One Life to Live 12/28/1988

Melinda is worried that Asa will force her out of her job once he buys WVLE, but Asa assures her she’s a great asset to the station and everyone’s jobs are safe. When Melinda leaves, Asa confides in Bo that he does plan to clean house, and he was just placating Melinda until the deal was finalized. Later, Sarah suggests Bo buy WVLE before Asa has the chance. Viki blames herself for falling for Leo’s scam and disrupting her children’s lives, but Tina tells her not to be so hard on herself. Gabrielle informs Michael that his wife is in town. On set at Fraternity Row, a stagehand is standing in for Megan as the cast tries to acclimate Audrey to her new role one the show, as a private detective. Megan shows up at the studio and apologizes for her behavior yesterday; Randy forgives her and welcomes her back. Jon Russell works with Audrey on acting like a real P.I. Bo announces that Asa’s bid was too late and that he has bought WVLE instead. Gabrielle goes to Llanfair to see Tina (and to spy on Viki for Michael). Leo calls and asks to see Viki immediately at her mountain cabin, swearing he can tell her the identity of her real daughter. Over Tina’s objections, Viki runs off to meet Leo. Gabrielle and Tina follow, but Gabrielle manages to stall, using the snowstorm as an excuse. At the cabin, Viki realizes it is a trap when Lysander and Arthur appear and refuse to let her leave.
