You know, as much as it annoys me (and BOY does it annoy me) that Guza
tends to turn GH into "The Cassadine and Spencer Show" I must confess, that
the reprocussions from Lizzie's story are making for some incredible grist
for the mill around there.

I've been waiting for YEARS for them to stop making Robin the local patron
saint, but turning her into a preachy, sanctimonious snot was not what I
had in mind, either.  I hope whatever this means is better than the past
few weeks have been when it comes to Robin.

I totally agree!

Robert and Anna were my absolute favorite characters on GH.  I loved them.
That whole storyline where Anna was kidnapped by that Grant Putnam guy was
one of my favorites!

And that whole storyline where they kinda realized they still liked each
other, and then got back together was great.

I miss them so much.  Why don't they come back and make me happy? <g>

Subject: GH/PC: GH

please, please, please tell me that TPTB are not putting Robin together
w/Nikolas! It certainly would stir up the ol' Spencer/Cassadine story,
but c'mon now. No way did I ever buy Tyler being the 17 yr. old Nikolas,
now he's gonna be the "younger" guy to Robin. I must say though, if this
story would give Robin some back bone, fire away guys. This Lucky/Liz
pairing is the best couple in such a long time. Isn't it funny that they
are the L&L of the 90's, when the L&L of the 80's was in fact Luke &
Laura...Lucky's parents? Seemed a little funny!

they did it with Lily's death.  We had some idea what was going on,
but it never hit the newstands that LM was leaving the show until
after  it happened.  I hope that Genie is going to surprise us.

I don't know about that.....I would have doing a dance if I had known
in advance that Lily was leaving the show.  (before I realized how
her death was going to come about)  the fans felt very strongly about
her and the whole J/B/S/L storyline, so I wouldn't put it past them
to do it again with Genie knowing how much everyone wants her back.

I'm hoping along with everyone else that perhaps, Genie is on her way
back. Also, has anyone ever noticed, when a character is coming back,
hints are dropped, like mentioning them more than before...Nikolas'
letter, Lucky, Luke & Bobby mentioning her name...then the
kicker....usually showing pictures! Did anyone catch the scanning of the
pictures on the refrigerator @the Spencer house? Then again...Lily's
death was a shocker!

we'd have to have been blind to miss it--they certainly did it enough!
(did anybody else find it odd that they would have such OLD pictures on
their refrigerator???  one of those luke & laura pics was positively
ANCIENT!)  but yeah...it definitely seems possible that they're hinting.
i hope...

on the other hand, it would be pretty impossible to do this storyline
without at least MENTIONING laura!  (and EQUALLY dumb to do it without
her there, if you ask me...we all know she has to come back EVENTUALLY,
being under contract and all.  so wouldn't you think they would have
waited?  which also gives me some hope that she'll be heading back
soon.)  oh well, we shall see...

The point about seeing the pix is, 1st of all w/Laura, I don't think
they'd be crazy enough to even imagine recasting Genie, Bob Guza has
said in interviews he'd do "anything" to get her to come back. And
regarding the contract issue, people have been released from their
contracts early for many reasons. (Melissa Reeves-Days of Our Lives is
an interesting candidate here!) I agree, I can't even believe that GH
would go full steam ahead w/this storyline w/out Laura front & center.
There's going to be the most important point of view missing from this
story, the victim, being Laura (but how many victims end up marrying the
rapist, really???). This could make things more viotile being Luke &
Lucky & that may just be where all the storyline lies!

That was hysterical. Yeah, and where were any of the bodyguards when
this happened? The best was Carly looking under the sofa!....Also, how

Both Taiyin and I missed Friday's GH, so I'd be glad if someone filled me
in on the exact details?  Didn't Carly have a bodyguard with her, or do
they only protect her when she's in the penthouse.  I realize that for
Michael to get snatched there couldn't have been a guard there <g>, but I'm
fuzzy on the mechanics of being a mobster's moll ;)

As for "How stupid...."  Granted, it probably wasn't the wisest thing in
the world that Carly's ever done.  But if you're in a public place in which
you are well known, it's not that unlikely that you would rather leave the
kid in his stroller, content, than carry him with you to answer the phone a
few feet away.  In normal circumstances, you would probably expect the kid
to be fine.

Of course, Taiyin and I both missed Monday's GH as well <grrrr>, but I
caught today's, and was very impressed.

