General Hospital UPDATE for Monday, May 4, 1998--

***still looking for volunteers to take over as Monday Updater--

Please e-mail if you're interested!***

Alexis' apartment--

  Luke realizes that Alexis is a "virgin"--she's never planned a

murder before.  No matter--Alexis will not put up Helena's demands

any longer.  The only way she will be safe is for Helena to die.

Luke tells her she better think whether she can live with the

consequences.

  Alexis answers, no prob.  She wants to help Luke plan and carry

out Hel's murder.  Not for just her own sake, but for Nik's.

She's prepared to argue self-defense for the crime.  Luke says if

they do it right, they'll never get caught.

  Alex confesses that Helena ended the affair between Alex and

Ned, by forcing her to defend Tony.  Watch out, Luke quips--she

may be starting to trust him (Luke).  Maybe that's not a good

idea, Alex thinks.  What would keep Luke from using her as a fall

guy?  Because they both have a common goal--Helena's death.  The

two conspirators agree that the whole thing must look like an

accident.

Ruby's place--

  Jerry meets Bobbie at a table and tries schmoozing with her.

Jerry lays on the charm, but she's not having it.  She informs him

that she has no info on Luke or anyone else.  Jer knows about

Bobbie's past with men--Stefan, tony, etc--and is impressed by

her taste for variety.  Not one to be put off, he invites her out--

several times.  Bobbie turns him down, but her smile hints that she

likes him more than she lets on.

  Jer gets a phone call from Jax--who's learned that the ELQ jet

has disappeared with Brenda and Jason aboard.

Elsewhere--

  Ned, Jax and Jerry do their best to locate the whereabouts of the

downed plane.

  At PC Hotel restaurant, Lucky and Liz craftily have Mrs. Murty

paged so that they can learn her identity.

Q manse--

  Monica tries to sneak away from her birthday party, but AJ and

Emily drag her back.  Alan, clumsy and slow-witted due to the

effects of pills, tries to shower his wife with gifts but winds

up showering them all over the floor.  The others see that some-

thing is off, but try to make a joke of it.

  Bobbie turns into a "pahtee poopah" (Arnold Schwartznegger

accent) when she arrives and tells them of the downed plane.

  Ed Q wants to get the Governor on the horn and demand action!

(Haw haw--that's my Gov, too--Governor Pataki--so that's where

he got his campaign funding!)  While Ed and Bobbie call Michael's

nanny, AJ comforts Emily.  Alan responds to this latest family

crisis in his usual way--you guessed it-- by taking a bunch of

pills.   Ed later sidelines Monica to suggest swooping in and

taking Michael, now that there's no one to protect him.  Monica

is disgusted he could mention such a thing, when she doesn't even

know if her son is alive.

"Dee playne, dee playne!" (Herve Villechaize accent)

  Ralph and Alice (aka Jason and Brenda) hang on for dear life as

the plane nosedives.  Even in the midst of their life-threatening

trauma, the Honeymooners still find time to squabble.  They're

going to crash!  No they're not! Are too!  Are not!  Uh huh!

Nuh-uh!

  Jason wins--they crash. Both passengers are knocked unconcious.

Brenda wakens, then cries for Jason to wake up.  A trickle of

water gurgles through the plane door.  At last he rouses and their

argument resumes.  Bren checks on the pilot--he's dead.  But she

found this cool pack of stuff that they really really need.  Put

down the stupid pack, Brenda, we don't need it!  Yes we do! No

we don't!  Uh huh! Nuh-uh!

  Brenda puts down the pack and plays supergal,lifting some heavy

object that is trapping Jason's leg.  Jason frees himself and

tells her that they have to open the door and swim for safety.

In the water, the two aquanauts attach themselves to a floating

piece of debris.  Jason grimaces manfully and Brenda screams

helpfully.

  Conclusion--

  Jax can't deal with the "hurry up and Wait" attitude of the

others, so he rushes into the night to rescus his little koala

bear, Brenda.

  Meanwhile, Leonardo and Kate hold onto their little floaty

thingy for dear life and paddle off into the darkness.

The End!
