Correct me if I'm wrong but Rapists don't often marry their >victims. sorry to disappoint you, but based on what i've read, that's not it. there was a question about that in last week's tvguide chat, which i posted here last week sometime, and the guy who does the chats said it's not the rape, it's not one of luke's memories that's involved, and in fact the questioner had the wrong gender entirely. (not a direct quote, but something like that) so the implication i got was that this would be something to do with a female's past, that has something to do with luke, which in my guess would be laura and nik's true paternity. (assuming genie comes back, of course...they can't really bring that to light without her...can they?) i wasn't watching back during the rape thing either, and think it would be kind of interesting if they WERE to tackle it now (if only so i could see the clip--i'm very interested, after all i've heard about it. if you're interested, i think taiyin has a transcript of the scene somewhere on her ultimate gh link page)...but in another way i kind of agree with something i read (that i can't remember if it was from guza or logan) that it would seem kind of irrelevant to deal with that NOW, after all these years of marriage. despite the fact that rapists and their victims don't tend to marry, these two obviously did, and have been married for many years and countless children, so why rehash it now? (beyond that, what would it do to lucky and lulu if they DID? does lucky know? (anybody know?) lulu's too young, but i would think that knowledge would SERIOUSLY affect lucky if he didn't alreay know...) julie ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 02 Feb 1998 10:08:24 PST From: "Julie Saker" Subject: Re: Re: GH/PC: Luke and his past i wrote: >[luke and laura] have >been married for many years and countless children, whoops! another case of my mind getting ahead of my fingers! what i MEANT to say, is that they've been married for many years, countless escapades, and two children!

The FOLLOWING week: Ned and Alexis share a special night. Sarah shows some spunk. Liz confesses everything to Lucky. Bobbie gives Luke a warning. Keesha makes an appeal on Justus's behalf. Bobbie lashes out when she learns Carly is her daughter Bobbie's already imperfect world is turned even more upside down this week when she finds out that Luke knows Carly is her daughter and deliberately didn't tell her the truth. Initially, Bobbie doesn't believe Carly when she tells her that she is the daughter she gave up at birth, "because Luke said my daughter is dead," Jacklyn Zeman (Bobbie) says, in character. "There I am saying, "My version is that you came to Port Charles and looked at my life and decided you wanted it, and finding out about the daughter I had was a jackpot for you, and all you had to do was slip right into those shoes.' There's not even a question in my mind that she could be my daughter." The irrefutable proof is the unexpected arrival of Carly's adoptive mother, Virginia Benson, who confirms that Carly is, indeed, Bobbie's daughter, Caroline. "I look at Virginia and ask, "This is my daughter?' and she says yes, and I say [to Carly], "You little bitch,' and I walk out of the room," Zeman says. Bobbie can hardly comprehend what is happening. Did Luke know he was lying (when he told her her daughter was dead?) Did Stefan know? Did Carly know she was Bobbie's daughter when she stole her husband? Did she do it on purpose? "There's also that mother thing," Zeman adds. "If Carly did all this, what was my part in it? At one point I say to Virginia, "You and I aren't responsible' - because Virginia tells Bobbie she thought she raised Carly better than this, and she apologizes. I tell her Carly has always done whatever she has wanted to do, but I don't know how much I really believe that at this moment, because obviously there is something very wrong with Carly." Zeman says Bobbie is having a major identity crisis, not only because of Carly but also because of Luke. "He has been the one constant in her life," she explains. "She has learned over the years that your husband can leave you, your children can die, you can lose your job or your friends, but the one thing that would always be there was Luke." In harsh confrontation, Bobbie questions if Luke is really the big brother/protector he has always claimed to be, and tells him that this deceit has changed things between them forever." 