Special Update - For Our East Coast Friends
Tuesday - May 27th 1997

********
We interrupt this program for a special News Flash:
Jasper Jax lost the Indy 500 when he was pulled over by a cop.
********

We return you to our regularly scheduled program, already in
progress:

KEVIN AND LUCY

Lucy groveled to Scott on his answering machine, telling him
Kevin was all right now.  Kevin walked in while she was explaining
him to Scott.  Lucy thought he might be angry about that, but he
was angry that Scott is keeping Serena away from her.  Kevin
offered to separate so that Scott will let his daughter see her.
Lucy refused.  She asked him how his father was.  He had been
checked into GH and Gail had promised to look in on him.
Kevin apologized for his father's sudden visit.  And Lucy
said that she "likes surprises". (And there are plenty coming up.)

MONICA AND DORMAN

Dorman whined, groveled and ranted some more, to an
unimpressed Monica, who threatened him with various
tortures and settled on reading him Matt's toxicology report.
She faced him with Matt's murder.  Dorman squirmed some
more.  Monica checked her watch.  Almost time for the family
meeting.  She held up a needle to show Dorman exactly the
amount of heroin that had killed Matt.  He groveled some
more and screamed when she injected him.  Monica returned
after the family meeting, and informed Dorman that she had
not injected him with heroin, just some more sodium pentothal.
When he demanded to know what she was going to do with him,
she told him that she intended to put him on trial for his crimes
and that the judge would be Monica Quartermaine.

KAREN WEXLER CATES

Alan asks Karen, who has just flown out from San Francisco,
to join the GH staff as an intern.  She refuses, saying that she
has a life with Jagger out on the west coast and couldn't
possibly accept.  Alan presses her to consider it.  Karen runs
into Lee Baldwin as she's hovering around the phones.  Lee
gives her a hug.  Apparently off-screen in the past three years
Scotty has informed his parents that Karen is his daughter.
Lee invites Karen and her mother Rhonda to dinner.  Karen
then makes a phone call to Jagger's answering machine, and
complains about their marital problems, and asks him to give
her a reason to come home.

QUARTERMAINES

The first Quartermaine Family therapy session did not go well.
Edward was gruff and uncooperative.  A.J. showed up.  Alan
was late since he was talking to Karen.  Monica was late, since
she was torturing Dorman.  Ned was nice, and limited his snide
remarks to one dig at A.J.  Alan came home just before Mac turned
up.  Mac was looking for Monica.  Why?  We don't know.  Perhaps
Jason let him know that Monica suspected Dorman.  Monica
appeared seconds after Mac left, and the question remains, how
did he miss her?  Though Alan thought she looked bad, Monica
was positively cheerful and glowing.  The therapy session went
on off-screen and ended badly.  Emily came running out the room
very upset and ran upstairs.  The therapist advised them to leave
Emily alone for awhile.  They took the advice.  Monica went back
to torture Dorman some more.  And Alan took it upon himself to
torture A.J. a bit.  He asked A.J. to move back in; tried to lay a
guilt trip on him about being there for Emily and Monica.  A.J.
wasn't buying any and instead commented on Alan's poor
relationship with Edward.

SONNY AND BRENDA

Brenda told Sonny Jax was history. They tackled the trust issue.
They kissed and made up.  They then started to repeat themselves
and we had to fast forward.

JAX AND HIS POLICE OFFICER

Jax is arrested by a pretty deputy, on her third day of duty.  She
thinks that he was trying to jump bail by crossing into Canada.
She takes him back to Port Charles.  They flirt and spar all the
way back.  Jax demands to see Mac, who has just returned from
bothering the Quartermaines.  Mac just thinks it's funny, and
maintains the cover story, by praising Officer Ardanowski.
She says she's going to stay on the case, because Jax almost
made it out of the country the first time. (Not since the Vietnam
War has Canada been such a popular destination.)  An
exasperated Jax stomps out of Mac's office, and is shadowed
by the determined Ardanowski.
