    Episode 010: THE LIGHT

    By Josh,

    The Light: Episode 010
    Thursday, November 09, 2006 Frank arrives at Josh and Reva's house to hear the idea Cassie has had about luring the stalker out of hiding! Cassie reveals that she wants to host a masquerade ball. Frank tells her it is going to be risky and that they will need a cover for the ball!

    Marina and Ben go on their college tour and decide to have lunch at a bistro in downtown Chicago.

    The women struggle with an idea and Josh suggest that they hold a benefit in Richard's name for the library that Prince Alonzo is building in San Cristobel in Richard's memory. Frank says that he likes that idea and they will have to work make sure Cassie and Reva are the hostess, since the stalker has an agenda against Reva for her role in Richard's death. Cassie says that will not be a problem, that her and Reva are now a united front!

    Blake is fixing to head out to meet Ross for lunch, but he calls and cancels. Ross tells her that he'll be working through lunch and will be home late that evening. Blake decides to surprise him at the office with a lunch. She calls Towers and orders it!

    Lillian runs into Mel as she is headed out to lunch and inquires if Mel has had a chance to tell Rick about the baby. Mel tells her that she hasn't and asks Lillian how far along she is. Lillian tells her without looking she believes 6-10 weeks. Mel thanks her and invites her to lunch, Lillian agrees but runs inside to get her purse...leaving Mel alone in the parking garage.

    Marina and Ben are going inside the bistro when she spots Gus across the street! Gus thanks his old partner for all her help...hugs and kisses her in front of a downtown hotel. She watches as the woman gets in a taxi and leaves. Marina tells Ben she wants to go home.

    Harley spots Josh at Company and she tells him Frank informed her about the ball at The Beacon. The two talk about what will happen at the ball. Harley promises that she will keep a personal eye on Reva all night long. Josh thinks back to when he lost Reva the first time and says that Harley has away of lending a helping hand when he needs it the most!

    Mel goes across the parking garage to bring her car around to meet Lillian when she drops her keys to the ground. From the back of the garage a car comes roaring towards Mel as she is standing up, the car strikes her sending Mel to back to the ground as Lillian returns!

    Gus leaves the hotel and goes two blocks down the street to the bank. Once inside he goes to the safety deposit box and empties the contents into his briefcase, then leaves!

    Lillian and a team of doctors work to stablize Mel as she drifts into a drug induced coma!

    Blake arrives at Towers to pick up her order! But she gets more than that when she spots her mother having what appears to be a very intimate lunch with...ROSS!!!

    BREAKING NEWS UPDATE:
    Cassie Recast

    <HR>

    Stillwater, OK (November 9, 2007) -- As previously reported earlier this week, Laura Wright opted to leave the role she originated in 1997 as Cassie Layne Winslow.

    Now comes official word from executive producer that former "All My Children" and "As the World Turns" actress Cady McClain will step into the shoes of Reva's sister, beginning Monday, November 12.

    "We tested several actresses for the role, but it was Cady who finally won me over with her stellar chemistry with the ensemble cast," Hawkins said earlier today.

    McClain is a two-time Emmy-winner for her work on both, previously mentioned soaps.

    McClain steps into Springfield on Monday in scenes with on-screen daughter Tammy (Stephanie Gatschet.)

    Episode 019: "THE LIGHT"

    By Josh,

    The Light: Episode 019
    Monday, November 27, 2006 Marah leaves The Beacon the morning after Tony’s memorial service and heads over to the Santos mansion, with clear-cut intentions. However once she arrives she finds the mansion completely empty and begins to wonder around…first through the living room where she finds the bar nearly empty and she flashes back to Thanksgiving…the kiss that Marah and Danny shared…followed by Marah stopping herself.

    Lillian Raines arrives back in Oakdale, Illinois and drives from the airport to Java…where she meets up with her longtime friend, Dr. Susan Stewart!

    Blake meets Harley and Cassie at Company and tells the women about her suspensions about her mother and Ross. Harley asks Blake if she really thinks Holly would be sleeping with Ross and Blake says that she doesn’t want to believe it, but thinks turn about is fair play. Cassie asks what information Blake has to back up her suspensions and Blake tells her what she know so far…

    Ed is running rounds at Cedars when he bumps into Mel who is doing the same. Ed inquires as to how Mel is feeling and she assures him she is fine…but after he leaves she rubs her stomach and begins to cry.

    Reva and Josh are at the police station finishing some paperwork with Frank regarding Roxie’s transfer back to Oklahoma. Reva says that her, Hawk and Johnny have found a more secure hospital…Frank says that Danny hasn’t decided whether or not to press charges against Roxie, just as he is arriving.

    Marah is in Tony’s bedroom…sitting on his bed thinking about them together, during their happier times. She is overcome with emotions as she begins looking through his closet…she is overcome with grief and she leaves, running past Danny’s bedroom where she woke up the morning of the memorial service. Marah flashes back…she remembers Danny carrying her there…laying her on the bed…she took her clothes off and came on to him…but her refused her…

    Danny explains that he’s thought about what Tony would want…and that he would not want Marah’s aunt to be in jail and that Tony died doing what he promised Marah and Josh he would do, protect Reva. Danny tells Frank that he does not want to press charges.

    Lillian and Susan talk about their respective lives…Susan tells her about Alison and Aaron in Seattle…Hal’s death and Emily’s decent into madness. Lillian sympathizes with Susan and informs her about her own woes with Beth. Susan tells her that is enough about that and surprises her with a dinner invitation for the two of them with Dr. John Dixon.

    Harley tells Blake that she should hire a private investigator to track Ross, but Blake says that seems so underhanded and sneaky, to which Harley reminds her she is Roger’s daughter. Harley tells Blake that her PI is one she trusts, even though he’s loud and full of himself he does get the job done. Harley gives her the card and jets off.

    Danny returns to the mansion to find Marah waiting for him…Marah questions why he didn’t tell her that nothing happened between them. Danny says it didn’t matter, but Marah assures him that it did. Danny asks her to leave so he can be alone, which she agrees…before she goes, she tells Danny that she blames Reva for Tony’s death and that she is moving out of the house, unaware of what Danny has just done!

    The Guiding Light: Episode 055
    Monday, March 19, 2007
    Written By: Josh Hawkins & Dan Gobble

    **********

    Lucy raced back to the embankment and looked down, “Can I get some help over here! Someone…my aunt is down there…”

    Almost in slow motion Lucy turned back and looked down and with in mere seconds she heard it first…then saw the car burst into flame, “Oh my God…oh my God!”

    “ALEX-AN-DRA! ALEX-AN-DRA!!!!”

    **********

    Holly looked out her window at Hollybend and saw Ed’s car pull in the driveway, she smiled and thought how winter was sticking around much longer than it usually did.

    “Come in out of that cold.” Holly rubbed her arms, shut the door and kissed Ed, “Can you believe this weather?” She took his coat and scarf, “Unbelievable if you ask me, my co-editor wants to run it as the headline in the morning, record low temperatures. Just haven’t been feeling all that well, these darn migraines just won’t leave me alone.” She chuckled.

    Ed shook his head, “Well my daughter’s life is crumbling to the ground at the moment and there is not one damn thing I can do about.”

    **********

    And Now "The Guiding Light"
    Opening

    **********

    Alan-Michael rubbed his forehead and looked over the massive mountain of papers on his desk. Lucy’s framed pictured stared back at him, her telegram resting nearby. The majority of the pile was manila folders and memos from board members regarding the Cedars project.

    “Doesn’t look good from where I’m standing.” Phillip announced.

    “Then turn around and leave.” A-M suggested, “I don’t remember asking you to stop by.”

    “Believe it or not Alan-Michael, I’m not the enemy here.” Phillip replied, “I thought we actually made some headway the other day at Olivia’s.”

    “And we did. We’re brothers and that will never change, but when it comes to Spaulding Enterprises we have to be nothing but business associates, family relationships aside.”

    “This is a company built on family.” He reminded.

    “You sound Alan. This may very well be a family company but it is only that when convenient for those involved.”

    “And what the hell is that supposed to mean?”

    “Don’t act like you don’t know. I have butted heads with you, fought tooth and nail for one ounce of respect from him and I’ve never gotten it? Why do you think I went to Europe in the first place?”



    Phillip shrugged. “I couldn’t win here…but Aunt Alex she sees something in me that Alan never has and I’m beginning to think never will.”

    “You’re very paranoid Alan-Michael.” Phillip told him, “I just came in to see if you needed some assistance with the Cedars project.”

    Before A-M answered his secretary buzzed, “Mr. Spaulding the driver is here to take you down to the docks. Should I tell him you’ll be a few minutes longer?”

    “No Ava, that won’t be necessary, Phillip and I are done here!” He looked over the massive pile on his desk, “If you want to help out Phillip you could go and take care of the shipments that are coming right now.”

    “Why would do that?” He questioned, “That is after all Aunt Alex’s division and seeing as she trusts you so much…” Phillip grinned and made his way out of the office and to the elevator.

    “Mr. Spaulding the driver is waiting.” Ava buzzed again.

