The Guiding Light: Episode 044 Wednesday, February 07. 2007 Written By: Dan Gobble & Josh Hawkins ********** Shayne Lewis entered Company and noticed Marah sitting in a booth at the back of the restaurant. “Hey sis! Why’d you want to eat dinner here? Doesn’t the Santos mansion have a cook?” Shayne joked as he sat down. “Ha. Ha. You’re such a little twerp Shayne. For your information, the mansion does have a cook. A fine one at that.” “Probably not as good as mom’s cooking,” Shayne hinted. Marah bristled at the thought of her mother. “Don’t try to coax me back to hearth and home Shayne. I’m not going back there. Ever.” Shayne realized that he has struck a nerve and dropped the topic. “I haven’t seen you in a while, little brother. How are you doing?” Marah asked. “Everything’s great,” Shayne half-heartedly replied. “Are you sure everything’s fine?” ********** Gus Aitoro sat at his desk at the police station staring at a picture of Joe Augustino. “Roy Baker, my father?” he silently pondered. His ringing cell phone broke his concentration. He picked it up and looked at the number. “Hello?” “Nicky! It’s Eden.” “Eden! I was wondering when you were going to call me. Are you okay?” “I’m fine, Nicky. Don’t worry about me. Nicky, I’ve missed you so much.” “I have too sis. So when do you want me come get you and bring you back to Springfield?” “Actually Nicky, my plans have changed. I’m not going back to Springfield…” ********** Alan-Michael Spaulding returned home to his Beacon suite and saw his wife Lucy Cooper lying on the sofa. The sound of the closing door woke Lucy from a blissful sleep. “Hey sweetheart, I’m home!” Alan-Michael said and stooped down to kiss his wife. “You won’t believe what happened to Phillip Lucy! My brother went off and got himself married!” “Married?! To whom?” Lucy asked as she hurriedly got off the sofa. “To BETH! You’d think that after so many years, she would learn,” A-M joked. “Oh Alan-Michael,” Lucy reprimanded. “So when did they get married?” “A couple nights ago, they went to Las Vegas without telling anyone. They must have realized that no one would show up at their fiftieth wedding.” “Well, I think it’s romantic,” Lucy replied. “Yeah, I guess so. You know Lucy this really makes me glad to be home close to family. Maybe we should stay here longer…” “No, Alan-Michael!” Lucy interrupted. “I’ve made up my mind. I’m not staying in Springfield!” ********** Holly took a seat on the sofa and rubbed her head again, “Blake, you are everything to me, 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!” ********** And Now "The Guiding Light" Opening ********** “MOM!” Holly suddenly stirred and opened her eyes. “Mom, are you okay?!” Blake asked. “Y-Yeah. I’m alright. I just felt a bit light-headed.” Holly stands up and puts her hand on her head. Ross and Blake guide her to the sofa. “Mom, you scared the hell out of me! Now what is wrong?” “I’m fine, Blake. I just had a bit of a migraine. I felt light-headed and fainted for a bit. But I’m okay now.” “Holly, your migraines are back? When did they return?” Ross asked. “They returned a couple of days ago. I don’t know why. I haven’t had them for about a year, but all of a sudden they came back,” Holly answered. “Mom, why don’t we take you to the hospital and ask Ed to check you out?” “No! I can handle these migraines by myself. They aren’t as a big a deal as they were before. Now that I’ve finished trying to clear the air, what I need is to go home, take some medicine, and cuddle up in my bed.” “Mom, why don’t I drive you home?” Blake offered. “Thanks sweetheart, but no. I think I can drive home by myself.” Holly begins to leave, but turns around and looks at Blake. “Blake, try to give him a chance. He loves you. Don’t shut the door on your love. God knows, I need to learn that lesson myself.” Holly walks out, leaving Ross and Blake alone. ********** “Why would you think anything was wrong?” Shayne asked Marah “Well, a couple days ago, I talked with Tammy and she told me that you seemed a bit detached, like you weren’t interested in the things you used to be.” “Well, she’s wrong,” Shayne, stammered. “Are you suggesting that Tammy was lying, Shayne? Is there a problem at school? Is mom getting on your case? Are you having girl trouble? Shayne, you know that you can tell me if you have a problem, I’m your sister!” “God Marah, what is this Jeopardy!? There is nothing going on.” “I’m just trying to help!” Marah yelled. “Well don’t! I don’t need any help because there is nothing going on! What about you Marah? What about your life? You think my life has issues? What about yours?! I’ve never stripped down to my underwear and begged my thuggish boyfriend to rape me! I mean, God Marah, why don’t you just go jump in a fountain already and get it over with?!” “What are you trying to say?!” Marah thundered. “I’m saying that you are more like mom than you care to admit. You’re pushy, you’re stubborn, and you pry into people’s lives…” “I don’t have to listen to this.” Marah gets up from her seat and begins to walk out. “…And when the game doesn’t seem to be