"Sweeping" intoTown!

Dateline: 10/16/99

Lies, Revenge, Love, and even Death.

This is what will be hitting Llanview in the upcoming month for the network "Sweeps". Each February and November all the major networks spice up all their shows, including the soaps, in order to gain higher ratings and top commercial sponsors. This can be a make or break time for some shows, which makes competition more fierce. ABC soaps will be no exception as they gear up to add some real fire to their storylines. One Life to Live's executive producer Jill Farren Phelps promised to add some real intrigue and excitement to the fall season. So here's a run-down on what viewers can expect to happen in the upcoming weeks.

- This Week's Opinion Poll -

Do you think OLTL is finally improving?

Yes, I love OLTL.
Perhaps, but still needs more improvement.
No, I don't like the direction the show is heading.
No, I stopped watching.
First on the agenda is going to be finally bringing an end to the Dorian dilemma. With R.J. still trying to cover his tracks after bribing the judge, it looks like things are not going to turn out like he had planned. So now the big question to be answered is will Dorian face a prison term?  And will his brother Hank come to R.J.'s rescue again? And finally will Tea forgive R.J. when the truth finally does come out?

However, more trouble lies ahead for Roseanne and Cristian after he learns the truth about her job, and perhaps about where and who she received her "extra" money from. Jessica will also be making a trip to NY to visit Cristian and probably tell him what she had done to Dorian. Will is also keeping himself busy, as he learns to think and act more like his new "mentor" Asa.
Meanwhile, Skye has her own plans for revenge, as she sets in motion her plan to destroy Ben and Viki. With the help of Blair and Max, who have been coerced by Skye, the three of them bring to town a shady mob boss, who R.J. also used to work for. So will Ben and Viki's love survive more trouble from Skye? And what tragic event will take place in Ben's life? Also look for AMC's Adam Chandler to pay a visit to Llanview.

Asa will be more determined to destroy any Rappaport or Davidson, especially any one of them trying to marry into his family. Asa's plan will bring a lot more trouble then even he is aware of, and it will also lead to tragic consequences.
Finally, the cold wind of November will bring home a tragic ending to the beautiful Grace Davidson. Her unexpected death will happen sometime around a terrible storm on Halloween night, and the mystery behind the unusual circumstances will be revealed during the month. Kevin will no doubt take this very hard, but perhaps with the possible return of his former wife, Cassie, maybe he can find happiness again.

The cold wind of November is at hand, and with it brings change and heartbreak to those exposed to it's harsh reality. Who will survive this turmoil is yet to be discovered, but there is no doubt Llanview will never be the same. So stay tune for further details as the month unfolds.