    “Fine.” He sighed as he crammed his briefcase with the documents, “Ava have my calls forwarded to my cell phone and try to get my damn wife on the phone.”

    **********

    “Michelle? What’s the matter?”

    “Nothing that Maureen couldn’t handle. You remember awhile back, I told you I failed her, I just had no idea how much!”

    “Ed…”

    “Don’t ‘Ed’ me Holly. I spent all those years off tramping through Africa and helping other people…when I should, when I should have been here in Springfield raising my daughter, maybe then she wouldn’t be in this mess.” He drew a deep breath and ran his fingers through his thinning hair, “You know I bet Maureen is spinning in her grave right now…”

    “Oh well now Ed, that’s pushing it. Maureen is doing no such thing, she knows how much you love Michelle. Now sit down…I have some coffee and you’ll tell me what’s going on here.”

    “No, no coffee Holly. It kept me up half the night and the other half was worrying about Michelle.”

    “Ed?”

    “She’s pregnant!” He finally revealed.

    “Ed…that’s wonderful…” Holly said but saw the look on his face, “What’s the matter? Is the baby all right?”

    “The baby is fine, but my daughter doesn’t know if Bill Lewis or Danny Santos is the father.”

    “Well that does pose quite the problem.” Holly replied, “What is she going to do?”

    **********

    Lucy frantically looked around as the rain began to let up, “Anyone! Someone help me!” She screamed out and then started down the embankment herself.

    Two EMTs rushed after her, “Ma’am…ma’am you can’t go down there.”

    “My aunt is down there and damn car just exploded, so either you go down there or am I!” She yelled.

    Within seconds Lucy found herself looking down at three EMTs and five firefighters running towards the car, “Alexandra!” She cried softly and jumped when a woman touched her shoulder.

    “Sorry to frighten you, but we’re going to transport your sister now. Would you like to come with us?”

    Lucy sat in shock for a moment, “My aunt’s car exploded…I don’t know…”

    “Ma’am…” the woman squatted down beside Lucy, “What’s your name?”

    “Lucy Spaulding.” She answered her eyes still on the roaring blaze, “Lucy Cooper-Spaulding.”

    “Okay Mrs. Spaulding I can assure you my guys are going to do everything in their power to help your aunt. But it would help us if you went with your sister to the hospital. Okay?”



    Lucy shook her head yes, “Alexandra. Her name is Alexandra and she’ll answer to Alex.” She headed towards the ambulance where Harley was waiting, “My car’s a rental.”

    “Don’t worry about that. One of the officers will bring to the hospital for you and we’ve placed your personal effects in the ambulance.”

    Lucy climbed into the back of the ambulance and took Harley’s hand…the doors slammed and Lucy questioned, “How, how is she?”

    **********

    Shayne looked around the docks, the lighthouse light circled in the dark water and in the far distance he could see the light of an approaching ship. He reached into his back pocket and quickly sent a text message to Derek.

    ‘Are you here?’

    Within seconds of it having been sent Shayne heard the familiar voice behind, “Hey stranger!”



    Shayne’s smile fell for the first time that night and he turned to see Derek before him, “Hey yourself.”

    In the black Cadillac sedan A-M attempted to make something of the unfamiliar papers he had brought with him but decided he would work on them later and telephone the office. “Ava have you had any luck finding Lucy?” A-M waited for her response but cut her off, “No you can’t leave…how about you leave when you find my wife.”

    “Mr. Spaulding about five more minutes and we’ll be at the docks.” The driver announced as they sped down the highway.

    **********

    “She wants to have an DNA test, but she’s seven months along.” Ed’s eyes showed more than his words could ever express, “If Maureen was here she would know just what to do, what to say and…oh who am I kidding, if Maureen were here I wouldn’t be in this predicament to begin with. I told Michelle we would talk with Claire and see what she thought, but now I just think that is a bad idea...”



    “Let her have the damn test Ed!” Holly shouted at him stopping him mid-sentence. “I’m so sorry…” she began to apologize, “I don’t know what came over, Ed, please forgive me.” Holly pressed, “You’ve been so good to me lately and had no right to yell at you.”

    Ed remained speechless for a moment, “I suppose I was carrying on a little too much.”

    “No, no not at all. I had to right to raise my voice at you. Will you forgive me?”

    “Of course.” Ed answered, “I just don’t know what to do with Michelle.”

    “I know you don’t and I’m sorry but maybe what you need to do is let her go, unfortunately you did miss those formative years but if you let her go out and make her own mistakes and do what she wants to do, then I think you’re relationship will be so much better off.” Holly told him as she lightly stroked his cheek, “Does that make sense?”

    He took her hand and kissed it, “Of course it does. You know exactly what to say to calm me down, thank you.”

    Holly shook her head, “No thanks needed, it works both ways.”

    “Have you had dinner?”

    She shook her head, “Clarissa and I had a pizza earlier tonight, Blake said she was wanting to see grandma.”

    “So the two of you are at least talking.”

    “Talking, in some form yes.” Holly forced a smile, “I’m tired and I still have a few articles I need to edit, why don’t I give you a call in the morning. Maybe have breakfast at Company?”

    “Sounds nice.” Ed headed towards the door, “Have you been able to keep your migraines under control?”

    “Of course, I would let you know otherwise. I’ll talk to you in the morning.” Holly shut the door and locked it behind him. She walked across the room turned the lamp to dim, just enough light to fill the room. Holly wrapped herself in a blanket on the sofa and listened to the howling wind rap against the window.

    **********

    Lucy sat in a hospital ten times smaller than Cedars, drinking stale cold coffee with a blank wrapped around her and her cell phone. She was debating on waiting to see what the EMTs told her about Alexandra before calling Springfield.

    A doctor in his late 50s came out of the emergency room, “Are you Ms. Cooper’s sister?”

    She sat the coffee down and the blanket fell to an empty chair, “Lucy Cooper-Spaulding and you are?”

    “Dr. Keith.” He introduced himself. “You’re sister has severe head trauma from the accident. Luckily for us though she didn’t suffer any burns from the explosion. However,”

    “However?”

    “Mrs. Spaulding, your sister has slipped into a coma. At this point it’s a good thing?”

    Lucy shook her head, “It’s good that she’s in a coma?”

    “To an extent, yes. Her body is letting her heal, it just depends on how long she remains in that state.” Dr. Keith patted Lucy’s knee in an effort to reassure her, “I’m sorry I don’t have more news.”

    “How long should she stay like this? I mean in a state that you think is good?”

    “A few hours, a few days. Each patient is different. Again I’m sorry that I don’t have more news.”

    “Do you um, have a telephone I can borrow? I can’t get a signal and I need to call my father.”

    “Of course, follow me.”

    The two walked over to the nurse’s station and were about to dial the number when two uniformed officers and the EMT from earlier entered, “Mrs. Spaulding…”

    **********

    “I can’t believe you are really here.” Shayne gave him a little push, “Last time we talked you thought you were going to enroll at the University of Minnesota.”

    “Change of plans.” Derek smiled, “You don’t seem very excited to see me.”

    “Of course I am.” Shayne defended, “It just would have been I don’t know nice to know you were coming.”

    “I wanted it to be a surprise.” Derek confessed.

    “Well you succeeded…” Shayne answered as Derek reached up and kissed him softly on the lips silencing Shayne.

    The two pulled away without a word between them…

    “And it’s all here?” Alan-Michael asked, “You sure because I was reading in the car over here that Alexandra had problems with the last shipment.”

    “Everything is here Mr. Spaulding that I can assure you.”

    “All right go ahead and lets get it off the boat.” Alan-Michael walked the length of the dock and tried to telephone Ava once more.

    “Alan-Michael Spaulding’s office.” She answered.

    “Ava it’s me.” He answered as he peered below the dock…

    “What the hell was that?” Shayne asked.



    “Was I wrong in assuming?” Derek retorted, “Shayne…I just thought…”

    Shayne didn’t let him finish this time and moved in for another kiss…this one much longer.



    “I have to go.” A-M ended the call and aimed the cell phone in the direction of Shayne and Derek, “I think you just solved all your problems Alan-Michael.” He said with a devilish grin.

    **********

    Lucy spun around and saw the look on their faces. She knew immediately and began to scream out, “NO! NO!!”

    Tears filled her eyes and she reached for Dr. Keith, “Alexandra…”

    “I’m so sorry Mrs. Spaulding but there was no way…”

    Lucy could barely breath, her knees gave way without warning and she collapsed, “She’s dead? Are you sure?”

    The EMT shook her head, “I’m so sorry Mrs. Spaulding, but there was no way your aunt survived that explosion.”

    :Fades to Black:

    - Lucy is devestated regarding Alexandra!

    <HR>

    (Tulsa, OK) - September 9, 2007 -- After weeks of silence and no regular posting the Executive Producer of "The Guiding Light" has broke his silence.

    "It has been a trying time the last few weeks," Hawkins stated earlier this weekend from the studios of the SONBC blog. "There has been some interest in reprising an earlier project that I created in 2001 plus other backstage shockers."

