False Hope Is Better Than No Hope.

Tuesday, September 15 2009
Emily and Paul make wedding plans, Meg plans a romantic trip with Damian, and Damian and Lily sleep together!


Damian tells a jittery Lily that there is no way Holden could have survived his car accident. Lily thinks false hope is better than no hope. After she collapses from getting too dizzy, he wants to take her to the doctor. Damian is interrupted with a call from Meg, who orders him to get to her as soon as possible. Lily insists that Damian goes to see Meg.



Paul tells Emily he wants a short engagement. She suggests a justice of the peace, but he tells her it isn't happening! Emily goes on a tirade, but Paul tells her he wants to get married in a church in front of the whole world. Emily thinks it is foolish, considering their history, but Paul thinks it is a good way to prove to everyone they are forever. Emily laughs she isn't wearing white.



Damian goes to see an excited Meg, who informs him she booked a surprise trip for them to go to Aruba. Damian is surprised, but tells her he can't leave that night because the timing is too insensitive. Damian offers to pay for the expenses and go another time. Meg is disappointed, but says she will get over it. Damian doesn't want Meg to misunderstand. Meg wishes he had more time for her and cries she feels lonely. He pulls her into a passionate kiss and agrees to go away with her and leave that night.



At the doctor's, Lily tells Susan she feels like she is going crazy. Susan thinks she needs something stronger to sleep. Lily is concerned because of a previous addiction, but Susan assures her the prescription will only be a few days to get her back to a normal sleep pattern. She then tells Lily to think of happy memories with Holden before she goes to sleep so she will have better dreams.



Lily looks at a picture of Holden and says, "Good times, that is what I'll dream about." She takes a sedative and goes to sleep. She hears Holden's voice and thinks she sees Holden sitting on the edge of the bed. He asks her to come to him. She groggily follows him. Lily sleepwalks all the way to the pond and thinks she sees Holden swimming. He tells her to come in and he will keep her warm. She swims over to her vision of him and kisses him. He tells her he would never leave her. He then begins to drown and begs Lily to save him. She frantically begins to call for help. Damian passes by the pond and jumps in to save Lily!



Henry tells Vienna he is going to see the attorney about James's will. Vienna tells Henry she is leaving him! Henry begs her to stay, but she tells him she will be on a plane the next day if the money isn't gone. Audrey arrives at their suite. When Vienna realizes Henry can't give up the money, she leaves. Henry tells Audrey he is giving all the money to charity! Audrey thinks there is a charitable way to keep Vienna and the money. She offers to help him for half of the estate if she pulls it off. Audrey thinks that her friend Ralph can help. She explains that Ralph knows how to funnel money through a charitable foundation and it can be channeled through Metro. Henry thinks hooking up with a gangster and laundering money is out of the question!



Emily tells Susan she is marrying Paul. Susan retorts that Paul is flakier than a croissant and was just in love with Meg. She then remarks that she wishes Emily was marrying someone she hadn't previously shot in the back. Emily insists that Paul has changed, but Susan wonders what she will do when Paul wakes up to his old ways. Emily begs Susan to celebrate with them. Susan agrees to because she is her daughter and loves her.



Meg arrives at Fairwinds with Eliza. She asks if Paul will keep Eliza for two weeks. He happily agrees, but wonders why she would ask him to keep Eliza given their history. Meg explains that she is going to Aruba with Damian. When Paul doesn't freak out, she thinks it is proof that he has changed. He tells her all he's ever wanted is for her to be happy. He then tells Meg he is marrying Emily because they are kindred spirits. Meg reminds him they were married and had a child and she is nothing like Emily. Paul remarks with Emily he can be himself, but is happy they have Eliza. As they hug, Emily walks in to see the embrace. Meg explains that Eliza is staying with them for a few weeks. Emily asks if Meg is going to always pop in, but Paul tells her Meg is going away with Damian. Meg thinks they are all getting what they want and leaves.



