Subject: OLTL: Update for Tuesday, 11/10
Date: 11 Nov 92 00:39:03 GMT
Organization: Sophomore, H&SS general, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA

Well, I have to say that I'm disappointed.  Only THREE people attempted
to answer the trivia questions.  Are there no OLTL watchers out there?? 
Or are you all too busy to read the update?   sigh...

Here are the answers to last week's trivia questions:

1) Who kidnapped Bo and his wife Didi?

   The kidnapping was a plot of Elizabeth and Jamie Sanders, with help
from Kate's old beau (pun intended), Patrick.

2) Who kidnapped baby Jessica?

   Maria Roberts

3) Who stole Milagro from the South American Indians?  (and who is Milagro?)

   Roland and Leta figured out who he was and stole him in order to
ransom him off.  Milagro was, of course, little CJ.

And now, on to the update:

OLTL Update for 11/10

At the Buchanan residence, Blair is talking on the phone to Luna about
Max.  He's still unconscious and there's been no change.  Blair tells
Luna that if she needs anything, just call.  Money's no object.  Asa
walks in at this point and Blair hurriedly hangs up.  You look like
you've just seen a ghost, Asa comments, who was that on the phone?

At Llanfair, Kevin comes down the stairs, sees Joey in the library and
goes in to talk to him.  Joey says he's finding it hard to concentrate
on his homework 'cause he keeps thinking about Kevin's sleazy comments
about Viki and Sloan.  Kevin says he just brought it up to prove to Joey
that Clint's moving out has nothing to do with them (the kids).  Viki
comes in looking at the boys contemplatively while they look guilty. 
She looks like she's about to say something when the phone rings.  It's
Leeann.  She wants to know if Viki can bring Duke by later on.  Viki
hedges as Kevin looks suspiciously on.  They talk a little bit more. 
Viki promises to call her back later, and they hang up.  Leeann goes
back over to her bed and looks at a present that she bought for Duke. 
Just then, she gets a knock on her door.  She gets up to answer it, and
SURPRISE!!!  It's Jason.

**********

Jason and Leeann kiss.  She asks him if... well...  You think I escaped?
he asks.  Well, I didn't, he says.  For the first time in my life I
played by the rules.  Get this, they let me out for good behavior
(everyone's cue to laugh).  He tells Leeann that while he was in there,
he had a lot of time to think.  Leeann asks him what he thought about. 
He says that they can have everything they want, including Duke back, if
they just play by the rules.  They kiss again.

Asa questions Blair about the phone call.  She tells him that Max has
been shot.  Asa makes light of it, what, a jealous husband caught up
with him?  But Blair tells him that this is serious.  Max is critical. 
Asa is halfway to the bar (actually, he's about to lift the drink to his
lips), when Blair tells him that his drinking won't help anything.  He
apologizes, telling her she's right.  He asks her how she feels about
Max being shot.  What do you mean, she asks, looking a little at a loss.
 What I mean is, Asa says, is that you're standing here with me while
Max lies in a hospital in critical condition.  We've come a long way,
baby.

At Llanfair, Tina's pacing the room, worrying about Max when the phone
rings.  It's Cain.  He tells her that he has something important to tell
her.  Nothing you could tell me would be as important as hearing some
news about Max, she tells him.  Her hand's on its way to hang up on him
when he tells her to WAIT!!!  Tina, this is very important news.  Tina
goes off and totally tells Cain off, telling him that once again, all he
can thing about is getting even with Blair when Max is at Death's Door
(literally).  She SLAMS the phone down.

At the country club, Andrew runs into Dorian after speaking at a brunch.
 She asks him to join her.  He does.  She proceeds to tell him that she
hopes she hasn't made a mess of things.  She was really only trying to
help.  Andrew tells her that he understands perfectly (and he was
SINCERE about it!!!!!).  Dorian then asks him how Sloan's doing.  He's
fine, Andrew answers.  Dorian goes on about Sloan and Viki.  Andrew
tries to change the subject when who should appear but dear old dad. 
Andrew asks him to join them, but Sloan delivers the brain slap of the
week when he says, No thanks.  I'd rather stand in a foxhole knee deep
in ice water than sit at a table with THIS woman.  Andrew says, Whazzup
withat, Pops? 

**********

Chez Hesser, Alex comes in with a load of packages.  Morty is there
watching a dance video.  They discuss Carlo and all the things he was an
absolute wizard at.  But we still need to work on your love making
skills, Alex tells him.  She takes some article of clothing out of one
of her shopping bags (sorry, I couldn't tell exactly what it was) and
says, Why don't you slip into that, and I'll slip into something a
little less?  She goes upstairs to change.  Morty flashes back to his
dance with Renee, then takes out the scarf that she left behind (or that
he kept after the dance was over).  He goes off to see Renee.  Alex
comes down when the door closes and she is, indeed, wearing a little
less.  She sees that Morty's gone, then sees Renee's scarf.  She sniffs
it and says, THIS is the perfume my rival wears?