Carly didn't have a bodyguard with her.  When she was told she had a phone
call went to the desk and left the stroller behind.  I know it's only a
soap, BUT she could have taken the stroller with her.  When she started
looking for the baby, the first place she looked was under the sofa, as if
he got out and crawled under it.  I still don't know why she called Bobbi.
She said she was the first person she thought of.  Thats kind of hard to
understand. Then Bobbie turned to her and reamed her out for not being more
carefully with the baby, and was real rude to Carly.  I guess it wouldn't

How cool was it to see Scotty Baldwin actually back on GH? Bob Guza is
using all the people he can, since Genie isn't there, to give the full
info on the Laura rape story! How about Lucky just strolling into the
records room & accessing the computer? Doesn't anyone work there?

Next Week in TV Guide
In next weeks issue of TV Guide, Michael Logan interviews Brad Maule! In the
article he reveals that not only is Tony behind the Baby Michael kidnapping,
but he will be kidnapping Robin too! You can read about it at TV Guide
Online. That article is located at:
http://www.tvgen.com/tv/magazine/980309/soaps.htm


Crossovers
Michael Dietz (Joe Scanlon) is the doctor on call on March 31 when Robin is
brought in for non-AIDS-related pneumonia... Susan Brown (Gail Baldwin)
shows up as the head of a group for rape victims on April 1...

Headwriter Bob Guza shares his thoughts on the possibility of recasting the
part of Laura Spencer, should Genie Francis decide not to return.

Rex goes bye bye
Wayne Northrop's stint as PC's Resident Evil, Rex Stanton, has come to an
end- for now. Rex's parting shots will be on March 10th. But a return for
Rex is definately in PC's future story plans, but not for a while.

Taggert's Home
Real Andrews is back in full force as Taggert, and this time it's for good.
With Soldiers Of Fortune, Inc. canceled- GH offered Andrews a contract and a
bigger role on the show (including a triangle with Justus and Dara).

Subject: GH/PC: kidnapped babies and emerald rings

my goodness we've been quiet lately...

two things.  first of all, regarding gh--i don't get this whole vow of
secrecy about the kidnapping thing.  it makes no sense to me.  "go on
acting as normal and don't say anything to everyone"...and, WHAT...
the kidnapper will think, "oh gee, maybe they didn't NOTICE their baby
was gone?!?"  if the point here is to not spook the kidnapper, it just
doesn't make much sense to me.  OBVIOUSLY the kidnapper knows the baby
is missing, and knows THEY know the baby is missing, and knows they're
not going to just say "oh well, michael's gone.  pass the salt please."
so who exactly are they fooling here?

secondly, about pc...WHAT ON EARTH IS LUCY THINKING???  i can understand
this whole staying-married-to-rex-to-bleed-him-dry thing.  but wanting
to keep that emerald ring???  how COULD she?  if i were kevin i would
NOT be happy about that.  and if i were lucy, i wouldn't even WANT it.
i don't care how gorgeous or expensive it is, it would still be a
reminder of HIM.  yuck.

that's all for now.

julie

p.s.  i lied--one more thing.  even I'M getting curious about those
apples now...taiyin, i hope you get to the bottom of this on your set
visit!!!

I thoroughly agree w/that! And sorry, the cat's outta the bag that it's
going to be Tony who took Michael. Jason's the head of this s'posedly
huge organization & a doctor can just take a baby and hide him from
them??? It is giving some depth to the story though. Like what else can
surprise Bobbi these days, 1st Carly being her daughter, Luke knowing &
the fact that her ex-husband left her for her daughter.....throw in that
Tony kidnapped her grandson!!! I have to say though, Jackie Zeman is
putting in some stellar performances! And I almost...almost I said..feel
sorry for Carly these days! And wasn't the performance by Real Andrews'
Taggart an applause winner! I'm glad TPTB are giving him some material
to work with. Now, if only Sonny was there for him to play off of! I'm a
dreamer, I admit it!!!

the February sweeps stories??

For the most part I think the show's been moving along. There's always
days where the storyline has to be laid out to build up. Take the
Michael kidnapping storyline. There's so many wholes in that story right
now, but I'm sure it'll pan out with so much more later one, especially
w/Tony....Isn't Brad Maule doing some great acting these days? Could
have done w/out the shaving of his head though? (what were they thinking
w/that one???) And who's not waiting for Tony Geary to get some material
to react to??? I can't wait for that one either!!!

From: Taiyin and Cagey <[e-mail]>
Subject: GH/PC:  Set Tour

Well, it's only taken a few days to recover, but Cagey and I are here in
LA, dying of the heat, and I am still a seriously happy camper over the set
tour.

