                            GH Update for 12/12/97
                            By John R. Andrews, UIC

Scene 1
In Paris, Robin and Jason chit-chat snoozingly.
Scene 2
Justus suggests to EdQ that perhaps Jason should be embarrassed to be seen with
them, since they don't know for sure he ever killed someone, and they know
Justus did. Ned arrives to announce that ELQ Jakarta may be theirs again in
minutes.  Justus questions why he wasn't told that Jax was involved. Ned says
it was a need-to-know thing, and Justus didn't.
Scene 3
At Brenda's photo shoot, they begin her prep while interviewing her. Jax shows
up with flowers [how sweet].
Scene 4
Carly comes to see Tony at GH about colors for their new home's nursery, but
Doc Tact tells her he called the house deal off because he's lost interest in
the house and wants to concentrate on the baby. When she wants to discuss it
further, he blows her off for some meeting and leaves. Afterwards, Amy delivers
a folder from Alexis Davis which Carly promptly opens and finds the petition
Tony plans to file asking for full custody of the child.
Scene 5
Back at the photo shoot, Jax banters with Brenda who's wearing a dynamite white
gown [although her neck bones stuck out a bit too much for me. Feed that woman
a bit more please] saying he's got to leave.  As the flashbulbs go off, Brenda
seems more and more skittish as Jax looks on with growing concern.
Scene 6
Robin and Jason start to argue over Jason's business [it's de ja vu all over
again:)]
Scene 7
When Tony returns to his office, Carly explodes over the custody papers.  He
tells her he can't go on any more. In a terrific performance, she brings up how
he made her stay in PC because he said he loved her, but he replies with a
litany of her supposed sins against him and says he believes the child would be
better off with him. [Isn't this breach of promise?]
Scene 8
The photo shoot continues; a bulb pops scaring an already nervous Brenda.
Scene 9
Jason and Robin start to say goodbye, but Robin begs him to stay. He says he
can't. Sonny left him the business, and it's his responsibility now.
Scene 10
Backed into a corner, Carly goes on the attack. With steely eyes, she tells
that sanctimonious air bag that no matter what he does or says he will never
get her baby away from her [Jeez, I love her.]
Scene 11
Jax visits the Q's for the Jakarta signing. He says if his brother doesn't hear
from him in 20 minutes, several factories in Jakarta could suffer damage.
Justus looks on with mild disgust.
Scene 12
More modeling mumbo-jumbo until suddenly Brenda starts to see images of Jason
in a blood-stained shirt repeating a phrase Sonny had used when he left that a
photographer unknowingly also used. She freaks out [picture Betty Boop on PCP]
destroying the set and threatening the staff with a tripod.
Scene 13
Ned announces that ELQ Jakarta is theirs again, and Jax calls off his brother.
Once again, Justus is odd man out.
Scene 14
On the plane home, Jason flashes back to his telling Robin yet again he can't
leave the business. [Note to Guza: enough already. We're tired of this scene.]
Scene 15
Carly takes careful aim at Dr-Holier-Than-She and lets him have both barrels.
First, she tells him, he could never prove she was unfit, and besides, he has
no rights to the child, not legally, not morally, and certainly not
biologically. Tony is taken back. "Who's the father," he asks. "Jason," she
answers firmly.
