Okay all you people, I will put you out of your misery and give you
an update of that much requested show:

Here goes:
Well we'll skip to the part where Paul calls Nikki and gets her to
come to the hotel.  Nikki of course is aghast, there must be some
reasonable explanation for their being at the hotel.  She goes up
to the room, and knocks at the door.  Ryan: "You must have the wrong
room!"  She knocks again and Ryan is forced to open the door when they
hear that it is Nikki.  They are both stunned to say the least.
Ryan opens the door a crack, he doesn't want to let Nikki in.  She
finally pushes her way in and sees an empty bed.  Ryan just has his
pants on.  "I know you're in here Victoria!", she yells.  Eventually
Victoria opens the door and stands there defiant only in a towel.
End of show.

Next show:
Nikki is disgusted and can't believe her eyes.  She really yells at Ryan
and Victoria, "get your clothes on young lady we're going home right now!".
I can't remember exact words, but she was furious.  They are both rather
calm about it I thought.  While Victoria is in the bathroom getting dressed
Nikki is yelling at him, "how could you ...", Ryan says "this night was
going to be something beautiful between Victoria and me".  Well, Nikki
just belts him one, slaps him hard across the face.  That was good.
Victoria comes out and Nikki goes to drag her away.  Victoria goes to
Ryan and gives him a big juicy kiss.  I thought Nikki would have a
heart attack!  They leave.

Later, Ryan goes to the phone still at the hotel and calls Nina.  She can
tell he is very upset about something and they agree to meet at Gina's.
She is comforting and supportive to him, but he doesn't tell her the reason
he's so upset.

Nikki and Victoria don't really do much talking that night.  Nikki tries
to find out how long this has been going on, does she know what she's getting
into, you've been lying to us for months, don't you know you can catch
HIV the virus that causes aids, etc., etc.  Victoria is totally defiant
and rebellious.  Nikki did not want to listen when she told her that she
loved Ryan and wanted to keep seeing him, nobody would let her, so of 
course she had to sneak behind their backs.

Victor calls in the middle of all this.  He has just cancelled Paul's
services and I guess needs to hear her voice to know he did the right
thing.  Neither of them say anything.  Victor hangs up reassured that he
did the right thing.  Victoria goes to bed.

Jack has heard the whole thing hiding in the front hall.  He is distraught
and urges Nikki to think long and hard before saying anything to Victor.

My comments:  I'm glad this thing is all out in the open.  It's only a
matter of time before the marriage thing comes out.  Nikki does drag Victoria
to the doctor the next time for an HIV test.  I think Victoria should tell
Nikki that they have both been tested, maybe that would show Nikki that
they are being responsible and know what the risks are.  Anyway she is 
having another test because Ryan had been sleeping with Nina since her
last test.

In the states, you will see on today's show that Paul has an attack of
conscience and tells Victor the truth.  Ryan better watch his back!
I hate to think how far Victor will go to get revenge on Ryan for taking
advantage of his daughter.  Should be good!  I think Ryan will run back
to the comfort of Nina, where there are no complications, and she has lots
of money.  Why didn't he stay there in the first place?

If anyone can fill in any gaps in this story, feel free.  

Hope this helped.
Til next time,
Catharine
