SOMERSET EPISODE 26 Original airdate: 08/20/07 Written by: Steve Ungrey SCENE ONE As the music begins playing and the picture fades in, we see a shot of Susannah working at her desk and drinking a cup of coffee. Jack walks by in the hallway and takes a couple steps backwards once he realizes Susannah is in her office. SUSANNAH: (Looks up) Jack! Awfully early to see you here. JACK: I thought you were a wee bit early in arriving here. It isn’t even 8:30 yet. SUSANNAH: I’d be here a

EPISODE 25 (8/17)

The music plays in the background as we open the 25th episode of Somerset in the nurses’ lounge at Somerset Hospital. We see a half-dressed Victoria emerge from the bathroom, as she is changing out of her nurse uniform to meet Zachary for a drink. Taylor enters the room and catches Victoria looking at herself in the mirror. TAYLOR: The mirror isn’t going to crack, you know. VICTORIA: (Turns around and smiles) Who said it would?

Bid for Bachelors? MIKE: (Takes a sip of beer) Hey, Nick… remember a few years ago when you took part in this? Who bid $2,300 for a night with you that included a tour of Somerset’s wine country and an eight-course dinner at Giovanni’s? NICK: (Nods) I know, I know… and Alana and I ended up spending three

EPISODE 23 (8/15)

The 23rd episode of Somerset opens up with Victoria at home in the Petterino kitchen, reading a magazine while drinking a cup of coffee. The music softly plays in the background as Victoria flips pages. We hear a knock on the door. VICTORIA: Coming… hold on… (Opens door to see Alana) Hey there! In the neighborhood, I take it? ALANA: I figured you brought ice cream to me, so I’d return the favor. Only I didn’t have any ice cream in the refrigerator. VICTORIA: (Pointing below) What’s in t

CALLING ALL GRAPHICS EXPERTS!

Hey everyone! If you can design opening and closing titles using a program you have, I'd love to hear from you. Episode 23 is the first to feature the changed opening credits for Somerset (the one that Somerset fans might remember most of all from the latter part of the show's run) and I'd like to try to duplicate the opening and/or closing. I do have a credit crawl that can be used for the closing titles and a picture to superimpose the credits over. If no one can help, that's fine. It never

Need to play catch-up?

Hey everyone! Before regular episodes of Somerset resume, I thought I'd give the readers a chance to catch up on the month's storylines and allow newbies a chance to see what Somerset was all about before the show starts up again. When Somerset premiered July 16, the following occurred: Susannah Lucas, the daughter of former Somerset residents Sam and Lahoma Lucas, decided to move to her parents' former hometown to make a fresh start of her life. She had worked in Oklahoma City as a corp

Time to play catch-up...

(SONBC) -- Wondering why there haven't been any Somerset entries as of late? Wonder no more. The writer of Somerset, Steve Ungrey, has the answer. "I just got done flogging myself over the head for getting behind," Ungrey said. "Doing a daily blog is harder than I thought it was going to be, but I'm determined to keep it up." Ungrey's real-life job features a two-week period in mid to late August where real life intervenes and pretty much prohibits him from doing a lot of fun stuff. (Fo
