The Dimera House

Kristen opens the front door after hearing a knock. She is surprised and delighted to see Bo.

Kristen

“Bo, Come in.”

Bo

“Don’t mean to barge in like this. Are we alone?”

Kristen

“No one is here but the maids. I’ve missed you.” She gives him a hug. He holds her back.

Bo, pulling away from her

“Listen, we have to talk”

Kristen

“You’ve come to a decision about Hope and I? You chose Hope didn’t you?”

Bo

“No. It’s not that easy. It’s about your sister. I wanted you to hear this from me.”

Kristen

“Hear what? Which sister are you talking about?”

Bo

“Megan. Megan is claiming to be pregnant with my child.”

Kristen

“What? Bo? How? How could this happen? My sister?”

Bo

“Kristen I am sorry. I was drunk. Megan took advantage of me.”

Kristen, deeply hurt, wiping a tear rolling down her face,

“When will you find out if this child is really yours?”

Bo

“Hope and I are waiting on Lexie to call with the paternity test results.”

Kristen

“This is a hard one to swallow Bo. You have Hope, Megan and me out on a limb. “

Bo

“I didn’t ask for any of this. What you and I have just happened. Naturally. I can’t control it Kristen. I love you Kristen. I love you.”

Kristen overjoyed to hear those words from Bo’s mouth, runs up to him and holds him. He wraps his arms around her as well. They look into each others eyes, and giving into to passion Bo kisses her. He then pulls back

Bo

“I can’t do this Kristen. I am hurting so many people. “

Kristen

“I love you and you love me. Bo love me. Love me now.” She kisses him and pushes him into the Dimera living room. She begins taking her clothes off and then his. She pushes him onto the couch as they are both naked. He looks at her nice curvy body. Unable to help himself he pulls her down onto to him as Bo and Kristen have a love session in the afternoon.

Bo and Hope’s House.

Hope is in the kitchen feeding Pam and Addie.

Addie

“Where’s daddy?”

Hope

“I don’t know sweetie. (She says as she wonders if Bo is with Kristen or Megan)

Hope

“Guess what girls; I rented some movies for us to watch. Let’s go into the living room and get comfortable.”

Pam

“Ok mommy.” Hope escorts her twins into the living room. She turns her flat screen TV on and gets the movie ready to be watched. Wondering where Bo is, she dials his cell phone number but it goes straight to voicemail. She sighs.

“I’m losing my family. I’m losing everything.”

Tuscany

A waiter walks over to Kate, Justin’s and Philip’s table.

Kate

“I’ll have a water crest salad.”

Justin

“Give me the Filet mignon.”

Philip

“While you two eat your bird food, I’m going to eat like a man. Give me a t-bone, well done.”

Waiter

“As you wish sir.” The waiter walks away.

Philip

“ Salem …. I see nothing has changed. “

Kate

“A lot has changed my son. Victor is dead, Stefano is dead, and Marlena is dead. Vivian owns Salem . It doesn’t feel like the same place anymore.”

Philip

Well I knew all of that. It’s just going to take an energized go getter like myself to get this rolling. It’s time for things in Salem to be shaken up. 2010 is going to be one hell of a year in Salem . I don’t know what Vivian has on her mind, but she’s a fool if she thinks The Kirakis’s are some push over. And because my dear cousin here Justin couldn’t get the job done, I guess this task rest upon me.”

Justin

“Well Excuse me. I tried. I can’t do this by myself.”

Philip

“I can” he says smugly.

Justin

“I like to see you try. Vivian has garnered a lot of power.”

Philip

“So what does that mean? You could only nip at her heels?”

Kate

“Ok you two. Enough. This is not the way we are going to get back our empires. This is what Vivian wants. Let’s focus.” As she says that, the waiter comes back with their food. Philip’s mouth waters as he is about to dive into a piece of heaven after been served jail food for the past few years.

Justin smiles at Kate and Kate gives him a flirtatious look.

Salem Jail

Mike with April walks over to his mother’s cell.

Laura, getting off her cot is thrilled.

“Michael. So glad you came to see me honey.”

Mike

“I miss mom. How are you holding up?”

Laura

“I’m used to being confined. Nothing new for me.” Looking at April

“I see you brought my attorney. Is everything ok? Did something change?”

Mike

“Oh, no. I just thought I would let you know April and I are dating now.”

April

“I hope that is ok with you Mrs. Horton.”

Laura

“It is. I am so glad it’s just not that vial Robin. Mike I am telling you, she is setting me up to be in here.”