going your way, YOU want to stop playing…” Shayne watched as Marah charged to the door. Shayne glanced at the empty seat. “Not everything is about you Marah. I wish I could tell you sis, but you just wouldn’t understand…” ********** “Nicky, I can’t come back to Springfield,” Eden confessed. “Why can’t you?” “I got a new job in Chicago and it’s helped me to put my life back together. I think that’s what I need right now: a fresh start.” “You could get a fresh start here in Springfield…” “No, I couldn’t. Not with the entire town against me. I need to be where people don’t know me. Except you, of course, Nicky. Actually, that’s why I called. Could you come and help me move in? I can give you the grand tour. It isn’t much yet, but… I really think I can make a difference here.” “Sure, Harley and I can come up this weekend.” “Actually…I would prefer if Harley not know where I was. Could you come up alone?” “Why don’t you want Harley to come, Eden? You are going to have to see her sooner or later.” “Why would Harley want to come up with everything that has happened? It’s better if she just not know.” “Okay,” Gus reluctantly conceded. “I’ll talk to her and I’ll be on the first train to Chicago.” “Thanks Nicky.” “I love you sis.” Gus ended the phone call and wondered whether or not he should have told Eden about his parentage. ********** “I’m sorry Alan-Michael, but I won’t stay here,” Lucy argued. “Why not? Our families are here, everything we know is here. Europe is a great place, don’t get me wrong, but I always felt that there was something missing between us there. Maybe being here is exactly what we need to help our marriage?” “I don’t know. I just fell in love with the countryside. It was like a new chance to get away from all the painful memories here.” “Honey, you might have to get used to it,” A-M confessed. “I sold our flat in Europe and my father has already given my job to someone else.” “You did all this without me?” Lucy’s face turned blood red. “Why couldn’t you have asked for my input before shipping me off like one of your possessions?” “Honey, I…” “Don’t you dare honey me. You can’t stick me under your thumb like your father does. Hell, he probably put you up to this didn’t he? Well, you and Alan can go straight to hell, darling.” Lucy stormed out of the suite, while A-M tried to find the words to justify his doings. ********** Blake and Ross stare at each other, wondering who will be the first to break the ice. “Not that you know the truth, Blake. Where do we stand? What do we do now?” “You didn’t cheat on me again, Ross?” “No, I didn’t. I love you. Not Holly, not Tory, not anyone else,” Ross confirmed. “I know I should feel relieved, but I don’t. Ross, why didn’t you tell me? I could have helped. I mean, our relationship has been one lie after another, and I know that I have had more than my fair share. But I was hoping that after everything we’ve been through, we could try to tell each other everything. But I guess that isn’t possible.” Blake looked at her watch and realized how late it is. “Ross, I need to go get the kids from Cassie and when I get back, I don’t want you here. I just, I just need a little bit of time to think things through. Can you give me that?” Ross nodded as Blake puts on her coat and leaves. Ross turned to the table and picked up a family portrait. He held it up and tenderly kissed it. ********** Gus and Harley kissed and sneaked into bed. Gus tried to find the words to delicately tell her about Eden’s phone call. “Harley, I got a phone call from my sister today. She’s got a new job in Chicago that she seems really excited about. She asked me to come up this weekend to help her move in. I told her I was going to bring you along, but she said that she’d prefer you not to come. I hope it’s okay? “Oh. I guess it’s no surprise. It’s not as if Eden and I have been friendly since she came to town.” Harley flashes back to when Phillip caught her snooping around Alexandra’s office. She decides to put up a good front so that she can get closer to Vera. “I think you should go Gus. It’ll be good for you to see your sister. Don’t worry about me. With Zach home again, I want to spend as much time as I can with him.” “Well that was easy,” Gus smiled. “I thought you’d fight me tooth and nail Cooper. Thanks for understanding.” Gus and Harley kissed and turned the light off for the night. ********** Alan-Michael sat in the sofa drinking a glass of wine to drown his sorrows. Suddenly, someone knocked on the front door. A-M opened it and saw that it was a messenger with a package. A-M opened the package and read the letter: “Alan-Michael, As you know, I have been suddenly called away on urgent business and that it has left the company in dire straights. Included in this letter is my proxy, naming you as the temporary COO of the company. I hope that I can count on you. Alexandra.” Alan-Michael looked up from the letter with a smirk. ********** Next on "THE GUIDING LIGHT" - Lizzie finds out about her parents! - Ed and Holly discuss her migraines - Alan-Michael begins to assert his newfound power!

