    Ashley Abbotts House

    Paul
    What do you say Ashley, will you marry me?

    Ashley
    Please tell me I am not going to regret this.

    Paul
    I promise. This will help me out so much and I promise all I am looking for is a wife on paper. We can sleep in separate bedrooms and everything.

    Ashley
    Oh, Paul I’m not worried about that at all. I know you would respect me and my space.

    Paul
    So, I haven’t heard a yes or a no yet. I’m sorry to rush you, but I am desperate.

    Ashley
    Wow, thanks.

    Paul
    I didn’t mean it like that.

    Ashley
    I know. (she takes a deep breath) Okay. I will marry you, on one condition.

    Café Russe

    Thorne
    Donna? Care to explain that voicemail you just left for Jackie?

    Donna
    Thorne, it isn’t what you think. It isn’t what it sounded like.

    Thorne
    Oh, well good, because it sounds like you were plotting with Jackie Marone to destroy my brother’s marriage to your sister.

    Donna
    Thorne, its no secret that Jackie or myself are big fans of Ridge. But, we had nothing to do with Ridge and Brooke’s marriage crumbling. Your brother took care of that all on his own.

    Thorne
    Yeah, that may be, but I heard everything you just said to Jackies voicemail. You two had a plan cracked out, only you didn’t need to follow through with it. I cant believe you would be so selfish and spiteful.

    Donna
    Now Thorne, wait a minute.

    Thorne
    No you wait and let me finish. How would you like it if someone was scheming to break us up? Huh? You know as well as I do that not many people like us being together, but we fought them and now you have the nerve to pull this?

    Donna
    Thorne, of course I would hate it if someone would do that to us, but I know Brooke so well I know that Ridge is not the one for her and now she knows it too. I know people don’t like us together, but I also know that we are meant to be together just like I know Brooke is meant for Nick, not Ridge.

    Thorne
    I wish I felt the same.

    Donna
    Of course you feel differently than I do. Ridge is your brother. Its no wonder you want what he feels is best for him.

    Thorne
    No, Donna, you misunderstood. Yes, I don’t feel the same way about Ridge and Brooke as you do, but I wasn’t talking about them. I was talking about us.

    Donna
    Thorne… what are you saying?

    Thorne
    I’m saying, I think we are over Donna. I can’t be with someone who goes behind my back and does something like this. I can’t do it to me and I cant do it to Ally. (he leaves with Donna having tears running down her face)

    Ashley’s House

    Paul
    What’s the condition?

    Ashley
    We sign a pre nup. I know that you would never do anything that would hurt me, but just for security reasons I think…

    Paul
    Ash, its not problem. No offense taken, I completely understand, and I will have the papers drawn up tomorrow, when we go by the courthouse to get our marriage license.

    Ashley
    Tomorrow? Don’t you only have a certain amount of days to get married before the licence expires.

    Paul
    Yeah I thought we would get married as soon as possible. The trial will be starting soon, is that going to be a problem?

    Ashley
    No, no problem at all.

    Paul
    Great, I am going to call my lawyer and tell her the good news. (he goes to the back of the house)

    The doorbell rings, and Ashley answers it.

    Ashley
    Jack what a lovely surprise, I wasn’t expecting you tonight.

    Jack
    Yeah, I just swung by to tell you that I am leaving town.

    Ashley
    What? You’re leaving so soon?

    Jack
    Relax. I am only going to be gone for a few days, I will be back, I’m not through with my business meetings.

    Ashley
    Well good, because I am going to need someone to walk me down the aisle.

    Jack
    I am sorry did you say aisle?

    Ashley
    Yes. I have agreed to marry Paul to better his case against his ex-brother-in-law.

    Jack
    Look we will have to talk about this when I get back, I promise I wont be long. By the way I am going on my trip with Paul’s…

    Ashley’s phone rings.

    Ashley
    Hang on Jackie. It Abby, I haven’t talked to her all day. Go ahead answer it, I will let myself out and I will see you in a couple of days.

    The Next Day

    Extreme Catwalk: Forrester Edition Offices

    Thomas
    Rick you can’t do that.

    Rick
    Well my Executive Producer credit says otherwise.

    Thomas
    Grandpa, Dad, you and the other producers, and myself have already decided on principal casting. All of the contestants have been contacted, they meet here tomorrow. Your going to call somebody at the last minute and tell them they have been replaced?

    Rick
    Yeah, I just don’t like this girl.

    Thomas
    Well, I do!

    Rick
    I think you like this girl.

    Thomas
    What?

    Rick
    You are pathetic, Thomas. You only meet this girl at her audition and you fall head over heels with her. Here you can take her picture home with you and have sweet dreams. It will be the last time you see her.

    Thomas
    I like this girls sketches I see good things in them.

    Rick
    You cant see nothing you are so green it’s sickening.

    Thomas
    A lot of people would disagree with you Rick, after all that’s why I am here as a judge and you got a producer credit. Everyone knows it is only a title, you do not have the creative control to make a decision like this without consulting everyone else involved.

    Rick
    We will see about that

    Thomas
    Yeah we will.

    Hospital
    Stephanie visits Massimo in the hospital

    Stephanie
    Hey Mass, how are you, silly question I know. I kind of like this, I can talk all I want and you cant interrupt me with your overbearing tone. I am kidding, but you know it’s true. I just got in from Chicago, I went to visit Angela’s grave. I can’t believe it had been forty-five years since my baby was taken from me. You were there to comfort me remember? You helped me pull through, and damn it I am going to do the same for you. Wake up Mass, a lot of people need you. Our son needs you, I need you. There is so much more time to be had, don’t give up, don’t give up. That’s what you told me all those years ago and now I am telling you, don’t give up.

    She walks out of the room and her cell phone rings

    Stephanie
    Hello

    James
    Stephanie, its James how are you are you back in town?

    Stephanie
    Yes, I am at the hospital, visiting Massimo.

    James
    What a coincidence, I am here consulting with a patient. I was wondering if you were free for lunch.

    Stephanie
    Yes I am, I would love to catch up, say meet me in hospital lobby in half an hour and we leave from there?

    James
    Sounds great, see you then.

    James hangs up and walks down the hall, a mystery person is following him everywhere he goes.

    Paul Williams’s mother and brother arrive in Los Angeles.

    Café Russe

    Donna is waiting on Brooke to arrive to join her for dinner

    Brooke
    Hey sorry, I got here as soon as I could.

    Donna
    No, it’s fine. I shouldn’t have called you at such late notice.

    Brooke
    I am glad you did. Since Ridge and I split up I have been eating take out every night. I don’t think I can stand it anymore.

    Donna
    Well I figured you needed a night out, and since Thorne had to work late, I hated giving up this reservation. Besides we never get to spend any time together anymore. So tell me how was your meeting with James? That is if you want to talk about it.

    Brooke
    No I don’t mind at all. It went really well. We just talked about how I was feeling and he said it was perfectly normal to feel the way I did.

    Donna
    Did?

    Brooke
    Yeah. James helped me realize that my life is not over. It is only beginning a new chapter. I am going to devote my time to being a great mom to Hope and R.J. and I am not going to search for love or a man. If it or he happens to find me then great, if not that’s fine too.

    Donna
    Wow, I am impressed.

    Brooke
    What you think I need a man in my life to be happy?

    Donna
    Well Brooke that is kind of how it has always been.

    Brooke
    But, that’s it Donna. That’s how it was. James helped me see that I don’t need to be in relationship to have a life. There are so many other things to appreciate in life. I am no longer searching for approval of man. The only approval I need is from my children and family and friends.

    Donna
    I think I am going to like this new Brooke.

    Brooke
    I like that. “A new Brooke”. This new Brooke is going to be a great mother and sister and career oriented person.

    Donna
    That is great and all but promise me one thing.

    Brooke
    What’s that?

    Donna
    That you keep the old Brooke somewhere back there, just in case she is ever needed.

    They laugh

    Ridges office at Forrester Originals

    Ridge
    You what?

    Thomas
    I said I want to drop out of the reality show.

    Ridge
    Why son? You were so looking forward to it.

    Thomas
    I just got to thinking, who am I to place judgment on these people. Most of who I am sure have more fashion experience than I do.

    Ridge
    Thomas you have something better than experience. You have raw talent. A God given talent. The things I see in your sketches, I wish I had that potential at your age.

    Thomas
    Grandpa wasn’t impressed with my initial sketches.

    Ridge
    Your grandpa has a different style. He is more classic style and I am not saying there is anything wrong with that. I learned everything I know from that man. He is a genius. And besides he loved your latest work. So much so, we are discussing making a line of it.

    Thomas
    Are you serious?

    Ridge
    As a heart attack.

    Thomas
    This is so awesome! I cant wait to tell..

    Ridge
    No, no, no, you can’t tell anybody. One it hasn’t been fully green lighted and second I know your grandfather is going to be the one to want to tell you.

    Thomas
    This is so great.

    Ridge
    See, does that make you change your mind? I think a young up and coming designer with his own burgeoning clothing line would make an excellent judge on fashion geared reality show. What do you say Thom?

    Thomas
    I say yes. I am in!

    Ashley Abbott’s house

    Paul
    Ashley, thank you so much for inviting me over.

    Ashley
    No problem. You said you wanted to talk so…

    Paul
    Ashley, I need your help.

    Café Russe

    Jack and “Patty” have just been seated at there table.

    Hostess
    Enjoy your meal. Your server will be with you shortly.

    Jack
    I am so glad that you were able to meet with me, Patty.

    Tawny (as Patty)
    Oh, no problem Jack.

    Jack
    Thank you again for rescheduling this dinner. My meeting yesterday ran later than I had hoped.

    The waitress enters
    Amber
    Hi my name is Amber, I will be your server this evening…. Ah!

    Jack
    Amber?

    Amber
    Jack ah…

    Tawny (as Patty)
    (to Jack) You know this woman?

    Jack
    Yeah, she lived in Genoa City for a little while.

    Amber
    I came back to L.A. a few weeks ago. What can I get you to drink?

    Jack
    Bring us a bottle of your best wine.

    Amber
    Right away.

    Jack
    (to Tawny) That’s odd, running into her like that. Although, I’m not surprised after what happened with her in Genoa City.

    Tawny (as Patty)
    What happened?

    Jack
    Let’s not waste our time talking about Amber, how have you been? Have you seen Paul yet?

    Tawny (as Patty)
    Paul? Oh right my brother yeah we reconnected, it was great. Jack, you seem a little preoccupied.

    Jack
    Yeah, I’m sorry, where are my manners? I haven’t seen you in years I just can’t get my business meeting off my mind.

    Tawny (as Patty)
    Do you want to talk about it?

    Jack
    I would love to. But I would rather keep it under wraps. I don’t want to jinx it.

    Tawny (as Patty)
    I see. Not until all of the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed.

    Jack
    That’s right. Hey I just got a crazy idea.

    Tawny (as Patty)
    What?

    Jack
    What are you doing for next few days?

    Tawny (as Patty)
    Nothing big planned.

    Jack
    Are you working?

    Tawny (as Patty)
    Not at the moment.

    Jack
    How would you like to go away with me for a few days? Someplace warm and tropical.

    Tawny (as Patty)
    I say… Yes!

    Amber
    Okay here is the best wine in the building.. Now what can I get you for your meal..

    Jack
    Don’t bother, Amber. We won’t be eating.

    Amber
    You won’t?

    Jack
    No, my good friend Patty and I are about to embark on a tropical vacation and I would be willing to bet that Patty could use a new beach wardrobe.

    Tawny (as Patty)
    Could I!

    Jack
    Here you go Amber, (drops cash on the table) that should be enough to cover the wine plus a tip.

    As he and Tawny leave, Tawny turns and looks at Amber, who motions “call me” with her hand.


    Café Russe

    Brooke and Donna are eating their meal and talking.

    Brooke
    So have you talked to Storm lately?

    Donna
    Not lately. With his new job and seeing Felicia, he doesn’t call much.

    Brooke
    Felicia really? I knew they were close, but are they dating? She hasn’t peeped a word at work.

    Donna
    He says they are taking is slow, and he really doesn’t have time for a relationship right now with his new job and working for that witch D.A. Tartaro.

    Brooke
    I can’t believe storm voluntary took a job working for her after what she did to Ridge on the stand and all.

    Donna
    Speaking of have you talked to him?

    Brooke
    Ridge? Not much only when I need to for work or something about the kids.

    Donna
    So you two are definitely over?

    Brooke
    Yes. There is so much history between us, but I can’t be with him anymore.

    Donna
    So changing the subject…

    Brooke
    Thank you.

    Donna
    Did you hear about Massimo?

    Brooke
    Yeah, I was actually there when Nick and Jackie got the news.

    Donna
    You were?

    Brooke
    Yeah, I swung by the hospital after my session with James and thought I would talk to Bridget but she wasn’t on a break and then I ran into Nick and just sat with him and talked to him, you know tried to get his mind off things.

    Donna
    What did you two talk about?

    Brooke
    Well you can’t tell anyone.

