ONE LIFE TO LIVE RECAP FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 2001
 
<<< BACK TO RECAPS  INDEX

COMMISH

Hank walked into Bo's office with the results of the hair analysis. Bo
read the report, handed it to Hank and they headed over to Lindsay's
gallery...

'LA GALLERIA'

Cris insisted that he and Jen wanted to take a walk, they weren't running
away, at which Antonio bent the rules and give them fifteen minutes at
the docks! 

Lanie approached her sister wanting to tell her the truth but she began
to walk away. Lanie asked if she remembered the day she wanted to clear
the air, because maybe if they had done, things wouldn't have come down
to 'murder'! 

COLIN'S HOUSE

Nora reeled when Sam came from behind and scared her! She looked at his
hand and seeing his ring, had a flashback from her night with Colin! He
had put a ring on her finger and told her they would be together always!

SAY WHAT?!

Ben couldn't believe that Gina had been to Jess and Will's asking
questions about Viki's 'D.I.D.'! Jess didn't like or trust Gina and
neither did her mother! Gina said she had a cousin with the disease, but
now Jess wondered if she was lying! Ben knew she had a cousin with
problems but wasn't aware that it was 'D.I.D.' Jess noted that his and
Viki's wedding didn't 'register' with Gina, it meant nothing to her! Ben
told Jess he respected her love for her father, but he liked to think of
her as a daughter, he hoped she didn't mind. At this, she smiled and
didn't mind at all as she went into Ben's arms for a hug.

HELP! HELP!

'Viki' was attacking Gina and just as 'she' was about to strike, 'Jean'
took over for 'Tommy'! 'Jean Randolph' informed Gina that her life had
just been spared and she could get her exactly what she wanted! Jean did
not ever feel or express any emotion, therefore she could be
dispassionate enough to dispatch Ben! Answering Gina's question, she
harbored no ill will toward her captor. Her interest in aiding her was
merely to save her 'host's' neck, thereby sparing herself and the others
from certain death! Gina was inclined to vote for 'Niki' but Jean said
that Niki would more likely than not keep Ben for herself and where would
that leave Gina! Gina now wondered if Jean could do it, and if she would!


'LA GALLERIA'

Kelly asked Will about Jess but he was very distracted. Yes, Colin was
dead and Bo thought that either his mother, sister, aunt or girlfriend
did it! That would tend to make a person feel distracted! They continued
to bait each other as in another corner...

Lanie told her sister that nothing would ever be the same once the truth
came out! Lindsay looked upset and told her not to say another word, she
had to 'drop it'! Lindsay had spent months trying to get at the truth and
now she didn't want it! Lindsay reacted with surprise that the 'secret'
was about something other than the night of Colin's disappearance!

Cris told Jen he wasn't angry about her displaying his drawing. He had
been surprised, but not mad. Jen said it was the most beautiful thing
she'd ever seen and could he imagine something having that effect on him!
He just looked at her and smiled! 

COLIN'S HOUSE

Nora told Sam about her most recent memory, that Colin had kissed her and
would have done much 'more' but then the doorbell rang and there had been
pounding on the door! She knew Lanie had been there but didn't hear her
and she couldn't prove it! Maybe Melanie had seen Lindsay kill Colin!

GATE KEEPER

Jean told Gina that she was 'interested' and claimed to need her glasses.
She could be easily persuaded to end the relationship between Ben and
Viki, as she wanted to remain alive! Jean gave Gina a 'performance' that
was incredibly like Viki, and handing Jean the phone, Gina asked her to
prove it! Jean dialed Jessica's number and spoke to her 'daughter'! The
conversation was seamless, until Jess said that Ben was with her and
wanted to speak to Viki. When Ben came on the line, Jean did not respond
and Gina took the phone back! She told Gina she could have handled Ben,
that one did not need to 'feel' the emotions in order to 'perform' them
convincingly! Gina needed assurance that while 
'Jean' was out for a 'face to face' with Ben, that none of the others
would come out! Jean explained that 'she' was the 'gate keeper' and no
one got out without her knowledge!

'MOMMY DEAREST!'

The phone rang as Ben and Jess were about to leave and he insisted she
pick it up! It was Viki and they spoke for a few minutes until Ben got on
the line. He called out to 'Blondie' but 'Jean' did not respond. Jess was
glad to know her mom was fine, and on her end, Jean told Gina not to
touch her, as she couldn't abide contact!

'LA GALLERIA'

Lanie said she wanted to be the one that Lindsay heard the truth from,
and when Will questioned where they were going, she invited him to go
with them into the bedroom for a family conference as it was going to
affect all of them!

Will told Kelly that Jen hadn't killed anyone, but that Colin had gotten
what he deserved!

Antonio said that if Kelly were such a 'good conversationalist', why was
she there alone! She told him that Kevin was in Texas visiting his son
and asked him where Roseanne was! He said that she was working...

At the docks, Cris told Jen the story of his drunk driving and almost
killing Sophia because of his break-up with Jessica!

LOWDOWN!

Outside of her motel room, RJ grabbed Roseanne by the arm and said she
had double crossed and lied to him! She got the information from
Pellegrino, who said the cops would be at the docks! RJ said it was
obvious Sophia knew that Roseanne worked for him, she had figured it out
all by herself! Roseanne insisted that Antonio didn't know anything about
it, she hadn't told him! RJ said that maybe 'he' should!

COLIN'S HOUSE

Sam said that speculation was fine but Nora couldn't back up what she was
saying! She feared she had become her own worst enemy, going after people
for information! She was almost as bad as Lindsay! She only wanted to get
her mind back, she had to know what happened to her! The 'killer' ,
Lindsay, had no doubt saved her from being raped by Colin but had helped
herself too! Now Colin couldn't tell anyone that it was her who had given
Nora the memory erasing drugs! Sam looked strange and Nora questioned
whether or not he knew something about that night!

LOWDOWN!

Roseanne begged RJ not to tell Antonio about her working for him, he
would never forgive her! He wanted to know why he should care about that,
if Sophia knew the truth, it wouldn't be long before everyone else did
too! Roseanne told him that Sophia was 'gone', in rehab somewhere because
she had a bad back injury. She had left without telling Antonio, she was
sure of it! RJ wondered if she thought about the fact that she might have
told someone who 'would' believe her!

DOCK OF THE BAY

Cris told Jen that he and Jess were over and that even the hatred between
him and Will was getting old! He liked Jen before he knew she was related
to Will. He might have held it against her, but now he just liked her for
'her'. He didn't care about Will or anyone else, they didn't matter, just
her!

FINAL MOMENTS...

As Lindsay, Lanie and Will headed off to talk in private, Bo and Hank
arrived. Jen asked if they had the test results and Bo looked at the four
women...

Jess told Ben that her mother didn't want to talk to him. She didn't
understand, didn't get it, it wasn't like her mom! 

Jean coldly informed Gina that she could have handled Ben with no problem
whatsoever. She didn't wish to be married to Ben, or anyone else either!

Sam told Nora he wished he did know something! When he got to Colin's
that night, the house was empty except for Nora! As Nora spoke, Sam found
it hard to believe that the mother of his children could do a 'murder'!

Hank and Bo asked Antonio to escort the 'press', meaning Kelly, out of
the gallery. They had found a match for the hair sample!
