http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!! (EXT: London, England) ---Edmund, Pamela, and Sophia finish up the steak course of their meal. Sophia asks Edmund if his steak was cooked right for him and he insists everything was fantastic. Pamela remarks that "Loretta" seems to cater to Edmund's every whim. "He's my husband, Addie. I haven't been able to take care of him like this for some time- he, in fact, has been the one taking care of me, day in and day out. He saved my life and I'm going to spend the rest of it thanking him for it..." Sophia says firmly. "Such a remarkable story......and for it to end this way...." "It's not the end, Addie. Quite the contrary- this is the beginning for Edmund and I. Actually, I'm hoping that tonight will be the beginning of a whole new chapter in our relationship and our marriage." Edmund smiles at her. "Every day, every night, is going to be like a new beginning my love." He reaches out and takes Sophia's hand in his. Pamela, sitting directly across from Sophia, becomes uncomfortable and starts talking about how delicious the entire meal was. She says she can't eat another bite and Edmund & Sophia concur. Christine enters the room and begins clearing everyone's plates. "Everything was just delicious, Christine." Pamela says, handing her plate to her. "I'm so glad that you enjoyed it Mrs. C" Christine finishes clearing everyone's plates and heads out of the room. Pamela comments how all of the food has made her ready for bed. She says she should retreat to her hotel but Sophia insists she stay with them. Pamela tries to get out of it, but Sophia is adamant, mentioning they haven't even had dessert. "Ms. Lowell seems tired, Loretta. Besides, I thought you'd want us to be alone tonight..... It was so wonderful to see you again Addie...." "Wait just a minute" Sophia interrupts "I'm curious- when we were introduced, you said your name was Addie Lowell, correct?" "That's right." Pamela responds. "Why do you ask?" "I was just wondering why then, if your name is Addie Lowell, does Christine keep referring to you as Mrs. C?..." (EXT: New York City, New York) ---Ted and Laken sit at dinner, Laken in a stunning red dress. She eats her food, while Ted seems to be just picking around his. "What is this- Ted Capwell without an appetite? Something must be wrong for you not to be eating..." "Filled up on appetizers?" "We didn't have appetizers...." Ted cracks a smile which pleases her, but she still presses him to tell her what's going on. Ted tells her about his phone call with Angela earlier and how she heard Laken in his suite not once, but twice. Laken asks if he was upfront about spending time with her, but isn't surprised when he says he tried to avoid the subject altogether. "No wonder she's upset! We used to date, she barely knows me..... And you lie not once, but twice about meeting with an ex-girlfriend? Of course her radar is going to go off, and she's going to hit the roof!" Ted starts to crack a smile. Laken gives him a knowing look, and the smile cracks wide open across his face. "Oh my God. Ted Capwell, you JERK!" Ted picks up his fork and begins stuffing his mouth with food. "What? What I do?" "Don't play games with me- You WANTED her to be jealous! You're pushing her buttons on purpose!" He smiles again. "I can't believe you!" He says it's not completely like that- he was distant from her after his mother died, which caused him to do a lot of thinking. But he insists the trip to New York has been the best thing for him and their marriage. He says he's realized that he's more in love with his wife than ever. "Then why play these games Ted?" "You don't really understand mine & Angela's relationship, Laken. It's.........different from ours. These little fights, jealousies, games- they're what makes us work........ And when she's jealous or mad.......Let's just say it brings in my inner tigerrr" "Ok, ok, that's enough. Well I happen to think Angela is a very lucky woman.......then again......." She looks at Ted as he puts huge chunk of lamb in his mouth. (EXT: The Lair) ----Angela finishes off a martini and orders herself another. Warren comments that she probably doesn't need any more to drink, but she insists that she's fine. He tells her she's not fine to drive and he'll be taking her home, no arguments. "Ok, fine- no agumens.....Scuse me, I gotta powder my nose..." Angela excuses herself and Lily seizes the opportunity to talk with Warren. Gina asks Lily why she'd want to talk to Warren and she tells her that she's distracting Warren while Gina works on Angela. Lily approaches Warren and asks him how everything's going. He's surprised to see her there and offers to buy her a drink. She accepts and takes a seat on the stool next to him. ---Meanwhile, Gina finds Angela in the ladies room, fixing her hair in the mirror, barely able to stand up. Gina taunts her, asking her how Ted is doing. "Why don't you worry about yourshelf Geeena. My husband doesn't need a leash..." "Yet he's gone to New York City and here you are- DRUNK as Judy Garland at a junket. It's only been a few days, Angela, what could he possibly have.........Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh, that's right- Laken Lockridge lives in New York, doesn't she?" Angela stares back at her, fading out. She tries to say something but Gina overpowers her. "Yes, I'd forgotten she lived there- She was my stepdaughter once, you know. Beautiful, classy girl. I remember when I first moved to Santa Barbara, they were hot & heavy. Santa Barbara's very own Romeo and Julie. I used to envy the way he looked at her, wishing his father looked at me like that. A love, a connection like that.....it doesn't go away easily.... Angela goes to slap Gina but Gina catches her hand. "GO Ahead and TRY it Angela. I dare you. I'd flatten you you worthless tramp.....but why bother? It's not going to compare to the pain you feel when Ted tells you that he's leaving you for Laken Lockridge, the love of HIS LIFE!" Gina throws her back and walks out of the ladies room. Lily spots her leaving, thanks Warren for the drink, and takes off to meet her outside. Lily asks how it went and Gina tells her how badly rattled Angela was. ---Inside, Angela returns to the bar. Warren can see she looks desheveled and asks her what's wrong. She says that she ran into Gina in the ladies room and it dawns on Warren why Lily paid him a visit. Angela is furious when she finds out Lily was there as well and says she's ready to leave. Warren pays the bill and they head to the car, with Lily spying on them in the parking lot. (EXT: West Palm Beach, FL- Maureen's Hotel Room) ---Mason strides past both ladies into the room and takes a seat. He looks at both Mary and Maureen. "Mason, I told you to please wait downstairs in the bar for me......" "Oh, I've been there Mary, it case you couldn't tell. But I wasn't going to leave you alone for too long with her- especially after what's happened......Why am I explaining myself? Let's cut to the chase- Where the hell is your son? And don't you even try and tell me that you don't know....." "MASON!" Mary admonishes. Maureen tells her that it's quite alright, she doesn't think Mason is out of line in the least. Mason says how noble that is of her to point that out, considering she obviously knew that Mary was in a coma, knew that Mark was setting him up, and didn't do a thing to stop any of it. "You're right- I didn't. God help me, I didn't. He's my son. He may be a monster or a sociopath or a rapist or any one of those ugly things that you may think of him- with every reason. But to me, he's my son. And I love him, and wanted to protect him." "And what about OUR child? Mine and Mary's! Who was protecting our baby girl? MARK!?!" "I'm sorry, your child? I thought the baby was Mark's......" Maureen wonders. "That's what we all thought, Maureen. But your son, YOUR son............the baby was born fully developed. She was not premature, as she would have been had Mark been the father...." "May I ask how you know this?" she asks. "How WE KNOW.......How We......What does it matter HOW we know, WE KNOW, Maureen. And you seem to know too, maybe more than we do...." "I'm sorry. I just didn't see how you would have learned all of that, is all. Honestly, that's the first I've heard of any of those things.." "Mason hired a P.I., Maureen, who tracked down nurses that cared for me at the clinic. One of them led us to a nurse here, in West Palm Beach...." "Oh, so she has gotten to you, no wonder...." "What do you mean she's gotten to us?" Mason asks "You mean you know Sh-" "Nurse Sherri Rhodes? Yes I know her- all too well. She's Mark's WIFE!" Mason and Mary look at each other, stunned by the revelation. (EXT: London, England) ---Sophia stares Pamela down, insisting that her question be answered. Pamela responds that she recently went back to using her maiden name, Lowell, after years of being Addie Conrad. She explains that her husband died many years ago and it was time to free herself completely. "And why did you feel the need to do that exactly?" Sophia asks. "Excuse Me?" Pamela asks. "Oh don't play innocent with me. You think I haven't been watching you since you arrived? Your stares at Edmund- the looks you've been giving him? Not to mention your level of familiarity with my housekeeper. That's why you've been hammering at me with all of these questions- you were after my husband! You were hoping that I would DIE in that coma so you could sink your claws into him. Isn't that right Ms. Lowell?" Pamela smiles at her long-time, now-brainwashed rival. "Oh I wanted your husband, Loretta. Make no mistake about that." Pamela lights up, noting the irony of what she's saying. "And if I wanted him right now, I could have him. Without question, without hesitation. At the snap of a finger, really. So if I were you, I'd watch your step with me...." "You cold, callous Bit-" "DESSERT!!!" Christine announces, entering with cake. THE END.................FOR TODAY....................don't miss the final part of this arc TOMORROW!!!!!

You'll know when Victoria debuts, likely next Wednesday!

