         General Hospital Update for Monday, June 12, 1995

At Luke's Club -
============================================================================
Lucy tries to convince Kevin that Madame Maia Montebello is a genuine psychic
who will be able to tell her how Baby Serena is doing.  Kevin remains skeptical
and points out that Madame Maia could have gotten news of Lucy's background
from any number of people in town.  He warns Lucy to be CAREFUL and not give
Maia carte blanche.  He says Maia might be setting Lucy up for some reason but
old Luce insists that she's going ahead with a private consultation.  She NEEDS
to find out more about Serena.  Later on, after making love, Kevin pleads with
Lucy to guard her heart from being broken.  Then he says he loves her. {gee,
all this and a duck to come home to...life is grand isn't it?]

At the Gatehouse -
============================================================================
Brenda and Sir Simian thrash it out.  He thinks he wants to return to Puerto
Rico [YES!!] but she convinces him that L&B needs him.  Ned and Lois blow into
the gatehouse, fresh from their honeymoon.  Brenda hits them with news of the
Chimp's impending defection.  Ned suggests the only way to keep Mig around is
to buy Sonny out; both girls yell at him for this suggestion.  Lois finally
gets rid of Brenda & Company.  She sheepishly reminds Ned of an old tradition
that newlyweds engage in.  "I'm way ahead of you, Dollface" Ned replies as he
dexterously manages to unzip his pants with one hand and with the other he
reaches around behind and magically produces a quart of Mazola oil and a rubber
sheet.  "Oh, no!  Not THAT tradition" Lois honks, "the one where you carry me
over the threshold!" Ned complies and staggers through the door with his bride.

At the Q mansion in Paige's bedroom -
============================================================================
Monica enters the bedroom where Emily lays curled up next to Paige. She wants
to check Paige's pulse.  "Waste of time, Doc" says Emily, who then explains
that Paige has dropped her bod.  In a quavering voice Monica asks when it
happened.  Emily drones on while Monica fights to keep her composure.  Then
Emily says she wants to stay with Paige until the mortuary guys arrive to cart
her off for cremation.  Monica and Emily discuss cremation and Emily wonders
what to do with Paige's ashes.
[Cut to the future, two days hence.  A man from the mortuary delivers a small
box at the Quartermaine front door.  Reggie receives it and, overcome with
curiosity, opens the lid to peek at the contents.  The Great Cosmic
Clown causes a stray ash to tickle his nose.  AH-AH-AH-CHOOOOEY!  Dust billows
up like a dense fog.  Reggie scampers off and fetches the Hepa Clean Air
Machine.  He turns it to "Full Suck/Madonna"!  Paige eventually finds herself
caught in the filter which is then put into the Quartermaine's dishwasher. She
gets whirled down the drain, travels through a maze of pipes, and eventually
ends up in Port Charles harbor. Then she is drawn into the intake valve of the
water processing plant and, in one of those cosmic-ironic  man-woman things,
is returned to the Q mansion's spa near the gatehouse.  The water that is/was
Paige gets splashed out of the spa that night when Ned and Lois cavort around
the edge.  Ned sits by the edge of the pool, on Paige, and she is soaked up
into his Speedos.  Before she can check him out, Lois rips the panties off her
weasel and the two newlyweds collapse to the concrete rolling around and
humping wildly.  It dawns on Paige then, as the last flicker of her
consciousness runs down the coping and into Lila's rose garden, that she
finally understands the mystical and esoteric message behind the phrase
"getting your ashes hauled"...wow, satori!
Later on, Monica boo-hoos all over Alan's smurf-colored shirt.  She admits
that she was angry at Emily for wanting to be alone with Paige when she died
[wow, and I thought Bobbie had cornered the market on selfishness].  Upstairs
in her bedroom Emily prepares for bed.  She crawls between the sheets,
clutching Paige's nightgown for comfort, and eventually falls asleep with the
nightgown under her head.
[okay, I've got to say something.  Here's Monica, blabbing to Alan about how
Emily is closed down.  But did Monica ever TOUCH Emily or hug her?  Was there
any sharing of grief over Paige's passing?  Monica's coming across as a real
cold fish.  comments?]

At Simone's house -
============================================================================
Simone invites Tom over to see Tommy.  He comes over and tries to connect with
his son, but it is clear that he's totally clueless about how to talk to the
kid.  Eventually Tommy is lured out of the room with the promise of ice cream
and the adults get down to it.  There's a brief exchange of words and the
upshot is that Simone tells Tom she'll always love him, in a Platonic way, but
not in the "pot-pie" sense of the word if you get my drift.  Tom does get the
drift and is frustrated/angry that mere "friendship" is all Simone is offering.
She asks him the real reason he left Africa and he replies with some lame-oid
story about how this little kid he had just treated was killed etc.  [Hey, I
think the reason Tom left Africa is going to show up in Port Charles soon,
and she'll be pregnant!]  Eventually Tom leaves but not before assuring Simone
that he is going to fight to re-establish their marriage and family.  She
looks a little bit worried and he looks smirky.
