I've included some comments about today's (9/18) episode.

He all but said > that they would. Still, fan-torture is the whole point of such quotes . I tend to think that either it's a red herring on Kin's part or wishful thinking on his part. Today's episode when the two of them were stuck in the bed pretty much showed to me that there's no way in hell those two are gonna do the horizontal mambo anytime soon. Scott seemed to mildly enjoy the predicament while Lucy looked as if she'd gnaw her arm off before anything even slightly resembling a physical relationship occured. Granted it could also be my hatred of Scott being projected onto the situation. > As for the other half of our worries, after what we've seen this week, I'm > less worried about Kevin/Eve than ever. I've always taken spoiler comments that use the word 'grow' to mean in terms of friendship. Kevin still lays blame on Eve for her part in the feud, he just doesn't hold mountainsized grudges like Scott does. By this time next week I figure both Kevin and Victor are gonna be feeling some pretty heavy guilt trips over the whole 'Lucy is dead' thing. For Kevin it's gonna be another piece for the mill. He's already admitted that he doesn't thinki he could handle someone else dying from his book, he made a speech about the uselessness of digging into the past after hearing about Brenda's death (a speech I took to mean that he realizes time is to precious to waste being angry or digging up horrible memories), discovered that not only did he kill Marsha but her kid, and in theory Lucy and Scott are toast because they went after Kevin and Eve due to this whole GH killer. Since crossovers with Mac are sadly not gonna happen, unless I'm pleasantly surprised, Kevin is only really gonna have Eve and Ellen to talk to about this. And in reality Eve is the only one who can understand just he amount of guilt Kevin will hopefully feel for having spent the last 2 months away from Lucy. Or at least Eve will have the more readily available ear for Kevin to talk to. In the end this along with a confrontation with the GH Killer, which should happen with any luck, will all but send Kevin running back into Lucy's arms. On a side note, the only thing really saving the Jasmine Island sequences for me are Ryan. I agree with the assertion made the Eve really isn't cut out for this type of stuff. Ryan just keeps getting freakier and freakier with each successive episode. And popping out of the mirror today just about had me popping off of my couch. We may not fully appreciat Lynn Latham mucking up our favorite couples, but I give her all sorts of kudos for bringing Ryan with all the intensity of a head-on tractor trailer collison. the only thing missing is Lucy being there possibly sensing Ryan or at least sensing something in the house. - -Nicole http://www.galactic-productions.com - - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 19:09:45 -0400 From: ~Melanie~ Subject: Re: K&L: Is it okay to love Ryan? Gee, in case you didn't know this already, Ryan Chamberlain is my favorite soap character of all time. Oh, how much fun I used to have watching him on a daily basis. His one-liners are classic! His whimsical, twisted humor makes me LOL. Gosh, I missed him... When I first got my frisky doberman puppy, I simply couldn't come up with a proper name for him. But the more trouble he made, the more I was convinced -- I named him Ryan. :) Mel Regina wrote: > K: "You're the one that's driving me crazy." > R: "Well from where I stand, bro, that's a mighty short drive." > > - - -- Visit Rustyville! http://www.geocities.com/~Rustyville "I don't kill my friends for money... ...This one I'll do for free." --Scottie LaMont - - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 15:56:07 -0500 From: Debi Sanders Subject: K&L: Jon on AOL I thought I would let you guys know the gist of what Jon had to day today on AOL Spoiler space provided even though he didn't really give away any spoilers, just in case! > > . > > . > > > . . . . . . . > When asked if he and Lucy would get back together he said "There is no such thing as a happy soap relationship" He also has very little control over where the character goes.

