Baldwin considers Jenkins case!
by Brent
Kellogg
There may be
some justice in Genoa City after all now that self-proclaimed defense attorney - and if
you need a quickie divorce I can handle that too - Michael Baldwin will be defending the
maligned Diane Jenkins should she be charged in connection with the Abbott arson case.
Baldwin's not carved in stone decision came Monday following a discussion with Jenkins
during which she affirmed that she did not set the fire and the paint thinner found in her
vehicle could have been placed there by any number of persons because it was used car
purchased from Dollar Rent-A-Wreck.
As for the sleeping pill Jenkins said she ingested on the night of the fire, "The
test must have been a false positive," Jenkins rationalized clearly without knowledge
that a blood test for barbiturates could not have come back positive if she hadn't taken
the substance. The test would have, as it did, come back negative.
That
there was never a reason for the doctor to perform a blood test is but a minor detail
easily tossed aside and forgotten.
Factual matters notwithstanding, Baldwin asked Jenkins about her "cast" - which
is really a leg brace - and was told, "My X-rays are horrific," which perhaps in
her warped mind are, but in reality wouldn't have been. Other than causing Jenkins some
mental anguish she was up and walking within hours no worse for wear after having a broken
leg set.
And why Baldwin asked Jenkins anything will forever remain a mystery because, "It
doesn't make any difference to me if you’re guilty or not," he concluded
indicating his final decision to represent her would come later.
As it turned out, later was at the Genoa City Police Department where Baldwin asked
detective Hank Weber what the evidence is against Jenkins. Citing strict department policy
not to discuss cases with lawyers until their clients have been arrested, Weber refused to
say and neither Baldwin nor Weber thought of the legal loophole which allows private
detectives and lawyers to sit in on defendant interrogations in which they have a clear
bias as in the recent Tricia Dennison case.
Citing an unwritten rule that lowly public servants are paid with taxpayer dollars and
therefore Weber has an obligation to tell what he knows, Baldwin pressed for answers
indicative of one anxious to take on a high profile case.
In a related development, former suspect Phyllis Abbott continued pushing the envelope
Monday when she demanded Weber go after Jenkins and brazenly said she still fears the
woman. Abbott did not mention that she continues to badger Jenkins or that Jenkins once
had a restraining order against her.
Weber reiterated that the evidence against Jenkins is weak, but in good time the situation
could change in which case Jenkins would be arrested. And just in case Weber needed one
more tiny item to cram into his issue-saturated cerebellum, he might have wondered why
Abbott is pressing the issue when anyone who just came within spitting distance of a life
in prison would be off somewhere thanking their lucky stars and wanting to stay as far
away as possible from anything resembling the law.

Bug opens nest to intruder
by Michael
Kelly
Deciding that
convenience is the mother of invention when it comes to screwing the woman he once
sexually harassed and attempted to rape, enterprisingly efficient attorney Michael Baldwin
hauled a second hand piece of Samsonite luggage into the fancy flat of law partner
Christine "Bug" Blair so that he'd have a spare pair of shorts, a tooth brush,
and deodorant close at hand if they decide to fornicate!
Baldwin brought Bug back to her home sweet home after the pillaging little Viking and his
"lusty wench" devoured a dinner of carnivorous veal, chocolate cake, and cheap
wine.
Blair must have been deliriously distracted after her encounter with her ex-husband's
witchy woman of a new wife because it took her a few minutes to notice Mikey lugged his
luggage into her lair.
When she finally noticed Baldwin's bag, and asked him about it, Mikey remarked, "I
thought I should be prepared in case I need a change of clothes. For whatever
reason."
Gamely biting the brutish boy scout's bait, Bug bubbled, "Michael, would you like to
leave that bag here?"
Is Dubya a war monger who'd love to mount Saddam's slaughtered mug above his mantle?
In that case, the critter offered her favorite fiend half of her closet space and medicine
cabinet!
While lounging lazily on her couch, miss priss gave her paramour directions to her
bedroom, bathroom, and beyond.