    Donna
    I wont I promise.

    Brooke
    Nick and Taylor are over.

    Donna
    What!

    Brooke
    Apparently Taylor has been acting out since she lost the baby and Nick says he cant control her anymore all they do is fight. He wants to see her get the help she needs and everything, but he says he can’t be with her anymore.

    Donna
    Brooke that is great!

    Brooke
    Donna!

    Donna
    No, I mean I hate that about Taylor and everything. But you and Nick were so great together.

    Brooke
    Donna stop! What did we talk about earlier? Maybe the old Brooke would be running back to Nick, but I am not.


    Ashley Abbott’s House


    Ashley:
    My help? What is it?

    Paul
    I am just going to spit it out and cut the chase.

    Ashley
    Please do.

    Paul
    Ashley, in order to better my case against Javier I need to be married.

    Ashley
    Paul, no don’t even.

    Paul
    Ashley, please. Please marry me. Come on you are a mother, you know what it is like to be a parent. I really never have. My lawyer says it will help my case, since Javier isn’t married.

    Café Russe

    Brooke

    Look at the time. I have got to go. I have an early meeting in the morning.

    Donna
    Okay sis, thanks so much for eating with me.

    Brooke
    I had a great time. We need to do this more often.

    They hug goodbye. Donna gets out her cell phone

    Hello you have reached the voicemail of Jackie Marone leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

    Donna:
    Jackie, its Donna. I know you are going through a lot right now, but I have some info that might make you feel a little better. It looks like we didn’t have to go through with our plan after all. Fate took care of everything and it worked like a charm. Brooke and Ridge are over. And now that Nick and Taylor have hit a rough patch it is a clear shot for Brooke and Nick to reunite. Call me back when you can.

    Thorne walks up behind Donna.

    Thorne
    Donna, what was that about?

    James Warwicks office

    Brooke:
    Thank you James so much for seeing me on such short notice.

    James:
    No problem at all. Anything for a friend.

    Brooke:
    Well thank you again.

    James:
    Sure, would you like to go ahead and get started?

    Brooke:
    I guess.

    James:
    Please take a seat, lie down, whatever makes you more comfortable.

    Brooke:
    I guess I will sit here. No maybe I should lie down. No sitting up is fine.

    James:
    Brooke, please take a breath and relax.

    Brooke:
    I’m sorry. I’m just a little nervous.

    James:
    You have nothing to be nervous about. Now tell me what made you decide to come and talk to me.

    Marone Mansion

    Jackie opens the door.

    Jackie:
    Eric what a pleasant surprise, I was just enjoying a cup of coffee before I head into the office, would you like a cup?

    Eric:
    Jackie, this isn’t a social visit. I want to talk to you about getting back Forrester Creations.

    Jackie:
    Eric, I’m afraid you are talking to the wrong Marone. That is Nicky’s end of the business. I just run the fashion end of the company.

    Eric:
    I know, but I was hoping you could talk to your son and convince him to sell back Creations.

    Jackie:
    Eric I would love to see you back at the company you built, but I don’t see Nicky giving it back anytime soon, and frankly I rather enjoy working there.

    Eric:
    We could work something out, I can guarantee you a job, a great one. I just want my company back.

    Jackie:
    Maybe I can set up a meeting between you and Nick, but I’m not making any promises.

    Eric:
    Thank you. And thanks for the coffee.

    (Eric drops the cup as he and Jackie pick up the pieces Eric cuts his hand and Jackie grabs a napkin to stop the bleeding, Massimo wheels himself into the room, and from his angle it looks like they are holding hands and close enough to kiss, he works himself up into a rage causing him to have another stroke)

    Jackie:
    Eric, hurry call an ambulance, please.

    Taylor’s House
    Nick arrives to talk to Taylor, but discovers that she isn’t there.

    Nick: (to himself)

    That’s funny her car is here, but she isn’t.

    A taxi pulls up and Taylor gets out.

    Nick:

    Taylor, what’s going on?

    Taylor:
    Nick, I wasn’t expecting you to be here.

    Nick:
    I thought we needed to talk, why did in come in a taxi?

    Taylor:
    Oh, that? I am having car trouble.

    Nick:
    Why is it dropping you off here?

    Taylor:
    I umm… I was on my way to the office and forgot some papers so I had to come all the way back here. You said you wanted to talk? (she begins to unlock her door)

    Nick:
    Yeah, I think we need to discuss our relationship.

    Taylor:
    Well now really isn’t the time, I have a patient to get to.

    Nick:
    Taylor lets get real. There is no way that you are seeing a patient dressed like that, and your hair is a mess, it looks like you haven’t slept all night.

    Taylor:
    Well come on Nick, our separation hasn’t been easy on me. I haven’t been sleeping well. Have you?

    Nick:
    Taylor, are you on drugs?

    Taylor:
    What? No. Of course not.

    Nick:
    Drinking?

    Taylor:
    Nick, it really isn’t any of your concern.

    Nick:
    I think it is. I am your fiancé after all.

    Taylor:
    Not for long you aren’t.

    Nick:
    What are you saying?

    Taylor:
    Oh, come on Nick, you wanted to be real? Well how about this: We all know it is only a matter of time before you go running back to Brooke. It doesn’t matter if the baby had survived or even if we were in a great place in our relationship. That woman has a hold on you that no other woman can break. I was stupid to think I could. How about that, was that real enough for you?

    Nick:
    Where is this coming from, who are you? I don’t even know you anymore.

    Taylor:
    I am the same person I always was.

    Nick:
    until you can get a hold of yourself, I think we should remain separated.

    Taylor:
    Let’s just end it Nick, okay. Let’s just put this relationship if you can even call it that out of its misery.

    Nick:
    I can’t leave you like this; you are in no shape to be alone.

    Taylor:
    Will you stop being so condescending? Brooke may buy into that, but not me. Please leave.

    Nick:
    Fine I will, I can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.

    Taylor:
    You want to help somebody, don’t you have a missing child to be looking for.

    Nick:
    I told you that in confidence, how you could be so cruel.

    (Taylor slams the door in his face and hits the bottle again.)

    Nick’s cell phone rings

    Nick:
    Nick Marone.

    Jackie:
    Nicky, it’s your mother.

    Nick:
    Mother, I don’t want to talk to you. Not now.

    Jackie:
    Nicky, I am at the hospital its your father..

    Nick:
    I will be right there.

    Ambers Apartment
    Amber and Thomas are in bed together.

    Amber:
    So how did the meeting go?

    Thomas:
    Meeting?

    Amber:
    Wasn’t there another meeting about the reality show?

    Thomas:
    Yeah it wasn’t much to it, just brainstorming ideas.

    Amber:
    You definitely are braver than I am.

    Thomas:
    Why?

    Amber:
    Well, me and you are in the same ballpark in the fashion business.

    Thomas:
    I don’t know. I haven’t had my own line yet. You definitely are more experienced than me.

    Amber:
    Well whatever, anyways are you sure you can handle critiquing the contestants. I mean I would feel bad with my experience level critiquing someone else in front of millions of people.

    Thomas:
    I know. I have been thinking about that too. But my dad keeps reassuring me that everything is going to be fine.

    Amber:
    Thomas, if you are second guessing yourself and having doubts and don’t think you can go through with it; you need to notify everyone soon. Auditions are coming up soon.

    Thomas:
    I know. I need to think about it a little more. My dad is really looking forward to this.

    Amber:
    But at the expense of your reputation? Thomas now is not the time in your career to get negative buzz, believe me.

    Thomas:
    I have a little time, I need to think long and hard about this.

    Amber:
    Better not take too long. (she kisses him on the cheek and gets out of bed)

    Thomas:
    Where are you going?

    Amber:
    I have the afternoon shift at work.

    ( She goes to bathroom and gets out phone)

    Rick:
    Hello.

    Amber:
    Hey it’s me your favorite ex-wife.

    Rick:
    You are only my favorite if you go through with our arrangement.

    Amber:
    The seed has been planted and I am pretty sure it is going to grow in your direction.

    Rick:
    Good work.

    Amber:
    Our deal still stands?

    Rick:
    Yeah, you get Thomas to drop out of the show and I get you a job here at Originals.

    Amber:
    Good, because I really do like Thomas and I hate doing this to him.

    Rick:
    What to you like more Thomas or the fame of being a Forrester designer… that’s what I thought. ( hangs up phone)

    The Hospital

    Jackie:
    Bridget please can you give me an update on Massimo.

    Bridget:
    Jackie, the best doctors are working on him now, all I can tell you is that he is stable at the moment. Do you have any idea what could have triggered this stroke? Did you tell him..

    Jackie:
    Absolutely not! Bridget you promised…

    Bridget:
    Don’t worry Jackie; your secret is safe with me.

    Nick enters

    Jackie:
    Nicky I am so glad…

    Nick:
    Not now mother, Bridget how is my father?

    Bridget:
    He is stable now; I will let you know anything as soon as I do. I have to go now.

    Jackie:
    Please do and Bridget… Thank you.

    She nods.

    As Bridget walks down the hall Dr. Solis call her name

    Dr. Solis:
    Dr. Forrester.

    Bridget:
    Dr. Solis.

    Dr. Solis:
    I see that your protector is over there (points at Nick) so I will make this quick.

    Bridget:
    Nick is a friend that’s all, now go ahead and yell at me for whatever I have done this time…

    Paul Williams enters

    Paul: (to Bridget)
    excuse me doctor this will only take a minute

    Dr. Solis:
    Paul what are you doing here, shouldn’t you be back in Genoa City?

    Paul:
    That’s why I am here. To let you know that I am not going back to Genoa City, not now at least, not without my son.

    Dr. Solis:
    There is no way you are going to take Ricky away from me. He is all I have left of my family my parents are gone and my dear sister is away in a mental institution, who knows if she will ever recover.

    Paul:
    Ricky is my son!

    Dr. Solis:
    My sister is his mother and when you tossed them out you lost all responsibilities to him.

    Paul:
    I didn’t toss him out, I knew he would be better off with your parents.

    Dr. Solis:
    And they knew should something happen to them that I would be his best guardian and that is what I am.

    Paul:
    I am…

    Dr. Solis:
    You are nothing to him. Nothing. You are a man who visits once a year and tries to buy his love with the best toy on the market. That’s not a father. I am his father; I have always been the father figure in his life.

    Paul:
    I have my priorities in line and I want to be in his life. I don’t want to cut you out of his life. You can visit and he can come out here in the summer. I just want my son back.

    Dr. Solis:
    The only way you will get him is if you win in court.

    Paul:
    If that’s the way you want it.

    (he leaves)

    Bridget:
    Wow, do you want to talk about it.

    Dr. Solis:
    What I want is for you to get back to work!

    Brooke enters

    Brooke:
    Honey are you alright?

    Bridget:
    Mom, what are you doing here? I am fine.

    Brooke:
    I had my first session with James and I thought I might catch you on a break, to talk about it.

    Bridget:
    Unfortunately I’m not and won’t have a break for a while.

    Brooke:
    Darn..

    Bridget:
    If you want to talk to somebody how about him. (she points down the hall to Nick sitting in a chair)

    Brooke:
    Nick? What is he doing here?

    Bridget:
    Massimo, he had another stroke.

    Brooke:
    Oh no!

    Bridget:
    Look mom I have to go, like now.

    Brooke:
    Okay sweetie, I will talk to you later.

    She walks to Nick
    Brooke:
    Is this seat taken?

    Nick:
    Brooke, what are you doing here?

    Brooke:
    Never mind that, how are you holding up?

    Nick:
    I am fine. I wish I could say the same about my old man.

    Brooke:
    Hey Massimo is strong, you know that. He is going to pull through and before you know it he will be back running the company.

    Nick:
    That would be great.

    Brooke:
    I know Taylor would love that too. I know what it is like being married to the president of muti million dollar company.

    Nick:
    I don’t think she has to worry about that anymore.

    Brooke:
    What are you talking about?

    Nick:
    Taylor and I are pretty much over.

    Brooke:
    No, Nick. You two are just in a rough patch, these problems will go away.

    Nick:
    They are already gone. Taylor has her own set of problems now and I don’t think I can help her.

    The doctor comes out.

    Nick:
    What is it Doc?

    Jackie:
    Doctor, how is my husband?

    Doctor:
    He is stable

    Nick:
    Stable? He was stable a half hour ago, what is going on with my father.

    Doctor:
    Mr. Marone I am sorry, but I wouldn’t give your father, in his condition more than three months to live. Stable is very good at the moment for a man in his shape.

    Jackie falls to pieces and hugs Nick

    Donnas House-

    Brooke wakes up with a massive hangover and headache. As she rises she looks around and takes a moment for her to realize where she is at.