Looking forward to it!!!! And love the banner!

Thanks guys!! Glad to see you like the new format!

CASTING NEWS Teresa Hill who originated the role of Eden August on the CBS drama, "Guiding Light" will reprise the role on the next episode of SONBC blog, "THE GUIDING LIGHT." "We wanted to wrap up the Eden story that was open ended when I took over the stories so we wanted to conclude it." Says Executive Producer Josh Hawkins. Hill appears in Episode 044 which is scheduled to air on February 07, 2007. Hill's appearance is for this episode only and she is not slated to appear in any further episodes. ********** After a little over three months of airing as Michelle Bauer-Santos, former "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" starlet, Christie Clark has opted not to continue with the blog. "Christie was wonderful as Michelle and we wish that she could have stayed." Shared Hawkins, "In the end it was a mutual decision to part ways and we wish Christie the best." So what is going to happen to Michelle? "We brought back the three previous actresses who have played Michelle to retest for the role." Hawkins continued, "We wanted a familiar face to work with the cast." To that end, Bethany Joy Lenz, Rebecca Budig and Nancy St. Alban were brought it and tested with Peter Simon (Ed), Paul Anthony Stewart (Danny) and Alexa Havins (Marah) for the role. "The chemistry between Havins and Budig was there, but in the end it wasn't enough for her to win the role." Hawkins said and confirmed that in fact it is "One Tree Hill" and former Reva-clone actress, Lenz who has won the role. "Dan and I talked and fought about this for a long while." Hawkins shared, "In the end though it was Bethany who had the most chemistry with the three actors we paired her with and we look forward to working with her in the future and telling Michelle's story." Lenz begins Friday, February 09 and will have her own, "IN the LIGHT" next week.

Awes...okay!! There being two Lukes is an interesting idea though!!

The Guiding Light: Episode 043 Tuesday, February 06. 2007 Written By: Dan Gobble & Josh Hawkins 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!” ********** Next on "THE GUIDING LIGHT" - Ross and Blake worry about their relationship and Holly! - Alan-Michael makes takes a drastic step! - Marah and Shayne have dinner.

I must have missed something...Luke has a twin? When did this start? LOL???