Tickled pink that his former prey is perverse enough to play along without a fight,
Baldwin gave Bug a sloppy smooch, grabbed his grab bag, and skipped upstairs.
With lickety split speed, Mikey returned to the living room, and announced that her closet
was now crammed with his crap, but he avoided messing with the medicine cabinet because he
knows how fussy women folk are about "their products."
Little did the West Nile virus carrying critter realize that while Baldwin was in her
boudoir and bathroom, he made himself all too curiously comfortable by sniffing her
lingerie and counting her tampons.
Quickly at ease with their arrangement, the repulsive pair made plans to appallingly
advertise their revolting relationship yet again by turning up at the baptism of Blair's
ex-husband's boy child.
It's interesting to speculate how long Mikey's been brewing his latest malevolent
maneuver. Has he had the suitcase sitting in the back seat of his sedan for weeks while
waiting for another invite into Bug's domestic domain?
Usually, the arrogant creepy crawler doesn't take kindly to anyone behaving so brazenly.
Perhaps, Blair is so grateful that Baldwin's bent but juicy chicken mcnugget is small
enough not to leave her sore after sex that she wants him to give her the old "in and
out" on a regular basis.
At least now these two sordidly sleazy sex pistols can indulge in their vile amorous
misadventures without an audience.
Or perhaps without the public's peepers cast upon them, the thrill will soon evaporate.
If so, these sinister swingers could always give bestiality a whirl.

Law office lay
by Michael
Kelly
Hot on
the heels of a heated confrontation with the ex-husband she's still hot for, sexually
frustrated, and emotionally vulnerable legal eagle Christine "Bug" Blair
deliriously decided Monday to christen the couch in her office by opening her legs for the
law partner who tried to rape her almost a decade ago!
Earlier, the albino attorney and her inept investigator former husband Paul
"Clueless" Williams wrestled with the wince worthy question "Where do we go
from here?"
While Williams admitted he still had feelings for the alabaster insect, the emotions were
like an itch he just couldn't scratch.
He has a wayward wife and a boy child to worry about. The three of them had formed a
family he refused to fracture.
Undaunted, Blair regurgitated the former bordello babe's infamous misdeeds. Dizzy Izzy
seduced Williams in his own home, became pregnant, and even fibbed for a time that Michael
Baldwin was the big daddy.
The mentally deficient detective droned that he was aware of all that, but it doesn't mean
a damn thing. He won't walk away from the sluttish spouse he half heartedly admitted he
"cares for," and the child he thinks is his. Not for the Bug, not for anyone!
Like two punch drunk prize fighters, the two began arguing about which one of them had
"given up" on their marriage first.
Blair believed Inspector Gadget would never have moved a client into their happy home and
screwed her if he was committed to their union.
Meanwhile, Williams whined that he'd been abandoned for months and was as starved for sex
and female companionship as emaciated Ethiopian children are for food.
Besides, didn't practical Paul forgive and forget Blair back in 1996 when she shagged her
one hit wonder rocker ex-husband Danny Romalotti right before their wedding?
Reprimanding his former spouse for wanting what she can't have, and for treating him like
dirt one moment, and mooning over him the next, the grumbling gumshoe finally had enough
and left Blair's legal lair in a huff.
Little did the divorced duo know that across town, the current Mrs. Williams and
co-conspirator Baldwin quarreled over the right way to keep the two apart.
Typical of her chewed up, brothel broad past, Dizzy Izzy indelicately demanded Mikey get
the critter he craves in the sack post haste!
When Baldwin broached the sensible suggestion of slowly and steadily winning the romantic
race with Bug, the impatient, unholy hussy harshly harped that if necessary, Mikey should
use "force" to sexually conquer the crusader!
Ostentatiously and foolishly offended at the mere mention of attempting again what he
thought nothing of savagely subjecting Blair to 10 years before, Baldwin blanched, and
barked like a two faced Bible thumper, "You wash your mouth out with soap!"