    Hawkins confirms that co-Head Writer Dan Gobble has stepped down from the post he's held since December 2006. "Dan did approach me earlier this week and express his desire to step down as my co-head writer," the EP confirmed.

    Gobble who joined and led the writing team during his nine month stint crafted such stories as Roger's Death, Holly and Ed's Breakup and was key in luring back Bethany Joy Galeotti back as Michelle Bauer earlier this year and casting Ben Hogestyn as Shayne Lewis.

    "Officially Dan will no longer be credited as co-Head Writer, however he has written a lengthy storyline for Spaulding Enterprises and other key stories. Dan is first and foremost my friend and valuable member of this creative team, without him the last nine months I do not know what direction the soap would have taken," said Hawkins. Gobble retains the title of "Senior Storyline Consultant" effective immediately.

    The show will continue, eventually. Stories are being tweaked and motified to benefit readers and work around a solo head-writer schedule. "I am committed to telling the stories of the great people of Springfield," Hawkins confirmed. "Daytime is in such a terrible place as a lifelong viewer of "Guiding Light" I think this is the way the stories should be playing out."

    Gobble's presence will still be seen and heard in each episode. "Dan's left a mark on The Guiding Light and it is one that will not fade away into the night."

    What if it happened differently? Inspired by others here at the board, mainly King's 'DAYS' blog I have decided it would be fun to go back to a point in time when 'GL' was good and go from there telling a fan-fiction based story.

    So that's what I have done, beginning soon I am going back in time (just say that I stepped into Reva's painting) and I am going to tell a brand new story. How far back you ask?

    February 28, 2003 is where the real GL stories stop and my stories begin. So I hope you check back often and enjoy the ride of "The Light".

    Sincerly,
    Josh

    Cassie says that she has to find Danny and Frank tells her that they are going to take Tony to Cedars and that she should find Danny and tell him what happened. Cassie says she will, but asks what is going to happen with Roxie and Franks says that they will put her in jail tonight and deal with her the next day.

    Rick explains that someone hit her with a car and the doctors put her into a drug related coma so that her body could heal, which apparently it has done. Mel places her hand over her stomach and says she saw the woman who hit her...as Harley arrives with a picture of Roxie Shayne.

Blake asks Harley if the PI is going to show up like he promised her on the phone, Harley assures Blake that he will and that he'll take her case...if Blake brought the money he asked for on the phone earlier. Blake says that she did and the two friends wait. While they wait, Blake voices her fears to Harley and wonders what she'll do if Ross is indeed having an affair with her own mother. Before Harley can reassure Blake that everything will work out, the PI arrives...


    In Oakdale, Illinois...Susan and Lillian go into Memorial before Lillian leaves to head home to Springfield.

Her father inquires as to when Marah plans to move back home and she says that she doesn't know quite yet if she's ready. Josh tells Marah that he knows Tony's death has been hard on her, but she's going to have to find it in her heart to forgive Reva one way or another and move on with her life, much like Danny is trying to do. Marah becomes defensive and says that Danny is not moving forward that he's stuck in neutral feeling guilty and pissed at Reva...which Reva overhears as she is eavesdropping at the top of the staircase.

    Susan quickly darts into an unoccupied room and Lillian questions if Susan and Kim are having problems again. Susan admits that every time she sees that woman she wants to pick a bottle of Vodka up...and smash it across her head...the women laugh and Susan says she is only kidding and they continue with their walk through the hospital.

She's angry and begins lashing out towards her father...Marah asks Josh when he is going to open his eyes and see Reva for what she truly is...just then Reva appears and asks Marah what she thinks she truly is...

Blake gives him two pictures: one of Ross and the other of Holly. She tells him she wants him to find out if her mother is sleeping with her fiancé. Henry promises Ms. Thorpe he'll get the job done!

    Marah tells Reva that she's exactly what Roxie called her the night she murdered Tony...a whore, a slut...that she has led Josh on for all these years...Marah tells Reva that she couldn't handle being a mother to her or Shayne, even Dylan and Jonathan that when the going got tough, Reva got going. Reva stands firm listening to Marah vent...but Josh refuses to listen to anymore of it and puts Marah on warning, but she progresses forward...she lashes out at her father telling him that he is no better than Reva, always searching for her...never accepting the fact that whatever Reva touched turned bad...Reva then warns her daughter, but Marah tells Josh he's not any better a parent to her and Shayne than Reva is...then all hell breaks lose...

    Lillian is about to leave to catch her plane to Springfield, when her and Susan bump into Dr. Braxton O'Dell [Jason Shane Scott]. Susan introduces him as a new intern working with her...Susan tells Braxton that Lillian is from Springfield and he recalls having met a young woman named Michelle Santos on the plane ride to Oakdale.

    Reva grabs Marah by the shoulders and slaps her daughter across the face as tears swell in her eyes.

    Friday, December 01, 2006

    Nighttime falls over Springfield as lives begin to change forever… Gus having decided to end the looming questions once and for all goes to Spaulding Enterprises where he intends to confront Alexandra! Harley unknown to him has followed, just as Vera Ginatoni [Jill Larson] is arriving at the request of Alexandra.

    Alexandra is about to leave for the mansion when Gus breaks through the door and announces that this cat and mouse game she has been playing with him all these months end tonight…Gus demands that Alexandra give him the answers he wants!

    She tells Gus she’ll give him the answers he wants…just as Harley and Vera arrive…and apparently she’ll do it in front of an audience, Alex says as she nods to Vera.

    Harley warns Alex to stop playing games with Gus…that he does not deserve this…Alexandra assures Harley she’s not playing games and that Gus’ biological mother is standing right before his very eyes…

    Without missing a beat Vera reveals that she is in fact Gus’ biological mother. Gus becomes furious and screams at Vera that nothing makes sense. He tells her he used to know who he was…where he belonged. Vera assures him that he is Joe and Angela Augustino son. Gus says that is what he used to think and pulls Harley over by his side and declares his undying love for her, but says that he can’t commit to her the way she deserves until he knows the truth…Vera glances over Alexandra’s way and she nods to go ahead.

    Vera reveals that she was a servant in the Spaulding house when they lived in Chicago and Brandon sent her to bring Alex home when she was running around Europe…Vera says that is when she and Roy Baker had sex…Vera tells Gus that Roy Baker was his father. Harley questions why she gave him up and why the grave…Alexandra explains that Roy began stalking Vera…he beat her once and she feared for the baby’s life, so she helped Vera fake her death and place Gus up for adoption…Vera goes to hug Gus…but he rejects saying that none of this makes sense and he needs time to process…he leaves as Harley warns Alexandra and Vera that if this isn’t the complete truth, they’ll have to deal with her.

    After they’re both gone Vera takes her money from Alex and asks why she is doing this. Alexandra says that when her children get close to her…they get hurt or she hurts them…much like Gus is hurting now…but assures Vera that over time the hurt will go away and it will only last awhile and not lifetime…Vera leaves and alone in her office, Alexandra Spaulding begins sobbing and breaks down!! ~COMING THIS WEEKEND~

    TGL Opening

    **********

    “Well, well, well, now the party is complete. Come in mother, by all means you’re just the person we wanted to see.” Blake ushered Holly into the living room.

    “What’s going on?” Holly asked slowly, “I could hear you yelling from the car.”

    “Good!” Blake answered, “Ross and I are having a fight…”

    **********

    And Now "The Guiding Light"


    **********

    Vanessa Chamberlain Reardon pulled open her suite door and saw her baby boy standing before her all grown up, a smile wiped across her face and she opened her arms.

    “Oh Little Bill.” She sighed as she squeezed him extra tight, “Oh I’m so happy to see you.”

    Bill kissed her on the cheek and spoke, “You realize that no one calls me that anymore, don’t you.”

    “I’m your mother honey, I’ll call you that until the day I die.” Vanessa beamed, “I’m so glad you were able to make it home before I left.”

    “Me too. You never actually told me why you’re in Springfield. Did you come back for Maureen?”

    Vanessa shook her head, “Of course. Every year. Do you want some coffee, a soda, perhaps?”

    “I’m fine, you however owe me an explanation? What is so urgent that I rushed home from Tulsa for?”

    “What has been your relationship with Michelle lately?” Vanessa asked, “Your father told me that the two of you were dating since her divorce from Danny.” She paused and recalled Michelle and Nola at the cemetery, “Honey have you and Michelle slept together?”

    **********

    "What would you gentlemen like this afternoon?" A waitress at Olivia's bar asked brothers Alan-Michael and Phillip Spaulding.

    "Scotch on the rocks for me and what are you drinking these days Alan-Michael?"

    "Scotch sounds all right by me." Alan-Michael handed the waitress his credit card, "And why don't you go ahead and open us up a tab while you're at it."

    "Of course." The waitress hurried off to get the orders leaving the two newly reunited Spaulding men alone.

    "It appears Europe agrees with you and Lucy. The two of you never looked happier." Phillip was met with an unsettling grin from his little brother, "Or is that just a front?"