This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine... And Now "The Guiding Light" The Guiding Light: Episode 042 Monday, February 05, 2007 Written By: Dan Gobble & Josh Hawkins TGL Opening - Cassie is at Company with RJ, the Marler twins and Clarissa. Marina has just arrived and offered to take them back for ice cream and Cassie is finishing off her coffee when Blake returns. “Well that was a fast trip.” Cassie sighed motioning for her to sit down, “What happened?” “Where are my children?” Blake questioned. “I sold them in an auction while you were away Blake.” She answered, “What kind of question is that. Kevin, James and Clarissa are with RJ in the back having ice cream with Marina.” Blake threw her head back and sighed heavily, “Thank you for watching them.” “Don’t worry about it. Just tell me what happened between you and Ross.” “Cassie if I knew what was happening I wouldn’t be in this situation.” Blake sighed heavily again and ran her fingers through her hair, “You know what the worse part of this whole thing is?” “No what?” “If my mother and Ross were having an affair…I wouldn’t have any room to judge, I done the same thing to her.” “Blake,” Cassie attempted to reason with her, “You can’t honestly think that. The situation now is completely different, you have children with Ross, a family and that is something Holly never had with him.” “I just can’t help but think that somehow I brought this on myself, karma.” Cassie took Blake’s hand and spoke in a friendly tone, “Why don’t you go on back to the carriage house. Let me keep the kids for the rest of the day.” “I couldn’t ask you to do that.” “You’re not asking, I’m offering. Now go…” Cassie handed Blake her purse, “Go before Clarissa sees you and starts crying again.” “You really don’t mind?” Blake asked again and Cassie shook her head no, “Okay, thank you Cassie for everything. I’ll call you later.” ********** - Olivia Spencer Spaulding stepped off the elevator and into a world she wasn’t quite familiar with, not yet anyway. If Olivia had her wish she would be an executive at Spaulding sooner much rather than later. “Good afternoon Mrs. Spaulding.” “Hello, Sherry. Is my husband busy?” “Actually no ma’am, he just finished his meeting with some board members. Should I let him know that you’re here?” Shaking her head, “No, that won’t be necessary. I think I’ll surprise him.” Olivia pushed open the office door and shut it behind her. “You don’t know what a turn on it is seeing you behind that desk.” “Olivia.” Alan spoke in his husky rumble, “I’m sorry I missed you at breakfast Phillip and I had an early meeting.” “It’s all right I thought I would surprise you with a late lunch, early dinner.” “I can’t. I wish that I could but I have investors coming in about half a hour and our meeting is of the up most importance.” Olivia poured herself a drink, “That’s too bad I was hoping you and I could discuss my proposal more in depth.” Alan was busy with folders and paperwork Olivia’s words didn’t register to him at first, “Your what Olivia?” “My business proposal, the one I talked to you about before Alexandra resigned as CEO of Spaulding.” “Oh, oh of course the fashion house division, I remember it now.” She slammed her glass down, “Obviously, Alan you don’t. It was an interior decorating division, not a fashion house.” Olivia walked across the office and to his desk, “You gave me your word Alan that after Alexandra’s meeting you would consider this and I don’t think you’re doing anything of the kind.” “Olivia…” Alan scolded, “Now is not the time to entertain any new ventures for the company. Alexandra has left me in a bind of sorts, she’s still the COO of the company and it’s hard as hell to get any work done when she is nowhere to be found.” He roared. “That sounds like an excuse Alan.” “Well quite frankly I do not give a damn about what you think it is Olivia. I am the head of this company and I said the timing isn’t right. I’m up to my neck in bills and paperwork that Alexandra needs to sign and I don’t know where the hell she is at.” “That is not my problem Alan. I am your wife, the mother of your child, but God help me Alan I am so much more than that