Guiding Light Update for 12/9/93 courtesy of Cari D. Burstein Eve's- Eve and Ed arrive. Eve tells Ed he didn't have to take her home. He asks her if she wants to have lunch. A package arrives for Eve. She tells Ed they shouldn't have lunch because he's been away from the hospital long enough, and people will think she's a bad influence on him. Vanessa's- Michelle and Bill come in. Vanessa tells Bill to clean up the sand he tracked in. Michelle makes a comment about the perfume Bill got her. Josh tells Tangie that he thinks Bill is turning into "a regular studpuppy". Tangie starts asking Bill questions about him playing at the beach. Court- The judge calls Leo and Ross to the stand and tells them he has the document. He asks Bess if she's seen the document before. She says it's the right one. The judge says he's reached his decision. Alex and Jenna eye each other nervously. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eve's- Ed says he can't worry about the hospital rumormill. Eve tells him she doesn't want to waste his time. Ed asks Eve about the package. She tells him it's something she ordered to help her sleep because Holly's been worrying her. He says he understands what it's been like for her, that it's like when he first stopped drinking. He tells her he feels for her, and then hugs her. Ed says Holly wants to make peace, and that Michelle doesn't have a problem with Eve really, just a problem with any woman in Ed's life. He says they should go pick up Michelle together. She says she doesn't want to go. Vanessa's- Tangie asks Bill questions about people on the beach by the lighthouse. The doorbell rings and he gets it. Vanessa is holding Peter and talks to Josh about being a new mom. She says she held back from Peter at first because the adoption wasn't final. Bill pays the pizza guy and lets him keep the change. Vanessa asks him where he got the money. Court- Judge says the document is the genuine article. Jenna says it's not fair- that her father was cheated anyways. The judge says too bad, that she got more than fair compensation from having the Spaulding's stuff for a year. He says the Spaulding's stuff reverts back to them at midnight, including anything Spaulding acquired while in Jenna and Roger's hands. He says that if the Thorpes want, they can have a handwriting expert examine the document. The Spauldings get excited and start jumping around happily. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vanessa's- Bill tells Vanessa he paid for the pizza with his allowance. Vanessa says he's being a good guy. Tangie tries to find out from Bill where he was playing in the sand. Josh tells Vanessa to enjoy Peter. Court- Ross tells everyone to be seated. The Judge says the Spauldings get everything back at midnight. The Spauldings jump up and down for joy. Alex tells Bess she should take a trip. Bess says she's expecting a lot more than that.

AM toasts Bess, and says he wishes he could see Roger's face right now. Court- Leo says it's all gone now (i.e. Spaulding). Jenna gives Leo a pin for payment, and tells him it's worth a lot. Leo tells Jenna she should go on a vacation because Roger doesn't take kindly to losing. Leo leaves. Henry tells Jenna Leo didn't deserve the pin. She tells him it wasn't real. Henry says it isn't the end of the world and he's there to help. Jenna tells Henry she adores him. Jenna says she's having trouble accepting it. Henry thinks she means losing Spaulding, but she means what Buzz did. Vanessa's- Ed asks Vanessa if seeing Eve threw her. Ed tells Vanessa he was hoping she'd approve of Eve. Vanessa says Ed's stamp of approval should be enough. Tangie asks about the ad over the phone.
