Hmm, another interesting scene that looks like it should be the last one, but apparently there is more! Well done, judi. I look forward to the next one.

Thanks so much for your review and comments and for sticking with the script. One more scene to come, and I think that will wrap it up. judi

What a challenging script to write as you had to wrap up with so many possible suspects and still get us to the "confession" of the real killer. I knew Gale was a strong possibility but didn't know for sure. Great job with this!

Judi.

Well the bad girl fessed up. She waited a long time to get even with Patterson. Those people that learn to fester over a long period of time can come up with some pretty ugly stuff. doesn't get much uglier than cracking somebody over the head with a cash box. Interestingly enough, the rest of the cast decided to show must go on. They just need to replace one player.

Thanks for your review and comments. Yes, people can let things fester for a long time. That's the tradition in the theater. The show has to go on. One more scene to go! judi

Well ... Okay! That came as a total shock to me that Gale was the murderer. Unless I have her confused with someone else, she was the one who asked Madge to alibi for her because she was afraid if anyone found out she had been in Patterson's room, and had been the subject of his attempted seduction that she would be a prime suspect. I believed her. But that's why I'm not a cop.

Anyway it looks like everything has been taken care of except the denouement. I'll see you next time.

Thanks for your review and great comments. Lisa was the one who had been in Patterson's room. She works for Aunt Corinne at the B&B and went to his room to take some towels. Jay, I'm sorry I haven't gotten to the final scene in your play. I have gotten terribly behind in reviewing. I'll try to get caught up tomorrow. judi

Wow, this was indeed a great continuation script, judiverse. I never thought about Gale being the guilty partner and that she held such a grudge. It was a wonderful idea that Madge would be in the lead. Great job and very impressive.

One to go--cool! I guess you'll tie up loose ends and perhaps leave us with hope for a blossoming romance. Stunning confession--I had no clue as to who was the killer!

Thanks so much for your review and comments. I knew all long Gale was the murderer! There'll be another revelation in the final scene. judi

This sounds like the mystery has been solved. However it doesn't clear up who was the other person to get away at the first murder was, or what happened to the missing papers. You don't say this is the end, so I assume it isn't over.

and Madge's confession to the murder of Harvey Patterson, Did you mean Gale's confession?

Thanks for your review and comments. There is another scene to come, so more there'll be more developments. I did mean Gale's confession, and I think I've corrected that. Thanks for noting. judi

I have a feeling we don't know everything. I think there's more to learn.

Madge: Well, we don't all act on those impulses. (She begins knitting.) I'm so glad I have my knitting. It calms me down.
Lisa: Now that Gale's in custody, what will happen to our melodrama? (you need apace between the two dialogues.)

Well the mystery ends and I guess that the last act will be them performing the play itself. Well done.

I believe I've come close to discovering the identity of the second Bellfield {Murder.}

Other cast members gather around, talking excitedly until [the] SHERIFF begins to read the note.

Thanks so much for your review and comments. Oh, there'll be more to come in the last scene. There probably will be a little bit from the melodrama, too. judi

It certainly looks like Gale has a very dark side, and she is hauled in and arrested for one of the murders, but there is still one one hold for the moment, but I never suspected her, but then. Excellent post Judy, things are progressing nicely, well done, blessings Roy
