ONE LIFE TO LIVE RECAP FOR MONDAY, APRIL 23, 2001
 
<<< BACK TO RECAPS  INDEX

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!

Jen told Will that she was in Colin's house the night he disappeared and
had seen everything! She wanted to talk but Will was adamant about
remaining silent! Jen didn't know if she could get through the ordeal but
Will didn't want her to confide in him and said he didn't need to know!

RECTORY 'REFUSE'

Lindsay torched the letter from Colin in the wastebasket at Andrew's
office! She poured nail polish remover on them and dropped the lit match
as Bo and Nora entered the room and quickly put it out! Nora tried in
vain to read the parts that weren't burned and Lindsay said she had no
right to read them! They were only to be read if Colin were found dead!
Nora told her she had no right to burn them!

'VIKI'S'? REVENGE...

Ben told Gina he knew she was behind everything, all of it! She had told
Asa that every hit after the one at the wedding was just 'show'! They had
a huge fight and she admitted to being the crime boss! He wanted her to
tell 'him' why she had made he and Viki believe he would be killed or she
could tell it to his brother! He would call Bo, the police commissioner
and give him all the details!

SOMETHING 'FISHY'

Max asked Nigel to run him a bath and when he set to the task he found
'Miss Starr' lying in wait for him! It was none of Nigel's business how
she had gotten there, but he was going to help her or she would tell Asa
all about his 'secret'! She had some bath 'toys' for Max!

TILL THE FAT LADY...

Blair wondered what Todd could possibly do to her, hadn't he done it all!
She asked to be left alone and he asked her to come with him. He then
turned her over his shoulder and began to carry her from the room! Kelly
walked in and picked up a vase to threaten him and when she swung it the
flowers shot out and water rained down on her head! Todd laughed but
Blair didn't find it funny and said it was over between them. When he had
gone, Blair cried to Kelly that she loved him and how was she going to
live without him!

BEN'S 'BOMBSHELL'

Gina asked Ben not to call Bo, she hadn't been able to live without him
since they were kids! He had been her hopes and dreams and courage, but
he told her to 'save it'! She spoke of her father's death and how her
brother had avenged it by spilling too much blood! She had been
'approached' and told that if she didn't find a way to stop Tommy, he
would be killed! She had to do 'something', so she became the crime boss!
She didn't want Ben to hate her and so hadn't told him, she wanted to be
the girl he remembered. Viki was ranting in anger as the scene unfolded
before her eyes! Gina only wanted Ben at her side, but he said it was
'over'! She said it wasn't, because Rourke wanted him dead!

RECTORY 'REFUSE'

Nora's last hope had gone up in smoke! Lindsay claimed to have prior
knowledge of the letters and had burned them because they slandered Nora!
Sure, they had a few lines mentioning Colin's enjoyment in blaming
Lindsay for a few things. The main thing was that no one else would read
about the 'disgusting' things that he had done while Nora lay helpless in
his bed!

IT AIN'T OVER TILL...

Blair told Kelly that she kept rejecting Todd! He had seen her in bed
with Max and it had driven him mad! Max had driven Todd to the edge and
now he would probably never be able to trust anyone! Kelly felt that no
one could save Todd, he was beyond redemption. Loving Todd was a 'life
sentence'! Kelly thought that their 'plan' would work on Max, if Blair
were willing to give up Todd!

SHRUNKEN HEAD

Todd ran into Rae's house screaming for her at the top of his lungs! He
sat on her couch and conducted his own therapy session. He didn't want to
be like his father, he wanted to be normal but it seemed he only excelled
at being mean! Finding a diagnostic manual, he admitted that he was
scared of his feelings and beliefs and reading further, felt he had
become delusional! Blair didn't love him, he must have made it up! He was
angry with Rae for not being there, no one was ever there when he needed
them! He needed help, he needed to be 'saved'! 

A LITTLE 'FISHY'!

Nigel headed Max off and told him the bath wasn't yet ready! This gave
'Miss Starr' time to safely leave! Before she did so, she released
several nasty looking fish in the bath water and watched them strip
another live fish down to the spinal column in seconds! 