Unrepentant roach that she is, Dizzy Izzy declared it's high time Mikey removed the high
and mighty Ice Maiden from her pedestal.
But if Baldwin's not man enough for the erotic job, he should find someone who is! Anyone
else. And fast!
Even if Bug had a one night stand with some slime covered slug off the street, it would be
enough. Of course, Clueless would have to learn of his ex-wife's raunchy romp to be
certain she had "moved on."
Out of left field, Mikey felt the need to remind Mrs. Williams not to flap her gums to the
gumshoe about the fact that the barrister hired her to bust up Blair's marriage to the
dolt-ish detective.
Incredibly, dumb as a doornail Dizzy Izzy had to be convinced yet again by Baldwin to keep
her fat lip zipped!
Once Mikey had managed to muzzle Mrs. Williams' suddenly stupid, ill timed attack of
integrity, he returned to the office.
All too aware she had just had a pow-wow with Paulie, Baldwin crept into the counselor
critter's cocoon as carefully as an interloper ambling on hallowed ground.
Finding her staring out the window, Michael attempted to cease the atmosphere of eerie
silence, but the Bug didn't want to gab about the investigator or anything else.
Respecting Her Majesty's privacy, Baldwin began to softly skulk away when Blair called out
his name out of the blue.
Once he had obediently back-tracked like a good boy, Mikey was taken by euphoric surprise
when the amorous insect sensually smacked her lips against his!
Their moronic mouths stuck together, the two trudged to the sofa with every intention of
staining it with the proof of their perverse, perplexing, passion!
It's anyone's guess how secretarial slave Chantal Schnozz will react when she finds the
sinful, so-called law partners she works for fornicating on the office furniture.
Will she be pissed off that her swinging employers didn't invite her in for a threesome?
Or did the two twits intentionally leave the door unlocked so that Chantal could let
herself in to nibble on Mikey's testicles?
Of course, it's highly unlikely that Baldwin wrapped his teeny-weeny bent penis in a
reliable rubber, or that the longtime lovelorn Bug is on the birth control pill.
These filthy, fiendish fools probably won't even wash their profane paws after the
one-time sexual harasser gives his former prey the old "in and out."
And pity the poor putz who must sit on the couch after the two lust crazed, copulatory
creeps have sinfully soiled it.
But that's all right. All four freaks in this ridiculously rancid game of romantic
roulette will eventually get what's coming to them.
The Williams marriage will meet a justifiably ferocious end when Clueless finally
discovers that his wife teamed up with his worst enemy to end his previous marriage.
Making matters worse, the child for whom Mr. Williams made the ultimate sacrifice is
likely not even his!
By the time the barrister's treachery comes to light, the bewildered, bedeviled Bug could
find herself with his heretic bun her oven!
And by then, a thoroughly obsessed Baldwin will settle for nothing less than complete
possession of her mind, body, and soul!
Perhaps then these slithering, scuzzy, irresponsibly smutty Genoa City snakes will put
more thought into how, when, where, why, and with whom they share a love seat!

Inside the criminal mind
by Michael
Kelly
Crusading critter Christine "Bug" Blair benevolently chirped in agreement like a
little bird on Wednesday when her ambulance chasing mentor and prior predator Michael
Baldwin claimed he lost control of his "impulses" years ago because he didn't
"like" himself enough!
Inside their supposed law office, Baldwin brought Bug out of a deep trance to yet again
discuss the stupefying possibility of making their professional partnership personal.
Blair really didn't want to discuss the tired topic. She's still hung up on the Clueless
detective she divorced. But like a rabid dog with a bone, Baldwin persisted. He
relentlessly insisted she admit there's a "chance" for them.
The alabaster insect asked what he wanted her to say. Does she "admire" him as a
lawyer? Yes. Does he make her "smile?" Uh-huh.
Before she could explain exactly how her one-time sexual harasser makes her
"feel," Mikey impetuously interrupted, "I make you feel like a woman
should!"
