WOW! Great Chapter! I really have to come back and leave some in depth comments! I lost power Thursday night and just got it back late today. I've been trying to catch up on the net and I've really got to get myself to bed.
For now I am just going to pout that you didn't reveal who Eric's woman is..

OK Here are my comments.

I loved the scene with Taylor and Shelby. Shelby was playing her like a fiddle and Taylor totally deserved it. I hope you throw in the scene of her cattily chatting with her co-workers about her customer of the week.

I had to crack up with Brooke asking Hope if she was eavesdropping again. I'm sure when I find out who Eric's woman is, I'll be like DUH, I totally should have known that. But right now I have no clue who she is. I hope she is revealed in part II.

OMG I LOVE Mary! She is SO EVIL! Cunning, devious and pure evil genius. She's definately her mother's daughter!I'm looking forward to her making Taylors life a living hell.

Ridge & Morgan are interesting. You know I definately believe Ridge is capable of violence against women. And he thinks he's all suave covering his anger, but I think his reaction to Morgan's baby news may also provoke some violence. I hope she takes her time anouncing.

I think I will include Shelby talking to her co-workers. She will figure in the story in more chapters (And, just to satisfy any latent curiosity, she is not Eric's new love. She was waiting on Hope at the time.) Yes, Shelby played Taylor. But, she was totally honest about the fragrances the twins like and (watch future shopping trips) Taylor should have taken her advice.

I love Mary, too. She had so many possibilities in B&B, but they made her quite insipid. She is definitely her mother's daughter, but she has a bit of James in her and develops a soft spot for someone unexpected. (That will make her even more dangerous to those people that she and/or her mother dislike.)

Ridge really does regret taking his anger out on Morgan, but that doesn't mean it won't happen again. Many abusers do feel badly, but they don't change. And I do believe that he might have done the same to Brooke and especially Taylor. but not Caroline. This is just how I've always read him.

Part II will mainly be about planning Felicia's new bedroom line, the trip to the Day Spa, and Jared dealing with his desire for Brooke. But Eric's love will be revealed no later than the first page of Chapter 8 (to the readers and a few characters). I guarantee you the revelation will blow Stephanie's world apart.

Thanks for your thoughts.
