            ***********GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE**********
                    for Monday, April 10, 1995


Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me with their congratulations and
well wishes on my pregnancy!  (I'll have to see if the baby 
recognizes the GL and ATWT themes when its born.)  And, thanks to
everyone for being so understanding about me missing last
Monday's update (thanks to Judy for filling in!!).

So, here it goes:

EVE'S FINAL COUNTDOWN AND MORE ANNIE AND JOSH (SNORE!):
Ed is frantically trying to put together a top surgical team for
Eve's surgery.  Rick interrupts him to announce he'll do Eve's
surgery.

Michelle comes in to Ed's office and sees Rick.  They have a
happy reunion, with lots of gushing about how beautiful she's
become.  Michelle begs Rick to stay.  Ed tells Michelle that
Bridget will be staying with her for a few days.  Michelle wants
to really know what is wrong with Eve.  Bridget shows up to
retrieve Michelle.  They leave.  Ed wants to know what made Rick
change his mind, but Eve interrupts them.  Rick and Eve tell Ed
about meeting at the lighthouse, and as a result, Rick agrees to
do the surgery.  Ed is pleased.

Outside the emergency room, Annie finds Josh waiting for her to
go on her break.  She gives him 2 minutes.  She invites him over
to catch her mouse.  She's forgiven him for his stalking of her
at her grandmother's house.  He pretends to have an injury so he
can kiss her.

Josh and Annie discuss the upcoming 5th street Ball.  Annie
bought two tickets for them.  Josh seems to be upset about this,
saying it emasculates him (???) but agrees to go.  Josh says
he'll be back when his shift is over, and Annie leaves.  

A nurse hunts Eve down in Ed's office and makes her go back to
bed.  Ed tells Rick that he'll assist Rick tomorrow.  Rick
refuses to let Ed assist because it wouldn't be in Eve's best
interest.  Rick leaves, but doesn't notice Annie in the hallway,
who does notice him.  

Eve checks her blood pressure alone in her hospital room.  She
palpates her abdomen.  Ed comes in for a visit.  She talks to Ed
about the view outside her room window.  She notes it is Spring,
her favorite time of the year.  She gets Ed to cuddle with her in
her hospital bed.  Ed tells her to name anything she wants and
she can have it.  She wants to plant a dogwood tree at the house,
and grow a garden.  We hear Ed ask if she wants to go away for
the summer while we see Rick deep in thought, looking at X-rays. 
Eve agrees.  They talk about how Eve and Michelle tried to pick
out a dog, but couldn't decide which one they wanted.  Ed says
they should get married.

Rick catches Ed and Eve in her bed, and tells them everything is
set for the morning.  As he leaves he sees Annie.  He calls to
her.  She looks uncomfortable, but puts on a smile, turns around
and says, "Rick!"

Annie and Rick share a long hug.  Annie seems uncomfortable and
nervous.  Rick tells her he's staying for a while to do Eve's
surgery.  Annie seems pleased.  She tries to leave, and Rick
stops her saying that one of these days they'll have to talk
about her "new life."  They say goodbye and Annie runs in to
Josh, whom she nervously hurries off in the opposite direction.

Ed cuddles with Eve, saying he doesn't want to go home.

THE AFTERMATH:
At the Roadhouse, A-M sits at the bar and sulks, lost in thought. 
Cutter comes in to a warm greeting from Tangie, then asks A-M if
he's bailing out any more employees.  A-M isn't amused.  Brent
enters, and A-M asks him where Lucy is.

At the Diner, Buzz and Frank are up late talking.  Outside, Lucy
sits huddled in a ball, obviously upset.  

A-M quizzes Brent about why his date ended so early.  Brent says
they had a great time, but that he didn't want Lucy to stay out
too late because she's so young.  He still has energy to burn and
starts dancing with some woman.  A-M looks displeased.

As she sits outside the Diner, Lucy overhears Frank and Buzz
talking about Brent and Lucy.  Frank doesn't like him.  Nadine
and Eleni show up, defending Brent and Lucy.  Nadine and Eleni
encourage Frank and Buzz to not give Lucy a hard time about
Brent.  Lucy starts to enter the Diner, but changes her mind and
leaves.