Mike

“Mom, please don’t. This is hard for me to deal with. I got my own mother, accusing my son’s mother of faking a fall and framing you for it. “

April

“Don’t worry; we will get to the bottom of this. It’s only a matter of time.”

Laura

“Oh I know. Liars never win and Michael you will see I am telling the truth. I have no business being here. Robin is not a good mother for Jeremy. She’s a liar and a cheat. I hope you can come to you senses soon.”

Mike

“I love you mom. Your trial is soon.”

Laura

“I’m counting the days. That’s all I have to do in here. I’m counting the days until Robin is exposed for the lying Bitch she is.”

Mike

“I’ll be back soon; I have an appointment with the board of directors at the hospital.”

Laura, frowning up,

“You have a meeting with the board? That can’t be good.”

Mike

“Very interesting to say the least. Something big must be about to happen. I’ll keep you posted.”

Laura

“I love you Michael.” Mike and April leaves, leaving Laura to ponder her thoughts of her freedom.

Hotel, Lucas and Eugenia’s Suite

Greta stops pounding Nicole’s head into the ground. She is unconscious.

Jan

“Please Greta. We have babies. Just let us go. You have to get help. I’m sorry for everything. “

Greta

“No way in hell. It’s over. This ends now.” Greta aims the gun at Jan, then at her son Bentley.

Eugenia

“Greta, it doesn’t have to end like this.”

Greta

“I thought I asked you to quit talking.” Greta fires the gun in her direction but it misses. Josh and Bentley begin crying.

Greta

“Damn shut those babies up! I can’t take it.”

Jan and Eugenia both try to comfort their sons. Neither one is getting any quieter.

Greta

“That’s it.” She fires the gun in Jan’s direction but the bullet hit’s Bentley in the back. Jan let’s out this horrible scream.

Greta screams as well

“SHUT UP MY HEAD IS GOING TO EXPLODE.”

Lucas comes too as he hears all the screaming and sees blood pouring from baby Bentley. Lucas is horrified. He’s angry. A rage is building inside him as the cries of the babies get more intense. He jumps up and grabs Greta, knocking the gun out of her hand. He begins to choke her. Pinning her against a wall, he is choking the air out of her body. As the baby cries echo louder in Lucas's head, the tighter his grip becomes on Greta’s neck.

Eugenia hollers out

“Lucas No! Stop it!”

Greta’s face is now purple and she’s making gagging noises.

Eugenia

“You’re going to kill her.”

Lucas

“It’s too late for that.” Lucas drops Greta’s lifeless body onto the floor. Greta is dead. Lucas has killed Greta!

With all the massive changes happening here on LIS, I thought it was time to release some story previews for 2010. With the recent flurry of casting cuts and newer characters coming on board, I wanted to give fans something to look forward too.

I am trying to get LIS back to family, love and romance. Those three things were seriously lacking when I came on board. Also we will be seeing every cast member have a storyline. Before I came back on board, we would only see so and so one time a month and there story was at a stand still and other stories were some what isolated. All that has changed now. We will see more of an ensemble cast feel. More character interactions to help advance story.

The major storyline on LIS right now is Vivian’s take over of Salem. Almost every single storyline and character will be woven into this umbrella plot. This story is being used as a launch pad to begin new stories and to showcase characters we have not seen in a long time. Vivian just about owns everything in Salem and it’s now time to see the deziens of Salem take back what’s rightfully theirs. There are a lot of surprises in store for this plot. It’s really going to bring the families of Salem to the forefront and play out for some time to come.

Another big storyline I am showcasing right now is the love triangle of Bo/Hope/and Kristen. This story was set up the last time I was CO HW and I am so happy I get to play it up upon my return. This story has so many angles and so many twists but I want to assure the readers of one thing: Kristen will NOT be the villain in this one, nor will it be Hope. Also there is another character coming back to Salem that will blow this story right out of the water. Stay tuned for that.

In an effort to par down the cast and broaden the story base, another round of cuts will take place VERY SOON. LIS was extremely bloated when I came back. A lot of these characters were non essential players and it drained the story base.

Also to help build up the families in Salem; since LIS has said goodbye to icons like, Marlena, John, Stefano, and Victor to name a few, I am bringing back some cast members that I am sure will make readers happy. These characters that will return will help the story base and compliment what I have in place.

One last teaser, 2010 will be the year of the Hortons. They will be front and ceneter.

It’s going to be an exciting ride teases HW ML Cooks.

Downtown Salem, City Jail

Kate is escorted to her son's jail cell. She sees Justin with Philip already waiting for her.