I just downloaded it. I'll insert spoiler space, then c/p it. Hope it's not too long to get all in one email. Enjoy: * * * * * * * * * * * * ABCStar: Good afternoon everyone! This is ABCTim and I'm just waiting to get Jon on the phone with me. Jon is working today and is doing this during his lunch break. As you all know, today we are talking to Jon Lindstrom, Port Charles' Kevin Collins. Lets take the first question..... Question: this question is for Jon Lindstrom. Hello, I'm a huge fan of PC and GH. I love Doc and Lucy!! Can you possibly tell us if there's any chance of them getting back together at all!??!! Thanks, Heather from Chicago ABCStar: No. I can't tell you. But of course, there is no such thing as a happy love relationship in daytime. Question: Have you ever not liked the direction the writers took your character? What did you do? How much control over character development and storyline do you have? ABCStar: There are times when I disagree with a given direction or story. My job is not to be judgmental. As an actor, you have very little control over the direction of a storyline. But any creative person relishes the chance to embellish it or make it better. Question: Jon, you and Lynn have a great chemistry together!! Was it hard playing her lover when her real husband came on to play Rex? Keep up the great work! ABCStar: Thanks for the compliment. Frankly, that was my big chance to drive Wayne Northrop crazy so I milked it for all it was worth. Question: Hi Jon. Do you enjoy being at Port Charles rather than GH....or do you miss GH? ABCStar: I miss the people on GH, but I enjoy working everyday. Question: There are so many rumors that P C will be dumped. Please tell us that isn't true. PC has become a very great show. ABCStar: If it is true, it's the first time I've heard of it. It's just a rumor. Our numbers are better than what was airing in the time period prior. Question: What has your wife been doing since she left DOOL? She was a great villainess. ABCStar: Taking care of herself and cooking for me. Question: Will you be attending the soap week at Disney this year? I love to watch your show -- keep up the great job! mysha ABCStar: No, not this year. Question: Hi Jon, keep up the great work on Port Charles! How long have you been a musician? ABCStar: Most of my life. Since the fifth grade. Question: Jon, do you have any pets? ABCStar: I have three dogs. We lost one dog and two cats over the past couple of years. Question: So, Jon... c'mon, let us all in on the big secret! Who's the killer? Just a hunch, but could it be Eve? I'm thinking she's Kevin's long lost sister that has never been mentioned before. Any comments? ABCStar: Well, if she is his sister, they better never have an affair. Question: How long have been married to Eileen Davis? ABCStar: Eileen Davidson and I have been married almost a year and a half. Question: How about dropping by some night to play with the High Lonesome? You know everyone and the fans would love to see you play again. ABCStar: I am recording a song for one of the band members solo projects tomorrow. As far as performing again, that takes a lot of rehearsal and it's hard to work out but I would love to do it. Question: What is it like working with a character like Lucy? ABCStar: Believe it or not, she is one of the most disciplined straight arrows you would ever meet. I love the character of Lucy and I love working with Lynn. Question: Hi Jon! I liked you a lot as Mark McCormick on Santa Barbara. How was it working on SB? ABCStar: That was a great acting challenge but quite possibly the worst professional experience of my life. Question: Do you enjoy the 1/2 hour format or the full hour more in terms of storyline? ABCStar: I think a half hour format is better for telling story. It moves faster and is fresher. Question: Is it true about Kevin having an additional brother?? ABCStar: I would welcome another brother, but I don't believe this baby mentioned today will be the one. (cont. part 2) - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Sep 1998 21:21:31 -0700 From: Taiyin Subject: Re: K&L: Jon on AOL (2/2) [Here's part 2. -- Taiyin] Question: It has been great seeing Ryan again so much. Do you enjoy getting a chance to play both roles again? ABCStar: Yes I do. I think Ryan is the best character I've ever had the chance to play. Question: Why does your dad call you MONK ABCStar: Because when Kevin was a child and they were living in Europe together, Kevin was very high strung and he would climb on everything. Victor started calling him Monk like monkey. Question: Who/what has been the biggest influence in your life? Have a horror show day! --Jen ABCStar: Movies have had the biggest influence. Next to that would be rock and roll music, my parents, Sean Connery. Last but not least, my wife. Question: Do you have any children? ABCStar: No, not yet. Question: Jon, are Lucy and Kevin ever going to get married ABCStar: Not without a lot of work. Question: Are you done taping for the day? ABCStar: No, I'm doing this on my lunch break. Question: Who's your favorite actor to work with? ABCStar: I don't have one. Lynn Herring and Kin Shriner are at the top of my list. I think actors need to work with new people, new blood. Question: Jon. Do you have a fan club? ABCStar: I used to, but not any longer. It was too hard to maintain. Question: Hi Jon! I want to tell you how gifted an actor you are! I applaud you on your heart wrenching scenes a couple years ago at Jasmine Island as well other scenes. What scenes and storylines are you most proud of? ABCStar: Kevin and