Mr. Vixen

Thanks you guys! Carl - Thanks so much for the compliment on the Opal/Erica scene. I'm not going to lie, I teared up a bit writing that one. Very emotional. I always loved that friendship. I am really looking forward to exploring the Hayley/Skye relationship as well. Bright Eyes - Peter is definitely a very naughty boy, ha! We're going to find out quite a bit about his past with Skye, and I think you'll be pleased!

I KNEW you would appreciate that, Carl. Skye is one of those characters who, even though she's been away, seems to know what's gone on with the people she once lived near/interacted with. What I liked about writing that scene is that I wanted there to be some element of respect there. Yes, Skye is catty with Viki, but she isn't all out bitchy like she was with Blair. Viki kept it classy, and handled herself with dignity. And even though they both threw some barbs at each other, it's evident they don't all out hate each other, but rather are cautious and suspicious of one another.

Heaven's Meadow Season 1 - Episode Four "Baby, You Don't Know a Thing About Me" This episode features: Susan Lucci as Erica Kane Rick Herbst as Lucas Erickson Jerry ver Dorn as Clint Buchanan with Jill Larson as Opal Cortlandt Kelly Ripa as Hayley Vaughan and Robin Christopher as Skye Chandler _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Skye: Lucas: (At Georgio's - A popular Italian Restaurant in Heaven's Meadow) Lucas: What are you doing here, Skye? Skye: I think the better question is, what are you doing outside of a jail cell, Peter? Lucas: I'm not Peter anymore, Skye. I am Lucas Erickson now. Skye: You can change your name as many times as you want, Peter. I know exactly who you are. Lucas: What do you want from me, Skye? Skye: I want nothing from you, and nothing to do with you. I wouldn't take water from you if I was on fire. You are scum. Lucas: That's ironic, coming from the woman who set fire to the home of an AIDs victim, while she was inside with her son. Skye: Don't you dare throw my past in my face, Peter. I have done some horrible things in my life, but none of them compare to what you did. (Sarcastically) Lucas: Oh yes, saintly Skye. She does evil things, but she dos them with love so it's all okay. Give it a rest, Skye. You are no saint. (A cunning smile spreads across Skye's face) Skye: Tell me, "Lucas". Did you ever come into that money you so desperately wanted? Or did those funds dry up during your time in the big house? Lucas: You know, what? I'm done here. Goodbye, Skye. Skye: This isn't over, Peter. I won't let you do here, what you did in Minnesota. Lucas: I'm not scared of you. Skye: You should be. (Skye walks away from the table and exits the restaurant.) _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hayley: Clint: (At "The Meadow Club" - A high-scale hotel/club in Heaven's Meadow. Hayley sits at the bar trying desperately to fight the urge to take a drink. She stares at the bottles of booze on the shelf behind the bar, longing for a drink. Lost so deeply in her want for alcohol, she doesn't notice as Clint Buchanan taps on her shoulder.) Clint: Ms. Vaughan? (Startled, Hayley turns around) Hayley: Yes? How can I help you? Clint: My name is Clint Buchanan, I-- Hayley: If you're from the press, I'd be happy to set up and interview, but now just isn't a good time. (Clint chuckles and takes a seat next to Hayley) Clint: No, I'm not from the press. I'm the owner of a corporation called Buchanan Enterprises, and I've just purchased the production company that produces your show. Hayley: I wasn't aware that it was for sale. Clint: Well, it wasn't, per se. But everything's for sale, for the right price. Hayley: If you don't mind my asking, why would you want to buy a company most known for producing a syndicated talk show on it's last leg? Clint: Wave is hardly on it's last leg, in my opinion. Hayley: Well, then you must have heard that Erica Kane is coming aboard. Clint: Yes, I've heard. But that's not why I have hope for Wave. I'm sure that she'll be a wonderful addition to the show, but you are Wave, and I want you to know that I understand and respect that. Hayley: Well, I appreciate you saying that Mr. Buchanan. I look forward to working with you. Clint: You as well. Well, I'm sorry to bother you so late in the day. We'll discuss this more tomorrow. See you at work. (With a smile, Clint stands up and exits the restaurant. Hayley sighs. Despite his kind words, Hayley was not reassured. She still doubts herself and fears her life is crumbling around her. After a long moment, she orders a martini.) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Erica: Opal: PINE VALLEY, PENNSYLVANIA: (At the airport.) Opal: I just can't believe you're leaving Pine Valley. Erica: Is it really that hard to believe? I always said I would some day. Opal: Yes, but honey you've been saying that for so long that we all kind of stopped listening. Erica: Well, when Erica Kane sets her mind to something, it happens. No matter if it takes 40 years. Opal: And I am happy for you, honey. We all are. But I'm gonna miss you. What will I do without you? Erica: And I'll miss you too, Opal. Of course I will. But it's your job to oversee Pine Valley, now. These people have never known a Pine Valley without Erica Kane! I certainly wouldn't want the town to become stale, and if anyone can keep something crazy, it's you. (Opal laughs.) Opal:Well fine! But do I have to refer to myself in the third person now? (They both laugh, privately reflecting on their many years of friendship.) Erica: Promise me that you'll look after Bianca, and my grandchildren? Opal: I would be honored. (Tears well in both women's eyes. They embrace for a long moment, before pulling away and wiping the tears from their eyes. The loudspeaker announces that Erica's plane is boarding. Erica walks towards the gate. She turns and waves good bye to her friend, before walking through the gate, tears in her eyes.) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ HEAVEN'S MEADOW, NEW HAMPSHIRE: (At "The Meadow Club". Hayley still sits at the bar. She is now on her second drink. Part of her regrets the drinks, but an overwhelming part of her craves more. As she begins to get up, she turns and sees her sister Skye entering the restaurant. She quickly turns around and asks the bartender to take her glass away. She sits silently at the bar, hoping Skye won't see her. She's out of luck however, as Skye immediately spots her and walks towards her. With a smirk on her face, she begins speaking.) Skye: Well hey, sis. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you all for reading! Please Comment! Don't forget to check back tomorrow For an all new episode of HEAVEN'S MEADOW. And don't forget... Heaven is the New Hell!

