Okay...working now

I just sent him a P.M. telling him the same

Sounds great, ya'll! Can't wait

You, my friend, are going to win the Pulitzer Prize one day for writing so durn good, I swear to... But no, really. The aching in Sheryl's voice, the taste of the sweet potato pie, the horror flick that coincidentally described Oakdale's teen scene this past summer (), the drama....you make it all seem so real. I can't wait 'til you get a more regular schedule fixed up. Yu really are awesome and I can't wait to see what lies ahead!!!

Oakdale Digest reported to you last week that Terri Garber would be reprising the role she originated, the infamous Iris Dumbrowski. However, sources tell us that when Garber arrived for her first day of work, the writers weren't content with what they had given her to work with and subsequently sent her home. Our phone calls to the TWOO studios weren't immediately returned, but we did, however, receive this official statement from them: "It is with great displeasure that we report to you that Terri Garber will not be returning to The World Of Oakdale like previously reported. Though Ms. Garber is an exceptional actress in her own right, we were just not quite prepared for the return of 'Iris'. Ms. Garber underatands our plight and we are working with her to make an official decision regarding her return. Again, please bear with us and we thank you for your continued support." As always, Oakdale Digest will keep you posted.

You could change the name to "Monkeys" and I'd still read!! (As long as there's plenty of Springfield-ian drama!!)

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening Andy gets through talking with Roxie. We're left with the impression that he's finally broken her down. Andy grabs Emily and they go inside, leaving John and Roxie outside. Once back at John's car, Roxie blasts John for deceiving her. When is he going to follow through with his part of the plan? Roxie explains that the only reason she agreed to break up Andy and Emily was if he helped her hurt the people that have hurt her. John denies everything and Roxie quickly realizes that she made a deal with the devil. Luke comes in to find Holden and Lily sitting with Dr. Michaels. He asks what's going on with his mom now, considering her frequent visits to the shrink in the past. Dr. Michaels explains to Luke that she's not here for his mother. She's here for him. Luke blows up on the good doctor, forcing Dr. Michaels to take her leave. Once she's gone, Luke criticizes his parents for trying to send him to the loony bin just for getting too drunk and breaking his groundship a few weeks ago. Holden reveals that he knows all about Luke's incident with Maddie the other night and Luke automatically assumes Maddie told them. Lily interjects, saying that if he has bipolar disorder, he needs to seek help before it gets worse. Luke agrees to get help, but only if they tell him who told them about him. Susan excuses herself and begins to walk away, but Grant asks her to stay. He wants to ask Lisa and Emma what they wanted, but they scurry off before he can ask them. Susan enlightens him that this was their idea...for Grant and Susan to run into each other and fall madly in love. Grant laughs, but decides to himself that his bed has been a bit cold and lonely as of late. Susan notices Grant putting on the charm and calls him on it. Grant suggests that they blow this joint and offers her a nightcap over at his house. Surprisingly, Susan accepts. Mike is surprised when Katie comes into the station. Mike leaves, wanting to give Katie as much free space as possible. Jack sees her and Katie automatically starts pouring her heart out to him. Jack replies that he knows all to much what Katie's feeling and Katie remembers how Jack and Carly beat the odds to stay together, especially after Jack got amnesia. Jack tells Katie that though the two of them have very different stories, there are some similarities. Katie asks what those are and Jack points out that just like he loved Julia and Carly fought for him...Mike is fighting for her, though she loves Henry.

