      The General Hospital Update for Friday, April 19, 1996

 ==============================================================================

Robin quizzed Jason about what happened when he returned the money to
Sonny.  He told her he got a $50 reward; she suggested they spend some
of it on a present for one of the Ward House kids who was sick in the
hospital.  He agreed.  Then she told him how worried she was that Luke
would be arrested for Damian's murder.  Jason accompanied Robin to GH
then left her there.  They agree to meet for Chinese food later that
evening.  Robin ran into Filly and Tom, who started arguing about
investigative techniques.  Tom left and Robin asked Filly if she and
Tom were getting serious.  Filly admitted she liked being with Tom.
Later that evening, Robin sat alone on the bridge clutching the stuffed
toy she and Jason bought for the sick kid.  Jason arrived and saw that
she was crying.  "What's wrong?" he asked her...

Outside Kelly's, Doc KevinBunny and Lucy were having lunch.  He was
absorbed in his "twin study" stuff and she did her best to distract him.
She told him her big news, that she swapped her ELQ stock for Jax
Cosmetics.  He congratulated her then went back to his work.  She was
irritated that he didn't give her more of a response and teased him
and tried to interrupt him.  Finally, he gave up on trying to get any
work done; they kissed.

At GH, Steve Hardy confronted Tom about his new "cause" (being a forensic
investigator).  Steve accused him of shirking his hospital duties to
pursue yet another hobby.  Tom took offense and the two wrangled about
father/son expectations.  Steve told him to grow up.  Filly, who had
observed the spat, came over and talked to Tom; he told her he was
afraid he would start ragging at Tommy the same way Steve ragged at him.

At the Spencer house, the newspeople started to gather outside the door.
Luke wondered why Garcia hadn't arrived yet.  Luke, Laura and Lucky were
even more surprised when Edward Quartermaine appeared on their doorstep.
Seems like old Eddie wanted to tell Luke that he would support him in
any and every way possible, if Luke was arrested.  Edward left and the
Spencers wondered if he offered to help because he had a guilty conscience.

At the Charles Street foundation, Justus, Keesha and A.J. talked about Luke.
Justus was VERY upset and went for a walk to clear his head.  A.J. started
to put a move on Keesha but she only wanted to talk.  She told him she was
seriously on the rebound and was afraid to get hot and heavy with him.  He
said he wouldn't pressure her into anything and that he was a master at
waiting around.  A.J. left and Justus returned.  He talked with Keesha.
Near tears, he told her that he is so afraid Luke will be arrested.  She
tried to divert him and talked about her feelings for A.J.  Later on,
Assistant D.A. Dara came in and announced that an arrest was imminent in
Damian's murder case.  Justus phoned Luke and tipped him off about the
"imminent arrest" then he told  Luke that "I know you're NOT guilty!".
Luke said that if he was arrested he didn't want Justus to act as his
attorney.  He said Justus couldn't afford the bad press it would entail.
Justus hung up and then dialed PCPD; he asked to be connected to
Detective Garcia.  As he was making the call, Edward entered the room and
came up behind him.  Before the call was connected to Garcia's office,
Edward cut the call off.  "You don't want to make that call" he told
Justus quietly.  Meanwhile, at the Spencer house, there was a knock at
the door.  Luke opened it and Garcia told him that he had a warrant for
the arrest of ... Laura Spencer!
