    • Tuggs, Thanks for posting these. When Starr was playing doll mangler last week, someone said, *at least it wasn't a pet.* and after Starr's comment that Pet's bite BACK I thought it's probably for the best she doesn't have a pet. eom (NT) -- LindaB, 19:06:27 03/16/01 Fri

• Todd's not convincing me! -- Debbie(flolofan), 10:44:09 03/16/01 Fri
  Well I guess it was too much to ask for the turnaround in Todd's character the last few weeks to last...It seemed that Todd had returned and was acting more in character, but after watching the graveyard scenes and the scenes yesterday I am again losing interest quickly. And after yesterday, Todd is not convincing me that he 'really' loves Blair. He had to be kicked in the shins and screamed at by Starr before he went to Blair and 'tried' to tell her that he would fix things. And now we will be treated to 'Tom' playing dress up in a police uniform today....Yipeee
  You know, honostly it would'nt be so hard to watch Todd with Blair if he would act like Todd and convince me that it was really what he wanted. But somehow that is just not happening!!!

  • I hear ya, Debbie- I'm not feeling it, either. I think yesterday took the cake for me. Starr kicked him, taunted him, berated him. And then words I never thought would be directed toward Starr came out of Todd's mouth- 'shut up' and 'get off my back'. Not at all pleasant to me. (NT) -- Nic, 11:40:55 03/16/01 Fri
    • Nic, wow, Todd said that to Starr? Man, VERY glad I missed that episode. Sounds like childish sibling more than loving daddy we witnessed a week ago. But then it sounds like Starr was immitating Blair's shrewish behavior again and I admit that grates on MY nerves quite a bit, too! *VBEG (NT) -- Pilar, 12:23:12 03/16/01 Fri
      • Oh yeah, Pilar - I was watching with my Mum and we were both shocked!! Mouths open and all! lol! Todd totally yelled at Starr - but probably the worst part was that Starr was nonreactive to it. I was absolutely expecting a look of hurt or surprise or something - she only dug her heels in more. And then later Starr pickpocketed Max to get to his credit card. All I could say, is wowwww.... (NT) -- Cabbie Esq, 14:18:14 03/16/01 Fri
        • One note - NOT that I blamed Todd for yelling at her. I know that feeling of aggravation when your little sh*t of a child is demanding something inaccessible - demanding loudly, over and over .... and over ... (LOL ... not that MY children are like that ...) and over .... I'm surprised we didn't see Todd grab her by the scruff of the neck to give her a spanking. Again - yesterday was weird - GT going for laughs.. (NT) -- Cabbie Esq, 14:23:23 03/16/01 Fri
          • Well, Cabbie, only can say the day Todd spanks his child will be one sorry day for this Toddaholic & final proof Todd Manning I loved is long gone! Anyways, I'm not dissappointed Todd yelled at Starr as much as how it sounds he did it, sounds like XMas scenes w/their childish bickering more than daddy & Shorty scene we got last week. Writing has DID, can't make up its mind what Todd will show up from one week to another. (NT) -- Pilar, 14:51:28 03/16/01 Fri
        • The Voice said yesterday that "Todd doesn't have his daughter anymore, he has a new pint-sized nemesis." *sigh* Every second of that hurt yesterday, and for me, it's not funny or entertaining, it's the mishandling of something integral to Todd. IA, Cabbie, total mouth-hanging open experience for me too. (NT) -- m&m, gloomy at the memory of that whole 'bit' yesterday, 15:50:39 03/16/01 Fri
          • What makes this far more painful is T&S had just rebonded last week in an especially heartwarming scene... I'm having whiplash by abrupt character changes from week to week. (NT) -- Pilar, 16:05:23 03/16/01 Fri
            • Pilar, I know GT has only been onboard a short time but this "whiplash" is why I just posted on the main board that so far he hasn't done much of anything that makes me believe he is any different from all other IIC in the biz! (NT) -- jackie, 16:17:02 03/16/01 Fri
            • However, to give Tomlin the "benefit of doubt", perhaps he only scrambled to "cut/change" McT's trash for Feb Sweeps only? and now we're back to the hack's trash, 100%? but who knows... (NT) -- jackie, 16:19:47 03/16/01 Fri
              • From specter scenes thru "Hell No" week thru jailhouse scenes, GT proved an incredibly gifted writer b/c I'm darn sure that was NOT McHack's crap. And it wasn't just Todd being written well that Skye/Adam, Renee/Ben confrontations were riveting stuff. So either GT lost all talent overnight OR more likely his EP duties just did not allow him to continue spending so much time fixing McT's hacked scripts! (NT) -- Pilar, 16:33:43 03/16/01 Fri
                • When Colin's showtime fell flat unlike Todd's I wondered if that wasn't more likely McHack's dreadful scripting vs GT's changes. I've got whiplash not just from Todd's story but how quickly Colin fell back into cartoon villain too, that dreadful Nora as his drugged dolly reeked of McT's love of victimizing poor Nora last summer. I don't think I can judge writing until new HWers' stuff starts to air for May sweeps, that's final judgement day for this long-time viewer, make or break time. (NT) -- Pilar, 16:37:50 03/16/01 Fri
            • IA, Pilar...I've lost a lot of trust and faith in this genre because of those kind of games and inconsistency, and when it comes to favorites, I'm really out of patience with that whole 'back and forth' deal. That's big time damaging to GT's vision, because to swing back tells me that he does know better, and then to reverse tells me he's not strong enough to back that up and promote consistency in that knowledge. I don't want the tease-appease cause the fall after is only worse, IA. (NT) -- m&m of the Crispy variety ;), 16:22:10 03/16/01 Fri
              • ITA, Deb, I find it FAR more annoying b/c GT proved he CAN deliver better material, and we viewers deserve his BEST every day not just for a few weeks to try & salvage sweeps. (NT) -- Pilar, 16:40:47 03/16/01 Fri