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening Ben arrives at Windy Falls Medical with a million and some questions for Dr. Dagar. The receptionist's shady behavior after he asks to speak with the good doctor about Chris Hughes makes Ben re-think his coming there. Dr. Dagar arrives and offers help for anything Ben needs. Ben asks if he knows why Chris Hughes was terminated and Dr. Dagar replies shockingly that Dr. Hughes was partially involved in the death of an elderly patient. After he was uncooperative during questioning, he was put on probation and terminated from their facility. Ben thanks Dr. Dagar for all of his assistance. Will returns home to find Gwen nowhere in sight. He calls and she tells him that she'll be out in a minute. She asks from afar how his talk with the Snyders went. Will doesn't know how well it went. And he's afarid that Luke will be spiteful towards him for getting his family involved, but Will reasons he did all he could do. Just then, Gwen enters with sexy lingerie and begs Will to make love to her. Will humorously asks what's gotten into her and Gwen says that in the recent weeks...in between playing peacemaker with Luke and Maddie and Gwen's new job at B.R.O., they've had no time to themselves. Will, as pre-occupied as he is, makes time to sex up his wife, though. He pulls her into a passionate embrace They lock lips and the camera pulls sideways into the Java cafe as we see Will start pulling off his pants. Lisa and Emma arrive at Java to make sure their plan is working. Susan spots them right off the bat and wonders what they wanted to meet her for. A quick scan around the Grant-less lobby has Emma and Lisa both baffled and dis-heartened. Lisa and Emma make up something and Susan doesn't fall for it. Emma finally reveals the reason they called her here. They wanted to set her up with a man they both know. Susan angrily shouts that this is ridiculous and begins to march out, but she runs smack into Grant. Barbara returns from her lunch break to find Dana snooping at her desk, scurriedly flipping through files and papers. Barbara asks the new employee what she thinks she's doing and Dana is at a loss for words. Barbara grows even agrier when Dana still doesn't respond and fires her on the spot. As soon as she leaves, a down-but-not-out Dana applauds herself on getting the information she needed as she tucks away a folder she snatched from Barbara's desk. Later, Barbara becomes frustrated when one of her employees comes in and needs a file from the 1997 Baltimore runway show (to try and contact a former costume designer) and Barbara can't find it. On the next "The World Of Oakdale": SUSAN: Quite the charmer, aren't you? GRANT: I try. ROXIE: You promised me! JOHN: I did no such thing. All of this...you did on your own accord. LILY: Baby, please... LUKE: Okay. I'll get help, but only under one condition. KATIE: You have no clue what I'm going through. JACK: Oh, but do I.

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening Will appears at the door over at Holde and Lily's. Holden is on the way out to run some errands and Will asks to speak with him. He tells Holden that he thinks Luke might be bipolar and tells of Luke's incident with Maddie. Holden is furious that his son would do such a thing, but Will informs Holden that bipolar disorder is easily treatable. However, if not treated, it could spiral out of control. He prompts Holden to speak with Lily and Luke and get Luke some serious help before leaving. Menawhile, Luke comes across Maddie at Oakdale Latin and the two lock eyes for the first time since the night Luke tried forcing himself on her. Jack and Mike run into each other at the station. Mike is wanting Margo for some advice, but Jack tells him that he can talk to him. Mike vents his frustration with Katie not being able to remember their love and while Jack assures Mike that he and Katie will make it through this, Lyla is comforting a distraught Katie. Katie frets that she doesn't know who to love and Lyla tells her to follow her heart. Emily is shocked when she stops by the apartment and finds Andy talking with his father. Andy confronts Emily, asking if she ever threatened Roxie. Emily admits she did, but never said anything about Roxie's life being in danger. Just then, Roxie busts through the door and demands Emily make a public apology. According to Roxie, she's already notified Lisa and a lawsuit is waiting to be slapped on Emily's desk if she doesn't retract what was said in the article and issue a public apology to both her and her granddaughter. Andy calms both ladies down and suggests Emily and John step outside for a moment. He's going to have a little chit-chat with Roxie. Rico asks Craig and Lucinda to sit down. Rico sincerely apologize to Craig for scaring/hurting him. He explains that he was just so distraught after Ruby died that he felt that he had to fork the blame for the accident on someone else. He guesses he just had a psychotic break. Craig wonders why Rico followed him for so long. First in North Carolina. Then in Oakdale. Rico tells Craig that he was brought to his attention by an employer, asking that a hit be put out on Craig. Craig demands to know who it was and when he finds out it was Lucinda, he jumps all over her (verbally). Margo comes in and gets the two to quite down. Margo asks what's the matter and Craig tells Lucinda to tell her or "Should I?" On the next "The World Of Oakdale": LISA: I've found just the perfect man for you, dear. SUSAN: Who? LISA: His name is Grant Hamilton and boy, is he splendid! BARBARA (to a snooping Dana): What do you think you're doing? WILL: I told his parents. I can only hope they take this thing seriously. GWEN (strutting in with sexy lingerie): You did all you could. And now...I want you to do all you can to me. BEN: I'm here to speak with Dr. Dagar. RECEPTIONIST: Regarding? BEN: Regarding Dr. Chris Hughes.

