GL UPDATE - Friday 8/29/97

Highlights:

- Abby refuses to leave the hospital for Casa Bauer
- Reva overhears Cassie talking to Tammy
- Annie escapes from the psych hospital
- Hart confronts Michael about Dinah's concerns

WSPR:  Dinah is on the phone with Sandra and tells her to get some new
titles for the show.  Hart enters giving Dinah a headline - lost: one
fiancee.  Dinah hangs up and kisses Hart.  Hart wonders why she hasn't
called.  Dinah tries to explain how busy she is. The phone rings and Hart
stops Dinah from answering - wondering if she's trying to get rid of him.

PSYCH WARD: Annie stares listlessly. The orderly tries to get Annie to pay
attention, snapping his fingers in her face.  Alan comes over and grabs the
orderly away. Annie begs Alan to get her out; Alan explains that he had
everything arranged - until Reva visited.  Annie is incredulous.

CEDARS:  Reva thanks Cassie for bringing over the bag.  Cassie says to thank
Josh for giving her the time off, and says she knows how Reva feels about
Abby.  Reva complains that the problem is now Alan and how Alan pulled her
away from Abby's bedside to meet with him.  Cassie wonders what Alan wanted
and Reva tells her that he threatened her family and warns Cassie to run if
she ever meets Alan.  Reva refuses to talk anymore about Alan and they head
off to Abby's room.

Rick is at Abby's bedside; Reva wonders how Abby is doing and Rick says not
great.  Rick tries to perk up and says that everything is all set for Abby
to leave and go to a Casa Bauer guest room. Abby looks reluctant; Rick tries
to be understanding about her "ordeal".  Abby says that even though she
wasn't raped, she was violated.  Abby says she has changed her mind and
wants to go home with Reva.

LITTLE LIGHTHOUSE TWIRL

Abby asks if it's o.k. and Reva says that it is - but she thinks that Rick
and Abby need a moment alone.  Cassie and Reva leave - Rick looks close to
tears.  Rick is confused because he thought Abby was coming home with him,
and assures Abby that Meta will be there to help.  Abby says it isn't about
Meta.  Rick asks her to talk to him - Abby says it isn't Meta or Michelle.
Rick wonders if Abby is uncomfortable with him.  Abby thinks that maybe it
is a bit about Rick and apologizes. She doesn't think she can be around Rick
at the moment and asks him to understand.

THANK YOU PANTENE PRO-V FOR THIS PORTION OF GUIDING LIGHT

PSYCH WARD:  Alan assures Annie that everything was all set up until she got
into it with Reva.  Annie can't believe what's happening to her. Annie
explains that Reva came in demanding information on her sister - Alan wants
to know if Annie told Reva. Annie goes on with "her" version of the story -
where Reva re-told the story of her mother's deathbed wish, and how Annie
almost felt sorry for a minute.  Alan is incredulous that Annie might have
given info to Reva, and Annie assures him she isn't that crazy.  Alan wants
to know all the details; Annie lies that Reva said she wanted the
information because Annie owed it to her.  Alan reminds Annie that the talk
with Reva got physical; Annie lies that Reva threatened her to give the
information on the sister.  Annie seems a bit confused and then says that
the conversation got turned around and they started talking about Josh.
Annie seems desperate and begs Alan to believe her - telling him that Reva
went ballistic - Alan surmises that was the moment when the "attack"
happened and Annie agrees.  Alan reminds Annie to remember the big picture -
destroying Josh and Reva.  Annie starts to complain about how everyone
believes Reva, and Alan says he believes her - Annie  - and that he won't
desert her and hugs her.

CEDARS:  Outside Abby's room, Reva tells Cassie that she wishes she could
make Abby's pain go away. Cassie tries to reassure Reva - Reva tries to
explain how special Abby is and what a sheltered life she led.

