Guiding Light Update for Wednesday July 2nd
By Rhonda

THE BAUER HOUSE:
The police have brought Jesse to the front door and have asked
Michelle to verify if Jesse is the man who stole her wallet. She tells
the police officer that she *lost* the wallet....

BUZZ'S FIREHOUSE:
Jenna is trying to start her own fire with Buzz but he is asking
questions about Jenna and Jeffrey. She puts him off and they agree to
a post-coital chat. They begin to kiss....

MATT'S HOUSE:
Matt is sitting at the computer talking into the voice activator 
( snicker) telling Vanessa that he loves her, he is Robert, and please
come back to him. Meanwhile, Vanessa ( at a hotel)  is dreaming that
Matt comes into her room and finds her----they begin to embrace but
she stops him, questioning him about Dinah. He says, " No one can take
your place, not even your daughter....she'll understand" They are
kissing when Dinah bursts in " Mother ! How can you do this?"
Vanessa wakes calling Dinah's name. Michael enters the room 
( shirtless, I must add) and offers her comforting words.....

MATT'S HOUSE:
Dinah, who had been sleeping on the couch, wakes to see Matt at the
computer. She assures Matt that they will find Vanessa and that Van
will be glad to see them. 

HOTEL ROOM for Vanessa and Shirtless Michael:
Michael is trying to calm Vanessa down----she has seen him shirtless
and is short of breath! No, really, she is upset about the dream and
feels the dream is a warning of what will happen if she does not leave
SF. " It's the only way that I can assure that my daughter and my
husband are happy."

MICHELLE'S HOUSE:
Michelle is still trying to communicate (ha ha) to the police how she
dropped her wallet , hurt her ankle, and Jesse was just helping her.
The police officer----who is no doubt aware of Jesse's rap
sheet----doesn't believe Michelle. As she is trying to explain, Rick
walks up and immediately begins to spaz. He orders that the police
officer take Jesse off the  property but the officer asks one last
question--" When you lost your wallet, did you have any money in it?"
She answers "no" but Rick corrects her by saying he had given her $100
for her night out......Michelle stumbles over that one as she lies
that she gave the money to Dahlia, who is broke, and needed the money.
Rick then suggests that the police remove Jesse from his property and
Jesse smarts off --" What? You afraid I'm gonna rob your big fancy
house?"  Rick is furious with Michelle and demands that she stop
defending Jesse, who, given half a chance," will come back and rob us
blind."  Desperate to make a really good impression, Jesse ends his
meeting with "if I were you, I'd change your locks---I know where you
live now."

MATT AND DINAH:
They talk about their trip over coffee, anticipating finding Vanessa.
Dinah regrets that Hart is not joining them but finding Vanessa is
more important. Matt comments how far Hart and Dinah have come in
their relationship. He wants she and Hart to have what he and Vanessa
have. They begin to get ready to leave, chirping happily about the
possibility of having Van back.....

HOTEL of Vanessa and SM:
Vanessa is very frustrated that she is not able to see Matt. She tells
Michael that she knows Matt would leave Dinah and she *cannot* do that
to Dinah. Michael is interested if Van is hurt that Dinah has fallen
in love with her husband. She denies it. She asks Michael to take her
to her house to tell it goodbye...
I AM SORRY, BUT I CAN BARELY TYPE THIS STUFF---YUK !!

BUZZ AND JENNA:
A blissfully post-coital Buzz wants to know what is going on with J&J.
She doesn't want to discuss it yet----she basking----so he threatens
to go to Jeffrey. She stops him and says Jeffrey must not know about
them---" because he'll kill you." Buzz thinks this is funny until
Jenna informs him that Jeffrey was behind the hit and run accident.
She confesses that pretending to sleep with Jeffrey was the only thing
she could think of to get Buzz to leave Jeffrey and her alone. 

THE BAUER HOUSE:
Rick jumps all over Michelle for being in Point Lester. She tries to
explain that the other kids were not with her---she was alone---and
she was looking for the person who has her mom's heart. He argues that
she should not have lied to him by continuing to search for this
person. Her berates her for being irresponsible and reminds her that
whoever has this heart, has nothing in common with Maureen besides
blood and tissue. She yells that she is 18 now----"I am not a child!"
" Well, stop acting like one!" He yells. She then throws Blake and
Kevin in his face and he loses it---" That's it ! GO TO YOUR ROOM! "
Huh??? " Go to my room???" Michelle asks. Immediately Rick can't
believe that he said that as she accuses him of turning into their
Dad. They dissolve into jokes and she tells him how important this is
to her.

JESSE'S 'CRIB':
The police officer takes Jesse back to his home-sweet-home and reminds
Jesse that he needs to keep his feet clean and stay out of
trouble----he doesn't want Jesse to violate his parole. After the
officer leaves, Jesse checks his answering machine ( yeah, right) and
hears a message from his PO asking why he missed his community
service. He quickly calls the PO and tells him *part* of the story and
assures it won't happen again.

MATT AND DINAH:
They leave the house and moments later, Vanessa and Michael arrive.
Vanessa is quite moved when she enters the house, choking back tears
as she looks around the room. She notices that the picture of her
father is crooked and the pillows on the couch are misarranged. ( I'M
FEELING SICK AGAIN:) Michael comments on Matt and Vanessa's wedding
pictures and she says she hopes that Matt and Dinah's wedding will be
better. ( HURL) She finds the Lake Geneva house plans on the table
next to the computer along with a necklace or hers. She weeps........

THE FIREHOUSE:
Buzz is getting dressed to leave to pummel Jeffrey but Jenna is
stopping him with warnings about his safety. She tells him that Harley
is helping her with a scam to trap Jeffrey and that Philip got pulled
into the plot as well. She tries to assure her that she and Harley can
handle Jeffrey and she explains all about Starla Russo etc. He still
isn't convinced not to leave but as he opens the door to leave, she
calls him back, begging him to make love to her again. He closes the
door and returns to her waiting arms....

THE BAUER HOUSE:
Rick, finally realizing he can't win, agrees that Michelle should
pursue her search. She thanks him and tells him she will not be
disappointed no matter who has her mom's heart.

JESSE"S 'CRIB' :
He finishes his phone call with his PO and slams down the receiver,
kicking a few things around......

THE PLANE:
Dinah and Matt are seated on the plane, excited about their
adventure.....

MATT'S HOUSE:
Vanessa looks over the neckalce----which was a symbol of their
love---and says, " He's honored his commitment to me. Now, it's my
turn to make sure he has a chance for happiness."
She turns one last time and says, " I hope Dinah and Matt will be
happy here----just as I was."
" Goodbye house....sweet, sweet house. Take care of my family----guard
them, protect them, just as I would if I were here."
I'LL BE IN THE E.R. NOW----STOMACH POISONING !

Happy 4th everyone !
