Ben asks if the three of them know of any family or friends that Grant may have that can take care of him. However, Carly says that the only family that Grant has is her...but she's so far down the line that her family considered him more of a family friend than a relative.

Gwen gets Venus's text message and goes to the door, revealing an eavesdropping Roxie. Venus barges in and demands Barbara let her call security.

Loving the Reva storyline. Keep up the good work.. I wonder who the stalker is

Barbara's assistant Venus taps an eavesdropping Roxie on the shoulder and sarcastically asks her if there's anything she can do for her. Roxie makes up a lie as to why she's listening and thinks Venus bought it. However, she's unaware of the fact that Gwen and Venus used to be childhood friends and that Venus is texting Gwen, telling her to walk to the door and expose an eavesdropping Roxie..or she will. Andy and Emily lay in post-coaital bliss, talking out their problems. Emily finally realizes that her mother is right and she needs to finally settle down and find happiness with Andy.

So....vague. But I love it!

Rain begins to pour all over Oakdale. Mike keeps Katie occupied for the night by making love, while Jason and Henry are in the garage still working out wedding details. They overcome a big hurdle when they book LeAnn Rimes to sing at the wedding, due to an old friend of Jason's who used to be a back-up dancer for her. Barbara calls Gwen into the office and begins lecturing to her about what hers is hers and what's not hers should be left alone.

They both continue to talk, unaware that Roxie is listening to every word. Grant continues to try and convince Jack that give some time, Emma will come around. Meanwhile, Andy heads out the door of his apartment to go to Kim and Bob's but is taken back when he sees Emily. In a touching scene, both Andy and Emily stand out in the rain as Emily tells Andy that she wants to grow old with him, that she wants him to be her one and only, that she wants children with him, that she wants happiness and a sense of stability. Andy scoops her up and returns the feelings by taking her back into the apartment and making love to her. Back at the Wagon Wheel motel, Susan and Emma continue to talk about the farm. Susan tells her that she should keep her money and take Mr. Hamitlon's help.

Emma calls Grant and tells him to meet her at the Wagon Wheel, but on his way there, Grant loses control of his car and goes off the road.

Andy arrives back at his apartment and gets a call from his friend Jamie, inviting Andy to come over and party with them to get his mind off of things with Emily. Andy considers it, but tells him no thanks and begins to walk out. Across town, Emma hatches her own plan to get her farm back. She tells Susan that Harry left enough money for her in case of an emergency and with that money, she can get caught up on the farm payments, though she was initially going to use the money to help Holden and Lily with the kids' college tuition. Lucy explains to Lucinda and Sierra that staying in Oakdale will do nothing but remind her of the love she once had with Dusty and the utter truth that he's now happily engaged and expecting a child with Meg, something that she failed to give him.

Meg and Dusty bond and continue to work out their trust issues. Meanwhile, Lucy tells her mother and grandmother that she's ready to go back to Williams.

Andy is shocked and yet pleased when Emily arrives at his apartment for acting so estranged towards him. Andy excuses it and apologizes for his actions. Both agree that they need to have a heart to heart and later do so. They go to grab some donuts at Java and run into John, who tells them that he's leaving Oakdale soon for a business meeting. They turn around and run into Carly, who offers her congratulations on them getting back together. Emily wonders how Carly knew they had split up. Meg meets up with Jack at Al's Diner and the two cousins talk about Meg's life..and Jack's life. Then, they turn their attention to Mr. Hamilton and his unsuccessful attempt to help Emma get her farm back. They agree that they need to enlist the help of Luke, Lucy, Natalie, Faith, Meg, Dusty,...and Lily and Holden once they return. Together, the two cousins finalize their plans to make Emma see that they're all there for her and to try and convince Emma to enlist Grant's help in getting her farm back. Roxie panics when she can't find the designs but soon spots them on a nearby dresser in the Insteenct offices. Roxie angrily calls in Barbara's assistant, Venus, and chews her out for fooling around with Roxie's designs. Venus snaps back that she hasn't seen anyone on the office since Ms. Norbeck left earlier and then proceeds to chew Roxie out for all she's worth. Roxie immediately barges out of the office, afraid that Gwen will spill all to Barbara and upset with Gwen for ruining her perfect dream. Nancy comes over to Mike and Katie's, after agreeing to spy on the guys for Katie. Nancy walks in to a house filled with chaos. Mike is on the phone with the tailor, Jason is writing addresses for invitations, and Henry is making plans for holding the wedding at St. Luther's, which turns out to be quite a funny scene.