MEADOWS BALKS!!!!!! In what came as quite a shock to executive producer/creator juniorZ, Kristen Meadows declined an offer to join Return to Santa Barbara for a short stint. What was the breaking point? Word around town is that Ms. Meadows reps were more interested in her taking the role than she was. While Meadows loved the cast and crew, she's the first to admit that she didn't have the best rapport with the fans and unfavorably recalls the letters she received from many and the reactions she received in the streets. While she'd love to work with Walker, Davies, Grahn and many of her other old friends, she just felt it best for her to lay the character to rest, as she had years ago. What does this mean for RTSB? "We're forging ahead- actually Victoria has been cast. I'm disappointed we were unable to strike a deal with Kristen- obviously she was my first choice. While I was never fond of Victoria, or Kristen in particular, the reality is that Meadows has everything to do with why I could never sympathize with or like Victoria Lane. Which is a necessary quality for the part." But wait? Did we read that quote right? Victoria has already been cast? She has and we at SONBC have been asked to keep a tight lip about the actress who landed the part. But we just can't resist giving out a little tidbit: the Santa Barbara fans will be pleased and certainly will have no more reason to sympathize with the new actress than Meadows. STAY TUNED.............. Oh- and don't miss the second part of yesterday's episode between 8-9:30 PM TONIGHT (U.S. Eastern Standard Time)

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!!!! (EXT: The Lair) ---Gina walks into the surprisingly crowded bar. She looks around and finally spots Lily, sitting at a small round table toward the far end of the bar. She approaches her daughter and takes her seat with her, ordering a gin & tonic from the waiter. "I can't believe the business in this place- I didn't even realize it was still open....." Gina muses. "It wasn't, actually. It had closed down about a year ago, but then this mysterious, anonymous buyer moved in on it just a few months ago, renovated, and re-opened it a few weeks ago, keeping the name intact...." "Whoever it was...it looks great. So why did you want to meet here? I'm always happy to spend time with you, Lily- but something in your voice told me it might be more than that......" Lily explains that she thought Gina might be feeling a little down, after Keith & Elizabeth's big announcement, and could use a night out on the town. Gina appreciates the sentiment, but tells her daughter she's fine and comments that the men that frequent The Lair wouldn't exactly be her bag. Lily covers, saying that there's plenty of wealthy businessman that frequent there after-hours, which would be right up her ally. Gina again is skeptical of Lily and turns things around, asking how she's doing. Lily doesn't answer her, as she is obviously distracted. Gina turns around to see what she's looking at and see's Warren Lockridge and Angela Capwell sitting down for a drink. "Suddenly, this picture is becoming MUCH clearer to me......" Gina snarks. ---Across the bar, Warren and Angela order their drinks and take their seats at a lower-lying table. Warren asks Angela what exactly has her so upset. "It's Ted..." she answers. "Eh, Capwell, I should've known. What's he done now?" "I'm not sure, actually, maybe nothing...." "He's obviously done something if you're this upset, Angela." Angela tells him of the phone calls she made to Ted in New York. She explains that he lied about having seen Laken twice throughout the conversation and was blatantly trying to hide it from her. Angela also tells Warren of the rockiness they've been going through in their marriage, ever since Sophia's death. Warren tells her that it's natural for someone to go through a period of depression, and take some of that depression out on their spouse. Angela says that it's gone beyond that- they haven't even made love, and now he's lying to her about his ex-girlfriend. "Who happens to be my sister, Angela. Ted's a very married man. There is no way that Laken would get involved with him in that way- she's just not that kind of person...." "I'm sorry, Warren, but frankly, I don't know her very well, so how do I know that for sure? I could believe you and take your word for it- Fine. But that doesn't excuse Ted's behavior or his lying to me about her. If he were honest in the first place, I'd have no reason to be upset. But he wasn't honest, Warren, not in the least. Even if they haven't made love, if they aren't having an affair....I still......I have to wonder if he's cheating on me in his....... in other ways..." "What other ways? What other way is there?" "You're really going to make me say it? Alright fine. In his Heart, Warren. He's cheating in his heart..." "My God, Angela Cassidy Raymond Capwell- was that a soft side I just saw?" "Don't tell anyone...." (EXT: West Palm Beach, FL- Maureen's Hotel Room) ---Mary approaches the door to Maureen's room. She hesitates before knocking, but pulls herself together and does. Maureen opens the door, and greets her. She and Mary take a seat at the small table in the room. Maureen offers her something to drink and gets them each a bottle of water. There's a short period of silence between the two women. "I half-expected that you wouldn't come. Or if you did, your friend Mason would be with you...." Maureen says "Actually, he's downstairs at the bar. He insisted that I not come to the hotel alone, but I wouldn't allow him to come up here with you." "He's very protective of you." "Yes, he is. After losing me once, and everything Mark did to keep us separated...........Oh my God, you probably don't know, I should explain...." "There's no need. I'm well aware of everything that my son did to you Mary and I cannot express to you how sorry I truly am. Even though he was still your husband at the time, he had no right to hide you like he did, to keep you from Mason and the rest of your loved ones, even if he did save your life." "He saved it, alright, and made sure that when I woke up, I'd have no chance at a future with Mason......" she stops herself before becoming overly emotional. "It was a cruel, methodical thing he did to you and I am sorry for it. But there's some things that need explaining, I believe....some holes that I'm sure you must want filled in." Mary agrees and asks about the story that Maureen told her, about Mark killing his father. Maureen explained to Mary that as abusive as Jim was toward her, she didn't care. It was how he treated Mark and the way he made Mark feel about himself that upset her. Maureen tells her that Jim came from an abusive, alcoholic father, who had died years before. He had no siblings, and his mother had died as a child, so he had no living relatives. Rather than having a traditional funeral and burial, she decided to instead have him buried in the woods behind their home. She hired two men to bury him, buying the lowest-grade casket possible. She did her best to shelter Mark from everything, but he did see what the two men were doing one day and asked her point blank about it. She told him that it was actually an deer that was being buried, but knew she probably was unable to convince him of that. Maureen tells Mary she lived in that house for years after, and in fact, still lives there today. She explains to Mary that she was stunned when one day, 19 years ago, long after Mark had left home, she found that Jim's casket had been dug up! (EXT:London, England) ---Edmund, Sophia, and Pamela all sit around the dinner table as Christine serves them each their soup course. Pamela comments on how delicious it is. "You like it Addie? It's Edmund's favorite recipe........or at least it was." Sophia says. "It very much still is dear. I'm just glad our guest is enjoying it as well." "Oh I am, believe me, I am. It's all....quite delectable. So, Loretta. Tell me about you." she shoots Edmund a look and he smiles back. "How did you meet your husband here?" Sophia launches into a detailed account of how she met him in Santa Barbara, when they were in college. She tells how immediately taken she was with him when they met. Sophia says that she even remembers everything Edmund was wearing the day she first saw him- and rattles off his entire outfit. Pamela looks at Edmund and he nods in affirmation. "My, for someone who's been in a coma for so long, you have what seems to be a photographic memory...." Pamela muses. "Mrs. L always did, Mrs. C" Christine says, re-entering the room to clear the plates. "I always told her she should be an investigator or a cop, because she always paid such attention to details...." "THANK you, Christine- that's really quite interesting. It just surprised me that, after being little more than an invalid for so long, that a person could wake up with such a clear head. That's all." Pamela shoots back. Sophia politely tells Pamela that she sees where she could think such a thing, especially after what she's been through, but assures Pamela that her mind is clear and that she's never felt better. "That's......so.....wonderful for you dear, really it is." "STEAK COURSE" Christine announces. Pamela rolls her eyes and then sees Sophia and Edmund are watching her. She tries to cover, smiling politely at both. (EXT: West Palm Beach, FL- Maureen's Hotel room) ----Mary asks Maureen why someone would want to dig up her long-deceased husband- more importantly, why would Mark want to. Maureen tells her she wondered the exact same thing. She knew that it had to be Mark and was determined to find out why he did what he did, so she tried tracking him down and was stunned when she found out that he was presumed dead- had been, apparently, for some time. But when reading the article, it dawned on Maureen why Mark had dug up Jim's body...... "My God..." Mary realizes "THE BONES!" "Exactly" Maureen replies. Suddenly, they hear a scream from the hallway. "THAT SON OF A B!TCH ISN'T GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!!!!" Mary looks at Maureen. Maureen hurries to the door, with Mary behind her trying to stop her. Maureen flings open the door and they see Mason standing on the other side of it. "MASON!" Mary says. Maureen looks at Mary and then at Mason. "WELL" Mason says "Is SOMEBODY going to invite me in" THE END................for TODAY- look for Pt. 2 of this episode tomorrow night And be sure to listen to IN THE ZONE tonight, as I'm filling in as co-host with Ryan Chandler. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/in_the_zone

