SPECIAL NOTE: Due to a death in the family, I will be pre-empting TWOO most probablyall week, thus postponing the DAYS/TWOO crossover indefinitely and setting back a few actors' exits.

Roxie fears for her life when she notices her brakes aren't working. Scared, she picks up the phone and first dials Lisa, who's out on business and then calls Tom, who tells her to crash into an abandoned farm house that she's near. Once Roxie crashes into it, she's able to pull herself from the wreckage just as Tom arrives. The two don't take long to conclude that Nadine is behind it all. Gwen tells Jennifer that all the dseigns are ready and she's contacted all the models. Now, all they need is a photographer. Jennifer reminds herself that her cousin Andy is a very accomplished photographer. She immediately calls Andy and asks if he can take a break from conducting his weekly AA meeting at Oakdale Memorial and shoot the ad campaign for Threadz. After a little begging, Andy finally agrees to help his cousin out. Henry drowns his sorrows in a very tall martini at The Lakeview. He flashes back to proposing his idea for KATY to Katie, talking to Katie about how great it would be if they were able to steal Stephen from WOAK, knocking out Stephen after he tried to rape Katie, and then setting KATY on fire. Just as Henry begins to leave, he's startled when a hand rests on his shoulder and a voice says "Hey kiddo. Looks like you could use a little company." Lily finds out from the local, Shannon, that James has been purchasing groceries from a store she works at that isn't too far away from one of the villas he owns. Meanwhile, Holden finds out from Sierra that Lily has went off to Australia and is able to get a flight to Australia himself. Once Lily sneaks inside the villa, James notices that the door was left open and calls his gaurds to search the premises.

"Belle" Comes To Oakdale! This just in! According to the latest issue of Oakdale Digest, a character from 'Through The Hourglass', a DAYS fan fiction written and produced by Drew Hamilton and Jake Powerz, will be crossing over to 'The World Of Oakdale' next week. That character is Belle Brady-Kiriakis. "Drew and I met and discussed ways for a character from his soap to cross over to mine and vice versa. Once we got together, everything just kind of worked itself out," says 'The World Of Oakdale' Executive Producer and Headwriter Dusty Alford. "Belle comes to town to help her friend, fashionista Jennifer Munson during Threadz's ad campaign for its upcoming summer line. While she's in town, she gives Jennifer a few words to live by." Though it is a very brief visit, Belle's visit imapcts Jennifer and her way of thinking." And according to Alford, the crossovers aren't through yet. "Drew and I inked a deal for not only a character from his soap to come to mine, but we also kind of talked about a potential crossover from my soap to his. Though that won't happen until late summer or early fall, we are definitely excited about that, also." "We hope to gain some extra audience members we may have not had any prior contact with before by doing this crossover. There are definitely some 'Through The Hourglass' fans that are also ATWT watchers and will be intrigued with my take on the classic soap opera, also known as 'The Word Of Oakdale', concludes Alford. "And hopefully, they'll stay after the crossover. Look for "Belle" to come to town Wednesday, June 14 and leave on Thursday, June 15. --------------------------- CASTING NEWS & RUMORS: *Peyton List wraps up her brief return as "Lucy" on Tuesday, June 13. *Rumors are saying that one Oakdale teen will be leaving the show soon. *Backstage buzz says that TWOO has approached Hunt Block about returning as "Craig". *Martha Byrne leaves for maternity leave next week. *An actor is leaving the show next week, but who?! *Could there be a natural disaster headed for Oakdale? Only time will tell.

Lily touches down in Australia. Once there, she combs through two of James's villas before concluding they must be somewhere else. A local sees Lily asking if anyone has seen the man in the picture, holding up a picture of James and the local, Shannon, tells a hopeful Lily that she might know where James is. Meanwhile, James continues to taunt Lucinda, saying that a good chunk of her investors have taken their stock and invested in Stenbeck International. Lucinda contemplates killing James in order to set herself free. Back in Oakdale, Lucy confides in her mother that she isn't completely over Dusty. Later, Dusty shocks Lucy when he tells her that he and Meg are over and asks Lucy if they can start over. Roxie gets another threatening letter that says "Die Roxie Die". Feeling threatened, Roxie makes plans to leave Oakdale, but on the way to the airport, she notices her brake lines have been cut. ON THE NEXT TWOO: *Roxie fears for her life. *Jennifer realizes the perfect photographer for Threadz's ad campaign. *Lily gets one step closer to James and Lucinda. *Henry gets a visitor.

