     General Hospital Update for Monday, March 20, 1995

Done in Johnny-Style:

Filly sadly wanders around her apartment, smelling Baby Georgia's clothing.
She picks up a romper [sniff], a blankie [sniff], a diaper [sniff]...whoa!
She faints.  Quickly roused by a commotion at the door, she staggers over and
admits Kevin and Lucy, who tell her that Mac and crew will be along any minute.
Kevin tells Filly that Ryan called him and they've traced the call.  He and
baby are in Canada in some cheap motel, ordering pizzas and watching HBO.
They're surrounded by the Canadian police, though, so not to worry.  Mac blows
in with Garcia [wah-OOOOH!  He is one hot hunk of chorizo, no??].  Everyone
studies a map of Canada and they all prepare for a road trip.

Cut to Ryan in the motel room, babbling to the baby.  Hmmm..  Looks like he's
bonded with Georgie; they're both wearing "I (heart) Sociopaths" pins.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Lila is beside herself with worry over Edward.
Alan, A.J., Jason, Ned and Reggie decide to form a search party.  Lois stays
behind to comfort Lila.

In a cave not far away, Edward is going to the dogs!  He's snuggled up with
Annabelle and puppy, trying to stay warm.  Hang on, old dude, Foster is nearby
leading Luke and Lucky to the rescue.  The Spencer boys find Edward, racked
with pain from a broken leg.  Luke covers him with his coat, instructs Lucky
to keep Edward from losing consciousness, and runs to get the medicos.

Mac, Garcia, Kevin, Lucy, and Filly leave for Canada.  Garcia's not in the car
with the others, so he must be traveling with police guys.

Above Luke's club, Sonny and Brenda discuss Ryan and his nutiness.  Soon the
subject curves around to parents and children and how much a child remembers
from early, bad experiences.  Brenda draws Sonny out and soon he tells her the
sad tale of his messed-up childhood.  His mother was sweet, but weak.  His
stepfather, Stefano, was a sadist who beat him.  He was headed on the road to
petty crime when he hooked up with Joe Skully, etc.  Brenda promises him that
his heart is safe with her [gee, the scenes between these two were terrific
today, especially Brenda].  We also learn that Brenda will be turning 21 next
week.

At La Spa, Monica gets a late night phone call from Paige, who needs some
reassurance; the gals talk and cry together. They plan to leave for Port
Chuck the next day.

On the way to Canada, Kevin relates his phone call from Ryan. They speculate
if Connie was the one who helped Ry-baby pull off his stunt.  Felicia admits
that she's upset because Frisco isn't there.   "What is he doing that could be
more important than this?" she asks angrily.

Lila dishes some dirt from her past when she tells Lois that she was once
married, briefly, before Edward.  He was a cad who married her for her money
and her dad bought the slimeball off.  She was heartbroken but met Edward
soon thereafter and the rest is history.  They talk about Lois and Ned's
marriage and how well-packed Ned is in those leather pants.  All of a sudden,
Luke, Lucky, and Annabelle burst into the library with Annabelle's puppy. Lila
is still worried about Edward out in the snow.  They quickly relate his
condition and say he's safe at the hospital and should be home soon.

Outside Ryan's door at the motel, Kevin knocks softly and tries to convince
Ry-baby to open the door.  No response.  To everyone's horror, a frustrated
Mac kicks the door down and everyone rushes in.  Ryan and baby Georgie are
gone; only her pathetic little I.D. bracelet is left. [Er, now I don't want
to pick unnecessarily, but wasn't the motel "surrounded" by Canadian police?
Ryan's not some superhero who can turn invisible and walk thrugh walls, so
how did he eel through the net?  Especially toting a squalling baby?  Was
there a hockey game on that distracted the Canadians?  Come on GH writers,
get a grip.]