So, details (spoilers at the very end)...

Well, we went on Tuesday morning, we needed to be there at 9:15 a.m.
because Jon and Lynn were both supposed to be taping around 9:00.  Of
course I was awake and staring at the ceiling at about 5:00 a.m., so we
were a bit early.

We finally found the right gate and made our way to the studio.  We got
pictures of ourselves in front of the Emergency sign that they use on the
oudoor set, which is actually the main enterance to the building.

The girl who was taking us around led us out of the GH building and to the
PC one.  We slipped onto the set and made our way to the back, where we sat
(and where I shamelessly drooled) and we watched Jon and Lynn shoot three
of their four scenes.  The crew was all very sweet; some of the guys gave
up their chairs so we wouldn't have to stand, and everyone kept offering to
get us something to drink.

Sunny (the girl who was giving us the tour) seemed to think we were bored
with the shooting process.  HA!  They were having some technical problems,
and you could tell (especially from Lynn) that things were not running as
smoothly as they usually did.

And right about here I have to break and say that Anne and Razz were 100%
dead on with their report:  Lynn Herring is beyond beautiful.  WAY beyond.
She was gorgeous.  Best of all, though, she was gracious and very sweet and
funny and friendly.

So we watched them work and in the middle of it Lisa Ann Hanley, who plays
Julie, showed up and was talking and joking around with the crew while they
were blocking and rehersing for K&L's scenes.  Sunny brought her over to
meet us.  She was also very sweet and said that she just got online about
four months ago, and is enjoying it, but hasn't got it all figured out yet.
 She was very cute and animated, and DAMN, that girl is tiny.

After the third item Sunny went and got Jon and Lynn, because our clock was
ticking down, and, after all, we were there to meet them.  She brought them
over and both of them were seriously cool.  We told them that we ran a
Kevin & Lucy list, and Lynn, who doesn't have internet conncetivity at all,
wanted to know what exactly that meant.  Jon asked if it was like a newsgroup.

Jon, BTW, looked sensational also (big shock there).  He was wearing a
gorgeous, slightly billowy, off-white shirt -- almost a poets shirt, dark
charcoal grey pants and a VERY nice dark burgendy blazer.

So we talked for a few minutes, but they had to get back to work and we had
some more stuff to see, so we said good-bye and Sunny took us upstairs to
see who else we could find.  We went into the make-up room and Julie Pinson
and Lisa Ann were there.

About that time it occured to me that I forgot to ask Jon and Lynn WHAT the
hell is up with Kin and those apples, so I figured Julie would be the next
best person to ask.  She said that Kin just wanted something that he could
turn into an on-running joke, and he did eat apples all the time.  It
didn't start out of anything other than Kin's desire for a little amusment.
;-)

So Cagey pulled the apples out of her bag that we bought to give Kin (who
didn't end up coming in until after we left).  I pulled out the green one
and handed it to Julie and said:  "Here.  Give this to Kin -- just for a
little variety."

She laughed and said that they JUST shot an ep where he ate a green apple,
but that she'd give it to him for us.

And Lisa Ann asked whose birthday it was.  I'm still not sure where that
question came from, because *I* never said it was my birthday, and for all
I know she was speaking to someone else entirely, but I said that mine was
last week, and she was just really sweet and sincere.  (Cagey says:  I told
them it was Taiyin's birthday <g>)

So Sunny took us upstairs to the dressing rooms, but most of them were
empty.  The only person up there was Michael Deitz.  That boy looks AWESOME
in his glasses.  Simply awesome.  But even cooler was the five and a half
month old puppy he had bounding out the door as soon as he opened it.  She
was SO cute, I only wish I remembered her name.

Of course, I chose that moment to have foot-in-mouth disease.  The phrase,
"Oh!  Even the actors aren't as cute as the puppy!" popped out of my mouth.
 Thankfully Cagey smacked me in the arm, because that was NOT what I meant
to say (just shoot me.  I've had puppy fever lately and she was ADORABLE).

Sunny then took us downstairs again, and on our way back downstairs we ran
into Nolan North (Chris) and Rib Hillis (Jake) downstairs.  They were so
funny.  Rib hadn't heard them call his scene, and as Rib went tearing to
the set, Sunny commented to Nolan something along the lines of "Sorry we
stole your playmate."  Nolan looked at us and said, "We run around here
like a couple of kids."

But at various times several people put Sunny on the spot a bit and asked
us if we were going to get to see the GH set, too. (Cagey says:  I will be
eternally grateful to Lisa Ann--she was the first who asked, and she made
it sound ludicrous that we *wouldn't* see the GH set, and Sunny felt
obliged.  Thank you Lisa Ann!!)

