Jennifer wins a walk-on role on a soap opera which leads to a writing job. Jennifer is asked to help write the next few episodes when the head writer is murdered by the actor whose character is about to die in the show. Jennifer is soon targeted by mysterious killer on the set, who already murdered two people. Can Jonathan figure out who is the murderer before Jennifer is the next to die?

A tongue-in-cheek look at soap operas and it's script writers wielding the power of which actor continues to have a part features Peter Brown in a scene chewing role. No difficulty to know who the killer is. Maybe they should have been more suspects but it's enjoyable enough.

Turns out Max is a major soap opera fan and is lost in the world of Daytime between 2:30 and 3pm. And wouldn't you know it, now he's gotten Jennifer all invested in "Doctor's Hospital," too. And by invested, I mean Mecca for any soap fan, a walk-on role on the soap. So, not only do J&J enter the world of one of my favorite genres, soap operas, but a boatload of real soap stars of the time guested in fun roles. Of course, folks are dropping right and left, and in true soap opera fashion in TODAY's day and age, it doesn't take a brain trust to figure out who the nutjob is. Lanna Saunders and John McCook turn out amusing performances at total divas, and the gorgeous Leann Hunley appears as the short-lived, screaming ingénue. And great fear from Stefanie. She's capable of so much, and finally, she's directed to emote the way she's supposed to when she's about to die. Very nice job. Also great was Peter Brown in one helluva scenery-chewing role. Not so happy to report, however, Deanne has been replaced by some other secretary! Hrmph. Best scene of the ep, J&J running lines in the tub. Hee!
