From: njs@lhdsy2.lahabra.chevron.com (N.J.Spera) Subject: GH: Update, Wednesday, January 4, 1995 Date: 5 Jan 95 17:27:27 GMT Happy New Year everyone. Now on to the show. GENERAL HOSPITAL Wednesday, January 4, 1995 Today's Stories A Smooth Operator A Postcard from Camp Good Morning, Therapy, & Drinks & Dinner A Smooth Operator ----------------- At the club Luke and Lucky are checking out the newly arrived glassware [ok folks this guy just had a bullet pass through him a few weeks ago and he's lifting boxes of glasses????] and discussing the probability of Annabelle having Foster's puppies when a stranger enters and Foster goes into guard dog mode. But before long the man has won Foster over amazing Lucky and intriguing Luke. His name is Mike Corbin and he's heard Luke is opening a new club and is interesting in a job. He claims to be able to do a little of everything, cook, bartend, deal blackjack, and when asked where he's been working lately says, The Rusty Grille in Corning, a name he just happens to get from a box of matches on the bar. Corbin tries to sell Luke on watering down drinks for the non-regulars but Luke doesn't buy it but does say Corbin can hang around while Luke continues to work in the club. When Corbin finds out Luke doesn't have dinnerware yet Corbin suggests Luke go funky and get unmatched dinnerware. Corbin says he knows a distributer. Luke's not quite sure but wonders when he could be supplied and will have to see samples. Luke wants to know why Corbin is doing all this. Corbin claims that if Luke thinks he's valuable enough Luke will hire Corbin. When Corbin leaves Lucky comes out from the kitchen where he's been working and comments that Corbin is cool. However, Luke picks up the box of matchs and calls Corbin a very smooth operator. In a dark alley Corbin pulls up to a door where a barking dog can be heard. Corbin unlocks the door, pulls out some meat, cracks open the door and throws in the meat. The dog stops barking. Corbin throws in another piece of meat and tells the dog to have a nice nap. He walks in passed the dog, stretched out with glazed eyes. Sometime later Corbin is showing Luke samples of dinnerware and claims to have bought a wagonload. Luke is interested and the price is a "bargain." Luke thinks it's too low but as long if he wants to add 5% commission for Corbin it's a deal for Corbin. Luke will write a check to Corbin but will make no other promises while keeping Corbin in mind. When Luke goes off to get the check Corbin just smiles. A Postcard from Camp -------------------- Monica is saying goodbye to Annabelle in the Q's den, telling Annabelle to watch over Lila, and to occasionally give Alan a big, sloppy kiss when in comes Ned asking if she was planning on leaving without saying goodbye. When she asks if he would be surprised if she says yes Ned concedes that he wouldn't. Monica wonders why she can be so honest with him and Ned offers it's because they know each other too well. Ned encourages her to get on with her trip but also suggests that she not begrudge the men in her life some anxiety. Monica doesn't but can't handle all the sympathy. Ned gives her an encouraging hug as Alan, AJ and Jason come in with Alan asking if she's ready to go to the airport. Monica responds "No!" She wants to say goodbye at the house and to go to the airport alone. Alan and AJ press the issue but Ned just looks on and before kissing Monica and leaving just tells her to take care. Monica presses her case and Alan finally agrees. Monica gives AJ a "mogul" pep talk and encourages Jason to have fun in addition to all his studying and campaigning. She thanks Alan for loving her enough to give her the strength to go on her own as they hug. With an urging to come home soon Moncia heads out. AJ and Jason walk to the den door and watch her go but Alan doesn't and just stares off into space. AJ can't understand why Monica had to leave to get help. Alan tries to explain it but once again father and son are at it when AJ accuses Alan of not being around when she needed him and that's why Monica has to leave. Alan just leaves the room and AJ wonders why they always end up like that. He leaves the room and a quiet Jason picks up a family portrait and looks at it. Sometime later Monica arrives at her first Wellness group meeting. After the psychiatrist who leads the group tells about the purpose of the Wellness group a few of the members introduce themselves. Monica seems ill at ease. She is asked to introduce herself and says she's Dr. Monica Quatermaine, chief of cardiology at GH, Port Charles, NY very matter of factly and tells how she learned of the group. When asked to talk about her diagnosis she starts but asks if she can wait It's a bit much for her and just wants to listen. One of the other members figures correctly that Monica starts chemo the next day. When Monica has returned to her room she makes a phone call but the phone on the other end rings and rings and rings until an out-of-breath Ned, with a coat on, answers the phone. Everyone else is out and Monica finds out Ned was on his way out. When Ned can tell Monica is upset and he tells her to spill it. She's overwhelmed, wonders if she didn't make a mistake and is ready to return home. Ned suggests she hang in for a few days and give it a chance. Monica is reminded of a similar pep talk she gave AJ when he was homesick at summer camp and had convinced the counselors to let him call her. Ned gives her encouragement and agrees not to tell Alan about Monica's call. Good Morning, Therapy, & Drinks & Dinner ---------------------------------------- [K&L fans, you probably thought I'd never get here!] It's morning in the lighthouse. Kevin awakens, moves strands of Lucy's hair from her face. Lucy awakens, smiles and Kevin says "Good Morning." Lucy and Kevin discuss whether it was worth waiting and Lucy, in Lucy's very own way, admits she is glad they waited. Kevin admits the ghosts are gone which is exactly what Lucy wants...no one else in bed with them. Kevin thanks Lucy for being good... her tenacity...for pushing him to get past Grace. They agree it's going to be fun but first they're going to have breakfast. And then dinner. Lucy won't be able to cook. She's got loads of work at Deception and beside all there is in her refrigerator is OJ [please NO!] and pickles. So they agree to meet for dinner at the Outback and then head to her place. Lucy and Kevin dissolve into each others arms and under the covers. Later in the morning it's time for another therapy session for the Joneses. This one doesn't go too well as they deal with Tony being critical of Bobbie. Sarcasm flies no matter what they discuss. Bobbie wonders if Alan and Moncia manage to stick together despite their problems why can't she and Tony. But as Tony points out, he isn't Alan and Bobbie isn't Monica. They discuss each other's definition of love...and there is another point of difference. Not a good session. It's late afternoon or early evening when Alan shows up at the Outback. He doesn't want to go home. It dawns on Mac that this is the day Monica left for AZ. In comes Bobbie to join the pity party. Mac thought she and Tony were making progress but somehow what Mac says send Alan and Monica into gales of laughter. Later Alan and Bobbie are having dinner and their spirits seem to be better. Alan reminds Bobbie that Tony wouldn't be going through the therapy sessions if Tony didn't care for her. Just then in bounces Lucy. She makes a few remarks about Bobbie having a therapy session until Mac steers her away to her own table. Alan and Bobbie figure Lucy is either plotting or has a new man in her life. Bobbie remembers that Tony was married to Lucy and Alan reminds her he was as well but they both divorced Lucy. Then in comes Kevin. He heads straight for Lucy and they kiss. Bobbie doesn't like it. She's not sure she has confidence in her therapist if he really likes Lucy. Alan just stares in disbelief. Bobbie wants to warn Kevin about Lucy. She figures he's just infatuated with Lucy, just like she was with Damian. At least that's what she thinks the look on Kevin's face suggests. [Sorry Bobbie, no way!] Meanwhile Kevin seems to be off on another planet. Lucy brings him back to earth. There's still one ghost he has to confront. Lucy doesn't want to hear it but Kevin feels he does have to see Ryan before they can really explore what they have together. Till Next Time -- Nancy J.
