Our Aim Is True

It’s so funny to be seeing ATWT’s Alison after not so long — Jessica Dunphy just left the role in 2005, when Ali finally got her happy ending with Aaron. Apparently, Seattle didn’t agree with the sassy blonde, because Marnie Schulenburg has been hired to take on Alison, who will show up on Y&R sans Aaron on February 22, as Amber’s (Adrienne Frantz) friend — a crossover within a crossover! — and then move to ATWT in March. In this quiz, we look at her tumultuous young life, from the first guy to take off her party dress to the silly things she used to say. (But we’re not gonna get too sentimental.) 1. How was Alison conceived?

1. Susan and Larry hired Emily as a surrogate to carry their child.
2. She is a clone of Emily.
3. Emily and Larry had sex; Em gave the baby to her mother, Susan.
4. Emily donated her egg, which was fertilized and implanted in Susan’s womb.

2. Alison got arrested for underage drinking at the country club, so Emily demoted her from maid of honor at her wedding to Hal. Ali was so upset that she crashed the ceremony in a trashy dress; who got the honor instead?

1. Rose
2. Susan
3. Jennifer
4. Carly

3. Alison set the Snyder barn on fire, in hopes of giving crush Aaron a chance to “rescue” her and become a hero around town. Unfortunately, he ended up getting accused of the crime, so Ali went on the run with him and Lucy. Which city wasn’t on their runaway tour?

1. St. Louis
2. Pittsburgh
3. New Orleans
4. Charlotte

4. Though Alison unsuccessfully tried to blame the arson on young Will, she ended up confessing. Ali was ready to accept a plea bargain for a six-month sentence, but the judge remembered her from a past indiscretion and came up with a new sentence. What was it?

1. 10,000 hours of community service
2. One year in the Oakdale Reformatory for Women
3. One year in a mental institution
4. One year of hard labor

5. Why did Alison fake her death in 2003?

1. To make Aaron feel guilty for choosing Lucy over her
2. To get her mother and Emily’s attention
3. Because her stepfather/psycho serial killer Dr. Rick Decker believed that he had poisoned her to death
4. To get out of prison

6. To whom did Alison lose her virginity (the same night he was “purchased” for her by Emily at a bachelor auction)?

1. Aaron
2. Chris
3. Will

1. Aaron
2. Chris
3. Will
4. Katie

8. While they were living with Bob and Kim, Chris lost all of his money on a bad condo scheme. Alison offered to help pay the bills, but Chris didn’t want her to work. Naturally, she just got a job at Metro and lied that she was doing something else at night. What was it?

1. Volunteering at the clinic
2. Listening to Katie whine about Mike
3. Working out at the gym
4. Taking a pottery class

1. He realized that she still wasn’t mature enough to be a wife.
2. He was in love with Emily.