• Three generations enjoying a “soapfest”… ROFLMAO at one soap yet NOT quite the one I expected! *VBG -- Pilar, 07:12:38 03/16/01 Fri
  Oh Thursday at Pilar’s house was a first! Finally, three generation all together ready to indulge love of soaps. My mami has been up from Florida for weeks and thanks to our dear Kelly’s generousity here, I had a great L&L memories tape to share with her. My mami is bigger L&L fanatic than I am, and huge GH fan who like me has been sorely dissappointed in show this last year. My niece, Katie, 10, has been excited to watch tape too as she had heard so much about L&L from me and her Abuella!
  
  So yesterday was THE day: Katie had half-day from school. I took afternoon off from work, and bought the soda & popcorn. We watched L&L tape TOGETHER and oh the memories were great to share w/mami! Especially fun was answering Katie’s million questions, trying to remember all the details of the “left handed boy” and “ice princess” adventures!
  
  Anyways, 2:00 pm rolls around & much to my surprise Katie announces she wants US to watch HER soap. WTF? Poor me, clueless that my dear niece has been catching “Passions” after school recently and gotten totally hooked. Now Katie and I share this love of anything to do w/witches from movies to books to reality as we’ve even gone to watch the white wiccans celebrate Halloween here in Salem Mass, so she convinces me that “you HAVE just HAVE to watch Passions for the cool witches.” She guarantees I’ll love it oh yeah right I say but being a “cool auntie” who spoils her niece rotten AND unhappy OLTL camper anyways these days I turn channel… brace myself to grit my teeth through an hour of a soap I’ve long sworn NEVER to watch….
  
  OMG, haven’t a clue if yesterday was typical but the whole parody inside a parody gimmick totally blew me away. I loved the “wicked witch of the west” spoof as Tabitha explained where “water melting a witch” fear came from. Timmy dressed as that hilarious “flying monkey” made us HOWL, tears pouring down our faces we could barely contain ourselves. Put it this way, my dog couldn’t contain herself kept running up and trying to wipe the tears of laughter from our cheeks, we had to fend her off! ROFL!
  
  I admit I didn’t even listen to Katie explain who or what Ethan Crane is or the four friends meeting cause I was still wiping tears of laughter from my eyes and hoping for more Tabitha/Timmy scenes.
  
  Loved how Tabitha’s magic isn’t just quite right so she’s stuck waiting for Hecuba to come back to the lair… meanwhile like in Oz, this witch’s lair comes complete w/viewing glass where Timmy & Tabitha watch some chick Charity & a guy battle to escape hell or whatever that closest leads! LOL! All I know is that it was WORSE case of overacting I’ve ever watched, beats Kassie’s & DV’s stuff by a mile! It felt like a SNL skit, one of those classic parodies within a parody, so darn absurd I was NOT embarrased for actors but howling at blatant silliness of writing/acting.
  