    Brooke: Ohh… wow. Donna!
    Donna: Hey your up, how do you feel?
    Brooke: Horrible. Could you get me some aspirin?
    Donna: Sure. I’ll be right back. (she leaves)
    Brooke: (to herself) what have you done?
    Donna: Here you go?( she hands her the pills)
    Brooke: Thanks. (She swallows the pills)
    Donna: So what happened last night?
    Brooke: Obviously I got drunk.
    Donna: I know that much, when the taxi dropped you off you said you did something really bad? What were you talking about and by the way you owe me sixty bucks for the cab.
    Brooke: I’ll pay you back, I promise just as soon as I find my purse. (She looks around the bed)
    Donna: Don’t worry about that right now. What did you do other than get drunk that was so bad?
    Brooke: I think I slept with Ashley Abbotts boyfriend.
    Donna: What?
    Brooke: All I know is she walked in on us in his bed and she stormed out.
    Donna: Oh my Gosh, Brooke! (screams)
    Brooke: Donna please my head and I feel bad enough about it as it is, you have to promise not to tell anybody.
    Donna: I promise. Why would you do something like that and what about Ridge?
    Brooke: Ridge and I are over and that is why I was drinking to begin with, well that isn’t exactly why. Nobody would buy me a drink and I got to thinking that I am an old woman who is going to be alone for the rest of her life and it just went down hill from there and one drink turned to three and then there was Paul and he wanted to buy me a drink so I let him and one thing led to another and here we are.
    Donna: I can’t believe this.
    Brooke: You can’t? Try being in my shoes I mean look at what have I done. I am a mother of two small children what if he was a psycho or something, I am much too old to be acting this way, and I am not in my twenties anymore.
    Donna: Brooke we all slip from time to time, it’s alright. Just don’t let it happen again.
    Brooke: Thanks for letting me stay here.
    Donna: Sure anytime.
    Brooke: I think I am going to call Ridge and check on the kids and then take a shower, but first I am calling in sick at the office.



    Ashley’s House

    The doorbell rings and she opens the door.

    Ashley: Paul, what are you doing here?
    Paul: Good morning.
    Ashley: Is it.
    Paul: I brought bagels. (He holds up the bag)
    Ashley: Sorry, I have already eaten, in fact you have caught me at a bad time I need to get to work a little early this morning.
    Paul: At least let me explain.
    Ashley: There is no need to explain.
    Paul: Ashley, I am so sorry.
    Ashley: Paul, there is no need to apologize either.
    Paul: Yes there is. I saw the look on your face, I know I hurt you. Look I was drunk, after I left here last night my lawyer called and well it doesn’t look good right now with my gaining custody of Ricky.
    Ashley: I’m sorry to hear that. We have all done things we regret.
    Paul: I definitely regret last night. I had no clue that Brooke was a co-worker of yours.
    Ashley: She more than a co-worker she is practically one of my bosses.
    Paul: Most of all I am sorry that I hurt you.
    Ashley: I wouldn’t say you hurt me. It was just more of a shock to see you in bed…naked … with my boss. And you have nothing to be sorry about; it isn’t like we are a couple we are not even dating.
    Paul: I’d like to be.
    Ashley: I don’t know Paul. We have tried that before…
    Paul: It was never given a chance to see where it could go.
    Ashley: I don’t know. I have really enjoyed these past few weeks and I would hate to jeopardize our friendship. I think we should just stay as friends.
    Paul: If that’s the way you feel…

    Jack enters drinking a cup of coffee

    Jack: Paul, you are here early.
    Paul: Yeah I came by to explain..
    Jack: No need to explain to me….
    Ashley: Hey guys I have got to go, I will see you later Jack, bye Paul.
    Paul: Goodbye Ashley.
    Jack: Bye Ash.
    Paul: I blew it didn’t I.
    Jack: Oh yeah, big time. She cried her eyes out last night, something I haven’t seen her do since she was in high school. It was so weird seeing my now forty five year old sister acting like she was stood up at the prom.
    Paul: I can’t believe what I did.
    Jack: We all make mistakes and I know my sister pretty well, this was a pretty big birthday for her yesterday and I think she just sees her time ticking away. Right now she is at a standstill in her life and she just wants to move forward and find love again, it’s been so long since she was in a serious relationship. I think if you give her time she will come around. However she will never come around on making good coffee. (He sits his cup down) Do you know a good coffee house around here?
    Paul: Insomnia, it’s the best.
    Jack: I have got to get going I have a meeting to get to.
    Paul: I got to run too, I have a meeting myself, with my lawyer.
    Jack: Good luck and thanks for the coffeehouse recommendation.
    Paul: Sure and thanks for being so understanding and supportive.
    (they leave)

    Insomina Café
    Amber: Mother stop! You are driving me crazy with all these money making schemes!
    Tawny: Okay so I figured you and me claiming to be long lost heirs to a small European country would be a hard sell but how about we disguise ourselves as…..
    Amber: Stop it. Not another word. You kept me up all night coming up with crazy scam ideas and I’m tired of it. Look I’m sorry you have yourself in such a bind, but I am not going to run any scam with you. I am trying to start my life over again.
    Tawny: Then why did you come back to L.A.? Huh?
    Amber: What are you talking about?
    Tawny: Why L.A. if want to make a fresh start. You have already loved and lost here.
    Amber: Because mother. L.A. is where talented people flock. I am a very talented person and I am going to be famous at something. Be it designing or singing or whatever but I will be a star.
    Tawny: And being so close to Forrester’s couldn’t hurt either.
    Amber: I have no intention of getting involved with the Forrester’s ever again.
    Tawny: Then why were you here last night with Ridges son Thomas.
    Amber: We are old friends, that’s all.
    Tawny: Oh Amber you can fool a lot of people, but not your mother.
    Amber: I don’t have time for this. I need to go.
    Tawny: Admit it Amber. I am right. You are trying to get into that Forrester money by going after sweet, little naive Thomas.
    Amber: Mother, shut up.
    Tawny: What? I didn’t say it was a bad plan, quite the opposite in fact. I think it is a very good plan.
    Amber: Mother you are so far off base you are in Hawaii.
    Tawny: You can fool a lot of people, but not me. Just remember when you have Thomas under your spell to share some of that dough with me.
    Amber: If you want dough so bad, then you should be like me and try to get yourself a job, which in fact thanks to you I am going to be late for my interview.
    Tawny: I thought you already had a job?
    Amber: Well as glamorous as waiting tables is, I’d much rather have a desk job. I have to go, here you want some cash? fine here is ten bucks get yourself a coffee on me. (She leaves)

    As Tawny walks to the bar, she tells herself.

    Tawny: Come on Tawny you have to think of something and fast.
    Jack: I can’t believe it! It’s you!
    Tawny: Why yes, yes it is. (Playing by ear) And it is you……
    C.J.: Jack? Jack Abbott, Double mocha iced latte?
    Jack: That is me.
    Tawny: (to herself) Jack Abbott I have heard that name before, where have I heard that before, oh yeah the lifestyle section. MONEY!!! (To Jack) Jack. Gosh Jack how long has it been?
    Jack: It has got to be over twenty years.
    Tawny: That long, wow time flys.
    Jack: It sure does, so Patty what have you been up to.
    Tawny: Patty? Oh right me.. um not much I ah.. um..
    Jack: Are you in town visiting Paul?
    Tawny: Paul God no, I haven’t seen that creep in years…
    Jack: I’m sorry I didn’t know you and your brother had had a falling out.
    Tawny: Oh you said Paul, see I thought you said Saul, he’s an old boyfriend of mine I was thinking how in the world does Jack Abbott now my ex boyfriend Saul, but you said Paul yes that is why I am in town, visiting my good old brother Paul. He is my older brother isn’t he?
    Jack: Yeah he is… and I see you haven’t lost your energetic personality. You know its funny I just saw Paul this morning and he didn’t mention you were in town.
    Tawny: Well…. That’s because he doesn’t know… it’s a big surprise.
    Jack: He could really use it right now.
    Tawny: Boy do I know it. (To herself) What the hell is he talking about?
    Jack: I have go to get going I have an important meeting, but I’m going to be in town a few days, do you want to have dinner tonight?
    Tawny: Tonight…ummm..
    Jack: I understand if you have plans…
    Tawny: No not at all, I would love to have dinner with you.
    Jack: Great where shall I pick you up at?
    Tawny: How about we meet each other?
    Jack: Sounds wonderful, I would love to eat at Café Russe before I leave town.
    Tawny: Café Russe it is.
    Jack: See you at eight.
    Tawny: See you then.

    CHICAGO-
    Cemetery
    Stephanie (to Angela’s headstone): Hi baby. It’s me mommy. I know that I haven’t been around in a while to visit and I apologize, but things have been so busy in L.A. and I know that’s no excuse, but I promised myself that I would not miss this visit, not today. Yesterday was your birthday and today… well today forty five years ago you were taken from me, from me and your father. He wishes he could be here, but as usual he is working himself silly. But you already know all this, ever since that day that you were taken from me and the rest of the family I have felt your presence like you were always there with me always there looking over me like my guardian angel, that’s why I named you Angela, you know? I love you and you are very special to me and I can’t wait to see you again. I have to go now, but I promise I will visit more often, goodbye. (she kisses her fingers and places them on Angela’s name engraved in the headstone)

    Taylor’s House

    Taylor and James are wrapping up an informal session.

    Taylor: Thank you James so much. I feel so much better.
    James: I’m glad I could help. What are friends for?
    Taylor: What are your plans for the rest of the evening?
    James: I am exhausted after my flight. I think I’m going to go back to my hotel room and retire for the evening.
    Taylor: You know that you are welcome to stay here.
    James: I couldn’t impose. Believe me you don’t want me here, I could sleep in the kitchen and you could hear me snore from your bedroom (she laughs) and I wouldn’t want to disturb Thomas or Phoebe.
    Taylor: Please those kids come in at all hours of the night and could sleep through an earthquake.
    James: But seriously I really would be more comfortable in the hotel. Perhaps we could have brunch.
    Taylor: Suit yourself and brunch would be wonderful.
    James: I will call you in morning.
    Taylor: Talk to you then. (she walks him to the door.)

    Ridge and Brooke’s house

    Ridge: So this is it? Our marriage is over; you don’t even want to fight to save it?
    Brooke: Ridge, how could our marriage even be saved after all the damage that has been done?
    Ridge: I just think that our marriage deserves a fighting chance.
    Brooke: Ridge there has been enough fighting in our marriage as it is. Too much if you ask me, that’s why it’s in the state it is, because all we ever do is fight.
    Ridge: So you’re ready to pull the plug?
    Brooke: Ridge, we have tried everything I don’t see any hope for us. It seems like the same endless vicious cycle.
    Ridge: You better be sure about what you are doing Logan, because I promise you the cycle will be broken this time, for good.
    Brooke: What?
    Ridge: If you leave me, it will be for the last time, I promise you we will never get back together.
    Brooke: Don’t threaten me or be patronizing.
    Ridge: I’m being honest. I will move on with my life once and for all.
    Brooke: It sounds like you want this divorce just as much as I do.
    Ridge: Maybe I do. Maybe I was just too naive to admit it.
    Brooke: Fine, then it’s settled.
    Ridge: I’ll have the family lawyer draw up the papers; I promise this won’t be a nasty divorce.
    Brooke: That thought never crossed my mind, it just didn’t work out for us and I’m glad we have both seen it.
    Ridge: Yeah. I’m glad the kids are away at camp, there’s no need in them getting in the middle of this.

    She goes to kiss him on the cheek goodbye, but he turns away. As she walks out of the room she says:

    Brooke: I will stay with Bridget tonight.

    Ashley’s House

    Paul and Ashley are celebrating her birthday by eating ice cream out of the carton.

    Paul: So, I have a little confession to make.
    Ashley: What? What is it?
    Paul: I got you a little something for your birthday.
    Ashley: Paul! I told you not to get me anything.
    Paul: Well, it’s not exactly from me entirely…
    Ashley: hmmm… Okay now you have my curiosity raised...
    Paul: Curiosity killed the cat.
    Ashley: Okay so where is it? What is it?

    The doorbell rings

    Paul looks at his watch.

    Paul: That should be it now. Why don’t you go and answer it?
    Ashley: Okay… now I am a little scared.
    Paul: Don’t be.

    She opens the door

    Ashley: Jack! (she hugs him) I have missed you so much!
    Jack: Hey sis, I have missed you too.
    Paul: Well do you like it?
    Ashley: Yes! I love it! It’s the best gift I have ever gotten. Thank you so much Paul. (She kisses him on the cheek)

    Insomnia Café

    Amber: So, tell me what’s been up with you?
    Thomas: Not much really. For the past couple of years I have been in design school in Paris.
    Amber: Cool, very cool and how was that?
    Thomas: It was really great. I feel like I really learned a lot and worked under some really great and talented people.
    Amber: So you’re back in L.A. for good now?
    Thomas: I don’t know about for good, but defiantly for the time being. What about you?
    Amber: I guess I could say the same. So are you working back at Forrester?
    Thomas: Really just interning. My dad actually called me and told me that a reality show is going to be based on the Forrester brand.
    Amber: Really?
    Thomas: Yeah and they want me to be a judge.
    Amber: Wow.
    Thomas: Yeah, it’s pretty intimidating, but also pretty cool.
    Amber: I bet. So tell me more about this reality show.
    Thomas: It’s from the producers of Extreme Catwalk.
    Amber: Ohhh….
    Thomas: You know the show?
    Amber: Unfortunately.
    Thomas: You’re not a fan.
    Amber: Not exactly.
    Thomas: Anyways its going to be me, my dad and grandpa as the judges of the contestants.
    Amber: What do they win?
    Thomas: A paid internship at Forrester.
    Amber: I can’t believe your family is actually going for this, its must be hard times at the fashion house.
    Thomas: It’s not that bad.
    Amber: So who is going to be the host?
    Thomas: I don’t think they know yet.
    Amber: do you think that… um… I don’t know.. you could maybe put in a good word for me……I mean I know it would be a long…

    A woman comes up behind Amber.

