Hopefully I've told you this before but I love the format of your site. It's so captivating and it really, truly is the Guiding Light that fans would come to know as their own. Shayne's bi-sexual??? Very nice story plot that GL should explore if they decide to bring Shayne back into the picture. Maybe this is the issue that will bring Reva and Josh back into each other's lives. You really captured the friendship aspect vs. their past with each other. I've never been a fan of Ava so Marah digging up dirt on her makes me root for Marah even more. Expose the bitch! The only thing I like about her is that she's Olivia daughter. Looking good is an issue that plagues America today and it's obviously plaguing Springfield. Ashlee should be stronger than that and I hope that Coop, Lizzie, or even big bad Dorris can help her see it. Last but not least is a hot triangle on SONBC: Gus/Nat/Alan. This torrid romance is worth reading but I have to root for Alan because I've always wanted Gus to be with Harley. Garley was my number one couple to watch...at least they used to be! Sigh. Very nice episode Jay. Can't wait to read more. You should seriously submit this to Guiding Light for a possible job offering. A lot of writers start out shadowing their favorite shows and become staffers.

The title was all about SONOP's number one tranny...Rufus! The poor girl, first she thinks she's at the top of her game and then with a flip of a gun, she's the one taking orders from Ashley. I like that Ash is helping out her sister Alexis. It gives her a little bit of a redeeming factor that she's willing to look into her empty psychotic heart to help out someone other than herself. (Even if she's still going after Bryan on the side.) I was excited to see Bro Ho step up to Sister Pat. I can't wait to see whom or what Miss Jenkins really is. It's probably a person that she killed along time ago and thinks is still alive. It's going to be crazy and hella good. I actually was just watching the Sister Patterson vs. Krazy fight on tv, and that's so Sister Pat! Here's the thing I don't get about Jenn after reading this episode. Why does she hate Jodie so much? The girl's dying from AIDS and she still wants to go after her. That's more heartless then Ashley. We know she wants Mike which Jodie has so is it jealousy? If that's the case, go after Mike, use Santino to make Mike jealous. All this is going to lead to is more trouble with Ty and Karl. Karl your son's a big boy, stay out of his life! Ty you should've shot the bastard when you had the chance. All of these gun toting residents probably own their pistols illegally. Good episode and you know that I'm loving that the bitch (Ashley) is for sure back!

Thanks guys for the comments, you know they truly mean a lot to me. I'm actually enjoying Kim Zimmer's character of Lana because I wanted to throw Revaisms in there. She seems like a lot of fun to be around, to a point of course. Which was surprising because when Lana was first brought on, she was only seen by phone, but since she's actually in town makes her lively and exciting. You all know that Nan is crazy on many levels. This time, it's just layer upon layer of being psycho. Nan's motto is to get whatever she wants at any cost. She always has a reason for doing what she does and she always has a masterplan if it doesn't turn out. Nan's master plan of kidnapping Jenny and this new guest, can just be added on the many list of all the evil things she's done. (I'm thinking this is probably number 35!) Gilbert guest starred as the housemate who called the ambulance in the beginning scene. That scene sort of messed me up because it had to end on a mini-cliffhanger with Officer Wendell at the door but I wanted to wait until the next episode for it to be resolved. Which means that everything had to follow within the same night. Usually there's always a day break or two but not this time. Yeah I noticed how stupid these characters can be sometimes. What with Sky screaming on the phone that got her caught and now Marli's phone may get her in trouble. That's basically why I write those ploys is so that I can have these characters with secrets get caught! Just to speed up the plot becuase if it said something shorter on Marli's phone, then Blake wouldn't have worried but now that Blake knows she's been talking to the F.B.I. well that's kind of a red flag for his own interrogation. Though Marli's secret isn't fully revealed, you'll see it come out in the next upcoming episodes and its consequences. The Blake vs. Bryan rivlary is a lot of fun to write, though I have to admit, I liked it better when it was Blake vs. Nan and Bryan. It's always good vs. bad and the prize is power. That's what these characters are driven by. Being on top is the name of the game at Point Palace!

Welcome to SONOP. I'll try to play catch up when I have the the time.

Hey welcome to SONOP! Can't wait to read what your series is all about.

