Guiding Light Update for 7-16
by Rhonda

JOSH and Bra-Flashin' REVA: 
 Reva can't believe that Annie signed the divorce papers so easily but
Josh assures her that this time, Annie is on the level. Reva remains
skeptical.

ROSS and Make-My-Hottub-Bubble BLAKE:
The reunion continues for Ross and Blake, who is confused about the
fuss over her return. She tells them the story about her purse being
stolen, losing her keys and the cell phone dying, and that she
hitchhiked home. Ross professes his love for Blake, explaining that he
loves her "foibles and all" . Even Amanda welcomes Blake home as they
tell her the story of the morgue. Amanda and Roger leave on a surprise
jaunt planned by Amanda. As Ross gazes at Blake, a blackout begins....

ALAN and I'm-Still-a Trickster-ANNIE:
Glistening from the heat, Annie lights candles with Alan.and questions
him about his desire to kiss her---" Haven't you ever been tempted to
kiss me just because you wanted to?" Alan answers her by passionately
delivering a big wet kiss to her lips! Eyes widened, Annie pulls back
slightly, surprised at the magnitude of the moment, and giggles that
she is quite taken by this turn of events. Alan declares that he feels
Annie to be a very irresistible woman and giving the divorce to Josh
was the best thing she could do. She is amazed, that after all of her
obsessions with Josh, this is the first moment in a long time that she
hasn't given Josh a second thought...

JEVA:
Also lighting candles, Josh and Reva begin their romantic interlude in
the shadows of the night. They are reminded about Cross Creek and how
they played strip poker---" I remember every single garment that left
your body" Josh declares. Reva gets out some cards and announces--
-" Get ready to get naked, Bud!"

ALANNIE:
Alan admits that he is very glad that Annie's obsession with Josh is
over. She then asks for water and a trash can and proceeds to reveal
several papers that Alan recognizes as the tips that layed the trail
of lies in Reva's search for her sister. She throws them in the trash
except for one piece----the one with the real name of Reva's sister.
For a moment, Annie considers aloud the possibility of using the name
and number against Reva again but Alan convinces her otherwise  She
throws the paper in the trash.

BLOSS:
Glowing in the candlelight, Blake apologizes to Ross for having scared
him. " I was terrified", Ross admits, "I saw this world without you in
it and it was a cold place..." He recounts for her all of the things
he remembered about her that he used to take for granted----" your
sweet smile...those secret wordless moments when we're walking
together...I love you....I want you in my life now and forever." With
this, he lifts her into his arms, " I want to make love to the most
beautiful woman in the world."

JEVA:
A shirtless Josh is playfully trying to avoid losing another article
of clothing when Reva launches into a  strip-tease. She shimmies
around the room, flashing her bra, as Abbey and Rick enter the house.

ROGER and I-Love-It-Wet-and-Sandy AMANDA:
Roger and Amanda arrive at the beach where they sit together in the
sand. Noticing a pail of water, Amanda begins to sprinkle water in
Rogers face. He returns the gesture by dumping all the water on her
head! She only laughs and, as she is wringing the water from her hair,
Roger is gazing at her. He pulls her down to the sand and tells her
that he appreciates her support during the Blake crisis. He then
kisses her arm and says, " I want you in my life, Amanda, but right
now, I just want you." With that, they fall to the sand and
breathlessly begin to kiss, tearing at each others clothes.

RICK and Make-Me-Giggle ABBEY:
Rick is surprised at Abbey's reaction to Josh and Reva's stripping
scene but Abbey assures him that she has grown up----and what Josh and
Reva were doing is what all people who love each other do. Rick
suggests that they play strip poker, too :)) Awkward giggles from
Abbey draws the subject away to Kevin. Rick regrets not spending more
time with Kevin and declares " I want my son to know who I am."

BLOSS:
Blake enters the bathroom where Ross has filled the room with
candle-light with bubbles in the tub. He continues to profess his deep
love for her as he joins her in the bath. He produces his wedding ring
and asks Blake to place it back on his finger.

JEVA:
Josh and Reva enter their candle lit room and begin to playfully joke
about their poker game. He suggests 3 minutes to heaven but Reva is
more interested in Josh's " straight flush" . They remove their
clothes and fall onto the bed, caressing one another and professing
their love.

RABBEY:
Cold cloth Rick finally changes the subject from Kevin and begins
kissing Abbey's leg. She admits that talking about his feelings for
his son are important, but he is now interested in kissing her neck.
She responds with passion as Rick becomes more aggressive! He pulls
back and says he must stop but she feels that they have made definite
progress. They begin to kiss again but are interrupted this time by
the lights and radio turning on as the blackout in Springfield is
over.

BLOSS:
Blake and Ross awake and reminisce about their night in the bath.
Excitedly, they begin kissing again but they, too, are interrupted by
the cry of the boys. Ross leaves and brings the boys to their bed and
remark to one another how grateful they are for this second chance.

ALANNIE:
Roger and Amanda walk in to find Alan and Annie asleep in one another
arms on the couch. A&A jump up and fumble around embarrassed.
Outside the room, Amanda warns Alan that Annie is dangerous and cannot
be trusted. Alan assures Amanda that Annie has changed---she has
learned her lessons----and she will be staying on at the Spaulding
mansion. Inside the study, Annie retrieves the paper with Reva's
sister's name and number on it----declaring out loud that "it's just
one little phone call"

JEVA:
Marah and Shayne join J&R and begin jumping on the bed. J&R laugh and
looking at their family, Reva admits one thing would make it all
complete-----her sister. Josh agrees that they will look for her
together.
