07/19/1996 Joe Announces The Results



"A determined Bobby barged into the art gallery and began shouting at Scott even while he was on the phone with a prospective client. Scott was infuriated that Bobby held such little regard for his father's business. What was Bobby all worked up over? He wanted to know where Anita was hiding out at. Scott reluctantly said that she might be at the hospital. No sooner had the words crossed Scott's lips and Bobby took off for Pine Valley Hospital.

At the hospital, tense moments caused Nina to lash out at Kelsey. She said that Kelsey had nine months to deeal with her pregnancy and Bobby was told at the last minute so it's only natural that he would be caught off guard. Nina went on to say that both her son and Kelsey were very irresponsible for not taken the appropriate precautions to prevent the pregnancy (or at least protect against sexually trasmitted diseases). Kelsey assumed that this was a personal attack and tried to enlist Ruth to hurl back a few zingers, but she didn't. The only thing that Ruth said was that Bobby was very conspicuous by his absence.
Bobby did track Anita down at the hospital, but Anita wasn't overjoyed to see him. She tried to get away from Bobby, but she inadvertently walked on to the patio where Palmer, Nina, Kelsey, Ruth, and Sam were all sitting around waiting for the blood tests. This shook up Anita even more. But Bobby seized the moment and said that he wanted everyone to hear what he was about to say. Bobby confessed to some of his selfish, thoughtless actions in the past including lying about wrecking his father's sportscar and creating an excuse so he wouldn't have to attend his younger brother's recital. But Bobby said that these were the days of old and that the lies and pain he inflicted on others were now coming back to him, but added that he deserved it. He told Anita that she changed him and that he doesn't want her to give him a quick "I forgive you," but rather he wants her to think about what he said. The timing was awful, but Joe announced that he had to results of the blood test and that Bobby was definitely the father of Kelsey's baby. The news caused Anita to run off, saying that she loves Bobby, but that she cannot deal with the fact that he has a baby. Anita ran into big sister Maria in her travels and asked if she could spend time at Wildwind so she wouldn't have to go back home and face her parents. Maria said that she always has a place for Anita, but that she and Edmund were no longer together. The news crushed Anita who feels that she is responsible for their break up.

Maria refused to return home even after Gloria told her that the hospital's understaffing problem had corrected itself and that there were more than enough doctors on staff. Maria refused. Dimitri also bumped into Maria, but their conversation was awkward at best. The tension between the two masked Dimitri's true concern for his sister-in-law.

Later, Nina comforted Bobby and said that she was very proud of him for telling Anita how he felt for her. She also said that she knows how his heart must be broken and that if she could give him her heart to make him feel better, she would. But Nina said she needed to go back home and would be leaving Pine Valley.

Toni and Edmund continued going at it. Edmund ordered Toni to seek medical help, but she continued to refuse, saying that her husband would kill her. The two actually have very good on-screen chemistry as Skye is a typical stubborn Chandler and Edmund's attitude asks the question "Why did I take this strange women who I found in my family's mausoleum into my house?" Toni did well for a while, but again her health deteriorated. Realizing that she was burning up with a fever, Edmund rushed her to the hospital. But as he carried her in to the emergency room, he had no way of knowing that Maria would be there.

The landlord gave Noah and Julia another notice informing them that there rent was past due and that if they didn't pay it they'd be kicked out. Julia convinced Noah that she was going to go over to the office and use her charm to get an extension. But what she didn't tell Noah was that she pawned her 2 karat diamond wedding ring in order to get money for the rent. In a very sad and tender moment, Julia called the pawn shop to make sure that her wedding ring was still there and said that she'd be in soon to reclaim it. But while Julia was away. Noah inadvertently came across the claim ticket from the pawn shop and soon realized that Julia's story that she took her ring to the jeweler to be resize was just that: a story. When she came back he confronted her with the ticket and asked for an explanation.

Liza dropped by the art gallery to tell Scott that his history project was given thumbs up by WRCW's editors and that it could be turned into a special program. Liza also used to opportunity to poke around a bit about Skye. Stuart walked in on the two talking and after hearing Skye's name, Stuart thought it might finally be a good time to try to call his neice. He placed a call to Skye/Toni's last known place of employment, but no one there was of much help as to where she had disappeared to. As the three were talking, Jonathan walked in hoping to collect a check for the painting he had just sold to Stuart. Stuart ducked out for a minute to get the check and Scott stepped aside. During her moment alone with Jonathan, Liza told her former lover that she has a knockout blow and then asked Jonathan why he never told her that his wife was Adam Chandler's daughter. "
