     Tension abounds on the "Bold and Beautiful" set today,
fans -- will the most promising theatrician seen on this
show in many a moon continue to grace the stage?  Will the
PTB ever buy a clue?  Be that as it may, or were, or ever
shall be, even if you ain't got a job you can still be a
fashion designer.  I guess.  You figure it out on Thursday's
episode of

     "The Bold and the Backhand",  starring
     
     Andre Agassi as Zach Hamilton (same hairstylist)
     Jennifer Capriati as Dr. Taylor Hamilton Hayes
Forrester (looks like her)
     Martina Navratilova as Sheila Carter  (will do anything
to win)
     Monica Seles as Brooke Logan Forrester (glamorous girl
with a shady reputation)
     Stefan Edberg as Thorne Forrester (blonde stud)
     Pete Sampras as Ridge Forrester (dark-haired stud)
     John McEnroe as Ganz ("pay me $100,000 K for a set, or
on the next bad line call, I kill a ball girl!")
     Steffi Graf as Stephanie Forrester (same name!)
     Jimmy Connors as Eric Forrester (patriarch)
     Goran Ivanisevic as Clarke Garrison (bad boy)
     Gabriela Sabatini as Macy Spectra Forrester (looks)
     Arantxa Sanchez Vicario as Felicia Forrester (looks)
     Jim Courier as Jack Hamilton (All-American Boy)
     Boris Becker as Sally Spectra (redhead)
     Ivan Lendl as Bill Spencer (typecasting)
     Katerina Maleeva and Manuela Maleeva-Fragniere as
Caroline Forrester Forrester and Karen Spencer (sisters)
     
     
     Thursday's episode:

     Clarke puts the ball squarely in Sally's court.  Sign
on the baseline, Sally, or it's game, set, and match to the
creditors!  Macy says to forget it, they won't lose to a
cheater.  But Clarke appeals -- you win the championship in
doubles and keep your company going, or you get aced in
singles.  Sally says he's right (Darla and Saul in
attendance) - we lose if we don't make Clarke team captain.
She tells Clarke to scram while the lawyers dot the i's.
She tells everybody to scram.

     Zach comes into the bar, hoping that Ganz is getting a
pre-match protein shake.  Nope, he's not even on the court.
He asks Bridgette if she's seen Ganz, providing description.
No, and did you hear about Rhonda?  Somebody attacked her
and...






The suspense is building...





Please, don't lose a set of doubles like that!




I mean, someone who shows true championship form...





...knocked her OUT COLD!  YES!  Rhonda pulled through!  She
can play on any surface.
     Zach remembers that Rhonda knew he and Felicia were
headed to Big Bear.  Uh-oh.

     Felicia is playing a defensive game against Ganz, but
he's controlling the net.  She tries to keep him out of the
open court, but a savage backhand sends her reeling.
Felicia runs to the kitchen and counters with a forehand
knife, but Ganz is unfazed and pulls out his most formidable
weapon, a .38 caliber two-handed backhand volley.  Felicia
drops the knife -- game to Ganz.

     Sally is analyzing her match strategy when there's a
knock on the door.  Come in, Macy, Sally says.  I'm not
Macy, Jack says.  Sally is confused, doesn't know if Jack's
going to hit it crosscourt or up the line.  What're you
doing here?  she asks.  You've got a lot of nerve coming
back after...  The phone rings.  The banker makes a line
call, saying that Jack RETURNED the $20,000 with an extra
topspin $5,000.   Sally is muddled.  You left me all alone
in mixed doubles to play against Clarke!  she whines.
Sorry, I had to get my ankle taped, Jack explains.  But I
still owe you -- how about dinner?  Jack says to call him in
the office.  Sally doesn't know what to do -- is Jack a
contender or just a quarterfinalist?

     Zach is still awaiting Ganz courtside, holding the
prize money.  He's not showing.  Could Ganz have figured out
where Felicia is?  He makes a phone call.

     Ganz, dominating the second set, is about to handcuff
Felicia (with rope), when he gets a better idea.  NEVER
SECOND-GUESS YOUR MATCH STRATEGY!  He tells Felicia to
take her clothes off before they continue playing.  (They'd
never go for this at Wimbledon.)  Felicia valiantly resists,
throwing up defensive lobs as she rushes for the ringing
phone, but Ganz is in control and intercepts her shot,
pulling the phone out of the socket.  Set to Ganz.

      Felicia gets down to the basics.  Ganz is admiring her
lines, but Felicia is sure he's out of bounds.   He ties her
hands, then starts to get his racket out...  Advantage Ganz,
and now Ganz is serving for the match!

     Zach, worried that he can't connect and fired a mishit,
realizes that Ganz is playing singles for the championship
with Felicia, and he'd better get there before they reach
break point!  He jumps in the car, and the last we see is
coach Zach urging Felicia to "hang in there, 40 miles to
go..."


     Tune in tomorrow, when we might hear Jack Hamilton say:

     "I'll give you 5-to-1 that Ganz gets killed in the
tiebreaker."
