General Hospital Update for Monday, August 1

The Opening:  It's 4am in old Port Chuckles and the natives are restless...

The Nedling, fresh from Lois' bed,  slinks back to his and Katy's bedroom at
the Q mansion.  [Ned's wearing only pajama bottoms and this reporter must state
that he was quite an eyeful!  Wally Kurth must have been working out or
something because he looks especially delectable!  Now where does he keep those
leather pants??]  Back to the story...He slides into bed beside a sleeping Kate
and breathes a sigh of relief that he's made it safely.  Just then her eyes
snap open like some sort of demented fembot and she hisses at him, "it's 4am ..
where have you been all night?"  Kate starts to ream out Ned, who cravenly
blames Reginald for not delivering a message to her.  Ned claims there was a
broken pipe at the PC Hotel [Ned's own pipe seems to be holding up pretty well]
and the subsequent hotel crisis kept him away all night in town.  Then followed
a pretty funny montage of photos of Ned explaining himself and Kate, with a
bored expression, listening to him jabber on while not believing one thing he
said.  All the time this was going on, an old tune played in the background,
talking about lies.  [Editor note: it was "Lies" by the Knickerbockers]
After watching him do his Liar's Dance for a while, Kate
decided to forgive Ned, at least for the moment, and wanted to play "hide the
nozzle" with Capt. Neddie, Ace Fireman.  Ned pleaded exhaustion and told Kate
that he wasn't a "sex machine"!  Even after she offered to do all the "work"
and said Ned could lie there like a dead mackerel, he still rebuffed her, much
to her fury.  Later on, early breakfast at the Quartermaines was a chilly
affair with Kate ignoring Ned as he tried to fluff lightly over the events (or
non-events in Kate's view) of the previous night.  The danced around verbally
for a while before getting down to the real fight. Ned said that all of Kate's
demands have been met, including blackmailing him into "servicing" her [low
blow, Ned]. She reels a bit after this nasty one then tries to smooth things
over. Eventually telling Ned that she thinks their marriage has a LOT of
potential. After she leaves, Ned slumps on the sofa and daydreams of his
ever-loving Lois-doll.

Sean and the Tiffster pace their penthouse, blaming each other for not
supervising Robin more closely.  Filly arrives and quizzes them about where
Robin said she was going and with whom.  Filly calls Sonny to see if Stone is
at his apartment; perhaps Stone knows where Robin is.  A groggy Sonny answers
the phone and goes to check on Stone's bedroom.  Meanwhile he turns the phone
over to Brenda, who's in the sack with him.  A startled Felicia tells Brenda
that Robin is missing.  Sonny reports back that Stone's not in his bedroom.
Soon thereafter, there's a knock at the door and Stone drags himself in, looking
pretty beat up and exhausted.  Sean goes into his tiresome "outraged uncle"
act and demands an explanation.  Stone tells them about the hike, the hot
dogs, the campfire and the attack by the bikers (he omits the part about the
cocaine, the prophylactics, and the lewd "Campfire Girl" dance Robin did while
clad in nothing more than her fanny pack and hiking boots).  Felicia seems to
be the only one impressed by Stone's heroic behavior in nobly taking a beating
from the bikers while allowing Robin to escape.  All four of them leave for
the Port Charles Nature Preserve after Sean calls out the rescue team to meet
them there.

Brenda is fully awake now, and natters on at Sonny about Robin. He's sleepy and
grumpy (hey, two of the seven dwarves) and tells her to get over it.  Later on,
she leaves Sonny's and goes to the gatehouse where she mooses around a bit with
Miguel.  There's an awful moaning noise and we discover that it's actually
Miguel singing; he's making up a new song for his Lost Lilybell. Brenda shares
her fears about Robin and she and Miguel talk a while.  She tells him that she
feels better sharing her fears with him.  He says stuff to her but my index
finger twitched to the fast-forward button and couldn't hear what he said.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Port Charles Nature Preserve (PCNP), Mr. Bear gets
up for his 4am feeding and spies fresh Robin-meat on the trail.  Robin wakes up
just in time to see Ursa Major ambling toward her, jaws open and fangs gleaming
in the moonlight. She scampers down the trail and up a tree.  Mr. Bear paws and
claws at the tree trunk while Robin watches him from up in the branches.  The
search party finally hits the PCNP (love Tiff in pearls, heels and a dress).
They find evidence that Robin was there ... a hair ribbon, a sock, a bloody
toenail, her brassiere.  They also find what looks like her backpack, chewed
up and dripping with bear spit.  Eventually, they find the tree she was in and
examine the bear's claw marks on the trunk...the marks look ominous. There's
nobody around, though, Robin has either fled deeper into the forest or she's
become the morning entree for the bear family!
