Welcome Back Tiffany!!!! I continue to get the most enjoyment out of Scotty Baldwin on TCOPC- LOVE that he's running for mayor against Ric. They make great rivals.

:lol:

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm (EXT: London, England, eventually setting on a gothic, castle-like home) ---Edmund sits at his desk in the study, smoking a pipe. A nurse walks toward him and informs him that the patient is awake and has many questions for him. He tells her to let Sophia know he'll be in shortly to consult with her. The nurse exits and the camera zooms in on Edmund. Edmund flashes back to telling Sophia how the treatment would effectively attack the aneurism, explaining it would 'burst' into many pieces, which he would then attack. He then flashes to preparing the serum to inject in her. That fades into Sophia coming in and accepting the treatment, with him giving her the first injection, followed by the next times she came in. Next, he flashes to the SANTA BARBARA MEDICAL CENTER, where he tampered with certain machines, including Sophia's heart monitor, the respirator, as well as the machine used to give her the MRI, giving the readings of her brain activity. He leaves the X-Ray machine alone, knowing it would show the aneurism had burst. He then flashes to receiving the phone call from Pamela, telling him Sophia was on the way. He listens in as the doctors talk about which room she'll be put in and he then ensures that the proper heart monitor & respirator are placed in there. After that, he remembers donning a surgical mask and being given orders to take Sophia to the crematorium after the morgue. He then switches Sophia with another dead female and delivers the other to the crematorium, taking Sophia with him. He then gives Sophia another injection, waking her up in an almost hypnotic state, where he convinces her subconcious that she snuck out of town under the guise of an extended business trip. He then flashes to them together on the plane, and Sophia waking up. The camera focuses back on Edmund, in the present, as he heads off to Sophia's room. (EXT: Capwell Enterprises) ---CC walks into the office and Kathleen is surprised to see him there so soon. CC acts annoyed, telling her that he needs to get back to work, to keep his mind off of everything. CC walks into his office, slamming the door behind him. He sits down at his desk, placing his hands over his head, not noticing that someone else is in the room, sitting on his sofa. "Welcome Back, CC" Gina says "What are you doing here? Honestly, Gina, I'm in no mood....." "I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away from work very long," she says, ignoring him "and there's something I'm a bit.....well, curious about..." "Can't you satisfy your curiosity tomorrow? I have enough on my mind right now, I don't need you in here quacking about some trivial....." "Our son isn't trivial, CC." "Little Channing? Is he sick? something wrong....." Gina assures him that the boy is just fine, that it's nothing about his health. Gina tells him that she had an interesting conversation with Elizabeth the day of the funeral and that when she mentioned Channing IV, Elizabeth acted surprised that she was his mother. An annoyed CC doesn't get Gina's point- so she hammers it in, telling him that Elizabeth brushed it off, saying that he had told her about all of his children, including the ones without Sophia. Yet, if she knew that Channing IV wasn't his son with Sophia, why wouldn't she ask about his mother? "This, THIS is what you're pestering me with? My wife just died, Gina, what Elizabeth does and doesn't know about Channing IV- well, so what? So what if she didn't ask who the mother was? Big Deal." "I just find it odd that she made a point of knowing that Channing wasn't Sophia's, yet she didn't know who's he was. It doesn't add up- why would you even be talking about him with her in the first place?" "It was conversation, Gina, we hadn't talked or seen each other in years and frankly, our relationship and the manner in which Channing IV was conceived aren't exactly part of the highlight reel of the last 40 years of my life. Now would you do me a favor and leave me to work in peace?" "I'll go, CC, but this isn't the last you've heard about it. I don't understand why you've let this woman have so much influence over you lately and why you're talking to her about MY son. I can promise you this- I'm gonna find out, with or without your help...." Gina turns and exits, leaving an annoyed CC rubbing his head with a pained look on his face. ----Ted sits in his office, looking at a picture of his mother and father at their second wedding. He's startled when Laken pops in. "Is this a bad time?" "No, not at all, come in. I could use a friendly face..." Laken smiles and walks in, admiring the picture of CC and Sophia. Laken tells Ted that she was always impressed with his mother and he concurs. Ted asks why the visit and Laken explains that she wanted to check in on him before she leaves for New York. He asks when she's leaving and she tells him she's actually en route to the airport right now, this being her last stop. Ted tells her he's disappointed her visit was so short and she laughs that she actually had to extend her stay for the funeral. Ted is surprised and thanks her for staying in town to support him and his family. She says that he was a very big part of her life once upon a time and that she will always care for him and worry, no matter how much time passes. He blushes and reminisces about some times in their wilder days, such as climbing on top of a billboard in Santa Barbara with Jake Morton on it. Laken laughs that she was just trying to push his buttons then, remembering happier times before. Laken tenderly tells him that no man has ever made her feel like he did when she was a girl. She walks up to him and plants a kiss on him. He stops and looks at her, then kisses her back, with some ferocity. ---Outside of the office, Lily is shown walking up, to check on Ted as well. She opens the door a crack and sees him making out with his ex-girlfriend. Without hesitation, Lily takes out her cell phone and begins snapping pictures. (EXT: Angel Ramirez's Home) ---Cruz pulls up in his car and knocks on Angel's door. Marta answers. "The cop. What do YOU want?" "I need to speak to your dad- he here?" "Leave my dad ALONE. Haven't you done enough?!?" Angel walks out his bedroom door and tells his daughter to let Cruz inside. Marta is resilient, telling Angel that if he won't put a stop to this, she will. Angel informs his daughter she'll be doing no such thing as he crosses in front of her and holds the door open for Cruz. Cruz walks in and Angel asks Marta to leave the room. Marta is hesitant, saying that she's not going to let Cruz convince her father to mix himself up any further. She says that the SBPD got what they wanted and they need to stop harassing her family. "Marta, you show some respect and go to your room. I'm an adult and I can handle my business without any help from my 20 year old daughter. Now GO!" Marta leaves and Cruz thanks Angel for defending him. Angel tells Cruz not to thank him so quickly, since