GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE -- THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1997

Highlights:
* Jenna & Buzz plot to defeat Jeffrey's deal with the judge.
* Josh decides to take his troubled kids out of town.
* Vanessa & Matt chat some more.
* Annie's cramps return as Reva confronts Annie & Alan.

CEDARS HOSPITAL: Jenna and Jeffrey discuss the ground rules of their new 
relationship. Jenna promises to try to make the relationship work as 
long as Jeffrey doesn't keep her locked up & doesn't insist on knowing 
where she is every second of the day. Jeff agrees, but doesn't think 
Jenna will have much time to enjoy her freedom, because he expects they 
will be leaving for England tomorrow.

LUCERNE: Vanessa is pleased to see Michael. It's a beautiful spring day 
& she's in a good mood. She's ready for her workout. If only the doctors 
would confirm that she's experiencing a cure rather than a remission, 
she'd go back to Matt in a flash.

REARDON HOUSE: A book sits on a table, open to "The Lady of the Lake." 
Marah & Shayne tumble down the stairs, arguing as usual. Matt offers the 
kids cereal for breakfast. Shayne's not hungry & doesn't want to go to 
school. Matt tries to talk to Shayne with no luck. Josh comes down & 
tells the kids to ditch their snarky attitudes. He reminds Shayne of 
their deal to help each other out. Shayne says Josh didn't keep his 
promise. He's being extremely difficult & tells off Marah, saying she's 
not his mother, then runs out of the room. Marah goes after her brother. 
Josh tells Matt this is tougher than he thought it would be, but he had 
no choice but to leave Annie.

LAND OF UNFULFILLED WISHES, LOST HOPE & BAD DREAMS: Over the phone, 
Annie tells Alan that Josh has left her. She asks him to come over & 
help her figure out what to do. Suddenly, she falls to the floor in 
agony & drops the phone. 

Annie sits doubled over & prays that the pain will go away. The doorbell 
rings & she manages to answer it, but she's surprised to see that it's 
Reva, not Alan.. Annie says it's not a good time, but Reva doesn't care. 
She tells Annie it's over; Reva knows about her trail of lies. Annie 
suggests they talk things out over a cup of tea, but Reva's not feeling 
that dignified. Annie just wants to sit down. "If you weren't preganant, 
Annie, you wouldn't be sitting--you'd be horizontal!" promises Reva as 
she follows Annie into the living room. Reva says she knows they're not 
sisters and that Annie made it all up.

CEDARS LOUNGE: Jenna says she can't leave Springfield, because that 
would break her probation. Jeffrey says sometimes the rules can be bent. 
He explains about his meeting with the judge & his request for her to 
accompany him back to England. The judge liked Jeffrey's suggestion that 
Jenna would never return to the US. Jenna warns Jeffrey that his plan 
could backfire if he's tried anything underhanded. She could end up 
scrubbing bathrooms in the pokey. Jeffrey says the judge was very 
understanding about his dying mother, & how Jeffrey couldn't leave his 
wife & son behind. Today may be Jenna's last day in town, so he advises 
her to make the most of it. He leaves & Jenna darts to a pay phone. She 
calls Buzz & asks him to come over fast. She says Jeffrey's planning to 
take her & Coop back to England.

REARDON HOUSE: Josh & Shayne return to the living room after Shayne's 
apology to Marah, but Shayne's not looking any happier. Cousin Bill 
enters with cinnamon toast. Shayne says he misses Annie. Marah wonders 
if she's doing OK. Josh is sure she's fine & says they'll see her soon. 
Matt says it's time for the kids to go to school & the men to go for 
work. Marah offers to stay home & babysit Shayne. Josh says no & Shayne 
takes exception to being called a baby. He starts to run upstairs, but 
stops when Bill whistles at him. He thinks Bill's whistle is cool, so 
Bill promises to teach him how to do it if he ties his sneakers. Bill 
says he'll drive the kids to school in Matt's big red truck. Josh gives 
them both hugs & sends them on their way.

LEWIS HOUSE: Annie tries to play the wounded party, but Reva's having 
none of it. She says she figured it all out. Annie tries to argue the 
facts of the case, but Reva says the picture in the cameo is a fake, 
just like Annie. Reva doesn't know how Annie found out she was looking 
for her sister, or how she engineered the wild goose chase, but she sure 
would love to know. The doorbell rings again & Annie lets Alan in. He 
asks if she's OK & whether she's called the doctor. Reva sees Alan & 
realizes he's the missing piece of her puzzle.

