First of all, thanks to the readers for making 'RTSB' the top rated blog in the SONBC ratings for two straight weeks! This week, 'RTSB' fell to a 2.3 rating, but still had over 600 viewers- AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Since the episodes have been posted at 'off' times, I'm going to try to put out a schedule each week so everyone is aware of the times & pre-emptions of episodes in advance. I'll do my best to stick as closely to this schedule as possible.

Monday (today): Between 7-8 PM today's episode should be up

Tuesday: Again, sometime in the evening, probably between 6-7.

Wednesday: Pre-Empted, though Thursday's Thanksgiving episode should be up late Wed night

Thursday: Late Wednesday night, probably around 11

Friday: Afternoon, around 2 PM

And since I've been so quiet and nobody knows any story details except the people inside my head, I've decided to release some information this week, for the first time.

First off, Kelly Capwell will be back in time for Christmas. But who will be playing the role? Not Eileen Davidson, I'll tell you that. Robin Wright Penn also declined our offer to return as Kelly. So it's back to the drawing board at 'RTSB' - we'll be considering SEVERAL actresses of the part. Anyone you'd like to see play Kelly? Post any suggestions you might have as comments HERE!

There has been some concern about early reports that Judith McConnell's Sophia will be exiting the canvas. Rest assured, that will NOT be happening. There is a very big storyline planned for Sophia, CC, Pamela, Elizabeth, and Edmund. Up until now, that storyline has been in the set-up stage. This week, things will start moving, with Pamela discovering a secret Sophia has been keeping from her family. I hope those that are interested in the CC/Sophia coupling will keep reading. I'm going to frustrate the hell out of you, I won't deny it. But the payoff will be worth the agony. Promise

Cruz & Eden's story has been moving rather slowly as well. There is a reason for that. Right now, their story is Cruz's investigation and has been more centered around him. In the coming months, that will change. There will be a HUGE event in late December/early January that will change their lives forever. At that point, Eden becomes the primary focus of the story and it will be very much on the front-burner.

Kelly won't be the only character returning for Christmas. Look for a few other familiar faces to pop up for the holidays.

For those of you that remember Mason/Mary & their history, certain aspects of it have not been mentioned. Trust me, I remember exactly the state Mary was in when she died and all of her story points will be addressed. Also, for long-time fans, you may have noticed that Mark McCormick has been mentioned in the story & by me in my correspondance. But Mark's bones were found years ago, during the Hal Clark investigation, right? Trust me everyone, I know my SB history and any story I do will address that history. Mark McCormick will be no exception.

Some final story teasers: Lionel & Augusta appear Wednesday & Friday of this week for our Thanksgiving episodes. Wednesday & Friday are big days this week- NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!!

Again, thanks everyone for the support & keep reading!!! I love seeing your comments & am thrilled that everyone seems to be enjoying 'RTSB' so far. In the next few weeks, the plots will be moving FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!!! Stay tuned.......