Thanks, boo!

Thanks Spencer! I don't believe Angell and Sean ever interacted on Y&R, but I imagine them having firey chemistry!

The New Hampshire residents are NOT aware of Hayley's alcoholism. That will be addressed, too. Skye and Ric never hooked up on GH. A lot of fans wanted them too, and they were in the beginning stages of a relationship when Robin Christopher decided to leave the show. Your ideas about a male prostitute are very intuitive. I've been waiting for someone to notice Jacqueline's last name hasn't been revealed. Yes, there's a reason. Stay tuned. And thank you for the compliment on the title!

Thank you, Carl! I didn't want it to just be "Oh yeah, we all happen to be in New Hampshire", ha! I want everyone to have their reasoning. And that is something that will continue to be addressed and expanded as time goes on.

Hi Carl! The Blair/Skye relationship will be explored in a way that will encompass more than just "I hate you, you hate me, let's be bitches". Yes, there will be more catfights, and no they don't like each other. But it's going to be an interesting relationship to flesh out. Erica and Hayley definitely aren't feuding, and I wanted to make that clear. Again, I really want to explore that relationship in different ways. It's going to be important down the line. Thank you for the comments about Jacqueline and the art gallery. I found it important to really emphasize the connection that Lindsay feels to the building. Because with Blair and/or Skye (you'll have to wait and see!) buying a club, and Lindsay buying an art gallery, I didn't want it to just be "Oh everyone is popping into New Hampshire and buying real estate!". I really want all of the characters actions to have meaning or connection. I'm not going to lie, I knew the Tad/Lindsay dialogue was weak. Tad is a very unique character, in his mannerisms, the way he speaks, etc. And it's taking me some getting used to to try and encompass that. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Hope you enjoyed it, overall, though!

