I wish I could find out more though. > Sigh, when I first read the "Lucy fights for her life" spoilers, this was one of the two things I was afraid would happen. I absolutely hate seeing Lucy as a victim, even a physical one. One of the reasons she is my favorite female soap character is because she usually avoids this role. I also think that this sounds too much like the ending of the Joe Scully and Madame Maia's stories--Lucy is hurt, and so these problems that she and Kevin have are never addressed; there is little soul searching on her side. My other fear is that Kevin's mind games with Rex will lead to this explosion--that would be Madame Maia all over again. Still, the explosion part sounds interesting if the writers don't forget Kevin's history with loved ones in explosions.

True, except that the actual interaction between K&L improved drastically when she started. Storyline-wise she has a huge mess to untangle before she can get around to giving Kevin something to do OTHER than this current headache. I think having Kevin go postal on Rex would probably make up for any disappointment I feel about the rest of the. At least for a little while. ;-) And, speaking of temporary solutions: how is Lucy planning on getting her butt out of the sling when it comes out that she perjured herself during Scott's trial? >Okay, BUT..... is he a shrink or isn't he?

Kevin deserves to know that. Oh, I agree. And if they would actually DO something with that, then I could forgive the sickening blow that was to the integrity of Kevin's character. I hate that they did it, but now that they have they need to deal with it. And if they do it well enough, they can make up for the damange that, IMO, they did to Kevin by turning him into a liar over his father. >I am LIKING the sound of this.

And when Scott took off with Serena back at the end of 1993, I cried BUCKETS for Lucy -- not only did she lose the baby, but she lost Scott, too. And she loved them both. What he did was cruel and selfish and monumentally unfair to her. And then when he returns to town he's even worse.

It's true - she inherited Rex and that whole mess. And the one thing I'll say for the way that she's working it out is that it actually *has* given K&L their own storyline that doesn't directly revolve around Scott, which is something we've wanted. I know Scott's trial touched off this whole thing, but that's almost irrelevant now. At this point, Kevin's pursuit of Rex is going to have NOTHING to do with Serena; it's completely personal, and it doesn't matter whether Scott lives, dies, goes to jail, or moves to the New Hebrides. Besides, it says a lot for her opinion of K/L's relationship that she had to do *this* to put an obstacle between them! Joe and Karen's obstacle is just a meddling future mother-in-law. Julie and Frank's is a teenager with an attitude. Kevin and Lucy would make mincemeat of any such minor annoyances. So to put their relationship in danger, she had to throw an evil, manipulative, psychopathic kidnapper and murderer (who wants Lucy for himself) at them! >As for that erroneous scoop about >him being reinstated we can only hope that the writers decided to put it >off until the current story is over. That's what I keep hoping too. And I do hope he eventually gets an office at the hospital. I loved the paintings and the various objects in the old one!

(i'm not sure how i missed it...) thanks! It was shown on GH last Friday, and again today. Obviously the clips are not in chronological order. (1) Kevin and Lucy kissing rather frantically, possibly in an elevator but you can't really tell. (2) Lucy telling Rex she wants to be "Mrs. Rex Stanton - tonight." (She sounds like she's on the verge of hysterical tears). (3) Kevin threatening Rex and trying to deck him - apparently at the engagement party, since Lucy is wearing the dress we saw (4) The judge saying, "Scott Baldwin, I sentence you to...." (4) Kevin yelling, "Lucy, NO!!!!" while being restrained by a couple of men. (5) A hand opening a door, and an explosion happens. (6) A judge awarding custody of Serena to..... (7) Gail in her car, saying, "My God!" (8) Karen in *her* car, seemingly losing control of it and screaming. I have to say, I can't remember the last time I saw Kevin in so many scenes of the PC promo for the week!

This whole storyline is ticking me off because it's >making Lucy into something she has NEVER been before: stupid. I HATE >that.) Well, two comments. First, I'd argue that she's been very stupid before. I thought Lucy's pinnacle of stupidity was when she uncritically believed every word Madame Maia told her without ever doing any digging into the woman's background, and when she wouldn't even *consider* taking Kevin's advice to be skeptical. I hated that storyline because it made Lucy look stupid and gullible, two things I didn't believe that she was. Second, in my view she's been taking Kevin for granted off and on for ages, whenever something more urgent comes along. Remember how, the morning after Kevin saw Ryan go up in flames, we almost got whiplash? One second, Lucy was a wellspring of love and support, cradling Kevin in his arms while he tried to deal with the horror of what he had seen; the next second she was out of bed and on her way to Luke's so she could dive into that MDP to bring down Joe Scully. After that ended, they had about one good month before Maia arrived in town. It really wasn't until after they reconciled from their Maia-related break-up that he became a top priority in her life, and I think that was partly because not long after that, his sanity became the next urgent thing to come down the pike demanding her attention. I think Kevin will always be more consistently focused on Lucy than the other way around because (unlike her) he doesn't tend to let that which is *urgent* distract him from that which is *important*. And I don't think she's atypical in this tendency; it's just that she's so much more extreme about it than most people.

I'm one of their long distance fans-- tough to be a band groupie for an LA band from Connecticut, but I manage:-). Email me privately if you like--- I tend to go on and on about them... Don't want to bore anyone:-) To get back on the subject of Kevin-- I just watched today's show, and he definitely has a little whisker action going there. I guess it will be wait and see as to how it progresses........

You're right probably my favorite image of Jon is one in my head of the first time I saw him in person. It pretty much matches the one you've described:-). I'm off to check what you have there to see if it is from the same night.....

I love the man lookin' like that too! But I still prefer him with a three piece suit and a goatee!! Or jeans or chords with a button down shirt. Don't ya just love complex and intellectual discussions like these? :) I must admit that I love his 'new' haircut!! I think it makes him look much younger and I think his hair looks much healthier since he cut it. Ultimately though, I'll love that man lookin' like anything. - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 02 Feb 1998 23:20:23 -0600 From: Debi Sanders Subject: Re: K&L: Another Sweeps spoiler Jessica Thompson wrote: Ultimately though, I'll love that man lookin' like anything.

Lucy will pretend to have food poisoning and will successfully avoid sleeping with Rex. So is this the wedding night, I wonder? According to the previews/ spoilers the wedding takes place either at the end of this week or beginning of next which would fall on or around Feb.9. >I'm rooting big-time for #3.

The fact that #2 and #3 differ only slightly means that it *has* to be one of the variations on the Lucy-gets-sick theme, right?!? Well, whatever happens we know that *someone* will get sick, if not Lucy, than me.
