GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE - TUESDAY 5/20/97
(This is going to be a short one)

Highlights:
Reva - Blake confrontation
Josh loses it with Annie
Bill (to Josh) & Holly (to Roger) as the voice of reason
Annie turns true psycho?


ONLINE CHAT:  Robert (Matt) presses Tess (Vanessa) to tell him about
herself.  Tess explains that she is isn't mobile - her personal trainer was
in fact her physical therapist; she explains that the doctors aren't sure
yet. Robert asks her if her illness had to do with her separation and Tess
admits that it does.  Robert thinks Tess' husband was a jerk to leave her
and she says it wasn't the husband's fault - he didn't know.  Robert
realizes that Tess' husband didn't know when she left.  

CARRIAGE HOUSE:  Blake answers the door to Reva. Blake doesn't want to talk
to Reva; Reva claims she only came to bring some old toys of Marah and
Shayne's for Blake and the boys.  Reva waxes on about old things and family;
Blake looks guiltier by the moment.

LOWHAD:  Josh and Annie arrive home - Annie goes one on about she couldn't
have taken any more. Annie complains about her stiff neck.  Josh offers to
give Annie a massage - while he does she goes on and on about what Reva did
- pushing her down the stairs - and the massage gets rougher; Billy walks in
and stops Josh.

LIGHTHOUSE TWIRL

Annie coughs, Josh apologizes, and Annie says it's o.k.  Annie wonders about
why Billy is there and Josh says Billy is there to help him with an
electrical short at the carousel.  Josh and Billy leave as Billy says it may
take awhile.  On the porch, Billy questions Josh about what he was doing to
Annie.  Josh doesn't know how much longer he can fake things with Annie

THANK YOU ALWAYS FOR THIS PORTION OF GUIDING LIGHT (was that an inside joke
on the part of P & G?)

ONLINE CHAT: Tess explains to Robert about her disease and how she wanted to
spare her husband. Robert wants nothing to do with it; Tess tries to explain
again why she left -so her husband wouldn't see her in her diseased state.
Robert thinks she was wrong, and thinks since she is recovering she should
be with her husband. 

COURTHOUSE:  Roger finds Ross; he tries to explain that Blake was very upset
by the hearing; Ross doesn't want to talk to Roger.  Ross explains that
Blake is involved whether he wants to call her or not, and wonders why Roger
is so concerned.

Roger explains that Blake was too upset - Ross wants to know what. Roger
explains that Blake was upset by the hearing, and that she is haunted by the
idea of losing her sons the night of the car accident.  Roger implores Ross
to prosecute the case without Blake.

CARRIAGE HOUSE:  Blake doesn't believe Reva came to talk about toys.  Blake
continues to claim she can't help.  Reva calls the mother card, then tells
Blake how she could see that Blake was holding back, and she remembers that
Blake was in PR.  Blake says that was before the twin incident.  Reva
reminds Blake of how long she will lose her children if she goes to prison.
Reva implores Blake to tell the truth about Annie.  Reva reminds Blake again
of what she could lose - her children and the only man she has ever loved.

LOWHAD PORCH: Josh is pacing and telling Billy how he can't stand being with
Annie.  Josh asks if Billy has talked to Rusty and if Rusty has any info on
Fran. Josh still thinks Alan helped Annie. Josh and Billy both believe that
Annie took the fetus (baby) so no tests could be done. Billy agrees, and
Josh thinks that is his answer.

LOWHAD LIVING ROOM:  Annie calls Dr. Sedgwick; asks how long it will be
until she can have sex with Josh - the answer is six weeks...Annie agrees
over the phone.  Annie then goes to a picture of the JANNIE wedding that she
has hidden under the couch, unwraps it, and places it on the mantle.

LOWHAD PORCH:  Josh thinks he knows what to do but not how to do it.  Billy
doesn't get it.  Josh tells Billy that he has an idea, and if it pans out
the charges will be dropped against Reva, and Annie will have no one to
blame but herself.  

ONLINE CHAT:  Robert realizes that Tess left her husband with no word.
Robert tries to explain what Tess' husband must have gone through.  Tess
gets angry and cuts Robert off - he goes to a black screen.

CARRIAGE HOUSE:  Reva again implores Blake to help.  Reva needs help and
backup;  Blake takes the laundry into the next room and cries to herself.
Blake returns;  she continues to maintain that she is friends with Annie.
Blake and Reva continue to argue; Reva thinks Annie has something on Blake
that involves Ross.  Blake says "NO" and clenches one hand so tight that she
draws blood and Reva sees it.

COURTHOUSE:  Roger maintains that even if he doesn't like Ross, if Ross
makes Blake happy then that is o.k.  Roger asks Ross not to mention it to
Blake, and Ross says that if Roger says not to, then he will (Holly walks up
and overhears this conversation). Ross storms off. Holly wants to know what
Roger is up to and he trys to blow it off but Holly won't let him. Holly
wants to know what Roger knows about Blake.

Holly wants to know what is going on - all Blake has to do is tell the
truth.  Holly admits that Blake suggested that Annie wasn't telling the
truth at the party.  Holly wants to know if Annie is blackmailing Holly and
presses Roger to tell the truth.

CARRIAGE HOUSE:  Reva asks Blake about her hand - Blake tries to pass it off
as a broken blister from burning herself cooking the night before.  Reva
pushes Blake again about being under Annie's thunb;  Reva and Blake argue;
Reva tries to pull the mother card again.  Blake denies everything; then
accuses Reva of calling the mother card; they argue again.

ONLINE CHAT:  Matt strolls around the house with a drink; e-mails Tess; she
hesitates but responds.  Tess asks for an apology; Robert explains that he
doesn't agree but will apologize for being unkind - it hit a nerve for him.
For Robert, it wouldn't have mattered if she was sick. Tess is still unsure,
and that's why she hasn't contacted her husband.  Robert implores Tess to
call her husband and tell him she's never stopped loving him.

COURTHOUSE:  Holly is incredulous about the things Annie has done to Blake.
Roger says no, and Holly thinks he is crazy - she points out that Reva could
go do prison; Roger is convinced that the truth will come out Blake, or no,
Blake. Holly thinks they should do the right thing; Rog convinces Holly that
the right thing to do is to keep silent. rog talks about the pain of being
without the person you love the most - classic Holly look!  Holly says she
will only keep quiet for now.

CARRIAGE HOUSE:  Blake apologizes again to Reva for not being able to help.
Reva acknowledges how good Annie is. Blake admits she would do the same
thing if she had to.  Reva pulls the mother card again and asks Blake to
look at her twins - and think of all the things she would miss without them.
Ross bursts in!  and wants to know what Reva is doing there!

LOWHAD:  Josh returns and Annie wants to know where Billy is (back to the
half-way house).  Annie gets amourous.  Josh tells her he has been in shock
and needs to know what happened to the baby (and how she got past it all so
quickly). He calls for a full investigation (of what happened to the baby's
body).
