GL: IS MAY FOR REAL???
"I can't stand this character, she acts so dumb, she does act her part, she does play a dumb blonde. She sort of reminds me of Mindy Lewis, only she is alot dumber. No offense to anyone. I wish that they would have brought back the character Melinda Lewis than have this May girl on. " - DEVFAN

B&B: AMBER AND C.J.
"...(you) haven't seen the scenes between C.J. and Amber if you think there is no chemistry there. As far as Rick is concerned he is a spoiled brat and a Forrester to boot. He kicked Amber out on the street with no where to go and you think they have chemistry? He just wants her for the baby and to get her from someone else." - JACKIE

KNOTS LANDING: MEMORABLE MOMENTS
"...one of the most memorable episodes for me was the one when Brian got scared of Olivia or something and he had run out to hide outside and than there was a scene with Abby out in the row boat with Olivia. It was a tearjerker from what I remember. it might have been the scene when she was confronted about her drug use." -SONGBIRD313

Y&R: SPECULATING ON TRICIA'S FUTURE
"Tricia is going to get sexually and emotionally involved with that guy from the coffee shop (I can't remember his name right now, the dude with the new face).....the one who is out to get Sharon and Nick. The way I figure it, because she is so mentally unbalanced she will become his love slave and will end up as part of his sick plot to get back at Sharon. " - WPBJAZZGIRL

GWEN ATTACKS THERESA - FANS CHEER!
"...Passions has been exceptionally good the past few days. I especially enjoyed Teresa yelling "MOMA!" That was so good. Loved all the choking scenes. Just wish Gwen would have really clamped down on that old throat. I thought Teresa could "handle" Gwen. Sure didn't look like it to me. Gwen has the reason to be mad and that gives her even more strength. Not that she needed any more strength to kick Teresa's behind. LOL But, I do wish she would have B#### Slapped Teresa around some. Really hit that face. Punched those frog eyes a few times. you get the idea. " - PAPPY20

SHERIDAN AND LUIS MAKE LOVE NOT WAR
"I really hope Sheridan and Luis do go all the way; then maybe they will realize that fighting isn't nearly as much fun, and they'll be more willing to compromise when they disagree. But Sheridan should go ahead and tell Luis about Theresa and Ethan instead of waiting for him to find out that she knew about it the whole time, because then he'd have a real reason to be mad at her." -SUSANH759
