"Guiding Light" Update for Wednesday, August 14, 1996
By Patricia K. Lambert

Nola pays a visit to a shirt less Zachary and tells him Vanessa didn't 
talk to Matt about her condition.

Vanessa and Matt and Ross and Blake are all line dancing.  Vanessa 
tells Matt she doesn't when she's ever felt so good and pats him on the 
rear-end.

Vivian is very surprised when Fletcher finds a gun in the back of her 
car and more surprised when he says it's the same caliber that hit 
Griffin.

Dinah thinks that Hart has left the roof where he was looking for her 
and turns to leave bumping into him.  He says she isn't leaving until 
she hears what he has to say.

Roll lighthouse.

Lighthouse:
Nola tries to talk Zachary into telling Matt about Vanessa's illness 
because he isn't as close to them as she is.  She says he can be the 
messenger.

Roadhouse:
Vanessa tells Blake how much fun she is having because she was in the 
mood for something different.  Blake tells Ross how Matt bought the 
island for Vanessa and is going to build their dream house on it.  
Blake says that Vanessa has it all, health wealth and happiness.  
Vanessa tells Blake it takes one to know one.  Blake calls Ross over to 
show her how to hold the cue stick again because it seems she's 
forgotten.

Cedars Garage:
Vivian continues to plead innocence because her trunk lock has been 
broken for weeks.  She says she never went into the building.  Fletcher 
says they need to run a ballistics test on the rifle.  Fletcher calls 
Frank.

Rooftop:
Dinah doesn't want any more lectures on Bridget.  Hart calls her 
spoiled rotten and impatient then yells that he loves her before she 
runs off.

Company:
Bridget asks Marcus about his dad and says she's been praying for 
everyone.  Marcus turns on the tv.  Bridget asks Marcus about his 
relationship with Dinah.  She says she feels sorry for her and tells 
Marcus she traded the father for the son.  Marcus is surprised.  
Bridget says she knows for a fact that Hart is not in love with Dinah.

Rooftop:
Hart repeats that he loves Dinah.  She says it's hard to believe 
because men don't say that to her unless they want something.  Hart 
says no requirements.  Dinah says she isn't loveable because her own 
mother gave her away.  Hart says he doesn't know why he loves her he 
just does.  Dinah sobs about how no one has ever said those things.

Cedars Garage:
Frank says that someone used a screwdriver to jimmy open her lock.  
Vivian makes excuses saying it happened a few weeks ago at the mall and 
her dealership can't get to her until September.  Cleary says the trunk 
is clean.
  Frank says they have to impound her vehicle and she has to go down to 
HQ for questioning.               
They tell Vivian they aren't arresting her they just want to ask her 
questions.  Charles steps in.  She tells Charles she didn't shoot 
Griffin and asks to ride along with them.  He tells her they'll call 
Ross when they get to the station.  Holly says it's a stretch that 
Vivian tried to kill Griffin.  Fletcher isn't so easily swayed because 
of his witness but the witness didn't tell him she was carrying a rifle 
when she left the building. 
 Holly can't believe it was Vivian.  

Lighthouse:
Nola says Zachary is perfect for the job.  Zachary says he isn't 
messing with others lives.  Nola says there is something special about 
him.  She thinks he can't Vanessa to open up. Nola changes her mind 
that a total stranger could change her mind.  Nola leaves and tells 
Zach good luck with his work.

Roadhouse:
Matt says he's having fun and glad Vanessa insisted they come out 
tonight.  Vanessa  says she wanted enough for their memory box and 
explains how Henry told her that everyone has a little place where they 
put special memory's where they know where they are when they might 
need them.
Ross asks Blake if she's reconsidered "Edward" and "Frederick" for the 
twins.  She rejects them.
Vanessa feels another fainting spell coming on.  She tells Matt she 
needs air and goes outside.  Somebody walks up and she asks where they 
came from.

