Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

It happened. Finally. Laura talked David into going away with her. She convinced him to sneak out of the house and meet her at the fishing shack. When he arrived, she gave him a lantern to hold so he could stare into the flames. See the colors. Feel the warmth. Suddenly, David said his hands were numb and (BUM-BUM-BUM) he dropped the lantern. Finally. The big fire. The whole story of the phoenix. Laura nearly had David convinced to come to her so they would  be forever together in the fire- when Vicky showed up and broke the trance and saved David. End of story arc-thank goodness. My daughter may have enjoyed Laura’s insulting comebacks, but I found her character to be highly annoying. Rest in peace, I guess.

New story arc (part1): a wealthy art gallery owner finds Sam Evans and wants to do a showing of his work from ten years ago. She needs a dozen paintings and he has one week to find them. Cut to Sam (whose burned hands healed immediately when Laura perished) asking Roger for his old paintings. Roger says he’ll sell them back to Sam for what he paid for them ten years ago- $15,000. Sam, infuriated, says that money was for something else- his silence. Sam reveals that Roger was driving the car that killed a man and Roger framed Burke Devlin for it!

New story arc (part2): a stranger appears at the Blue Whale asking questions about Elizabeth Stoddard (who has made a miraculous recovery upon the fiery death of Laura). The same stranger finds his way to the Collins home and charms his way in to see Elizabeth. Elizabeth is less then thrilled to see Jason McGuire, a man from her past. The last time she saw him was 18 years ago- the same time she decided not to leave the grounds of Collinwood. After being bullied, Elizabeth agrees to allow him to stay at the family home, much to the surprise of Roger. Elizabeth also makes Vicky promise she will not tell anyone that Elizabeth was in the basement. Hmmmmm…
