			GUIDING LIGHT UPDATE
			for Wed. October 18, 1995
			*************************

By Lucas


GOSHEN
Reva is still hiding in her room from Hawk. She accidentally gasps
and Hawk asks about 4 times if anyone is there. He starts to push
her door open.

SPAULDING ENTERPRISES/CEDARS
Brent sits down at the computer about to change the results. He deletes
"NEGATIVE". Cut to monitor in Wyatt's office. Lillian complains that the
results aren't in yet. Back at Spaulding, Susan comes in and rips a
cord out of the back of Marian's computer. "You stupid girl!" Marian
yells as she wrestles Susan for the cord. Lillian calls the lab and finds
that the results have been typed in already. "There's nothing on the screen."
No, they can't give them to her over the phone. They will retype them ASAP.
Lucy and A-M come in wanting an answer. Cut to SPAULDING. "I'm not going
to let you do this to Lucy!" "You're going to regret this, Susan!" As
they continue to wrestle.

ROLL LIGHTHOUSE

SUCRETS, ANYONE?
"Hello?" Hawk ventures. Alan opens the outside door. "Hello!" Alan is
irate that Hawk was going through Rebecca's cabin. Alex comes up and
Hawk explains that he went looking for her but she had disappeared.
Alan took her on a tour. "You've got blueberries on your chin!" Alan
demands that they both leave Goshen. Hawk loves the new Alan. "You
look a lot like those good ol' boys on the cough drop boxes. You look
downright pious in that getup!" Alan says loudly enough for Reva to
hear that Alex hired Hawk, Reva's father, to drive her." A man who 
reviled his own daughter?!" Hawk is truly offended. Alex can't figure
out Alan's strange behavior either. Hawk will bet his life savings (HA!)
that Alan isn't telling the whole story.

DINER
Buzz, Nadine, and Eleni are trying to keep their minds off Lucy. Nadine
is having a vision. Eleni is encouraging her. Candlestick, bloody rose,
heart-shaped charm. Buzz thinks that's enough cop shows for her. Nadine
now figures it is a woman who will die. "It's not about Lucy!" She
says. "I saw murder. It wasn't death by disease or anything like that."
Buzz has had enough. "You're scaring Eleni to death and now you
are scaring me to death." Nadine: "Im scared too, Buzz." Buzz thinks
Nadine should just leave town like she said. "There is an innocent
woman who is going to be murdered."

BOOKKEEPING AND TEST SWITCHING
Marian and Susan continue to wrestle with the cord for two different
reasons. "What have I done to you, Susan? What?" "What are you going
to do, Marian, *kill* me?" They stop wrestling. "Silly girl, where do
you get such ideas?" "Killing isn't your style Marian. You like to go
behind people's backs and pit people against each other. You lied to
Lucy about A-M." "Well, I'm going to A-M right now and tell him what
you did to this computer." "I haven't done anything to the computer.
I'm not stupid; I just unplugged the monitor. Nothing's happened
to your data." "Just leave; I'm going to ask you one time." "i'm
onto you Marian. You're poison." "You are full of poison, Susan."
"you told Lucy that A-M wouldn't love her if she was HIV+." Marian
continues with the argument while stealthily typing "POSITIVE" into 
the computer. 

GOD. THREE MORE MONTHS OF LUCY
Lillian explains the situation to Lucy, The results are coming in. 
"POSITIVE." Wyatt feels her pain. Lucy and A-M are devastated.

TEAR THROUGH MY CHEST RIP OUT MY HEART THROW IT ON THE FLOOR STOMP
ON IT WITH GOLF SHOES THEN RUN IT THROUGH THE PAPER SHREDDER, WHY
DON'T YOU?
Marian and Susan. "Keep your hands off my things." "If you stay away
from Lucy, Marian, I will come nowhere near you or your things." "You
think you are so smart." "Yeah, I am. I'm smart enough to know who
you really are." "What do you mean by that, Susan?" "You're a phony.
You walk around here pretending to be so sweet innocent, gentle
person who has been victimized. You're a vicious mean-spirited woman.
You are EVIL, Marian." "GET OUT! GET OUT!" "You are totally and
completely evil." Marian's about to explode. "GET OUT! GET OUT!"
"You don't have anyone in your life. Do you, Marian? So you are
jealous and vindictive and mean. YOu have to stick your dirty little
fingers in other people's lives to make them as miserable as you."
"I know where this is coming from."  "You claim to care about Lucy.
You hate her, Marian." "I know you're bitter, Susan. But please
don't take it out on me." "You can't stand the fact that Lucy is
young and pretty and has someone who cares about her, can you?
So you tell her that A-M will hate her and resent her if she is
HIV+." "I will not listen to another word of your filth. You resent
what I told Lucy because you know it's the truth. You can't handle it
because you know it's going to happen to you. You are going to die,
Susan. And you are going to die alone. Hated by everyone who used to
care for you." Susan tries to run away but Marian grabs her. "Oh. no.
I'm not through with you. You can deny it all you want but you know
it is going to happen. You look fine now and you may even feel fine.
But your time won't last. Pretty soon you'll start showing symptoms.
Pretty soon your body will be ravished by every disease you can imagine.
And you will die alone." Susan is bawling. "NO! WHAT ARE YOU? YOU"RE
NOT HUMAN! WHAT ARE YOU?!?" She runs out. Brent follows her.