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!!! (EXT: Baja, Mexico- HOTEL) ----Eden sits on the phone while Julia, Adriana, and Steve sit around the room, all with solemn looks on their faces. Eden hangs up and informs everyone that it was the investigators on the line. The DNA test is underway as they speak and should be done in about an hour. Julia asks if they gave any indication as to whether it's a match, but Eden tells her that they have no way of knowing until the test is complete. Julia tells Eden to keep strong, but she admits to being extremely anxious. "Mrs. Castillo, I know I don't know you very well, but for what it's worth.......I hope everything works out today..." Steve says. "No, you don't know me very well. Or my husband. I didn't mind having you stay with us, Steve, since you were a friend of Adriana's, but with everything going on...." "Sure. I understand- I can hit it....." Steve walks out the door. "Why would you do that?" Adriana asks, "He was only trying to....." "He shouldn't BE here Adriana. You really shouldn't be either, but since you ARE here...." "He's my FATHER, mom, I'm exactly where I should be. And Steve......" "Is going exactly where he should go..." Eden again interrupts. Adriana looks at her mother and then hurries out after Steve. Eden asks Julia if she did the right thing and Julia tells her it doesn't matter- this is her husband and Adriana's father, she has every reason to lash out and every right to her privacy. Eden remarks that she found it odd that a total stranger would stick around as long as Steve did anyway. Meanwhile, Adriana catches up with Steve outside and attempts to talk him out of leaving. Steve insists that Eden was right- he shouldn't be there. "Please- according to her, I shouldn't be here either. She's just upset is all....." "OF course she is, Adriana- her husband could be dead. I'm sure she's going through hell, which is exactly why she doesn't need some stranger around, commenting and being a nuisance...." "You're not a nuisance....." Steve insists that he should go and Adriana informs him that if he's leaving, she's going with him. Steve does his best to talk her out of it, telling her she should be at the hospital when the results come in. Adriana agrees she should, but says after those results do come in, either way, there isn't anything left for her to do in Mexico. She asks him if he'll wait long enough so they can drive back together. Steve tries to wiggle out of it, saying that Eden wouldn't appreciate him being around the hospital after she asked him to leave. "Then you can wait in the car while we're inside......and she won't know the difference. Please. I'm gonna go crazy if you leave me here alone with her......." Steve looks at her and cracks a smile. "You can be pushy when you wanna be, you know that princess?" "Only when I really want something....." (EXT: Capwell Enterprises) ----Angela sits on her phone, hearing the ringing tone and hoping Ted will pick up. He does and the screen splits between the two of them. Ted apologizes for not returning any of her calls sooner, saying that he's been busy with meetings and dinners with contacts. "Oh, sure, that's fine Ted. You're busy up there, I understand....." "Your tone doesn't sound too understanding...." "There is one thing that's bothering me and perhaps you could help me with it. If you're so busy that you can't return any of my phone calls, when exactly have you had time to 'entertain' Laken Lockridge?" "Laken? I....haven't........what gave you that idea?" "What gave me that idea? She answered the phone when I called your suite last night......" "Oh....that....." Ted explains that she had called him earlier in the day and wanted to meet for dinner, but it was completely innocent. Angela wonders, if it was so innocent, why he didn't just tell her immediately when she called him on it. Ted insists she's making something out of nothing, but Angela disagrees. She tells him that he was distant when he left town and now he's hiding rendezvous with his ex-girlfriend from her. What is she supposed to think? Right then, Laken walks into Ted's room and asks him if he's ready to leave. He tries to quickly cover the receiver of the phone and tells her he will be in a minute. He gets back with Angela, but she's quiet. "Angela?!? Angela?!? Baby?" "Oh, I'm here Ted. That was her that just walked in wasn't it......" "Walked in where? Her? What are you talking about....." "You really take me for a fool, don't you? GOOD-BYE TED!!!" She hangs up the phone and looks up from her desk to see Lily there smiling. "Lovers quarrel?" Lily taunts. "You really need to get a life of your own Lily and back the hell off of mine!" "He's really got you rattled, doesn't he? Lemme guess.... I was right about Laken- he was with her, wasn't he?" "Get out of here...." "He WAS! Oh my, my, my.......and let's see, knowing Ted Capwell, he probably tried to deny it, and made you feel guilty for even asking, since noble, faithful Ted wouldn't EVER cheat on anyone......Isn't that right, Angela?" "Go to hell!! And GET OUT OF HERE!!!! NOW!!!!" "Alright, I'm going, I'm going. Oh.....and Angela........it couldn't have happened to a more deserving whore." "GET OUT OF HERE YOU B!TCH" Lily walks out, shutting the door behind her. Through the window, she sees a distraught Angela pick up her phone and start dialing. She hurries to the break room, and listens in on the call. "Warren- it's me........Yeah, well, you don't know the 1/2 of it..........can you meet me at the Lair for a drink tonight?.......8 o'clock.....sounds good.......bye......." Lily slowly hangs up the phone and smiles. "The Lair huh? Classy, Angela.......Real classy...." (EXT: Baja, Mexico- Hospital) ----Eden, Julia, Adriana, and some of the investigators sit in the waiting area, anticipating the results. Eden looks at the clock as it ticks closer to 4 PM. She is completely unnerved when she sees Kirk Cranston approaching. She gets up out of her seat and walks toward his line of direction. "Eden....Eden don't do anything you'll...." Julia says, but Eden begins talking over her. "STOP. You stop right there. What exactly do you think you're doing? Why on earth would you possibly show up he..." "I have as much right to be here as anybody- It was MY Yacht that exploded, remember?" "How could I forget?" "I don't like what you're insinuating- I'm as much of a victim in this as you are...." "As much of a........ I knew you were low Kirk, but THAT's low even for you. You lost a yacht- I may have lost the LOVE of my LIFE! How can you even compare the two....." "I didn't mean to be insensitive, Eden- Look, I just meant that I'm being set up for this whole thing by a real pro......It's just as important to me as you that we find out who did this........and that we know for certain who was killed on my yacht....." Eden tells him that there is no "we". She'll find out who did this and he'd better pray that he's as clean in all of this as he claims. She coldly says that if she finds out he's been lying to her and had anything to do with Cruz's......disappearance, she'll make him wish he was never born. The investigator walks up and tells Kirk there were a few more questions he wanted to ask of him and Kirk happily complies. Julia comforts Eden, who's obviously beside herself. Santana comes flying down the hall and sees how distraught Eden looks. She looks around and sees Kirk talking to the head investigator. She asks if there's been any word yet and Eden says there hasn't. Suddenly, the lab technician comes out with the results. Eden, Santana, Julia, Adriana, Kirk, and the investigators all gather around him to hear what he says. "After a thorough comparative analysis of the DNA of the body found and the DNA of Commander Cruz Castillo, we have come to the conclusion that they are a..................................99% match, the highest possible probability....." "No.....It can't be..." Eden cries "No...........Not Cruz, not my.....my Cruz....." Julia walks up and tries to comfort Eden but she pulls away. "No, Julia, it can't be. They're WRONG! THEY'RE WRONG!!!" "Mama," Adriana says, trying to get a hold of her mother, "Mama, please" "No baby, NO, he can't be gone, HE can't. THAT'S NOT YOUR FATHER!! HE wouldn't die on me like this, he wouldn't leave me like this, Please, PLEASE- TELL them You MADE A MISTAKE! DO THE TEST AGAIN!!!" "I'm sorry Mrs. Castillo, but we run the test 3 times to ensure accuracy.......all 3 times, the results were the same. I'm very sorry ma'am" "No! NO!!!!!" Eden flings the door open to where Cruz's body lays, burnt beyond recognition. "CRUZ!!!! CRUZZZZ !!!! NOOOO!!!" she says as she wraps her arms around the massacred body. "PLEASE- GOD - NOOOOO!!!!" Adriana, Julia, Santana, Kirk, the investigators and the technician all look on as a distraught Eden rests her head atop the sheet covering her dead husband's body. Santana tears up watching her, and then gives Kirk a pained look. Kirk stares right back into her eyes, and then they both again turn their attention to Eden.

