All My Children - Tuesday May 30th, 2016

EPISODE # 59

Written By: Casey Hutchison

Executive Producer: Dawn Hayes

Directed By: James A. Baffico

Afternoon has fallen upon Pine Valley. At Krystal’s Diner, Oliver enters and sees Kathy from a distance. He walks up to her table, and sits down across from her.

OLIVER: Afternoon. I gotta say, I like the remodel.

KATHY: Hey. Longtime no see. And, I do to. Krystal did a good job.

OLIVER: Yeah. Hey, listen, I’m glad I caught you.

KATHY: Really?

OLIVER: Yeah.

KATHY: And, why is that?

OLIVER: Because, I have two tickets to this throwback movie night at Pine Valley Drive In. And, I wondered if you would like to go see it with me.

At Erica’s Penthouse, Erica walks over to Bianca.

ERICA: Honey, I know you feel that way. It is no secret that Joshua did bad things to our family. His family. But, this is your brother.

BIANCA: He almost killed me. He killed my wife. He is just at more fault than Annie. He knocked Kendall out. And, my god. I heard that they don’t even know who or what caused the crash, but I’m sure he did. Therefore, I don’t know how you can stand here and mourn a son that caused so many horrific things to happen.

---

At Liza and Caleb’s Apartment (will be referred to as just Liza’s in the next episode) Liza opens the door, as there is a knock. Madison barges in. Liza turns around, shutting the door.

LIZA: Madison, what brings you by?

MADISON: I need your help?

LIZA: With what?

MADISON: Finding out what caused that car crash, and ultimately lead to our husbands and Joshua Madden’s demise.

At the Chandler Mansion, the wedding has begun in the living room. Marian and Brooke are standing on the left side of the altar, the Reverend in the center, and Adam and Stuart are off to the right. The guess include, Hayley, Lorenzo, and Matteo.

REVEREND: We are gathered here today to celebrate the love of Marian Colby, and Stuart Chandler. Stuart, repeat after me. I Stuart take thee Marian.

STUART: I Stuart, take thee Marian.

REVEREND: To have and to hold. To love and to cherish.

STUART: To have and to hold. To love and to cherish.

REVEREND: In sickness, and in health. For richer for poorer.

STUART: In sickness, and in health. For richer for poorer.

REVEREND: Till death do us part.

STUART: Till death do us part.

REVEREND: Marian, repeat after me. I Marian, take thee Stuart.

MARIAN: I Marian, take thee Stuart.

REVEREND: To have and to hold. To love and to cherish.

MARIAN: To have and to hold. To love and to cherish.

REVEREND: In sickness, and in health. For richer for poorer.

MARIAN: In sickness, and in health. For richer for poorer.

REVEREND: Till death do us part.

MARIAN: Till death do us part.

REVEREND: The couple has written their own vows. However, before we move on to that. I need to ask one question. Does anyone wish to object?

There is a moment of silence. Marian looks over at Brooke.

MARIAN: (sighs) I wish to object.

At Asher’s Apartment, Colby steps back being caught off guard.

ASHER: Are you only here for me because we had sex?

COLBY: That is ludicrous, and you know it.

ASHER: Is it?

COLBY: Asher, I am not some person who goes around acting like a crazed sex junkie. Believe it or not, I connected with you that night.

ASHER: Colby, I tried to talk to you all those times. It is crazy that it took sex for you to see another side. Now, why do you think that is?

COLBY: Asher, we were step siblings. I could not be there for you.

ASHER: But, my dad dies, and that makes it okay?

COLBY: Listen, I am not here because we made love. I am not here because of a future. I am to comfort you over the lost of your father.

ASHER: Colby, all these weeks you have been denying me. Is that because our parents got married? Is that why?

COLBY: Yes, because it was wrong. Asher, we were brother and sister. In my book, that is completely the wrong thing.

ASHER: So, what now? What does the future hold?

Back at Krystal’s Diner, Kathy takes a sip of her coffee.

KATHY: Why would I go out with you?

OLIVER: What do you mean?

KATHY: (sighs) Oliver… you didn’t call. It has been two weeks.

OLIVER: I was caught up with stuff.

KATHY: With what? Doing more drugs?

OLIVER: Okay, yes. I did do cocaine. But, that was once. That is not apart of my personality. That is not apart of my life.