- - - Alicia instinctively grabbed Will’s body and put him in a comfortable position on the stairs, he slumps to his side. Frantically she feels for a pulse and is relieved to see that he was still breathing, except he was unconscious. She then notices his head was bleeding from broken glass. Alicia: (screaming to the others) Someone call an ambulance! Now! One of the other housemates gets on his cell phone and dials 911. Alicia made her way upstairs and finds Jace inebriated. Alicia: Everyone get out. Go back to your rooms. I need to talk to Jace alone. Jace: No. We’re all having a good time. Turn the damn music up! Jace blasts his stereo until Alicia turns it off. The housemate who made the call, finds Alicia to update her. The others heed Alicia's warning and leave. Housemate: An ambulance is on their way. The police are coming too. Will’s lying on the couch. Alicia: Help me get rid of all the beer. Jace: (to his housemate) Dumb ass! Why are the police here? Alicia: Please go look after Will until an ambulance gets here. The housemate exits. Alicia continues to clean up the room. Alicia: What happened? Jace: I…I’m not talking to you! Let me pass out. Alone! Alicia: I’m not going anywhere. Did you push Will down the steps? Jace: I’ll admit that I hit the bastard but that’s all I remember. Alicia: Oh my god, you did! Jace: Why does it even matter? You don’t believe me. Go run to your boy toy. Alicia: I don’t know what to believe Jace. Jace: Because I’m a raging alchy! God forbid you won’t take your boyfriend’s side. Alicia: Look, I’m not worried about taking sides. The police can’t see you like this. You’re too drunk. Jace: And you’re a cheating liar. Alicia stops dead in her tracks. She knew what he was getting at. Jace: Don’t you like the idea of two guys fighting over you? Does it get you off? Alicia: What are you- Jace: Don’t play dumb with me! I know what you did. Will told me about your kiss. Before Alicia could speak there was a knock on the door. Alicia opens it to find Officer Wendell standing before her flashing his badge. - - - Episode 117: Breathe In, Breathe Out Executive Story Consultant & Series Creator: Matt Politylo Logo Designer: Mary Zimmerman Guest Starring: Gilbert Smith from S.T.E.A.M. Noelle Beck from As the World Turns - - - Carlos and his Blue Crystal Co-Star Ian Hadley enjoy drinks at the bar section of The Cue Ball. A few of the girls from across the bar had been giving them glances but Carlos was too deep in thought to notice or even care. Ian: I thought that drinks were supposed to lighten the mood. Carlos: Sorry man I’m just…confused. Ian: Let me guess. Relationships? Carlos: Yeah. Jenny and I went through a really bad time, probably the worst thing that could happen to anyone, and all Jenny can do is leave. Ian: Maybe she needed sometime to herself. Carlos: That’s what she told me and I would like to believe that but- She should come back home. Ian: Did you ever consider taking a break? Carlos: No. We’ve been through so much before. I love Jenny. Ian: Whoa dude love is a strong word. Carlos: Some other chick is trying to be all nice to me. Ian: You’re lucky. Hopefully it isn’t another actress, those types are crazy. Case in point...C.C. Carlos: Yeah don’t remind me. I’m only wanting to be this girl’s friend. That’s all. Ian: Sure. Call me after you guys have gotten drunk and woken up naked next to each other. Then I’ll try to replay this conversation. Carlos: All I can hope is that Jenny comes back. If not, I don’t know how much more of this I can take! - - - Anna Lee was not backing down with her confrontation. Nan looks at her sister and sighs. Anna Lee: Damn it Nan you better start talking or I swear I’ll let Jenny go. She’ll be like a rat coming out of a cage. Nan: Fine. I didn’t want you to find out but- Nan pauses and Anna Lee notices that Nan is emotionally distraught. It’s the first time she sees sincerity from her sister. Nan: It’s not Jenny's place to let you know what happened to our sister! Anna Lee: Just tell me. Whatever it is I’m sure I can take it. Did Tracie get in to some of trouble or what? Nan: Tracie died. Anna Lee was shocked. Her eyes had become slit until tears of denial burst out of them. Anna Lee: No. You’re lying! Tracie didn’t die. Nan: Yes she did. Anna Lee: (angry) Did you do it? Did you kill our sister? Anna Lee lifts Nan out of her seat and begins to shake her violently. Nan slaps her across the face to get her out of her delirium. Anna Lee looks back at Nan. Anna Lee: How did it happen then? Nan: It was an accident or so I was told. Tracie came to the school and she fell for Dylan Colby. Dylan was going out with Carrie Slondsbid but of course you know how stubborn Tracie is…she kept pursuing him. Anna Lee: And she died for a crush? Nan: Carrie and Tracie got into a fight near the outskirts cliff. Dylan held onto both of them but- He lost Tracie and she fell to her death. Anna Lee: Why couldn’t you tell me? Nan: Because I know how fragile you are. This is why I never wanted you to come here. This place is bad! Anna Lee: I…I don’t know what to say. Nan: You just have to continue to help me. We have our visitors and once we use them, life will be better. That’s what we have to focus on. Nan gently lifts Anna Lee’s chin to look at her. She wipes away Anna Lee’s tear and hugs her. - - - Before Alley opens her door, she finds a note taped to the front of her door. Alley opens it and reads it. Alley: Let’s get busy? Alley opens her door to find John in his boxers surrounded by candles in her dimly lit living room. John: Surprise baby. Alley: What is all this? John: I’ve been so into my work that I thought I could be spontaneous. Maybe chocolates would’ve have been better than breaking into your room but I figured you’d enjoy this more. Alley tries smiling but can’t. John: Okay obviously you’re not in the mood. Alley: It’s not that. I can be but…I’m just sort of pissed off. John blows out some candles. John: (sarcastic) Really? I couldn’t tell. Usually you want to jump my bones when I do something out of the blue for us. Alley: This was a wonderful gesture though. John: Who pissed you off? Alley: Um…Blake told me some big news so brace yourself. John: Two people I don’t want to talk or think about is Blake and Marissa. Those are my turn offs. Alley: It’s rarely about Blake and your demon of a sister is in the back of my mind. I found out that Carrie and Dylan are engaged. John: (caught off guard) Oh. That is pretty big. Alley: Yeah. John: I’m guessing that you kept thinking of the past. Alley: Unfortunately. Couldn’t stop thinking about all of the cheating on both sides and the lies. John: (cheering her up) So what? Who the hell gives a damn? Those two deserve each other. Alley: But- John: But you have me and I’m ten times better than he is. Now I’m going to remove my boxers and go into your bedroom. I expect you to do the same. Alley bites her lip and giggles. John teasingly throws his underwear at Alley and runs to her bedroom. - - - Ginny wipes off the counters at The Palace Café. Ava walks in and finds Nate by himself, working on his laptop. She sits across from him. Ava: We need to talk. Nate: Move your mouth then. I’m busy anyway, I’ve been focusing on my job with the school board, it’s been helping me to get my mind off of what you’ve done to me these past few weeks. Ava: I want to explain myself. Nate: You used to me to get back at your ex. There’s a lot of explanations expected. Ava: Yes and no. Nate: Why? Why the hell would you do something like that? Granted I hated that bitch, I didn’t want to be used. Ava: I like you! That’s the point I was trying to make for her. Before Nate could respond, a female professor comes to the table to speak with Ava. Professor Strope: Ava may I have a word with you. Ava: I’m sort of in the middle of something here. Professor Strope: It'll be really quick. Ava: Okay. Professor Strope: I have an amazing assignment for you. It would be perfect for the Sociology Volunteer Project. Ava: Great. What would it be? Professor Strope: You would be volunteering at a mentally challenged facility. Observing the ways of others who are physically