Rather than reject the startling statement or slap his face, the bemused Bug allowed
Baldwin to inquire as to when it was a man made her feel like a "flesh and blood
woman" rather than a pristine "St. Christine!"
Blair was wise enough not to answer the loaded question, which made Mikey change
strategies.
Eating a slice of humble pie, Baldwin admitted that he thought a great deal about their
past and the way he boorishly behaved.
Taking self-help hooey to a dangerous new low, the barrister bull crap artist diagnosed
his problem as low self esteem!
When they worked together years ago, Baldwin never "liked" himself and therefore
didn't believe Bug did either!
Like a sniveling, New Age Dr. Feel-Good, the critter wondered if his emotional boo-boos
are all better.
Knowing full well the female fishy is biting at his bait, Mikey mumbled in a mild mannered
voice that he's working on liking himself more!
What sort of psychiatric disorder enables this inanely ingratiating insect to to flirt
with the man who made her life a living hell and shrug off his heinous actions?
Patty Hearst had to be held captive before she could be brainwashed into robbing a bank
with her "Army" of kidnappers. What's Blair's excuse?
As for Baldwin, it's unconscionable of him to rationalize odious offenses like sexual
harassment and attempted rape by insinuating he wasn't loved enough!
Only a pair of co-dependent dummies could nurture professional and personal partnerships
as puerile as theirs. They both need to be separated from the sane sections of society.
Case closed!

Double jeopardy
by Michael
Kelly
Given the fact that local attorney Michael Baldwin has fantasized for over a decade about
sharing a romantic first date with the woman he once sexually harassed and tried to rape,
it had to be demoralizing for him to hear Christine "Bug" Blair admit she was
"flooded with memories" of her ex-hubby before dinner!
The law partners arrived inside the classy Colon Room for a sumptuous supper, but
effeminate maitre 'd Jacques St. Strap didn't materialize to guide them to their table.
Basking in the aura of a genuine "goddess," moony-eyed Mikey wanted to
"memorize" how beautiful the blessed Bug looked in the resplendent red rag he
bought for her. The dynamic dress awesomely accentuated her bulging belly.
Once his stupefied staring was complete, they escorted themselves to their table.
Concerned about the astronomical cost of the Colon Room, the crusading critter suggested
they discuss ambulance chasing so that they can write off the elaborate evening as a tax
deduction!
Disconcerted by her practicality, Baldwin assured her that he'd been saving his pennies
for the opulent occasion. If necessary, he had dishwashing gloves in his pocket.
Like the ultimate sap, Mikey stammered, "I'd gladly lay down my last dime to put a
smile on your face!"
A little later, he expressed admiration for Peter Sellers, and amiably aped the thick
accent of the inimitable Inspector Clouseau to amuse the albino Bug. Baldwin even allowed
the fair maiden to render her verdict on the bubbly brought to the table.
While they gazed at menus, the alabaster insect's meandering mind flashed back.
Blair remembered a festive New Year's Eve she spent tripping the light fantastic on the
Colon Room's decadent dance floor while in the arms of the clueless detective she used to
call her husband.
Realizing his date was lost in space, Mikey mentioned that the exotic eatery's lobsters
hail from Venus. Adding to his far-out tale, Baldwin babbled that the milky white marinade
the lobsters are immersed in comes from martian cows!
Suddenly brought out of her heady head trip, the nostalgic nitwit admitted that she had
the dim bulb detective on her brain.
Behaving more like a best girlfriend or supportive shrink than a dashing date, Mikey
wondered if it would help Blair to talk about the romantic remembrance.
Having a pinch of pride, and perhaps taking pity on the well meaning wuss, Bug declined
his odd offer.
Playing the role of martyr, Mikey pathetically pointed out that while most guys would
grouse about springing for food and a frock only to hear the women they're with whine
about an ex, Baldwin wasn't one of them!
The awkward moment they're mired in merely meant they're not yet "at the same
place."
Or perhaps Baldwin and Blair aren't on the same page!
