http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!! (EXT: Cruz & Eden's Beach House) ---Julia finishes putting on her earrings as Eden comes down the spiraled staircase. Her hair is pulled back tightly, her makeup and her dress subdued. The only jewelery she wears is her wedding ring. "Thanks for staying with me last night. I don't know what I would have done without you the last few weeks, Julia," Eden says. "Don't think anything of it- I wouldn't have been anywhere else. And it's been nice to not have to focus on my own problems for a while..." "Mason's still staying at the hotel...." "Yes, by my choice. He needs to sort some things out and until he does that, we can't go on pretending as if his feelings for Mary don't exist." "He loves you Julia." "Let's not talk about Mason- there's enough going on today as it is without worrying about your brother's state of mind....." Eden's face grows long. "Oh Eden, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...." Eden tells her that it's quite alright, there's no need to walk on eggshells around her. She looks at her watch and says they should be heading to the church so she can be there to greet people as they arrive. The doorbell rings and Eden is pleased to see Chip standing on the other side of it, dressed in his suit. Her eyes well with tears at the site of him. "You remind so much of your father standing there.... I'm so proud of you." She takes him in her arms and hugs him tight. He asks where Adriana is and she tells him she stayed with Samantha and is heading to the church with her. Chip asks who she was going to ride with and she says she was planning on driving herself or going with Julia. He insists that they allow him to drive them both. She nods in agreement and the three of them take off for the church. (EXT: Gina's Condominium) ---Gina is impressed with how chipper Lily seems to be. She asks what it is that has her daughter so happy, but Lily is vague, only saying that karma has a funny way of repaying people. Gina gives her a half-confused look as the doorbell rings. "After seeing you in action the other night, I'm not sure I want to know what you mean by that..." Gina says as she's walking to the door. Gina stops dead in her tracks when she sees who's standing on the other side. "BRANDON!" Gina raps her arms around the boy she raised as her own, now very much a grown man. She brings him in and tells him how handsome he looks in his suit. She realizes that he knows about Cruz and is going to the funeral. He asks why she isn't dressed to go, but she claims she won't be attending. "Why not mom? I was hoping you'd be there with me.....I could barely stomach CC yesterday and when they're all together like that as a group....Mason is the only sane one in the bunch!" "You really are my son, aren't you? I would do anything for you Brandon, you know that, but I don't think I ought to be there- we all know how the Capwells feel about me- and if it happened to any one of them but Cruz I wouldn't care......but I wouldn't to do anything to disrupt his service." "What about Channing? Shouldn't he be there? He's Eden's brother...." Gina explains that Channing spent the night with CC and is attending with his father. Brandon is impressed with his mother's newfound maturity. "Don't be fooled," Lily interjects "She's just taking the day off...." Brandon asks why Lily isn't going, since she used to have a thing with Rafe. She explains that is exactly why she doesn't want to be there, reminding him about their encounter at the Lair. "What encounter?" Gina interrupts. "UH-Oh" Brandon says "How long have you been in town Brandon? And YOU!" she motions to Lily "Why didn't you tell me your brother was here?" Brandon explains that he's actually been in town on business and informs her that he actually bought the Lair and has been working on the remodel and the opening. Gina laments that it's been going on for months and Brandon explains that he didn't want anyone to know he was in town or that he bought the Lair until he got things rolling. Gina is disappointed that he hasn't called and he promises he'll make up for it. Brandon checks his watch. "You should get going, the service is starting soon, I don't want to keep you. Give Eden, Adriana and the Castillos my best." "Are you sure you don't want to come with me mom? Victoria Lane will be there." "That's quite alright, Brandon- I had a lifetime's worth of Victoria Lane when she lived in Santa Barbara when you were little. Keep an eye on your brother for me. I love you." "I love you too." He kisses his mother and sister good-bye and heads for the church. (EXT- Chapel) ---Eden, Julia, and Chip arrive at the church and are surprised to see that Adriana and Samantha are already there. Adriana explains that she wanted to get there early and be sure everything was set up and ready to go. She apologizes to her mother for not staying the night before, but says it was just too painful to be there another day. Eden nods silently and walks into the church. She sees Cruz's casket with his picture above it and loses it. "Oh Cruz." she sniffles "It wasn't supposed to be this way, Julia. We were supposed to grow old and grey together. I was supposed to take up knitting, he fishing.....We were going to spoil our grandchilden rotten, take them for ice cream, buy them Christmas gifts and sing Happy Birthday on their first birthday.......How can I do any of that without you darlin?" She begins to sob and Chip takes her in his arms and tries to comfort her. He takes her and sits her down while Adriana greets the Castillos. Carm looks into the church and sees Cruz's casket and his picture, decorated with white Lilies. She removes her glasses and wipes away a tear. She looks over and sees Eden sobbing in the front row and immediately walks toward her. She motions for Chip to let her be alone with Eden. She takes her seat next to her and takes Eden's hand in hers. "He loved you with all his heart Eden- he told me so every chance I got, not that I needed to. I could see it, the way you made his eyes light up. The way he smiled at you, a way that I'd never seen him smile before. It was the exact same way that his father used to smile at me." "I know I wasn't the daughter-in-law you envisioned..." "Nonsense. My son loved you- you made him the happiest he'd ever been, which made me love you. You're like a daughter to me, Eden. You're everything I could want in a daughter-in-law and more." She clutches Eden's hand and kisses it, looking her in the eye. She sees some more people arriving and looks back at her daughter-in-law. The two of them get up together and greet the arrivals- first CC, Channing IV, Ted, and Angela. Warren shows up next to give his condolences, offering the same from his family. Kelly and Ashton come in around the same time as Mason, along with Mary and Brandon. Mason tells Mary that he's glad she decided to come, while Julia looks on from a distance. Then Pearl shows up, which causes Eden to lose it all over again. Pearl takes her in his arms. "Oh Edie..." he chokes back her name "I know- I'm gonna miss him too, I know..." he says, trying to soothe her. Vic shows up with the guys from the police force, all of whom wanted to pay their respects to their superior, co-worker, and friend. Chip greets Victoria and takes her to her place in the church. Eden is shocked when Brick Wallace shows up and remarks she hasn't seen him in ages. She gives him a huge hug. CC isn't as warm, commenting that he had hoped that Brick would have been at Sophia's funeral. Kelly hushes her father up, saying that it isn't the time and takes Brick inside. Rosa arrives with Santana and Danny. Eden marvels at how grown up Danny is and remembers when Cruz helped him kick his addiction to drugs and helped him with Angel. Eden chokes on the name and begins crying again, with Danny taking her in his arms. Cain surprises Eden and is able to calm her down. Everyone begins taking their seats and the priest begins the service. As he speaks, each attendee is shown individually- Eden, Adriana, Chip, Victoria, Mason, Julia, Mary, Kelly, Ashton, Ted, Angela, Warren, CC, Channing IV, Vic, the force, Pearl, Carm, Carmen, Rafael, et all. The time comes for the eulogy and Eden gets up to do it. As she takes her spot, the Ramirezes arrive and quietly sit down in the back as Eden begins to speak. "I never really imagined I would have to do this.....Thank you all for coming, though it doesn't surprise me so many showed up. Cruz was a man who was loved and admired by every person he ever touched.......(her voice starts to crack, but she regains control)......You know, years ago, when I was presumed dead in a plane crash, Cruz stood up here and did this and I honestly don't know how he.....(she begins choking up) got through it...........I'm up here trying to talk about him, trying to remember him but words just won't do him justice. Nothing I can say can adequately describe the kind of man that Cruz Castillo was. I could stand here, using all kinds of adjectives. Loyal. Honest. Dependable. Caring. Noble. Heroic. Strong. Handsome. Loving. None of these words begin to do him justice. He's the best person I've ever known (she says through sobs)- the best friend I've ever had, the best husband I could imagine.....And his death is needless.....It serves no higher purpose......When a person dies of natural causes, one can look to God for answers. You can say to yourself- it was their time.....but Cruz (she chokes)- It wasn't his time, you know- He was just taken- ripped away from all of us, all those who loved him and who need him here with us right now......I need him......And I wish I could accept it...God, I wish I could accept it, but I can't. I can't accept that this was supposed to happen, that his was how he was supposed to die (flash to Santana)........I'm so sorry, to all of you, that I didn't stop this from happening, that I couldn't prevent it somehow....Our love has seen us through all kinds of things...At times, it was the only thing that did get me through......And though I could say that I'll hold that in my heart forever and treasure every memory.....Most of you know me, I'm too (she chokes up again) selfish for that...I want him here, I want him with me and his family who love him so much. It shouldn't be this.....(she chokes the word "way" out before falling into a complete sob) Adriana and Chip get up and go to their mother. The two of them escort her down the stairway as everyone in the church sobs watching the horrific site. Chip remains strong, but Adriana is a mess. As they lead Eden to her seat, Kirk Cranston arrives and takes a seat at the back of the church. His presence immediately catches Eden's eye. Her tears suddenly stop and her face fills with rage. "NO! OH No, GET OUT OF HERE!!!" she says as she's charging down the aisle at Kirk. "I said GET OUT OF HERE you bastard, you don't belong here..." She looks next to him where Marta, Angel, and Carla are seated. "NONE OF YOU DO!!! You KILLED Him!!! All of you MURDERED MY HUSBAND, each and every one of you and you have the nerve to show up at his FUNERAL?" "Eden, I'm sorry, we were just.." Carla says before being cut off. "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! Your husband......he could have prevented all of this but he didn't did he? No, no, not Angel Ramirez. He hasn't had an honest day in his life. And YOU!" she says, looking at Kirk. "I know you DID THIS! I KNOW YOU HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS! And you're going to pay when I find out.....I'll kill you Kirk, I'll KILL YOU!" "Eden, really, you should calm down.. I didn't have anything to.." Kirk says Eden closes her fist and punches Kirk in the face. "I SAID GET OUT OF HERE!! TED! MASON! GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!! ALL OF YOU GET OUT!!! NOne of you care about him....none of you loved him....get out!! GET OUT!!!" Carla tells Angel they should leave and they take Marta and begin to walk out. Mason and Ted help Kirk up and take him on his way. "GET OUT! gET OUT! You don't care....YOu killed him! MURDERERS!! !MURDERERS!!!" she shouts through sobs. Eden collapses into sobs onto the floor and CC rushes to her and raps his arms around her, comforting a very broken Eden. THE END.........for TODAY