  What a riot ending w/Tabitha watching these bad actors moaning “this is not good.” ICAM, but it was hilarous nonetheless! So mea culpas to James Reilly and Passion viewers, I had NO clue what a RIOT this show was! If I want or need a GOOD laugh in the future from a SOAP I’d rather watch Passions than tune into “keystone cops antics.”
  
  In the end TWO generations even enjoyed the last of our “soapfest” as we turned on GH at 3:00 pm and lo & behold some really good L&L scenes, be still my heart can Fluke be ending?! Poor Katie was bored to tears!
  
  Last night mami and I discussed how my sisters never cared for soaps but our Katie was well on her way to being a lifelong soap fan… of Passions that is…. Before yesterday I would have railed at her choice, but you know sometimes it pays to get a “fresh perspective.”

  • Pilar, sounds like you had a fun afternoon. I remember rushing home from school everyday to not miss Dark Shadows. Talk about camp and bad acting, but it was all the rage back then. So, yep, your niece could be well on her way of soap addiction. BTW, I'm a 'cool aunt' too, but my little niece is 23 this year and getting married, snif, snif. (NT) -- Tuggs, 11:17:46 03/16/01 Fri
    • Oh Tuggs, loved Dark Shadows myself oh Barnabus Collins shivers I loved that storyline especially when they went into the past. But though it was campy & over the top alot I never thought it was MEANT to be funny... while I think Reilly intentionally makes Passions a hoot from the parody I saw! (NT) -- Pilar, 12:30:59 03/16/01 Fri
      • Congrats on your niece's marriage btw. Wow, I really can't imagine my Katie getting married, sniff sniff, I had trouble when she outgrew Disney movies for goodness sakes! Yikes, buying her Blink 182 CD for her B-day took all the "coolness" I could muster! LOL! She's more my surrogate daughter than anything since she spent lots of time w/me in her early years. (NT) -- Pilar, 12:34:46 03/16/01 Fri
        • Yep, my niece is my surrogate daughter too! I'll never forget the day she called me when she was about your Katie's age and said "Guess what Auntie, if Mom & Dad die, you get me!" The kid's a hoot! Or brace yourself for the future, when my niece called me much later telling me the first time she had sex, I was like "Whoa, I'm not ready for this!!" (NT) -- Tuggs, 13:19:44 03/16/01 Fri
          • Oh Tuggs, I got that phone call but it was years ago from my godson since I was to raise him in my best friend's will. Luckily for Katie, her alcoholic dad got his sh!t together & she's NOW got two parents to love & raise her. Now I just spoil her to death as only an auntie can! Heck, now I get to spoil her & her little bro, Daniel Stephen, as much as I want w/out being "responsible" one! *VBG (NT) -- Pilar, 14:35:33 03/16/01 Fri
            • OMG, Tuggs, no I'm NOT ready for Katie & sex. She's already drop dead gorgeous, no bias, she actually had photographer interested in her modeling but sis said no way, thank goodness. Katie has hazel green eyes w/long think dark eyelashes & beautiful blond hair, my bro-in-law says he might need a gun to beat off the boys! LOL! (NT) -- Pilar, 14:39:52 03/16/01 Fri
      • Remember Quentin's theme? I also remember that actor was the hunk of the day. I loved the suspence you felt, you really were on the edge to find out what would happen the next day, it was great fun. (NT) -- Tuggs, 13:04:24 03/16/01 Fri
        • "Remember Quentin's theme?" Sure do! Remember the moors & the sound of the waves crashing into the cliffs at the beginning? I loved Angelique & that entire mystery of how she turned Barnabus into a vamp... I can still remember last episode in that basement w/bats flying. ICAM,Tuggs, every day was a cliffhanger, and next to GH's L&L on the run, caused me most nail biting! :-) (NT) -- Pilar, 13:14:14 03/16/01 Fri
          • Years later I'm still hooked on vampire shows like Buffy & Angel. :-) (NT) -- Pilar, 13:16:38 03/16/01 Fri
            • You know a woman at work has been trying to get me to watch Buffy. She says the character of Spike (his humor) reminds her of Todd. Maybe I ought to give it a try. (NT) -- Tuggs, 13:46:31 03/16/01 Fri
              • Spike is definitely a lot like Todd, intense, exciting, great sense of humor, and he always knows who's sleeping with who just like Todd does. They're a lot alike, but one big difference, Spike has very hot sex scenes:) (NT) -- Elisa, 14:57:47 03/16/01 Fri
                • Hot sex scenes huh? And WHY couldn't Roger get this role, hmmmmm??!! LOL, Elisa I think you just convinced me! (NT) -- Tuggs, 15:42:43 03/16/01 Fri
            • Wow,Pilar!!! You and I are "simpatico"!!! I loved Dark Shadows as a kid--it contributed to a life-long obsession with the whole Vampire genre to this day. I like "Buffy", but find the writing too juvenile [Angel is only slightly better]. Do you like Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles??? I have always pictured Roger Howarth as the Vampire Lestat!!! (NT) -- TROG42, 14:04:55 03/16/01 Fri
              • Hi Trog42, would you settle for half "simpatico?" LOL! Sure, sometimes Buffy is juvenile writing especially last year w/Riley crap but I found the early years dealing w/Angel, the curse & slayer vs vamp legends quite riveting. Angel last year was trash IMO but suddenly took on a dark flavor w/the role he has to play in next big Apocalyspe & that burning Dru & Darla alive bit was VERY Angelus like, dark & twisted coolness he had. (NT) -- Pilar, 14:27:27 03/16/01 Fri
                • Buffy THIS season has been anything but juvenile, IMO, JW has matured the themes & revisited what exactly is a SLAYER w/Spike providing some thought-provoking insights. As for Anne Rice, here we part company I don't really care much for her twisting of vampire legends. And I preferred tortured Louis for Roger actually! Go figure, :-) (NT) -- Pilar, 14:31:31 03/16/01 Fri
                  • I had almost given up on "Buffy" last year with Spike being de-vamped, standing around feeling sorry for himself, and the whole Initiative thing, but I was very pleasantly surprised with this year. Spike's been much much better, and Buffy's got her inner strength back that she seemed to be missing last year. I keep trying to read Anne Rice, but I always get bored with all the background description and give up before it gets around to any action. Just don't have that much patience anymore. (NT) -- Elisa, 15:46:08 03/16/01 Fri
  • Pilar.... I told ya, that's WHY I LOVE Passions! That show makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD every day! And I LOVE that! It's such a refreshing change of pace! (NT) -- jackie, 13:43:07 03/16/01 Fri
    • Jackie, I didn't pay a bit of attention to the "traditional soap stuff" in between the Timmy/Tabby/Hecuba parody stuff, it's the parody that made me entertained ME had us ROFL. I gotta ask Katie tonight if Charity gave it up to get out of hell and what happened to Timmy/Tabby next unless you want to share? *VBG (NT) -- Pilar, 14:45:38 03/16/01 Fri
      • LOL Pilar! I will "share" as soon as I watch today's tape! But Katie probably watches "live" huh? So you may get a quicker answer from her (g)! (NT) -- jackie, 14:55:13 03/16/01 Fri
        • Katie has 1/2 days all week so yep she gets to watch. But usually she can only catch last half of Passions after she gets picked up from school. Next lesson, teach the kid how to program her VCR to tape her soap! ;-) (NT) -- Pilar, 15:11:13 03/16/01 Fri