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening Lucinda is shocked when she see Margo and Craig walk into the St. Joseph's, where Rico is seeking medical treatment. She ducks behind a wall and tries to hide herself, but a nurse come out of Rico's room, saying that Rico has asked for Miss Walsh and Mr. Montgomery. Craig is baffled, wanting to know why Lucinda is there. Lucinda says that he was an old business partner and asks to speak with Rico first. Craig tells her that they will both go in together. Margo tells Craig she'll be outside if he needs anything. Though she doesn't want to, Craig forces her in the room as a groggy Rico comes to attention and asks them both to sit. He has something to discuss with the both of them. Katie walks in from running some errands and as she approaches the porch, she recalls seeing a shirtless man on her porch and making love right there...on the front porch of her cottage. Katie, overwhelmed, enters the house sobbing and Henry wonders what's wrong. Katie can't handle not knowing anymore. She just wants to see the man's face. Her head hurts. She wants to remember. Henry immediately runs out and calls Lyla, begging her to come pronto. Lyla says she'll be right over. After Emma drops the kids off with Jack, she meets Lisa for a quick coffee and muffin brunch at Java. The two women exchange questions about Dana and why she's been asking so many questions about Grant. Emma has a very bad feeling about all of it and Lisa makes a suggestion. What better way to get Grant out of their hair than to just fork him off on someone else. And Lisa suggests Susan. Emma agrees it would probably lighten their load a lot, having to always put up with Grant. So they call Susan and ask her to come meet them at Java. Then, they call Grant and ask him to meet them at Java. Emma and Lisa toast to victory and soon leave, for their plan has been set into motion. John comes by Roxie's and can't get sex off of his mind. After Roxie gives it up, they lay down and Roxie tells John that Emily came by earlier. Roxie fakes the tears and tells John that she's afraid for her life. She's afraid of what Emily will do next. John agrees to talk to Andy and leaves. Later, Roxie goes for a jog and runs right by a newsstand...chocked full of The Intruder. And Roxie's gracing the front cover with the headline: "The Slut of Oakdale, Roxie Miller: The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree". On the next "The World Of Oakdale" WILL: I think Luke might be bipolar. HOLDEN: And what makes you think that? MIKE: I've lost her and I don't know if she's ever coming back. JACK: Give her time. If Carly and I made it, you and Katie can make it too. KATIE: I just don't know what to think. Who should I be in love with? LYLA: Follow your heart, Kathryn. It's what you do best. RICO: Believe it or not, Mr. Montgomery. Ms. Walsh was the one who ordered the hit on you. LUCINDA: You believe this man? Oh come on! Don't tell me you're falling for this, dahling. CRAIG: You know very well what you did, you old bat!

