     While this would indeed be interesting, let's face facts.  It'd
be totally ridiculous.  How long has Drake been on the show?  At least
6 years, right?  And we still don't know a.  why Stefano had him  b.
what exactly Stefano did to him  or c.  anything whatsoever about this
plotline.  Now they're gonna say Stefano brainwashed Roman into
thinking he's John Black and the Forrest Alamain, somehow psychically
knowing he'd come into contact with the Alamains in the future?
What's the purpose?  (And BTW, did we ever find out the deal with
those damn codices?).  While I would love for Drake to be Roman again,
I just can't see the writers doing a story that is anything but
pathetic.

NO!  Not that!  Nightmare time here folks....Fade in to dream
sequence...

SOU announces that DOOL has rehired old fan faves Stephen Nichols,
Mary Beth Evans, George Jenesky, Charlotte Ross, and several others...

Steve returns to town.  Lawrence had nothing to do with his being held
hostage.  Ivan had drugged him and done it all.  Ivan flees town.
Kayla returns to town.  Kim, who is currently suffering from both
hysterical deafness and paralysis after being hit by
a car driven by a stoned Billie (who is now Salem's hottest interior
decorator) is happy to see her.  Steve hears about Shane and Kayla and
tells her he won't have anything to do with her.  He falls in love
with Carly.  MM and Eve return from Africa for the ceremony in which
the pope and Mother Teresa canonize Carly.  Eve makes a slightly
bitchy comment and MM lectures her and sends her to her room without
dinner, where she sighs and apologizes, swearing never to do it again.
At the ceremony, John, Bo, Steve and Lawrence all vie for the honour
of escorting Carly.  Meanwhile, Vivian has been plotting with a
strange person to kill Carly.  We then see Nick set a bomb under the
stage to blow up Carly, the pope, and Mother Teresa.  We find that
Jack has begun to think about a relationship with Carly as Jenn is
spending too much time at work.  

At the ceremony, Tom talks about all the wonderful work Carly has
done.  Billie thanks her for helping her quit drugs through the drug
rehab center she runs.  Austin plays piano as Billie sings something
inspirational.  Meanwhile, Bo and Carly are necking backstage and
doing it on the sound board.  They leave and don't notice they
jigg;led loose some wires and the place is catching on fire.  The
speeches continue.  Carly is canonized, and the bomb goes off!  Steve
sees Nick running away and shoots him.  Carly, unhurt by the
explosion, performs surgery on everyone, and they all recover withing
two days.  

At this point, Stephen, Mary Beth, George and Charlotte decide no job
is worth this shit.  So, they come up with a plan.  They take over the
cameras with the help of family and friends and go on air live.  They
explain their frustration to the audience.  Then, they all ad-lib some
of the best soap scenes ever seen on TV.  Matt and Missy and SSH all
decide to join in.  Ken Corday and Sherri Anderson can be heard
demanding to be let out of the janitor's closet.  After the show, they
all go out for pizza, awaiting their pink slips and the chance to say
"You can't fire me, I quit!".  But while sitting there, they are
informed by the head honchos at NBC that they did such a good job,
they're rehired, to be given better dressing rooms and more creative
control.  They all go back and tell CC, RKK, Scarrie, Billie, and
Asstin they're fired, and tell Patsy she's on probation.  And we all
live happily ever after.