'You're going to look at me one day and think Bobbie's OK and we are over it, but we will never be OK and I will never be over it,' she tells him. I don't say you are out of my life, but I do say that everything you always claimed you were, you're not." Adding insult to injury, Bobbie also learns that Luke made a deal with Jason not to blow Carly's secret if she returned to town within a month. "The whole world knew? That makes Bobbie even madder," Zeman says. "I was the only patsy who didn't know! Did it ever occur to anyone to tell me that Michael is my grandchild? It's total anger and betrayal for Bobbie." Bobbie isn't the only one who lays into Carly. Tony, who learns that he was sleeping with his wife's daughter, confronts her. Lizzie is the victim of a terrible attack Nikolas and Sarah's relationship has veered off course since his injury, despite her numerous attempts to spend time with him. So this week when she learns that Emily has been helping him with his recovery, Sarah is hurt, and she decides to avoid contact with him. She does want to go to the Valentine's Day Dance, however; she asks Lucky, and he agrees to be her date. Sarah doesn't realize that Lizzie really wants to spend time with Lucky, too. Audrey encourages Lizzie to arrange to meet him at the dance. When she finds out that her sister beat her to the punch, Lizzie decides to skip the dance altogether and seeks refuge at the movies. Her evening goes from bad to worse, however, because on the way home, Lizzie is attacked. FEBRUARY SWEEPS!! The dynamic between Lucky and Elizabeth is altered dramatically when he helps her through a personal crisis. Lizzie's situation forces Luke to face the darkest truth about his past. A surprising ally helps Nikolas with his recovery. When Carly has trouble bonding with her son, Bobbie intercedes. This spurs Carly finally to reveal that Bobbie is her mother. The revelation causes a major fallout for Bobbie, Carly, Luke and Tony. Brenda realizes that being with Jax will make her happy, but the choice may no longer be hers. Alan's addiction forces him to take desperate measures that may be his undoing. Mac and Felicia turn the tables on Tess to discover her motives. The trail leads them to a well-known Port Charles resident. Helena begins using Katherine against Stefan in order to gain control of the Cassadine empire. Jason is forced to confront his life choices when his involvement with Carly and the baby and Robin impact his effectiveness in the underworld. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---- - - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Feb 1998 14:38:10 -0500 From: "Donald K Gooden" Subject: GH/PC: PC Spoilers part One There are only two parts to these.

"I get really mad at her," previews Zeman. "I think she's lying. I say, 'What is it with you? At the first lovely moment of your life when you are holding your baby, all you can think of is hurting me by coming up with the fakakta story? You walked into Port Charles, took a look at my life, decided you wanted it and stole my husband. And then, finding out about {the daughter I gave up} was just another little jackpot for you. Now you're going to pretend to be my daughter? What do you want from me?' " In the middle of all this, Carly's adoptive mother, Virginia, walks in and actually introduces Carly - real name Caroline - to Bobbie. "She says, 'Caroline, this is your real mother, Bobbie! ' That's when I know it's true. "And in all the drama of the moment, Carly is ripping Tony to shreds. 'You were such an old fool. It was interesting to be with you for about 5 minutes. I got over that real fast and then it just became about hurting my mother. ' She totally degrades him with all the Quartermaines standing around listening. And then to top it all off, Virginia Benson has a stroke and dies right there!" Yikes. Next week, Bobbie will put the pieces together and realize that her beloved brother Luke has known all about Carly. "I head off to Wyndemere to talk to Stefan," reveals Zeman. "When your brother lies to you and your daughter lies to you, who else are you going to turn to for the truth but your mortal enemy?" Stefan confirms everything, adding that Luke has known all along. "It's the ultimate betrayal," shudders Zeman. "How could Luke lie? Put me through this pain? We have a wonderful scene where I say, ' you've always said you are my protector. What have you been protecting me from? The worst things life has to dish out have come from you. You have hurt me more than anyone else in my l life.' " And after that, nothing will ever be the same for "GH" heroine Bobbie Jones. "I will never be over this" confirms Zeman. - - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Feb 1998 14:26:23 -0500 From: "Donald K Gooden" Subject: GH/PC: Gh Spoilers part two Spoiler sfor the week of Feb 9 Jamila S P O I L E R S S P A C E > > > > > For The Week Of February 9 - 13 Will Tony refuse Lorraine's advances when she puts the moves on him?