I couldn't agree with you more. In times of grief, the family always looks to Mason for composure because he's the only one that has it. She needs him more than she realizes.

Yes, DH, sort of. Edmund brainwashed her into thinking she's his deceased wife, Loretta. The Capwells believe she died in January, when her aneurism burst. (Edmund manipulated things to make it look that way)

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!!! (EXT: The Capwell Hotel- Banquet Room) ---Chip explains to Eden that he wanted to be home as soon as possible and the only way for that to happen was to bring Victoria with him. He tells her that he hopes she isn't upset. Rafael and Carm spring from their chairs and greet their grandson, admiring how much he reminds them of Cruz at his age. He thanks his parents for the compliment and everyone takes their seats again at the table. Eden shows Victoria to her place, quietly speaking with her. "This is a family dinner, Victoria, for Cruz's family & mine. You should have gone to your room in the hotel.." "I'm the mother of Cruz's only son, in case that's slipped your mind Eden. I loved him once too you know and I wanted to come and pay my respects." "Which you could have done tomorrow at the memorial service, but that wouldn't get under my skin enough, now would it?" "Contrary to what you believe, the world doesn't revolve around you Eden. Every decision I make isn't related to you- to be quite honest, I haven't even thought about you in years. Chip barely mentions your name when we're together..." Eden doesn't let Victoria get to her, sitting her at the end of the table with Ted, Angela, Mason and Julia. Everyone once again resumes their meal. Eden dotes on Chip, asking him how he's been and when he's coming back home. He tells her that Victoria has another month or so until she should be able to get around on her own. Eden is disbelieving, saying that she's in a wheelchair. Chip explains that she can walk, her legs are just very week and the wheelchair is more convenient. Eden nods and gives Victoria an inquisitive look. On the other end of the table, Victoria asks Mason & Julia how they've been since she's left, asking about Samantha. Samantha waves, telling Victoria that she's right there. "Oh my goodness, you're all so grown up now- all of you. I remember when the three of you were all teeny tiny little babies." "How nice for you," Samantha says. "Could you pass the salt?" Victoria struggles to reach for it. "Oh, I'm sorry, I should have asked someone else- dad would you mind?" Samantha smirks at Victoria. Mason gives his daughter a look before passing it to her. "So- Mason- 20 years it's been now for you two huh?" "Give or take a couple marriages....." he answers. "I see you still have your trademark wit." "It's a curse." Victoria goes on about how wonderful it is to see them still together, though she knew they would be. She tells them she's happy that everything seems to have worked out for them. Julia gives an uncomfortable nod, then gives Mason a look. (EXT: London, England) ---Edmund pulls up the long driveway to pick up his "wife." As the car approaches the front of the castle, he sees Sophia in a long ice blue gown, beaded and satin at the top, with flowing chiffon at the bottom. The dress is cut off the shoulders and she wears the sapphire necklace he gave her around her neck. The driver lets Edmund out of the car and he's dressed to the nines, in an old English black tuxedo complete with a top hat. He walks up to Sophia and takes her hand and kisses it. "You take my breath away Loretta." "You look pretty handsome yourself there." "Shall we go?" He extends his arm out for her and she hooks hers around his. "We shall." The two of them get into the limousine and take off for the theatre. (EXT: London, England- Theatre) ---Augusta and Lionel take their seats on the balcony. Lionel tells her he's quite charmed that she wanted to go to the theatre again, remembering when they used to attend regularly. "Yes, well I've always wanted to see I Hate Hamlet and I've heard this production is spectacular." Lionel smiles as she begins fidgeting with her binoculars. He watches her grow frustrated as she tries to get them to stay still to look through. He tries to get her to hand them to him, but she pulls away and continues fidgeting, still unable to get them to work. "Will you hand them to ME Augusta?" Lionel says, taking them from her and fixing them. She thanks him and takes them back, looking through them at the crowd below. "What are you looking at? The show hasn't started yet...." "I'm people watching, Lionel- the orchestra, the people below and such..." "People watching? Since when do you care about watching people?" "What are you talking about- I like people watching. We sit outside at restaurants and I look around at people, in the park.." "The park?" "Yes, the park Lionel, I visit the park sometimes..." He gives her a look. "Well I DO!" She looks back into the binoculars and sees Sophia sitting down with Edmund. She's startled and lets out a "Hehhh" noise. "WHat? What is it? Let me see those...." "No! A man just spilled his drink on his date, that's all...." she says, staring back into them. Lionel watches his wife, wondering what she's really up to. (EXT: The Capwell Hotel- Banquet Room) ---Everyone finishes their meal and the guests begin dispersing throughout the room. Rafael and Carm speak with Rosa, asking if Santana will be in town for the memorial service. Brandon's ears perk up and asks when his mother will be coming. Rosa informs them that she had a late shift at the clinic, but she should be arriving the following day. Carm says she remembers when Santana was young and she and Cruz attending their prom together. Carm begins to choke up at the memory of her son and her husband comforts her, and suggests they get settled in their room. Kelly walks up and offers to show them and Ric upstairs to their rooms. Ashton approaches, offerring to come with them, but Kelly tells him she can take care of it on her own and encourages him to stay with the rest of the family. Kelly calls to Victoria and Chip, telling them she may as well show them up as well. Victoria hesitates, as she's talking with Mason, Eden & Julia, but Chip insists that she needs to rest, after the drive and all. "You're right- he takes such good care of me this one. Whatever you say son, let's go..." Chip walks up to Eden and gives her a hug. "Let me just get her settled, mom, and I'll come back down." She nods in approval as Kelly escorts them upstairs, with Ashton following to kiss her good-bye. CC walks up behind him. "You're smothering her, Lavery, just like your father did your mother..." "Don't you dare talk about my father, CC" CC ignores him. "She can't even have a free second away from