            *********GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE***********
                   for Monday, March 27, 1995

Cedars:
The hospital staff throws a surprise "gift-giving" ceremony for
Ed and Eve before they slip off to city hall to get married.

Diner:
Frank asks Nick to watch Marina for him for a few minutes.  Holly
comes in, asking Nick where Fletcher is.  Nick tells her about
his trip to Portugal.  Holly thinks Rog is behind it.

WSPR:
Rog gets a Fletcher report from one of his spies.  Blake arrives
(it's her birthday).  He gives her a big hug, but she seems less
than pleased.

Lewis Oil:
Vanessa conducts business on the phone.  Matt comes for a visit
and finds Vanessa in a slight state of panic due to Josh's
departure.  Vanessa tells him Josh never came home, and that
Annie's number is unlisted.

Annie's Apartment:
Josh wakes up on Annie's floor, surrounded by mousetraps and
Annie's legs.  He kisses her on the forehead and she awakes
screaming.  (Gee, somehow I could care less why she did this).
Josh apologizes, and she is very flustered.  She notices she's
late for work, and starts running around, frantically.  Josh
calls his kids as Annie gets ready.

Nick fills Holly in on the whole lawyer visit and Ben's
grandmother.  Holly is convinced it's a setup.

Roger gives Blake a present, and he gives her his regrets on not
being able to attend her birthday celebration that night.  He
plays it up, saying he isn't over Holly and couldn't handle it. 
Blake seems disappointed with Roger in general.  Blake starts
talking about getting older (she'll soon be pushing 30), and re-
examining her life.  Blake says her marriage is in danger because
of Dinah.  She says she needs her family's support in the
situation.  Rog says she has his support.  Blake says Ross
realizes Dinah isn't perfect, but things are strained.  Blake
sees some pamphlets on Richmond, and Blake asks if he's moving. 
He pretends he's thinking about it because of Holly, and Blake
runs out.

Ed leads a bunch of medical students on rounds.  Eve comes in,
and Ed is distracted, much to the patient's chagrin.  The
diagnosis on the patient is acute appendicitis, and Eve starts
seeing the room swim.  She leaves, and Lillian asks if
something's wrong.  Eve pretends everything's fine (OK, maybe a
brain tumor if she's dizzy...).

Josh made Annie breakfast while she took a shower.  Annie gets a
mysterious phone call and Josh gives her some privacy.  Annie
wants to know how the person got her phone number (since she's
unlisted) and begs the caller to not "tell him where I am." 
She's upset by the phone call, and covers when Josh comes back. 
They sit down to breakfast.  Josh notices her "spartan" lifestyle
(no photos, nick-knacks).  She claims she lost everything when
she moved from Chicago.  Josh doesn't appear to buy that
explanation, but drops it.  He lays across the table and gives
her a big kiss.  They talk about last night, and Annie says she's
glad she lost all her things in Chicago since she was hoping for
a clean slate.  Josh says "Me, too."  

Matt leaves Vanessa still on the phone and passes Mindy on the
way out.  She runs into a woman named Linda.  (Wanda and Mindy
assume she is the new temp).  Dinah barges in to suck up to
Vanessa and apologizes for her irrational behavior.  She claims
she's trying to quit smoking for Blake.  She asks Vanessa what
Matt said about her last night and starts explaining her "side." 
Vanessa has no clue what she's talking about.  Matt appears in
the doorway, apparently overhearing the last bit of Dinah's scam.

Blake appears at the diner.  Frank asks for his bugging equipment
back for a job.  Blake asks for some slack since it's her
birthday.  She sees Holly who declines the dinner invitation for
that evening.  Blake says Roger already declined.  Holly says she
thinks Rog is up to something, but Blake says she thinks Rog has
given up and is thinking of moving to Virginia.  Blake moans
about her troubles with Dinah and Ross, and begs Holly to put
aside her differences with Rog for her birthday dinner.  Holly
agrees to try.  

Dinah sees Matt and starts putting a major spin on things.  Matt
tells Vanessa how Dinah came by the boarding house to accuse him
of badmouthing her Vanessa.  Dinah lets it "slip" that she and
Matt when she first came to town.  Vanessa is stunned.  She wants
to know why they didn't tell her.  Dinah plays innocent.  Matt
tries to get her to tell Vanessa what she said when she and Matt
first met, but Dinah pretends she doesn't remember and leaves.

Vanessa wants to know why Matt didn't tell her about meeting
Dinah.  Matt tells her about what Dinah said, and says he didn't
tell her because he didn't want to hurt her.  Vanessa wonders
what else Matt didn't tell her.  He tells her about Dinah's visit
to him the night before in the bathroom of the boarding house,
and says he doesn't want Vanessa to get hurt by Dinah.

Josh comes in to Lewis Oil, and Mindy introduces him to the new
receptionist.  They find out she used to be a dancer on broadway,
and recently met the man of her dreams and they're sailing around
the world next week.  Vanessa comes out of her office and wants
to know the woman's name (Linda).  Vanessa announces that this is
HB's "woman." Josh and Mindy are surprised.

Lillian sees Eve later and asks her how she's feeling.  Eve is
better, but is concerned that Lillian is skipping her mammogram. 
They discuss the upcoming nuptials (in just a little bit).  Eve
is nervous.  Lillian gives her a reassuring hug.  She says Eve
looks pale.  Lillian gets a page and has to leave.  Eve looks
concerned.

Roger sees Holly come in to WSPR and sets out some brochures on
Virginia and pretends to talk to Gilly, saying he's leaving the
station, too.  Holly doesn't appear to buy his act.

Holly inquires about Gilly's well-being.  She says she has a few
job options she is considering.  Rog pretends he has a meeting,
and Holly says she's concerned about Blake.  Holly suggests they
work out a compromise for Blake's sake for her birthday.  

Linda has a letter for everyone from H.B..  She gives it to Josh
and takes off to meet H.B. at the airport.  Josh reads the letter
which explains that he and Linda are going on a cruise.  H.B.
then tells them to basically get over all their pettiness and
keep Lewis Oil running.  He tells Josh to get along with Vanessa. 
He praises Mindy and Wanda.  He asks Vanessa if she really wants
to keep taking on all the pressures of running Lewis Oil.  Matt
interrupts because he has something to say.

Matt announces that he knows Vanessa loves what  she does and
he's behind her 100%.  Vanessa says she intends to give the
company her all.  Everyone agrees H.B. said things that make a
lot of sense.  Vanessa teases Josh not to give any more
handwritten memos.  H.B.'s P.S to the letter tells Matt to "marry
that girl."

Holly and Rog agree to get along tonight for Blake's sake.  Rog
tells her to invite Fletcher if she wants, and he might invite
someone, too.

Ed picks up Eve at the hospital to go get married.  The hospital
staff send them off with confetti and presents.  Eve faints as
she and Ed try to leave.  

That's it!
