		GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE FOR FRIDAY FEBRUARY 23, 1996

	ALAN'S HOUSE

Hawk is eating a sandwich when Reva comes home from Cross Creek.  Reva 
isn't too happy to see him.  Hawk assumes she got back together with Josh 
and they'll be moving into his house.  Reva tells him that it didn't work 
out.  The last she saw Josh, he was getting away from her as fast as 
possible to get home to Annie.

	CEDARS HOSPITAL

Abby asks Rick if he saw Annie.  He tells her that he did and that he 
still thinks about Annie.  She asks if they're going to get back 
together.  Annie walks in.

	SPAULDING MANSION

Susan and Lucy look at the list of music for the wedding (AM chose the 
songs).  They think the songs are too old (Bebop bride & Wedding waves 
for surfin sweethearts).  Susan asks who's getting married, Elvis & 
Priscilla?  Nick had asked for eclectic music, not ancient.  Alex and 
Alan come into the room.  Alan insists that Alex leave Amanda alone.  
Alex tells him that Amanda has a deep, dark secret that will blow up in 
their faces.  Alex doesn't want it to hurt the Company.  Alan doesn't 
care about anything except that Amanda is his daughter and he loves her.

	VANESSA'S HOUSE

Matt informs Amanda that he told Vanessa about their past together.  
Vanessa tells Amanda to get out of her house.  Amanda asks if she's going 
to banish Matt too, "my stud-for-hire turned family man".  Vanessa tells 
her it's none of her business.  Amanda, "But it use to be."  Matt starts 
to throw her out when Josh comes in and asks to talk to him.  Vanessa 
says she'll take care of "Madame Spaulding".  Josh and Matt go upstairs.  
Matt asks what's gotten into Josh.  Josh, "Reva."

	ALAN'S

Hawk asks what happened.  Reva tells him that they found that they could 
fight as good as ever.  Hawk, "Goin' to the mat with Josh is your version 
of foreplay."  Reva, "That's a horrible thing to say.  Even if it is 
true."  Reva tells Hawk that she told Josh she loves him, but he ran out 
on her.  Hawk thinks Josh rushed back to break things off with Nurse Dutton.

	CEDARS

Annie starts to leave but Abby tells her to stay because she has a class 
to go to.  Rick does some paper work until Annie grabs it and tells him 
that she wants to transfer to another area in the hospital.  Rick doesn't 
want to lose his best trauma nurse.  She asks if working with her will be 
a problem for him.  She calls him her confidant and best buddy, and 
wonders if she led him on.

	VANESSA'S

Josh tells Matt that Annie is great and "darned near perfect".  He didn't 
know meeting Reva at Cross Creek would have an incredible effect on him.  
They agreed to a divorce and joint custody of the children, but Josh 
realized that he still wants Reva and loves her.

	CEDARS

Rick tells Annie she didn't lead him on and she's not responsible for 
him.  Annie is sorry.  Rick tells her that she can't run to him every 
time she has a problem with Josh, he can't be her confidant.  It's too 
hard, so she's on her own.

	VANESSA'S

Josh doesn't want to hurt Annie.  He asks Matt for help.  He can't live a 
lie with Annie or deny what he feels for Reva.  Matt recommends that Josh 
tell Annie the truth.

Vanessa wants to scratch Amanda's eyes out.  Amanda, "You knew Matt had a 
few odd jobs before he married you.  I guess you didn't know how odd they 
were."  Vanessa calls Amanda a pimp and scum and no amount of perfume 
will cover that smell.  Amanda, "This from the town nymphomaniac."  
Vanessa, "Why don't you trot on down to 5th Street and flush out your 
stable."  Vanessa threatens to tell the town about Amanda, but Amanda 
doesn't think Vanessa will tell anyone.  Amanda, "I may have hired a 
whore, but you married one."  Vanessa tells her to leave Matt out of it 
because Amanda used Matt.  Amanda tells Vanessa that if she goes down, 
she'll take Matt with her.  Alex walks in and tells Vaness that "Amanda 
can sink lower than a sow's belly in springtime."  She asks Vanessa what 
she's missed and how can she help Vanessa bury "this poor example of a 
Spaulding."

Josh asks Matt if he can imagine losing five years with a woman you love 
more than your life.  Matt hopes he doesn't have to.  Josh tells him that 
after one touch and one kiss it was like the five years didn't happen and 
all the other women vanished.  What he felt for Reva didn't die.  He 
can't ignore it and has to deal with it.  Josh hopes Matt and Vanessa 
don't have to deal with anything like this.

Vanessa asks if Alex has a problem with Amanda.  Alex, "Other than the 
fact that her hair clogs every drain in the house?"  She wants to know what 
Matt and Amanda are up to since she heard him threaten Amanda if she 
didn't stay away from Blake.  Alex asks Vanessa if she knows what it's 
about.  Vanessa says Matt is Blake's friend.  Alex doesn't want any more 
scandals after the Brent Lawrence fiasco and she's also worried about 
Alan since he's still reeling from Reva.  He doesn't need 
daughter-dearest to cause more grief.  Amanda says she's not hiding 
anything and thinks Alex is despicable for drawing Matt & Vanessa into 
their feud.  Vanessa thinks Amanda is funny for calling Alex despicable.  
Alex to Vanessa, "If you work with me, I'll have Miss Hoo Hoo here back in 
LaLa land before the sun sets over Santa Monica."  Matt & Josh come down the 
stairs.  Josh leaves.  Alex asks for the scoop.  Vanessa tells Alex that 
even if she knew Amanda's secret, she wouldn't tell Alex.  Alex is 
disappointed in Vanessa, so she turns to Matt.  Matt won't tell her 
anything either.  Alex promises Amanda that she'll find out her dirty 
little secret and get her out of her house and her family and her company.