Ryan. Kevin and Lucy falling in love. Kevin and Lucy's break up. And going way back, Ryan and Felicia at the cabin. Question: Do you have any things going on outside of Port Charles? ABCStar: I wrote a screenplay and am in the process of trying to get it set up and get the film made. Question: Hello Jon. How did you get started acting and when did you start? ABCStar: I started when I was in grade school doing commercials for my father, who was in advertising. I made a career out of it through perseverance and stubbornness. Question: I know you and Eileen are animal lovers, how many and what kinds of pets do you have now? ABCStar: Three mutts that were rescued from pounds and I encourage everyone to do that. Question: How did you get into soaps? ABCStar: I was bartending and a casting director I had known was looking for someone to replace an actor on the soap Rituals. I read for it and the next day I got on a plane and went to Europe for three months. When I came back they were still looking. I read again, met the producer. That was a Friday. I gave my notice at the restaurant and started the soap on Monday. Question: Hi, Jon! Thanks for your wonderful scenes. This week, I've laughed, cried, and had chillbumps over poor Kevin's plight. Will we know soon what happened at that picnic? .... (Lynelle F) ABCStar: Hi Lynelle. Thanks for your great letters. Things should be made much more clear next week. Question: Is it hard playing a good and a bad brother? ABCStar: Actually no. It is amazingly easy. Question: Hey Jon, I was just wondering what do you think are the ups and downs of working on PC as opposed to GH? ~Ashley ABCStar: The ups are making more money in half the time. Meaning I have a lot more story and a lot more fun. The down is that you have a new show which is always difficult to break in. So I would like our audience to be larger. Especially since we offer what other shows don't do. Question: Do you watch GH, and do you stay in touch with the guys from GH? ABCStar: We work right across the street from each other so we see each other all the time. No, I don't watch the show. Question: Will the General Homicide book be released in real life? ABCStar: It would have been a great idea, but I don't know who could have written it. Maybe someday. Question: Do you film in CA and where is your wife filming? ABCStar: PC is made in Los Angeles. When Eileen was working on DOOL, she was in Los Angeles as well. Question: Port Charles is looking mighty good these days! How's the rest of life treating you?.... (Lynelle) ABCStar: Couldn't be better! Everything I've ever wanted is happening. Remember, the journey is the destination. Question: How hard was it to transfer from one show to another, without getting confused? ABCStar: It was very easy because we were shooting GH and the first episodes of PC at the same time. And, we were playing the same characters so it wasn't like anything new was being thrown at us. Question: Jon, I wanted to tell you I love your new hairdo. ;-) Was that a personal choice or does it reflect a change in your characters personality? - -- Cheryl ABCStar: A little of both. I wanted to cut my hair so I decided to make a change in my character's personality. Question: Hey! Your show rocks! Is there any chance that that baby is alive? Kate from Bflo, Ny ABCStar: That question will be answered in the very near future. Question: Jon, you are great on PC and GH, I would like to see Kevin stay away from Lucy and get with Eve, any chance of this? ABCStar: First, you are in the minority. And sure, that Eve is pretty sexy, you know. Question: Jon, I'd like to know if you would like to play Ryan on a full time basis? ABCStar: I did that on GH. There is only so far a character like that can go. Question: How is Eileen doing? Bee from Mass ABCStar: Eileen is just terrific. Couldn't be happier. She's surfing out there with the best of them. Question: Of all the people you work with, who do you feel makes it more fun for you to work with and who makes it more serious? ABCStar: You have to remember that they call it "playing" a scene. Anyone who is any good knows you have to have a sense of fun. We all have a great time. Kin Shriner is pretty funny. Question: Is Nicholas Pryor as great a person as Victor tries to be? ABCStar: Victor could never be as great a person as Nicholas Pryor is. It is a real blessing to work with someone with his experience as well. Question: Jon, would you like to someday work on an acting project with your gorgeous, equally talented wife? ABCStar: Sure. We are always looking for something. Any ideas? Question: How long do u plan on staying on PC? I think you are a really terrific actor!! :) ABCStar: I have at least a year and a half left. We'll have to see then. Question: What changes would you like to see in what your character does? Misty from DC ABCStar: I think it is time for Kevin to get really ticked off. He needs to lose control and let it out. ABCStar: We have time for one more before Jon gets called away... Question: Does Lucy really like the pet duck as much as she acts on the show? ABCStar: We all love the duck. The duck is probably the best actor we've ever worked with. We're all a bunch of suckers when it comes to furry creatures. ABCStar: This is ABCTim again. Jon just got called back to the set. Jon wanted to say thank you for joining him online and thanks for watching the show. Have a great weekend everyone! >> Regina - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 01:00:46 EDT From: TC8870@aol.com Subject: K&L: K&L "A Little Game of 'What If" (includes small spoiler) I'm