It seems like our real lives are more involved than our soap opera residents these days, doesn’t it?  With Katrina’s announcement about discontinuing EOS and Sage’s great rescue and commitment to keep it going, it’s given me some time to reflect on my status with EOS.  As you know I’ve contributed two columns for EOS the spoilers and SOS.  In recent months my SOS contribution has been minimal at best, as my real life has kept me from my Internet one.  As a result, I’ve come to a few decisions about my EOS future.

First of all, I want to say that I have enjoyed contributing to such a kick-ass site.  This creative outlet has been my salvation on many occasions and I’ll forever hold dear all the wonderful experiences and people I’ve met as a result of this association.  But I just don’t have as much time as I used to to devote to these columns.  Every time I’m late with the spoilers or months go by until I post a column I feel such guilt.  As much as I’d like to believe I could do it all, it’s been proven to me in many ways that I cannot.

So this is my last spoiler column.  I’ve decided to just go back to being a soap watcher (and retire the commentator in me until January 2003 at least).  I don’t want to shut the door on this and throw away the key, but with a new baby on the way (October 1^st is looming believe it or not) and other commitments, this seems like the perfect time for me to take a break.

Please feel free to continue to e-mail me with your comments and questions about AMC.  I’m always happy to correspond via e-mail (which I check daily no matter what) and dish our favorite show.  My e-mail address is baboots@hotmail.com.  Drop me a note anytime you want to know what I think or what’s coming up. 

Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer, have a blissful fall and a wonderful holiday season!

As Kendall makes herself at home at Trey’s loft, she notices that his voice sounds a lot like actor Richard Fields.

It looks like we’re getting closer to learning the real deal about Trey Kenyon (or who ever he really is).  Isn’t Richard Fields Kendall’s father/Erica’s rapist?  Don’t tell me these two are going to be brother and sister?  That’s a scary thought and just might prove that the children of Richard Fields are truly the devil’s spawn.

David searches for Maria and breaks into Wildwind in hopes of finding her.  When he’s there, he has a flashback to the time when he told Maria to disappear (five years ago).

What a strange twist to have David involved in the Maria story, but a great way to incorporate more characters.  But how will her return affect him?  This guy can’t stay away from trouble, can he?  I imagine the adrenaline rush of keeping so many secrets motivates him, but I wonder if he ever fears getting caught.

Anna is suspicious about David’s “secret”.

Trey’s Proteus files are almost discovered by Leo and Greenlee.

Aidan and Kendall bond when they are trapped at Enchantment.

Oh baby – Anna discovers she’s got a bun in the oven.

Tad is still searching for Maureen Gorman and gets hold of her medical file and a photo.

Leo learn one of Trey’s secret.

Bianca tries to get Maggie and Tim together.

Palmer reassures Kendall that her mother will accept her some day.

Brooke has doubts about her relationship until Edmund surprises her with a night of romance.

Aidan and Maria decide to crash Brooke and Edmund’s party.

Anna gets hold of Maria’s cell phone, which makes her husband nervous.

Mateo defends Tim to Hayley.

Maria explains why she was hiding and was in the Witness Protection Program.

Maggie rejects Trey.

Aidan tries to keep Kendall from finding out about his mystery woman.

Trey confesses to Maggie.

David gives Maria information about her past.

Nessa confesses.

Brooke and Edmund’s wedding is interrupted by Maggie’s disappearance.

Upon Maria’s return, Brooke will struggle between doing the right thing and being the upstanding citizen she’s always been or doing what’s best for Brooke.

The Chandlers will cut the crap (finally) and get down to the nitty-gritty with respect to their future.

The teen scene returns with familiar characters (in name only) Tim Dillon and Frank Hubbard.  Tim will be involved with his cousin Hayley and her family and may be followed to Pine Valley by his sister Amanda.  JR will learn about his inner strength and get a story of his own.  Bianca may experience love and will also get a story.

There will be a shift in power at the Chandler mansion due to the results of Liza’s illness.  Stuart, Marian, Mia and Jake are all affected.

Bianca gets a story (possibly with the return of Sarah?) and Maggie will also be involved.

Chris and Erica begin to plan their future and a new home, but it won’t be smooth sailing.

Kimberly McCullough (ex-Robin, AMC & GH) is being pursued by TPTB to return to her role as Robin Scorpio (Anna Devane’s daughter).  Sources report that the actress is in talks with AMC.

Rumor has it that the older Amanda could be brought on as a love interest for Bianca.  The search for Amanda Dillon (who will be aged to 16-17) continues.  There was no word about their parents and no confirmation from AMC.

Eileen Herle (Myrtle) is ready to close up shop and retire.  The actress is expected to leave the show.

Rumors are circulating that Jonathan Bennett (JR) is leaving AMC since he nabbed a role on the FOX pilot “Eastwick” based on the movie “The Witches of Eastwick”, which will tape in Los Angeles.  Since AMC tapes in New York Bennett’s schedule would be hectic at best.  But there has been no confirmation from AMC or Bennett’s people that he has left the show.  Since there hasn’t been much story for JR, his lack of appearance isn’t questionable.  However, if the pilot is picked up, that may change.

Remember Gloria?  She may be on her way back to Pine Valley.  Teresa Blake portrayed the ex-Mrs. Adam Chandler, and she was also involved with Tad Martin.
