The mansion was glowing in beautiful twinkling lights. It made her stomach tighten because she knew what she was about to do. It had been a long road to get here but tonight she was about to get everything she ever wanted. She was about to be at the top of the food chain after all these years. Pierre had found her a world class forger and she saw the new will. It looked perfect and soon Lowell would die. When he died she’d get everything she ever wanted. She’d make sure her daughters were the sole heirs of the great Lowell Devonshire. With her as CEO and Bliss as her COO DGI would go into the new age with a fresh set of eyes. It was hard feeling as if she was about to betray the man she’d loved her entire life. However he thought she was stupid. He thought he could get one up on her one last time. Enough was enough. She spent her youth chasing him and now he was going to embarrass her? That was enough to drive Tess crazy. Jackie had everything handed to her, from the time she was born. All of Tess resented that Jackie had it easy and she had to work for her future. Touching impeccably designed Terani silver crystal beaded fringe ornate dress. She felt like tonight was her night. After all she had been through she felt like this is what she deserved to hurt him for all the years of pain.

She could remember a time when Lowell promised to leave Jackie. She could remember the beach trips she would go on in Aruba with Bliss. She could remember giving up Belle because it was already too hard looking at Bliss. She had those sparkling eyes and her laugh was just like Lowell’s. They all had that snide giggle and she actually resented her girls. A piece of them hated Bliss and Belle because they’d get something she never got from Lowell, unconditional love. He never gave his heart to her completely, maybe they weren’t meant to be but Tess felt empty at this moment. That she spent her entire life trying to have something she’d never achieve. She could remember her mother telling her about her father’s affairs and how it killed her. Tess could almost see how her past had affected her future. She loved Lowell with all she had and she needed him so badly it hurt at times. He however was still lusting after Jackie and still longed to be with Jackie after all these years. But she wouldn’t lose again. Her entire life she made herself be second to Jackie. She had already ended a over thirty year marriage. Why not go for everything else? Why not have it all? She could feel her stomach balling up as she touched the wall. Everything was happening so fast. Would Belle love her? Would Bliss understand? Could her girls stand with her or would they go against her. She understood Belle would be horrified with her for what she was about to do. Nothing a cool billion wouldn’t fix. Slowly slinking her way through her eyes were fixated on the podium. Where he was going to announce that Jackson would be the CEO. How disgraceful to give it to Jackie’s favorite when Chauncey was the clear candidate that should win this war. He’d spent years going up against plenty of rivals and Jackson was the perceived golden boy. Neither of them would wear the crown. As she picked up a champagne flute she clutched her stomach. The nerves were poking at her spirit. Is this really who she was? This conniving and this malicious? A tap on the shoulder startled her.

“What in the hell do you want?” Tess said with a cool aloofness. “I’m here to see that my future is secure and my livelihood is protected. So you can watch as I do something you could never do.”

He’d watched Tess from the moment she walked in. When he received an invitation to the Energy Summit, he was honestly shocked. This was Lowell’s grand farewell. Maybe he wanted to make it a special goodbye but why shouldn’t he be here? He helped fund and create DGI in the beginning and he’d never forgive Lowell for all the moves he made against him. The lies, the affair with his wife, and the ostracizing of his children. That wasn’t something any man could just willingly forget. Well that pathetic son of a bitch Walter had forgiven but he would always suffer. After all the horrible Walter did and him not backing him in the lawsuit years ago. Well that completely ruined whatever association the Montgomery’s and Fraiser’s had. Picking up a flute of champagne from a waitress who he dared to speak to him. Stepping closer to Tess and touching her perfect face. She looked beautiful but he also saw her fear of whatever she had planned. “I let you go Tess.”

“I didn’t let you go down for that entire mess with Camille and Zerick. I didn’t drag you down and let you get your happy ending. Tell me is being Ms. Devonshire all you ever hoped for. Rumors swirl in fact Greer has a blind item in the newspaper saying a woman who has it all is very unhappy. Is it because Lowell is constantly lusting after Jackie? Even though his body shrivels and he can’t even be in the same room as you longer than a few moments? Everyone knows you have the ring but Jackie has the heart. It just has to eat you. Whatever you are planning today I suggest you don’t forget our deal. I want DGI alive or dead. I want him to know even in the past. So if I don’t get what I want my bobble head Barbie Belle will somehow get into an accident or poor little Bliss all heartbroken. She can’t catch a break. Maybe the brakes of her car could stop her pain?”

