October 30th Glen Times

2009-11-04T11:21:00.003-05:00

Well,folks, here it is the night before All Hallow's Eve and there's nothing scary going on in the Glen. Unless you count Charlie Prince!

You might say there's a bit of Trick-or-Treating going on, though. Mostly treats, but a trick here and there! Here's your headlines:

October 30th, 2009

Dom and Molly

A Good Start

Dom finally talks Molly into a date. And gets some unexpected company.

Dom, Molly and Amanda

Picking Up Nic

Dom and Molly meet up at Amanda's kindy to pick up little Nic. But Amanda notices something interesting about the little boy.

Kim and Amanda

Extended Care

Kim gets a bit more time with his daughter than he'd planned. But he doesn't seem to be complaining!

Travis and Jimmy Kelp

Travis: Problem Solver

Seems Jimmy and Nell are a little short on time to spend together. So Travis proposes a solution.

Richie and Rosemary

Rosemary Gets a Job

Rosemary lands herself a job, and who does she call to celebrate with her? Of course. But Richie's at Libby's when he gets the call!

Charlie Prince and Liana

Unwelcome Visitor

Ben's still away and Charlie comes knocking at the door. Just what kind of 'plan' is it he has in mind?

Liana

Anticipation

Liana's counting the minutes until Ben comes home. And marvelling that she could worry about him just the way other wives worry about their husbands.

Egan and Jessica

Their Time

At last, Jessica and Egan have an entire evening alone together. Just what they've been waiting for! Or is it?

Libby

Musings

Libby's pondering her life and her current situation. And wondering about Richie and other women!

Alex and Abby

What Have We Done?

Interesting question Abby finds herself asing Alex. She oughta know by now what she's done!

Alex, Abby and Libby

Comparing Notes

It's the first time Abby and Libby have gotten together since they both got out of the hospital. Will Alex interfere with their girl talk?

That's all for tonight everyone! Thanks once again to Stacey and our writers. Everybody remember to stay safe tomorrow night, and don't fall for any tricks! Unless you get the treats too!

England's Sam Burgess takes his cue from Russell Crowe | Sport | guardian.co.uk

"He had been planning to join Manly, the glamour club from Sydney's northern beaches whose former forward Steve Menzies was a team-mate at Bradford last season and constantly in his ear, until he received a call on his mobile in late July. "We were down in Wales playing Celtic Crusaders and I was getting a massage when the ePhone went," he recalls, revealing that he almost hung up when the caller introduced himself as "Russell – Russell Crowe from South Sydney"."

Our Towns - Robin Hood, a Hero (or Villain) for the Left (or the Right) - NYTimes.com

2009-10-26T10:34:00.003-04:00

Interesting article from the NY Times on the seventh biennial meeting of the International Association for Robin Hood Studies.

Our Towns - Robin Hood, a Hero (or Villain) for the Left (or the Right) - NYTimes.com

"Redistributional politics may be perilous political turf, but with yet another Robin Hood mega-film due out next year (the director Ridley Scott’s version, starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett), it’s clear Americans can’t get enough of the guy."

Great video clip from Glasswerk magazine with the new single "Wish I'd Been Here" from her album Calling All Magicians. Love this song! The single debuts in the UK on October 26th.

Glen Times Update Sept. 25th

2009-09-29T22:38:00.003-04:00

This is Libby and, once again, it's time for your Glen Times update. If there's a theme for tonight's issue, it would have to be 'Comings and Goings'. Terry Thorne, Dominic Maloney, and Sid's brother, Bar Harbor, are coming to the Glen. Other residents are entering or exiting new relationships. And, as always, some residents are not sure which they're doing! LOL! So, settle back and see what's going on right now.

September 25th, 2009

Bar, Sid and Kate

A Room For Bar

Kate and Sid make room for Sid's brother. but what's Sid really up to? "Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly."