    Woman: Oh Amber thank God I have found you. I have been looking all over for you.

    Amber doesn’t turn around

    Amber: Mother?
    Tawny: It’s me! And I need your help.

    Brooke is on her way to Bridget’s house when she notices a bar and decides to pull in.

    Joes Boat Bar and Pub

    Brooke walks in and sits at the bar, she waits a couple of minutes and cant help but notice that nobody has offered to buy her a drink.

    Brooke: Bartender, I’ll have a Cosmo. ( she turns and notices several single attractive men seemingly ignoring her) and keep ‘em coming.

    She begins to think about her and Ridge at better times and keeps drinking.

    Ashley's House

    Paul: Well, Jack it’s been great seeing you again, but I think I am going to go home and let you two spend some time together.
    Jack: You don’t have to rush off.
    Ashley: Yes Paul, do stay.
    Paul: I really cant I’m actually expecting an important phone call from my lawyer.
    Jack: Lawyer?
    Ashley: Paul is trying to get custody of his son, Ricky.
    Jack: Good luck on that Paul.
    Paul: thanks man, I’m sure I’m going to need it. The courts frown upon absentee fathers.
    Jack: If anybody can sympathize with you on that, it’s me.
    Paul: Thanks Jack, really I gotta get going. (He kisses Ashley on the cheek bye) Goodbye.
    Ashley: Goodbye. Do you want me to walk you to the door?
    Paul: Nah, I know where it is.
    (She smiles)
    (He leaves)
    Jack: So what’s this?
    Ashley: What?
    Jack: don’t what me, you know what. This thing between you and Paul.
    Ashley: I don’t know what you are talking about.
    Jack: Come on Ash, I know you and you know me, you can tell me.
    Ashley: I don’t know what it is. We are taking things slow, for now we are just friends.
    Jack: You two dated back in Genoa City maybe its time to explore those feeling further.

    Pauls Car

    His phone rings

    Paul: Susan, the best lawyer in the world, please tell me you have good news.
    Susan: Sorry Paul, even if I am the best lawyer in the world, things are not looking good, there will definitely have to be a hearing. And even then I can’t make any promises; the cards are stacked against you, big time.

    He hangs up, upset he notices as bar off the road and decides to pull in

    He walks in and goes strait to the bar

    Paul: Bartender, I’ll take a beer. Whatever is on tap, oh and keep ‘em coming.

    He turns and notices a beautiful blonde

    Paul: Don’t I know you from somewhere?
    Brooke: Gee, there’s one I’ve never heard before.
    Paul: No seriously you look very familiar.
    Brooke: (hiding her identity) I don’t think so. I must have one of those faces.
    Paul: I guess so and a pretty one at that.
    Brooke: Thank you.

    Ashley’s house

    Ashley: Jacky this really has been the best present I could have asked for, well seeing Abby would have been nice too.
    Jack: How is Abby by the way?
    Ashley: Very well, she is loving the Academy and she’s counting down the days to go visit Victor and Brad in Genoa city for her break.
    Jack: That’s great, I want to see her too.
    Ashley: You will. She called today to wish me happy birthday and asked about you.
    Jack: She’s a great kid. Listen Ash, I have an important phone call to make with some contacts out here do you think I could use your home office?
    Ashley: Sure its all yours, its right through there. (She points down the hall)
    Jack: Thanks!
    Ashley: Jack, how long do you think you are going to be?
    Jack: It could be a while.
    Ashley: Would you mind if I ran an errand?
    Jack: At this time of night?
    Ashley: Well it’s important.
    Jack: If you want to see Paul, just say so.
    Ashley: It’s not Paul…. Okay maybe it is. You really got me thinking with what you said earlier and I’m not getting any younger obviously. Life is too short not to tell somebody how you feel about them.
    Jack: Then GO!
    Ashley: Do you mind?
    Jack: GO!
    Ashley: I won’t be that long. I promise.
    Jack: (laughs) Take your time.

    Joes Boat- Bar and Pub

    Brooke and Paul are pretty wasted.

    Brooke: What do you say we get out of here?
    Paul: I say let’s go.
    Brooke: Where do we go?
    Paul: I don’t know it was your idea.
    Brooke: well I am currently homeless so let’s go to your place.
    Paul: Let’s get outta here.

    As they stumble out the door….. Taylor walks in a few moments later in a tight skirt, heels, full make up and hair and looking a little tipsy herself.

    Taylor walks into the group of men and asks:

    Taylor: Which one of you hot, sexy guys want to buy me a drink?

    Paul’s House

    Paul and Brooke are in bed having sex.

    Ashley walks up to his door and notices it is not closed all the way.

    Ashley: Paul? Paul are you here? Your door was open.

    Ashley: Brooke? Paul?
    Brooke: Ashley! (giggles) What are you doing here?

    Okay I havent worked on this blog in a long time. In fact this is only the third episode in over six months! I thought I had plenty of time to devote to a blog, but then life stepped in and I was forced to put it up. I recently found my outline for this season and had time to write a few episodes. I thought I would post the first new one and see if it gets any traction, if it does I will continue to post new episodes, but if not no harm no foul. I decided to re-name the blog in this re-launch and dropped the campy name of "The Rich and The Famous" to a less campy and closer to home " The Bold Ones". I would love to have any feedback positive or otherwise.


    In show news:

    The character of Thomas Forrester has returned to the show and taking over the role is former GH star Scott Clifton(ex-Dillion).

    Look for other familiar faces to pop up soon.

    Forrester Boardroom

    Ridge: Logan, how are you?
    Brooke: Fine.
    Ridge: Listen I have been thinking…
    Brooke: No you listen, I have been doing a lot of thinking myself and I think we should get a divorce.
    Ridge: A divorce? Logan you can’t be serious. This separation has been killing me.
    Brooke: Ridge, I don’t know you anymore, it’s like you have turned into a completely different person since Rick came home.
    Ridge: I can change. I will change.
    Brooke: It’s too late for that.
    Ridge: Come on Brooke, don’t give up so easily. We can go to counseling.
    Eric: Ridge, Brooke the meeting is about to begin.
    Brooke: We will talk about this later.

    She moves to sit by Rick, leaving Ridge at the other end of the table.

    Eric: Everybody thank you for attending. I for once did not call this meeting, my son Rick did, so I will let him have the floor.

    Ridge rolls his eyes and smirks.

    Rick: Thanks dad. I have called this meeting because as we all know our sales are down, we are not as hot as we used to be.
    Eric: Go on son.
    Rick: So what is hot right now? Anybody?
    Felicia: lots of things Rick.
    Rick: Alright I will tell you. Reality TV.
    Stephanie: Reality TV?
    Ridge: Is this the year 2000? Rick reality tv was “hot” 10 years ago.
    Rick: well its still “hot” today Ridge.
    Brooke: Can we get back on topic please.
    Thorne: Rick lets move this along.
    Rick: Fine this is fashion critic Sarah Parkes and Jon Stanton, a very prominent executive producer.
    Eric: Nice to meet you two, now son what are they doing here?
    Rick: You asked that at the perfect time dad. Four words Extreme. Catwalk. Forrester. Edition.

    Forrester Break room
    Ashley is sipping on a bottle of water as her cell rings.

    Ashley: Hello
    Paul: Hello.
    Ashley. Paul what a pleasant surprise this is.
    Paul: Glad you think so. What’s up?
    Ashley: Not much, just working away.
    Paul: Oh, do I have you at a bad time?
    Ashley: No I am actually on a break.
    Paul: Great I caught you at a good time. I was wondering what your plans were for the evening.
    Ashley: I figured after work I would pick up some take out and lounge around the house eating ice cream in my old pair of sweats. Not a very exciting way to celebrate my birthday but..
    Paul: (pretending not to know) It’s your birthday? I had no clue.
    Ashley: Yeah, at my age it’s just another day.
    Paul: Don’t say that. You are only as old as you feel.
    Ashley: Well, I feel… you don’t want to know.
    Paul: How about you pick up take out and ice cream for two and I come and join you?
    Ashley: (laughs) I’d like that a lot.
    Paul: See you around seven?
    Ashley: Sounds great, see you then. (she hangs up)

    Paul picks up his phone and calls another number

    Paul: Hey, its Paul, she doesn’t have a clue. You’re about to board now? Great I will meet you at the airport later today.

    Forrester Boardroom

    Stephanie: Extreme Catwalk: Forrester Edition?
    Rick: That’s right Stephanie. A reality show set in the world of Forrester.
    Eric: How would this reality show work exactly?
    Jon: Basically there would be fourteen contestants who design gowns, clothing and other accessories in weekly competitions with one contestant being eliminated each week. The winner would earn a paid internship here at Forrester Originals.
    Eric: I don’t know about this.
    Thorne: Neither do I dad.
    Rick: Come on dad, Thorne, it would be good for the company. It would put us back in the headlines.
    Felicia: It would. I think this is a very good marketing technique, and could be very cool, especially with the youth demographic.
    Brooke: I couldn’t agree with you more Felicia. This could defiantly put Forrester back on top.
    Stephanie: Or it could flop miserably and make the company look desperate.
    Rick: But we are desperate Stephanie. You see the numbers.
    Ridge: Mother is right. This screams desperation, there is bound to be another way.
    Felicia: What about the judges?
    Stephanie: Judges?
    Felicia: Yeah, every reality show has a panel of judges, who decide who stays and goes each week. So who would the judges be? Are there any big names that could bring in an audience?
    Jon: I was just about to get to that. What would Extreme Catwalk: Forrester Edition be without Forrester’s?
    Thorne: You can’t have all of us be a judge.
    Jon: No, that would be overwhelming. But two of you wouldn’t be.
    Felicia: So which two?
    Jon: What we have devised is to have Eric be the head judge along with Rick and a celebrity guest.
    Ridge: (Laughing) This is too much.
    Brooke: What?
    Ridge: Dad is an excellent choice but Rick? He hasn’t designed anything in a long time; he has been handling the business aspect of the company for the past few years.
    Brooke: I suppose you want to be a judge, a few minutes ago you were apposed to the idea.
    Rick: Forget him mom, his ego is bruised because he wasn’t asked to be the star of the show.
    Stephanie: That’s enough. I for one have been against this, this is not what I want to see this company become. Eric and I worked so hard to get it to the top, but if this is what it takes to regain that then I am for it.
    Rick: So is that the first I?
    Stephanie: Yes.
    Rick: Anybody appose? Great then Extreme Catwalk: Forrester Edition is a go.
    Brooke: Congratulations honey.
    Sarah: Wait a minute here… Whose are these? (She holds up sketches)
    Eric: Oh, that. That is my grandson Thomas’s sketches I was taking a second look at before the meeting. I am sorry they aren’t that good. He’s just now learning and getting a feel for designing.
    Sarah: Actually Mr. Forrester with all do respect, I have to disagree with you. I think these are quite good. Very unique, don’t you think Jon?
    Jon: Oh yes, very hip, very now. Wait a minute I have an idea.
    Rick: What’s that Jon?
    Jon: Three generations of Forrester’s as the judges.
    Rick: Excuse me?
    Jon: Yeah Eric as head judge along with his son Ridge and then third generation Thomas. It would be three different views on fashion. It could make for great T.V.
    Ridge: I like that idea. I like it a lot. (he smirks a smile to Rick)
    Jon: Don’t worry Rick; you can still be involved in the project, maybe as a host or something.

    The Hospital- Thomas and Phoebe are visiting Taylor.

    Thomas: How are you feeling mom?
    Taylor: I’m feeling a lot better honey. I think I just needed to rest. I was exhausted.
    Phoebe: I’m glad you’re feeling better mom.
    Taylor: Me too. It would have been nice to have a baby in the house again. You two and Steffi are all grown up now.
    Phoebe: You and Nick could always try again.
    Taylor: I don’t know honey. I don’t know if Nick and I even have a future.
    Thomas: You really feel that way mom?
    Taylor: I don’t know. All I do know is that we have a lot to talk about when the time is right.
    (There is a knock on the door)
    Taylor: Come in.

    James pokes his head in the door.