A look inside the Energy Summit Ball Fashion 3×10-3×12

When Blissful plans on throwing a party, we try and throw a party. In many ways when Kelly went into planning Season 3 she really wanted the Summit Energy Ball to be something that was the start of Act 2 of the season. It had been talked about in Season 1 quite a bit and then we didn’t quite get to it in Season 2. So we knew this was going to be one of those huge parties where most everyone tied to the Devonshire’s, Montgomery’s, businesses, Isla Del Cruces or politics was involved in some way or another. What our staff decided to do as well was to style our cast (mainly ladies) and a few men mainly Ash’s for the occasion. It’s fun to imagine characters in character and what they would wear so we decided to do this for the event.

Who wore it best for the evening? Did their attire match the drama of their evening?

Until next time,

Team Blissful

Brooke gripped Atticus hand and felt his grief at this moment. He was grieving the past relationship with his brother. Not to mention hearing that Bliss nearly lost her baby with Hunter over Dimitri wasn’t any better. Atticus partially blamed himself for Dimitri reign of terror, he’d never burden her but she knew the truth. Atticus thought he could stop Dimitri but he was younger and wasn’t as strong as he was now. He wasn’t a man yet and how could he prevent Dimitri from doing some of those things against Bliss? Stepping out of the limo she was glad that Bliss had chosen to stay at the Devonshire mansion for the time being. Her house was swamped with paparazzi but the truth was she knew that Hunter didn’t kill Dimitri. She was sure that Bliss did it from the moment, he turned himself in. She wasn’t going to let Hunter rot and she wasn’t going to lose her sister-in-law. If Hugo was behind the scenes had pushed for Dimitri’s murderer to be found this would be the reason why Jon went after Bliss. It had been a week since everyone in Atlas Falls was taken by storm with the allegations against each woman.

“Visiting Fox is a good thing and checking on Bliss shows that the throne is caring especially after Dimitri.” Brooke smiled at Atticus and she knew it was going bad for Hunter in jail. She heard someone attacked him and he might be in solitary. People would be after him because of the Kincaid legacy and name. Steven Kincaid put a lot of criminals behind bars but Greer was running stories saying should his cases be looked into. Now that he was a known racist. Her father loved Tony and she knew he loved the Delacroix, Jamal was like a son to him. She hated this perception of him because her grandfather was a part of the klan. The staff opened the doors to the mansion leading them to the dayroom and going to locate Bliss. “Are you alright?” She walked to him touching his chest. “You can express anything about this situation. My brother is in jail for killing your brother. That isn’t normal.”

Atticus never knew the weight him being regent would have until this entire mess with Dimitri happened. Part of the crown was heavy and the prime Minister and his father had went behind his back, to contact the new district attorney over his brothers death. His brother was a monster that didn’t deserve to be mourned let alone the state funeral he received. Now he was out even in a more impossible position that Hunter was arrested, Brooke’s own brother was accused of killing his own with a confession to boot. None of it was good or looked good for them as a couple in fact the paparazzi had swallowed them and Bliss this week. Gree LeClerq kept sending her vultures he’d have to send her a message legally to stop or have to dig up some unwanted dirt on her retaliation. He escorted Brooke up the steps of the Devonshire mansion and inside, he honestly wanted Bliss to stay with him and Brooke after her collapse but this would do as well. Seeing his nephew would be the highlight of today for him and he nodded as they were let in and told the maid would get Bliss.

“I am happy to see Fox he has been through so much with what happened with Dimitri and not to mention when Bliss left. He is such a smart young boy though I do wish Bliss would consider his upbringing a bit better. Private school back home would be better.” Atticus said, looking at Brooke and trying to avoid the subject of Dimitri all together. In truth he was upset that Fox would be in America away from advisors and his own country but Bliss was the boys mother but he was still the heir apparent toll he was of age. “Honestly my father and parliament are behind this entire witch hunt as such is politics. It would have been better had he been extradited back home for his crimes they see it as a slight he was killed here. As for Fox I do wish Bliss would reconsider and have him come home where he belongs; he won’t learn to be a king here.” Atticus said, looking at Brooke and seeing Bliss in the doorway.

