but now it has grown on me.  its very straight and
    short.  she looks very good in it.  she found the tapes that alex stole
    from her in her car and came in to confront alex about it.  she tried
    to play dumb but stephanie knew better. when alex asked where she found
    them she replied, "in your car".  she asked how she got in to it and
    steph told her that the attendent had an extra key.  then she says, "i
    didn't think the theme from the wizard of oz was you so i looked at it"
    or something like that. alex commented that she is a smart girl.  i
    missed a bit here and the next thing i know carlo comes in, gives her a
    big hug and notices that she is crying.  i don't think that she
    confronted carlo about the tapes or anything.  later on alex and carlo
    were in the living room snuggling and she asked how scarecrow was.  he
    grabbed her neck and started strangling her and told her again never to
    bring up his name.
    
    the day before cain and max had a fight.  max asked caine if he wants
    to be a little buchanan.  he got very upset and told max never to call
    him pathetic again.  cain also gave asa a drink and renee' flipped.  
    
    leanne and jason are giving the reading lessons another shot.  she got
    angry with kevin earlier in the house because she wants to work and he
    doesn't want her to.  he made a comment about her not having to work
    now that she is a ... and she finished it for him, a buchanen and told
    him that she didn't care.  she ended up at wanda's crying at the bar
    and jason and her talked.  she is not happy in the marriage and he
    knows it.
    
    that is all i remember, anyone else fill in the blanks.. no?
    
    
    cj

    Just to answer an earlier question....
    
    Bo and Sarahs' divorce is final.  The papers came and thats what pushed
    Sarah to run away to the cabin and attempt to kill herself.

    Middlesex News, based out of Framingham, MA.

    Darn, darn, darn.... please tell me Carlo didn't get killed of
    yesterday.  When I reset the time on my VCR I forgot to check to make
    sure it was on a.m. or p.m. and NO SOAPS YESTERDAY!  Yikes!!!  I missed
    them all.  Did anyone see yesterday's show?  Is Carlo dead?
    
    Marie

    Sorry Marie, Carlo is dead.  Not only is he as dead as Will Cortlandt,
    they did the same body bag scene with him, zipping him right up and
    carting him out of the attic.
    
    Julia is, right now the prime suspect.  Max and Nigel found her lying
    face down on the stairs, but got her to come to.  She tells Max about
    hearing shots in the attic and Max runs up to see what happened.  Carlo
    is lying there dying and says "Renee   pause   Forgive me.  Then he
    dies.  Max calls the police and Troy arrives and investigates.  Hank
    Gannon then comes in and takes over, being sarcastic and rude to
    everything.  He's mad because someone took away the pleasure of locking
    the door on Carlo, i.e. putting him in jail.
    
    Hank thoroughly questions Julia, who claims she was in her room and
    being scared about the storm, locked her bedroom door.  The room was lit
    by candlelight since the electricity was out and Julia saw a lot of
    shadows.  Then she heard someone come in the house and up the stairs. 
    Then she heard another set of footsteps.  Then she heard three shots
    and left her room to investigate.  Then, at the top of the stairs,
    someone pushed her wheelchair (with her in it) down the steps and she
    was knocked unconscious.  Her watch broke at 9:30 in the fall.
    
    They question Max too, but not as much.  Then Max overhears Hank
    telling Troy that he believes Julia might not be paralized.  Hank is
    going to check with her doctor.  Max tells Hank that Julia is an
    invalid and Hank says, we'll see.
    
    There was stuff on Cain and Tina, and Asa and Renee that I forwarded
    through.  Some of it was Tina and Cain at his hotel room eating junk
    food all night and talking.  Renee was reading her diary and Asa came
    home drunk.
    
    Cassie's confrontation with Bo continues.  She is yelling at him and
    looking really desparate.  Bo keeps apologizing but Cassie tells him
    that he is a liar and a coward.  She gave him the chance to tell her
    how he felt about Sarah after the wedding, but he coudn't face his
    feelings.  Then Sarah come in looking very dazed.  Cassie demands to
    talk to her and Bo tells Cassie that Sarah is in no shape to talk. 
    Cassie doesn't care, she want to get this over with.  Sarah agrees. 
    Cassie lays into Sarah about her victim act.  Sarah is very composed
    and just really listens to Cassie, telling her she understands how hurt
    Cassie must be.  Cassie continues to taunt Sarah, "Poor Sarah, Help me
    Bo, I've taken pills Bo, etc.  Then Cassie leaves.
    
    Bo and Sarah, after making love, talk about if they can live happily
    knowing how much they have hurt Cassie.  Bo tells Sarah that they had
    to tell her the truth, it would have hurt more if they had waited.
    
    Hank tells Alex that Carlo is dead.  She is playing the grieving widow
    when Stephanie comes in.  Alex tells Steph that Carlo is dead.  Steph
    is really sad and they hug for a minute, then Hank tells them that he
    wants to question them.  Alex tells him to come back later and Hank
    agrees.  Then, Alex puts her arms out to Stephanie but Stephanie gives
    her a really mean look and runs upstairs.
    
    

    Oh no!  Julia's watch broke at 9:30?!?!  I suppose they even copied AMC
    when Carlo got killed.  You never saw who did it, just the look of fear
    on Carlo's face?  And most of Llandview hated Carlo.  Sheesh... dejavu
    
    Thanks for the info Cheryl!
    
    Marie

    
    It gets worse, even though Carlo is dead his contract is not up until
    June. We will see for the next few months various versions of the
    murder played out.

    Please, I can't believe they are doing this.  I read too, somewhere,
    that someone asked if these two shows spoke to each other and
    questioned why they would want to compete with each other.  Good
    questions!!!!  It seems they could have held up on this murder until
    the other was solved.

    straight???!!!

    just curious!
    
    
    cj
    

Just a quicky (I have tons of work to be done).


Renee found the bloody shirt and the gun that Asa hid in the cabinet.
She confronted him wanting to know if he had shot Carlo.  He her that he
had not but wished he had.  Renee took the shirt and gun and left the
room.  Later we see her sitting in a room looking at the shirt.  She
places it in a bag and hides it under her chair when there is a knock
on the door.  Gannon walks in and after chatting with her for a while,
spots the bloody shirt under the chair.  He pulls it out and wants to
know where Asa was the night before.  Asa comes in and trys to throw
Gannon out but is unsuccessful.  Gannon demands to know where Asa went
after he left the restaurant where he had the fight with Carlo.  Renee
tells him that he followed her home and they were at home all night.
Gannon accepts that and leaves.  Asa thanks Renee for covering for him
but she refuses to accept his thanks.

Gannon and Troy list out all the possible suspects on the chalk board
and try to come up with their reasons for wanting to kill Asa and with
their alibis.  Alex comes stomping in demanding to know why they have
not yet found the killer.  Gannon tells her that she is a suspect and
she goes into a hysterical weeping jag which he tells her to come off of.

At the scene of the crime, they found a scarf with a "C" on it.  They 
wonder whether it belonged to Carlo but theorize that it may have belonged
to Cain.  They call him in for questioning and Gannon proceeds to badger
him about his dealings with Carlo.  Cain refuses to answer and puts them
off with quick side-steps.

Earlier, Cain went to Llanfair and tried to get Tina to go off with him to
Rio.  She refuses to go with him and asks him whether he is in trouble or
not.  He side steps the questions and tells her that they should really
get away and relax a bit.

Max comes over and confronts Tina on her whereabouts the night before.
She refuses to tell him where she was and he gets angry.  He tells her that
he covered for her with the police by not telling them about the diamonds
that were found in the attic.  

Bo and Sara come back to Megan's house and make plans to "Eat, drink and
remarry."  Shiela comes by and tells them that Carlo has been murdered.
Bo is happy with the news and Sara just stares.  Later Gannon calls the
house and wants to talk to Sara but Bo tells him that Sara is asleep
(as she stands by him listening).  Gannon wants Bo to bring Sara by the
station so that he can ask her some questions about her relationship with
Carlo.

Cassie goes to the Intruder looking for Dorian.  She finds Blair and asks
her why the Intruder did not run the story about Carlo Hesser's murder.
Blair tells her that she cannot divulge their marketing strategy to someone
from a rival paper.  Cassie tells her that she is leaving the Banner and
that it is over between her and Bo.  Cassie asks Blair to have Dorian give
her a call and leaves.  Blair calls Dorian and tells her to come over to her
office right away.  When Dorian arrives, Blair suggests that Cassie and
Dorian go away on a cruise.  

Asa is thrilled that the Intruder has not run any of the pictures of him and
Carlo fighting.  He calls Blair and asks to meet her right away.  They meet
at a restauraunt and he tries to pay her for her "services" but she refuses
money.  He tells her that he will never forget what she has done for him.
Blair makes a snide remark that she wouldn't want to do anything to cause the
demise of the Intruder because that would make Dorian very upset.

    Partial update for Wednesday:
    
    
    	One of Max's neighbors goes to the police saying she remembers
    that the night of the murder there was also a terrible storm.  About
    the same time of the murder she was on the road in her powder blue car
    and was side-swipped by a big silver car that was moving 'like a bat of
    of hell'.  She thougth it awfully strange someone was driving like that 
    on such a terrible night.... meanwhile
    
    Back at the ranch, Renee is about to get the car (yes folks, a silver
    car) when she notices a dent in the front bumper.  She say to herself
    "Asa never said he had an accident".   Maybe Asa and Haley were both
    out drinking together and neither can remember who killed who! Maybe
    Asa pulled out the dented bumper with a crowbar!  
    
    Alex has most of the diamonds hidden in the house.  She is admiring
    them and talking to herslef about how Carlo left her before getting her
    all of the diamonds... well she just has to do it herself.  A knock on
    the door and here is Charlotte.   Charlotte makes some nasty commnets
    about how Alex doesn't need to bother whipping up the tears, she knows
    Alex killed Carlo.  Steph comes in and a few minutes later a man from
    the funeral home comes over to deliver an urn with the cremated remains 
    of Carlo.   Alex sure didn't wait long did she???!! 
    
    The police come to question Sarah as to her whereabouts on the night of
    the murder.  She told Bo earlier she snuck away from the lodge that
    night and been out driving in the rain storm and sat by the lake for a 
    while.   When she was speaking to the police (Hank?), she lied and said
    she was with Bo the entire time - every minute.  Bo said yes she was.
    
    that's all I saw...
    

    
    
    I read somewhere (one of the supermarket tabloids) that Carlo is really
    still alive.  That his death is being faked.  I know that it might not
    be true but I thought I'd share this with anyway.  I'll try to 
    remember to enter that article as written tonight.

    Is Cassie an attorney? I remember she worked as PI with Jon Russell.

    >> Is Cassie an attorney?
    
    No.  She worked with Jon but was supposed to be there to help at the
    office and not to do PI work but you know Cassie...she couldn't keep
    her nose out of things.  She was an investigative reporter at the time.
    
    Don't have time for a full update but...on Friday's show the police
    figure Cain killed Carlo but alot of people feel Alex could have done
    it also.  And...Alex was fuming because her lawyer couldn't get to
    Carlo's will to change it and she was left with the penthouse and the
    doctor bag.  Stephanie and Charlotte split the rest of his estate.  He
    left some expensive painting to Renee.
    
    Marie

    Update on what's been going on....
    
    The police are looking for Cain because they believe he killed Carlo.
    Tina and Cain have figured out that Alex set Cain up.  Tina dressed as
    Alex and went to the pawn shop where Cain fenced the diamonds.  They
    guy admitted he sold them back to Carlo to give to Alex.  Tina is
    really falling for Cain (I still think he's using her but maybe not).
    It looked like Blair was trying to destroy the Intruder and Dorian
    figured it out BUT I think now Blair is trying to lower the stock price
    so she can buy up alot of shares and end up owning the Intruder.  Asa
    gave her a very large loan yesterday to buy as much stock as she
    wanted.  Yesterday, Blair printed the picture of Dorian and Jason
    together on the front page.  Babs (the rich witch who gave Tina and
    Sheila a hard time) called Dorian and told her the country club wanted
    her to resign her membership and not to show up at the dance (there is
    some big country club dance happening).  Jason saw the paper and knew 
    Dorian would be upset so went to see her.  Jason talked her into
    crashing the dance with him.
    Leanne wanted to spend some alone time with Kevin but Vicki came in and
    said they were all going to the dance.  Vicki told Leanne she could
    borrow one of Tina's maternity dresses and Leanne said she didn't wear
    hand-me-downs.  She came down wearing a dress that was very tight
    fitting and her belly stuck out a mile.  It looked horrible.  Vicki
    tried to nicely convince Leanne to wear something else and Leanne had a
    fit.  Kevin came in just then and Leanne told him they were moving out
    that night OR ELSE!
    Cassie quit the Banner and just happened to fall into a job working for
    Hank Gannon as an investigator.  She saw the statement that Bo and
    Sarah made and knows they lied.  She's not sure what to do yet but of
    course will tell Hank that Sarah lied.
    Cassie was having lunch with Andrew after asking his advise on what to
    do when Hank came in to introduce her to a detective that would be
    working with her.  It was the bimbo (can never remember her name) that 
    tried to pick up Andrew in the dive bar.  She got mad because he didn't 
    tell her he was a minister and he said "you didn't tell me you were a 
    cop either".
    I think that's about it.
    
    Marie

    Why is Leanne so upset with living at the mansion with the Buchanans? 
    I thought she was only a couple months pregnant.  Is her stomach really
    that big?  

    Her stomach has "blossomed" BIG TIME.  As of yesterday she looks to be
    about 7 months along.  Ah, soap land.  I guess she'll be having the
    baby any time now.
    As to why she is so upset living in the mansion, she thinks eveyone
    there believes she is some country bumpkin that isn't good enough for
    the Buchanans.  She's the one with the problem.  She's also upset
    because Kevin doesn't want her to work.

    much better since they did that!!

    re:  -2  It's not you.  I can't stand his character either.  He must be
    a good actor, huh???
    
    Cheryl

    It's not just you.  Hank Gannon is a MAJOR jerk.  I hope they don't
    plan to set him up with Sheila.  He's sure been trying hard enough to
    take her away from Troy.  They are making Troy look wimpy all of a
    sudden too.  I must have missed something also.  A week or so ago, Troy
    asked Sheila to marry him and she never did answer (or am I dreaming
    this).

    It's been rather boring and I didn't get to see Monday because of the
    Boston Marathon being on the only ABC station I get but here goes what
    I can tell you....
    Tina was arrested for hiding Cain.  Cain remembered he broke into
    Alex's apartment on the night Carlo was killed and therefore has an
    alibi - the security tape.  Cain turned himself in and told Hank Gannon
    about the tape.  Hank got the tape and cleared Cain but he decided to
    keep Tina and Cain in jail one more night.  When he did let them out,
    instead of Tina going home to her kids, she went back to the abandoned
    theater that Cain had been hiding in.  They hid the money from the
    diamonds they already sold and the diamonds Tina still has in the 
    theater.  Everyone is starting to believe that Alex killed Carlo and
    set Cain up to take the blame.  Tina and Cain are going to play
    detective and try to get evidence that Alex is the one who planted the
    diamonds in Cain's room.  Tina and Cain are now working with the
    police.
    Max finally came to his senses when Luna told him that Blair and Asa
    are having an affair and went to see Blair at the Intruder to dump her.
    She denied that she and Asa were having an affair (they haven't yet but
    not because Blair isn't trying).  Oh, yes...Renee left town saying
    she's divorcing Asa because of Blair.  The family got together to
    discuss what they should do about the whole thing.  Leanne didn't want
    any part of the family meeting and kept looking at her watch.  She
    picked a fight so she could walk out of the meeting and go to see
    Jason.  Viki heard Leanne talking to Jason on the phone and thinks
    Leanne is having an affair (she didn't know it was Jason).  Leanne went
    to Wanda's to give Jason another reading lesson and Dorian called.  She
    wants Jason to go with her to her home town to try and find out some
    information about Blair (I guess Dorian found out that Blair was there
    asking questions about her even before Blair came to Llandview).
    Jason told Leanne he had to go help Dorian.
    That's about all I remember.

    Just thought I'd add the TV Guide article titled:  Soap Stars CAN go
    Home Again.
    
    It starts out:  The other man's grass isn't always greener-sometimes
    it's just full of weeds.  So what happens when and ex-soap sensation
    quits pounding the prime-time pavement and takes back his day job?
    
    I'll just add the OLTL captions:
    
    OLTL's James DePaiva(Max):  Let's just put it this way-next time we
    wanna see a wooden performance, we'll rent  Walt Disney's "Pinocchio." 
    Score:  3  out of 10.
    
    OLTL's Tonja Walker (Alex):  Because of some extremly bizarre executive
    judgement, the hilarious, totally hip Walker has survived a full year
    of on-again, off-again status.  But she's worth the confusion.  And her
    latest incarnation-as a devious, dead-broke dominatrix-she's demented
    enough to scare a Central Park mugger.  Score:  10 out of 10

    Quick update...
    
    Tina and Cain have slept together and she finally remembered yesterday
    that she has kids at home but still hasn't made her way there yet.
    The pawn broker who Carlo bought the diamonds back from turned up dead.
    Alex either killed him or had him done in because he could link her to
    the diamonds.
    Renee told the police the truth, that she and Asa were not together the
    night of Carlo's murder.  She's also filed for divorce.  Asa told Blair
    that he won't "allow" Renee to divorce him... "women don't divorce Asa
    Buchanon, Asa divorces them".  Blair asked him point blank if he loves
    Renee but he never said yes, just that he won't let her divorce him.
    Hank Gannon arrested Asa yesterday for the murder of Carlo because of
    pressure from Herb Callison to find the killer.  Herb thinks that Hank
    and Cassie are concentrating on Alex because they both hate her and not
    because they have any real proof she's the killer.
    Dorian came very close to finding out that her sister, Agatha (Addie)
    is still alive.  She got to the mental hospital and found her sisters
    records.  The records said that her sister died during child birth.  Of
    course, Blair had fixed the record to say that.  Dorian is now trying
    to find out what happened to the child (Blair).

