       The General Hospital Update for Friday, January 12, 1996
 ==============================================================================
Update for the week of Jan 8 - Jan 12 from the local newspaper:
Damian drugged and kidnapped Katherine then planted evidence to make it look
like she killed him.  Then he disappeared after abandoning an unconscious
Katherine in her car.  After checking blood samples found on Katherine's shoe
and in the lakehouse, Garcia arrested her on charges that she murdered Damian.
Rivera assured Sonny he had nothing to do with Damian's disappearance.  Mac and
Katherine are convinced that "D" framed her.  Everyone was hopeful when Jason
opened his eyes, but he is still comatose.  Ned nixed letting A.J. admit his
responsibility for Jason's condition.  Lucy and Kevin left for a Paris vaca-
tion.  Luke didn't believe Mike who said Lucky is hooked on gambling.  Later,
Lucky was hassled by some punks he lost money to in a poker game.  Ned was in
shock after learning that Lois' plane disappeared somewhere in the South
American jungle.  Tommy is upset about his mother marrying Justus.

And now the Friday 1/12/96 update...

He ain't heavy... he's my comatose, brain-injured-and-it's-my-fault, pretty-boy
Mr Perfect half-brother whom I suspect Mom likes better than me
========================================= ===============================
A.J. spends the night with Jason.  The kid responded to him by moving his hand
and opening his eyes a bit.  A.J. is beat by morning and when Keesha arrives
she shooes him out of the room.  He tells her he's heading off to find an A.A.
meeting.  He runs into Brenda and they sadly hug.  Brenda wants to get into
how guilty Ned must feel about the accident but A.J. hurries off; he doesn't
want to get into THAT particular conversation.  A.J. goes home and Ned warns
him that he'll skin him alive if he blurts out that he's the one responsible
for Jason's condition.  The Quartermaines do breakfast.  Ned, A.J., Lila and
Edward.  Bulwark calls with an update on Jason; she says there's some
progress.  Lila latches onto this piece of information and interprets it that
Jason is practically ready to boogie on out of the hospital.  Then Lila, the
ultimate party animal, decides to throw a big party to celebrate Jason's
"recovery", Emily's birthday, Lois' return and Justus and Simone's wedding.
She starts phoning around.

In the back room at Luke's Club...
========================================= ===============================
In the back room of the club, Luke is on the phone trying to do business.
Lucky jigs in and nervously dances around until Luke is off the phone.  The
kid then asks his dad for an advance on his allowance.  It seems Lucky lost 2
weeks allowance playing poker!  Luke yells at the kid for being such a
bonehead [didn't yell at him for gambling, but for losing!].  He borrows the
money from his dad then Lucky goes to the auto shop (scene of the poker games)
and pays his $200 debt.  He also gives the guys $50 more to buy into the
current game!  Lucky continues to play and lose until he is $480 in the hole.
The young toughs give him 3 days to pay up or they'll rearrange his face.
Justus drops in at the club and tells Luke that Lila will be inviting him and
Lucky to a party [guess they don't bother with Laura any more].  Then Justus
confides that he's been "invited" to leave his seat on the city council.  The
other council members are nervous about Justus' recent high-profile clients.
Justus exits, Lucky returns and tells Luke that he's in "really big trouble".

I've got the midwinter Katy "blahs"...
========================================= ===============================
At Mac's house, he and KatyBell discuss her situation [boring, so boring].
Meanwhile, Garcia shows up at GH with a warrant to pick up a "vial" of blood
recently deposited by Satan-Boy [didn't Damian spread around more blood than
is contained in the small vial the blood banks keep for testing?].  Later on,
Garcia and crew arrive at Mac's house where he arrests Katherine for Damian's
murder.

Cliffhanger...
=============================================================================
End of the show, Ned gets a phone call and learns that the plane Lois was on
has disappeared somewhere in the Brazilian jungle.