he happens to think a lot of what Marta said was true. Angel asks Cruz just what it is he needs from him now. Cruz explains that though they were hoping he wouldn't have to, it looks as if Angel is going to have to testify against Carlos. Angel is resistant, saying that wasn't part of the deal- he was just supposed to help bring him in and that was to be it. Cruz explains that Carlos' lawyer has been able to get certain things thrown out and is trying to get Carlos off completely, saying that he was only present for said transaction, but had no part in either end of it. "Doesn't surprise me. Do you have any idea who you're dealing with here?" "Of course- I've watched this guy operate for years, it doesn't surprise me in the least that he's come out swinging." "Exactly and once he knows I'm on the witness roster for the prosecutor, what you think he's gonna do?" "You'll be protected at all costs." "Protected? That's a joke, right? You honestly think the SBPD can protect me and my family from Carlos Esteban? Hell, you needed ME just to put him in jail....." "It's the only way, Angel. The DA's office is willing to play hardball with you on this, if that's how you want to do it. They're not going to give you a choice...." "What u mean? I don't gotta do nothin...." "Your charge hasn't been dropped yet- without your testimony, the DA's office is refusing to grant you immunity." "What? The charge is bogus anyway....I was only doing any of this to help You guys with the investigation..." Cruz agrees and says he doesn't like it either, but the DA isn't budging so they have to go along with it. Cruz promises that he'll personally ensure his and his family's safety. "This coming from the guy that put me away for the past 20 years.....I'll protect myself, I did it for 20 years in the Joint, and I'll do it now." Cruz tells him that they need him to come in and give a statement and he agrees. Angel leaves with Cruz as Marta emerges from the opposite room, where she's been listening in. "This crooked system took my dad from me once.......I'll be damned if I'm going to let them do it again...." (EXT: Capwell Enterprises) ---Elizabeth sits in her office, typing up a report, when Keith Timmons stops in to see her. She remarks that she's had enough of his stalking and asks what he wants. "Stalking?" "You followed me yesterday from the funeral, and now here you are again..." "I was merely concerned is all- I didn't want you getting into an accident or doing something foolish over CC & Sophia..." "I don't need your concern, I'm just fine, thank you very much." Keith agrees that she is, noting that she looks sexy as ever. Elizabeth asks what Gina would think if she heard him talking about that and he insists Gina & he are merely friends. Elizabeth shoots back that they look like a lot more than that to her. "Okay, friends with benefits, but nothing serious." A slightly annoyed but flattered Elizabeth asks again what he's doing there and Keith informs her that he'd like to take her to dinner. Elizabeth asks why he'd want to do that and Keith says that he'd just like to get to know her better is all. She tells him she'll think about it. "What's to think about? A beautiful single woman having dinner in a nice restaurant with a distinguished, handsome man like myself? Can't imagine you'd turn that down...." "You obviously don't have a very vivid imagination. I'll think about it Keith..." Keith winks and hands her his business card, telling her to call him. Or perhaps he'll be in touch sooner. She holds onto it as he turns and leaves, bumping into CC on his way out. "CC- I'm surprised to see you here. Shouldn't you be at home in a robe, watching home movies of you & Sophia on one of your honeymoons?" Keith smirks at him as CC gives him the look of death, before turning to enter Elizabeth's office. "CC. I'm surprised to see you." she says "It's not a social call- this is business... what have you been telling Gina Blake?" "What do you mean?" "I mean she was waiting for me in my office, asking a bunch of questions about Channing IV and how you knew about him..." "Oh, that.....I'm sorry, it slipped out, I did my best to cover, but she just was relentless with her interrogation. Don't worry, she doesn't know anything and I'm going to keep it that way..." "Good. Because the last thing I need right now is for Gina to have any idea that I've amended my will so that Channing IV will inherit Capwell Enterprises and if I found out that you've told her anything about it.....I'll just say I won't be held responsible for my actions." CC turns and leaves, leaving behind an upset Elizabeth. She takes out Keith's business card and calls him, offering to go out for drinks instead of dinner..... (EXT: LONDON, Edmund's "Castle") ---Edmund enters Sophia's room, set up like a hospital, complete with machines, bed, and monitor. He sees her sitting up in her chair, wearing a gorgeous white robe. He flashes back, to his wife Loretta donning the same robe, and then flashes again to Sophia, the light hitting her just so, looking serene and pure in the robe. Sophia tells him of her concerns about her memory loss, saying that the events from the past week are just a blur to her. Edmund explains that the medication and the shots directly affect and break up the aneurism, saying that it's not uncommon for the patient to undergo short term memory loss from the drugs. He explains that the laser treatments they're beginning will have a similar effect on her, saying that she'll go in & out of conciousness, probably not remembering conversations she had while awake. Sophia asks how her family is taking everything and Edmund again reminds her that her family thinks she's on an extended business trip and they have no idea about her actual condition. Sophia wishes desperately that she could remember telling them that but she doesn't. All she remembers is feeling light-headed on New Year's Eve and waking up in a car with Edmund on the way to the airport, seemingly days later. Sophia begins to cry, saying she can't remember saying good-bye to her own children or husband, damning the condition that she is in. Edmund tries to calm her, insisting that she cannot get agitated while undergoing the treatment. Sophia begins to wail further, saying she misses her family and she doesn't like the confusion she's experiencing. Edmund offers her something to calm her down and she refuses it. Edmund insists, restraining her and asking if she wants to get better so she can be with her loved ones again. "Of course I do." "Then take the pill, Sophia. Your blood pressure is racing I'm sure and these hysterics are doing you only harm and no good." Sophia looks at him, still crying, but slips the pill in her mouth and drinks her water. She lays back down in her bed, drifting off to sleep as Edmund's voice soothes her, telling her that everything will be alright so long as she does as he says. The camera zooms in on Edmund as he stands over Sophia. "Sleep well, Sophia, sleep well.. There is much work to be done but you and I- we can do anything if we work together and that we will. Welcome Home, my love....." THE END...............for TODAY