Heaven's Meadow Season 1 - Episode Three "Skye's the Limit" This episode features: Robin Christopher as Skye Chandler-Quartermaine Ric Herbst as Lucas Erickson Angell Conwell as Jacqueline Sean Kanan as Brandon Mayweather Vail Bloom as Brianna Emerson with Kelly Ripa as Hayley Vaughn and Erica Slezak as Victoria Lord _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Viki: Skye: Lucas: (Inside Georgio's - A popular Italian Restaurant in Heaven's Meadow. Skye is sitting alone at a table, dining, when Viki walks in and spots her. She walks over to Skye and begins speaking.) Viki: Do my eyes deceive me, or am I looking at Skye Chandler? (Skye's surprise at seeing Viki shows on her face) Skye: Well, hello Viki. Viki: What brings you to New Hampshire, Skye? Skye: It's nice to see you, too, Viki. (Viki sits down at the table with Skye.) Viki: Is there something going on in Heaven's Meadow that I may need to know about? Something dramatic? Skye: You know, everybody in Llanview seems to share the same problem. What has it been, Viki, ten years? And yet, as soon as you see me, the first words to come out of your mouth are these veiled comments that imply that I'm up to something Viki: Is that really such an unreasonable assumption, Skye?The last time we interacted certainly gave me reason enough to be cautious. Yoou infiltrated my business, befriended me and then revealed that you were married to a man I believed to be my husband. Skye: More ancient history lessons, courtesy of Llanview's finest.But on the subject of husbands, Viki, I hear your current one is a murderer. Viki: Clint was cleared of all charges. (Skye chuckles) Skye: And with a stellar judiciary system like the Llanview PD, I'm sure that means he's innocent. Viki: I didn't approach you looking for a fight, Skye. That wasn't my intention at all. But all arguments aside, we can agree on one thing. Llanview seems to be quite a magnet for drama. I'm hoping that Heaven's Meadow will prove to be different. In fact, that's one of the largest reasons that I decided to move here: to get away from it all. Skye: And whether you believe it or not, I'm looking for the same thing. Viki: Well then, I hope you find what you're looking for. And on that note, I'll leave you to your meal. (Viki gets up and leaves the table. Skye's cell phone rings. She picks it up and begins speaking to her real-estate agent.) Skye: I hope you're calling with good news? (She pauses, waiting for a reply. As she listens, she gets up and begins walking towards the exit) Skye: Wonderful! I'll be over soon to sign the paperwork. I'm ready to get my club up and ru-- (She stops mid-word when she sees Lucas Erickson sitting at a booth near the exit) Skye: I'm going to have to call you back. (She hangs up the phone and moves towards Lucas' booth) Skye: Hello, Peter. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Brandon: Jacqueline: (Inside Brandon Mayweather's apartment. He is sitting on his couch when there is a knock on the door. He gets up to answer the door. When he opens it, Jacqueline is standing in the hallway.) Brandon: Hi, baby. (The two kiss. Jacqueline enters the apartment and sits on the couch.) Jacqueline: Hey angel. I hope you don't mind me just dropping by. Brandon: Of course I don't. You are always welcome here. (She reaches out and touches his cheek.) Jacqueline: You are so sweet, Brandon. I'm very lucky to have you. Brandon: I'm the lucky one. How was your day? Jacqueline: Fine, I suppose. I got a call a few moments ago, telling me a space that one of my clients was ready to put an offer on has been purchased. I knew there was a prospective buyer, but I had no idea it would move this quickly. Brandon: I'm sorry, I know it's never easy to lose a sale. Jacqueline: Oh, I'm not even worried about the sale. It's my client I'm worried about. She really had her heart set on that space. I haven't told her yet. Brandon: I'm sure she'll understand. And with a kick-ass real estate agent like you, she'll find another property in no time. Jacqueline: I hope so. How was your day? Brandon: Stressful. Ever since the new owner came aboard, I've been feeling a bit anxious. Jacqueline: It's always hard adapting to a new boss. I take it she's not easy to get along with? Brandon: Oh no, Viki's great. It's Anjelica who's got me nervous. Jacqueline: I always thought you liked Anjelica? Brandon: Oh, I do. But we all know she doesn't have the cleanest past, and ever since Viki came to town, she's been acting different. I'm worried she's up to something. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Hayley: Brianna: (Inside the WAVE studio. Hayley is in her dressing room, just before she is set to film an episode of the series. She walks towards the far side of the room and opens a cabinet placed against the wall. She pulls a bottle of vodka and a glass out of the cabinet. Moving to the refrigerator next to the cabinet, she removes a lemon slice. She pours the vodka into the glass and squeezes the lemon into it. She raises the glass to her lips, just as the door swings open. Brianna, Hayley's assistant, has entered.) Brianna: Hayley, sorry to bother you, bu-- (She is unable to finish her sentence, as Hayley drops the glass after being startled by Brianna's entrance.) Hayley: I'm sorry, you startled me, that's all. I was just deep in thought. Brianna: I'm so sorry Hayley, let me help you clean that up. (She begins to move towards Hayley, but Hayley objects.) Hayley: No! No, it's fine. I've got it. Just tell me whatever it is you needed. (Brianna is startled by Hayley's reaction. After a moment, she spots the vodka bottle on the counter-top, as Hayley hadn't had a chance to put it away.) Brianna: Hayley, are you drinking vodka? Hayley: Yes? Is there a problem with that? Brianna:No, it's just that it's only 9 AM...Normally I never see you drink, but this is the second time this week you've been having a drink on set. Hayley: You are my assistant, Brianna, not my therapist. I appreciate your concern, but there's no need for it. I'ts just been a stressful week. This is my final week as the sole-host of WAVE, and I'm under a lot of stress. Brianna: So Erica Kane is definitely coming, then? Hayley: Yes, she arrives tomorrow. And I'm excited for her to be here, I really am...But sometimes, when things change, I get nervous. So I was just trying to calm my nerves, is all. Now what can I do for you? Brianna: I just wanted to give you these note-cards, is all. There's been a couple changes to today's shows. (Hayley takes the cards from Brianna.) Hayley: Thank you. (Brianna smiles and exits the room. Once the door is closed behind her, she walks to the end of the hall. Making sure no one is around, she takes out her cell phone. She dials the phone and holds it to her ear.) Brianna: Everything is right on track. Erica arrives tomorrow. You'll have her in your hands in no time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for reading! Don't forget to check back tomorrow, For an ALL NEW episode of Heaven's Meadow!