    "Looks are deceiving Phillip, you of all people should know that." He smiled at the waitress as she set the drinks down and handed Alan-Michael his credit card back, "Lucy loves Europe, loves it!”

    “It’s not for you?” Phillip asked.

    “At first it was, yeah, but the novelty wears off. At least it did for me anyway.”

    Phillip shook his head and polished off his scotch, “I can imagine that your dislike for your current situation hasn’t been healthy for your marriage.”

    “Things are okay but not great like when we first married.”

    “Change of scenery maybe?” Phillip asked, “Have you and Lucy considered a move…”

    “Back to Springfield?” Alan-Michael interrupted, “You would have thought I asked for a divorce Phillip.” He told her, “Hell just getting her to agree to this visit was hard.”

    “Buzz and her family is here so why was it so hard?”

    “All of you actually. Lucy is afraid that if I step back into this world that I’ll be sucked in.”

    “And are you?”

    “I hate the European offices, Lucy knows that but she just refuses to see my point of view. I want to move back to Springfield, I want to work side by side with the rest of you, I’ve been out of touch with Springfield and the family for far too long and Phillip, you’re right her family is here. I just don’t get my wife sometimes.”

    Across the bar Olivia shoved open the door to the bar and took a quick look around. In the far corner she spotted her stepson Phillip with a dark hair man whom she seen before, but never met.

    “Who’s your friend Phillip?” Olivia purred in sexy tone and devious smile on her lips, “I’ve seen you before but I don’t think we’ve ever had the pleasure. Olivia Spencer Spaulding.”

    **********

    Lillian Raines sat her coffee cup down, “Has Alan mentioned anything about the Cedars project?”

    Beth looked across the table, “I don’t know what you’re talking about mom.”

    “Have you not read a newspaper Beth? Cedars is finally approved the much needed renovations. The board decided to offer the project to both Spaulding Enterprise and Lewis Construction a few days ago.”

    She shook her head, “I don’t know anything about it, I’m sorry. Alan hasn’t mentioned anything but I don’t see Alan much lately since Alexandra left town.”

    “I saw her the day after you and Phillip left for Las Vegas and something was not right with her, she was acting suspicious, more than usual of course.”

    “Of course.” Beth smiled and signed the credit card receipt. “You said Lewis has a shot at the project?”

    “Mm-hhm.” Lillian answered, “Oh no, I know what you’re thinking…”

    “Billy Lewis is a fine man mother. You could do worse.”

    “I have done worse. But Billy and I just friends, we’ve known one another for a very long time, end of story.”

    “Right.” Beth smiled, “For now I’m sure, but I could see something more happening there, if you would just pursue it a little more diligently.”

    “Oh yes, of course like you pursued Phillip?”

    “Don’t you turn this around on me.”

    “Oh, well of course I am, I’m your mother and that’s what I do best.” She didn’t miss a beat, “Have you and Phillip told Lizzie you’ve remarried yet?”

    **********

    “I’ll go.” Holly volunteered.

    “Oh no you won’t.” Blake informed her, “You’re going to stay right here and tell me everything, mother.”

    “Blake thinks that you and I…” Ross began.

    “Shut…your…mouth Ross.” Blake cut him off, “Not one more word. Do you understand?”

    “Blake what’s going on?”

    “Like you don’t already know?” She asked, “Are you sleeping with him? Because he says you’re not but I got some damning pictures that looks like you are, mom!”

    Holly rubbed her throbbing forehead and asked, “Sleeping with Ross? Oh God Blake, do you really think that I would do that to you?”

    “You’ve done a whole lot worse.” She reminded her, “Ross told me his version of the story, so please, by all means out with mom. Are you sleeping with him?”

    Holly shook her head, “No, Blake, I’m not sleeping with Ross. And I can’t even believe that you would think such thing. Do you honestly believe that I would inflict that kind of torture on you?” Holly asked.

    “Then explain…” Blake reached for her pictures, “explain these pictures.”

    **********

    “What?!” Bill was shocked, “Seriously? Mom? Do not tell me that I rushed home and left my job just so you could grill me about my sex life?”

    “I know how it sounds son, but I happened upon some serious information the other day and…just answer the question Bill. Yes or no?”

    Bill gritted his teeth and asked, “I’m not going to answer that, I’m sorry. My personal life, who I sleep with is none of your business mom.”

    “If she’s carrying your child son, then I’m sorry, but it is my business.”

    “What did you say?” Bill questioned, “Michelle’s pregnant?”

    “I overheard her and Nola talking at the cemetery.” Vanessa touched Bill’s arm, “Honey she said that she was unsure of who the father was, you or Danny Santos.”

    “You’re mistaken. Michelle’s not pregnant, she can’t be.” Bill muttered under his breath.

    “So you did and her…”

    “Yeah.” Bill answered, “We did.”

    “And she’s not bothered to tell you yet?”

    “No. She left a few months ago with Ed, the went to Washington D.C. and the two of us haven’t seen one since she’s gotten back.” Bill headed towards the door, “I need to get some air, I’ll be back.”

    “Bill…Little Bill.” Vanessa called after him but he kept walking and she sighed heavily.

    **********

    “Olivia this my brother, your stepson, Alan-Michael.”

    A light triggered in her head, “Of course, little Alan-Michael, I’ve seen pictures. And your father was supposed to introduce the other day at the board meeting but he had more pressing things to take care of.”

    “Yes as a matter of fact he did.” Alan-Michael replied, “Phillip’s been getting me up to speed on everything that’s been happening around here.”

    “Well your brother here is delight.” Olivia cut her brown eyes at him and smiled, “Can I buy you boys another round?”

    “No actually I think we’re fine Olivia.” Phillip answered.

    “I wasn’t talking to you honey. Alan-Michael why don’t you walk me over to the bar buy me a club soda and we’ll get to know one another, better.”

    Alan-Michael glanced at Phillip in an attempt to say, ‘Save me.’

    “We were just about to leave Olivia.” Phillip cut in, “Alan-Michael has to meet his wife, he’s married, much like you and myself.”

    “What?” Olivia questioned, her tone much different than before, “Did you say you’re married?”

    “Phillip?” Alan-Michael questioned. “When did this happen?”

    “Last week.” He answered, “Beth and I went to Las Vegas, spur of the moment and tied the knot.”

    “Well…isn’t that just icing on the cake.” Olivia muttered under her breath and walked away towards the bar. “If you’ll excuse me.”

    Both men watched the very pregnant woman walk away and Alan-Michael asked, “There’s more than meets the eye with you two isn’t there?”

    Phillip shook his head, “You have no idea.”

    “Mrs. Spaulding would you like a drink?” The waitress asked, “Mrs. Spaulding.”

    “Club soda with lime please.” Olivia replied as she watched them leave the bar. “The bitch actually listened to me…” she said under her breath, “damn!”

    **********

    Beth Raines Spaulding shook her head, “We’re not having this discussion again. Lizzie is our daughter and we’ll tell her in due time.”

    “In due time? That’s wonderful, it really is Beth.” Lillian tossed her napkin on the table, “Let me ask you something what are you so afraid of?”

    “I’m not afraid of anything mom. Lizzie just got back from boarding school and she’s adjusting to a new school, college classes at Springfield University, making new friends and I just don’t think that dumping this in her lap before she’s ready is a good idea.” Beth sipped the rest of her coffee, “And my husband happens to agree with me.”

    “Beth…”

    “Mother, we’ve had a very pleasant afternoon, let’s not ruin it with another fight about my marriage and my daughter. Please.”

    “Fine.” Lillian gave in, “But I’m just going to say this one last thing.”

    “And what is that?”

    “You and Lizzie have been on shaky ground since your relationship with Bill Lewis and I would just hate for her to find out from someone else that her parents have gotten married again and kept it from her.”

    “You worry far to much.” Beth sighed.

    **********

    Flipping through them Holly shook her head, “That’s his suite at The Beacon, his home.” She answered, “An opportunity arose for Ross to get his position back at Springfield University, I was helping him. That’s all.” Holly took a seat on the sofa and rubbed her head again, “Blake, you are my everything, my entire world. I love you so much and I would never, never…” she stood to face her daughter, “do anything to hurt you. I swear it.”

    “So…” the truth slowly began to dawn on her, “the two of you, aren’t having an affair?”

    Holly’s eyes closed and she felt lightheaded, “Blake…” she tried to speak but collapsed to the floor.

    “Oh my God!” Blake rushed to her side, “Mom! Mom? Oh my God, Mom can you hear me?” Tears swelled in her eyes, “Ross, call an ambulance. Mom!”

    IN the LIGHT: Alexandra, Lucy & Harley
    Written By: Josh Hawkins & Dan Gobble

    **********

    Harley enters the Spaulding house in Bar Harbor and sees Alexandra sitting on the sofa.

    “Alexandra! Fancy seeing you here!” Harley smirks.

    **********

    Alexandra gets up from the sofa and stares at Harley.

    “Harley, what the hell are you doing here? I know that my disappearance was sudden, but it certainly didn’t warrant you tracking me down like some bloodhound.”

