You have admired her or despised her, envied her or lusted for her. She is the WlOU character played by 'Kate McNeil She is blonde and beautiful, with cool green eyes and cold ambition. "That's her facade, that she's got it all together," says McNeil.

"We're going to find that it masks a lot of uncertainty." The first hints arrive at 9 p.m. today on WTVF-Channel 5, in the show's second episode. Last week's opener, crackling with drama and humor, introduced her. She was lured to a Chicago TV station from Tampa, where she was a news reader. Now she has to be a reporter.

The facade cracks this week, then crumbles three weeks later. And yes, McNeil says, that reflects real life. "One of the people I read about was (the late) Jessica Sav-itch. She was very much a victim of that" Considered a superb news reader, Savitch was brought to Washington. D.C and told to report on the Capitol.

She had been promoted into a maelstrom. McNeil knows the feeling. She grew up comfortably, in suburban Philadelphia. Her father is president of the U.S. Cocoa Corporation; her older sister, like her dad, went to Princeton.

In short, you can envision a Grace Kelly, only cheerier. "I wasn't too academic," McNeil says of her high school years. "I was in a lot of plays, and I was a bit wild." But she got into the respected theater program at Ithaca College, McNeil starred in As the World Turns, married soap director Roy Friedland and savored an enviable life. Like Taylor Young, she would be lured away. Now comes WlOU and a new life; Friedland stays home with their 3-year-old daughter and writes scripts.

"Now we have a backyard for Emma to play in; it's a good life." are usually re-runs of horror-movie classics. The Disney Channel has a youth-oriented double-bill on Halloween Blackbeard's Ghost at 7 p.m. followed by The CantervUle Ghost at 9 p.m. And Cinemax has Love at Stake at 7 p.m., an amusingly campy spoof of the Salem witch trials. TBS serves up a mediocre Stephen King film, Salem's Lot, about rampant vampirism in a small New England town, at 7 p.m.

James Mason is an excellent villain, but David Soul is a lukewarm hero. And Lifetime offers The Midnight Hour, a sophomoric concoction about a bunch of teen-agers who conjure up a gang of goblins. It airs at 8 p.m. Channel 4); Doogie Howser (8 p.m. Channel 2) Married People (8:30 p.m., Channel 2); and Nashville Now, (8 p.m..

The Nashville Network). Even the documentary series 48 Hours, (7 p.m. WTVF-Channel 5), gets in the spirit of Halloween, although I'm certain nobody at high-minded CBS News would admit it Tonight's episode takes a look at fears and phobias and includes a profile of a special-effects designer on a Stephen King movie who is terrified of blood. And don't forget Nickelodeon is airing back-to-back episodes of Alfred Hitchcocfe Presents (7 p.m.-midnight) all week. But the best Halloween programs By DIANE HOLLOWAY Cox News Service Children dress up in plastic costumes for Halloween and beg their neighbors for several pounds of candy their parents probably won't let them have.

A lot of adults, however, stay at home either handing out candy to little hobgoblins or sitting in an unlit house pretending not to be home. For people who fall into these two categories, television has an abundance of scary andor silly Halloween stuff to watch. Theme-oriented series will be everywhere, including first-run Halloween episodes of Growing Pains, (7 p.m. WKRN-Channel 2); Unsolved Mysteries, (7 p.m. WSMV- Today's highlights "Ml VP.
