     Reminder, B&B fans:  Some people might not watch their
VCR to the end of the week or until they read these updates,
so say "spoiler" if you've got plotline info to divulge.
Out of context, sometimes it doesn't make sense!

     While we wait, and wait, and wait, and wait some more,
and keep on waiting, and wonder how long it will take for
the show to get back to the incredible tension of the
Zach/Ganz/Felicia storyline, we get two days of this
exciting drama.  But, ah yes, Macy.  How can I forget?

     Wednesday on "The Bold and the Beautiful"

     At a country/western bar, Karen, her bosom barely
contained by the tank top she's wearing, leans over the
table and tells Thorne she's been thinking about Macy.
Though Macy is cute, smart, and his wife, Macy's no FUN!
I'd be ready for a "good time" when I came home, and not
mope around complaining.   I know how to have fun.  Ol' Macy
is a workaholic.  Thorne tells her Macy can be fun.
     Macy, having fun, shows up at the same bar!  Surprised?
She's worried that Mom'll be disappointed by Clarke, wanting
him to be a father.  The baby is so sweet, how could Clarke
resist?
     Sally has a simple candlelight dinner set, for Clarke.
Tells the baby that she wants Clarke to be a father.  Clarke
shows up, wants to sign the contract and blow.
     Darla and Macy, immersed in daiquiris, speculate on
Clarke changing.  Can slime change?    He's always
disappointed Sally.   It would mean so much to her if he
took an interest in the baby, Darla says.  A baby needs his
daddy.
     Clarke signs.  Makes cutting comments on Macy's
cooking, looks, etc.  He calls the contract a "life-
preserver".  He asks who the dinner's for -- the maintenance
man?  the cross-eyed plumber?  Very sadistic.
     As Karen teaches Thorne the Texas 2-step, Macy spots
'em.  Just as I was having a good time, too!  Macy says she
won't quit!  (Wad you spect, she lives witya, dumbhead!)
Looks YUMMY in the dress, BTW.  (Simple polka-dotted red
number with nice cleavage pockets.  I slow-moed a couple
times.  I should have a tape devoted to Macy!)  Darla to the
rescue.  Whispers to the bartender.  Meanwhile, Karen tells
Thorne that he'll never grow old -- she's the fountain of
youth!  The bartender comes over and tells Karen that Dad
called.  Sounded upset!  Karen frets that Dad learned she's
in a threesome with Thorne and Macy (I ASK YOU, how would
you feel?)  She's out -- Darla tells Macy he's all yours!
     Sally tells Clarke din-din was for him-him.  What a
comedian, Sal -- just like Lucille Ball.  She says she
thought they could relates as parents.  Talk.  I've got
plans, Clarke yodels.  C'MON CLARKE, spend some time with
him!   Who?  Da froot ah yor loins, dumbhead!
     Macy tells Thorne that the beers are on the house.
MACY!  You alone?  Yeah.  Where's Karen?  She left earlier.
As Macy sits down (YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY -- this was one
for the archive), she gives Thorne a come-hither look that
would have gotten me hotter than Texas asphalt in August!
Don't be a dork, Thorny!
     Macy says she doesn't want to take up his time.  You
aren't.  I told you this would never work!  he says.  Does
that mean I should pack?  No.  You have made a decision?
No.  You like living with both of us?  Honestly, yes!
(Honestly, with "no sex" rules -- NO WAY!  LET'S JUST GET
REAL, SHALL WE?!)  Macy sighs.  First Mom, now you.  Sally's
living with two men?  (hahahahaha, I laughed)  Clarke's back
and has controlling interest.  No choice.  Let's call it a
night, she says.  Thorne gets her to the dance floor.
     Clarke tells Sally he wants nothing more to do with the
kid!  Nada, zip, zilch, zero, etc.  Look at him!  No.  You
wanted him, you got him.  I ain't changing no doidy didies!
I'll pay the bucks, that's it.  Go out, get a babysitter,
and celebrate!  Clarke's in charge, all's right with the
world!  He's gone, gone, gone.  Sally apologizes to the
baby, saying Daddy thinks we're excess weight.  Certainly he
can't mean you.  Such a good boy -- forgive me!  (sob,
blubber - it was touching)

     Thursday on "The Bold and the Beautiful"