Hehe, I'm getting a late start tonight but it will be up in an hour or two.....promise! Oh and thanks so much for the compliment Tish! ETA: I changed it back Teri. Sorry- I always edit my comments if something isn't right as I assumed it was. I'm nitpicky I guess!

Hehe, thanks tk! Hot today, wasn't it? Crazy weather this year...... Anyhoo, maybe on the next interview I post, I'll insert a picture of me so you all can see what I look like.

Actually Tish, here's the background on those sites I mentioned: I used to visit the Cruz2Eden board regularly, especially when Marcy was fired from AMC. When I started the blog up, I noticed some new members had joined the site & were viewing the blog. I had no idea how they found out about it because I only had posted info about it on SON. I noticed unicorn (Wendy) had a site listed in her profile so I visited and found the CC & Sophia Yahoo group. Much to my surprise, they had taken notice of 'RTSB' before it had even started- there were already a few messages sent out linking to it. I joined the group and found out from Wendy that a link was sent out by someone who ran a SB Tape Trading Site and she just relayed the info from there. After I realized this, I checked out some other SB-related sites including lane-davies.com and the Cruz2Eden message board. Much to my surprise, they had already been talking about it on those sites as well. I was absolutely floored that word had spread about it in the SB online community! Now, I visit the sites semi-regularly and even receive comments from people who didn't join SON. I've re-connected with some of my old SB pals (Hi Marlena!) and made some new friends in the process. Shannon (sb84fan) and Wendy (unicorn) really got the word out and I just hope now that 'RTSB' is living up to their expectations as well as everyone who has decided to check it out.

That's what I figured. Plus, it puts more pressure on me to get the episodes out on time!!! By the way, I LOVE your siggy. Honestly, the best thing that could come from 'RTSB' would be enough people talking about 'SB' and interested in it again that Soapnet takes notice & re-airs it. It's a stretch, but we can wish, right? WOW! That's SO cool of you to say- thank you so much! You're obviously a dedicated fan to catch up on 34 episodes in 6 days! Look forward to hearing from you now that you're all caught up!

Everything on the right side of the screen is contained in a content block- users, months, recent comments, cast list, etc...... So the schedule will now be on the right side of the screen at all times, under the cast list. Look for the change later tonight when I post the schedule.