Meg says that she knows that Dusty and her will always have problems. As for Lucy, Meg tells her mother that she and Lucy came to an understanding and she knows that Dusty truly feels remorse for sleeping with her. Emma shares her latest news about getting the farm back on her own, and though Meg seems supportive, she later calls Jack. Grant enters the Lakeview and sits down...only to be joined by Lucinda. He announces to Lucinda that he has called her in because he knows that she and Emma have a past and that with her help, he thinks Emma may finally see things his way. Lucinda tells him that she has a lot on her plate, but promises to think it over. After Lucinda has left, Grant makes another cryptic phone call, saying that he might have an answer to their problem after all. It turns out that the person on the other end of the phone is Carly. Gwen tells Will that she thinks Roxie stole her designs. Will immediately tells Gwen she should tell Barbara. Gwen counters that though that looks to be the best solution, it's not. She laments that Barbara just recently accepted her and she's not willing to risk that over a few designs. Meanwhile, Roxie rejoices in the fact that she has fooled Gwen but when she goes to get the designs from under the couch, they're not there. Emily grabs Daniel up and sets him in her lap. She explains that she and Mr. Andy had a fight, but Susan reminds him that when you have a fight with someone, if you love them, you'll apologize to them and put all your problems with them in the past. Once Daniel is gone, Emily scorns her mother for preaching to her in front of Daniel and leaves......headed straight to Andy's.

Dusty and Meg agree that they need to postpone the wedding justa bit longer so they can work things out between them. Dusty suggests December, but Meg says no and suggests October 18. Dusty agrees and the two are soon joined by Roxie, who came over to return something Meg had lent her. Meg asks Roxie to be her maid of honor and a physically touched Roxie says yes. Lucinda informs Luke, Lucy, and Sierra that Lily and Holden are wrapping up their cruise and should be hope around the first of October. Luke leaves to meet up with Will, Maddie, and Gwen at the Oakdale hot spot, Ice. After a few drinks, Maddie carries an embarassed, but flattered Luke out on to the dance floor. Meanwhile, Gwen tells Will that she has something that she needs his advice on. Jason and Henry arrive at Mike and Katie's and tell Mike the bad news about Jason not being able to get a big name wedding planner to surprise Katie. Mike almost throws in the towel on the whole project, but Jason conivnces him that as a team, all three of them can plan the surprise wedding of a lifetime for Katie. Meanwhile, Katie asks Nancy is she's heard Mike say anything about their wedding and vents her frustration that he's been very shady lately. Andy tells his mother all about the fiasco in Chicago and how Emily won't even talk to him now. Kim says that as much as she dislikes Emily, she can tell that Andy is really in love and happy. Kim suggests Andy give Emily a little space and she'll eventually come around. Meanwhile, Susan tells Emily that she needs to understand that all men are a little touchy when it comes to endangering ones they love. Emily says she doesn't care and that she'd be happy if she never saw Andy again. The converstaion is soon interrupted by Daniel, who asks why Emily doesn't love Mr. Andy anymore.

WTF?! Chelsea just got attacked and she's wanting to seek revenge?! I don't think ANY woman in America would be THAT naive. Chelsea's such a douche! lol...

