Subject: B&B:  Dull Monday update
Summary:  merrily the storylines roll along 
Organization: Goddard Space Flight Center

     A series of concentrated scenes:  i.e., no movement of
characters from venue to venue.  Makes it easier to update.

     Monday on "The Bold and the Beautiful"
     (subtitle:  "The Morning After")

     A NIGHT ON THE TOWN OR BEDDY-BYE WITH TAYLOR?  GEE,
TOUGH CHOICE!

     Ridge stumbles in as we hear strains of "Dawn" from
Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt" suites.  The birdies are
chirping, the sun is shining, and Taylor's just rubbing the
sleep from her eyes.  You're just getting home? she asks.
Yes, I am.  The party went all night?  Yes, it did.  What'd
you do?  Oh, had dinner at a great restaurant.  Danced like
crazy at the hottest nightspot in town.  Went back to Jean-
Pierre's suite at the Ritz-Carlton and had early-morning
croissants and cafe au lait.  You know  -- the usual.  Who
was with you?  Nobody special  --  Gianni Versace, Madonna,
Nolan Ryan, Wayne Gretzky, Henry Mancini, Michael and Diane
Keaton, Steven Spielberg, The Dark Side, John Lennon,
Halston, Peter Ueberroth, Edward James Olmos, Sarah Jessica
Parker -- you know, the usual bunch that shows up at these
functions.  Oh yeah, Brooke too.  Taylor leaps out of the
bed wearing a royal blue nightgown, saying "Brooke?  Brooke
was there?"  Of course, Ridge says, she just made me the
most famoso designer in the whole world (even with those
stupid pirate costumes).  Does that bother you?  You tell me
you spent the whole night with Brooke and ask if it bothers
me?  "Spending the night" is a general term.  But you still
don't trust her, do you?  Not as far as I can throw her,
which considering she's approaching Triceratopsian
proportions, isn't very far.  They discuss the baby and
Taylor's fears that the baby will reconnect Ridge with
Brooke.  She tells him that if it turns out to be his kid,
she'll consider the baby a stepchild, even if it means
having Brooke the albatross around their necks (a literary
reference, nice).  Ridge says if it's his kid he'll do the
right thing.  Are you going to be associated in the future?
Taylor asks.  Just the worldwide publicity tour.  Oh, I see,
Taylor says.  Ridge then expresses interest in spending some
"quality time" with Taylor (after an all-night party -- WHAT
A MAN!)  He thanks her for being so understanding during the
past two weeks, and tells Taylor that if any of this is
going to interfere with THEM, then it isn't worth it.
Taylor basically melts into this line and Ridge proceeds to
assert his manhood.  Ahem.

     JUST ANOTHER FRIENDLY BREAKFAST AT THORNE'S CONDO

     Macy's cooking breakfast for Thorne, and Thorne says it
smells GOOD!  She asks what he's up to, and he says going in
to work to make millions for Forrester after the showing!
Don't rub it in -- at least we're still one of your
downtrodden competitors.  Yeah, where did Darla find this
guy?  Who knows, but we've got money.  Macy asks about
Karen's new job, and Thorne says he doesn't know what it is.
Karen exits the bedroom and starts to overhear.  What's she
qualified to do?  Macy asks.  She's pretty smart and has a
lot of potential, Thorne says.  Sure, but all she's done is
sling hash at a diner!  She's a lazy homewrecker!  (Karen
disapproves).  Don't be so tough on her, Thorne says.  At
this point, Karen says good morning!  Hi!  (A groan from
Macy.)  Thorne compliments Karen's attire, and Macy cuts
that she's a bit overdressed for the secretarial pool.
Karen slights the coffee.  Macy gets in another dig, and
Karen says her cooking looks greasy.  Thorne is disgusted.
Why don't you just have it out, girls!  Don't you have
anything nice to say about each other?  In unison:  "No."
They unsheath their claws.  M: You're not welcome here, this is
our house and I'm married to Thorne.  K: Thorne invited me
here, you didn't have a marriage.  M: We were separated but now
we're back together.  M:  You've been parading your cheap
seduction act in front of my face.  K:  Yadda yadda yadda.
Thorne exits in a huff.  There you did it, Karen says,
congratulations.  Macy slams Karen's abilities, and exits in
a very pretty, hip-swinging huff.  Karen says "you'll be
singing a different tune when you find out I'm your new
BOSS."  She skips the bacon.
     (BTW, in an episode last coupla weeks, Macy had a curly 
perm do, but is back to straight hair.  I liked the curly do. 
Any comments?  Anybody OUT THERE?)
     Prediction:  When Macy finds out Karen is the new boss,
she'll proceed to put the seduction meter on "high", based
on posted previews.  Oh baby baby...
     
     NEVER SPILL THE BEANS AROUND A COFFEE GRINDER

     Sheila is convalescing in the Forrester condo set, when
Brooke, somehow concealing her expansiveness in an extra-
large bathrobe, walks in.  (Note, I don't have anything
against pregnant women, and Brooke is a very pretty pregnant
woman.  She's just so much larger than the petite svelteness
of Brooke sans Fetus Forrester, she rates a mention.)
Sheila greets her and explains that she spent the night, to
recover from the accident.  That was very nice of Eric,
Brooke says, who just got in a couple hours before dawn.
(Eight months pregnant and parties all night?  WHAT A
FEMALE!)   Brooke asks Sheila how the night went, and she
says it wasn't all she hoped for.  How's that again?  Well,
I slept in the baby's room instead of partying with Gianni.
Oh, I uh... thought... you might've meant something else.
You see, Brooke explains, Eric filled me in on your budding
relationship.  Sheila gets that "oh my God, I'm going to
have to kill you" look on her face and asks "Is that a
problem?"  Well, Brooke explains, he is still my husband,
and might be the father of Fetus Forrester.  
They discuss the baby,
which Brooke is 99.8% positive has got to carry Ridge's
genes.  But Sheila says you're just basing that on hope,
right?  Maybe -- Sheila says you still love Ridge, don't
you?  C'mon, Brooke, you can tell me -- I'm your friend.
Brooke looks at her and believes her, and admits it, yes,
she wants Ridge and loves him.  BIG, BIG!  MISTAKE.  He
still loves me too -- he came to see me at the airport.
Sheila briefly has a "oh my God, if Stephanie finds out, I'm
clam chowder" look, but then Brooke tells Sheila the plan --
stay aloof, have Ridge's baby, and he won't be able to
resist me and his child.  Clever, Sheila says -- I might be
able to give you some tips... uh, do some backflips if it
works!  Brooke says it sure is nice to be able to confide in
somebody, and Sheila says she'll do "anything" that Brooke
needs to help her get Ridge back!  (And in the meantime open
up the pathway to Eric's boudoir!)

     Still wanting to know who the sinister woman who's
deceiving her mother is...
