08/01/1996 Kelsey Wants To Marry Bobby



"Tad talked to Ruth about how he is concerned he may have gotten Liza pregnant. The news came as no shock to Ruth because, if you recall, she caught Marian snooping around in Doc Claytor's office. Ruth tried to put her son's mind at ease, but Tad was concerned that this might be a fatal blow to he and Jamie's relationship.

At WRCW, Marian used Adam as a sounding block. She told him that Tad the Cad had gone and gotten her daughter pregnant. Adam was equally angry at Marian for using the television station like a psychiatrist's office and at Tad for going and doing something that could jeopardize Dixie, Junior, and Jamie's wellbeing. He also aired a bit of concern that it could create a problem between he and Liza.

Later Tad showed up at the station and Marian wasted no time in lashing out at him again. He asked her how she could be so certain that he was the one who got Liza pregnant. Marian was livid. She said that Liza is not a trollop because she's only been with one man: Tad! And that she is in love with him.

Bobby left the Santoses and headed back for the cafe. He found good friend Kevin there and told him about his recent adventure at Casa Santos. He said that he lied about marrying Kelsey so that Hector and Isabella would go soft on Anita. What Bobby didn't know was that Kelsey was hiding on the other side of the counter listening to his every word. She popped up like a gopher out of its hole in the ground and wasted no time in pressuring Bobby to live up to his word.

The pair then returned to Cortlandt Mansion where life might forever change for the both of them. Opal and Palmer made plans to overhaul Petey's old nursery so that Sam would not have to settle for leftovers. But Bobby was still not thrilled with the marriage idea. Kelsey pressured him by saying that if they go through with it no one will expect it to last long. No teenage romance does. Then, she added, by the time they get divorced he will be free to pursue Anita again. But, she quickly pointed out, he would have to pay child support.

Still staying away from Wildwind, Maria placed a call to Peggy to make sure that Edmund was not home. Peggy said that Edmund was working late at Tempo and that she did not expect him home. Maria said that she be over to pick up the last of her things in a few minutes. Unbeknownedst to Peggy, Edmund finished his work earlier and had just come home. So when Maria arrived she ran right into Edmund. Peggy swore that she had no idea Edmund would be coming home. This allowed Edmund and Maria to have some much needed time alone. But if your holding you breath for them to get back together, you may wanna sneak in a breath every now and then because it didn't happen today. Maria informed her now estranged husband that the "Maria" he married has packed up her bags and faded away. She said that losing Sam pushed her to the brink and that she would not be back any time soon... if at all. Edmund again told her how much he needed her, but Maria was not willing to give much more than an inch. As the two talked, Dimitri barged in, unaware that Maria and Edmund were talking. Edmund left the scene, probably disgusted that he couldn't get anywhere with the woman he loves. Dimitri and Maria shared another awkward moment. He told her that if she is feeling uneasy about reconciling with Edmund because of their one night of passion, to clear her mind. That night never happened.

The next scenes were some of the best of the week. Janet and Toni paraded around The Attic like witches from Shakespeare. Anyhow, Erica, Toni, and Janet finally enacted revenge against Jonathan. They tied him to Toni's former bed and threatened to conduct medical experiments on him. Toni and Janet jumped on Jonathan to search him for the papers her had found in Stuart's painting. The papers were more than incriminating. Jonathan conducted a series of horrible experiments on people to test his medication. The medication caused heart failure, kidney failure, you name it... an, of course, death. Dr. Kinder pleaded for his release, but no one was going to let him walk away. The ladies were out for blood. Erica nearly changed her mind when Jonathan told her that he could help her get back Dimitri if only she burns the papers. She almost did... but Janet and Toni managed to convince her not to. Jonathan did, however, tell her why Dimitri is furious with her. Erica was enraged that Jonathan intentionally destroyed her marriage by drugging her and making it look they had an affair. But now, how would she get the man she loves back."