    A little more...
    
    Troy asked Sheila to marry him.  She hadn't given him an answer.  She
    went to talk to Andrew and explained that she should jump at the chance
    to marry Troy and how he was reliable, etc., but that she met someone
    who, even though he's arrogant, pushy, disgusting, etc., makes her feel
    alive and excited...something that Troy never has (YUCK!  I hope she
    doesn't fall for Hank).  Anyway, she went to Roadies bar with Andrew
    and he talked her into singing.  Hank was quite taken with her singing
    abilities and at the end of the song went up to her and kissed her. 
    She went running out and directly to see Troy.  She accepted his
    marriage proposal.
    
    Marie 

    well you are not going to believe this, but i was home for two weeks
    injured and by the end of the first week decided to take my nap between
    2-4 most days.  oltl is really the pits now.  i have put up with it for
    so long but the acting just is so terrible i opted to watching loving
    and amc instead.
    
    anyways... the tina and cain thing at first was amuzing but its become
    pathetic now.  their acting is no longer complimenting eachother and if
    the producers think that they are comedy relief its more like barf
    relief.  their scene in the jail was so stupid.
    
    i kinda like shiela with hank.  she is a very pretty women, with class
    and a good voice.  its about time they did something more with her then
    put her with the "man" that is yes, reliable and oh so boring.
    
    renee's acting is up there with cains too.  she is pathetic and i am
    only hoping that she goes to nevada for good.
    
    vicki, i can't believe she thinks that a pregnant women of leanne's
    timeframe would consider fooling around.  and give jason some credit
    vicki.
    
    where is marty?  i didn't see her at all.
    
    did you notice that cassie's hair is now straight all the time?  and
    what is with the new sargent?  i don't care for her but she has an
    attraction for andrew and it might be interesting....
    
    what's with dr. jonah's?  he used to be on ryan's hope.  i think he is
    nice looking and would like to see him with sarah.  her and bo are
    just as bad as whiney and bo.
    
    well, just my 2 cents... chow!

    cj   Hope you're feeling better!!
    
    When the police sargent -whatsherface- (I always blank on her name 'cause 
    I can't stand her) first showed up in town, I thought she was a hooker!
    She picked Andrew up in Roadies bar.  She didn't know he was a minister
    and she didn't tell him she was a cop.  She might not be so bad if she
    could stop puckering her lips while she talks (icky!).  Anyway, he got
    cold feet when she took him to her apartment and left while she went to
    change into something "more comfortable".  They met after that as
    Andrew the minister and Sargent Vega? the cop.  They've been throwing 
    little digs at one another ever since (more on her part than his).
    I was also wondering myself what happened to Marty.  She just
    disappeared without a trace!
    I also agree about the Tina and Cain thing....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

The police sergeant's name is Maggie Vega. 

Scoop

    Here is a quick update for yesterday 4/28/92:
    
    Asa and Renee' have a long talk.  Asa attempts to get Renee' to forgive
    him.  He blames his actions on the alcohol.  Renee' asks Asa what she
    didn't have that Blair had - class, looks, what?  Renee' says she needs
    time to think and asks Asa to leave.
    
    Asa immediately goes over to Blairs appartment.  Blair appologizes and 
    says she is sorry that they will not be able to visit with each other
    any more.  Asa says "who says we cannot visit anymore, we just need to
    be discrete."  Prior to Asa's visit, Addie left the apartment to go
    visit Max.  She is upset because Blair told her that she likes Asa and
    was going to be the next Mrs. Buchannan and that her relationship with
    Max was over.  Max finds Addie in the park and brings her home.  He
    walks in on Asa and Blair and yells at her.  He says she was obviously
    too busy with other things to take care of Addie.  He says that Blair
    and Asa deserve each other and that Renee' is better off without the
    old man!
    
    Dorian gets a phone call which tells her that her sisters child was
    dead.  She was relieved and tells Jason that for a moment she actually
    thought that Blair was her sister Agatha's child.  She also tells Jason
    how when they were children that they all had nicknames.  Hers was
    Dori, her sister Melindas wass Lindy, and that her sister Agatha's was
    Addie!
    
    Sarah has lunch with Shelia and Shelia offers Sarah her old job back at
    the hospital as patient advocate.  She shows off her new engagement
    ring but obviously has second thought.  She runs into Hank in the park
    and he taunts her about accepting the proposal from Troy.  He asks her
    if Troy excites her the way he does?  Does Troy kiss you the way I do? 
    He tells her to remember how he makes her feel and to see if she feels
    the same way about Troy.
    
    Vicki sees Lee-Anne and Jason having a reading lesson and scolds
    Lee-anne for flirting with Jason.  She vows to Clint that she is going
    to tell Kevin about what she saw because she does not want Kevin to be
    hurt by her.
    
    Tina has second thoughts about her romance with Cain.  She tells Vicki
    that she is going to end the relationship with Cain and to stop
    worrying.
    
    
    Lisa

    
    I kind of like Tina and Cain together!  The story line of Tina
    
    getting in to her little schemes and hiding them from everyone was
    
    getting really old...I like the idea of her having a partner in crime!!
    
    I think that they are great together!!!!!!!!!

    Scoop:
    
    Insiders say Thom Christopher (Carlo) has signed a two-year contract
    with OLTL.  Huh?
    
    Executive producer Linda Gottlieb says:  "We are not confirming or
    denying Thom Christopher's return, but if you've been watching OLTL
    then you know that Carlo Hesser is absolutely, categorically dead.  On
    the other hand, you never know...stay tuned."
    
    Oh no, I see another "they didn't kill him, they killed his twin
    brother" story on the horizon.  However, we won't know until July who
    killed Carlo.
    
    Cheryl

    Not the twin brother again, they did that one with Marco Dane/Mario
    Coreelli back in 1979-80.  I have to admit Carlo is one of their 
    most interresting characters.

    I should add that the Twin Brother theory was mine, not the mag's.  I
    was just predicting off the top of my head.
    
    So, does anyone have an update?  My cable box (for some reason) switched
    to channel 2 right in the middle of AMC yesterday.  I'm particulary
    interested in the Dorian/Addie/Blair stuff.  The other stuff is boring,
    IMVHO.
    
    Thanks.
    
    Cheryl

    Sorry, I didn't get to watch last night (had a hot date!) so I don't
    have an update.
    The Carlo story....  Maybe he never really died and it was all to set
    Alex up.
    
    Marie

    jazzz, i like cain and tina together too but the writers are making
    their scenes kinda stupid, IMVHO.
    
    now, i don't know about carlo's twin brother being dead.  why would he
    say, "renee, please forgive me?" and, didn't the coronor zip up the
    body bag saying that he was dead?  how could he fake that?  i do
    however believe that he is still around and will come back but how?
    
    i think that the shiela story will be interesting, you know she isn't
    going to marry troy.
    
    i can't believe that they are going to drag this out till july.  that
    is stupid imo, they are going to lose the viewers interest way before
    then.  
    
    cj

    
    Thom Christopher will probably re-join the show as Carlo's long lost
    brother out to get whoever murdered his brother.  He will also end up
    being Stephanie's real father or some such nonsense.  Gad this show is
    in the toilet!  Luna's about the only one I can stand anymore.
    
    anyway a couple minutes from yesterday, before I turned it off :^( 
    
    
    Blair invites Asa to meet her in a suite at the Buchanan place to
    discuss a business propsal.  They discuss him giving her some money
    to buy the controlling shares of the Intruder - now that she has driven
    the stock price into the dirt.  He wants to know what the collateral is
    ans she says "what payment will you take?".  He says, that since the
    whole town thinks they are having an affair anyway, he might as well 
    make it true.  They start kissing... I start gaging!   
    
    Tina tells Cain she thinks they better cool down their relationship as
    she still keeps thinking about Cord.  Cain agrees and as soon as he
    leaves, Tina is wondering why he didn't even put up a fight.
    
    Back at Wanda's, Leann is talking with Max who is rubbing her belly,
    telling her how great it is she is having a baby and how proud she
    should be of herself. etc... She is looking at him with that puppy-dog
    Leann face.  Like she was ready to blurt out "it's your baby Max".
    
    I think I'll become an AMC convert!  Much more excitement and better
    acting!               
    

    >> He will also end up being Stephanie's real father or some such
    nonsense.
    
    Wow!  I never thought of that one.  good thought!

    I cannot stand Carlos character!!!!!  I wish they would have just left
    him for dead!  He is an annoying man,and his acting is terrible!

    storyline!

    Did any one eles notice on yesterdays show when Maggie and the DA(can't
    think of his name right now) were using the blackboard and it had
    writing on one side and a basketball rim on the other side, anyway,
    ther was a knock at their day and the DA turned over the board to the
    side that had the basketball rim on it, and then they opened the door
    and it was Max and Julia, then they had the camrea look at the DA and
    the board had the writing on it. 
    
    So I guess my point here is they screwed up in the editing and splicing

    	Alex has been arrested for Carlo's murder.  Julia had told Hank 
    	that before she completely blacked out the night of the murder she
        remembers someone lifiting her arm and removing her watch. Hank
        suspects that Carlo was shot earlier than previously thought and poor
        Mssss. Alex does not have an alibi for earlier in the evening.  Her
    	lawyer also told Hank that she tried to change Carlo's will. 
        Motive and no alibi.  Can't you just see her face?  snarling and
        hissing! :^}
    
    	After Renee took back the alibi she gave for Asa, Blair said Asa
        was really with her the night of the murder.  Renee went to see
        Blair and Blair told her yes, she did sleep with Asa... Meanwhile
    	Asa is making a scene (drunk as a skunk) at the dinner party Vicki 
    	and Clint gave for Andrew's father the general.  After the party 
    	ends Asa tells Clint no, he never slept with Blair - just nuzzled 
    	with her.
    
        The last scence of the show, Dorian found out Asa bought the
    	controlling shares of the Inturder and then had them transferred to
    	Blair.  She goes to Blair's apartment and they are cat fighting when
    	Addie comes running and screaming out of the back room with a pair of

    like (carlo's murder, Asa/Renee') I really do love the storyline with
    Dorian/Blair and Addie.  I think that they developed the plot over an
    extended period of time and I am looking forward to what comes next.
    
    Lisa

    
    I agree with you Lisa!!!!!!!  I hate Blair and Dorian...but I can't
    stop watching them!!!!!
    
     Also I really like Max and Luna when they get into there little schemes!
    
     By the way...are they a couple yet!???

                              Eagle Eye Report!
    
    Let get real folks...... What jail would let a person have burning
    candles, a sharp knife, fork, and all that food.... No jail that I know
    about.

    I'm an AMCer but peak at OLTL every once in a while - so who's LeeAnn
    married to?????
    
    Enquiring Minds??
    

    LeeAnn is married to Kevin Buchanan, but to this day she is not
    sure is the father of her baby (Max or Kevin).
    
    

    WoW!!! I had no idea she was even pregnant!  How does she look??  I
    suppose she is pretty even prego!  And Kevin is such a doll!  Poor Max,
    always gets the raw end of everything.  I hope it's Kevin's baby!!
    
    Thanks for the info!

    Lynne,
    I agree!  I thought "how stupid!" when watching yesterday's show.
    Actually, I thought if Thel and Bob saw this show, Bob would be
    flipping out!  Did you see this show Thel?
    For those who didn't get to see it, Alex is in jail for Carlo's murder.
    She had her jail cell all fixed up with a velvet drape hanging on one
    side of the bars, a table set with candles, a fondue dish, a carving
    knife and fork, food, etc.  To top it all off, when they put Alex in
    the cell, they took her jewlery away which made all the stuff yesterday
    just that more absurd!
    More on yesterday.... Cassie put Alex in her cell and was really
    enjoying herself.  Alex told her not to be too happy because she'd be
    out soon.  Maggie and Hank went to talk to Stephanie and asked her to
    help find the murder weapon.  Stephanie was too scared and said she
    didn't know anything.  Hank threatened to throw her in jail as an
    accomplice after the fact.  She still insisted she knows nothing about
    it.
    Also on yesterday's show, Dorian figured out that Addie is her long
    lost sister Agatha who Dorian thought was dead.  She still hasn't
    figured out that Blair is Agatha/Addie's daughter.  Addie went running
    out of the house after she went after Dorian with the scissors.  Blair
    went running after her but couldn't find her.  Blair figured she must
    have gone to Max's so went there to look.  Max hadn't seen Addie and
    got Blair to tell him the story.  Blair told Max how she'd found Addie
    in the mental hospital and that Dorian left her there.  She said when
    Dorian came of age she could have gotten Addie out but just left her
    there to rot.  Actually, Dorian was told by her parents that Addie died
    of pneumonia at age 13 so didn't know Addie was in the mental hospital.
    Dorian went back to her place and Jason was waiting for her.  She told
    Jason the story and then Cassie came over.  Dorian told Cassie the
    whole story.  Neither one of them has figured out that Blair is Addie's
    child.
    There was also some boring stuff with Asa.  He's being a jerk to Clint
    and Bo and he's drinking more.
    
    Marie

    I forgot to mention, I read a few notes back that Asa had slept with
    someone besides Renee - I think Asa is disgusting - I never have liked
    him, he is too old and too ugly IMHO to bed anyone!!
    
    Just my $.02!!
    

    Marie,  No we didn't watch the show....only see it when I home, I don't
    record it.  Actually given the write-up on the jail cell, I'm glad I
    didn't see it......you are right, Bob would have been ranting!  :-)

    -2.  Asa hasn't slept with Blain yet, she did tell the 
    	 police that Asa was with her the night Carlo was
    	 murdered to give him an alibi.  She also told Renee
    	 that Asa had been with her that night in hopes of
    	 ending Asa's marriage.  You are right he is too old.
    
    

    does anyone have an update recently?  just curious.
    
    thanks in advance,
    
    cj

    Yesterday's show was another boooooorrrrrrring one.
    Tina told Cain they couldn't have a future together on Monday. 
    Tuesday, after Alex went to court for a pre-trial hearing and was
    denied bail, Tina and Cain decide to celebrate and end up...of course..
    in the abandoned theater lying on the floor.  They play kissie face for
    a while and then Tina jumps up and says she has to leave - again
    telling Cain she can't see him any more.  Oh, yes, before saying she
    had to leave, Tina comes up with this bright idea to renovate the
    theater into some kind of night club.
    Maggie questioned Alex for a while and then somehow decided she
    (Maggie) thinks Sarah is the murderer.
    Kevin and LeeAnn had a fight about her being unhappy at Llandfair.
    LeeAnn wants to move out and Kevin basically told her tough luck.
    He then accused her of having an affair with Jason.  LeeAnn talked to
    Jason about it saying how dumb an idea it was and how could ANYONE
    think she and Jason had something going.  Jason wasn't too pleased.
    Max and Blair are still looking for Addie.  A bus driver told them he
    took her to Ohio (or where ever the heck they're from) but he dropped
    her off a couple of miles from town because she was acting nuts.
    Blair admitted to Max that she took Addie from the mental hospital
    without permission and that's why she won't call the police to help
    find Addie.
    
    Marie
    

    wow, talk about speedy replies. thanks much for the update(s).
    
    so who thinks that max and blair are going to end up in bed?  he is
    very obvious that he still is attracted to her.  the way he talks about
    her anyone could figure that out.
    
    and how come dorian isn't helping them find her sister?  that is weird.
    
    does anyone know who really did kill carlo?  or thinks they did?  i
    don't think it was sara.
    
    so jason and leeann eh?  well, i guess we had it coming as he said he
    liked her a while ago.  you know her marriage isn't going to work out. 
    i don't think the baby will live either.  i just wish they would take
    off that makeup on her.  she is so pretty and it does nothing for her.
    
    what happened to marty?  this show needs a life, big time!
    
    cj

    cj
    
    >>and how come dorian isn't helping them find her sister?
    
    Dorian isn't aware yet that Addie is missing.  She's been trying to
    reach Blair but hasn't been able to yet because Blair's been out
    looking for Addie.
    
    Marie

    well, iMHO, its pretty far fetched if a supposed clever women like
    dorian can't figure out that if her sister is staying with blair that
    she is her daughter.  
    
    i wonder if tina will end up pregnant from cain.  she has always been
    very fertile.  naaa....
    
    anyone see wednesdays show?  just curious.
    
    thanks,
    
    cj

    
    I saw a scene from today's show:
    
    
    
    	Max and Blair are still looking for Addie, they can't find it
    	and Blair is getting very upset.  They  end up in a room (don't
    	know if at Max's or Blair's but), they get confortable and Max
    	tries to get intimate with her only to discover there has never
    	been  ANYONE. Yes, Blair is a virgin.

    
    OH I AM GOING TO BE ILL!!!!!!!  This virgin thing has got to go!
    
                             AND TAKE BLAIR WITH IT!!!!!
    
    This show is getting WAY dumb!   I give up!
    
    
                                                                    jazzzzz
    (but i still wish Luna would get a BIG storyline she is great!)
    

    how old is blair supposed to be anyways?  and, didn't she say when max
    and her first started talking something about sex?  i can't remember
    what it was but something about never having sex with feelings??? they
    were at that bar, remember????
    
    any updates?  where is marty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    
    cj
    
    (p.s. who thinks that dr. jonah will become a more involved character? 
    looks like they are introducing maggie, andrew and him to have some
    more air time.)
    

    Hi back from maternity leave.  there is no way i would ever find time
    to read everything since Jan.  Maybe during the slow summer months.  
    It's great to be able to atleast peek into the soaps file.
    
    going back to a few notes back re: asa & blair.  I remember hearing he
    was married to a girl approx. tina's age  and that they had a new born. 
    That could have been 5-7 yrs ago.

    HERE IS A QUICK UPDATE FROM FRIDAY MAY 8TH...	
    
