I just read Rich's post about the various problems going on here (that I never even knew about, sheesh!). Anyway, this got me thinking we're already engaging in this vast reality-soap opera... I mean, we've got all the right characters: RICH, the wise head of the dynasty, currently recovering from a vicious and lowly carbomb that blew him sky-high (OK, so it was just a mail bomb - dramatic license, you know) MAX, Rich's misbehaving youngest son, eager to get his hands on the inheritance and the family business ERIC BYCER, falsely suspected of planting the bomb and currently languishing in jail BAS-JAN, charging Eric a fortune for utterly worthless legal advice AMARA, back after a brief stint designing Star Wars T-shirts for the Canadian branch of the Forresters' fashion line (it's a cross-over thing, y'know) DUGGY, temporarily lost in Australia (actually he's off pursuing his film career, just had to find a way to write him out of the story) GERTHEIN, doubting whether or not he should abandon his status as soap icon for a more lucrative job in presenting lousy quiz shows (I suppose practically no-one will get this one - too bad); going through he rough period after his divorce from Rakelle PAULA, providing an element of sin during prime time and currently recovering after last month's tear-jerking operation episode; look forward to the upcoming paternity suit storyline SPIFF, on speed again and feverishly trying to hide it from his colleagues SCOTT, has finally made up his mind and despite emotional pleas will follow through his plan to storm "that other university" riding a longhorn RIMRUNNER, recently revealed to be another suspect in the Rich bombing after forensics turned up traces of Obsidian Stout in the explosives used ALEX, our cherished Winona Ryder-loving psychopath has not been seen in weeks - what can he be up to? USHER, caught with Rakelle and, strangely enough, now persecuted for *not* having rebutted anything JAMES WATSON, desperately trying to get rid of the pissed-upon olive branch that has somehow come into his possession... RAKELLE, the Norwegian connection; is she transmitting subliminal messages encoded with the mysterious Trondheim Translative Telegraph device? DARK RENDAR, providing stirring narrative commentary LOTS OF PEOPLE I FORGOT ABOUT and JAMES KING [the role of James King will be performed by Larry Hagman in tonight's episode] With guest appearances by Justin Beck (episode #567, "Mexican standoff"), Johnny Bravo (episode #602, "A hill of beans"), Scott Caird (episode #411, "...and STAY out!") and A Cast of Thousands (current episode, "No, he didn't!")
