BEST & WORST of 1993
Best Quadrangle - Roger/Jenna/Buzz/Nadine, Guiding Light>
Roger and Jenna...Jenna and Buzz...Buzz and Nadine...who belongs with who? Sparks fly whenever Jenna and Buzz are together, but Buzz and Nadine have chemistry, too, plus a history that includes two children. Jenna gave up Buzz to marry Roger, but she feels betrayed by her husband and wants a divorce. Roger doesn't want to let her go, and Jenna loves the fact that he needs her so much. Still, she's clearly attracted to Buzz. Nadine wants Buzz back. The characters have all made big mistakes and paid dearly for them, but we can't help but feel compassion for them when they screw up again. We don't always know who to root for, but Roger, Jenna, Buzz and Nadine are always compelling to watch.

Baby On Board!
Traveling with infants can be very trying sometimes---just ask Fiona Hutchison (Jenna), whose Bi-coastal marriage to John Viscardi (ex-Tony, ONE LIFE TO LIVE) has her and son Hutch, 9 months, flying across the country every other weekend. Here, Hutchison shares her secrets for keeping babies happy mid-flight.
Give Them A Drink - "Babies should be swallowing a lot during takeoff and landing, because if they're not, then the pressure will build up in their ears, and that's when they scream blue murder. Make sure they have a bottle, not a dummy [pacifier], because dummies don't make babies swallow."
Let The Music Play - "I don't know if all babies repond to music, but Hutch really does. I put on his headphones and he bouces to the beat, which tires him out, and then he takes a nap."
Dress Them In Layers - "Flights can get chilly, especially long flights, so having more clothes can keep the baby comfortable."
Turn To The Flight Attendants - "They're often quite helpful. More often than not, they take one look at Hutch and ask if they can take him for a stroll down the aisle!"
CBS Gossip - Flight Of The Non-Intruder - Although many celebrities would sidestep Howard Stern's sidekick, Stuttering John, Fiona Hutchison (Jenna) recently bonded with the jokester, who's famous for asking embarrassing and often rude questions. "The last friend I made was Stuttering John's wife," the actress explains. "She and her husband were flying out for the Private Parts premiere, and they had a little girl who was the same age as, [Hutchison's son] Hutch, and they played all the way to L.A. More often than not, when you have a baby, you're drawn to others with babies and you make friends."

"Harley had to wait forever to get her father back, and now he's in love with this woman and has a child with her. Harley is so jealous, she's losing her mind, so this is how she deals with it.

Paradoxically, the two women will end up bonding in the cellar. After Jenna explains that she dumped Buzz to protect him from Jeffrey, Harley's attitude softens.

Credit Check
Guiding Light's Fiona Hutchison (Jenna) has noticed that because of increased demand for talent, soap actors can now dip over to primetime more easily than ever before. "Because of cable and more networks starting up, the bridge between all kinds of TV shows has gotten shorter," Hutchison affirms. "Soaps are a more known quantity; the actors have greater name recognition now. Daytime is not the secret club that it used to be."
Soaps' Most Beautiful Women - Fiona Hutchison (Jenna, Guiding Light)
How do you feel for being chosen for this feature?
"It's a wonderful compliment. I'm sure everybody would love to be picked---if they were being truthful to themselves---but it's really not easy to talk about. I don't know what to say. The only thing I consider beautiful about me is my family.
What perfume makes you feel scentsational?
"I don't wear perfume a lot, but when I do, I really like Anaïs."
Have you had any hair disasters?
"I've done all sorts of dastardly things to my hair in the last couple of years. I'm lucky that it hasn't all fallen out. But it's come close!"
Do you have any beauty tips to offer?
"I believe in drinking water and splashing it on my face every chance I get. If it works for plants, it might as well work for us."
What beauty advice did your mother give you?
"My mother always said, 'Darling, don't leave the house without lipstick on.' Of course, I always walk around with absolutely no makeup at all when I'm not working. I often think, 'Oh, my poor old mum.'
Were there any beauty benefits to being pregnant?
"When you're pregnant, you must drink a lot more water and milk. You keep that going throughout breast-feeding, so for almost a year, it's part of your routine. I think it made me much better hydrated as a result. So that's a good beauty benefit, even though you really don't do it for beauty's sake."