Gwen can't imagine why Roxie would steal her designs and take credit for them. She contemplates telling Barbara, but cites that Barbara's feelings towards her are a still a bit rocky and accusing Roxie of stealing her designs might be the last straw. Depressed, she returns to find Barbara and Will bonding over Will's recent circumstances. Barbara tells Will that he has nothing to fear and that he has her..and Gwen..to confide in. Dusty is ecstatic, but Meg suggests they still need to talk things over and says that they have a long way to go before her trust in him is completely restored. Dusty notes that they had set their wedding for September 29th, but due to their temporary break-up, things have gotten sidetracked. Meg agrees they should set a new date for the wedding. Lucinda and Sierra continue to make plans for Worldwide's comeback celebration. Sierra says that the crisis with James has actually increased the investor's confidence in Worldwide, leading to bigger numbers and more established clientele. Luke and Lucy come home from grabbing some donuts at Java and they talk with Lucinda and Sierra. A phone call for Lucinda leaves Sierra and Luke alone with Lucy. They tell her that they're very proud of the way she's been handling the whole catastrophe with Dusty. Lucinda returns with some good news. Carly and Jack are surprised to get a hone call from Emma, asking them to meet her at the Lakeview. Once there, they learn that she has talked Lisa into letting her borrow a suite for a few weeks until she can move back into the farm. Emma then goes on to tell them that she has made up ehr mind and is going to fight for the farm with some of Harry's life insurance. She says it's not alot, but it's enough to get her caught up on payments. Though Carly and Jack are disappointed that Emma won't be needing Grant's help, Emma seems relieved. Meanwhile, Grant makes a cryptic phone call and tells someone that everything is going according to plan.

Barbara arrives at Will and Gwen's apartment that they recently bought and in true Barbara style, lectures to Will that she would rather he and Gwen be married before moving in together. Will tells her that he's not in the mood for her constant nagging and Barbara quickly apologizes, yearning for Will to use her shoulder to cry on...regarding his recent dilemna surrounding Elaine's hit and run death. Meanwhile, Roxie comes up with a lie for Gwen, saying that Barbara took the designs with her. But after Roxie leaves, Gwen finds her missing designs under the couch and immediatly knows who has had them. Jason asks Henry for his help. Henry says that he and Mike don't exactly get along, but Jason says that they don't either. But Mike has laid all differences aside for Katie's benefit. Jason explains that all his Hollywood contacts have gone to other clients and won't hear Jason out, so he can't get a Hollywood wedding planner. Henry jokes that he's not one and wonders aloud where Jason thinks he's going to get help for planning Katie's wedding. Jason enlightens Henry that that is where they come in. Back in Chicago, Andy calls Susan to come and get Emily. On the way home, Susan tries to calm Emily down but then finds out what Andy did to Frank. Susan can't believe it either but attributes Andy's irrational behavior to him being afraid and wanting to protect Emily. For the first time, Emily begins to see Andy and Susan's side to the argument but still is completely shocked by how violent Andy turned. She tells her mother that she's never seen that side of Andy before...and quite frankly, she's scared of him. Meg returns to Oakdale and makes a b-line straight for Dusty. She tells him that after spending some time at her friend's guest house in McKinley, she has come to a final conclusion about them. However, she wants to talk to Lucy first. Meg sets off to find Lucy and she does. The two women share a heart to heart and for the first time ever, the two share some common ground. Meg wishes her well, but also tells her that she and Dusty have a future together outside of Lucy. Lucy understands and Meg returns to tell Dusty that yes, the wedding is still on.

I really like Thomas Andrew Reed...........or...................Austin Cory Reed. UKBoi had a good name choice, too.

Emma orders Carly and Grant out of her room. Emma informs them that she can get the farm back...she just needs time. Grant leaves, but Carly stays and lectures Emma on being so stubborn when all her family and friends are trying to do is help her. She says that Mr. Hamilton is her best option and advises Emma to re-think her decision that she doesn't need Grant's help. Katie is confused who Jason should be contacting, but Jason covers it up and leaves. With some alone time on their hands, Katie begins talking of how she can't wait to be Mrs. Michael Kasnoff.