    
    	This was a really great show.... Max and Blair find Addie in the
    attic at Max's house.  They meet her there and say she never has to see
    Dorian again.  Just then Dorian, who was having Blair followed, comes
    into the attic and Addie goes bonkers.... She screams and cowers in the
    corner.  Blair says that her mother is so sick because of all the
    horrible things that Dorian did to her as a child.  She recalls how
    Dorian put a snake in her bed, cut her long hair, stabbed her with
    scissors, and pushed her down the stairs.
    
    	Just then, Dorian tells Blair that she has it all wrong, that
    Dorian did not do those things to Addie, that Addie did those things to
    Dorian.  Thats why Dorians parents put Addie in the mental hospital, to
    keep her from hurting Dorian and her other sister.  Blair refuses to
    believe that she could be so wrong.  Dorian then takes her suit coat
    off and shows Blair several scars on her back from the scissors attack
    when she was a child.  Blair still is a little sketpical.  Just then
    Addie tells Dorian she is "Bad" and that she is going to put her in the
    closet again.  She believes that she is a child again.  Dorina begins
    to cry and ask for Addies forgivness.  She said that as a child she
    wished Addie would die.  Addie says she is a bad girl and that it is
    her job to punish Dorian.  Blair finally realizes that Dorian was
    telling the truth and that her mother was the one who committed all
    those horrible acts.  Just then, Addie screams and runs towrd the
    window and throws herself out, crashing to the ground below!  (show
    ended with this scene..... it was really emotional)
    
    	Other tidbits.... Kevin caught Leeann and Jason kissing in his
    room.  He says that he made a mistake in marrying her and he storms
    back to the mansion (After fighting with Jason).  Leeann goes back to
    the mansion and insists that Kevin misinterpreted what he saw and that 
    they need to talk.
    
    	Cassie remembers that Sarah had a red trench coat the night of
    Carlo's murder and tells Detective Vega.  As Sarah is packing to move
    in with Bo, she empties a box from the closet and finds a gun with the
    initials "C.H.".  This is the missing gun that I assume Carlo was shot
    with.  She stares at it in disbelief.  Just then Bo comes in and they
    both just look at each other.  Sarah now believes that she was the one
    who killed Carlo, but she cannot remember it.
    
    Thats all....
    
    
    Lisa

    Great update!  The show was one of the best ones I've seen in a while. 
    I was so excited watching Dorian that I had to ff during the other
    scenes. 
    
    I was thinking:  What if Sara went over to kill Carlo, but she couldn't
    do it and Carlo realized that Sara was remembering the incriminating
    info she forgot and Carlo tries to kill Sara.  At the same time Alex
    walks in to save Sara and Kills Carlo!  I know probably a little far
    fetched!
    
    doreen 

    
    
    Addie jumps out of Max's window in an attempt to kill herself.  Blair's
    so distraught that she rides off into the sunset on that stallion of
    Asa's.  When Blair gets thrown, Asa carries her back to the mansion to
    nurse her back to health.  Asa also proposes (gross!!!).  Kevin's
    heartbroken when Lee Ann says their marriage is over.  Cassie is
    stunned to discover Addie abused Dorian as a child.  Hank and Maggie
    argue over whether the killer might be Alex or Sarah.  Wanda's dream
    man, Ralph Love pays her a visit.  Dorian get very emotional during a
    meeting with Addie.  Hank's ready to arrest Sarah.
    
    NEXT:  Bo stands by Sarah.  Max confronts Blair about Asa's proposal.

    well, this file is certainly slow.  thanks for entering fridays show. 
    is addy now dead?  will dorian take in blair?  how is cassie feeling
    about her half sister?
    
    info about upcoming news behind spoiler
    
    
    
    i can't believe that asa and blair will marry.  they will however
    probably get engaged.  max will run out with her at the wedding and
    they will make love and renee' and asa will get back together.  the
    whole story IMO is stupid.  asa is just too old for blair.  and
    speaking of age, how old is max supposed to be anyways?  i assume blair
    is supposed to be around 26ish.  well i guess that is closer to his age
    then leeann.  is jason and leeann supposed to be an item soon?  what is
    going to happen with the baby?  will max ever find out that it could be
    his?  i still think the baby will die.  where is marty?  and.. last but
    not least, if sarah is arrested alex will be set free.  will cassie be
    upset.  i do like the scenero of alex killing him because sarah
    couldn't.  too bad they are draggin this out till july.
    
    anyone see monday's show (couldn't resist)
    
    thanks..

    Addie didn't die in the fall.  She fell on some bushes.  She's in the
    hospital with a broken arm and Larry wants to have her looked at by
    the psychiatric department.  Blair doesn't want them to.  Larry asked
    Max to talk to her about it.  Blair asked Dorian again to explain
    everything.  Dorian started to explain again but Blair didn't want to
    believe her.  Blair went in to see Addie and Addie said "bad Dorrie,
    she pushed me out the window".  Blair realized Dorian was telling the
    truth and ran out of the hospital.
    Maggie and Cassie both believe Sarah murdered Carlo.  They agreed to
    work together to find out even if that means they have to put Bo and
    Sarah in jail.
    Kevin and LeeAnn had an argument over Jason.  Kevin didn't want to hear
    any of LeeAnn's explaination.  She told him she felt like she could be
    herself with Jason and not someone that the Buchanon's wanted her to
    be.  Kevin went looking for Jason and threatened him to stay away from
    his wife.
    
    >>how is cassie feeling about her half sister?
    
    Blair is Cassie's cousin, not half sister, and not much has been said
    about how she feels about it.  She was upset with Dorian for not
    telling her Addie was alive but Dorian explained she didn't know until
    she discovered her at Blair's.
    
    Marie

    TUESDAY'S Update.....
    
    It was kind of a slow day..
    
    
    	Blair is at her apartment telling MAX what a terrible person she is
    for believing her mother and trying to ruin Dorian.  She feels her life
    has no meaning.  Max tells her that he will help her put her life back
    together again.  Blair tells Max she is cold.  He goes into the bedroom
    to get her a blanket, and when he is out of the room, Blair runs out of
    the apartment.
    
    	She goes to Asa's stables and takes his horse "Copper Beach" and
    rides him bareback.  Later, after the stable boy told Asa that Blair
    took the horse, Asa finds Blair thrown from the horse, out cold.  He
    says that "old Asa" will take care of her.  He willl repay her for her
    loyalty.  He says to himself that Blair and Cain are the only loyal
    friends he has left in this world.
    
    	Dorian and Cassie spend the show crying about how terrible and how
    torn Dorian felt to have Addie and Blair in their lives.  Dorian says
    she may be able to forgive Addie due to her illness, but not Blair. 
    
    	Sarah and Bo talk about how Sarah ended up with Carlo's gun.  Bo
    suggests they talk to a lawyer and then turn the gun over to the
    police.  Sarah is really terrified that she might be Carlo's killer. 
    She just cant remember because of her blackout. Bo suspects that she
    has been set up by someone.  
    
    	Cain agrees to let Tina be his partner.  Cain owns 49% of Wild Rose
    Management, one of Asa's holdings.  In exchange for a couple of
    diamonds, Cain gives Tina 1/2 of his 49%.  They talk and Tina tells
    them that now they are business partners, that they can never make love
    again.
    
    Thats about all...

    Any update????????  What is Blair up to now????????
    

    WEDNESDAY'S Update
    
    	Today Asa takes blair into the mansion to recover from her nasty
    fall.  He puts her to bed in the guest room.  Blair seems to be badly
    bruised and may have some broken ribs.  Blair says to Asa that she
    needs to go and he states that she is not going anywhere until his
    personal doctor checks her out.  He asks her what is troubling her but
    she refuses to open up to Asa.
    
    	Renee' comes to the mansion to get some of her personal belongings. 
    She asks Cain, who she sees in the hall, not to tell Asa that she was
    there.  Naturally, when she is upstairs, she sees Blair in bed and
    assumes the worst.  Leaving, Renee' runs into Asa and they have another
    argument.  Renee' goes over to Viki's house and tells her that instead
    of giving Asa an easy divorce that she is going to stick it to him. 
    She is going to ask for the Bucannon Palace Hotel!
    
    	Max goes to Asa house to see Blair after overing 2 stable hands say
    that Asa rescued Blair after her fall.  Asa refuses to let Max see
    Blair.  They argue and Asa says that Blair is going to be the next Mrs.
    Asa Bucannon (?sp)!
    
    	Leeann and Vicki argue.  Leeann really gives it to Vikki and calls
    her a snob.  She says she has been spending so much time with Jason
    because he is the only one who likes her for what she really is. 
    (IMHO, Vikki is becomming a real pain in the butt!.... Cheers to
    Leeann).  Leeann leaves to go see Jason.  Jason tells her that marrying
    Kevin was a mistake and that how can she live with a new baby if she
    cannot even live with herself.
    
    	Luna listens to the radio for love advice regarding Max.  She warns
    Max again that Blair is no good.  He says to her that there are things
    about Luna that he does not know about......
    
    	Thats about it...
    
    Lisa

    THURSDAY'S Update
    
    	Today, Vikki paid a visit to Blair at Asa's house.  She really let
    her have it.  She said that she was a manipulative, spiteful person. 
    Blair started to cry and say that there was much about her that Vikki
    did not understand.  (Vikki sure has been on a high horse lately!)
    Asa comes in and proposes marriage to a very surprised Blair.
    
    	Renee' has lunch with Leeann after Asa yelled at her for hurting
    Kevin.  He said that he was going to tear her heart out!.  Renee' came
    to Leeann's rescue.  Renee' told Leeann that no matter what, she needed
    to be true to herself.  If it was a mistake marrying Kevin, she should
    live up to it.  Its better to live up to your mistakes then to live a
    lie.  She says to Leeann that she has more friends than she knows of. 
    She tells Leeann about her struggle to leave Asa and how good she feels
    to again be on her own.  She also tells her that she is suing Asa for
    the Palace hotel.
    
    	Maggie gets a search warrant for Sarah's and Bo's House.  Sara puts
    her Red coat in the fire place, to get rid of it.  She also takes the
    gun out of a locked drawer to get rid of it also.  Sarah and Bo argue
    about the gun.  Just then Maggie, Cassie, and father Andrew come to the
    house with a search warrant.  When they enter, Sarah panicks.  She
    takes the gun with the initials C.H. in her hand and points it at the
    whole bunch in an attempt to escape.!!!!! (WOW)
    
    	Dorian visits Addie and  she screams when she sees her.  Dorian
    talks to her about when they were children in an attempt to reach
    Addie.  Unfortunately, Addie goes into a rage, screaming at the top of
    her lungs and pulling the IV out of her arm.
    
    
    Thats about all...

    being.  Kevin (who according to SPW is being recast!!!!  YES!!!  This
    one will be seen for the last time on May 21 as they are "taking the
    character in another direction") is so heartbroken over his break up
    with Lee Ann that he goes to the ranch in Arizona to clear his head.

    I was up late watching TV and there was one of those paid commercials
    for the Psyhic Hotline on.  Both Leeann and Dorian were on telling how
    this hotline has helped them.  Actually, Dorian was more of a skeptic. 
    They had her call the hotline and they gave her a reading as a
    demostration.  Turns out she has a couple sisters that she is close to
    and she recently broke up with someone.  The usual stuff.
    
    Leeann was on with her boyfriend (Hunky dude!!).  He's the one who
    called first and the psychic told him he'd meet a woman with long dark
    hair and blue eyes.  She also said they would have a boy and a girl.
    
    Why are they recasting Kevin??  He didn't seem to be any worse than the
    rest of them!!!!
    
    Does anyone know what the heck exactly happened to Sarah when she was
    kidnapped by Carlo.  Also, why did he kidnap her in the first place???
    
    Asa and Blair is real puke material!!
    
    Perky!!

    
    The reason for replacing Kevin is the show is taking the character
    in a different direction. The new role of Kevin will be played by
    Kirk Geiger, his first air date is June 19.
    
    Another new character is coming to town, Billy Douglas, played by
    Ryan Phillippe. He is a friend of Joey's, his first airdate is June 2
    
    Thom Christopher (Carlo) is coming back as Carlo's brother in October.

    Hi!  
    
      I am behind on my tapes but... Are Sheila and Troy still engaged?  In
    the upcoming events it said that "Sheila and Hank disagree about Hank's
    daughter, (Rachal?).
    
       Just curious.
    
       Thanks!
    
       Sue

    Just have time to give a quick update.
    
    Sheila and Troy are still engaged but we haven't seen much of them
    lately.
    Kevin and LeeAnn have called it quits and Kevin ran off to Arizona.
    LeeAnn moved in with Luna.
    Sarah is in jail for Carlo's murder.  She remembered that the creep
    from the hotel saw her at the lake the night of the murder but she's
    not sure if he'll willingly testify for her since she rejected his
    advances.  I doubt he'll make a convincing witness anyway because he
    was selling Sarah drugs.  When Sarah was put into the cell, Alex left
    at the same time and said a few things to Sarah that made me believe
    she did set Sarah up....like "who'd believe innocent looking Sarah
    would be a murderer"...etc.  Bo accused Cassie of pointing the finger
    at Sarah as revenge for their breakup.
    No one thinks Julia could be the murderer because the doctors confirmed
    she's paralized from when Carlo tried to kill her.  She dropped a book
    on the floor and looked around to see if anyone was watching and then
    WALKED! over to pick it up!!

    Where are all the ONTL folks????
    
    UPDATE for 5/20/92  Wednesday
    
    - Blair and Dorian fight over Blair's attempts to ruin Dorian.  Blair
    apologizes and give Dorian all the Intruder stock back.  Dorian pays
    her full market value as she does not want to owe Blair anything.  She
    says that Blair did more harm than good to her sister by keeping her
    from proper medical attention.  Dorian says that she can never forgive
    Blair, no matter how sad her childhood was.  Dorian threatens to keep
    Addie from Blair and never let her see her or hurt her again.  With
    this, Blair slaps Dorian in the face!
    
    Dr. Jonas tell Dorian and Blair that the both need to keep away from
    Addie for at least a week so they can stablize her.  They both agree.
    
    - Asa visits Blair at her apartment to press her for an answer to his
    marriage proposal.  He asks Blair why Dorian is paying the medical
    bills for her mother.  She tells Asa the whole the story and he tells
    her that she made an honest mistake with Dorian and that he does not
    hold it against her.  He says he likes her drive and that as Mrs. Asa
    B. she could have all the tools she needed to do anything with her life
    that she wants.  He challenges whether or not Max could provide the
    same.  (Asa still does not know that Blair is a virgin)  Blair says
    that she needs time to think because this is a very important choice
    she needs to make.  
    
    -  LeeAnn sees Jason at the restaurant and tells him that she has left
    Kevin.  Jason agrees to be LeeAnns breathing coach when the baby is
    born.  She also tells Jason that even though she left Kevin, she will
    not tell Kevin that she thinks the baby is Maxs.  
    
    -  Dorian begins writing a story about Kevin and LeeAnns messed up
    life.  Cassie scoldes her that she shouldn't pick on the two young
    kids.  She tells Cassie that she is just doing this to get back at Asa
    because he gave Blair the money to by Intruder Stock.  Cassie says she
    is glad to have her old mother back, but she thinks she liked her
    sensitive side a little better.  Now that Dorian is back on her feet,
    she will be as ruthless as ever.

    Sue... I was just wondering myself last night what happened with Clint
    leaving.  They sure seem to be setting something up between Vicki and 
    Andrew's father (he's VERY taken with Vicki).
    
    Quick update for Thursday...
    
    The guy Sarah needed for her alibi is dead.  Died of a drug overdose
    which Bo thinks is another set-up by Alex.  He asked Cassie to help
    him by showing him the file on the "scarecrow" murder.  He thinks this
    may help find the real killer.
    Andrew's father, Sloan, went to meet with Vicki to read about Victor
    Lords WWII experiences.  Vicki also called Kevin in Arizona even though
    he told her not to call.
    Wanda put an add in the paper looking for Ralph Love.  Quite a few guys
    showed up with flowers, etc. claiming to be Ralph Love.  Wanda and Luna
    decided to get out of her place so they wouldn't have to put up with
    any more Ralph Love's showing up and figured they'd check out the
    compatition over at Georgio's.  When they got there they discovered
    Georgio's was serving all of Luna's specialty dishes and asked to see
    the owner....who was none other than.....Ralph Love!  Wanda chewed him
    out for stealing Luna's recipies and walked out.
    Jason has agreed to be LeeAnn's lamaze coach.
    Hank Gannon's daughter showed up in town and she and Sheila are getting
    along really well.  His daughter asked "WHO is that woman!?"...he said
    the future Mrs. Troy Nichols.

      I agree re: Vicki (erica)... she's driving me crazy.. I've been ff
    through alot of her scene's just because I have a hard time listening
    to her blast everyone... I'm about 6 days behind on my tapes so I
    didnt' know that she and Sloane were hitting it off... Maybe they are
    setting the scene for clint to leave.,.. hmmmm

    Could someone be kind enough to give a update for Tusedays' and
    Wednesday's show!
    
    Thanks,
    Lynne
    

    LeeAnn is in Labor, while Dorian wonders if Jason is the father.  Sarah
    has been kidnapped and is being held captive...AGAIN!  Surely Herb is
    too smart to get involved with Carlo's widow.  Speaking of Carlo,
    enough is enough, who killed the SOB anyway?  Good riddens to Kevin.
    Maggie suspects Cassie has been tampering with LVPD files.  Cassie gave
    them to Beau and Sarah.  Luna (Loonietoons) is going to be a famous
    radio talk show host to the lovelorn.

    
    where is leanne is labor?  (sounds funny, but you know what i mean!)
    i wonder if max is ever going to find out, or care.
    
    i can't believe that max and blair make love, and he brings her to
    texas.  same old song and dance.
    
    speaking of which, sarah kidnapped again?  that is pathetic!  she is
    beginning to bother me so much.  i am surprized that cassie gave them
    the files.  something isn't over there.
    
    so clint could still be leaving eh?  not much said about that recently
    but you have to admit that he hasn't been on much lately.  
    
    i also don't like vicki lately but then again, never really liked her
    at all.
    
    any other updates?  thanks much,
    
    cj
    

    LeeAnn was in false labor.  Max and Blair haven't made love yet but
    are getting to that point.  Joe Hawk doesn't like Blair at all.
    Clint came in while Vicki and Sloan were talking about the "old days"
    and rich parties, etc. and looked suspicious.  Vicki ran out because
    Tina called saying she needed help.  Clint and Sloan started talking
    and Clint was saying how he had a very different childhood from Vicki
    and Sloan.
    Luna is going to be on the "love doctor" or "love bug" show (whatever).
    She called in and told him off one day for being a male chauvanist pig
    and the listeners loved it!  They keep calling for Luna.
    
