From: njs@lhdsy2.lahabra.chevron.com (N.J.Spera) Subject: GH: Update, Wednesday, November 22, 1995 Date: 27 Nov 1995 17:21:09 GMT GENERAL HOSPITAL Wednesday, November 22, 1995 Today's Stories A Nickel and Dime Operation? Chefs and A Pig There Is Hope A Nickel and Dime Operation? ---------------------------- Ned comes downstairs in his running clothes to find Lois filling cookie tins for Stone's party. Not long after he's out the door Edward busts in bellowing that Ned has blown the Tokyo deal by playing "rock star." He blames Lois for influencing Ned to stay in PC despite Lois' protests that Ned makes his own decisions. Ned comes after Edward has called L&B a nickel and dime operation and just as Lois tells Edward to "blow it out his ear." Ned wants to know what's going on and once it's been explained to Ned that the Japanese are pulling out of the pharmaceutical deal Ned tries to persuade Edward that he'll (Ned) will handle it. Ned orders Edward out for yelling at Lois. Edward leaves closing the door and Lois slams it shut. Ned admits there may be more to the Japanese problem than he let on (such as internal Japanese problems). Ned figures Edward is jealous and threatened and thus the nickel and dime operation comment. Lois questions if Ned thinks L&B is good or if he's saying it's that way because of her. Ned has trouble separating her from L&B since it means everything to her and she means everything to him. Later as they are about ready to leave for Stone's party they exchange early Christmas gifts, Stone shouldn't be the only one to celebrate the meaning of Christmas. Lois gives Ned a Japanese instrument (a sansom?) in case Edward kidnaps Ned to Tokyo. That way Ned will still be her Eddie. Ned gives Lois an antique mechanical bank. Lois can save all her nickels and dimes to buy out his grandfather. Chefs and A Pig --------------- Sonny is singing as he starts to prepare the pig for roasting but is interrupted by the doorbell. It's Mike to help. Sonny doesn't feel he needs any help and it doesn't help that Mike has an apron proclaiming he's the chef or that Mike had been roasting pigs with Sonny's mother long before Sonny was born. There is a truce and Sonny allows him to stay when Mike begs that he needs to do something for Stone. Sonny lets Mike dice the onions and apples for sage apple dressing, something Mike thinks doesn't go with pig but goes along and mutters under his breath. The day continues with sarcastic remarks and looks back and forth between father and son. Mike claims to be done with the spinach but Sonny wants the spines removed. They almost come to blows when Mike starts to use scissors instead of his hands to remove the spines. He's standing with the scissors over Sonny when Robin comes in to see how things are going. They both shout "Fine." Finally it's time to put the pig on the platter. After mistarts, each bailing out when the other is counting 1-2-3, they finally get in on the platter as Lily comes and and congratulates them for what can be done with teamwork. :-) There Is Hope ------------- Robin, having awakened, leaves Stone's bed to go look out the window. Anna wraps her arms around Robin and wishes her "Merry Christmas" and love, peace and joy, though it's only the day before Thanksgiving. Anna and Robin talk of the Christmas party Robin is throwing as Robin realizes that Stone won't make it to Christmas. Anna reminds Robin that Stone will always be with Robin. Robin comments, just like her mom and dad. They then recall the first Christmas Robin spent with Anna, knowing Anna was her mom and that the love Robin got was the best present. Anna urges Robin to have no regrets and to accept the gifts Stone has given Robin, love and hope. Anna tries to convince Robin that there is hope for life and good work to do and time and friends and knowledge that the love one gives comes back 1000 fold. Robin has something to celebrate. Later in the day Robin helps Stone back to bed to rest after a busy afternoon. There were lots of visitors we didn't get to see. Jason and AJ as elves, with Tony as Santa. Downstairs Robin is checking out the tree when Robert asks "What are you looking for little girl?" He tries guessing her wishes but strikes out. What Robin wishes for is complicated. He recalls that when she was little Christmas was simple. Robin's wishes are that her mom and dad could be with her, she could have Christmas with Stone, have 100 more Christmases with Stone, and quiet in her head. Robert wish is that he could grant her wishes. He's amazed at her strength and courage and allows that there is plenty of time for sadness. His wish is to put her heart as ease and that's why he's given her his brother and his best friend. The doorbell rings. Robert is gone. Luke is at the door. He's early. Lucky will be along later but Laura (who was among the afternoon visitors) is caught up in her term paper. Luke came early to talk. Meanwhile Mac has arrived at Katherine's to pick her up. She's dressed festively and despite going to a party where she is despised by most everyone agrees to behave. She also invites Mac and Robin for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Mac accepts but figures Robin will want to spend the time with Stone. Before leaving Katherine wonders if Lois will be there. Luke and Robin discuss her test results. He remarks she is a Scorpio and her family manages to take bad situations and turn them around. Robin talks of thinking about her parents and Luke reminds her of his promise to be there for her. He's not going anywhere. Robin heads off to help Stone get ready and as soon as she's gone Robert appears to Luke. Luke will do anything for Robin and wonders if he should break a cardinal rule and try to see a lesson in all this. Luke always thought he could protect his loved ones but Robert tells Luke that all Robin needs is a friend, as he puts his arm on Luke's shoulder. Filly, Maxie, Katherine and Mac arrives. Lily is already there. It's Maxie with a child's innocence who asks if Stone is still sick and later asks if Stone can get better like she did. Robin just hugs Maxie. Lucky arrives with Rudolph (Foster). Next it's Lois and Ned. Katherine oozes with compliments for Lois and L&B. Lois figures Katherine is planning something and confronts her. It's not quite a cat fight as Katherine points out that she's a poor sport, doesn't like to lose, and that Lois doesn't appreciate Ned's bad side like Katherine can. This after Lois can't believe Katherine is being civil for no good reason. Katherine tells Mac they just had a frank exchange and Ned has to convince Lois to let Mac handle Katherine. Sonny comes out with roasted pig to oohs and ahs. Before they dig in Mac proposes a toast to Robin and Stone and as he finished Robert is seen watching over the group from the stairs.
