Have spent the last few days dying (and I do not use that word lightly) with the nasty vomiting bug that's going around - left work last Wednesday feeling absolutely lousy, went to bed at 8.30 that evening - having not been able to eat dinner - and was up at 2.30 being violently ill. Was in bed all day Thursday, the majority of Friday and most of Saturday. It was Sunday before I managed to get out of my pajamas! Stayed off work today just to be sure I'm 100%, so I'll be back tomorrow. (Yippee.....)

In fandom news, I see that Marcy Rylan (ex-Lizzie on Guiding Light) is joining Y&R as the SORAS-ed Abby Carlton, daughter of Ashley and Brad. (Link) To be honest, I've got mixed feelings on this - on one hand, I'm delighted for Marcy. And the thought of her possibly sharing scenes with John Driscoll's Chance makes my GL loving heart skip a beat. And since they killed off all the Carltons last year, Abby's core family will be the Abbotts (oooh, scenes with Peter Bergman please!) All that being said, I think that at 29, Marcy might be a little bit too oldto play someone who's supposed to be in her early teens (even though she looks fab. This is why I hate SORASing!!)

Also, Eden Riegel is joining the cast as a recast Heather - sounds like someone at Y&R is listening to viewer opinion!

I'm sure there's more I wanted to say, but I can't think on it now (other than I'm still trying to get used to typing on this new laptop keyboard and its driving me crazy!!!)

Sorry to hear you've been sick, but glad you are feeling better!

I'm not too sure about them make Abby so much older, but I love Marcy so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I look forward to her sharing scenes with John Driscoll as well. :)

Am delighted to see Marcy back on TV, but I really don't like that they've chosen Hope to age. If they hadn't been so stupid and short-sighted as to kill off Colleen, she would have been a great recast for that role. The problem with aging Hope is that it throws off the ages for the other kids they're not SORASing, which makes me so crazy!!
