here is another one of my wild ideas….
opening shot…
High backed chair, we see a hand sit a cup down on the table. Someone enters the room. "Reporting as ordered, sir."
The hand gestures for him to come around to the front of the chair. The camera follows the man as he moves to the front of the chair.
Camera angle switches, and we see….you guessed it, the dearly not so departed Stefano. "It’s good to be back. What do you have to report?"
"The recordings had their desired effect. McAllister will no longer be a problem."
Cut to flashback…Ian awakens in his room to Madison’s voice. "Why did you let me die, Ian? This was all your fault…." cut to Ian in a straight jacket struggling and screaming Madison’s name.
"Good", rumbles Stefano. "What of your other target?"
"The surveillance videos of EJ at the gay bar will be aired on the news tonight. A protest has been arranged as well."
Stefano nodded, "And what of my ex-wife Kate Roberts?"
"She is no longer employed by Titan. She is currently unemployable."
"She deserves that and more," Stefano answered with an evil laugh. "She betrayed me."