THREE IS A 'MOB'!

Why had Gina told Asa that the hits were fakes if they weren't! Gina
swore Rourke was after Ben but he swore that Rourke hadn't seemed afraid
of her when he was there! She claimed to want his help in getting Rourke
but he told her to call Bo! To turn state's evidence and put everyone
away for good!

Downstairs watching, 'Viki' began throwing clothes from the suitcase
looking for something to wear! She seemed very angry and smiled when she
found a belt with a large buckle on it!

RECTORY 'REFUSE'

Bo told Lindsay to 'shut up!' Andrew returned and found Lindsay had
destroyed the evidence. Bo pulled out the cuffs but Andrew intervened and
asked that it not be done in his church! He wanted a few moments alone
with Lindsay! They went outside to wait as Andrew laced into Lindsay! She
had cost Bo his marriage and had sworn to change! He may be her last
friend but she was on very shaky ground! He demanded the reason for
burning the letters but she was silent. He could offer understanding, and
she wanted to know who was going to 'forgive' her for what she had done!
He asked if she were ready to give her confession!

DEVIL'S SPAWN!

Jen and Will wound up agreeing that they couldn't tell either Cris or
Jess about what they knew! They hugged and said they had helped each
other during the dark times with their parents and they would make it
through this too!

DEVIL'S ADVOCATE

Lindsay told Andrew she had lost her mind at the time of the accident!
She had lost her baby, her son and Bo! When Nora came home, she realized
what she had done and swore she would change! She didn't want to go to
jail! That wouldn't allow her to redeem herself and wouldn't give Nora
back her memory! She told him that her kids knew what she had done and
thought she was a monster. She was going to have to live with that for
the rest of her life. She wanted to know what he was going to do...

SHRUNKEN HEAD

Todd decided he knew why Blair didn't love him, he had hurt her
repeatedly! Rae and John made love seem so easy but he couldn't do any of
that! It had never once occurred to him at the wedding that he may have
been set up! He should have trusted Blair but he wasn't able to! He cried
as he raised his fist and told Peter Manning and Victor Lord that he
hated them! Then he raised a hand mirror to his face and said he hated
that man most of all!

GINA MAKES A 'CROWD'!

Ben wanted Gina to give it all up and change her life! She could meet new
people and make new friends! She needed time to think it all out and
wanted him to promise her one thing! That he would remain at her house
until she arrived at her decision. She didn't want Rourke to have the
opportunity to kill him, and he agreed to it. Downstairs, watching the
monitor, 'Viki' took a small scissor to an item of clothing...

RECTORY 'REFUSE'

Lindsay told Bo and Nora she had nothing to say! Andrew said that
Lindsay's words to him were confidential and Bo asked him to press
charges! Arson, or breaking and entering would be fine but Andrew
declined! The church was a sanctuary, and Lindsay was free to come and go
from there! Nora advised Lindsay she'd better spend the rest of her life
in the 'sanctuary' because once she left it, the gloves were off! Bo took
the can and told Lindsay he was taking it to the forensics lab! He wasn't
going to let her get away with it this time! 

THREE LITTLE FISHIES...

Nigel met 'Miss Starr' in the hallway and said he had no knowledge of
what she had done and he didn't want to know! From inside the bathroom,
Max screamed and when Nigel ran from the hallway Starr called him a
chicken!

..THE FAT LADY...

Blair told Kelly she knew that Todd had wanted to be her knight in
shining armor but then had betrayed her! She smiled as she told Kelly
that she was going to 'outcon' Max! She would get them both and her
freedom! With tears in her eyes she told Kelly that her life was going to
be truly happy then!

SHRUNKEN HEAD

Todd eyed himself in a shard of the shattered mirror. Was he loved, or
lovable? Did anyone truly love him, he thought that Starr did! He could
see the love in Blair's eyes and in her pain! He swore he would show her
his love and wouldn't let her down! He headed out with a new plan to set
in motion!