    That's about it for now.
    
    Marie

    To add a little more....
    
    Dorian is trying to get custody of Addie...
    
    Asa is attempting to stop her to win over Blair... He says he can give
    Blari something that Max cannot... her mother!  There was a scene where
    Asa attempts to bribe a judge to get him to drop the petition from
    Dorian.
    
    Sarah goes back to where she was held hostage to see if she can find
    any information on Scarecrow.  The guard is really wacked out and tries
    to keep Sarah with him again... He secretly loves her... He is also
    really strung out on drugs....
    
    Andrew has it out with his father for harping on him to give him
    grandchildren... Andrew yell at him and says only when he loves him for
    what he is, a priest.  He also says that he needs to accept that his
    brother died of AIDS.  When he leaves he has lunch with Cassie and she
    asks him who he goes to when he needs someone to talk to.  He said that
    the reason that his father and him do not get along is that when Andrew
    graduated from West Point, just prior to joining the Army, he decided
    to go to Yale for "priest" training..... his fathers reply was that he
    was a BIG disappointment to him.... (what a jerk!)
    
    Cassie later confesses to Sgt. Vega that she seems to be attracted to
    Father Andrew and that makes her happy.  Sgt. Vega seems a tad jealous
    of Cassie.
    
    Thats all...
    
    Lisa

    thanks for the updates!
    
    i knew that andrew and cassie would start something.  i also knew that
    maggie seems to be interested in him too.  
    
    i can't believe this sarah thing.  it bugs me so much.  its just so
    stupid.  she was kidnapped by austin too right?

    Kevin was devistated when LeeAnn left the mansion to  move in with
    Luna.
    
    He went to Arizona to be on his fathers ranch and to have some time to
    think.  He plans on returning  before the baby is born.
    
    In reality, his character is being replaced.  A new actor will appear
    in Lanview (probably around the time the baby is born).
    
    --- With Blair going off with Max, this has a nice setup for Max
    finding out bout LeeAnn's baby.
    
    --- I can't believe that there is not more chatter about Julia being
    able to walk... That one really threw me for a loop... I wonder if she

       I just saw the scene where Julia was at Wanda's with Al When Max and
    Blair come in to tell Luna that He's going to Sweetwater TX w/Blair
    when Little Al runs over to Max and Julia just stands up.  The thing
    that kills me is NO ONE saw her!  So I guess she has been lying.... Do
    you think she's the one who killed Carlo?  I was surprised, I've been
    FF through alot of OLTL lately.... Sarah's acting stupid Bo's even
    worse, VICKY argg... I don't even want to get on that subject...  your
    right though it was a shocker...
    
      have a great day and just maybe.... then next Kevin will be something
    to look at....

    OHhh ya
    
       I meant to put this in the last note... but THANKS for the updates..

    get caught up on them... )
    
      Have a good one!!

    i also have a thanks for those of you that put in updates or anything
    that helps.
    
    i am so sick of this show and its bad acting, bad storylines,
    constantly changing actors, etc. etc. etc., but... i still want to know
    what is going on.
    
    i saw a preview yesterday and julia was with some balding man and it
    looks like they were at wanda's... but i'm pretty sure they couldn't of
    been.  anyways.. they were all kissy face, feeding eachother and stuff. 
    that seems like the only interesting thing right now going on.  if they
    keep sarah and bo out of it it could remain interesting too.  
    
    i wonder what the new kevin is going to look like.  ten to one they
    needed an older more mature actor.  maybe max will have some
    competition.  i wonder who they will set up with him???  i can't
    believe they put jason and leeann together.
    
    has marty or dr. jonas been on lately?  i found them interesting and it
    figures they are never on.  
    
    any updates?  :)

    There is going to be a major gay teen storyline starting on June. Most
    of the people in Llanview will be affected by this new story, which
    will continue throught the summer.

    
    IMHO Megan carried OLTL for soooooo long and now that she is gone they
    don't have any strong enough actresses to do a story line like she
    could!  
    
    I think that they should give Tina a try at it though! 
    I am just glad that they got Gabrielle out of there!!!!!!!!!! She made
    me ILL!!!!!!!!!
    
    Even though a few notes back I said that if Max and Blair got together
    that I was never going to watch again.....I can't help myself hopeing
    to turn on the set and see some dynamic action packed story going on!
    
    I guess I will just have to keep waiting....I wish Megan were still
    there!!!!!!!!!!!

    GAY Teens!...
    
    	Who could they mean?  Joey perhaps...? Maybe Hank's daughter?  Am I
    missing someone?  Very interesting.....
    
    QUICK UPDATE FOR Monday 6/1/92
    
    - Max tries to convince Joe Hawk that Blair is the woman for him.  He 
      still does not like Blair.  He says that Luna is the woman for Max.
    
    - Max answers the phone when Asa calls and tells him off.. Asa says
      that he will use his influence to get Blair to marry him.  He will
      only help save her mother if she does marry him.
    
    - Sarah leaves the cottage just before Maggie arrives to arrest her. 
      She gets to the phone and calls Bo.  She tells him that she has
      pictures of Carlo and Scarecrow and that she is going to chase down
      some new leads.  Bo says he will join her and they decide to meet
      at "Paradise" (the mountain lodge).  
    
    - Back at police headquarters, Hank , while talking to Cassie, decides
      to arrest Bo to smoke Sarah out.  He sends a car over to arrest him.
      When Hank leaves the office, Cassie calls Bo and warns him to leave
      immediately.
    
    - Later the police figure out that Bo and Sarah are probably at the
      lodge...
    
    - Wanda gets a singing telegram from a man dressed like cupid.  It is 
      from Mr. Love. He wants to appologize for stealing Wanda's receipes,
      but Wanda wants no part of it.
    
    - Andrew's father, (i forget his name) reviews his will and leaves 1/2
      to Andrew and 1/2 to an old soldiers home.  He hand writes a clause
      that states that if Andrew marries before he dies, that 100% of his
      assets will then go to Andrew.
    
    - Sarah and Bo determine from the picture that Carlo and Scarecrow in
      the picture were in Atlantic city.  The decide to go there to see if
      they can find out any information on who could have wanted Carlo
      dead.  (the previews show Sarah and Bo talkin to someone who recants
      a story about Julia having dinner with scarecrow... maybe a motive
      for murder)!?!?!?!?!
    
    Thats about all...
    
    

    thanks for the update!  
    
    i don't think that they can make joey gay.. he has commented about
    girls for so long now it wouldn't make sense.  although ms. vicki would
    be in a tizzy, wouldn't she????!!!!  i think it will be a new character
    that comes to town and maybe changes some old characters mind about
    being gay.
    
    who is the list of teens?  joey is the only one that i can think of
    besides hank's daughter.  
    
    can anyone put together a list of teens???

Bo and Sara leave for Atlantic City when they see the police drive up to the
mountain lodge.  In Atlantic City, they find the restaurant where the picture
had been taken.  The owner blasts them when they tell him they are from
Llanview, PA telling them that he refuses to pay 51% of the profits to 
widow Hesser.  They convince him that they are trying to clear Sara on the
murder charges.  He calms down and tells them that Carlo and J.J. used to
come to the restaurant all the time.  He did not know the J.J.'s last name but
did tell them that towards the end, J.J. kept bringing in some loud British
woman who kept babbling on how she had lived in Argentina and how she wrote the
society column for the Banner.  Bo and Sara figure out that 
he must be talking about Julia and decide to go talk to her about who this J.J.
is.

Julia is back at Max's talking to some editor at the Banner asking for her
old job back.  She gets up off the wheelchair and starts pacing around while
she is talking on  the phone.  She and the editor agree that she will come
back and work part time.  She is sitting in her wheelchair when Al comes in
and squirts her with a water gun.  She calls him to her, takes the gun away
from him and tells him that it is not nice to squirt her while she's "helpless"
in a wheelchair.  He asks her if she will always be in a wheelchair and she
tells him that soon she will out of it and walking around.

Gannon and Vega want to know who has been leaking information to Bo and Sara.
After searching Bo's house, the police find a copy of the Scarecrow report
which really pisses off Gannon and Vega.  Gannon tells Cassie to work on
finding out who the leak in the department is.  Later, Cassie confesses to
Vega that she is the one who gave the information to Bo and who warned him to
leave because the police were on the way.  Vega gets mad at her and tells her 
that she (Cassie) has to tell Gannon herself.  As Cassie leaves, Vega spitefully
asks her if it was worth losing her job just to help Bo.

Cain explains to Tina that he was doing an errand for Asa and she forgives him.
He also tells her that Asa has fired him and that Asa had never put in any
paperwork transferring Wildrose over to him.  Later at the restaurant, Alex
is flashing her "A" pendent at them.  Tina makes a few remarks about what the
A can stand for but neither of them figure out that it has the diamonds 
Alex had stolen from them in it.

Ralph Love shows up with flowers and balloons for Wanda but she is still very
mad at him and throws him out.  He apologizes and says he did not mean to
steal her customers away from her.  She blasts him and tells him to leave.

Joey introduces Viki to his new friend.  The friend starts hinting big time how
his mother and father haven't seemed to be able to make many friends in Llanview.
When Viki asks him what they like to do, he tells her that his mother does a 
lot of volunteer work and his father likes to golf a lot.  She suggests that 
they should join the Country Club.  He tells her that they don't know anyone
who is a member who will sponsor them.  She tells him to have his parents come
over and she will talk to them about having Clint and her sponsor them.  Later
that afternoon, at Llanfair, she entertains his parents.  She tells them that
she and Clint would be very happy to sponsor them for the Country Club.  The
man pointedly asks if the membership is largely people "like them" (or something
to that effect).  Viki looks puzzled but says that they have all kinds of 
people.  The woman and man sit and look at her with weird looks on their faces
while she sits with a puzzled, confused look on her stupid face.

Joey and his friend are playing with the basketball while Viki is entertaining
the parents.  Joey starts complaining about girls and about how exasperating
they are.  He complains that they are not like guys who tell you exactly where
they stand and don't play games.  The friend just looks at him and makes a 
few non-committal remarks about how guys are better.  They go off to play
basketball.

That's all I can remember.  

    looks like the gay teen eh?   thank for the update.
    
    when did alex steal the diamonds from tina and cain?  i don't remember
    that!
    
    i wonder what the reason for the parents being "weird" is.  obviously,
    they too are not gay.  i wonder if they know about their son.. that is
    possible i suppose.
    
    well, i'm off!  happy noting  everyone and thanks again for the update!

    Cheryl

    quick update from last Friday 6/5/92
    
    
    - Andrew and Cassie get ready to go to Rodies so Andrew can show Cassie
      his sax talent.  Andrews father comes in just as they are leaving and
      they have a major fight. Cassie consoles Andrew and says they both
      have been moping around for the last several months and that they
      should go out and have some fun...
    
    - After Andrew plays, he joins Cassie.  As they both leave, they plant
      a rather long kiss on each other.... It was real nice.... Sgt. Vega,
      who was sitting in the bar, caught a glance at the kiss and was
      obviously very jealous.
    
    - Bo and Sarah ask Julia questions about J.J.  She says she never met
      him (obviously lying).  Bo and Sarah are not convinced... When they 
      leave, Julia is left sobbing, thinking about her dead love.
    
    - Blair and Max make love... Later Blair leaves Max a note explaining
      why she is leaving ( to go with Asa so he can get her custody of her
      mother).  AS she is sneaking out, she runs into Joe Hawk.   Blair is
      crying very hard as she leaves and Hoe tells her she is doing the
      right thing, to go and not to look back.
    
    - There is a cute scene with Joey and his new friend (forget his name).
      They are at a costume party and Joes asks his friend for advice on 
      girls.
    
    
    Lisa

    wow, sounds good!  
    
    marty is back!! yea!  i liked her with andrew.  this obviously is going
    to bring out maggie's feelings for him though.  the only thing i don't
    like with this plot is they used the same type storyline for tony and
    gabs.  kinda.. ya know?
    
    so joey is going to turn out gay... because his friend is.  kevin
    should be around to help with brother.. i wonder when the new one is
    coming home.  should be interesting.. i think.
    
    i guess its also pretty obvious that eventually max and luna will end
    up together but when?  you know that she is going to realize that she
    loves max but will be married to asa.  that marriage will not last
    long.
    
    any updates????
    
    cj

    quick update from monday 6/8/92
    
    -  Max wakes up to find Blair has gone to Lanview with Asa... He is
    crushed.  Joe Hawk tells him to accept it and to realize that Luna is
    the woman for him.  Max refuses to accept that...Just then, Joe starts
    to have another heart attack. He asks Max to take him to the sacred
    place so he can die with dignity.  Max picks up Joe and carries him out
    of the house.
    
    -  Sarah and Bo meet with Tina at Lanfair.  She agrees to help hide
    them out and help in whatever way possible.  When Tina sees Vikki, she
    says how glad they are that she is helping Bo and Sarah.  Tina does not
    realize that Andrew's father is right behind Vikki.  He agrees to keep
    their secret but gives Tina a lecture about playing within the "rules
    of the game".  Sgt. Vega comes to Lanfair and asks questions about Bo
    and Sarah.  Andrew's father covers for Vikki and plays dumb.  He asks
    if she has a search warrent.  She doesn't so she leaves.  
    
    -  Bo decides to visit Andrew and get some advice.  He sneaks out of
    Lanfair.  Just then, Andrew and Cassie start to get cozie.  They seem
    to really enjoy each others company.  Cassie says that after so many
    months of Bo's rejections, it is nice to know that she is still a
    "catch".  Just as they begin to kiss, Bo knocks at the door.  He comes
    in and asks to speak with Andrew.  Cassie asks how many lives he plans
    on involving in his plot.  Just then, Sgt. Vega barges in and arrests
    Bo.  Andrew is able to get a coded message to Tina letting Sarah know
    that Bo has been caught.  Bo seems almost relieved to be dealing with
    the law and not to be running.
    
    -  Blair agrees to marry Asa if he guarantees that he can win custody
    of Addie for her.  
    
    Bye....
    
    Lisa

    UPDATE FOR TUESDAY 6/9/92
    
    - Max takes Joe Hawk to the sacred place so he can die with dignity. 
    His last dying words were that Max can only find his serenity with Luna
    Moody.  Max promises to perform the burial rituals on Joe.  After he
    dies, max says one last goodbye to his old friend while he
    cries....(very touching!)
    
    - Asa tells Blair that they are to be married on Friday.  She says that
    it is too soon but Asa says he has already made all the plans.  He says
    to her that she should be more happy since she is getting everything
    she has always wanted... money , power, and someone to take care of
    her.  The whole time, she is thinking about Max.  She agrees to the
    Friday wedding.
    
    Asa invites Clint, Vikki, and Tina to the mansion to break the news to
    them.  Needless to say, they flipped out!  Tina exploded and blamed
    Blair for the breakup of Asa and Renee' and for the death of Cord. 
    Blair is truly hurt and leaves the room in tears.  Vikki chases after
    her and asks Blair if the marriage was her idea.  She could not answer. 
    Vikki says that she can recognize real tears and knows that Blair is
    upset.  She asks if Asa is forcing her into this marriage.  Finally,
    Blair says, "No... marrying Asa was my decision... he is a strong man
    and thats what I LOVE about him...." (the words were real tough to get
    out).
    
    - Clint is a little jealous when he finds out that Vikki spent the
    entire evening with Slone (Andrews father).  Vikki tells Clint that she
    had to rush Slone to the emergency room... (we still do not know what
    is wrong with him, but it is obvious that he is dying)
    
    - Luna goes on the "LOVE BUG" talk show.  When she arrives and meets
    him, he is wearing a long, curly black wig and glasses.  He looks like
    Howard Stern, the radio personality out of New York.  He takes the wig
    off and tells Luna that it helps him get in character... he is really a
    nice guy, the love bugs personality is all an act.  On the air, Luna
    tries to tell Wanda to lighten up and forgive Mr. Ralph Love.  Wanda
    calls the show to speak her mind... Just then, Ralph Love calls the
    show and apologizes again and reads Wanda a love poem.....The scene was
    real cute.
    
    - Alex tries to blackmale Herb with the pictures she took of him after
    she drugged him.  They are pictures with 2 prostutes.  She wants Herb
    to marry her.
    
    Lisa
    
    
    

    
    I can just see it now....Max will come back and be with Luna because it
    was Joe's dying wish....and Blair will fake being happy with Asa...and
    the whole time they won't speak to each other.  And Eventually, of
    course, Max and Blair will finally reunite after all the pain they had
    being apart.   YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Blair makes me ill!!!! I hate her I hate her I hate her!!!!!!!!!!
    
    When are they supposed to close the case of "Who killed Carlo"
    Are they doing anything with Carlo's daughter?  Whats her name?
    
                                                           jazzzzzzz
    

    Update for Wednesday...
    
    - Blair goes to court and talks to the Judge.... Since Dorian could not
      produce and witnesses about Blair taking Addie out of the hospital,
      Blair thus won custody... Dorian was fuming...!!!  She said to Blair
      she is simply Asa's "Flavor of the Month" and that soon enough she 
      will be longing for Max.  As Dorian left, Blair took a stone that Max
      gave her out of her purse and dreamt of him.
    