less fortunate. What do you say? Ava: Sounds great. Sign me up. Professor Strope: Thanks. I’ll e-mail you more about it. See you in class. Ava turns around to face Nate but finds him gone. Ava: Damn it! - - - At The River Teal, Dylan holds onto Carrie’s hand who was making sure to show off her fantastic engagement ring. The two were the center of attention at their very own engagement party. Blake pats Dylan on the shoulder and he smiles to see someone he truly wants to talk to. Dylan: How’s the best man doing? Blake: I’m doing great man. How are you holding up? Dylan: Dude this is freakin’ fantastic! I’m getting married to this lovely thing and all of these people are going to give us gifts. It’s a really cool feeling. Blake: Yeah, been there done that. (acknowledging Marli behind him) This is going to be my date, I don’t think you’ve met. Marli: Hi Marli Calloway. I’ve heard so much about you two. Carrie: Nice to meet you. Are you new to the school? Marli: Yes. I’m from Reno. Dylan: You’re definitely taking a gamble with Blake. Marli: Oh my god! Look at the size of that rock. It’s just amazing. Carrie: My man does have good tastes. Carrie takes Marli aside so the two could gawk at her ring. Dylan: Have you seen my mother? Blake: No, I haven’t. I’m sure hurricane Lana will be huffing and puffing shortly. Dylan: Yeah. I’m afraid of that. Dylan sees his assistant Sean from a distance and notions to speak with him. Dylan: Excuse me. Sean: How’s everything going? Dylan: Everything’s great. You’re really doing an awesome job. I wasn’t sure how you were going to handle the age difference but if you can pull off everything that the school board shoves to an event like this, then you’re a master at work! Sean: Thank you. Dylan: I was wondering something though. Sean: Yes? Dylan: Did you bring a date? Maybe planning to bring one to the wedding? Sean: No I came solo. I’m the type of guy who gets so caught up into his work that he doesn’t have time for a relationship. Dylan: It’s very noble of you to notice something like that. Dylan hears Lana laughing loudly from far away. Dylan: Great. Mama Colby’s here. I’ll introduce you. Lana hugs Dylan and gives him a giant kiss on his cheek. Lana: Oh my little man. You’re not so little anymore. Look who I brought with me. Dylan: Jason?! It's great to see you! Jason: I know it's been forever. Dylan: I didn't think you'd make it. Jason: Yeah well things in Lexington aren't working out. Dylan: You weren't involved with the DiMarco's were you? Jason tugs at his own ear to change the subject, all he can do is smile. Dylan: I see. It’s good to see you too mom. Hey let me introduce you to this great guy who pulled together this wonderful event. Get this, he's my very own personal assistant. Sean this my mother, Lana- Dylan turns around and finds that Sean has disappeared. Lana: Hopefully you’re bride doesn’t do that to ya. Where’s this lucky lady at? Carrie: Right here. Lana’s it’s so good to meet you finally. Jason. Hi! Jason: Carrie it's been- Carrie: Forever. Dylan: That's right you're from the same town. Small world I guess. Carrie: Not small enough. Lana: Carrie you sound just as I imagined on the phone. Dylan: You two talked before? (joking) Wait how many people in my family do you know outside of our engagement party? I have a brother and two sisters, do you know them too? Lana: Why yes. She told me all about…the cancer. I wished you would’ve told me but I’m just happy you’re a survivor. Now where the hell can I get a drink at? (hollering) Bartender! Lana exits for a drink and Dylan glares at his bride to be who knew that her big mouth had caught up with her. - - - Across the room, Blake leans against the bar and takes a swig of his drink. He hears Lana’s infectious laugh. Blake: Miss Colby, how are you doing? Lana: My oh my have you grown up. Blake: Yeah I own the school and everything. Lana: I thank you for giving my son a nice job. Blake: He’s done a lot for me and I wanted to reward my best friend. There’s no way that I wouldn’t. Lana: Maybe you can give something to his mother too. You know the song, when you’re good mama, mama's good to you. Lana playfully runs her hand on his cheek. Blake: It’s very nice to see you again. (muttering to himself) Mama needs to back off! Blake exits to find Marli near the coat section, trying to hide from the others. She’s again on her cell phone. Marli: I’m trying to do everything I can. I already took him on a vacation, well it was a funeral for rich people, but we were out of town. It’s not my fault he leads a good life! Just get the other one out of town, we both know he’s bad news. How did he know where I was? Blake clears his throat and Marli quickly hangs up out of nerves. Blake: I wasn’t eavesdropping. Marli: It was a call from back home. Blake: You seem to be getting a lot of those. Marli: Yep. Let’s go dance. Blake: Are you hiding something from me? Marli is blindsided by his question. Marli: Hiding…hiding what? Blake: You seem so secretive. Whatever it is…why don’t you tell me now or forever hold your peace. Marli: No Blake. I’m not hiding anything. I’m an open book. Like a fairytale, with a charming prince. I’m going to use the ladies room and when I come back, I want a dance. Marli smiles at him and begins to leave with her purse but her cell phone accidentally drops to the ground without Marli’s acknowlegement. Blake picks it up and begins to go through it. He notices the call log, which reads ‘JIM FBI AGENT.’ Blake: Yeah, you’re not hiding anything. - - - Bryan answers the doorbell and finds S.R. dressed in a hoodie. He lets him in. Bryan: Can I offer you a drink? S.R.: That would be great. Can I have a scotch on the rocks? Please. Bryan: At least you’re polite. Don’t think for a second that I’m your personal cocktail waiter. S.R. I’ve dated a few of those before. Waitresses, not dudes. So what is it that you want to know about Hope? Bryan: She’s not using that name now. S.R.: Yeah I caught that. Marli something. Bryan: I want you to tell me everything. How you know her? What you’ve talked about? Anything and everything will be good. S.R.: She actually pursued me in Reno. Somehow she knew about a gang that I was in. We would scam casinos. I went to jail for it and I learned my lesson. Bryan: She knew about you going to jail? S.R.: Yeah. She actually came onto me. Said that bad guys turned her on. I told her all about the gang and getting arrested just so I can make those panties drop to the floor. They did. Bryan: What else? S.R.: I’m not telling you anything else until I see some money. Preferably cash! Bryan: Fine! Bryan digs through his wallet and throws five hundred dollars on the table. S.R. smiles and puts it in his pocket. S.R.: I know you’ll be paying me a lot more after this. Bryan: Just continue. S.R.: The last day I saw Hope was when I told her about this guy me and my gang had to rough up. The roughing up turned into us killing him and she saw it all. Then she skipped town. Bryan walks over to his couch and picks up a file. S.R. continues to down his drink before pouring himself another one. He hands it to S.R. S.R.: What’s this? A warrant for my arrest? Bryan: No. It’s an obituary. Hope Crayno died! - - - In the front part of Jenny’s dungeon that Nan had made for her, the main screen kept playing looped episodes of “The Nan World.” Jenny made sure to poke holes in the bathroom. The hole was almost big enough to break through and Jenny's determination wasn't going to let her down. Jenny: Come on…just a little more. With one big thrust of her fist, Jenny breaks through to the other side. She then pulls parts of the walls aside to let herself in or out. What she found was definitely not an exit. Jenny: What the hell does that crazy bitch have going on here? The room was dark but she kept hearing the beeping noises to what turned out to be a ventilation system. Jenny: Oh my god. I’m not the only one she’s been holding captive here. Jenny makes her way up to an almost lifeless body. The person was very familiar but Jenny couldn’t make out who it was. Jenny slowly got closer to the person and their eyes open up. Jenny: Oh my god…it’s you!