Anyway, we headed back to the PC set, because Jon and Lynn were wrapping
up.  We were WAY off to the side, but Lynn saw us and waved frantically.
As they wrapped and went to leave, they said good-bye again, and I
shanghaied them for a picture.  We got two shots of all four us of.  Jon,
me, Cagey, and Lynn all in a line, and then when Sunny asked if we wanted a
second one just in case, Lynn said, "Switch!" and she and Jon switched
places on either end of the line.

We didn't get to talk much, but I did <ahem> manage to ask Jon how long he
planned to keep the beard. <g>  He said, "Until I get tired of it."  And he
didn't sound as though it would be ANYTIME real soon.  He said that he had
to shave it Wednesday night after work for something, but that he'd be
growing it back over the weekend (he and Lynn only worked Monday -
Wednesday this week). (Cagey says:  I think Taiyin is just gullible <g>)
Lynn asked if my question about his beard was a complaint and I almost
tripped over my tongue saying no, certainly NOT a complaint.  (Cagey says:
She nobly refrained from comment! Bwahaha!)

So Jon and Lynn had to go -- Jon is doing a crossover to GH, and he was
being ushered off to John York's dressing room (after a bit of humorous
commentary on the fact that he still has his OWN dressing room over there
"with his name on it and everything").  So Sunny took us down the set a bit
to see the next scene they were shooting.

Jake, Frank and Lark were in it together, but we didn't get to watch for
long, because we were on the clock and hitting our time limit.  (Cagey
says:  We didn't get to meet Jay Pickett, but he looks just as intense in
real life as he does onscreen.)  So on our way back to the offices (to give
Sunny our addresses so she could send us autographed copies of the script
and pictures) we swung through the GH set.  Since we weren't cleared ahead
of time to be there, though, we mostly just walked through -- we saw a few
sets, Cassadines in particular.  One of them, though, was one we haven't
seen before.  We couldn't tell whose it was supposed to be and Sunny didn't
know, either.

When we got there, though, they were shooting a scene with Jonathon Jackson
(couldn't see who, if anyone, else was in the scene), and Sunny ushered us
out because it was "top secret" and we weren't supposed to see it.

She took us through the halls of GH dressing rooms and we ran smack into
Jon coming out of John York's dressing room, heading towards the set.  He
was wearing a very nice dark suit. :-)

She checked the schedule and though there were lots of people on it, the
building was pretty deserted.  She went to Billy Warlock's dressing room to
find him and found Real  Andrews (Taggart) instead.  So he came out and
talked to us.  He was SUCH a ham.  Cracked me up.  He asked us all kinds of
questions, including what we thought of Taggart.  I said that I liked
Taggart except when he was sexually harrassing Dara.  He got this sort of
crooked smirk on his face and said, "Sexually harrassing?  But she's the
ADA, if anyone can smack him down it would be her."  At which point I
clarified what I meant:  What I don't like is that she lets him get away
with it.

He grinned and said, "Yeah, she shoulda smacked me a couple of times, huh?"

Then he talked about the SOD Awards and how much fun they were.  He told us
about a billboard that he and a few other soap guys had (supposedly on
Santa Monica Blvd.).  We've been up and down that road about 20 times this
week and have yet to spot it, though.  We got a picture with him (Cagey
says:  Real has animal magnetism by the barrell-full.  Mrrooowr) and then
he told Sunny why we couldn't find any of the people who were on the
schedule:  they were all on the schedule because they were updating the
credits, so they all came in, were there for fifteen minutes, and then left.

We said good-bye to him, and headed out.  Sunny tried one more time to find
some more people around for us to meet, so Cagey and I waited in the hall,
at which point Cagey pointed out a poster that I SOMEHOW managed to miss:
Kevin and Lucy in a bathtub, fully clothed (or as "fully clothed" as they
EVER dress Lynn, anyway), with Sigmund sitting on the edge.  But the
coolest part was that the shot was taken from directly above the tub,
looking straight down on them.  Their heads were at opposite ends of the
tub, and their legs were all tangled together, and they were both looking
up at the camera.

At the bottom of the full-sized poster (which I would sell almost any
relative I have to get) there was Lucy's "Chardonnay, Debussy, my man and
my duck" quote from a few years ago.  And there was the slogan from one of
their old promos "(more tomorrow)" below that.  (At which point I believe I
started ranting, yet AGAIN, about the fact that, the shot of Ned and Lois
hanging on the opposite wall was from that same campaign and that any
online GH fan would have to hurt themselves to try to avoid tripping over
it, but die-hard K&L fans couldn't find THEIR promo shots anywhere to save
their lives.  Grump.)