That's what we at SONBC would like to know- this week, on "Return To Santa Barbara", Sophia, the long-suffering matriarch of the Capwell clan was killed off! But at the end of Saturday's episode, viewers saw Sophia alive and awake(!) on a plane with Dr. Edmund Lavery. So just what's going on here? To get to the bottom of it, SONBC took the opportunity to sit down and chat with the creator and exec producer of 'RTSB', juniorz1. SONBC: Welcome. juniorz1: Thanks for having me. SONBC: Let's get down to business- what's up with Sophia? Is that the real Sophia we saw on Saturday? juniorz1: Yes, that's our Sophia, alive and well on the plane with Edmund. A LOT will be explained on Monday this week- through flashbacks, we'll learn exactly how Edmund made it appear that Sophia was dead. We'll also learn more about his past with CC and the real reason for his hatred of the man. Pay attention. There's some foreshadowing of what's in store for Sophia. SONBC: Where are they heading? juniorz1: Back to London. Remember our previous interview where I said the action would be split between Santa Barbara and London? This is the beginning of that. SONBC: Interesting. I do recall you saying that, now that you mention it.... juniorz1: The locations I've been mentioning in 'RTSB' may play into storylines down the road, as you'll soon find out. SONBC: So in the meantime, Sophia's family thinks she's dead..... juniorz1: Yes, and there still is a chance she could die. Medically, she still needs the treatment from Edmund if she's going to live without the aneurism. SONBC: True. Any tidbits on what's going on with the Julia/Mason/Mary triangle? juniorz1: Obviously, that's going to play for a while and will take some time to resolve. These are two very different women and two very different relationships for Mason. For the first time, they are coming in conflict. It's a situation Mason never dreamt he'd be in.........nor Julia, for that matter. The story Mary's telling him about the baby isn't washing, though. So much of it doesn't make sense- ESPECIALLY the fact that Mark McCormick is alive and well. They'll be on the hunt for him to get some answers. Mason's going to be asking a lot of Julia and she's really going to be tested as far as how much she can take. She may surprise herself. SONBC: What else can we expect to see? juniorz1: This week kicked off a very big storyline- the umbrella tale that I talked about early on when 'RTSB' started. This coming week, Ashton Lavery will be introduced and revealed as Kelly's new husband! Ashton will play a key role in this story as everything unfolds. There will come a point where a few MAJOR events have happened, one story seemingly unrelated to the next. But just wait- this story is going to have a ripple effect that will touch much of the cast. SONBC: How about Cruz & Eden? We know you're a big A & Marcy fan, yet surprisingly, Cruz & Eden have taken a back seat for much of the series. juniorz1: Hey, at least they're happy, right? So far, the couples that are heavily featured are in complete and utter turmoil, are you wishing that on my Eden & Cruz too? SONBC: I see your point. I'm kind of afraid to ask now. juniorz1: Too bad because you already did. Cruz & Eden have some stuff coming up with the Ramirez family. It's going to be another one of those stories where everything is not what it seems. It's going to start off one way and head into a completely different stratosphere from where it seemed it would go. That story will hit the frontburner shortly and will lead to a huge mystery mining the rich history of Cruz & Eden. So don't be jealous Mason/Julia & CC/Sophia fans- I'm not playing favorites & Cruz/Eden will be just as tortured as the others, probably even more so. SONBC: That's a scary thought. I can't imagine what could be worse than what's happened to CC & Sophia. juniorz1: Unfortunately for you (and them), I have. SONBC: We're just about out of time. Anything else you care to add? juniorz1: Just a couple of quick things. First, thanks to everyone who has read it and commented on it, whether it be on SON, or through message groups or other Santa Barbara message boards (shouts to CC & Sophia group on Yahoo, lane-davies.com, and my friends on the Cruz2Eden board!). your thoughts & comments mean a lot. 'RTSB' jumped back to #1 in the SONBC ratings again this week with nearly 900 views- thanks all of you for your continued interest and support! Also, today, I'll be adding a new content block on the right of the screen, where the weekly schedule will be posted. The block will be updated every Sunday. And don't miss Episode 35 on Monday! See you there!

Look for a News Item to be released tomorrow or Monday which will basically be an interview about this storyline, and touch on some others as well. As for the end of today's episode, some things will be explained in flashbacks on Monday.