Susan is upstairs and runs into Nick. He wants to know why she's upset.
She wants hhim to go away. He won't. They go into A-M office. Brent
eavesdrops.

IF YOU'RE POSITIVE AND YOU KNOW IT, CLAP YOUR HANDS
(No more jokes about this, I promise)
A-M is sure it is a mistake. Lillian sets Lucy onto the couch. Wyatt
convinces A-M the results are double-checked before they are entered.
Wyatt kneels next to Lucy. "Right now ther are 2 people in this room
who know how you feel. You and me. I'm not going to give you numbers
and facts right now; there's plenty of time for that. Plenty of time."
"I'm glad you are here." You can live for a long time....etc. A-M
is trying to be supportive. "I'm just a little scared that's all."
Wyatt says that attitude is extremely important. She wants to
talk to A-M. Everyone else leaves. They hug.

IF YOU'RE A FRAUD AND YOU KNOW IT, STOMP YOUR FEET
Alan berates Hawk for coming. Hawk and Alex are convinced he is
hiding something. They aren't leaving. Alex goes into the cabin.
"The Less is Less school of design." Alan's a changed man BLAH BLAH
Hawk starts rehashing things from Alan's past and Alan tries to
get him to shut up. Where is Rebecca, they ask. They aren't leaving
until they meet her.

POLICE STATION
Frank and Nell are bickering as usual. Patrick tells them to stop.
Nell thinks aomething else is bugging Frank. 

CEDARS
Lucy will be fine. A-M will be here for her. Lucy tries to
come to grips with the results. She didn't think it would
actually happen, but it did. I love you. No, I love you.

DOESN'T ALAN-MICHAEL LOCK HIS OFFICE?
Nick is consoling Susan on the couch. Brent listens outside.
Susan tries to explain what happened. Nick is incensed. They 
will make sure Lucy doesn't listen to Marian. Susan tells him
what she said about Susan. She breaks down again. "That
nasty little witch!" Brent is loving it. Nick goes to have
a word with Marian. 

LINCOLN LOGS
Alan is trying to get rid of the guests. Hawk starts in: "I remember
how it was with you and my little girl. You never did love Reva."
Alex wants Alan's shares of the company. "In a pig-s eye!" Hawk:
"I'll never forget what you did to my Reva! The lies you told
her when she was half-dead worried about Joshua." Alan throws
them out and slams the door. Reva comes out. "You've got a lot
of explaining to do."

COP SHOP
Frank and Nell arguing. Surprise, surprise. Gee, Patrick stops them.
Hmm, they call a truce. Frank admits to her that he is worried about
some medical tests Lucy is taking. Nell is concerned. They go over
the facts in the dock murder again. They determine it was a tall woman
who committed the murder. They agree to work together to catch the
killer.

BAD MAKEUP MEETS BAD ACTING
Brent plugs the monitor back in to his computer. He sees that the
results went through. He prints out a copy of the positive results.
Nick startles him. "What are you some kind of monster?" Marian
plays innocent. "If I made some error in judgment about Susan or
Lucy..." Nick: "You were trying to rip those women to shreds."
Nick: Susan's great. Marian: If the truth hurts... Nick leaves.
Brent threatens more pain and suffering on Springfield. The two
opposing test results are going into his scrapbook.

GIBBERISH HOGWASH AND HOOTENANNY
Hawk is consoling Alex. He tells her that Alan lied to Reva about
Marah not being her daughter. THey're going back to Springfield.

WOLF IN AMISH CLOTHING
Reva wants to know what Hawk was talking about. She recognized him
as her father. Alan puts him down. He wants to forget they ever came.
He wants to talk about leaving together.

WHEELS-N-SQUEALS
Wordless scene with piano playing in background. Buzz is wiping the same
spot on the counter over and over. Eleni is refilling napkins. Nadine
is sweeping. All look sad. They run to the door. Lucy and Alan-Michael
come in looking even sadder. The Coopers figure it out. Buzz grabs
Lucy and hugs her. Tears are streaming down her face. Eleni rubs
Alan-Michael's back. Buzz and Lucy make it to a booth and Lucy breaks
down. Eleni moves in and hugs them both. [Great Acting by all!]

WORLD TRAVELER MY ASS
Alan tells Reva o! the places we will go. Seychelles, the Great Wall.
Reva said that what Alex and Hawk said have her troubled about him.
KNOCK KNOCK Abigail has a major headache. Worse than ever. Alan goes
to get water. Abigail collapses.

THE LOVE SEAT
Susan and Nick. Susan said Marian was telling the truth. "It's going
to happen to me someday." "Nobody gets out of this alive." He
recites some stupid Sanskrit proverb about living for today. I guess
it is romantic because they share a [first?] kiss.

I FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY LIFE
Lucy's crying still, Frank has arrived now and is trying to deal with
his pain. Marian creeps into the diner and creeps out. She is giggling
enormously outside the diner. "Lucy, there's more to come!"

THE END

Sorry so late!
