ah, these were the days...

[Bright Eyes]

Man, I wish you had a site that contained all these synopses and the great interviews you've done.

[FrenchFan]

Thanks Amello. I'm not good enough at computers to create a website but I appreciate a lot your comments.

[LoyaltoAMC]

Thanks so much for the walk down memory lane. God, I was such an AMC fanatic at that time. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED that era of the show. Jorn Winther had just returned as EP replacing Jackie Babbin, and the show, which became kind of juvenile under her, suddenly became adult and intelligent again. Jorn promoted Lorraine as co-HW alongside Wisner. Alas, ratings never improved during his tenure, and he would be canned five months later. Great stuff!

[Bright Eyes]

Hmm, not to be pushy, but you should look in to Zetaboards. It's free and all you have to do is register LOL

Personally, I selfishly just want all those OLTL synopses you've managed to collect. Unfortunately, the archives at SON don't go back very far so i can't retrieve them myself.

[FrenchFan]

You're not pushy. It's indeed one of my objectives for this summer when I have time. You can still send me an email at [email protected] and I can send you some archive I have.

[Michael]

Thanks for posting these! I love reading the Days and ATWT ones in particular.

(Another idea for archiving them online would be to start a Blogger or Wordpress blog. Literally all you've have to do would be paste the content into the field and hit "post.")

Yet, not one mention of this was made years later when Erica suffered another horrible accident and feared yet again she would be scarred permanently. Not. One.

[Khan]

Changed, how? Was she gone long enough to have a baby? (Please say yes.)

[FrenchFan]

I thought about it but in one month or two, it would be very weird

[DRW50]

Owney. Miss Spitz. Zophie. That reminds me of Cabaret, when the Jewish girl confided in Sally that her gigolo boyfriend had "taken her...on the library room zofa."

A hell of a lot of people were leaving GL at this time.

Everything I've seen about Matt on AMC, he seemed like a dud character.

AW - Reginald, never a fan of his. This was the start of that prostitute story that drove poor MJ off for good. Was the Brittany stuff as bad as I've heard? I used to hear people talk about how awful she and the story were.

[You're Soaking in it]

No. (Sorry! )

The baby you might be thinking of did occur more recently, during an off-screen Tad / Hillary hook-up, revealed in today's episode.
