General Hospital Update for Monday, Nov. 24, 1997

Scene--Windy-mere:
  Alexis has been tossed into the cold by Stefan.  She pounds on
the
door.  "Please let me in!  Don't send me away!"  She admits she
betrayed him, but there is still more she needs to tell him.  Cue
the sound of winds howling around her.  Her hair swirls around
her.
She looks alone and pathetic.  (To quote Thelma Ritter from "All
About Eve":
she's got "Everything but the hounds nippin' at her rear-end.")
  Stef opens the door just to let her have it again.  Never
darken
his door again.  She begs for forgiveness, or at least a chance
to
explain.  No sale, sister.  She slinks away.  Stef informs the
servants "Prepare my jet-ski (or whatever).  I shall now hie
myself
to yon mainland."
  Alone and friendless, Alexis finds herself on the mainland and
huddles down by the docks.  A hand touches her shoulder.  It's
Ned.  He questions her being there, then wraps his coat around
her.
   He tells her that he no longer thinks that she was behind the
Jakarta fiasco.  It doesn't matter, she answers.  She and Stefan
have severed their ties forever.  She has betrayed him, and a
Cassadine never forgives or forgets.
   Ned offers to take her home with him, but she tells him she
has
a place at the PC Hotel.  Well, he'll drive her there.  He
doesn't
have to take care of her, Alexis insists.  She's grown woman.
Even grown women need friends, he replies.  She allows him to
embrace her and rests her head on his shoulder.

  Meanwhile, Stef pounds on Kat's door.  "I must see you right
away!"  Unused to having his orders ignored, I guess, he lets
himself in to find the place empty and the furniture covered with
dustcloths.
  Back at Munster Mansion, Stef tells Nik that Alexis has been
banished.  "She's dead to us," he declaims.  He'll explain the
messy details later, but first her needs to find Katherine.  Nik
tells him that she's left Port Charles for good.

   Scene--Mercy Hospital, then GH:
   Tony wants Lorraine to tell him whatever it is she knows about
Carly.  Huh, Lo answers, she's not about to be interrogated.
Well, fine, Tone says, let's hash it out with Sister Margaret.
Ulp.  Okay, okay.  Lo thinks fast and tells him that she knows
something about the baby.  "It's a boy!" she chirps.
"Congratulations!"  Tony doesn't trust her, but has nothing solid
to base it on.  He leaves.
   Later, after enduring a few pot-shots from Nurse Amy, Carly
calls Lo from her room at GH.  Lo tells her that Tone is
suspicious--but no sweat, Lo saved the day.  What?!  Carly
hollers.  Doesn't Lorraine remember that the sonogram did not
reveal the baby's sex?  Oops.  Well, you got a 50/50 chance I was
right, Lo answers unsympathetically.  But Carly better help
Lorraine keep her job or Tony will soon learn that "the baby's
sex
isn't the only thing that's 50/50."
   Tony appears.  He's hurt that Carly lied to him.  (Geez.)  I
didn't *lie*, Carly tells him.  Tony put the sonogram idea into
her head when he first brought it up, and after that she just
couldn't stop thinking about it. (See, Tony, it's all your
fault.)
Cause, see, she was so scared that something was wrong with the
baby.  And she couldn't share her fears with Tony cause, you
know,
she wouldn't want him to feel obligated or anything.  (She is
really good, though, at making herself out to be scared and
helpless.  She almost had me feeling sorry for her.)  Of course
Tony folds and all is forgiven.
  They leave the hospital.  Gee, Carly, is the sonogram at home?
Uhhh...yeah...  Tone tells her he can't wait to see it--maybe
he'll even frame it!  Carly's smile is more like a wince.

  Scene--Luke's club, the office:
  Bobbie finds Carly's photo in Luke's safe.  What's it doing
there?  Oh, that, Luke says, thinking fast.  Well, see, he never
trusted Carly.  Even when she first came to town he knew there
was
something hinky about her (I got that word from "The Fugitive").
He had some detective work done on her--the photos were to help
dig up dirt.  But it didn't pan out.
   Oh, well.  Bobbie's not sure anymore that she's enjoy hearing
any dirt on Carly.  She finds herself drawn to the girl, feeling
sorry for her--esp. since she's been hospitalized and so worried
about the baby.  What, is Bobbie nuts?  Luke demands.
   Bobbie can't stop thinking about the pictures of Caroline that
Virginia sent.  Maybe she should just look at them and get it
over
with, instead of letting them weigh on her mind.  Bad idea, Luke
answers.  Caroline is gone and Bobbie will never know her.
   Then she invites Luke over for Turkey Day and he gloats to her
about "blowing the Cassadines out of the water" with the dirt
he's
digging up.  He shows her his computer stuff--he's trying to
figure out who Alexis was paying off.
   Woo-hoo!  Looky here!  The computer says that she's been
paying
off some guy at the local graveyard!  Was it for someone to dig
up
playmates for Count Drrac-yoo-lah?  (Luke's joke, not mine.)
Nah,
it must be something else.  Luke will make it his business to
find
out!

The End!
