General Hospital Update
Wednesday, January 24, 1996

Jason's Hospital Room
In Jason's hospital room, Keesha paces, still upset over the fact that
Jason doesn't know who she is, while Jason sleeps.  Lois enters the
waiting area outside the room.  She asks Bobbie about Jason's condition,
and Bobbie tells her that he is making terrific progress and is being
moved to a regular room.  Keesha comes out to see Lois, and Lois tells
her how proud Mary Mae would have been of her at the memorial were.
Keesha says that she misses Granny Mae very much, but feels her presence.
 Keesha tell Lois that her family is very grateful to her for her words
at the memorial service and for getting Mary Mae into the recording
studio.  Now they have her voice forever.

Tom's Apartment
There's a knock at the door which wakens Tom who was asleep on the couch.
(He had fallen asleep while reading the mystery that Felicia gave him and
challenged him to figure out the ending.)  Simone and Tommy come in.  Tom
tells Tommy that Justice is coming over, and they are going to discuss
Tommy's attitude toward Justice and Simone and Justice's wedding.
There's another knock at the door; it's Justice.

The Spencer House
Lucky takes a wad of money out of his emergency backpack.  Luke comes out
of the kitchen offering Lucky a cup of coffee.  "It's okay," Luke says,
"your mother left about 10 minutes ago."  Lucky tells Luke
that he's going to be late tonight.  He has a Spanish club meeting after
school.  He goes on to say that Spanish club was Sly's idea because he's
got a crush on Lily.  As Lucky goes to leave, Mac arrives at the
door.  Lucky asks Mac for a partial refund of the $25 retainer Lucky gave
Mac when he consulted him about finding a missing person (when he and
Emily were looking for Aunt Corey).  Mac gives him $20 back and
Lucky takes off for school.  Mac tells Luke he's got a favor to ask him.

Mac wants information Frank Smith's organization.  Mac believes Damian is
alive and hiding, but not too far away.  Mac believes that Damian has
hooked up with one of his Dad's connections.  He's sure that Damian
is in the states and not too far away.  He would want to keep up with
what's going on with Katherine.  Luke comes up with one person in the
organization who is in the states.  He's a really mean guy who is in
Dallas.  When Luke and Laura were living on a ranch down there, this guy
poisoned all of their cattle.

Tom's Apartment
Tom tells Tommy that the way he treated Justice the other day was wrong.
 Tom tells him to apologize to Justice which he does half heartedly.  Tom
explains that Justice and Simone are going to be married, and that
nothing Tommy can do will bring him and Simone back together.  Tom tells
Tommy that he doesn't have to worry about him - he's okay.  They lay down
some ground rules.  Tommy doesn't have to like the fact that
Justice and Simone are getting married; if he's angry he can say that but
he can't talk back and he can't hit.  He'll also have to obey Justice.
Justice tells Tommy that he misses being his friend and he wants to
start over.  Tommy shakes Justice's hand and has a grim that tells you
he's up to something.

Jason's Hospital Room
Keesha tells Lois that she's having a hard time with the way that Jason
is acting.  Keesha asks Lois to go see Jason in the hope that he will
recognize and remember her.  However, Keesha tells Bobbie that she will
be crushed if he remembers Lois and not her.  Lois goes in to see Jason.
 He wakes up, but doesn't know who she is.  She tells him she's Ned's
wife.  Jason says Ned is the one who comes alone, at night. Jason replies
that he likes Ned because he doesn't ask him any questions.  She starts
telling him about her trip thinking that maybe something will be familiar
to him.  Jason acts like Lois' story is boring him, but he says it's not
as bad as the rest of the family.  They ask questions and get upset that
he doesn't remember.  He wishes that the rest of the family would stop
visiting.  He also tells her that he wishes Keesha would stop visiting
because all she does is look at him.  Every time he wakes up, she is
staring at him.  Lois tells him that she loves him.  He says he doesn't
love her; he doesn't feel anything.  Jason goes back to sleep, and Lois,
visibly upset, leaves.

The Spencer House
Luke tells Mac that he shouldn't go after the guy in Texas.  Mac tells
Luke about Lucy seeing Katherine and blowing holes in the time line
theory.  Luke tells Mac that if Damian is with the psycho in Texas, he'll
be very hard to get to.  Mac thanks him for the information and leaves.

