Alex Perez History
Note: There isn't
much history on Perez. Her stay in Genoa City was short and generally uneventful.

Say
good-bye and good riddance
by Doris Hill
The word went out throughout the GCN newsroom. Who wants to
write about the stupid good-bye displayed Thursday by attorney Alex Perez?
There was not a single volunteer. Some reporters outright refused. I couldn't understand
it. Didn't anyone find this African safari holdover fascinating? Wasn't that thoughtful
good-bye reason to break out the crying towels?
It reminded me of the time I almost married a man on the
same night he picked me up at a bar. We came to our senses when the drugs wore off but I
continued seeing Johnny until the day he went deep sea fishing and was eaten by a whale.
Because we had been living together at his apartment there was no reason for me to move. I
looked around for somebody to share the rent, picked out a woman I had never met and then
stiffed her by announcing my departure from the city.
I had met members of Johnny's family once or twice so it
was imperative they be informed of my plan to leave. I read somewhere it was common
courtesy. Funny thing, when I called asking them to stop what they were doing and rush
over to my apartment, none of them had the time. They said a good-bye over the phone was
good enough.
I dunno, maybe it makes a difference where one is in the
food chain. When Alex Perez summoned the Winters family together they flocked to her
apartment.
In a way it made sense for Dr. Olivia Winters to show up.
She's had a lot of pent up hated for Perez ever since her former husband took up with the
woman. Behind that squinty-eyed look of concern Winters had to have been saying to
herself, "Good you bitch. Get out of town and stay out."
Why little Nate Hastings had to be there can only be attributed to his thinking Perez was
going to read him a bedtime story. The kid barely knew Perez and couldn't have been
looking forward to having another step-mother.
PainMe Johnson's appearance at the farewell was totally mind boggling. Of all the people
she knew Perez least. There was no reason for Johnson to have dropped whatever she does to
hoof it across town for a bye-bye pity party.
Neil Winters said it best when he told Perez to have a good life and then split for more
mindless dialog with Victoria Newman about who's blaming who for his brother's death. And
just why is Newman so involved in this mess? Didn't she read that memo her daddy put out
years ago? It read that there will be no discussion of personal business on company time.
Newman should have told Winters long ago she didn't want to hear about his personal
problems, gave him a quarter and told him to call somebody who gives a damn.
Perez may be gone but this mindless story is far from over.

Two losers agree on one winner
by Brent Kellogg
After agonizing for weeks over who should be blamed for
the death of local photographer Malcolm Winters it appears a compromise has been reached.
Suspected of having his half-brother killed off, Neil Winters manipulated the woman he had
fallen in love with and his brother's fiancée into believing that it was she who should
accept blame.
Exhausted from all the rehashing, attorney Alex Perez contemplated Winter's theory that
her sweetheart had wanted to smack her for having feelings for his brother. But rather
than smacking a woman Malcolm Winters popped his brother on the jaw that fateful African
night before disappearing into the jungle never to be seen again.
It took a few moments for Perez to accept what she called "garbage." But when
Winters explained having discussed the issue with Victoria Newman over and over and that
Newman agreed that if a finger needed to be pointed at someone Perez was it, the attorney
took the bait hook, line and sinker!
Relieved that she could proudly wear the badge of blame, Perez understood that no amount
of rehash would bring the alleged dead man back.
Buttering up his second victim, Winters convinced Perez it won't be easy putting the past
behind them and moving on but anything else would result in their destruction. To that end
Winters suggested they stop feeling guilty.
The feuding, fussing and general chaos over a molehill that turned into a mountain
complete, Perez is expected to pack her bags and get her ass out of town. Sticking around
would only keep the bad memories alive in a city riddled with people feeling sorry for
themselves.

Do-Nothing Attorney
Praised!
For months, new staff attorney Alex Perez has been working at Newman Enterprises on a very
sketchy HMO case. She has accomplished very little. Reporting directly to Newman yes man
and chief brown-noser, Neil Winters, Perez has successfully wormed her way into Winter's
life and that of Winters half-wit brother, Malcolm. Both men hope to be the first into her
panties.
The love triangle aside, Perez was praised this week by the great Victor Newman for doing
a great job. "You're a damn good lawyer," Newman patronized even though Perez
snubbed the man by ignoring his obvious presence. "I didn't realize you were
here," Perez said apologizing for her temporary blindness. "You two are working
well together. I'm very pleased with your work," Newman spewed and then left Perez
and Winters alone to ponder their sexual needs.
Her eyes squinting, Winters appeared eager to blow the whistle on Dr.
Kimbrough. A despicable act, it is not uncommon. There are doctors who get a rush from
ratting out other physicians.
He
Ain't Heavy, He's My 'Bro
Newman Enterprises top yes man, Neil Winters cleared the air Wednesday when he made
an eleventh hour decision not to sexually pursue co-worker Alex Perez.
Like his brother Malcolm, Winters had fallen in love with Perez but
apparently doesn't want to go through another battle with his brother over the same woman.
In addition, Winters has confirmed his intent to testify in court if necessary on behalf
of his brother's visitation rights case against Olivia Winters.

