All My Children Update Tuesday 3/27/01
By Glynis
Leo is begging Greenlee to help him out. He says that he was a jerk for
turning her down. She feels that she has been dissed. He admits that he was
insulting, but he didn’t know what to do. He really needs her help. He
explains that he got involved with a loan shark and he is holding the Fidelity
hostage. He was there and escaped. He shows her a rip in his pants. She doesn’t
believe him and the offer is off the table. She is not going to offer the money
again. Mr. Miller is waiting for some cargo or something, and then he is going
to kill Laura, Ryan and Gillian. She thinks that he is being melodramatic. It
doesn’t fit him. He reminds her of all the times that he saved her butt. He
tells her to stay away from him and walks out. Ryan has gone into Gillian’s room and she tells him that Leo went to shore.
He got ashore with the smaller boat. He went through the porthole. There was
nothing else that he could do. Gillian is scared. She is worried that Mr. Miller
doesn’t want them to live after he is done with them. Greenlee calls someone
to check out what Leo said. Roger enters AJ’s and sees his daughter sitting by
herself. He joins her at her table. She wants to know what he wants from her. He
repeats that he had dinner with Erica for Greenlee. It would help Greenlee’s
standing to get on Erica’s good side. She is sure that he is doing this
somehow to benefit himself. He doesn’t feel that she should be angry with him.
He tells her that Erica is a woman that Greenlee could learn from. She doesn’t
let men take advantage of her. She tells him that her ex asked her for money and
she turned him down flat. She is not going to let any man take advantage of her
again. He questions her direction. She kissed a lot of frogs to get over the way
that she was treated as a child. He can’t believe that she doesn’t believe
that he cares for her. Until recently, her trust fund was more important to him
than her. Now the rules have changed and so has he. He has been a selfish man,
but he doesn’t want her to suffer the same fate as her. She has been taking
care of herself for a long time and she will be fine. Vanessa enters the
restaurant and sees Greenlee talking to her father before she walks away. Roger
goes over to her and they talk. He can’t believe that it is really her. He
looks wonderful, but she has still got it. She thinks that he has still got it
too. It has been a lifetime. They remember Tijuana. They don’t remember the
weather but she does remember something. He is still interested in young women.
She warns him that Greenlee is a little bit hard to crack. She has got him all
wrong. He tells her that Greenlee is his daughter. She is shocked at that. Mr. Miller is in the other room on the boat chatting Laura up. He remembers
where he saw her before. She was one of those dirty girls in the dirty porn
magazine. He obviously thinks that this is a green light for him to come on to
her and use her in anyway that he wants. She warns him that she is going to
scream if he comes one step closer to her. She tries to open the door, but Mr.
Miller shuts the door and holds her face. He warns her not to say a word. He
starts pawing her. Laura fights to get away from Mr. Miller. He starts roughing
her up. He slaps her and throws her to the bed. He gets on top of her and then
Ryan enters and beats Mr. Miller up. He ends up knocking him out and Mr. Miller
falls to the ground unconscious. Laura runs to him and he holds her so that she
will feel better. Gillian comes over and Mr. Miller is still knocked out. He is
not going to bother them now. Soon he is going to wake up feeling very angry.
They have to keep their voices down. They start to tie him up and Leo returns.
Laura wants to get off the boat. First Greenlee pushed her off the boat and now
this. Gillian tells her to take a picture of Mr. Miller passed out. They are
discussing how to get out of there and behind them; Mr. Miller’s bodyguard is
slowly opening the door and putting his gun through the crack in the door to aim
it at the kids. He enters and Laura takes a picture of the guard holding his gun
on him. There is a loud sound. It is the coast guard police. They shout for all
aboard. The gunman panics. The police come onto the boat and save the kids.