Once a legal genius with a mind much like a steel trap, Michael Baldwin has become the
mighty moth's neutered lap dog.
Since Mikey's ominously obsessed with her, and seemingly incapable of recognizing a lost
romantic cause, it's up to Bug to end this foul, far-fetched farce of a relationship
before it limps along any further.
Even if their horrific history weren't a factor, Blair seems unlikely to return the
affections of a man who handed her his gonads on a silver platter.

Sexual predator tickled pink
by Michael
Kelly
Correctly surmising that her law partner, former sexual harasser, and pseudo boyfriend
Michael Baldwin is keeping a naughty little secret from her, crusading critter and Nazi
lover Christine "Bug" Blair brought Baldwin to his knees Monday while tickling
him in their office just as a potential client walked in!
Before the unsightly spectacle took place, Baldwin & Williams' secretarial slave
Chantal sauntered into Mikey's office with a gift wrapped box that came from Fenmore's
Department Store.
Baldwin
admitted to the nosy woman that the pretty package contained a dress he bought for Blair
to wear to the classy Colon Room.
Chantal insipidly spewed that her boss was "sweet" to do such a thing. She
wished she had a law partner who would buy her fabulous frocks! Not the modest type, Mikey
described himself as a sweet sort of guy.
Just then, Blair made her presence known. When the inquisitive critter inquired what they
were yapping about, Chantal made a quick getaway.
Baldwin, who had hidden the beautiful box behind his desk, tried to feed the albino Bug a
line of bull about a judge, but she wasn't buying it.
When he stubbornly refused to fess up, the mauling moth began tortuously tickling him all
over!
Yelling at the sadist to "stop it," Mikey fell to his knobby knees in agony
while twitching in spasmodic terror!
At that exact moment, department store diva Lauren Fenmore walked up to their kinky
cubicle and incredulously inquired if she'd arrived at a "bad time!"
As the appallingly unprofessional pair pulled themselves together, Lauren asked for their
legal expertise. It seems an unnamed restaurant wants to handle the deli duties in her
department store!
Not trusting her own attorney and insurance agent, the retail entrepreneur wanted to know
how to pull off the kooky culinary concession coup.
Overcompensating for the fact that Fenmore had just seen her behave like a silly, lovesick
school girl, the critter coughed up impressive legal mumbo-jumbo as Mikey uselessly stood
silently still.
Her questions adequately answered, Lauren cracked a joke about "disrupting their
fun" the brittle Bug didn't appreciate. The legal eagle reminded Fenmore that the
bloated bill for her superb services would be in the mail.
Just then, the secretarial slave reappeared to announce that Blair was wanted on the horn.
Leaving Lauren and Baldwin alone, the critter crawled to her cocoon to take the call.
While teasing him about what she walked in on, Fenmore found the box with her store's name
on it, and impetuously opened it!
Before Mikey could snatch it away from her, Lauren took a long look at the red rag Baldwin
bought for the Bug.
Mikey moronically kept wondering if he heard the department store diva correctly when she
expressed her approval of the frumpy frock, as well the Colon Room reservation he made for
himself and Blair.
She assured the anxious, insecure attorney she had no intention of ratting out the weird
relationship to the clueless detective she and Blair were once married to. In fact, anyone
that "distracted' Bug from Paul Williams had her full support!
Fenmore folded the shapeless sheath and inserted it back in the box just before the insect
slithered back in.
Lauren left the office with a sly smirk, and Blair adamantly insisted Baldwin tell her
what was up.
Tired of being "interrogated," Mikey handed her the pretty present with the rude
words, "Here! Open it. Open it. For God's sake, open it!"
Giddy with orgasmic glee, Blair babbled that she adored the tomato tinted creation.
After he announced that she'd be wearing it when they dined together at the Colon Room,
the alabaster insect gratefully wrapped her wings around her preppy Prince Charming.
It seems inevitable that the creepy crawling crusader will one day blissfully bed down
with her one-time attempted rapist.
