From: njs@lhdsy2.lahabra.chevron.com (N.J.Spera) Subject: GH: Update, Wednesday, January 10, 1996 Date: 11 Jan 1996 16:34:45 GMT Well folks, for those who haven't see my previous post, this will be my last GH update (at least for quite a while). Real life seems to think it takes precedence...so it's with some sadness (but an awareness of the additional time I'll have for life) that I present this last Tangy Nancy GH update. GENERAL HOSPITAL Wednesday, January 10, 1996 Today's Stories He's Hooked A Package from Rivera A Whole New Design Don't Leave Town Goin' to Paris He's Hooked ----------- Luke's not to happy to find Lucky with his feet up on Luke's desk. But all Lucky is doing is leaving a present for Luke. Seems Lucky was "lucky" at the poker table and has purchased an expensive cigar case for Luke and has also bought one (1) very expensive cigar for Luke. Lucky goes on and on about the rush he got playing and winning. Mike has arrived in the meantime to hear Lucky's ethusiasm. Luke warns Lucky to keep his enphoria from Laura. When Lucky's gone, the deadbeat dad Mike tries to point out to Luke that Lucky is addicted to gambling. Hmmmm....just like his father and that is just fine with Luke, life is a gamble. A Package from Rivera --------------------- A huge box arrives for Lily. It's from Lily's "old world father." The packing material is like that which her grandmother used when packing beaded purses and lace table linens. Hmmm, it's Lily's mother's wedding dress and her mother's mantilla. And a note from her father telling her how joyful her mother was wearing the dress. Lily recalls seeing pictures of her mother and she could see her mother was full of love for Lily's father, a love she gave him. But Lily also knows her mother gave her father all her power when she married him. And because of that power Lily was forced to give up her baby and her dream with Miguel. An incident that caused Lily to hate her mother and what she had done. But now Lily realizes that without all that happened then she never would have found the man she loves and is about to marry. Lily goes off to try on the dress and warns Sonny NOT to come see her in it...thats *very* bad luck. Lily fantasizes it's her wedding day and she and Sonny have been married. He comes to her and tells her want she thought would take a long time has happened...as the priest blessed them he realized he has fallen in love with her. Back in real life Sonny looks on a dreamy Lily looking in the mirror as she wears her mother's mantilla and holds up the wedding gown. A Whole New Design ------------------ Ruby bursts into Brenda's room to find clothes strewn everywhere. Brenda is bound and determined to get things out of her life, especially a few things she wore in PR. Ruby thinks Brenda is trying to get Sonny out of her life. Ruby suggests Brenda just take it one step at a time. Robin arrives and Ruby leaves. Robin knows the sorting out of clothes is about Sonny. Robin's been cleaning the attic and she knows that's about Stone. They talk of Stone's desire to have Brenda and Sonny together as Brenda wonders what Stone would say about Sonny marrying Lily. Robin and Brenda try out a "Sonny/Stone" discussion of the subject. Brenda realizes Sonny was "just taking care of business." She recalls the cold look on Sonny's face when he and Lily passed her at LUKE'S, the look Sonny's uses to hide his pain behind. A look that was not there when Sonny told Brenda he loves her. The big unanswerable question is: would Stone know if Sonny will call off the wedding? Brenda rambles about Sonny breaking the engagement but stops herself as she knows the only way Sonny can save himself is to marry Lily. Robin agrees. Brenda knows she wants to be with Sonny but more than that she wants Sonny to be safe as she knows he would die in prison. She promised she'd be by his side through anything, hey, even marriage to another woman though Brenda doesn't know what that means. When Ruby returns to Brenda's room, it's all cleaned up, with summer clothes under the bed, a bag of discards by the door and the rest in the closet. Ruby'd like whomever did it to do Ruby's closets. When Brenda jokes Ruby knows something is up, Brenda hasn't joked since being depressed about Sonny. Brenda has figured out Sonny isn't trying to hurt her, only letting her go the best way he knows how. He's doing what he has to do to stay alive and Brenda now understands that. Ruby doesn't quite see Brenda's reality but Brenda is opting to take any piece of Sonny's life she can, even if he has to marry Lily to stay alive, since Brenda wants him safe. Don't Leave Town ---------------- Mac tries to calm a panicked Katherine as they wait for Garcia to question her. Mac figures Damian is dead and it was an underworld hit. Justus arrives (what first Lois, then Sonny, now Katherine, hmmmm....the only attorney in town?). Justus wants a straight answer...how much trouble is Katherine in? Katherine tells her story of Damian's threats, the trip to the Carribean, etc to Justus and as she is finishing her tale with the part about waking up outside her place Garcia comes in and points out the handkerchief had Damian's initials on it. Garcia wants to tape the interview, that's fine with Katy despite Justus suggesting Garcia could be made to take notes. Once again she tells her story and while she does Mac looks down at Katy's shoes. Hmmmm. Once she's finished, or rather when Justus cuts off Garcia asking about when Katy and Damian dissolved their relationship they go to leave but Katy notices her new shoe is dirty. Garcia wants to see it. Justus suggests not but Katy thinks she has nothing to hide so she gives the shoe to Garcia. Mac then carries Katy from the PCPD after Garcia tells her not to leave town. Justus offers to represent her. Mac is curious why. Justus looks worried but is interested. Mac arrives at LUKE'S with Katy. She needs a safe place and figures Luke can provide it. After first turning Mac down Luke agrees, especially when he hears Damian might be dead. Luke, in a way only Luke can do, "accepts" Katy's story...as that a story. All he cares is Junior Smith is probably dead and congratulates her. Mac heads off to check out the scene leaving the one-shoed Katherine behind. Babe gives her "in case" shoes to Katy. At least they are amusing to Katy. Katherine decides to set the record straight with Luke about Mac and the information that was used against Sonny. Luke actually believes her when she tells him that Mac had no idea Sonny would get hurt, that they were only going after Damian. And even more amazing he believes that if she had know Luke was the conduit she would have warned Luke that Sonny could be implicated because Luke is Mac's friend. Katy keeps trying to remember what happened. Luke suggests she relax, then she might. She realizes the spots on her shoe looked like blood. Luke does point out that even if she does remember...she doesn't think there was a witness, something the police will need. Meanwhile Mac visits Sonny to see if Sonny knows anything or can find out anything about Damian's disappearance or possible death. As far as Sonny knows Damian is alive and kicking but given the news that Katherine is "under suspicion" he will see what he can find out. Once Mac is gone Sonny puts in a call to Rivera. Rivera's not there but is asked to call Sonny. Goin' to Paris -------------- Lucy and Kevin are at the gate as Lucy is leaving instructions on Felicia's answering machine on Sigmund's care since Lucy and Kevin have "no idea" where Mac is. As they head off to board the plane to Paris Lucy tells Kevin she "is forgetting what parking lot she saw Katherine in."