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE TWOO Opening After pulling an all-nighter at The Intruder, Andy and Emily are exhausted. Emily finally was able to salvage the magazine from files saved on her computer and replaces the article about John with an article about a picket going on in Washington D.C., leaving the Roxie article in tact. Andy still doesn't approve, but Emily leaves to take it all to the press before deadline...which is in half an hour. After she successfully drops it all off, she decides to pay Roxie a little visit. Roxie answers the door in some sexy lingerie, and she asks Emily to leave because she's expecting someone very special. Emily tells her it won't take too long and proceeds to read Roxie the riot act. Roxie denies knowing what Emily's talking about but Emily leaves her with a threat...Leave her, Andy, and all of Oakdale alone or she will regret it!! Roxie, appalled, gives Emily the boot. Meanwhile, Andy goes to see John in lock-up, for he still hasn't posted bail. Andy asks his father how he can be so manipulative and expect good to come out of it. He tells his father that he's happy with Emily. For once in his life, he has found the half that makes him whole. John pleads with Andy to post bail and Andy agrees, but only if John leaves Oakdale immediately! John agrees and a few minutes later, John is a free man. Craig awakens to the warm, soothing scent of hot cocoa. Lyla gives her son his cocoa and asks Craig what he knows about this Rico Perez man. Craig says that the man followed him all the way from North Carolina to Oakdale and has been following him ever since. After he gives a brief rundown of what happened in the parking lot and what Rico said his beef with Craig was, he then goes on to thank Lyla and Margo for pulling him off the man because frankly, things might have turned deadly if they hadn't. Margo, who's been on the phone this entire time, returns and lets them know that Rico has a few head injuries but should be fine. She then delights them with the news that Rico isn't pressing charages and if the matter were to ever be brought up in the courts, Craig could rightfully plea self defense. Craig starts to feel bad about how badly he beat up Rico and along with Margo, who wants to know the full story behind Rico's obsession with her little brother, he decides to go to the hospital to speak with Rico. Little do they know that Lucinda has just arrived at St. Joseph's, asking for Rico herself. Chris comes downstairs and finds Ben talking at the table with Bob. Chris automatically assumes they're talking about him and goes off on both of them, telling them both not to judge him. Bob has no idea what Chris is talking about and demands Chris apologize to Ben. Chris retorts that it'll be a cold day in hell when he does that! He slams the door and goes to Yo's for a quick drink. Bob wonders aloud what Chris's problem is. He just can't shake the feeling that something is terribly off with his son. Ben calms his fears and assures Bob that he'll get to the bottom of it. Later, Ben makes a phone call to Windy Falls Medical Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He asks to make an appointment to speak with Dr. Dagar. On the next "The World Of Oakdale": HENRY: Katie, Katie!! What is it?? KATIE: If only I could make out his face... ROXIE: Your son's slut of a fiancee came by earlier. JOHN: What did she say? ROXIE (obviously faking distress): Oh, John! It was so horrible! EMMA: What do you have planned, dear? LISA: We need to find Grant a woman! And I know just the woman to take the bait! LUCINDA: Craig! What are you doing here? CRAIG: The same goes for you, Lucinda. What brings you to see our friend Mr. Rico Perez?

FEBRUARY: The Most Romantic Month of the Year A time for promises... ---Clip of Mike rubbing Katie's forehead--- MIKE: I'll make it up to you, I swear. If it's the last thing I do... ---Clip of Luke standing in front of Holden, Lily, and Dr. Michaels--- HOLDEN: Luke, you need to get help, son. LILY: Baby, please. LUKE: Okay. I'll get help, but only under one condition... A time for romance and "I love You"s... ---Clip of Emma and Grant talking--- GRANT: Emmy, I love you with every cell in my body. Why can't you see that? EMMA: First off, don't call me 'Emmy'. You know how much I depsise that nickname. And secondly, it's because you're nothing but a coward. A manipulative, backstabbing, egotisitical coward! ---Clip of Roxie talking with Andy as Emily watches from afar--- ROXIE: I'm sorry. I really am. Let me make it up to you. ANDY: Oh yeah?! And how the hell are you gonna manage that? ROXIE: Like this... -As Roxie leans in to kiss Andy, Emily slaps her across the back of the head- EMILY: Get your slimey hands off of him, you tramp! And a time for the colors: Pink,.... ---Clip of Gwen looking at a pregnancy test--- GWEN: No! It can't be. I can't possibly be pregnant. ....white,... Clip of Katie in a wedding gown LYLA: I never thought I'd see the day. ..and red... Clip of a huge celebration....shots ring out....screams are heard....a lifeless body hits the floor....blood runs..... Hold on to your seats, folks. It's going to be an action-packed February that will leave you breathless!!

Woot! Woot! Hahaha!! GO BLAKE!!

The World Of Oakdale: Weekend Roundup RUMOR MILL/CASTING NEWS/ETC. Despite Mark Collier's departure from the show, the actor has signed a brief extension contract with the show, leaving "Mike" in Oakdale until late February. Also, could a leading lady be leaving with him? Stay tuned. Though Kathleen Widdoes has indeed been frontburner since the current headwrite began his reign, sources say that the actress has been given a break. The show has finally founnd someone to take over the role of Grant's ex-wife and Dana's mother, Millicent. Look for an official announcement sometime next week. It is rumored that Alexandra Chando was recently spotted at a fan event and when asked about her status with the show, she had no comment. Could this mean that Chando couldn't handle being on recurring status and has left the show? Backstage gossip says that one leading man is looking to retire soon and has already quit. However, due to an exciting storyline that is expected to really take off for February Sweeps, execs are keeping their mouths shut, worried that saying anything will spoil the storyline. The show is looking to bring back a short-term character from last year on a long-term basis. ----------------------------------- Special thanks To SteveFrame for the banner!