you? Don't you trust her? Or are you not as confident in your marriage as you'd have all of us believe?" "Oh, CC, I'm sure you'd love for that to be the case. But the fact is your daughter is in love with me and I her, and not a damn thing you say is going to change that. In fact, I encourage you to try.....it only seems to make Kelly want me more..." CC raises his hand to slug him but Rosa walks up and stops him. "Don't let him get to you CC- especially today." "And there your are again, Rosa" Ashton says, over-pronouncing her name. "You're like a bad penny, you know that?" Across the room, Adriana tells Eden that she'd like to spend the night over at Samantha's. Eden tells her that she was hoping that she'd be at the house with her, since the memorial service is the next day. She can't believe that Adriana would even consider not being at the house with her. "It's just for a night...." "You do want you want Adriana- if you want to go to Samantha's, go right ahead. Leave me alone in the house without you or your father there. You're what's important- you and your wants." "It's so hard for me to be there, mom, you know? I just really need to get away from there for a while..." "Again, your needs. You don't think it's hard for me to be there? It's hard enough with you there, but alone? You think I don't want to get away? From the pain I feel every time I see the furniture your father & I picked together, living in the house that he built for the two of us and you and Chip?" "Let her stay at my house Eden- Mason's staying in the hotel tonight, so they can stay at my house and I'll come stay with you." Julia says interrupting. "I guess that would be alright...." Eden says softly. "Thanks Aunt Julia!" Adriana says, as she and Samantha leave. "You're being awfully hard on her" Julia says. "I don't mean to be- it's just, with everything that's going on and what's happened...." "I know, I know you're stressed. Why don't we get out of here and take you home? It's going to be a long day tomorrow...." "Sounds like a good idea to me, mom" Chip says, walking back in. Eden smiles and beams that her son is all grown up. Eden asks if Victoria is settled in and Chip says she's fast asleep, which is what Eden ought to be doing. Eden says that she cannot sleep much since Cruz's death. Chip insists that she try and she smiles and promises that she will. She begins to leave with Julia when Mason stops them, saying that he'd like to have a word with his wife. "Not now Mason." "We need to talk Julia.' "And we will, but this isn't the time. It will have to wait until after tomorrow. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm taking your sister home." They leave and CC walks up behind Mason. "She's not going to put up with you running around the world with your ex-fiance forever, son. Julia is your wife- don't you think it's about time you started acting like it?" "The day I take start taking advice from you, dad, I'll commit myself. Like you did my mother." Mason says, as he exits. "Perhaps one day you could give Mason advice on breaking up a marriage, CC. Something you're quite educated in I believe," Ashton says as he walks out. (EXT: London, England- THEATRE) ---The show ends as Augusta and Lionel stand up to applaud. She sees Edmund and Sophia leaving through her binoculars and begins scurrying to get down there. Lionel cannot understand her rush, but he insists they hurry so they can beat traffic. "Augusta, there are thousands of people here..." "All the more reason we should get a move on now pick up those lead feet Lionel." They hurry down the stairs and she spots Sophia from a distance going to the ladies room. Augusta tells Lionel that she has to powder her nose before they go. "I thought you were in a hurry...." "This can't wait Lionel, now stay here...." She walks into the elegant ladies room and sees Sophia standing in front of the mirror, primping herself. She smiles a devious smile. "Lovely show, don't you think?" Augusta says, expecting Sophia to recognize her. Sophia turns around and looks at a smiling Augusta. "Yes. It was wonderful." "Surprised to see me?" Augusta smiles. "Excuse me?" "Oh you can cut the double talk. What the hell are you doing here?" "I'm sorry, but do we know each other....." "Do we know each other? Who are you trying to kid Sophia?" "Sophia? I'm sorry, but you must be mistaking me for someone else. I'm Loretta. Loretta Lavery." Sophia says extending her hand. A flabbergasted August takes it and shakes. "Augusta Lockridge" is all she's able to get out. "Nice to meet you Augusta. If you'll excuse me...." Sophia begins to walk out. Augusta realizes Lionel could see her and yells for her to wait, but it's too late. Augusta walks out of the ladies room and stops cold when she sees Lionel standing immediately outside the door. "You mind telling me what that was about?" Augusta plays dumb, asking what he's talking about. She's relieved that he's wondering how she's out of the ladies room so quick. "The line was so long.....I'll just hold it until we get home. Speaking of which, come on! We have traffic to beat!" She grabs his arm and runs him out of the theatre. (EXT: Edmund's castle) ---Sophia and Edmund arrive at home. She thanks him for such a lovely evening and he kisses her passionately. She suggests they go upstairs, telling him to go to the bedroom while she freshens up. Edmund walks into the room and is enchanted when he sees candles are lit throughout and there are rose pedeals covering their bed. He turns around and sees Sophia standing in a long blue silk negligee. "You like it?" "How did you do all this?" "I spoke with Christine before we left and had her set everything up. I wanted it to be perfect. You made today so special for me, I wanted tonight to be special for you." "Every night with you is special Loretta." She walks into his arms and passionately kisses him, removing his jacket and his vest. Their kissing grows more intense as she begins unbuttoning his shirt and leading him to the bed. They lay down on the bed and continue to kiss very passionately. Edmund stops for a second, running his thumb on her face and looking into her eyes. "Are you sure you're ready?" he asks. She smiles at him. She stands up at the side of her bed and removes the negligee. "I've been waiting for this for many years, Edmund. Don't make me wait another night." He grabs her and brings her close to him. He looks at her for a second and kisses her passionately on the lips, bringing her back down on the bed with him . The two of them kiss and careen on the bed as the camera fades to black. THE END................for now Nothing definite, but a second episode MAY be posted later tonight- I'll update the schedule sometime in the evening to let you know if it will air tonight or tomorrow.....