A piece of Bliss wanted to scream at Atticus he wasn’t going anywhere near that toxic throne. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. She didn’t want Fox to be anything like Dimitri or Hugo for that matter. She loved Atticus but he was too little to defend her against Dimitri but if he was older he would have. As she walked in the room in yoga gear Jackie had insisted that she needed a outlet beyond fretting. More than anything Tess and Jackie were bickering more and more. When her mother came to see her it was world war three. Poor Jackie had to deal with her and her sister as a permanent reminder of her father’s betrayal. Not to mention Hunter was acting like a complete ass. He was protecting her but she didn’t believe in that. She didn’t believe he deserved to take her punishment because she was pregnant. She should be behind bars. As she placed Fox down on the ground he took off to Brooke and Atticus. She walked down the small stairs and grabbed a bottle of water pouring it in a glass.

“Can I get either of you anything. I got the paper from Ilsa De Cruces.” Bliss picked up the paper which somehow had reconstructed Dimitri as a hero who was misunderstood. Hugo was working overtime to repair the crown’s image. Slamming it on the table she looked at Atticus and Brooke. “He’ll never learn how to be the king. He’ll go back because honestly your father has betrayed me for the last time. I want him to have a relationship with you and Brooke but that man isn’t to be near Fox. I mean it. I’m done playing the political game with your dad the king and his shady prime minister, and your horrible uncle and aunt and cousin. I’m not doing it to him. I’m putting that pressure on him and you’re the regent so tell him to make you king. Tell him that Fox is no longer his concern, I’m not trying to be a bitch. I’m being a mother and the destruction of my son will not happen. He won’t be corrupted by the throne so tell your father this.” She placed coffee down. “Hunter didn’t shoot Dimitri, I did. I killed him with no mercy and no regrets.”

Brooke sipped her coffee and spewed out when Bliss said she killed Dimitri. Her eyes grew big as she saw Atticus’ shocked face. Placing the coffee cup down she stood up and walked to Bliss and hugged her. “I’m so sorry you’re facing this alone. But you aren’t Anderson’s coming home to fight this, and my mother is completely on your side. We as the Kincaid’s won’t allow you or Hunter to go down for this.” She saw the wheels in Atticus head turning he was digesting Dimitri was murdered by his ex-wife. “What happened that night, Bliss? Can you tell us? I don’t think Fox understands that. He does understand that his father is missing and maybe somehow we can help you. I want to make Ilsa De Cruces into a place where Fox and you feel welcomed. After all Dimitri did to you and those other women. I can’t sit back Atticus and say I’m alright with what your father has done. He broke them and Jon didn’t help. They already were broken because of Dimitri and we have to face that the crown and the titles mean nothing when we don’t have family. I refuse to run a kingdom built on lies so maybe we can help if the crown comes out against what AFPD is doing.” She looked at Atticus unsure on how he felt about striking out against his father.

She nodded listening to Brooke’s childish dreams. Hugo would always have strings on Atticus even if he didn’t know it. “He kidnapped me, Selina, and Tamara. That part is true he was going to kidnap me and Fox. He had this grand fantasy that if we went back to his home, the castle everything would be okay. He was going to kill Tamara and Selina and go back to Ilsa De Cruces as if nothing ever happened. We fought back and when he lost control over the gun he said some ugly things to me. It just happened. I picked up the gun, he spoke, he charged at me and unloaded a clip into him. Well everyone was scared and we thought it was best to bury him. To leave him in the lake and let him go away. Never to be seen again until some old man with Alzheimer’s went fishing and uncovered him. That’s the story. That’s what happened and people helped cover it up but they aren’t the problem. The problem lies with your father and my husband is now refusing to see me or my baby or my son. Fox needs Hunter he’s had quite the life and he loves Hunter as his father. You can’t make him Atticus, you can’t make me make him go through all of what you and Dimitri went through. It destroyed him, I assume Dimitri wasn’t always a monster but having it all made him that way. I won’t do it. I won’t allow him to be a part of that. You are his uncle and you are the only one I will allow near my child.”

Theme Song: Plumb- Damaged

Jon looked at Devin who had this look on his face. He wasn’t sure if it was contempt or anger but he could tell he wasn’t pleased at all. Did he think this part of his job was fun? Hell he hated it and more than anything he didn’t think any of the women he was here to arrest today were deserving. When he looked into Bliss history he felt horrible but one of the three of them killed DImitri and he wanted it over. The DA was on his back, and he had find out who was behind this murder. Point blank his job was on the line if he didn’t close this case. As he looked at his friend he bit his lip. “We had a hearing for Miles the other day. I am honestly wondering if it’s all worth it. I’ve isolated myself from all my friends and family because I’m angry and hurting. Miranda can’t even look at me. I haven’t spoken to my parents and my best friends all hate me.” Jon said, lowering his head. “I don’t know what to do.”