NOTE: The roles of Sage Snyder, Faith Snyder, Parker Munson, Natalie Snyder, Daniel Hughes, and J.J. Larrabee have NOT been SORAS'd, depsite ATWT's recent SORASing of the aforementioned characters. Faith just stands there with the widest eyes. She asks why Mommy was in the shower with Daddy. Holden replies with some story about how Mommy was getting out at the same time he was getting in. Lily takes Faith into the living room and Faith asks why Luke has been so upset. She says that she heard him making some weird sound like he was angry the other night and then he just started banging around in his room.The babysitter comes to pick up Faith and Natalie and Holden tells Lily that she's probably about to be really bitter with him. He reveals that the other night, he raised his hand to Luke. He tells her that he realizes he shouldn't have, but Luke was acting so out of line and Holden's stress level combined with Luke's disprespect..it all just made him lose his cool. He's surprised, though, when Lily supports Holden and shares the same sentiment that Luke has been acting really harshly lately. They both agree that they need to talk to Luke as soon as possible about his recent behavior. Luke arrives at Will and Gwen's. Gwen welcomes Luke in. Will has gone out, but should be back in shortly. Luke asks if they have seen Maddie. Gwen says that she hasn't seen her since she left earlier this morning. Luke feels guilty about the other night...so much that he tells Gwen about it. Gwen acts surprised and asks Luke what his problem has been lately. Luke just says that he doesn't know what she's talking about. Just then...Maddie and Will enter. Will sits Luke down and says that they have known each other since they were kids. He asks if Luke trusts him. Luke replies positively and Will goes on that the other night with Maddie, Luke's behavior when Heath was in town, his out-of-this-world mood swings....he tells Luke that all signs point to bipolar disorder. Luke grows furious and yells that he has no problem! Without words, he storms out, leaving Gwen, Maddie, and Will to wonder what their next step should be. Rico tells Craig to drive now or he'll never see the sunshine again. Craig asks Rico who he is and Rico is more than happy to answer. Rico replies that he is Ruby's beloved boyfriend and he's here to seek revenge for her death. Craig had no idea she died and Rico tells him that if it hadn't've been for Craig's meddling and getting her to come to town, she would have never scurried out of town so fast and been involved in the bus crash that killed her. Craig tries to talk Rico into just letting him go, but Rico doesn't give into Craig's words. Instead, he yanks the rope around Craig's neck even tighter. He reverses hard and crashes into another car in the parking lot. The jolt from it all gives Craig the upper hand and he pins Rico the the pavement outside, before unleashing a gruesome beating on him. Margo and Lyla enter the parking lotand are shocked by what they see. Both of them rush to Craig, ordering him to stop! Emily calls the Hughes residence and Chris replies that he hasn't seen Andy. Emily then goes by Andy's apartment and he isn't there either. Emily wonders where he is and finally gives up her search, returning to the office. When she returns, she's horrified to see Andy standing in the midst of the ripped up edition of The Intruder. Emily automatically accuses Andy of doing it. Andy replies that everything was just this way when he returned to apologize to Emily. The janitor comes by and tells Emily that she had a blonde-haired visior earlier. He told her that Emily was gone, but she insisted on going in the office and "leaving her a note". Then, it dawns on them both and they immediately know exactly who it was that did this...Roxie! Chris is startled when he notices Bob and Kim walk in the door. He puts what he was working on away and addresses the recent tension between the family and himself. Bob replies that there is none and that nothing Chris could do would ever make him turn his back or look shamefully on his own son. Chris replies that they have no idea what he has been through. While Chris goes out for a smoke (a habit he recently picked up), Kim comes back down and sees Chris's laptop. After a debate with Bob on whether or not to open it and see what Chris was doing, they finally do. When they do, they're shocked and confused. Chris has been reading an article on the arrest of Dr. Rick Decker.

