OLTL—Friday–8/6—A Surprise Ending!


So much happened today, I don't even know where to start. There were several cliff hangers that will now open up new storylines.  But let me just say—Nothing is better than a surprise ending!!!!

[Sure, I was expecting something to happen, but not what actually DID happen, and I jumped out of my chair a bit.  LOL.]

Nora asks Eli to come by her office and she tells him she got a call from St. Ann's about Hannah's overdose.  He acts surprised, but you can tell he is relieved—until Nora tells him she survived.  He almost has a coronary on the spot.  Nora has to ask him if he is okay.

Téa explains to Danielle and Todd that she wants to go away to a hospice so they won't have to see her deteriorate further and further.  That conversation doesn't go well, to say the least and Dani locks herself in her room.


[I am hopeful the hospice experience will turn out as I suggested yesterday—a place where Eli thinks he can take control of Téa's demise.  But, maybe if he can be stopped in time—her brain tumor can be reversed.  Of course, in keeping with the true soap opera tradition.]

James drops by Starr and Cole's apt. while Cole coincidentally drops by the Ford brother's apt.  Cole wants the truth about Hannah attacking Ford, but Ford doesn't give up an iota.  James bares his soul to Starr about his feelings for her and how he doesn't think she seems that happy with Cole.  She tries to get him to leave, but Cole returns and finds them together.  Cole stays completely under control and gets James to leave.  Cole questions Starr's feelings, but she tells him, HE is everything she needs.

Bo helps Inez make a decision about telling Nate he has two brothers.  Bobby and James open their apartment door to find Nate and Inez staring at them.

Blair goes to John McBain's office to tell him to back off of Eli and that he and Kelly are both out of their minds.  "Eli is a good guy."  While they are arguing back and forth, Layla comes in and tells John about Evangeline.  Blair is very moved by the news and tells John they can talk later.  After she leaves, John cries!  He asks Layla to sit down and chat with him about everything that happened and she gets around to the subject of the living will and mentions Bennett Thompson.

John almost has his own mini-coronary when he hears her say Bennett Thompson, but he keeps his cool.  He asks her a few questions and then she tells him that Vange had a file on him that was among the papers she brought back with her to Llanview.

As they are talking, Eli happens to arrive outside McBain's office and overhears the conversation, thus learning about the file.  He then rushes off.

John says he would like to see the file because it relates to a case he is working on.  Layla says she will tell Chris to bring it to the station.  During her phone conversation with Chris, guess who comes into their apartment, [Have you ever noticed how no one ever locks their doors in Llanview?!?!] and then, WHAM-O, Chris gets hit over the head by guess who!

[Hopefully, Eli will be in such a hurry to grab the file and get out of there, he won't notice that his mug shot photo has fallen out and it is now on the floor UNDER the coffee table.]

Dun, dun, da.....  See ya next week.