Barbara does just that, but not before mentioning Roxie's fabulous new designs for Insteenct. After Barbara leaves, Gwen asks to see some of Roxie's work but is confused when Roxie refuses. Andy scolds Emily for letting Frank get to her, while Emily scolds Andy for being so brutal. She remarks that she's never seen that side of him and Andy remarks that it's the type of thing he does when someone he loves is in peril. Emily retorts that she wasn't in peril and doesn't see why he hit Frank like that. While Emily tends to Frank, Andy calls paramedics. Once the paramedics arrive, they escort Frank to a nearby hospital. Andy informs the police that neither he nor Emily will be pressing charges. After the dust settles, Andy offers Emily a ride home if she's too shaken to drive. Emily whips back that she'd rather walk through burning coals.

'InTurn's "World" Starts Turning! Fans know her as Geneva, the fiesty, emotional redhead from the CBS streaming video channel Innertube's original series 'InTurn'. Cast members and crew at "The World of Oakdale" began knowing her as "Erin" this week. While real life winner Alex will begin staking his claim on the real show sometime in late September, Geneva will be the one appearing in a 13-week contract on the "As The World Turns" fan fiction, "The World Of Oakdale". Geneva will be portraying the role of runaway "Erin Spillers" starting October 2. Erin's arrival into Oakdale can be noted as anything but calm. "She definitely brings chaos with her wherever she goes," chuckles Executive Producer and Headwriter Dusty Alford. "Erin is a good kid, but she just does what she can to support herself and if that means stabbing someone in the back and then running away with their wallet, [laughs] then she'll do it." Fans may be wondering why TPTB are bringing a newbie on board...making this the fourth or fifth new character to debut since the birth of 'TWOO'. Well, evidently, they have an aswer for us. "When I first thought of bringing Geneva aboard as 'Erin', I attributed the character to a female version of 'Henry'," says Alford. "But the more I thought about it, the more I began to think 'There's so much more we can add to this character...so why not have some family ties in Oakdale to keep her here for as long as possible.' " Alford declined to comment when asked who exactly Erin's family is or what relationship there are to her. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Express your interest in the blog...Just Comment!

Jason asks Mike how he can help Mike plan the perfect surprise for Katie. Mike elaborates that Katie has always been a sucker for romance, so he is hoping that Jason can contact some of his people and hire a wedding planner for them. Mike re-assures Jason that he'll pay for the wedding planner, but he just needs Jason to contact someone good. Katie walks in just as he finishes the sentence and asks who Jason is supposed to be contacting. Luke, Maddie, Jack, and a newly arrived Will and Gwen listen to Sam tell his story. He tells them that he had a beer or two, but saw that Will was worse off than he was, probably from the spiked punch bowl. He offered him a ride home. Elaine didn't stop at the stop sign at the corner of Fifth and Maple and not wanting to hit her, Sam swerved...but Elaine swerved the same driection. Sam tearfully confesses that he never meant to hurt anyone. He tells that after the wreck, he made Will get out of the car for fear of him getting in trouble if anyone caught Sam escaping the crime scene. Maddie, Luke, Gwen, and Will all watch as Jack escorts Sam to the police station...glad that the mystery has finally been solved. Emily and Frank bond as Frank tells Emily of how much he reminds her of his little girl, Jasmine, who died in a boating accident. Emily convinces Frank to let her go, just as Andy busts the door open. Frank gets panicky and grabs Emily, but Emily is schoked to see that Andy has a gun. She frantically tries to keep the two men from killing each other and finally gets through to them both. But at the last minute, Andy knocks Frank to the floor with the butt of his gun. Emily screams out at Andy to stop. Emma finds a note from Meg in their room at The Wagon Wheel saying that she has left town. Emma prays for her safety and the safety of her unborn child and prays that Dusty and Meg will realize how lucky they are to have one another and stop the constant fighting. Grant arrives to go over some proposals with Emma but it's all spoiled when Carly shows up. Emma immediately flashes back to Carly being the reason why Grant came to Oakdale in the first place, probably (she assumes) because Carly and Jack pity the "old maid", and she grows furious. She then orders both of them out of her room...now!

