         General Hospital Update for Monday, May 15, 1995

The real action Monday took place in the Luke/Sonny/Mob storyline.  We were
also forced to endure Bimba and Bozo as a sideline. Here goes...

The story continues from last Friday's show, wherein mob-guys shot up Sonny's
apartment, wounded two of his soldiers, wounded Stone in the leg and had just
started to attack the occupants of the Spencer house.

Outside Luke's Club Stone huddles with Robin who tearfully asks, "wha hoppen?"
He warns her not to move.  Both Robin and Stone were injured; he by a bullet
to the leg and she by flying glass.  She is worried about his wound; all he
can see is his blood on her.  He frantically tries to wipe his blood from her
hands and yells "NO! NO!"  Stone keeps babbling at Robin that it's HIS blood
that got on her. She doesn't understand why he's so upset about his blood
being on her and tries to embrace him.  He winces as if in pain, "don't touch
me!" he yells/pleads.  Then he runs off into the night.  Harry comes up then
and asks if she's okay.  He's headed upstairs to check out Sonny's apartment.
Harry leaves and tearfully Robin looks at the street ... Stone has disappeared.

Upstairs in Sonny's apartment, the camera slowly pans the shot-up shower and
the piles of safety glass.  The water is still beating down on a prone Brenda.
We see her legs (no blood) then a close-up of her arms and head.  Looks like
superficial cuts on her head.  Brenda slowly awakens and does a quick
inventory, "I had two when I came in" she remembers.  Satisfied that no body
parts were shot off, she tremblingly crawls out of the shower and grabs a
bathrobe.  Slowly she makes her way to the kitchen and grabs a phone.  She's
just (presumably) dialing 911 when Harry and one of Sonny's boys burst in.
Brenda screams in terror.  Harry comforts her and tells her Sonny is at
Luke's house.  Brenda is shocky and Harry tries to calm her down.  He leaves
to fetch Robin upstairs.  When the gals see each other they tearfully hug.
Robin explains about Stone then calls Unkie Mac.  Mac arrives later, relieved
that Robin is okay.  As he hugs Robin he says, "I'm just glad you're alive ...
both of you" he stares at Brenda.  He offers to take Brenda to their house
but she declines, saying she wants to wait for Sonny.  The police arrive to
take the girls' statements; Robin wants them to search for the wounded Stone.

At the Spencer house Sonny has thrown himself over Lucky and Luke is behind
the upturned dining table.  The goons were bursting through the door. Sonny
and Luike both fired their guns.  Eeeeek!  Gun-toting bad guys seem to be
popping up everywhere: through doors, windows, down the chimney, etc. Bullets
are flying fast and furious.  Luke shoots the last two guys inside the house
and suddenly everything is quiet.  He orders Sonny to take Lucky to the
basement for safety.  They think there is one last bad guy.  Luke starts to
hunt him down.  Sonny stashes Lucky then creeps back through the house.
Upstairs, Laura is clutching Lesley Lu and staring fearfully at the door as
she hears the popping of guns.  Then she puts the baby in a car-seat and
stashes her in the closet.  She takes a shotgun out of the closet, loads it,
and creeps out the door and onto the landing.  She heads for the back stairs.
As Laura is carefully stepping down the stairs, Luke is prowling inside the
house and Sonny is creeping the grounds...still searching for the last goon.
In the living room, Luke starts heading up the front stairs.  He calls out
Laura's name a couple of times; the goon hones in on the sound.  Meanwhile,
Laura has reached the kitchen and is stunned at the dead bodies that litter
her floor.  A thought flutters through her mind ("I wonder if all that blood
will stain May-Mae's old lineoleum flooring?") but she pushes gamely toward
the living room.   Luke is now midway up the front stairs, still bellowing
Laura's name.  The goon has hidden himself in he living room and has a perfect
shot at the old pork chop.  Luke turns away from the living room (toward the
front door?) and we see his face close to the camera.  Behind him we see the
goon standing up, gun raised at Luke's back.  We hear a blast, Luke's eyes
widen...cut to commercial.  Of course, it wasn't the goon who pulled the
trigger but the little woman who blew the baddie away. Luke and Sonny regroup
with Laura, who immediately goes upstairs to check the baby.  Luke calls PCPD
and reports an attack on his house.  Sonny calls Brenda and gets the report
about her and his apartment.  He talks to Harry; they agree that the attack,
while vicious, was pretty amateurish and they assume the worst is over.  Sonny
takes his leave and Luke and Lucky join the gals upstairs in Lesley Lu's
bedroom.
Laura, in tears, tells Luke "I can't do this any more  ...  I CAN'T!"
Luke sinks down in a chair, sick with worry.

At home with Bimba and her Bozo
============================================================
Frisco tucks Maxie into bed and he tries to teach her jungle animal sounds
(gack!).  Filly is eavesdropping outside the door.  He exits Maxie's room and
saunters into Filly's bedroom then flops on the bed, still blatting away about
Maxie but all the time casually getting his "Tab A" ready for insertion into
her "Slot B".  They moose around, he pretends to read the newspaper and
announces he's looking for work.  Eventually they kiss and wind up in the sack.
They talk, they hump, yadda yadda yadda.
