  Since we haven't had a Wed. update for awhile, I wanted to write a 
brief update for last Wednesday so that people who can't see the show 
will be able to find out what happened.  Besides, it gave an excuse to 
watch the episode again.  Karen (Thursday updater)

  BOARDINGHOUSE

Vanessa brings Peter back and Nola surprises her in the kitchen.  Nola, 
"Where do you get off stealing other people's children?"

  CEDARS

Lucy talks to Lillian about the possibility that she has HIV.

  SPAULDING ENTERPRISES

A-M calls for a special vote to see who the Board wants to be President 
(Alan or A-M) because some think Alan should be in charge since he was 
cleared.  The vote is a tie.  Alex walks in and says she has the deciding 
vote.

  LEWIS HOME	

Josh & Annie are sneaking out for a walk when Hawk looks down the stairs, 
then fakes a fall.  Annie & Josh run to help.  Hawk says he just slipped 
& his heart pains come & go.  Josh goes to get him something to drink.  
Hawk tells Annie that his formal boots "are slipperier than a snake's 
backside" & that's why he slipped.  Annie asks if he's having an anxiety 
attack.  Hawk says if he gets anxious about something he shoots it.  He 
asks if she minds that Josh will never love another woman like Josh loved 
Hawk's daughter.  He tells her to leave before Josh gives her a "big hole 
in your heart".  Josh hears and tells Hawk he'll be out of here if he 
talks like that.

  BOARDINGHOUSE

Vanessa asks what Nola is doing here.  Nola asks what she's doing with 
Bridget's son, "How much money did you offer Bridget to get her to do 
this baby-sharing thing with you?"  Vanessa won't talk to her about it.  
Nola tells her that Vanessa is still the same, thinks she's better than 
anyone else.  Bridget arrives & asks what's going on.  Nola asks why her 
nephew is shuffled back & forth between homes.  Bridget tells them they 
shouldn't talk about this while Peter is in the room.  Nola doesn't know 
how long she'll be staying, but she has to stay & protect her family.  
Vanessa asks what she's done with Quint.

  CEDARS

Lillian tells Lucy they don't know if she has HIV, but Lil remembers what 
it was like when she was afraid to find out if her breast cancer had 
re-occurred.  She tells Lucy that she needs support from family & friends 
to help her get through this.

  SPAULDING ENTERPRISES

Alex votes for A-M, because he is the best thing for the company.  She'll 
work with him to insure the company's future.  Glen Taggert asks if Alan 
is aware of this.  Alex is sure he'll tell him.  A-M gets congrats from 
board members as they leave.  He asks Alex what this will cost him.

  CEDARS

Lucy can't talk to A-M, she can barely kiss without being worried that 
she could pass on something.  Lillian gives her the facts.  Lucy asks, 
"Why me?"  Lillian tells her it's just an auful disease, she should take 
it one day at a time.  Tells her to got a support group, rely on her 
family & don't cut herself off from love.

  LEWIS HOME

Josh tells Hawk that if he wants to see his grandkids he has to accept 
Josh's relationship with Annie.  Marah comes in & Hawk tells Josh & Annie 
to take their walk.

  BOARDINGHOUSE

Nola tells Vanessa that Quint & the kids are on a dig in Guatemala.  She 
needed a break.  She was visiting Tony & Annabelle, then decided to come 
see the old place.  Vanessa says Henry will be happy to see her.  Matt 
comes in & kisses Vanessa.  He sees Nola.  Nola, "Vanessa, you have been 
busy.  Is there anybody else in my family you'd like to have?"  Nola 
doesn't know who Matt looks more like, Sean or Tony.  Vanessa tells her 
about the engagement.  Nola hadn't heard that.  Her adventures couldn't 
compare with his, "those Chamberlins keep us on our toes".  Matt asks 
what's going on, so Bridget explains that Nola is having a hard time with 
the Peter situation.  Nola, "It reminds me of a Chinese restaurant menu.  
One mom from column A & one mom from column B."  Matt takes Vanessa out.

Nola gives Bridget suggestions for redoing the boardinghouse, but Bridget 
tells her to stop criticizing her life.  Nola asks if Bridget wants her 
to leave.  Bridget apologizes for yelling & tells her to stay.  She goes 
to check on Peter.  

Henry arrives & is happy to see Nola.  He asks about Quint & the kids.  Nola 
tells him that they aren't coming, because Quint left her.

  SPAULDING ENTERPRISES

Alex asks A-M to trust her.  She needs to be a part of the company & have 
an active role.  She needs hands on work.  She asks him to think about 
it.  Lucy arrives, Alex leaves.  Lucy suggest that A-M send phone calls 
to the switchboard so they leave.

  WOODS

Josh & Annie are lost and run acroos an old building with a carousel.

  COUNTRY CLUB POOL

Lucy & A-M are in the water.  She tells him that she's going to work for 
her happiness.  They splash each other & cuddle.

  LEWIS HOME

Over ice cream, Hawk pumps Marah for info about Annie.  Marah tells him 
about the time she heard Doctor Rick talking to Annie about lying to Josh.

  BOARDINGHOUSE

Nola tells Henry that Quint wants a divorce because of a 23-year-old grad 
student.  The kids love him so much they stayed with him.  She misses 
them so much, but they have "bone fever" & are taken with his way of life.  
She can't compete.  She didn't know what to do except come home.

  BEACH

Vanessa complains to Matt about Nola.  Matt tells her to forget about 
Nola.  They'll be together forever & come here on their anniversaries-- 
in 50 years he'll get a sidecar for his wheelchair and drive her here.  
That gives her something to look forward to & he makes her believe they 
will be happy.

  CAROUSEL BUILDING

Josh wonders if he can get it going.  Annie tells a story about running a 
pretend circus in her back yard when she was a kid.  Josh tells her that 
their life together will be full of magic & music.

  LEWIS HOME

Hawk finds out who Dr. Rick is and sends Marah for more ice cream while 
he calls the hospital to find out when Rick is on duty.

  BOARDINGHOUSE
 
Henry comforts Nola.  She says when she was a kid she couldn't wait to 
leave here.  She'd dream about wonderful adventures, but the dreams were 
more fun than what they turned into.  Henry is glad to have her back.  
Nola wonders if they ask too much of love, maybe it's just not meant to 
last.  Henry, "It's the only thing that does last."


The GL theme music plays (sounding like carousel music) while we see the 
carousel with Josh & Annie, A-M helping Lucy out of the pool & wrapping 
her in a towel & holding her, Matt & Vanessa dancing on the sand, and 
Josh and Annie pulling a brass ring out of the carousel.



I'll do this again next week if we don't get an update (especially if 
it's the day that they announce Holly's big news).  Karen