• Just an FYI re: The National Enquirer "spoiler"...WAS NOT in MY issue (g) -- Jules, 09:50:25 03/16/01 Fri
  Just wanted to let folks here know that I saw the National Enquirer for next week saying that "yadda, yadda, and Blair learns she is pregnant" IS NOT in next week's National Enquirer. In fact, the yadda, yadda part is not even in there.(g) It is not in the previews section for soaps. So please, as always, take what you read on the 'net with a big grain of salt. Lotta posers & fake spoilers running around it seems. WHATEVER. I am just thankful to the magazine guy for letting me stand there and read through the mag without having to buy the rag. :) Onward...

    • The question is, WHO made it up? If you take a peek over at TT you'll see that the majority of the T/B fans over there DON'T want Blair pregnant again. I don't get the motive behind this one. (NT) -- Todd War Survivor, 13:20:57 03/16/01 Fri

        • Exactly Tuggs! (NT) -- jackie, 13:57:07 03/16/01 Fri
      • No matter what THEY want, the "motive" is the same as it has always been with the trash they post on TnT boards... aka to try to "freak" TnTers. Too bad for them TnTers didn't give a flip whether the B was/is preggers or not! (NT) -- jackie, 13:55:58 03/16/01 Fri

• Rumours From RATSA -- Apricot, 20:19:15 03/15/01 Thu
  I didn't write this; this was at a message board. Hence the quotes.
  