(Sorry guys, I had a special news bulletin interrupt right about here 
so I don't know how much I missed)

Zachary says he can't do that and wants to know where Matt is.  He 
tells her she can't keep it from him forever.  Vanessa tells him to 
stay out of her life.  Zachary asks if she would want Matt to do that 
to her.  Vanessa cries and says she doesn't know what she's going to 
do. She tells Zachary that she knows how Matt will continue to take 
care of her but she doesn't want him to have to go threw with it.  
Vanessa says he'd be better off she just died.  Zach says everyone 
would be devastated. Vanessa says that they'd go on with their lives.  
Zach says no one is better off dead.  Vanessa says that she should take 
her own life.  Zach says no.

Boarding House:
They talk about Hart and Dinah.  Bridget says that Hart is bad news.  
Marcus wants to know how Bridget knows that Hart isn't in love with 
Dinah.  Bridget says that when Hart comes over to play with Peter he 
gives her the "hey baby, let's get naked" look.  Marcus says he can not 
warn Dinah about Hart because she will tell him to go to hell. Bridget 
says that Dinah will have to find out about Hart the hard way like she 
did.

Rooftop:
Dinah says that everything in life makes sense now.  They both never 
thought that this would happen.  Hart says he is sorry that her heart 
had to be broken by his father before he realized how wonderful she 
was.  They are kissing and he says there is one more thing, they can't 
see each other anymore.

Dinah thinks Hart is joking.  Hart says they can't be seen together.  
Dinah wants to keep Bridget out of their conversation for 5 minutes.  
Hart says they have to be careful.  Dinah says they have nothing to 
worry about. 
 Hart says that's when Roger gets them.  Dinah tells Hart she needs 
him.  Hart says they can't screw up their present to endanger their 
future.

Roadhouse:
Zachary tells Vanessa how life is precious and every soul has a 
purpose.  God brings us in and only God should take us out.  Vanessa 
says He is taking everything that makes her human.  Zach tells Vanessa 
that no one knows what the future holds.  All we know is who we are and 
where we've been.  Zach tells Vanessa to think of Matt and the kids.  
They'll never be able to let go.  Zach agrees that he is speaking from 
experience.  He tells her not to give up and tells her to call him if 
she feels like that again, ever.  She promises.  Vanessa invites him to 
play pool.  Zach says it sounds like fun.

Police Station:
Frank offers Vivian coffee. She's not answering any questions until 
Ross arrives.  Holly tells Fletcher to sound like a friend.  Fletch 
reminds Holly that Griffin is a friend as well.  Holly reassures 
Vivian.  They find out that Vivian is an expert markswoman and won the 
women's Sharp Shooting event at the club this year. (uh oh!)
Ross arrives as Fletcher is practically accusing Vivian. Charles is 
told to stay outside while Vivian is in with Ross for questioning.

Boardinghouse:
Marcus says Bridget is the best cook in the world, almost, and decides 
to talk to Dinah.  Marcus goes to take a shower.  Bridget smiles as 
Nola walks in.  Nola wants to know what Bridget is so happy out.  
Bridget says it's nice when they can help their friends out.  

Rooftop:
Dinah and Hart making out.  YUCK!!  Hart says he has to leave. Dinah 
makes him promise they'll be together.  Dinah, alone now, thanks God.

Roadhouse:
Vanessa brings in Zachary.  Matt tells Zach thanks for helping out 
Vanessa that day at the carousel and how the doctor gave her a clean 
bill of health.  The guys set up for a game of 8-ball.  Compares it to 
how people bump each other around like the balls.  Zach says that it is 
like a poem his friend always says "There's a destiny that makes us 
brothers, No man goes his way alone, All that we send into the lives of 
others, Comes back into our own."  And with that, he shoots and makes 
ALL the balls into the pockets.  Freeze on Zach as he throws the white 
ball in the air and catches it.  

THE END!
See ya'll next week!
