Getting Played Like A Fiddle.

Friday, August 21 2009
Henry decides to help James, Barbara uses Vienna to help Paul, Paul wants to turn James into the police, Liberty feels guilty and Craig and Rosanna fight over Carly.


Rosanna gets a call from the rehab clinic, informing her that Carly can have visitors. Craig and Rosanna bicker over who is going, but Parker interrupts and yells that he is going. Parker wants to apologize to Carly, but Rosanna and Craig assure him Carly is not angry at him for what happened. After Parker leaves for a bike ride, Rosanna yells to Craig that he enabled her drinking and is staying away from her sister! Craig wonders when she became so nasty. Rosanna boasts that the kinder and gentler Craig does not fool her and wonders how many second chances he will ask for. Craig softly tells her that she is beautiful, but the anger and resentment will soon start to show and she will end up alone. He orders her to get used to him being in Carly's life and leaves.



Paul calls the police and tells them James is in Henry's suite! Emily tells Paul she is proud of him and he pulls her into a kiss. She squeals that they have work to do and must file a story about James.



Barbara tells Henry he should get to know his new brother, Paul. Henry tells her that Paul had his chance to get James's money and he blew it. Vienna wakes up and boasts to Barbara that they don't want James's money to contaminate them, but Barbara laughs that she and Henry should get their stories straight. Vienna pulls Henry into the room and asks why Barbara has the wrong idea! Henry thinks he might have been hasty in getting to know his father, but Vienna reminds him he is a monster. Henry points out that she wanted him to give his mom a break, and maybe he should give James the same chance. Vienna doesn't want him to turn into Henry Stenbeck, but Henry assures her that he will always be Henry Coleman.



Liberty pushes Tony away from kissing her. He wants sex, but she just wants to hang out. Parker rides up on his bike and lies that Janet is looking for her. After Tony leaves, Liberty tells Parker to worry about his new girlfriend. Parker tells her she saw him hugging his cousin, Faith. Liberty flashes to Tony kissing her and feels sick. She tells Parker he has a great new life since they split up, but she is a screw-up. Parker gently tells her she is one of the coolest people he knows and she will be fine. He then asks her what is going on with Tony, but she tells him it is not important. Parker tells her about his mom getting better and Liberty assures him that Carly will be so proud of him. Parker is happy they can be friends again.


Paul and Emily head to the police station. Barbara calls Paul and warns him that Henry wants all of the money. Paul tells her Henry can have it and he is turning James over to the police. Barbara screams that he can't, but Paul hangs up on her.


In the Lakeview lobby, Henry overhears the cops looking for James. He takes off for Audrey's suite and is horrified to see her half-naked. He yells at her to get dressed because the police are on their way. Henry then tells James, "Don't worry Dad, I'm not going to let anything happen to you," and wheels him away! Henry takes Audrey and James to hide out in the Lakeview basement.



Barbara arrives at the police station and wants Paul to change his mind about turning James in. Barbara yells that Paul needs the money because he gave all of his to Emily. Paul wants James to know he turned him in, but the police tell Paul that James has vanished and someone must have tipped him off. Paul tells Barbara she can help him or stay out of his life.



Henry returns to his suite to pack up a few things for James and Audrey, but Vienna interrupts him. She thinks he is hiding something, but he lies that he is going to lounge by the pool. Vienna tells him the police are after James and he needs to stay away from him. After Henry takes off to sunbathe, Barbara calls Vienna and informs her that Henry and Audrey are hiding James and she should stab Henry in the back for his own good!



Alone, Rosanna looks at herself in the mirror and tells herself she has a right to be angry.



Craig arrives at the rehab facility, but the staff worker tells him that Carly changed her mind and is not ready to see anyone.

Craig returns home and lies to Rosanna that Carly was happy to see him and is doing much better. Craig leaves for a drink and Rosanna takes a call from the rehab facility. When Craig returns, she tells him he is a lying jerk and she knows Carly refused to see him. Craig admits he lied because he didn't want to see her smug face.


Barbara and Vienna meet in the Lakeview lobby. Vienna feels guilty, but Barbara tells her that James will get under Henry's skin.


Hiding out in the basement, Henry takes a call from Vienna, who orders him not to lie to her. She then tells him she knows he is with James and wants to help him. Henry tells her where they are. Vienna gives the police their location. The police arrive and James turns himself in!



Paul and Emily watch as James is wheeled away. James shows his cuffs and asks Paul, "You did this?"



Henry yells that Vienna tricked him. Vienna tells him she loves him, but Henry claims she betrayed him! Henry wants to see where things can go, but Vienna thinks he is drunk on his dream of his inheritance. Vienna begs him to focus on what they have together.



Parker goes home and asks how Carly is doing. Craig admits he didn't get to see her, but Carly is focusing on herself, which is a part of the healing process. He assures Parker that Carly will always love him. Rosanna apologizes for being so hard on Craig, but he tells her he doesn't blame her.


Liberty calls Tony and tells him they shouldn't hang out anymore because she is not the kind of girl he thinks she is.


At the police station, James asks Barbara to take care of Audrey because he likes his women to stick together. She laughs, "Not in this lifetime." Paul tells James that nature will run its course and he will die in jail and never bother him again. James smiles that Paul finally did something he can be proud of.

Good afternoon to all.

I am glad Paul finally stood up to James, and had him locked up. maybe this new Paul might be a little different, will have to wait and see. Henry must be drunk on the love of money, because James is a low down and dirty snake, and Henry knows this, wake up Henry before it is too late, you will loose it all, if you keep this up, your wife, your life, James will never die off this show, when Anthony/James does really die, they will recast, but no one can play James like Anthony, very good actor. All have a peaceful week end.

i mustv'e miss the day when paul gave emily the money to
start up her new company. now did he give it to her in cash or was it transfered from his account to her's? if it was a check, couldn't he stop payment and reverse the transfer? i'm just asking?

Posted by ladygg at Saturday, August 22 2009 05:54 AM

i'm starting to think maybe just maybe that emily is good for paul (i don't know how long this will last). will she be the driving force behind paul, something that meg was never good at, beside whinning all the time.
when things get rough i think that emily can take james on, since the do have some history. oh, we'll see how this story pans out.
love the scenes between babara and audrey.

ladygg:
Paul gave it to her when he was the nice, sane Paul...then when the old Paul came back, he wanted all his money back, mostly because Barbara wanted him to get it back, we all know how very much she "loves" Emily!!! Sane Paul felt as tho he had all the money, did not know just exactly what to do with it and of course Emily showed him just how to spend it .....oh her!!

can't stand the stuck up Snyder's...they think they are so much better than everyone...let's see Holden get knocked off of his pedestal in jail.

well, it looks like meg is going to have her hands full dealing w lily. you can never compete w a man who thye other woman has a child by (she should know that). she'll go unto the "poor meg syndrome". doesn't she has a baby to deal with or has she put a man in front of all that? shouldv'e stays w paul, who adored her.
