Dear DOOL fans,

     	I'm sorry you've been deprived of the DOOL updates, but Marie
Carey, who used to write the updates, found that it was taking too much
of her time to take notes on the show, write the update, and post it
every day.  I don't have time to do that either, but I'll try to give a
brief summary of what's been happening lately.

                              -Kelly

-----------------------------------------------

        Shane gave Kimberly Brady a device to erase the video tapes that
Linda Anderson was using to blackmail Kimberly into working as a
prostitute for her.  Kimberly is ecstatic and turns over a new leaf.
She is obviously very taken with Shane, but he keeps his distance,
trying not to get emotionally involved with Kim, but it's not hard to
see that he cares for her.

	A Russian named Leopold Bronsky came to Salem as the impresario
of an ice show.  He is actually the person who is to deliver the third
prism to Meagan.  Then with the three prisms, Stephano can get the
operation he needs to save his life.  Shane and the ISA are onto
Bronsky, though, and they get Kimberly Brady to get friendly with
Bronsky to try and get info on the prism.  (Bronsky knew Kimberly from
Europe and was always infatuated with her.)  Shane was given the job of
persuading Kim to do the job, but he hates having to ask her to do it
since she is so happy to be starting a new life now.  At first Kimberly
is angry at him and slaps his face for asking her to do it.  But then
after she thinks about it a while and realizes she would be helping to
get Stephano, who killed her brother, Roman, she agrees to move in on
Leopold.

	Bo starts dating Meagan to try and get info from her about the
delivery of the third prism.  Hope is heartbroken when she finds out
that Bo is seeing Meagan.

	Melissa has been working at a flower shop delivering flowers for
Barry Reed.  She didn't know it, but Barry was putting cocaine in the
pots that she delivered.  She found out about it eventually, but Barry
frightened her into continuing to deliver the drugs.  One night when she
was about to go out on a delivery, Barry had to go out to the front of
the store for a moment.  Melissa dialed the police and told them to come
to the flower shop and they would find all kinds of drugs.  She didn't
give her name.  Barry came in and caught her.  Barry took off out the
back dragging Melissa with him.  The police raided the place and found
cocaine everywhere.  They then proceeded to search for Barry and
Melissa.  Melissa got away from Barry and went into hiding because she
was afraid she'd have to go to jail if she went back home.  The police
found  Barry and he said Melissa was doing all the drug dealing and he
didn't know anything about it.  All the headlines are about Melissa
Anderson: Debutante Drug Dealer.  Melissa has no money so she tries to
shoplift some food from a small grocery store, where Speed's sister,
Ivy, happens to work.  Ivy catches her but doesn't turn her in.  Instead
she takes Melissa to her apartment and lets her stay there.  Melissa
doesn't tell Ivy her real name.  Pete has started dating Ivy a little
bit, but Ivy calls him P.J., so when she talked to Melissa about her
boyfriend, P.J., Melissa never caught on it was Pete.  Melissa never
knew Ivy's last name, so she never knew she was Speed's sister.  Melissa
decides she is imposing on Ivy so she leaves and goes to see Pete.  Pete
cries and tells her he loves her, but Melissa says she has to leave
Salem and she wants Pete to give her some money.  Pete tries to get her
to stay, but she refuses, so he gives her $90 (all he had) and she heads
out for New York.  She doesn't go to New York, but she wants Pete to
think that's where she went.  Yesterday they showed her staying in a
run-down rooming house, somewhere, but definitely not NY.

   	Ivy and Speed's father is hired by Linda and Alex to burn
Anderson manufacturing.  He is burned badly in the fire and somehow
Tom and Alice Horton came across him.  They immediately started to treat
him.  Tom gave him an injection of morphine for the pain, but it turns
out he was allergic to morphine and died.  The Selenko kids, Speed and
Ivy, are suing Dr. Horton for killing their father by giving him
morphine, which he was allergic to.  They claimed he always wore a medic
alert bracelet, but Dr. H said he definitely was not wearing it that
night (New Year's Eve).  Mrs. H also says this.  Speed has the bracelet
for some reason.  I didn't watch this part (I was in Hawaii during all
this!) so I don't know the circumstances of why Speed has the bracelet.
Anyway, Speed sneaks into the Horton house and plants the bracelet in
the jacket Dr. H was wearing that night.  Marie Horton grabs the coat in
a few minutes and takes it to the cleaners.  Of course, the cleaner
finds the bracelet and remembers the story from the newspaper.  He calls
the Selenkos and tells them and their lawyer, Gwen Davies, about the
bracelet.  Unfortunately, this looks bad for Dr. H.