Damian carries a confused Lily back home. She tells him Susan gave her some sleeping pills. Lily thinks Holden was there, but he points out she was sleepwalking. Lily cries it was heaven seeing Holden. Damian changes into a robe while his clothes dry. He notices Lily is shivering and gets into bed with her to keep her warm. He then begins to kiss her. The two begin to make love!



Henry goes back to his suite with flowers for Vienna. He informs her he realized he couldn't enjoy being rich without her. He promises to sign the papers and give his money away to charity. An ecstatic Vienna embraces Henry and thanks him for giving up millions for her! She tells him she will never love anyone the way she loves him and kisses him passionately.



Meg calls Damian and tells him she has a surprise for him and is ready to leave. She pulls out a skimpy bikini and smiles. She then leaves and goes to his suite, but gets no answer!



Audrey greets her friend Ralph, who is happy they are working together. She tells him that Henry agreed to their deal. He hopes Henry won't cause them any trouble.



Next on As The World Turns:

Faith runs away from the house as Luke yells for her to stop!

Luke witnesses as Lily runs out calling for Faith in her robe, and a shirtless Damian follows.

Damian tells Meg, "It's true, I slept with Lily." She slaps him hard across the face!

Maeve holds a gun to Ebb's head and says, "This is to make sure he doesn't follow us."

As Holden and Maeve are running through the woods, they fall into a trap!

So predictable isnt it..I may be in the minority here but I liked Meg and Paul together,,,I just hope that he and Em can actually have a marriage but knowing soap writers they wont be happy for long..Cant wait to see the fallout tomorrow though with Lily and Damien with the Snyder clan lol...

Yes Tnelli I can't wait either. I wander when Holden comes back will he forgive her. Now I wander when Molly comes back will see and Holden get back together.

NO doctor would have prescribed pills to Lily knowing of her addiction. Especially Susan who is an alcoholic. She would have tried all sorts of things before saying, "oh it's jut this one time." And Damian? What he did was rape, pure and simple. Just as controlling as always. Yeah, that's true love for sure. I almost feel sorry for Meg cause all she is is a cover for Damian. Poor Faith. Life is confusing enough at her age.

Good afternoon to all.

This show is getting good again, with some of the old/new people coming back, it will be worth watching. I am a Lily and Damian fan, I remember when they were married, and his mother she is the one who broke these two up, she was a really bad person. I think that Lily really loves both of them, Holden and Damain, when Holden finds out that she had sex with Damian, he will leave again. I think that, is why Molly is being brought back in the story. Meg just needs to let go of Damian, he is still in love with Lily, and Meg can see this, after all he is telling her, that he is really in love with Lily, by his actions. Lily needs to set down with Faith and Damian and have an honest talk. Paul and Emily are just two peas in a pod, they deserve each other. All have a peaceful day.

I hope he doesnt forgive her. I never cared for Lily's character anyway..she is just too weird...but morisey you bring up a good point..why would a doctor prescribe a former addict pills to help her sleep..sleeping pills are the easiest thing to get addicted to. but of course in soapland, where kidnappers, attempted murderers, attempted rapists, and embezzlers dont get punished, what can we expect lol..

I'm not hyping up on any of what I saw today.
Meg and Damien both are predatory and we shouldn't be surprised at today's events. All of these relationships are unhealthy - and now Holden will drag back to town with another problem (Maeve).
Faith needs to get out of that house because it destroys her. Luke is about as lame-brained as he is cute. He should know what's bothering his sister.

I'm guessing from the lack of comments, that many, like myself, think this show is going downhill.

I'm tired of Paul and Emily. I'm really tired of Meg.
And what has happened to Kim and Bob? Are they both still wandering around the hospital taking care of each other?

The Adam storyline needs to go. It's too absurd.

Why do they have to make Vienna such an idiot?????

Damian is still scum!!!!!

I'm happy for Paul and Em!

That is such a PERFECT picture of Susan above! LOL

Oh Hoden honey, come home, come home soon!!!!!