	ALAN'S

Reva thinks Josh ran back to Annie.  Hawk insists that Josh will give the 
Mutton woman the heave-ho.  Reva doesn't think so.  Hawk, "Josh loves you 
as much as..."  Reva, "Alan Spaulding."  Hawk gasps and grabs his chest.  
Reva says Alan stood by her and wouldn't have walked out on her if she 
hadn't pushed him too far.  She loves Josh, but maybe he isn't the man 
she belongs with.

	SPAULDING MANSION

The wedding flowers arrive.  AM doesn't think Nick should see them before 
the wedding.  Lucy, "That's the dress, you handsome dimwit", giggle, 
giggle.  Susan says they're making their own rules.  Alan, "I knew I 
liked this young lady."  AM can't wait to make Lucy his bride.  Lucy 
already feels like his bride.  Alan has a fantasy about marrying Reva and 
carrying her up the staircase.

	CEDARS

Annie promises not to dump any of her problems on Rick.  He promises not 
to slam her door again.  <Then they try to talk like Bogart, but I 
couldn't understand them & I don't think Rick knew what Annie said 
either.>  Annie asks what Rick did after he left her.  He tells her that 
he went to a bar and played pool.  Josh arrives and Rick leaves.  Annie 
tells Josh that she knew he went to Cross Creek with Reva.  Josh wants to 
tell her the truth at their house.  Annie asks if they're going to be 
ok.  Josh laughs awkwardly and suggests that they go.
	
	SPAULDING MANSION

AM asks Alan if he was thinking about Reva.  Alan tells him that he's 
never felt about any woman the way he feels about Reva.  She makes him 
feel alive and fulfills him.  AM feels the same about Lucy.  Alan says 
Reva fills a void in his life that's always been there and she's willful, 
maddening and self-centered.  AM thinks he's hooked.  Alan is 
disappointed to have lost her after being so close.

	ALAN'S

Reva tells Hawk to leave her alone.  Hawk calls Alan a liar and a cheat 
and the man who knew that Josh was the father of her baby and didn't tell 
her.  Reva says he's changed.  Alex arrives to see Hawk and re-hire him.  
Reva, "Hopefully driving a rickshaw in Shanghai."  She leaves.  Hawk 
offers to get his uniform, but Alex doesn't want him to be her chauffer.  
Alex, "You'll like this assignment much better."  Hawk, "I'll be your boy 
toy, but it's going to cost you."  He sits close to her on the couch.  
Alex tells him he's going to fly to Los Angeles.  Hawk, "We going to join 
the mile-high club?"  Alex, "You may become a member of the Eunuch's 
Anonymous Club if you don't just shut up and listen."  She wants him to 
find out what Amanda was doing in California.  He asks for new clothes, 
so she gives him money.  Alex, "I know what Jane Hathaway feels like 
now."  

	VANESSA'S

Amanda thanks Vanessa.  Vanessa would have told Alex if Matt hadn't been 
involved.  Amanda, "The only difference between you and the women he used 
to service is that you don't have to pay for it.  Or do you?"  Matt drags 
her out of the house.  Matt asks Vanessa if he should leave too.  Vanessa 
doesn't know.  She hates that he lied to her.  Matt is sorry, but he's the 
same guy she married.  She says he's not.  Matt tells her that he dated a 
few lonely women.  He doesn't want Amanda to ruin what they have 
together.  She asks what they have.  She doesn't know anymore.

	CEDARS

Rick remembers kissing Annie.  Abby walks in and asks if he's back with 
Annie.  Rick tells her that they aren't and he's free to date.	

	JOSH'S

Annie asks Josh what he has to tell her.  He's sorry she heard about 
Cross Creek from Rick.  Annie tells him that Rick was worried Josh was 
getting back with Reva.  Josh asks if that's what she thinks.  Annie 
doesn't.  She knows nothing will get between them and they are in it 
until death do us part.  She tells Josh that Rick loves her and wants her 
back.  Josh knew Rick loved her, but didn't think he'd make moves on 
her.  Annie, "He loves his ex-wife and wants her back.  You can kinda 
understand that, can't you?"

	VANESSA'S

Matt doesn't want Vanessa to let something that happened years ago come 
between them and ruin what they have.  Vanessa doesn't know what they 
have.  Matt says they have each other.  Vanessa needs time to think and 
she wants to be alone.  Matt doesn't want to be shut out.  She doesn't 
want to be pressured.  Matt says she's reacting like she did before they 
got married, things don't go her way so she shuts down.  Vanessa, "If you 
don't know the difference between then and now, you're having been a stud 
for hire is the least of our problems."

	SPAULDING MANSION

Amanda arrives and offers to help Lucy and Susan with their hair and 
makeup, so they go upstairs.   Susan tells Nick to shower and shave.  
Alan & AM think it's going to be smooth sailing until Alex arrives and 
wants to talk about Amanda.  They refuse to listen to Alex until after 
the wedding.  Alan says Nick and Susan will elope if Alex doesn't act 
with civility towards Amanda.  Alex agrees.

	JOSH'S

Annie told Rick that they could never be romantic again.  Doorbell.  
Annie, "Kinda like you and Reva."  Josh goes to answer the door.  Annie 
follows Josh, "I was right, wasn't I, Josh?  I was right telling Rick you 
wouldn't leave me for Reva, wasn't I?"  Josh opens the door.  It's Reva.
