GL's Serial Killer Revealed!
It's high tension on GL when Marine, still tied up the morning after Ben has brought her to an empty mountain shack, sees her only means of self preservation as to play a mind game with him, trying to make her ex-beau believe that she is on his side. The plan doesn't seem to work however, when Ben whips out a syringe and Marina realizes that he's the Garden Of Eden murderer after all!
Yet Ben's highly emotional state causes him to buy into Marina's act, so the teen figures she;s bought herself some time as long as he is under the impression they have a chance to make things right between the. Meanwhile Shayne is left alone with Josh at the Bauer cabin when the police go off to follow a lead. Frustrated, Shayne eventually recalls that Marina once told him that Ben wanted to buy the land on Lookout Rock. Thinking he might be able to see something from the spot, Shayne slips away.
Arriving at Lookout Rock, Shayne locates the shack where Ben is holding Marina. Deciding not to wait for the police to answer his call, Shayne instead bursts through the door, and a struggle ensues between him and a syringe-weilding Ben!
When this tale comes to a shocking and violent end, the tragic outcome will leave Springfield residents shaken to the core. Will anything be the same again?
Shocking Send Off for Bomer!
Which came first? Guiding Light's decision to make Ben it's elusive serial killer...or portrayer Matthew Bomer's decision to leave the show? Soaps In Depth offers an inside look at the finale of GL's murder mystery/
The In Depth Story: As revealed in this issue's GL In Depth preview, Matthew Bomer plays an integral role in this weeks climax to The Garden Of Eden murder mystery, As Ben is exposed as the Culprit. But how did GL settle on Holly's mild mannered stepson as their scapegoat in this tale?
The answer depends on whom you talk to. According to a setsider, Bomer's flirtation with the big screen role of Superman started a domino affect, as GL anticipated losing the hunk to the blockbuster remake and penciled in Ben as the killer early on. When the Superman gig fell through the source says GL briefly considered changing course, but opted to stick to the original plan of having Ben be guilty--and thus leave Bomer without a job.
Bomer's res, though scoff at any suggestion that the actor was caught off guard by the serial killer plot development. "His contract was over" regardless says his new manager.
What's next for the almost-Superman? "Nothing is definite," says his rep. "He's staying in New York for now, auditioning for projects. But he is finished at GL."
In fact Bomer lasts airs this week, as Ben pays a huge, and shocking price for his sins.

Thanks for posting them Barb, though. I am sure MB's acting will be right on, even if this storyline ended in a horrible way.