What about the guy that plays E.J. right now on the current show?

Andy pays a visit to Emily at the Enquirer office. Brokenhearted, she tells Andy that she feels rushed and thinks they should take a break. Andy then meets up with John at Java and seeks advice. John tells Andy to let Emily go or he will get his heart trampled on by Emily. Meg makes a call to Dusty telling him to come home for something important. Once there, Meg announces that she is 7 weeks pregnant. Meg is shocked when Dusty blasts Meg for her jealousy regarding Lucy's return and shrugs off Meg's pregnancy news as an attempt to trap him. Maddie makes an ultimatum to Heath. If he stops drinking, they can become friends again and she will forgive him. Later, she tells Luke about it, but he is enraged with the news.

However, Emily is talking with John, begging him not to release the expose' she did on Andy's alcoholism right ater he left town. John once again tells her to break things off with Andy and he won't release a single thing. Across town, Henry drives by the KATY building and admits to himself that deep down, he knew he would never open his own TV station and asks God to please end his misery. While Henry sulks just outside of the building, a mystery man lingers in the shadows. In Australia, James wonders aloud how Barbara seems so sure of herself since he is the one who got Paul out of prison and off the hook. Barbara later stages a fake phone call saying she's needed back in Oakdale. Alone, Barbara vows to bring James down and Lucinda back home if it's the last two things she ever does. At the Threadz office, Nick and Jennifer go over the details for the ad campaign with Gwen.

Maddie inadvertantly runs into Heath at Java. He apologizes for slapping her and tells Maddie that he's working on his drinking. Maddie laments that she never imagined the boy she grew up with would one day, slap her while he was drunk. Heath breaks under pressure and begs Maddie for forgiveness, asking what one thing he can do to make Maddie forgive him. Susan joyfully presents new to Hal that the blood clot has grown smaller and injects his I.V. with the experimental drug one more time. Hal later confides in her that he's sacred he might die. They also talk about Emily and how they both worried while she was with Paul that she might go crazy. Roxie and Lisa meet Tom in the hotel lobby and discover that Nadine's totebag was mysteriously empty. Later, Roxie checks her mail and finds a letter that says "Life would be better without you in it. Prepare to die". Meanwhile, we see Nadine go into a flashback of spotting Tom and hiding the posion she had kept in her totebag.

THE WORLD OF OAKDALE SUMMER PREVIEWS Banner courtesy of Cheap21 Everything is going to be heating up in time for summer..... When Lucy returns to help in the rescue of her grandmother, Lucinda, sparks fly between she and her former flame Dusty Donovan. They’re both in for a shock, however, when Meg reveals she’s pregnant. Thinking that Meg has gone back to her scheming and conniving ways, Dusty refuses to accept the truth and turns to Lucy. Lucinda becomes depressed and contemplates killing James in order to free herself. James, dead-set on becoming head of Worldwide and keeping Lucinda as far away from the company as possible (i.e. Australia!), begins to slowly choke the life out of the company, using his newly formed company Stenbeck International. Little do they know that halfway across the globe, Barbara is aiding Lucinda’s family and friends in the search. When one family member sacrifices herself to save Lucinda, you won’t believe the outcome! Andy is baffled at why Emily keeps rejecting him and goes to his father for a little advice. When John becomes hesitant and tells Andy to dump her unless he wants his heart stomped in the ground, he grows suspicious of the connection between John and Emily rejecting him, leading Emily to finally reveal all. Later, Emily faces a familiar foe when fate throws them in the same room together. Jennifer and Nick, happy in their newfound love, are in for a shock when they realize that they have been lollygagging around while Threadz has been slowly tanking. In order to revive the company, Jennifer calls on Gwen and Lisa to help her with a summer ad campaign that will blow the socks of off the competition. Knowing her cousin is an accomplished photographer, she asks Andy to shoot the new ads and places a few Oakdale divas in front of the spotlight. However, Jennifer is soon shocked to discover that Andy and Emily have become a couple and readies herself for one last battle with the woman who helped her brother keep her child from her, Emily. Henry finally gives up all hope of ever establishing a worthwhile career for himself, but is soon pulled out of the gutters of self-torment by someone surprising. Knowing the toll that all of the recent events have had on Henry, this person teaches him that not everyone can scheme and make a life for their self. Maddie is terrorized by the fact that Heath, her childhood sweetheart, would lay a finger on her. Not wanting to totally ruin things with him, she makes an ultimatum. If he stops drinking, she’ll become friends with him again. But nothing more. And as you can imagine, Luke isn’t very happy and seeks to destroy any second chance at a friendship that Heath and Maddie may have, forcing one Oakdale teen to do the unthinkable. Roxie becomes even more fearful of her grandmother when she starts receiving odd messages, assuring her impending death. Not wanting to trouble anyone, Roxie makes plans to leave Oakdale, which are soon halted when Tom discovers the notes. Lisa becomes worried for her granddaughter' safety, forcing her to do whatever it takes to get Nadine out of town. Hal quickly recovers thanks to the experimental drug Susan has been administering to him, but Bob soon finds the empty drug container and suspends Susan. Hal immediately feels guilty and tries to make it up to Susan. Soon, one thing leads to another and before you know it, romance begins blossoming.