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm (EXT: The Capwell Mansion) ----Kelly walks down the stairs and stops in the foyer when she sees something she never has before: her father, sitting at the dining room table, crying with the newspaper in front of him. She quietly walks up to him and gently kisses him on the cheek. "That's a beautiful picture Warren used....." "There isn't a photograph of your mother where she didn't look beautiful. She represented everything that was good and right in this world- that kind of beauty you cannot hide." Kelly puts her arm around her father and takes the seat next to him as he continues. "They cremated her you know. It's how she wanted it. She always told me she never understood why on earth someone would want their dead body on display for all to see when they passed........................Why, why did it have to be your mother? She didn't deserve it, and to know that her brain completely shut down...........Why wouldn't she told me she was sick? I could have done something, helped her...." "Don't beat yourself up daddy. There's nothing that you or anyone else could've done- you heard Ben & Mary- mama had an aneurism. And it burst. It was her time, dad. It was her time to go...." "I don't believe that- she had so much in her, so much left to offer....." CC mentions that over 2000 people attended the public memorial services the previous day. He says that today's services are for friends and family only. Kelly asks him about Sophia's sister, Elizabeth. CC tells her that it's unlikely that she'll be attending the funeral. Kelly says that Ted filled her in some on what went on with Elizabeth, Sophia, and Capwell Enterprises. Kelly asks why they hate each other so much and CC explains that it's about things that happened a lifetime ago, much of it having to do with their father. Kelly shrugs and wonders why, if Elizabeth hates Sophia so much, would she bail out her husband's company from a takeover attempt? (EXT: Capwell Enterprises) ----Kathleen pops into Elizabeth's office and asks if she can have the rest of the day off to attend Sophia's memorial service. Elizabeth tells her that it's fine and Kathleen wonders if she'll be going as well. Elizabeth claims that somebody has to be at the office today, since everybody else is out. "But she's your sister. You're not going to go to her funeral?" "No, I'm not. Now if there's nothing else.....I have a ton of things to do today...." Kathleen leaves, as Gina approaches. Gina is dumbfounded that Elizabeth wasn't even going to the funeral and asks why. Elizabeth tells Gina that it's certainly none of her business, turning the tables and asking if she'll be attending. "Actually, I am. I have a son by CC- Channing IV, and he's devastated by his step-grandmother's death." "YOU? You're Channing IV's mother? You and CC?" "Yes......well, sort of. It's a long story." Elizabeth is taken off guard and angered by this. She informs Gina that she'd rather not hear the details of it and that she needs to get back to work. Gina persists with the questioning of Elizabeth about Sophia, saying that the shrew must have done something horrible for Elizabeth not even to attend her funeral. Elizabeth says she's had quite enough of her for one day, as she walks her to the door. Gina stops cold right at the doorway and turns around. "Just one thing- My son, when I spoke about him, you acted as though you'd recognized the name.....seen it before somewhere. Has CC talked about him before?" "He has. He's told me about all of his children, including the ones not with my sister....." "You never asked who his mother was? Kind of odd that it wouldn't be mentioned, since he told you Channing IV wasn't Sophia's son...." "No, I didn't ask. Satisfied? Now good-bye Gina" she says, slamming the door on her face. Gina stands outside the door, with a suspicious look on her face...... (EXT: Mason & Julia's House) ----Mason finishes getting ready and comes downstairs, where Julia is waiting alone for him. He asks where Samantha is and she tells him that she went on ahead with Rafe and Adriana. Julia says that she's glad that he's been home the past couple of nights, but with everything going on, they still haven't had a chance to talk. "We will Julia, I promise you that...." "How about now?" "With everything going on with the funeral today and my family.....can't it wait one more day..." "No, Mason, it can't...." She tells him that it was devastating for her to see him with Mary in the Capwell Hotel lobby the day after Christmas, after he didn't so much as call for the holiday. She says that she knows that she wasn't honest with him about Mary and for that, she's sorry. But that it didn't give him license to fly off the handle, drinking, getting arrested, and disappearing for the holidays in subsequent order. Julia then asks him point blank if he's in love with Mary. Mason stands there silent and as he begins to speak, someone knocks at the door. Julia goes to answer and sees Pamela standing there, in her black dress & veil. She turns to Mason and says he'd better do something. "What? I should be there to pay my respects. I may not have liked Sophia, hated her even. But she raised my son...." Mason quietly says she'd better not plan on making a scene because he's not having it. Pamela insists she'll be on her best behavior, she'll come late, sit in the back, and even keep her veil down if it helps the family. Julia is skeptical about Pamela's motives, eyeing her as she wraps Mason around her finger.... (EXT: Chapel) ----CC arrives with Kelly and sees that Eden, Cruz, Ted, Angela, Adriana, Samantha and Rafe are already there and have been greeting people as they arrived. CC apologizes for not being there sooner but Eden tells him they understand. Eden asks if he's sure that he's up for giving the eulogy and he insists he'll be fine, saying that he owes it to his wife. Santana and Rosa arrive to pay their respects, as people begin filing in. CC, Eden and Ted greet people as they arrive, while Cruz, Angela, and Adriana seat them. CC is thrilled when he sees little Channing running up to him to give him a hug. CC picks his boy up and squeezes him tight, admiring how handsome he looks in his suit. Gina approaches him, while Keith and Lily go and get their seats. "Thanks for bringing him Gina." "I thought he should be here, he's old enough now. I thought it'd help a little....." "It did. Very much. Thank you." "Of course. And CC........I'm sorry about Sophia." "Thank you." They bask in the rare moment between the two of them before Channing IV takes Gina to her seat. The Lockridges arrive and Lionel thanks CC again for allowing him to see Sophia, with Augusta standing there listening. Augusta excuses herself when she sees Mary arriving across the way. "Well, Mary Duvall, welcome back from the dead!" "Hello Augusta." "It's kind of ironic, in a sad way, that you came back to life as Sophia lost hers." "That's a sick thing to say." "No more sick than letting people think you're dead for 20 years, only to re-appear in their lives as if nothing's happened." "I'm not having this conversation with you." Mary begins to walk away but Augusta grabs her by the arm. "You stay away from my sister's husband. You chose to let Mason think you were dead and you should live with the consequences. Julia has built a life with Mason and while I may not think highly of him, she loves him. They have something you cannot touch- a nineteen year passionate, however tumultuous, relationship that includes a daughter that you weren't around for. My sister will not pay the price for your foolish choices...." "I don't intend for anyone to pay any price Augusta. If you'll excuse me- I'm going to pay my respects to the family." ---Gina takes her seat by Keith and Lily. She mentions to Keith that Elizabeth isn't even coming to the funeral which she finds peculiar. She also says that when she told Elizabeth about Channing IV, she acted surprised that Gina was his mother, even though she obviously recognized the name. "Maybe CC mentioned him...." "That's what she said, but she claimed to know that he wasn't Sophia's son, and she didn't bother to ask CC who his mother was? Doesn't make sense...." "There's a lot about her that makes little sense.....I think it's time I got to know our Elizabeth a little better...." "And how do you plan on doing that?" Keith smiles at her, devilishly. "Charm goes a long way, especially with ladies Elizabeth's age...." Their attention is re-focused, as everyone takes their seats and the service begins. First, Eden gets up to speak about her mother. Eden says that their relationship was rocky at times but she could count on her mother's wisdom in her times of need. Eden mentions that their was much animosity between them but they had worked past it and she had forgiven her mother. Eden goes on about the respect and generosity that Sophia showed everyone who she came in contact with, even strangers. As Eden is speaking, Pamela quietly takes her seat with her veil down. Eden says that the relationship she had with her father was an inspiration for her and says that he'll be continuing with the rest of her eulogy. Elizabeth enters the chapel as CC gets up to speak. He locks eyes with her and slightly smiles to show his approval of her being there. She takes remains standing in the back, as Keith turns around to see her. Keith says to Gina that he thought she wasn't coming....and Gina insists she said she wouldn't be there. CC starts talking about how Sophia was the love of his life and he doesn't know how he'll ever go on without her. He says that their relationship was a struggle but her strength, wisdom, and courage gave him his own strength when with her. He talks about the early days of their marriage and what how happy he was when she was pregnant with Channing. Augusta looks at Lionel, remembering that he was actually the father of the child, unknown to CC at the time. He says that he couldn't have asked for a better woman to be the mother of his children. Elizabeth hears this and can take no more, turning and leaving the chapel. Keith notices this and tells Gina he's going to leave. Gina tells him it's disrespectful for him to get up & go while CC is speaking. "I think they've come to expect that from me by now...." Keith gets up and follows her as CC continues with his speech. He goes on about Sophia's death the first time and how he was unable to cope or get through it. He talks about being reunited with her, all those years later, and though he was so angry with her, he was more thrilled to have her back. Julia listens to this and looks at Mary across the room, then looks over at her husband. CC says that the past years with Sophia were a joy as his whole life with her was and that he wouldn't have traded them for anything, nor changed anything that happened during that time, both good and bad. CC continues his speech about Sophia, as the camera pans around the room at all of the guests- Eden, Cruz, Kelly, Ted, Angela, Mason, Julia, Mary, Lionel, Augusta, Warren, Laken, Kathleen, Joann, Santana, Rosa, Gina, Keith, Lily, Channing IV, Ben and finally settling on Pamela, who lifts her veil to reveal a sinister smile on her face. (EXT: Jet, Flying in through the air) ---CC's speech is still heard as the camera focuses on Edmund, with a person sleeping next to him on his private plane. His assistant comes back and informs him that the they're landing and he'll need to buckle himself and his guest. He thanks her and fastens his seatbelt, and works on the sleeping person's. Startled the person wakes up and the camera zooms in on the face........SLEEPY "Where are we? What's going on?" "We're landing, Sophia. Go back to sleep. You need your rest......" Sophia weakly shuts her eyes and fades back to sleep. The screen splits between she & Edmund and CC finishing her eulogy. THE END..................for the week

