Lines: 84 Friday, April 3 - This week, Judge Martell had Brooke and Mark kidnapped to try to get them to tell who the informant was. They shoved drugs down Mark in front of Brooke to try to get the information, but they wouldn't give in. Mark was being held in the Judge's country estate, while Brooke was being held in the stables. Somehow Mark knocked out the guy who was guarding him, and escaped from the mansion by climbing down some scaffolding. He found Brooke, and they escaped. Judge Martell was having a big political party at the estate to announce his candidacy for governor at the same time Brooke and Mark were escaping. From today's episode (the previous happened on Friday), it looks like Brooke and Mark must have run up to the house and crashed the party and told everyone about the judge's involvment with drugs. In the mess that followed, Erica's fiance Mike was critically injured (I think he was shot, but I'm not sure). In today's episode, Mike came out of surgery alright, but he's still in very bad condition. Erica is distraught. She blames Brooke for the entire thing, but I can't figure out why any of this is really Brooke's fault. Tom took off with the baby to keep anyone from trying to kidnap her again. Brooke finally figured out that he had taken the baby to his parents in Wisconsin. Tad is still trying to convince Hillary to marry him. Professor Wallingford had a long talk with Hillary to try to convince her to cancel the wedding with Bob, but she wouldn't listen to him. True to my prediction, they are really setting Zach up for the kill. Cliff told Zach that he was to stay away from Cliff's sister (Linda). Zach got really angry. So he showed up in Cliff's office with the blackmail pictures of Zach and Nina in bed together. He told Cliff that it would cost 20 thousand dollars to keep the pictures out of Man's World magazine (he's also blackmailing Palmer with the same threat). First Cliff denied that the pictures were of Nina. Then Cliff lost his temper and there was a terrible fight. The reporter that works with Brooke at WRCW overheard what was going on and rushed into Cliff's office and broke up the fight. Cliff was yelling the whole time that he was going to kill Zach. Also, Cliff did the surgery on Mike. Now that's he's so upset, will this hurt Mike's chances of survival? Tad also got into a fight with Zach. I don't know what Zach did to Tad, but it had something to do with taking money from Tad. Tad had a fight with Zach in Benny's place and trheatened to kill him. Hillary and Bob overheard what was going on. Later, Hillary went over to Myrtle's to make sure Tad was alright, but he wasn't there. That prompted Tad to come over to the Wallingford's later on to try to talk to Hillary again. He told her that her actions gave out a different message than her words, and it was obvious to everyone that she still loved him (and she admitted to Langley that she really did still love Tad). After the talk, Tad went back over to Myrtle's to try to figure things out. He decided that his problems with Edna could be solved if he was paying her back the $50,000 in installments, so he asked Myrtle for a job at the boutique - "I'll do ANYTHING!" He's afraid that Edna is going to try to have him thrown in jail. If she does try, he said he's going to have to leave Pine Valley again. Back to Zach - Nina, too, has found out what a real louse Zach is. I don't know how she did, but she has realized that the whole hypnosis and healing bit was fake. She's pretty upset. She told Linda that she found out that Zach is an imposter and warned Linda not to tell Zach. Nina wants to tell him and take care of the matter in her own way. After Nina left the room, Linda tried to call Zach to warn him, but he wasn't at home (he was at the hospital fighting with Cliff). So now there's Tad, Nina, Cliff, Daisy, Palmer, Cynthia, Ross, Andrew (Cynthia's son), and possibly Linda. And there are all kinds of witnesses who saw most of them threaten Zach. It's going to really be an interesting murder case - the possibilities of where, when, how (it's got to be by gun, since Cynthia is so hyped up about learning to shoot), who finds the body, who's accused, etc. are just endless. I just hope it happens on a day I go home for lunch, 'cause I don't think I could stand 2 or 3 months of waiting and guessing. --- Karen --- P.S. Thanks to everyone that responded about my first update getting over. Gee, it's nice to know when you're appreciated. And Allen, try to keep posting - I have a lot of information gaps.
