     *****  THE RETURN OF RHONDA!!  *******
     **************************************

     who was in fine form, function, and figure, as usual.

     And we also got Sly, Zach, and Felicia in the deal.
     Interesting day...  the stage is set for some major
revelations!

     Tuesday on "The Bold and the Beautiful":

     YOUR'N KINFOLK'S HAD SUM PRUBLUMS, MIZ TAYLOR?

     The loading dock at Forrester looks like Godiva time at
a chocolate convention.  Thorne is a rock, sending out
orders and telling the men it's going to get worse!  Can you
say "job action"?  the teamsters ask Thorne.  Taylor shows
up and flags Thorne down.  They segue a la office.
     Taylor wants to know about the "surprise" with a man
that her Daddy is planning.  It's news to me, Thorne says.
Would Ridge know?  I think he would have told me and I'm
telling you he didn't tell me.  Hmmm... Thorne ruminates.
Who else could it be?  Didn't you say you had a brother?
Say the magic word -- Brother -- and a duck comes down and
gives you a prize!  Taylor reacts negatively to the word
brother, and proceeds into some of the story about how she
and Zach were really close, until the mother he adored and
he ended up in a crumpled car in a ravine...  I tried to
help him through it, but he's been gone for over 10 years
and I don't know where he is...  A somewhat tearful Taylor
admits to Thorne that she looked for Zach for five years but
couldn't find him.  I'm pretty sure he's dead... I have to
let him go.  Thorne commiserates with her and tells her
everything is gonna be alright.

     JACK'S MOST EXCELLENT HELICOPTER RIDE

     (I mean, how can you drop by a mansion in the Hills
before work and get to work in the garment district on time?
This isn't Genoa City, this is Los Angeles!)
     Stephanie opens the door to the casa and faces an
enormous Carole Bouquet of roses, held by Jack in a delivery
man's hat.  Nice style.  He barges right in.  Stephanie says
they're lovely, and Jack comments that if flowers can
capture the sentiment they are sent with, then these are the
loveliest roses in the world!   Awwwwwwwww.....  Stephanie
is feeling mighty chipper about the relationship, but still
wants to know where Jack got hisself to for those two
months.  It was a family problem -- it took awhile to
resolve.  Stephanie perceives that Taylor's been fine, so it
must involve -- your missing son?  You win the Miss
Perceptiveness 1992 award, Stephanie!  Yup, my son is back
in town and we had to get adjusted to each other.  After
some initial rough spots (means: "He beat me up") and some
negotiating (means: "He held a gun on me"), we reached an
agreement (means "I would off myself if I didn't raise 100
grand")  and accepted each other (means "Until the next
family crisis, when we'll try to tear each other's throats
out").  Stephanie is so pleased to hear the good news that
she somehow gets close enough to Jack on the sofa to lean
her head on his shoulder.  Have you told Taylor yet?  No.
What's he like?  He's wild, unconventional, hard to
understand, brilliant, flighty... but he's my boy!  I can
see your proud of him, Stephanie says.  Glad you got over
the problems.  Wish I could get over Felicia's problems.
What kind?  Oh, she's dating this guy who's really BAD NEWS.
I mean SCUM OF THE EARTH.  I mean A TOTAL SOCIAL REJECT.  I
have to wonder if it's genetic.  Jack says maybe he could
talk some sense into the boy.  I doubt it, Stephanie says.
Jack realizes that his time is up and rushes out to board
the helicopter for a quick trip down to Spectra.

     A RHONDA IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

     Zach tells Sly that he's really grateful for what he
did for Felicia -- he could've been killed.   Like somebuddy
hadta do somethin', Sly says.  What can I do for you?  Zach
asks.  Buy me a beer?   Then Zach turns to Rrrrowrhonda,
who's leaning over the bar clad in the Bikini Bar uniform
(slow-mo time) and Zach thanks her for all she did.  There
is some unintelligible dialogue, and I rewound twice to try
and figure it out.  Seriously.  All of a sudden a delivery
man shows up with a BIG box, Zach signs and then Felicia
shows up.  Who's the big box for?  Lessee, the card says for
"Felicia Forrester".  Well, open it, Sly says, jumping up
and down.  Open it!  HelpmeRhonda says excitedly, bouncing
up and down.  They open it -- it's a "Diabolo" or something
surfboard, the best kind, made on the North Shore of Hawaii,
featuring a big red heart with "FF+ZH" in the middle.  Let's
go to the beach!  Felicia says.  Aren't you going to bring
the board?  Sly asks.  Later!
     The board does make it outside.  Felicia and Zach do
the tongue tango, then lie back on the warm sand and gaze up
into the bright L.A. haze.  Felicia wonders what the "H"
stands for, and Zach isn't quite ready to tell her.  She
thinks it stands for "Hughes", and he's an undercover heir
to the old man.  Not quite it.  They snuggle on the beach
some more.  Felicia is proud of him for getting his life
back in order and tells him that now is the time to contact
his sister.  (This came up during a tickle fight that
reminded Zach of "his sister".)   In our final scene, back
inside the Bikini (I can tell you a bikini I'd like to be
ins --- ooh, bad Dark Side!)  Zach call up JackDaddy and
tells him it's time -- let's scare the living daylights out
of Taylor!

     Tune in to our next thrilling episode, when we could in
all likelihood hear Rhonda ask:
     "Do you ever blink, Mr. Acker?"
