ALL MY CHILDREN -- WEDNESDAY JULY 29

Once again, I feel that I have to start off with a comment about time. Last
Wednesday it was the day of the gala ball, which I believe took place on
a Friday (according to the date they chose). This week it is still the day
after the ball -- everyone is wearing the same clothes and talking about the
same things. So these two days have lasted more than two weeks now.  I thought
the writers learned something during the well-scenario! Anyway, today's 
storylines are:

1) Gloria and the Chandler twins.
2) Galen is still being stalked.
3) Edmund and his identity crisis.


GLORIA

Adam shows up at Wildwind and admits he tried to get her fired (no surprise
to nurse Gloria) and wants to know why she didn't tell Stuart. She says that 
it is over and there is nothing that telling Stuart would accomplish. Adam
tells her that either he is wrong about her or she is a brilliant tactician --
he is there to find out which is true, he is there to analyze her motives.
Gloria says that she didn`t want Stuart to be disappointed or hurt. Adam
replies that he would like to trust her, but he just can't get over the 
brilliance or her move. Gloria replies that she can't win -- she finally does
the right thing, but he's going to believe what he wants to anyway.

Just then, Stuart makes an appearance -- wearing a RED sweater! Adam tells 
Stuart that he has come to apologize for doing something bad to Gloria.
Stuart keeps asking Gloria why she didn't tell him and Gloria finally says
that she didn't want Stuart mad at Adam because she has a strong feeling
that Adam can't get by without him. (Good one, Gloria!) Adam, in the 
background, says he can't.

Stuart then accosts Adam and makes Adam promise not to do anything else to
her. He also tells Adam that he wants to talk to him alone. Before the two
brothers leave, Stuart tells Gloria that he can't make it to the conference
with her that night because he has to work on some paintings.

Later, when Adam and Stuart are talking, Adam tells Stuart that he had to
make sure she was on the level -- not because he didn't think Stuart deserved
her, but because he had trouble believing her instant conversion. Stuart
tells him that he wishes Adam could just see Gloria the way he does. Adam
then looks thoughtful and says to himself, "Maybe I can see her the way you
see her."

Eventually, we see Stuart on the telephone -- in a BEIGE sweater! -- talking
to the client. Then the doorbell rings at Wildwind. It's Adam (posing as
Stewart in his usual bale blue sweater) telling Gloria that he can
take her to the concert afterall. {Who was the one who called this --
I remember someone posted that they figured that Adam would pose as Stuart
to get close to Gloria. Step up now and say "I told you so!" -- not that I
didn't believe you!}


GALEN

Trevor shows up at Brooke's office with Carter's picture. When she says he
works for her, he tells her about Galen. Brooke points out that he put on
his application that he was arrested for assault and he has references from
mental health experts saying that he has been reformed. She doesn't like
what he did, but she can't fire him.

Carter is at Galen's apartment, but ducks out of site when she and Stephen
show up. Stephen (after smalltalk) suggests they live together. Galen 
notes that he just wants to be her bodyguard and even living together he
can't be that. Besides, she likes living alone. Stephen then looks out the
window {have you noticed -- the woman is being stalked and she doesn't even`
pull her blinds at night} and sees Carter in the parking lot watching her 
apartment.

Mimi and Derek are staking out the parking lot and see him. They decide to 
call him over to question him. He says that he is doing an article on some
old woman across the street. They ask him why he isn't across the street and
he threatens to charge them with police harassment since he's not doing 
anything wrong. They let him go, then are called back to the station by
the dispatcher who says that Berniker is mad.

Trevor then arrives at Galen's apartment and tells her that Carter has a job.
It looks like he's here to stay. Then Mimi and Derek show up. Berniker was 
tipped as to their activities and has cancelled all surveillance on Galen.
Trevor promises to try to change his mind and they all leave. Stephen gets
paged and has to go the the hospital on an emergency and he leaves as well, 
after Galen refuses to go with him. The phone rings and the camera man decides
to turn the camera to a funny angle. She finally answers it and it is just
a client who wants to meet with her that night. She doesn't want to but finally
agrees. She goes out, swearing not to live like a victim. 

Galen approaches her car, and Carter is there. "Hello Maggie -- or should I
call you Galen? Long time, no see." he says.


EDMUND

Helga is at Edmund's office when he arrives (another time point -- this is the
day after the party, but everyone seems to be working even though it 
supposedly is saturday). He says that they're finally in synch, that if she
weren't there, he would be looking for her. He then kisses her (on the cheek)
and thanks her. She looks panicked and asks what for. He tells her for making
him remember who he is, that it is worth a great deal to him. She asks him
which item in particular he is talking about. He mentions his journal for one.
Helga says that she is afraid she made a terrible mistake, that the memories
would be painful for him. He tells her that the pain was Wildwind, not him.
Thanks to Helga, he has a piece of himself back. Now Dimitri has his money
and he has his childhood. Brooke then arrives and Helga leaves.

Brooke -- who was frantic after he ran off from Wildwind and has just found
him -- wants to know what Helga was doing there. Edmund says she was just
concerned about him. Brooke doubts it, she thinks that Helga knows that the
will was there and is afraid that he read it (she's not an investigative
reporter for nothing). He disagrees. He adds that things are finally going
Angelique's way for the first time in years and he's not going to upset
things for her. Brooke says that Hugo owes Edmund for denying him all those
years. Edmund does his share of denying and refuses to talk about it.

Later, at Wildwind, Helga is gleefully talking to Angelique's picture about
how everything is now fine: Dimitri is through with Erica, no one will ever
know about Hugo's will, and maybe there will even be a baby soon. Gloria
walks in and Helga says "Hello, dear" and Gloria mouths "dear?". When Helga
asks where Angelique is and Gloria tells her she's at the shelter, Helga
actually looks happy about it. When Gloria questions her, Helga says that Ang.
is happy there, so it makes her happy. Finally, Gloria asks her if something
happened since she is so happy. Helga says she'll have to start being more
careful, then Gloria asks if she won the lottery. Eventually, Helga prances
out of the room.

Back at Tempo, Carter comes up to Brooke and tells her that he heard the
police were questioning her about him. He is glad that she told them the
truth -- that maybe they will see that he has nothing to hide. She says that
the news is unsettling -- she wishes that he had said it was his wife that
he had assualted. He claims that therapy has helped him.

Brooke then asks why he chose to settle in Pine Valley. He says that Tempo was
his only link to the outside world when he was in prison and he really wanted
to work for her. Edmund then comes in and tells him that his story sounds 
hollow and to get to work. After Carter leaves, Brooke tells Ed. that he
made a bad situation worse because Carter left mad.

Brooke then tries to get Edmund to talk, but he won't. Finally Brooke demands
to look at the will before they do anything else. They get to his apartment,
and he tells her where the will is. She takes the book, and he is looking 
unstable in the background ... {Mini-cliffhanger}

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

That's it for today. Tune in next week, where maybe it will finally be a new
week in Pine Valley ...
