All My Children Update Monday 8/6/01
By Glynis Anna and Brooke talk at BJ’s. Edmund was there but he ran
outside to look at some proofs that Brooke has brought over to him. Brooke sits
with Anna and the two ladies are polite with each other. Anna wants to know if
Brooke has asked Edmund out yet. Brooke is shocked at that question. Anna thinks
that this is a logical question, after all Edmund is single. Brooke tells her
that they used to be in love once and Brooke hurt him. She married Tad for her
son and left Edmund. Her marriage to Tad was very short-lived. Brooke has some
questions of her own. She wants to know what Anna is trying to set Edmund up
with her. Maybe Anna feels guilty. Edmund has been very supportive to her. They
have thought about getting together but Anna doesn’t want to go there because
she may not be single. She wishes him the world of happiness and she sees Brooke
as a part of that world. Edmund returns and says that the material is fine for
the magazine. Anna excuses herself from the table and Brooke asks him if he
would like to go to the movies with her on a date. Edmund is shocked at that
question. He tells her that he would be glad to go out with her on a date. She
rises from her chair and they will discuss the details later. She leaves the
restaurant and Anna returns saying that Brooke looks very happy. He can tell
that Anna was trying to set them up. She wants Brooke to know that she isn’t a
threat. If Anna’s husband is still alive, she has to find out and she thinks
that Edmund shouldn’t be waiting for her when he has everything to lose. Edmund
understands what she is saying. Bianca explains to Gabriel that she is gay and he hit on her.
He was drinking and made a move on Bianca. She is sure that he only did it
because he was drinking. She explains to him that she likes women and that what
he did wasn’t exactly the appropriate thing. Bianca is sure that no one has ever
held him and told him that they loved him. No one has ever made him feel safe or
held him. Bianca goes over to him and takes him in her arms. His mother was the
last person to hold him before she died. She knows that he has a thing about
being touched, but he lets her hold him anyway. She hates that this happened to
him and she knows how he felt. She was in a cage once too. They both don’t have
to be in a cage anymore. He can love anyone that he wants as long as he only
thinks of her as a friend. He wants to know how she knows that she doesn’t love
guys. She tells him about the story last Fall. She wanted to see if she could be
straight, so she got drunk and wasted and she came onto a guy. She explains that
the guy that she came onto was Marcus. She hopes that he will not hate her. Just
then Rosa walks in and finds the two together. Bianca leaves the room to leave
the two together. She knows that he likes her and always has. Bianca returns and
Rosa decides to leave, but Bianca suggests that they go to the beach together.
There is a full moon and there is nothing else to do. Bianca suggests that they
leave a note there saying where they have gone. Opal is back at the yacht with Ryan. She was trying to explain
to him earlier that she was really Gillian inside Opal’s body, but Ryan wouldn’t
believe her. Finally, he did believe her and now they return to the yacht
together. He is finally convinced that Opal’s body has been taken over by
Gillian’s spirit. ‘Gillian’ is happy that she is finally home. She remembers the
last time that they were there and Ryan remembers it too. They had just made
love and she was packing to go on their honeymoon. She recounts the whole thing
and Ryan is astounded at her remembering all this. She tells him that she loves
him so much. Ryan tells her that he loves her too. He can’t believe this is
happening. She tells him to feel her and to touch her and know that she is real.
She walks over to a silver platter and looks at her image in the platter. She
wonders now if she is really herself. If she is really herself at all. He didn’t
want to let her go and he explains to her why he let her die. He was talking to
her and he didn’t really want to do it. ‘Gillian’ is sad that he had to save
Laura’s life. She tells him that the way that he knew her doesn’t exist anymore.
He tells her different. He fells in love with her spirit and her soul. He still
loves her and will love her until the day that he dies. They fall into each
other’s arms. She begs him to make love to her before something else happens and
they are separated again. Just then Jesse appears, but only to ‘Gillian’. He
tells her to step back and move away from Ryan. Ryan doesn’t see Jesse, but
‘Gillian’ does and she tells Ryan that she has a feeling that they are not
alone. She starts talking to Jesse and Ryan is not sure what she is doing. Jesse
warns her that she doesn’t know what she is doing. She tries to explain to Ryan
what is going on. He senses that something else is going on. Jesse tells her to
get out of that body or she is going to be shut down. She turns to Ryan and
tells him again that she loves him and will always love him. She kisses him and
Gillian steps out of Opal’s body, leaving Opal standing limp. Ryan goes to Opal
and tries to understand what is going on. Gillian is upset that she came very
close to making love to her husband and missed it. Jesse tells her that she is
never to take possession of anyone’s body again without their position. He
leaves the room with her. Opal wonders out loud how she ever ended up there.
Ryan can see that his wife is gone. He explains to her that Gillian was inside
her. He grabs her and shouts, "Come back to me." She tries to calm him and she
gets up to leave because she is feeling very weak now. Ryan grabs her arms and
holds her there. He has a frantic look in his eyes. She tries to explain to him
that she is Opal and not Gillian. She has to get home to her son. She tells him
that Gillian must be gone again. She wishes that she could help him reconnect
with her, but he has to let her go. He asks for her forgiveness and tells her
that he is sorry. She is sorry too. She doesn’t know how this happened and she
doesn’t know what this means. The present is a gift. She kisses him and rises to
leave the yacht. After she is gone, he lies on the bed and Gillian and Jesse
return. They are unseen by Ryan. Jesse just wanted her to see the damage that
she has done. Ryan is a wreck. Gillian looks at him and can see that he is sad.
Now he has lost her twice. Dixie, Tad, Mateo and Jack are at the park and they are trying
sort out the problems with the murdered drug dealer and Jack. They all hear
sirens in the distance and all try to make a run for it. Dixie gets separated
from Tad and he doesn’t get back to her because Jack grabs him and throws him
down on the park bench. Tad looks up at him stunned. Jack wants to know if Tad
really did kill Sweeney. Tad says that he didn’t. The sirens go away and all in
the park relax. Dixie goes to Tad and they all relax. Jack doesn’t believe that
Tad was the one that killed Sweeney. He is an agent and he has revealed himself
to them. Jack hasn’t called for backup because Sweeney’s father is a cop and is
after Tad himself to vindicate his son’s killing. Jack assures them that he is
close to finding Sweeney’s killer. He might have to put Tad up in a Marcus is at the beach and Shannon is waiting for him. She
tells him that he is late. She called him there to collect on their arrangement.
She pulls him down on the sand with her and starts kissing him. He lets her. She
pulls his shirt off and starts kissing his chest. Shannon is sure that Rosa
doesn’t do that for him. She couldn’t possibly know what he likes. Marcus
succumbs to her kisses and they fall on the sand together. They continue kissing
when they hear people coming. They run to hide. Gabriel, Bianca and Rosa arrive
and find the belongings of the couple that was just there. She finds Marcus’
shirt and recognizes it as the shirt that Marcus was wearing earlier that night
at BJ’s. Jack and Mateo return to BJ. Mateo wants information, but Jack
is holding back. He knows his job and Mateo will just have to wait. Jack tells
Mateo to go and make a phone call. Erica has just walked in and Jack offers her
a drink. Mateo watches her from afar. Jack and Erica have a conversation and it
is clear that they are getting on better together. He brings her some soup and
he agrees to pick her up the following day. He gives her the drink on the house
and she picks up her package and leaves. Mateo comes over to him and makes a
joke about him pretending to be Erica’s handyman. He thinks that Jack is playing
with her because he thinks that she is involved somehow. There is a chance that
Erica is involved or if not, she is in danger. Back To The TV MegaSite's Main AMC Page
