On another topic have you noticed GT's habit now of repeating some scenes from the previous days episode, something I have not seen on soaps in a long time and of which I am not a fan of. I suppose it's good if you've missed an episode but I find it wasted airtime to repeat what you've seen. Flashbacks, to me, are different and if they support a scene I generally enjoy them but just repetition is not my preference. I�m getting a �too soapy� feeling with GT�s vision lately. -- At The Bayberry

In reply to: Tuggs 's message, "BINGO! Pilar!! Emmy award winners supporting weaker talents is RIGHT! I have long since given up on liking any of Viki's story while Ben/MD is on canvas. I am not a fan of the actor! And Todd groveling in Blair's world supporting Kassie is puke city. When I get those little moments of Todd & Nora, Todd & Skye, talented actors to work with Roger again I salivate!" on 15:42:24 03/20/01 Tue

Oh Tuggs, that little "habit" reminds me of Malone times. Several times he used footage from previous day to restart a scene, I can think of at least 4 times w/Marty's rape trial alone. As for "flashbacks" sheesh NONE w/Jilly and same repeated one w/GT, what did the OLTL archives burn down leaving only 1 film reels. Silly me when Todd walked in on B&M in bed I expected like a GOOD soap would a flashback to B&P on PH floor like deja vu moment. (NT) -- Pilar, 16:07:23 03/20/01 Tue
- I remember a scene like that during Todd's DID trial. They ended the episode with the verdict and Todd had his hair loose. The following day they opened Todd's SAME scene with his hair in a ponytail. -- jane, 16:44:26 03/20/01 Tue
  - Hi Jane, I remember that, not good continuity there... but you know maybe today was re-filmed b/c Todd's reactions were slightly varied I thought. (NT) -- Pilar, 23:02:28 03/20/01 Tue
    - Think positive Pilar, FILLER LOL! -- jane, 02:46:58 03/21/01 Wed