Hehe, I won't- it will be up sometime in the early part of the evening.

I'm sorry guys, I know you're waiting for it, but Friday is just a BUSY, BUSY day for me- and a long one at that! I don't know why I keep trying to schedule a late night episode on Fridays because every week, the same thing ends up happening! From now on there will be no more episodes scheduled for Fridays- instead, the last episode of the week will be scheduled for Saturdays. Again, I apologize to those who have been waiting for it to go up- unfortunately, you'll have to wait one more day................ Promise it will be worth the wait.

All I can say is make sure you check out tomorrow's episode.

oops, double post

Am I the only one who's sick of waiting for the link to the picture of Greta's mystery lover? I wanna know damnit! Looking forward to more Billie/Julie. Poor Jack. If only Billie would return his sentiments, but I fear self-destructive Billie Reed with continue along her path. And way to go Stephanie! Steve deserved every bit of that slap!

Again, I really like how you're penning Steve & Kayla's storyline. Loved Victor & Kate's unholy alliance. And I like where you're going with Marlena- I get the feeling she's about to get a story all her own.

Solid episode KR! Loved the Raven's feather and especially the ending with Megan & Jan! You're doing a really good job crafting this storyline- this killer seems to be very meticulous so far. Cutting poor Celeste's vocal chords? Now that's scary stuff.