  "First things first: Kale Browne was let go for one very simple reason. There
  was a certain suit who did not like him on a personal level. Kale should have
  known (and prob did) he was a goner the minute that Jill Phelps headed west.
  The resentment that certain actors felt towards Kale because if his inordinate
  amount of airtime when he joined OL had little or nothing to do with his
  dismissal. Simple as that.
  
  "Tomlin has his favorites on OL and who they are will become VERY apparent in
  the coming months. He is extremely fond of many of the characters that were
  first introduced in the early/mid 1990's...such as Todd, Nora, RJ, and Blair.
  He absolutely adores Hillary Smith and Roger Howarth, so expect to see a lot of
  them on your screens.
  
  "He has no plans to reunite Sam and Nora. Lau (the new Sam Rappaport) is being
  brought on for a 30-40 something beauty who is currently in the midst of
  romantic woes. There are only a couple of choices on that one-figure it out.
  
  "Tomlin has indeed spoken with Florencia Lozano about bringing back the
  character of Tea Delgado. Lozano is extremely gun shy about a return, though;
  she wasn't especially happy about her last year or so at OL and wants to know
  what would be in store for her storyline-wise. He's been speaking with Chris
  and Lorraine on storyline ideas for Tea. If the talks work out, expect to see
  Tea back in Llanview come November, and expect to see some of her family join
  the canvas as well as Tomlin very much wants to reintroduce some ethnicity to
  the show.
  
  "Tomlin, as of right now, is going with the Todd and Blair pairing and expect
  to see them in each other's story and working things out for the next few
  months. If Lozano returns, I have no idea how that will impact Todd/Blair.
  Sorry.
  
  "Tim Gibbs' mouth got him into trouble with that comment about being ready to
  move on. A certain suit who didn't care for Gibbs to begin with decided to take
  him up on his offer (this happens to be the same suit who care for Browne and
  said suit also doesn't care for Jill Phelps, either, but he can't do anything
  about that last one).
  
  "Tomlin is considering a Bo and Nora reunion (he really liked these two and
  directed many of their episodes when he was a director as OL), but is meeting
  with some resistance on that one from actors and suits alike. He does have the
  power to overide the actors and the suits would more than likley let him go
  ahead with this pairing. It's just a matter of if he feels the audience still
  cares enough about these two.
  
  "Chamarro is definitely outta here. The reason for Sophia's exit will come as a
  surpise.
  
  "There's also about an 80% that Darlene Vogel will be leaving in May. She
  hasn't caught on with the audience. If she fails to pull through during her
  upcoming storyline material, she's a goner.
  
  "Tomlin and the writers do read the mail. Your letters do count with this
  regime. So, if there's somthing you want to see (or not to see) I suggest
  dropping a line."
  
  ...So far it all sounds decent to me except the bit about Sophia. Really hope
  she's not a goner.

