UPDATE THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 17

1. AN UNWELCOME VISITOR

Katherine is still hanging around Laura's.  Laura is cleaning her oven.
Katherine is in white, of course, but Laura somehow manages to resist the
temptation to have an "accident" with the oven grease.  She's a better
woman than Your Fearless Updater. Katherine asks about Luke and tells
Laura that she's living with the Quartermaines. She tells about her latest
birthday party fiasco.  [You'd think Katherine would learn.  She is not
meant to have good parties!]  Again, she wants details of the night of
her "death." Laura suggests she read the transcript.  Katherine thinks
Laura and Stefan are hiding something.  She thinks that Laura loves Stefan.
Laura finally succeeds in getting rid of her.

2. EMILY THE PROFESSIONAL

Emily comes for a photo shoot and sees Brenda's picture.  Nik comes by,
and Emily,  as a Brenda memorial, falls apart.  Tom, the photographer,
states that "Brenda understood the work always came first."  Your Fearless
Updater's mouth drops open and she says "HUH?"

It's a bridal shoot and Emily is thinking about Brenda's wedding.  Nik
comforts her and she is able to complete the shot.

3. DARA THE DEFENDER OF THE LAW

Taggart asks prickly Dara when the bust is going down.  Dara is all
attitude over Justus, but Taggart tells her it's John and Jerry Jacks.
She twinkles at him: "You did this for me, didn't you?"  Then she calls
Justus.

Justus comes by.  He's making major changes in his life.  Dara is mad
because he sold out the Jacks family.

4.  MISSING BRENDA

Jerry lets Julia into Jax' apartment.  She gives Jax hell for not
keeping Brenda safe.  Jax fights back, saying Julia always wanted to
control her.

There's a Brenda retrospective.  Your Fearless Updater remembers when
Brenda was interesting, and vibrant.  She's always been pretty, but the whole
wearing-a-wire flirting-with-Miguel Sonny-loves-me who-will-I-marry stuff
got really old.  [And, in YFU's opinion, the last year or so Marcil has
been phoning in her performances, till the final month, when she showed,
again, that she CAN act.]

A generally boring day.
