     The General Hospital Update for Friday, January 26, 1996
          Written By:   kathy%gundog@lbl.gov (Kathy Ellington)
 ==============================================================================
Update for the week of Jan 22 - Jan 26 from the local newspaper:
Keesha's father, David, agreed to let her stay in Port Chuck after Justus said
he would look after her and she would live at the Ward house.  Keesha was
devastated when Jason, who has amnesia, did not recognize her. Lois was unable
to jog his memory and Monica was crushed when Jason said he wanted everyone to
leave him alone.  A.J. was worried about the consequences if Jason remembers
A.J. was driving the car when it crashed.  Lucky "borrowed" $500 from the
emergency fund to play poker with some pros but returned it after winning big.
Emily was impressed with Lucky's win.  Katherine is worried that Lucy's
testimony, that she saw Katherine the night Damian supposedly was murdered, may
have made things worse for her.  Luke gave Mac some names of mob guys in Texas
when mac suspected Damian may be hiding out with help from Frank Smith's old
contacts.  Lois defied Edward and booked Ned at the Outback.

And now the Friday 1/26/96 update...

Big Tom Steps up to the Plate; Little Tom Send to the Showers
==============================================================
Simone and Justus are in her apartment, discussing how their lives have been
suddenly turned topsy-turvey. Simone starts wheezing and whining about Tommy
when they hear a loud "thump" from the next room.  They run into the living
room and discover Tommy standing there.  He had dropped a jar of peanut
butter.  Simone hugs the kid with tears of relief; Justus gives him a glare.
Anger starts to kick in soon thereafter and Justus calls Tom, who arrives at a
gallop.  The kid had been hiding in the attic.  He claimed he needed a "time
out" in order to "think"....sheesh!  The three adults try to "reason" with
Tommy [how about a boot to the little jerk's backside?]; they reprimand the
kid and eventually send him to school.  That evening, Tom explores the attic
where Tommy had been hiding.  Felicia joins him and they sit in the little
"nest" Tommy had made.  Tom starts to talk about Africa [at which point this
updater fast-forwarded through most of the scene].  They move closer together
[Tom swings the bat and loosens his shoulders...he steps up to the plate]. Tom
makes his move and his lips are just about to make contact with Filly's
[there's the pitch!] but they are interrupted by Tommy's squealing [uh oh!
Batter hit in the head by wildly pitched ball; he stumbles to the dugout
finished for the day].  Seems Tommy had come to retrieve his teddy bear that
he'd left in his hideout.  The moment has passed, the spell is broken, and
Tom and Filly leave for the Outback.

I Dream of Damian In the Light Brown Handcuffs!
==================================================
Lucy and KevinBunny [please lose the beard, Kevin, you look like a donkey]
are in her bed, asleep.  She awakens with a jerk [Sorry Kevin] and says she's
had bad dreams about Satan-Boy Smith.  Lucy insists that Damian is alive and
that she "saw" him swimming in a lake.  She says it wasn't a dream but it was
a psychic vision then she starts babbling about Madame Maia.  She tells Kevin
that she's got to find Damian so she can clear Katherine and return to hating
KatyBell's guts instead of feeling sorry for her.  Lucy is headed to Chicago
to visit Madame Maia but doesn't tell Kevin because he would only give her
grief over visiting MM.  Later on, Lucy shows up at Maia's door and demands
that the psychic help her.  "You OWE me!" she says.

Edward, the Grand Old Lizard-King of Port Chuck
===================================================
Lois and Ned are asleep at the gatehouse when SHE awakens with a jerk [sorry
Ned] and says she's been having weird dreams about Edward and that night's gig
at the Outback.  Ned tells her everything's in control and she's just having
another anxiety attack.  Lois agrees that she is, indeed, worried.  Later that
day, the Idle Rich set up at the outback.  The joint is jumping and prominent
among the patrons are the whole Quartermaine crew; Edward with a lizard-like
smile on his face.  Before the gig starts, Ned is served with a restraining
order that forbids him to perform as Eddie Maine.  He tears it up and jumps
onstage; the performance starts.  They finish one song and the audience
explodes with applause.  Before they can launch into another song, however,
policemen charge into the club and arrest Ned!  The Q family glares at Edward
who coolly sits, smiling and sipping his drink.

Jason Has a Sudden Revelation!  Maybe he used to be a vacuum cleaner salesman?
===============================================================================
At GH, Monica checks in on Jason who barely gives her the time of day.  She
surprises him when she informs him that Jason is a pre-med student at Port
Chuck University.  He says he's frustrated because he doesn't know any of the
people who pop in to visit.  She leaves and Keesha wanders in.  She's
upset that Jason still doesn't know her.

                 [okay John, take it from here :) ]

A snippet of dialog they cut from the above scene last week.

Keesha (arriving): My, my Jason, is that a catheter in your robe or are you
   just happy to see me?
Jason: Who are you?
K: Oh, Jason, don't you know me?
J: No.
K: What about now?
J: Hmm, I think I'm starting to remember.
K: How about now?
J: Ah, ah, yes, much, much clearer.
K: Ah wah ahbah nah?
J: KEESHA!
