Paul (Roger Howarth) is dead set on making Damian and Dusty enemies. Will his plans come to fruition?

The Fourth of July is (shockingly) almost upon us, and summer's heating up around the country. "As The World Turns" is following suit, natch; read on for a look into what you can expect in Oakdale next week.

Nothing says "I want to date you" like buying up the lion's share of stock in an international conglomerate, are we right? Such is the case of Damian, who is really starting to get on Dusty's bad side with his pursuit of the fair Meg. Paul sees a chance to pit Damian and Dusty against each other, and he takes it. Perhaps he's still holding a candle for Ms. Snyder ...

Meanwhile, in the melee that follows Margo's shooting, she reveals a secret that she begs Casey to keep for her. As in ... Riley is really the not-so-dead Adam! But can Casey keep that info a secret for very long?

Speaking of Casey, the saga that is the Alison/Hunter/Casey love triangle continues. Something tells us Casey's none too pleased that Allison's been spending so much time with Hunter, and Allison herself is shocked when -- during an emotional moment -- Hunter kisses her.