CEDARS: Jenna asks Buzz what he knows about Judge Hopkins. Buzz says 
he's a straight shooter. Jenna explains how Jeffrey fooled him & worries 
that the judge will approve Jeffrey's request. Buzz promises Jenna that 
she won't have to leave with Jeffrey. Jenna suddenly gets an idea. She 
says she's going to have to change her clothes.

LUCERNE: Michael & Vanessa toss a ball back & forth. He has her squeeze 
one of those squishy things that molds to whatever shape you squish it 
into. Vanessa mentions meeting Robert on the Internet. Michael warns her 
that you can't trust anything about anyone you meet on-line. Robert 
could really be Roberta, for instance. Vanessa says she's been having a 
good time & she doesn't want to get paranoid. Michael says she should 
just have fun with it & not try to figure out who this person is, 
because in real life, he may not live up to her expectations. Vanessa 
says she's not looking for a soulmate, just someone to talk to.

REARDON HOUSE: Josh says it's hard to know what the right thing is. He 
walked away from his pregnant wife because he was suffocating & couldn't 
keep pretending. It wasn't good for anybody. Matt asks if the kids are 
OK. Josh says they're naturally confused. Matt notes that kids are 
smart. Josh says Marah certainly is; she figured out what was going on. 
She tries to be grown up, but it must be eating her up inside. And poor 
Shayne loves Annie so much. But when he made the break, it was like a 
weight was lifted off his shoulders. He just hopes that Annie won't do 
anything to hurt the baby. Matt figures it must be tough for Josh to 
leave the baby. He doesn't know what else to do.

LEWIS HOUSE: Alan says he's come by for a therapy session. Reva thought 
Annie had quit her job with Alan. Annie says Alan was very persuasive. 
Reva thinks Alan looks all better, but he says he still needs Annie. 
Reva thinks they need each other. They're two of a kind. Alan says 
Annie's not feeling well, and that's why he came over to her place. Reva 
asks if there's a problem with the baby. Annie insists that she's fine & 
that Alan was talking about his orthopedist before, not her doctor. Reva 
can't figure out why Alan still needs Annie's help. Alan says it's none 
of Reva's business. Reva thinks it might be. She suggests that maybe 
Alan would like to be filled in on some sisterly dirt. Annie tries to 
get Reva to leave, but Reva's not going anywhere. Reva starts making 
insinuations about all the time Annie & Alan have spent together. She 
tells Alan she suspects him of staking Annie in her mission to make Reva 
think they were sisters.

Annie cries on her own while Reva & Alan face off. She asks Alan if he's 
proud of the way he got back at her by striking where he knew it would 
hurt most--her family. Alan says he's been over her for a long time & 
claims to have known nothing about Annie & Reva being sisters. Reva's 
not buying. Annie & Alan play off each other, accusing Reva of being 
paranoid & imagining conspiracies. How would either one of them have 
known Reva was looking for her sister? Reva doesn't know, but she knows 
they found out & turned her promise to her mother into a joke. Reva 
knows Annie would have done anything to hold onto Josh.

REARDON HOUSE: Josh wants to clear his head, take the kids away 
someplace for a little while so they can get settled down. Matt suggests 
Cross Creek, but Josh knows that's the first place Annie would look for 
them. Josh goes upstairs to pack their stuff so they can get out of 
Matt's hair. Matt says they're welcome anytime. Matt heads over to his 
PC.

LUCERNE: Vanessa thanks Michael for his patience with her. He says she's 
his star pupil. Vanessa says she used to be so confident. Michael says 
they've had a good workout & Van should get some rest. After he leaves, 
Van wheels over to her laptop.

LEWIS HOUSE: Alan warns Reva not to upset Annie. She wouldn't want 
anything to happen to Josh's child. Reva says Annie is pathetic & Alan 
is beyond description. Reva doesn't care if they won't confirm her 
suspicions, because once she tells Josh what they've done, Annie will 
have no chance of holding onto Josh. Reva leaves & Annie doubles over in 
pain again & Alan rushes to her side. She cries that they have to stop 
Reva from going to Josh.

REARDON HOUSE: Josh returns after packing the kids' stuff. He still 
hasn't figured out where to take the kids, but he has a few ideas. He 
sees that Matt's working on the computer & asks if he's surfing the net. 
Matt says he's doing work on the hospital construction project. Josh 
promises to call when he & the kids get where they're going, then heads 
out. Matt returns to the PC.

