Y&R: LETTER TO GRACE
"I have a bone to pick with you and it's about time someone said something
to you about your recent behavior. It's disgusting! Your taste in clothes leaves
a lot to be desired. Actually what clothes? You never wear any and what you do
wear is revealing, skimpy and totally unsuitable for anybody except a porn slut!
Now see? You come across as a slut with trampy ways who thinks that dressing
that way will get you anybody!..." -Sunny

B&B: BABY BEHAVIOR
"I think you said it in that Becky is the real one. I thought her acting
yesterday in that 5 min of realizing that was her baby, was better than Rick or
Amber in their whole careers on the show. And please---- they about made me
laugh when Amber and Rick were trying to act "sexual". What a joke!
They are so immature they should climb in the playpen with the baby!"

FROM THE CSAW PROPOSAL SENT TO CBS
"GL would be cut back to 1/2 hr making room for 1/2 of AW, strengthening
the ratings for both shows saving GL, and making CBS' lineup much stronger. Also
would position them in a better place to utilize their investment in TriStar's
upcoming cable soap channel. Vicky Wyndham's sister responded that she think's
it's a long shot, but it has merit and is doable..." -Numbart
