                            GH Update for 01/10/97
                            By John R. Andrews, UIC

Scene 1
Katherine mopes in bed at GH hoping that Stephan will visit.
Scene 2
Sonny and Brenda come to see Mac, but he's out. She is talking to Jax on the
phone agreeing to see him later but doesn't mention it.  Mac arrives home, and
Sonny tells him about the two men who came into the apartment. Sonny wants Mac
to get the phone records theorizing it will help lead to the assailants.
Scene 3
Everyone jabbers at Bobbie's and Stephan's dinner party. Stephan tells Tom he
feels guilty about Katy's being shot on his island.
Scene 4
Lucy tries to explain to Kevin that he's changed in subtle ways [ya, like he's
dressing like an escapee from the 60's], and she feels isolated from him.
Scene 5
Brenda returns home to Jax and tells him she was with Sonny. He responds by
saying he was talking to Miranda and intends to see her later. They proceed to
congratulate themselves for being so honest and mature.
Scene 6
Mac says the phone records will be faxed in a few minutes.  Miranda tells Sonny
she's decided to stay in PC but getting a place of her own.
Scene 7
Over dinner, Felicia remarks that she's a part-time PI; Nikolas suggests they
hire her to find out who shot Katherine. Felicia responds that Katy is the one
to reveal the truth. When Tom mentions that he might have a new drug to help
her remember what happened, Alexis is visibly flustered and spills her drink.
Scene 8
Sonny and Miranda spar a bit over her staying and their respective emotions
toward Brenda and Jax. Mac comes in with the phone records.
Scene 9
Brenda and Jax banter about how life used to be more fun. He assures her that
it will be again. She points out that after he's divorced from Miranda he'll be
free again. He suggests they get re-married in some exotic place. Sonny calls
and tells her the phone records were erased [What a crock, unless he's just
lying to her].
Scene 10
Kevin tells Lucy even though he loves her dearly, he can't marry her until he's
worthy, and he has a lot more work left.  As she starts to leave, he gives her
an odd smile [which I presume was supposed to be suggestive but came off as
merely silly].
Scene 11
Felicia and Bobbie chit-chat about Bobbie's life as Mrs. Cassidine.
Scene 12
Miranda sends a suit-and-tied Mac off to visit Katherine then thinks back to
Jax's own poetic vows of love.
Scene 13
As Felicia and Tom walk away from the house, Felicia remarks she had a good
time but didn't get any dirt on Stephan; however, Tom counters that they didn't
exactly come away empty-handed. [What did he steal the towels?]
Scene 14
Meanwhile, Bobbie bubbles about the party. After she leaves, Stephan and Alexis
exchange words, and Alexis repeats her dire warning to stay away from Katherine
because Tom is suspicious. Later, however, Stephan takes a single white rose
and goes out.
Scene 15
In bed, Felicia asks Tom if Stephan or Alexis shot Katy. He thinks Stephan did,
and Alexis knows. While Tom's showering, his phone rings, and Felicia answers
it, but no one is there [Luke?].
Scene 16
Kevin and Lucy sit by the fire, then she says he wanted to be alone so it's
time she left. Suddenly, he blurts out that she should move in with him.
Scene 17
Jax visits Miranda at Mac's. After some reminiscing about promises on the
stars, she suggests they get down to divorce talk.
Scene 18
Meanwhile, Brenda heads for Luke's Club where she tells Sonny, "I can't do this
anymore."
Scene 19
Mac brings Katherine an engagement ring and proposes.
Scene 20
When a naked Tom returns to a naked Felicia, she tells him about the call. He
looks concerned and covers up [pun intended].
Scene 21
Lucy in her inimitable style accuses Kevin of wanting to live together only
because he's guilty about not wanting to marry her, and, in fact, doesn't
really want to live together either.
Scene 22
Miranda suggests they skip dinner out and settle the divorce over pizza.  Jax
eagerly agrees. [I think it's time for him and Miranda to have a quickie and
claim "it was a mistake, and I'm sorry."]
Scene 23
Brenda tells Sonny she's done playing detective, and the whole "game" is over.
Scene 24
As Mac tries to convince Katy to marry him, Stephan lurks unseen outside the
door. Despite Mac's eloquent pleas, she turns him down.
Scene 25
Brenda, looking as sexy as she ever has, tells Sonny she's safer without him
around, safer from his smile and his protecting her.  She insists she loves Jax
and wants to marry him again after his divorce.

Secret Update Bonus Section:
The real lyrics to the old song Louie Louie according to The Straight Dope by
Cecil Adams:

Berry...explains the song of a seafaring man, spoken to a sympathetic
bartender named Louie.

"Louie Louie, me gotta go.  Louie Louie, me gotta go.
A fine girl, she wait for me.  Me catch the ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone.  I never think I'll make it home.
Louie Louie, me gotta go.
Three nights and days we sailed the sea.  Me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there.  I smell the rose in her hair.
Louie Louie, me gotta go.
Me see Jamacan moon above.  It won't be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms and then I tell her I never leave again.
Louie Louie, me gotta go.