Speaking of amazing casts, FTL is filled with the right actors playing the right characters. I'm sure you heard this before but you should be writing for GL. Gus/Natalia/Alan triangle is so intriguing. If Gus was still on the canvas today, then this is tthh plot I would love to see. I'm kind of hoping that it's Gus's.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. This episode was good! Anna really must be desperate if she's going to someone else for help. It's one thing to ask for business advice but it's something else when you strike up shady deals. That's pure Anna. I think that Christina would be a nice fit for Edmund after his nasty divorce. It seems like he needs to get his mind off of his troubles but his kids might be a problem for Christine since she never wanted them. Ethically I don't want Jim to be a pill popper but for soap opera entertainment...push him over the edge! Very nice cliffhanger ending.

We miss this show on SONOP. It's nice to see a new entry. Can't wait to read new episodes of this enthralling blog!

Since the new format I've been dying to read this episode. Ash is really beyond sick to the point where she might be hated. However we got to see a remorseful side when it comes to her unhealthy obsession with Bryan. Here's what I would love to see: Ash end up with Bryan and Sabryn be with Gilbert. It seems like the two who are together don't deserve each other. Both Ash and Gil would do anything for the ones they love, yet they're ignored. Bryan had to do whatever it took to get Sabryn to fall for him and if she didn't have her baby, they wouldn't be together. It would be so sweet if Ladonna joined a love triangle with Bro Hoe and Alexis. She seems like such an interesting character that's in the background. (Very Ginny vs Tanisha aspect.) Good job for Dre standing up to Sister Patterson. She's just going down in flames! Then again she was already going down on something when she messed with DC. Poor Abe...nah he had it coming. Karma's a bitch like his current should soon to be divorced wife. Mona better wise up and see that Sharan is a user! I wonder what Mona will do... I've been wondering, is STEAM going the telenovela root? The show is so big and over the top that I don't know how you could continue to out do yourself but I'm sure you will. Nice episode and I'm glad to have had finally caught up. It was well worth it.

I love how all of the villains of the show are friends. It's sort of like a justice league for baddies. Mona and Ash are crazy on different levels. Mona is fueled by revenge whereas Ash is psychotticaly obsessed. Ria is so transparent but with the casting, it's so entertaining. She likes two things: money and wee wee. Though Jenn better watch out now that Karl is after her. The bro hoes and their dad is just messsed up. Abe deserved answers and his sons deseve a good punch in the mouth. Surely Lexi will give that to one of them. Can't wait to find out what happens next!

Ash is my new favorite psycho. She's crazier the second time around. I don't think Dahlia's dead. Can't wait to see the bitch Nat is back. Everyone better watch out. Lexi is dumb and Rufus has one upped her. Sis Pat is a bad liar which should give Abe the ammo to diorce her.

Check this out...I just got a new phone that has net capabilities so now I'm able to catch up with all my SONOP shows. This episode was jam packed with excitement. Ash vs Dahl was awesome because of the whole Nat tension and the fact that they both came back from the dead. The ending was classic but Ash should team up with Dahl instead of try to kill her. Maybe she could use her to get back at Sabryn. Ash is still nuts which is one thing that hasn't changed. For once I liked Dre because he might expose Kevin and Lauren's secret. Poor Daniel is always caught in the middle. Lauren became such a whore. How dare she try to pawn it off as Chris who died because of her stupidness...well that and Mona. I love Sister Pat at times she's cartoony but it's great to see that she has faults and has sinnned. DC is the perfect culprit of temptation. I hope Abe goes ape shhhh on both of them. Last is the most touching story on SONOP, Jodie and Mike. This story is being pulled off corectly. It tugs at your heart. I like Heath and Lina. Being there for Jodie is what she needs most, support. Whhaat's this I hear you wanna move? With all of these episodes coming out it would be a dang shame. The show is too adicting to watch it go.

Um...let's start off with Rufus and Mark. GROSS! That was so disgusting. I'm not siding with Dahlia on this one because she's obviously a homophobe but it's just really sick. At least with the whole biting stuff. ::Shivers:: Poor Jodie, I really hope she can pull through this. The support group was interesting and intense all mixed into one. Though Heath may be gay, do you think there might be something there with Jodie? (I'm just saying) Then we have Hope and Suga, they're just a modern day Thelma and Louise. The ending was creepy. That's the one fun part about back from the dead characters, when they reveal themselves to the living. It was wierd episode yet forceful and if you're interested, I know where PP and Steam and crossover!!!

Thank you for that warning but I practically expecting that, what I didn't expect was Dahlia witnessing it all. D.C. should drop kick all of the bro hoes, especially Dre. That fool is just blinded by money but this does make for an interesting read to see how dangerous Ty truly is. Didn't think that Diego...oh wait, yes Diego's a bastard so he would stoop so low to help Ashley. I love Ash's character because you feel sorry for her. At least after everything's that has happened. Was I watching the scene from Borat when he went to the church? That was too funny when Sister Pat had Hope get rid of all her sins. It was halarious! What was definitely the highlight of the episode for me, was Gilly admitting he's silly for Sabryn! Finally, the guy's had a boner for her so long...though others would disagree. Thank you for making this happen and it's even funnier that her water broke. Keep up the good work because S.T.E.A.M. is still S.M.O.K.I.N.G.!