and you of all people know it.” Olivia grabbed her purse and coat from the sofa and headed towards the door, “I will not be some stay at home mother who bakes cookies and admires your accomplishments. I have aspirations Alan, you knew that when you married me and if you won’t help me with them, then I’ll find someone who is able.” “Olivia!” Alan jumped from his chair, “Are you threatening me? Because I am not only the head of this company, but also your husband!” “You think I’ve forgotten that?” Olivia threw open the door, “I am reminded every morning when I wake beside you, when I put on your ring, all the time that I am Mrs. Alan Spaulding because you won’t let me forget it.” She was about to close the door, “You’re holding my hotel hostage and that’s fine for now, but Alan if you want me to stay a loyal wife you’ll find a way to get my division off the ground.” “And what if I don’t Olivia? What are you going to do about?” She shrugged her shoulders, “You’ll just have to wait and find out. I’m a ticking bomb Alan and when you least expect I’ll explode. Have a good day, darling.” ********** “You shouldn’t be here.” Blake tied her robe and shut the door behind Ross, “How did you know I would be here anyway?” “I ran into Cassie at Company, she told me that you had come back here to think about what happened.” Ross walked across the living room, “What is going on with us Blake?” “Seriously Ross? You just seriously asked me that question. For starters, what is wrong is that you’ve been sleeping with my mother and Ross Marler do not stand here in my own home and try and deny it.” “That is exactly what I’m going to do Blake because I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from but that is a lie.” Ross defended, “I will not deny that I have been spending time with Holly, but our relationship is completely platonic.” “I never thought I would say this to you Ross, but you’re a liar and I have the proof.” Blake reached into her purse and pulled out the pictures, “You and my mother enjoy your platonic time at The Beacon? I hired a private investigator from Oakdale he followed the both of you there.” “It’s not what it looks like Blake, you have to give me a chance to explain.” “No need for explanations, what goes around, comes around, hmm? But the both of us were to blame for what happened all those years ago, so why am I the one who is being punished?” Blake turned away from Ross, her eyes filled with tears. “I never imagined that it would you that would break my heart like this.” Ross grabbed her shoulders and tried to turn her around but it was no use, Blake refused to move. “When are you going to get it through that tough, thick skull of yours Blake, nothing happened between your mother and I, I love you, only you.” The carriage house fell silent, “Okay then, if you’re not having an affair with her then why?” Blake faced him, “Why have you been spending all your time with her, why the secrecy?” “Your mother and the President of Springfield University are old friends, she and I have been working together in hopes that he would allow me to return to the faculty.” Ross admitted. “And that’s all? End of story?” Blake asked. “It’s a wonderful cover, Ross it really is.” “You don’t believe me?” Ross opened his briefcase, “Here then you read this. I don’t know what else I can do Blake. Everything that you’re mother I have been working on for the last few months is right there in writing.” Blake looked over the paperwork, contracts, recommendations and projected hire dates. “Looks good Ross, but I know a scheme when I see one.” “My God Blake, when are you going to realize that you’re completely wrong?” He questioned, “Go, go ask your mother about this, she’ll tell you, the truth.” “The truth, Ross…” Blake sighed as she threw open the front door. “Yes Blake the truth.” Holly answered from the doorway, “It’s time you heard it all!” ********** - Two messengers from Cedars hospital arrive at Spaulding Enterprises and Lewis Construction at the same time. “I have a special delivery from Mr. Alan Spaulding.” One messenger said handing over a large package. Across town at Lewis, Billy Lewis received the same type of package!