    “The only reason that you high-tailed it out of town, Alexandra, was because I was getting to close to the truth. Am I right?”

    “What are you talking about?” Alex asks as calm as she can.

    “You know exactly what I am talking about, Alex. Don’t play me for a fool. Vera’s story never really washed with me. You have masterful timing though, I must say. You may have fooled Gus, but not me. So I decided to do a little digging. There is no way that her story could be true. So that leaves only two possibilities. Either you are covering for your brother. Or you are Gus’ mother! There is no other reason why you would be so eager to cover your butt”

    **********

    And Now "The Guiding Light"
    Opening

    **********

    "Oh well just listen to you Miss Harley, you have everything all figured out don’t you?” Alexandra took a drink of brandy and slammed her empty glass down. “Well you are WRONG!” She roared as thunder rolled outside and the rain began to set in.

    “I don’t think that I am.”

    “I cannot believe after all that I have done for you that you would stand have the audacity to stand here and excuse me off being a bold face liar. You are so unbelievably wrong Harley, that detective brain of yours is working overtime.” Alex looked out at the raining pouring down and her stomach turned knots. “Vera Ginatoni is Gus’ mother and that is the end of this story!”

    “That is not the end of the story and if you think that is you are even more stupid that I thought you were.”

    “I made Vera a promise to always help her, she was my friend and when she was pregnant she needed my help. And instead of barging in here and accusing me of lying you should be thanking me.”

    “For what?”

    “If Roy Baker had ever found out that Vera was alive and had a son, the trouble would have ensued and that is not a thought or opinion, it is the truth. Roy Baker was a lowlife piece of trash that would have made Gus’ life a living, miserable hell. So yes, Harley you should thank me giving him a good life.”

    “You don’t know that Alexandra. Last time I checked you could not predict the future and I’m willing to bet that you couldn’t back then either.”



    "You didn’t know that son-of-a-bitch like I knew him. He was evil Harley and not evil like Alan or Phillip, he was violent with Vera and with me. I did what I had to do to protect Vera and her baby…” Alex bordered on tears, “you have no idea what he would have done.”

    “That may very well be the truth about Roy Baker, but you’re still lying. I know you Alexandra and know what kind of person you are. You are self-centered, you are egotistical, you are greedy and you have no real friends.”

    “SHUT YOUR MOUTH!” Alexandra ordered Harley and for the first time she actually frightened her. “I don’t know what else to tell you to convince you that…”

    “Tell me the truth.”

    “Vera Ginatoni and Roy Baker, whether you like it or not are Gus’ parents, now get the hell out of my house Harley!” Alex demanded, as Harley stood firm!

    “I’m not going anywhere, because no matter how many times you say that I will know and you will know it is a lie. I’m not going anywhere until Gus knows it is a lie!”

    Alex shook her head, “Get out.”

    “Not a chance…”

    “Fine then I’ll go.” Alexandra bolted towards the front door, grabbed the car keys and through open the door!

    The rain had picked up now. Lightening could be seen in the distance over the water and the thunder roared. Alexandra had the cold rain beating against her face yet she pushed through towards the car. Inside the house Harley knew she couldn’t let her get away, not this time and not again, without thinking Harley ran after her!

    **********

    Her blonde hair dripping and soaking wet she slammed the passenger door of the car, “Get out of this car Harley.” Alexandra demanded.

    “Not on your life.” Harley retorted, “I didn’t come all this way to give up now.”

    From the back of the driveway Lucy saw the brake lights of Alex’s car shine in the stormy night and speed away, she quickly decided to follow close behind.

    “I don’t know what is going to make you understand Harley I am telling you the truth.”



    Alex repeated as she steered around the Maine hills and curves.

    “Pull over Alexandra.” Harley began to get worried, “Think about what this is doing to Gus…Alex, imagine...” She looked out the windshield…

    Lucy had finally managed to catch up with them, finally and could see the two women screaming at one another.



    “Imagine Lujack or Nick looking for you like Gus has been looking for his mother…you know that you’re not telling the truth…imagine if someone done that to one of your boys…”

    She took her eyes off the road and glared at Harley, “Don’t you dare speak their names…” Alex turned back to the road but it was to late as she car merged off the road and Alex tried desperately to bring back on the road…

    Lucy saw what was transpiring…and reached for her cell phone…

    **********

    “HARLEY!!” Alexandra screamed out, “Oh my god!”

    “Open the damn door Alex and get out.” Harley reached for her door handle and managed to throw herself out of the car as it continued to roll down the hill.

    “HARLEY!” Lucy screamed out when she happened on the scene and witnessed the car come to a stop at the bottom of the hill, “ALEXANDRA?”

    “Lucy…” Harley managed to speak and within seconds Lucy was down the embankment and was pulling her back up the embankment, she could hear the sirens off in the distance.

    “Did you call help?” Harley managed, “Alex…Alex is in the car…” were her last words before she passed out.



    “Harley…Harley…stay with me…wake up!” Lucy ordered, “Harley Davidson don’t you dare do something stupid…damnit, Harley!”

    The EMTs arrived and slightly pushed Lucy out of the way, “She’s my sister…” Lucy wiped her forehead and brought her hand down and saw the blood, “Alex…”

    Lucy raced back to the embankment and looked down, “Can I get some help over here! Someone…my aunt is down there…”



    Almost in slow motion Lucy turned back and looked down and with in mere seconds she heard it first…then saw the car burst into flame, “Oh my God…oh my God!”

    “ALEX-AN-DRA! ALEX-AN-DRA!!!!”

    **********

    Hope Bauer walked slowly down the corridor of the Spaulding Mansion and as she inched closer to the study the air filled with familiar scent.

    She appeared in the doorway and stood for a moment. Alan sat at the desk his back to the door puffing away on a cigar. “Some things never change. Isn’t that right Alan?” Hope announced her arrival.

    “Well, Hope.” Alan said in such a familiar way it sent chills down her spine, “Alan-Michael mentioned that you were here.”

    “Really? I’m surprised after the conversation that he and had the other morning.” She paused and surveyed the room, “Uncle Ed tells me that you’ve married again, I suppose congratulations are in order.”

    “I’ve married quite a few times since the last time we spoke Hope.” Alan poured himself a drink, “Alan-Michael isn’t here so what could you possibly want?”

    “Is that how you speak to all of your ex-wives Alan? Or current ones for that matter, speaking of which is the new Mrs. Spaulding home? Because I would just love to get rid of my playbook?”

    “Your what?”

    “Playbook. You know how coaches write down their plays and what works, doesn’t work, new ideas, things like that. Oh yes, I have many…many notes.” Hope tossed her overcoat and purse to a nearby sofa and tapped the side of her head, “Everything is stored right here.”

    “Hope I think you’ve overstayed your welcome.” Alan said, “I think if the new Mrs. Spaulding found you here she would be very suspicious.”

    “I’ll leave when I am damn well ready, I logged enough hours in this miserable place, besides I came here for two reasons.”

    **********

    Beth stormed into the Beacon, to the elevators and up to the master suite that she knew belonged to one Olivia Spencer Spaulding. Beth and Lizzie had just gone at one another, screaming and arguing about her decision not to tell Lizzie about the marriage. Beth knew Olivia sung like a little canary to her daughter and she be damned if she would let that scheming bitch get away with it!

    Beth stood in front of Olivia’s suite door and pounded hard against the oak wood, “Olivia you open this door! OLIVIA!” She pounded harder, “Olivia I know you’re in there. I spoke with the front desk and they just sent up room service, OLIVIA!”

    “What is all this shouting about?” Sandra pulled open the door, her hair wrapped in a white towel. “Who are you?”

    “Who am I? Who are you? And where the hell is Olivia?”

    **********

    From atop the staircase Michelle could see her entire family gathered around the Bauer kitchen table, it was a sight that made her smile. Robbie was sound asleep and Michelle hoped he would stay that way for a while. It would make what she was about to do a lot easier.

    Mel sat across from Rick who sat next to Ed and they all waited patiently for Michelle who had called the meeting. “Any ideas?” Rick asked in a hushed whisper in no particular direction.

    “No need to whisper Rick.” Michelle took a seat next to Mel, “Thanks for coming.”

    “Sure.” She answered, “Anytime.”

    “You all know that the divorce from Danny took a toll on me.” Michelle began, “And you warned me about getting involved with Bill so soon afterwards.” She cut her eyes in Rick’s direction. “But Rick was right, imagine that, my big brother was right.”

    “Honey…” Ed interjected, “Tell us what is the matter.”

    **********

    And Now "The Guiding Light"
    Opening

    **********

    Shayne has been in his room since he arrived home from school. Reva heads upstairs and Shayne continues chatting online.

    lewis_man: So how long were gonna wait till you told me you were in Springfield?
    university_stud: cut me a break Shayne, I barely got enrolled for the last eight weeks of class
    lewis_man: yeah so how did that work for you
    university_stud: please…like I know, my parents talk and then their money talks, not really in that order…so…
    lewis_man: so??