    - Asa comes in to congradulate her... He says that he has found a
    lovely sanitarium for her mother.  Blair freeks... she says that Addie
    will live with them or the marriage is off...
    
    - Bo tells the police what he knows about Scarecrow... he tells them
    his suspicions about Julia.....
    
    - Sarah goes to the garage where Scarecrow was murdered... She finds a
    dried up bunch of white roses.  Next to them she finds a pack of
    matches from the Atlantic City bar.  Inside the pack, she finds a phone
    number - it is a Lanview Number (probably Julia's)  As she is leaving,
    Alex comes.  Sarah tries to tell her that she did not kill Carlo and
    that she could help find the real killer if she would just let her
    go... When Alex's back is turned, Sarah hits her over the head with a
    wooden pole and knocks her out cold... Sarah runs away.....
    
    - Father Andrew goes to bat for Marty.  She is in court for
    shoplifting.  He is going to personally oversee her 200 hours of
    community service... Andrew lays it on the line to Marty.. She is to
    report to the youth community center... Marty is as smart mouthed as
    ever.  
    
    - Stephanie runs into Joey at Wanda's and invites her to the community
    center with Billy and the girl he has a crush on.... They run into
    Marty and she spouts off about it being a kiddy day care center.....
    Andrew warns her to shape up or he will report her to the judge..
    
    
    LiSA P.

    I have to ask... is anyone out there ???? Should I keep posting these
    updates... I really don't mind, as long as someone is reading them...
    
    UPDATE for Thursday..
    
    -	Max arrives back in Lanview and searches for Blair.  Tina informs
    him at Wanda's place that Blair is going to marry Asa...Luna unloads on
    Max for not giving his full attention to Serenity springs.  He says he
    is sorry but has to find Blair.  He also tells her that Joe Hawk passed
    away.
    
    -  Billy's parents barge into the grand opening of the community
    center.  They demand to know why he is associating with "these" kind of
    people.  Father Andrew tries to explain but they will not hear of it.
    He is forbidden to go there again.  (these people are really wacked
    out!)
    
    -  Marty is up to her old tricks again.  She is bad mouthing everything
    at the community center.  When Andrew corners her about her attitude,
    she says something like....." first you hand around with the mighty
    detective (Maggie), then Miss Sunshine (Cassie), when do I get a
    turn....".  She then plants a major KISS on his lips... Andrew was
    shocked and left speechless.
    
    -  Blair bring Addie home to the mansion.  She wants to go back to her
    old home.  Blair tells her that this is her new home... She says NO,
    NO, NO... I want Max...."  Blair tells her that they both need to
    forget about Max.  Later, after she is settled in her new room, Asa
    comes to visit Addie and she freeks out and breaks a crystal vase. 
    Blair apologizes but Asa says not to worry about it.  He then starts to
    flirt with her and begins rubbing her sholders and touching her cheek. 
    Blair cringes at his touch, all the long dreaming of Max's touch.
    
    -  Blair returnes to the Hotel room to prepare for the wedding.  As she
    walks into the room, Max is sitting in the corner waiting for her.
    
    
    -  Cassie tries to mend fences between Andrew and his father Sloan. 
    However, they seem to be at an impass over the death of Andrew's
    brother.  He died of complications of Aids.  Andrew tries to tell his
    father how good his brother was and how much his former lover misses
    him.  Sloan will have nothing to do with this conversation. When Andrew
    yells at him that he died of AIDS... Sloan slaps him....
    
    -  Back at Rev. Andrews place, he and Cassie get closer.  They share a
    very passionate kiss.... ( I REALLY like these two together)
    
    Thats all...
    
    Lisa

    Lisa.... I'm here and enjoy your updates.  I tape daily but am behind
    on my tapes.
    I hope they don't decide to make Andrew and Marty a couple.  I kinda
    like him and Cassie together.  I'm hoping they'll wait until the "new"
    Kevin shows up and pair him up with Marty.
    
    Marie

    Lisa,
    
    I read your updates, they are the only way I stay in turn with what is
    going on in Landview.
    
    Thank you for entering them, I'm sorry I haven't said that before.
    
    Thel

    Booohoooo....  Lisa,  I'd sure appreciate one of those great updates
    today!  My VCR decided to take a break Friday and didn't record
    anything.  Did anything good happen on Friday?
    
    Marie

    
    Lisa.....PLEASE don't stop putting in your wonderful update!!!!!!!
    
    
                                         8^)              jazzzzzz

    Thanks..... I really enjoy the show... Oh yeah.. on my way into work
    this morning (monday a.m.) I actually heard a RADIO commercial for
    OLTL!  It blew my mind....I guess they are trying to boost the shows
    ratings.
    
    UPDATE FOR Friday...
    
    Asa storms around the house.  He catches Addie in the area where the
    wedding is to take place.  She is picking flowers from all the baskets
    and babbling that "...Max loves Blair..., Blair loves Max...".  He
    sends her back to her room and scoldes her nurse for not keeping a
    tight rope on her.  Clint shows up to stand up for Asa, VERY
    reluctantly... Cain tries to change Asa's mind, but he throws him out.
    
    WOW...!.!.!.!.. Max is in Blairs room when she come in to get ready for
    the wedding.  She asks him why he is there.  He asks her to tell him
    that it is not true that she is marrying Asa.  She says that maybe she
    is not the loving woman he thinks she is and that she is definitely
    going to marry Asa.
    
    Blair turns on the water works and Max just keeps pressing her.  He
    grabs her and commands her to look him in the eyes and tell him that
    she does not love him.  After turning away and crying some more, Blair
    finally looks dead into Max's eyes and says.... "I do NOT love you... I
    am going to marry Asa...".  With that, she runs into the bathroom.
    The scene fades....Later on, she comes out of the bathroom in her robe,
    and slip, to prepare for the wedding.  Assuming that Max left, she is
    startled to find him sitting on her bed.  He tells her that Joe Hawk
    died.  Max gets real choked up and Blair tries to comfort him.  In
    doing so, Max sees her true feelings for him and kisses her
    passionatly..  They end up making VERY VERY WILD passionate love on the
    bed, on the floor, and everywhere else... (remember, she is to be
    married in less than 3 hours.)
    
    After that, Max kisses Blair and says that he will talk to Asa for her. 
    She says NO that she will talk to him herself and then meet him at his
    house.  After Max leaves, Blair puts her wedding dress on and sits in
    front of the mirror crying... saying "What should I do...???"
    
    Alex is talking to Carlo's ashes and says that she is going to get Herb
    to marry her.  She says ..."Do you want to see how I am going to do
    this?...."  She then pulls out a small matchbox car and a cherry bomb
    and laughs.....  Just then, Herb rushes into Wandas looking for Cassie
    and finds her drinking coffee at a table.  He is hysterical... he tells
    her that her car exploded and they were not sure if she was in it.  As
    they are talking, a florist delivers flowers to Cassie.  No card, but
    there was a small car and a cherry bomb inside of it.  Herb says he
    knows it was Alex and that he will take care of things.
    
    Sarah gets help from Tina and Cain.  They sneak her back into town and
    over to Max's house.  She spys on Julia through the window and suddenly
    sees her get out of her chair and walk to the trash can outside and
    throw something away.  Sarah is stunned.  As she goes throught he
    trash, she finds a picture of her and Scarecrow that has been ripped
    into 3 pieces.  Sarah suddenly realizes that may be Julia is the murder.
    
    
    Lisa......

    Thanks Lisa!
    
    One thing I can't quite figure out is, from what I remember of either
    Wednesday or Thursday (can't remember which) Sarah knocked Alex out in
    the garage and left her there.  Then all of a sudden Alex just shows up
    back in Llandview no worse for the wear.
    
    Marie

    yes lida, please don't stop putting these in.  i haven't seen the soaps
    in so long and although i get fed up with OLTL i still like to read the
    updates.  i haven't been in lately because its been busy but usually
    try to comment.
    
    so, here are my comments, IMHO of course,
    
    1.  cassie and anyone... NOT!  i can see her whining with andrew and 
        i think he needs someone with some spunk.  
    
        interesting thought - mary and kevin, although isn't he too young
        for her?  how old is she supposed to be anyways?  i think the "new"
        kevin is going to be alot more mature and older .. one of the
        reasons why they are changing him.
    
    2.  i am still in shock about making joey out to be gay, think it will 
        really happen?
    
    3.  blair, gag me.  i don't like her either and hope that max and her
        never get back together.
    
    did anyone see the show on friday???? 
    
    
    cj

    I haven't read that Joey will be gay.  His friend Billy will tell Joey
    that he is gay.  Joey is supposed to be involved with Alana this
    summer.
    
    Cheryl

    i guess i misinterpreted.  who is alana?  thanks!!!
    
    
    cj
    

    cj
    
    Alana is a new friend of Joey's.  She showed up when Joey's new friend
    showed up.  She's cute and Joey really likes her but is afraid to "make
    a move on her" because Joey thinks she and ?his friend-the new kid? are 
    dating.  They keep telling Joey they're just close friends.  I figured
    it was the new kid who is gay because his parents are ULTRA-prejudiced
    against everyone.
    
    Marie
    

    Alana is the teen that has been hanging around with Joey and Billy. 
    She lives next door to Billy and seems to always be explaining about
    Billy's parents and the way they are.  On Thurs or Fri, Billy kept
    telling Joey to ask her out and Joey said to Billy, "I thought she was
    yours"  Billy said that he and Alana were just were just friends and to
    go for it.  So, Alana came back to the table but Joey got all toungue
    tied and nervous and made a fool of himself.  Billy just laughed.

    I thought the actor who plays Herb had left the soap, is there a new 
    actor or is this the story line that will keep him away from Landview?
    
    

    It's the same Herb, he's leaving in July.
    
    Cheryl

    Friday's update is in .1287.  Lisa was nice enough to update us this
    morning.
    
    Marie

    
    Megan is returning to the show for a three day stint early in July.
    She will be returning as an angel. While Jessica Tuck is in NY for the
    Emmys the week of June 22 she will tape her reappearance. 
    
    Brian Murray has been cast in the role of Bishop McBain, Andrew's
    superior.
    
    The gay storyline, later this summer will imply Andrew and Billy are
    connected.
    
    A new man in Luna's life and his name is Swade. The part will be played
    by David Leadingham and we will see him July 2.

    Megan coming back as an angel....well atleast she's not coming back as
    a ghost!
    
    Marie

    I wonder if Billy will somehow be the "reincarnation" of Andrew's
    brother and that will be the connection.  Thanks for the news, Gallant.
    
    Cheryl

    
    OH YAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      Megan is coming back!!!!!!  As an Angel???  How cool!!!!!!!!!!
    She is a perfect angel!!!!!     Jessica Tuck has to be my all time 
    favorite soap star ever!!!!! Oh I am so excited I can hardely stand it!
    I hope she isen't an angel for Sarah though!  It will give her
    something else to whine about!!!!!   And ya...why doesn't Sarah still
    mention Megan?  When Sarah was gone Megan always talked about her!
    Some people!  8^)
    
                       I can't wait!!!!! 
                                                          jazzzzzzzz

    Has anyone seen the commercial with Tina and Cain, it is cute.  These 2
    are good together.

    
    I think the connection between Andrew and Billy will be Andrew trying
    to help him with being gay and people will start to assume Andrew is
    also.
    
    Carlo's murder will be resolved the week of July 6.
    

    It's so funny that no one has speculated who the murderer is.  Do we
    care?  I've been FFing a lot through this show, but I still tape it.
    
    Cheryl

    about the murder - i've been meaning to mention for a while.  i think
    addie knows/or saw the murder.  remember she kept mentioning murder
    shortly after the murder and when they found her up in max's attic.
    
    the enquirer says that christpher lawford (son of peter lawford and a
    kennedy) will be the next kevin!  can't wait to see him!
    
    	ann

    Christopher Lawford is not going to be Kevin, he's going to be on AMC
    as Charlie Brent.  I forget what the new Kevin's name is, but they had
    a picture of him in the Soap Opera Weekly and I though he looked just
    like the old Kevin.  Hopefully, they won't have running to Mommy and
    Daddy all the time.
    
    Cheryl

    
    
    
    
    
    
    Quick opinions then an update:
    
    	- ABC has some cute commercials with Tina and Cain as well as Bobby
          and Tony from GH.... 
    
    	- I really love father Andrew!
    
    UPDATE FOR MONDAY
    
    - Renee' goes to Max's house and cries on his shoulder about the
    wedding.  Max tells Renee' that he convinced Blair to call off the
    wedding and that she will be arriving there very shortly... Renee' is
    very skeptical.  When Blair does not arrive, Max goes over to the
    mansion.
    
    -  Blair arrives at the mansion looking very nice in her Paris wedding
    gown.  She appologizes for being late and says she is ready to marry
    Asa.  Vikki appeals to Blair one last time and asks what Asa is holding
    over head to make her marry him.  She says that she would not
    understand and that she has come this far and is going to go on with
    it.  Just then, Max barges in and asks what is going on... She tells
    him to forget about her and that she is getting married.

    Lisa

    LISA,
    
    Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease do not stop entering your updates. They
    really are terrific.
    
    
    
    Thanks
    
    
    Ann (from the closet)

I was reading in a soap opera magazine (I forgot the name of it) last night an
article about Erika Slezak (Viki).  She was talking about a young man who
was recently fired from the show because of his attitude.  Seems he never arrived
for rehersals on time and had a very cavalier attitude about being prepared.
She was upset that he did not seem to take seriously that he had a good job
on a program, especially in these days of high unemployment for actors.  

She did not mention names, but the way she described him, it sure sounded like
Joey Thrower (Kevin) who suddenly left to "Arizona".

I also read that Billy will reveal to Joey that he is gay.  Through his 
association with Billy, Joey will be caught up in the hate campaign launched
against Billy.  Also, when Andrew takes Billy under his wing and consoles him
the "good" people of Llanview take that to mean that Andrew also is gay.  The
story says that the story will be resolved in late summer, but not before it
personally affects every person on the story.  It also mentioned that Andrew's
brother who died from AIDS was also gay.

    
    thanks everyone for entering the updates.. they are super!  
    
    i am very surprized to hear that kevin got fired.  you know its got to
    be him.  what other young male actors are all of a sudden gone.  do you
    remember the article on him in episodes?  he talked about knowing how
    lucky he was to have the job and how happy he was, etc. etc. etc.  i
    wonder what changed him.  not that i care mind you.
    
    so did blair really marry asa?  the upcoming news a while ago said 
    (form feed for others) 
    
    
    that asa said he was going to make sure blair knew the marriage was not
    in name only.  how gross!!! :) :)
    
    
    
    so anyways.. i wonder who the new man in lunas life will be like and if
    she is going to be going out with him.  i wonder if that is what will
    max realize he cares for her....
    
    so sg. vegga was all in an uproar about cassie and andrew.  i think he
    should be with marty, although they are making it sound like she is
    pretty young.  isn't she supposed to be 21 now that i think of it.  i
    wonder if she will end up with the new kevin???? marty sure would be
    upset if she knew about leeann and jason (which i think is an awful
    pair)... 
    
    i also think its pretty sudden for cassie to be interested in someone
    else if she was so in love with bo.
    
    just my 2 cents.  any updates (you knew i had to ask) thanks...
    
    cj

    I know Cassie  is not a very popular character, but I do 
    like her with Andrew, she does look like a minister's wife.
    

    Review for the last 2 days - Sorry its late, I have been real busy...
    
    - Asa tells Blair that he wants a "real" marriage and not one in name
    only.  He lays down the ground rule for the marriage.  He will giver
    her a $10,000 allowance each and will buy all her clothes and jewelry.
    She will accompany him to all social functions and go on vacation with
    him 4 times a year.  The last 2 rules were:  1) Never mingle with his
    disloyal family, and NEVER see Max again.  He then tells her that they
    are taking a honeymoon to Paris and that Addie will stay home.
    
    - Blair tells Dorian that she may visit Addie while they are away
    
    - Lee Ann receives a registered letter stating that Kevin will be home
    on Friday.  She seems really upset.  Jason is there to comfort her. 
    Luna convinces Jason to tell Lee Ann that he loves her.  He finally
    works up the courage and spills his guts to her.  He says he wants her
    and her baby.... He loves her very much , money or not.
    
    - Jason offers to go back to work at the intruder to make enough money
    to pay Lee Ann's legal bills.  Lee Ann will not let him.
    
    - Billy finally tells Joey that he is gay.  Joey tells Billy that while
    it is still a shock, they are still friends.  Joey's date with Alana
    went really well.  Alana says Joey is "awsome"!
    
    - Sarah's trial begins - New evidence was found outside of Max's house. 
    It is a set of keys with Sarah's fingerprints on it.  A new prosecutor
    is brought in to try the case.  She is a real hard nose attorney.
    
    - Herb resignes as Lanview Mayor during an embarassing press
    conference.
    
    
    Thats all...
    
    Lisa  (have a great weekend)

    
    
    Erika Slezak may not have been talking about someone recent.  She
    could have talking about the guy who played Jake.  When he left
    there was talk about his inability to conform to schedules/policies.
    
    Remember "young" to Erika could just about be anyone except Asa, Renee
    and Clint.

    Lisa,
    
    Thanks for the update!  I haven't been able to watch since Tuesday.
    Soapathon tonight!
    
