New Year Same Old

BIM is a magical place where time is suspended. Things happen slow not because of the heat or the culture but because the clock here forgets to tick. Maybe father time is too busy drinking rum. You can leave here a year and be gone a day and everyone is right where you left them. There's Henny chauffering the boar to do his service, there's the ugly-crazy man on the corner making tourists pay for directions, there's the pregnant girl still pregnant again, there's the old red man with the stick starting out his daily pilgrimage to the shop. One day I'll wake up and the youths will be calling me mums, then again and I'll be gran but one thing's for sure 2006 is waiting for Days of Our Lives 1989 to finish and anyone trying to rush her gets swept with the tide.

no! Days CAN'T leave the 80s on de rock! I need to get there quick to sit in a rum shop and watch Marlena unclip earings to answer the phone.

Dude, Get with the program
Jennifer Horton is pretending to be Katarina Vonwushner having married Lawrence Allemagne (who raped her) to save the returning Frankie and Grandma Horton being kept hostage and breaking the poor heart of Jack Devereaux. Frankie, as it turns out is the real Katarina's brother and Katarina, pretending to be Carly Manning has seduced the poor widower Bo Brady in order to lure him to the Allemagne mansion to meet his demise.