    “Shayne honey.” Reva knocked on the door and entered without permission. Shayne quickly closed his laptop and picked up a nearby literature book. “I’m sorry were you studying?”

    “Yeah or dosing off.” Shayne rubbed his eyes and forced a yawn, “Something along those lines. What’s up?”

    **********

    Michelle shook her head, “I’m pregnant.”

    “Your pregnant?” Ed asked again to make sure he heard her correctly, “Michelle?”

    Mel turned her head and placed her hand over her mouth. She struggled in that moment not to cry because she couldn’t, it wouldn’t be fair to Michelle.

    “How far along are you?” Rick asked calmly fully aware of the toll this was most likely taking on Mel, “Michelle?”

    “Seven months Rick!” She replied sharply, “And I heard the first time, just no one antagonize at the moment please.” Michelle drew in a deep breath, “Being pregnant is one of my least worries at the moment.”

    “What is then?” Rick questioned.

    “Well…this is embarrassing, but I slept with both Danny and Bill within a week of one another.”

    Mel rolled her eyes, “Oh my God! Michelle?”

    “Don’t look at me like that? Like I’m some common tramp…” She warned Mel, “That’s not what I need right now and if you think I’m not fully one-hundred percent aware of what is going, well then you’re mistaken, because I am.”

    Rick stood, “Mel why don’t we go get some fresh out and let these two talk.”

    Without a word Mel stood and followed Rick out of the kitchen leaving Ed alone with his daughter, “Is the baby healthy?”

    Michelle shook her head, “Of course. I’ve been down this rode before.” She lowered her head into her hands, “Daddy, what am I going to do?”

    “Oh baby.” Ed towered above her and brought her head close to this chest, “Sshh!”

    **********

    Rick finally caught up with Mel and reached for her arm, “What is wrong with you?”

    She sighed heavily, “Oh no…you really just asked me that? Your sister is pregnant with a baby and she doesn’t even know who the father is? It’s so unfair.”

    Rick took her in his arms for mere seconds and Mel shoved away, “Oh my God, listen to me. I practically just called your sister a whore, much like you did with me a few days ago.”

    “Melissanda…”

    **********

    “Then by all means get to it.”

    “You remember that woman you married a long time ago? The Hope that was weak and a doormat, that stood by and was content being your wife?” Hope shook her head, “That woman is long gone and am no more a doormat for you or any man, I am strong, fierce and independent woman that is not afraid of your or your kind.”

    “You are playing some kind of game and you’ve gotten my son involved.” Hope took a step toward him, “I don’t like that Alan, not one bit.”

    “Oh lay off the momma bear act.” He retorted, “I’m not playing any kind of a game with Alan-Michael, he’s a grown man for God’s sake Hope. And if anyone is playing games it’s Alexandra, she gave him that proxy.”

    “Oh Alan! Do you think that I’m naïve or stupid, well my darling ex-husband I am neither of those things. Quite frankly I could care less who gave Alan-Michael those proxies, Alexandra, Phillip, the Queen of England, the point is I don’t give a damn. Everything ties back to you and how Alan-Michael has worked his entire life to win your approval.” She walked over and collecting her overcoat and purse, “So when are you finally going to give to him? What more does he have to do to get the attention and admiration you’ve given to Phillip his entire life? He’s risked everything this time Alan to come back here and fight for one ounce of your approval and it could very well cost him his marriage.”

    **********

    “You know I was just telling Holly a few days ago how I much I’ve let you down these last few years, not being around.”

    “Stop it.” Michelle ordered him, “That has nothing to do with this daddy.”

    “I know it doesn’t but still you can’t blame me for thinking that…”

    “Daddy!”

    “Okay. Have you told the men in your life about this development?”

    Michelle shook her head, “Last night. It was a grand event, truly. Danny and Marah who by the way are a couple now got mine and Bill’s room by mistake. One thing led to another and by the end of the night I was sitting in corner of a Beacon suite crying because, yes the men in my life know the truth.”

    “All right.” Ed sighed, “Then what do you suggest we do next?”

    “I talked to Bill earlier, he wants a DNA test immediately.”

    Ed rubbed his forehead, “You said you were how far along?”

    “Seven months, the babies due in May.”

    “Michelle…an amnio DNA test this late in the pregnancy is high risk, I would highly advise against it.”

    **********

    “Mrs. Spaulding is not in the hotel, she’s already gone for the day. Again I’ll ask, who are you?”

    Beth looked her over and took a step back, “I’m…I’m sorry, what did you say your name…was? You look so familiar.”

    “My name is Sandra and I’m Mrs. Spaulding’s new administrative assistant. I just moved here to Springfield and she was kind enough to put me up in her suite.”

    “One thing that Olivia is not is kind.” Beth shook her head, “My name is Beth Raines-Spaulding. When you see Olivia tomorrow tell her I was looking for her please.”

    “Of course. Have a good night.” Beth walked towards the elevator as Sandra watched her intensely, “It was a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Raines…I’m sorry, Mrs. Spaulding. I am just so terrible with names.”

    **********

    “Nothing much. Your dad and I were heading out to meet Billy. The two of them are going to have a working dinner, you should come with us.”

    “Oh…”

    “I know, it’s okay,” Reva lowered her voice, “I don’t want to go all that much either.”

    “Sounds like the three of you are going to have enough fun with me, so I’ll pass.”

    Reva blew him kisses, “Okay then you study and if you go out make sure to lock up.”

    “I always do.” Shayne waited till she was gone and then opened the laptop.

    university_stud: um hello….Shayne????
    lewis_man: sorry my mom popped in.
    university_stud: awe fun! So what are you up too?
    lewis_man: nada…my parents just left…what `bout you?
    university_stud: bored out of my mind! So…could we maybe meet tonight, somewhere private?
    lewis_man: your apartment.
    university_stud: no…this place is a mess…
    lewis_stud: okay, then. how about the docks by the lighthouse, half an hour
    university_stud: okay, see you then.

    Shayne shut off his laptop, grabbed his backpack and headed towards the door, off to meet Derek Bowden for the first time since they last saw one another in Minnesota.

    **********

    “Don’t, just…please don’t!” She sighed, “I am having enough trouble wrapping my head around Michelle and us…I just think it would be best if I stayed with my parents a little while longer.”

    “You are my wife Mel!” Rick reminded her.

    “And you think I need to be reminded of that?” She retorted, “Maybe I should remind you of something, I miscarried your child because one of your crazy ex-lovers decided to wreck havoc upon my life. I stood by for days, weeks and months while you and Harley played house, I stood by you when you were dying, so don’t you dare remind me that I am your wife and don’t you even dare put me in a position where I will have to look at your sister with hate and anger. I am staying with my parents until I can come to terms with what I have lost.”

    **********

    “So I’m supposed to wait? Two more months, I have to know who the father of this baby is I’ve kept this secret too long, I need to know.”

    “My advice as a doctor and more importantly as your father is for you not have this DNA test. We can talk to Claire and try to pinpoint the date of conception. That’s the best I can suggest Michelle, but it’s really up to you.”

    **********

    “He’s a grown man, Hope.”

    “Alan! Really? You’re a grown man and you still make stupid, irrational, cold and heartless decisions, but not with my son. Are you listening to me? Because I will only say this one time, if you hurt my son, if you cross my son if you so much as look at him cross eyed and he tells me about, so help you God in Heaven you will have to deal with me.” She walked towards the study, “And it’s not threat or warning. It’s a mother’s promise.” She winked, took her leave and called out from down the hall, “Goodnight Alan, sleep tight.”

    Graduation night for the Senior Class of 2007 has finally arrived, as the auditorium begins to fill up Shayne, Marina, Tammy and Lizzie stand by their lockers for final time. Shayne silently thinks back to the haunting words he saw the day before. Lizzie says that she is so glad that somehow, dispute everything they came together this year and became best friends. The group share one final group hug!



    At Towers, Trevor Bowden sets down at a small corner table. The place seems deserted that evening and he questions if the place is usually this dead. The waiter informs him that it’s graduation night at Springfield High.



    Meanwhile, at the Bauer house Ed and Rick are in the kitchen rushing a very pregnant Michelle and Mel out the door! Hope appears from upstairs and questions where the family is headed off to in such a hurry. Ed explains that Tammy Winslow is graduating from high school and that they all thought it best to go and show their support to her and Cassie. Ed invites Hope to attend but she says that she has other plans and leaves.




    Hope steps off the elevator at Towers and crosses the dining room where she finds Trevor waiting for her. He speaks, “Well aren’t you a sight for sour eyes? It’s been a long time Hope.” She is taken back when he kisses her. After awhile of small chitchat between the two a third dinner guest arrives, “Hello son.” Hope smiles as she embraces Derek, “You’ve kept your father and I waiting.”



    Derek sits down as it is revealed through dinner that Hope is Trevor’s ex-wife and that she has another son in addition to Alan-Michael!



    As the students are preparing for the processional Phillip and Olivia, despite Lizzie’s wishes arrive at the graduation. Olivia sees his daughter there in her cap and gown and whispers to him, “I’m going to go.” When he urges her to stay Olivia assures him that she’ll be all right and that with Alan and the mansion empty it is the best time to proceed to the next step in their plan.