Don't miss this week's brand new episodes of RETURN TO SANTA BARBARA on SONBC.

I think Kristen Meadows played it perfectly as well, but when I said she might be coming back......A LOT of people were like "NOOOOO!" "Please Not Victoria.....at least, not Kristen Meadows!" Here's the link: Victoria Casting Call Comments I must disagree with you though- I can SO imagine Linda as Tori.

It doesn't sound dumb at all- if you didn't watch the first 2 years of SB or 'Generations' you probably wouldn't know her. The actress is Linda Gibboney, the original Gina on SB and formerly Jessica on Generations.

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!! No spoiling the fun- start at the beginning- NO JUMPING TO THE END!!! (EXT: The Capwell Hotel) ---Kelly directs the catering staff in the banquet room, instructing them that she wants everything just so for this dinner. Kelly explains that the entire Castillo and Capwell family are going to be there and, because of the solemn occasion, she doesn't want any problems for the family and as little disturbance as possible. They get to work setting up and she turns around and sees her husband standing there. "You're quite cute when you're bossy, you know that?" Ashton smiles "This is a surprise. I thought you weren't going to make it until later- that you had meetings." "I wrapped all of that up early- I think it's more important that I be here with my wife, don't you?" She smiles for the first time that day as Ashton kisses her. He asks if there's anything that he can do to help and she tells him she has everything covered. Ashton asks if she's going to wear what she has on, irritating her slightly. "I haven't exactly had time to primp myself- And for that matter, why should it matter to you what I have on?" "Cute when she's annoyed too. Actually, if you would've let me finish, I was going to tell you that my meeting was with your tailor- and she put the finishing touches on something I bought for you for this occasion. It's upstairs in the penthouse.." "Ashton, I couldn't possibly leave, Eden's expecting me and I want everything to go perfectly..." "Not to worry, my love, I'll handle all of that- you've been on your feet working on this all day. Go upstairs, take a nice hot shower and put on something brand new. I think it will do you a world of good." "How did I get so lucky? Where have you been all my life, Ashton Lavery?" "Waiting for you to show up." he answers, leaning in and kissing her again. She then heads upstairs, with her dress. (EXT: Plane flying Overhead) ---The pilot comes on over the loudspeaker and says they're making their descent into Santa Barbara. Mason looks at Mary, who's quietly fallen asleep by the window. He gently nudges her, telling her they're about to land. She sits up and fastens her seatbelt. Mason comments that she hasn't said anything all day- she was quiet over breakfast and has slept the entire flight. "What do you want me to say, Mason?" "Anything, really- what I can't handle is this silence I've gotten from you since last night. We made love, Mary. We need to talk about that." "We were both low last night, Mason. We'd been on a wild goose chase and we were leaving with not much more to go on than we had to begin with. And in our weakness, we comforted one another." "It was more than that and you know it." "You're married Mason- to Julia. You made a commitment to her, a lifetime commitment- what happened last night doesn't change that." "What are you talking about? It changes everything!" Mary tells him that she intends to continue to live her life without him. She informs him that she's going back to work at the clinic and she thinks it's best if they keep their distance for a while. Mason asks her where that leaves their investigation and she says that Pearl can handle it. Mason isn't fooled, telling her that the Mary he saw in Florida wouldn't give up so quickly, and certainly would want to handle Mark and Sherri personally. "Revenge has always been your forte, Mason. It's never been mine." "Maybe not before....but c'mon, after all the torture he's put you through- I can't imagine not wanting a little revenge....You're fooling yourself if you think you can walk away from this...and from me.....so easily..." "I've done it for 20 years Mason, what makes you think I can't now?" They are startled when the plane touches ground, having been so ensconced in their own conversation. (EXT: Angela's Condominium) ---Angela emerges from the master bathroom, still fastening her earrings. She looks in the mirror to make sure she looks just so. She looks at her watch and wonders where Ted could be. Ears ever-ringing, Ted picks that moment to come bursting through the door downstairs. "ANGELA?!? ANGELA!?!" "I'M UPSTAIRS GETTING READY" Ted charges up the stairs and tiptoes to the room, holding his hand behind his back. He smiles at his wife who's doing her best to be coy and ignore him. He steps directly in her personal space, bringing his face close up to hers. As she turns to her left to disconnect eye contact, he whips the a dozen yellow roses out with his right hand. "Yellow roses.... My favorite. They're beautiful...." "Not half as beautiful as you!" he says planting a passionate kiss on her, which she soon pulls away from. "I'm still mad at you- 12 yellow flowers aren't gonna make it up to me...." "Nothin happened between us. We're just friends, Angela..." "Then why didn't you just tell me you were with her?" Ted smiles and says that it wouldn't have been half as fun this way. Angela doesn't understand and he tells her he likes it when she's jealous- always has. "You mean you were just playing with me?" He looks away, feigning guilt. "It's not funny Ted! Do you have any idea what that little twit you were engaged to has been putting me through?" "Who, Lily? Why do you let her get to you babe?" "I don't know, she pushes my buttons...." "I was hoping I could push your buttons myself...." He begins hungrily devouring her. "Ted.....Ted.......We've got to go dinner, your sister's expecting us....." "She'll understand if we're let- We're newlyweds..." Ted begins devouring Angela's neck, causing her to moan with pleasure. After all the time she spent getting dressed, Ted has her dress on the floor in seconds flat. She carefully unbuttons his shirt and reaches to hang it on the bedpost. "What are you Doing? What's gotten into you? We don't have clean sex, wife or no wife" Ted says, tearing off his t-shirt. Angela quickly undoes his belt and tears his pants off of him before he literally throws her onto the bed, hurling himself on top of her. he kisses her passionately as the roll around in their beige Satin sheets. (EXT: The Capwell Hotel) ---Eden arrives at the banquet room with Adriana, wearing no makeup and a dour black pantsuit. Her eyes are swollen, as though she hasn't slept in days. Adriana, meanwhile, is done to the nines. Adriana comments that everything looks so beautiful. "Kelly's worked very hard to make sure everything's just right." Ashton says, emerging from the background. "And where is she Now?" Eden asks. "Upstairs, changing, she should be down any minute. I gave her a break with the staff." "How thoughtful of you." Eden says, sarcastically. "You'll have to excuse my mother, Mr Lavery. She's just upset...." "Don't speak for me, Adriana- I'm an adult and perfectly capable of communicating exactly how I feel when I say something." "It's alright, Adriana. I understand it's a rough time for all of you..." "And talking as if I'm not in the room certainly won't help matters!" Eden interjects. Before things get any worse, Kelly arrives at the banquet room and calls to Eden. Eden turns around and immediately begins to cry when she sees her sister. They walk up to each other and embrace, Kelly brushing Eden's hair gently. "You're gonna get through this darlin. We're all here for you, especially me." Eden continues to sob, describing to Kelly the scene she came upon in Mexico and trying to explain everything that happened beforehand. Kelly continues to stroke her sister's hair and tell her that everything's going to be alright. She's with her family now. Eden asks when the others are supposed to get there- Kelly explains that CC and Rafe have gone with the driver to pick up Rafael, Carm, and Carmen. Kelly also tells her that Ted's flight should have gotten in an hour ago and that Mason's should be arriving any minute. Eden asks about Julia, who arrives on cue with Samantha. Julia walks up to Eden and takes both of her hands in hers. "How you holding up....." "I'm doing my best, Julia, I'm trying...." Eden says as she again chokes back tears. Samantha embraces her cousin and tells her that if there's anything she needs, she can count on her. Adriana quietly whispers that what she needs is to get away from her mother for a little while. Samantha suggests she stay at their house tonight and Adriana leaps at the offer. Samantha asks where Chip is and Eden pipes up, wondering the same thing. Adriana tells her that she talked to Chip earlier in the day and he wasn't going to be able to leave until the morning. Eden asks why and Adriana explains that Victoria isn't up to making the trip and her nurse can't come stay with her until the morning. Eden is disappointed that the whole family will be there except for Cruz's son. She's distracted when everyone begins arriving- CC walking in first. "DADDY!" Eden says, her voice cracking as she walks up to him. "Princess." he responds, taking his eldest daughter in his arms. Behind him walk in Rosa, Rafe, Rafael, Carm, Ric, and Carmen. Eden is especially surprised to see Ric, who she didn't think was going to make it. "I was able to work it out at the last minute, thank God. I couldn't imagine being any place else." He kisses his sister-in-law on the cheek and immediately walks up to Kelly. He greets her with a light peck on the lips, surprising her. She introduces to her husband, Ashton. "Nice to meet you." Ashton says. Ric says nothing back. Mason, Ted, and Angela arrive, each greeting Eden and giving their condolences. The whole family is floored when Brandon walks in. Everyone is all smiles to see him, even on such a dour occasion. Brandon gives Eden a huge kiss and tells her he's so sorry about Cruz. Eden says that she's surprised that he made it, since he hasn't been back in town for quite some time. "Cruz helped raise me for a while there, and he was always a part of my life. I had to be here Eden. I couldn't let him pass without seeing you and making sure you were okay." "I appreciate that- my you're so grown up. I remember when you were just a little boy, running around playing hide and seek in the mansion........You look good, Brandon. And so much like your father..." The family begins taking their seats and the long rectangular table. They all sit down and Rosa leads everyone in a prayer for Cruz. She speaks beautifully about what a loving, giving, generous, and courageous man Cruz was before closing out with a prayer in Latin. Everyone begins eating their food. Eden looks over at Adriana, saying that she's disappointed that Chip wasn't able to make it in. Adriana says he had no other choice, he had to take care of his own mother. "He should be HERE! With us....." "Who should Be here?" A voice says from the corridor. Eden slowly gets up from her seat and sees her gorgeous SON!!! standing there. She begins to choke up and runs to the middle of the room to hug the son she and Cruz raised. She tells him that she's so happy he's there and comments that she didn't think he'd be able to make it. "I didn't think so either, but we worked it out..." "I'm so happy that you did. Kelly- can you have the service staff bring another setting? We're going to have 1 more for dinner..." "Actually, 2..." Chip says. "2? What are you talking abou-" She cuts herself off when she sees Victoria Lane wheel herself in in her electric wheelchair. "Hello Eden" she says. "Hello..........VICTORIA!!!!!!"

