[net.tv.soaps] AMC and OLTL

I didn't watch as much of these soaps
on Christmas vacation as I thought I would
so I have some questions and speculations.

AMC

Giles was killed.  I turned on the set just as
someone (of course you couldn't tell who this was --
hat on, either dark glasses or a scarf or something
don't remember which, trench coat -- typical setup)
pushed Giles off a landing (I don't even know where
this happened).  On a previous episode, Tom kicked
Giles out of Brookes house. Tom came to deliver
a present to Laura from his parents and found Giles
drunk harassing Brooke.  So, is the killer Tom
(dum de dum dum).  

My own speculation is that the killer is the current
love interest of Giles French ex-girlfriend.
Sorry I don't know names.

There is also some storyline involving Erica
and her boyfriend's father.  (Egads, I can't
remember anyone's name!!)
He seems to want to get Erica to himself.

And what is going on with Greg, Robin and Tad?

OLTL

Laurel is dead.  I turned this on the day
of the funeral.  I think she was hit by a car
intentionally.  Can someone give an update of
this.

Spyros is his name and he is Solange's husband.

Apparently Tad and Robin know each other from the time that Tad was on
the road and they did some things that they don't want Greg and Hillary
to find out about.

Giles was in an accident and was laid up in the hospital--Brooke went to
visit and told him to take a hike. Giles got drunk (how he did this in a
hospital is anyone's guess) and went over to B's with a bottle of champagne.
I did not see the episode in which Giles is killed, but I was given some
info about his death.  Apparently, Tom fell off the wagon and got really drunk
the night of the murder, so you know that the plot line will involve Tom
not knowing whether he did it or not.  I'm sure Brooke will uncover the truth,
and she and Tom will get back together,etc. Very stupid.

Erica and Jeremy are now free to marry, since Jeremy was released from his
vows of celibacy.  J's father (I don't remember his name, either) wants Erica
and J's stepmother wants J back again.  Neither Erica nor J are aware of this,
and both father and stepmother are doing all they can to prevent their marriag
e.  Pretty ridiculous.

Robin and Greg are still into eachother.  Nothing much is happening there.
Tad and Hilary are engaged.  Tad gave up a movie role, because the starlet
of the film said that they would have to sleep together or she would let him
go.  Tad told her to take a hike, because he never wants to hurt Hillary again
How sweet.

Laurel was killed when someone tampered with her brakes.  Everyone, except
Cassie, believes that it was Ivan Kipling.  Rob is out for blood, so he and
Cassie are not getting along because Cassie is siding with Ivan.

Just a general comment: AMC used to be my favorite soap, but the story lines
are too redundant and slow-moving these days. OLTL is, however, a quality soap
.
