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 4

Episodes screened February 97 in the U.S. 

Aug 24

Sneaking an opportunity for a rare canoodle in bed, Ausdumb reaffirms his love for Carrie.  I swear I'll only carry on this charade with Scami as long as I have to, he promises.  Once Scami is well, she can be told the truth.

Physiotherapy starts today, and Scami's nervous.

Interrupting a second wave of the wild thing, Scami calls Ausdumb.  I need you to help me through this painful physiotherapy, she asks.  Could you come now?

Sure, Ausdumb sighs.

Tragic

Disturbed by a noise downstairs, Marlena sweeps down to see Laura full of smiles.  I broke in and entered your apartment, Loony/Lucid Laura tells her revelling in her criminality.  I remembered your alarm code and I've done this so that I could set up a special breakfast for you and John.

Tell me, was it everything you expected and more? she says dreamily.

Downcast, Marlena sighs.  John didn't come home with me last night, she tells her friend who looks dumbfounded.  He's staying with Kristen.

Vivian's Visit

John is unimpressed when Vivian visits the next morning. I don't want you here, you'll just upset Kristen, he fumes, but Kristen tells him to go.  You go to the hospital to visit John Junior, I'll get dressed and join you soon, she promises.

Turning to Vivian, she is exultant as she relays the news.  Marlena didn't say anything!  She decided she couldn't make John break his wedding vows!

Thank God you were married before a priest! smiles Vivian.

Susan Banks

Susan calls Marlena's apartment.  It's Susan Banks, I'm just calling to confirm my appointment.  I'll see you in my office on the fifth floor of University Hospital in an hour, Marlena agrees.

The news

Carrie's stopped by to share her miserable love life, only to hear of Marlena's lack of success with John.  If you and John can't be together, Carrie moans, Ausdumb and I will never have a chance.  You and John deserve to be together.

Flashbacks...

As John looks in on John Junior, his mind wanders.

Back to the days of strawberries and cream...

Lots of sex with Doc...

and more strawberries and cream.

What are you thinking man? he snarls to himself as he comes back to earth with a thud.  You're with Kristen man! Thoughts of Marlena like this can never surface again.

Visit

Kristen has stopped by Susan's apartment to ensure she is ready for her trip to the Caribbean.  Here's the ticket, and I'll send some videos down, she promises.

Physiotherapy

Ausdumb helps support Scami as she embarks on her first physiotherapy session.  Buckling at the knees, she sobs.  I'm never going to walk again! she wails, but brightens as Ausdumb provides words of encouragement.  Just work towards us being a happily family again, he tells her.

Good news

Taking Ivan aside, Vivian is relieved.  With Kristen now safe again, it means she will continue supporting my place on the Titan Board.

Loony/Lucid Laura is on hand to witness Vivian embrace Kristen.  You're up to something, she observes as Kristen flees to check on John Junior.

I know you Vivian, Laura grins.  I know that you'll stop at nothing to get what you want.  I know that Kristen will do the same.  I also believe Kristen was involved in my disappearance somehow, although I can't prove it.

As Kristen overhears sending daggers Laura's way, Laura continues to spout her unwanted opinion.  Marlena belongs with John, and I believe it's just a matter of time before they end up together.  I'll be watching both of you!

Well it's like this...

The therapy session is well underway, but Susan manages to say nothing during their time together.  I married this wonderful man, she blubbers and I agreed to do something, now I regret it....