 	Marlena took a trip to Caracas to try and get inside Stephano's
estate.  She goes in disguised as a maid and finds two cribs in a room.
The cribs have names carved on them - Samantha and Eric.  She returns
home and hires a round the clock bodyguard for herself, Carrie, and the
twins.  Stephano is very taken with Marlena and plans to take her and
the three children to his estate in Caracas to live there with him.
Stephano is staying outside Salem on a farm with a guy named Jimmy
Porterfield.  Stephano disguises himself as Mrs. Lafferty, a wheel-chair
ridden old woman, who Jimmy supposedly takes care of.  Marlena knows
somehow that Jimmy is involved with Stephano.  (I'm not sure how she got
mixed up with Jimmy - must have happened when I was in Hawaii!)  So,
anyway, she tries to see Jimmy every now and then to get some info.
Jimmy and Stephano know that Marlena knows about Jimmy.  However,
Marlena does not know that Mrs. Lafferty is Stephano.   A couple times
Marlena has tried to search Jimmy and Mrs. Lafferty's house while Jimmy
was no there, but Stephano was watching her the whole time through a
2-way mirror.  

	Anna Dimera opens a new company with Alex's financial backing
and is a big success.  She is using Jasmine as her only model.  She was
hoping that by using Jasmine as a model, Jasmine would become more
wordly and Tony would not be attracted to Jasmine anymore, but the plan
does not seem to be working.  Jasmine is still as sweet as ever.

	Liz has a new manager, some real big-name manager.  She is
really excited about this.  But, this manager is being controlled by the
syndicate.  They are trying to get back at Neil by ruining Liz.  I'm not
sure what they are going to do to Liz yet.

	Calliope disguises herself as a debutante, Tiffany Marie something.
Liz sets up a meeting between Tiffany and Eugene's mother to see if
Tiffany is a suitable date for Eug.  Eugene's mom loves Tiffany, so
Tiffany and Eugene have a date.  Eug adores Tif, but Calliope (aka
Tiffany) gets mad because Eugene does not know who Tiffany really is and
he seems to be really interested in Tif.  Confusing, huh?  Eventually,
Eug figures out that Tiffany is really Calliope.  It was a pretty funny
story line.

	Hope takes her final exam at the police academy and goes to the
Body Connection for her nightly soak.  Meanwhile, Meagan is in the
utility closet of the hot tub room wiring up the hot tub to electrocute
Hope when she gets in.  Meagan wants Hope out of Bo's life completely so
she will never  be a threat to her.  While Meagan is in the closet,
Leopold Bronsky and Larry Welch get in the hot tub.  Leopold knows
Larry's father, Victor Chervot, a brilliant Soviet scientist who was
sent to Siberia.  Chervot was the inventor of the prisms.  Leopold
explains to Larry about the prisms and Stephano, etc...  He explains
that the third prism will be delivered to Meagan at the ice show, but
that Victor altered the prism somewhat.  The prism will be frozen when
Meagan receives it.  As it thaws it will change colors.  When it
turns to red, the final color, it will explode, destroying all of Salem,
and a large portion of the state.  He warns Larry to get far away.  He
claims there is no way of stopping this.   

	Meagan overhears all of this and tries to flip the switch on
Leopold to electrocute him, but he gets out too quickly.  The next thing
we know Hope is in the hot tub room getting ready to get in.  On Friday
the last instant of the show showed Hope's foot about to enter the
water.  Yesterday, we see Hope pull her foot away from the water
(whew!).  Next we see Meagan lying in the hot tub! She is lying there
not moving.  Hope calls to her a couple times and she doesn't respond.
Hope goes over to her and when she bends down to touch her, Hope's hair
clip falls into the water and sparks fly everywhere!  Hope screams and
the janitor runs in just as Hope is turning off the electricity in the
utility closet.  The police come and take fingerprints, etc...   It's
obvious to us that Meagan killed herself and tried to make it look like
Hope murdered her.  The only fingerprints the police found were Hope's.
Abe says Hope is their one and only suspect.

 	Well, that's all for now.

p.s.  I just reread this and discovered I kept slipping in and out from
present tense to past.  Sorry!  I wrote it in a big hurry and I don't
have time to fix it.