- - - Carrie was floored when she looked at Dylan who was holding the expensive diamond engagement ring in front of her. Carrie: Yes…yes Dylan I’ll marry you. Dylan: I thought you’d say something like that. Dylan slides the ring onto her fourth finger. He stands up and romantically kisses her. Carrie: This is what you’ve been doing behind my back. Dylan: Yeah I wanted to surprise you. Carrie: You really did. Dylan: You know I’ve been down right spontaneous lately because I want to live every day of my life. We’ve been through a lot and anyone who can nurse me back to life, is definitely the one whom I want to give all of my happiness to. Carrie: Well you did the same for me. Dylan: You know what’s coming next though? Carrie: I get to turn into a Bridezilla? Dylan: (snickering) That and the fact that we get to tell the whole school that we’re getting married! Carrie: I already have a big mouth. Let me handle that. Dylan: I love you. Carrie: This ring proves it but I don’t need a diamond to show off what we have. I love you too Dylan and I can’t wait to be your wife. Carrie pulls Dylan in for a long kiss while still admiring her new ring. - - - Episode 116: Rude Mates Executive Story Consultant & Series Creator: Matt Politylo Logo Designer: Mary Zimmerman Guest Starring: Victor Alfrieri from A Hand of Hearts and Diamonds - - - Outside of Carrie’s room, a tall man dressed in a dark black business suit, drags Victor’s body into a black limo. Juliana was sitting in the back seat observing her passed out brother. Juliana: Thank you Vincenzo. Vincenzo: He should wake up within the next twelve hours, fourteen tops. I didn’t expect the shot to be so loud. Vincenzo shuts the door, which signals the driver to drive off. Juliana: (to Victor) You can’t harm yourself anymore. There’s no way I’ll let you see Carrie again. You’re going to be cured of this sick obsession that you have with her. Juliana lightly touches Victor’s cold face. Juliana: When you wake up, we’ll be home, and you’ll never come here again. I won’t allow it! I’m sorry it had to come down to me tranquilizing you but you’ll see it’s for the best. Vincenzo clears his throat after overhearing Juliana. Juliana: (to Vincenzo) The family means everything to me. If you judge me, I’ll kill you. Vincenzo looks off and ignores her threat but sees in her eye, a gleaming tear, which was brought on from her inflicted family pain. - - - Sky was enraged with anger after opening the door to find Nate in bed with Ava. She was practically seeing red. Sky: (screaming) GET OFF HER NOW! Nate is shocked and confused when he sees Sky standing in the doorway. Ava slowly gets out of bed to cover herself up with the sheets. Ava: How does it feel Sky? Nate: Can someone tell me what’s going on? Sky: You’re trying to infect my girlfriend! Haven’t we already been down this road before. Nate: (to Sky) Just for your information but she invited me over here. Sky: Is that true Ava? Ava: Of course it is. Sky: Why the hell would you do this to me? Ava: Oh come off it. I wanted you to see what it was like to be hurt and lied to. Better yet, what’s it like to be used! Sky: I never used you. Ava slaps Sky across the face. Ava: You’re lying right now! I know about everything. I know that you had my car brakes tampered with so that I’d hit you. Are you seriously that desperate? Nate: I think I’m going to go. Sky: That’s a good idea. Too bad you didn’t take the hint a while back. Ava: He’s not going anywhere because he’s the one that I want. Not you. Ava pulls Nate close into her and kisses him passionately. Sky starts hitting Nate and tries pulling Ava off of him but instead is pushed into the wall by Ava. Ava: I want you to get out or I’ll have you arrested for what you did. Sky: But…what about all of the good things I did for you? I saved your life and- Ava: And you made me feel like a criminal just so I can be guilted into being with you. Get out of my life Sky. I don’t care if we pass each other on the street or if we run into each other at the café, we’re not together, and we never will be. It's all because of you! Tears were coming out of Sky’s eyes but she looks at Ava and then at Nate. There was nothing she could do, she was found out and caught. Feeling defeated, Sky walks out of Ava’s bedroom. Ava hugs Nate who shoots her a confusing look. - - - The next morning, students and professors were passing through the courtyard of the school. Blake walks hand in hand with Marli. Blake: I actually have some really interesting news. Marli: Oh yeah? Like what? Blake: My best friend Dylan is engaged. Marli: Congrats to him. I don’t think you've introduced us yet. Blake: I’m sure you will meet him soon. We’ve been invited to the wedding. Marli: Sounds like fun. I enjoy dressing up if the occasion’s right. Someone comes up from behind Blake and Marli and taps on Marli’s shoulder. It startles her a bit. S.R.: Excuse me? Before she could turn around, the voice sent quivers down her spine. Blake: Can I help you? S.R.: Hope? Hope Crayno is that you? Marli: No. I’m sorry you must have me confused with someone else. S.R.: No way. It’s me, S.R. Reardon! Marli: I…I don’t know you. Sorry. S.R.: Cut the crap Hope- Blake: Look pal she said she doesn’t know you and her name isn’t Hope, it’s Marli. S.R.: I didn’t tap on your shoulder. Blake: (to Marli) You want me to get security? Marli: That sounds like a good idea. S.R.: (backing off) Alright maybe I do have you confused. I’ll leave you two alone. Blake puts his arms around Marli and they continue to walk. Blake: Are you okay? Marli: Yeah I’m fine. That guy was such a creep. The couple walks off but Bryan was close by witnessing everything. He smiles and walks up to S.R. Bryan: I saw the whole thing. S.R. Then maybe you could’ve heard that I’m leaving them alone. I don’t need any trouble so screw off! Bryan: Whoa you need to calm down. I’m not your enemy, in fact I could be your best friend. S.R.: Yeah? Bryan: Yes. Obviously you know that girl and I need some information about her. S.R.: What’s in it for me? Bryan: Lots and lots of money. I can make you a rich man and you might just do the same for me. Bryan puts out his hand for a deal shaker and S.R. smiles as the two shake on it. - - - Alley walks to John’s room, knowing full well that he wasn’t there but figured that Marissa was. Before knocking on his door, she calls his cell phone. He answers on the second ring. John: Hey you. Alley: Hey yourself. What are you up to? John: Getting doors slammed in my face. I’ve been going to all of these photography places to get a job but after the gallery fiasco, they don’t want to employ Larry Flynt junior. Alley: I’m sorry to hear that John but you kind of know who to blame for that. John: Antonio! Alley: Him and your sister. She was obviously the mastermind behind- John: I’m in a bad enough mood as is so I don’t want to argue over her. I’ll see you later. John hangs up with Alley. Alley tiptoed her way to the front door. She was right about to knock, until she heard Marissa talking to someone. Alley peaks her head into the window to see that she was on the phone, while holding onto baby L.J. Marissa: I’m not worried about their clientele, I’m worried about my business. If she’s not pulling in the money that I want then she’s cut. Alley accidentally trips on a branch which Marissa hears. Marissa: Let me call you back but damn it if I’m losing money, no one will want to deal with me! I mean no one! Marissa opens the front door to investigate but sees that no one’s there. Marissa: (to L.J.) Your aunt’s going crazy but that’s what a business can do to you. Especially when you’re running something like I am. Marissa shuts the door and Alley has a big grin on her face. Alley: Well, well, well. Whatever it is you have going on, I'll for sure expose you. - - - At The Palace Café, John tips Ginny who notices that he seems down. Ginny: What’s wrong? John: Family and relationship problems. It could be worse, it could be domestic. Ginny: I’m sure whatever problems you’re having, they’ll be fixed sooner than you know. I’ll get you a refill. Ginny notices Tanisha walking in with Agatha. Ginny: Speaking of problems, I need to take care some of my own. Be right back John. Agatha: We’re here to discuss with you what terms we feel should be taken to go after ownership. Ginny: That’s very good and well Agatha but I think I need to talk to Tanisha alone. Tanisha: (to Agatha) Don’t worry Aggie, this place will be ours! Agatha: It better be because I don’t tolerate shady liars. Ginny takes Tanisha aside so that they could talk privately. Tanisha: I want to make this professional as possible so I will refrain from calling you every name in the book, well except for bitch. Deal? Ginny: I know this place like the back of my hand. I can do ten times as much as any other employee here. Yet you’re hell bent on revenge. Even after the fact that you got everything you wanted. Tanisha: Oh now I get it. You’re still jealous over what I have. I do have to say that my long distance relationship with your ex is going very well. His hearing has practically come back to him and he still only has eyes for me. At least that’s because of the heightened senses thing. Ginny: Maybe I am jealous but if you want the café to go to Agatha just to spite me, then I’m willing to back out on one condition. Tanisha: Name it. Ginny: You give up Owen. You break up with him and you break his heart. That way we can truly be together. Not only would you have full ownership of this place, you’ll get rid of me, because I’ll live with Owen and I guarantee we’ll have a happily ever after! Ginny pats Tanisha on the shoulder and leaves her to think about her offer. - - - Later on in the evening, Nan was in her editing room which was only lit by her computer monitor, watching videos of the past days. One video catches her eye. Jenny almost escaped until she was stopped by Anna Lee. Nan was shocked by what was going on. She smiled when she saw that Carlos was calling her. She pauses the video to answer. Nan: I was just about to call you. Carlos: Beat you too it. Nan: You did. Carlos: I’ve been studying my lines for Blue Crystal and wanted to know if you maybe wanted to get together. Nan: You’re asking me out? Carlos: Don’t look too much into it. I’m still with Jenny. Except, you seem to be the only friend I have around here these days. Other cast members are busy or- Nan: I understand. Any luck reaching Jenny? Carlos: I keep calling her but she ignores my calls. We did go through something really serious so it’s understandable that she wants to keep her distance. Nan: A dinner date sounds great Carlos. I’ll make you dinner over here. Bye. Nan hangs up with Carlos and makes sure to have the conversation taped for Jenny’s eyes. Nan looks into the camera to film another part of her torture show. Nan: What will Jenny say to break Carlos’s heart? Easy. A fake e-mail account with Jenny’s name on it will tell Carlos how she’s moved away. Next on The Nan World. Nan turns off a camera when she sees Anna Lee eavesdropping in the doorway. Nan kept focusing on her editing equipment. Nan: I saw what you did. It was very smart to pull a gun on her. I wouldn’t have blamed you if you had to use it. Anna Lee: Jenny told me something very interesting. Nan: Of course she would. She’s desperate to escape. Anna Lee: Maybe it was a little bit of desperation or trying to survive but it kind of struck a chord with me. Nan: Just ignore her. Anna Lee rushes to her sister and grabs her so that she was facing her. Anna Lee: She told me that that I needed to demand the truth about Tracie! Nan: I don’t know what you or that crazy hag are talking about. Anna Lee: Don’t you lie to me about our family. What happened with Tracie? Nan is silent until Anna Lee shakes her. Anna Lee: You better start talking or I’ll release Jenny and make sure that her boyfriend knows exactly what you did! - - - Jenny sat on the floor, eating the meal that Anna Lee had prepared for her. She kept watching the flat screen monitor that had replayed daily episodes of ‘The Nan World.’ Jenny: Please…no more! Jenny throws her empty plate at the screen, only making a dent. Jenny: Fine. I give up, you win Nan. I’ll let you have him. Jenny slaps herself across the face. Jenny: I must be going crazy. Jenny begins to laugh hysterically. Jenny: I’m going just as nutso as that psychopath! Jenny stands up and looks around the room. She goes into the bathroom area where she starts up a shower. Jenny began to run her head under the water to wake herself up. Once she does, she begins to hear something interesting coming from another room. Jenny: What the- Jenny presses her ear next to the wall and hears what sounds like heavy breathing followed by beeping noises. Jenny: This could be my escape. Jenny returns to the main part of Nan’s lair and grabs her metallic fork. She walks back into the bathroom and ever so quietly begins to pound on the wall. Trying to make a hole on the other side with each stab. - - - Will’s apartment complex was throwing yet another party which Will had decided to go to. Except this time it was being thrown in Jace’s room. Jace had already been drinking when he noticed Will. Jace blocks the doorway. Jace: You’re not invited. Will: Free country dude. Jace: You’re not welcome. Take a hint. Will: Why do you gotta be a dick? I’m here just trying to have a good time and you have to be dickish about it. Jace: Are you calling me a big dick? That’s what Alicia calls me when I’m in bed with her. Jace tries shutting the door in Will’s face until Will overpowers him.i] Will: I kissed your girlfriend! Jace stopped dead in his tracks. Jace: What did you say? Will: Alicia and I kissed and it was one of the most amazing kisses ever! Jace: You son of a bitch! Jace turns away from him before punching him in the face. Will retaliated by punching him back. Both guys tried nursing their bloody mouths before going after each other as the other housemates watched. Jace punched Will in the stomach. Will headbutted him and threw him against the wall. The other housemates were too scarred to break it up. - - - Outside of Jace and Will’s apartment complex, Alicia was on the phone with Rena. Rena: Did you make your decision? Alicia: I did. I know which guy I want to be with. Rena: It’s good to end it and whoever you choose, I’m down with it. I know what I got myself into. We’ll still be friends regardless. Alicia: Let's talk later when things have cleared. Alicia hangs up with Rena. When she opened the door, she heard the commotion going on upstairs. Alicia also heard the smashing of a beer bottle and watched Will falling backwards down the steps unconscious. Alicia: (screaming) WILL!!! Alicia looked up and saw Jace breathing heavy as he was shaking his head at her.

