I'm one of those people who thinks that AM was irreplaceable as Viki. BUT I do think that J. Smith would have been able to take over the role without much audience protest. It would be great to see a picture of JS during that time frame to see what she looked like. It would help to get a visual image of JS as VW.

You know, a few weeks ago when they did the Sabrina meets the werewolf flashback, I played with the thought that Lisa Richards might have made a good AM ( as Victoria Winters) replacement. She had all that hair & sweetness going on.

PS - I do think Kate Jackson could have taken over the role as well, in fact I have no doubt that she could have pulled it off better than either B. Durkin or C. groves.

PPS - Can you imagine poor JS having to play opposite her hubby R. Davis? Being mauled 24/7? Maybe she purposely blew the audition!

This may be a bit of a stretch, but I know that Naomi inherited the Old House. She mentioned that fact when she gave the Old House to Barn & Ange as a wedding gift. A will may have been mentioned but I can't honestly say that I remember hearing the word.

Still celebrating, Linda? Or are you in the recovery stage? I hope your birthday was THAT fabulous!

Frankenstein's monster gets my vote. I still to this day have recurring nightmares (at least once a year, if not more) that he is chasing me.

I've had only two other recurring dreams during my lifetime. One is trying to escape an air raid. I always have to squeeze through a hole (of some sort) to get to safety but I can never squeeze back out through the hole (I hate that dream). The other one is fabulous. I dream that I can float. It's always like I am an ice skater without the ice or the skates. Usually I am either dancing or walking and I just take off. It's a euphoric feeling.

Any dream analysts out there? The common thread appears to be the issue of escape. But what do I know?

Hi Bette!

I'm in Tracy, just a few hours up the road from Madera. I love Fresno! (Bet you never heard that much during your tenure in the area, eh?) lol. I almost moved to Fresno but that relationship didn't work out - the one that got away. <sigh> But I made out alright.

I love Tracy, it's the first place I've ever lived in my 44 years where my neighbors actually welcomed me to the neighborhood, and with home-grown veggies, pies, etc. to boot!

I think Baranabas was being rhetorical, sending out a clever (if not cryptic) warning to Magda. He let her know (practically in the same breath) that he is aware that she is playing one side against the other. You know, like, "I can be your best friend or your worst enemy." I'd say that is pretty much the atmosphere on the Collinwood estate at the moment. Of course, that is usually the mood during any time period at Collinwood.

LOL, Dom... now I'm embarrassed.  'Specially since you know what I'm *supposed* to be doing tonite.

Busted!

LOL, and a scream!