Tom's Apartment
Justice leaves and Simone has to leave for the hospital.  She asks Tom to
drop off Tommy at school.  Tom goes to get changed, and Tommy tells him
he forgot a book at Simone's.  Tom asks Tommy if he has a key, which he
does, and tells him to get the book and that he'll be ready to leave when
Tommy gets back.  Tom leaves the room and Tommy grabs his backpack and
heads for the door.

Lucky's School
Ralph comes up to Lucky in the hallway asking if he's still in for the
game this afternoon.  Lucky says yes and asks about the other players.
Ralph replies only that they're big players.  He assures that the game is
legit.

Ruby's
Lois comes in to see Brenda.  Lily comes down and asks to talk to her.
They sit down at a table, and Lois congratulates Lily on her engagement.
 Lily tells her that she had to warn Sonny about what Brenda and Lois
were planning to do to him.  Lois tells her that he should hate Sonny for
selling her company out from under her, but she doesn't.  She was
actually relieved that Sonny didn't get prosecuted.  Lily tells Lois that
Sonny really valued his friendship with Lois, and if there's anything she
can do to help get that back, she'll do.  As Lily goes to leave, Lois
tells her that Brenda really didn't mean to burn her wedding dress.  Lily
tells her she is a good friend.  Brenda comes down the stairs and asks
Lois what Lily wanted.  Lois tells her they have plans to make for
the Eddie Maine concert.

The Quartermaine Den
Ned is finishing a conversation on the phone when Edward comes in.
Edward asks Ned if the call was about the Japanese pharmaceutical deal.
Ned tells him the call was the hospital - they have moved Jason to a
private room.  Edward then asks if he's heard anything about the Japanese
deal.  Ned says that he has, despite worrying about Jason, Lois' plane
crash, and Mary Mae's funeral.  Ned is in control of the situation and
they will be able to buy up the parent company.  They continue arguing
over business versus the other things in life.  Edward says that at least
Eddie Maine is no longer a part of Ned's life to which Ned replies that
Eddie Maine will always be a part of his life.  With that, Ned leaves.

Felicia's Apartment
Tom frantically bangs on Felicia's door.  He tells her that Tommy has
taken off.  He's looked all over the Brownstone, but can't find him.
Felicia suggests that they check the place one more time then figure out
what to do next.  Tom calls Simone and tells her what's going on.
Felicia calls Garcia.  Tony goes out to search the streets and park.
Felicia assures Tom that he'll be home before dark.  Tom talks to the
police to give them a description of Tommy.

Ruby's
Lois and Brenda discuss the details of the upcoming Eddie Maine concert.
 They discuss the possibility of booking a concert at PCU.  Lois thinks
Valentine's Day would be good.  Brenda realizes that Sonny and Lois will
be married by Valentine's Day.  She thinks of all of the people no longer
in her life and wonders what's left.  Lois assures that she and Ned will
help her through.

Felicia's Apartment
Garcia had arrived and gathered the necessary information.  Garcia leaves
and Simone falls apart collapsing into Tom's arms.

Pool Hall
Lucky shows up for the big poker game.  He buys into the game and they
start to play.

The Quartermaine Den
Edward sits down to read the paper with his tea and cookies.  He bellows
for Reggie because his cookies have pink sprinkles instead of green ones.
"Is it too much for a man to have the cookies of his choice in his own
house", he asks.  As Reggie leaves with the cookies, Edward calls for him
again.  Reggie does an about face, and Edward asks if he knew about the
Eddie Maine concert at the Outback, which is advertised on the front page
of the Entertainment section of the paper.  Reggie was unaware of the
concert and asks if he should book a table.  Edward wants a table right
down front, and the whole family is required to be there.  As Reggie
leaves, Lois comes in and grabs a cookie, admiring the pink sprinkles.
She asks if he's seen Ned.  He shows her the paper, and Edward tells her
that she shouldn't go through with the concert, and he means business.
Lois responds that she intends to have her way.  "Oh no you won't",
Edward says as she leaves the room.

The End