Stefan doesn't even realize the depth of his feelings for Laura. Guza says that Stefan is the kind of man who will never be completely satisfied. There's a place in him that can't be filled...in 10 years he will maybe finds the person that fills it - that person could be Katherine or Laura. MBE says that Katherine is under the impression that Stefan is over Laura. She says that Katherine will be terribly hurt when she does find out. It will color everything they've done together. Guza says that they're almost playing a Rebecca kind of story which will build to a May sweeps climax that's going to be huge - HUGE! The article also gives quick summaries of these other plots: ''Spencer Secrets Revealed'' -- Bobbie and Luke will be on the outs over the Carly secret. And right on the heels of this lie, comes another lie of omission. Guza says ''We're gonna take an event from the past and blow it up in the present.'' ''Liz Not So Lucky'' -- Liz gets attacked at the park and Lucky is crossing the park at the same time. Will he get there in time to save her? ''Jax Revealed As Murder Target'' -- Mac and Felicia capture James but realize that Mac must impersonate Jimmy to find out Tess' plan. At the end of the week, Tess has a phone call where it's revealed that Jax is the intended murder target. Guza says ''We're going to build to a Hitchcockian Wrong Man climax scene, where there's a major event that spirals off into a different place.'' Looks like GH is going to be HOT!!! I only summarized so PLEASE pick up this SOAP OPERA MAGAZINE...

After Carly finally admits her real paternity, Bobbie believes that Carly has stooped lower than ever to tear at her heart like this. She also believes what Luke said: her daughter is dead. Bobbie does not waiver from her long-held belief: Carly came to PC and made moves on everything that Bobbie had and she herself wanted. In addition, she believes the Carly used the knowledge of the child that "died" has a means to an end. However, Bobbie has a complete turnaround after she meets Virginia Benson, who came to town to pay Bobbie a visit. When Virginia confirms that the girl who calls herself "Carly Roberts" is, in fact, Caroline Benson, she says "You little bitch" to Carly and storms out of the room. After this happens, Bobbie's begins to wonder who, besides Carly, knew the truth. Did Luke? Did Stefan? Did Carly herself know, when she arrived in Port Charles and set her sights on Tony (who was married to Bobbie at the time), and were her actions willful? On the flip side, Bobbie begins to wonder how of of Carly's actions she herself contributed to. Virginia reassures Bobbie that neither is responsible. She tells Bobbie that Carly always had a mind of her own and acted on it. While Bobbie tries to sort through all the information, she comes to grips with the fact that Carly is not "all there." And then there's the issue of Luke, who until now has always been the one constant in her life. Whereas a person can lose the spouse, children, job or friends ... Luke transcended all of that. But the realization of this betrayal will change the fibers of their relationship and Bobbie will see look in a completely different light. Zeman best explained it when she [Bobbie] said, 'You're going to look at me one day and think Bobbie's OK and we are over it, but we will never be OK and I will never be over it,' she tells him. I don't say you are out of my life, but I do say that everything you always claimed you were, you're not." And if that wasn't enough, Bobbie further learns that Jason also was privy to this information, but he also agreed to remain mum about it, provided Carly returned within a month. Luke knew? Carly knew? Stefan knew? Jason knew? Did Amy also know? And to top things off, she realizes that these people never bothered to inform her that Michael was her grandson? Bobbie's emotions will give new definition to the terms anger and betrayal. And as Carly will find out soon enough, silence is sometimes golden ... after Tony also learns that his lover is the biological daughter of his [now] ex-wife. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---- It Goes From Bad To Worse For Lizzie When Sarah comes to the realization that Emily has been helping Nikolas with his recovery, she feels it would be best if she keeps her distance. Trying to mend her broken heart, she invites Lucky to be her date at the Valentine's Day Dance, which he accepts. Despite Audrey's encouragement that Liz hook up with Lucky at the dance, after she arrives she sees that Sarah and Lucky are already together. Rather than deal with his heartache she decides to leave the dance to go to a movie. But what started out as a bad situation deteriorates into some far worse, when Liz is attacked on the way home. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---- Hell Hath No Fury Persistence pays off, and when Lorraine makes another attempt at seducing Tony is is all to happy to comply. The two embark on a steamy sexual relationship, but eventually he dumps her. Lorraine's "take" on the situation is zilch. She loses out on everything including a chance to work at GH. What Tony will soon discover the Lorraine will remind him a *lot* of the Glenn Close character from the movie Fatal Attraction. Any problems he had from Carly will pale by comparison to what happens when Lorraine takes the attitude "piss me off and pay the consequences." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---- - - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Feb 1998 14:39:26 -0500 From: "Donald K Gooden" Subject: GH/PC: PC Spoilers part Two This is the last of it.