What this depraved duo do behind closed doors is their own business. But if their law firm
expects to have any clients left, they should at least close and lock the office door when
they're feeling frisky.
Or better yet, Bug and Baldwin should take their unorthodox amorous activities over to the
lewd Lodge Brothel, where such sleaziness is encouraged.
Heaven forbid their secretarial slave should ever be expected to be on sticky stain patrol
inside what is supposed to be a law office!
While all of this seedy sexual speculation may seem premature, sane women don't date their
predators. This dewy-eyed, deviant duo shouldn't delude themselves into thinking that
their repulsive relationship is appropriate for the prying eyes of the public to peep at.

Legal shark claims kids living apart
from parents turn out okay!
by Brent
Kellogg
Diane Jenkins, the unemployed architect with the morality of a termite, tried passing
herself off as the concerned mother here Friday during a visit with a man who has become
nearly as obnoxious.
As he tweaked Jenkins' defective moral compass, attorney Michael Baldwin inquired into her
reasoning behind yet another trek to his office. Jenkins blabbed about her personal
problems briefly before accusing Baldwin again of being a conspirator in a plot by the
wife of her baby's father to get her out of the house she recently made herself to home
at.
Continuing to use her baby boy as a weapon, Jenkins professed to Baldwin that her only
reason for playing the evil bitch is so that her son will have a bond with his daddy.
Incredibly, Baldwin shot down Jenkins' theory that a child should grow up with its
biological parents. To his skewed way of thinking there is absolutely nothing wrong with
children who grow up separated from their parents or see them on a part-time basis.
"Lots of kids have grown up that way and they are just fine," Baldwin said.
If, as Baldwin thinks, kids living apart from their parents turn out just fine he should
look at the statistics. The facts clearly show the opposite is true. Baldwin need only
look around Genoa City to see the writing all over the walls. Broken marriages three to
seven times over have produced the likes of Nate Hastings. In the Hastings case alone
confusion over who his father is has stunted the boy's growth. One year his Uncle became
his step-daddy and the next year his step-daddy was his Uncle again.
People like Baldwin need to take a good look in the mirror before setting the standard for
others.

Lawyer wins case!
Veteran lawyer Michael Baldwin could hardly control himself Monday. Somehow, in between
the constant personal dealings with Diane Jenkins and Phyllis Abbott and celebrating the
return of his law partner, he had found time to handle a legal case in a real court of law
and won! The win had nothing to do with Baldwin's expertise as an attorney but because of
suggestions in his closing argument which had been provided by cohort, Christine 'Bug'
Blair. "You have no idea how much it means having [the Bug] back working with me
again," Baldwin sputtered.
February 18, 2002
Can hot-shot lawyer win no-brainer case?
In his hay day Michael Baldwin was a brilliant attorney. There was even a time when
Christine 'Bug' Romalotti so revered Baldwin she studied under him and went on to become
one of Genoa City's most power hungry lawyers.
But something happened to Baldwin. His freaky sexual desires got in the way. Falling for
the Bug, attempting to rape the critter landed his butt in prison and he hasn't been the
same since. Today, Baldwin runs his own law firm, claims to have more clients that he can
count but hasn't had a law case he's been able to sink his teeth into.
Unless a miracle happens Baldwin will soon have the golden opportunity to shine again when
he represents the venerable Diane Jenkins.
Because Jabot Cosmetics CEO Jack Abbott has made it clear he wants full custody of
Jenkins' baby, there doesn't appear to be any way out for Jenkins except go to court.
From the moment Baldwin takes the case there will be a mountain of damning evidence at his
disposal. History will show that Abbott, along with his dastardly wife Phyllis, are unfit
to be parents.
With some careful manipulation, Baldwin can show the court that Abbott's concern for
Jenkins' child comes from Abbott's self-centered ness. Unable to produce a child with his
infertile wife, Abbott only wants the Jenkins baby as a trophy.
