Guiding Light Update for Monday Sept. 15
by Rhonda

THE FIRE STATION/CONDO:
Buzz and Jenna enter remarking how well lil' Coop likes his play group
and all his new friends. Buzz comments that Coop is far more happy
than his children were at that age. He recalls HB's service and
remarks that Harley probably wouldn't even show up at his. Jenna
laughs and discounts his pity- party invitation.  Speaking of Harley,
Buzz asks Jenna to reveal her whereabouts. Jenna hesitates until Buzz
demands to know where his darling daughter is.  Finally, Jenna
confesses---" Harley is in an insane asylum."

INSIDE THE NUT HOUSE:
Alan has come to visit Annie. Caitlin/Harley freaks as she is well
aware that her cover will be blown should Alan see her. She hides
behind a wall and begs Annie not to let Alan see her.

LEWIS OIL:
Billy is trying to comfort a tearful Cassie----who feels unimportant
and useless in aiding Billy through his trying time. Billy assures her
that her bright face is comfort enough and quite unexpectedly, plants
a kiss square on the lips of Cassie. At that moment, Hart enters and
sees the kiss. Hart goes to the office as Billy stumbles over an
apology for being " way out of line" with the kiss.

CEDARS:
Vanessa and Matt receive the good news that Van is still in remission.
However, her symptoms are a result of a pregnancy. Matt and Van react
with shock and ask over and over " are you sure?" Gentle Giant Michael
enters and confirms that indeed Van is pregnant. Laughter erupts from
both Matt and Van as they celebrate the news with hugs and kisses.
Throughout the celebration, Rick and GG exchange concerned glances.
Vanessa exclaims to Matt that this baby is a miracle and "meant to
be." They begin to talk about strollers and diapers and the delivery
until GG interrupts. " Vanessa, that fact that you are in remission is
good news, your pregnancy isn't."

THE FIRE STATION:
Buzz is shouting in surprise at the confession that Harley has been
committed as Jenna tries to explain its necessity. " What were you
thinking??" he shouts. He announces that Harley's life could be in
jeopardy were she to be spotted by Alan and her cover blown. Jenna
reminds Buzz that Harley was once a cop and " there is nothing she
can't handle."

LOONEY BIN:
Caitlin/Harley is extremely anxious that Alan is knocking at the door.
Annie is suspicious and questions her how she knows the great Alan S.
Caitlin  resists answering and instead tries to convince Annie the
importance of Alan *not* seeing her in the room. She finally confesses
that she has a deep crush on Mr. Spaulding----that she has read all
about the Spauldings in the paper and that she developed a liking to
Alan the moment she saw his handsome face in the paper. She continues
that meeting Alan in the hospital would be an embarrassment to her.
Annie agrees that she will take Alan to the rec room. When Annie joins
Alan outside the room, Alan is livid that he has been kept waiting but
Annie explains that her new roommate has a crush on him and is
embarrassed to meet him. Alan warns Annie that making friends "in this
place" is not wise but Annie admits she is warming up to Caitlin. Alan
warns Annie that Reva has hired Harley Cooper and Jenna to track down
leads on the missing sister and that they have enlisted the help of
Philip. He then asks if Annie knows Harley Cooper and Annie reveals
that she has never seen her.

LEWIS OIL----HOME OF SEXUAL HARRASSMENT:
Cassie accepts Billy's lame apology for the kiss, stating that she
knows it wasn't a "come-on"----that Billy was just seeking comfort for
feeling "lost and alone". She reveals that she is glad to have been a
help. ( ???!!!!???!!!!)
Hart paces in the inner office recalling a conversation with Dinah
where she accuses Cassie of trying to "catch a rich man". He remembers
discounting that idea until now....

CEDARS, THE HOME OF ZERO CONFIDENTIALITY:
Dinah enters and is asked by a nurse ( or aide) for an autograph.
Dinah obliges and seizes the moment to pry for information. The nurse
says she cannot reveal names of victims of Domestic violence. Dinah
says " too bad" and struts off. But, the nurse follows and gives the
number to the Battered Women's director. The nurse then reveals that
"your mom looks great!" She further reveals that Vanessa is here for a
check-up and is down the hall with Dr. Bauer. Dinah is shocked but
scurries off to see Van.
Meanwhile, Michael is explaining to Van and Matt that her
pregnancy---and the surge of hormones----could be "highly dangerous"
and could trigger a relapse of her disease. Dinah enters and Van
rushes to tell her the good news about her remission. Dinah is
relieved but questions Van about her symptoms. Van does not reveal the
pregnancy----explaining that her dizziness is a temporary
inconvenience.

THE FIRE HOUSE:
Buzz is eating some of the cookies left by his secret admirer while
Jenna is begging him not to----cautioning him that they could be laced
with poison!. She adds that whomever is sending these gifts is giving
her the creeps! Buzz bites into a cookie and suddenly begins to choke
and gasp---falling to the floor is a great heap. At first, Jenna is
alarmed then realizes, as the phone rings, that Buzz is teasing. She
answers the phone----its Harley at the Nut House.  Buzz takes over the
phone just in time to hear Har call him a "buttinsky" to which he
replies ---thank you! He asks if she is OK, she says yes, and then he
tells her that he and Jenna are busy and call back later----" now
who's being the buttinsky!" and he hangs up!
Buzz and Jenna begin to grope one another with lewd references to
needing "relief"  Outside of their window, mystery stalker is
watching.

LEWIS OIL:
Billy takes a phone call and asks Cassie to explain to Hart the delay
for their meeting. When Cassie approaches hart, he is cold and
distant. Cassie is about to leave for her desk when Hart adds---" I
was wrong about you".He questions her about the kiss and accuses
Cassie of hustling Billy for money. Cassie explodes and and says--
-" oh, you got this all figured out!---Who the hell do you think you
are?"

FUNNY FARM:
Annie and Alan in the rec room talk about Cassie and Alan's plan to
have Cassie make a move for Billy, eventually pitting Lewis Brother
against Lewis Brother. Annie reacts with glee at the plan as Alan
warns her not to trust " anyone but me". Alan promises they will be
together and Annie laughs that Reva " will get hers" when she finds
out her baby sister worked at a strip joint. Harley, who has been
lurking pillar to post, overhears the statement.

LEWIS OIL:
Hart and Billy sign an oil deal. Billy attempts to explain the kiss
and confesses that he kissed Cassie, not the other way around---and
that he apologized to Cassie for being out of line. Billy leaves and
Hart confronts Cassie---" why did you let me believe that you kissed
Billy?" Cassie says because Mr. Smarty Pants guessed he had it all
figured out so why say otherwise. He apologizes and offers
lunch----she refuses. Coffee? she refuses----"A stick of gum?" she
takes a rain check. After he leaves, she exclaims---" Damn he's cute!"

CEDARS:
Dinah wants to throw a party to celebrate the good news about the
remission by throwing a party for the whole gang. Dinah leaves as
Michael begins to discuss Van's condition. " I don't want to talk
about it anymore", Van exclaims and she and Matt leave.

FINAL TIDBITS:
At the firehouse, the stalker steals the picture of Buzz and Coop.
Harley calls and reveals their first real lead.
At Lewis Oil, Alan calls Cassie and demands that she make Billy fall
"foolishly in love" with her. Tearfully, Cassie agrees.
At Cedars, Hart meets up with Dinah, who shares the news about
Vanessa's remission.
In the Cedars hallway, Matt alludes to having "no other choice"
regarding terminating the pregnancy but Vanessa smiles---" Matt, I
want to have this baby."
