OLTL Recap for Thursday, October 23, 2003

Kelly is at Dorian's discussing Blair and Walker. She can't understand how if Dorian hates Walker that much, she can lend him so much money. Kelly tries to convince Dorian to lie off and mind her business. This is Dorian though so that is not going to happen. Kelly finally admits that as long as Blair is with Walker, she is staying away from Kevin. Who at the moment is at Viki’s house telling her how he could not talk to Blair because she went to Vegas with Walker. Kevin lies and says how he is giving up on his vendetta against Walker & will stay out of Blair’s business. Viki is happy but does not believe him.
In Vegas, Walker leaves a sleeping Blair, promising that this is the last time and it is over after this. Flynn is holding a knife to Natalie's throat while both John & Antonio are holding guns on him. Rackemup comes in also holding a gun. Antonio & John drop their weapons and allow Flynn, Rackemup & Natalie to back out of the room. Before the elevator doors close Flynn fires and John falls to the floor. They throw Natalie in the back of a van & Flynn tells her that if he gets what he wants, she will stay alive.
Dorian is trying to convince Kelly that Blair would not hurt her by going after her husband. So in other words Kevin would right, Kelly says. She wants her marriage to work. She needs Dorian's help though. Keep Blair away from Kevin. Dorian says she will help, get a divorce ASAP and take him for every penny he has. Viki tells Kevin that it was a good thing Blair was not home because obviously he is upset that she went to Vegas with Walker, so he is still thinking about her too much. She reminds him that Blair can be only a friend to him. He says that is all he wants. He starts questioning Todd’s disappearance. Does Viki really believe Mitch killed him? She says she is always hoping that he somehow survived. Kevin thinks that if he did then he would find his way back to Blair like he always does. She has to agree that if he were alive, by now he would have contacted Blair.
Back in Vegas, Cristian and Antonio join Jessica and John in Flynn’s room. She tells them how the bullet only grazed John so he cancelled the ambulance. He tells Cristian that his men will find Natalie. Walker comes in to give Flynn the money and is punched in the face by Antonio.
Dorian is too cheerful about looking up a divorce lawyer, but Kelly stops her. Yes, she wanted her help, but to keep Blair and Kevin apart, not to divorce him. Again, Dorian is trying to get her to believe the problem is with Kevin not Blair. Kelly says Blair needs a man to feel complete & thinks that the feelings between her & Kevin are mutual. Dorian tells her that she is the same way and that all the charity work she does is only a ploy to secure her position as Kevin’s wife.
Viki shows Kevin the police report about Todd’s disappearance. They did not find him in Victor’s crypt, yet Blair heard Mitch tell someone that he locked him in there. They speculate that Todd could have gotten out. Kevin questions the ring and Viki tells him it was stolen. He does not tell her that he found it in Walker's desk.
Walker in the meantime is trying to explain who he is & that he is there to give Flynn his cut of Mitch's money. Jessica vouches for him. He says he has no idea where Flynn is & did not know that he took Natalie hostage. Flynn wants to know how the FBI got involved with his operation. Rack 'em up does not know. Natalie says she knew the whole time because she is not dumb like them. She is spunky for someone that is sitting in between two guns. Flynn calls his room and is disappointed to hear Johns still alive. He tells Natalie, aka Bigmouth to tell them she is ok. Flynn tells John that Natalie will live if he gets what he wants. She looks a little scared now.
Walker apologizes to Blair for not being there when she woke up. He said he could not sleep knowing his brother needed money. She says well you gave him a check right, he says no & explains what is going on to her. He tells her that the FBI is after Flynn for rigging bets and he escaped with a hostage. Jessica stops by to see if he was telling the truth about not knowing where Flynn is. He assures her he is. Blair is shocked to hear that Natalie is the hostage. Antonio & Cristian come in & say that Flynn demanded a ransom & wants Walker to deliver it. He says Walker would know why.