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!!! (EXT: West Palm Beach Airport) ---Mary is completely stunned when she realizes that Maureen is very much alive. She explains that Mark had always told her that he had no family, that both of his parents died in a tragic accident when he was young and that he had no siblings. Maureen tells her that this is partially true- Mark doesn't have any siblings and his father died when he was very young. But she's always been very much alive and raised Mark....up until he left home and never looked back. Mary wonders why he would have no contact with him. "You must understand, Mary, that our relationship......was strained at best, especially as he got older. Mark always wanted and needed my attention- attention that I couldn't always give to him. His father........(she pauses a bit, getting herself under control) His father treated me like a possession. Told me what to do, what to wear, who I could spend time with. He was a very powerful, influential man at the time but he had this dark side that only I knew about it. He was cold.....violent and threatening. Mark was so young, innocent and his father was quite proud of his son. But even as such a little boy, 4 or 5 even, Mark saw how I was treated. I was uneducated and though I wanted to pursue college, I married Jim......that's Mark's father....instead, with the intention of going back. But Jim..... He liked me where he had me, he was the educated one, he was the one with career and money and in those days, it wasn't exactly abnormal. He wanted to keep me under his thumb and that's exactly what he did......for a while...until....." Maureen stops herself. "Until what, Ms. McCormick? What happened?" Mary questions. "I became......restless. Jim was an extremely busy man and Mark had started pre-school, so I found myself with a little time on my hands. I began taking courses at the community college..........only 2, as I had to be sure they were scheduled at times where Jim would be tied up with work and Mark with his pre-school. I was beginning to feel good about myself when.....He found out. I had left one of my books out in my nursing room. I had always been so careful to put them away, but not that day....and he found it. Needless to say, he hit the roof, only this time, he became violent. He hit me so hard I went right over the changing table- he eventually beat me so badly that I blacked out........Mark......Mark found me I guess, I barely remember as I was in and out of conciousness at this point.......but Jim.....Jim had fallen asleep. Mark went into the study where he kept his gun........(she chokes up, trying to hold back)........I would've stopped him, I had no idea........I walked into the family room and there was Jim, dead, bleeding profusely from his head. And my Mark, my little Mark, sitting on the floor with a gun in his hand......I of course, called the police, and tried as best I could to explain everything that happened.....they interviewed Mark and had 3 different psychiatrists check him out, all of which reached the same conclusion, after speaking with him: He'd witnessed the entire thing, Mary. He watched his father beat me to a pulp from beginning to end. He ran for his father's gun, taking it and hiding, thinking Jim would use it on me to kill me. And the second he felt safe and Jim fell asleep........he shot him............." Mary tries to comfort Maureen. She then tells her that she doesn't understand how this relates to her in any way. Maureen tells her everything will make sense soon enough. Mason and Pearl begin to approach the two women. Maureen notices this and tells Mary she has to go, but gives her the name of the hotel and room that she's staying in. She urges her to come see her that evening and she'll answer all of her questions, hopefully shedding some light on a few things. Maureen takes off as Mason walks up. "We're all checked in. Who was that woman you were talking to?" "I'm not going anywhere, Mason." she replies. "What? What's going on? Who was that?" "Nevermind. You and Pearl go home, go ahead. There's something I need to do before I leave here." "I'm not leaving you here, Mary. " "Mason, please! I'll be fine....." "I'm sure you will.......because I'll be right here with you....." Mary tries to talk him into going, but Mason insists. They both agree that Pearl can go on ahead, as Mason wants him to start working on finding Mark. Pearl heads toward security as Mason and Mary leave the airport. (EXT: LONDON, ENGLAND) ---Pamela finishes putting her things away in her room. She skulks down the hallway by Sophia's bedroom. She hears the water running in a nearby bathroom and realizes she must be showering. She hurries down the back staircase, always checking behind her to make sure nobody is following or can see her. Pamela finally arrives at her destination: the kitchen. She finds Christine furiously chopping vegetables, in preparation for the soup course of the meal. Pamela quietly walks up behind her. "Hello Christine!" "AHHHH!!" "HAH-AHHHH!" Both women scream. "Will you BE quiet?!?" Pamela says to her. "Sorry Mrs. C- I didn't know it was you- How you been? Welcome to London- you look fantastic by the way..." "Nevermind, how I look, Christine, just what the hell has been going on here? I thought you were supposed to be my eyes and ears in this.........relic....." "Still am Mrs. C, still am?" "Then why is it I didn't know anything about "Loretta"?" "Isn't it wonderful Mrs. C? Dr. Lavery got his wife back, I have my old friend back......" "Has this whole emporium gone mad? SHE'S not Loretta- he's brainwashed SOPHIA, but make no mistake...." "I know what you're sayin, but I'm tellin you- she's the real deal. Loretta Mathis Lavery- there's not a shred of SO......Oh, Mrs. L- How are ya?" "Hello Christine. Ms. Lowell. What exactly is going on here, if you don't mind my asking?" Christine gives Pamela a look and Pamela innocently smiles at Sophia. (EXT: Mexico- CLINIC) ----Santana peeks in on the patient, bandaged up in intensive care and resting. She looks around her and heads back to the lab. She walks in and looks at some of the samples lined up. Suddenly, she feels a hand on her shoulder and whips herself around. "Relax, Santana, it's only me. No need to be afraid...." "Tell that to Cruz....." "Santana, when are you going to start listening to me? I had absolutely NOTHING to do with what happened to Castillo....couldn't be further from the truth. But I'll tell you- the people that did.....they're out there and they're dangerous. Extremely dangerous.....' "Why should I believe you? Why are you telling me this Kirk? What's your motive?" "If, and I mean IF, Cruz IS alive, and these people get wind of it..........there's no telling what they'll do.....actually, there is- they'll hunt Cruz down and they'll finish what they started. If they were to find out you were helping him.....I'd hate to see the look on your poor mother's face if that happened...." "Is that some kind of threat?" Kirk corrects her, telling her it's more of an ultimatum. The DNA tests are about to go down and if Cruz's DNA doesn't match, he'll be hunted down in no time, no question- whether it be by Eden, or by whoever tried to kill him. Either way, she stands to lose plenty if that happens. Santana asks him how she can be sure they won't be caught and how she can be sure she can trust him in the first place, considering he may be the one who wants Cruz dead. Kirk reminds her that he's known for a couple days now about this mystery patient who may or may not be Cruz and has yet to make any attempts on his life. He also tells her it does him no good with Eden if Cruz turns out to be alive and it turns out he knew about it. "I should have known. That's your motivation for involving yourself in all of this- Eden!" "Of course. Eden's.......very special to me....she was my wife once.....some of the happiest days of my life.....I'd be lying if I said I didn't want her back...." "Badly enough to kill her husband to do it...." Kirk grabs Santana by her arm. "I've done NO SUCH THING! And you of all people can attest to that, can't you Santana? So why don't you just do us both a favor and stop playing games and give me What I CAME HERE FOR!!!!" Kirk and Santana exchange in an intense stare-down. (EXT: London, England) ----Sophia again asks Pamela and Christine what's going on. Pamela apologizes, explaining that she was just astonished to visit her old friend Edmund and see that his wife was back on her feet, since she'd been comatose for years. Sophia says that it doesn't explain why she's in the kitchen, commiserating with Christine. "I was just asking Christine some questions about you is all. I admit, I'm quite curious...." "I can understand your curiosity, Addie, but I'd prefer it if you took the more direct approach: any questions you have about me should be asked of me, not Christine." Sophia says. "You're absolutely right, Loretta, I apologize. I just didn't want to bombard you with all sorts of questions is all. I didn't want you to think me to be rude in any way....." "Not at all. I'm sure we'll have plenty of conversation at dinner tonight. In any event, I was looking for you because Edmund would like to see you, in his study." "Well then I won't keep him waiting....." "I'd be happy to continue this talk with you, perhaps over a cocktail before dinner..." Pamela looks at her. "Sure. I'd like that." Pamela heads out, but not before shooting Christine a look. "What was she asking you?" Sophia/Loretta asks Christine. "Just about you, Mrs. L- what you've been like since you've been awake, if you're the same as I remembered ya...." "Am I? Am I how you remembered me Christine? I feel as though I've slept an entire lifetime away......sometimes I'm not sure what I'm supposed to act like, to be like...." "You're not supposed to act like anything, Mrs. L. You're just supposed to be you, best as you can. I think you've had a remarkable recovery- and it's good to have you back. Does that answer your question?" "Yes, yes it does......This Addie Lowell, I don't know that I trust her though......She seems a little too.....interested in the situation. I actually think she's a little too close to my husband....." "Dr. L? No way....He wouldn't be interested in someone like her......Besides, I happen to know that he's very much in love with you....." "I hope so Christine. I hope so....." (EXT: West Palm Beach, FL) ----Mary and Mason sit in a restaurant as she explains everything that Maureen told her. Mason cannot believe the story so far, but wonders how much it could be related to their child and everything Mark has done. Mary tells him that Maureen insisted that everything would make sense once she explained. Mary pulls out the paper with Maureen's information on it and dials her phone. Maureen picks up and tells Mary to meet her in her hotel room for dinner. Mary agrees to be there at 6 PM. She hangs up the phone and Mason insists that he's going with her. "I don't think that's a good idea, Mason. I don't want her to clam up on me- I think it's best if I do this alone....' "You're not even sure who you're dealing with, Mary. She could be dangerous....." "She's not dangerous, Mason, believe me. I'd know it. She is cautious, however, and certainly reserved. For whatever reason, she opened up to me, which means she feels comfortable with me, for some reason, even trusts me. I'm not going to close down those lines of communications by having skeptical you in her face, questioning everything she says, arguing with her....." "Would I do any of that?" Mary gives him a look. "Alright, alright, I'll stay put. Just promise me you'll be careful and that you'll call me AS SOON as you leave there...." "I promise...." She begins to walk away when Mason turns her around and surprises her with a passionate kiss. They pull back and she, uneasy on her feet, stumbles her way out the door, as Mason playfully stares at her, keeping her off-balance. THE END...............for today Sorry it's so late- took an extended nap during normal people time.

Funny that she doesn't really mention Jed. Perhaps he's been 'upstaging' her again....

By the way, she mentioned, off the record of course, that she misses all the letters and would love to hear from you both. She also joked that she'll be looking for her bouquet of flowers on April 25th, when she doesn't receive her SONBC Award nomination.....