Where to start? With Ria. She's such a hippicryte. The only reason why she's siding with Jodie is because she was caught and she doesn't want to look bad. That's kind of too late since she knew what she was getting herself into and whom she was doing...which was disgusting D.C. Poor Natalia, she's so like Nan in so many ways. They now share something in common, they've both lost babies who would've given them the power to control the men that they wanted. (I think their blood related somehow!) I think the only reason I'd like the Bro Hoes if they actually poked their mother in her two eyes just to shut her crazy mouth up. The reunion between Mark and Dahlia was nice, even though Mark is stupid to automatically assume his back from the dead lover is a murderer. The Hope story plot feels a little wierd because it's so out of character for her. (That's judging from DAYS, not LIS.) Jenn had what was coming to her and Karl/Ty shouldn't be so surprised that she's capable of such bad things. At least compared to what those two have done. (BTW, Thao P. is a really nice and interesting guy. He has the best stories!) Then this ending was creepy, horrific, and cliffhanging. It was awesome. You can tell that S.T.E.A.M. is trying to go for a more serious feel to it while still balancing that craziness aspect. Keep up the good work and I'll comment on the new episode very soon.

Sorry for the long delay but I'm so happy that I caught the newest episode. The whodunnit is on and popping. I'm glad you didn't have someone shoot Natti and then that was it, instead it's going to be a long drawn out plot. With tons of suspects. It was nice to see Suga back to her ghetto bitch self. Didn't Dahlia learn the first time? You don't mess with the woman who stabbed you before you faked your death. DUH! If Sharan and Mona do get back to Passadena, I'm hoping that Mona goes psycho and blows up the bros in the house. Though the bro ho scene was necessary so that Sister Pat can get her verbal smack down. Can't wait to find out what happens next.

Former pop star turned actor, Joey Murray of the band ATC, has joined the Point Palace roster as S.R. Reardon. His character is connected to the mysterious Marli Calloway (Danica Stewart). Look for Murray to debut in Episode 116 and of course stir up trouble for Marli's future at Point Palace. Series creator Matt Politylo discusses this big front burner plot: "There were many versions to what Marli was supposed to be but the revelation to her sole purpose is mind blowing. It's one of those things where you're going to have re-read it out of shock and though it may take awhile to lay it all out, it's definitely worth the wait!"

Oh shucks M.L. you know I love your comments. Sometimes that's the motivation I need when I'm feeling "blue" like my banner. I think you meant Carrie meeting Dylan's parents. Carrie briefly talked with Lana (Dylan's mom) last episode but they haven't met in person so that was what Dylan meant. Which of course has to be hidden the fact that Carrie told Lana that Dylan had cancer. Also, we learned that Dylan's father had died but it's something that Dylan doesn't like to discuss. You spite me by killing Chris...the only good person in Pasadena!