KATHY: (sighs) Okay. Fine. Pick me up at six. And, if I walk out my front door, then you know that I want to go to this movie thing.

OLIVER: Okay.

Back at Liza’s Apartment, Liza and Madison walk into the living room.

LIZA: Madison, I don’t want to do this.

MADISON: Why are you not interested to find out what caused that car crash?

LIZA: Because, my husband is dead. Caleb is gone. He is not coming back. Tomorrow we spread his ashes. After that, I just want to start grieving for what I have lost.

MADISON: Don’t you have the slightest bit of curiosity?

LIZA: Not really. I’m being honest.

Madison looks over Liza’s shoulder, and she sees a bottle of empty red wine, and a glass, that sits on the coffee table.

MADISON: Liza, I am having a hard time too. I am. And, I can see that you are too. It is okay to admit that. It is okay. We both lost something that will forever be remembered. I need to start healing these wounds of mine. And, I need help to do that.

LIZA: I think I will stick with the wine.

MADISON: Does this really numb your pain? Does drinking numb all?

LIZA: It does for me.

MADISON: I know that it can’t forever.

LIZA: It works for now. Honestly, I don’t know what you want from me, Madison. Do you want me to break down? Do you want me to throw a vase across the room? Do you want me to lay in my daughter’s arms, and sob quietly? I think you want me to start living your emotions of this car crash. I assure you this. That will not happen.

Back at Erica’s Penthouse, Bianca sits on the couch.

KENDALL: Bianca, I get that those are your feelings.

JACKSON: We all do.

BIANCA: All of you should feel this way. I know it is selfish for me to tell you how to feel, but in this case; you should feel how I do. This man wrecked our lives. He was not my brother…

ERICA: Bianca, I understand where you are coming from. I didn’t support Joshua, after what he did to our family. However, he is gone forever. For real this time. No Annie. No Orpheus. He is gone. Gone.

JACKSON: Bianca, do you want to go home? Go get something to eat? I think that you need to have a breather.

BIANCA: Uncle Jack, I am clear and sound right now.

KENDALL: Binx, this is more for you to process than anyone else. What Jack was saying, was that he just want to help you in any way he can.

BIANCA: Thanks for the offer, Uncle Jack. But, I can clearly take care of myself. I did when I had an eating disorder, and I did it when I was coming out as a lesbian.

Bianca grabs her purse, and walks out.

BIANCA: Don’t expect me at the funeral.

The door slams shut.

ERICA: (sighs) What are we going to do?

JACKSON: I don’t know.

KENDALL: Well, we have to do something.

ERICA: Yes, yes we do.

At ConFusion, Colby is having a martini. She then flashes back.

(FLASHBACK TO EPISODE 56)

Colby and Asher are making love to one another. They are under the covers, naked, and kissing all over one another.

*

(FLASHBACK TO EPISODE 59)

ASHER: Colby, all these weeks you have been denying me. Is that because our parents got married? Is that why?

COLBY: Yes, because it was wrong. Asher, we were brother and sister. In my book, that is completely the wrong thing.

ASHER: So, what now? What does the future hold?

(PRESENT TIME)

Colby thinks for a second, then gets her wallet out of her purse. She throws a ten on the bar top, under her martini glass, and walks out.

Back at the Chandler Mansion, Brooke stands, as Marian and Stuart break hands.

BROOKE: Marian, don’t do this.

MARIAN: Brooke, I can’t go through with this.

BROOKE: Marian…

STUART: What are you talking about?

MARIAN: Stuart, this morning I saw something horrific.

ADAM: Please don’t tell me she is having visions like that Olivia in Port Charles.

MARIAN: Adam, this is serious.

STUART: Honey, you can tell me. What is it?

MARIAN: After I had gotten ready for the wedding, there was some time for Brooke and I to have to ourselves. (sobs) I decided to read the newspaper. As I flipped to the local news section, there was this headline that read “Deadly Car Crash Kills 3”. I looked to see who it was, and the first person I saw was Scott. Stuart, Scott died in that car accident. That is why he isn’t here today.

STUART: Oh my god. Oh my god. Not my boy.

MARIAN: Shhh. I know. I know.

Marian embraces Stuart, as the two have tears in their eyes.
