Guiding Light Update for Monday June 9th
by Rhonda

ANNIE and JOSH:

They have returned from the trial and Annie is still reeling over the
news that the hospital has found the baby's remains.Josh explains this
is good news and finally, they can give the baby a proper burial and
get the closure they so desperately need. Annie goes into a trance as
she remembers the night she entered the Pathology Lab, found the baby's
remains in a stainless steel canister marked Lewis. She remembers that
she took the Lewis label, destroyed it and placed another label on the
canister. She rearranged the canisters and then left. As she comes out
of her trance, Josh is calling her name--"are you okay? you seemed a
million miles away."=20

MATT:

Matt and Dinah are together at the unfinished house that would have
been Matt and Vanessa's. He tells Dinah that one day he and Vanessa
will live there together because Vanessa is alive. Dinah tries to
understand, explaining that he cannot live his life with a
ghost----she, too, feels like her mom is alive---and even talks to her.
But, she knows it is not real--"that is the sad and horrible truth!"
Nope, Matt insists that Vanessa is really alive. Dinah grows more and
more frustrated---" We are connected because of our love for her and we
should be there for one another....you are going through a bad time but
I cannot help you---" She suggests that he should talk to a therapist .

BLAKE and ROSS:

They arrive at the house  to a note from the babysitter that the boys
are asleep. Blake begins to stammer that she has something to tell
Ross---but cannot find the words. "Forget words" Ross says as he
embraces her and begins to kiss her. Ross says he has to talk too---
and what he has to say cannot wait. He asks Blake to sit. He begins by
explaining that with his new position as DA and the trial, it has been
difficult going home to an empty apartment. He continues by saying that
after the anger  faded, there was only silence. " I can't live without
you...I don't want to live without you" He wants to try to make the
marriage work because now "there's nothing to stop us---no lies, no
secrets, nothing to keep us apart." He hugs her but all she can do is
go pale....

THE ( lack of) ACTION @ COMPANY:
( My apologies, but most the conversation here was filler----I will hit
the highlights only)
Roger and Holly---they discuss Blake---Holly wants her to tell the
truth, Roger says this will be damaging---they finally agree to back
off and see what happens---
Dahlia, Marcus, Bill and Michelle---Marcus and Dahlia discuss each
other's talents and their excitement over the upcoming meeting with
record producer Sugar Hill. Bill tells Michelle that he has a new heart
donor list, but Michelle is not interested----she doesn't feel the same
now that she once did.
Hart is waiting for Dinah when Amanda enters----she is there to meet
Roger. They engage in idle chit-chat about cooking, Roger, Blake, etc
Amanda finally meets up with Roger and they leave for dinner.
zzzzzzzzzzz........

ANNIE and JOSH:

Annie wants to know HOW and WHERE the hospital found their baby and
begins to insist that she should go to the hosp. and get the baby and
bring it home. Josh tells her --NO--she cannot because "that
child...that baby...is evidence. The DNA test are being performed!"
"NO!" Annie says wild-eyed, "You've got to stop it---right now!" Josh
says that the tests are necessary to prove the cause of death but Annie
says, "Josh, I dreamed of a funeral, not a dissection! Our baby is not
a science experiment!" Oh, he understand her pain but there  is no
choice. "Make some calls!" Annie suggests but Josh says it's no
use---There is a criminal trial in the process. Finally, Annie relents,
"I don;t want our baby to go through post-mortem testing....I'd rather
see Reva go free...I'll drop the whole thing."

MATT and DINAH:

He insists he is not crazy---but that he has been in communication with
Vanessa. He then reveals that he knows that Vanessa *is* Tess. "You're
saying that ...my mother...is the woman on the computer?" She tries to
remind him about the implausibility of this being true---there was a
crash---there was evidence of her death. Not enough evidence, Matt
insists PLUS Vanessa was sick before she left---there are medical
records that Nola has and is keeping from him that will prove it! " She
is alive! Don't be scared, Dinah....you're either with me or not and if
your not, you might as well leave." Dinah decides to leave but not
before warning Matt not to talk to Bill...

BLAKE and ROSS:

Blake gets up from the couch and urges Ross to allow her to talk---she
begins by saying how much she loves him and how long she has waited to
hear that he still loves her BUT.....He interrupts her again, telling
her not to worry---" I want to be a father---to both my boys....Jason
*and* Kevin....my sons." Blake is breathless over this bit of news and
begins to run out of the room---she must get air, She goes to the
bedroom and cries in turmoil....Should she tell him the truth? Now that
she is so close to having her life back? At this point, Ross enters,
approaches her and they begin to kiss. He slowly begins to undress her
as all thoughts of the truth fade from Blake....

ANNIE and JOSH:

Josh suggests to a very upset Annie that she should take a bath and he
will go to the store for some herbal tea. She agrees and goes upstairs.
Josh pretends to leave by slamming the front door but goes to hide in
the closet instead. Annie returns downstairs and makes a call to the
morgue. She asks the technician if it is possible to determine the
cause of death in a fetus through post-mortem and he replies
--yes---through tissue samples. She hangs up the phone and wails
hysterically, heading back up the stairs. Josh says aloud, " You were
right, Reva. The baby was dead before she went down the stairs."

THE FINAL POINTS:

Matt is looking at a photo of Vanessa when Dinah returns. " I want to
believe you....I want to believe that my mother is alive."

A post-coital Bloss discuss the magical event and how much they love
one another. Blake makes one last attempt to tell the truth but Ross
says..."Whatever it is, it'll have to wait." Later we see Ross
massaging Blake with oil and he asks if he can stay. " Yes...Please
stay." Blake says as they begin to kiss again....

Josh pretends to return, calls Annie and tells her that the call
actually came from a prankster---he received another phone call on his
cell phone from a reporter wanting an interview. Annie can hardly
contain her joy and relief but covers by asking who would be so cruel
to pull such a joke! She offers to comfort Josh---" Oh Honey. Are you
going to be okay?" Stroking her hair, he says, " Yes, I'm going to be
fine"...... =20