Holden returns home to find that Lily has not only cooked supper, but has totally cleaned up the house. Holden, who's had quite a tiring day at work, goes to take a shower and is overjoyed when Lily decides to take one with him. Holden applauds Lily for putting all her feelings aside about his new job and he thanks Lily for being the mother of his children and his best friend. The couple passionately ambraces, as they make love. Later, they're startled to open the shower door and find little Faith staring at them with wide eyes. Craig arrives at the hospital to check up on Katie. Margo asks Craig about some rumors she has been hearing regarding someone following him. Lyla overhears and panics, telling Craig he needs to leave Oakdale and don't look back if someone is trying to hurt him...or worse, his family. Craig nervously assures Margo and Lyla that he'll be alright. Later, Craig walks out to his car (all the while cursing Lucinda for opening her "big yapper") and as Craig gets in his car, Rico raises up from the backseat, holding a rope around Craig's neck and ordering him to drive....now! Dana runs over to the Snyder farm and is relieved to find Emma's car in the drive. Dana asks to speak with Emma about her relationship with Grant. However, Jack arrives and when Emma introduces Dana to Jack, Dana gets spooked and excuses herself. Jack laments to Emma that with Carly gone, he has his hands full dealing with the kids. J.J. is failing Math in middle school, Parker just got in another fight, and Sage is starting to get to the "all questions" age. Emma laughs at Jack's honest attempt to be a good father, and promises to try her best in helping her nephew with the kids. "How could you?!", Andy exclaims. Emily declares that it's too late to try and come up with something new for the cover story as she's about to go to press with it any hour now. Andy tells Emily that until she grows up, he'll be at his apartment. Andy leaves. Emily thinks he's breaking up with her again and in pure fright that she's losing Andy again, she runs out after him. Roxie arrives at the office, hoping to either sweet talk or scare Emily out of printing the magazine. She walks in and is startled to see the cover. As she reads each page of the cover story, she gets even more furious. Vowing that Emily will pay, Roxie rips up the only edition of The Intruder.

Emma meets up with Lily and hears Lily say that Carly has left for Switzerland to be with Rosanna, who has just awoken. Emma wonders what all this could mean for Craig if Rosanna returns to town. Lily then takes the time to fill Emma in on her recent dilemma with Holden/Lucinda/Worldwide. Emma calms Lily's inhibitions and gets a call from Grant. She ignores it, but later, we see it was Dana calling Emma. Dana turns to see Lisa strut into the Lakeview. Lisa spots her, too, and warns Dana that she better not be here to start any trouble. Dana assures her she's not and asks for a minute of her time. Lisa agrees, and is confused when Dana asks about her romantic relationship with Grant. Lisa enlightens her that it was nothing more than a manipulative attempt (by her father) to catch Emma's attention. Dana's curiousity is peaked and Lisa excuses herself. Dana calls Emma, but gets Emma's voice mail. "Hi. This is Emma. I'm probably out doing some chores and what not around the farm and can't quite answer my phone. So leave a message and I'll get back to you, my dear." Dana hangs up and ponders a bit. Katie, Mike, and Henry go to the hospital and learn from Ben that Katie's brain is under alot of stress and orders Katie to stay the night and "rest her thoughts". Once a nurse comes to take Katie to a room, Ben lectures the two men on trying to make Katie remember. If Katie remembers, she does it on her own terms and her own time. Later, Katie sees a familiar wing of the hospital and recalls fainting after seeing someone's finger dangling from their hand, but again, she can't make out the face. Will enlightens Gwen and Maddie that he believes Luke is bipolar. Will goes on, saying that a man he befriended during his time at the mental institution was a bipolar (among many other things) and that's how he recognized Luke's symptoms that Maddie seemed to be detailing accurately. Gwen urges Maddie to get Luke and talk him into paying Dr. Michaels a visit. Maddie reluctantly agress, but Will steps in and assures Maddie that she doesn't have to do it. He'll do it.

It's called Angry Man Snydrome. HAHAHA! Naw, I'm just playing with ya.