    Taylor: James!
    James: Hello Taylor, it’s been a while.
    Thomas: Why don’t Phoeb’s and I let you two catch up.
    Phoebe: Good idea. (They leave the room)

    In the hall

    Thomas: It’s great to see mom smiling again.
    Phoebe: Yeah it is… (Her phone rings) hold on a sec. Hello
    Rick: Hey it’s me. I am kind of upset and need to talk to somebody, do you think you could come by my place.
    Phoebe: Sure, I’ll be right there.
    Thomas: Who was that? (His phone rings) Now you hang on a sec. hello
    Amber: Hey Thom, it’s been a while….

    The Bold Ones
    Episode 7

    In the chapel at the hospital Nick is sitting in silence as one tear streams down his face. All of the sudden he bursts out:

    Nick: Why!! Why does this happen to me! This always happens. All I have ever wanted is a child, a child of my own!

    A hand is placed on his shoulder; he turns around to see who it is.

    Nick: Hey mom.

    She hugs him.

    Café Russe

    Thorne: Amber, what are you doing back in Los Angeles?
    Felicia: And working here?
    Amber: Well, things didn’t work out exactly how I planned in Genoa City… I mean things were great there for a while.
    Donna: I read you married Jill Abbot’s long lost son?
    Amber: Briefly.
    Felicia: Old habits die hard, huh Amber?
    Amber: Look guys I would love to catch up, but if I don’t take your order and get it right, I’ll be fired. All there is to say is that I am here in L.A. starting over, getting a fresh start.
    Storm: Well there isn’t other place to do so. (He looks at Felicia)

    The Hospital

    Javier: Dr. Forrester, have you finished my paper work yet?
    Bridget: No Dr. Solis I haven’t. In fact I have yet to start it.
    Javier: You better get started then, I would hate to make the next few months of your life a living hell.
    Bridget: I don’t intend to start it and if you threaten me again I will not hesitate to go to board. Look I get it, you hate me. You blame me for everything that goes wrong in your world. Hell you probably blame me for global warming. I cannot help who I am, just like you can’t help who you are. Unfortunately that is not a choice we get in life, but the choice we do get is how to act and treat others. I choose to be respectful and considerate, and treat others as I would like to be treated. That has nothing to do with my lifestyle that is a personal belief. I am sorry you hate me because of my upbringing, but as far as I am concerned you can take your paperwork and shove it. (she walks off)

    Hospital Chapel

    Nick: I’m fine mom. I’m going to be fine.
    Jackie: I hate seeing you like this.
    Nick: I just don’t get it.
    Jackie: What honey?
    Nick: Why do my children keep getting taken away from me? First Nicole, then Hope and R.J., and now this baby with Taylor.
    Jackie: Nicky, there is no rhyme or reason. Only God knows. I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason.
    Nick: I must have been an axe murderer in a past life then.
    Jackie: Oh honey.
    Nick: Mother, I have always deep down wanted a child, I know for most of my adult life I was a “playboy”, but there was always a part of me that wanted to be called dad, by a little boy…or girl. I guess it might be because I never got to do that.
    Jackie: I’m so sorry about keeping you away from Massimo, but at the time it was the only…
    Nick: Don’t worry about it mom, you can’t undo the past, only look forward to the future. A future that I don’t think I will ever have. Forrester may be a dressmaker, but even he gets to experience fatherhood. I don’t know maybe I’m just not cut out to be a father.
    Jackie: Nicky, don’t say that.
    Nick: Maybe its true mother. You said it yourself, everything happens for a reason. I don’t know maybe this is the universe telling me that I am not father material (his voice cracks) that I’m not supposed to be one.
    Jackie: (Distraught) I can’t bare this anymore, Nicky there is something I must tell you.
    Nick: What is it mother?
    Jackie: I don’t know how to say this, I don’t know if I can.
    Nick: Just spit it out.
    Jackie: I feel just awful.
    Nick: You can’t feel worse than I do right now.
    Jackie: But I can.
    Nick: Mom, tell me, you wouldn’t be doing this right now if it wasn’t absolutely important, I love you, you can tell me anything.
    Jackie: I’m getting light headed.
    Nick: Mom, sit down (she sits on a pew) now tell me, what is so important?
    Jackie: Darling, you do have a child. (she begins to cry, Nick has a look of confusion on his face)
    Café Russe

    Amber: So how was everybody’s meal?
    Storm: Delicious.
    Donna: Wonderful.
    Felicia: Mine was a little bland.
    Thorne: Don’t worry Amber; you will still get a good tip.
    Amber: Great then no dessert? Here is your check. Have a good night!

    she walks towards the kitchen under her breath she says:

    Amber: jerks.
    Storm: you guys could have eased up on her a bit.
    Donna: Really she wasn’t that bad.
    Felicia: Well she was really bad to my family.
    Storm: Sis, is right, are you guys forgetting all the things she did to our family to Rick and Bridget?
    Donna:Yeah, but people can change; I like to think I have.
    Felicia: yeah, well people like Amber don’t change.

    In the kitchen, Amber is dialing a number she puts the phone to her ear:

    Amber: Rick, Hi, it’s me.

    Church Chapel- Bridget walks by and overhears Nick and Jackie talking.

    Nick: What are you talking about mother? I have a child?
    Jackie: It’s true.
    Nick: I’m confused.
    Jackie: Rozanna. She was pregnant all those years ago.
    Nick: Rozanna? She skipped town one day and I never heard from her again.
    Jackie: Nicky, Rozanna left because I forced her to leave.
    Nick: What? Why? She was my first love we were going to spend that summer after high school together.
    Jackie: I remember, and I was so happy for you two, it’s just…
    Nick: Just what mother?
    Jackie: She came to me after your graduation party. You remember how I was always a mother figure to her, since she didn’t have one.
    Nick: She loved you; you were the only female roll model in her life.
    Jackie: Nicky, she told me she was pregnant with your child. I was in shock, but I knew what had to be done.
    Nick: Had to be done?
    Jackie: I had her sent away, and sent to a wonderful birthing facility. Massimo agreed to pay the bills. Nicky you must understand that it was for your own good.
    Nick: My own good? Mother how could you?
    Jackie: Nicky, you were barely out of high school, still a teenager, you couldn’t support Rozanna and baby, you had your whole life in front of you.
    Nick: And look at what kind of life that has been, one misfortune after another.
    Jackie: Nicky….
    Nick: How could you and Pop keep this from me all of this time?
    Jackie: To avoid what is happening right this instant.
    Nick: So what facility did you send her to? They must have some kind of record, I at least need to know my child’s name, maybe I can hire a P.I. to find her and Rozanna.
    Jackie: Since its already gone this far, Nicky I am afraid there is more, and I’m sure you aren’t going to like it.
    Nick: Tell me.
    Jackie: A little over a year ago, Rozanna found me.
    Nick: What?
    Jackie: She found me and wanted to meet up with you.
    Nick: Why didn’t she? Surely she knew how to get in touch with me at Marone.
    Jackie: She did, but I put a stop to it.
    Nick: Of course you did. And how exactly did you do that?
    Jackie: Nicky, does that really matter.
    Nick: I want to know mother. Tell me now or you are out of my life forever.
    Jackie: I paid her off… again.
    Nick: She must be hard up for cash then.
    Jackie: You have to understand that a year ago you were happy and with Brooke and seeing Rozanna again and your daughter would have surely ended yours and Brookes relationship.
    Nick: Well that happened anyway, didn’t it mother? (He walks toward the door)
    Jackie: Where are you going?
    Nick: To find Rozanna.
    Jackie: Nicky there’s still more.

    He turns around

    Nick: (takes a deep breath) go on.
    Jackie: When she came, she was very ill. She had been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.
    Nick: That’s why she accepted the money.
    Jackie: Yes, to pay for her medical bills.
    Nick: Who are you? Who are you to run my life? To ruin my life! You have made mistake after mistake with me.
    Jackie: Nicky, I am so sorry, I’ll be the first to admit that I have made mistakes, but what I did was out of love. (crying)
    Nick: You don’t love me.
    Jackie: I do.
    Nick: If you did, you wouldn’t have done this to me! Look at you, look at what you have become, at who you are! I don’t even know you anymore. I don’t know my own mother! You are nothing but a liar, and that is something I have never been to you…. I take that back I did lie to you earlier when I asked you to tell me everything or you would be out of my life forever.
    Jackie: What are you saying?
    Nick: You’re of my life anyway.
    Jackie: Nicky please!!.. Don’t.
    Nick: Like my dead child today, you are also dead to me.

    He walks out of the chapel as Jackie collapse to the floor. Bridget runs in to revive her.

    Bridget: Jackie, come on, wake up!
    Jackie: (delirious) Bridget??
    Bridget: Its okay Jackie, your going to be fine, you just fainted.
    Jackie:( She looks around and realizes what has happened and trying to make something up) I have barely eaten anything today, I was here lighting a candle for the baby and I must have just passed out cold.
    Bridget: Jackie, its okay, I overheard.
    Jackie: What? Bridget please you mustn’t tell anyone.
    Bridget: Its okay your secret is safe with me.

    Episode 6

    The Hospital- Taylors Room

    Taylor: How could you Stephanie? How dare you try to run my life? And calling James? Why?
    Stephanie: Because he is the only one I believe that can truly get through to you.
    Taylor: Stephanie, you have four children of your own with plenty of problems. Why don’t you go along and control their lives and leave mine alone.
    Stephanie: Taylor, I think of you as one of my children.
    Taylor: That ended when Ridge chose Brooke over me.
    Stephanie: No it didn’t.
    Taylor: Well it should have.
    Stephanie: You are the mother to my grandchildren, you will always be a part of my life because of that, and just because Ridge chose Brooke, however inept that was doesn’t mean I stopped caring for you. I consider you one of my closest friends and I always will, and that is why I called James.
    Taylor: Stephanie, thank you for your concern, maybe you are right maybe I do need to talk to someone, but I am exhausted right now, I think I need to take a nap.
    Stephanie: Of course. ( She leaves)

    As Stephanie walks out of the room she notices Eric and Jackie hugging each other.

    Jackie: Oh Eric, I am so worried about Nicky.
    Eric: Don’t be, he’s a strong man. Let him grieve.
    Stephanie: Excuse me, I hate to interrupt this... embrace, but don’t you have a sick husband you should be at home attending to?
    Jackie: Massimo is fine and the caretaker is with him. My son just lost his child, my grandchild, what exactly are you doing here, Stephanie?

    Down the hall Rick and Pheobe are by the vending machine.

    Phoebe: Rick, I’m worried about my mom.
    Rick: Don’t be. She will be just fine, give her a few days to grieve and recover.
    Phoebe: She is acting so different. I have never seen her like this before. She’s so... distant.
    Rick: She just lost a baby, which can be tough. I know what it feels like to have a baby taken away from you.
    Phoebe: Thants right, I forgot about you and Amber having the miscarriages.
    Rick: Plus having Little Eric taken away.
    Phoebe: I hate seeing my mom like this.

    Rick pulls her in for a hug and they kiss.

    The hospital waiting room

    Ridge: Logan, do you want something to drink?
    Brooke: No thank you honey.
    Ridge: Well, I do.
    Brooke: There’s a soda machine just down the hall.

    As he walks down the hall he notices Rick and Phoebe kissing. He charges down the hall towards them.

    Ridge: You bastard, you get your hands off my daughter!
    Phoebe: Dad!
    Rick: Or what Ridge? What are you going to do?
    Ridge: I will kill your punk ass!
    Rick: Go ahead and try it Ridge, you got away with murder once, you might not be so lucky the next time.

    Ridge punches Rick to floor.

    Brooke: Ridge! How could you!
    Ridge: (to Rick) Your lucky your in a hospital you…
    Brooke: Ridge that’s it. We’re done, for good this time.
    Ridge: Logan…
    Brooke: Don’t, just don’t.
    Ridge: I’m going to leave and take a breather and we will talk about this at the house.
    Brooke: That’s a good idea.
    Ridge: I will see you at the house.
    Brooke: No, you will not. It’s a good idea that you go to house and pack your things and be gone by the time I get there.
    Ridge: Come on Logan..
    Brooke: I’m serious Ridge, this is it. I’m going to stay and make sure Rick gets checked out by a doctor.
    Rick: I’m fine mom.
    Phoebe: just go.
    Ridge: Maybe your right Logan, maybe we do need a break.

    Rick, Stephanie, and Jackie couldn’t be happier, as they try to hide thier smiles.

    Café Russe

    Thorne: So, Storm, how is it working in the D.A.’s office?
    Storm: I enjoy working for the county, but D.A. Tartaro, she is a killer.
    Felicia: I don’t find that hard to believe. She almost sent Ridge to prison when he was on trial.
    Storm: I am off the clock right now; I’d rather not talk about my work. Donna how are things going working with Nick and Jackie?
    Donna: I’d rather not talk about it.
    Thorne: (to Donna) Don’t worry about it. Our relationship can survive us working for rival companies.
    Donna: I know. We love each other and that’s all that matters. (they kiss)
    Felicia: I hate to interrupt this little lovefest, but I am starving…
    Storm: Seriously you’re still hungry after watching them kiss?
    Donna: ha ha.
    Thorne: Felicia is right we have been here forever and our waiter hasn’t even taken our drink order.

