Heaven help us!! I know that this show can't be House, but please, can one of these friggin writers google bone marrow transplants before they put stuff out there. Chloe can not give bone marrow to Kate because she has a history of having a hematological cancer (leukemia).


Here I'll even help them.

Here is another point that I want to put out there.

There are over 20,000 types of bone marrow, so the average person has a 1 in 20,000 chance of finding a match. But yet, there is Kate's convenient bone marrow donor just standing a foot away from her bed. What are the chances??


Plus, didn't Chloe tell someone that she is still taking medication to keep her body from rejecting her own bone marrow?? So how in the world is she just going to open up the veins and just let it flow? This is exactly the type of crap that pisses me off about this show. They have no respect for people who are battling this sad illness and they are using this as a plot device so that it gives Daniel the excuse to feel up Chloe during an exam. :soapbox:

From "anonymous". Thanks so much!

For the week of December 1st:

---Miraculously, it appears that Nicole is still "pregnant." After learning she would never be able to conceive another child, she bought fake pregnancy padding. Meanwhile, EJ was trying to get the truth out of Dr. Baker. No go. Dr. Baker told him he had to ask Nicole. How long will her secret remain safe? Brady was shocked to find her still pretending to be pregnant, EJ was still pressuring Dr. Baker and Stefano wanted her to see his personal physician. To make matters worse, Rafe (who was sneaking around the DiMera Mansion) saw her readjust her "belly." Things are not looking good for Nicole.

---Sami learned that Rafe had done some digging and now understood why she was afraid to raise her baby as a DiMera. Later, Rafe found the medal from the convent. Sami begged him to take her back and he reluctantly agreed. Sami learned more: the Holy Cross had helped Rafe in his past. Unfortunately, he wasn't about to let Sami see Sister Theresa alone. When a homeless man entered, Rafe freaked. He rushed Sami back to the loft and told her they weren't going out again. But crafty Sami had taken a pamphlet with Sister Theresa's phone number on it. Sami softened to Rafe when he arranged for Hilda to bring her a Christmas tree and new photos of her kids.

---Kate knew something was up when Daniel looked unhappy at her welcome home party. She was right. The bad news? Her cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and bone marrow and she needed a transplant. All of her family members were tested as donors. Daniel and Philip insisted they weren't giving up. Daniel gave Kate a Christmas ornament.

---Chloe was beyond thrilled when Lucas proposed; when they learned about Kate's relapse and went to the hospital, however, she slipped off the ring. Later, Chloe got a big surprise: she is a match for Kate. Daniel had even found a way that she could be a donor, but Kate refused when she learned it could harm Chloe. Chloe insisted and Kate gave her blessing to Lucas on his upcoming nuptials.

---Melanie got a visit from her new boss, Philip, who gave her a long list of tasks. She promised to deliver. Stephanie was shocked to learn Philip had hired her nemesis, but was impressed when she got his reasons why. She gave him a sweet hug – and a kiss. Philip was not as receptive to Melanie's attempt at a hug and this put her in a bad mood. Maggie noticed. All Melanie would say was that she wanted to get to work and prove what an asset she's going to be to Titan.

"Dena doesn't care about the rich history of the show, which is evident in what she writes. She wants to write stories that she thinks are interesting but nobody else does."

Do SN and MBE even have contracts? Weren't they up earlier this year? And has Deidre Hall been without one since August?

And are the other actors' paycuts gonna affect their actual 'work time'? In other words, will they have lower guarantees at the same rate or same # epis for reduced wage? And btw, I think they at NBC have Sweeney over a barrel re DOOL-- the host of Biggest Loser show is clearly replaceable-- the only people that are not are Michaels and Harper.

I am telling you, it will almost be a relief when Jan 23 rolls around and I can just de-Tivo this mess.

Also, since I am at this point utterly random, why haven't the DHs spoken yet? Just confirms from their publicists-- seems strange with all the mainstream media attention coverage it is getting. Are they seriously gonna wait til they stop taping to say anything? And then, it's possible that it will all be bullshit anyway-- as it was when they did this LAST year...
