  General Hospital UPDATE for Monday 6/16/97--

  Facts of interest (to me, anyway):  Keesha missing in action 18
shows
                        *Zero* flashbacks today--are they a thing of the past?
          a new cast member today--the four legged kind :-)

        "Previously on GH"--Carly thinks she's pregnant
                                                                                                                                                                        Bobbie and Luke try to break into Stef's
computer
                                                                                                                                                                        two hairs found on Dorman's body

                Quartermaine manse--
    Lila is dressing down Det. Taggert for harassing Emily.
Taggert insists that he must get hair samples from family
members, although he seems a bit more subdued once Lila gets
through with him.  Mr. T. informs the Qs that they are not above
the law--and for all their claims of innocence, they sure are
acting guilty.
                                Alan notices that Ned and Monica are acting "hinky" and wants
to know what they're hiding.  Monica tries to cover by telling a
half-truth.  She thinks Em is suffering from post-traumatic
stress sysdrome after everything she's been through.  Ned butts
in and adds to the general obfuscation.  Alan believes that Em
needs professional help.  Why are Ned and Monica trying to keep
so many secrets?

        The docks--
                                Jason is deep in thought--he's thinking about the promise he
made to Robin about looking after the Qs.  Sonny comes along and
they talk.  The cops are trying to pin Dorman's murder on Sonny
(gee, don't they realize that Sonny's a *nice* gangster?) and
wanted Jason to corroborate them.  Jason thinks that the Qs may
be involved in the murder--they're all acting weird (since when
don't they?).  He's especially concerned about Em, but he won't
let Sonny hang, even if it's at the expense of the Qs.  Sonny
tells his faithful lapdog to chill--the cops are spending so much
energy picking on poor misunderstood Sonny that the real murderer
is likely to walk.
    The guys then commiserate about how hard it is to control
women these days (just kidding).  Brenda needs to "get over" her
distaste for her lover-man's chosen line of work--little things
like getting shot at in the shower and knowing her predecessor
got blown up simply shouldn't get to her (sorry--I couldn't
resist).  Sonny knows the life is hard for Brenda but he's too
old to change. Jason reminds him that Brenda chose him of his own
free will.  Sonny is happy with their reunion and hopes that the
feeling will continue for both of them.

                GH--Audrey's hospital room
                Sarah (Audrey's granddaughter) has filled the room with
flowers, balloons, etc.  She explains to Amy that she feels her
gran may sense her surroundings, and wants her to know how much
she is loved.  Amy's cool with that. On her way out, she runs
into Lucky, who's just coming in.  She's aware of his interest in
Sarah.  "Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean I'm dumb.  And
Lucky, try not to pop any balloons on the way in."

  (Okay, so maybe I've got a dirty mind, but *I* thought there
was some sexual innuendo in this line.  Others feel it was just a
comment on Lucky's spiky hair.)

   Lucky and Sarah talk.  He can empathize with what she's going
through, because his grandma was sick, too.  He thinks the jokes
he told her made her feel better.  Sarah is near tears and Lucky
tries to comfort her (some real impressive acting on Jon
Jackson's part, I thought): "I know what you're going
through...it's okay, Sarah."

   (J.J. was very mature in this scene--I almost felt he grew
older before my eyes as I watched.  I'm not worried about his
ability to keep up with a somewhat older actress as a possible
love interest--I only hope she can keep up with him.)

  Elsewhere in GH--
                In the hallway outside of Stefan's office, Luke heads off
Stefan.  Bobbie is inside and --Eureka!--she has discovered the
secret password to break into his computer: "island".  She calls
up Luke on the cell phone and he picks up as he toys with Stef.
Luke pretends its Laura calling and tries to drop some hints
about Stef being right there with him outside the door.  When
Bobbie finally buys a clue, she panics.  There's no place to
hide!
        Luke steps aside when he can no longer hold off Stef.  Stef
prowls around his office while Bobbie is hunkered down on the
other side of an open bookcase.  Stef touches his computer (is it
warm?) and gets himself a glass of water from a pitcher on the
bookshelf  while Bobbie grimaces, hoping he doesn't spot her.
  Out in the hall, Lucky comes along.  There is a suspicious lump
under his shirt, but he responds vaguely to Luke's question about
it. They discuss dinner plans--pepperoni pizza--and Dad tells Son
pick one up along with a six-pack of beer.  "I'll need one of
those fake I.D.s", he reminds his dad.  Luke thinks better of it
(whew!) and tells Lucky he'll do the honors.

