Here's a short update for 10/1/96.....

MAGGIE/NICK/SOPHIA

While taking out the garbage out back of Carlino's, Sophia spots Nick's
bike parked there, and looks upset.  Meanwhile, Maggie goes looking for
Michael in the barn and finds Nick there, pumping weights.  Maggie says
she's glad to see him, she has a note for him that she was going to give
to Michael, with her address in Paris.  Nick is uninterested, and continues
to practically ignore Maggie while she berates him for his indifference.
Maggie says it was horrible for her in Bay City while Nick was gone, everyone
was taunting her about the pregnancy deception, and Nick says, well, what did
you expect?  Maggie finally leaves, and Nick immediately rips up the paper
with her Paris address.

CARL/RAPHAEL

Carl is holding the letter from the hospital regarding Ryan's corneal
transplant, and looking disturbed.  Raphael comes in and Carl warns him
that he meant what he said at the restaurant the other night, Raphael
had better stay away from Maggie.  Raphael smoothly agrees..

SOPHIA/MATT

Sophia goes to visit Matt in his mother's studio, since he said he would
take the whole day off and try to sculpt.  Sophia is worried about how
she is going to handle Nick being back in town, when she can't even look
at his bike without feeling sick, and Matt says that Nick's return will
actually make things easier for her, since she will have to adjust more
quickly to seeing him around town.  Matt says that after he and Donna broke
up, he got over her faster than if she had gone out of town right after the
divorce, because every time he saw her he realized a little more that he
wasn't in love with her anymore.  Sophia is cheered up.

JAKE/BOBBY

Bobby is dreaming about Vicky.  He sees her enveloped in a hazy light, as she
begs someone in a hospital bed to stay, not to go away and leave her...When
Bobby wakes up with the word "Vicky" on his lips, Jake is there staring at him.
Jake tells Bobby that he (Jake) is going to be Reno's worst nightmare...

NICK/MICHAEL

Nick is still pumping iron when Michael comes in.  Michael tries to talk to
Nick, but his son is barely paying attention to him either.  Michael gets
angry and starts to chew Nick out, and finally Nick tells him that things
are going to be different from now on.  Before he trusted people and let
them make fools of him, but not anymore....

VICKY/DR. KESSLER/BOBBY

Vicky approaches Dr. Kessler and tries to get him to talk about Bobby's past
medical history, but Kessler chastises her that she should know better than
to expect him to break doctor/patient confidence.  Later, Vicky visits Bobby
in his hospital room and he opens up to her about his past blindness.  He
was once a stock car racer, a very good one, and was in a terrible crash a
year ago that injured his eyes.  When he woke up in the hospital he was totally
blind and thought he would never see again, but the doctors told him about this
corneal transplant that just might be successful.  Obviously, it worked, and
ever since then Bobby has been overwhelmingly grateful to whomever it was that
died and donated his eyes so that someone else could see.  As Bobby talks,
Vicky becomes more and more uncomfortable and distraught, and finally runs out
of the room....

SOPHIA/PAULINA/LORNA

Sophia spies Paulina loaded down with several shopping bags full of clothes --
apparently Paulina has decided to donate a part of her wardrobe to charity.
Sophia protests that some of these things are quite new, but Paulina ruefully
says that she made the mistake of going on a shopping spree right after she
found out she was pregnant, and didn't realize how much a body can change.
Lorna comes into Carlino's all bubbly about how Gabe is coming home from the
hospital, and she pleads with Paulina that things would be perfect if she
could get Gabe's favorite, some lasagna from Carlino's.  Paulina bursts into
unexpected tears, and Lorna manages to get it out of her that she's upset over
her appearance, why she hardly recognizes herself in the mirror nowadays.
Paulina begs Lorna to go shopping with her, and Lorna cheerfully agrees.

VICKY/CARL

Vicky runs up to Carl in the hospital hallway, and tells him she must speak
to him about something important -- it concerns Ryan.  Carl immediately starts
to look upset, but Vicky pushes on.  Vicky says she wants Carl to remember
the night that Ryan died, and Carl says he has spent the past year trying to
forget -- how can she torture him like this?  Carl is very emotional as he
recalls how Ryan died in his arms, and how they came and took the body away.
Vicky says, but it didn't end there, did it?  They operated and took his
corneas so they could donate them to another.  Vicky says she wants Carl to
find out who that person was.  Carl is appalled, and says what good could it
possibly do for them to know that?  It won't bring Ryan back in any way, they
won't ever be able to hear his voice or touch him again.  Vicky is insistent,
and lets it slip that she suspects Bobby Reno may have been the recipient.
Carl is shocked, and Vicky says that Bobby got his corneal transplant right
in Bay City a year ago, when Ryan died.  With tears in her eyes, Vicky
tries to convince Carl how wonderful it would be if they could be sure, and
know that a part of Ryan has been with them all along....

MAGGIE/RAPHAEL

Raphael is huffing and puffing bringing Maggie's bags downstairs.  What is
she packing anyway, he wonders -- power tools?  Maggie sweeps in and tells
him not to bother, it looks like she won't be leaving Bay City after all...

SOPHIA/NICK

Sophia is cleaning up in Carlino's when Nick walks in.  She turns around
and there he is.  "Hello, Sophia" he says....

JAKE/BOBBY

Jake busts into Bobby's hospital room yet again.  Bobby tells him he keeps
turning up like a bad penny.  Jake thrusts a manila envelope at Bobby, who
looks inside and draws out a handful of cash.  Jake tells him to feel free
to count it, but he's gonna save him the trouble -- there's &200 thousand
in there.  "That is what you came here for, isn't it?", Jake sneers. "Now get 
out of town and out of Vicky's life."  FREEZE FRAME.....
