        Trevor's life.

        Award of the Week:   The mathematical team of Avora/Sudan/Motwani
        -----------------    Lund/Szegedy, for their error amplification
                             discovery. In their approach, the set of
                             logical statements that constitute a proof
                             are transformed so that ANY error is so
                             amplified as to be easily detectable.
                             Huge philosophical and real-world implications.

Storyline [C]:
-------------

   E, having completed a successful brainslap/dinner date and major 
flirting session w/ Prince Igor (all to thwart him from combining his 
Enchantement shares with Pops), accepts his offer to drive them to their TV 
interview in the am ("Market Street Week"). On-air, they engage in double 
entendre and glad-handing with abandon: 

Interviewer: "...tonight we query 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'The Big Bad 
              Wolf'...the corporate animal who almost gobbled her business
              in a takeover attempt...Miss Kane, do you forsee a time when 
              the BBW might abscond with your 'basket of goodies'?"

E:           "...I don't think he's interested in _absconding_..."
I:           "Is the BBW really ready for team tag and 'pattycake'?!"
D:           "...we have a lot in common..."
I:           "...who's really in the driver's seat; are you just along
              for the ride?"
D:           "...so far, the ride's been thrilling..."
E:           "(analogy time)...on the way here, Dimitri drove. He was
              smooth, and self-assured, and, uh, downright masterful...
              ...and on the way home, I'm sure he'll have no problem
              handing his 'car' over to me..."
I:           "Well, what do you say to THAT, Mr. Merrick? Can you sit
              back while 'she takes the *wheel*'?
                             [Brumpt-TING!]

   The D-man hands her the car keys HERE. :)))

E:           "See, that's how we're running Enchantement: we're 'taking
              turns', and trusting each other."
I:           "Hmmmmm...I see...very intriguing..."

                     [ :)))))))))))))) On the floor!!!]

   Unfortunately, E has her cover blown, and Da Prince finds out she set 
the whole thing up. They brainslap each other unmercifully on the way home. 
Dimitri accuses her of never taking a real man into her bed. She slaps the 
crap out of him. He tongues her in reply. She responds. Chemistry. :)



Storyline [A]:
-------------

   After refusing An "Taking it to the hoop" Li's sexual advances, Jethro X 
uses the Chandler tunnels to sneak into The Tink's bedroom. They comfort 
each other, and she finally gets forty winks after he "tells her a bedtime 
story" (Gramps and Granma Bodine w/ the kiddies). 

   The Li-ster transports over early am and catches them, but Bri isn't 
having any. He dismisses her, and tries to tell Hayley that he and A.L. did 
"the wild thang", but Halo blows it off, takes back his ring and proclaims 
peace in the kingdom. :)

[ED.: my feeling is that Hayley figures he bopped An Li, but since he was
      super-horny to begin with, and SHE wasn't giving it up...no harm,
      no foul...che sera, sera...roll w/the punches...in other words,
      the Li-ster took the 'pressure' off Hayley (!) ;) ]



Storyline [D]:
-------------

   Mr. and Mrs. Mahatama drop by to babysit the Nut, and are caught up in 
her premonitions that "something bad is going to happen to Trevor."



Storylines [B,E]:
----------------
 
   Nat, having an impromptu burger w/ The Porkchop at McKay's, takes 
FauxGalen's warning to heart ("bop him or I will" / "buns up or butt out"), 
and tells Trevor "she wants to be a part of his life".
[ED.: you left out AGAIN, bitch.] 

   Bad timing all around, because the Chop-ster receives a mysterious, 
"meet-me-in-the-park" cellular call, throwing Nat into a hissy fit ("be 
careful"). Trevor takes the opening, declares he'll take "anything (she 
wants to give), then makes her pay the bill and splits. :))))))
Trev and his contact are interrupted by a female flatfoot, and they make a 
next-day appointment for noon. 

   Nat drops by next day pre-meet, extremely agitated because she figures 
he's in big-time trouble, declaring that "she'll do ANYTHING to help him" 
("please let me help; P-L-E-A-S-E"). [ED.: I can think of a great, um, 
stress-reliever, since she's volunteering... ;) ] He accuses her of "being 
on a charity mission" and kicks her butt out of the apartment. Nice try. 
The Porkchop transports to the park; Nat follows. 

   Mini-cliffhanger (see Spoilers).





GEnie's Peek At The Soaps

Love In The Air
---------------

*   The role of Pine Valley's newest district attorney Galen Henderson was 
*recently recast with actress Karen Person.  A newcomer to daytime, Person 
*has guest-starred on numerous prime time shows. Currently Galen has a 
*serious crush on Trevor (James Kiberd) which could heat up if the cop ever 
*faces the fact that Natalie (Kate Collins) is out of his life for good. 
*
*   Another Pine Valley citizen long overdue for a new love interest is 
*Brooke (Julia Barr), who has been single ever since her failed relationship 
*with another of Erica's (Susan Lucci) cast-offs, Jack (Walt Willey).  
*Brooke's romantic life gets a boost when Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist

*John Callahan, last seen as Craig on "Santa Barbara," will first appear as 
*Edmund on April 13th.