Lawyer
Reveals Dark Secret
Attorney
Alex Perez revealed Monday one of the deep dark secrets plaguing her soul. The disclosure
did not come as a bombshell. Previous attempts to pry background information out of Perez
had caused the legal eagle to clam up. Speculators thought Perez didn't want to talk about
her past because she had done something unspeakable. As a child for example, she may have
played Cowboys and Indians with the neighborhood kids. During the excitement one day, she
tied her best friend to a post, set the post on fire but was unable to untie the child
when the flames raced out of control. Being responsible for the tragic death of a friend
would certainly be a hard cross to bare.
Perez's
secret turned out to be nothing more than the loss of her father. At age 12, her father
walked out on the family. Ever since, Perez has blamed herself and often wonders what she
did to make the man she says loved her, leave. With better than average resources at her
fingertips, Perez has apparently never sought to find the man.
When
word gets around, Perez will undoubtedly be showered with sympathy. But the cold hard
facts show there are thousands of children who grow up never knowing their parents. A
majority of these children learn to move on with their lives without wallowing in
self-pity.

She
Did It!
Thanks to the clever undercover work of Dr. Olivia Winters, attorney Alex
Perez has obtained enough information to bring down an HMO suspected of providing
financial incentives to doctors which lead to restricted access to health care.
Perez
managed to obtain the information while lurking outside an open office door while Dr.
Winters participated in a phony job interview with an HMO representative. With no idea the
meeting was a sham, the representative told Winters specific details regarding how his HMO
refers patients to specialists, what sort of procedures and prescriptions are allowed, and
how financial incentives are arranged.
How Perez
plans to bring down the HMO remains unclear because the Supreme Court has ruled HMO's
cannot be sued.
Best
Care Anywhere?
Attorney
Alex Perez and medical quack, Dr. Olivia Winters have supposedly cracked the HMO case they
were working on wide open - so what do they do next?
The
dynamic-duo joined forces last week in a plan to get the goods on the Lawson Medical
Group. Dr. Winters went incognito to a job interview pretending to be a doctor looking to
make some extra spending money. During the meeting at Winter's office with Lawson's
representative - with Perez lurking and listening near an open door - Winters was told how
the kickback plan works and that she would be contacted at a later date.
Winters
and Perez were elated. But what did they accomplish? Nothing Lawson Medical does with
regard to withholding certain medical procedures is against the law. If Perez is
interested in doing some real good for the community she might want to investigate why so
many patients under Dr. Winters care end up dead.
Queen
for a day, pretty in pink!
"No
one has ever done anything special for me but then I’ve never known anyone like
you," attorney Alex Perez cooed as the high school prom she never had continued at
Genoa City's most expensive restaurant Monday.
The event raised the eyebrows of some Colonnade Room management types who wondered how,
with his meager income, photographer Malcolm Winters would pay the estimated $3,000 bill.
Pretty in pink, thirty something Perez would have settled for a romantic night at a more
modest coffee house by day, club for all ages by night. The preposterous private dining
affair was a bit much but she appeared to enjoy acting like a teenager at the school prom.
As a disc jockey spun tunes from the 80's, lights and decorations gently floated in the
breeze created by a bobbing photographer taking pictures to document the once in a
lifetime memory.
Dinner was served on silver platters by a waiter wearing white gloves. The only thing
lacking was a traditional King and Queen contest sans Nick and Sharon Newman's Hawaiian
disaster. But head waiter Jock Strap was one step ahead. Like a Jack in the box, a flock
of waiters popped out with a sparkling crown on a velvet pillow for the lucky Perez
complete with a brief ceremony.
"Your wish is my command," Winters said addressing Perez as "my beautiful
Royal Highness" and in general ruining every surprise with silly, street remarks.
Waving her hand, Perez ordered a dance on the balcony. As mood music filled the air the
couple drifted outside. "You did it! You made me feel like a Queen!" Perez mused
trying not to fall over from the weight of a huge corsage Winters had presented her with.

Wedding
bells will ring for ding-a-lings!
The validity of her law degree
questionable, legal beagle Alex Perez has announced her intention to marry local
photographer, Malcolm Winters.
During a meeting with the
grooms' brother Monday, Perez hinted she's ready to move on with her life now that Mr.
Winter's legal battle with his former wife is in the past and remnants of the HMO case she
had been working on have been turned over to the government.
Perez took the advice of
Newman Enterprises chief brown-noser, Neil Winters, who suggested Perez turn the case over
to the Justice Department even though the case was said to have been settled. Considering
Winters is not a lawyer, why Perez didn't think of it will go down in history as one of
those things that happen in Genoa City with absolutely no foundation.
Winters patronized the
initial HMO settlement as, "a win for the little guy" knowing full well that
like the the senior citizen who must spend $400 of a $769 monthly social security check on
prescription drugs, the little guy will reap zero benefits.
No date has been set for
the Winters/Perez marriage. It will be Perez's first and Winters third. Like most in Genoa
City, the marriage is not expected to last longer than a year.

Attorney moving on!
Pleased with the role she played in obtaining a monetary judgment against local HMO
Lawson Medical, Newman Enterprises special attorney Alex Perez surprised the corporate
world Tuesday when she turned down the opportunity of a lifetime.
Top Newman sycophant Neil Winters offered Perez the prospect of writing
her own contract with a salary so large it could bail out the airline industry. But, when
reminded she would be working 'very' closely with Winters, Perez turned the offer down
flat.
Perez's decision appears connected to a personal dilemma she faces of
being close to marrying local photographer Malcolm Winters and her hidden feelings for the
shutterbug's brother. As the Genoa City News projected weeks ago, it can now be confirmed
that Perez will soon join forces with prestigious attorney Michael Baldwin at the law
offices of Baldwin and Williams. It was not immediately determined if Perez will be a full
partner at the firm. |