In Abby's room - Rick tries to convince Abby to come home with him.  Abby
demands that he not force her to do something she isn't comfortable with.
Abby pauses and tells Rick that she loves him, but she needs to be in her
own place. Rick agrees, and says he will just come by - Abby stops him and
says that she will call him if she wants to see him; she wants him to give
her some space. Abby tells Rick to leave.  As Rick is on his way out, Abby
asks Rick to have Reva come back in.  In the lobby, Rick tells Reva and
Cassie that he can't even come close to helping Abby right now.

WSPR:  Dinah is confused about why Hart thinks she is avoiding him.  Hart
points out that they haven't made love in two weeks and how that's a record,
then mentions that they started in the office the other day and Dinah pushed
him away.  Dinah explains again that she didn't know if she had taken her
birth control pill and how she is concerned about her mother's disease.
Dinah explains that's she's concerned about getting her mother's disease and
burdening him; Hart interjects that Van caused a lot of pain when she tried
to avoid that.  Dinah goes on that no one knows why Van was cured. Hart
thinks it's because of Van's treatment in Switzerland. Dinah tells Hart that
might not be the reason - and that Michael explained everything to her.
Hart gets upset and wonders what Michael has to do with anything. Dinah
tells him that Michael is a doctor but lost his license to practice.  Hart
wants to know when Dinah talked to Michael and Dinah tells him he doesn't
know anything about it. Hart storms off to get more information.  Dinah is
distraught.

CEDARS:  Rick complains to Reva that Abby wants to go home with her.  Reva
promises to take good care of her - Rick is self righteous and explains that
he treated her so he knows what she went through.  Reva tries to calm Rick -
and tells him that Abby is like a sister to her. Reva goes off to Abby's
room, and invites Cassie along.  Rick sits down and puts his head in his hands.

Reva and Cassie enter Abby's room; Reva jokes about Abby's gown.  Abby says
she is tired - because people keep telling her how good it is that she
wasn't raped.  Abby says she remembers things - the man hitting and grabbing
her, pulling her down and ripping her dress and exposing her.  Abby starts
to cry and says that she feels ashamed and she can't understand why it
happened to her.  Reva hugs Abby and Cassie looks on in tears.

Michelle is standing in the lobby as Jesse walks in.  Jesse says he came by
to see how Abby is doing.  Rick arrives and sees them.

HALFTIME

Rick starts to jump Jesse, Michelle stops him and says that Jesse just
wanted to know how Abby was. Michelle goes on to say that she had just told
Jesse the good news that Abby would be fine - Rick is outraged and says that
Abby is far from fine.  Rick rants to Jesse that Abby comes to a different
world and that one of Jesse's friends robbed her of her innocence; Rick
blames Michelle too. Michelle flinches.  Rick asks Michelle if she's still
proud of her relationship with Jesse.

Hart arrives to see Michael.  The nurse at the desk tries to stop Hart but
he barges in. Hart demands to know why Michael scared Dinah.

WSPR:  Dinah and Sandra agree on production schedules.  Sandra suggests
something that could really boost ratings - an interview with the deaf woman
who was attacked. Dinah says she knows the woman and will go to speak with
her to explain what would be involved.

PSYCH WARD:  Annie is crying and thanks Alan for his support, but tells him
it's time to be honest with herself.  Annie admits that she is focused on
finding fault and it got her into a mental hospital.  Alan tries to get
Annie to get a grip on herself.  Annie explains that she is starting to
worry about her mental health - all the doctors are telling her she is
obsessed. Alan assures Annie that she is fine. Annie tells Alan she can't
take any more - the sounds of crying and wailing, the smells.  Annie says
that she just wants to get out - even if it means forgetting about Josh,
Reva, and Cassie.  Annie tells Alan to call Cassie and tell her to go home -
the whole thing is over.

CEDARS:  Cassie tells Abby that she understands.  Cassie describes an attack
that happened to her. Abby wants to know it's going to be over - Cassie says
that it will be over when it's over; she tells Abby that Abby has a great
network of family/friends and that's what  will get her through.