LUCERNE/SPRINGFIELD: "Tess" finds her way back to the poetry chat room. 
Coincidentally, "Robert" has also just logged on. They do the split-
screen thing so it looks like Matt & Van are facing each other across a 
table & talking. Van says she tried to find him earlier, but had no 
luck. Matt says he had a hectic day. He mentions that his niece & nephew 
camped out last night. Van says she has nieces & nephews too, but she 
doesn't get to see them much. She asks what the kids' names are. Matt's 
not sure he should tell her. It would be breaking the rules to talk 
about his personal life. She might find out who he really is. What would 
be so terrible about that? she asks.

THRIFT SHOP: Buzz & Jenna joke & laugh as they sift through racks in 
what is either the hospital's Auxiliary thrift shop, or a local Junior 
League shop. The clothes are the cast-offs of Springfield society, & 
some of the garments have only been worn once, or not at all. They pull 
out a few items for Jenna to try on. Buzz asks how long it will take. 
She says it depends on how fast he can undress her. He's tempted, but 
they're in a bit of a time crunch, so he takes a raincheck. Jenna 
doesn't like the thought of wearing clothes that have been on other 
people's bodies. Buzz tells her to get used to it, because he & Coop are 
counting on her.

Jenna models various outfits, but none of them is quite right. Buzz 
hands her something else to try on.

SOMEWHERE IN CYBERSPACE: Vanessa guesses that the kids are named Bonnie 
& Clyde. Matt laughs & says she's not even close. She tries Nancy & 
Sluggo. Matt says that's it. He asks what her kids' names are. How did 
he know she had kids? He just guessed, since she said she was married. 
She says that would be breaking the rules. Matt's doorbell rings, so he 
says he has to sign off.

REARDON HOUSE: Reva comes by, looking for Josh, but finds out he's not 
there. She asks Matt to have Josh call her ASAP. It's very important.

LEWIS HOUSE: Alan is worried about Annie. He thinks she should see a 
doctor & worry about Josh later. Annie says she's fine. She has the name 
of an out-of-town doctor from Fran, Dr. Levine, and she promises to go 
see him if it gets worse. But the pain passed before, & she's sure it 
will again. She calls Matt's house & asks for Josh. Matt tells her that 
Josh & the kids went away with the kids for awhile, but he doesn't know 
where. Annie asks if they were with anyone else. Matt says no. She asks 
him to have Josh call her if when hears from him.

REARDON HOUSE: Reva has a good guess as to who just called.

THRIFT SHOP: Buzz says if the latest outfit doesn't work, they could try 
a dry-cleaner friend of his, or maybe a woman Eleni knows who runs a 
boutique. Never mind that they have no dough. It's a non-issue, since 
the last outfit is perfect, of course. It's a little black dress, 
showing much cleavage & leg. Buzz drags Jenna out of the store. 

REARDON HOUSE: Matt invites Reva to tell him what's going on. She says 
he'd never believe it. She asks him to have Josh call her, and then she 
leaves. Matt turns off the PC and picks up an old book. 

LUCERNE: Vanessa looks at her photos of Bill & Matt. She thinks it's 
nice to have a new friend, but she misses Matt.

REVA'S HOUSE: Josh bangs on the door & yells, but Reva's not home. He 
wants to tell her everything that's happened. He yells that he left 
Annie.

LEWIS HOUSE: Annie can't believe Reva's found them out. Alan says she 
doesn't know anything for sure. Annie says Reva may not have proof that 
Alan's involved, but she definitely knows Annie's not her sister, and 
she's going to tell Josh. Alan says they have time, since Josh is going 
out of town. No one else will believe Reva. Annie worries that the trail 
they laid could lead back to them. Alan says all the people who talked 
to Reva works for Alan or his operatives. They will all disappear, never 
to be found. Annie shwears to shtop Reva, even if it means killing her. 
Suddenly, she cries out in extreme pain. Alan lifts her up & she asks 
him to promise that he won't let anything happen to her or her baby. He 
promises and carries her off as the screen fades to black.

THE SHED AT MATT'S HOUSE - Dinah and Hart are unhappy about being locked in
the shed by Matt.  Dinah is yelling for Matt to come get them out. She can
hear a noise and knows he is out there.  Hart informs her that the noise is
the sprinkler system.  He says they are stuck there to figure out whether
they belong together or not.