I realllly want to know who the MCF is. Can't wait for that reveal! As for Marlena, I have my theories on what's going on there......but I bet they don't compare to what you guys have in mind. Can I just say that I can't stand Victor? This is the Victor I remember......and hated so much. I really like what you're doing with Victor, Bo, and Philip- it's certainly intriguing. I like seeing Maggie a lot, but she's always whining, pining, b!tching, or moaning. Makes me wish she'd stay at home with Alice sometimes! GREAT work you guys!

http://santabarbara-online.com/GeneriqueDebutUS.rm (EXT: Santa Barbara Medical Center) ----The Capwells, Lockridges, and Andrades stand mystified by what they've just heard. CC asks if there's anything that can be done and Ben informs him that according to the readings, there is no brain activity. He informs the family that only the machines are keeping her alive. "Then you're saying she is alive?" "Technically, she is, but as I said, there is no brain activity. She will never wake up and will remain forever in the state that she is in now. Without the machines keeping her alive, her body would immediately shut down. I'm so sorry. But there isn't any hope...." "I want a specialist- another opinion. This is my wife we're talking about, damnit!!" "CC," Mary consoles, "You could bring in an entire team of specialists and we could keep her body running for days or even weeks on end. They'll tell you the same thing. I told you I'd be right there with her and I have been......we've done everything we can do......there is nothing else left. I'm so sorry." Mary begins to tear up. "I loved her too. I was her nurse once you know. I wouldn't be saying this if it weren't the truth...." CC looks at Mary and then looks over at his & Sophia's three devastated children. He looks directly into Eden's eyes as she continues to cry, but nods with her approval. Finally, his voice cracking, CC is able to get back up the gumption to speak. "Can we see her? I'd like to be with her when they disconnect them.....and I think my family would like a chance to say good-bye...." "Sure. Of course- I have no problem with that. Take all the time you need." ----Augusta tells Lionel that she thinks they should give the family space to grieve. Laken and Warren agree with their mother, and say their good-byes to their respective loved ones. They head downstairs with Augusta starting to follow when she turns around to see Lionel hasn't moved. She heads back toward him. "Lionel, please, the Capwells may not be my favorite people in the world but their wife & mother is dead. We shouldn't be here any longer...." Lionel ignores her and approaches CC. "CC, would it be already if I had a minute with her? Before the family starts going in there..." CC looks at his long-time rival, seeing the devastation and loss in his eyes. "Alright, Lionel, go ahead. Don't be in long though..." "A couple of minutes, CC, a couple of minutes...." Lionel walks away toward the room, leaving Augusta alone. Julia approaches her sister and hugs her. "Julia, I'm so sorry. I really am. I shouldn't be here though. Tell CC.....tell.....just tell him I'm so sorry for his loss..." Julia bids her sister good-bye and turns around to see Mary now sitting next to Mason, consoling him. Eden sees Julia watching them and approaches her. The two women look at each other and Julia begins to cry, overwhelmed by all the emotions filling her at once. Eden sees this and starts breaking up herself, as the two women hug. ----Santana sees Rosa, sitting down and saying her rosary. Santana sits down next to her and takes her mother's hand in hers. "I should have done something!" Rosa says to her daughter "What could you have done? You didn't have any idea..." "But I did mija. Sophia confided in me about it. She didn't want the rest of the family to know or to worry about her. She was actually planning on doing some experimental treatment to try and beat it. I advised against it but looking back now, I wish I hadn't- I'd do anything to have Sophia still be here with us. Poor CC. He didn't even know- there are probably many things he would have done differently these past months had he known....." "None of that is your fault mama- Sophia chose not to tell them, you were respecting her wishes." Rosa has trouble seeing it that way, saying that she'd be livid with anyone if they'd helped Ruben keep a secret like that from her. It dawns on Santana that Sophia's dying is reminding Rosa of when her own husband passed away. Santana hugs her mother and tells her that Sophia wouldn't want her beating herself up over it. ---Lionel enters Sophia's room, seeing her laying there, completely helpless and motionless. Lionel breaks down and says that he can't stand seeing her like this. He tells her that he's never loved another woman the way he loved her and that there will always be a piece of his heart that is hers alone. He tearfully recounts the mistakes they'd made over the years and the life-long friendship that their affair blossomed into. He says that he wouldn't have traded his times with her for anything and that the world will be worse off without her presence. He wishes her good-bye, kissing her forehead, telling her he hopes to see her in the next life. Lionel leaves and Mason comes in with Julia. Mason tells Sophia that she is good and so undeserving of what life has dealt her. He remarks that only the good die young, mentioning it being unfair that someone as scummy as himself is sure to live a life as too long as hers is too short. Mason says that he looked at her like a mother and even though he still has Pamela, he'll still feels like he's losing his mother today. He breaks down into sobs and Julia tenderly takes his hand. With their hands together, she guides him over to Sophia's hand. Julia kisses her fingers and places them on Sophia's lips, quietly offering a tender good-bye. They leave and Rosa walks in, immediately taking Sophia's hand while sitting next to the bed. She tells her that she was only always more than an employer to her- she was a friend. She says she looked up to her as a woman with morals and values and kindness, and felt that though she herself was poor and Sophia was rich, that Sophia was deserving of everything she had in life and more. Rosa tearfully wishes her friend good-bye, kissing her on the cheek, and telling her to take good care of Ruben and Channing up in Heaven. Rosa exits as Ted & Angela walk in. Ted is unable to even