Gus proposed again to Harley, on bended knee. At first she turned him down, not being able to affirm their relationship because she didn’t know where it stood. She asks him for the truth: If he loves Natalia. The answer is no, he loves only her. He carries on with a romantic speech and by the end she agrees to marry him again and they embrace. Aaawwwww, Gus and Harley back together. But what will Natalia do, and what does Alan have up his sleeve?

All CBS soaps will be pre-empted on Monday, September 3, and Friday, September 7, for coverage of the U.S. Open.

Paul and Rosanna showed up at Fairwinds and kicked Craig and Meg out on their butts. It so happens that Fairwinds is still in Rosanna’s name so they are taking the Montgomerys to the cleaners. Meg tells Rosanna how Paul fell because he wouldn’t take Craig’s hand and how they were in love and going to be married. She tells her how Craig was there for her through it all. This must have gotten her thinking because when they got to their new room at the Lakeview she told him that she wanted to be his wife in EVERY WAY and she got naked. That’s right: naked. Bow chicka wow, WOW.
Will showed up at home and Gwen told him about loosing the baby. Then, to make matters worse, the doctor called and told Gwen that her getting pregnant this time was a fluke and there’s no chance of it happening again. She cried and cried. It was horrible. I’m so sad for Gwen and I’m sort of pissed at the writers. They better bring her something good and fast!

I am so upset about today’s episode. I didn’t think the writer’s would ever do it to us, but they have: Gwen had a miscarriage. Allison was with her and called Susan over to help. She thanked Ali for her support, but she doesn’t want to call Will to let him know.
Also, Paul and Meg came face to face today. Meg fainted flat out. Craig helped her to regain conciousness, but then she saw Paul and Rosanna and stood stunned. Paul was cold to her and referred to her as “Craig’s wife.” Rosanna saw how she looked at Paul and knew that there was something more between them. Wonder what will happen next!
And, I can’t forget, Dusty was found with a dead Cheri and Margo hauled him down to the station for questioning then informed him that he was, infact, a suspect.

Everyone gathered together to testify again today on whether or not they think Phyllis should go to jail. Noah, Daniel and Sharon took the stand for Phyllis, while Lilly and Brad tried to persuade everyone that she should be locked up for good. Phyllis then took the stand in her own defense and we’ll have to wait until next week to find out what the sentence will be.

Phyllis, took the stand

Many star performances shined on screen during today’s Boldface Records concert on The Bold & The Beautiful. Phoebe was confused over her feelings for Rick as she prepared to possibly sing with him. They spent some time gazing at each other from a distance during songs with meaningful lyrics. Rick told her that she could believe every word he sang to her.
Stephanie confronts Brooke with papers showing Ridge is filling for custody and Brooke looses it!
Constantine announces “The winner is….” and of course, we’ll have to tune in Monday.

Gwen and Cole came face to face today, when Sofie set up a meeting between the two so that Gwen could help Cole in the music biz. She can’t believe he is standing in front of her. It turns out that he left her alone with Iris when she was only ten years old. He wouldn’t return her phone calls or help her in any way and she is furious with him. She also suspects that he is just trying to use her. Cole is angry with Sofie for setting him up like this.
Rosanna asks Paul how long she’s been “gone” and he tells her its been two years. He fills her in on Jennifer’s death, Johnny living with Lucy, and Craig’s prison stay for running her off the road. She wants to return to Oakdale.
Meg and Craig bring food to Carly’s house and Carly tears into Craig for his past. She brings up the subject of Rosanna and Meg helps jack with his injuries.

David Andrew MacDonald will be returning to Guiding Light as Edmund, the villain we love to hate. Also, Daniel Cosgrove will be returning as Bill. The extent and context of each actor’s return has yet to be released, but you can expect to see them both on screen in the near future.

Today on As The World Turns we saw the return of the dangerous Dusty. He confronted Cheri about the internet video to which Cheri replied, “There’s nothing you can do to me that hasn’t already been done.” Dusty decalred, “You’re wrong about that. DEAD wrong!” Watch out Cheri, you’re about to get what’s coming to you. I think everyone loves to see this side of Dusty. He kicks but and doesn’t bother with the names.
Jack and Carly returned home with J.J. to find Sage and Parker happily greeting them. Jack talked to Katie alone, who told him she was going to Hawaii on business and she’d be back in a few days. He professed his love for her, which I’m not really buying anymore, and they agreed to set a wedding date when she returns. Having overheard their conversation, Brad tells Katie that leaving was the stupidest thing she could do and leaving Carly alone with Jack was a bad move. She gives Brad a long speech about being in an adult relationship and making a decision to be faithful and trust each other. Then their hands touch and they have a moment. It appears to be a moment of temptation for Katie as Brad looks at her with love and desire. She takes her hand back and walks away. The more I see the two of them together the more it feels right for them to be together. Katie and Jack just don’t spark as much as she does with Brad. And I can see the sparks fly with Carly and Jack more than they have in a very long time.
Jack goes to see the kids and tells them that Katie will be gone, so he will be spending a few days with them. They beg him to stay their at Carly’s house and he agrees to stay on the couch. Carly looks very hopeful for what the next few days may bring.