ROSS'S OFFICE - Ross is bent over picking up papers when someone in a slinky
black dress shows up.  All we see is legs, then waist, then chest, then all
that frizzy hair slightly pulled back with one of those little bitty
barrettes.  (not her best look).  Anyway, just as Amanda starts to explain
why she is there her cell phone rings.  She says she is tired to dealing
with people and gets Ross to answer it.  Well gee, guess who is on the other
end - Roger.  Rog says Amanda told him to call her and Ross quickly figures
out that she is using him.

CEDAR'S - Blake and Lillian are dealing with insurance forms that Blake
needs to fill out and chatting about Ross.  Reva walks up and interrupts.
She tells Lillian she is looking for Fran.  Blake looks a little nervous.

SPAULDING - Alan is telling Annie that the doctor's visit was "quite a
scare" and asks if Annie is okay.  Annie, meanwhile, is having a flashback
to the truth - the doctor telling her she lost the baby.  Alan thinks she
should go to Cedars just to be sure everything is okay.  Annie says "NO!"

CEDAR'S - Blake is having a flashback of her own about a discussion w/Annie
and her artificial insemination.  Lillian goes to find Fran for Reva.  Reva
starts questioning Blake about Annie and how they are friends.  Blake senses
what this is about and tries to get away from Reva.  Reva makes Blake relive
what she said about staying away from Annie and Josh.  Reva says she needs
Blake's help sorting some things out.

SPAULDING - Annie tells Alan that it isn't necessary for them to go to
Cedars - everything is okay.  Alan doesn't believe her.  He tries to make
her face reality by telling her "Josh is through with you."  Annie says she
refuses to give up.  She knows she is the one for Josh.  "Reva Shayne is
poison."  She says when Josh comes back from his trip with the kids, she
will be the first woman he sees and things will be okay.  Alan says he sees
a woman who is too much in love for her own well being.  Annie says "I am
never going to give up.  Never" and then she passes out.

CEDAR'S - Blake tries to convince Reva that she isn't all that friendly
w/Annie anymore.  Reva is surprised, but continues to ask Blake if Annie
said anything to her about Reva.  Blake tries to blow her off and leave
again, but Reva says "there is something you are not telling me."

ROSS'S OFFICE - Ross tells Amanda not to use him to make Roger jealous.  He
says just because she gave him a ride the other day, it doesn't make them
friends.  Amanda says fine, then be her lawyer.  She needs help getting
married.  Ross says, "Look in the yellow pages under M for minister."  Mandy
says no, legal matters.

THE SHED - Dinah tells Hart there was a time when she thought they could be
together.  Hart says him too.  Dinah says "then one day you weren't so
thrilled with me anymore."  Hart says "are you kidding?  There were days
when I only got out of bed in the morning because of you."  Dinah then
wonders why things became so different when the Eurofriends showed up.  Hart
says everything he did he did for her.  She says "Oh, and everything I did I
did for me, right?"  She says it is useless.  Hart says Matt was right.
They are going to stay there until they figure it out.  "I want to know if
you still love me," he says.  Dinah says she doesn't want to talk about
love.  It didn't help them before.  They are both mad now and he heads to
one side of the shed to fix the lawn mower while she wanders to the other
side and finds a trunk full of old stuff.  She finds some love letters to
Van from Matt and she reads one.  The letter is very sweet.  When she is
finished Hart says he knows what Matt means.  He could have written the same
words about the two of them.  He loves Dinah.

SPAULDING - Alan continues about seeing a doctor since she fainted.  Annie
blows it off to being worked up about Josh.  Alan is amazed at how much she
loves him.  Annie says she just wishes Josh felt the same way.  "Is that too
much to ask?"  Alan says if Josh doesn't come around then he is a fool.

CEDAR'S - Reva is still pressing Blake about Annie info.  Lillian interrupts
about the forms.  Blake has another flashback of Annie making Blake promise
not to say anything.  Lillian asks if she is okay.  Blake says is about Ross
and skirts off.  Lillian tells Reva that Fran is away for a few days on one
of those spa vacations.  She goes on to tell Reva that Fran went with one of
her friends from the clinic.  Reva - "the clinic?"  Lil says Fran's former
job was at a fertility clinic.