     At Spectra, Darla tells Macy that Sally's in Clarke's
office and looks terrible.  Macy tells Darla that Clarke
pushed Sally to the brink.  What're we gonna do?
     Sally tells Saul that Clarke was cruel.  Sadistic.
Unhuman. Disgusting.  Cold.  Ugly.  Mean.  Bad hair.  Poor
choice of aftershave.  Halitosis.  Blonde hairs stuck in his
teeth.  Rejected the baby.  She's worried about the baby's
future.  We need him.  Saul asks if it's worth it to
sacrifice her dignity?
     Kristen and Clarke kiss at the apartment.  Kristen
brought him a teddy-bear to bring out the warm, cuddly
Clarke, and remind him to be a benevolent leader.  Sally
calls.   DON'T EVAH CALL ME HEAH, YA HEAH?  Sally wants to
know when he's coming in, she has meetings.  Cancel 'em.
Saul can stand in.  Fire Saul!  Sally protests -- she can't
do that!  Then I will.  He tells Kristen he has to go and
leaves, with no teddy bear.  Kristen picks it up and appears
to wonder if he's worth it.
     Meanwhile, over at Forrester... (I'll do this in one
take:)
     Brooke's in the lab, shows Eric the wrinkle-free, no-
spot silk taffeta.  It'll be ready for cruise and holiday
shows.  Eric says X-cellent.  Maybe even velvet, Brooke
opines.  Did you get Ridge's comments?  I don't know, and
don't need to know.  (Sheila listens doorside.)  Brooke
tells Eric they need to relate as parents, she's making
dinner, he's invited.  Sheila apprehensive.  Eric says I
have plans.  Sheila orgasmic.  But I can change them.
Sheila inflammable (again).  Brooke tells Eric that the kid
will be happy.  Gotta get back to work, Brooke says.  Tell
Ridge!  Eric orders.  He has to know about it.  Sheila
enters, and Brooke shows her the formula spouting vague
chemical mumbo-jumbo (being a chemist, this was insulting --
good computer graphics, though).  Sheila, genius that she
is, gestalts it.  It's ALL in the computer, Brooke says, but
I should make some BACKUPS.  It's quite a composition,
Sheila says.  (Can you say "disc crash"?)
     Brooke leaves.  Eric is nominates Brooke for sainthood,
saying what an amazing textile researcher she is, confident,
thorough, an amazon in the sack...  Impressive what she's
accomplished.  Sheila says tell me more at dinner.  Oops,
gotta rain check that dinner.  Why?  Eric lies, "meetings".
Another time.  Sheila goes back in the infirmary, grabs a
blank diskette, and sneaks back in the lab.  She copies the
formula onto the diskette and then erases the file (NEVER
EVER leave your terminal unattended!  Didn't Brooke take the
computer security course?)
     Whatta wanta bet a promising textile researcher gets a
diskette in the mail?

     Meanwhile, in agony over at Spectra...

     Macy and Darla visit the office.  Sally's hurting,
tells them Clarke said to fire Saul.  Saul nobly offers to
resign.  It's the best way -- no fight.  He tells Sally not
to give it up for anything or anybody.  Wait, Saul!  Don't
leave!
     You've been with me a long, long time.  We're in a
pretty pathetic state.  Clarke treated me bad, worse, mocked
and humiliated me.  Yet I'm handing over the tiller.  He had
no kindness or compassion, crushed me and rejected our son.
The man of the hour comes in!  Tells Macy she'll be in the
cutting room, Darla sewing and a professional secretary in
the reception room.  Saul gets the big toe.  Sally tells
Clarke she has to talk to him.  He order everybody out so
that Sally can cry on his shoulder.
     (I kept chanting "Kill!  Kill!  Kill!  Kill!", just
like in "Alice's Restaurant".)
     Clarke says he's the boss.  He's changing the company
name to Clarke Garrison Originals, and the sign on the roof.
Go ahead, rub my nose in it, Sally says.  She and Macy will
be sharing the same office.  Fine.  Get a divorce, and
change the name of the kid -- want to erase all association
with you!  Can't reflect on my "image", he says, lighting a
stogie.  Sally picks up the letter and flames the
contract!!!!   It's over -- the games, lying, betrayal,
everything.  What kind of man/scum/slime are you?  You
wanted to be king.  She leaves the office.  Clarke, not
accepting it, sits down to sketch.  Sally comes back in with
two burly bouncers.  They grab Clarke in the chair and carry
him out the door and into the freight elevator.  Everybody
cheers and sticks their tongues out at Clarke.  Sally gets
hugs and is happy to have her dignity back!
     'Course now the company is in the dumper.  But I smell
a white-knight Spencer scenario!

     Tune in tomorrow, when I say,

     "NO weekend update due to tennis!  Go Stefan!"