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!! (EXT: London, England- Heathrow Airport) ---Augusta drops her purse, her mouth gaping open as she watches Sophia and Edmund say their good-byes to Pamela. They begin to walk outside. She instructs her driver to quickly pull up the car, keeping an eye on Sophia & Edmund. The two of them pull of in their car. A few seconds later, Augusta's driver pulls up, getting out to put the bags in the trunk. He takes his time organizing them so they fit properly. "Oh, for heaven's sake, just throw them in there......we can't waste time!" she exclaims. The driver throws the rest of her bags in the trunk and slams it shut. He hops into the front seat and she commands him to catch up with Sophia's car. "Who's Sophia?" "Nevermind who Sophia is, just step on it!!" (EXT: Capwell Enterprises) ---Joann is startled to see Kirk Cranston sitting at her desk. She asks him what he's doing there and he smiles, silently taunting her. "I mean it Kirk, what are you doing here? If CC or Eden found you here....." "I don't think we have to worry about Eden coming into the office anytime soon, Joann. I thought you'd be happy to see me..." "Happy? Why would I possibly be happy to see you? Our relationship was over months ago- that, I couldn't be happier about.." Kirk agrees that she probably shouldn't be pleased to see him. He glances at the file she's still holding and asks her if she's impressed with his work. She retorts that it's more irritation than anything else. Kirk tells her she should be more than irritated. "Is that supposed to be some kind of threat?" she asks. "I don't know, Joann. You tell me. You really played me for a sucker, didn't you? Baiting me to go after Capwell Enterprises, using me and my connections to get you inside the door, all so you and Elizabeth could make your little power play. Did you really think I wouldn't find out?" "Again, I must ask, what is it that you want Kirk?" Kirk smiles that he doesn't want anything.......for now. He'll keep CC in the dark and she'll continue working at Capwell Enterprise, like normal. But there will come a time where he will need her to do something and when that time comes, she'd better do exactly as he says or he'll blow her out of the water. "I'm not afraid of you Kirk." Kirk stands up and grabs her by the arm. "Well you should be Joann. You definitely should be because I can and will destroy you, so I suggest you can this little spitfire routine you're giving me and start acting like a good little minion. I'll be in touch." He releases her and exits, leaving behind an upset Joann. (EXT: Santa Barbara District Attorney's Office) ---Elizabeth storms into the office demanding to see her husband. The secretary gives her a hard time, telling her that Keith is on a conference call and asked not to be disturbed. Elizabeth informs her that she doesn't care if he's on the phone with Sandra Day O'Connor, he's going to see her right now. "It's okay, Meredith, I'm through with my call- I'll see Mrs. Timmons." Elizabeth storms past him, shooting him the evil eye. "I like hearing you refer to me as your husband. Has a nice ring to it- My wife.....My husband...." "Ex-husband has a far nicer ring to it." "What flew up your Donna Karan?" Elizabeth informs him that she had an interesting chat with Kathleen earlier. She tells him that she knows that he listened in to her conversation with CC at the office and that Gina was the one who found the copy of the will. "You set me up, I don't believe you- you went to CC with all of this, knowing full well what he was going to do. You made him think that I told you about him willing the company to Channing IV and gave you a copy of the will. Why? Why the hell would you-" "Now wait just a minute. I did no such thing- yes, I went to CC about the will. Yes, I taunted him and got a rise out of him- it''s what I do..... But if he thought that you were behind it all, he came up with that idea all on his own." "You're saying you didn't? That you didn't even imply it." "That's what I'm saying. Look, Lizzie-Bit, I like you- I've liked you since the day I met you- I wouldn't do anything to make you look bad in front of the old man." "And why should I believe you?" Keith smiles his devilish grin and tells her he's her husband. She gives him an annoyed look. "If you can't believe that, believe this!" he says, grabbing her and pulling into a heated kiss. They break apart, leaving Elizabeth breathless. She tries to stay mad, though Keith's winning smile doesn't do her any favors in that department. She finally cracks a smile. "C'mon, let's get outta here. I want to take my wife to dinner." (EXT: The Lair) ---Rafe and Samantha arrive and take a seat at one of the tables. They order cocktails from their server. Samantha tells Rafe that if he doesn't feel up to being out, she'll understand and they can go home. Rafe insists that it's good for him to get his mind off of Cruz, if only for a little while. Samantha takes his hand, telling him that his brother was a fine man and a wonderful uncle. Her attention is redirected at Steve, who she sees across the room, drinking a beer with a friend. "Isn't that the guy that drove A to Mexico?" she asks Rafe. He turns around and spots Steve. "That's him..." Rafe picks up his drink and begins walking over to Steve, with Samantha following closely behind. He asks Steve if he remembers them, which he does. "What were you thinking up and leaving with my niece like that? She could've been hurt or killed- there were people after her, you know!" "Your niece has a mind of her own- she wanted to go, she was worried about her dad, so I took her. Period. And I made sure she was safe..." "I bet you did" Rafe replies "HEY!" Samantha interrupts. She directs her attention toward Steve. "You'll have to excuse Rafe, here. He's a bit of a worrywart. I'm Samantha Capwell, Adriana's cousin." "Nice to meet you. Steve. Steve Hall." Rafe is about to ask him some more questions when he's distracted by someone causing a ruckus at the bar. He looks to see who's causing the commotion and is surprised to see it's Lily. Lily yells at the bartender, insisting that she's fine to have another drink, that she's celebrating. Samantha rolls her eyes. "What's she celebrating? A lifetime of eternal loneliness of her own making?" Rafe ignores the comment and approaches his ex. "Lily, don't you think you've had enough?' "You're days of deciding what's enough for me are long over, ever since you KNOCKED UP THAT SLUT!" "Will you keep your voice down? You're making a scene!" "Get the HELL away from me and I will." "He's only trying to help you Lily. God knows why. C'mon Rafe. Leave her be. Don't choke on your next drink, Lily. May I suggest a shot of Everclear?" Samantha taunts as they walk away. Lily insists to the bartender that she's fine, but he doesn't see it that way. She demands to speak to the owner. The bartender says that it's fine by him, since he's the one who cut her off. A man taps on Lily's shoulder. THE OWNER "BRANDON!" Lily exclaims. "Hello sis!" (EXT: London- an outdoor cafe) ---Edmund and Sophia sit at a private table, enjoying their lunch. Augusta attempts to get the maitre'd to sit her nearby, but he informs her the entire area has been reserved for a private party. Augusta takes her seat, until he's out of site. She makes her way to the privated dining area, hiding behind a bush as she watches Sophia and Edmund. "I have something for you." he tells her. He takes a long rectangular shaped box out of his pocket and hands it to her. "Edmund, really, you've done so much already, this isn't necessary." "Nonsense, quite the contrary- I couldn't do enough for you my sweet Loretta." She smiles back at him and begins unwrapping the box. "Loretta?!?" Augusta whispers under her breath. Sophia's face lights up when she opens the box and it's a gorgeous sapphire and diamond necklace. She marvels that it's so beautiful, but too much. Edmund says it's not nearly as beautiful as she is and wraps the necklace around her neck. He tells her that he has something else for her as well and hands her an envelope. Intrigued, she opens it up and is delighted to see there are two tickets to the theatre inside. "You always loved going to the theatre." "I do, I do. And it's a production of 'I Hate Hamlet.' " "Yes, it's a small touring company. They're performing it in the States in May, but doing a short run here in London first. A good friend of mine is the lead." ( ) Edmund tells her that after lunch, he's instructed the driver to take her to meet Christine at a local boutique to pick out a dress for the occasion, while he picks up his tuxedo. He tells her that he'll be by to pick her up at 6 PM sharp. Sophia is thrilled with all of the attention and tells Edmund that he's the best thing that ever happened to her. She smiles and leans in and kisses him. Augusta cannot believe her eyes, and scurries out of the private area. She bumps into the maitre'd. "I told you that you couldn't go back there." "Yes and I should have listened to you- but now that I have, I have no appetite to speak of." She walks out toward her car and dials her phone. "Lionel!...........Awful. I'll never fly that airline again. They lost one of my bags and the employees couldn't have been ruder........Listen.......I wasn't being difficult, will you shut up and listen to me? How would you like to see a show tonight?" THE END........................FOR TODAY

Ooooh, I like the Britney Snow idea. With all the GL gals I mentioned, you'd think I would've thought of her!

