high five you say you have a problem and it involves your husband my soon-to-be ex-husband we are separated doctor you feel that i gave him some bad advice i feel you gave him some very self-serving advice and how am i served oh please don't insult my intelligence you know damn well how this serves you you know something and i'll be completely honest with you when i gave eric that advice i had a feeling that you might react like this but you gave it to him anyway knowing that it was a direct conflict of interest how could you do that taylor that's obviously a breach of ethics i could take you up in front of the medical board for that except for one thing brooke the advice that i gave eric was the only advice i could have given him you and i both know that for the sake of your child you and eric are going to have to work together for a while oh that's good very good let's add a tunic to that in white and with a lace-up shoulder out of the linen fabric out of our belief eric forster stephanie hi no actually that's a good idea i wanted to talk to you anytime you find i'll be here for a while see you then i'm going to put the final touches on these in my office and then um... i'll get them back to you oh yes thanks by the way did uh... did brooke get a hold of you by any chance yeah she was here earlier looking for you yes we talked then you know about uh... stephanie what about stephanie brooke didn't tell you well uh... apparently stephanie wants to see you about something very important brooke didn't mention anything about that you know that's really kind of strange because she made a point of mentioning it to me maybe she forgot brooke and i have a problem of our own right now nothing serious i hope serious enough our baby is having some trouble adjusting to all this i am sorry so much of your life has repercussions on their children involved anyway i'm sure we will all survive of course you will brooke didn't mention what it was that stephanie wanted to talk to me about i'll ask stephanie when i see her well uh... if you need me i'll be in my office if you need me for anything hello mr hayes hello bonnie it's nice to see you again mom and i were just about to get ready to look at this tape caroline so i see when you get into town well can we fix or something no thank you mama let's look at this tape together come on i really want you to see her i'm surprised i'm surprised i'm pleased i mean when you looked at that tape the other day it upset you and why would you want to look at it again now because she was my sister and i gotta get used to that you know you don't she is gone you don't have to get used to her or anything else in this town mama this is where she lived and this is where i'm gonna live now i mean looking at her is like looking in the mirror and i don't want to be afraid of looking at myself why could you just put it on uh... carol you make this cheesecake i want the recipe not me i'll wait till they come up with a

betty broderick story sunday march first how's your day not so good unfortunately well i'll get into that in a minute uh... but what was it you wanted to tell me i had something to tell you well yes brooke said you did what is it let me get this straight she said exactly what well brooke didn't say exactly anything to me she told margo that uh... there was something that uh... you wanted to say to me and then margo told me that sort of uh... who's on first and what's on second yes well i'll admit it's a little complicated anyway what is it i was going to ask you to dinner that's all don't be so thrilled it's not that it's just i expected it was something more just a simple dinner invitation uh... tomorrow or uh... any night that you're free this week well that would be lovely all right you just uh... pick the time and i'll uh... maria go crazy in the kitchen unfortunately i just i can't you can't no well it's no big deal uh... why don't you just pick uh... one night next week it's not as though it's a scheduling problem is it what you alluded to when i walked in do you want to tell me about it fact is you probably could be a great help to me at a time like this i could use your input i'm gonna move back in with broke i realize that eric and i have to help our baby get through this transition but that doesn't mean we have to live together doctor i never suggested that the two of you live together well then what did you suggest look at the problem i have looked at the problem i'm living with the problem i'm sorry i didn't mean to in fly that you weren't but from what i understand this little boy of yours has developed a routine it's a wonderful routine which gives him the kind of security that every child should have he spends quality time with his mommy and daddy every morning and every night unfortunately for him it's been disrupted unavoidably so eric and i are getting a divorce but you can explain that to an eighteen-month-old can you now the problem that you're having seems to occur every morning when he wakes up and at night just before he goes to bed these are the times that he's acting out his aggression is it not why does he do that because he's frustrated broke for the entire span of his life all he knows are these wonderful blissful mornings and nights with his parents now they've been taken away he doesn't like it so what do you think we should do how should we deal with the doctor other than having eric move back in with me whether or not eric moves back in with you is strictly between the two of you i can tell you this though that when a child has established a routine it cannot be disrupted cold turkey without some kind of repercussions he has to be weaned just as he was weaned from the security of the breast he has to be weaned from his two-parent family on an occasional morning or night without his father around you make sure that that particular morning or night is something very special for you and the child something different something fun then you increase the number until eventually he's only used to living with you it's not going to be that difficult not if you and eric are committed to it how long do you think it will take i can't tell you that how long are you willing to give it that's not fair doctor because you know i'll give my son as much time as he needs thank you oh by the way i came to you for advice so that makes this a professional visit it's confidential between you and me i don't want you saying a word to ridge do you understand not one watching that tape is the last thing she needs to do right now i disagree but you saw her she's scared to death yes bonnie she's scared but she also wants to confront that fear he's right mama play it like play the tape how can i ever forget one of my special customers little michael every week he'd come in and every time he'd say his eyes shining stork reason please mrs smith one of those reasons i had to give him immediately the others

available in extra conditioning formula fish police twenty thousand laps under the sea premieres february twenty eight how did you and ridge forester meet in an airplane an airplane well i was coming back from college and he was coming back from a benefit he had been to in chicago when i saw him i just couldn't take my eyes off of him i think i fell in love with him right then and there who said the first words oh he did of course what did he say he said why don't you take a picture why would he say that he accused me of blatantly staring at him well it sounds like you were well i was noticing him a little bit who wouldn't so what happened next well i was a little annoyed with him at his audacity so i ignored him and then a few minutes later a glass of champagne arrived with about a dozen pink roses surrounding it from ridge? yes from ridge where did he get the roses well in first class they usually give every passenger a rosebud with their meal service and somehow ridge had persuaded the stewardess to give them all to him unfortunately that evening no one else had a rose with their meal buying them all wonderful story i think a better story would probably be what he did to persuade the stewardess did he ever tell you i don't want to know that brings me to another question you're moving back in with brooke it's the baby stephanie he's not adjusting well at all i don't understand