Lucy agrees to stay and Dusty thanks her. While Dusty goes back inside, Lucy wonders to herself about the kiss and if all is completely over between she and Dusty. Back inside the house, Lily gets a tip that a man spotted James boarding a plane headed for Sydney. Sierra talks with an ambassador friend of hers and finds out that James has five different villas in Sydney. While Sierra talks with Worldwide’s investors and begs them to not lose faith in the company, Lily packs her bags and calls in the private jet. Will and Gwen arrive at Maddie’s house and find Henry passed out on the couch. Maddie fills them in and tells them that Luke had a study session but will be by later. She tells them of Heath slapping her and Will and Gwen both vow to make Heath pay. Roxie, who called Lisa upon first seeing Nadine in her room, explains to Lisa that Nadine claimed to have left something one night while staying and then left carrying a small totebag. Meanwhile, Tom tracks down Nadine and demands she hand over her bag. At Meg and Dusty’s room at the Lakeview, Meg has flashbacks of Dusty talking about how much he used to love Lucy and how they always shared a bond. She also has flashbacks of meeting Lucy, who announced she had returned to town…possibly for good. Meg touches her belly and vows to make sure that Dusty knows about her pregnancy.

Margo and Katie are able to calm down Mike and finally drag Henry home. Maddie apologizes to Katie for Henry getting drunk and of course, almost burning down KATY. Katie insists that she is the one at fault for trying to seduce Stephen in order for him to change his mind about working at KATY. Lisa suggests that Jennifer and Nick start a fresh ad campaign. For the ads, have a before and after shot. In the before shot, show the models walking down the street in literally threads and then in the after shot, have them dressed in clothes from Threadz. Nick and Jennifer are immediately thrilled with the idea, but their praise of Lisa is cut short when she gets called away. Over in Australia, James taunts Lucinda, saying that he will finally get Worldwide and she won’t be able to do anything about it. Lucinda goes to slap James but he knocks her out just as Barbara walks in the door. Lucy backs away from the kiss and Dusty quickly apologizes. He also says that though he and Meg are together now, that doesn’t mean that he and Lucy can’t be friends. He asks her to stay, citing that her family needs her more than ever right now.

I love how Mr. Davis got laid off by Lucinda! Thats great! Welll......you know what I mean. LOL! Day after day, when I log onto this blog, you amaze me with your writing talent. It comes out of you like water and that's how it is with great writers, I suppose. I hope you carry on this blog thing for a long, long time. You certainly have the talents.

