Guiding Light Update Wed 6/10/98
By Patricia Kelly

 Phil and Alan have their typical Spaulding argument.  Alan thinks that Phil
is doing the right thing by trying to put his family back together.  Phil
wants Alan to stay out of his life.  (Someone really needs to write these
two some new lines.  They always fight about the same stuff!!)

 Cleva wonders where Joshua had been all night because he missed their
special evening.  He tells her he was at work and that Matt will be there
any minute to do some more.  Van comes over to try and talk Cleva into
attending her Second Chances meeting.  No one has had more second chances
than her and Joshua.  Cleva doesn't want to go, but Joshua helps Van
convince her into going.  Josh just wants to get her out of the house.  Matt
comes in and Josh tells Matt about Cleva being a clone and all.  Matt
doesn't know what to believe, but he agrees to help Joshua find the real
Reva if she is still alive and in Springfield.

 Dinah goes over to Hart's to tell him that she has a doctor's appointment
and wants to know if he would like to join her.  Harts says yes because he
has some questions.  He tells Dinah he wants her to take a paternity test.
After she yells and pouts and all that, she finally says she has nothing to
hide and will take one.  Cassie comes in and tells Dinah that she and Hart
are back together and very happy.  Hart finally gets Dinah out before she
has a chance to tell Cassie the news.  As she is standing on the porch,
Dinah curses Matt for putting that idea into Hart's head and now she has to
figure out a way to fake a paternity test.

 Van and Cleva show up at the meeting, and Van goes to see Alan leaving
Cleva with Abby who is wondering why Reva is being so distant.  Abby asks if
she is made at her, and Cleva snaps that she has a lot going on.  She calls
Abby deaf to her face (something Reva NEVER would have done) and hurts her
feelings.  She apologizes and says that she has a headache and for Abby to
call her and they will do lunch and a movie.  Alan caught the tail end of
the conversation and follows Cleva out.  He asks her if everything is
alright and Cleva says that everyone is just expecting too much from her.
Alan says that anytime she wants to complain about Joshua that he is willing
to listen. Cleva is relieved to find someone that doesn't think Joshua is
perfect and tells Alan she will remember that.  The look on Alan's face as
Cleva leaves, tells us that he suspects something is up with Reva.

 Vicki tells Alan that she wants to be a part of something big and that she
wants respect and power and that is why she is helping Alan with spying on
Michael.

 Dinah comes over to find out if Van knows where Matt is.  They argue and it
ends with Dinah's typical spouting off about how bad a mother Van was and
that she plans on being a much better Mother than Van was to her.  She tells
Van and Matt to stay out of her life.
 Over some stupid sappy song ("Don't tell me the hard way that we are over,
yada yada yada....) Josh looks at a family portrait and remembers making
love to the Reva;  Philip remembers the first time that Harley cooked dinner
for him and Beth walks in; Harley remembers the evening they spent together
in their new house then lays down under the covers on her couch and cries;
Cassie comes back in with the gift for Hart that is a framed picture of them
and Hart tells her that Dinah is pregnant with his child and she slams down
the picture, breaking it.

THE END
