dr. guthrie was good.his cat and mouse with laura especially.did anyone notice that the footage of dr. guthrie driving his car to the seance and it's subsequent crash was the same footage used when david caused roger's car to crash?you can even see bits of roger driving the car.

i liked maggie and joe alot too.they had a sweet chemistry together.i never thought about the two of them reuniting at wyndcliff.but on the off-topic-subject of wyndcliff...julia runs the hospital,but after she moves into collinwood(forever)who's minding the shop?also,does anyone ever receive benificial treatement there?does anyone ever get better?or is it simply a depository for characters leaving the show whom the writers don't want to "kill-off" permanantly.

heather, i love the doll! but somehow,i felt strangely sedated while viewing it.

this is my little lara parker story.when i attended the fest last year(my first) i had not yet seen any of lara's storylines.i was watching at the time the barnabas/maggie kidnapping stuff.at the autograph signing lara was seated next to nancy barrett.i got nancy's autograph(she was adorable still) and then when i moved on to lara i told her that i hadn't gotten to her part on the show yet but would still love her autograph.i didn't see how she could possibly take offense to this but she gave me a death glare that would have made cassandra proud.and then very coldly her autograph.

as i said i would, i watched episode 1 (and 2)tonight.i hadn't seen them for a long time.i forgot how cooly regal liz was.and how cool the exterior shots were.but as i watched vicki and carolyn and maggie in these eps. i found myself saddened.to see these beautiful young girls, full of hopes and dreams for themselves, and to know that they basically become nothing but put-upon victims for whatever monster-of-the-week the show's writer's threw out there later in the show's run, i found it sad.

i must appologize for this maudlin post.i worked myself into a champagne-induced state of sentimentality.i hope i didn't "bring down" the mood on d.s.'s b-day.

another poster told me something strange.she told me that at fests lara parker claims to have no recollection of the character cassandra.i found that to be very odd.

in homage to the day, i think i'll watch episode one tonight.i haven't seen it in ages.