such a troublemaker :-) "What if" Scott & Lucy do sleep together? Kin Shriner has implied in SOD that something possible "occurs" between Scott & Lucy. Kevin & Eve are suppose to get close and share their grief when they think that Scott & Lucy have perished in a fire. I cant see Eve & Kevin in bed major gag fest...but Scott & Lucy, given the their past, the tension and the possibility they might die....Its the oldest trick in the soap book and the PC writers have definantly laid the foundation..... So what if they did? It would almost guarantee a K&L reunion because this plot is usually followed by the "Who's the father ?"plot. I can see Kevin relieved that Lucy is alive, pledging his love to her and hoping they get back together. Lucy is hesitant because of what happened between her and Scott *who realize it was mistake, resolve their differences and move on remaining friends* But Lucy does love Kevin, this is what she been hoping for and they reconcile. Everything is fine until a couple of weeks later when Lucy finds out she's pregnant. Shock & horror I never saw that coming! LOL. Dont misunderstand me--I dont want anybody sleeping with the wrong people. I want Kevin & Lucy to have their own baby (preferably twins) and deal with the issue of high-risk pregnancy and/or the insanity gene as well as their own baby to love. I'm so ready for Kevin to become a Dad.... But you sorta have to admit its would be an "interesting plot" given the players. Here's a "What if" scenario: Kevin & Lucy have reconciled. Scott & Lucy decide to keep what happened between them. Scott & Eve start down the road of romance or perhaps we get a Chris/Eve/Scott triangle. A month or so later, Lucy finds out she's pregnant but isnt sure who the father of her baby is. Does Lucy tell Kevin the truth, hurting him and possiblily losing him not because she slept with Scott but for not being honest?. Would Lucy confide in Ellen her situation thus strengthing the Ellen/Lucy friendship. What if Scott suspects he's the father. Will this put him & Lucy at odds again? What if Scott demanded that Lucy tell the truth *or* quietly step aside and let Kevin believe that only he is the probably father because the stress & strain is just to much for Lucy & the baby. How would effect his relationship with his daughters & Eve? If there is a triangle going on between Chris/Eve/Scott what if Chris found out and used it to break up Scott & Eve. How does Kevin react to all this? That the child he's bonded and is in love during this pregnancy may not be his.....What if, once Kevin can work past the hurt and disappointment stands by Lucy making them even closer and they decide regardless this is *their baby*. What if the paternity test say that Scott is infact the child. Would Scott allow his son/daughter to be raised as Collins giving up paternal rights and be settled with the role of Uncle Scott? Or would Scotty from the old days come up swinging refusing to be cut off from his child.? I could easily see Kevin loving this child regardless if he was the biological father or not. It would almost be like Edmund & Maria on AMC. Maria slept with Dimitri, got pregnant..kept quiet at first until she had some test done and thanks to some tampering was led to believe that Dimitri was the father. She eventually told Edmund the truth who reacted badly but came slowly came around and shared in the joy of the baby and then a bunch of other stuff happened.... This type of scenario would always keep the tension and the lives entwined of Scott/Lucy/Kevin--which are what soap writers live for and affects alot of people. I absolutely hate the stories that have paternity in question but if Kevin & Lucy could go through this together and come out stronger then I could stand it. What I couldnt stand is the reverse--Eve & Kevin sleeping together and Eve become pregnant. It would be too much a slap in the face to Lucy and the fans--once again their is a baby that Lucy claim as hers. Eve doesnt seem at a point where she wants a child where Lucy wants one very badly.... Just a few rambling thoughts I had in my head and thought I share with the group. Go, talk amongst yourselves LOL Tanya.... Kevin: (about Lucy to Eve) "I can hardly breath without her" 9/98 - - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 16:37:29 EDT From: TC8870@aol.com Subject: K&L: Spoilers (regarding Kevin, Lucy & Scott) Speculation.... Space for spoilers hope that this is enough space :-) * * * * I hate to be the bearer of bad news but better to hear it from a fellow K&L lover then out in the soap streets LOL. Kevin finds out from Gail that the bodies were Lucy & Scott. Despite the hurricane, Kevin goes down to Florida with Victor to find Lucy & Scott. Jon Lindstrom says its the shock of really losing Lucy that forces him to see what important--her. Meanwhile Lucy & Scott take refugee in an old mansion where Lucy gets beamed on the head and has bizzare dream with a Wizard of Oz Theme which involves her dilenma over her feelings about Scott & Kevin. October 5: Lucy & Scott get passionate.Kevin gets a shock. Scott confesses his feelings to Lucy. My guess/speculation is that Kevin is going to be the victim of "you dont know what you had till it gone." Lucy & Scott rekindle their romance which is the obvious sign that its truly over between Lucy & Kevin (for now) and Kevin will probably end up on the rebound with Eve *gag*. I may have to go on a PC sabbitcal till everybody is back where they belong.... Tanya - - ------------------------------ End of kevin-and-lucy-digest V1 #65 ***********************************