    The waitress runs up to the table, looking down at her pen and pad.

    Waitress: I’m so sorry for wait, today’s my first day and waiting tables isn’t as easy as you would think.

    She looks up at the table and is shocked to see who her customers are, as is Thorne, Felicia, Storm, and Donna at who their waitress is.

    Thorne: Amber? Is that you?

    The Hospital- Taylors Room

    Taylor is so depressed after loosing the baby she can barely look at Nick or anybody else.

    Nick: How are you feeling?
    Taylor: I’m feeling great, Nick, just fine lets go out for a midnight sail on the Shady Marlin. I just lost my baby how do you think I feel!
    Nick: I think I need some fresh air.
    Taylor: I’m sorry; I know you are just as upset as I am. But go on, I’ll be fine.
    Nick: I’ll send somebody else in, there is a waiting room full of people.
    Taylor: No! Nick I just want to be left alone.
    Nick: I don’t think that’s such a great idea.
    Taylor: Nick please!

    He goes to the door to leave as Bridget is walking in.

    Bridget: Hey, how are things going?
    Nick: Not that great. She wants to be left alone.
    Bridget: No, Nick, no. Doctor Jackson’s orders are she needs to keep her mind off of what happened as much as possible. If she is in here alone all she will do is dwell.
    Nick: I have done all I could do for now. I need a break.
    Bridget: I understand. I can stay for only a second and then I will send somebody else in.
    Nick: (to Taylor) I’m going to go now, I will be back soon. (Taylor looks away)
    Bridget: Taylor, I know this hard, I know what you are going through.
    Taylor: That’s right, I had forgotten about Nicole. How were you able to move on.
    Bridget: It was hard, but you have to, you just have to keep on going or else you will tear up inside and tear up your existing relationships. I learned that the hard way.
    Taylor: Isn’t ironic?
    Bridget: What?
    Taylor: I’m the therapist and you’re the one counseling me.
    Bridget: Even the best need help sometimes.

    (Intercom pages Bridget)

    Bridget: Well I better go, or I will be in trouble again. I will send in somebody else, there are a lot of people who want to see you.
    Taylor: Bridget, I have already expressed my feeling on that.
    Bridget: Well, Dr. Jackson thinks otherwise.

    She leaves the waiting room is full of the Forresters: Stephanie, Eric, Ridge, Brooke, Thomas, Phoebe, Felicia, Thorne, and Donna.

    Stephanie: Bridget how is she?
    Bridget: She coping, but refuses to see anybody.
    Ridge: Didn’t the doctor request that she shouldn’t be alone?
    Bridget: He did, maybe you can get through to her.
    Ridge: I can try. Do you want to come with me Logan?
    Brooke: I don’t think that’s such a good idea. Just let her know that I’m here and she’s in my thoughts and prayers.

    (He nods and enters the room.)

    Ashley Abbotts house

    Ashley is getting comfortable on her couch eating Chinese take-out when her phone rings.

    Ashley: (to herself) Who could that be? Front gate? Hello.
    Voice: Hello! Ashley, its Paul. Paul Williams.
    Ashley: Paul! I’m opening the gate now.

    She opens the door.

    Ashley: Paul! Your back!
    Paul: I’m back!

    She hugs him

    Hospital- Taylor’s room.

    Ridge: Hey Doc.
    Taylor: Ridge, I can’t do this right now.
    Ridge: I’m afraid you’re going to have to. I have always given it to you straight. Things happen, it just wasn’t right. You and Nick will grieve this loss and move on.
    Taylor: Please leave.
    Ridge: I can see I’m not helping.
    Taylor: No you aren’t.
    Ridge: I’m going to go, but I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and Brookes too.
    Taylor: That makes me feel a lot better (sarcastically)

    Ridge leaves Taylor room

    Eric: Well…
    Ridge: No luck dad.
    Thomas: Maybe Phoebes and I can get talk to her.
    Ridge: I think that’s a good idea son.

    (They enter her room)

    Ashleys House

    Ashley: Paul what are you doing back!?
    Paul: Well, I decided that there wasn’t much holding me back in Genoa City. So I decided to start a new beginning and move out to L.A. where I would be closer to Ricky and hopefully form a better relationship with him.
    Ashley: What about your P.I. business?
    Paul: I sold it.
    Ashley: What!
    Paul: Yeah, J.T. Helstrom bought me out.
    Ashley: What are you going to do now?
    Paul: Hopefully open a new office out here.
    Ashley: Well I couldn’t be happier; it’s going to be so nice having familiar face in town.
    Paul: I’m glad to be here, I think this is going to be a nice change.
    Ashley: Where are you staying?
    Paul: For now at a hotel but I’m hoping to find a place close to Ricky.
    Ashley: Have you seen him yet or informed Isabella’s brother of your plans.
    Paul: Not yet, he won’t let me see him.
    Ashley: Why?
    Paul: He doesn’t like that I gave up Ricky when he was a baby, he says no good father would do that, but I do love Ricky it’s just that I had…
    Ashley: I know. You are a great father and I’m sure Ricky loves you.
    Paul: I hope so because I plan to sue for full custody.

    Down the Hall at the Hospital

    Javier: Dr. Forrester, I didn’t appreciate the way your ex husband talked to me yesterday.
    Bridget: You knew he was my ex husband.
    Javier: What can I say, I read the Society Pages from time to time.
    Bridget: I’m sorry about that, I didn’t know he ...
    Javier: You don’t know a lot of things and I doubt you ever will. You have no clue what it is like to be out in the real world and have to struggle to pay bills, student loans, raise a family on a tight budget. You will probably get bored and leave the hospital to go make dresses that cost a fortune.
    Bridget: I assure you I won’t be doing that.
    Javier: Of course not, I wouldn’t be that lucky.
    Bridget: I am sorry you don’t like me, but…
    Javier: But you can make it up to me by doing all of my paper work for the next month. Starting with these ( he hands her a stack of folders) and you better hope your ex doesn’t find out about this for my sake and yours. ( she nods)

    (Felicia walks up to Bridget.)

    Felicia: What they hell, Bridget?
    Bridget: What?
    Felicia: How could you take that from him? I saw everything!
    Bridget: He’s my boss.
    Felicia: I don’t care, that is not how you motivate one of your staff members. Who needs to be notified about this?
    Bridget: Nobody. It will only make matters worse, in a few months he will find somebody else to torture.
    Felicia: Well if you’re going to have to put up with that, its time you take a few lessons from the best bitch of all.
    Bridget: Who?
    Felicia: Me, of course.

    Thomas and Phoebe leave Taylor’s room

    Thorne: Not for you guys either?
    Phoebe: Nope. Steffi even called, but she wouldn’t talk to her.
    Stephanie: Alright that’s enough; if her own children can’t even get through to her then I’m going to have to do it.
    Thorne: Go mom, you’re the only other one.

    Down the Hall

    Bridget: And that’s all I have to do.
    Felicia: Yep.
    Bridget: You think it will actually work.
    Felicia: Yeah, don’t take anything from him and you will see that his bark is bigger than his bite.

    (Storm enters)

    Storm: Hey.
    Felicia: Hey yourself.
    Storm: I just came by to offer my condolences.
    Felicia: Good luck. She isn’t seeing anybody.
    Storm: Maybe I will send a card then. You ate?
    Felicia: Excuse me?
    Storm: I just got off work and I haven’t had dinner yet, would you like to join me?
    Felicia: As in a date?
    Storm: As in dinner.

    (Donna overhears)

    Donna: Are you guys going out to dinner?
    Storm: I am, I don’t know about Felicia here.
    Felicia: Well Dino is with Katherine, so I suppose I could join you.
    Donna: Thorne was talking about eating at Café Russe, would you guys like to join us?
    Storm: That sounds good to me. Felicia?
    Felicia: Sure.

    Taylor’s Room

    Taylor: What do you want Stephanie.
    Stephanie: I want you to get better that’s all.
    Taylor: Then leave me alone.
    Stephanie: I can’t do that Taylor. I love you too much to let you fall into a depression.
    Taylor: Stephanie, I am far from depression. I’m a psychologist I think I would know.
    Stephanie: Who are you trying to fool? Me or yourself? Maybe that’s the problem maybe you are too close to the situation.
    Taylor: What are you talking about?
    Stephanie: You are confusing your personal crisis with your profession.
    Taylor: Are you suggesting that I need therapy.
    Stephanie: I am. Taylor you have just experienced a terrible, terrible loss. But distancing yourself from the ones, who love you, is not right. You know this.
    Taylor: Don’t tell me what I know.
    Stephanie: That’s it. ( she gets out her cell phone)
    Taylor: What are you doing? Who are you calling?
    Stephanie: (on the phone) Yes. I am afraid we are going to need you. I hate pulling you away from your conference but I do believe it’s urgent. See you soon. (she hangs up )
    Taylor: Who was that? If that’s a doctor on staff here you can forget it. I know all of them and I refuse to see any of them.
    Stephanie: It is not a doctor on staff.
    Taylor: Than who was it?
    Stephanie: James.

    Ridge and Brookes House- Morning

    Brooke wakes up and rolls over and sees ridge awake and sitting on the bed.

    Brooke: Morning honey, how long have you been up?
    Ridge: All night practically. I couldn’t sleep.
    Brooke: Why? If it’s about the new company don’t worry about it. Things are going to be just fine.
    Ridge: It isn’t the company. It’s Rick and Phoebe. I just don’t like the idea of the two of them being together all of the time.
    Brooke: Ridge I thought we weren’t going to have this discussion anymore. It’s the only way I allowed you back in bed last night. Rick has assured me that it is just a friendship, nothing more nothing less.
    Ridge: I hope so.
    Brooke: Look I’m meeting Rick for coffee. I will ask him again, you should come too.
    Ridge: Me?
    Brooke: Yeah we could ask him his true intentions and you can hear with your own ears that he has no interest in dating your daughter.
    Ridge: I can’t. I need to be at the office. In fact I should already be on my way, but you have a nice cup of coffee and I will see you later at work. (He kisses her and goes into the bathroom)

    Forrester Creations
    Nick, Jackie, Donna, and Clarke are busy working on new designs.

    Donna: What do you think about this one? (holding up a sketch of a design)
    Clarke: I like that.
    Jackie: Oh, Donna that is exquisite.
    Donna: Thank you, I worked really hard on this design. Nick what do you think?
    Nick: If they like it then I like it.
    Jackie: Nicky.. Is everything alright?
    Nick: Yes mother I’m fine. Everything is fine. ( His phone rings)
    Nick: Hello. (Its Taylor)
    Taylor: Where are you? The doctor is about to see me.
    Nick: Oh I’m so sorry. We had an early meeting, but I’m on my way.
    Taylor: Please hurry. (She hangs up)

    Bridget walks in

    Bridget: Is everything alright Taylor?
    Taylor: Yes, Nick is just running a little late. I changed my appointment to this morning because I thought it would be best for his work schedule.
    Bridget: Well I guess when one takes over a major fashion house, that would take up a lot of ones time.
    Taylor: Yeah, I don’t think Nick knew how much of his time this takeover was going be.
    Bridget: Well I better get back to my shift, my boss is a killer.
    Taylor: Alright. It was nice seeing you, we should have lunch sometime.
    Bridget: I’d like that. (she leaves the room)

    In the hallway

    Dr. Solis: Well, well, well Dr. Forrester I don’t believe you have a patient on this floor and I don’t believe you have a break scheduled for another half hour.
    Bridget: Dr. Solis, I had to come by the lab on this floor and noticed a friend of mine was having a check up so I didn’t think it would hurt if I stopped by for a second.
    Dr. Solis: Wouldn’t hurt? Wouldn’t hurt? How stupid can you be? There are patients that are hurt that need your care! How did you ever make it through med school? You stupid little…
    Nick: Alright that’s quite enough!

    Insomnia Café
    Rick and Phoebe are having coffee as C.J. watches from behind the bar.

    Rick: You have beautiful eyes
    Phoebe: Thank you.
    Rick: You really surprised me the yesterday with the kiss.
    Phoebe: I’m not the same innocent little girl I was before you left town. I’ve grown up.

    Brooke Walks In

    Rick: Mom, over here.
    Brooke: Hello, honey. Phoebe, I didn’t know you were going to be here.
    Phoebe: I was here getting my coffee and ran into Rick. I’m going to let you two talk (she moves to the bar where CJ is at)
    Brooke: Was it just a coincidence?
    Rick: Of course mom, you don’t think..
    Brooke: No. I was just making sure.
    Rick: Ridge put you up to it?
    Brooke: No.. well yes, but I think this crazy idea that you and Phoebe are hooking up is just in his imagination and I think he is beginning to realize it.

    At the Bar

    CJ: So what’s that all about?
    Phoebe: What?
    CJ: You and Rick, you two looked pretty….involved.
    Phoebe: Involved? We were just talking.
    CJ: Yeah and I also know Rick .