- - - Marli was freaked out by her newly unwrapped present. On the floor, was a teddy bear with a basketball uniform but the bear was bloody. She quickly scooped up the present and went back to her room. Marli gets on the phone to her mystery caller. Marli: (hysterics) I…I got something in the mail. It was a gift. A horrific looking teddy bear. I think he knows where I am. The teddy bear is wearing basket ball gear. Just like Tim. He was the star basketball player and he’s dead. Caller: That’s impossible. We moved you to an area where no one from Reno could find you. Marli: Well it’s not good enough if I’m getting threatening gifts. Marli gets a knock on her door which startles her. Marli: Someone’s here. I’ll call you back. Marli answers the door to find Blake standing in front of her with a smile on his face. Blake: I couldn’t wait so I thought I’d surprise you. Marli: You definitely surprised me. Blake: Are you okay? You seem a little…shaky. Marli: Not at all. I mean, I'm fine. Just fine. Blake looks at her dresser and notices the bloody teddy bear. He begins to examine it. Blake: What is this? Marli: I have no idea. I got it in the mail. Seems like I have a stalker. Blake: I’m sure I have a pretty good idea on who’s behind this. Marli: You do? Blake: Yeah. That son of a bitch Daniels! He’s trying to scare you off to get to me. Marli: I won’t let him. Not in the least! Marli leans in and buries her head into Blake’s chest. Blake smiled with warmth because he was able to protect someone again. All Marli could think of was the teddy bear and its macabre message. Marli: (thoughts) If only I could tell you the truth. - - - Episode 115: Shotgun Proposal Executive Producer & Series Creator: Matt Politylo Logo Designer: Mary Zimmerman - - - While having a day off from filming, Carlos paces around his room. He calls Jenny’s cell phone again but hears her voice mail and promptly leaves a message. Carlos: You know what Jenny…I honestly don’t know want to say. Carlos hangs up. He throws the phone across the room out of anger and frustration. Carlos gets a knock on his door, he answers it to find Nan with a plate full of cookies. Nan: May I come in? I baked you these. Carlos: Sure. Nan walks in and at how distraught Carlos is. Nan: How are you holding up? Carlos: Not so well. Jenny isn’t answering my calls and we’ve been through so much already. Now you’re back in our lives and I just have a little inkling that all hell will break loose. Nan: Hopefully you believe me when I tell you that I’m a changed person. I know that I did some bad things in the past but you’re the only person who ever saw that I was pure. You can’t deny that. I’m a better person because of you. Carlos: That’s really sweet of you to say. Nan: I’m sure Jenny will come around. It might be a lot for her to know that her mortal enemie is alive but I want her to see the good in me. The good that you always saw. Carlos: (joking) What’s in these cookies? Poison? Sleeping drugs? Nan: Take a bite and find out. Carlos takes a bite of a chocolate chip cookie. Carlos: You didn’t have to do this. What with you trying to clear your name, I didn’t know how you had time to bake. Nan: It’s a little secret skill I guess. I need to go but if you want to talk, come find me. I’m always here to listen or to make you food. Nan gives Carlos a friendly kiss on his cheek. She stands up and leaves. When she’s fully away from Carlos’s room, Nan pulls out a mini camera that was hanging from her purse. Nan: See that bitch? Your boyfriend thinks I’m sweet and before you know it, I’ll be giving him tons of sugar! - - - Marissa makes lunch for John when he wakes up after partying long and hard with Alley. She filled the plate with sandwiches and poured them Iced Tea. Marissa: I would say morning sunshine but it’s the afternoon. You must be living the life of a rock star. John: Ever since you moved in it’s been like a soap opera. Marissa: Let’s talk about last night. I honestly had nothing to do with it. John: You should explain this to Alley. Marissa: Call her over here and I will. John: No need. She spent the night. Alley walks into the kitchen with a long tee shirt that covered her skimpy pink bikini bottom underwear. Alley: Explain to me what? John: Marissa was just about to tell us why the picture that I wanted to show was switched to porn. It's funny how the first picture I ever took of Alley turned into something that Larry Flynt photographs! Alley: That is something that I would love to know too. Marissa: I found out that Antonio had done it. As John’s manager and sister, we’ve dropped all ties to him. I already have more respectful clients to deal with. John: Thanks sis. It’s sad that it had to end like that. Marissa: Yeah. John exits to use his bathroom leaving Marissa and Alley alone. Marissa: You look like a whore right now. Alley: I believe that Antonio had something to do with it but it was obviously a two person operation. Marissa: Keep it up. That mouth of yours is going to run your ass out of John’s life. Alley: Oh no it’s not honey. You came to my school which means you’re on my territory. I’ve dealt with stupider skanks than you but I’m the number one bitch here. Get that through your head that I know this game and there's nothing you can do about it! - - - Rena, Alicia, and Jace hang out at The Palace Café. Jace places his arms around Alicia. Alicia: See there is a place that doesn’t have alcohol. Jace: Yep. Instead it’s a little thing called caffeine. (to Rena) Where’s your boy toy? Will: Right behind you. Will sits next to Rena and kisses her cheek. Jace: Glad you can make it. Will: Likewise. What were you all talking about before I came? Will looks at Alicia who quickly looks away which Rena picks up on. Jace: Swinging. Alicia and I wanted to see if we could swing with you guys. You know, have group sex. Alicia: Please excuse Jace’s disgusting sense of humor. Rena: It’s probably all of the porn he watches. Jace: In speaking of which, Alicia you want to go and make a private video in my room? Alicia rolls her eyes. Alicia: Bye guys. Alicia stands up to leave but before she exits, Rena catches up to her and pulls her aside. Alicia: What’s up? Rena: I know. Alicia: Know what? Rena: I saw you and Will kiss. Alicia: That was just a spur of the moment thing. It really meant- Rena: Look you need to choose who it is you want. It’s not fair to the both of them and it’s not fair to me. I saw the looks and I could feel the tension. I'm not a fool. Jace: Babe are you coming or what? Alicia: Give me a second. (to Rena) Please don’t tell Jace. I promise that I’ll deal with this as soon as possible. Alicia exits with Jace. Rena sits down with Will. Will: What was that all about? Rena: I just made Alicia realize that she has a decision to make. If you’re lucky, you might just be rid of me after all. - - - In Nan’s secret room, the door creaks open and Anna Lee gives her dinner. Anna Lee: Enjoy. I cooked it myself. Jenny: Thanks. Can I talk to you for a second? Please just leave the door open. Anna Lee: You better not run. Jenny: I won’t. I just wanted to tell you that I was in your position at one time. Your sister used to boss me around. Anna Lee: Nan does no such thing. Jenny: Don’t let her do this to you. You seem to be the good Sheridan. Considering what happened to Tracie. Anna Lee: Tracie? What about Tracie? Jenny: I think that you should talk to your sister about that but I feel as if… Jenny grabs the door open and tries to make a run for it until Anna Lee tackles Jenny to the ground. Anna Lee: I thought I could trust you but that was a mistake! Jenny: Let me free. Please! Anna Lee: NO! Anna Lee backhands Jenny across the face. Jenny grabs onto her hair and flips her over. Jenny lunges after her again and both girls knock over a lamp that was next to the living room couch. Anna Lee kicks Jenny in the mouth. Jenny stands up and tries leaving again but Anna Lee grabs her leg to bring her back onto the floor. Anna Lee looks around and finds Nan’s gun. She grabs it and aims it at Jenny. Anna Lee: You’re going to get back into that room and enjoy that dinner. Jenny: I’m sorry for what I did. You’re being brainwashed. Anna Lee: Shut up and march! Anna Lee pushes Jenny back into the room and locks the door. Anna Lee: What do I need to know about Tracie? - - - Ava calls Sky who answers her cell phone on the second ring. She was happy that it was Ava calling. Sky: Hey you. Do you want to come over? Ava: Actually I was wondering if you want to come over to my place. Sky: Sure we can do that. Ava: Great. I’ll leave the door open. You won’t have to knock or anything. Sky: See you soon babe. Ava gets a knock on her door. She answers to find Nate with flowers. Ava: What are these for? Nate: These are for you. I was thinking that maybe we can rub them all over our bodies. Ava: Such a romantic. Nate: I know you’re making a sexual transition so I’m trying to keep it interesting. Ava: You really are a nice guy. Nate: (sarcastic) Actually I’m a whore. Ava: That too. Why don’t you get undressed and I’ll meet you in my bedroom. Nate: Yes ma’am! Nate goes into Ava’s room and strips down to his boxers. Ava sees Sky pull up to her parking lot. Ava then jumps on top of Nate to make out with him passionately. They roll around the bed kissing and groping. Ava then hears the door open. Sky walks in and sees Nate and Ava. Sky: (shocked) What the hell is going on here? - - - Carrie was in deep thought about the conversation that Victor had with her earlier. The conversation that she was sure not to tell Dylan about. Carrie: Maybe it would be best if you just go back to Lexington. Victor: But I’m still in love with you. Carrie: We can never be. Victor: So that makes us a mistake? Everything that we went through, was for nothing? All because of Juliana. Carrie: I think about you too but I can’t think of you in that way. I’m sorry Victor. Carrie ends her flashback when Dylan is standing in front of her. Carrie: Did you get in contact with your mom? Dylan: I did. She can’t wait to meet you. Carrie: Yeah I can’t wait to meet her too. Dylan: What all did you talk about with her? Carrie bites her lip. Carrie: Nothing really. Dylan: Can you by chance lend me a hand with something? Carrie: Sure. What’s do you need? Dylan: There’s something in the bedroom I needed to move. It’s a two person operation. Carrie walks into her bedroom and finds lit candles in the shape of a heart on the floor. In the center was a small black box. Dylan: Go ahead and open it. Carrie obeys. Inside was an engagement ring. When she turns around Dylan is on one knee. Dylan: Will you marry me? - - - Outside of Carrie’s room, Victor was spying on the two of them. He saw Dylan proposing to Carrie. Victor: I have to do something about this. Victor reaches into his jacket and takes out his gun. As the moon was shining, a gun shot goes off.