Above Wanda's, Leeann and Jason are in bed.  Leeann checks Jason to make
sure he's sleeping, then gets up to hide the present for Duke.  The
phone rings.  It's Viki.  She wants to know if Leeann's ready to see
Duke.  Leeann looks over at a sleeping Jason and says that now isn't a
good time.  At Llanfair, Kevin walks into the library and hears Viki ask
what about later this afternoon.  Leeann says maybe.  Viki assures her
that they'll meet before the day is out.  She hangs up and sees Kevin
standing in the doorway.  I didn't know you were there, she says. 
Apparently not, he says.  Give my regards to Sloan, he says before
walking out.

At the country club, Andrew again asks what's up.  He thought Sloan and
Dorian were friends.  Sloan tells Andrew about Dorian's pix.  Andrew
can't believe it.  You took pictures of Viki and my father? he asks. 
You're damn right, Dorian says, and proud of it too.  She and Sloan
begin to exchange barbs over the issue.  Andrew apologizes to his dad. 
He had really thought that Dorian was trying to help out (can even
Andrew be this naive?).

At the Buchanan's, Blair tells Asa that she's absolutely sure about her
feelings for Max.  Now I can take that two ways, Asa tells her.  She
says that the only person she can concentrate on right now is the person
growing inside her (awww, ain't that sweet?  NOT!)  Asa waxes poetic
about their son to be, then turns back into his old nasty self and tells
her that if she's lying about her feelings for Max, he will totally
destroy her.

**********

Kevin shows up at Wanda's just when Jason and Leeann are coming
downstairs.  Jason throws Kevin out.  After he's gone, Leeann sticks up
for him, telling Jason he oughtn't to have done that.  Why? Jason asks. 
Is there something going on between you and Kevin that I oughtta know
about?

Chez country club, Dorian says the pix prove that Viki and Sloan are
having an affair.  But she says she understands.  Viki turned on the
charm, and you're only human, Sloan.  She continues to draw and quarter
Viki.  Sloan tries to refute every charge.

At the Buchanans, Asa tries to get info on Max, but no dice.  He slams
the phone down in frustration and goes to get a drink.  Cain comes in
and tries to give Asa his info on Blair and her little business trip to
Georgia.  Asa goes off.  He tells Cain that he can't understand why he
and Blair (or is it him and Blair?) are always at each other's throats.

At Llanfair, Tina and Viki talk about Max before getting to the old and
boring story of Viki's marriage.  Tina tries to cheer Viki up, but Viki
blames herself for the marriage falling apart.  Tina says it's not her
fault.  Viki disagrees.  I let my feelings for another man go too far,
she laments.  What kind of person does that make me?  The same wonderful
person you always were, Tina answers.  Viki says she doesn't feel like
that same person anymore.  She doesn't know WHAT she feels anymore. 
Tina tells her that the only feeling she has to be sure of is her love
for Clint.  Does she still love Clint?  Viki asks what if she doesn't. 
Then it's best that he moved out, Tina says.  Don't say that! Viki says
in anguish.  Tina's face lights up.  Then that means that you still love
him.

**********

Viki tells Tina that she doesn't trust her feelings anymore.  Maybe
Dorian was right.  Maybe she IS in love with Sloan.  Dorian?  Right? 
Tina asks.  Come on.  They talk some more (I can't really remember the
particulars).  And then Tina tells her THAT SHE'S NOT A SAINT. 
(HALLELUJAH, somebody give that woman a cigar).  She's not perfect. 
She's a real person.  But can I really love two men at once? Viki asks. 
Tina says she understands how Viki feels.  She feels the same way.  On
the one hand, she wants danger and excitement and that's what Cain
represents.  But on the other, she wants her old life, the family, the
house, the children (does it look like Cord's coming back?).  In short,
she wants Cord back.

At the country club, Dorian and Sloan's argument is STILL raging.  He
tells Dorian that he and Viki are tied together through a spiritual
bond.  Yeah, tell me that when hell freezes over, Dorian replies and
exits.  Andrew asks his dad about his relationship with Viki.  Sloan
brings up the spiritual bond again.  Andrew's anxious about Dorian
putting those pix on the front cover of The Intruder, but Sloan says
nobody believes Dorian.  They all know what a smut peddler she is. 
Andrew isn't so sure about that.  He tells his dad that Clint believes
it and that he's moved out of Llanfair.