Dominic Maloney

Dom is Back

We catch up with Dom, who's back in the Glen and wondering if Colin can still use him at the garage. Seems Dom just might need some money for, uh...a few unexpected expenses!

Bud and Marie

Unexpected Time Off

Bud's facing some forced time away from the job because of Dwayne's shooting. He's planning to spend it working on the new business with Zack. Or will Jessica need more protecting?

Terry and Paul

A Sad Return

Terry's homecoming is anything but pleasant. At least he has a new friend by his side.

Making the Calls

Following a sleepless night, Terry takes Paul to the airport. He's holding it together pretty well, until he gets home to the empty house.

Johnny Ryan and Jimmy Kelp

Riding the Fences at Glenridge

Jimmy and Johnny are discussing the women in their lives, and the Glen's proposed new business. Seems neither one of them is ready to change jobs any time soon!

Richie and Toni

I'll See You Around Some Day

Richie and Toni meet to discuss who gets what. It's a painful process, but it has to be done. Maybe the healing can begin now.

Travis and Toni

The Life that Was

Upset after her meeting with Richie, Toni goes to the house with Travis to get some of her things. Packing up her former life is a painful thing, but Travis knows how to make her feel better.

Richie and Libby

Facing it Head On - Part 1

The meeting with Toni was an ordeal for Richie too. He takes Libby to Coffs for dinner to escape, but it seems to follow him.

Facing it Head On - Part 2

Can a man and a woman have sex and be friends too? Richie and Libby are trying hard to find out.

Alex and Abby

Visiting a Friend

Abby's getting out of the hospital but, still feeling guilty, she drops in to see Alex Ross before leaving. Seems she'll be staying at Millie's for the time being, but will she end up staying in Alex's room?

And that's the news in our little community for tonight. Thanks to all those who make the updates possible (you know who you are). And remember, you read it here, not in that rag Alex Ross is peddling!

Libby

Glen Times Update for September 22nd

2009-09-25T11:57:00.003-04:00

Hi, everyone. It's Libby and there are a lot of interesting things going on in the Glen right now. We get better acquainted with some new arrivals (and their families!). We hear from some residents who haven't graced our pages lately, although for at least one of them, it's not good news. There are new relationships and old going on--which will probably give Mr. Jessup plenty to talk about and Alex Ross plenty to write about when he gets out of the hospital! Here's all your news for tonight:

September 22nd, 2009

Miss Peeg and Michael Stanley

Dinner at Winnie's

Toni's father has been invited to dinner at Miss Peeg's. Are we looking at the Glen's newest couple?

Sid and Bar

Living Proof

Bar finally knocks at his brother's door and Sid is annoyed--of course! Will he be convinced that he really has a brother?

Cort and Claire

To Sit in the Shade of You

Cort finally arrives home after being treated from his injuries. And after all the near-losses of loved ones in the Glen, he's ready to be closer to Claire.

Colin and Abby

Here for You

Colin apologizes to Abby. Is it too little too late, or will she allow him to be there for her?

Nonnie, Miss Peeg and Mr. Jessup

Nonnie's 'Family' Arrives

Nonnie Scott's 'family' is here. I'm sure Miss Peeg will like them, but what about Mr. Jessup?

Nonnie and Uncle Stephen Scott

Nonnie and Uncle Stephen

Nonnie's uncle comes to town with displays for her shop. As they talk about her future, Nonnie's cat, Wuss, finds a new place to prowl!

Hando, Bet, Boz and Nina

The Hang of It

We catch up with Hando at his new bartending job. He, Boz, and their sheilas seem to be doing all right.

Mr. Jessup and Uncle Stephen Scott

Too Much for Jessup

Mr. Jessup meets Nonnie's uncle, but it's not exactly a great meeting. And just for the record, Mr. J, I do NOT have three men at my call!

Travis, Toni, Bill, Sarah, Tee and Kyle

Travis Takes Toni Home

Travis and Toni are home. Well--Toni's new home. Will her new family welcome her?

