All right, I've finally decided to come out of my lurking.... I've
been reading anything and everything, about S.B, in this
newsgroup for about a year.  I too, am very upset that it was 
canceled.  I live in the San Francisco bay area and they've replaced
S.B. with Another World!  They took that off about 8 months ago.  I
just really find I'm not feeling the same about soaps since S.B. 
went off the air. I watched it from day one until the end.  I keep
hoping some off the wall cable company will pick it up.  Anyway, 
enough about that.  I'm writing this post because I remember a 
different story about the Eden/Cain/Cruz triangle.  Let's see
if anyone agrees with me. 

|> >> 
He nursed her back to health and became obsessed with her.  
      	Yes, this is true.

Actually, she wasn't completely back to normal as she was partially 
paralyzed for awhile she couldn't walk).  
     	Actually, see started to walk by using a cane (I think it was
     	a tree branch) or crutches that Cain designed for her before 
     	she left.

So, she was basically at the mercy of Cain.  He kept
promising to return her to SB but really had no intention of doing so.
Eventually, she was rescued and returned to SB but I don't remember 
details here. 
	Yup, on the first two sentences.  However, she was not
	rescued.  She escaped.  I think Cain went to the local
	General Market to get some supplies and that is when she
	left.  She walked, or rather, limped down to the main 
	highway using the tree branch.  From there she got on a
	bus (probably Greyhound or something).  Then, she
	went directly to her and Cruz's house.  When she went to
	look in the window she saw Cruz kissing Elena.  Elena was
	CC's daughter through Pamela, and had been hitting on Cruz
	for quite some time.  Turns out she is the one who shoved
	Eden down the mountain and left her for dead.  She also 
	knew Cain's Vietnam past and forced him to keep Eden in 
	the cabin.  Cruz was ssooooo sad about Eden, he finally 
	kissed her (just when Eden looks in the window wouldn't you
	know it!) anyway, as soon as Eden left, he pushed her off.
	They then decide to go eat dinner at the Capwell Hotel.  I
	can't remember the name of the restaurant, but it was at the
	top of the hotel (remember Mary went up there and was killed
	when the big "C" fell on her?).  Meanwhile, Cain realizes that 
	Eden has escaped and heads for Santa Barbara.  Eden decides 
	her next stop shall be the Capwell hotel to see daddy-dearest.  
 	She some how makes it to the top of the restaurant without
	anyone seeing her, and who should be there eating but Cruz
	and Elena.  Cruz has his back to her, but all of a sudden, 
	he's holding a drink and turns around VERY SLOWLY with his
	mouth quite open.  When he see's her (he actually felt her
	prior to turning around, that's why he did it so slowly), he
	drops his drink and said something like "Oh my god".  Who
	should step out of the shawdows but psycho Cain.  He wraps
	his arm around her neck, and pointing a gun at Cruz tells
	him to back off.  He proceeds to get Eden into the elevator.
	Meanwhile, we see CC at the front desk of the hotel asking
	the clerk to check on the air condition.  Just then, the 
	elevator opens, and CC turns around to see the daughter he
	thought was long dead.  She looks at him with those pleading
	eyes only Marcy Walker could do and says "Daddy...."  CC, in
	one of his great scenes with Eden says "Baby....I love 
	you.  I'm going to help you" (or something like that). Cain 
	continues to head through the lobby, and here come Cruz and 
	Elena out of the stairs door.  I think as he is running out 
	he says something to CC like which way did they go.  When they
	get outside Elena takes aim and gets ready to shoot, when Cruz
	knocks her arm out of the way.  He asks her "what the hell she
	thinks she's doing?"  You can't shoot, you MIGHT hit Eden. Little
	did we know THAT'S exactly what she wanted to do.  Actually now
	that I think about it, she probably wouldn't have cared which 
	one she hit.  If she took out Eden she wouldn't have any 
	competition for Cruz, and if she took out Cain he couldn't tell
	anyone how she had blackmailed him into keeping Eden in the
	mountains.  The next scene is Sophia walking into the hotel, 
	and CC running over to her.  He tells her "baby, I've got the 
	best news.  I just saw Eden".  Sophia says, "don't joke about 
	things like that CC.  That's not funny".  He says, "no, you don't
	understand.  Eden IS ALIVE".  She of course can't believe it, but
	begins to get very excited.  The next scene is in some kind of a
	barn.  There is some kind of shoot out, where either can gets shot,
	or somehow hit from behind.  He ends up losing his memory over it, 
	but no one believes him.  That's when Elena goes into his hospital
	room and starts giving him grief about blowing it.  How she knows
	about what he did in Vietnam, etc.  Meanwhile, you see CC come 
	busting into the barn.  What follows is a very touching scence
	with him and Eden basically crying and telling each other how 
	much they love each other.  I didn't know you were still alive, 
	etc., etc..  Then, from all of the walking down the mountain, to
	getting to  the main highway, to catch the Greyhound, to seeing 
	Cruz kiss Elena, to going the the Capwell hotel, to being kidnapped
	at gunpoint, Eden collapses.  It turns out, she has overdone it, 
	and all of her rehabilitation up to this point, has been for naught.
	She has to start all over.  They take her to the hospital, and 
	within a day or two Elena comes to visit her.  I remember this 
	episode, because it was sssooo well written.  Of course, Eden 
	can't stand her, because she saw her kissing Cruz.  Elena of 
	course doesn't let on that there really isn't anything going on
	between them, but continues to basically needle Eden.  One classic
	line was, "Oh what are you going to do Eden?  Get up, and walk
	out of here?"  The other was "Oh, let me guess, you're going to
	roll over my feet with the chair so you can get out of here".  Eden
	finally has it when Elena puts her face to Eden's level, and 
	Eden gives her a big slap across the face!  Ouch...what a scene!
    
This wasn't the end of it, though.  Cain showed up in SB with the
intention of killing Cruz.  Obviously, he never accomplished his
mission,
but again I'm lacking in details.  
	Don't remember if was suppose to kill Cruz, but as his memory came
	back, he began to work with Cruz & Eden to put the pieces back
	together.  But before they figured out what really happened, Cruz
	Cain, and Elena opened a detective agency.  Or what it that guy
	who always dressed kind of like a slob, who was really very 
	wealthy.  Forget his name right now.  Anyone know who I'm talking
	about??
There was a beach party and she REALLY wanted to get up
and dance so badly that she had a dream of her and Cruz
slow-dancing.  Then some woman from SB (I think Tori?) asked Cruz to
dance and Eden looked like she was going to cry!  Can anybody
remember this!
	I, too, remember her dreaming about dancing with Cruz.  I 
	think he may have been dancing with Elena though.

Sorry this post was ssooo long, but I've got to re-live Santa Barbara
whenever I can!  Is it too late to post my vote for the favorite 
Mason?  I think Vivian sent it out.  I really loved Lane Davis, hated
the #2 Mason, and fell completely, head-over-heels, in love with Gordon
Thomas.  His facial expressions, his Shakesperian quotes, his southern 
accent...need I say more?  He and Julia had wonderful chemistry.  Much
warmer (in my humble opinion) than Lane Davis.  I wish I could keep 
writing, but I've got to catch my train!  Someone, anyone, please post
a response to this message so I know I didn't just spend an hour typing
for nothing!
