GUIDING LIGHT SYNOPSIS JULY 26-30, 2010

After a disastrous chat with Blake where she admitted that she would never love Frank as much as she'd loved Ross and that's why she refused to marry him, Mindy told Rick that perhaps sticking her nose into other people's business wasn't such a good idea, after all.

Rick laughed really, really hard, and then suggested that if Mindy was bored staying home all day with the baby, she should go back to work, if just part-time.

Mindy agreed and called Marah in Paris, only to find out that she hadn't been to the office for days and the staff was getting worried. Mindy called Josh and Reva to see if they knew where their daughter was. But neither was answering their phones.

This convinced Mindy that something odd was going on and, despite Rick's warnings, she resolved to find out what it was.

ANOTHER WORLD TODAY EPISODE #64-2

"And me with my blowtorch in my other purse," Lorna smiled sweetly at Donna, promising her and Matt, "Maybe next time."

"I think that joke has run its course," Matt snarled.

"And this joke," Lorna indicated the couple in front of her. "Hasn't?"

"Who the hell died, Lorna, and gave you the right to pass judgment - "

"Jenna," she snapped, answering Matt, but glaring at Donna.

"It's alright, Matthew." The older woman laid a calming hand briefly across his arm. "You don't need to defend me."

"From her, I do. She tried to kill you!"

"It isn't Lorna's fault she hasn't the faintest idea how to act appropriately. Just like those petty insults she hurled at you earlier weren't her fault either. Lorna simply doesn't recognize kindness or decency or genuine, human affection. It's cruel of us to expect it of her. After all, how is a person supposed to appreciate in others qualities she's never possessed for herself?"

***

Lila gives Grant an idea for seizing the future by reliving his past, Jen gets caught, Amanda asks Alice what Rachel would do while Jamie recalls what Rachel has done - and the pain that it caused, and Donna's reprieve comes to an end.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW: JACKEE HARRY (LILY; ANOTHER WORLD)

In 1983, Jackee Harry was scheduled to say two lines on Another World as prostitute Lily Mason, aunt of Thomasina, the young woman Quinn (played by Petronia Paley) wanted to adopt. (That makes Lily the great-aunt of Another World Today's current character, GQ Todd.)

Those two lines turned into a three year contract, and America's introduction to the unique, comedic/dramatic talent that would eventually take prime-time by storm on 227, Sister, Sister and more.

Another World Today spoke with Jackee Harry to reminisce about her time in Bay City, and to catch up with what she is doing now.

AS THE WORLD TURNS AT COMIC-CON 2010!

The Man From Oakdale, the ATWT tie-in novel by Henry Coleman and Alina Adams, won the International Association of Media Tie-In Writer's SCRIBE Award for Best Novel (General Fiction), beating out CSI and PSYCH!



It was ATWT's first win and second nomination, after Oakdale Confidential in 2007.


Accepting the award, co-author Alina Adams thanked As The World Turns, Executive Producer Christopher Goutman, Headwriter Jean Passanante, Director of Creative Development Amy Handelsman, TeleNext Media and actors Trent Dawson (Henry) and Ewa da Cruz (Vienna) for making their character voices so easy (if somewhat disturbing) to hear in her head during the writing process.

The Man From Oakdale is currently available on Amazon.com as a hardback, a large-print edition and, for a limited time only, as a bargain book. Buy it through http://www.anotherworldtoday.com/aw_today.html (you may need to scroll down on some browsers in order to click on the cover).

ANOTHER WORLD TODAY EPISODE #64-1

"Marley."

"Carl."

Each name proved simultaneously a question, an identification, and an expression of surprise. Truth be told — even factoring in Jamie and Kirkland — the two of them had very little reason to cross paths. Marley couldn't even remember whether they'd exchanged so much as banal pleasantries on the 4th of July.

And yet here Carl was, in her gallery, looking... odd. Impeccably groomed, naturally. Flamboyant, of course. But, nonetheless, odd.

"What brings you here?" She wondered, beckoning her one-time stepfather and stepfather-in-law into her private office and closing the door.

He took a seat, linking his hands in his lap, leaning forward and divulging, "I am afraid that there are a pair of issues which I feel compelled to bring to your attention."

Marley sighed and guessed, "Donna. You heard that she was back."

***

Felicia's fight to keep Lori Ann with Cass and Frankie leads to a surprise observation, Carl and Rachel attempt to level with Elizabeth and Cory, Jen and Sarah consider comitting another crime to help Allie and Gregory, Donna turns to Matt, and Carl zeroes in on Marley.

Plus a classic clip of Gregory's first health crisis and Olivia with Aunt Liz!

WHERE ARE THEY NOW: RICKY PAULL GOLDIN (GUS, GL; DEAN, AW)

Don’t breathe a word of this. Because nobody’s supposed to know. But Boston stylista Gretchen Monahan is going to be a mommy!

Word from our spies in the spas is that the Rachael Ray glamour guru and owner of the Grettacole and Gretta Luxe style empire is expecting a baby with her fiance, “All My Children” star Ricky Paull Goldin in November. The couple plan to tie the knot in the spring.

ANOTHER WORLD TODAY EPISODE #63-2

"You took it too far, Carl," Rachel sighed to her husband, sinking into the seat across from him inside the library, indicating the shelves and shelves of classic tomes that, all of a sudden, seemed to be bearing down oppressively on them both. "It was one thing to broaden our children's horizons and introduce them to worlds outside their own. It's quite another to raise them in a completely alternate reality."

"I have done no such thing," Carl defended archly. "Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Shakespeare, Moliere, Dante, Beowulf, Oresteia, Njals, Lais; they are each, in their own way, the very foundations of Western civilization. I did not bring up Elizabeth and Cory outside of reality. I merely offered them a richer understanding of their current one."

"Your thirteen year old daughter, in trying to make some sense of your past, has cast you in the role of German crown prince, and Lorna as Mata Hari."

"Truly, now? What an apt and erudite metaphor."

"Cut it out." The more high-falutin' Carl's language grew, the more tempted Rachel felt to simplify hers. "I am no fan of Lorna's, I think we all know that. But I will not allow Elizabeth to hide behind a version of events which paints Lorna as the shameless villain, and you as the cruelly betrayed hero. Not for Lorna's sake, mind you. For Elizabeth's. Let the lie stand now, and it will only be that much more difficult for her to handle once the real truth comes to light."

"What real truth?" Carl inquired, genuinely curious. "You assert that Elizabeth has conjured herself up an illusory version of my dealings with Lorna. I daresay, you have well done the same. Just what do you believe happened between us?"

***

Felicia gives Lorna an honest earful about Jamie, then fills Frankie in on their plans for Lori Ann; Amanda tempts Grant, much to Marley, Lila - and Kevin's - displeasure, Jasmine confuses Kirkland, as the battle for his custody appears to arrive at a surprising end.

Plus classic clips of Frankie and Lorna's first meeting (not surprisingly, Carl is involved) and Amanda cross-examining Grant over Vicky and Ryan.