Is she Loretta? Is she Sophia? Just what is going on with RTSB's matriarch, Sophia Capwell, and will she ever return home to her loved ones? We sat down with Judith McConnell and got into all of this, including her SONBC Award pre-nom. SONBC: Welcome Judith. It's such an honor to get to meet you like this. Judith: Thank you very much. What a nice thing to say? SONBC: You've been a very busy lady over on RTSB since its inception. Judith: I sure have and I couldn't be more pleased by that. I'll admit that, like many others, I was skeptical when I heard the idea and was approached about it. Of course, I was dying to revisit Sophia, but I wasn't sure I'd want to go there if the writing was going to change her or possibly ruin what we accomplished on 'Santa Barbara'. But after having met him and seeing how enthusiastic he was about the characters of CC & Sophia, how could I not sign on? SONBC: I can see you feel you've made the right decision. Judith: Positively. I couldn't ask for a better storyline- Greg has actually set up multiple things for Sophia, all of which I couldn't be more excited to play. Right now though, I've gotta say, I'm having a blast kicking up my heels and playing an entirely different character. I love Sophia, but this thing with Loretta has been a nice break and challenge for me. SONBC: It's strange what's happened to you- we've actually had to watch the process of Sophia being manipulated and then hypnotized into thinking she's Edmund's late wife Loretta.... Judith: Actually, I knew this was coming. Greg warned me about it upfront and I loved the challenge of it. I did mention to him that the timing of it seemed a little odd, since things were just starting to cook with the introduction of my sister, Elizabeth, but I get what he's doing, I really do. Because of this middle area, this little Loretta adventure, my storyline will be that much stronger when Sophia does get her memory back and returns to Santa Barbara.... SONBC: So you're saying this Loretta/Edmund thing isn't gonna last forever ? Thank God.... Judith: I don't see how it can- Sophia will have to get her memory back sometime no? Actually, we've got a little ways to go but long-time SB fans will enjoy how it all plays out. A character from the past will return for it, someone they may not expect, but will surely enjoy. SONBC: We heard about the SONBC pre-nom. Congratulations! Judith: Thank you very much. Back in the 'SB' days, it was always the other girls competing and I was always more than happy for all of them. However, I will say that it was nice to be recognized this time around. Marcy and A were both so happy for Jed & I. Oh, how I missed all of them the past 14 years. It's such a joy to be reunited with them like this, to be taking this ride with them again, yet it's all new again for us. We're all so lucky and grateful for what we've been able to regain. SONBC: They re-cast Elizabeth right around the time of Sophia's "death". How do you feel about Deborah Adair? Judith: I'll admit that I really enjoyed working with Christine (Tudor Newman, ex-Elizabeth). She was someone I'd always admired as an actress and we worked well together. With that said, I think Deborah is wonderful and I can't wait to work with her more. We've re-shot the scenes of Elizabeth's abortion and those leading up to it, but that's all that we've really worked together. SONBC: Interesting that you mention the abortion development.....Color me STUNNED. Judith: Again, I knew it was coming. Greg was forthright with me about the bible he had for Return to Santa Barbara and I had no problem with this or anything else we talked about. It adds another layer to Sophia. She wasn't a very nice young woman in her day and did whatever she had to to get what she wanted, not caring who she stepped on along the day. I was a little concerned at first, but I really do get it. Plus, I absolutely LOVE that we're finally seeing some of what Sophia's home life was like. As I said, they're doing A LOT of exploring with my character, which is more than I can say for the last writer we had on SB. SONBC: Anything you've particularly enjoyed so far? Judith: I've really enjoyed the relationship between Rosa and Sophia. Before, it was always implied, but not really shown. Margarita is a wonderful actress and those scenes come so naturally for the two of us. I also have got to say that they've really gotten it right with the casting of Carmen Duncan as Pamela Conrad. Don't get me wrong, I loved Shirley Anne and Marj, but Carmen's Pamela is someone that really can go toe to toe with Sophia. Though I didn't submit much with her for the pre-nomination, if I do indeed break through and get a nomination, I'll definitely submit an episode with her as my second. SONBC: Can you give us any tidbits on what's coming up? Judith: Sure. Loretta is going to continue on with Edmund and they will grow much closer, acting more like husband and wife than they have been. Also, some more familiar faces will be seeing Sophia in action as Loretta, which I'm looking forward to. And I happen to know for a fact that May is going to be HUGE. There's a remote planned in London involving many characters in the cast that we're all really looking forward to. It's going to be a lot of fun, and a reunion of sorts, when that surprise character I've been telling you about makes their way back to RTSB. SONBC: Can't wait! Thanks so much for the interview. Hope we can do it again sometime! Look for this series to continue next Sunday, as each week, an interview with a SONBC Award pre-nominee will be posted!!!!

I know they will Tish, but I feel really bad about it. I hate saying I'm going to do something and then not doing it........ it's not who I am and not how I want to be perceived by others. It just sucks because the stress I'm under on some days can effect the writing, which is probably why I haven't posted as often lately. At the same time, I really want to move my stories along and if I don't keep posting, I can't do that...... Anyhow, I'm not going to post a schedule this week- I'm just going to take it day by day...... I'll update the schedule daily, to let you all know if & when there will be an episode each day. I still have a 4th episode I'd like to do for this week, so who knows? I may put it up tomorrow......or I may just do some kind of news item. In any event, I sincerely apologize for not being able to post one for the past 3 days.....

I look forward to your return. Though I'm behind on reading all the blogs right now, yours is one of my faves for sure. Do what you got to do and can't wait to start reading again when you return....

I'm sorry you guys but I don't think RTSB will be back until Monday. I really hate this but I don't want episodes to suffer because of my personal problems.

His name is Greg and he's had an extremely rough couple of days at work. Many of you know that I wait tables. For the past two days, I've had a manager berate me, personally attack me, and send me home because of extremely small and questionable instances. Both times, she deliberately pushed my buttons in an attempt to get a rise out of me and cause me to lose control. Both days, I somehow was able to maintain my composure, which of course, only infuriated her more. In 10 years in the restaurant business, I've never been treated so horribly and disrespectfully. She even went so far as to follow me through the restaurant, trying to provoke me, which many of my customers saw. Additionally, she went out of her way to remind me that she is in the position of power, not I. I'll let you all in on a little something about me: I'm direct. Blunt. To the point. You'll always get a straight answer from me, though you may not like what you hear. I'm also very articulate and choose my words carefully when I speak. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, particularly in a work environment. My manner can be intimidating to some, and a breath of fresh air to others. But everyone, like me or not, is well aware that I don't take any sh!t from anyone- I'm not afraid to put a person in their place. Now I would never go out of my way to do such a thing. But I'm certainly not someone you want to provoke because it IS something that you'll regret. HOWEVER, being an actor and an observer, I'm well aware of people's motivations for doing things and I can tell when someone is trying to get that rise out of me, to get that reaction. And when I see someone coming at me like that, trying to razzle me, it actually empowers me. Gives me control over the situation- I'll stay calm and cool under pressure. I will calmly, pointedly, and articulately tell you what's on my mind without being overly aggressive or yelling or screaming. And the same thing happens every time, specifically with that human behavior: The person gets so angry, they are unable to even see straight and UNLEASHES on you. That's what's been going on with this b!tch the past couple of days. The stress that her attacks have caused me have actually made me physically weak, both days. This is a person that I have trusted in the past, gotten along with and even looked out for, which is why it has hurt all the more. But her behavior is beyond reprehensible. We work a very similar schedule and I really don't want to have to change my schedule or my job to accommodate her. At the same time though, it's not worth putting myself through this just for some serving job in a restaurant. Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest. Any comments/thoughts/suggestions/discussion would be appreciated. BTW.....I'm not gonna post an episode today you guys. I'm really sorry, but I just can't write it today. HOWEVER, I've cut out the Saturday double for the time being so I will post tomorrow. (She's off for the weekend, so I don't foresee any problems )