Autumn is a season of change. So much can also be said about The World Of Oakdale. After this autumn, nothing will ever be the same. The World Of Oakdale: 2006 Fall Previews The Hughes Family: This family has definitely taken a backburner in the past few months. But this fall, the Hughes family will soon find their household in chaos thanks to a runaway teen. And that's not all. That same runaway teen has familial connections to someone living in Oakdale. Andy/Emily: Andy and Emily have come through alot, but after this next stunt, Emily may not want a relationship with Andy...ever. "She's certainly apalled by Andy's actions. She's never seen that side of him before," laments Scott DeFreitas [Andy]. What exactly does Andy do that's so unforgiveable? Stay tuned. Lily/Holden/Lucinda/Sierra/Worldwide This storyline has really taken a backburner, too. But with Holden and Lily's return from their cruise and with Lucinda announcing the re-launch of her company, Worldwide....things get a bit complicated. Holden finds himself in the middle of a battle that could end in heartbreak. How will he handle it? And a surprise return at the re-launch party causes even more havoc. Meg/Dusty/Lucy: This storyline will soon be wrapping up...and in a shocking way. Will the marriage ever happen? Of course. "They love each other terribly," says Meg Wilson [Meg]. "But they have alot to overcome before they can get married." Plus, a surprise return at the wedding just might stop it from even happening. The Teen Scene: As this storyline wraps up, look for the teens to take a back seat for a while, so the show can focus on more stories. One couple will face the ultimate test of love when an intruder causes chaos in their love life...forming what we in the soap community would like to call "a love triangle". Emma/Grant/Lisa/Susan: Yet another love triangle. While Emma battles her feelings for Grant and tries to identify just what kind of feelings they are, Grant will soon catch the eye of Oakdale's resident Liz Taylor, Lisa Miller Grimaldi. Also expect Susan to join the fold of ladies lusting after Mr. Hamilton in late Autumn. "Suffice to say that Mr. Hamilton is quite the ladies' man," chuckles Jerry Douglas [Grant]. Also, expect a resolution to the story of Emma losing her farm. Roxie/Gwen/Barbara/Insteenct: Gwen finally realizes who has her designs. But she won't be getting revenge anytime soon. "She knows. But for fear of losing her job, doesn't say anything," says Jennifer Landon [Gwen]. However, Barbara soon realizes that Roxie didn't do those designs. And that is when the claws will come out. Carly/Jack: This couple was promised a meaty storyline upon return from their hiatus, but fans will just have to wait a bit longer. "I have so many stories going on that I don't have the time or the effort to write this story. Not as much as I would like," laments Executive Producer and Headwriter Dusty Alford. "Look for their story to jump start sometime at the beginning of the year." As for now, Carly will continue being a shoulder to lean on for her sister Gwen and Jack will continue hutning down bad guys. Katie/Mike/Jason/Henry: This is a love story that's never been told before. Mike recruits some of Katie's closet friends to help him plan the perfect surprise wedding for his bride-to-be. But don't expect Katie to just sit there and wonder what's going on behind her back. Mark Collier [Mike] laughs, "Katie will be snooping around every corner, wanting to find out what they're doing. After all, snooping is what Katie does best." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RUMORS: Look for two actors to leave the show in early October. Is there any chance Jessica Dunphy [Alison] and Agim Kaba [Aaron] will stick around town? According to sources, their short-term return could turn into a contract if the fans react well. Wedding bells will soon be ringing. And sources say the writers are pulling out all the stops to make this the most memorable wedding that Oakdale has ever seen. Any rumors about Spencer Grammer coming abaord the show have finally been put to rest. "Spencer is a very talented actress, but there's simply no room for her on the canvas right now," explains Executive Producer and Headwriter Dusty Alford. "Maybe sometime in the future we might bring her on, but not for the forseeable future. And lastly, online speculation says that Episode 200 will be a scripted show. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Give us your feedback! Comment on the blog!