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!! (EXT: LONDON, ENGLAND) ---Edmund wakes up in bed and sees Sophia sleeping peacefully next to him. He gently brushes her hair out of her face, causing her to twitch and flutter her eyes. She is pleases to wake up to the site of her husband staring adoringly at her. "Good Morning, my love." He leans in and softly pecks her on the lips. She smiles back and asks him if he slept alright, which he assures her he did. She smiles and leans in to kiss him again. As the kiss gets more passionate, Edmund pulls back and rises up out of bed, opening the drapes. "Why do you do that?" she asks him, rising up out of the bed. "Do what?" "Pull away from me like that. Every time we've gotten intimate since I woke up, you've..." "Yes, I know, but please, don't read into that. I just want everything to be........perfect, both for you and I. I just want to be sure that we're both ready." "I'm certainly ready. It's been a while, you know.......Of course you know, what am I saying? This must have been torture for you." "You don't know the half of it," he smiles as she puts her arms around him and plants another kiss on him. He again pulls away from her. "You've got to get dressed. I have a full day planned for us..." "Oh you do?" "Yes, yes, after we ride Addie to the Heathrow, I'm taking you to this....well, it must be a surprise........I thought it time that you get out of this stuffy old castle, no?" She smiles and is thrilled by the prospect of spending the day with her husband. He calls to Christine and has her take "Loretta" to find something to wear. Christine smiles that she'd be happy to and walks Sophia down the corridor to her former dressing room. Sophia is overcome by the way the room is made up. "My God!" Sophia exclaims. "What? What is it Mrs. L?" "It's exactly like the dressing room he had for me in our home in Santa Barbara." "I know- isn't it remarkable? It was one of the first things Dr. L did when he bought the castle. Nobody, including myself, has been allowed inside since the renovations......well, until you started comin out of your coma Mrs. L. Then we all had to help fill the closet.....as you can see..." Sophia smiles. "I owe him so much- just look at this! It's spectacular." She begins rummaging through the clothes. "Don't just stand there, Christine, I'm going to make this a day Dr. Lavery will never forget- so let's find something that will knock his socks off, shall we?" "You're the boss Mrs. L!" (EXT: The Ramirez House) ---Marta is angered by Eden's threats against her father. "You B!tch! You're not doing ANYTHING to my father, especially after all he's done for the SBPD...." "All he's done? What he's done, little girl, is make sure that their finest officer was killed mercilessly. And I want to know WHY. Why? Why did you do it Angel? After all Cruz was doing to help you- getting you out of jail, helping find your daughter- how could you set him up like that? How could you?" Angel tells Eden to calm down and invites her to come inside to talk. Eden is only further enraged that he's telling her to calm down after what he did to Cruz. Angel explains that he didn't have any other choice- and that if she'll listen, maybe she'll be able to understand that. "I doubt that. But talk- I'd certainly like to hear what you have to say for yourself." Angel, Carla, Marta, and Eden walk inside the house and sit down around the kitchen table. Carla puts on a pot of coffee as Angel tells Eden the truth, explaining that Adriana was the intended kidnapping victim. Marta steps in, verifying that, and telling Eden how she was treated at first. She throws it in her face that the only reason that she ended up kidnapped is because she saved Adriana. When the men realized their mistake, she thought that they'd let her go, but they wouldn't hear of it. She says that they were going to kill her, so when she heard them talking about Cruz, she spoke up about Angel's investigation. "Which would explain how they got their cover story- right from the horse's mouth!" Eden muses. "What could I do? They were going to kill me Eden, and then come after your daughter. I had to do something...." Angel continues, explaining that the kidnappers let him in on the secret, telling him that the only way his daughter was going to live was if he followed their instructions completely. Marta interjects that she had no idea that anything like that was discussed. "You had no idea? This is the first I'm hearing of any of it- why wouldn't you confide in me mijo? How could you leave me in the dark when our daughter's life was at risk?" "Because I knew you wouldn't go along with it- that you'd try to stop me or think of another way." "And what does that tell you Angel?" Eden asks "If your own wife wouldn't approve of what you're doing....." she shakes her head in frustration. "Yes, yes, I know, I went over it in my head a thousand times, but these guys.....I knew they meant business. They had no use for Marta and this was the only way to make her useful to them. If we didn't go along with it....." "You could have told Cruz- You should have told him. He could have helped you- you guys could have saved Marta and-" Angel cuts her off, telling her that was impossible. Marta was not to be released until Cruz was at the marina. He explains that he was forced to mislead the police- because if there was any trace of them at the marina with Cruz, Marta would have been executed; he comments that those were the exact words they use. He says that as things progressed with Cruz, he began to feel guilty, which is why he gave Santana the correct map. Eden says that Santana told her that he gave her both maps, but he explains that he had handed her the right one, but she second-guessed him when she found the decoy map as well. Angel insists that he didn't think that Cruz was going to be killed. "Oh, come ON, Angel, what else did you think they were going to do to him?" "I don't know- kidnap him, rough him up, negotiate with him- honestly, I never thought that he'd end up dead...." "But he did end up dead, didn't he? And you didn't do a damn thing to stop it- not that you didn't have the opportunity. You CHOSE not to help him and for that, I'm gonna make you pay!" Marta interrupts her, telling her that Angel felt awful- so much so, that they turned around and headed for the marina. She says that he was devastated when they saw the scene- the exploded boat, firetrucks, cops, rescue workers. They took up in a hotel and when they got definite word that Cruz was the man who was killed, they went to the investigators in Mexico and told them everything they knew- just this morning, in fact. Eden asks why Angel isn't under arrest then and he explains that he told the authorities that he didn't know the map that he was giving them was a decoy, having never seen the map that Cruz had given him. Angel begs Eden not to say anything. She ignores him and begins to walk out. "Eden- Eden, WAIT! What are you gonna do? Please, I'm begging you...." "It's going to take more than begging to make up for what you've done to me. Why don't you beg Cruz? He's the one you helped MURDER!" She gets in her car and hurries off, leaving a nervous Ramirez family in her wake. (EXT: Plane flying overhead) ----Augusta sits on her flight, reading a magazine article. The pilot comes on the speaker, saying that they're making their descent into Heathrow. The flight attendants walk down the aisles, making sure everyone is buckled in. They stop at Augusta's row, in first class. "Mrs. Lockridge" "Yes?" "I'm sorry to bother you ma'am, but the captain is about to land. All seats must be in the upright position." "I have a back condition and it's bothering me terribly. Couldn't you make an exception?" "I'm sorry ma'am, but we're landing. All seats must be upright, no exceptions...." "It's a matter of two inches...(she squints to read her nametag) Tracy ( ) I really don't see why you're making such a fuss." "I'm not the one making a fuss Mrs Lockridge. I'm simply doing my job..." "You do many things simply, don't you Tracy? Simple hairdo, simple outfit, simple occupation, simple vocabulary..." "Simple solution." she leans down and presses the button on Augusta's chair, catapulting her upright. "See you on the ground Mrs Lockridge" she says as she takes her seat, leaving an annoyed Augusta behind. "That girl's probably never been in an upright position in her life!" FLASH TO ---Edmund, Pamela and Sophia arrive at the airport. Sophia is wearing an ice pink sleaveless sundress, smiling arrogantly at Pamela. The driver takes Pamela's bags to check-in and Edmund offers to walk her in. Pamela says that she'll be fine, but Sophia gets out of the car and insists on it, saying that they'll both see her off. Edmund tells Sophia that it isn't necessary that they both go, but Sophia won't have it. "That's alright Edmund. I'm happy to see your friend Addie off..." "Thank you Loretta. I must say, you're looking especially lovely today. Special occassion?" "Yes, actually. My wonderful husband here has an entire day planned for us, isn't that right dear?" Edmund nods and Sophia gives Pamela a confidant smile. "That should be just lovely," Pamela says, as they walk toward the door, "I couldn't be happier for the both of you, I truly do mean that Loretta. I know we may have gotten off on the wrong foot, but after seeing how happy you've made Edmund and the joy you've brought to his life.......well, if Edmund's happy, then I'm happy for him. I do hope that someday we might become friends..." "Perhaps" Sophia replies curtly. FLASH TO ---Augusta at baggage claim with her driver. She is annoyed when the cart stops rotating before one of her bags has arrived. She asks the attendant if the machine is stuck, but he informs her that all of the luggage from her flight has been unloaded. She tells him that's not possible because one of her bags is missing. "Believe me, it's not only possible, it's reality. What's possible is that your bag got lost. Take it up at the counter." "What is it with the people that work with this airline? Don't they teach you how to treat your customers?" "Yeah, lady, they teach us, only they don't tell us that we're going to have to deal with 100s of people like you every day. Good luck findin your bag. Have a nice day. " An annoyed Augusta heads up toward the information counter. When she reaches the apex of the escalator, she glances to her left and is stunned by what she sees- There, in the flesh, is her nemesis Sophia Capwell- alive and well. She looks at who she's with and is stunned when she sees Pamela and Dr. Lavery. "My God- it can't be.....Sophia? What's she doing with Edmund Lavery?" THE END.....................for TODAY

According to IMDB, Onasch was born February 10, 1982. So she's a bit older than 18 but could possibly pass. I don't know though....with the age you're going for... Crystal Hunt (ex-Lizzie, GL) might be good as well. She's born Feb 5, 1985 so she's closer to the right age. Also, Alison Hirschlag, whom I mentioned, was born July 8, 1984, so she's not too far away in age either. Lastly, if you're only making her 18, how about considering btinging Carly Schroeder back? She's born October 18, 1990, so she's 16 now and will be 17 by year-end. Wouldn't be that much of a stretch for her to play 18.

