OLTL SATIRE-PART THIRTY NINE

An OLTL Satire - Part 39 - “Jill doesn’t let me talk about that…”

[This is a work of fiction. It is meant to be satirical in nature.]

WHAT HAPPENS:
1. The make-up room gossip crew gives DJ and ET a cake.
2. Will “Ange” find out JFP is still smoking and broke the rules?
3. Bo and Botrina talk about life, love, and Lindsay.
4. Dim is FORCED to give an interview to SOD.
5. Flo got scoop.

RS, KdP, GT, FL, and Dim snuck into LK’s hospital room. LK’s face lit up.
“Congrats,” said RS. Her and GT took the mailbags they were dragging and placed them on the empty bed next to LK.
“How’s the little one?” asked FL. She was holding a handful of balloons.
“All this mail came to the studio for you. Cards, gifts…” said GT smiling at LK.
LK smiled, “I’m overwhelmed,” said LK, “…And Junior is doing just fine. His dad took him for a walk down the hall.”
KdP put her bouquet of flowers on a table next to LK’s bed, “The Cramer girls are reunited again.”
“But, aren’t you guys skipping work?” asked LK.
“Kinda,” said Dim, “We’re calling this our secret squirrel mission.”
Dim handed LK a card, “All the cast and crew signed it. Even Jill.”
“Mighty big of her,” said LK.
“Is it true you called Hunter Tylo?” asked RS.
LK grinned, “hehehe. Yep.”
“You know, Montana BooBee called. She’s on the West Coast and is willing to get a hold of Gloria Allred for you,” grinned Dim.
“Do it,” said KdP, “Give Glo a call.”
“You guys are so sweet. Thanks for all the cards and gifts. Tell the fans that too. I really appreciate their support,” said LK.
RS, KdP, GT, FL, and Dim all grinned.
“Will do,” said RS and Dim.
Just then LK’s husband walked in with the baby. The girls hovered around Laura’s little one making faces and grinning like newly appointed aunts.

Later that afternoon, Dim showed up on the police station set dressed in a 1997 pastel colored power suit. JFP walked up to her.
“Dim, rumor has it you and Robin hired Poisonwood Rosie to steal my Tim and Kale pics,” said JFP crossing her arms. A ciggie hung out of her mouth.
“Ah, what a nasty rumor,” said Dim.
“Well, just to be on the safe side,” said JFP, “I need to remind you who is the boss. You’re giving an interview to SOD after the taping.”
Jill dragged on her ciggie.
“Oh joy,” said Dim.
RSW and the director, Gary Donetelli, walked on the set. Dim and RSW took their places and the scene began.
Bo was cussing at his computer when Botrina walked into his office. She was holding a brown paper bag.
“Trina!” said Bo smiling.
She took the seat across from his desk, “Dad!”
She pulled out two sandwiches from the bag and handed him one, “Lunch?”
“So what brings the head of Buchanan Enterprises to the police station?”
asked Bo taking a bite out of his sandwich.
“Dad - I’m concerned about you. You’ve been hanging out with Lindsay a lot lately,” said Botrina chewing on her sandwich.
“Well, Lindsay is the lessor of two evils,” said Bo.
“I’m no fan of Nora - but Lindsay? She’s like…Loonsay!” exclaimed Botrina.
“You and RJ aren’t tripping the light fantastic,” said Bo kicking his feet up on his desk, “You two have been at each other’s throats since you lost the baby.”
“Blah, blah, blah,” said Botrina, “Doesn’t love suck?”
“It all depends on who is writing the story,” said Bo.
Bo and Botrina smiled. The scene ended.

Later on that day, the usual suspects gathered in the make-up room. Unusual suspects such as RSW, HBS, PC, ES, PE, and PM showed up. So did TG.
DJ and ET walked up to TG.
“Tim, what brings you here?” asked DJ.
“Yeah,” said ET, “Usually you do dinner with Jill.”
Before TG could answer, DF, JSS, and Poisonwood walked in carrying a great big cake. On the top of the cake it said, “HAPPY B-DAY DON AND ERIN!”
There were a total of 41 candles on the cake representing their combined ages.
DJ and ET were touched.
Everyone sang, “Happy Birthday.”
“Guys, I’m so touched,” said ET, “Just think - now I can vote for president. I just can’t legally drink.”
FL walked up to DJ and gave him a gift. It was a pic of her in a brass frame.
DJ’s face lit up and he read what she wrote, “To Joey from Téa. No. All the best, Flo.”
Dim walked up to RS, “Robin, Jill suspects. She’s making me give an interview.”
“Jill with a clue? That’s scary,” said RS, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of mail call.”
“Thanks Robin,” said Dim. She went to go give her interview.
As Dim walked out she saw Angela Shapiro walking down the halls, looking for Jill.
AS stopped Dim, “Hey Dim, have you seen Jill?”
“Ah, no,” said Dim.
AS sniffed the air, “Does it smell like ciggies in here or is it just me?”
Dim smiled, “Ah…yeah…it smells like ciggies…”

Dim was tight lipped with the interviewer.
“So, Dim, how does the cast feel about the recent changes?” asked the interviewer.
“Jill doesn’t let me talk about that…” said Dim.
“I hear you and Robin Strasser plot against Jill all the time,” said the interviewer.
“Jill doesn’t let me talk about that…” said Dim.
“How come Botrina wears 1997 pastel power suits?” asked the interviewer.
“Jill doesn’t…” started Dim.
“Let me guess. Jill doesn’t let you talk about that either,” said the interviewer.
“Yep,” said Dim smiling.

Late…late…late…in the evening, Dim, Flo, EP, TDS, and JSS were drinking H20 in Dim and Flo’s dressing room. Two big packages, one addressed to Flo and one addressed to Dim were on their dressing room tables.
“Hey Flo, what’s the package for?” asked TDS.
“Oh, my fan club, the Téa Delgado Bar Association sent it to me. It’s a years supply of cough drops - ‘cos my throat is getting awfully sore from all the gagging I’ve been doing recently,” explained FL.
They all giggled.
“So, Dim, what’s your package for?” asked JSS.
“Well, SEW and the Botrina Tran Testosterone Brigade sent it to me. Seems they got upset seeing me in 1997 pastel power suits and sent me some brand new fashion conscious power suits,” explained Dim.
“That Jill. She’ll do anything to pinch a penny,” said EP, “I was going to ask her for a new charm bag too!”
“So Flo, got scoop?” asked TDS.
“Sykes kisses Téa. I gag a lot,” said FL grinning, “But really - John Bolger is a nice guy. I heard he was hot on Another World.”
“So was Mark Pinter,” said Dim, “Got chemistry with him?”
Just then there was a knock on the door. JSS opened the door.
“Postcard for Ms. Lozano,” said the dude.
JSS took it and handed it to Flo.
Flo read, “Flo, I heard about your sore throat. Halls cough drops works well. By the way, I LOVE your new ‘do. It kinda reminds me of mine. I see Téa still loves Todd. Warms my heart. You should come by sometime with Chris to B.S. and we’ll do dinner. P.S. I miss you too Flo. Rog.”
“That Rog! He’s so sweet,” said TDS.
“Yeah. I miss Rog,” said FL.
