GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE - REALFRIDAY 4/10/98

Highlights:
* Reva learns more about Sean
* Beth and Harley finalize their plan for Carl
* Josh wonders if Reva is really alive

DIVE BAR:  Cleva is living it up as Josh insists she come home.  Cleva tells Josh not to be a party-pooper and starts to tell the story of how Josh made her what she is today.  Josh and Cassie look annoyed; Cassie tells Josh to stop Cleva. The bartender tries to quiet to rowdy crowd.  Josh offers to tell everyone who and what Cleva is.

ALLEY:  Carl tells Beth to bring the money then kisses her. He walks away licking his lips and saying that should hold her until tonight.  Beth slumps to the ground, crying.  Harley comes out of her building and finds Beth.  Harley tries to find out what's going on, and asks if Beth saw Phillip - she didn't - and if Beth told Carl to come to the house.  Beth did, but Harley isn't pleased and tells her that Phillip is planning a party for Lizzie and Carl might get scared off if he shows up and finds a lot of people there. Beth wonders what they should do, and Harley says they have to find a way to stop the party.

DIVE BAR: Cleva continues to keep the crowd riled up and dares Josh to tell them who she is. Josh says she is very special, unlike anyone he has ever known. He goes on that watching Cleva become someone who loves and wants to be loved is astonishing to him.  Josh announces that he hasn't been as sensitive to Cleva as he should have been, then tells Cleva that everything that has happened is his fault, and that Cleva means more to him than he can explain.  Cleva is impressed and allows Josh to pick her up.

SOMEWHAT DESERTED ISLAND: Reva can't believe that Island dude thinks her family has forgotten her. She rants a bit about how they would never forget her, and Island Dude tells her she's still weak. Reva tries to leave, obviously too weak to walk, insisting that she's going home - ID tells her to send him a postcard.  Reva says she's leaving because she hasn't given up on life; ID says he didn't give up on life - just people.  Reva wants to know who the woman was who broke his heart, and ID tells her she is well enough to leave.  Reva tries again to walk and collapses.

ALLEY:  Harley is applying makeup to Beth's bruise, and reminding Beth that Carl is a criminal who should be locked up.  Beth says that Carl reminded her that things weren't always so bad.  Harley remembers a guy in high school that she had a crush on, and how he never paid attention to her.  Finally one night he did and offered to take Harley for a ride - she was thrilled until he pulled over and tried to attack her.  Beth wants to know what happened and Harley says she fought him off and ran away.  Harley apologetically says she knows it's the not the same as Beth's experience, Beth stops her and thanks her for sharing the story.  Harley checks out the makeup job and sends Beth on her way.

SPAULDING MANSION:  Alan, Lillian and Nettie are making party arrangements as Lizzie rushes in followed by Phillip.  Phillip tells Alan how much it means that Alan is coming to the party.  Lizzie tries on party hats and tells Lillian that she can't wait to see the "look on Mommy's face when she gets home".

SDI:  ID gives Reva some herbal concoction to drink, that will make her feel better - she'll need strength for her trans-Atlantic swim. Reva asks ID what his name is and he says it's Sean, but doesn't give his last name.  Reva introduces herself - and tries to get information about how long Sean has been on the island - 3 years. Reva tries to guess what Sean might have done in the real world: construction? Contractor? Architect? (ding, ding, ding!) Sean admits he was an architect and tells Reva to try walking again. As they try walking Reva asks more questions: did he give up a lot of family and friends? Was he married?  Sean says he was married and laughs that Reva isn't going to give up - so he tells Reva that he loved his wife.  One day Sean came home and found his wife in bed with his business partner - they had been robbing him too.  Reva agrees not to ask anymore questions and wonders if she could wash up somewhere.  He directs her to a shower out back and offers to go out and catch some fish for dinne