    At the back of the auditorium Michelle is becoming restless and complaining that she’s not feeling well, as Tammy is finishing up her Salutatorian speech Michelle informs Ed that she’s going into labor! Ed insists that Rick and Mel stay as he heads out with Michelle, catching the eye of both Danny and Bill!

    “I worried for weeks about what I would say when I got up here tonight,” Shayne began his speech. “High school is about going from young adult to adult, preparing for college, but more importantly it’s about the relationships we build here and the ones we take away from this place. Tonight our lives will change like never before, it’s the friendships that mean the most. I encourage my fellow classmates to find what you loved about this place and hold on tight to it because never again will you have the opportunity to have what you do right now. We thought this moment would never come, but it’s here and as we go on we remember the times we had together…”

    As the Superintendent of Springfield Public Schools began calling out the names for the diplomas, Michelle Bauer burst through two double doors at Cedars on a stretcher, clinging tightly to Ed’s hand.



    “Marina Nadine Cooper.”



    “Joshua Shayne Lewis.”



    "Elizabeth Lillian Spaulding."



    "Tammy Nicole Winslow."




    As their graduation caps went flying into the air, Michelle delivered a baby girl!

    STILLWATER, OK - The Guiding Light fan-fic, "THE LIGHT" has finally rounded out the stellar cast with a shocking round of hirings and firings.

    "I had three characters that I wanted to bring back." Says Executive Producer, Tyler Miller, "Two of these characters will propel a new and exicting story for a core Springfield family, while the other is a short term player."

    Colleen Dion (ex-Felicia, B& joins the cast in a yet unnamed role. "Dedicated "GL" fans will recall Dion's original stint on the show as Ramona in late 2003. However, since 'The Light' fan-fic begins in February 2003 so she never aired on our series. "Dion's character will be a huge turning point in a key storyline and she will not be playing Ramona." Assures Miller.

    A stunning recast recently shocked the cast and crew...



    During the first three episodes Nancy St.Alban will take the character of Michelle out of Springfield, paving the way for Christie Clark (Carrie, DAYS) to assume the contract role. "We originally brought Christie into read for another role during the original casting of the fan-fic, but she just didnt' fit what we were looking for and the decision was made to take the "Michelle" character into a completely different direction." Shares Miller.

    In addition to the casting above, two high profile actors are set to join the lineup. Multiple Emmy nominated and two time winner, Heather Tom (Kelly, OLTL) and co-star Dan Gauither (Kevin, OLTL) are set to join 'TL' cast after leaving their current home at "One Life to Live."

    "The availabilty of these three actors were amazing for my show and future storylines." Shares Miller. Who goes on to reveal that Tom will be portraying the role of Lucy Cooper Spaulding, daughter of Buzz and wife of young Spaulding heir, Alan-Micheal, which is the character Gauither will be playing.



    "Lucy and Alan-Michael were both favorites of mine and I think the current Guiding Light regime have ruined the character of A-M by pairing him with former step daughter, Marina. He is simply a new character with an old familiar name." Shares Miller. "Interweaving Lucy and A-M into my Springfield canvas was simple." Tom first appears in mid-November. Gauither however, will be appearing much later, in February 2007.

    In final casting news, David Andrew MacDonald has been given his walking papers in order for the new hirings to come into play. "Edmund's story has been played out for a very long time and we will not be telling a Cassie and Edmund storyline. After Richard died, there was no purpose for Edmund any longer." Shares Miller. MacDonald's last airdate is mid-October.

    Finally, "The Light" premieres Monday, September 04, 2006 and will air on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, here exclusivly on The Soap Opera Network Blogs in narrative/recap format.

    By Josh,

    The Light: Episode 009
    Monday, November 06, 2006 Phillip and Alan are both still angry that Alexandra was able to swing so many votes at the board meeting. Phillip encourages Alan to look on the bright side of things, at least a majority of the family voted with them, however Alan still feels betrayed by the board members who swayed the vote. The men stop talking business when Olivia enters the room.

    Cassie arrives at Reva's and inquires on the kids in Minnesota. Reva tells Cassie that Billy just called and they are settling in all right. Reva tells her that Bridget has taken the girls shopping. Cassie says that they have got to figure a way to lure out Reva's stalker and she thinks she knows exactly how to do it!

    Mel is working the ER at Cedars when Judith arrives complaining of chest pains. Mel quickly puts her in an observation room and begins to exam the woman. Judith is very chatty about Mel's life as a doctor and woman, Judith inquires if Mel is married and she says she is to Dr. Rick Bauer. Mel is then called away, leaving Judith alone in the examination room.

    Alan is called away from the breakfast table leaving Olivia alone with Phillip. He questions when she decided to move back into the mansion and Olivia tells him that her and Alan worked things out and decided to give their marriage another chance. Olivia finally reveals to Phillip that she is carrying Alan's child. Phillip questions if the baby could be his and Olivia assures him that they used the proper protection the night they made love. Before she leaves, Olivia tells Phillip that she has seen the error of her ways and now knows that Phillip never loved her the way she should be loved, the way Alan loves her...Olivia tells Phillip that the only woman he'll ever love is Beth!

    Lizzie is having breakfast in Ben's room at Towers and reads the headline in the paper, "Alexandra Spaulding Remains CEO" and wonders if the family can recover from this blow. Lizzie thinks back and blames herself for even bringing Alexandra back into the fold of things and decides it would have probably been best had she stayed away at boarding school.

    Outside at the nurses station, Lillian and Mel are discussing Judith's case and how she is showing no signs of a heart attack and before Mel can predict what is actually wrong with her she collapses to the floor.

    Gus calls in a favor from an old friend at the Chicago Police Station. He tells his friend that he needs to some information on locating a bank that would house a safety deposit box under the name Roy Baker. The friend tells Gus that it will take some time, but it is likely that he'll get the information he's looking for.

    Marina goes to Ben's suite and he quickly works to hide Lizzie away...Marina asks him if he would accompany her to a campus visit at Chicago State University and he agrees but quickly pushes her out the door. Once she's he asks Lizzie for some money and promises that he'll her do whatever it she needs to bring the Spaulding family back together.

    Lillian comes back and tells Mel that she has both good and bad news, as Judith listens outside the room: Lillian tells Dr. Bauer that she is suffering from fatigue and that it cannot be good for the baby! Mel is shocked to learn that she is pregnant and begs Lillian not to let Rick find out. Lillian agrees!

    Episode 011: THE LIGHT

    By Josh,

    The Light: Episode 011
    Thursday, November 09, 2006 Mel has now been in her drug induced coma for two days. Rick is keeping a vigil at her bedside, when Lillian arrives. Out in the waiting room Judith arrives and spies on them.

    With Gus still in Chicago, Harley is forced to go on without her partner during the ball. As she is going into Reva and Josh's house, she checks the mailbox for that days mail, which has become a precaution the Springfield PD has done. She decides all of it looks safe and heads into the house.

    Reva and Josh are dressing for the masquerade ball and he tells her to be very careful tonight up there, that he does not want to lose her again. Reva assures him that Frank and Harley are taking every precaution to protect her.

    While the Lillian is in with Rick, the nurses station is left unmanned and Judith takes a moment to look through Mel's chart. She quickly learns that Mel was pregnant with Rick's baby and that the hit-and-run caused her to miscarry their baby. A thought that pleases her!

    Phillip arrives at Beth's suite. She asks him why he's come and Phillip tells her that Olivia said something the other day that has stuck with him. However, Beth assures Phillip that whatever Olivia said she doesn't want to hear it. Phillip says that she does and proceeds to tell her that Olivia said that the only woman Phillip would ever love, trully love was Beth. And Phillip then admits she was right...he kisses her passionately and asks to be her escort to the ball and Beth agrees!

    Josh is sorting the mail Harley brought in as Reva is finishing her make-up. He comes across the mysterious note and opens it. "You always did like to be the center of attention didn’t you? Even when you killed him it was all about you. You shall pay once and for all." He immediately calls Frank in and shows the note to Reva!

    Blake is replaying the scene from Towers, over and over in her head as she is getting ready. However, when Ross arrives to leave for the ball she pushes the thoughts of him and her mother out of her head, in an effort to enjoy the evening.

    Rick steps out of Mel's room for some coffee and Judith quickly steps in. She places what would appear to be a "Get Well" card by Mel's bed and quickly leaves...just as Rick is about to reenter the room.

    Josh advises that going through with the gala would be a bad idea. But Reva insists that they have to go through with this, she believes that this will end the stalker fiasco once and for all. Frank assures Josh, Reva and Cassie that they will all be protected, since it is a masquerade ball he can put several police officers in the room disguised who will work to protect them.

    Alone in his suite Gus prepares to open the safety deposit box.

    Rick adjusts himself by Mel's bedside and then notices the Get Well card...

    With the Spaulding mansion empty...Alexandra opens the wall safe and pulls out the bracelet. A maid announces she has a visitor. Alex thanks her and orders the servants to take the night off...

