Since this Week was a little "Wacky", (what Week ISN'T) we're gonna have to cut it off by a day. But only this week. Sorry for the inconvience.

Tuesday, August 3, 1999
Here's Tim, wiping down tables, putting chairs up, you know the usual helping out the Cummings family at his job...when all of a sudden a flash of bad hair in the form of Sara storms in, accusing him of every sin in on the beach, but specifically for breaking up her and Casey. And when the helpless yet deserving Tim tries to defend himself, who else but Daddy Hank come to Sara's rescue. What does Dear Daddy do? What else? If the ex-fiancee of one of your daughters (that I can quote was like a son to you) is suddenly accused by the OTHER daughter (who is known to be jealous and whiny and once brought shame into the family by having that Lewinsky-like affair) of breaking up her relationship with the Baywatch Boy (who's now professed his feelings for the FIRST MENTIONED daughter) what else to do? Fire the boy (Tim). Sure. That'll fix everything. But NOOOOOOOO, Sara has to go tell her Daddy to rehire the SpikeyHair boy.

If I here Benjy's syrupy sweet voice one more time I will really throw the remote at the TV. This time I mean it. How many times does this kid have to beg and plead for his parents to stay together. Come on Ben and Maria, get together already so your kid can color!

Cole (who still reigns as the current Mr. Hotstuff, Dimple Boy, and King of Come-Over-Any-Time-of-Day) demands another paternity test once Annie FINALLY gets to talking to SOMEONE (as opposed to herself) and lets it be known that Cole is Trey's real father. And for some sick and twisted reason, AJ tries to calm Cole down and persuades him to wait until tomorrow. TOMORROW? HELLO AJ have you gone NUTS? Are you holding back yet another time when Cole gets a chance to flash those sweet dimples?

And once more I must witness Olivia, who poured one bourbon too many today (so what else is new?) goes ballistic because of the thought that Trey might now be Cole's (another reminder of a scene I do not want to imagine). But one good thing DOES come out of it...No not an Annie/Cole pairing *sigh* (I can dream, can't I?), but close enough: an Annie/Cole alliance. She helps him make a quick getaway with Trey.

Meg tells Casey she can't stop thinking about their kiss (neither can I, cause it keeps flashbacking to it).

As Ben kicks the sand around on Sunset Beach, Meg and Casey hug and hug and hug and kiss and kiss and kiss and well...let's just say Meg takes control of the situation before Casey can and decides to stop.

There IS one consequence to that Annie/Cole alliance. I have to see Olivia throw ANOTHER tantrum when she finds out Trey's gone.

Why is it that Carmen can't predict that Ricardo's stroke was brought on from that videotape? That's about the ONLY thing she doesn't get feelings on. Ricardo (aka One Great Moment and then Back in the Hospital) finally gets a little excitement in the storyline after he gains control of his right hand. While Ricardo is moving around, Carmen tells Antonio and Gabi about her fear. And guess what Gabi decides to do?: "Oh I know, I'll stay the night with you!"

I knew Michael's sudden switch to physical therapy paid off! He gets the job as Ricardo's physical therapist.

Cole, Annie, Caitlin, Olivia, and AJ (one big happy family) await in anticipation for Trey's test results.

Ahh, the only man in medicine on the beach makes an appearance once again. Tyus informs the Richards clan that Cole is indeed Trey's biological father. I AM ELATED! But Caitlin and Olivia are crushed. Ya ya, I really don't want to see these two whine....

Kansas Girl (Meg) tells Baywatch Boy (Casey) that she isn't going to move out of Surf Central after all and tells him they need to set boundaries as friends. And what "friends", may I ask, kiss passionately in the rain and flashback to it over and over again? Meg is another story as well. She goes, she stays, she goes, she stays... Ben, Casey, Ben, Casey....AHHHHH.

Go Ricardo! First the hand control...now he actually talks! It's ok folks, step back. Nothing to panic over. Our brilliant Det. Torres has now uttered the word, "No."

Meanwhile Gabi freaks and tells Antonio she thinks Ricardo knows. Antonio denies it feverantly and passionately (I do wonder, though, doesn't he have other people to be a priest to?) Yeah yeah, and his right hand moves on its own (trying to remove the wedding ring).

Not only does Caitlin have to remember Cole and Olivia's affair, but I DO TOO! It's okay Caitlin, I CAN SYMPATHIZE! You are not alone---in that area.

Thursday, August 5, 1999
Caitlin and Cole sleep together but all she can picture is Cole and HER MOTHER?! Come on Caitlin, you got sweet cheeks (and I really do mean sweet) in bed with you and ALL you can think about is OLIVIA? (No, I will NOT address the hair factor).

Michael reports for his first day of work as Ricardo's physical therapist (see, those random scenes weren't really a quickly put together storyline).

Gabi has a nightmare that Ricardo found about her little fling with Father Antonio. What better happens than Carmen walking in to see Gabi being comforted by Priest Boy himself?

There's some Annie/Olivia squabble. I lost interest after Olivia opened her mouth.

Ricardo finally gets that darn wedding ring off. And what happens? Mr. Abracadabra Physical Therapist Michael picks it up and puts it on the night stand. Carmen comes in an snatches the thing and unwittingly puts Ricardo into more misery (can't you tell, it was just SOOOOO foreboding).