At Company, David, Bridget, Matt and Michelle play cards, but
Michelle is preoccupied with what is going on with Eve.  Bridget
sees Lucy come in and walk up to her room.  In her room, Lucy
locks the door and proceeds to take off her clothes.  Her
camisole is ripped, her shoulders are bruised and she keeps
having flashbacks to the rape. She listens to A-M's message, then
turns her machine off.  She seems rather dazed.  Bridget yells
from the hallway to ask how her big night was. Lucy hides all her
clothes in the closet and lets Bridget in.  Bridget can tell
something is up, and wants to know if Lucy wants to talk.  She
asks her how the date was.  Lucy acts like nothing is wrong and
tries to cover, but pretends she's tired and wants to go bed. 
Bridget is sure the night worked out the way it was supposed to. 
Peter cries and Bridget leaves.  Lucy locks her door.

Eleni and Nadine prepare a midnight snack of scrambled eggs for
themselves, Frank and Buzz, and the four of them continue their
conversation about Lucy.  Eleni tells them about A-M's feelings
for Lucy.  This upsets Frank, who thinks the only thing Brent has
going for him is that he's not A-M.  Eleni defends A-M, much to
Frank's displeasure.  Nadine says Frank won't like anyone Lucy is
involved with.  Buzz doesn't want to believe that Brent and A-M
are the only two choices for Lucy.  Eleni and Nadine tell them to
chill out; it is Lucy's decision about what she does with her
life.  Frank reasserts he has a problem with Brent.  

Brent dances VERY closely with a girl in a tight purple dress. 
A-M is obviously not happy about it.  Tangie gives him a beer on
the house and they chit chat.  A-M keeps staring at Brent, and
tells Tangie there is something Brent is not telling him.  A-M
goes to interrupt Brent, but ends up just staring at him.

Lucy showers (bad move, Lucy).

David and Matt try to take Michelle's mind off Eve.  Michelle
wants to know what is going on with Eve.  She complains that no
one tells her anything.  All she knows is Eve is having surgery. 
Matt and David try to console her.  They tell her Eve's getting
the best care, and tell her tales of how Eve's become the "Terror
of 4-west."  This cheers her up.  Bridget comes back down, and
says that she thinks Lucy's night with Brent didn't work out. 

At the Roadhouse, Brent talks to Cutter and apologizes for
mouthing off to him. He  tells him that his boss is upset because
of who he is dating.  He then tells Cutter that Lucy is sending
him mixed signals, and blames it on A-M's ambivalence.  

Lucy lies in bed in fetal position, having flashbacks of her
evening.  (I think Sonia Satra is doing a much better job acting
than I expected.  Not Emmy caliber, but definitely not
laughable).

At the Diner, Frank and Eleni go to bed, but Buzz is still up,
pacing around, worried about Lucy.  Nadine wants to talk about
herself and Buzz.  She wants to discuss her love life.  She isn't
sure how she feels about Carroll.  She doesn't want him to feel
pressured to take her now that she's divorced (kind of like a
coupon... you buy something because it's practically free, not
because you need it).  She wonders if she was going too fast with
Carroll.  She says she never knows if a relationship is wrong. 
Buzz is highly amused by Nadine's whole confession.  Nadine yells
at him, but then tells him that no matter what happens, they're
always family.  Nadine says she feels like she's Lucy's mom.  She
offers to talk to Lucy for Buzz.  Buzz seems touched.  Buzz says
he has to realize she's not a little girl any more.  

A-M knocks on Lucy's door.  She ignores him and stays huddled on
her bed, crying.  A-M leaves.

Back downstairs, A-M tells Bridget that Lucy didn't answer when
he knocked on her door.  Bridget says she's let Lucy know he
stopped by.  Meanwhile, Lucy is taking another shower and crying. 

(I definitely don't feel good about the way this storyline is
playing out...)


That's it!