Terry and Dino

Darfur

It's great to hear from Terry Thorne, but the circumstances aren't so good. Dino must tell his friend that M has been taken by rebels. Will Terry take his own advice and come home to the Glen?

Libby

Straightening Up

After everything that's gone on in my life lately, I feel like I'm finally getting things under control. And friendship plays a big part!

Colin and Raine

Regret

After leaving Abby's room, Colin checks up on the other Glen residents in the hospital. When he gets home, he finds his sister has her own problems dealing with Adam.

And that's our news for tonight! Many thanks to the usual suspects: Stacey and our writers, including B, who's joining us again following a lengthy absence. Welcome back, B!

Make sure you pick up our next issue, which will have more great news about all your favorite residents!

Libby

Glen Times September 20th

2009-09-22T14:48:00.002-04:00

Evening everyone. Libby here. It seems everyone who was involved in the recent violent incident in the Glen will survive, thank goodness! It may take awhile for some of them to recover, though, so don't forget to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

There are a lot of headlines tonight, including some new residents and some surprises, so grab your favorite drink, sit back, and enjoy your paper!

September 20th, 2009

Bill and Sarah McGee

Bill and Sarah at Their House

Travis' parents have differing opinions about furniture for their finished house. And about their son's relationship with Toni Roberts.

March and Jean

Broken Hearts Club

Dear, sweet March. Will he and Jean start a Broken Hearts Club? Or will they need it?

Bar Harbor *NEW

An Unannounced Arrival

We have yet another new resident in the Glen-Sid Harbor's brother, of all people! Just how much do these two "blood" relatives have in common? And will Sid be happy to see him?

Travis and Toni

In Sydney

The two homewreckers, er--travellers- -are back. Toni's enjoying being with Travis--and his money. Don't know how that woman could leave what she had!

Nonnie Scott *New, Mr. Jessup and Miss Peeg

Nonnie's Gifts and Antiques

Another new resident, this one having nothing to do with the Harbors. Nonnie Scott is opening a new shop in town and she gets the opportunity to meet several of the residents. Everyone stop by!

Richie and Nonnie

Richie Meets Nonnie

Nonnie Scott needs to talk to a solicitor about her new shop. Luckily, she's just met the nicest, most handsome one in all of Australia!

Colin O'Brien

Too Late?

Colin makes it to the hospital to visit with Abby. He's blaming himself for what's happened to her. Will Abby set him straight?

Bud, Marie and Abby

Some Things Are Best Done by Others

Bud senses that Abby needs someone to talk to, and Marie volunteers. She gives Abby a shoulder to cry on and some good advice, until Abby can get her friends and an attorney!

Abby, Libby and Alex

Visiting Hours

Finally, I get to see Abby! She's doing okay, but she's all torn up over what she did to Alex Ross. Just has to apologize to him!

Richie and Libby

Drinking Buddies

The only thing worse than drinking alone is being depressed alone. Since Richie and I were both alone, we worked that out!

Good Morning Sunshine

I've decided I'm through with romance. All I want is a good friend. At last, I've found the right kind of relationship and the right man to have it with!

Adam and Raine

Late Coming Home

Adam's out very late and, with all that's happened, Raine is really worried about him. When he does get home, though, something seems to be really wrong.

Zack, Robin, Julie and Cort

After the Battle

Zack is about to be released from the hospital, after having his injuries treated. But he can't go home without checking on the others first.

Egan and Jessica

A State of Confusion

It's been a week since Bud flattened Egan. His jaw's gotten stronger and so has Jessica's attraction to him. He's well enough to eat, but is he well enough for a different kind of sustenance?

Our writers have outdone themselves yet again, and Stacey gets the paper out come rain or shine, in sickness and in health-- Well, you get the picture! So, thanks to them again.

That's all our news for tonight! We want to extend our best wishes to everyone who's in the hospital right now for a speedy recovery! Everyone get well soon. We're all waiting for you to come home!

Libby

(who's now feeling more like a lioness than a cub!)
