WANTED: TAMARA BRAUN
There are a few items Tamara Obscura is currently looking for. Any clips of Tamara's time on GENERAL HOSPITAL. What I'm looking for is HI QUALITY MPEG clips. The reason for the HQ MPEG clips is because I would like to get screencaptures from them. Lesser quality just end up with broken pixels and blurred caps. So, if anyone has any of these of Tamara's tenure from 02 May 2001 - 15 April 2005, please send them in a zip file to WANTED TAMARA BRAUN. If possible, could you please provide the date the clips you're sending were from. It would help in the archiving of them in the gallery.

MAIN ARTICLE
HAS AVA GONE TOTALLY MENTAL? This week on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, Ava is rushed to the hospital. Can her domineering dad, Martino Vitali, win his daughter's freedom, or will she be treated and returned to the police station?
The In Depth Story: Primetime vet Joe Penny (RIPTDE, JAKE AND THE FAT MAN) debuts as Martino on Friday, May 2. "Joe's very funny and intense," shares Tamara Braun (Ava).
Martino's appaearance couldn't come at a better time for Ava, who is in deep trouble for shooting Hope, whom she believed to be Kayla and for holding both women, along with Steve and Bo, captive at the Vitali compound. "As you know, there are some little pills that Ava takes," recounts Braun. "The medication has something to do with her mental state, how she feels mentally and emotionally."
While being held at the police station, "it all becomes too much for her," previews Braun. Ava snaps, and as she starts convulsing, Abe phones 911, and she is rushed to the hospital. Is it all a performance to buy time, or has Ava had a real mental collapse? "She's a little bit of fruit loop," Braun teases. "There are different flavors going on."
With the possibility of a prison sentence—or stay at a mental insitution—on the horizon, will Ava be able to pull off her plan to steal Kayla's baby? "When an idea comes to Ava, she takes steps to act on it," shares Braun. "But when something else comes up, she has violent reactions.
"Whether or not she can see her plan through," she adds, "you'll have to wait and see."