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!! (EXT: Capwell Enterprises) ---CC sits at his desk, thinking about the conversation he had with Kelly at breakfast. He vows that Edmund Lavery will not destroy his family like he did his own. Kathleen buzzes him and informs him that Elizabeth is there for their meeting. He says to send her in and Elizabeth enters the office. "Well, Mrs. Timmons. Good morning....." "Good morning CC. I'm so sorry about that by the way...." "You have nothing to be sorry for- you live your own life, make your own mistakes. Doesn't affect me in any way." Elizabeth covers her disappointment by asking for her copies of the weekly reports and the files she asked for. He hands them to her and begins crunching the numbers with her. She becomes agitated by his business-like manner and finally, can take no more. "How can you--- How can you sit in here, with me, and act as though nothing's happened?" "I don't know what you're talking about...." "Like hell you don't! Our confrontation at Kelly & Ashton's reception? Ringing any bells yet?" "Oh....that. Haven't you said about all you had to say Elizabeth?" "Yes, but you haven't. You haven't spoken a word about it. I think we need to talk about it, CC. Don't you want some answers? It was your child too....." "How do I know that for sure?" "My God, you're as cold as they are. How could you even say that to me? My father and Sophia- they're one thing. But you were there, CC. I shared things with you that I hadn't shared with any man before you or any man since you. You were my whole world..." "And your sister's world too..." Elizabeth is angered by his selective memory and CC tells her that he doesn't appreciate all of this being dredged up years later, after Sophia has passed and while he's still mourning her. Elizabeth admits that it wasn't an ideal time for it all to come out but she stops short of apologizing for it. She says for her, it's been a bit of a relief, after carrying the burden on her own two shoulders for years. If nothing else, at least now she knows someone else is sharing that burden with her. CC cannot understand why she would go through with it. Elizabeth once again recounts how she begged her father and even Sophia not to make her do it, but her cries fell on deaf ears. CC cannot believe that Sophia would hurt her own sister in such a way. "Really? You know your view of her has become so clouded over the years- though you never were able to see her for what she was. Don't you get it CC? SHE was pregnant with a child she knew wasn't yours, but planned on passing off as such. The last thing she needed was her own sister, pregnant with your actual child. She was shrewd and calculating in those days, each move made with more precision than the next. She was a predator CC, and you were her prey. Only you were only too happy to fall into her web. I'm sorry, but that's the truth of the matter and after 40 years of living with her lies and manipulations, I thought you'd have realized that by now. But to do that, you'd have to admit you were wrong about her. And CC Capwell would never make such an admission. I went through Hell, HELL because of her, and I lost the one thing that was holding me together at the time- you. All at the hands of my own father and yes, My SISTER Sophia. And it hurt- boy, did it hurt.... Yet I look at you now and can't help but wonder if they did me a favor. Perhaps my judgement was clouded as you because when I was a girl, I thought you were the bravest man I'd ever known. But now, as a woman, I look at you and see the biggest coward I've met in my ENTIRE LIFE!!!" Elizabeth storms out of the office, upset. CC ponders what she said and picks up a picture of he and Sophia and stares at it, tenderly stroking her face with his finger. (EXT: London, England) ---Pamela stares at Sophia in sheer amazement. Sophia looks at her confused, still fishing for a reply. "I'm sorry, but you haven't introduced yourself yet......do I know you?" "Oh, no, I don't believe we've met. I'm ..... Addie. Addie Lowell, an old friend of your husband's. So nice to have finally met you, Loretta. Edmund's told me so much about you over the years." "Loretta, darling, tell Christine I'd like to have dinner at 7 PM tonight and choose the menu if you would....." "Oh, and do tell her to set an additional place for dinner. Edmund has invited me to join you, if that's alright with you." "Of course." She looks at them. "I'll let the two of you catch up. Oh and Edmund- I'd like to do a bit of redecorating, if that's alright with you. It needs some sprucing up, a woman's touch, something painfully missing in my absence." "Among many thing's I missed about having you around dear. That would be just fine with me." "Again, nice to have met you Addie." "Likewise" Pamela says. Once they're alone, Pamela demands some answers from Edmund. Edmund asks her if she's impressed with his work, and says it was a true test having someone that Sophia once knew all too well meet Loretta. Pamela reminds him that she's not really Loretta but Edmund insists she very much is. He says's there's even a remarkable resemblence between the two women. Pamela still doesn't understand why he did what he did. "Oh Pamela, sometimes I wonder if you even use that brain of yours. Did you honestly think that I was just doing all of this for you without there being anything in it for me? Surely you must have wondered...." "I thought you had the same motivation I did: Revenge. Mine on Sophia, and yours on CC...." "My wife is dead, Pamela, DEAD thanks to that man. Nothing Sophia did to you even remotely compares to that. But revenge, after the death of my love, my sweet, revenge is too cheap a price. What I wanted and what I've gotten is retribution. He took my wife from me and now I've done the same to him. Only this time, something good has come out of it.....no, something wonderful: Loretta." Pamela still doesn't completely understand what he's done and asks him to explain. He tells her about his manipulating Sophia into hypnosis sessions, where he then took her memories and replaced them with that of Loretta. He also explains that he treated and eliminated her aneurism, but kept her in the dark about it. Pamela asks him how he can be so sure that her memories as Sophia won't return. He admits that he can't, but the longer she remains in that environment and away from her loved ones, the chances of her memory returning decrease. Pamela remembers again why she came to see him in the first place and informs him that Kelly and Ashton are planning a trip there, and even planning on staying with him. She wanted to warn him before anything happened, so he could figure out what to do with Sophia. "Look around you Pamela- was the exterior of the house not enough for you? If ever there were a place where many people could stay and never see one another, THIS, this castle is it!" (EXT: West Palm Beach, Florida- Airport) ----Mary, Mason, and Pearl wait in the line to check in at the airport. Mason laments his disappointment with how everything turned out, especially for Mary. "I didn't get my hopes up, Mason, for this reason." "No, but we couldn't have asked for a worse case scenario, could we? Not only do we find out that the baby died, but there's a good chance that it was OUR daughter, our little girl, not yours and Mark's." Mary bows her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you." "It's alright" she says. "It isn't your fault. It isn't anyone's fault. At least we have some answers now, some certainty. We can put it behind us, at least that part of it, now." Mason concurs, however devastating those answers might be. Pearl apologizes for how things turned out and wishes aloud that there was something more they could have done. Mary grows frustrated at the long line and wanders off to the ladies room. Mason tells Pearl he's trying to be strong for Mary. He also tells him he wants him to do everything in his power to track down Mark for him. Pearl notes that Mary seems to want to leave it alone but Mason insists that he can't. As Mary is walking out of the ladies room, she feels a person grab her arm. She turns around and comes face to face with THIS PERSON!!!! "What do you want? Who are you?" "I have some information you've been looking for...." "Who are you?" "Maureen........Maureen McCormick?" "McCormick?" "Mark's mother....." Mary stands frozen, shocked to realize who she is.

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!! (EXT: The Capwell Mansion) ----CC lays in his bed, tossing & turning, apparently having a nightmare. He dreams about Sophia confronting Elizabeth about their affair. He looks into Elizabeth's eyes, seeing the pain on her face. He then glances toward their father, angrily looking down at his youngest daughter. Elizabeth tries to defend herself but Sophia slaps her across the face. Suddenly, the dream shifts to years later, after he & Sophia had reunited and remarried. He remembers laying in bed with her, talking about the children. She begins talking about how if she were ever to die, she'd hope that he find someone more suitable than Gina as a role model for her children. She begins to fade away and CC wakes up, startled. He looks next to him on the bed and sees the empty space where his wife slept every night with him. "Sophia, why did you have to leave me when you did? I need you.......now more than ever....." (EXT: London, England) ----Edmund walks down the stairs of his castle and heads down the hallway to the dining room. He's shocked by what he sees- Sophia is sitting there, fully dressed, with two beautifully decorated breakfast plates, complete with fruit, English muffins, and eggs topped with parsley. "Good morning darling. Did you sleep well?" "Fine- Loretta, dear, where did you find the time to accomplish all of this? How long have you been up?" "I thought it time I get back to my routine, don't you?" "Sure- I'm just surprised to see you fall into it so quickly, after the time that's passed." "Time indeed- I feel like I've slept my life away! But- I don't know how to say it- it's as though I woke up and knew exactly what to do. Christine, of course, had a lot to do with the breakfast and the setting of the table- I just instructed her as to what to prepare and what time to have it ready for you..." Edmund stares at her in sheer delight and walks up very close to her, staring her right in her eyes. He thanks her and leans down. She anticipates him kissing her but instead, he pulls her chair out for her to be seated. She awkwardly takes her seat and waits for him to be seated before beginning to eat. They begin chewing their food and sipping their tea. Edmund senses that Sophia is irritated with him. He asks her what's wrong. "It's nothing...." He gives her a knowing look. "Alright, there is something- it's just- I missed you last night. I thought you'd want to be close to me, as I've obviously been unconcious for some time. But instead, you leave me in our bedroom and retreat to one of the guest rooms...." "I just didn't want to rush things is all dear. You've been through a lot of trauma. You shouldn't be overwhelming yourself so soon...." "Don't you think I know what would be overwhelming to me? Shouldn't I at least be consulted on this ?" "Of course, I understand you're frustrated, but patience. There's plenty of time for all of that." She lets out an exasperated breath, which makes Edmund laugh and she along with him. They take in the moment and continue eating their breakfast. (EXT: Mexico- Santana's home) ---Santana, dressed in her hospital scrubs, is shown cleaning up the last of her dirty dishes before going to work. She grabs her purse and keys off of the table and opens her front door. "Going somewhere, Santana?" Kirk asks. "Yes. To work, if you don't mind." "To see our friend, 'the patient'?" "Among many other patients, yes. Just what are you driving at Kirk?" "May I come in? I think it would be best if we discuss this inside...." Annoyed, Santana waves him in with her arm, but tells him he's got 5 minutes. He asks if she has any coffee left and she says she doesn't. His eyes wander to the pot, which she promptly grabs and dumps down the drain. "All gone. Now what do you want Kirk?" Kirk reminds her that they're doing the DNA test on the man found in the ocean. Kirk also points out that if it turns out that the body found isn't Cruz's after all, she'd be sure to look up every hospital in the area and not give up until she hunts him down. He asks Santana how it would look if Eden discovered that Cruz was in the very hospital she's working at, and she didn't bother to tell her. "Is there a point to all this Kirk? Because you're time is about up and your patience is wearing thin....." "Ah, Santana, more stubborn than you were before. Years ago, we'd have wrapped this conversation up in 2 minutes flat but you've developed some sort of feistiness, which is quite unattractive by the way. Look, I think you and I want the same thing here - and I think we could scratch each other's backs here..." "I'd never do anything to help you Kirk. Or to hurt Cruz." "Cruz is already hurt......it's Eden that you need to worry about. I know people in this area Santana. I could easily, say, access the lab and even, I don't know, drop a tissue sample taken from a certain well done patient in that scraggly little clinic you work at....." "You really are deranged. You've worked this fantasy into some kind of plan now? Forget it- you're prying for something I'm not going to give you. So if we're done here, I need to be going...." She walks out the door and he behind her. As she locks it, he grabs her arm and turns her around. "The test is being done at 1 PM. I'll be by the clinic no later than 10 AM....just in case you change your mind..." Kirk gets into his car and takes off, as Santana stares at him driving away, shedding her tough exterior to reveal a frightened, nervous woman. (EXT: The Capwell Mansion) ----CC walks down the staircase and heads toward the dining room. He hears laughter in there and walks in on Ashton feeding Kelly her breakfast and the two of them giggling. Kelly notices her father standing there and turns Ashton around to see him. "Daddy, hi, good morning." "Morning kitten. Ashton." "Good morning Mr. Capwell." CC takes his seat and begins eating his breakfast. Kelly tells him that she and Ashton are planning on moving into the Capwell Hotel penthouse that day. CC says that he'll miss having her around, but she promises that she's not far away and will be close. He replies that he doesn't expect her, reminding her that he was once a newlywed. CC asks them if they've been on a honeymoon and Kelly admits they haven't, since they did everything so quickly. CC offers to pay for them to take one but Ashton mentions that he was planning on taking Kelly to London in the spring, as he has some business to tie up. He says that he'd thought they'd go to Paris for a few days as well, before going to England. CC asks why he'd already want to go back there. "My father lives there and I'd like very much for Kelly to meet him." "And I'm pretty anxious to meet him myself......" "What?!@? Edmund lives there?" "Yes, he hasn't been back to Santa Barbara in years, since my mother passed anyway. I was raised in the home he lives in now and I'd love for Kelly to see it." "Like hell- LIKE Hell she will. There is no way my baby girl is going to be staying with that man under any circumstances...." "Daddy! How could you say something like that? You don't even know him! I'm so sorry Ashton." "It's quite alright- but I do have to wonder- DO you know my father CC? From gauging your reaction...." "He lived in Santa Barbara while I lived here. I didn't know him personally, no, but friends of mind did......and, well, no slight to you son, but he's not the kind of man I'd want my daughter to be involved with in any way." "Funny you didn't mention anything about knowing him before...." Ashton muses. His cell phone rings and he excuses himself from the room. Now alone, Kelly admonishes CC for his behavior toward Edmund. "I'm only trying to protect you, pumpkin. That man........he's vile Kelly, someone you shouldn't mix yourself up with...." "He hasn't lived here in years daddy, so how do you even know? He may have changed since you knew him..." "People like Edmund Lavery don't change Kelly. Their minds only grow more twisted and diabolical through the years. Tell me....no, PROMISE me that you won't have anything to do with him....that you won't go to London with Ashton...." "I'll do no such thing and I can't believe you'd ask me to. Like it or not, Ashton is my husband and Edmund is his father. He's going to be a part of my life- He's my father-in-law now for crying out loud! This is just like you---classic CC Capwell, judging people based on their past and not even giving them a chance, despite what they may be in the present...." "There's a reason I live my life the way I do- and I'll tell you something, I keep low-lifes like Edmund Lavery out of it! I don't work so hard to keep them out of my life so my children can go and mix themselves up with them!" "Typical- stupid Kelly, doesn't know any better, can't see the forest for the trees. It's insulting- this is my life and he's MY husband. He makes me happy and if you can't be happy for me......" She gets up and storms out of the room, walking past her husband in the foyer and heading upstairs. "Look, I gotta go" Ashton says into the phone. "Keep me posted on it though- but if the opportunity arises and you cannot get a hold of me.....act on it- do what I'd want you to do......Good bye...." Ashton hangs up the phone and sees CC approaching him in the foyer. "You upset her....." "I did no such thing......I have every reason to not want my daughter near that man..." "Oh? Care to enlighten me as to what they are?" Ashton stares him down and CC begins to walk out the door. As he opens it, Ashton says "That's what I thought..." A pained look comes over CC's face looking ahead and the camera pans to a half smile coming over Ashton's. (EXT: London, England) ----Edmund & Sophia finish up their breakfast. Christine comes in to clear the plates and Sophia compliments her on how wonderful everything turned out. Christine thanks her and tells her it's good to have her back again. She smiles and says that Christine can thank her husband for that. Edmund smiles and approaches his wife. She stares into his eyes and he leans down and kisses her. As the kiss, the doorbell rings. Edmund comments that he wasn't expecting anyone and Sophia asks if he'd like her to answer it. He tells her not to and instructs her go over the menu for the rest of the day with Christine while he greets their guest. She tells him not to be long. Edmund answers the door and is stunned to see Pamela standing there. He is unable to even speak as she smiles. Her smile fades when she sees he isn't happy to see her. "Hello to you too, may I come in?" "Now isn't the best time Pamela. You really should have rang me before just showing up here like this...." "What difference? Besides, I wanted to come and check on the patient. How is Sophia anyway?" "Oh she's stable, still under, but I've eliminated most of the aneurism....." "Forget it. I think I've had a change of heart?" "What do you mean?" "Well what use do we really have for her now anyway? Everyone already thinks she's dead......why not take it a step further and....." "Kill her?" "Let her die...." Edmund is defensive, saying he didn't sign on to kill anyone. Pamela is shocked and says she surely thought he of all people would be up for this, especially after what CC did to his own wife. Edmund insists he will not stoop to CC's level. Edmund tells Pamela it's time she get going and that perhaps he'll meet her later on.. "I'm not going anywhere, not until I've seen Sophia. Why are you trying to get rid of...." Pamela stops dead in her tracks when Sophia walks into the room. "Oh. My. God." Edmund turns around and sees her standing there. "I'm sorry, Christine was confused about what time you wanted dinner prepared for so I thought I'd ask. I didn't mean to interrupt...." She turns her attention toward Pamela. "You must think my husband and I so rude......you could have introduced me, Edmund. I'm Loretta. Loretta Lavery." Pamela stands completely bewildered as she takes Sophia's hand. She shoots Edmund a look before again looking at Sophia, amazed. THE END...................for TODAY

