ONE LIFE TO LIVE RECAP FOR MONDAY, MARCH 26, 2001
 
<<< BACK TO RECAPS  INDEX

KIDNAPPED

Viki yelled from the locked room where Gina was holding her. There was no
need to yell, the room was soundproofed! She intended to 'keep' Viki,
not do her bodily harm! This would never work because her family would
expect phone calls, and press coverage of her lectures that weren't going
to come! 

MOTHER/SON

Ben spotted Renee at the Palace bar and handed her a photo he'd come
across. It was him as a small boy and she found it endearing. Asa
strolled in and loudly commented on meeting the 'hooker and her out of
wedlock child', but not in such kind terms!

BOMBERMAN!

Why did Todd expected Blair to believe her worries were over when he
didn't have her clothes back! Not yet, but he intended to get them when
nobody was around!

POLICE STATION

Bo and Lanie were leaving the station house for home when Max burst into
the room wanting to have Blair arrested! His credit card had been used to
purchase dolls, manure, jewelry and singing telegrams with pies! Bo
advised him which office to go to give a full list of the items charged
but Max planted himself in Bo's chair! He wasn't about to leave until the
situation was dealt with promptly!

MOB PRINCESS

Gina accused Viki of being overly dramatic! She assured her that Jessica
was safe and would remain that way, as long as Viki was cooperative! Viki
must relax, and everything would soon be made clear to her!

MOTHER-SON-?

Ben told Asa to apologize to Renee but she said Asa wasn't worth the
trouble! Ben told Asa that if he wanted to be near Renee he would have to
go through him first! Renee followed as Asa headed off to a table alone
and told him that he could be as mad as he liked but Ben was their son!
Ben mentioned Max and Renee was shocked to learn that he was still at the
mansion! How could Asa forgive Max and allow him to stay! 

POLICE STATION

Max he was a thief who had swindled Bo's father! Now Max was blackmailing
Asa to prevent him from pressing charges! Max was lucky he'd only been
'back shot', Blair could have blown him away! Bo told Max to leave before
he personally kicked him out!

BOMBERMAN!

Todd told Blair there was a bomb in the police station. He used a voice
diffuser as he phoned the warning into the station and Sophia took the
call! Everyone must evacuate the building immediately! Todd allowed Blair
to remain under the impression that there was no 'real' bomb!

'DUPED PAPA'

Renee told Asa that Max had run a dirty scam and made a fool of him too!
He turned the other cheek for Max but shut the door on his real son! She
had some hard news to deliver herself to Asa so Ben left them alone. Ben
hoped to never have to see Asa's face again! As Ben made his way to the
door, one of Gina's henchmen took his arm! She wanted to see him right
away, he would understand when he got there! It was an emergency!

MOB PRINCESS

Gina was going to tell Ben that Viki was 'gone'. She would team up with
him to find her of course, but the results would be less than pleasing...
Viki felt that Ben couldn't be caught up by the past because he wasn't
stuck there like Gina was! Gina couldn't make Ben leave her! Gina
explained that her father had Ben beaten to within an inch of his life
and threatened both of them! They had been torn apart and she had never
forgotten it! They were meant to be together, and eventually Ben would
see it too! Gina told Viki not to worry if her plan didn't work, she
advised her to think about what she was going to do when it did!

BOMBERMAN

Blair thought the bomb was a joke because Todd had learned his lesson, he
wasn't going to endanger people's lives anymore! She wanted to go with
him but he insisted she remain behind, she might be seen! She wanted to
warn him about the bomb squad's arrival, but he said he would hear them
coming! She would worry until he returned! 

EMERGENCY!

Sophia told Bo about the call, she didn't think it was a crank! He told
her and another officer to evacuate the building and Lanie had to leave!
It was his job to make sure that everyone was out of the building and to
wait for the bomb squad! She planted herself in Bo's 'hot chair' and
refused to leave without him! 

GINA'S PUPPET

Ben told Gina's guy to tell her he was busy but he assured him he really
should go so he agreed.

Asa told Renee they were 'done' and she should have left with Ben! She
was ready to finalize the divorce and was aware that Asa knew Ben was
their child! He had been hurt and he was hurting back! She met Max on her
way out and he asked her what was wrong, she told him to ask his
'father'!

EMERGENCY!

Sophia gathered up as many files as she could hold before getting out!
Todd walked in and realized that Bo and Lanie were still in his office!
Upon the arrival of the bomb squad though, Bo agreed to let them do their
job and they left. Todd hid under one desk and then another when one of
the bomb squad guys went into Bo's office! 

BLAIR & KELLY

Kelly had come up with some strange new ideas for Blair's insanity plea
but Blair she may not need any of them! The prosecution's case may not be
strong enough! They had Blair cold because they had her clothes but
Blair said that Todd was going to take care of the 'details'. Kelly
didn't trust his plan not to backfire!

Todd was searching through the evidence room trying to find the clothes,
as the bomb squad went over the building inch by inch. He finally found
the right package and was about to leave when he realized he was locked
in the steel cage because once the door was shut from inside, it wouldn't
reopen! 

MOB PRINCESS

Gina wanted to know if Viki needed a doctor, having overheard her story
about breast cancer. Viki said the only doctor needed was for Gina's
mind, because it was slipping! 

MOTHER/CON

Renee told Max that he only had the ability to love himself and no one
else! Her love for him had one condition, that his first priority would
be Asa! Now he was living in the mansion and she knew it was due to
blackmail by him!

Max walked over to Asa and asked why Renee was so upset. Asa told him
that he was the creep who had destroyed his marriage!

EMERGENCY!

Bo got a call about the bomb being found and it's location! It was in his
office, under his chair! The bomb squad couldn't remove it because it
would detonate, they could only try to disarm it and that would be
tricky!

Blair walked into the evidence room looking concerned and Todd fairly
screamed at her to get out! She asked if he needed help and he said the
door was a 'little' stuck but she had better go right away!

ASA/CON

Renee had a fit when she found out Max was living in the mansion! Max
knew nothing about relationships! Max wasn't to blame, Asa couldn't see
the truth about the two of them, how much alike they were! Asa grumbled
and went to another table to be alone. He told himself that no 'Holden'
had ever beaten him and he wasn't beaten yet!

FINAL MOMENTS...

The TV in Viki's room came on and she saw Gina talking to her on camera!
Gina got herself into position and then Ben entered the room! She ran
into his arms, telling him she was so glad he was safe! As she held Ben
in her arms, she looked straight at the camera and gave Viki a 'wink'!
Viki's eyes filled with tears and her mouth fell open! 

Bo told Lanie that his office was right on top of the evidence room! If
that bomb went off, a lot of people were going to walk! Suddenly, he
thought he knew who was behind the plan!

Blair told Todd she wouldn't leave! He said the door was stuck shut but
the bomb was real! It was going to blow and when it did, it would take
all of Llanview with it! Blair was stunned when Todd admitted that he
didn't know what to do!