    Marie

    you know you are right about the young comment but i doubt if jake was
    fired they would of brough him back (and he would come back) for the
    last shows with megan.
    
    i still think its kevin.  she did say recently right??? 
    
    what ever happened to sheila's sister and troy's son.  maybe it was
    him?  still, i think that its kevin because he left so "sudden".  
    
    thanks lisa for the updates.  they were great.  i can't believe asa
    will give her 10,000 a week.  is she still working at the intruder? 
    god, that doesn't even have to go to jewerly and clothes.  i hope she
    is happy.  of course she won't be.  i have a feeling asa is going to
    hurt her and/or addie because she will see max.  i find this storyline
    boring and too much like gabs.  get a new life for max and have blair
    get killed somehow.
    
    so what did leeann say to jason?  was she happy??
    
    i too like the person who plays cassie.  i just don't like what they
    have done with her character.  i mentioned in the beginning that i
    thought she was very pretty.  she is from thomaston maine fwiw.
    
    thanks again,
    
    
    cj

    I saw Wednesday's show when Asa was laying down the law to Blair, and
    I thought he gave her 10k per month, not week.  Either way, I'd love
    to spend that kind of money!!  If she doesn't spend it on clothes or
    jewelry, what could she spend that much on??!!?  My finite mind can't
    comprehend that!!
    
    When Blair told Dorian she could see Addie while she was gone, Blair
    told her she prefered that so she wouldn't have to see Dorian.
    
    There was also some dialog between Billy's parents and Andrew about
    them not wanting Billy to work at the Community Center, that they
    didn't want him being around that class of people (that the center was
    trying to help), or something like that.  They were very snotty to
    Andrew.

    Spoiler:
    
    Just saw the new Kevin, he doesn't look much older than the original,
    nor is he as cute, but he looks more rugged and mature. The actor's  name
    is Kurt Geiger.

    comments about upcoming news:
    
    
    
    i can't believe that cassie and andrew make love so soon after her
    relationship with bo.  and with a priest no less!!!
    
    i think that marty and kevin are going to end up together :(
    
    i think that leann and jason will make love much too soon after her
    pregancy if you know what i mean.  two weeks tops and we all know that
    is impossible!
    
    who really killed carlo???  julia's contract was permanent right?  i
    remember it being temporary but .. i could be wrong!!! :)
    
    does anyone have any updates???? :)
    
    thanks for the upcoming news, it looks like the show might pick up!
    
    cj

    Here is the update for Friday June 19 -
    
    - Jason tells Lee Ann how much he loves.  Lee Ann is touched.  She says 
    she tried to be a "tart" for Max, and a sophisticated woman for Kevin,
    and that Jason is the only one to love her for who she really is. 
    Jason also says that he wants all of her even her baby.  He will have
    no trouble loving someone elses baby.  Lee Ann writes on a piece of
    paper "Jason Webb, I love you" and hands it to him to read.  He does
    and a big smile comes over his face.  They kiss.
    
    -  Kevin returns home and comes into Vikki's room.  Vikki is very
    happy.  Just before his return, she was talking to Megan's picture
    telling her how much she misses her and how much things have changed
    since she died.  Kevin informs Vikki he intends to forgive Lee Ann for
    the incident with Jason and plans to take her back (the nerve!).
    
    -  Kevin knocks on Jason's room.  Jason leaves so he and Lee Ann can
    talk.  Kevin says he forgives her.  Lee Ann is outraged.  She says that
    he has nothing to forgive her for.  She thanks him for accusing her of
    sleeping with Jason.  A confused Kevin asks why?  She says because it
    made her know this...she hands Kevin the paper with her message to
    Jason written on it.  Just then, she opens the door and Jason comes in. 
    They hug each other they hold hands and face Kevin and declare their
    love for each other.
    
    -  Luna's new lovebug show goes on the air.  She dedicates the first
    song to Max Holden... A friend who is in need... Max in the meantime is
    stone cold drunk at Rodies Bar.  Rodie calls Luna and tells her she
    better come quick to pick Max up.  She arrives as Max declares that he
    no longer believes in love.  Luna takes Max home and puts him to sleep
    on the couch.  Max tells her that he feels like someone cut his heart
    out.  Luna  has tears in her eyes.  She tells him she knows how he
    feels because she felt that way when her husband died.  Max told her
    that Joe Hawk said that she was serenity.
    
    -  The trial open up.... On the stand:
    
    	1.  Maggie - completely against Sarah
    	2.  Alex - Turns on the water works and says how blissfully happy
    	    her and Carlo were
    	3.  Cassie - Admits that she hates Sarah for taking Bo away but
    	    that she DID not purger herself just to get at Sarah.
    
    Thats all....
    
    
    Lisa (who can't wait to see Andrew and Cassie make love - remember, he
    is not catholic!)
    

    cj
    
    It doesn't surprise me about Cassie and Andrew.  She's on the rebound
    from her relationship with Bo.  Also, Andrew isn't a priest, he's a
    minister. 
    
    Marie

    
    but don't you think its funny that someone so intelligent and a man of
    the cloth would fall for her knowing that????
    
    thanks for the update lisa, your a gem!
    
    who killed carlo?  i know the writers aren't that good but it couldn't
    be julia could it?  isn't that too easy?
    
    

    Maybe it could be Addie...... She was always babbling
    Murder...Murder...Murder.  Maybe she killed Carlo?????
    Wouldn't that be convenient, ship Addie off to a mental 
    hospital,  Blair would have no reason to stay with Asa, 
    try and go back to Max, but he will already be in love with
    Luna.... WOW....NO WAY....
    
    Probably not... but I bet she knows who did kill him though!
    
    Maybe Carlo's brother will come back and end up being the killer
    of his brother???
    
    Who knows.... I am really stumped..
    
    Lisa

    I think Addie saw who the murderer was and will play a big part in
    solving it.
    
    Cheryl

    I agree, Addie knows who did it.  I still think it was Julia.  

    lisa, i love your idea about addie doing it and blair losing out on
    max.  i do believe that luna and max will be together someday.  who
    knows, maybe with max drunk right now he will fall all over her
    (although she wouldn't succumb to him) and they would go to bed, kinda
    like what happened with him and gabs when she was married to steve who
    was in the hospital.  remember that?  the good ol' days.
    
    i also agree that addie saw the murder.  you are right it probably is
    julia.  and this is why her character had only a temporary contract.
    
    or should i say the actress herself.
    
    anyways.. got to run. thanks for all the updates and stuff.  
    
    cj

    
    
    
    YESTERDAY on OLTL
    
    - Lee Ann and Jason make plans for the future
    
    - Kevin asks his mother to please apologize to Lee Ann for making her
    fell uncomfortable when she lived with them. Vikki agreed.  She went to
    see Lee Ann and again apologized. (she was quite gracious).  Lee Ann
    also apologized.  Vikki asked Lee Ann to please be honest with her and
    asked her if she ever really loved Kevin.  Lee Ann said that she really
    tried to love him but she just couldn't.  Vikki appreciated her honesty
    and told her that she wanted Lee Ann to keep the baby.  Lee Ann was
    shocked.  She couldn't believe that Vikki could actually be on her
    side.  She reminded Lee Ann that Megan had been taken from her and that
    a mother belongs with her child.
    
    -  Lee Ann tells Kevin that she wants a divorce and that she does not
    love him.  He says he does  not want to be married to someone who does
    not love him, that he deserved better than that.  Kevin tells Vikki
    that he will NOT let Jason be the father to his baby.
    
    -  At the trial...:
    
    	- Julia is on the stand and recants her original story.  She says
          that Carlo threatened her but sticks to her story that she cannot
    	  walk.
    
    -  At the trial's intermission, Max tells Bo that while he was drunk on
    the couch at his house, he remembers waking up, and seeing Julia walk
    to pick up something she dropped.  He says that he would testify for
    Sarah to that fact.
    
    -  Max also remembers Addie the night that Nigel found her in the
    attic.  She was playing with dolls saying "Murder..Murder..I saw you do
    it...Murder."  Max tells Bo that he thinks that Addie is the key to
    solving the case.
    
    -  Joey struggles with Billy's news.
    
    -  Marty reverts back to a smartmouth jerk.  Her and Billy have a run
    in and she plans on getting back at him.
    
    -  Cassie meets Andrew at the court house.  They kiss.. Cassie had just
    forgot a lunch date she made with him.  She is very worried about Herb. 
    Just then, Herb appears looking very good... He says his phone was off
    the hook.
    
    -  Marty warns Cassie that her and Andrew have a thing together. 
    Andrew is tickled that Cassie seems jealous and gives her a big kiss. 
    He tells her that Marty has a crush on him and that he can handle it. 
    Cassie hopes that Andrew is not just being naive.  Cassie feels that
    marty can cause big trouble...
    
    
    thats all...
    
    
    Lisa

    What if Rene killed Carlo, and ASA knew that Addie saw her do it.
    So in order for him to protect Rene' he pretends to like Blair,
    gets her to marry him, and then keeps Addie under his lock and
    key, so she can't incriminate Rene.... hmmmm.  Too far fetched eh?

    Renee was on trial not to long ago for the murder on Duanne, I don't 
    think they would make her character the killer this time.  Besides, Asa
    has never been willing to make any sacrifice for anyone.  He would have
    tried to bribe Blair to keep Addie away.  
    
    I would be nice to see him and Renee together again.  They were a 
    mature who seemed genuinely in love.  

    Here is a very quick update...
    
    
    - Jason and Lee Ann grow closer. Jason asks Lee Ann to move in with
    him.  He also presents Lee Ann with a box of toys for the new baby
    
    - Clint gives Kevin a bunch of stuff for not standing up to Lee Ann. 
    He wants Kevin to fight for the baby.
    
    - Max thanks Luna for being such a good friend and asks her help in
    finding out information on Julia.  Luna distracts Addies nurse by
    talking to her about the Love Bug show.  Max talks to Addie and finds
    out that Addie did in fact witness something the night of the murder.
    She says she saw a lady get out of a chair... (Julia) but just then,
    the nurse comes and quickly escorts Max out before he could get the
    whole story.
    
    - Bo asks for Cain and Tina's help in helping to prove Sarah's
    innocence.
    
    - Julia makes travel plans to get out of town quickly.  She knows that
    Bo and Max are close on her trail.
    
    - Soap Oprah Digest says that Lee Ann will have the baby early next
    week!  It also says that Sarah will be found guilty!
    
    Thats all...
    
    Lisa..

    I saw Herb questioning Renee during the trial, what is his role?

    >>I saw Herb questioning Renee during the trial, what is his role?
    
    Yesterday, Cassie went to Jon to ask him to find a job for Herb.  She
    was worried about him after he resigned as mayor (Alex forced it by
    printing set up pictures of him with hookers, drunk, etc).  Jon and
    Sarah asked Herb if he'd help out on the case.  So he's now co-defense.

    here is the update for Wednesday 6/24
    
    (FYI - I will be on vacation on Friday so maybe someone can take up the 
     slack and enter an update for todays show tomorrow... thanks)
    
    - Joey and Billy talk about their feelings towards each now that Joey 
      knows that Billy is Gay.  Joey says he just did not know what to say
      earlier but that they are still friends.  However, Joey was reluctant
      to camp out for Genesis tickets with Billy.  (IMHO - I think that
      Joey is worried that people will think that he is gay.)  Alana is
      angry with Joey and says that he has been treating Billy really bad
      since he told him he was gay.  When she said this, Marty was snooping
      and overheard the entire converstaion. (watch out!)
    
    - The trial... I can sum this up in just a few words. I think it is
      really boring and predictable.  All witnesses called (Sheila,
      Renee'...)  were supossed to be for the defense, but ended up making it
      look bad for Sarah.
    
    - Sloan goes to see a doctor in town to inform him of his illness.  The
      doctor said that there were treatments he could take to fight the 
      disease, but Sloan would not listen.  He said his last doctor gave
      him 6 months to live and the he planned on enjoying the rest of his
      time on this earth and to make sure his son finds a woman to carry
      on the Carpenter name.
    
    - John gets Herb to help out on Sarah's defense
    
    - Tina and Cain call on Julia to try and help Sarah out by proving that
      she really can walk.  They act as appraisers and when Julia is away,
      they tape a $100. dollar bill to the wall where Julia will see it.  
      When they leave, they wait below the window with a camera.  Julia
      sees the money, hops up out of her chair and snatches the money.  
      However, Tina and Cain missed their opportunity because they were
      kissing.
    
    - Hank kisses Sheila outside the court room. He had just cross examined
      her and she was very upset.  He appologized but said it was just his
      job, and then he planted one on her.  She pulled away.  Hank
      encourages Sheila to search her heart before she marries Troy.  His
      feelings are clear.  When Hank leaves, Troy finds Sheila crying, and
      assumes that it is because of her testimony... Sheila seems really
      torn.
    
    Thats all...

    There was an article in U.S.A. Today on Thursday:
    
    "Getting a Second Lease on 'Life'"
    by Donna Gable, USA Today
    
    
    
    "One Life to Live"'s evil Carlo has been cremated - just ask his
    bereaved widow, Alex, who talks to his ashes.
    
    Thom Christopher, who won an Emmy Tuesday for his protrayal of Carlo,
    says, "I'll miss Carlo, but where I'm going now has never been done in
    daytime TV."
    
    Christopher returns to Llanview July 13 as Dr. Mortimer Burn, who is
    the opposite of Carlo in every way.
    
    But eyes are the mirror of the soul and when the widow Alex meets
    Mortimer, she finds a good use for him.
    
    Christopher drew laughs Emmy night when he accepted his award by saying
    "I've squelched any ciritics who say daytime is about people with hair
    only"

    'I never seriously entertained the thought of getting a real tattoo,'
    says actor David Ledingham, who debuts July 2 as a hunky rebel named
    Swade on ABC's daytime soap One Life to Live.  'I figured I might
    change my mind down the road, and then I'd be stuck with it.'  But
    Ledingham is thrilled with the black panther that he has applied to his
    shoulder by the show's makeup artist each week.  'It gives me a
    different persona,' he says.  'I feel dangerous.'
    
    
    There wasn't a picture of him. 
    
    Angie

    Caught a bit of the show yesterday, so this will be very rough.
    
    Cassie was with Andrew at the beginning of the show, but left to go to
    the courthouse.  Marty immediately began throwing herself at Andrew who
    keeps putting her off.  Joey confided in Kevin about Billy being gay. 
    (I wasn't paying too much attention here, getting ready to leave the
    house - sorry)
    
    I paid more attention to the trial - The prosecution was really laying
    into Sarah on her part in everything getting her to admit that she
    hated Carlo but, as she said, she may have hated him, but didn't kill
    him, she couldn't kill anyone.  The lady prosecutor (sorry, don't see
    the show enough to know everyone's name) goes into a screaming fit and
    brings up the fact that she killed Austin and that didn't seem to
    bother her.  Bo jumps up at this point and say's that's enough and
    the judge ends up calling a brief recess for everyone to calm down.
    During the recess, John receives a note from his uncle saying that
    Judith has taken very ill and he's needed at once.  John tells Herb he
    has to take over the defense and he's confident he'll do a good job.
    Bo and Herb are talking about things and Bo says only one thing will
    help Sarah and he knows who it is.  They need to prove that Julia can
    walk to shed some doubt on Sarah's guilt.  Herb asks for a recess to recall
    a witness which the judge grants for 30 min. only.  Herb recalls Julia
    and shows her photographs of herself and the FAB agent that Carlo
    killed.  Herb gets Julia to admit that she and the agent were lovers
    and that she hated Carlo for killing him.  Things got very theatrical
    here with Herb shining the projector lights in Julia's eyes trying to
    get her to move.  They got into a major shouting match over her hatred
    of Carlo which involved everyone, Judge, prosecutors, etc at which
    point Julia forgot herself, jumped up and walked.  The look on her face
    when she realized what she had done was priceless.  The showed ended
    with Julia standing there and everyone looking stunned.  Victory for
    Herb on that one.
    
    While all this was going on, back at the community center, Andrew was
    in his office working when in comes Marty - in a towel - she tells him
    that she tought he could use a break and proceeds to drop the towel -
    end of scene.
    
    Sorry this is so choppy, I really only paid semi-close attention to
    what I was interested in and I haven't seen the show in a while so
    don't know the newer characters too well.  I'm mostly a read-only
    person.

    there was also a scene with leanne and jason.
    
    they were in the apartment i think that they moved into together and
    dorian came in.  she told leeann that she would pay for her divorce,
    get her custody of the baby and give her money, etc. if she would leave
    jason alone.  jason came out and was upset.  he got dorian to admit why
    she was offering all that to leeann (first she said it was the intruder
    that missed him and she tripled his salary, then she said she needed
    him for personal reasons).  leeann went over to jason and said
    something like "let me tell you how jason feels" and kissed him.  he
    kinda moaned and leanne asked if dorian needed that repeated and kissed
    him again.  IMHO, it was pretty stupid but the two carry eachother well
    and i'm sure will have some hot scenes once they get that basketball
    out of her dresses.  dorian was upset and i think just left.
    
    then later on leeanne had a contraction and jason said it was probably
    a false one like last week. she told him to calm down and get
    everything ready because it was real and the baby was coming.  jason
    looked pretty nervous.
    
    i think the rest was covered.  great update.  you should update more
    often.  we need all the help we can get in here!  thanks much!
    
    cj

    Judy... that was a great update!  The few things you did miss are:
    
    When Joey told Kevin about Billy being gay, Kevin was a real jerk.
    He said "what!!! Billy is queer!"  Then later they ran into him at
    the center and Kevin made it known, without actually telling Billy 
    and Alana, that he knew about Billy.
    Also, Dorian once again went to try to bribe LeeAnn to stay away from
    Jason.  While LeeAnn and Dorian are arguing, Jason comes out of the
    shower.  Dorian told Jason that she wants him back, at the paper and in
    her bedroom.  Before Jason can answer, LeeAnn says she can answer
    Dorian.  She starts kissing Jason.
    
    That's about all.

    Upcoming News:
    
    
    
    
    With Jason acting as her coach, Lee Ann gives birth to a baby boy, that
    she names Demerast - Duke for short.  When Kevin announces his plans to
    sue for custody, Lee Ann admits the baby is Max's, but Kevin doesn't
    beleive her.
    
    Marty makes trouble by telling Billy's parents that Andrew is
    homosexual, and that he's interested in Billy.
    