Due to personal reasons, The World Of Oakdale will be pre-empted today. The show will also be pre-empted tomorrow due to the pre-emption of As The World Turns. The blog will return with a brand new episode on Monday, September 11th.

No offense, but I think it would be alot easier to read this thing if yall kind of summarized it. Most of the time when I go to read, I end up staying 30 minutes. LOL!!

Jason arrives at Mike and Katie's upon Mike's reuqest.

While Susan informs Bob and Kim that Emily has gone missing and Andy is on his way to rescue her, Andy arrives at Frank's trailer park where he comes across a bitter old lady named Mildred who informs him that she saw Frank arguing with his "bimbo of the week" earlier that evening. Little does he know that after Emily has come to and given Frank a mouthful, the two have actually started bonding. Luke tells Jack that he caught everything Sam told them about the night of the accident..on tape recorder. Sam is outraged and tells Jack that all of this is unlawful and he wants a lawyer. But after some slight manipulating from Jack, Sam finally agrees to come clean about the night he found Will at the party and offered him a ride home. Dusty corners Lucy and the two begin to work out their problems. Dusty apologizes for leading her on the night they made love and Lucy accepts his apology, but tells him that it all could have been stopped by her..if she had just said something..but she didn't. And she apologizes for that. She tells Dusty that she doesn't want to be a burden for him, while Dusty enlightens Lucy that she's not. He will always think of the great times they had together. Little do they know that while they're having this secret heart to heart..it's not so secret after all. Sierra is eavesdropping on everything.

Will has another flashback. He sees a male with blonde hair picking him up and setting him down in a car. A relieved yet determined Will tells Gwen what he remembers, but says he can't make out the face. Will tells Gwen that he now knows that he isn't the one who hit Elaine...but he has to find out who he rode with because whoever they are, they are the one who ran into Elaine. Meanwhile, Luke and Maddie are asked to step out while Jack questions Sam. Sam denies ever going to the party, but Luke busts in and says that he's lying and he and Maddie can prove it. Dusty asks Meg what she has to tell him that's so urgent about the wedding. Meg says that she promises not to be long, but she has to leave town for a while to clear her head. She says that she still can't quite forgive Dusty for getting Lucy pregnant as soon as he found out that she, herself, was pregnant. Dusty asks Meg if she still plans on them getting married and Meg says she doesn't know, but promises to call in a day or so and tell Dusty her answer. Later, Meg arrives at a bed and breakfast and counsels herself on what to do regarding Dusty. Meanwhile, Lucy is discharged and tries to avoid Dusty. Dusty, however, corners her and tells her that they have to talk. Carly tells Grant to go back to his suite at the Lakeview and keep her posted regarding Emma. Later, Emma is pleased when Grant returns. Grant and Emma talk about what happened between them earlier. Emma tells Grant that she's an old maid now and doesn't need a mad in her life. Grant insists that she re-think her statement. Emma concludes that their love making earlier was nothing but a poor case in judgement and apologizes for leading Grant on. Grant understands and hopes that Emma will realize what chemistry they have. Emma tells him that the only chemistry they should have is that of a businessman helping an old maid getting her farm back. Grant leaves and vows to call Emma with some proposals and hopefully some good news tomorrow. Andy arrives at the convenience store that Emily tipped him off to, but Emily is nowhere in sight. Andy disguises himself as a private investigator and finds out that Emily was headed to a trailer park on the other side of town. Meanwhile, Emily and Frank arrive at Frank's house and after a comical debate of whether Emily should get out and come in with him or risk losing a limb, Emily finally agrees to come in with Frank and "see his crazy butt to bed". But befors she knows it, Frank emerges from behind her with a needle and drags an unconcious Emily into his trailer house.