    Phoebe: Well I know him too, and I know what I’m doing.
    CJ: I hope so. I’d hate for you to have your heart broken.
    Phoebe: That’s not going to happen.

    Forrester Creations
    Jackie, Clarke, and Donna are working, although Jackie seems a million miles away.

    Clarke: Jackie, do you like this one? (Holding up a design)
    Donna: Oh, I like that one a lot Clarke, don’t you Jackie?
    Clarke: Jackie, earth to Jackie?
    Jackie: Hmm, oh I’m sorry I am just so worried about Nicky.
    Clarke: What about him?
    Jackie: He says he’s happy, but I’m not so sure.
    Donna: Well it is no doubt in my mind that he would be much better off if he was with my sister.
    Jackie: But Brooke has moved on. She’s back with Ridge.
    Clarke: Like that has ever stopped her before. She ping pong’s from Ridge to Eric, to Thorne, to…
    Donna: Okay Clarke, that’s quite enough.
    Clarke: I’m just saying that at the end of the day Brooke always ends up with Ridge.
    Jackie: Clarke is right.
    Donna: I’ll admit that that has been the pattern, but what if Brooke was to break it off with Ridge, could Nick step in to comfort her.
    Jackie: I have no doubt in mind; do you know something we don’t?
    Donna: Well, I know things have been rocky between them since Rick has come back to town. Ridge is convinced that he is going after Phoebe.
    Jackie: So all we would have to do is get Ridge to witness a compromising position between Rick and Phoebe and then….
    Clarke: And then Ridge would go ballistic, make a scene and Brooke would leave him.
    Donna: It could work.
    Clarke: Don’t you feel bad destroying your sisters marriage?
    Donna: I know that Brooke would be much better off with Nick. Ridge is controlling and arrogant, plus he’s always talking down to Thorne. Ridge needs to be brought down a peg or two.
    Jackie: He sure does, and Nicky could finally be happy.
    Clarke: Umm.. you two are forgetting one thing.
    Donna: What?
    Clarke: Taylor. What about her and her happiness?
    Jackie: Clarke’s right, Nicky would never leave Taylor, not in the condition she is in.
    Donna: Condition?
    Jackie: Well, I’m really not supposed to say.
    Clarke: Its too late Jackie, the cat is out of the bag.
    Donna: Is Taylor ill? Is that where Nick had to go when he practically sprinted out of the office?
    Jackie: No, not ill, just pregnant.
    Clarke: Well don’t jump for joy or anything grandma.
    Jackie: Don’t call me that. And I am happy that Nicky is finally going to be a father, it what he has always wanted. It’s just that the mother of his child is the wrong woman.

    The Hospital

    Dr. Solis: Excuse me, but this is a personnel problem and if you wouldn’t mind stepping back.
    Nick: No excuse me. I am Nick Marone. My father is Massimo Marone a board member and long time contributor to this hospital. He is currently unable to attend meetings and I am his proxy. Now if you wouldn’t mind apologizing to aahh ( he reads her name tag) Dr. Forrester (he winks to her)
    Dr. Solis: I apologize doctor. You do have rounds to do. (he walks away)
    Bridget: Thank you, but you shouldn’t have done that.
    Nick: I couldn’t let him talk to you like that.
    Bridget: Something tells me I will be changing bed pans for the next year.
    Nick: Just let me know and I will have another chat with Dr. Dumbass.
    Bridget: I have to go or Dr. Dumbass will be back, Taylor is right in there.
    Nick: Thanks.

    He enters the room

    Nick: Hey babe and baby.
    Dr. Jackson: Was that last one for me?
    Nick: Sure.
    Taylor: Sucking up to doctor will not make me less mad at you for being late.
    Nick: Sorry, but I had a situation out in the hall to take care of.
    Dr. Jackson: Well, you are just in time for to hear your baby’s heartbeat for the very first time.
    Nick: I can’t wait.

    The doctor begins the procedure

    Taylor: I don’t hear anything..
    Dr. Jackson: Don’t get excited let me just check some things.
    Taylor: Nick…
    Nick: Don’t worry things are going to be fine, right doctor?
    Dr. Jackson: I’m so sorry.
    Taylor: Sorry?
    Dr. Jackson: There is no heartbeat.

    Forrester Originals
    Ashley’s Office

    Ashley is unpacking a box at her desk and talking on the phone to her daughter Abby, who is attending a boarding school in Chicago.

    Ashley: Hi honey, how is school?
    Ashley: That’s great honey and you’re making plenty of friends?
    Ashley: And you still like Chicago? Cool (there is a knock on her door)
    Ashley: Honey I’m going to have to let you go, I will call you back later enjoy your day! I love you and miss you, bye.
    Ashley: (still going through a box) Come in!
    Knocks continue
    Ashley walks to the door and opens it and is surprised to see who is on the other side.

    Upstairs in the Conference Room Eric, Stephanie, Ridge, Taylor and Nick are waiting to welcome home Thomas who has been in Paris studying design.

    Ridge (to Taylor): I’m so excited our son is coming home.
    Taylor: I am too, Ridge. I missed so much of Thomas growing up when I was away, and after I came back he was off to Paris before too long. I’m just looking forward to reconnecting with him again.
    Ridge: You two always had a special bond.
    Nick: And I’m sure Taylor will have that same bond with our child.
    Ridge: You’re pregnant?
    Taylor: Barely, and I do not want it brought up, it’s still very early and anything can happen.
    Nick: But, it won’t.
    Taylor: Besides today is about Thomas, and when the time is right I will tell everybody the news, just not now.
    Ridge: Your secret is safe with me.

    Ashleys Office

    Ashley: Paul! Paul Williams?! Is that you? What are you doing here?(she hugs him)
    Paul: In the flesh.
    Ashley: What brings you here?
    Paul: I was out here visiting my son, Ricky and heard about you working for the Forrester’s and decided to stop by.
    Ashley: Yeah, I needed a fresh start. So how long are you here for?
    Paul: My flight leaves later today. Do you want to have lunch?
    Ashley: Sure that would be great. Is noon good for you?
    Paul: Perfect.

    Rick enters Ashley’s Office

    Rick: Oh, sorry to interrupt.
    Ashley: Oh no, Rick, its fine.
    Paul: In fact I was just leaving.
    Ashley: I’m sorry Rick Forrester this is Paul Williams an old friend from Genoa City.
    Rick: Nice to meet you.
    Ashley (to Paul) And this is Rick Forrester he and I are the newcomers around here. In fact we knew each other from my time in Paris. Rick is actually the one who recommended I join Forrester Originals.
    Paul: That’s nice and a pleasure to meet you. I’ve got to go but I will meet you at noon.
    Ashley: Great, see you then.
    Rick: In L.A. less than a week and already have a date.
    Ashley: It’s not a date, Paul and I are old friends, we dated some, but it was really innocent. Besides my personal life isn’t any of your business.
    Rick: Your right, I apologize. I just wanted to come down and officially welcome you to the Forrester family.
    Ashley: Well thank you. If you will excuse me, I have a meeting to attend.
    Rick: So do I, want to trade?
    Ashley: Hmmm a marketing meeting with tough buyers I don’t think…
    Rick: Worse. A meeting with the family. Ridges son Thomas is coming home.

    The Forrester conference room
    Taylor: Nick, I thought we agreed we weren’t going to tell anybody until I was well into my second trimester.
    Nick: I know, but I couldn’t hold it in, I just want to shout it from the rooftops.
    Taylor: Well hold on just a little bit longer, by the way my appointment was moved to tomorrow afternoon you’re still going to be able to make it aren’t you?
    Nick: I wouldn’t miss it.

    Stephanie’s on the phone
    Stephanie: Yes, thank you Megan. (hangs up phone) Alright everybody Thomas is on his way.
    He enters
    Eric: There he is.
    Ridge: There’s my boy!
    Taylor: (hugging him) Welcome home honey.
    Thomas: It’s great to be home, hello everybody.

    Paul and Ashley are having lunch

    Paul: So how is your salad?
    Ashley: Wonderful and your burger?
    Paul: Delicious. So tell me how do you like L.A.?
    Ashley: Well it’s definitely different, but I needed a change. I miss Abby terribly, but Victor, Brad and myself decided that with everything going on in our lives sending Abby to the Academy was the best thing for her. She loves it there by the way, if she didn’t she would be right here with me, but it’s a wonderful school. In fact it’s the same one I attended when I was her age.
    Paul: I didn’t know you lived in Chicago.
    Ashley: Oh yes, my entire family lived there, although soon after I was born we moved to Genoa City. In fact it was Chicago that my family was first acquainted with the Forrester’s.
    Paul: Really? How so?
    Ashley: Well I was born the same day as the Forrester’s daughter, and our family’s met through the waiting room, however there daughter Angela, I believe, didn’t make it.
    Paul: Wow.
    Ashley: Yeah, our families really didn’t remain close other than an occasional Christmas card or business transaction. Anyway, how are things in Genoa City? How’s the P.I. Business.
    Paul: Things are slow in the P.I. Business. And in Genoa City. Especially since that psychopath Shelia Carter killed Maggie.
    Ashley: I’m so sorry about that Paul I know you two were just getting close. So Jack told me that she had cosmetic surgery to look like Phyllis Newman?
    Paul: Yeah, she’s completely deranged, but she’s gone now too. Lauren gave her what she deserved.
    Ashley: (trying to change the subject) So tell me, how is your son?
    Paul: Ah Ricky is great, with everything going on back home I haven’t had the time to see him that much, he’s actually living with Isabella’s brother now, her parents were killed in a car accident a little over a year ago.
    Ashley: That’s horrible.
    Paul: Yeah I would love to have him come live with me in Genoa City someday. Anyway it’s been great seeing you again, but if we don’t leave now I will miss my flight.
    Ashley: Okay let’s go. Check please(to the waiter)

    The Forrester Hallway

    Rick is walking by the elevator as it opens Phoebe runs out the elevator and into Rick.

    Rick: Hey! Watch it.
    Phoebe: Rick I’m so sorry, I’m just late for Thomas’ welcome home party.
    Rick: Well I’m just now going myself we can go together.
    Phoebe: Okay cool.

    They enter the party.

    Thomas: Hey sis!
    Ridge: You have got to be kidding me.
    Stephanie: Honey, calm down Rick is a good guy.
    Ridge: Mother, he is a snake. I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him.
    Stephanie: Phoebe is mature young woman; she knows what she’s doing.
    Ridge: I’m not so sure.

    Later in the day the party is now over and Thomas goes to see Eric.

    Eric’s office

    (Knocks)
    Eric: Come in.
    Thomas: Hey Grandpa.
    Eric: Thomas what can I do for you.
    Thomas: I wanted to talk to you about my time in Paris.
    Eric: Yeah, I was hoping you would, I just didn’t want to rush you with your just getting into town and settled.
    Thomas: Well I have some sketches I’ve been working on. Would you like to see them?
    Eric: I’d love too.
    He looks at them for a while.
    Thomas: Well what do you think?
    Eric: They’re interesting.
    Thomas: They suck, don’t they?
    Eric: Now no, they aren’t bad, they just need some work.
    Thomas: I worked hard on them and wanted to really impress you.
    Eric: Thomas, you’re very green, but you remind me so much of your father. I defiantly see some raw talent in these drawings. Keep working and I have no doubt you will be a top designer one day.
    Thomas: (disappointed) Thanks grandpa.

    Outside the Forrester design house

    Rick: I enjoyed showing you the ropes of the management department, I had no idea you were interested in the business side of the fashion house.
    Phoebe: I hope you didn’t mind my tagging along.
    Rick: Nonsense I enjoy spending time with you.
    Phoebe: I enjoyed spending time with you today too.
    Rick: I don’t think your dad likes us hanging out.
    Phoebe: Why?
    Rick: I’m not sure I just get the feeling he thinks I’m a bad influence.
    Phoebe: Well he obviously doesn’t know me that well. (She kisses him)

    Next on The Bold Ones
    Nick and Taylor get some unexpected news from the doctor.
    Jackie and Donna team up together to play matchmaker.

    Forrester Originals boardroom

    All of the family is there Eric, Stephanie, Ridge, Brooke, Thorne, and Felicia.

    Eric: I think we all know why I called this special meeting. We need an official vote on whether to bring on Ashley Abbott to create a new fragrance to help with the launch of our new line.
    Stephanie: I think it’s a great idea, we have known the Abbott family for years and Ashley is a wonderful chemist.
    Ridge: I agree mother, Jabot made a mistake letting her slip through their fingers.
    Felicia: I vote yes too. This could be very marketable…
    Thorne: If it’s a success, sis. What if the fragrance stinks? Are we sure this is the right time to do something this extravagant?
    Brooke: I agree with Thorne, Eric. This is a risky move, especially with us jumpstarting a new company.
    Stephanie: Oh Brooke why am I not surprised? And Thorne I am ashamed of you, don’t you have more confidence in your father and brother and sister, and yourself?
    Thorne: Of course I have confidence, its just you never know what the public wants; I just don’t want us to fall on our faces, the first second out of the gate.
    Eric: We won’t son, because we are Foresters.
    Ridge: Damn it! We wouldn’t even be in this situation if it wasn’t for Nick Marone.
    Felicia: I am with dad. We will show them, Nick doesn’t have a clue about fashion.
    Thorne: Fine I am in, but don’t make me say I told you so.
    Ridge: Logan…
    Brooke: Alright, this could be good thing.
    Eric: Great. Then Ashley Abbott is now a member of Forrester Originals.
    Stephanie: Eric would you like me to call Ashley and give her the news.
    Eric: Thanks. (He kisses her on the cheek) This is going to be a good thing. I can feel it. (Then kisses her on the lips)

    The Marone Mansion-
    Nick and Taylor are walking to the front door.