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB BACK ON TV!!!! (EXT: New York City, NY) ---Ted opens up the door to his hotel room and throws his briefcase down on the table. He sees that the red light on his phone is blinking and calls the front desk to check his messages. The clerk informs him that his wife called and a Laken Lockridge had called as well. She gives him the phone number that Laken left. He hangs up the phone and looks at his cell phone and contemplates. Finally he begins dialing and the line begins ringing. "Hello?" Laken says, picking up her cell phone. "Laken Hi! Good to hear from you..." Laken tells him that her brother told her that he was in town so she decided to call him. She figured he'd be staying at the Waldorf, as he always does when he visits New York. She asks him if he has any plans for the evening and he admits he was planning on having a late dinner in the room. She offers to take him out to a restaurant she knows of in Manhattan. He agrees and tells her to come by his room and they'll go from there. They hang up and Ted smiles, thinking of her impending arrival. (EXT: West Palm Beach, Florida) ---Mary walks into the hotel restaurant and sees Mason, sitting alone in a corner table. She walks up to him, as he sits with a drink in front of him, his head in his hand. "Mind if I sit down?" she inquires. "No, of course, by all means....." "I'm sorry about what happened tonight....." "You have nothing to be sorry for, Mary. This was all Mark- you had no idea you were that far along- who knows- he may have even known from the beginning, paid your doctor to tell you the wrong due date....... I swear to you, Mary, when we get a hold of him, I'm gonna make him pay......after what he did to you.....' "Mason, please don't go doing anything foolish on my account...." "Oh don't worry, it's plenty selfish. I was accused of his murder and all the while he's been alive and well. Actually, there's a lot of things our old friend Mark needs to clear up- like who's bones were they that we found all those years ago?" Mary says she has no idea, that Mark kept her completely in the dark about all of that. Mary tells Mason that it isn't good to harbor all of the rage and anger he feels toward Mark. Mason cannot fathom how Mary couldn't have as strong a hatred for him as he and she reminds him that he did save her life. "Which is more than you can say for me I guess....." "Oh, Mason, that's not your fault. How were you to know..?" "That's just it, I should have known Mary. I should have known that something wasn't right, that you didn't really die. I was so busy feeling sorry for myself that I didn't take the time to investigate, even a little. That's something I'll regret now, for the rest of my life." Mary tells Mason that they ought to get upstairs and go to sleep, since they'll want to be rested for the flight tomorrow. Mason tells her to go on ahead, that he'll like to be alone for a little while. She agrees and heads upstairs, kissing him good-night on his cheek. The camera zooms in on Mason, as he sucks down his entire glass of whiskey. (EXT: Sherri's Apartment) ----Sherri arrives home and finds Mark waiting on the couch for her. "I thought you were never going to get here. How did it go? I got worried when you didn't come back for so long...." "Everything went fine, Mark." "You told them everything we discussed?" "Yes, just as you asked..." "Perfect. With any luck, they'll be back in Santa Barbara by tomorrow afternoon." "I really don't understand why you're doing this to her. Mason, I can understand- you hate him and I see why. The feeling is obviously mutual. But Mary, she's........ well she's the salt of the earth, no question. Why would you put her through this?" Mark explains that he feels Mary has been throught more than enough in her lifetime and the last thing she needs to know is that her child is alive and well. He insists that she's better off, saying that the baby would only serve as a constant reminder of what she lost when she was in her coma. He tells Sherri to trust him and questions whether she's having second thoughts or if she might have purposely slipped something to Mary. "I wouldn't do that Mark- but she's such a sweet lady and we fought so hard to keep them alive. Don't you think she deserves to know that her baby didn't die?" Mark looks at her, disgusted, and repeats his wishes, warning her not to tell Mary a thing. (EXT: New York City, NY) ---Ted showers and thinks about making love to Angela in the shower once upon a time. He is able to here a knock at the door, so he throws on his bathrobe and heads out, inviting Laken into his room. He tells her he was just showering and is going to finish, but tells her to make herself comfortable. FLASH TO ---Angela, sitting at her desk at Capwell Enterprises. She flashes back to the argument she got into earlier in the day with Lily. She then comes back to the present, staring at her cell phone. She picks it up and begins to dial. FLASH TO The hotel room, where Ted's phone is sitting on the nightstand, set to silent. The camera zooms in on the display screen, which comes up with Angela's number as it begins to flash. Meanwhile, Laken sits watching TV, minding her own business. FLASH TO Angela, frustratingly hanging up the phone. She then gets an idea and phones the Waldorf. She asks them if they could please buzz Ted Capwell's room. FLASH TO Laken, being distracted by the phone ringing in the middle of the room. She calls for Ted but he's unable to hear her. She walks across the room to answer the call. "Hello?" The screen splits, as Angela sits stunned that Laken just picked up the phone. "HELLO?!?" Laken asks again. Angela slowly lowers the phone back onto its ringer. Her disappointment with Ted shows in her eyes, as she squints and fills up with tears. THE END ................. for TODAY!!!!

