doubt that he was going to come back. DrOOL is his home. It's the only thing
he knows. It's the only place with standards so low even he can get a job
"acting".
Seriously folks...why do you accept what this show gives you? Why don't you
fight hard for really interesting, novel storylines? This show is still in a
1985 mindframe.It's pathetic. Again and again this show bitch slaps you all
across the face, takes off its belt and whips you, punches you in the
stomach, chokes you, and forces you to make its dinner, and yet time and
time again, just like an abused wife, y'all keep coming back for more. How
many more times must DrOOL take you for granted before you give up on it?

But the 80s had great storylines. Nothing as weak as they have now.

Compare it to when Reilly was writing it. At least the stories move

All these responses were spoken like truly abused housewives. "But he
doesn't hit me that hard"..."I made him mad"..."He's really good to me and
the kids when he's not hitting me.."..."but he's a good provider compared to
most men"...."I probably had that coming".....

No, it's really pretty good now. It holds my interest, is no longer
repetitive, and I haven't seen a single person think out loud yet. When
Reilly was at the helm, the characters were one-dimensional, but now
they have depth to them. If you miss a day, chances are you've missed
something interesting or vital to the storyline. That never happened
when Mr. R. was doing the writing. I'll admit that it's not as exciting
as it was in the '80s, but it has improved tremendously.

Uh oh. Looks like li'l Suzee Homemaker wants to be part of the discussion. I
can only guess that I must've hit a nerve talking about domestic abuse
judging by the way Suzee has responded. Obviously Suzee has issues with
domestic violence. She probably has received her fair share of beat downs in
the past and is now very angry that the subject was brought up and painful
memories were forced to the surface. Does your husband beat you and the
kids, Suzee? Has he given you a black eye?
Stay strong, Suzee. Drake would want you to.

Has nothing to do with `hitting a nerve'. How you compare liking a show
to domestic abuse is beyond me. Besides, I thought you said you used to
watch it and thought it was alright in oh... the 80s or so.
Balls of Ice

Because you shouldn't like this show. You deserve better (theoretically at
least). This show has nothing but contempt for you. It abuses your trust and
devotion with ridiculous storylines that a monkey could randomly generate.
The rehiring of Drake Hogestyn is a perfect example because once again the
writers and producers are going to have to create an inane plot to try and
explain why John Black/Drake Hogestyn is back on the show.
> Besides, I thought you said you used to watch it and thought it was
> alright in oh... the 80s or so.
No, I never said that. I said it was stuck in an '80's mindset replete with
evil twins, faked pregnancies, villains bent on world domination, love
triangles beaten to death, etc....This show hasn't matured one bit, and as a
result its audience has abandoned it like rats on a sinking ship. It's still
churning out the same crap it did 25 years ago, only this time it's not
novel or interesting.
I didn't watch it in the 80's. I barely watched it in the 90's, and when I
did it was only to wail on it. The show's only redeeming qualities have ever
been Lauren Koslow (a goddess) and the work of Eileen Davidson playing all
those wacky characters. Hogestyn is an abomination and doesn't deserve to
have an "acting" career.
This show doesn't deserve its audience.
Seasons Beatings!

They won't have any super couple like Gran and Tom either. They can't be
a super couple if they are screwing around on each other. Can you
imagine the story lines of Gran and Tom if Jerk and other late writers
were writing in those days. Tom would have bedded down every nurse in
the hospital and Gran would have been working the street corners.

Obviously Susie has reading comprehension problems. He said you
commented like an abuse housewife since you were making "but, but,
but" style excuses and comparisons against yesteryear for the show,
not that you actually ARE one. He doesn't know enough background on
your home life to even go there, so why get all upset?
No need to call him names when he used simile and metaphor as opposed
to actually calling you names. Besides, why do you let him get to you
so? Honestly, as a fellow adult, Sue, can't a person have an opposing
point of view without you getting all bent and stomping off? Not
everbody likes your show. Be an adult. Accept it.
I, for one, am going to turn my widescreen into a 12 inch with my own
bare hands (out of pure frustration) if I have to see that girl who
plays Stephanie on the Northwest Afternoon soap report (I DVD-R it
because Cindi Rinehart dishes on GH, a show I actually *like* and on a
few other shows, too, that are not even soaps...) ever again. Even on
FWD and mute, "Stephanie" is so whiney. Even her facial expressions
holler out "VICTIM! SAVE ME! GOD, I'M SO HURT!". She is infinitely
annoying. They ought to recast for that role. She's an abomination
even on mute.
She's the type who could turn a rainbow into a storm cloud in five
seconds flat; a total damsel. (And YES, I realize her character was
recently raped, as was her mother's character years ago. I'll give you
five cents and a new pet donkey if I decide that it's a viable and
fresh new storyline where I actually CARE. It's not. It's a repeat of
Kayla's past where Kayla has to deal with her old demons through her
own daughter. YAWWWWWN...)