I admit I don't pay attention to the Brenda storyline, but have they resolved the "was she fired from Jax Cosmetics" question? I don't think it was Lucy's intention to replace Brenda with Eve, though I suppose it would have had to have been done eventually, given the GH/PC situation. Just wondering if Brenda ever found out that she wasn't actually dumped by Lucy... - --kg - - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Feb 1998 17:05:52 -0800 (PST) From: Cagey Subject: Re: GH/PC: Rumors >These are rumors.

Please! Two characters in desperate need of storylines...

Jackie Zeman Chat Excerpts: - -Of all the leading men, who was your favorite and which one do you miss now? Who would you like to see come back of them JZ: Laughs.... Normally my favorite leading man is the one I'm working with currently.... Of course, I don't have one right now! I've been fortunate to have the best.... both on personal and professional levels, and I would be delighted to have any one of them come back! I keep in touch with Rick Springfield, who livees in Malibu... we cohosted an event for Cystic Fibrosis. We had a 20th Anniversary party, and David Groh and Rick both came! Kin Shriner also came..... we go back 20 years as buds on the show! Sam Behrens (who's married to Shari Belafonte) is also a good friend.... they live close to us here in Malibu! - -What do you consider your finest work on GH? JZ: Tough question.... Some of the most challenging materials I've ever been given was the BJ storyline (the emotional committment takes you into terrifying territory)..... .... the Carly/Bobbie storyline is interesting, because of my relationship with my real daughters (pre-teens both!) Not to say my life mirrors the one on GH, but there are similarities to my real life. - -Jackie, I wanted to ask you, Will Bobbie ever forgive Carly for her deception? JZ: If you had asked me that question before I became a real mom, I would have said no, but now that I'm a real-life mom, I look at the situation, and I say, of course there's a future, because that's life! The interesting thing for the audience will be how we get to that point.... - -What kind of relationship do you and Sarah Brown have off camera? JZ: I'm so pleased to work with her, that it's spilled over into an admiration from me for her. She's honost, straight forward, she always knows the scenes, and gives the best performance.... that's the best compliment you can give an actress, because she doesn't come off as a young woman, she is a mature adult. She is really fabulous in this part. - -When Bob Guza first created the Bobbie/Carly storyline, did you ever think it would be the enormous story it turned out to be, and that it would touch so many characters? JZ: I had no idea... I'm a huge Bob Guza fan, and he's so good at taking a reality-based storyline and making it very real on a soap opera.... He makes me feel that it all meshes together, and balances the reality with the craziness that is so much a part of GH. - -What do you think of baby Michael? JZ: They are twins, you know! They are beautiful. We started with these two, who were premies, a few days before the holidays. I feel like I've bonded with them. I shouldn't speak for Steve Burton, but I think he feels the same way; I love playing a grandmother, even though I didn't think it would be happening so soon! This has been a few years in the making, an I'm gratefull that the writers did this in a way that Carly has a whole life of her own, and her own history. It has a lot more meaning this way! I can't go anywhere in public without someone asking me ''when is Carly going to tell you?!'' We're in the midst of ratings sweeps right now, so the timing on this revelation is great! - -We all know that the one constant in Bobbie's life was the trust she and Luke had. Now that Luke has broken the trust, what are the chances of them mending fences in the near future? JZ: I believe that those fences will get mended, but the breakdown and betrayal that Bobbie is feeling right now has put her in a crossroads, an identity crisis, where she's realizing that you can only depend on yourself, and you have to take responsibility for all the good and bad in your life and that pointing a finger is not the way to go. There's an upcoming confrontation between Bobbie and Luke that's such an identity crisis for her to realize. The audience will like this, and it was so well written. In my relationship with Luke, he's always been the ''big brother'', and now there's a role reversal with the Carly/Bobbie thing where Bobbie is now the older personality! - -Jackie, I was at Super Soap Weekend '97, and I loved seeing you there! Did you have as much fun as I did? JZ: That was a fun weekend, wasn't it?! What a great opportunity - I hope I'm invited back again next year! - -When you're on the set are there any times when you can't stop laughing? JZ: Occassionally, but not often, because we 80-90 pages of dialogue a day, which is a lot of ground to cover; no time to fool around! Brad Maule is so humorless, serious