Hello readers! After careful thought I have decided that a the blog would undergo a name change effective immediately! After viewing the 70th Anniversary episode of "GUIDING LIGHT" I begin to think of what the show was about and have decided that at 11:59 CST tonight, the blog will have a new name: "THE GUIDING LIGHT" Of course it is what the original name of the show was, but I think it will fit the type of stories Dan and I are writing!

Now all we need is Roxie to jump in the fountain at the country club!! lol.

The Light: Episode 041 Sunday, January 28, 2007 Written By: Dan Gobble & Josh Hawkins THE LIGHT Opening Holly pours herself a cup of coffee and slams the cup down on the kitchen counter as she lowers her head into her hands. She slowly walks back into her bedroom, pulls open the drapes to reveal a bright sun…she closes them and gets back into bed… Ross and Blake run across one another at Company and Ross calls her out why she has been avoiding him. Blake tells Ross that she is not going to have this discussion with him right here in Company, in front of their children. Ross tells her to take them to Holly’s and she says sharply no! Cassie who is having lunch with RJ says that if Blake needs a babysitter then she would be more than glad to watch the kids, Ross thanks her and pulls Blake away, with Blake resisting a little bit! Holly awakes hours later, having missed an important meeting at The Journal and lunch with Ed! She throws her legs to the floor and goes to stand, but becomes weak and collapses back into bed. Having been stood up by Holly for lunch, Ed arrives home and stops Mel from going out shopping. He questions her about how she is feeling and if she’s ready to talk anymore about whatever it is that is bothering her. Mel insists that nothing is bothering her that she’s just stressed with work is all and Ed really shouldn’t worry. Ed reveals to her that if she keeps things bottled up and does not express her feelings or let Rick in then their marriage could suffer. Mel assures Ed that everything is fine, even though it clearly is not! Finally once they are alone Ross asks what has been going on with her the last few months, that since Thanksgiving she has been short with him, putting him off, not talking and the same with her mother. Blake says that he knows the answer to that and for him to even ask is outrageous and insulting to her! Blake turns to walk away but Ross grabs and pulls her into a passionate kiss…Blake pulls away and slaps him across the face and tells him that she will not play second fiddle to her mother! Blake tells Ross he wants her or he wants Holly and leaves him to make his choice!

Recently Stephanie Gatschet sat down with us at a restaurant near the Stillwater set of SONBC blog, "THE LIGHT." She talked openly and freely about her role as innocent heroine Tammy Winslow, the current state of the blog production, her long contract negotiations and more! SONBC: Welcome! How are you enjoying the new locations? SG: It's no New York City, but we're all getting very used to it! We pre-tape a lot of stuff and we lump it together, so making the trips in and out aren't nearly as bad as we thought it would be! SONBC: Production seems to have been at a stand still as of last week, any updates as to what is going on? SG: Stillwater experienced back-to-back snow and ice storms, it shut down set for a few days. Grant Aleksander (Phillip), Beth Ehlers (Harley) and a few others were in Stillwater and they managed to shoot a few scenes. Production has resumed and an all new episodes will begin airing this week! SONBC: Well that's good to hear. So how are you liking the current regime, this is your first interview since Gobble and Hawkins began thoughts? SG: You know their finding their footing! It's going to take time, it always does but going back in time I think was the best move that they could have made. But from an actor standpoint I was worried that the same stories would be told all over again, so far that is not case. (Smiles.) SONBC: During the ice storm, you and the executives had your own little storm brewing! Let's talk about contract dealings from last week, it was a close call. SG: It was a very close call! I've been with "Guiding Light" and then to continue with "The Light" was a big question in my mind. It comes down to wanting to play good stories and being able to do those other things that you enjoy. I was pitched a story that would occur if I stayed and even if I didn't stay. I was made perfectly clear I was welcome and that Josh wanted me to stay, but if I didn't then the role would have been recast. Thankfully for everyone it worked out. SONBC: Tell us, what you can about that story! SG: The good thing about going back in time is that there are four relationships that haven't been explored: Marina, Lizzie, Shayne and Tammy so now we get to see that develop. I'll be sharing a lot of scenes with David Tom (Shayne) and that story begins in February! SONBC: We were told that Dan Gobble wants to bring Jonathan Randall on this year. Is there any update there. SG: (Laughs) Jonathan will arrive this year! His name is popping around the set, I just shared a group scene with Laura Wright (Cassie), Kim Zimmer (Reva) and others were his name was said a few times. It will be interesting to see what occurs when he does finally arrive. (Smiles and laughs.) SONBC: You act like you know something more than you're not saying. SG: (Shrugs shoulders) Maybe. SONBC: We'll we're glad you're staying with "TL" and look forward to seeing you for how many more years. SG: At least two! And thank you!

SLUTTY MARLENA!!! OMG!! I love it!!!!!