  • Apricot, thanks. I think this is an excellent time for FL fans to be writing Tomlin, expressing a desire for her character to have storylines that would not be tied exclusively to RH/Todd b/c of how this actor tends to come and go. Secondly could it be that Sophia will turn up as Colin's killer? I heard that she had threatened him once, correct? If so, THAT could be the "surprise" exit. Maybe he tries to rape Sophia and she kills him? (NT) -- jackie, 20:49:08 03/15/01 Thu
  • Thanks for bringing this over, Apricot. Sounds good to me, too, with the same exception as you. And, I especially like the FL tidbit, although I think if she does return it's gonna be a lot sooner than Nov. Seems highly unlikely to me that she'd be gunshy about returning, but would commit herself to something that's 8 months away. We'll see, I suppose! (NT) -- Nic, 20:50:58 03/15/01 Thu
  • Who originally wrote this? Someone reliable, or at least known to us? I hate to say it, but it sounds like a bunch of internet rumors strung together. And who wants to wait till next November anyway! (NT) -- TNTLurker, 20:51:22 03/15/01 Thu
    • What does it matter "who" wrote it or whether or not the person is known to us? Cuz, even when the person IS known to us (Pilar comes to mind), their info is treated very skeptically also... so imo, doesn't matter whether we know this person or not. Either an individual believes it or they don't, no matter WHO it is.. (NT) -- jackie, 21:14:24 03/15/01 Thu
      • As for "waiting til Nov", I might would have that pov IF I was one who is still tuned into this cr@ppy show/Todd's little BnT horrid storyline. But since I'm NOT, then rather than "waiting", I have decided I'll just have to "come back" for it (if it happens) in Nov or WHENEVER! Big difference, imo.. (NT) -- jackie, 21:18:33 03/15/01 Thu
        • ITA, Jackie, all rumors should be treated "skeptically!" Personally, I think too much is up in the air at OLTL and GH right now to be confident what are rumors vs straight sh!t. (NT) -- Pilar, 05:25:28 03/16/01 Fri
  • Thanks Apricot. Interesting...again with all these rumors! (g) Well, again, I am learning to take anything read on the 'net with a grain of salt but I do think I agree with Nic in that a FL/Téa return would probably be sooner, IMO. I mean, November? Well, if it's letters and opinions they want, I will continue to write for FL/Téa Delgado and have a great story for her in addition to my TnT. :) Yup, we'll see. (NT) -- Jules, 21:16:57 03/15/01 Thu
  • Beam me up Scotty! This is a TNT board right? LOL IA that this is a great time to be writing to Tomlin to let him know that we want nothing more than a return of the TNT magic. No substitutions will do! There is only one Todd for Tea, one Tea for Todd and One Life for THEM to live *G*! I plan on writing for them to return her to him ASAP! -- Carol, 21:18:31 03/15/01 Thu
    • Well, I want FL's Téa back on the canvas and I don't necessarily need or want that to be contingent upon RH's comings and goings... TIIC should ALSO be given the motivation to develop FL's character (as they should have done all along) and write stories that would make the character viable AND valuable to the show, with or without Todd, no matter what kind of board this is....jMYo. (NT) -- jackie, 21:26:21 03/15/01 Thu
  • Thanks Apricot, I love the FL stuff, and what do you know I just mailed off a 2pg letter to GT filled with storyline ideas for Tea without Todd. I would love a reunion eventually, but I would love Tea back more right now. And the part about adding family members is great, I also suggested that in my letter!LOL (NT) -- Debbie(flolofan), 22:06:02 03/15/01 Thu
  • It is actually a post originally on MediaDomain, by someone named Cherry. There are the usual pro- and con- responses from other posters. I just loved the FL part .....eom. (NT) -- Apricot, 22:35:18 03/15/01 Thu
    • Ditto Apricot...the hope of that part coming true is 'nice to look at and to think about'... either way it always stands that I hope to see that return come true, and I love the thought of in-depth story for her character, and maybe some family too. Del captured me in his short stint, so that's another cool thing to play the 'what if' game in my thoughts...I'd love to see her return, great story, and more connections this time. Anyway, thanks! :) (NT) -- m&m, 00:11:30 03/16/01 Fri
  • Hi Apricot, thanks sharing this post. My .02 cents, 1) Weird that suit referred to is "HE" when I'd say it's a SHE, as in FMB, who doesn't care for FOJs nor JFP. SHE brought in LB as co-HW when GT just wanted CW. 2) Sort of weird reaction on FL news, "gunshy" was word used HERE first to describe FL feelings about return. Also, Nov timeframe makes very little sense to me, based on Roger news, strike & FL career move. 3) Where's Dorian news? GT's wants Dorian back by end of May sweeps. (NT) -- Pilar, 05:35:52 03/16/01 Fri
    • JMHO, the shoot the messenger routine has gotten old for me at least. (NT) -- Pilar, 05:45:41 03/16/01 Fri
    • My back kinda goes up at your #2, too, Pilar. Perhaps the writers are thinking in advance due to spoilers, but who's to say FL would be interested and would commit to something so far down the line if she's gunshy to begin with??? Given the strike, she's gonna take work when/where she can get it, not wait nearly a year. (NT) -- Nic, 11:44:15 03/16/01 Fri
      • Well, Nic, November is 7 months towards END of that Bible HWers are penning now so it just does NOT make a lick of sense to me especially given that I'm pretty sure Roger hasn't committed past Sept. Really have never heard that far ahead casting myself... (NT) -- Pilar, 12:50:51 03/16/01 Fri