Maddie explains that Luke just hasn't been the same ever since he was kidnapped that time in Mexico. She tells of his constant temper tantrums, mood swings, and violent outbursts. Will becomes noticeably distracted and leaves the room. Maddie takes the opportunity to confront Gwen about what Jason said about her. Gwen grows cold and lies, saying she doesn't even know Jason Summers. Will returns with some stuff that he printed off the internet. He tells the girls that he might have just found out what Luke's deal is. Katie returns home to find Henry scouring the house for Snickers. It seems that when Henry let him out to "exercise", he went all the way and just lept out of his cage. Henry is startled when Katie recoginizes Snickers, but mistakes Henry for Mike as being the one who found FauxSnickers. Henry tries to set her straight, but Katie ultimately gets a headache and lies down for a bit. Mike walks in with Snickers in tow just as Katie starts to go lay down. The very sight gives Katie's brain an overload as she collapses to the ground in pain and tears. John arrives at Java to find Andy there as well. Andy explains that he's about to go take Emily some coffee, since she's been working non-stop on the new issue of The Intruder. Andy voices his difficulty in deciding whether or not to follow through with pressing charges against Roxie and..well, their own father. Margo advises Andy to do what he feels is right and either way, she won't hold it against him. Chris arrives in the E.R. to find Bob having a chat with Ben. As he overhears the two men talking, they notice him, too. Bob asks his son to what pleasure do they owe him for his visit, but Bob soon gets paged and has to run. Chris takes this as the perfect time to confront Ben about going behind his back regarding his dismissal at Windy Falls Hospital. Ben retorts that he did exactly what was necessary to calm his father's fears. Chris fires back that it's his own judgement that decides what is right for his father to know or not to know. Ben is shaken by Chris's outburst and excuses himself. Alone, Ben wonders what could be the reason behind Chris's recent behavior and his departure from Windy Falls. He vows to get to the bottom of it, whether Chris likes it or not.

Congratulations go out to oakdalelover. He wins the "Viewer" Of The Week title for the week of January 15th!! See the sidebar to the right for a complete list of runners-up.

I think you mean "consummate". Not "constipate". Thats when you can't potty.

..................... ......................... ...................... ................ .................. Wow. GREAT job!

Emma meets Lisa at the Lakeview, just like she requested. Lisa approaches and tells Emma that she can't stay long since her granddaughter was arrested last night and she has to go post bail. Emma tells Lisa of Gran't latest actions and Lisa concludes that they have to come up with a plan to get Grant out of their hair. Lisa promises to be in touch and leaves. Outside, she runs into Chris who is clearly upset about something. Chris seems fidgety and overly aggressive, which Lisa takes as a sign and she leaves. Lisa arrives at the police station and learns that Roxie has been not only sabatagoing Andy and Emily's romance, but has been sleeping with Lisa'a ex-fiancee. Lisa is appalled and tells Roxie that since she got herself in this mess, she can get herself out. Roxie appeals to Lisa in a way she knows Lisa will understand, saying that she wants to get out so she can make amends for all her past misdeeds and also mutters the fact that she and Lisa have spent so much time apart for all their lives. Lisa finally gives in, telling Roxie that this is the last time she'll ever help her get out of jail or anything else. Margo arrives home from the station to find Katie lounging on her couch. Katie says that Tom mentioned something about picking up Daniel and Margo wonders what Katie's doing at her house. Katie explains that she needs Margo's help in convincing Lyla that she's happily in love with Henry and not in love with Mike anymore. Margo says that she'll talk with Lyla and ushers Katie out so she can get some rest. Outside, Katie stands and admires the snow. She has a vision of her making snow angels with someone, but she can't make out who it is. Maddie rushes to Will and Gwen's house and Gwen can tell something is bothering her. Maddie asks for a place to stay for the night since Henry is now temporarily living with Katie and the couple agrees, as long as Maddie tells them what's bothering her. Trough tears, Maddie tells the story of how Luke kept forcing himself on her. When it looked as though he might go all the way, Luke just stopped, slammed his hand against the dresser, put on his clothes, and hurried out the door. Maddie confides in Gwen that she's afraid Luke might be losing it.

Slutty Marlena....indeed. Wonder what this is all about? Marlena's gone koo-koo again! Good episode.
