Kelly's Diner:
Tammy(as Luke enters)So how did it go with the judge.
Luke:Just as I wanted it to, thanks to you.
Tammy:It was a pretty slick cone we pulled on him. You slipping him 
something in his drink, then me slipping in bed next to him as you took some 
very compromising pictures of us, together.
Luke:It was the only think I could think of to help Laura out of the current 
mess she's gotten herself into. If Helena's out of power, I won't have any 
problem getting the charges against her drop. But if she's still in power 
you'll be able to pull strings to make sure Laura either spends the rest of 
her life in prison or the nuthouse. The only way to make sure Helena is out 
of power, is for Sonny to be put in charge of the House of Cassadine. Once 
that happens, the Spencer/Cassadine feud will finally be over. I just 
couldn't stand the thought of Laura in Ferncliff or behind bars.
Tammy:That's because you're still in love with her.
Luke:No, that's because she's the mother of my children.
Tammy:Luke, ever since you had to tell Laura her first born child died when 
it was born, I've felt you slipping away from me. Helping Laura get through 
this has reawakened  your old feelings for her.
Luke:Tammy, that's just not true. Once I help Laura out of this mess, we'll 
be getting a divorce.
Tammy:How many times have I heard that before, for something to come up to 
stop it from happening. First, Laura wasn't mentally well, then you had to 
stay with her until she found out Nikolas wasn't really her son, and I'm 
sure somewhere down the line there'll be another reason.
Luke:What Laura and I had is over and there's no going back.
Tammy:I'm not so sure of that. And because of that, I don't think we should 
see each other, anymore. You can consider my help with the judge a parting 
gift.
Luke:You're dumping me.
Tammy:No, I'm setting you free. You no longer have any obligation to me. If 
you really decide to divorce Laura, once you make it legal, we can pick up 
where we left off. But if you and Laura end up working things out, that will 
be fine, too, and our relationship will be a dead issue between us.
Luke:We won't.
Tammuy:We'll see.

Wyndemere:
Bobbie(finds Stefan standing on the cliffs looking down at the waves washing 
against the rocks below)You were gone when I woke-up. I was worried about 
you. Are you all right?
Stefan:I just came out her to do some thinking about what you said to me. 
About me finally being free of the Cassadine empire by letting it go and 
starting a brand new life with you when we get married.
Bobbie:And what have you decided.
Stefan:I don't think I have much choice in the matter, anymore. The judge 
called me up before I came down here. He's reached his decision. He's 
appointing Corinthos as trustee of the Cassadine estate. Unfortunately, 
before you and I can start a new life, there's something I have to tell you 
that I've been keeping from you and after  you hear what I have to say, you 
may no longer wish to start a new life with me, at all.
Bobbie:Are  you sure that I really need to know whatever it is you're 
planning to tell me.
Stefan:(turned to her)Yes, you need to know this before you and I get 
married. If we're going to start a new life together, I want us to start 
with a clean slate. Originally, I never intended to tell you about this, at 
all. I planned to marry you with this secret between us. But now I want you 
to know the truth, because I don't want this to stand between us for the 
rest of our lives.
Bobbie:What is it.
Stefan;I had sex with Veronica Barrett the night of our engagement party.
Bobbie:You did what? Stefan, how could you. I thought you loved me. How 
could you betray me like this and on all nights, the night we celebrated our 
engagement.
Stefan:Barbara, I do love you and that's why I'm telling you this. I don't 
want this secret to cause us to hold back something of ourselves from each 
other. Barbara, I would have never slept with Veronica Barrett if I hadn't 
thought she was you. Roberta Anderson. I felt no attraction to the woman in 
the slightest, but she convinced me she was Roberta Anderson and all the 
feelings I had for you when I knew you as Roberta Anderson, I transferred to 
her. Then she made me think Brenda was our daughter and when I saw Brenda 
die before my eyes I was completely devastated. When I went to Veronica to 
tell her what had happened, she took advantage of the situation. Then one 
thing lead to another and it just seemed natural for to grieving parents to 
share their grief in a physical sense. But, the minute it was over, I felt 
nothing but regret and guilt that it had happened. It meant nothing to me. 
Less than nothing. I was completely disgusted by what I had done with a 
woman I had no real feelings for.
Bobbie:When I came knocking on her door, you were in bed with here, weren't 
you?
Stefan:Yes, I was. When I heard you voice, I was hit by the full impact of 
what I had done. As soon as you were gone, I got dressed and left. Then you 
came to me and told me you were really Roberta Anderson, and my disgust for 
what I had done had turned to repulsion. It all suddenly made sense to me 
why this woman who claimed to be Roberta Anderson made me feel absolutely 
nothing for her. Why she inspired none of the feelings and passion I'd felt 
for Roberta Anderson. And along with the repulsion came fear. Fear that I'd 
lose you, again, if you ever found out what had happened between me and 
Veronica Barrett. I lost you once, and I couldn't bear lose you, again. So, 
I decided to make sure you never found out what I'd done.
Bobbie:But you're telling me about it now.
Stefan:Because I never want anything to stand between us, again. Since we 
met each other in Port Charles the truth that I was really Cass Stephens and 
you were Roberta Anderson hung between us and kept us from being as close as 
we wanted to be to each other. And I don't want that to ever happen again. 
So, I'm willing to risk losing you to make sure it never happens, again. The 
question remains is have I lost you. Now that I've told you the truth, can 
you forgive me for what I've done.
Bobbie:Everything in me that's feeling hurt and betrayed is telling me to 
walk away rom you. To find a way to hurt and betray you the way you've hurt 
and betrayed me. But if I do, I'll only be hurting myself more in the 
bargain. I listened to that voice once before when I learned about you and 
Katherine and that you caused the blackout during Audrey's surgery. And in 
response, I hurt and betrayed you in return, the same way you hurt and 
betrayed me and we ended up getting divorced and eventually finding our way 
back to each other, again. Maybe, if I'd confronted you we wouldn't have 
ended up getting a divorce and we wouldn't have been apart all that time. 
Maybe we could have began our marriage again with no secret between us and 
built our relationship based on a foundation built on honesty and trust, 
like you're trying to do with me now.
Stefan:What are you saying, Barbara?
Bobbie:That I love you. I love you enough to forgive you for this. There 
were extenuating circumstances and under normal circumstances, I don't think 
you would have betrayed me like you did. But if it ever happens, again...
Stefan:(pulled her into his arms)Don't worry, Barbara, this will never 
happen, again. I love you, Barbara. You're the only woman I want or will 
ever want for as long as we both shall live.(He lowered his mouth to hers 
and kissed her, while in the bushes Veronica seethed as her fury began to 
mount. So she meant nothing, eh. Well, she'd just see about that)

The Brownstone:
Robert:(Anna, Jagger and Sean bursted in through the front door.)Sean, you 
and Jagger check down here for Brenda, and Anna and I will check upstairs.
Sean:Will do. Come on, Jagger.(as Robert and Anna headed up the stairs they 
heard a scream of agony and rushed in the direction the sound came from. 
They halted in their tracks as they found Brenda on the floor panting for 
air)
Brenda:Thank god you're here. You two have got to help me. I'm having my 
baby, now. (then she screamed in pain as she was hit by another contraction)














Will February Sweeps be a dud?