    Asa wants an heir, but that's impossible since Blair refuses to sleep
    with him.

    she knows about the murder.  (Note from me, the murderer will be
    revealed on July 8.)
    
    Andrew is confused when Billy's parents insist he stay away from their
    son.
    
    Sheila tells Troy she can not marry him.

    Cheryl

    Any ideas who is the real murderer?  I thought from the way the trial
    ended thurs. that it was going to be Julia.  I still think it might be
    alex.
    
    doreen
    

    No clues who the murderer is.... I'm so confused....I like it though,
    it is really turning out to be a real mystery... Lets see... Who are 
    the suspects:
    
    It was obviously someone Carlo knew because just before he died, he 
    said..."its you..."
    
    1.  Alex
    2.  Sarah
    3.  Asa
    4.  Renee'
    5.  Julia
    6.  Stephanie...???
    7.  Addie
    8.  Someone from the mob 
    9.  Carlo's twin brother.....
    10. Cain/Tina
    
    Anyone I missed.... Who do you think did it?

    Update for Friday 6/26
    
    - Thanks for filling in last week... your updates were great.
    
    Friday
    
    - Marty slips into Andrews office wearing only a towel.  She opens the
    towel up to display herself to Andrew.  Andrew is angrew and makes her
    leave and tells her that she is going to be reassigned to another
    counselor to serve her community service with.  She yells at him that
    it is not normal that he has no feelings for women.  She leaves. 
    Andrew thinks of Megan and then Cassie.
    
    - Marty sneaks back into Andrews office and starts snooping around.  She
    goes through his desk and tries to find some damaging information to
    use against him.  She is frustrated because all the pieces of paper she 
    finds contain nothing but praise for the work that Andrew does.  She
    then finds Megan's picture in his desk.  She asks why cannot Andrew
    love her now that Megan is gone.  In a fit of anger, she smashed
    Megan's picture and then stuffs it back into the desk.  She finds
    Andrews sweater and puts it on and smells it deeply..
    
    -  Andrew and Billy walk in on Marty.  She tells him she needs to talk. 
    Andrew tells Marty to go to the church and that he will be there soon,
    but right now he plans on talking to Billy.  With Marty listening
    outside the door, Billy tells Andrew he is gay and that he fell in love
    with a boy at camp last year.  Andrew tells Billy he will help him tell
    his parents if he wants..  Billy is very upset, with tears in his eyes. 
    Andrew hugs him to console him.  Marty snoops and sees the two hugging. 
    Knowing that Billy is gay, Marty assumes that Andrew is also gay.  When
    Andrew leaves his office, she sneaks back in and gets Billy's parents
    phone number and calls them and says she has some news about Billy for
    them.
    
    - At the trial, the jury comes back with a verdict .......?
    
    - Lee Ann is deep in labor.. Jason is by her side...(He made a great
    coach)  Kevin goes to the hospital and watches from outside the room.
    As the scene ends, the baby's head has just been delivered.  
    
    - Shelia talks to Hank.  Hank apologizes for kissing her.  Shelia calls
    Troy and says she needs to speak with him about the plans for the
    wedding.
    
    
    Lisa

    Sure is quite out there.....
    
    Update for Monday
    
    - The verdict is in...GUILTY... Sarah and Bo are devistated.  The judge
    calls for a 10 minuet delay before sentencing..... Luna rushes in and
    tells everyone that Julia has left town.  Herb asks the judge if the
    trial may be reopened in light of new evidence.  The judge denies
    Herb's request... Sarah is sentenced to 20 years in statesville prison. 
    They take her away in handcuffs.  
    
    - Luna, Bo and Max try and figure out how Julia could have killed
    Carlo.  They think over the scenario (while flashbacks of the scenes
    are shown in black and white).  Bo says he needs to talk to Addie as
    she may be his only hope for helping Sarah.
    
    - Asa and Blair go to the courthouse.  Asa almost glotes that had Bo
    come to him, he could have bought the judge off.  Blair is by his side
    and obviously upset because Max is there.  Max says "Old man... there
    are still some things in this world that you money cannot buy...".  Asa
    replies that he feels like a stud being married all over again.  They
    leave.  At lunch, Asa conveys his displeasure in Blair and him not
    having slept together yet.  He said that he understands the honeymoon
    jitters, but tonight, they will be man and wife.
    
    - Marty tells Billy's parents that she thinks Andrew is gay and
    infatuated with Billy.  His parents are greatful for the information. 
    When Billy comes to the lunch table, his parents are very calm and tell
    him that there are men in this world who like other men and the if he
    is ever approached by one, to run away.  The proceed to say that these
    men are perverts and abnormal.  Billy just sits there and stews. 
    
    - Now last week, Andrew invited Cassie to a cabin for the weekend...  I
    think I might have missed something, because yesterday, Cassie and
    Andrew were sitting at the lunch table like a bunch of love sick school
    kids.  They were talking about what Andrew's congrigation would think. 
    Andrew remindes Cassie that he did NOT take a vou of selibacy (sp.?). 
    They are really cute together. Andrew says the have a problem.....His
    father will be very happy about the situation....  Cassie teases Andrew
    and says she would like some time alone with him right now to show him
    how she feels about him. .... Andrew is flushed and says he needs to go
    back to the church, and he is not "prepared"?!?!?! (maybe
    birthcontrol?).  Cassie then says NO.....just tennis...Andrew
    agrees...they kiss again.
    
    	(the scene was real cute.  It leads me to believe that the 2 of
         them have already made love.  I might be mistaken though.  Maybe
         they are just planning to make love.....???? I hope I did not 
         miss that.... it is going to be a great scene - Help....!?!?!?!)
    
    - Billy tells Alana that he thinks something is up with his parents, he
    does not know what, but it is something big.
    
    - After seeing Blair, Max tells Luna that he is fine.... he is going to
    get on with his life.
    
    - Lee Ann gives birth to a little boy...(looks to be about 3 months
    old! - but hey, this is soapland).  Both Jason and her are so happy. 
    Jason leaves to call Wanda and Luna and runs into Kevin outside the
    door.  They have a small fight, but Jason backs off.  He almost spills
    the beans that the baby is not his.... something to the effect "....Lee
    Ann is not your wife, and that is not your...." he stops just in time. 
    Kevin goes into the room and is just tickled with the baby.  Lee Ann
    informs him that she will call him Demerist (sp.?) , her old last name in
    memory of her family, and will call him "Duke" for short.  Kevin is
    moved to tears looking at the baby.  He tells Lee Ann to call if she
    needs anything.  When he leaves, Lee Ann tells Jason that she can no
    longer break Kevin's heart and lie about "Duke".  How can she, he is
    right here!  She is going to tell Max and Kevin the truth. 
    
    
    Lisa....

    Lisa:
    
    Great updates.  I think Cassie and Andrew have already made love. 
    Remember the scene last week after their date, they were in his bedroom
    and then the next scene was them in bed, with Cassie wearing his shirt,
    and both were eating popcorn.  Then they had a popcorn fight, then
    began kissing and the screen faded to commercial.
    
    Cheryl

    Lisa... you did miss Andrew and Cassie "sleeping" together but you
    didn't miss much.  They were kissing on his bed and then the next you
    saw they were getting dressed.
    
    Also, I'm sooooooo glad LeeAnn is finally going to tell Kevin the baby 
    is Max's.  I still hope the baby ends up being Kevin's.  In the very
    beginning LeeAnn had no idea who's baby it was and now she's just so
    sure he's Max's.
    
    Carlo's killer.....a couple of guesses.  JJ whatever (scarecrow) didn't
    die when Carlo shot him and he and Julia killed Carlo......OR
    Julia and Alex did it together.
    
    Marie

    I had to laugh when LeeAnn gave birth to her son. The Baby came out
    looking not like a brand new  newborn. I know this is soapland, but
    they could have made the baby look a little like a newborn.
    
    Eagle Eye,
    
    Lynne

    Lynne..... really!  I agree....the baby looked to be about 3 months
    old....cooing and looking around, etc. right after birth!  Give me a
    break!!!
    I've never cared for Jason much but....have any of you seen the
    comercial with Jason and LeeAnn on the motorcycle?  He looked pretty
    good.
    
    Marie

    I saw the commercial and I thought he look like ____.
    
    She looke dok though! 
    
    Dennis

    Boo....!
    
    I cannot believe that I missed that scene with Cassie and Bo!
    
    I am so bummed.... My husband was home for lunch that day and flipped
    it over to FNN for about 20 minuets of the show.....!
    
    Lisa

    
    Partial update for 6/30
    
    
    
    	
    Kevin goes to some sleazy lawyer who tells Kevin if he wants to start
    a custody battle he had better be ready to dig up lots of dirt on
    Leeann and slap her so hard with it that it sticks.  He must prove she
    is an unfit mother.  Kevin says, yes do it!  (IMHO this Kevin is better
    than the last one - at least more believable).
    
    Tian is visiting Blair (after something - but I missed that part).  She
    tells Blair that maybe they can be friends as they are both isolated
    and people are down on them because Blair married Asa and because Tina
    likes Cain.  Blair says she can't be friends with someone she doesn't
    trust and leaves to check on Addie.  Just before Tina leaves, she
    overhears the nurse and the maid talking about how Blair and Asa do NOT
    sleep together.  Tina walks in on them and says so.. what do I hear? 
    Just then Asa comes in and gets the jist of the conversation.  He
    throws Tina out and fires the help.  He then goes to Blair and says
    "NOW WOMAN"!.   well.. not really, but pretty close.  She prepares
    herself for the worst sex in her life as it ends..... YUCKO!!!
    
    Meanwhile, Tina runs back and tells Cain the scoop. Luna overhears and
    is worried that Max will find out Blair has been holding out on the old
    creepy Asa.
    
    that's about all I saw..

    Thanks for the great update!  I wasn't able to watch my tape last night
    and probably won't get to watch today's either.  Boy, Kevin has turned
    really hard.  I agree, as much as I liked the other Kevin, the old
    Kevin couldn't have pulled off being mean.
    
    Marie

    Ok, I know I'm picking on Leeann.....
    
    Now, in yesterdays program, she arrived home  after one day, which I
    know some hospitals kick you out after one day, but.... she did not act
    like she just had a baby, she walked and was moving around quite
    quickly. (I had easy births for my two sons, but you still walk a
    liitle different right after having a baby). 
    
    Just my 2 cents,
    
    Eagle Eye,
    Lynne

    
    Thanks for the partial update.... here is the rest
    of yesterday's show!
    
    - At Wanda's place, Sheila is having lunch with Troy.  He asks her what
    is bothering her.  She said it was Sarah's conviction.  He knows that
    it is something more and asks her about the wedding.  She confesses
    that she is not sure if she wants to marry him and whether or not it
    was the correct decision saying YES to his proposal.  Just then, Hank
    and his daughter come in and a HUGE light bulb goes off over Troy's
    head.  He asks her if HE is the reason she is turning him down.  She
    says nothing.  Hank walks over to the table, sensing trouble in love
    bird land.... He makes some sort of smart remark, and the two of them
    begin to fight.  Sheila breaks them up and tells them both to leave. 
    She says to Hank that she needs time to figure out what she truly
    wants.
    
    
    - Asa is visited by Clint who yells at him for being so cold to Bo
    after Sarah was convicted.  Asa, who is drinking, says that all of his
    children are unloyal.  Clint blames losing Renee' and the rest of the
    family on Blair.  Asa says that he now has a chance of raising a
    Buchannon with some loyalty - refering to Lee Ann's Baby.  He finishes
    his conversation by calling Lee Ann a tramp.
    
    - Jason brings Lee Ann and Duke home.  He surprises them with a
    bassinet for the baby.  Lee Ann tells him that her life is perfect. 
    Jason reminds her that it will only be perfect as soon as she tells
    Kevin the truth.  She calls Kevin and gets Clint on the phone.  Kevin
    is sitting at the table, and motions to Clint that he does NOT want to
    talk to Lee Ann.
    
    - Clint tells Kevin to see his lawyer, but he will not pressure him.
    
    - Jason visists the lawyer (see the earlier update) The only thing I
    will add is that Hank's daughter (i forget her name) is the new
    secretary at the lawyers office.  She is totally confused and her and
    Kevin tease each other... Maybe future sparks between these two...???
    
    - Asa visits Lee Ann and Duke.  He wants to hold the baby, but Lee Ann
    will not allow him.  He says that he is going to start legal
    proceedings against her because she is a tramp and is an unfit mother. 
    Lee Ann holds her ground, and says that baby Duke is the only perfect
    thing she has ever done (this is the same line used on All My Children
    when Janet was talking about Amanda!) and that she is going to shield
    him from his family.
    
    - Blair finds out the Max visited Addie.  She goes to serenity springs
    spa to confront Max.  This is our first look at the spa.  It seems
    pretty nice, decorated in mostly wood decor.  Blair and Max talk.  Max
    tells Blair about his thoughts that Addie witnessed the murder.  Max
    taungts Blair about Asa, asking her is she realizes what she has given
    up.  Blair lies and says that he was charming, but that was all.... She
    warns him to stay away from Addie.
    
    - Back at the mansion, Asa yells at the nurse and house staff for
    teasing that they sleep in different beds.  Blair runs to her room and
    closes the door, with Ass right behind her.  He reminds her that they
    made a deal and that she better live up to her end of it.  With that,
    she opens the door and Asa enters, already getting undressed.  Blair
    looks absolutely green.!

    
    
    .1357 - I like the typo on Asa's name in the last paragraph of the
    update.

    Kirsten... I got quite a chuckle when I read that one also...it is
    very appropriate!!  :^)
    
    Marie

    I just caught a little of the show yesterday and Blair stated she wants
    OUT of the agreement with Asa.  She said nothing would make her change
    her mind about sleeping with him!!! (Yea!!! Asa is YUKY!)  
    
    Also, I saw LeeAnn and Dorian on some show 1-900-???? for Tarot Card
    Readings!!!
    
    Wild Stuff!!
    
    Back in the closet!!

    I only saw a small part of the show yesterday but here goes...
    
    
    - Andrew gives a sermon for a member of his church who recently died. 
    Cassie makes sure that Sloan attends his son's eulogy to show him what
    a great sone he has.  During the eulogy, Andrew surprises the
    congregation by telling them that this man died of complications of
    AIDS.  He also admits that his own brother died of aids.  Andrew also
    preaches about dangers of contracting the disease, very graphically.
    Sloan, looking on, is very angry.
    
    - After sleeping with Asa, Blair demands that Asa never touch her
    again.  She asks for an annulment.  Asa remindes her that he will have
    her mother institutionalized if she tries to divorce him.  He tells her
    he wants her to bear him a son. (I bet Blair gets prego and does not
    who the father is - Max or Asa).
    
    - Cain is left to babysit C.J. and teaches him to play cards,
    specifically, 3 card montey!
    
    - Bo/Clint work on a plan to smoke out the real killer
    
    - Bo asks Blairs permission to please talk to Addie.
    
     - Vikki and Clint wonder what Joey is bruding about
    
    Have a great weekend....
    
    I will update for Thursday and Friday on Monday morning.
    
    Lisa

    
    Here's the upcoming news:
    
    
    
    
    Asa tells Clint that he has written a new will, leaving everything to
    the heir he is going to have with Blair.  Clint warns his father to
    make sure the baby isn't Max Holden's.  
    
    Meanwhile, Lee Ann has told Max that he is the father of her son.  Once
    Max get over the shock, he asks Lee Ann to marry him.
    
    The Bishop tells Andrew that Mr. and Mrs. Douglas have accused Andrew
    of being a homosexual and coming on to Billy.  Andrew's stunned to
    learn Billy hasn't said anything to the contrary.
    
    Alex asks Cain to tell her how she can steal the Cleopatra Jewels that
    will soon be on display at the local museum.
    
    Herb takes a job with the Illinois Attorney General. 
    
    The murderer is caught, and Sarah and Bo are reunited.
    
    Next:  Stephanie tries to adjust to her new life.  Jason wonders what
    Lee Ann will do.
    
    Cheryl

    any updates for friday?  i didn't get to watch EVEN THOUGH I WAS HOME!
    
    comments on the news....
    
    
    
    
    well well well, i happen for one to think that lee ann is going to
    accept max's proposal and jason is going to flip.  of course, the
    wedding will never take place and by then jason will be back with
    dorian being the bad guy that he was when he arrived.  he will still
    love lee ann but it will take alot to win him over.  the wedding will
    not take place because the baby is really kevins and max will find out
    just before he goes down the isle.
    
    i don't think that blair is going to have max's baby.  its too obvious
    and the family will check things out.  don't you think?  of course,
    asa could just try and forget it when blair gets pregnant (because we
    all know that she will be shortly).  i dunno, i find this whole story
    boring.
    
    so cain and alex might get together eh?  that will frost tina's little
    behind.  there had to be some turmoil for them soon anyways.. they were
    getting along too well. :)
    
    well, i guess that is all the comments that i have.  i wonder who the
    murderer is though???? with stephanie adjusting to her new life maybe
    its her???????  naw..............

    Here are the updates from the end of last week... I hope you all had a
    great holiday... Thanks for the upcoming news...
    
    - Addie is drawing pictures of the murder scene, but Blair tears them
    up and declares that no one, not even Asa's family will see her  mother
    anymore.
    
    - Lee Ann tells Kevin that he baby is not his. He asks her if she was
    lying and if it is Jason's.  She says NO that it is Max Holdens.  Kevin
    goes nuts.  He does not believe her and says that she is just saying
    this to keep him from suing for custody.  He storms out and says that
    the fight is not over...the baby must be his because it has his
    hands...(hands????)  She tells him that she is going to tell Max real
    soon.
    
    -  Asa buys Blair a new dress and jewelry for the 4th of July party at
    the country club.  He is really treating Blair like a possession and
    acting like a real jerk.  At the party, Asa parades Blair off like a
    horse in front of the contry club gathering.  Upset, Blair runs off to
    the stables in tears.  
    
