Guiding Light Update for Wednesday June 4th
By Rhonda

JENNA AT THE BEACH:
Jenna is pondering her conversation with Jeffrey and  has decided her
only recourse, is to kill Jeffrey. She envisions a scene where she
pulls a gun on Jeffrey and tells him she will shoot him. In public,
Jenna? he asks. He reminds her that she will be behind bars and away
from Buzz OR Buzz will be a suspect, and with her beloved behind bars,
how will they ever be together?? The vision fades and Jenna decides she
must do the dirty deed far away from Buzz, far away from Springfield.

THE DINER :
Harley has learned that Jenna called in sick @ Cedar's but she covers
for Jenna and tells Buzz they will meet some other day for lunch. But
now, Harley is more suspicious than ever of Jenna and her activities.
Frank---being on suspension---has been given a 'honey-do' list from
Eleni and he heads out to do Diner repairs.

MATT:
Matt has visited Vanessa's grave site and begins wondering aloud:
"What's going on? Are you alive? Are you Tess?" He states that he
cannot continue like this--" I'm living...but I don't feel alive."
He questions his sanity in even considering the possibility of Vanessa
being alive but deep down inside, maybe he has known this all along. He
asks Vanessa to tell him one way or another--- so he can either let go
of her or find her---no matter how long it takes.

VANESSA/MICHAEL:
Vanessa is busy working out her muscles,discussing w/ Michael the
urgency she feels for getting well so that she can return home. Vanessa
is convinced that she transferred her feelings for Matt onto
Robert---that's all it was. "Well, tell that to your smashed computer"
Michael says and Vanessa offers an apology--" I shouldn't have done
that". She explains that she was beginning to feel very uncomfortable
with the direction her relationship with Robert was taking and that she
will never go back into cyber space again. Michael offers to fix the
computer, but she declines the offer. She has decided that she is going
home to her family and Matt---she is desperately homesick. Michael
offers do to something about that to which she replies, " I put myself
completely in your hands----whatever you want, I will do it---I just
want to get home."

THE TRIAL:
Rick is concluding his testimony and answers Ross that --Yes--he is
absolutely certain he saw Reva push Annie down the stairs. Griffin
crosses by asking Rick the age and the condition of the fetus at the
time of the miscarriage. He says that the baby was small for it's age,
but that could be due to a variety of factors. Also, that the fetus had
suffered serious trauma during the expulsion, so it was difficult to
accurately determine its true condition. When Griffin presses for more
details about the cause of death, Rick is forced to reveal that an
autopsy was not done because the fetal remains were missing. Griffin
questions :" How can you swear, under oath, that Annie Lewis's baby
died solely as a result of the fall?" " Truth is", Rick says, " I can't
swear the fall is what killed Annie Lewis's baby." Annie panics with
this and Ross is forced to re-direct---" Dr. Bauer, was it  * possible*
that this fall could have killed the baby?" Rick answers -- "yes--that
fall could have killed her unborn child."
Next to the stand is Dr. Kumar. Annie again panics upon his approach
but is distracted by the news that someone has requested to see her in
the hallway.

THE COURTHOUSE HALLWAY : ( where many things happen and no reporter
ever sees it)

It's FRAN !!! She has come armed with the medical records from Dr.
Kumars office and is demanding her money. How Much? How Much? Annie
demands but Fran is too cool for this----she wants to see Annie
squirm---she hasn't decided how much---she will let her know later. In
the meantime, she takes great pleasure in threatening to go to Josh
with all that she knows. Annie grabs Fran's arms, disallowing her to
leave so Fran threatens to scream! " I wouldn't do that if I were you"
Alan says as he  appears behind Fran. He offers $$$$ but Fran rejects
him, too, and instead gives him her phone number----he is to call and
she will let him know how much *cash* to bring.

SOME MORE TRIAL:

Dr Kumar is on the stand and is explaining to Ross that as far as he
remembers, Annie was having a normal pregnancy. He remembers above
normal BP and a corpus luteum cyst, but neither of these conditions
were a sign of danger. Ross questions him about the age of the fetus
and Kumar is forced to reveal that he cannot be sure----the medical
records are missing---and without them, he cannot be accurate. Ross is
reeled by this news and calls for a recess but it is denied. He is
forced to continue. Griffin crosses by questioning Kumar about his busy
practice and with so many patients, can't he be confused at times?
Kumar responds" Yes, it can be overwhelming at times....I am but one
man, serving the needs of many women." (tee hee) Ross re-directs by
asking if Reva ever came to his office? He admits --yes-- she came in
disguise, disrupted his office, asked questions about Mrs. Lewis and
*attacked* a woman who had come to apply for a job. Ross: " Do you
think that it is possible that Reva Shayne stole the Lewis medical
record?" Kumar : " Absolutely!" Reva jumps to her feet and says,
" that's a lie ! Annie had those records stolen to cover up her lies!"
Griffin blasts Reva for her outburst and she must apologize to the
judge. Kumar is excused and court is recessed....

THE DINER:
Matt has joined Frank in helping with repairs and begins to question
him about Vanessa's crash  Frank is reluctant to discuss the
details---not wanting to open old wounds---but Matt insists. Frank then
reveals that  no part of Vanessa's body was ever recovered---only her
wedding rings and the prints on the steering wheel. Frank tells Matt to
drop it---" this isn't a case of someone faking their own death to
escape the authorities!" Matt flinches slightly and thanks Frank, who
leaves for the kitchen. Matt says aloud:" Vanessa knew she was
leaving....I've got to find her!"
Jenna arrives at the Diner and asks Eleni if Coop can stay with her and
Frank for a day or two---she has some business to attend to. Eleni
agrees but Harley pops up and having overheard, demands to know what
Jenna is up to. " None of your business" is Jenna's reply ! " I warned
you not to hurt my father, Jenna" Harley says as they proceed to a
booth for a tete-a-tete. Harley lets Jenna know about her calling in
sick and she's going to tell her father. Jenna becomes defensive and
dares Harley to go to Buzz---tell him everything! " Go ahead---I dare
you!" Harley backs off but lets Jenna know that she will be keeping her
eye on Jenna. About this time, Buzz enters and they both quickly cover
and explain they were discussing lunch plans. After Harley leaves,
Jenna tells Buzz that she has decided to spend the night at the Diner
with Coop. He reluctantly agrees....

BACK IN THE COURT HOUSE HALLWAY:

Abbie and Rick speak and he apologizes for what he had to testify. She
is understanding and admits she is fearful, too, that her testimony may
be damaging as well . Blake talks to Roger and expresses her concern
about keeping the truth hidden. Roger assures her that she is doing the
right thing---the truth is going to come out anyway---and why risk her
marriage? Holly walks up and declares, " By all means, follow Daddy's
advice. His complete disregard for the truth and for people, have made
him the successful family man that he is today!"
Josh tells Billy that he is about to explode----how can he testify
against Reva???

THE TRIAL RESUMES :

Amanda testifies that Reva "crashed" her party. Griffin forces her to
admit the *real* reason behind the party and that was to announce
Ross's appt. as DA. She then apologizes to everyone, claiming she feels
responsible for what has happened----if she had not been trying to
impress certain people, she never would have had the party, Annie never
would have fallen, and all this tragedy could have been avoided. As
Amanda is dismissed, Alan leans up from behind Annie and assures her
that she has nothing to worry about in regard to Fran----he will handle
everything. He rises to leave when Ross calls him to the stand.......