Cagey pointed out that while breaking the glass on the frame, and ripping
the picture from the wall would probably NOT be the coolest idea in the
world, we COULD take a picture of it.  So we'll have to wait and see how it
turns out.

Other observations:  the sets looked really, really small.  It seemed
strange, because they didn't seem NEARLY as big as they do on-screen.

The scenes they shot are on the revised version of the old lighthouse set.
On screen the remodel job annoys me because it looks all beige, and too
similar to the den set for my enjoyment.  But in real life the set is
actually a lot of greys and light blues.

Now, spoilers....

Well, the K&L scenes we saw them shoot were very cool, and DEFINITELY
storyline turning point on a couple of different levels.

For starters, Lucy is reading a murder mystery, written by Anomynon, and
the character named "Nancy" seems to bear an uncanny resemblence to our Ms.
Coe.  At the beginning of the ep Lucy is furious and throwing the book
across the room, because Nancy was killed "at the Nurses' Ball."  Kevin
walks in the door just as she pelts the book, and then Lucy launches into a
tirade about how she knows that Rex was the author of this book and he's
just doing it to torture her and he's enjoying killing her in effigy.

As Lucy is about to launch into some sort of legal action against Rex, Doc
confesses that he knows who the author is:  he wrote the book himself,
while Lucy was living at the hotel and then with Rex.  It was his own form
of therapy to deal with everything that happened.  And the only reason that
his name wasn't on the cover was because the publisher was trying to drum
up mystery to boost sales.

Lucy's reaction is less than delighted.  She is upset that Kevin didn't
tell her, but then the little bit about Lucy not being the world's greatest
secret keeper came up.  She tried to defend herself by declaring that she
COULD keep secrets... at which point (thank you, Lynn Latham!!) we get
Kevin reminding her about the time that she took all of his paintings to
the Outback for the whole town to see.

The other interesting bit in there is that **Victor is living with them at
the Lighthouse.**

He returns from a walk to the duck pond as they are discussing the book,
and heads upstairs to take a bath and finish the "remarkable book he found
on the hall table."  He takes one look at Kevin, snickers "Anomynon" and
heads upstairs.

And THEN, the last interesting bit, and the one that is in all likelihood,
the BIG storyline on their horizon:  apparently at the end of Kevin's book
(which is called "General Homicide," btw) there is a scene that Victor
recognizes (I couldn't hear exactly what it was, because that was the last
scene they shot and we weren't very close to the set at the time, and we
missed most of the rehersals) from Kevin's childhood.  Victor says to
Kevin:  "I didn't think you remembered that."  Kevin's reaction is shock,
because he DOESN'T remember anything and has no idea what Victor is talking
about.  (Cagey says:  Another possible take, because the dialogue was a bit
vague out of context, is that Kevin somehow vented his feelings about his
relationship with his father in the book, and Victor picked up on it.  But
I was further away from the set at that point, so Taiyin probably heard the
dialogue more clearly than I did.)

The whole tone of it, though, was the "beginning of a mystery" thing.
Kevin tried questioning Victor about what he meant, but Victor back-tracked
and never really said.

And then the only non-K&L spoiler we have is kinda spooky, actually:  Lark
and Jake start dating, she lies about her name and age, they SLEEP TOGETHER
<shudder> and then Lark sets them both up for Frank to find half dressed in
Jake's apartment.

And, as another aside, I must say that Jay Pickett (Frank) is incredibly
good looking in RL(tm), too.  And, as Cagey noted, he is every bit as
intense in real life as he is in character.

Anyway, the scene we watched part of had Frank freaking out and Jake trying
to fix things, while Lark was being a twerp again.

And that was about it.  Sunny took us back to the office, we gave her our
addresses, we told her which actors we'd like autographs from, and we split.
(Cagey says:  We were supposed to get lunch in the commissary, but they
didn't mention it at all!  I'm very bummed about that.  Also, we left a
card for Nancy Grahn and the baby.  Sunny said that mom and baby are doing
very, very well, and Nancy's still out for maternity leave.  And we looked
for Tony Geary's gold Porsche in the parking lot, but didn't seat it.)

And the reason ya'll didn't get this report on Tuesday night was because we
came home and I nearly imploded and it's taken me this long to recover. ;-)