Dunphy would be great as Serena. Stephanie Gatschet could be good too......and with Passions going off the air, you could throw Emily Harper into the mix. Allison Hirschlag (ex-Lizzie, GL/Julie Barr's daughter) might be worth looking at as well. And, though she's more strawberry blonde than blonde, I always liked Kim Onasch as Jennifer on ATWT.

Nice pacing. I like how a lot of characters played their part in this tragedy- Maxie by drugging Lucas, Bobbie by hitting Brandon, Noah by covering for Bobbie, Lucas for his lack of self-control (even if he was drugged), Dillon for crossing the line with Lucas.........the list goes on & on. Excellent storytelling. And Mac was being so sweet today.........liked it when Mac was a sweet guy (when was that again? 1994?). Who knew GH could keep me entertained?

Poor Brandon is right- what a horrible way to go.....betrayed by the one you love only to be hit by a drunk driver! I personally never could stand Bobbie so I hope Mac locks her up and throws away the key. As for Noah.......SHE AIN'T WORTH IT HOMEY! The red-headed slut should pay for her mistakes. I only hope that Tiffany is there to see what a mess she's made of Lucas's life and ensure that she pays for what she's done. I know, I know- I'm kind of a one-trick pony with GH. GREAT EPISODE Ryan and team! Way to kick off the new arc!

This is ONE occasion where you can go ahead & build yourself up for it. It's THAT good!

RTSB ADDS TWO HUNKS, LOSES 1 It's OFFICIAL! The roles of Brandon Capwell and Chip Castillo have been cast! This week, RTSB welcomes Justin Hartley (ex-Fox, PSNS) as Brandon and Jay Hernandez (Six Degrees/ Crazy/Beautiful) as Chip Castillo. Though both are returning to town for Cruz's funeral, there's a bit of mystery surrounding each character.............like where the hell have they been? "Chip has been taking care of his mother, Victoria Lane, who has been recovering from a terrible car accident," says juniorz, RTSB's creator & exec producer, "Victoria will be back for the funeral as well, but her casting is being kept under wraps until her debut." This is not the first primetime/film star that has taken a role on RTSB recently- Jared Leto also recently began appearing as the mysterious Steve Hall last month. For now, however, it's been revealed that the plans for Chip are short-term at the moment, though that could change down the line. Hernandez and the new Victoria Lane debut on Wednesday, March 21. Both roles are recurring. So what's the story with Brandon? Last we saw, he was a sweet pre-teen boy, loving and accepting of his family and friends without question. Any chance that's who we're getting back this time around? "Brandon's done a lot of growing up. He has recently come into a considerable amount of money, since he turned 25," states juniorz, "He's grown into quite a different man than he was a boy. It's going to be deja vous at the Capwell house, as though Channing Jr. has come back from the grave. I'm really excited to start writing for him and glad that I held off bringing him on until now. The more I thought about the character, the more ideas I was able to come up with for story. Channing's presence was one that was always felt on SB (er, real-SB anyway) and I think it's about time that presence was felt on RTSB." No specifics were available at this time about Hartley's premiere date, other than it is sometime this week. Mr. Hartley has been placed on contract status, effective immediately (see updated cast list). In other news, as what probably will come as no surprise to readers, Matt Cedeno is OUT as Rafe Castillo. Though Rafe was prominently featured in early episodes, we haven't seen too much of him of late, as his story sort of fizzled out. "It's no secret that I changed course with Lily when RTSB started. Unfortunately, a consequence of that was Rafe's storyline went out the window. I wasn't overly pleased with the Rafe/Samantha pairing so I backburnered it. There's lots of story planned for the series, but Rafe doesn't fit in too much with that. That's not to speak ill of Matt Cedeno or his portrayal, which I was quite happy with. But the character just doesn't work. Truly, he never did......" Expect Cedeno to stick around for another couple of weeks. He's set to last appear in late March/early April. Make sure you check out Return to Santa Barbara THIS WEEK for Hernandez & Hartley's debuts. And, of course, the NEW Victoria Lane......

1) In this blog, what couples are your favorite? Scott & Alexis, Sonny & Brenda 2) What character or characters would you like to see more of? Of course, I'm a Tiffany Hill fan first, so I'd like more of her. Also, some more of Tracy, Lucy, and Ric wouldn't hurt. Other than that, you feature most of the characters I really like. 3) What characters should I cut my losses with and move them to other storylines or even write them off the blog? I never formed any sort of attachment to Justus, so I wouldn't mind seeing him go. Georgie & Ned are a couple others I personally don't care for. 4) With Sam McCall back as a full Cassadine, where would you like to see her go from here? Do you want to see her as a bad girl or as a victim? I want Sam McCall to be the badass b!tch she always should've been. Certainly don't want to see her as a victim... 5) One of my focuses was to incorparate the Quartermaines and the veterans more. Am I acheiving this goal? If not, what would you like to see? Yes. The Quartermaines have always been supporting and I feel that that's how you write them, which is far better than the window-dressing Guza uses them as. We see Laura regularly, Mac, and Bobbie, all of which are ignored on the show. So I think you're doing a fine job of incorporating the Qs and the vets. 6) The main storylines going forward for the next few months will be the Spencers/Cassadines, Brenda and Ned's custody fight, Robin/Patrick/Sarah/AJ, the breakup of Lucky and Liz and Alan's rehabiliatation. The umbrella storyline that will incorparate most of the characters will be the Spencers/Cassadine. What storyline is your favorite and what is your least favorite. My favorite has been the custody battle and everything Brenda. You have a real knack for writing her, and she was always one of my favorites. I also am enjoying the Alan storyline and the fallout from the Lucky/Liz breakup, especially that Liz is finally being knocked off her pedestal. 7) Any characters that you would like to see fall in love or lust? I think an Alexis/Scotty/Tracy triangle would be a lot of fun. Add Jax to that mix & we could really have some fun. I've also always thought that Ric/Carly would be an interesting pair, especially since it would make Sonny's blood boil. Finally, I'm in the minority, but I've always wanted Jason/Carly to get back together, so I'd definitely be interested to see that. 8) If you have any storylines that you would like to pitch, let me know, I may use them with your permission. In other words, what would you like to see happen? Tell me what you like in general and what you dislike in general. Hmmm, I'll have to think about this one, but anything that I mentioned above would be fun! I think you have great ideas Tishy, so it's fun to kinda just go along for the ride & see where you take us! Keep up the good work.

Patrick is a NASCAR fan? Well, I used to think he was cute! Loved Brenda & Robin talking about Carly. Can't wait to see Brenda & Carly really go at it, especially with Brown back in the role.

Really enjoyed it Dusty (yes I know- WAY late to the party! ) I love that you addressed the Mike/Lily kiss and LOVED psycho Dana. And that last scene.............. Amazing ending to one of my favorite SONBC blogs! I know my viewership has been sporadic of late, but anytime I check in, it's always enjoyable. I'm going to miss it.

Excellent episode- could feel the impending doom from the beginning. Though I knew it was coming, I couldn't look away. Hope Dillon getting his jollies was worth all this!