ROSS'S OFFICE - Ross says no way to being Amanda's attorney.  Besides he
wants to get away from domestic cases.  He would just love another murder
case.  He goes on to discuss how he would love to regain the D.A.'s
position, but he doesn't have a chance thanks to Blake.  Amanda wonders why
Blake's mistake should affect anything.  Ross agrees that Blake made a big
mistake, "but I'm responsible for some of it, and so are you!"

THE SHED - Hart says that Matt and Vanessa really shared something special
and so did they.  He then finds an old radio which happens to play old
music.  He holds out his hand for a dance and Dinah takes it.

ROSS'S OFFICE - Ross tells Amanda what Blake has been telling him for months
- that Blake saw them kissing and therefore assumed that there was something
more going on and that's what led her to get drunk, etc. etc.  Amanda still
says it isn't fair that his career suffer because of Blake.  She mentions
that she knows the DA and could call him.  Ross says, "NO!  Don't do me any
favors.  The less you are involved the better."  Amanda says "what do I look
like, Typhoid Mary?"  Ross says "well..."  and they both laugh.  Meanwhile
Blake is entering the building and practicing what she is going to say to
Ross.  Then she overhears Ross and Amanda chatting.  Suddenly Ross's office
door opens and there are surprised looks all around.  Blake misinterprets
and Amanda takes advantage of it.  Amanda tells Ross, "Don't forget my
cocktail party?"  Ross says "What cocktail party?"  She tells them both
about it and says they shouldn't miss it.

CEDAR'S - Reva is now pressing Lillian about the fertility clinic.  "Do they
have a sperm bank?"  Lillian says she would assume so and then starts to
wonder why Reva wants to know.  Reva assures her it is for someone else,
then asks Lillian if she knows where the clinic is.  (Well of course she
does).  Lil tells her and she heads out.

THE SHED - Dinah and Hart are still dancing to (I think) '50s music and Hart
asks her if she wants to go to the malt shop.  Dinah says "what malt shop?"
He asks again and then she gets it.  They continue goofing about going
steady, him giving her his ring etc. etc.  Then Hart makes some comment
about going to Lookout Mountain to make out and Dinah says she's not that
kind of girl.  Hart says "I know, you're my kind of girl."  They kiss and he
tells her how much he has missed her and how much he loves her.  Dinah
starts to say something but Hart stops her and says "Don't talk.  Every time
you say something we get into trouble."  More kisses.

SPAULDING - Alan/Annie comment on how their roles are now reversed - him
helping her now.  Alan has his hands on her shoulders when Amanda walks in.
Alan and Annie quickly jump away from each other and tell Amanda they were
just talking about Alan's condition.  Amanda says Annie needs to think about
her own condition because she doesn't look good.  Then she mentions her
cocktail party.  She tells Alan he is invited and can even invite his own
friends.  Alan says "Well, we were going to go bungee jumping, but what the
hell."  Annie hesitates until Amanda mentions that she is sure Josh will be
there on behalf of Lewis Oil.  Amanda leaves and Alan starts to head out to
get Annie some tea.  Annie gives him a thank-you kiss on the cheek.  After
Alan leaves Annie starts talking to herself.  She says "If I lost this baby
because of Reva Shayne, this could be to my advantage."

THE SHED - Dinah and Hart continue being lovey dovey.  Dinah apologizes to
Hart saying she didn't mean to take Bridget's side over his.  He ignores her
and kisses her neck.  Dinah says "are you sure we shouldn't talk?"  Hart
says "positive" and they start to undress each other.

ROSS'S - Ross asks Blake why she is there.  She says "Does it matter?"  She
is really peeved about him being cozy w/Amanda.  Ross says he already heard
this story from Holly after his lunch with Amanda the other day.  Blake says
"YOU HAD LUNCH WITH HER?"  Ross says, "well, I do eat."  Blake storms out
while Ross tries to stop her unsuccessfully.

ANOTHER PART OF SPAULDING ? - Amanda is on the phone with the current D.A.
She invites him to her cocktail party and then puts in a good word for Ross.

SPAULDING - Annie is pacing and thinking to herself.  (the psycho wheels are
turning).  Then she heads over and picks up the phone.

FERTILITY CLINIC - Reva walks in and tries to pretend she needs to pick up
her sister's charts.  The fertility clinic lady tells her they can't give
out info to anyone other than patients.  Reva keeps trying but has no luck.
Then her cell phone rings and guess who.  Annie says she needs to talk to
her.  Meet at her (Annie's) place.

End of show for this Monday.

Heather