  • I was surprised that MB got shut out, I thought his work on Carly's losing their baby was outstanding. (NT) -- Tuggs, 11:48:46 03/14/01 Wed
  • Wow! Not surprised about OLTL being shut out, but I am about GH- there was some amazing work this year. Particularly with MB and SB. And, petty as it may sound, even though some of the actors may have done some good work on OLTL, I'm glad the show was shut out of the big categories- proves a point. (NT) -- Nic, 11:59:55 03/14/01 Wed
  • MB wasn't shut out. Maurice declined to put his name in. He didn't think he had two good episodes. And ER (Bianca) *was* nominated, at least according to the list I saw on Soapzone. And so were JD (Leo) and RB (Greenlee)--cool! And I just started watching ATWT again (it was my FIRST soap from like 20 years ago!) and it was awesome! I love SB and think she always does wonderful work, but I am not sure that MB and SB bring out the best in each other, acting wise. (NT) -- Monica, 12:51:52 03/14/01 Wed
    • Monica.... thanks for the news about ER, she certainly deserves that nomination, moreso than Lucci does imo! ER is a VERY talented young actress who has carried her storyline extremely well! (NT) -- jackie, 13:11:33 03/14/01 Wed
      • You know, I dont watch AMC on any regular basis, but I did catch some of the Bianca storyline and she was wonderful, far better than SL. Then again, I've never gotten the appeal, or what the fuss over SL was all about, LOL. (NT) -- Nic, 13:24:48 03/14/01 Wed
    • Thanks Monica, personally I love MB's work and I could have helped him pick out several episodes. The bits I've read, like any backstage politics, sounds like daytime emmy's nomination process are a bit screwy. From what I understand an actor or a producer can submit episodes for consideration. But if an actor does not submit, can a producer override that actor and send in the 2 episodes for consideration if the actor doesn't want it? (NT) -- Tuggs, 13:37:01 03/14/01 Wed
      • I'm not sure about the answer to this question, Tuggs. Maybe EPs CAN "override" but I would think in most cases they would respect an actor's personal wishes... my question is WHY didn't MB want his name on the ballot this year?! (NT) -- jackie, 17:55:12 03/14/01 Wed
  • Wow! I was hoping ATWT would do well in nominations this year, but considering all the "politicking" that sometimes goes on with this stuff, I wasn't so sure they would get their just-deserved kudos! I'm thrilled to see that they DID! Martha Byrne is doing an EXCELLENT job playing dual roles, so happy she was recognized for it, along with all the other actors on this wonderful soap! Mucho "kudos" to my fave show, the actors AND their fabulous new writer! (NT) -- jackie, 13:07:57 03/14/01 Wed
    • I've been TRYING to watch ATWT for years. There was one episode that had me relax my remote finger, Lucinda and Iva finding out about the babies. 2:00 hr I have GH, GL, ATWT, and Passions, the GL held my attention the whole hour Friday, a first in a long time. Jackie this is great news!! TIIC will see that NEW MEAT don't stink!!!!! -- jane, 13:25:59 03/14/01 Wed
      • jane.... yeah, imo GL ain't too shabby right now either! Of course, I love almost anything the Labines write! To me, both P&G soaps are doing well and ICAM, let's hope ATWT's wracking up in Emmy nominations this year will BUY the rest of the industry a freakin' CLUE! (NT) -- jackie, 17:46:59 03/14/01 Wed
  • Pilar, it's a shame that the actors got shut out because of the crappy writing. OLTL and GH both have an excellent cast, but who's been running things for the past few years?...IA about SB, she so deserved a nomination, and I would have cheered from the rooftop had she won. She did some fantastic work with MB last year. Many of her scenes involving the miscarriage come to mind. (NT) -- Megan, 18:50:25 03/14/01 Wed
    • Monica, sorry I saw short list of Emmy Nods & forgot younger actress category, I caught a little LesBianca story & felt ER deserved a nod// Megan, ICAM SB was robbed but then I heard she submitted first time in Lead Actress category so maybe it's age that failed her more than anything there? As for crappy writing that's how I felt for Roger in 98, Spam's fiasco ruined his chances. (NT) -- Pilar, 09:53:47 03/16/01 Fri

• Todd related spoilers from TV Guide Online -- Scooper, 09:02:46 03/16/01 Fri
  Blair refuses to forgive Todd.
  
  Todd and Blair reminisce about the past. (Is it too much to hope that they might actually talk about TEA?)
  
  Todd goes to extremes to get Blair off the hook.