speak when he sees his mother lying there in that state. He immediately breaks down into sobs, not even able to utter the word "mom." Angela holds her husband as he breaks down even further. "I can't do this....I'm sorry, I can't do it....." he sobs to his family as he's exiting, with Angela at his side. The family looks at him, getting even further upset. Kelly, Cruz, and Eden enter her room next. Kelly approaches the bed first. "Mama.....it's me....Kelly. Your baby girl, your little trouble maker. I remember when I was a little girl, Eden used to be able to do things that I wasn't allowed to do, like wear make-up, or stay out late, or date boys. I remember one day I was so upset with you because Eden got to stay up late one night and I had to go to bed. I complained and whined to you that Eden got to do everything first just because she's older. And you asked me why I wanted to grow up so fast? And you told me that being older wasn't all it was cracked up to me.........Oh mama, I don't know what I'll do without you, without your strength and your wisdom...I...oh..." Eden takes her sister's hand and comforts her, crying herself. Cruz steps up to Sophia's bedside as Kelly and Eden stand watching him, holding each other's arm around the other. "Mrs. C- you're a good lady, always good to me. You've kept Mr C in line the whole time I've known ya and that's no easy task. You've shown me nothing but love and acceptance since making me a part of your family and I look at you and Mr. C as my second parents." Cruz wipes his nose, fighting back his tears. "You don't deserve this, not yet- you got so much more life left in ya............" Eden looks at her husband as a tear rolls down his face. She walks up to him and and rubs his shoulders as he leans over her mother's side. Eden walks in front of him and brushes her mother's hair back from her face. "Mama....We haven't had the easiest mother/daughter relationship or the most normal for that matter......but I wouldn't want to call anyone other than you mother. The strength, courage, and values you've instilled in all of your children will continue to stick with us for the rest of our lives. You will live on through each one of us- Ted got your sweetness and kindness, Kelly, your looks and charm. And myself.....I've always seen a lot of myself in you and vice versa, though I didn't necessarily want to at one time in my life. But we've grown so much and through at all, your love for me was always unconditional, even when I placed conditions on my love for you. I hope......(she begins to break up).....I can only hope that I've raise my daughter, Adriana Sophia, to be half the woman that she was named after. I love you mama" She bends down, kissing her mother on the cheek. CC walks in and the three exit, giving him time alone with his wife. After they leave, CC takes a good look at his wife and begins to weep. "You were the love of my life, the light in my day. How can you do this to me? How can you expect me to go on living without you? I need you, by my side, telling me what a fool I'm acting like or making me appreciate the things around me, like my family, my wife......I've spent most of my life married to you and all of it worth remembering in love with you. You are the most beautiful, graceful, elegant woman to ever grace this forsaken world with your presence. The world will lose an angel today and Heaven will gain one. I know you'll be forever with me and watching over me and your children.....but you know me.....I'm selfish and greedy and I want you here. I'd give anything to have that. I should be the one in that bed, damnit, it should be me. Oh God, not Sophia, not my wife, my beautiful Sophia......." He bends down and tenderly presses his lips on hers, the tears from his cheek falling onto Sophia's stilled, motionless face. Ben walks into the room. CC comes up from kissing his wife and looks at the doctor. "Are you ready?" Ben asks him. "To let go? I'll never be ready....." "I can understand that CC.....if you'd like some more time with her, by all means.....' "No. I don't want her suffering any more than she has to. It's time." CC kisses his wife's forehead and takes her hand, sitting beside her. Kelly, Cruz, Eden, Julia, and Mason all come back in the room. CC asks where Ted is and they tell him he went home, that he couldn't bear it anymore. Mary comes in the room, and gives the family a look. CC nods his approval as they begin unplugging the machines........... beep.....beep.......beep.......beep......... Mary unplugs the first machine, as CC clutches Sophia's hand, the family tearfully watching............ beep...............................beep..........................................beep..................................... Ben continues and takes out Sophia's IV. beep..................................beep............................beep.................. Mary finally unplugs the respirator. CC quietly whispers "Good-bye my love.......I'll always love you......" Beep.........................................beep.........................................beep.............................................................................. The heart monitor goes silent, the line flat. The camera pans around the room, passing by the anguished faces of Kelly, Mason, Julia, Cruz, and Eden, before settling on CC & Sophia, Sophia lying in the hospital bed, lifeless, with CC's sitting next to her, holding her hand to his face.......crying for his lost love..... THE END....................for today

Definitely excited about Roscoe Born's Jim McClure as well. Should be interesting, to say the least. Looking forward to the Marlena story as well.

I'm keeping a lid on it but I will say that things are not as they seem......

Neat episode. All the greats are in there and I'm a sucker for Luke calling Alexis 'Natasha'! Gets me every time. Episodes where you feature Scott Baldwin are my favorite. He hasn't ever been my favorite 'GH' character but you write to the attributes that I like about him. Very well done.

I like the storyline with Luke. Sad that he's drinking again though. Also, love how Katie only remembers loving Henry, though I'm not a fan of them as a couple (Matie lover here ) Still, I could picture it & love anything that puts Mike, Katie, and Henry in story together. Good job Dusty!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! I know who it is!! I know who it is!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT for this!!!