Wowzas! Great episode! Looking forward to reading the next one, the ending to the arc. And Dillon & Lucas...........fire. Red-hot. ESPECIALLY with Justin Bruening & John-Paul Lavoisier in the roles. :wub:

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!!! (EXT: The Ramirez House) ----Carla tries to insist to Eden that Angel & Marta haven't come home yet, but she doesn't buy it. She storms past Carla, calling for Angel & Marta, opening the doors to each and every room looking for them. "They're not here, Eden. I don't appreciate you tearing through my home, disrespecting it and me. Now I told you they aren't here....." "If they're not here, then where are they Carla? Because I'm not leaving here until I have some answers!" "Please, will you just calm down? I told you, they are not here- they haven't even been home from Mexico yet...." "Why not? I know she's safe and sound, Carla, so where ARE they? Running.....from me? I know what he did, Carla. I know about the maps. I know that Angel was probably in cahoots with these guys from the beginning. How could you let-" "YOU know NO SUCH THING! How dare you accuse him of something like that- we were worried SICK about Marta. I didn't know if my baby was dead, brutalized, raped.......you can't imagine the thoughts that have entered both of our minds. And for you to come here, hurling these accusations, as if he or I knew something or had something to do with our own daughter's kidnapping is..........Look, I know you're upset right now. I read about Cruz and I'm sorry for your loss. But that doesn't give you the right to come here and harass me or my family. Now I'd like you to leave..." "UPSET? Don't tell me about accusations Carla- your husband participated in this, deliberately confusing the police, myself.....Cruz could have been saved, he could have lived had Angel, for ONCE in his life, done the right thing. Cruz was helping him- helped him get out of prison early, was helping him try to put his life together- he was doing nothing but good for Angel and helping him rebuild his life..." "Which Cruz destroyed..." Eden doesn't let that pass, telling Carla that Angel made his own choices and chose a life of crime. She reminds her that Angel wasn't so innocent, dealing drugs, holding up the clinic- he was anything but honorable...until prison reformed him. Or at least they thought it had. Eden agrees to leave, but warns Carla that she'll be back. They head to the door and as they walk out, they see Angel and Marta pulling into the driveway. "Well look who got home..." Eden says to a worried Carla. (EXT: New York City- La Guardia Airport) ---Ted is annoyed when he & Laken arrive at the airport and sees that his flight has been delayed. She suggests they grab some lunch in the airport restaurant. He mentions that a beer would do his nerves some good. They sit down at the table and order drinks. Laken comments that she never realized that he was so afraid to fly. Ted says it's more of a patience issue- he's ready to get back home. "I suppose you would be quite anxious to get home, what with everything that's going on...." a familiar voice says from behind a newspaper. "MOTHER!?" Augusta lowers the newspaper & reveals her face. "Surprise!" Laken asks what she's doing there and she tells her daughter she's there for what was supposed to be a short layover from her trip to Chicago. Instead, thanks to all of the delays, she's spending 1/2 a day in the airport. Laken asks why she didn't call & Augusta says she tried, but got Laken's voice mail. She sits down, asking what exactly the two of them are doing in New York. Laken explains the situation, but Ted interjects, asking Augusta what she meant by 'everything that's going on'. "You haven't heard? I'm surprised nobody's told you...." "Told me what, Augusta?" "You may as well know- Cruz, you're brother-in-law- he was killed in Mexico a few days ago. They received confirmation it was him, just the other night...." "Oh my God. I've got to call Eden- why wouldn't anyone tell me!?! .... Excuse me...." He gets up and excuses himself from the table. Laken lays into Augusta, telling her she knows what she's doing. "Good heavens, Laken, his brother-in-law died.......he should know...." "And you were just dying to tell him, weren't you? Honestly, I would have thought that after grandmother died, this feud between the Lockridges and the Capwells would have died with her. But you and dad, hell even Warren- all of you just insist on perpetuating it, don't you?" "Honestly Laken, you're overreacting. There were no sinister alterior motives behind my telling Ted. I can't believe you'd think me so cold as to think I'd use Cruz's death to cause disruption in the Capwell family....." "Are you kidding mother? You wrote the book- daddy and you both. Whatever feud you guys want to have, if you want to continue acting like the Capulets and the Montagues, you all go right ahead. But leave me out of it. I have no desire to be part of any more tragedies that this feud is sure to cause!" Laken gets up from the table as Ted's walking back. He asks where she's going and she tells him she suddenly isn't hungry. He looks at Augusta, then walks away with Laken. Augusta goes back to her newspaper and begins to laugh. "Sophia as Lady Capulet?!?!" she laughs. Over the speaker, a man announces that the flight for London, England is now boarding. She pays her bill and heads toward her gate. (EXT: Capwell Enterprises) ---Elizabeth and Joann go over the latest figures for the company. Joann laughs that she can't believe that Elizabeth is married to Keith Timmons. Joann warns Elizabeth to be careful of Keith, telling her of Keith & Gina's investigation into who CC willed the company to. Elizabeth asks Joann what she's talking about, and Joann explains to her that Keith was fishing around shortly after the takeover, trying to find out exactly what Elizabeth's stipulations were. Joann tells her that she was very coy with Keith, but he was obviously curious. "What exactly did you tell him Joann?" "You have to understand, I was in a precarious position- he was going to go to CC about my involvement with Kirk, which, even though my true loyalties were with you, would still probably cause me to be fired or worse. And it would've looked suspicious at the time for you to keep me......so I told him what I knew.....or at least, what I thought was safe for him to know, which that the contract you two entered into had.....stipulations..." "But you didn't give him a copy of the contract or the will?" "No, absolutely not. I thought he could find those things out on his own...." Elizabeth immediately buzzes Kathleen into the office. She asks her if she's seen any suspicious behavior from Keith or Gina.... "They're behavior is always strange, Ms. Wayne....." Elizabeth asks specifically, telling her to think back to a little over a month ago. Kathleen remembers letting Keith man the phones one day, after he tricked her into going to another floor for CC. Elizabeth asks if there's anything else- and it dawns on Kathleen that she saw Gina snooping around the office late one night, acting very suspiciously. She remembers thinking it odd because she's never seen Gina in the building at that hour. Elizabeth asks her if she can remember exactly when it was and she does right away- it was the night before Ashton & Kelly's wedding reception. "That little weasel...." "What, Elizabeth? What's wrong?" "What's wrong? He set me up, that's what's wrong......He pressed CC's buttons, knowing exactly what would happen- Why would he DO such a thing? That man- that SNAKE!" Elizabeth storms out of the office, leaving a baffled Joann & Kathleen behind. (EXT: The Ramirez House) ---Angel and Marta get out of the car, and Carla runs to her daughter. They have a tearful reunion, with Carla kissing her on the forehead over and over, then hugging her husband. Angel looks up and sees Eden standing there. "Eden!" "Hello Angel, Marta- Welcome Home. (sarcastically) It must have been so awful being taken away from your family like that, huh?" "It was. But thanks to my dad............and your husband, everything turned out ok...." "For you maybe, but meanwhile, the two of you exchanged MY husband's life for your own..." "I don't-" Marta starts to say. "Don't you dare, don't you dare try and tell me that you don't know what I'm talking about. I wasn't born yesterday. Did you really think I wouldn't be able to piece it together? That I wouldn't try? After my husband DIED?........ If I were YOU, Marta, I'd enjoy this little reunion you're having right now. Because I'm going to make sure your lying father there doesn't see the light of day ever again!" (EXT: Capwell Enterprises) ---Joann walks back into her office, shutting the door behind her. She pours herself a cup of coffee and notices a new file has appeared on her desk. She picks it up and opens it, finding a form letter addressed to the board of directors. She reads it out loud, as it outlines all of her wrongdoing, including helping Elizabeth. "What is this? Who would DO this? Who put this here?" She crosses to her phone and dials Kathleen, asking if she's seen anyone come out of her office. Kathleen insists that she hasn't. Joann thanks her and hangs up the phone, nervously staring at the paper, wondering who could be blackmailing her. She hears a light snicker and looks up, realizing for the first time that the chair at her desk is turned backwards. Slowly, it turns around, revealing the man in the chair....... Man in the Chair "Oh my God!" "Honey, I'm home!" THE END...............FOR the WEEK!!