Is anyone really dead in STEAM? This was a powerhouse episode. Very fast paced and exciting. Let's start with the return of Ashley. She's purely psychotic and overly possessive as she always was. Loved seeing her back on the canvas. Hope being in Passadena is a little strange but Hope smoking crack with Suga and Rufus, makes perfect sense. The catfight between Jodie and Jenn was necessary. I was so happy that Jodie beat Jenn's ass and I like that you incorporated the "knife" wielding skills from the previous cat fight. It was also very powerful that Jode admitted to everyone her big secret. Even though it was a shock to see Dahlia, I thought it was a little too much. First we had the return of Ashley and now Dahlia! Also, why couldn't it have been a cliffhanger. Who shot the big bad bitch of Passadena? It was still a really good episode and I'm on pins and needles to find out what's going to happen next.

Point Palace returns from its unnanounced hiatus on April 23rd. Series Creator and Executive Producer Matt Politylo has been busy with his other career, acting. Dawning the stage name Matthew Preston, he is to star in the off broadway peformance Villains as the infamous John Wilkes Booth. He's also to play a jaded photographer named Alex in the indie film The Weekend and on the popular Yahoo web series Something To Be Desired in May as the ever curious Josh. What's to come for the characters of Point Palace? Politylo dishes and gives a few tidbit previews to how the rest of Season 5 will pan out: - Carrie's loud mouth may cause problems for Dylan and his mother Lana while ex-boyfriend turned uncle Victor still can't get over his first love. - Marissa cuts ties to Antonio to continue to go after Alley and John. - Marli's past comes to light and a huge secret will be revealed which will be a huge advantage for Bryan to get back at Blake. - Ava takes revenge against Sky and Nate's caught in the middle. - Ginny offers to give up her ownership to Tanisha and Agatha but only on her own terms. - Carlos searches for Jenny while being lured by Nan as Jenny fights to survive and sees Anna Lee as a key to her exit. - Jace becomes weary of Alicia and Will's interaction and things become a little violent for the quadrangle. All of this and more when Point Palace returns!

OMG is all I have to say to that amazing cliffhanger ending. You wrote it out so well too because I seriously thought that Ashley was dead. I'm so happy to see her back as LIR and helping out her dear old sister. It was classic soap opera! Loved seeing Natti getting catty with Rufus. She deserves to slap her across the face for all of the havoc she's been wreaking but it's only because Ruf is in love. Hell hath no fury like a tranny scorned. It was very nice to see Jodie get a second chance and I can't wait to see the disaster at the press conference. I'm hoping that Jodie beats Jenn down in front of everyone on camera. If Ria wants to redeem herself, maybe she should help stop Jenn. Wow M.L., I was shocked when I read this episode. Just wow.

Durand's "sweet jusus" comment had me picturing Katt Williams saying it on his comedy show. Not because the characters are outrageous but because you're on fire with the episode postings. I play catch up with one and see that there's another one already posted. Good job though. I think it's about time Sister Patterson's holier than thou attitude blows up in her old skanktastic face. When she hit D.C. with the bible, it was a hoot. Though instead of one her sons finding out, I think Rufus finding out about it would've given her more ammo to use in this town. At first the scene between Bryan and Rufus was strange but when Rufus started to extort him, it got interesting. I'm thinking that someone might be out to shut Rufus up once and for all. (Hint, hint...a really good whodunnit!) Loved seeing Sabryn's bitch, Gil, back in the picture. I'm crossing my fingers that his role gets a little boost. Maybe he could accidentally find the tape to destroy Bryan so that he could have Sabryn all to himself. (I'm thinking like a character from PP.) Nice episode and I'll read the next one when I get a chance. I also have to catch up with HHD and Novi.
