Pay dirt hit in Juiceman investigation!
by Brent
Kellogg & Michael Kelly
Reports in the
GCN over the past few days concerning the Juiceman's connection between Neil and Dru
Winters have suggested there never was one.
But the evidence was not conclusive.
Like a man possessed with dredging up the Harken Energy case, reporter
Michael Kelly jumped head first into the history files hoping to put an end to the
speculation. Kelly dug long and deep and just before reaching the bottom of the vast soap
opera landfill hit pay dirt.
Late Friday the dedicated GCN analyst went through no less then 52 case
history files between 1991-92 for signs of Juice.
A file dated 09.19.92 gave up the dead.
Dru Winter's centerfold had appeared in Sensuality magazine during this
month and was on all the newsstands. Jill Abbott believed she had destroyed the photos by
exposing the film, but Ms. Winters figured the magazine must have used her test shots.
John Abbott hit the roof because of the bad publicity the newest Jabot model brought down
on the company and fired her. Neil Winters freaked out too as he had given his namesake an
engagement ring. Ms. Winters gave the ring back and after leaving a good-bye letter to her
Aunt hit the streets again.
A private eye working for the Clueless Detective & Alarm Company at the time, Nathan
Hastings almost found Winters in Sleazy's bar, but was easily eluded when Winters ducked
into the potty.
Neil Winters later joined Hastings in the search and after being stonewalled by the
regulars at Sleazy's bar, the duo determined that Ms. Winters was there. In order to gain
Juice's confidence, the cad she was hanging with those days, Hastings and Winters staged a
fight. Mr. Winters got the inside track after decking Hastings, who had thrown a punch at
Juice. The wannabe pimp was reluctant to give up his woman - also his potential meal
ticket - but Mr. Winters convinced him that she could make it in the real world. After a
heart-to-heart talk with his lady, Juice got her to go home.
Beyond this event Juice was never seen or mentioned again until he
converted to one of the Bold & Beautiful showing up in Los Angeles as Keith Anderson.
Note: Thanks to GCN reader "Torreyson" for persisting that there
was a connection and made us keep digging for the truth.

Can history re-write grow legs?
by Brent
Kellogg
Re-writing
Genoa City history has always been frowned upon. When it happens there is the usual outcry
of disapproval which eventually subsides because the changes turn out to be subtle.
Unfortunately
the latest history revision is so blatantly outrageous it cannot be believed.
Unless Dru Winters has been leading a double-life there is no possible way she ever knew
the Juiceman or that he knew her. Certainly, Ms. Winters didn't know Juice ten years ago
as the man claimed Friday.
Another glaring flaw was the Juiceman's sudden revelation this week when he recognized
Neil Winters as the man who "put ideas in my woman's head."
If the Juiceman is to be believed his not knowing at first who Mr. Winters is was a major
blunder. Men who have been aced out by other men where women are concerned never forget a
face. Not even one now covered by hair.
In 1992, Dru Winters was well on her way to becoming a porno star had it not been for
Nathan Hastings, the man who found Dru wandering the streets years previously and taught
her how to read, and detective Clueless who together with Hastings broke up Vinnie Russo's
porn business.
Ms. Winters hooked up with photographer Blade Baldeson and at the same time turned down
the "opportunity of a lifetime" when she declined the leading role in Gisell.
Both Bladeson and Winters went to work at Jabot Cosmetics. Bladeson fell for and later
married Ashley Abbott.
Neil Winters proposed to the woman with his own namesake but she declined and left town.
Hastings and Winters went after her and had her back in Genoa City just in time to witness
her sister giving birth to Nate Hastings.
Neil and Dru Winters became husband and wife the following year during a wedding ceremony
at the Chancellor mausoleum. Before, during and after their marriage there was never any
indication, no contact, no nothing that would indicate Mrs. Winters ever knew the
Juiceman.
There were some
assertions that Ms. Winters had been hanging around with "the wrong crowd"
during her brief leave of absence from Genoa City. Although mixing it up with the porno
kings could have exposed her to society's bottom feeders, there was no indication that
Winters had become involved with a man who considers women personal property.
And thus the citizens of this fine city wait for the other shoe to drop. What will justify
the Juiceman's claim that Neil Winters stole his woman and what difference does it make
now?

The Juiceman quagmire
by Brent
Kellogg
The
little weasel known as "Juice" is expected to crawl out of the sewer and into
the seedy Olive Pit bar this week making his motive for being in Genoa City known.
All these years Juice has been stewing over how Neil Winters stole his girl. He hasn't
taken any action to right the wrong until now because he was working on a titanic plan to
make Winters pay.
Juice did his homework well. For example, he knows Winters has become the town drunk who
whiles away his non-productive days inside a bottle at a bar on the wrong side of the
tracks. He knows too that Serena the bar babe enables Winters and after listening to him
cry on her shoulder a number of times and having had sex with him she knows his innermost
alcohol induced delusions.
And what a coincidence! Alleged to be Juice's girl, Dru Winters will be coming home soon.
The drunk's former wife will need a place to stay while she's in town with her daughter
and conveniently Mr. Winter's apartment is empty. With all his money, the booze hound has
moved into a $400 per day hotel.
Already the conflict seems to be proliferating. Former wife returns to save daughter's
daddy from himself. Local drunk remarkably recovers from addiction when former wife
discovers man she never knew claims she's his property.
But there is another danger: that of connecting Juice to the Winters. If, as he claims,
Ms. Barber was his girl, where was he all those years when she was in Genoa City? Why
didn't Juice come forward when she announced her marriage to Winters? If the timing wasn't
right, why didn't Juice go after his gal when she became a free woman in Paris? Just how
did Mr. Winters commit this heinous act of theft?
This newest morass has the potential to make some wish that the Ralph and Amanda Hunnicutt
fiasco had never ended.