WADDELL OUT! Due to a lack of story, Ernest Waddell has been let go. Waddell, who played the role of Ben's adopted son Curtis, was last seen Wednesday, May 31st when he packed his bags and headed to New York for a job. There are no current plans for the character to be recast. According to Executive Producer and Headwriter Dusty Alford, "We wrapped up the cult storyline and it seemed to go downhill after that. Curtis has never been a major character, forgive me, though we love Ernest and think of him very highly as an actor. There was just no room for the character on the canvas." Ben and Jessica fans need not be worried, though, says Alford. "We may not be featuring them right now, but they will definitely play a role in an upcoming storlyine we have planned for Tom and Margo." Current rumors are saying that once this storyline takes off...Ben, Jessica, Margo, and Tom will never be the same. And if the rumors are true, before the summer ends...there will be five actors looking for work!

Dusty excuses Lucy and himself and takes her outside. Lucy says that she didn’t just come back for Lucinda. She came back for him, but she ran into Meg and knows that she and Dusty are engaged. Dusty says he was going to tell her, but when Lucy again starts fussing, Dusty pulls her into a kiss. Nadine sneaks into Roxie’s room while she’s away and intends on poisoning her, but Tom interrupts her by knocking on the door. As soon as he leaves, Nadine begins with her plan again….but is interrupted yet again when Roxie enters the room. Henry apologizes that he ever hurt her. Katie asks what he means and he says that if he hadnt’ve though up the idea of KATY then Stephen would have never done this to her. Margo and Katie help Henry up and begin leaving the room, but are stopped when Mike barges in, angrily demanding Henry pay for all of this. Jessica and Ben arrive back from the grocery store and find Curtis packing his bags. He apologizes for not giving them notice in advance, but there's a job in New York that he's taking as an intern for a highly acclaimed publishing company. Ben emotionally thanks Curtis for helping Jessica in finding him and Margo and Jessica shares a tearfelt goodbye with him as well.

Emily covers with Andy by saying that she’s just not ready for that type of commitment after being hurt by Paul. Andy, though hurt, understands and lets Emily go about her way after she promises to clue him in as soon as she is ready to move in. Meg introduces herself to Lucy and Lucy does the same. The two girls begin talking and Lucy soon realizes that Meg is engaged to Dusty. Lucy returns and tearfully announces that she’s leaving since the one thing she came back for has vanished. Maddie and Luke meet Will and Gwen at Java and run into Heath. Will and Gwen notice that Luke and Maddie are avoiding Heath and call them out on it. Nick enters the Threadz office to find everyone running around like worker ants. Jennifer makes mention of the fact that their new line is almost done, but they have no way of showcasing it. Lisa enters and tells of her recent family troubles, and relieves Jennifer and Nick when she realizes that she knows just what to do with the Threadz summer line ad campaign.

I love how all of this is playing out. The different reactions from Holden and Lily. The akwardness between Luke and Kevin. Even Luke telling Faith was a nice thing to see. Can't wait for part 5! How many parts ARE there? LOL!

Roxie, Tom, and a few hotel clerks are finally able to break up Lisa and Nadine. Later, Lisa confides in Roxie that she'll make sure that Nadine never hurts her again. Katie and Margo find Henry at the Lakeview drunk and automatically know what he's done. Henry denies having any involvement, but when Margo notices Henry wreaks of gasoline, Henry breaks down and apologizes to a baffled Katie for ever hurting her. Lucy and Dusty share a quick glance...but then it's back to business. Lucy helps Sierra as she calls her contacts in Australia while Lily asks Dusty's help in tracking down James's villa. Later, Lucy leaves for a walk and runs into Meg. Emily coldly demands to know what Susan is doing. After Hal and Susan fill her in, Emily leaves, though she's not completely happy with her mom and her ex-husband trying out an experimental drug on her near-the-brink-of-death ex-husband. After dropping Daniel off at soccer practice, Emily inadvertantly runs into Andy, who demands to know what's going on...why did she reject his offer to move in with him? SPECIAL NOTE: Be on the look out when The World Of Oakdale reveals its summer previews...due for release on June 2nd!

Wow! I would love to see this play out on screen. Your character's motivations are clearly defined and your dialouge is fantastic! Awesome job...yet again!

Awesome! You should start your own ATWT fan fic...like me!

