From: njs@buck.lahabra.chevron.com (N.J.Spera) Subject: GH: Update, Wednesday, November 15, 1995 Date: 16 Nov 1995 17:25:23 GMT GENERAL HOSPITAL Wednesday, November 15, 1995 Today's Stories Regrouping in Port Charles Those Numbered Accounts Quartermainia Facing the Truth Regrouping in Port Charles -------------------------- Lucky and Emily have returned to Port Charles and the Spencer house. Lucky has figured out his parents took off in a hurry and that no one is home. He also figures he and Emily are safe for some time while his parents are off to Pasadena. Emily doesn't know what to do now that they've hit a dead end. Lucky speculates that maybe it was supposed to happen that way and not finding her aunt is a message. Emily tries to take a nap but has no luck sleeping. Over tunafish sandwiches they discuss her options. She really doesn't want to go back to the Quartermaines but can't see herself telling them she can't find her aunt, no one else wants her and that she has no place else to go. However, Emily also recalls the time when she was in the cave with the snake. First she was wanting her mother, then wishing Alan had been there to protect her. And faced with possible death she also thought of Monica and wanted to make up with Monica before she (Emily) died and wanted to tell Monica that it wasn't Monica's fault. Just that Monica had been trying too hard. Emily figures that if she goes back to the Qs Monica will once again try too hard while also being angry. Lucky advises Emily that she doesn't have to make her decision immediately. He figures they have lots of time before his parents return from Albuquerque and Pasadena. Hmmm...Lucky, I think they'll be home before you know it. :-) Those Numbered Accounts ----------------------- Katherine visits Mac at the Outback after the lunch crowd is gone. She is tired having to look over her shoulder in case a hit man is after her and wants the shadow that is looming over their relationship to be removed. Katherine wants to get Damian off her back, out of everyone's life, even out of Lucy's and hands Mac a piece of paper. It has some of Damian's bank accounts that have connections of considerable interest but she balks at Mac giving the information directly to the cops. With Sean gone she figures Damian will finger her and Mac as the ones passing the information along. Mac decides they need to find a third party who wouldn't mind passing along such information to the cops. Mac is talking about coming up with a plan when their conversation is interrupted by a call from Robin. She wants to see Mac immediately at the penthouse. Sonny is back from Philly and is visited by Harry at LUKE'S. Harry has managed to get the money Sonny needs for Stone's medical bills transferred from the offshore accounts by using a loan to the Port Charles Enterprises Lounge account. The amount is $18740. Hmmm....might we hear that number again? Sonny is appreciative knowing that Harry hadn't had time for the careful "washing and ironing" of the $$. When the conversation turns to Philly and Sonny mentions one flaw Harry assume it was Brenda and is reamed by Sonny for that assumption. Sonny's only dealings with Brenda are because of L&B. A little later Brenda stops by ostensibly to find out from Mike if there is any news from Luke about Lucky and Emily. Mike has none but is encouraged that Luke and Laura went off together. He hopes that will get them back on track. Mike figures Brenda has more than Lucky and Emily on her mind. Yes, she needs a hug. Just as he hugs her in walks Sonny trying to figure out all the medical bills. Mike tries to get Brenda to spill but with Sonny there all he gets is she doesn't know and wishes she could it out and get it settled. With Sonny giving them looks from afar Brenda decides to leave. Mike gives Sonny what for for playing mind games with Brenda. Sonny claims there are no mind games going on, there's just a truce for Stone's sake. Quartermainia ------------- Monica sees Alan's shaken look and figures he has bad news about Emily. No, it's about a patient. He doesn't want to break confidentiality but Monica encourages him. She won't say anything and he needs to spill. Monica is shaken to hear Robin is HIV+. The sad mood is disturbed by a depressed AJ. Alan and Monica suggests he should have gone to Philly with Jason but AJ figures the blues and a dark room filled with people drinking wouldn't have been the best idea. Then in comes Jason fresh from Philly. He relates how Mary Mae wowed everyone but wishes AJ had been there, say for support when Jason met Keesha's family. Alan and Monica head off to check with the Spencers. Jason heads off to class. Edward returns in a sour mood after a 2 hour flight that should have only been 45 minutes. AJ wants to talk with Edward about his future but Edward wants no parts of a discussion with AJ. AJ won't let go so they go at it. Edward is unwilling to make an concessions for AJ's troubles with the foundation, even if AJ was manipulated and setup. AJ brings up the troubles of other Quartermaines, Ned's bigamy and Alan committing manslaughter. He even throws in Edward's "mistake" 50 years ago that resulted in the family Edward met at Mary Mae's concert. Alan comes in reminding them that this type of "discussion" is what has driven Emily away. Edward blusters and takes off. Alan reminds AJ that Alan has been the recipient of Edward's bluster as well so he know how it feels. Alan needs to go to the hospital and asks AJ to drive. They can talk on the way. Alan goes to tell Monica where they're going and when he's out of the room AJ downs a drink and it wasn't water folks. Later the phone rings. Monica is horrified to hear there's been an accident. Alan is in emergency and AJ has been arrested for drunk driving. Ok...Tissues at the ready.... Facing the Truth ---------------- Kevin tries to assure Robin that her reactions which she calls denial are normal. He also tries to assure her she's not on the same road as Stone. She doesn't have full-blown AIDS like Stone did when he found out he was HIV+. He courages her to come to terms with her diagnosis so she can do the right things for herself. Kevin also suggests she tell Mac, not because Mac needs to know but because she needs Mac. He also poses the big question before Robin, whether or not to tell Stone and suggests that she could use Mac's advice. Before he leaves Kevin reminds Robin of all who love her, but especially Mac and encourages her to let Mac be a part of this from the start. As Kevin leaves the phone rings. It's Sonny and while he's back from Philly he's got business at the club that will take a couple of hours. A little while later Robin says "Daddy I'm so scared" and Robert appears, replying "Why shouldn't you be." She's not scared of being HIV+ (well she is terrified) but is afraid of telling Mac and hurting him as Mac has felt like he's let Robert down. Robert then gets Robin to consider what it would be like if she withheld the information from Mac now, only for him to find out down the road. Robin realizes Mac will feel even more that he's let Robert down. They agree there is no easy way or right way to do it. Robert sits down beside her as he reminds her he and Anna taught Robin to value truth and honesty. When Robert calls her brave Robin doesn't feel brave so Robert talks about the different kinds of courage, especially the courage to do what is right and the courage to support others. Robert feels Mac hasn't failed him and will do right by Robin. He enourages Robin to trust Mac. Robert kisses Robin and walks off towards the terrace doors and is gone. Robin calls Mac at the Outback and he hightails it over to the penthouse. After telling Mac that he there because of her not Stone they sit down. Robin manages to tell Mac why she had Alan give her another HIV test and that she's HIV+. Mac is clearly stunned but it's only a moment before he gathers her in his arms. Robin's sorry but Mac won't blame anyone, not her and not Stone. He loves her. What's happened has happened. He points out that she and Mac are luckier than Stone who didn't have any of the advantages she has. Love and care. She has time, love, strength and courage. Robin has doubts but Mac doesn't because she has him and he promises he will never let her down. Robin now wants Mac's help. Should she tell Stone the truth? Robin is concerned about hurting Stone but also can't see herself lying to him and tiptoeing around the truth. When Robin talks of no lies between her and Stone so far, Mac points out that may be her answer. She should think about it but do what her heart tells her is right. Whatever her decision Mac will be there to help her. As Mac and Robin hold each other again Robert is seen watching them.
