Guiding Light Update for Wednesday June 19, 1996
Here goes, lots of hugging going on in Springfield today!


Company:
Frank storms in looking for Dahlia, fearful she's run away.
Marcus tells him she is upstairs in his room.
Frank grabs Marcus by the shoulders.

Cedars:
Ross tries to reassure a worried Blake before her follow-up sonogram.
Ross tells Dr. Sedgewick he is excited about seeing his sons for the
first time.

Spaulding Mansion:
Proud papa Phillip shows off Lizzy's picture to Alex who proclaims
their is an artist in the family and says that Lizzy misses her daddy. 
Phillip says Beth and Lizzy are probably so busy they don't even know
he is gone.  Alex asks if Beth understands why he is back in
Springfield.  Phillip says Beth understands everything.  Alex suggests
he must have a reason for being away from them for so long.  Phillip
says if he wasn't surrounded by such wonderful family, it'd be killing
him.  (Think he's being sarcastic?)  Alex answers the phone.  Beth
wants to talk to Phillip.

Docks:
Label on a box reads "Mr. & Mrs. A. Spaulding."
A.M. has covered Lucy's eyes until they reach the dock and see the good
as new "Rising Star" ready to set sail.
Lucy has decided that bathtub and shower water or fine with her.  A.M.
reminds her their are plenty of both aboard the yacht.  A.M. breaks it
to his bride that they are technically homeless so he thought they
could stay at they yacht until they found a home they both loved.  He
asks her if she can live on a star.
Background-
Shadow then we see the man with the silver bracelet (we see only his
arm) is watching them

Roll lighthouse.

Spaulding Mansion:
Alex insists that Philip take the call in the study, she was just
leaving anyway, saying his family really does miss him on the way out.
Philip makes sure no one is outside eavesdropping (imagine, the
Spauldings!!) and shuts the door.  He tells Beth he was going to call
her that afternoon.  Says he misses her and apologizes that Lillian
keeps calling and asking questions.  Philip tells her he's not angry
but she knows why he is there and what he is trying to do.  (Alex
sneaks up the secret passageway to eavesdrop).
Philip asks Beth to come to Springfield.  Disappointed, he says he
doesn't know what to tell her.  He isn't leaving until he's done what
he came there to do.

Docks:
Stranger still watching.
A.M. says he knows the house she wants and they talk of
Cooper-Spaulding children playing tag in the yard, but it'll take time.
 Lucy suggests they stay at Frank & Eleni's? or Buzz and Reva's? or
maybe a hotel.  A.M. knows she wouldn't be happy there.  The Rising
Star has everything they need.  Lucy says she almost lost him on that
yacht.  A.M. says a lot happened before the storm.  They WERE on their
honeymoon.  They got through one storm only to come back to another
with their dueling dads.  He wants to get back to some of what they had
on their honeymoon.  Lucy gives in saying all she needs is him.

Company:
Nola breaks in to save Marcus from Frank.  Nola tells Frank Marcus save
Dahlia.  Frank wants to know from what.  Marcus says rape.

Frank, frantic, asks Marcus if he's telling him she was raped.  Marcus
says the guy tried.  Nola and Marcus go into the story.  Frank wants
details.  Marcus tells him it was a bar.  Frank protests and says
Dahlia isn't old enough to drink, she wouldn't do something like this. 
Nola says she wasn't dressed like a good kid when she went into this
bar.  Marcus interrupts with the fact that details aren't important.   
There is no telling what she was thinking.  Frank feels as if he's
missing something.  Marcus informs Frank Dahlia didn't go there to
drink.  She went to look at her mom's favorite hangout, dressed like
her too.Marcus tells Frank by the time she got there and was scared
some guy hustled her out and he showed up.  Frank reminds Marcus he is
no hero.  It happened because of him.  She'd never have gone in that
bar if he hadn't opened his mouth.  Marcus says Frank is right.  He
made a mistake and he's sorry.  Frank suggests that maybe it's too late
for that.

Cedars:
Ed needs an answer from Rick and Michelle.  Michelle says it is what
Eve would want him to do.  Rick says he would jump at the chance.  From
dr to dr is says do it.  From his son who is finally getting a chance
to work with his dad again, its a tougher call.  Michelle reminds them
they could email Ed in Africa.  Ed says if he knew what that was, yes.
Ed offers to call Johns-Hopkins and decline.  Rick tells him to go for
it.  Michelle says she'll miss him and it'll be weird not having him
watching over her (sniff sniff sort of stuff). Michelle says after Mo &
Eve died, she never thought Ed would go anywhere.  Michelle tells Ed he
won't lose his little girl if he lets her do what she needs to do. 
That's why she says he needs to go to Africa and do what he needs to
do.  Rick wants to know who said that.  Michelle says dad and they hug.

Sonogram pictures of Marlor (Bauer) Twins.  Everyone is oooing and
aaaing.  Dr. Sedgewick says everything is fine including the placentas.

placentas.  Blake looks frantic.

Spaulidng Mansion:
Alex walks in saying Philip had a short conversation.  Philip says he
hates to hang on the phone.  Alex says she expected him to talk to Beth
longer.  Philip mumbles something about absence making their hearts
growing fonder.  He asks Alex what she wants.  ALex says she just wants
to know how Beth & Lizzy are.  Philip says he told him they were fine. 
Alex says Lillian told her Beth had "the worst cold in history". 
Philip says Beth is tough and nothing keeps her down for long.  Philip
is quick to put down any question of a visit from Beth and or Lizzy. 
Alex slips and Philip suddenly remembers Alex's little favorite
hideaway for spying.  Alex admits it and says she isn't ashamed of it. 
She cares for Philip and his family so since he wouldn't tell her
anything, she just wants to know why, after 5 years without a peep, is
he suddenly nestling in the bosom of his family again.  Like he's
sitting around waiting for something to happen, like someone's done
something.  Philip just says he's missed his family.  Alex says if that
were all they he would have helped her keep the family together. 
Philip said he wouldn't play her henchman.  Philip offers to take Alex
to dinner.  Alex says if he doesn't tell her the truth, she'll call
Beth.  Philip hangs up the phone and tells Alex that he was set up by
Neil 5 years ago for the Towers bombing and someone paid for it.  He's
there to find out who it was.

twins.  She wants to see Blake without a hovering Ross.  Blake
apologizes for getting the doctor caught up in her lies.  Dr. Sedgewick
wants to know how Ross got the idea that the twins were identical.  She
realizes BLake hasn't told Ross everything.  She says in a couple of
months EVERYONE will know the boys aren't identical.  Dr. Sedgewick
asks Blake not to put her in a position to lie for her again.  BLake
says she won't and if she'd like, she'll go to another doctor.  Dr.
Sedgewick says it won't change the facts.  Nothing short of a miracle
coudl make her boys look alike.

can't ask her not to cry.  He tells Rick to keep an eye on her. 
Michelle is off to read to an old man who broke his glasses.  Michelle
may actually be enjoying her summer job after all.  Rick and Ed agree
to keep each other informed.  Rick realizes being apart from his dad is
different this time because he always knew Ed would be there.  Ed says
Rick'll make a great father one day and his son will be very lucky. 
Rick says not as lucky as he was.

Ross comes in and Ed tells him he's taking the job in Africa.  Ross
says he'll miss him.  Ross calls in Blake as she passes by. She
suddenly feels the babies move.

Philip and suddenly remembers a meeting.

doorstep next time.
Dahlia enters and says she doesn't blame Frank ,she wouldn't want her
around either.
