Subject: GH: Soggy Update, Thursday May 18

First off, thanks to Nancy for doing the update last week while I was
touring the bookstores of the Pacific Northwest.  (Oh, and picking up
the college son, who is still asleep.)

Today's update will be pretty short.  It's hard to write while wiping
one's eyes, and today was definitely a 4-hanky day.

1. THE MDP FALLOUT CONTINUES
Bobbie is looking sad when the doorbell rings and it's Luke.  Can he stay
at the Brownstone?  He tells her what's been going on.  She is horrified, but
amazed that Laura (thinks: EarthMotherDoormat) has actually asked Luke to
leave. [Unfortunately my family did have a bit of VCR trouble and I lost
the last 30 minutes of Tuesday.  But it could have been worse.]  "Gee, our
spouses are straight, aren't they?"  Tony comes in and gets the story and
doesn't want Luke to stay.  Something about bullets and Lucas.  Bobbie
huffs that she DOES want Luke and Tony gives up: "your son, your house."

Luke goes to the club to see what's up, and Sonny wants to resolve personal
issues.  He apologizes, and tells Luke that he, Sonny, will get out of the
partnership if Luke wants.  Luke, of course, doesn't want.  Sonny is pleased.
(He probably will not be so happy with his other partnership.  Lois has had
the story from a still shaking, still furious, Brenda, and is coming to have
it out with Sonny.  I'm not sure if she's madder about the gang stuff or
that Nedly was right (he's going to say he told her so, too, isn't he?))

2. STONE AT GH
Stone is really unhappy when faced with two doctors, but Kevin tells Alan the
story, and Alan is very calm and collected.  Stone doesn't want to even
think about options, and Robin asks to talk to him alone.  She lays down the
law while Alan remarks to Kevin "Oh, my God.  Robin!" and Kevin says, low
key, "I know."  They come back in the room and Stone is willing to listen to
the medical remarks.  They want Robin to get tested and she refuses.  Stone
will not stay in the AIDS ward, and the word to Sonny and Mac is that he is
in for exhaustion.  Robin leaves with Alan and Kevin, who chase her into a
room and keep telling her to get tested.  Alan points out she gave Stone good
advice, and that she should give herself the same.  She says she doesn't
want to know.  Then she admits she's scared.  Kevin looks her in the eye and
tells her she NEEDS to know.  She agrees and Alan prepares to draw blood.

3.  THE ANNIVERSARY OF BJ'S DEATH.
Tony is rehashing his discussion with Frisco to Felicia and reiterates about
how angry he is that HE has lived a year without BJ and Frisco just takes
Maxie for granted.  Felicia wants to come along to the cemetary when they
go.  She also refers to the day as the anniversary of Maxie's health.

Meanwhile, at the cemetary, Lucy is planting pansies and talking to BJ about
how precious she was.  Lucy expresses regret at not savoring her days with
BJ more.  She would give anything she has for another afternoon.

Later Lucas gives BJ a stuffed kitty, and Tony and Bobbie wonder about the
pansies.  Bobbie theorizes it was Lucy and doesn't even make a nasty face.
They plan to say thanks.  They sit and say whatever comes to their mind.
Maxie goes up to the gravestone and talks to BJ.

Pardon me while I go bawl some more.....
