			GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE
		       Tuesday, April 1, 1997

The Park:  Jenna hugs the newly found Coop as Jeffrey beams and Buzz scowls.

Company:  Abby's having coffee with her date as Rick approaches, unable to
stand the sight of her with another man.

Ross's Office:  Ross consults his lawyer about the upcoming divorce and the
attorney wonders if divorce is the right answer for Ross and Blake.  Before
he can respond Blake and Griffin enter.

New Reva-Bend:  Josh, standing in the doorway, tells Reva their love isn't
over.  Then he notices Annie, sitting on the couch.  Annie reports she came
for the cameo; Reva chimes in that they have reached a new understanding
about her schedule to see the kids.  Josh is clueless.  Reva gets some milk
for Annie and explains that Annie will now bring the kids to her so that
Reva won't disrupt Josh and Annie's marriage.  Josh is puzzled by this new
detente.

Company:  Rick demands to speak with Abby.  She's perturbed he's
interrupting her date.

Ross's Office:  Ross introduces his attorney, Bryce Cannon and the four
begin what Ross hopes will be a quick and pleasant conversation.  Griffin
interrupts:  he has three motions.  First, they want a complete financial
disclosure, since Blake thinks there may be hidden funds in the Caribbean.
Ross is incredulous; Blake thanks him for sending her such a good attorney.


Park:  Jenna and Coop gush at each other as Jeffrey relates that he found
Coop next to the goldfish pond.  Buzz doesn't believe a word of it--if
Jeffrey was really cruising around the pond, why are his shoes so clean?
And why is Coop so clean, if he was wandering around for hours by himself?

Ross's Office:  Secondly, Griff wants Ross to have a complete physical so
that he won't unwittingly infect Kevin with germs.  Ross can't believe what
he's hearing.  Third, they wonder if Ross should be charged with
abandonment?  Blake claims if he could leave them so easily, how does she
know he won't skip out on support?  Ross, about to go into apoplexy,
demands a private conference with Blake.

Company Porch:  Rick repeats his endless diatribe about how much he loves
Abby and how they were meant to be together .  She reminds him it's over,
he lied to her, and she doesn't want to listen to him anymore.

Ross's Office:  Blake tells Ross she's just trying to follow his advice.
Ross says he knows she's just stalling and it won't work--IT'S OVER.

Reva-Bend:  Annie babbles on and on to Josh about her new found friendship
with Reva.  They are now going to be open and honest--leaving her more time
to work on her relationship with Josh and the baby.  Annie then excuses
herself to attend a PTA meeting; Josh declines the offer to accompany her.
Outside the house, Annie thanks heaven (Sarah?) for helping her out.

Ross's Office:  Ross is angry with Blake for her "tactics."  More arguing.

Park:  Jeffrey retells his "story" for the cops, and they leave.  Buzz
finally lets Jeffrey have it, having figured out his whole ploy.  Jenna's
particularly dense, refusing to see what Jeffrey's done.  Jenna and Buzz
argue, as usual.

Reva-Bend:  Josh wants to know what in hell that whole exchange with Annie
was?  Reva's in super denial mode.  He says he can't lie to Annie anymore;
he and Reva need to be together.  She's evasive, offering no real
explanation for her sudden change of heart.  He wants to know what she's
not telling him.

Company Porch:  More arguing between Abby and Rick.  He claims this problem
is just a bump in the road; she's insulted by the analogy.  Enter her date,
and she gratefully leaves for the art gallery with him.

Reva-Bend:  Reva says she's all talked out.  Josh says they have to grow up
and be honest about their feelings.  The volume of that sappy music rises
until Reva says "someone has to say enough!"  ("ENOUGH!" shouts my husband.
"Get them out of here!")

Ross's Office:  Ross says the marriage is over--her ploys are futile.  She
won't accept it, so she grabs him and kisses him hard.  (He doesn't try too
hard to resist, either.)  "Try to forget that!" she snaps, as she exits.

Park:  Jenna tells Buzz that Coop has had a trying day so she's taking him
back to the hotel with Jeffrey.  Buzz screams at her that she's being a
fool; Jeffrey grins.

Reva-Bend:  Reva says it's over--they must let go of the past.  She opens
the door for him.  "I heard you--and I don't believe a word of it, " he
replies.  After she closes the door for her daily weep, he calls Billy on
the phone asking him to help find out what Reva's up to.
