Guiding Light Update for Wednesday, April 1st, 1998

Josh, clone Reva, and Cassie are in Michael's apartment
and Cassie and clone Reva are arguing as Cassie tells
her to go put on some clothes.  Clone Reva is wearing
a little nightie type outfit.  Josh finally joins in
and tells her to go get dressed.  While she does as
he says, Cassie is about to cry and tells Josh is only
going along with this because of Marah and Shayne. She
tells Josh that he and Michael should have never played
God and what they did by creating another Reva is/was
wrong.  But, for her sister's sake and her sister's
children's sake, she will help Josh make this clone into
the adult Reva.  The first step is to take her to the
house while the children are in school and let her see
where Reva lived and see her bedroom, pictures, clothes, etc.

The judge rules in favor of Ben yet again.  Ross was trying
to get a ruling so Abby could stay in the local jail where
it wouldn't be so hard on her to do her sentence.  Ben
argued that she committed murder and that is a serious
crime in which is already serving the least amount of time
she can possibly serve and she should stay in the state
prison.  The judge agrees and Ross once again has lost
to his evil brother. Ben and Ross talk afterwards in the
hall and Ross asks what Abby did to Ben to make him so
vendictive.  He says it wasn't Abby and that is actually
feels sorry for her but this is one way to get back at
his brother and anything he can do to beat or Ross he
will do.  Ross leaves in a huff.

Blake shows up at the courthouse just as Ross has left.
She runs into Ben who tells her she just missed her husband
if that is who she was looking for.  She says she wasn't, she
wanted to see Ben and tells him to "let's go to your place".
Ben is intrigued and follows her out.

Ross shows up at Holly's and wants to know where Blake is.
Holly tells him she doesn't know that she went on some errands.
She tells Ross about offering to give Blake a PR job in
St. Louis for a merger she and Fletcher were working on and
adds "that I'm now working on bymyself".  She tells Ross to
go with Blake.  He says he would love to because he knows
he has neglected Blake and the boys since Abby's case. Holly
says all the more reason to go with her.  She tells him that
she will take the boys while they are away and that will
give her something to do to keep her mind off Fletcher and
Meg.  Ross says St. Louis isn't very romantic and Holly says
to take Blake anywhere like Paris which Blake dearly loves.
Holly tells him she can get someone else to do the PR job.
She tells Ross to do this before something comes between
he and Blake.  He tells Holly that Ben is trying.  Holly
is shocked that Ross knows this but doesn't let on that
she knows anything about it.  Ross tells her about Blake
going to Ben's hotel room to try and get the tape to save
Abby but didn't succeed.  Ross tells her that Ben is after
him and wants to destroy him and is just beginning to try
and get to him.  Holly talks him into going to Paris with
Blake and Ross goes off to make reservations.

Back at the hotel room, Blake and Ben are talking and
he thinks she is there to pay up on the bet.  She isn't
but lets him touch her face and neck softly.  She tells
him she just wants to talk and wants to be honest with
each other.  He isn't too happy about this but agrees
to talk some.  (I hate to say it because I like Ross
and Blake but this scene was really good between them
and Ben and Blake had a good chemisty/passion). Blake
asks him if he likes seeing Abby in jail and he says
no but she did committ murder and he does feel that
was wrong.  He continues to talk to Blake openly
and she tells him she is leaving town.  He wants to
know if it is because of him and she says yes that
she doesn't trust herself with him anymore and that
she is married and loves her husband and will leave
town to save her marriage.  Ben asks her for how
long and she says she will stay away as long as it
takes to get him out of her system.  He says he won't
work that he is getting to her and can't turn that off.
He begs her not to go and leans into her and looks
in her eyes seductively.  Blake is moved and they
almost kiss but she pulls away.  She asks him wouldn't
he rather have her make love to him because she wanted
to instead of having to.  Blake asks him wouldn't he
rather see a different look in her eyes, a look of
want and passion and even a look of....she stops and
Ben finishes for her....love.  She says well, yes.
The love word got to Ben for some reason and he walks
over to his safe and gives Blake the tape to save
Abby.  She is in shock and can't believe it.  But,
Ben tells her to go save Abby.  The look in Blake's
eyes is a look of gratitude and has softened a good
deal.  Ben is moved and tells her to leave and safe
Abby but asks her not to leave town.  Blake leaves
thrilled that she can now save Abby and says to herself
that now she really will have to leave town.

The real Reva is on the island looking for the
stanger she met.  She runs into him while he is
fishing.  He offers her some fish but she refuses.
She says she has plenty to eat with mangoes and
papayas.  He tells her she will get sick only
eating fruit and she needs to take the fish.  She
wants to know if anyone is looking for him and
how he wound up on the island.  He tells her no
one is looking for him and that is on the island
by choice.  He came to the island on a big boat
and then sunk it off the island. Reva can't believe
this and is furious he sunk the only way off the
island.  He tells her she is stuck there and she
says no she isn't she is going to build a raft
out of the torn up dingy she found and float
out to where the cruise ships come so they will
see her.  He tells her she can't build a raft
out of that old boat.  He tells her not to expect
the cruise ships to see her either that they
can't see on the island from where they come
and she will never get far enough out to get
close to them.  She tells him in Reva fashion
to just watch her.  If she wants off that
crummy island, she will get off.

Back at the Lewis house, Cassie and Josh are showing
clone Reva the house.  Josh gets upset when she
picks up a picture of Sarah.  Clone Reva goes upstairs
to see the children's bedroom and her/Josh bedroom
which Reva decorated.  Cassie tells Josh if this
girl is going to be Reva they have to let her touch
and get into Reva's life/heart.  Josh says it is
hard and he doesn't think he will get through it
but Cassie says they will for Marah and Shayne.
Clone Reva comes back downstairs and she and
Cassie have an argument where she tells Cassie she
needs to move out and get her own place.  Cassie
tells her to back off she isn't going anywhere that
she and Reva were sisters and were getting to know
each other since they didn't grow up togther.  Clone
Reva says this house and Josh are hers now and
Cassie can leave.  They argue some more and Josh
steps in and tells clone Reva that Cassies stays and
end of discussion.  Clone Reva walks out.  Cassie
and Josh talk and calm down some and then clone Reva
comes back in and agrees to try with Cassie.  She
asks Cassie to teach her to dance since Reva loved
dancing.  She and Cassie get up and start dancing.

At the end of the show, Dinah and Hart come up to
the door because Dinah wants to tell Cassie that
her ex husband is now working for her although she
had nothing to do with it.  She told Hart her
assistant hired him while she was at the hospital
with Vanessa and Maureen.  Dinah is worried Cassie
will blame her for giving him a job (yeah right).
Anyway, they walk up to the house and Dinah looks
in windows as Hart wonders why Cassie is home
and not at work.  Dinah says, she doesn't know but
some blonde girl is in the house with her too.

That's all.....
