Hello everyone,

Today, we kick off our Campaign for Robin Scorpio, whether you want
her back or not, it's based on principle alone. How can this
talented actress who has won Many Awards over the years be pushed
aside? I know the show is cruddy but what I can't fathom is not
hearing in the press that GH has at least attempted to lure this
talented actress back to the show. I would like to know if an offer
has been made to Kimberly and if she has accepted it or rejected it,
I can live with it. However, what I will never accept is GH nor ABC
not offering her a deal to return. Over the last few months, I've
heard other actor state ABC has come after them, most recently,
Antonio Sabato Jr, who has no ties to the canvas today and has been
gone for over 10 years.

Yet, Kimberly McCullough, who seems like she could be interested in
a return is not even offered an olive branch is mind boggling. With
her return for Lila's memorial service, the ratings were 3.4, since
then, the ratings have been hovering around 2.8 or 2.9. Like a
professional sports team, the show has to invest to reap the rewards
and bringing in a slew of newbies who have no ties to the canvas
simply isn't doing it.

So, today's campaign is getting the magazines and IIC to see our
point of view and how Kimberly and Robin's return would benefit the
show. While campaigning, I just want to add a few suggestions when
email and snail mailing your response.

The Do's and Don'ts of writing to TPTB and magazines:

1. Take t he time to write real letters and emails.
TIIC/Magazines take more stock in them.

2. Do not cc your emails, but send them individually.

3. Be specific. What do you like besides the character or
couple itself, express yourself in a positive manner.

4. Do Not use the scare tactics of I will not watch any more or
turn of the set. Be more creative and end with a positive spin on
how things could enhance your enjoyment of the show. Again, focus on
the positives rather than the negatives.

5. Most of all, just try to be as specific about what you
like. They get tons of generic emails saying, "I love this; I hate
that
letters." Tell them why.

This week's campaign should focus on bringing back Kimberly
McCullough as Robin Scorpio and how her return would benefit the
show. This way we have clear goal and expressing it to get our
viewpoint across!

Working as a team, like in the past, can accomplish so many things.
I'm still thrilled that so many participated in the SOC poll which
represent the J&R fans are very much alive and kicking! Come on
everyone, it's time to express ourselves!!!