Coop finally realized his true feelings today and broke up with Ava because he wants to be with Ashley. He went over to Ashley’s room to find a half naked dude, who he promptly threw out. He told Ashley that he left Ava because he wants her. He said that he wasn’t ready for it before, but he’s ready for it now and he’s happiest when he’s with her. She told him that she had a hard time believing what he said because he found it so hard to care for her. She said that it was effortless to love him and tell him how she feels. She asked him to leave and told him to come back when loving her was easy for him to do.
Marina questioned Olivia at the station about the accident while Josh and Cassie ran all over town trying to find someone to marry them right then and there. They failed in their quest and remain unmarried. Reva thought about going to find Josh but ended up on Jeffrey’s door step instead. She told him that she needed him and they kissed.
Overall, not a really exciting day for the light, but I am very glad Coop got rid of Ava. (Go Ashley!)

We saw it for the first time today: daytime television’s first male same sex kiss. The love triangle between Luke, Noah, and Maddie continues with a dynamic event. Luke is helping Noah prepare for lunch with his father. He helps him with his tie and the close encounter turns into a big time smooch. Noah is aware of Luke’s sexuality, but is still conflicted about his own. Its seems he is struggling to understand his feelings for Luke and reconcile them with his upbringing and the expectations placed on him by his father. Poor Maddie seems caught in the middle, but I shouldn’t say “poor” Maddie, because she doesn’t seem very emotionally invested to me. It’s not even realistic, to me, that she would stay in Oakdale for him. She doesn’t feel for him what she does for Casey, anyway. I’m happy for Luke, in a way, though I’m sure he will have an uphill battle striving for a relationship with someone who is “confused.”
I think it’s a wonderful thing that daytime drama has taken this step.
Oh, yeah, and Carly goes under some quicksand in the rescue of J.J.

Phyllis prepared for her interview with the probation officer who will recommend her sentence to the judge. She practiced answers with Michael and dressed herself up in a pink cardigan with pearls. Somehow the Assistant D.A. found out that Phyllis almost ran from the verdict. Everyone is trying to find out who told her, when Sharon has a flashback of telling Brad. She knows it was Brad who told Heather of Phyllis’s intentions. Sharon goes to tell Jack what she remembered and his campaign manager announces that the officer has arrived to interview them.

Rosanna awakened from her coma today, just as Paul was leaving the room. She said, “please don’t go.” The last thing she remembered was Paul’s voice and needing to tell him something. Then, as she remembers what it was, she becomes hysterical in her hospital bed.
Craig tells Meg how he couldn’t bring himself to visit Rosanna in the hospital because of his feelings of guilt. He tells her that even though it was unintentional, the accident was still his fault. He doesn’t wish to return to the past, but to move on to the future with Meg.
Iris and Cole meet at the diner. She seems to have a relationship with him that is just as bad as the one she has with Gwen. We find out that he knows of Gwen and has bought her CD. He has music ambitions of his own that he wants Gwen’s help with, but he hasn’t approached her yet. He knows that she doesn’t know he exists, so he’s hesitant to talk to her.
Allison trashes on Gwen while talking with Will. Will tells her that Gwen is trying to be her friend and if she can’t stop talking bad about her then she will loose his friendship. Allison grudgingly agrees.
Okay, I hate Allison and I always have! Although I think I preferred the old stupid Ali over the new bitchy, porn star Ali. She’s a disaster, and a depressing one at that. I don’t see how anyone finds her attractive. And the fling with Dusty only made me loose respect for Dusty. I simply thing her character is a drag and I get up to go to the bathroom when she comes on screen. Come on ATWT, give us some new interesting characters like Kit, who are here to stay for a while. I sure wouldn’t take a pee break with her on screen.

Cyrus went to see Marina and told her that they needed to take a break. She argued with him, desperate to hold on to him, until he told her that she deserved better and it was time for him to walk away. Marina was crushed and fell on the door crying when he left the room.
Ashley let loose on her mother in front of everyone, defending the Coopers. She said that people pushed her away because of Doris, and not because of who she was. The Coopers tried to comfort Ashley, but when Ashley saw her mother crying she left and went to Doris. Doris told Ashley that being Mayor wouldn’t mean anything without her and that Coop would never love her like she wanted and deserved to be loved. Meanwhile, Coop turned up at Marina’s room looking for Ashley, so that he could comfort her. He told Marina that he may have feelings for Ashley, but he didn’t know yet.
Josh and Cassie make plans to be married as soon as possible.
