I see some new names showed up overnight.

Yesterday morning, 01/30, @ 10:26 AM I picked up a batch of names and wrote them all in.

I left for the day.

When I returned, I found that Barefoot had suggested a great way to get Cinderella Central and Rocky Banks together while getting Snooper Clinton into the plot.

I went ahead and took care of Bussy Stillwell and Sheba Wakefield in the 7:56 PM episode.

Later on last night I had to point Fumar in the direction of that episode. I hope he can accept the fact that, like I said, our little Sheba is never coming back. - of course, maybe we could get a "meanwhile back in the jungle" scene sometime.

In the 9:17 PM episode last night, I took Barefoot's idea and ran with it. I ran with it in true soap opera fashion. It was the chance to put our beloved heroine Cinderella Central into a romantic situation, like she so desperately needs, with our knight in shining armor, our diamond in the rough, Rocky Banks.

Well, within a few minutes of that episode, I learned from Rocky himself that there is a Mrs. Rocky

I was horrified. What had I wrought - wrote - written? Oh my.

I am afraid I took the absolutely most lame soap opera path of all and told Rocky to make a run for it.

Now, Rocky is out there somewhere and I don't know where he is.

So in case anybody is wondering - Cinderella never, ever spent any quality time with Rocky. She thought about it though, but she did not know about Mrs. Rocky or she would never have thought such thoughts.

Rocky was just helping Cinderella pursue her American Dream, Part Deux, by working hard as her campaign manager. And Rocky is such a good guy that he had no idea what Cinderella was thinking about. - that is if Cinderella, sweetheart that she is, though hard-edged in the business world, was thinking those thoughts which she never would have thought had she known there was a Mrs. Rocky. (Now, I think even Cinderella herself must be thinking that I am protesting far too much.)

I don't care what Snooper Clinton is going around town saying. I cannot let the integrity of Cinderella and/or Rocky remain in question.

(I really think Barefoot should have to go find Rocky. She is the one who got him into this mess.)

I still have to pick up that story line about Maggie Hoyne's past. She may have worked for Rusty Eden, another kind of hard-edged business woman. Even though Rusty Eden ran a classy operation, it still just wasn't the right thing to do. And could that have been where Freckles Sunset left her freckles while trying to work her way through law school?

I just can't get past the fact that Rusty Eden and Freckles Sunset are such perfect loss of innocence names. But I think I had better be careful. This is a PG soap and we want to keep our PG sponsors. Hey, maybe we can get PG itself to sponsor us. Maybe I will just put Rusty and Freckles in a bar. -- although bars are starting to play a little heavily in the plot. That's where we left Tipsy Madison and Skuppy Garfield late last night.

I will be gone for the day with Mr. BB.

I will check in later on the new characters. Hey, I think I need some help - in so many, many ways.
