Sorry my postings have been so sporadic.  One of my classes is an
absolute killer.  I end up writing 1,500 - 2,000 words a week.  :-( 
Just a few more weeks to go...

DOOL    -  The show is planning to age Abigail to 12 years old. 
        -  Soapcity.com has added Days of Our Lives to its download
        lineup.
        -  Days of Our Lives has cast Robert Manitopyes, a descendent of
        the Plains Cree tribe, in the role of Cree, a Native American who
        gets involved in a mysterious adventure. "He's got a good heart
        and intent, and he lives on a reserve that's very poor," shares
        the daytime newcomer. "Cree's out to save his tribe, and Bo and
        Hope stumble across the deal he's about to make with the
        DiMeras." While Manitopyes's background and his character's name
        are one of the same, the actor says it's simply a surprising
        coincidence. "I just thought they were looking for someone who
        was of Cree origin," he chuckles. "I didn't associate that being
        the character's actual name." Manitopyes, who appears in the
        movie The Core, has also taken on the role of consultant. "With
        each Native American role that comes my way, it's my intent to
        make it as authentic as possible and break any stereotypes," he
        explains. "[On Days] I'm able to give my input, and the
        production has been very generous in asking me about lines and
        things on set." The extras featured on Cree's reserve are also
        Native American. Look for Manitopyes to star on several episodes
        beginning Aug. 1.
