Guiding Light update Wed 7/22

Josh brings Dolly out to the Diner for a trial run at a real life.  He
teaches her about her conscience.  Michael rushes in babbling about having
to stop Alan before he clones Annie and makes another thing like Dolly.
This upsets Dolly and Josh takes Michael outside to talk to him about.  He
tells him that he has a private investigator in place at Spaulding, that
nothing will happen.  Michael is determined to stop Alan.

Dolly goes in the back to talk to Harley and they talk about Philip and how
much he must love Harley to give her such a big rock of ring.  Dolly gets a
little upset and Harley tells her how special that she is, one of a kind.
Dolly decides that she likes being one of a kind and doesn't want Alan to
make another.  She calls and tries to make an appointment to see Alan
immediately.

Philip doesn't want to leave Harley, but she has to work.  He can't believe
that they are going to be married.  Beth walks into the Diner and orders
black coffee to go and goes to the phone.  Beth tells Harley what she is in
store for being a Spaulding and a corporate wife.  Harley tells her nothing
will change.  Beth tells Harley about Ross shooting Blake and how some
people do things in anger.  They sort of call a truce and Beth wishes Harley
luck.  Harley goes in the back and in anger, is chopping veggies when Dolly
comes in and talks to her.  While they talk, Harley takes off her ring and
accidentally throws in the garbage disposal with the clippings.  She pulls
it out and the stone is okay, but they setting is not.  Selena helps her
keep it from Philip when he comes back before he goes to work.  They tell
him it is at the jewelers getting sized.

Michelle and Jesse go to the Gallery to show his art work to Dru's friend.
He really likes his work and wants to give Jesse his own one man show.
Jesse and especially Michelle, can't believe it.  Jesse goes into the office
to talk to the guy, leaving Michelle and Dru outside.  Michelle tells Dru
that she thinks this is all her doing, and Dru can't believe that Michelle
doesn't believe in Jesse's talent and says something to that extent when
Jesse comes back out.  Dru leaves Jesse and Michelle to fight over Dru and
what she may be doing.  Jesse decides that maybe Michelle is right and he
should just walk away.  When they leave, Dru tells the guy that she will
underwrite Jesse's show.  He refuses and tells her that Jesse is the real
thing.  He is really good.

Rick tries to get Holly to eat, but she refuses.  Holly doesn't want to
leave Blake and can't understand why she isn't awake yet.  She keeps talking
to her trying to get her to hear her.

In the hospital chapel, Ross and Ben rehash their own version of what
happened for Frank.  Ross tells how he saw Blake crying and Ben attacking
her, and Ben tells how much Blake wanted him and loved him.  Frank doesn't
know which one to believe and says he needs another witness, Blake.  They go
to Blake's room, and Frank tells him he can see Blake but he wants to go
with him.  When Ross walks in and calls her name, she slowly opens her eyes.
