ALL MY CHILDREN -- WED. AUGUST 12

Todays stories:

1) Brian/Haley/Dixie sing Beau Woes and Future Fossils (anyone else
		have this CD?)
2) Galen and the gang: Will Carter beg the mercenaries for mercy?
3) Gloria/"Stuart"/Dixie: Gloria finally gets her very own cliffhanger!

*********************************

Brian/Haley/Dixie

Brian shows up at Dixie's {Note: I would start getting really irritated 
if he just kept showing up at my house without calling first -- especially
since they've decided that they aren't getting too serious}. He wants
to reassure her that their night of passion wasn't just "one of those 
things." {Guess he also can't say sex} Dixie -- who is distracted by her
mail -- says she understands that. Brian gets her to tell him what is 
bothering her and she reveals that she received a bank statement that 
had Junior's name on it underneath Gloria's -- the account has $20,000
dollars in it. (See below) Dixie is sure that Gloria conned Stuart out
of the money and is trying to buy her way back into Dixie's good graces.
Brian defends Gloria and says that maybe Gloria is just trying to make
up for her past actions. He mentions having seen Gloria waiting for the
bus. Dixie is surprised by this news -- she knows how much Gloria loved
having the car. The two of them discuss forgiveness and how it can be
so hard. Brian talks about how Haley was never able to forgive him.

An Li and Terrence come into McKay's and sit down to talk. Terrence tells
An Li that he likes doing things for her and wants to know if she is still
hung up on Brian or if he has a chance. On cue, Brian comes in and wants
to talk to An Li, as Terrence looks pained. Brian tells An Li that he
forgives her for what she did and that he doesn't hate her. An Li is very
happy and gets up to hug him just as Haley walks in. Terrence spots her,
the hug breaks up and Brian runs after her. Haley is mad and immediately
assumes that An Li was Brian's date at the drive-in. They exchange some
hot words and Brian finds out that Haley was at the drive-in and knows
he was there. He admits he was there but tells her it wasn't with An Li.
Haley storms out, claiming to have a "hot date."

Back at the table, Terrence says that he guesses he has the answer to his
question -- but An Li doesn't even remember the question. He asks her 
again and she tells him he was right -- she would be crazy to think she
had a chance with Brian. Terrence looks thrilled and takes her hand. An Li
just looks uncomfortable.

Haley then shows up at Dixie's to see Junior. Dixie has just gotten back
(you still have to see below!) and still has to get him from the 
neighbor's house. She can see that Haley is quite upset and asks her why.
She thinks that maybe she can help. Finally Haley breaks down and admits
that she knows Brian is dating someone and it's killing her that she
doesn't know who it is!


GALEN AND THE GANG

While Natalie stays to comfort Galen, Jeremy and Trevor find Carter at
McKay's (he has a napkin tucked under his scruffy chin!).
They reminisce about their mercenary days and make not-too-subtle
threats about how well they take care of their friends. They mention one
enemy in Laos who had an "accident" while stringing a guitar -- somehow
the wire got wrapped around his neck. Carter looks at least a little
concerned about this "threat." Carter tries to put some of the 
blame for his marriage on Galen (all the while talking about how sorry 
he is that she got hurt) by saying that she envied him, he carried her
through law school, she was always giving him a hard time, etc.
Eventually, they leave.

Trevor and Jeremy report back to Galen and Natalie that they took care of
him. They taped the entire conversation, so Carter cannot try to claim
they threatened him. Unfortunately, he didn't make any threats either.
But they're sure that he got the message. Just in case Trevor leaves to
start Phase 2 ....

Back at Tempo, Pheobe comes to Carter's office to ask about divorce 
settlements so she can answer a letter for her column. He proceeds to
charm her and tell her about his ex-wife -- how neither gets any 
support from the other (he claims he wants it this way) even though
she has a better paying job than he does. He says that after he married
her she turned into a shrew. Pheobe buys it all and he never says who
the ex-wife is.

Carter then asks her about Trevor -- he must be full of wind. The 
tough-guy act can't be real, can it? "Oh no," she replies. "He's
one tough hombre ... He's Pine Valley's answer to Rambo!" She 
impresses on him that Trevor must be taken seriously (she doesn't
know that Trevor has threatened him). After Pheobe leaves, Carter
declares that he will have to find a way to take care of Trevor.


GLORIA/"STUART"/DIXIE (Note: "Stuart" is actually Adam in all of this)

"Stuart" calls Gloria to remind her of their date that evening, not
realizing that Haley has returned and is watching him. Gloria says
that she hasn't forgotten, but they'll have to do something less 
expensive since she doesn't have much money. They decide to go to
the carnival and Stuart will try to win her stuffed animals. After
"Stuart" hangs up, Haley confronts him. Adam tells her that he had
to be sure that Gloria is sincere ... and to his surprise he thinks
she is. He tells Haley about how Gloria refused the watch.

Haley asks him why he is going out with her again if she passed the
test. Adam says he must be sure .... Haley asserts that "Daddy
Dimento" is really trying to make a move on Gloria, and that is why
he sent Stuart away. Adam denies this and Haley finally agrees 
to keep his pretense a secret.

At the hospital, Gloria is concerned about not having received her
bank statement yet (seems she moves so much, she's been having her
mail delivered there). She calls the bank and they tell her that
it should arrive soon, but if not she can always check the statement
that gets sent to the co-holder of the account: Junior! She didn't
realize that he got a copy of it and knows that Dixie will be mad
when she finds out. She's afraid she blew it again. She talks to
Ruth about this, and Ruth agrees to talk with Dixie for her.

"Stuart" shows up for their date, but Gloria has a couple of things
to do. The mail has just come in and we see a nurse going through it.
She holds up a postcard so the camera can read the back: it's to
Gloria from (real)Stuart -- he's sorry he couldn't say goodbye but says
that Adam promised to take care of everything {and how!}. I guess
"Stuart" wasn't paying attention, because he didn't take away
the postcard.

Gloria gets back to the desk, when Dixie comes in to see Gloria. She
acts mad, and Gloria apologizes and "Stuart" sticks up for her. Dixie
tells "Stu" to stay out of it, but then relents, saying she isn't
here to yell at Dixie ... she will accept the money on Junior's behalf.
She also points out that just money won't be able to make up for
what Gloria did to her. Gloria says she knows that. When Dixie leaves,
Gloria is thrilled about this first step. She hugs "Stuart" and thanks
him for his help.

Gloria and Stuart are talking when Ruth returns and goes through the mail.
Being a good busy-body, she reads Gloria's postcard -- and sees it is 
from Stuart! She calls Gloria over to the desk and shows it to her ...
Gloria is confused. If the postcard is from Stuart then who is ....

**Cliffhanger** 

(BTW -- I thought it was cute when Gloria was done reading the postcard,
"Stuart" waved to her and she meekly waved back ... Guess it was a 
visual thing}

See all of you next week!
