WEEKEND CHALLENGE #1

You are and executive producer at the Soapinup Network and you have just picked up a new daily soap.  The only problem you are facing right now is that the writer who has produced a fabulous pilot script hasn't yet chose a name for the new serial drama.  You are responsible for creating a catchy title that ties in well with the storyline as presented in the pilot script.

Here is the basic premise of the script:

• Dr. Greta Life was at the top of her game working as Chief of Pyschology at the renowned Boston General Hospital.
• The leggy blond with the brilliant green eyes was involved in a loving relationship with the Surgical Chief....the breathtaking Dr. Martin Tad.
• Dr. Tad told Dr. Life he was heading off for awhile to work for Doctors Without Borders because he felt like he should give something back to the world.  Dr. Life accepted his decision but became lonely fearing she would never feel her ovaries flutter again until Martin got back.
• One evening Dr. Life had dinner with a colleague who had heard that Dr. Tad never actually signed on with Doctor's Without Borders.  She had first hand information that he had simply decided to run off and to explore his options.  Allegedly, he was in Aruba attempting to find himself.  Greta's Friend Erica insisted that technically Martin didn't lie to her because he is a doctor after all and well hey--apparently, there are no borders for him where he is either.
• Dr. Life was devastated.  She attempted to regain her composure and went back to the hospital to finish up on a consult she had been called in on by the Chief of Neurology.  She was waiting for X-Rays to come in.  When Eddie X-Ray who always had a thing for Dr. Life brought back the films, he noticed she looked sad.  He invited her for cocktails after his shift and while Greta knew this was a bad move, she felt she had nothing to lose.
• Dr. Life and Eddie X-Ray met up at "On the Rocks" a popular watering hole often populated with staff members from many of Boston's leading hospitals, off duty members of The Boston Police Department, Boston Herald Reporters and the occasional Red Sox player.  It was a popular high profile kind of watering hole.  Dr. Life poured her heart out to Eddie X-Ray as she kicked back a few tasty apple martinis.  
• Eddie, who was married to Candy a former stripper told Dr. Life his wife was out of town (could she be in Aruba with that slime bucket Dr. Martin Tad?) and he invited her back to his place.  She knew she shouldn't go but again, what did she have to lose at this point?  
• Dr. Life connected with Eddie X-Ray on a physical level and suddenly, the news of their affair was all over Beantown---organ music please!!  Dr, Life now had to decide how to live with this scandal and wondered whether or not she should flee the city of Boston.
