Hello.  My name is Karen.  I've been reading net.tv.soaps for several
months.  Now that there are so few postings, I felt it was my responsibility
to pay you guys back for all the soaps I kept updated on.  I can't 
contribute too often, as I rarely get home for lunch.  But here's what's
happening right now on AMC.

Tad decided to leave town again to go to Las Vegas.  But Hillary stopped
him and realized she was definitely in love with him.  She promised to
tell Bob that night that they were through.  Tad went home and told his
family what had happened.  They were thrilled.  When Hillary tried to
tell Bob that she couldn't marry him, he was very distracted and wouldn't
pay attention.  Finally, he told Hillary that he had a fatal blood
disease and could only live for less than a year.  Hillary decided to
marry Bob instead.  

Now that she changed her plans, Phoebe had to know why.  So Hillary
told her about Bob's illness but made her promise to keep it a secret.
Phoebe told Hillary that it was a mistake to marry Bob and she should
reconsider when she calmed down from the shock.  But Hillary is
adamant.  When Tad found out that Hillary would no longer marry him,
he confronted Bob and accused him of telling Hillary lies or stories
to make her stay.  He said "What did you do, tell her you were going
to kill yourself if she left?"  And Bob just sort of smiled and
replied "Somthing like that."  But Tad told Bob everything about how
he and Hillary were really in love and that Hillary had decided to
marry Tad before she spoke to Bob that night.  Bob was very hurt.
After Tad left, he went over to talk to Hillary, but she refused to
listen to him and told him to leave.  He told her that he had told
Bob about them.  Hillary was worried, but later that night she told
Bob that Tad was lying and made the whole thing up to hurt them some more.

There are 2 bad guys on AMC.  The judge is now running for Governor.
He asked Palmer to make an endorsement speech for him.  Of course Palmer
agreed.  The judge has gotten some thugs to try to kidnap Brooke and
Tom's baby.  One got into Tom's house, but Donna alerted Benny (who
was visiting) and the two of them got the gun from the guy.  Benny
shot at him, but the kidnapper got away.  Tom and Phoebe decided that
the baby would be safer at Phoebe's house.  Phoebe hired guards
for the grounds and inside.  But then - big mistake - the judge came
over to visit and she told him about the plan.  He suggested that
instead of hiring private guards, let him hand pick policemen to
stand watch.  She agreed.

The other bad guy is Zach.  He's blackmailing Palmer with photos of
Nina in bed with him (she was drugged).  He's also blackmailing
Ross and Cynthia for their liason in New York.  Daisy had the
superintendant of Zach's building let her into Zach's apartment
to "look for a diamond earring".  She looked all over for the photos
but didn't find anything.  Zach came home and found Daisy there, but she
used the earring excuse and got away.  Later, she went to bed with  
Zach, and while he was asleep she found the photos of Nina, but
I don't know if she found the ones of Cynthia (I hope she did).

Cynthia's son found out that Zach was blackmailing her.  She told
him that it was because Zach saw Ross and her in a restaurant in
New York.  He didn't believe that Cynthia would be so scared over
something that trivial.  Cynthia got upset that her son found out,
so she raced home, ran into the living room and went to Palmer's
gun cabinet.  Erica was in the room at the time, but Cynthia
didn't see her.  Cynthia reached into the cabinet, grabbed a 
pistol and shouted that she was really angry with someone.  Erica
assumed it was Palmer, so she screamed.  Palmer ran into the room,
but Cynthia explained her actions away as wanting Palmer to teach
her some more about shooting.

Later, Cynthia went up to confront Zach with a better offer than
just the blackmail money.  Just as they were discussing things,
her son shows up at the door and demands to know why Zach is
blackmailing Cynthia over something so stupid.  Zach tells him
that his mother obviously didn't fill him in on all of the
details after the encounter in the restaurant (i.e., the encounter
in the hotel room).  So Zach kindly fills him in, and Andrew
is outraged.  He leaves after informing Cynthia how she disgusts him.

Erica is planning her wedding.  She asked Ellen to be her matron
of honor.  I didn't see how this wedding came about, but Erica
is planning on having a "small, intimate affair" at the Chateau.

Well, that's all I can remember (I saw one episode last week, and
one this week).  I would like to make a comment - someone is
definitely going to kill Zach.  It could be Daisy, Cynthia, Andrew,
Palmer, Cliff's sister, Cliff (if he finds out about the pictures),
or maybe even Nina.  He's really in deep.
