GH UPDATE for 7/28/97--

"Previously on GH":  Carly blurts out "I'm pregnant" to Bobbie/
"Tin Man" greets Sonny and Brenda behind bar at Tiger Key/
Emily tells Alan that Monica killed Dorman/
Robin blows up at Jason

Scene--Port Charles Hotel Dining Room
       Alan insists that Emily tell him everything she knows
about monica and Dorman.  Ned and Monica barge in and glom
onto Emily, who's still shaken over what she said to Alan.
"Emily, why won't you talk to me?"  Monica murmurs while
Ned attaches himself like a leech to Em's other side.
      "Monica, leave Emily alone," Alan says.  (Go, guy!)
       "I certainly will not!"
      Emily looks like she might fall apart.  AJ suddenly
appears on the scene.  She runs to him and throws her arms
around him.
     Monica asks what Emily said to him--Alan is silent.
His beeper goes off--he has to head back to the hospital.
Monica and Ned put their heads together for the 587th
time and mutter about what Emily might have told Alan.
Ned takes the girl home while Monica heads to the
hospital, presumably to further pester Alan.

  Restaurant Ladies' Room--
  Bobbie reacts with shcok to Carly's news.  Carly says
she didn't mean to blurt it out like that--she was in the
stall and didn't see who she was talking to.  Bobbie gets
sarcastic.  "Did you grow up reading 'True Romance for
Biker Sluts'?"  She has no doubt that Carly planned it
exactly this way.  Though Carly tearfully denies it,
Bobbie reams her out.  Finally, Carly tells her"Whether
you like it or not, I am having Tony's baby--so do me a
favor, choke on it."
   Bobbie congratulates Carly on the neat little trap she
set to catch Tony.  Carly counters that Bobbie is bbitter
and hateful, trying to spoil the one good, pure thing in
Carly's life.
   "Good?"  Bobbie snorts.  "Pure?  Is that what you tell
youself...that you're not some little whore--"
    "Don't call me a whore!"  Carly screams.
     "Or what?"  Bobbie taunts.
     Carly won't go there.  She just answers with a taunt
of her own.  "You'll just have to face the fact that this
little whore can give him what that one [indicating
Bobbie] never could."
     The women emerge and deal with Tony.  He insists that
none of this was meant to hurt Bobbie.  Maybe he's not
sure the baby is really his, Bobbie hints.  Carly asks
"Bobbie, can please find a tiny place in your heart to be
happy--not for me, but for Tony?  You loved this man--you
know how much he's wanted a child.  If you could have seen
him when he listened to my baby's heartbeat..."
    Bobbie can stand no more.  She looks like she's had
the heart torn out of her.  "I can't believe I ever
thought I knew you," she chokes out, staring at Tony.
"Enjoy your new family."  She escapes.

  GH, Jason's room--
  Robin tears into Jason.  Why does he want to risk his
life?  She grabs his face--"DO you understand that you
almost died?"
  Jason understands.  He loves his life and does not want
to die.  But he doesn't want Sonny to die, either.  Robin
doesn't understand how he can help Sonny with a hole in
his side.  "You've got to quit.  Stop working for Sonny.
Please."
   Jason is stunned.  "No,  I can't get out.  Ever.  I
know too much.  I've done things you don't even know
about."
   "Sonny could help you.  He would do it if you asked.
If I asked."
   Jason tells her no.  Even if he could get out, he
doesn't want to.  He goes into a riff on how important his
job is.  He's good at it.  Why shouldn't he do something
he's good at?
          "Because it can get you killed," she answers, tears
streaming.  "And I can't stand seeing one more person I
love die."
   She talks about all the people she's lost in her life.
Despite all of this, Jason tells her that this is the life
he wants--the one he chose.  "What if it's not what I
want?"  Robin asks.
   Mac comes in with news of Sonny.  He and Brenda are
probably holed up in Tiger Key, waiting for the Tin Man.
Robin takes a wlak, and the two men speak privately.  Mac
wants to get some things straight with Jason.
  At one time, Mac would have loved Robin to fall in love
with Jason--a rich, smart, genuinely nice guy. But the
Jason  she fell in love with was violent, antisocial and
worked for Sonny Corinthos.  Shows you to be careful what
you wish for.
  But now Mac wants to bury the hatchet.  Jason says "But
I almost got her killed."
   Mac knows that, but he also knows Jason will not let
that happen again.  And he can't go to Florida--he'd only
be a liability to Sonny.
   Robin returns and Mac leaves.  Jason tells her "I would
do anything for you--kill, or die, every single day for
you.  But this job's a part of me and I can't give it up."
Robin answers "Just once I wish you would lie."
   She leaved the room.  Though she's just outside the
door, they are a million miles apart.

  Carly's place, later--
   She tells him how much it means to her that he believes
her telling Bobbie was an accident.  They had their crisis
of faith with the custody papers incident, tony reminds
her.  He knows she would never deceive him again--would
she?  O course not, she vows.
   Tony goes to bed.  Carly's still in the living room
when she flashes back to Bobbie's words--is it really
Tony's baby? Carly winces at the memory.
   Suddently AJ taps at the door.  "You guys awake in
there?"  Carly presses aginst the door, not answering.  AJ
returns to his place.  Carly is left alone with her guilty
conscience.

  Dive in Tiger Key--
  Sonny and Brenda are waiting in a divey bar, hoping to
spot the tin Man.  Sonny notices the bartenders are acting
suspiciouslyu.  The bearded "bartender" speaks on the pay
phone while fiddling with a foil gum wrapper and eyeing
Sonny.  "That's him," Sonny announces.
   While Sonny tries to explain this to a less than
brilliant Brenda, a crash behind the bar startles them.
When they glance back to the phone, the Tin Man is gone.
A skinny bartender drops a leather billfold on their
table, which contains a note and an origami animal.  "Open
it," Brenda urges as Sonny holds the note.  "Not here,"
Sonny answers.  They get up and leave.
   In their hotel room, Sonny tells Brenda they have been
"invited" to appear at some mansion on the island at 9:00
p.m.  "Let's go," Brenda chirps.  Sonny says whoa.  They
have to evaluate their choices.  There could be danger
tonight--they might not make it back alive.  Sonny wants
to send Brenda off somewhere by herself so she will be
safe.  She tells him she's not leaving, no matter what.
   We see the Tin Man on the phone to his boss.  S&B
should be appearing very soon.  The Boss (we only see his
hands) lights four candles on the desk before him while
opera music plays in the background.  Then he takes two
long white gloves and lays them down as though decorating
an altar.

The End!