Sired with Abbott sperm, Kyle Newman has bonded with his biological mother for over a
year. To take the child away would be unconscionable. In addition, Abbott demonstrated a
disregard for human life when he failed, but later had pangs of guilt, to seek help for
Victor Newman when the business giant suffered a heart attack.
Abbott's wife has a record of evil doing going back as far as 1994 when she blamed the Bug
for the breakup of her family. Phyllis Summers had tricked rock star Danny Romalotti into
believing that her son was his and threatened to blackmail him even going so far as to ask
detective Paul 'Clueless' Williams and the Bug to be her child's godparents.
Over time, Summers committed a battery of crimes including the attempted murder of the Bug
and Clueless when she tried running them down with a rental car. Soon after, Sasha Green,
a woman who knew all about Summers' evil doing and threatened to expose her, was found
dead.
Perhaps the most compelling reason the Abbott's should not be given anything more than
visitation rights is the fact they do not live in a home of their own. Abbott has always
claimed the reason he's never left his father's nest is to keep an eye on his sister. But
with Ashley Carlton living with her own family Abbott has no reason not to have purchased
a home of his own.
The Abbott household is not conductive to the well-being of a young child. Besides the
elderly John Abbott, who in his old age could easily burn the place down, a busy-body old
maid resides in the home along with Abbott's teenage brother and known drug user Colleen
Carlton.
The case is a no-brainer and one Baldwin should win hands down.

Sue the bitch!
Local
attorney Michael Baldwin announced Wednesday he is considering filing a complaint against
former brothel employee dizzy Izzy Brana charging the woman with fraud!
Brana tricked Baldwin into believing he was the father of her unborn baby and resorted
to blackmail to get funds Brana said was necessary to support herself and the child.
Baldwin subsequently made payments but foolishly in cash. However, there is a written
contract which should hold up in a court of law if Baldwin follows through with his
threat.

He's no daddy!
An otherwise smart attorney, Michael Baldwin has sunk so low he's willing to jump into a
ready-made family with a former brothel employee.
Dizzy Izzy Brana was supposed to be just a means to an end for Baldwin. He wanted to
use the shady woman to help break up a marriage and that part of the plan went well. But
somewhere along the way Baldwin found himself under Brana's sexual spell and had to have
her - just once.
A few weeks later Baldwin discovered Brana was pregnant with what she claimed was his
baby. Without question, Baldwin shelled out the big bucks when Brana blackmailed him and
even went shopping with her to pick out baby toys.
The thought of having a baby of his own became so overwhelming Baldwin developed a
willingness to marry the despicable woman and was in the process of telling Brana how
happy it was to hear she'll be staying in Genoa City when the woman came clean. The baby
isn't his!

Fearing the smearing
Local attorney Michael
Baldwin says he doesn't have a choice. He's got to go along with dizzy Izzy Brana's
blackmail because if that clueless detective finds out he manipulated the detective's
divorce his career will be ruined.
Prior to Paul Williams'
divorce the theory might have held water. Today it's a poor excuse to continue a
relationship without purpose.
Any person subjected to
blackmail doesn't purchase gifts for the baby of the blackmailer and that's exactly what
Baldwin did Tuesday. To show her appreciation, Brana invited Baldwin to dinner. What man
in his right mind would do such a thing? How can Baldwin stand to be in the same room with
this despicable woman? For fear Brana's bed buddy will conduct a smear campaign against
him?
Baldwin should cut off
further funding of Brana's lifestyle, tell her and Williams to go for it and let the smear
begin. The moment Brana's kid pops out demand a paternity test and go to the cops if she
refuses.
Once the truth surfaces
Baldwin can put these contemptible people behind him. To avoid future problems of the ugly
kind Baldwin should take a pledge that as a single man there shall be no sex with women
without a condom.
Late Wednesday however,
Baldwin appears to have regurgitated a sick desire to marry Brana. The aspiration may have
been just a passing fancy as many of the aging men in this city reach a point where their
lives cease to have meaning without a loving wife and child to share it with.