Derek is there and tells them that he got an anonymous phone call. They are
lucky. Mr. Miller seemed legitimate. Leo sneaks out of the room and goes on deck
to leave. Derek is glad that the kids are okay. Mr. Miller was wanted for tax
evasion. He owes one hundred million dollars. Derek leaves. Gillian brings up
Ryan’s bad investments. He shouldn’t be too hard on Leo. She thanks him for
agreeing not to be too hard on Leo. Bianca is at school with Wilomena. She understands how Bianca had to rat out
Shannon. She was worried about her mother and she feels that she did the right
thing. Wilomena hopes that she would have done the right thing. Wilomena worries
that Shannon is going to put a curse on her. Bianca tells her that Shannon has
to go to rehab and she asked for Bianca’s help. Bianca wants to believe that
Shannon is being sincere asking for her help. Wilomena thinks that Bianca should
borrow her pepper spray. She offers it, but Bianca thinks that she can handle
Shannon. Shannon was with her friend and couldn’t have enjoyed the game that the
school just had because she didn’t do any ecstasy. Shannon and her friends can’t
believe that Bianca had the nerve to show up at the big game. Once Shannon gets
through with Bianca she will never be the same. Shannon and her friends are
watching Bianca and Wilomena. Wilomena warns her to be careful. She has to go,
but warns Bianca not to hang around and let the girls hassle her. The girls go
over to Bianca when she is alone. The girls taunt Bianca. Shannon tells her
friends to back off. They call her a loser and then they see that Shannon doesn’t
like the way that they are acting, or she is acting like she doesn’t like the
way that her friends are acting. Her friends leave. Shannon says that she is
going to the party. Bianca stops her and asks her if she is sure that she should
go to that party. She asked for Bianca’s help and Bianca is trying to help
her. She can’t tell her what to do but she thinks that there is going to be a
good chance that there is going to be drugs at this party. She feels that
Shannon is in a fight for her life and she will fail her test the following
morning. Shannon is sure that she doesn’t have to have the drugs. She didn’t
thinks that she needed help. Bianca didn’t tell her mother that Shannon took
ecstasy to be mean. She wants her to get help. Marcus dumped her because she
bores him now. Shannon hated seeing Mindy in her spot for cheerleading. She just
wants to go to the party and hang out. She thinks that Bianca doesn’t believe
that she can’t get high. That is a lot of pressure to put on herself. Shannon
doesn’t know what to do that night. Bianca thinks that she should write in a
journal. Bianca gives her one of hers. Shannon takes it. Shannon may think that
it is blatant, but it really works. Shannon doesn’t want to take ecstasy
anymore. Writing in a journal really helps Bianca a lot. Journal writing is not
about how good a writer you are. You can write down what you are really feeling.
Her mom read her journal once, but it worked out. She wants Shannon to give
writing a try. She offers Shannon a ride. Shannon is not going to go to the
party. She doesn’t want a ride. After Bianca leaves, Shannon’s friends
reappear and Shannon tells them that she so knows how to get to Bianca now. She
waves the journal at them. Erica is eating with Jack. He is telling her that she should have told Bianca
that her friend Sarah was going to leave town. She is worried that Bianca thinks
that she was trying to keep her from her friend. Jack warns her that she has to
have a good answer for Bianca’s questions when she sees her. Opal enters the
restaurant and though Erica shouts to her, Opal tries to ignore her. Eventually,
Opal comes over and is then acting like she doesn’t know Erica. She doesn’t
know what she would have to talk to Erica about. Opal is mad. Roger Smith is the
reason that Opal is angry. Jack doesn’t know what is going on. Opal tells them
that Roger asked her out so that he could ask questions about Erica. That is the
story of her life. Erica hardly knows the man. Opal is sure that Erica will know
Roger better soon enough. He is separated from his wife. He wasn’t shedding
any tears over his wife. He thinks that he has scared Erica off. He put her off.
Jack wonders if he should talk to this guy. Roger felt really bad for making
Erica think badly about him. He is not falling at Opal’s feet and she is upset
at that. She thinks that she is a dish. Jack thinks that she is a dish. Jack
offers to run a check on Roger because she is not the girl next door. He will do
it for her if she wants him to. Opal and Erica don’t think that Roger is not a
fortune hunter. Erica thinks that Roger is debonair. Jack’s beeper goes off
and he has to go. He is feeling dumped on because the women think that Roger is
so great and they are not talking to him. He leaves. Opal was just acting out
her inner child over the way that Roger treated her. Opal thinks that Roger is
cute and he is to die for. He only has eyes for Erica though. It has been a
while for Opal to get a man. Erica wants to know what roger wanted to know about
her. Roger was surprised by how down to earth Erica was. She was just being her.
He was also talking about her campaign for Teens Against Addiction. He wanted to
make a donation, but he thought that he might looked too Machiavellian. Erica
thinks that she might have looked too quickly over Roger after all. Erica is
going to help Opal get someone to love. She suggests the chef in accounting.
Opal thinks that nothing is wrong with him except for the rug that he wears on
his head. She would rather have a date with Sean Connery. Greenlee is at AJ’s and she makes a call to make sure that the kids are
okay. She was the anonymous caller. Vanessa and Roger talk about him marrying into the Greenlee fortune. She
never saw him at any events. She tells him that she is now Mrs. Palmer
Courtland. Roger thinks that she has come a long way. She tells him that her son
and his daughter used to live together. He guesses that her son is Leo Duprés.
She wants him to keep quiet about the past. He agrees to keep her secret. He
walks out. Roger walks in and finds the Opal and Erica talking and laughing together. He
goes to sit at the bar and Opal leaves to give them time to talk. She thinks
that she has been too hard on him. She is leaving but thinks that he should call
her sometime. Leo arrives at AJ’s. He finds Greenlee and knows that she was the one that
made the anonymous phone call to save him. She doesn’t say anything.