I'm really enjoying writing the Blair/Skye relationship. It's so complicated and fun, lol I know Tad/Lindsay seems ironic considering that they were married in real life, but I couldn't resist. I think they'll be a good match.

Anyone who doesn't love this song is no longer my friend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em328ua_Lo8

Thanks you guys! I'm glad people are digging the Blair vs. Skye feud. It's going to take a major twist, soon! AMD@GH - LMAO! You'd love that, wouldn't you?

Skye's remark, as well as Blair sayin Skye slept her way through the East coast were really just them being catty and trying to get under each others skin. Not necessarily "fact" but rather what they "heard" about each other in their time apart. Hayley going by Vaughan is a celebrity thing. That will be touched on more later. Ric's character is going to be very pivotal down the line! Thanks for reading!

Thanks so much! I knew it would be rather controversial to start episode one with the death of a major character, but I think it will be worth it in the overall grand scheme of the show!

Oh and thank you SO much, beebs! I hope I won't disappoint you!

Brett, I thought the dialogue was appropriate because its been 10 months since her death. So while they're still grieving and upset, they've healed enough to have a rational conversation about it. They've accepted, bug haven't *fully* moved on, if that makes sense.

Carl, if you Google Angell Conwell, you'll find pics of her! Thanks again for your comments on the dialogue. Erica isn't necessarily happy about being in New Hampshire, but she'll deal with it! ~bl~ yes he was cleared of all charges. That will be addressed soon!

I just wish Bobbie was around to give Heather a piece of her mind. And I wonder who she would want Luke to choose. She never liked Tracy, but how would she feel about Luke/Anna?

Thank you Carl! I'm sorry the photos didn't work for you. It was just photos of the actors for those who didn't know what they looked like. You probably already know what the entire cast looks like just from the names, being the soap expert that you are! Thank you so much for the comment on the dialogue. That scene took me the longest to write because I wanted it to have the right emotional impact. You know Tina is always on my mind! Thank you for reading!

The de-sorasing is definitely undone, because there was no damn way Erica could have been born in 1962. That would have made her 8 when the show started!

No, no, no! I meant TracyQartermaine, the poster who used to post here!!! I haven't seen today's GH yet.

Does anyone know what happened to TracyQartermaine? I miss her!

Since there seems to be some confusion, yes it is Lindsay, who will appear tomorrow. The idea was just that the viewers would be intrigued by Victoria getting a phone call from a "Ms. Rappaport" which would build some speculation as to whether or not it's Lindsay, and if so, what is she doing in Heaven's Meadow. Bad writing on my behalf, I suppose!!

Thanks SFK I had no idea the New Hampshire line would be as funny to everyone as it has been! Glad it provided some laughs.

Mama, I agree that it was better than the past few years! Although they did pay tribute to ATWT and GL in Vegas, with video montages. I just wish we had gotten some OLTL/AMC montages. Anyway, cannot WAIT to see the Tracy scenes today.
