GUIDING LIGHT SYNOPSIS 12/14/09-12/18/09

Mindy confronted Billy about the discrepancies with her birth certificate, and he finally admitted that the one she'd been using all these years was a forgery.

Billy explained that Mindy's mother, Dina, had been only seventeen years old when she got pregnant. The only way they could have gotten married in Tulsa at the time was by asking her parents' permission. But as she didn't want to tell them she was pregnant, Dina and Billy ran away together. They got married once she turned 18, but Dina, who had been raised very properly, never wanted her daughter to know that she'd been born illegitimate. It was her dying request that Billy keep it a secret.

Mindy forgave her father and happily made plans to order her authentic birth certificate and proceed with her and Rick's plans to adopt a baby. But when Mindy called the attorney representing them and explained what Billy had said, Kevin Fowler told her the story couldn't be true. (Read their entire conversation at: http://www.anotherworldtoday.com/aw_today.html)

Meanwhile, in an attempt to keep Leah from going off on a ski trip with Kevin Marler during the holidays, Rick offered to have Blake and her family over for Christmas. When Leah pointed out that Frank would probably want to spend it with the Coopers, Rick suggested having them - as well Danny and Michelle and their family - join the Bauers as well.

Mindy freaked that they didn't have the room to host such a big bash, so Rick blithely volunteered the Spaulding mansion. They would all descend on Phillip's house for a Springfield-wide celebration. Meaning that Mindy would have to spend her holiday within sight of Alex... (And Holly would be forced face to face with Fletch.)

But as she stressed about that, Mindy wondered whether she should confront Billy over what Kevin had said right away, or wait until after Christmas so as not to ruin her first one as Mrs. Rick Bauer.

Several GL fans have already chimed in their opinions about what Mindy should do. Now it's your turn! Help Guide the Light and give Mindy your opinion at: http://twitter.com/MelindaSueLewis!

GUIDING LIGHT SYNOPSIS DECEMBER 7-11, 2009

Via http://twitter.com/MelindaSueLewis

Rick and Mindy consulted a Bay City attorney, Kevin Fowler (who'd once been a client of Rick's Uncle Mike), about their chances to adopt a baby.

In the middle of their interview, romance writer Felicia Gallant burst in to accuse Kevin of trying to sell her newborn granddaughter to the Bauers.

Mindy and Rick hightailed it home, but later Kevin called to say there was a problem with their paperwork. Mindy's birth certificate wasn't an officially issued version, and they couldn't proceed without that.

Mindy explained that her parents had been on vacation in Mexico when she was born prematurely (surprise!) and as a result, all she has is a notarized copy of the document. She's tried to track down the original in the past, but the bureaucracy made it impossible. Kevin offered to do some digging for her, and Mindy agreed.

Later, she went to see Billy at work, hoping he could steer them in the right direction, but ran into Jonathan instead.

Jonathan insisted that Bill was deliberately closing his eyes to Lizzie's growing obsession with Sarah. Jonathan swore that he wasn't going to let Sarah become another victim of Lizzie's insecurity... like Tammy was.

When Mindy finally got to see Billy, she received even more bad news. Her father told her that Kevin was never going to find Mindy's original birth certificate. And it was about time Billy told Mindy why....

GUIDING LIGHT MEETS ANOTHER WORLD (AGAIN)

In 1966, after the suicide of his wife, Julie, Mike Bauer (pictured above with mom Bert) packed up his young daughter, Hope, and left Springfield to make a new life for them both in Bay City.

He joined John Randolph's law firm, and began a relationship with John's college-age daughter, Lee.

Lee fell for Mike right away, but Mike wasn't ready to jump into a commitment quite yet... especially after meeting Lee's young stepmother, Pat.

A car accident caused by Lee had left John paralyzed and deeply depressed. Though Pat attempted to nurse her husband back to health, John's humiliation at his debilitation forced him to push Pat away... and straight towards Mike.

Unwilling to hurt John, Mike and Pat agreed to keep their distance, and Mike prepared to move back to Springfield in 1967. But not before kissing Pat good-by. A kiss Lee witnessed.

The 1960s Guiding Light/Another World cross-over was possible because, even though the shows aired on different networks, both were P&G productions created by Irna Phillips. In later years, several AW characters visited ATWT's Oakdale, and Cass Winthrop even made a stop in Springfield, cementing the reality that all three shows existed in the same (fictional) universe.

Today, in the spirit of those earlier cross-overs, GL's Rick and Mindy pay a visit to Bay City. Read all about it at http://twitter.com/melindasuelewis and at http://www.anotherworldtoday.com/aw_today.html!

Don't miss Thursday, December 3 when Brad tries to get Simon arrested. He can't stand watching him with Katie.