    Episode 013: THE LIGHT

    By Josh,

    The Light: Episode 013
    Wednesday, November 15, 2006 Having been asked by Josh to keep an eye on Cassie and Reva...Tony offer his arm to escort Reva on the stage, which she gladly takes. Cassie introduces the Chairwoman of Prince Richard Winslow Foundation, her sister, Mrs. Reva Shayne Lewis...as Judith takes a place in the back of the room.

    In Chicago, Gus examines the picture and wonders who the woman in the picture could actually be. He decides to then open the journal and begin to read:





    Back in Springfield...Rick finds himself at Outskirts...where he orders a shot of strong whiskey...the bartender pours him the drink as a woman approaches from behind questioning if Rick really wants to take that drink...

    Reva addresses the crowd about what a truly wonderful man Richard and that along with his widow and her husband, Joshua a scholarship foundation shall be sat up in conjuction with the building of "The Prince Richard Winslow Memorial Library" in San Cristobel...as the crowd applauses, Judith reaches into her hand bag, clutches a gun and whispers, "This is for you Johnny."

    Alexandra tells Vera [Played by Jill Larson] that she has a contact at bank in Chicago and that Roy Baker had a safety deposit box there. Vera asks if the secret is out and Alexandra tells her it is not...yet. Vera assures her that she'll do whatever it is to help Alex protect her sercret. Alexandra thanks her and hands her an envelope and says that a suite has been reserved at Towers under Vera's name!

    Gus continues to read Roy Baker's journal:


    The last entry dated nine months prior to Gus' birth.

    Vera arrives at Towers and says her name is Vera Ginatonio

    Mindy asks Rick again if he really wants to take that drink and he says that it seems like the right thing to do. Mindy tells him to go ahead, drink it...then another, then another and another. Rick asks what she is doing and Mindy says that when Mel wakes up from her coma, she'll want Rick...he has to decide where he wants to be when that happens, by her bedside or slumped over some bar drunk. Rick doesn't say anything and Mindy says that she doesn't want Rick to go down the same path Ed went down...she tells him to make his choice, kisses his cheek and leaves. Rick is left to wonder if he should take the drink or not.

    Gus decides that it's time to go home to Springfield and find more answers there...while packing up the safety deposit box another picture falls out of Roy's journal with writing on the back: "Roy and Alexandra, February 1970."

    Mindy recieves a telephone call from her secretary in Paris. She copies the number down and hangs up. Mindy dials the number and Michelle Bauer Santos answers...

    The applause at The Beacon dies down and suddenly everyone hears from the back of the room, "I baptize myself the slut of Springfield. Nothing but a common whore, a slut, a gold digging murdering jezebel. Isn’t that right Reva? Joshua? Cassie?" The entire party turns toward the woman as she pulls out a gun...Reva is frozen in the moment and whispers, "Roxanne", Cassie is pushed to the ground by an officer, Josh rushes towards Reva...as the gun is fired...police officers take Roxanne down, as Reva is also pushed to the ground, by someone other than a Springfield officer!

    Please Note: This is a fictional interview. It is for entertainment purposes only!




    SONBC: First let's discuss what is on the mind of all your fans, you leaving "All My Children" after two Emmy awards and over 30 years of dedication. What transpired?

    JB:I first and foremost have no regrets and nothing but good things to say about "AMC", however, when I was offered recurring status, I felt that I deserved better than that. There are no hard feelings towards anyone at "AMC" it was a wonderful place to call home and I'll miss it very much.

    SONBC: So full of class, dignity and grace. Can you at all talk about how you're character, Brooke will leave the Pine Valley scene?

    JB: Because I am still considered to be under contract with ABC and AMC I'm afraid that I cannot address how Brooke will be leaving the canvas, what I can talk about however is my upcoming role on "The Light" as a key player in one of Springfield's most historical families.

    SONBC: Nice segway, so yes let's talk about your new character, Hope Bauer Spaulding. Very historical role, Ed's niece, Alan's ex-wife, Alan-Michael's mother so many great connections. How did the character come about?

    JB: Well when I decided to not renew my contract word got out there and "The Light" brought me in without an audition, pitched a story and signed me within days. I'm looking forward to playing Hope, she is such a far cry from what Brooke was lately....and by that I mean active and involved in front burning stories.

    SONBC: So you did sign a contract?

    JB: Of course! With I might add the promise of a story following my introduction one that begins later this winter. I'll be interacting with entire Bauer clan, Alexandra, Alan and so many wonderful others. I am truly looking forwards to working with this crew.

    SONBC: Hope Bauer is a complex character, who has been away from Springfield for a very long time, what brings her back?

    JB: Hope is an amazing character and she returns when Ed calls her when Springfield recieves some disturbing news about Alan-Michael...all that I can really say is that my first two scene partners, Ron Raines and Peter Simon both feel the full force of Hope.

    Look for Julia Barr to debut as Hope Bauer Santos later this year.

    In "THE LIGHT" with Reva Shayne Lewis & Roxie Shayne Bauer
    At the police station, Reva and Josh arrive to find Rick waiting on them there. Reva hugs Rick and asks how Mel is doing. Rick says that she's getting better, that Michelle is with her now and Reva apologizes for Roxie's actions. Rick assures Reva that what Roxie has done is not her fault, just as Frank is arriving, he tells them that Roxie's about to be questioned.

    Reva, Josh and Rick settle in to listen as Roxie explains why she came to Springfield and stalked both Reva and Mel. Roxie begins that the love of her life, Johnny Bauer…Rick tells Josh and Reva that is his second cousin. Roxie goes on to explain that she and Johnny married in 1998, but in September 2001 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer…and that he died July 11th.

    Reva suddenly realizes that is the same day that she withdrew Richard’s life support as Roxie makes a stunning claim: “She killed him. That slut, she was jealous of what Johnny and I had…she murdered him and got away with it.” Roxanne continues to say that Johnny was in perfect health until Reva came in and pulled his life support. Rick is stunned and says that he has to talk to Frank…

    Frank leaves Roxie alone in the interrogation room and Rick reveals to him that Roxie’s story does not add up…that Johnny isn’t dead, he never had cancer…Rick says that he does still live in Tulsa and that he did marry Roxie…but the rest is all made up. Frank orders a deputy to put the call into the sanitarium and then goes back into question Roxie.

    In the interrogation room Roxanne explains no matter what she did growing up that Reva always had the attention of her mother Sarah and men. Roxie says that Reva knew how much she loved Johnny and Reva took him away from her. Frank questions why Roxanne would go after Mel and Roxanne explains that after she lost Johnny she realized the only other man she would love was her second love, Rick Bauer and she never thought Mel deserved to be with him.

    Frank leaves Roxanne and encourages Reva not to see her sister and makes a few phone calls. He soon learns that Roxanne escaped her sanitarium home, leaving Tulsa and in fact a very much alive Johnny back in Tulsa. Reva says she is glad that this is over and she does not want to press charges against Roxanne. Frank agrees, but says that it will be up to Doris Wolfe if charges are pressed against Roxanne for her role in Tony’s death. Frank explains that Roxie will be transported back to Tulsa, after the holiday.

    Rick returns to the hospital, where Mel is being released...he sets her down and tells her that Frank knows who was responsible for stalking her. Rick tells his wife about his past with Roxie Bauer and how his cousin is now married to her and how she came to get revenge on Reva and her...Mel is devestated and asks Rick where she is now. Rick tells her that Roxie is going back to Oklahoma, Rick says that he's just glad that she didn't do anymore damage than she did and takes Mel in his arms, as Mel has a flashback to learning she was pregnant and Lillian revealing that she miscarried the baby.

    Reva and Josh arrive home to find Cassie, Billy, Marah, Shayne and Tammy waiting on them. Marah says she knows that something is going on, because Billy wouldn't let her read the paper or watch TV, Marah demands to know what happened: Reva breaks the news to Marah and everyone that her stalker was in fact, their aunt Roxie...Reva's sister. Cassie says that her and Reva hosted a benefit in Richard's memory and Roxie showed up. Reva then tells Marah that Tony...protected her in more ways than she ever imagined. Reva tells Marah that Roxie shot at her and Tony took the bullet and died. Marah is devestated and storms off....as Shayne rushes after her.

    Shayne stops Marah before she drives off, he grabs her and she breaks down in his arms. Marah says this isn't fair, that she and Tony fought before she left for Minnesota. Shayne tells her that no one, but Roxie is to blame for Tony's death. Marah says she refuses to believe that, she says that Reva brought this upon herself...Marah says that she blames Reva for this...and she'll find it very hard to forgive her. Shayne holds Marah as she mourns Tony.

    And just what might that story be? Well, the inside source mentioned that Dr. O'Dell has a dark side and could share a close bond with Beth Chamberlin's character, Beth.

    Scott who was on the original short list for the character of Braxton will debut in Episode 020 as a medical intern in Oakdale, Illinois sharing scenes alongside Tina Sloan (Lillian) and Marie Masters (Dr. Susan Stewart, ATWT).