At the Buchanan residence, Cain tells Asa that he didn't come to start
trouble.  He just wants to warn him about Blair.  NO MORE!!!  Asa
bellows.  I don't want to hear anything more about it.  But I just want
to protect you, Cain says.  I don't want you to get hurt.  I'm Asa
Buchanan, I don't need protection, Asa rages.  I don't get hurt.  He
tells Cain that if he ever tells him anything that destroys his marriage
to Blair, he'll destroy them both.  But isn't that a little bit like
killing the messenger? Cain asks.  You're damn right! Asa says, then
leaves.

At the Palace, Morty daydreams of dancing and kissing Renee when Mummy
dearest shows up.  Apparently, Alex called her and told her that Morty
had been a bad boy and skipped out on his lessons (shame on you,
Morty!).  Yes, I suppose I did, Morty says in his Carlo voice (I think
he's beginning to use it unconsciously now).  He tells her he's in love.
 Well you have a funny way of showing, Mummy says, skipping out on her
like that.  Not with Alex Hesser! Morty says impatiently.  With Renee
Buchanan.  ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR COTTON PICKIN' MIND? Mummy asks.  Do you
know what you could lose, she says as she fingers the diamond A.  Yes,
Morty answers.  But Renee's worth it.

**********

Mummy dearest tells him that he can't be in love with Renee.  She
absolutely forbids it.  It's too late, he says.  It's destiny.  She
tells him he doesn't know what he's feeling.  But he tells her that he
knows EXACTLY what he's feeling.  Then we can't tell Alex, mummy says. 
Not only is she wacko, but she's a jealous wacko.  A dangerous combo. 
Alex storms into the restaurant, thrusts the scarf into Morty's face and
demands to know who the other woman is.  Oh, THERE it is, Lady Berne
says, taking the scarf.  I've been searching all over for this scarf. 
It's my favorite scarf in the WHOLE, ENTIRE world.  Alex looks
suspicious.  She sniffs the scarf, sniffs Mummy Dearest, and looks
satisfied.

At Wanda's, Jason and Leeann continue to argue about Kevin.  She tries
to convince him that Kevin is changing.  Why just the other day, he
brought Duke over to see her (did this really happen?).  Jason still
doesn't buy it.  He thinks Kevin had an ulterior motive.  We have to try
to put the past behind us, Leeann says.

At Llanfair, Kevin walks in upon Tina and Viki.  He makes as if to
leave.  No, please stay, Viki says.  Tina makes a swift exit, telling
Kevin to talk to his mother on her way out.  Viki tries to get Kevin to
talk, but he's not budging.  Finally, he tells her he's hurting because
Clint's not there.  Viki says she thinks Kevin resents and blames her
for Clint not being there when really, the issue's a lot more
complicated than that.  It wasn't just one person's fault.  But Kevin
has other ideas.  The reason Dad left is Sloan Carpenter, he states
baldly.  You wanna talk about Sloan Carpenter, Mom?

At Buchanan's, Cain and Blair talk.  He tells her he knows all about her
jaunt to North Carolina to visit Max.  He stands there, gloating.  Blair
looks like a cornered rabbit.  What do you want? she asks.  Why, I've
got everything I want, Cain says.  Victory.  I DESPISE YOU! Blair says
with narrowed eyes.  Gracious, even in defeat, Cain replies.  Again she
asks him what he wants.  He tells her that the game is up.  He's won. 
All she has to do is get out of Asa's life and won't spill the beans
(now let's just see if Blair calls his bluff).

At Llanfair, Kevin asks Viki if she loves Sloan.  I don't have to stand
here and take this, she says and is halfway out the door when Kevin
stops her.  He tells her that he's seen how she looks when she's with
Sloan.  That she looks happy.  He tells her that she has to get Sloan
out of her life now if she loves Clint.  He sees the same thing
happening to his parents that happened to him with Leeann.  (ed. note:
this was a really good scene.  I felt sorry for both Kevin and Viki.)

At the country club, Sloan tells Andrew that maybe the real reason Clint
left Llanfair was that Viki told him the truth about how she feels about
Sloan.  Now they can be together.  Get real, Dad, Andrew says.  What
about Jessica, Joey, Kevin, and even Clint?  Should I just forget about
my own happiness? Sloan asks.  No, just don't forget that your happiness
doens't exist in a vacuum, Andrew tells him.  There are lots of other
people involved.  But being in an unhappy marriage isn't good for Viki
either, Sloan says.  Only Viki can decide what's best for her.  REALITY
CHECK!!!!!!  Nothing, not even you, Dad, is more important to Viki than
her marriage, Andrew says.  The best thing for you to do is to leave
town.

That's it for the day.  For you folks who think the trivia questions are
a good idea, here's the next set.  They're easier than last week's in
case the reason no one answered is because they were too hard.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

1) What does CJ stand for?
2) Who is Al named after, and why?
3) What is Duke's full name?

Have fun and have a great week everybody!