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm GET SB ON TV!!!! (EXT: Baja Mexico- Highway) ---Santana drives down the highway, nervously. She remembers back to going off on the speedboat looking for Cruz and seeing the yacht he was on explode. She then flashes back to greeting a distraught Eden as a body was pulled up from the water. She continues driving, then thinks back to the conversation with Det. Torres and Kirk. She continues driving again, checking her rear view mirror as she looks for her exit. The camera pans to a car two cars behind and zooms in on the driver. "That's right Santana- nobody behind ya. Just keep driving...." Kirk says, as he follows her. (EXT: Capwell Enterprises) ---Alone in her office, Elizabeth admonishes Keith for barging in and announcing their marriage to everyone at Capwell. "I'm sorry angel, I didn't think it mattered- they were all gonna find out soon enough...." Keith says "There's nothing to find out, Keith. I was drunk and we made a mistake. I thought we agreed the best thing to do was to just end this as quickly as possible...." "We did, Lizzie Bit, we did, but see, I got to thinking- I don't know about you, but I ain't gettin any younger and here I got this beautiful, sophisticated, sexy woman to call my wife... I'm not so sure I wanna give that up..." "We hardly know each other..." "So? Last time I did this it was with somebody I knew inside and out and you know what? I'm a bachelor now.......or at least I was until.....Operation Consummation." Elizabeth looks at him. "It's disturbing that you call it that...." "All I'm sayin, Lizzie Bit, is maybe we ought to think this through, before we rush anything. Who knows? We might've stumbled onto something great here.....do you really wanna throw that away?" Elizabeth stares into Keith's eyes, taken in a bit by his charms. Suddenly, the two of them hear a loud, violent banging on the door. "What the...." Elizabeth barely gets out before..... "I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE. YOU TWO TIMING CHEAT AND YOUR SHREW. OPEN THIS DOOR BEFORE I KICK IT DOWN?" Elizabeth looks at Keith. "Gina...." "I CAN HEAR YOU TALKING SO YOU CAN STOP PRETENDING YOU CAN'T HEAR ME" Elizabeth flings open the door and Gina storms into the office. "Hey babe" Keith says. Gina promptly slaps him across the face as hard as she can. ---CC sits at his desk, staring at the picture of he & Sophia sitting on top of it. He remembers back to the evening where she came home from the spa and the candlelight dinner and dance that they shared. He comes out of his flashback when Kathleen buzzes him, telling him that his daughter is there to see him. She opens the door. "Hi daddy. This a bad time?" "Oh, Kelly, it's you pumpkin. Not a bad time at all." Kelly notices that CC sets the picture of he & Sophia back down on his desk. "You thinkin of mama?" "Yes, there's not a day that goes by where I don't think of your mother...." Kelly tells him that she still can't believe she's gone. She says that she doesn't think Ted is handling it very well and CC explains that's why he sent Ted on the trip to New York. CC changes the subject, asking her how things are going over at the hotel. She says that they're fine and the hotel is just what she wanted to talk to him about. She tells him that she'd like to move into the penthouse with Ashton, seeing as how it's vacant. It has plenty of room for the two of them and work will be convenient. CC tells her that he had plans to rent it, but they fell through and couldn't be happier than to rent it to she and her husband. CC mentions one thing though. "There's only one bedroom there. Not conducive for say.......a baby...." "Daddy!" "I'm just saying darling that when the time's right, the penthouse is not exactly a place you can raise a child in..." "Ashton and I haven't even talked about children yet, we're still getting to know one another...." "Isn't that what a courtship is usually for?" Kelly gives him a look and as she's about to defend her husband, the phone rings. CC answers it. "Hello.......Eden, baby, where are you I can barely hear you.......What?......Mexico?!? Why are you..?........ MY GOD- Are they sure it's Cruz?......... Well when will they know?.......That long? Princess, do you want me to come down there and...........Alright, alright. But if you need me.......Ok...........She's right here with me, don't worry, I'll tell them.............I love you too....." Kelly asks CC what's wrong and CC tells her that there were complications with Cruz's investigation and he was last seen boarding a yacht that ended up exploding. Kelly is horrified by the news and CC tells her they found a body. As Kelly begins to cry and CC walks to comfort her, Ashton enters the office. "Kelly.....Kelly, what's wrong?" "My God Ashton!" She runs up to him and hugs him. "What is it baby? What is it?" "It's Cruz.........Ashton, he's missing....." Ashton is stunned and holds Kelly, as CC looks on. ---Lily walks down to Angela's office, telling her she needs all of the files to give to Joann. Angela gets the files she's asking for and hands them to her. "Anything else?" Angela asks. "My, my, my, aren't we testy today...." "Can we do this another day? I'm really in no mood...." "What's the matter, Angela? No sack time with Ted? A little frustrated?" "You crude little......You have no shame- much like your mother. Then again, your mother can keep a man satisfied......Oh wait, I take that back.....her boyfriend just came home married to another woman. Is this some kind of twisted Blake curse?" "You can't hurt me Angela, not anymore. Besides, I have no reason to be upset- I'm free. You, on the other hand..." "I'm what Lily? Happily married to the man I love?" "Happily married? You really expect me to believe that? This, this is the same woman who was guzzling down drinks while I was dancing with her husband? Happily married couples take trips together, Angela. Happily married men don't jet off to New York City to act like fratboys and meet up with old college girlfriends.." "What are you talking about?" Lily spells it out for her, telling her she'd have to be a fool to think that Ted would spend a week in New York City and not see Laken. Angela reminds Lily that it's a business trip, but Lily reminds her just what it is that married men do on business trips. She also reminds Angela of how they got together: Ted was cheating on her, his fiance. Once a cheater, she tells Angela, always a cheater. "You rotten little witch, get the hell out of my office before I tear you to shreds." "Oh, gladly.....just one thing though- has Ted even bothered to call you since he's been away?" Angela looks at Lily. "Didn't think so. Do yourself a favor- give his suite a buzz. You never know what you might find out..." Lily smiles and turns away, walking out of the office, leaving an uneasy Angela to sit at her desk and contemplate. ----Keith holds his face with his hand, shocked by how hard Gina hit him "That really hurt...." "GOOD!" Gina replies "I WANTED IT TO HURT, JUST LIKE I WANT THIS TO HURT!" She slaps him again in the exact same spot. "OWWWWWW!! WILL You STOP DOING That?!?!?" "I HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN TO INFLICT PAIN...." Elizabeth steps in between them. "All right Gina. That's enough." "No, I believe I decide when it's ENOUGH, HUSSIE!" "Hussie?" Elizabeth says almost under her breath. "You really are dense aren't you..." Gina says sarcastically "This, THIS IS WHAT YOU LEFT ME FOR? ZSA ZSA THE ICE QUEEN?" "Zsa Zsa the Ice Queen.....Where did you come up with that?" Keith asks. "Never mind where I got it from. WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE?" "Elizabeth, would you mind giving me a few minutes alone with Gina?" "Gladly- you can have her. We still on for dinner, darling?" "Of course." "See you at home. Good bye Gina- And when I get back, I expect you won't be here...." Gina goes to lunge toward Elizabeth but Keith holds her back. He tries to calm her down but she's not having any of it. "OH, NO, Don't even THINK you're SWEET-TALKIN your way out of this one, KEITH!" "Will you just SHUT UP for one minute and LISTEN TO ME?" he says as he puts his hand over her mouth. He looks at her and tells her to keep her mouth shut and he'll take his hand off of her. She nods her head in compliance and he lets go. "WHY THE HELL SHOULD I LISTEN TO-" Keith cups his hand over her mouth again and explains. "Who owns Capwell Enterprises" "CC" Gina says, muffled. "THE OTHER HALF" "EWIZABA" she says. "Precisely. You think I like being married to Zsa Zsa? NO, of course not. But I'm doin it for YOU, baby. I'm doin it for US." He again lets go of her mouth. "How is this for US?" "Oh, I've got a plan" Keith says, giving her his patented devilish look. (EXT: MEXICO) ---Santana pulls up to a small, poor-looking clinic. She gets out of her car, nervously looking around her. She hurries toward the door, as Kirk gets out of his car, following behind her. He follows Santana into the clinic and ends up at a locker room where she puts on her scrubs. He ducks into a small hallway so she won't see him when she comes out. He watches her through the little window on the doors as she walks quickly down the small hallway, perpendicular to him. He sees her going into a room on the end, on the left hand side. He follows her there and peeks in through the blinds on the window. When everything comes into focus, he sees her standing over what looks to be a man, severely bandaged up to the point that all that can be seen are his eyes and lips. Kirk quietly opens the door and sneaks up on her. He puts his hand on her shoulder startling her. "Ahhh!" she says, as she turns around. "Oh my God, Kirk." "Yes, Santana it's me. Mind introducing me to your friend there?" Santana looks up horrified, as a sinister Kirk stares her down. THE END.............for TODAY
