Subject: gh update 8/9/95 Date: Thu, 10 Aug 95 09:37:23 -0700 From: Nancy Spera njs@chevron.com GENERAL HOSPITAL Wednesday, August 9, 1995 Today's Stories: Games, Games and More Games: Law & Order & A Royal Mess The Camping Game The Sexuality Game Law & Order & A Royal Mess -------------------------- Mac and Ned meet with Garcia at the Outback. After the fiasco with Brenda and the wire Mac is willing to put his PI license on the line and play the Harry-Sonny tape for Garcia. Garcia won't bust them and just wishes they could use the tape in court. Ned advances the idea that if the right judge listens to the tape they might be able to get an investigation started. Of course Ned has a judge in mind, so off he goes to the Qaurtermaine mansion to see Edward. Ned inquires about Edward's golf game but it's only to bring up the judge who had been in Edward's foursome. Edward's amenable to calling in a favor from the judge, one who ran on a strong law & order stance. Once Edward has contacted him, Ned informs Alex. Garcia "appreciates" what the Quartermaine name can do and is off to get a search warrant. Meanwhile Lois has returned to the gatehouse where Brenda has been stuffing envelopes with Migless' picture. Lois wants to know what Brenda is doing, ie, sleeping with the talent. Brenda tries to turn that around but Lois points out all the trouble she and Ned had over that....Brenda was there. Brenda gets very defensive and claims Migless is just a friend and they are just comforting each other. It's just fun and that's all but Lois doesn't quite buy it. She warns Brenda that being on the rebound, Brenda could hurt herself more that Sonny ever could. Trying to talk some sense into Brenda is a lost cause, and when Lois hears Brenda and Migless' had been attracted to each other all along, Lois almost loses it, until Brenda says they hadn't acted on their feelings. It was the hurt she felt when Lily and Sonny went to Puerto Rico and Migless' emotional availability that propelled them along. Lois is worried Migless and Brenda are using each other and that the sparks will set off an explosion...but of course Braindead doesn't see it that way. When Ned returns with the news that an investigation of Sonny is about to commence Brenda isn't a happy camper. She likens the investigation to pushing a wild animal into a corner. "It's not safe." But Ned counters that left alone it's not safe and he's not willing to let his bathroom be the next to be shot up. Brenda storms out taking Ned's umbrella. Lois' comment..."A royal mess." Later Ned gets a call from Mac. Garcia has gotten a search warrant. Ned smiles..."Let the games begin." The Camping Game ---------------- Simone, Justus and Tommy are preparing to head off on their camping trip. Justus has brought the "ancient" Ward family tent, Army surplus (I remember one of those). They head off to the woods as Bobbie heads off to dinner. The campers are setting up camp. Simone is trying to blow up an air mattress, lamenting that Justus hasn't brought a pump (a pump's no fun!). There is much teasing about being "city folk." When Tommy announces he's hungry Simone discovers the food consists of powdered eggs, powdered bacon, powdered milk and freeze dried coffee, and granola bars. She wants her room service and her chocolates on the pillow. Justus sees it as Tommy bonding with his mother in the wilderness. Settling in for bed all the night sounds, whipper-wills, crickets, bullfrogs, etc. are not exactly to Simone's liking. Then it's musical sleeping spots as Tommy's sleeping bag is itchy, then he's on a rock. Eventually he has maneuvered himself between Simone and Justus. When Tommy has to go to the bathroom, Justus take him, without a flashlight much to Simone's dismay. Then Tommy gets bit, the wind picks up. A storm is brewing. When the tent is blown down and it starts to rain Justus gives in and they pack up to go home. (First law of camping, if it rains, there is a newbie camper in your midst!) Upon hearing the wet campers return Tom comes downstairs to greet them and learns from Tommy that Simone has said no next time. Tom volunteers with his experience in Africa he can "do it right" with Tommy to Tommy's delight. After Simone and Tommy head upstairs after having said goodnight to Justus, Tom with a grin on his face says "Good night Justus." The Sexuality Game ------------------ Alan stops in the den on his way out to dinner. Monica wonders why he's all dolled up. She's going to be working on a Wellness group report and can't go out to dinner. Alan knows that...he's just "going out." Later after Ned has talked to Garcia Monica sees his wicked smile and since it's Sonny who will be on the receiving end of Ned's games, that's fine with her. When Ned learns she's wrestling with the idea of reconstructive surgery her tells her not to have it "on his account." He tries to convince her that she's as sensual as ever and points out that Lois would probably thank Monica for showing him how to appreciate women, not just girls. He puts Lois in Monica's league, saying that would be paying Lois a very high compliment. Monica accuses Ned of pitching a line like Alan, but Ned claims it's no line. Then Monica lets down the defenses, she's afraid the surgery won't reawaken her sexuality. Ned just squeezes her shoulder. Ned gets Moncia to laugh when he sticks around to keep her company..."What are old lovers for" and tries to convince her Alan will wait. Ned reminds Monica that their affair was more than sparkers...it was Roman candles...getting Monica smile and to admit their affair was pure pleasure. When Ned points out she'll have that again, Monica turns around and wonders how long Ned will be a good boy. He claims he's forsaken the smorgasboard for filet mingon every night. Ned suggests to go ahead with the surgery if that's what she needs to unearth her vibrancy again but lets her know that what turned him on was something much more profound and that that's still there and an intrinsic part of Monica. When her spirit is healed so that she is fully back Alan will need his vitamins. At the Outback Mac picks up on Bobbie's sparkle when she arrives but mistakenly thinks it's related to Tony's sparkle. However when Alan arrives and Mac learns Alan and Bobbie are having dinner...when Mac quickly shows them to a table. Both are feeling guilty and while Bobbie had been looking forward to their dinner all day amazingly she's the one who talks of acting responsibly even though that's not what she wants. Bobbie is worried about their special friendship should they rush the relationship. Alan agrees but is tired of feeling lonely. Bobbie is ready to leave and despite having her own car, Alan just has to follow her home as Lucas is spending the night at a friend's and Tony is spending the night at GH. Once at the brownstone Alan is about to make a move when the phone rings. Bobbie lets the machine get it. It's Monica wanting to chat about being tied up in knots over the surgery. With that Bobbie tells Alan he should go. Before he can leave the campers return..so off he goes.