    Taylor: I am a little nervous.
    Nick: Don’t be, my parents love you.
    Taylor: I am not so sure; I know they prefer Brooke.
    Nick: They know I love you and only you now. All they want is for me to be happy.
    Taylor: And being with me makes you happy?
    Nick: Why would you even ask that, I love you, I want to marry you, YOU are carrying my child. Now let’s go in and tell them the news.
    Taylor: I don’t know why I am nervous, it’s not like I haven’t never done this before.

    Stephanie’s Office
    Stephanie’s at her desk on the phone

    Stephanie: Hello, Ashley. It’s Stephanie Forrester.
    Ashley: Stephanie, yes. Hello.
    Stephanie: Ashley, I have wonderful news, you were voted in unanimously! On behalf of Eric and the rest of the board, I would like to welcome you to Forrester Originals. That is if.. you are still interested.
    Ashley: Yes of course I am. Thank you so much!
    Stephanie: Listen I have another meeting I need to get to; I just wanted to call you personally and give you the news.
    Ashley: Thank you again Stephanie.
    Stephanie: Sure, I know you are going to be a great asset to the company. When can you come down and sign some papers?
    Ashley: How about later today?
    Stephanie: That sounds great.

    Brooke’s office
    Brooke is looking out the window with a preoccupied look on her face. Ridge knocks on the door and enters.

    Ridge: Logan… something on your mind.
    Brooke: It’s Rick. I am worried about him. Ever since Nick bought Forrester Creations, he has been out of job.
    Ridge: Well Dad asked him to join us here at Originals.
    Brooke: I know, but he didn’t want to leave Paris, now he’s having a hard time finding a new job, it’s not that easy.
    Ridge: Then tell him to come back home, we can make room for him.
    Brooke: He just doesn’t want to look like a failure to the rest of the family.
    Ridge: Does he want to come back or not?
    Brooke: He does. He just doesn’t want to give up his life in Paris.
    Ridge: He must have some life. Thomas has been there for months studying with the best designers and Rick has barely acknowledged his being there.
    Brooke: Rick was very busy working for Forrester International, you know that.
    Ridge: Look I am not going to get into another fight with you over Rick. If he wants to come back that’s great. If he doesn’t, that’s fine too. Now come on we are late for the marketing meeting.

    Marone Mansion

    Nick and Taylor are waiting at the door. Jackie answers it.

    Jackie: Hello Nicky! How are you darling?
    Nick: I’m fine mom, I didn’t come alone.
    Jackie: Yes of course, hello Taylor.
    Taylor: Jackie.
    Nick: Where is dad?
    Jackie: He is actually out back enjoying the sun for once.
    Nick: I will go wheel him in.
    Taylor: Has he had anymore episodes?
    Jackie: No and when he comes in, please don’t bring up anything about his stroke. He has a lot of pride and knowing that something happened to him that he couldn’t control…..
    Taylor: I understand, if he needs to talk about it, I wouldn’t mind.
    Jackie: Thank you Taylor and I know that you are a wonderful therapist, but Massimo Marone is not one to open up about his feelings- to anyone. In fact he rarely speaks now, and the speech therapist cleared him a month ago.

    Nick pushes Massimo in his wheel chair to the sitting area.

    Nick: Dad, Taylor and I didn’t come over just to have lunch we have something important to tell you and mother.
    Jackie: Nicky, what is it?
    Nick: I asked Taylor to marry me.
    Taylor: And I said yes!
    Jackie: Nicky…
    Nick: And mother before you say anything else, Taylor is also carrying my child,(to Massimo) your grandchild Pop.
    (Massimo Smiles)
    Jackie: Oh, Nicky. I am so happy for you! And you Taylor. (she hugs her)

    The Cook enters.
    Cook: Lunch is served
    Jackie: Come along darling.(To Massimo)
    Nick: I’ll take him in mom.

    Jackie and Taylor leave for the dinning room.

    Nick: Okay Pop lets go eat some grub.
    Massimo: (raising his hand) Wait!
    Nick: Pop! Are you alright?
    Massimo: I am fine, what I am worried about is your business sense.
    Nick: What are you talking about?
    Massimo: I am very happy for you son, you have a woman who loves you and an heir on the way, but where is your head for business? Buying Forrester Creations, while nearly bankrupting Morone Industries, just to stick it to your brother! You had better turn a profit, my boy or we will all be out on the streets!

    Episode 2


    Eric’s Office- Eric, Brooke, and Ridge are waiting on Rick to arrive.

    Eric: Where is he?
    Brooke: Don’t worry Eric, he will be here soon. I just talked to him.
    Ridge: He better get here soon, or we will be late for the party.
    Eric: Where was he?
    Brooke: The jet was landing at the airport.
    Eric: Good. I can’t wait to see him.
    Brooke: Me too. It seems like a year since we have seen him.
    Ridge: Not nearly enough if you ask me.
    Brooke: Ridge!
    Eric: Ridge! Now you are both my sons, and I love you just the same, but I cannot have you talking about you brother that way.
    Brooke: I know you and Rick have your differences, but please for the sake of the family can you please work past them.
    Ridge: Brooke, I have no problem with him. It’s your son that has the problem. He hates me.
    Eric: That’s crazy! Rick is your brother.
    Ridge: Exactly dad, Rick is jealous that I am his brother. He hates that I wasn’t kicked to the curb, when the truth came out that Massimo was my biological father.
    Brooke: Like you and Throne haven’t had your differences? You two are going to work out your problems, so we can all be a happy family.
    Ridge: Logan, he despises me even more because I’m married to you again. Hell, he probably blames me for his loosing his job.
    Rick enters.
    Rick: You’re damn right I do.

    Insomnia Café

    Donna: Okay guys the sign is a little lower on the left, C.J. can you raise your end up just a tad? Okay great, right there. No honey now your side is too high!
    Thorne: How about now?
    Donna: Right there! Don’t move.
    CJ: I need to go to the back and see if the cake has been delivered.
    Donna: Thanks, and can you make sure that it says “Congratulations Storm”
    Thorne: What are you so tense about? The party is going to be a success.
    Donna: I hope so; I just want it to be perfect for my brother. He has done so much for me over the years; I just want to pay him back.
    Thorne: He will love it. ( he kisses her, but she doesn’t kiss back) Stop worrying about the party.
    Donna: It isn’t the party so much, it’s us.
    Thorne: What about us? I thought we were having a good time together.
    Donna: We are, but I always feel awkward around your parents, like they resent me for working for Nick. I’ve been in relationships before that I thought were going somewhere and then the parents got in the way, and I got burned. I just don’t want that to happen again.

    Thorne: My parents have no problem with you. The fact that you work for Nick now is a bit complicated, but we are making it work. We would love to bring you on at Originals, but our budget is kind of strapped, but when the purse strings loosen...

    Donna: They loosened enough to bring on Ashley Abbott. It’s was in all the trades this morning, plus Rick is coming back.

    Thorne: I was against Ashley coming on board, and Rick is family.

    Donna: I know and I’m glad my nephew is back with his family, its just we have a great thing going and I love Ally, and I just don’t want our professional lives getting in the way of our personal ones.

    CJ: I hate to interrupt, but the caterer insist you told her the cake said “Congratulations Sam”

    Donna: No!! ( she runs towards the kitchen)

    (Thorne grabs her arm)
    Thorne: Don’t worry about it; we love each other it’s all that matters.
    (She kisses him)

    CJ: Look who’s here! What’s up man!
    Rick: Not much man. (they shake hands)
    CJ: So are you back for a visit?
    Rick: Looks like I will be here for a while.
    CJ: Cool, it will be like old times.
    Rick: Hey, I’m sorry to hear about your mother. I hate that I couldn’t make the services.
    CJ: Thanks, its okay, I got your card. I miss her like crazy, but I know she’s happy now, with Macy and Darla. Do you want a coffee?
    Rick: I would love one, I need a caffeine kick. (they go to the bar)

    Thorne comes out of the kitchen

    Thorne: Hey Guys, I just called Felicia she has stalled Storm as long as she can; they are on their way now.
    Brooke: Is there anything I can do to help?
    Donna: No, I have everything under control, except for a minor cake problem.
    Ridge: Is Phoebe here yet?
    Thorne: I haven’t seen her.
    Brooke: She will be here; she is a responsible young woman. Speaking of…
    She walks in
    Phoebe: Did I miss the party or something.
    Ridge: No, honey you’re right on time.
    Phoebe: Is that Rick at the bar!
    Ridge: yeah…..
    Brooke: Why don’t you go over and say hello, I know he will love to see you.
    Ridge: Why did you do that?
    Brooke: What? You don’t want our children to have conversations with each other?
    Ridge: (changing the subject) Bridget you’re here.
    Bridget: (tired) Hey Ridge, hi mom.
    Brooke: Honey, are you alright?
    Bridget: yeah I’m fine, I’m just exhausted, and I just got off a double shift. I’m glad this party is at a coffee house. ( she goes to the bar)

    Phoebe approaches Rick, but is afraid to say anything. She walks up to him then turns away.
    Rick: Phoebe is that you?
    Phoebe: Yeah. It’s me. Hi Rick.
    He hugs her and notices that Ridge is staring him down.
    Rick: You look different since I saw you last, you’re grown up now.
    Phoebe: I’m 18 now.
    Rick: Wow. Well you look great, what have you been up to?
    Phoebe: Thanks. Just enjoying my summer, so are you in just for a visit?
    Rick: I’m here for a while actually.
    Phoebe: Great! I mean thats great for your family.
    Rick: Yeah I suppose, I am going to tell my sister hello. Hopefully, I will see you around.
    She smiles
    Ridge is still looking at him, Rick smiles at him.

    Rick: Hey sis.
    Bridget: Hey, your back.
    Rick: You look like hell.
    CJ: She should, she just finished a double shift. I’m going to let you two catch up.
    Bridget: I was just telling CJ, I’m having a real hard time at work. My supervisor will not let up on me.
    Rick: What is he doing?
    Bridget: He hates me, because I come from a privileged family.
    Rick: That’s crazy, did he really say that?
    Bridget: Not in so many words, He hates me because he had to struggle through med school financially. He makes little comments all the time, always gives me the worse assignments…
    Rick: Do you want me to talk to him?
    Bridget: No, I can handle it, don’t worry about me.

    Felicia comes running in.

    Felicia: Okay, he’s coming!
    Donna: Alright everybody when he comes in everybody yell “congratulations”
    He enters
    “Congratulations”
    Storm: Wow, I never would have guessed that there was a party waiting for me (sarcastically)
    Donna: You knew!
    Storm: I didn’t get elected A.D. A. of L.A. County for nothing.
    Felicia: You didn’t have a clue.
    Storm: Oh yeah, you were so subtle with “shut up and get in the car, we’re going to a party” (mimicking Felicia’s voice)
    Felicia: I do not sound like that, and I did not say that! Donna I promise.
    Storm: Yes you di..
    Felicia: Shut up. And eat some cake.
    Storm: Who is Sam?
    Donna: I’m sorry, it was a mix up.

    Rick sees Phoebe at the bar and decides to set his plan in motion.
    Rick: Did you get some “Sam” Cake.
    Phoebe: A little piece, I’m trying to watch my carbs.
    Rick: You don’t need to worry about that, you have a great figure.

    Ridge: Look at him over there
    Brooke: You mean Rick? What is he doing?
    Ridge: Flirting with my daughter.
    Brooke: Oh Ridge, please.
    Ridge: I’m serious Logan. He has been flirting with her all night.
    Brooke: Rick is a nice guy he is just talking to her, I doubt he is flirting with Phoebe, and if is would that be so bad?
    Ridge: Yeah it would, I don’t want him anywhere near my daughter.
    Brooke: Ridge you are blowing things out of proportion, they are just talking, it’s completely harmless.
    Ridge: I don’t want your twenty something son seducing my impressionable 18 year old daughter.
    Brooke: Seducing! Ridge now you have crossed the line, you need to lay off Rick. He hasn’t been back in town twenty four hours and you…..
    Ridge: He hasn’t been back in town for twenty four hours and is already putting the moves on my daughter trying to stick it to me!
    The music stops and everybody looks at them.
    Brooke: That’s it Ridge, until you can put this negative obsession with my son behind you we can’t be together. I’m going home, to our bed, when you get home sleep in one of the guest rooms.
