As 1993 rolled around Lauren was happy to be living a lie with Scott as
Brad poked her on the side. It didn't matter either that Brad was married
to Traci Abbott. While the two were screwing one night, Sheila blew in
with a camera. Brad and Lauren were going at it so hot and heavy they
didn't see Sheila taking pictures. Taking a Kodachrome tip from Katherine
Sterling, Sheila had a puzzle made of one photo and sent the pieces one at
a time to Lauren as blackmail thinking she'd turn Scotty over. Lauren
didn't have a clue. She thought the puzzle pieces were part of an ad
campaign and had by then decided she wanted Scott back. At about the same
time the GCN dubbed her 'Lauren Slutmore' as before Sharon Newman replaced
her, Lauren was clearly the city's biggest slut.
Since the puzzle wasn't working, Sheila just popped up in Lauren's face
one day. Needless to say, Lauren was shocked because she, like others,
thought Sheila had died in the fire. Sheila warned Lauren to keep her yap
shut or the photo would show up in family court. Lauren also learned that
Sheila planned to marry Eric and did her best to prevent the wedding while
keeping Scott in the dark concerning Sheila's so-called return from the
dead.
Speaking of dead, Lauren was ready to lay a divorce on Scott unaware that
he was dying from the mystery disease going around those days. At the God
Have Mercy Medical Center as a patient, Scott's blood pressure hit the
roof when Sheila slithered in to say she'd take care of him. Scott
declined and got well enough on his own so that he and Lauren were able to
take a trip to Catalina where they settled their divorce.
It might have been sad had it not been so funny. Scott actually told
Lauren the trip would give him a chance to "frolic with the buffalo" and
that he looked forward to eating "some of the best buffalo burgers this
side of the Mississippi."
On his death bed again, Scott was spitting up blood and Lauren didn't say
a word about it. She did promise not to tell anyone that Sheila was alive,
however. No sooner had Scott kicked the bucket but what Lauren was back in
Brad's arms. She also told Scotty that his daddy had gone to "sleep" and
would never wake again.
Speaking of wakes, Scott's sister, the creepy Christine 'Bug' Blair tried
to muster a tear for the dearly departed and failing miserably, instructed
Clueless to handle the funeral arrangements.
It's interesting to note that in 1994, while Lauren and Brad were doing
the horizontal hoochie, Brad, young stud that he was then, had a heart
attack. As he recovered at the GHM, Traci blew in from New York to say she
was still in love with Brad and got into a cat fight with Lauren over him
which was all for not as Brad didn't want Traci's fat ass anymore and thus
she went back to her husband, Steve Connelly.
And what about Clueless? In 1995 he and the Bug were engaged to be
married. Problem was: Clueless' weenie had been damaged during the
February accident in which Phyllis Summers had tried running both he and
the Bug over. For months Clueless whined that he was "half a man". In May,
while at his office, a smug looking Bug, unable to understand why Clueless
didn't want sex with her, was determined to fix whatever was ailing him.
When Clueless asked what she was up to the Bug replied, "You're a
detective, figure it out."
