Applause, Applause   Soap Opera Weekly December 26, 2000   *For week of November 27th*   ~Hillary B. Smith & Catherine Hickland~   Talk about bad table manners. Nora's plot to trap Lindsay into 'fessing up at Thanksgiving dinner may have left a bad taste in the guests' mouths, but it provided some delicious scenes for us--thanks to powerhouse performances from Hillary B. Smith and Catherine Hickland. Granted, they didn't sling their grub at each other like last year's infamous Turkey Day food fight, but Nora and Lindsay served up deadly looks and attitude to spare in their best attempts to fake each other out.   With her co-conspirator, Sam, seated among the guests, Nora rose from her chair at the head of the table and pretended her memories were suddenly flooding back. She appeared newly empowered: Standing rigidly, with arms clenched, Smith's eyes honed on Lindsay like a warrior going in for the kill. "I saw you in that room," Nora defiantly declared. Hickland, as Lindsay, gave one hell of an impression of being caught--all slumping shoulders, eyes darting, neurotic whining ("Okayyy, you saw me"). She had us and Nora fooled, rattling off details like a sincere confession, and even letting her lips quiver oh-so-slightly. We never saw it coming when Lindsay revealed that she was making up the details Nora had just agreed to remembering. Ouch!   "You're lying through your teeth!" Lindsay yelled with an indignant rage, an undercurrent of glee at the irony of it all. With the tables turned, Smith's eyes beame glossy with defeat and simmering fury. "I was confused," she reluctantly backpedaled. Hickland leaned forward, hissing: "You don't remember a thing."   The supreme tension the actresses created made it completely plausible that Nora would then flip over the table and attempt to choke Lindsay. Swallow that!