  When Stef leaves the office, he passes a janitor with his big
cleaning cart in the hall outside.  Once he's gone, Luke comes
out from behind the cart and hands the cleaner some cash.  He
hurries in to find Bobbie.  She tells him "Stefan knows."
  Luke is skeptical (sp?) and he and Bobbie spend a few minutes
doing their "spencers against the world" routine.  But Bobbie is
sure that Stefan is wise to her.  So what?  Luke wants to know.
"He'll find out that we're standing on the same side of the
firing squad.  This time, when we bury the hatchet, let's make
sure it's in Stefan's head."  They leave the room with their arms
around each other.

  Audrey's room again--
                A lumpy Lucky comes back in.  He tells Sarah that one thing
that helped his own grandma get better was his dog Foster.  So he
thought that maybe Audrey would enjoy a visit from her furry
friend, Gatsby.  He takes a big chubby calico cat out from under
his shirt.  Sarah thanks him and takes the cat in her arms.  (I'm
glad Audrey had somebody to come home to.)
   A bit later, they both sit by Audrey's bedside (Jon's holding
the cat--he seems to have better luck with it than the actress
playing Sarah).  Suddenly Sarah realizes that her grandmother's
eyes blinked.  They talk to Audrey encouragingly, and she openes
her eyes.  ""You've cut your hair," she murmurs to Sarah.

                Carly's apartment--
  Tony stops by the apartment and finds AJ there.  AJ tells them
he's looking forward to their performance at the Nurses' Ball.
Carly asks Tony if they're still doing the number--Tony answers
yes, they've made a commitment and everyone is counting on them.
                        The two men leave for a bit to check out a problem AJ is
having with his plumbing and little Ms. Crop-Top tears into the
kitchen.  She fishes her home pregnancy test out of the garbage
and plants it in the wastebasket in the bedroom next to Tony's
desk.  It's not quite obvious enough, so she crumples some more
papers and stuffs them into the trash, making sure the box and
test are perched right at the top so even a blind man would find
them.
          Back inside, Tony goes to his desk to retrieve some things he
left behind.  "What is this?"  he questions when he spots the
evidence.
        "Oh, my god, Tony.  I didn't mean for you to see that."  (The
girl is good.)
         "Are you pregnant?"
                        "It's not your problem."  (Just brimming with self-sacrifice
and nobility.)
        "Just answer me."
   Carly admits that she is "with child".  "You don't have to
worry about it."  She lets him know how much she wants the baby.
                        Tony is solicitous.  He wants her to see a doctor, take care
of herself.  HE gets emotional--after BJ died, he just never
believed that he would ever have another child.  Then he
apologizes for laying all his stuff on her.  Carly assures him
that she is happy that she's pregnant: "It feels right."  Tony
has to get away--the whole thing is just too emotional for him
now.  Carly looks pretty emotional, too, after he leaves.

        Back at the Qs--
   Monica receives a call from Stefan saying that he wants to
have her reinstated on the hospital board.  Alan congratulates
her, then excuses himself.  Ned tells her : "You had me worried.
I was afraid you were going to tell the truth."  Monica is
worried about Em, but doesn't want her to talk to anyone else
until Monica is sure that Em remembers nothing of the night of
Dorman's murder.
   Meanwhile, Alan is in the next room talking to Dr. Rogers (the
psychiatrist).  He wants to make an appointment with him for
Emily.  His daughter needs to start regaining her memory.

--end of show--