Getting out of the car he saw Devin almost soften toward him. “I don’t want to arrest any of them. You know this guy is the worst but I have a job to do you know?” Jon said as he walked up the stairs to Bliss and Hunter’s home. He could hear Fox running around the house and Bliss and Hunter laughing. Knocking on the door he looked at Devin. “This sucks he terrorized all three of them and if Jackie helped she was doing what any mother would and should. I feel sick to my stomach.” He looked over at Devin. “I just want this case and all of this stuff with Miles over. I just want to be a part of his life.”

Devin felt uncomfortable when they began the drive over to Hunter and Bliss’s house; it hadn’t been their decision to bring her in, that was the police chief. They would pick up Bliss, Zach and Miranda would pick up Jackie. Afterwards the chief had asked them to handle the interrogations Miranda and Zach would bring in Tamara. Hoping that one of them would roll on the other one a judge had signed off on the arrest warrants he had a badge on and a job to do, one he wasn’t sure he wanted to do today but it was something that he had to do. Looking over at Jon he paused listening to Jon talk about everything. He was still Jon’s boy but he also knew that Jon had started to burn bridges with everyone around him, his sister, Braden and he knew it was over this investigation into Dimitri and the case with Miles. His heart still felt for Jon but he had wondered from the start if that really was the best way to go about things going for custody. He could tell it was weighing on Jon; his friend had dark circles under his eyes and he knew that things with Skye were rocky at best from Merci.

“Merci let me know that it was hard for you and Skye at the courthouse, I’m sorry Jon that you are going through this. I’m sorry about all of it, you know? Miranda will come around if you let her, but you haven’t.” Devin began stopping; it wasn’t up to him to bring up everything with Jon Miranda felt sorry for everything with Miles but Jon had been an insufferable ass about it too. He and Merci had started to talk about their wedding and all he could come up with was that he wanted Jon there and his friends and she wanted Skye there meaning it was going to be a fucking mess. He looked over at Jon while they closed the door to the car and made their way up the stairs he could tell that neither of them wanted to drag Bliss Devonshrie Kincaid down to the station for murdering Dimitri given her past with the man that was dead. Who had abused and terrorized her for years. It was a political move by the current DA and chief who in his opinion was fucking awful and he wished Braden was still there. He may have drugged his feet about it with mounting international pressure from Isla Del Cruces but he would be at least fair and private about it. “It’s shit like this that makes me miss when Braden was DA he would at least be a little more understanding it sucks Jon neither of us want to do this. But we have to so lets get this shit out of the way and wait for the Devonshire’s and the Kincaid’s to rain hell down at the station, hell the Fraiser’s too.” Devin finished looking at Jon to go ahead and ring the doorbell as he took out the arrest warrant from his jacket pocket.

Jon listened to Devin basically admit to him he’d pushed his family and friends away. He thought it would feel better but at this point he felt like shit. It felt like people had taken bites of his soul. Miranda was the first and he remembered how he reacted to KC when he returned from the grave. It was anger but he wanted to protect his sister from the pain. Then Braden and he had been best friends since childhood. Now he was going to arrest his best friend’s wife. He closed his eyes feeling the stress of the situation rising. Dani who he had always held up on a pedestal literally kept the truth about his son. He’d pushed everyone away and he rode the wave of anger then it hit him. To Skye he had been the worst to her and how was he going to make this up to her? How was he going to face everyone because he was sick of feeling so alone and honestly his heart was breaking because he had nobody in his corner. He just wanted people he loved back now wouldn’t go speak with Dani intentionally no. But everyone else needed an apology from him because he was horrible. Then it hit him that it wasn’t over. If Tamara or any of these women went down he’d be in jail. He’d never be forgiven. Especially with how he was acting. At least they couldn’t place Selina in the middle of this. The witnesses only saw Tamara, Jackie, and Bliss.

Bliss had gotten up early and made chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, and eggs for her men. After breakfast they all just played around the house. It was something that she was sure Fox would remember for the rest of his life. The old school music going she danced around the house. As she watched Fox and Hunter sitting together laughing at some TV show this is what she wanted her entire life. A family that loved her, a husband that loved her, and her beloved son who she loved more than the air she breathed. Shaking herself out of the peaceful daydream of how her life had evolved. Bliss was walking back in the the kitchen to finish cleaning when she heard the knock at the door. “Sit down boys I got it.” She spun around, swirling her hips to James Brown “Get Up Offa That Thing’. Bliss danced and Fox placed a pillow over his face as if he couldn’t deal. She laughed as she opened the door unexpectedly shocked to see Jon Harrison and Devin Thompson standing before her. “Hello detectives, how can I help you this morning?”