PSYCH WARD:  Alan tries to convince Annie that she doesn't deserve to be in
there and that she is allowing Reva to break her spirit and win.  Annie is
unconvinced.  Alan tells Annie how well their plan is going and how he's
making big moves with Lewis Oil - this gets Annie's attention.  Alan tells
Annie that they are going to win - but he needs to know he can depend on
Annie.  Annie doesn't know since she's stuck in the asylum - Annie tells him
that being in the asylum isn't even worth the revenge, and that if he
doesn't get her out she will really go crazy.  Alan says he will take care
of things.  Annie is unsure.  Alan goes out into the hall and sees the
orderly - he flashes a wad of cash and convinces the orderly to take good
care of Annie - like a queen.

CEDARS:  Michael has no idea what Hart is talking about - Hart says that
Michael gave Dinah all these fears about inheriting her mother's disease.
Michael explains that Dinah had questions, but he tried to reassure her.
Michael said he gave Dinah the facts - that she was young and healthy and
shouldn't plan her future around a disease.  Hart realizes that Dinah might
be obsessing and apologizes to Michael.

Jesse tells Rick that the relationship is over - Rick doesn't believe him.
Michelle agrees that it's over.  Rick says he doesn't care because as far as
he is concerned, Michelle and Jesse don't exist.

Jesse apologizes.  Jesse tells Michelle that there is an APB for Roy; Jesse
has found out that there was a police report of screaming at his apartment
while he was at the lighthouse with Michelle - when the police came by Roy
was there.  Jesse says that Roy left town.  Jesse tries to leave - Michelle
tries to stop him - Jesse says that Michelle has to work things out with her
brother.  They go outside - Jesse says he isn't going to call but he wants
to know if anything happens to Abby.

Dinah arrives and asks for Rick.  Hart walks up and wonders why Dinah is
there; she explains that she wants to try and do a story with Abby.  Hart
thinks what happened to Abby is  terrible, but he doesn't want to talk about
Dinah's job.

Reva thanks Cassie for talking to Abby - but would have never asked Cassie
in if she had known that Cassie had been attacked.  Cassie says it's o.k.
and sometimes she needs to talk about it. Abby comes out from changing
clothes and Reva says she will brush her hair like she does for Marah, and
then Reva gets Cassie to get out the picture of Cassie's "girlfriend's"
daughter. They coo over the picture, as Cassie says she would do anything
for the girl. 

PSYCH WARD:  Annie goes over to talk to the orderly - she says she wasn't
upset about what he said earlier.  Annie tells him that he should be able to
tell that she doesn't belong there - and then says in a very seductive way
that she has a proposition for him.

Out in the hall - Alan calls the director of the psych ward and threatens to
go to the board - since they had agreed earlier to have Annie released.  The
director agrees to sign the papers and Alan is pleased.  

CEDARS:  Hart tells Dinah that he bought her story about not wanting to get
pregnant because of her mother's disease.  He goes on to tell her he
wouldn't want her health in jeopardy.  Hart tells Dinah he talked to Michael
and that either: Dinah misunderstood Michael, or Hart and Dinah have a big
problem.

Reva fixes Abby's hair.  Cassie excuses herself to "check in with the
office".  Outside, Cassie calls the foster home and asks to talk to her
daughter.  Reva walks out in time to hear Cassie saying: "we will be
together soon", and "mommy always keeps her promises". Cassie ends the call
and turns around to see Reva.  Reva tells Cassie that she didn't take her
for a liar but she was wrong.

PSYCH WARD:  Alan rushes in to tell Annie the good news - but she's gone!
Alan asks the orderly where Annie is - the orderly tells Alan that Annie was
cold and wanted to wear his jacket for a few minutes.  Alan realizes that
Annie has walked out.  

Annie (in the orderly's jacket) sneaks around a doorway saying "it's time to
end this -- I have to end this".  Seeing that the coast is clear - she runs
down the hall.