No, he wouldn't. He wasn't enough of a mysterious heartthrob, and I've
seen old black and white movies where Carey was a young man, too, so I
know. He was decent looking, but not a stud. They would've had to get
a different actor to play the doctor who screws everybody. He looked
then and even in his later years like a guy who's just not that type.
That doesn't mean he was ever ugly. It just means he looked (and acted
as a character on this show, in particular) like an honest and upright
fellow who cares about his job and his family and isn't obsessed with
his looks or with one night stands. He would have been the wrong actor
for that type of role if they ever had decided to go there.

Wow, you say that like it's a bad thing. ;-)
Ok, so let's say you're a professor. Let's say you're bright and let's
say you're right. WHY the hell are you talking to him if he's
apparently not important enough to hit a nerve with you and he's
apparently a big, nasty heavy handed, evil troll? Maybe he's right.
Maybe you have a thing for guys whom you view as negative and bad for
you. Maybe Ice is your bad boy dream come true and you're playing hard
to get by acting all sassy with a chip on your shoulder towards him?
Either way, it sounds like your fingernail polish is chipping off and
your Payless Shoe Source heels are wearing down and you're just having
a bad day, but you've still got enough energy left to play mindgames
with your favorite little "troll" guy. Mmm hmm... Yup. You ain't
nothing but a tease who's going to play the "he's mean to me and he's
rotten the NG" card because you're hoping for an (LOL...you'll be
waiting forever...) apology from Ice because if it were to happen, it
would be the ONLY attention you've had from a man all year.
He's *soooo* bad and you're so brave and are going to carry the weight
of the NG on your shoulders and be the one to tell him. Let's pin a
medal on you. You're so strong. Why can't we ALL be like you? Because
it's hard to play the role of a femiNAST while all the while being the
NG's (and probably the world's) biggest victim simultaneously, that's
why.
Ohhhhhh....the big, bad blonde thirty six year old man who's half your
age from Georgia is trying to RUIN your blessed twenty member strong
newsgroup. Weee weee weee she cried...all the way home. Poor, poor
you, Sue. He such a big, warty, hairy *TROLL*. He belongs at
Alcatrollz with all of the other big, bad nasty twwwolls, duzzn't he?
Call the Extrollminator, Papa! It's gonna' be a big job catching this
one!

and extra hair on his right pinky. His eyes are always dialated after
6 pm, too....Oooo....)

Ohhh yeah, everything's "soooooo" much "bettern" when you're posting
and drinking your cheap booze at the same time, isn't it, Old Lady? It
would serve you right if they brought back Drake as a different
character so that you would have to mourn his "passing" and exit from
the show all over again.
Then in six months time, you'd post to the NG (if the show even lasts
that long on NBC) that you've gotten "used to" the new character and
can't even remember how or why you liked John Black so much in the
first place. You're such an easy pushover that way; such a sucker for
this show and it's "writer's" punishments.
They just keep killing off or writing the people you claim to watch it
for out of the storylines, yet you keep coming back for more. Would
you work as a Senior member of management at a place where they fired
your whole entire staff and then begged them to come back to work
months later? Well, that's what they're doing at DOOL, BB. Wait,
forget I asked you that. You have no dignity, so yeah, you probably
would. In fact, you'd probably ask them "How was your vacation?" later
on by accident.

Darn. I was *so* counting on you to be extra super frightened. By the
way, I forgot to tell you...I ran out of clean laundry and decided to
wear your third husband's boxers today. Yep! Nowwwww you're scared!
Hell, I'm kind of scared, too. I have to wrab a belt around myself at
least seven times to get them to even stay up, due to his weight
issues. Size doesn't matter, though, right? It's what's inside that
counts. He was still a good lay. His heart was in the right place,
once I rolled him around a few times and actually ummm...found it,
that is...Thanks for his number, Suz. Gosh, you're a pal to share that

Even in the new year (and after all of this time...) Bonbon cannot
accept that she doesn't own nor moderate the NG. Anyone at all can
post here and she still acts/feels daunted and threatened when her
least favorite people appear at the NG on a once every 5 to 10 week
basis. She's tripping out yet again thinking we're "back to stay".
Don't flatter yourself, BB. I wouldn't post here everyday for all of
the tea in China, you Old Fart. I don't think Ice would either, seeing
as how you mentioned him. It's called having a life and more to cling
to than NBC daytime and two ratty little yapping tail waggers at your
feet.
Neither of us *need* the NG (or a couple of "roommates" in the form of
little chuckwagon dogs who can't talk BACK to us) to feel a sense of
calm or a sense of belonging in our lives, but it's obvious that you
certainly do. If I didn't know and remember all of the vile crap that
you're capable of, I would sort of feel sorry for you, but damnit, I
know better. I still have a memory that works properly 100% of the
time, unlike you.
Read a book for once, BB. I know you have trouble with multi
syllables, but it will enlighten you far more than this "show".
P.S. Real relationships work better than replacement "doggie
partnerships". Not like you would know. And puhleeeze, for the love of
Christ, don't call me "Dear". You haven't earned that spot in my love,
fore there's no fuzziness or comfy love between us. Besides, I'm well
aware constantly of our age difference, you need not remind me with
words like "Dear" or terms like "Little One".