Philip

"How did I become so lucky? I haven't seen any of my family in years and yet here we are today. A family reunion."

Kate

"It's nice to see you again my son. I wouldn't be so coy. You have no idea what I had to do to spring this into play."

Justin

"Well I am sure it was appreciated." He says flashing her a smile.

Guard

"Philip Kirakis, you are free to go." The guard says as he unlocks Philip's cell.

Philip

"I thought I would never hear those words. It feels so good." He says stepping out the jail cell.

Kate

"Let's all grab some lunch. I am sure you could use a good meal. We can go to Chez Rouge."

Justin, enjoying the thought of spending time with Kate

"A great idea."

Philip

"And we can talk about this non sense about Vivian Alamain. She will not take what's rightfully mine. And she's going to learn that real quick. I'm back Salem. Philip Kiriakis is back on deck."

Episode 449 Back on Deck

Executive Story Consult: Tara Smith

Hotel, Valentine's Suite

Nicholas Alamain knocks on his aunt's door. She opens it.

Valentine

"Nick good to see you come in."

Nick

"Don't mean to barge in." He says as he enters and sees Andre.

Andre

"Hello Nicky. You're not interrupting. I have some errands to attain too." He walks over to his wife Valentine and gives her a peck on the cheek.

Andre

"I'll call you sweet cheeks."

Valentine

"I'll be waiting." He then leaves. She looks at Nick.

"I already know. You want to talk about the scarecrow, Vivian?"

Nick

"I need an answer. Are you going to join me in taking down your sister? You are the one who really holds all the cards. You wield so much power right now."

Valentine

"I know." She thinks of how she knows Vivian really set Peter up to die.

"I do hold a lot of power. And trust me when I say nephew, Vivian will not get away with this. This merger will not take place. If she merges Titian, Dimera, and Alamain, we will have nothing. I might have to bag groceries. And with the unemployment rate at a whopping 10 percent, I can't risk any chances. I'll be damned if my dear old sister will win against me this time. She has always tried to best me. Out do me. Control me. Not this time. It's time to show her that it's out with the old and in with the new."

Nick

"I love when you get passionate about something. It only means we are going to win. I know you well enough to know you don't stop once you get started."

Valentine

"Indeed. Nick the answer is yes. I will join the war against Vivian Alamain. I have several trump cards I am holding. "

Nick

"Like what?"

Valentine

"Got to keep them close to my chest for now dear nephew. In due time, when the time is right." She says with a smirk, leaving Nick to wonder what Val has up her sleeve.

Salem University Hospital, Lexie's Office

Hope sits on a couch as Lexie walks out from her desk and sits next to her.

Hope

"Thanks for speaking with me. I don't mean to interrupt your work."

Lexie

"Hope, you're a dear friend to me. You know I am here for you. "

Hope

"It's a strange world we live in you know."

Lexie

"What makes you say that?"

Hope

"I mean here we are, you're Megan Dimera's sister, who is claiming to have Bo's baby. Yet here you and I are, chatting."

Lexie

"Hope, you know I am nothing like my sister. I mean I did dive into my Dimera roots at one point in my life and I would never do that again."

Hope

"Oh no Lexie. It's not about that. I am so stressed. Maybe I don't even know what I am saying."

Lexie

"I don't know what Megan is thinking. I mean, where has she has been all this time. I haven't seen her around town. She never let me know she was pregnant. "

Hope

"It does really sound far fetched. But once these test results come out, we can move on like Bo says."

Lexie

"Do you think this is Bo's child?"

Hope

"I really don't know Lexie. And on top of that, I suspect he and Kristen may have done things they shouldn't have on Padre Island."

Lexie

"What makes you say that?"

Hope

"He was acting very strange. Like he was guilty of something and trying to cover it up by being too nice. Oh God, Lexie, I don't think I can take much more of this. It's getting too much for me."

Lexie

"You're not thinking of using drugs again?" There is a long pause. So long Lexie is stunned that Hope has not responded yet.

Hope

"I have urges Lexie."

The Horton House

Abe is having a session with his physical therapist. Abe is standing by himself for 5 minutes at a time now.

Abe

"This really feels nice."

P/T

"I bet. You have really been pushing yourself. I don't want you to over do it to soon though."

Abe

"I am sick and tired of being in this damned wheel chair." Just then someone knocks on the door.

Abe

"Come in."

Bo walks in.

P/T

"Good looks like we can stop for the day. See you tomorrow Mr. Carver."

Abe

"Thank you."

Bo

"I see you're doing real good man. I am glad to see it. We need you back on the force."