    -  Cain is trying to get back into Asa's good graces.  He thinks he can
    by showing Asa that Blair and Max still love each other.  At the party,
    which Max is also at, Cain sees Blair run off.  He tells Max that Blair
    wants to see him in the stables.  Max is angry, but goes anyway.  Cain
    then goes to find Asa, but he was called away on business.
    
    -  In the stables, Max angrily confronts Blair.  He asks her why she is
    crying (not out of concern).  He forces her to admit that she still
    loves him.  He is relentless... when she finally caves in, she
    says..."Yes I still love you, I ache for for, I am miserable without
    you...".  Max thinks that she is just playing with his emotions and
    responds with "Tell it to your husband, honey, maybe he cares..." and
    storms out of the stables, leaving Blair in tears.
    
    - Luna goes to the stables looking for Max and finds Blair in tears. 
    She says that she has always been a sucker for someone crying.  She
    says she is crying over Max.  Luna says, what do you expect, you
    stepped all over that man's heart.  Luna wants to know what kind of
    hold that Asa has over her.  Blair is about to tell LUna, but cannot. 
    She finally tells Luna to go to Max that he needs her and to take care
    of him....
     
    - Kevin warns Asa to stop harassing Lee Ann and the baby.
    
    - Bo and Cline convince Luna to broadcast a phoney news story.  The
    story claims that there is an eyewitness to the murder of Carlo, Addie,
    and that she is in the hospital, awaiting to speak to police.  Bo
    believes that if the real killer thinks that Addie saw the murder, then
    he/she will come to the hospital and try to kill Addie, giving
    themselves away.  Luna broadcasts the story, as well as the story is
    being run on the front page of the Banner.  When Hank sees the story,
    he is real angry.  
    
    - Hank dances with Sheila at the ball
    
    - Billy's parents try and fix him up with the daughter of a rich couple
    at the party.  Marty sees this and gets Billy to go on the porch with
    her.  She steals a bottle of Vodaka, and dares Billy to drink it. She
    asks, why not... "Are you afraid of your parents..".  With that Billy
    drinks and gets real drunk.  They leave and go to the community center
    party.  At the party, Joey and Alana are getting along great and start
    to dance.  When Billy and Marty come in, Billy grabs Alana and asks to
    dance.  She says No and is mortified that he is drunk.  Billy grabs
    Alana and starts to paw all over her.  He asks her if she likes him
    better this way, ... you know, you are a female and I am a male, isn't
    this the way it is supossed to be.  Alana gets free and runs away
    crying.  Joey goes after Alana.  Billy goes over to some older boys in
    the crowd.  They go out back for a little excitement (illegal
    fireworks)
    
    -  Andrew and Cassie stop by the community center party, and suddenly
    hear a real LOUD explosion.  One of the older boys rushes in and yells
    call an ambulance, there has been an accident.
    
    - Sloan and Vikki dance at the ball.  Cassie and Andrew bump into them
    on the floor.  They exchange hellos, and Andrew teases his father, that
    he won't tell Clint that he saw them together.  Sloan takes the comment
    the wrong way and storms off.  Vikki goes after him.  They talk in
    private and Vikki asks Sloan what is the matter.  He is about to tell
    her but changes his mind and asks her to go on a day trip to Washington
    D.C. with him.  She says she would love to but she and Cling are busy
    tomorrow but the two of them would love to do it someother time.  Sloan
    seems upset that she mentioned bringing Clint along....
    
    That about all I can think of......

    I was just reading The USA Newspaper and read this:
    
    Carlo's murderer will be known on Wednesday, July 8th. 
    
    This was the part that caught me by surprise:
    
    " Carlo isn't the only one whos's been bumped off the show. Grace
    Phillips who plays Sarah (thrown in the hoosegow for Carlo's murder)
    left the show. Gottlieb says, The part will eventually be re-cast".
    
    Did anyone hear any of this?
    
    E.E
    Lynne  

    thanks so much for the updates lisa.. your a peach.
    
    and thanks for all the news.  i can't believe that grace/sarah is
    leaving.  i just got my episodes and they had alot in there about her. 
    the makeup they used made her look like a corpse.  it was awful!!!!
    anyways... so the part will "eventually" be re-cast?  they took so long
    doing it the first time around.  i suppose her and bo will go away to
    be alone for a while after she gets out of jail maybe... who knows..
    who cares, i don't like the two of them together -- no chemistry.  IMHO
    of course.
    
    who is the murderer?  what are they doing to the character of kevin? 
    marty sure looks like a real witch lately... doesn't she?  and, what is
    going on with stephanie and her "new" life????  is she the next
    charlotte?
    
    my magazine said that jake will be back for a bit.  that will probably
    be the scenes where we see megan as a ghost.  it also said that kevin
    was re-cast because they needed new direction.
    
    thanks again!

    Saw a bit of this show at lunch today (made it for pizza on Monday
    since I missed Friday).
    
    
    Bo and Clint are in the hospital room where they've stuffed the bed
    with pillows to make it look like Addie sleeping (gee Addie has the
    squarest body around ;-).)  Larry signals them that someone is coming
    so they hide behind one of those things you dress behind.  The door
    opens and Sgt. Vega and the DA come in.  I missed if there was a
    scuffle with Bo and Clint or not.  Anyway, they're all standing there
    discussing the merit of the idea to trap the killer.  The DA and Sgt.
    Vega are mad because Bo and Clint went around the police but they agree
    it is a good idea and are willing to take it over.  Bo and Clint want
    to stay and help.  Then Sheila comes in demanding to know what is going
    on.  They explain to her.  In the meantime the killer is supposed to be
    on the way at any minute.
    
    Later, while the 4 of them are still discussing how they're putting
    Addie in danger etc., Blair comes into the hospital.  She had made an
    appointment for some birth control after Asa told her she'd be in his
    bed everynight until she gave him a son.  She swore that she would not
    have his baby and made an appointment.  She was able to go right over
    for her appointment (I have to book weeks in advance for mine.) 
    Anyway, when she is leaving she runs into Sheila who tells her about
    the plan Bo and Clint have hatched.  She is surprised when Blair
    doesn't know anything about it.  So, Blair goes running over to the 
    room where Bo, Clint, et al are still discussing the merits of the
    plan and gives them heck for putting her mother in danger.  While this
    is all going on someone (we only see from their camera point of view)
    comes up to the door of the room.  The maintenance guy who has been 
    mopping the floor out front of the room most of the time everything has
    been taking place tells the visitor "oh you've come to visit the patient 
    in this room, well, there isn't really anyone in this room except the 
    police."  Next thing you see is the door swinging in the breeze as the
    visitor beats a hasty retreat.
    
    About this time Bo, Clint, Vega and the DA have just convinced Blair
    that her mother is in the safest place in town at Asa's...as long as
    she stays there.  Well, momma had a run in with Asa earlier when he
    found her coloring on his 50 million dollar contracts and threatened
    to have her locked up in a padded cell.  She is very upset and when 
    someone comes to the door she runs outside saying she has to hide so
    Asa won't lock her away (did we see this coming a mile away?).  Then
    the camera angle switches to the viewpoint of someone watching Addie
    through a garden fence.  Addie runs off to hide and this person follows
    her.  End of scene.
    
    Sorry, I left after that so I don't know if anything else happened.
                                                                       

    Reba McIntyre will be on OLTL July 24th & 27th.  She will be playing 
    herself.  OLTL is her favorite soap but she does watch the ENTIRE ABC
    soap lineup.
    
    Robyn

    
    Yes, Grace Phillips (Sarah) is all done with the show. Her last day at
    work was June 26. Her disappearance in July will be written into the
    storyline.
    When Megan returns as an angel on the 15th, she runs around talking to
    everyone, but only Tina can hear her, everyone else can hear her in
    their sleep or feel her. She is going to encourage or discourage people
    to do things

    So, Sarah is going to disappear again.  Can't they be more original???  
    Actually, she was a pretty good Sarah.  I wonder what her replacement
    will be like. I have to admit, I have been forwarding through most of
    this show.  But, I do like this new Kevin.  The part they are having
    him play couldn't have been pulled off by the other actor.

    COMMENTS...
    
    	I cannot believe that they are going to make Sarah disappear
    again!!! I was just getting to like her.  I hope they do not try and
    put another replacement on the show.  Three Sarah's in 2 years is 3 too
    many!  Poor Bo... he should have stayed with Cassie!
    
    The rest of yesterday's show:
    
    -  Kevin asks for Asa's advice about how to deal with Lee Ann.  Asa
    says that he is proud of the boys loyalty to him. When he tells Asa
    that Lee Ann told him the baby was Max Holden's Addie overhears them
    and jumps up and down with glee shouting..."Max's baby!...  Max's
    baby!"
    
    -  After Addie runs out of Asa's house, she goes to Max's house.  Max
    leaves a key for her under a flower pot on the porch.  She goes in the
    house and goes straight for the attic.  Someone is in the bushes
    watching her the whole time, but you do not see who it is.
    
    -  Later, you see a gloved hand get the key and start to open the front
    door of Max's house, the killer!
    
    -  Lee Ann visits Luna at the radio station and tells her that she is
    going to tell Max the truth.  She tells LUna that she hopes that this
    does not mess up her relationship with Max and that she will not tell
    Max that Luna knew the truth all along.  Luna says NO more lies, tell
    Max the truth and tell him that I knew all along.
    
    - Max visist Lee Ann and Duke at Jason's room.  The scene ends
    yesterday with Lee Ann on the edge of telling Max that Duke is his son.
    
    -  NEW STORY LINE - While luna is on the radio, taking calls from the
    public, she has received 2 calls from this real rough looking man, but
    very cute (dark curly hair, tatoos, very very muscular) man in jeans
    and a takn top tee shirt.  He calles each time from a pay phone on a
    brick wall....(I think he is in Jail... but that is just a guess).  He
    calls Luna's love bug show and says that she is just kidding herself if
    she thinks that love will solve the world's problems.   He seems to be
    a very bitter young man and resents Luna's constantly happy spirit.  
    This story line is just developing, but I bet he becomes obsessed with
    Luna and stalks her.
    
    
    thats all!
    
    Lisa

    Could this new guy be luna's dead husband?
    
    just a guess.
    doreen

    Thats an interesting plot.....On one of the calls, Luna asks this man
    where he is calling from and he will not say.... He does say that he is
    from North Carolina.....Luna has a southern accent.....
    
    Could be.....
    
    Lisa

    are you sure that luna's husband is supposed to be dead?  i also
    thought that upcoming news said a "new" love interest for luna would be
    brought on soon.
    
    lisa and gallant, thanks for all the information!
    
    so, who is the murderer???????????????????????????????????????????
    are we finding out today??????????????????????????????????????????
    
    cj

    That's pretty funny...I had the same thought myself about this guy
    being Luna's "dead" husband.  I can't for the life of me remember how
    she said he died but she did say he was dead.  He died shortly after
    they were married and he was very young but that's all I remember about
    him.
    I hope LeeAnn isn't stupid enough to marry Max.  He obviously doesn't
    love her. I wanted Luna and Max to get together but I'm starting to
    think she deserves better.
    
    Marie

    I was so frustrated yesteday with the LeeAnn and Maxx scenes.  Twice
    they ended with LeeAnne getting ready to tell Maxx and I wanted to
    scream!  Are they going to drag this out forever?
    
    

    I was thinking Leanne s/ hold the baby when she tells him.  I could see
    him dropping duke once he heard the news.  
    
    thank god for FF. I can't stand waiting for people to say what you know
    they are going to say.
    
    btw Luna said something like she knew that was a carolina accent.
    
    doeen

    
    The new guy's name calling Luna is Swade. Also the tattoo is the fake
    kind.

    UPDATE for 7-7
    
    Yesterday's show was a good one...
    
    
    -  Andrew is angrily confronted by Billy's parents at the hospital when
    they pick Billy up.  He was only slightly burned by the fireworks
    explosion.  Andrew does not understand the nature of their anger
    towards him.  He is consoled by Cassie.... Finally after much
    pondering, Andrew believes that he might know why his parents are so
    angry at him and he rushes out....
    
    -  Billy's parents go and visit the bishop to tell them the false story
    of Andrews homosexuality.  Shocked by charges, ask Billy for his side
    of the story.  Billy remains quiet and does not answer the questions. 
    He simply says that Andrew was counseling him.  The bishop senses that 
    there is more to the story than meets the eye.  Billy's parents are
    insulted that the bishop does not immediately believe their side of the
    story.  They bring up the fact that he gave a sermon the other day
    about Aids awareness...
    
    -  Max is stunned when Lee Ann tells him the truth that Duke is his
    son.  Max is very angry with the fact that Lee Ann hid the truth from
    him.  He said he had the right to know from the first minuet she knew
    it was his child.  He says that she only wanted to trade Duke's Holden
    name for a Buchannon name.  Lee Ann says that it is not true, but that
    she did what she thought was right at the time.  She brings up the fact
    that Max did NOT love her.  Max says that he does NOT want a KId -
    Jason, raising his son.  Lee Ann defends Jason and says that he was her
    only support during th 9 months and he has already been there for Duke.
    Max forces Lee Ann to confess the fact the Luna knew the truth.  Max is
    really hurt and says that he thought the in Luna he found a woman who
    would not lie to him.  He leaves, needing time to think.
    
    -  Blair tells Bo that Addie feels safe in Max's attick.  They leave to
    go find her.  Addie is playing with dolls in the attick when the
    faceless stalker comes in.... Addie sees the person, and screames.....
    
    -  Upon arriving at Max's house, Blair and Bo find the door open and
    run up to the attick.  The find Addie in a pool of blood.  They soon
    realize, however, that the blood is not hers, but the stalkers.  Addie
    hit this person with a hand mirror.  Bo begins to follow the blood
    train throught the house... It leads to a downstairs closet.  In the
    closet, Bo finds someone hiding under a trenchcoat.  He pulls the
    person out of the closet, and rips the coat off.......(tune in today to
    see who it was...) (my opinion, it is a female because the profile
    under the coat was a petite person.  Also, I do not believe it was
    Julia.  Bo looked too stunned when he removed the coat.  Maybe it was
    Stephanie..?!?!?!...I really do not know...???)
    
    I can't wait for today's show...
    
    Lisa

    Great update Lisa.  
    
    I find it hard to believe the mirror could have caused that much blood.  
    
    Pretty good theory about stephanie.  I can't wait to see!
    
    doreen

Lisa,

Great update.  I think its' Stephanie too.

I can't believe Grace Phillips (Sarah) is going off the show.  Does anyone
know why???

Thanks

Nancy

    Well, I'm pretty convinced the murderer isn't Julia.  I had thought of
    Stephanie also but I'm still pretty sure it's Alex.  My other thought
    was maybe Charlotte.  She was supposed to be in California at the time
    but maybe she wasn't and was upset with Carlo for marrying Alex.  I
    guess we'll find out today.
    
    Marie

A co-worker of mine has just given me the scoop on today's show. If you
don't want to know who the murderer is (though it might be a screen)
then don't go beyond the form feed.



Stephanie says she did it!!!!

She got caught at Max's trying to go after Addie...she got hurt and is in the
hospital (but ok)...she's telling the whole story....but it sounds too pat....
she says it's 'cuz she heard the tapes and realized how BAD Carlo realy was...
Gannon doesn't buy it...Auntie Alex just rushed in all concerned.

Stephanie's father's name was Joseph James (JJ) Hobart.....sounds like that is
who Carlo killed in the garage.

Looks like Steph is covering for her father....should be interesting to see
how this unfolds.

Patty

    Thanks Patty!  I won't get to watch today's tape and was just dying to
    know....if we do really know.
    
    Marie

    Well, I did get to watch yesterday's show.  From what I saw, I now
    think Stephanie is the killer but she wasn't alone.
    
    Update for Wednesday....
    
    Bo finds the murderer in the closet and pulls her out with a coat over
    her head.  He can't believe it's Stephanie and says "what are you doing
    here honey?"  Daaa...  Addie comes down the stairs and sees Stephanie
    and starts screaming "murder, murder!".  Stephanie took out a gun and
    was going to shoot Addie infront of Bo and Blair but Blair stood
    infront of Addie to block Stephanie from shooting her.  The police bust
    in and ask what going on. They took Stephanie to the hospital for
    medical attention and she finally confessed to Bo and Hank that she
    killed Carlo.  She started reminising about the night she listened to
    the tapes of Carlo killing "Scarecrow".  She said she knew what she had
    to do, kill Carlo because he was rotten.  They don't believe her at
    first and say If she did it there must be some other reason.  Hank said
    something about Steph coming to Llandview after her father died about a
    year and a half ago.  Bo gets a flash and asks Stephanie what her
    fathers name was.  She starts really crying and says Joseph James
    Hobart (or something like that).  Hank and Bo look at eachother and say
    "J.J. (??alias).....Stephanie your father was "Scarecrow"!!!!
    
    Alex invited Tina and Cain over to talk about her "security system". 
    She asked Cain what kind of security system they had for the Cleopatra
    jewels and how hard it would be to break into...because she wants to
    replace her security system.  Uh huh..
    
    Max blew up at Luna for lying to him all this time.  She went over a
    bit later to talk to him and finally convinced him that it wasn't her
    secret to tell...it was up to LeeAnn to tell him.  Max forgave her and
    agreed to take a paternity test to prove Duke is his.  Jason asked
    LeeAnn what last name the baby would have now.  He said Demerest
    Demerest would be kind of wierd.
    
    Marie
    

    how do you (forget the name, sorry!) come to the conclusion that
    stephanie was covering for her father?  do you think he is not dead
    afterall?  this was so surprizing to see.   yes, i was home yesterday
    and got to see it.  thank for the update however.  
    
    i think that alex was in on this somehow too.  how does this fit in
    with her new life?  i think she is going to get off and become the next
    little alex.  i also think its alex who gets her off.  she seems
    genuinly concerned about stephanie.  could she actually have motherly
    feelings for her?