Interview with Ashley Stoddard!

Interview with Ashley Stoddard!

Comments 0 Comment

Kelly and I got our beginning in writing in the RPG world. Playing in games based on General Hospital was one of the biggest of the time. We met talented writers and have kept in touch with many of them. Ash is one of those people we’ve forged relationships with for years as we’ve written together on and off. She has a history of writing rich and very complex characters with depth that isn’t displayed in most. Ash has always been able to add layers and make characters special and very distinct. Taking on the characters of Sebastian Navarro, Dylan Frasier, Rory Devonshire, and original character Cameron “Cam” Blake. Let’s catch up to one of my favorite writers, Ash!

Hey Ash, how are you doing? Can you tell us a little about yourself? 

I’m doing well and it is definitely great to be back. I have been a 911 telecommunicator for the past thirteen years. Writing has been my escape for years and I love being able to figure out just where a story can go or needs to go. I also love playing video games with a major storyline that has twists, turns, and the occasional sidequest to keep me entertained. I’m a tattoo lover with lots of ink! In my limited spare downtime, I enjoy reading books, especially those aimed towards furthering my writing.

Where did your love of soaps start from? How does your love of soaps and drama dovetail into your writing? .

My great-grandmother got me into watching soaps when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I remember we’d watch Days of Our Lives, One Life to Live, and then finish the day out with General Hospital. I always seemed to find a way to connect with the story that the writers were putting out there, though there were some that were a little more difficult to comprehend at a young age. I wouldn’t get back into soaps until my teens when I was home from school during summer vacations. But it was still an amazing escape. I loved the drama and the romance, the action and adventure that these characters were bringing to life on my television screen day in and day out. I’ve probably watched every soap that was and is produced in the States at one time or another. I honestly just love telling a story and making that connection with the readers.

Soaps bled into my love of role playing games and I couldn’t believe my luck when I was able to combine the two when I discovered General Hospital Happenings. That RPG really got it all started for me and I was able to create some characters that I still remember and love to this day. It’s also where I met and began writing with the both of you! I missed the good ole days of GHH, but I’m glad that I can continue writing with a few of the amazing writers that I met so many years ago.

How did joining Blissful come about? What characters and romances on the Blissful canvas do you enjoy? 

I originally joined Blissful a few years ago when I had been developing my own series Valley of Angels. Things got hectic in my life and with my job. I ended up having to leave the writing staff to focus on things going on with my life. Chris originally approached me once more about rejoining the writing staff roughly a month ago and I was a little hesitant. Life is still just as hectic, but learning that there would be other writers to share the entire writing process with and no time frame for completing my share of the writing, made things easier for me. And it has definitely been a relaxing thing to come back to. I’m certainly glad I accepted both Chris and Kelly’s invitation to come back!

You’ve hit the ground running with Sebastian and I truly think you’ve incorporated your flavor while keeping the essence of the character. Tell me what’s your process taking on two very popular recasts in Sebastian and Rory?

Honestly, I’ve been catching up on the series and reading through scenes involving both Sebastian and Rory. I’ve been doing what I can to make myself as comfortable as possible with taking them both over from their previous writers. In a way, I feel like I’m putting my own spin on each, but still doing everything I can within my power to keep them true to their cores. I can’t wait to fully tackle Rory and see where he goes and grows with the series. And I honestly hope that the readers enjoy my spin on both of these amazing characters.

Cameron Blake is the first original character to join the canvas not from Kelly or I! Which makes him very important in my opinion. What can you tease about Cam? 

First off, he’s been around Atlas Falls forever. Born and raised in the beautiful city, but he didn’t always stay there. He graduated from the local high school around the time of the 9/11 tragedy and felt a sense of duty to serve his country. He wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps in as many ways as possible to help his fellow man and enlisted in the military. Cam has been back in town for a couple of years now, leaving the military in order to care for his ailing father. And has joined the fire department to honor his father while helping his mother out with the growing medical bills due to his fathers’ health. Cameron does have a little connection with several citizens of Atlas Falls, and I look forward to exploring those in the future.

Anything else you want to tell the fans of Blissful?

Stay tuned! We’re just getting started!
