     I don't have a ton of time today (I've been moving my
office all day and have only had sporadic time to work.)
Then they came in at 4:00 and said the move's off until
December 1st.  Thanks so much.

     Onward and inward.
     Friday on "The Bold and the Beautiful"

     NO, I DEMAND A FULL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT EVERY TIME

     Ridge and Taylor are locked in the midst of marital
combat.  Ridge thinks that because Jack Hamilton has major
skeletons in the closet, he should have leveled with
Stephanie on the first date instead of waiting for the
Felicia/Zach involvement revelation.  Taylor says he wanted
to know Stephanie and make a good first impression.  Ridge
can't buy that.  When you were meeting me did you tell me
everything?  Taylor asks.  Like a) you slept with someone
before your first attempted wedding with Caroline, b) you
and Brooke had a long-term highly rambunctious sexually
permuted relationship, c) you played Brooke and Caroline off
each other for months before marrying Caroline, and d)
you're listed with the Center for Disease Control in
Atlanta?  Ridge says stop changing the subject!  Jack was
involved with Ganz, Ganz is still out there, Zach has
spirited Felicia away to Whoknowswhereville, U.S.A., and I'm
supposed to forgive and forget?  Plus, Jack works for
Spectra.  I'd say Jack has agenda.  Yes, he's male, but what
does that mean?  Taylor asks.  I mean he's got ulterior,
exterior, interior, and posterior motives.  Taylor takes
high umbrage and Ridge's insinuations, but does not reveal
the big skeleton (gambling) in Jack's walk-in.  A disgusted
Ridge exits.  Looks to me like there won't be any nocturnal
insinuating in the Ridge Forrester household tonight!

     TRAVELS WITH STEPHANIE

     Stephanie journeys to the Bikini Bar to interrogate Sly
regarding Felicia's and Zach's wharabouts.  After being most
highly and most excellently complimentary, she appeals to
Sly's sense of friendship and protectiveness for Felicia to
reveal the waif's location.  Sly says he doesn't know, never
knew, and Zach's got her best interests at heart.  Yeah, but
Ganz is out there and I don't know she's safe.  Sly insists
that Ganz won't be back for another knuckle repast in L.A.
Stephanie still wants him to tell her if he hears anything,
and promises that the Forresters have connections which
could pay off for him someday if he knows the right thing to
do.

     Meanwhile, Felicia has snuck back into the hacienda to
get a few more rags, er, clothes.  She takes too long
packing and is caught bag-handed coming down the stairs when
Stephanie returns home.  Steph goes to the living room and
tries to sneak out, but Steph sees her.  Mommy expresses joy
that the prodigal has returned and immediately sends word to
slay the fatted calf, but Felicia tells Steph that she won't
be staying for dinner.  They go through another
confrontation about her safety and the inadvisability of her
relationship with Zach the scum.  Felicia insists that since
no one knows where they're hanging out (the unemployment
line at the Screen Actor's Guild), she's as safe as safe can
be.  She yells at Stephanie that the only reason Stephanie
wants to separate her and Zach is because she's jealous that
her relationship with Zach works and Steph and Jack are
splitsville.  The resulting palm-THWACK to Felicia's cheek
sets off earthquake alarms in Parkfield.  Doesn't look like
Steph will be saying "bon voyage".

     ENLISTING AID FOR THE LONG CAMPAIGN

     Sheila loans Mollymom a garment bag for the dishy dress
Eric gave her.   Molly tells her she's sorry she was wrong,
Sheila wasn't lying, Eric Forrester really loves her
daughter!  She can see it in his eyes, and Sheila helps her
to realize that Eric could only see a changed Sheila.  But
there's still a little itsy bitsy tiny insignificant problem
named Lauren Fenmore, who's currently sleeping around Genoa
City in eligible bachelor's beds while newly re-married to
Scott.  Molly doesn't think that Lauren will come over.
Sheila goes to the sobbiest of sob stories, how she'll have
no life and no reason to live if she can't have Eric, love,
kids, and the condo.  Especially the condo.   I really would
have nothing to live for and might just END IT ALL, Sheila
says, playing Molly like a marionette in the "Sound of
Music" yodeling-song scene.  The string-pulling and tear-
jerking works.  Molly decides that she will talk to Lauren
and do anything she can to change that girl's mind.  Sheila
is surprised and very grateful.

     There was a really dumb line of dialogue.  In the midst
of Sheila's hand-wringing, Molly says "There will be other
men after Eric."  Like that's a comfort?  Sheila rightly
says to Molly that Eric's one-in-a-million.  The line didn't
fit, and I wondered if it might've been a mistake that was
artfully ad-libbed around.

     Tune in tomorrow, when we're likely to hear Felicia
say:

     "I already tried "Santa Barbara".  There aren't any
short-term needs for waifs."
