THIS WEEK'S EXPERIMENT: I'm trying something a little different this week.  Different page for each day.  Hopefully will slash downloading times.  We'll see how it goes.

 

Please note: Australian spelling applies in Days DownUnder. Therefore spelling of words such as realise (realize), colour (color), recognise (recognize), defence (defense) and so on, 
are not typing or
spelling errors as we
adopt European/English spelling in Australia.
 

AUSTRALIAN READERS PLEASE NOTE: The wrap up you see now is CURRENT for MELBOURNE.  NSW is 3 days ahead of us, Perth in Western Australia is about 18 months behind, regional Western Australia is ahead by 2 days.  South Australia- previously behind, then 3 weeks ahead are now about 3 days ahead! (good grief) Other towns and regions are all over the place. This gives us a jolly old time - the wrap ups are either old news, last week's news or "Spoilers" depending where you are! Whatever your situation, please sit back and enjoy!   


 


A Better Word and Resume

Week 4: Aug 21-Aug 25 - DAY 2

Episodes screened February 97 in the U.S. 

Abe's Advice...

Poor old Amiable Abe is burdened with a gold mine of information concerning the love lives of forlorn Salemites and can't say a word to anyone.  Unable to tell Hope that BozoCop is simply working undercover and pretending to love Billieboob, he gives Hope something to pine over.  Don't give up on Bozo, he tells her meaningfully.  I'm sure, soon, he'll turn to you again.

Mmmm? mumbles Hope with renewed er, hope.

J.L.King

The only mobster/drug lord ever known who takes an obsessive interest in the love lives of his cronies and staff, continues to discuss BozoCop's women.  We'll see, he nods.  If BozoCop is lying to us about Billieboob, they'll both be seriously dead. 

Ivan's idea

While Vivian and Kristen have been plotting outside, Ivan has taken the opportunity to apply some brandy directly to the troublesome source.  What hiccup! ooh, what did you say this hiccup! stuff ish? asks giggling Susan.  It is called brandy, Ivan replies patiently. Oh that brandy is dandy! slurps Susan becoming a little more compliant.

The Church

John's still in a quandary.  I never meant to hurt Doc, but I won't hurt Kristen either.  What should I do God?

Involvement

BozoCop meets under the cover of darkness with Amiable Abe, with Billieboob tagging alongside.  Well, it's like this, Bozo begins.  Billieboob toppled forward while listening at the keyhole of J.L.King's office where he was intimidating me.  Now she's involved, I had to make out like she was my girlfriend so we wouldn't get killed.  Can we get her into a witness protection program or something? She's in danger.

Ohh, groans Abe who's life isn't burdened enough already.

He's still there!?

The longest prayer in history continues.  Of course detailing the many loves of John Black would indeed be a lengthy process.  Fortunately while daydreaming Marlena realises he's left for home.

Sitting on a bench, she's joined by a priest. (For those of you seeing later episodes, you'll recognise the priest as ROLF - now a major character as a sidekick for Stefano in the US).

May I help you? Father Noname asks.  Well Father, maybe you can, Marlena brightens.  I'm in love with a man, a wonderful man, who has been tricked into marriage by a very manipulative woman.  Is that grounds for an annulment?

Based on the information you've given me, says the priest considering.  Yes, it would be.  However did he enter into the matrimony willingly? Well yes, but he didn't know what this woman was capable of, Marlena explains.

Oh, says the priest, his face falling.  Mmm, well that's different.  If he entered into the marriage willingly, it might be a little more difficult.  We'd have to investigate it fully.  

Violence

Anger mixed with brandy is a bad combination for Susan who starts waving around a pair of scissors.  You let me see my baby! she commands.

Soothing her, Kristen changes her attitude.  Just calm down Susan, I'm sure we can work something out don't you?

He's back...

Hearing a sound at the front door, Kristen races to welcome John, as Vivian bundles Susan into the back yard.

John's mad.  You've upset Kristen, you've made her feel insecure about her relationship with me.  I love Kristen, and she has nothing to worry about.  Now I think you'd better go.

Turning to Kristen, John apologises.  I'm sorry if I made you feel bad Kristen.  I love you and our son.

The Kiss

Bozo and Billieboob are talking on the pier, when they hear a sound behind them.  That will be one of J.L.King's men spying on us, Bozo determines quite wrongly.  We need to act like we're in love.

As Bozo kisses and talks coochy babble with Billieboob, both are unaware that it's not a henchman who's watching - it's Hope.

Devastated that Bozo has chosen Billieboob, Hope sits on the swings, remembering.....

The first time they made love.

Their marriage in London.

And the birth of ShawnD.

Further flashbacks.

Standing outside the door of the DiMansion stands Marlena.  After an afternoon of discussions, praying, dressing and flashbacks, she is now ready to tell John how she feels.  Poised to open the door, she looks dreamily into space and remembers....

Roman/John's proposal.

Roman/John marriage.

The end of the devil storyline.

The end of the devil storyline some more.

Ah yes, Marlena sighs.  Tonight John will be going home with me.  

As Marlena opens the door, Kristen sees Vivian bundling Susan out the backyard.  Could any more revolving doors spin?