Abe

I do miss it. So what brings you by?"

Bo

"I needed some one to talk too."

Abe

"What's going on? Is it Hope?"

Bo

"Yes. No. It's so much. Abe my life has literally spun out of control. I don't know how to get it back on track."

Abe

"Well tell me what's going on?"

Bo

"For starters, Megan Dimera showed up on my door step last night claiming to have my kid."

Abe

"Megan Dimera? Your kid? Is that possible?"

Bo

"I remember one night making love to a woman who I assumed was Hope. Megan had all the details down. So yes we had sex. But this baby part… Throwing me for a loop."

Abe

"Well she is a Dimera. We all know how they operate. So I assume you got a paternity test done.

Bo

"Lexie is going to call when the results come in."

Bo tenses up upon hearing his ex wife's name. Bo notices

" I didn't mean to bring her up."

Abe

"No no, it's ok. Is this Megan Dimera the only issue?"

Bo pauses, as he thinks about it. He thinks of the two times he made love to Kristen. He also remembers when Kristen told him she loved him when they got back from Padre Island.

Abe

"Bo what is it? Something is really bothering you."

Bo

"I'm cheating on Hope"

Abe

"What? With who?"

Bo

"This is the crazy part. You will never believe this."

Abe

"I won't know until you tell me Bo."

Bo

"Kristen Blake. Kristen and I are having an affair."

Abe

"Bo,….I'm at a loss for words. How in the hell did this happen?"

Bo

"Kristen and I become close after Hope left town and went to Pasadena. I helped Kristen deal with the rape. We just connected and it led from there and we haven't been able to stop. I haven't been able to stop. She loves me Abe. She told me she loved me."

Abe

"You are in one hell of a mess. You are messing with two Dimera's. You better be careful Bo. Never trust a Dimera. They are no good. How are you going to deal with this? What about Hope?"

Bo

"Honestly Abe, I just don't know. I have no answers. I'm so caught up."

Saint Luke's Church, Cemetery

Kristen has a white rose in her hand as she walks over to Marlena's grave. She lays the rose down.

"I thought I come see a good friend today. It' so hard to believe that you have been taken always from us so soon Marlena. I wish we could have been friends a lot sooner. You really are an angel. You were there for me after Vince raped me. You saw there was another side to me. You befriended me, forgetting all of our past history. You put all that aside for me and I will always be forever grateful. I hope you are happy and looking down upon us with a smile on your face." She wipes a tear from her eye. She thinks of Bo.

She continues to speak to Marlena's tombstone.

"I've done it again Marlena. I have hurt some one. Something I swore that I would never do again. I didn't mean too. It just happened. I love Bo. I can't help myself. I am trying to be mature about it though. I think you would be proud of me for that. I'm not using trickery to come in between Bo and Hope. Granted I am sleeping with him, but I told Bo the choice is his. I will not stand in the way. I told Bo how I feel and that I love him. The ball is in his court. I will not be the one to tell Hope about our affair. I'm really a changed woman Marlena. I hope you know I mean no harm." Kristen then leaves, while still thinking of Bo.

Hotel, Lucas and Eugenia's Suite

Eugenia and Jan with their sons look at Greta in shock. She has two guns pointed at them. Greta growls.

Jan

"Please Greta, we can get you help. It doesn't have to end like this."

Eugenia

"What is going on? Greta why are you doing this?"

Greta

"You can blame Nicole, and Jan here. I should have killed these bitches a long time ago. Jan, this is our last hurrah. The bad girls club is coming to an end tonight. I want to say thank you for throwing that rabid raccoon on me. Tonight I get my revenge. DAMN IT TO HELL WHERE IS NICOLE!"

Eugenia

"Nicole? What does she have to do with this?"

Greta

"SHUT UP. You talk too much. Nicole is trying to turn me into the cops. I will not go out like this. I will end this story my way."

Eugenia, looking back at Lucas who is passed out on the couch with blood pouring out of his gun shot wound in the arm

"Please we have to help Lucas."

Then the door bell rings.

Greta

"Good that must be Nicole now." Standing behind the door Greta opens the door. Nicole enters and then out of no where Greta hit's Nicole in the head with one of the guns in her hand. Nicole passes out immediately to the ground. Greta, in a fit of rage jumps on top of her and continues to hit her in the head with the gun. Eugenia and Jan are horrified as their babies start to cry, having to be subject of this horror show. Greta begins to laugh as she pounds Nicole's face into the ground Eugenia and Jan wonders what fate awaits them.
