From: njs@lhdsy2.lahabra.chevron.com (N.J.Spera) Subject: GH: Update, Wednesday March 1, 1995 Date: 2 Mar 95 16:48:59 GMT GENERAL HOSPITAL Wednesday, March 1, 1995 Today's Stories Not A Done Deal Is There Somebody Else? A Visit to Beechers Corners Something That Needs To Be Taken Care Of Not A Done Deal --------------- Alan gets a call from Monica at GH. She gives him the sad news about Page and after Alan reiterates his offer to do anything for Page and Emily, Monica floors him with the idea of raising Emily and taking care of Page during Page's last months. He figures that when Page and Emily meet the family they'll run from the room screaming. Monica and Alan agree to discuss it but Monica is determined that raising Emily is the right thing to do and makes all she's gone through have a purpose. But before they hang up it is agreed it's not a done deal. Just as Alan hangs up, Bobbie is at Alan's elbow and asks what is wrong. Alan tells Bobbie about Monica's new focus, Page and Emily instead of herself. Bobbie is floored and Alan finds himself feeling selfish for wanting Monica to himself (and for the boys) now that he and she have survived another crisis in their marriage. Alan just can't understand how Monica could have made the offer unilaterally. Bobbie reminds Alan that Monica and Page bonded in a most intimate way but Alan doesn't want their lives turns upside down with the addition of a little girl in their life, no matter how great Emily is. That causes Bobbie to point out that the same thing happened to her and Tony when they took custody of Lucas, even if they had raised him some when Lucas was a baby. To keep Alan from going home and brooding all evening Bobbie invites him to join her at Luke's, to hear Mary Mae and Alan accepts. Is There Somebody Else? ----------------------- Just as Steve is about to leave for the hospital Tom arrives, he has something to tell his parents. Audrey is thrilled to see him but her mood shifts when Tom tells them he and Simone are ending their marriage. Tom tries to explain how important the hospital in Chad is. Since Simone doesn't want to pull up stakes to join him and rather than make her miserable by forcing her to join him and or have Tom be resentful if he returned to Port Charles they have decided to end their marriage even though they still love each other. Audrey is concerned about Tommy and then asks "Is there somebody else?" They are disturbed when Tom answers yes and that it is Tom who has had the affair [ah, Audrey thought it was Simone and Justus!]. Tom knows his parents are disappointed in him and that Steve is particularly disappointed that Tom won't be following in Steve's footsteps at GH. But for Tom, to live up to his idol, Steve, he has to be the best doctor he can be and for Tom that is in Chad. Steve has had enough, he can't take anymore. His heart is broken and he heads off to work. Once he's gone Audrey voices her concerns that she's losing both Tom (to Africa) and Tommy, since grandparents always get lost in the mix when there's a divorce. Meanwhile over at the Ward house Simone unloads on Mary Mae. Mary Mae tries to support Simone's decision and when Simone laments that she feels like a failure Mary Mae comforts her. Justus comes in to see the two women "crying in their beer." Before she leaves Simone promises to be at Luke's for Mary Mae's performance. When Justus asks what was going on, Mary Mae lets slip that Tom and Simone are splitting. There's a gleam in Justus' eye, but Mary Mae warns him to stay disciplined since Simone is hurting. A Visit to Beechers Corners --------------------------- Before Luke and Lucky head off to see Laura they stop at the Wards to inform Mary Mae and to let her know they'll be back in time for her performance. When she asks if Laura and Lesley Lu will be returning with them...it's no, he's going to tell Laura about Sean. When they arrive at Beechers Corners Laura and the baby are at the library. Mrs. Whitaker can tell something is up and she takes Lucky and Foster with her to get apples. Laura returns and knows by the pink boat outside that Luke is there. She's all excited and that baby is fascinated by the stage lights. Laura is deeply disturbed by Luke's news and especially upset she can't be with Tiff for Tiff's pregnancy and to see their children play together, etc. Luke tries to apologize but Laura wants to know WHY? Luke tries to explain about Scully and Sonny and immediately Laura connects Sonny to all their troubles lately: in PR, the firebombing and Sean. When Luke says he can't stop when Laura asks if he would stop if she asked him Laura wonders where his loyalties are...with Sonny or with her and his family. Luke goes on about taking care of the problem... with Sonny when Laura suggests Sonny take care of it himself. But no this is about Luke and the club. Laura "gives in" but requests no guns. Then Luke drops his other bombshell...Laura and Lesley Lu will have to stay put. Laura is not a happy camper but before she can respond Mrs. Whitaker and Lucky return. Laura is thrilled to see her son, but Lucky sees there is about to be a big fight over Luke's instructions that Laura stay in Beechers Corners. Something That Needs To Be Taken Care Of ---------------------------------------- Scully comes into Luke's and asks to see Mike's boss. Mike assumes he's asking for Luke, but Luke is not there. But no, Scully is looking for Sonny. So Mike buzzes Sonny out from the back. They are about to start talking but before they do Sonny waves Mike out of the room. Sonny asks Scully to lay off Luke. Sonny will handle him since Sonny has Luke's trust, and he informs Scully that "Luke can be brought around." [And what are you trying to sell Sonny?] Scully agrees to let Sonny handle Luke and then asks about his proposal to Sonny. Scully has checked around and has been unable to find out the source of Sonny's financing. Sonny says his partner is not only silent but also invisible. Sonny "does want to make it happen" with Scully but on Sonny's timetable. That's ok with Scully, he's in no hurry. After Scully is gone Mike asks Sonny about a wine order and you could cut the tension in the room with a knife. Mike makes a note that anytime Scully's been around there is tension and starts to offer an opinion about Sonny and Scully but before he gets very far Sonny flies off the handle and leaves the room. Brenda hears and Mike tries to say they're all on the same side. She's not taking sides but she's loyal to Sonny, something that Mike notes is very important to Sonny. However when Brenda lets slip that Scully won't be a problem, that Sonny is taking care of that, Mike realizes that THERE IS something that needs to be taken care of.