on the show, but he's the most underrated actor - in real life, he's a funny guy! They should see in between takes.... - -What's your favorite thing you've done for a Nurse's Ball? JZ: The dance that Luke and Bobbie did - last year, the disco dance to Donna Summer's ''Last Dance''! We had so much fun! The flashbacks, the rehersals; we were a couple of kids thrown back into our youth! Maybe we'll get to do a 30's or 50's thing next time....Tony has a dance background, and he's such a good dancer! - -Do you see a big rivalry in store, between Monica and Bobbie? JZ: Possibly, because where that grandchild is concerned, everyone'll want that piece! It'll be interesting to see who gets his allegiance once he grows up. I don't think the Quartermaines are good at sharing, so there will be a bit of push-pull there.... I'm sure Bob Guza (headwriter) has some things up his sleeve..... I asked him how far ahead he was writing, but he's not telling! - -Jackie, What is your favorite memory working on General Hospital? JZ: One: Emotionally memorable scenes have been with my family on the show, because they're the ones I'm most bonded to in real life - Lucas, BJ (Brighton Hereford).... Brighton was BJ from 6 months old, she was the first child with pictures on my refrigerator.... I still have it! - -Jackie, the clothes on GH are fabulous. Who are the designers and do you have a hand in choosing the wardrobe for Bobbie? JZ: Well, Bob Miller and Steve Howard are the designers team. Most of the things you see (esp. coutiuer) are designed by them. They have Emmies for their design. I do have a little say in the look, more than the actual clothes... I pick things from magazines, and they'll buy things from magazines, and they'll buy things from design warehouses (esp. from NY). I hope they found me a gown for the Soap Opera Digest Awards... :) He has such great taste. - - Do you have a dance background too? JZ: Yes, I was a professional dancer, and started when I was 5 in New Jersey. I took Ballet, Tap, Jazz, etc. and now my own daughters are doing dance - I'm so proud of them! Dance background teaches you discipline, focus, and that if you pay your dues, and get good , it'll pay off. You become a much more hard-working person.... that's what it gave me. - -Will Tony and Bobbie ever get back together? I know I am not in the majority, but I liked them together, and would like to see them back together. JZ: Perhaps.... I think there's so much water under the bridge that to do that now would be untrue to life. She's really over Tony right now, she needs to heal from Luke's betrayal, the disfunctional relationship with Cassadine. She needs to find herself, heal herself, and the next relationship should be a healthy one with a terrific guy... don't know who that'll be..... Spiritually women want to see Bobbie finally get with the right guy.... - -Who would you like to see Bobbie paired with romantically? JZ: It may be someone on the show, but no one yet that I've got my sights on... It's always best if you develop from the stories/characters already there, but the Bobbie/Tony thing won't happen. I hope it'll be someone new....Wendy Riche will find someone fabulous! - -Was General Hospital your first television roll? JZ: No.... my longest though, 21 years! My first job on tv was a commercial for Jergen's soap - selling soap in a bathtub in a bank vault for 30 sec.! My next was on ''Edge of Night'' with Dixie Carter and Tony Craig.... My first contract role was on ''One Life to Live'', with Jameson Parker - 22 or 23 years ago, for 2 years. Then GH came along, and that was great, because I didn't audition or screentest, and they offered the Bobbie role to me. It was such a boost to my confidence and self-esteem that I JUMPED at it! and 21 years later.... - -Jackie, Happy 20th Anniversary, how much longer do you plan to stick around GH? I hope a long tiome! :) JZ: Thank you very much! I do plan to stick around at least for the next few years, and I love my work, my job and my tv extended family.... this was my dream to do work like this. The audience is so supportive, and the writers have come up with great material for me to do (esp. when I've been there so long). - -Do you or your family watch GH when it is on tv? JZ: Not everyday, but occassionally. Lacey was 3 when we were in the bathroom one day, and she looked at me and said ''You're Bobbie! You were crying, and Grammie said you were pretending.'' Both the girls are familiar with the set, and when they're out of school, they're there. They know everyone by the children of the other actors! My kids are on the Christmas episodes every year.... - -What's the most tear-jearking scene you've ever done? JZ: Probably when BJ died... people tell me about their reactions from people who experienced it in real life. - -What is your relationship with Tony Geary like off camera? Do you get along well? JZ: Always! And he's so cool, and he's great with kids (esp. for a single guy). He loves musicals, and my girls like to see videos with him. He's so generous