Dusty returns to Lily's and provides her with all the possible locations James could have villas and such. Everyone is shocked when Lucy walks in the door! Lucy claims that once her mother told of her of her grandmother's disappearance, she had to come back to Oakdale and help. Both Dusty and Lucy share an akward lovesick look. Mike, Katie, Margo, Maddie, Luke, and all 20 Oakdale firefighters battle the blaze at KATY. Though the fire didn't destroy much, everyone is shocked to find out that arson is suspected...and everyone discovers Henry's missing. At the Lakeview, Henry orders three of the biggest martinis they make. Roxie begs Tom to get control of Lisa, fearing Nadine may hurt Lisa. Tom, however, promises Roxie that no one ever could fool with Lisa Grimaldi and get away with it. In the hotel lobby, Lisa confronts Nadine and the two engage in an all out senior citizen catfight.

Ben and Jessica arrive home and find that Curtis has went all out for a welcome home party. Though both beg him to stay, he leaves and soon, Ben and Jessica share a romantic night full of dancing and love-making. John retorts that Emily is nothing but a slut and shouldn't trample his son's heart...like she's done so many men in her life. Emily, emotionally drained, goes to the only person who's been there for her lately, her mother. At Memorial, Bob angrily asks Susan what she is doing. Susan is able to hide the drug and covers by saying that a nurse messed up the I.V. After Bob leaves, Susan continues injecting the drug in Hal's I.V., promising Hal that recovery is only a few drips away. And guess what?! Emily sees. Lily thanks Barbara for the advice and turns the tables, advising Barbara to annull her marriage to James and run for the hills.

Emily rejects Andy's key and runs away. While a very confused Andy looks to his mother for advice, Emily tracks down John and slaps him across the face, condemning the day she met him. Meg runs by the drugstore and goes home where she takes a pregnancy test...four times...before finally accepting the fact that she is pregnant. Off in Australia, James emerges from the store and tells a furious Lucinda that Barbara is away on business but should be home shortly. Little does he know that back in Oakdale, Barbara arrives at Lily's door and warns Lily that her mother is in grave danger and that James must be stopped...once and for all. Later, Lily is overjoyed to see Sierra. Luke and Maddie arrive at Maddie's house, but both notice to looming smoke cloud at KATY and call the fire station.

Roxie coldly tells Lisa of the childhood abuse she suffered while living with Nadine up until the age of 17, when Roxie ran away. Lisa is touched, yet enraged and much to Roxie's disapproval, sets off to find Nadine, while Tom stays with Roxie. Luke attacks Heath and continues punching him until Maddie pulls him off. Luke takes Maddie away and later, lends his shoulder for her to cry on. Margo comforts Katie sharing her past rape experience and giving her a business card of a rape counselor that she happens to know very well. Meanwhile, Henry becomes overwhelmingly upset with himself. Unable to live with himself, Henry seems at the end of his rope. He repeatedly tells himself that if he had never schemed with Katie to trick Stephen into working for KATY, then Stephen would have never tried to rape Katie. Henry realizes that his TV station idea, KATY, is the source of all his problems and sets the TV station that he was almost finished building on fire!!

Meg begins feeling dizzy and nauseated again and heads for home, leaving Dusty clueless. However, Dusty soon is able to pay off an airport attendant, who tells him that James took a lady with him on a private jet bound for Sydney, Australia. Across town, just off the phone with Dusty, Lily calls Sierra and begs her to come home and help them. Emily gets a call from Andy to meet him at Java. Once there, Andy gives Emily the key to his new apartment and asks her to move in with him. Susan sneaks the drug into the hospital and begs Hal not to let any of this to slip out, as she might lose her job. Bob comes in just as Susan begins injecting the drug into Hal's I.V., forcing Susan to stop dead in her tracks.

Maddie scolds Heath for his rapid alcohol consumption. Not wanting to hear her "yap" in his druken stupor, Heath slaps Maddie and proceeds to grab her arm when she walks away...just in time for Luke to see everything. Margo and Tom arrive back at home and create a romantic dinner, but Margo gets called away when she learns about Katie and Tom gets called away after he learns of what happened to Roxie. Meanwhile, Lisa confronts Roxie about her fear of Nadine and bluntly asks Roxie if Nadine abused her as a child. Gwen and Will laugh at their vacation plan fluke and decide that vacationing might not be the best thing to do right now.