and thoughtful, and I've transferred his being my tv big brother to being a part of my real family. - -Have you or would you ever want to direct an episode? JZ: Well, I don't think so... never had the desire to direct, but producing is interesting to me... The acting is easy for me, so I enjoy it because it doesn't feel like work anymore. Producing would bring along new territory, and that would be interesting to try in the future, but not right now... I'm comfortable right now. - -Will Bobbie help Carly through the death of her mother Virginia? JZ: I don't think so... Carly lied about the situation with her, pretending that Virginia was dead, even her own name (Caroline).... Bobbie is so angry and turned off to her that she can't get passed that right now, and it'll take time to lose the resentment towards her. That's sad, but the reality of the moment.... - -Are you glad the secret is finally out? JZ: Yes! I've been wanting these scenes for so long, and I was curious as to how they were going to structure this, and when I got the script, I was in heaven! - -Hi... Do you know anything about the GH primetime special? JZ: Yes! Mostly because we're shooting a hunk of it tomorrow.... It's a history of GH from the WHOLE 35 years it's been on, all the characters, all the hairstyles :), and Kin Shriner and I are doing the 70's - 80's section of the program. I think it's on April 2nd (?) at 10 pm on ABC - It'll be a very good show.... especially for anyone who has a history with the show! - -What is Stephen Nichols like to work with? Will Stefan and Bobbie ever get back together? JZ: Well Stephen is very professional, prepared actor. I didn't watch him when he was Patch on ''Days,'' and I'm told they're very different, but he is absolutely wonderful here. I feel the relationship between Bobbie and him had potential for a real spark, but the overzealousness to get the Stefan-Catherine thing left the Bobbie-Stefan thing kinda hanging.... part of that was just bad timing: Bob Guza had left, and we had different writers, and now Bob's back, but in the meantime, the storylines were written. Personnally I'm a little sad, and would've loved to see it bloom. - -Ms. Zeman, I apologize for joining the chat late. I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed your portrayal of Bobbie.... from the time you first joined the show. Do you find it difficult to balance your work and your family life? You seem to manage it all so well! JZ: What a lovely thing to say! Thanks for the compliment! Some days I do it well, and other days it's not so easy.... My kids are already thinking about what they want to do with their lives and how to go about getting there. There are days when, like all working mothers, I get pangs of guilt, but I think our family has found a happy medium. My daughter Cassidy (in 2nd grade) gets paid $2 a script to read lines with me at night!!! - -If you could make up your storyline for the next 6 months, what would it be? JZ: OOOOHhhh.... Probably pretty close to where it is right now... I'd like to see her meet somebody, and someone get interested on her, and she not be anxious to jump right in. I want the audience to see that just because you're over 40 doesn't mean you have to be single. I want to see what happens with Carly, and how we get through that... and what goes on with Lucas, because he's not in the storyline enough. Soaps do have a tendancy (and GH like all others) to gove the romance over to the younger characters, and I believe that when you hit 40, you get married, you wear neglige's and get sexy in bed, and we should be able to see that! - -Do you ever visit General Hospital Web sites? JZ: I don't have a computer at GH, and at home, my husband and kids are always on it.... I have to get on it more! - -Ms Zeman, you are obviously aware of the legions of fans you have on the internet. Do you ever read any of the newsgroups to see what we are saying about GH? JZ: Once, someone sent me a transcript, but I can only see them now if someone prints them for me! I find it fascinating because this is all so new, but now I'm beginning to realize that you have to be hip to this! - -Were you happy with the show today? JZ: I haven't seen that show, but earlier I was at Planet Hollywood with Sarah Brown (Carly), and saw a little clip on this HUGE screen! We did tape it though, so I'll see it tonite. I don't usually watch, though, because the last thing I wanna do after a long day of shooting it's the last thing I want to see. JZ: Well, I'd like to thank everyone for showing up to this, this has been so fun... to talk about the present, and relive the past. As far as the future, the next few weeks are going to be SPECTACULAR, you won't want to miss it.... For me, thank you personally for all your support, and I'm aware that all this wouldn't be happening for me without the audience, so thank you so much! Goodbye! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - - ------------------------------ End of port-charles-digest V1 #23 *********************************
