UPDATE for General Hospital--Monday 5/18/98

***FEATURING***

****MEET YOUR NEW MONDAY UPDATER--PART ONE****

Lidia has kindly agreed to take over as one of the new GH updaters

for Mondays.  She will be handling the first and third Mondays,

begining in June.

  Lidia is a Sociology student who will be graduating next year.

She is 28 years old and lives in Northern California.  She has been

watching GH for four years (and if she stuck through the Culliton

years we know she must be a *real* fan!)

  Lidia's favorite GH couple is Lucky and Liz and she also enjoys

Jason and Robin.  She is also enjoying the "Jason as father"

storyline. Her least favorite character is Sarah and her least

favorite couple is (guess I should say *was*) Stefan and Kat,

although she thinks killing Kat was a bit of a drastic

solution.  Past faves have been Robin & Stone and Sonny & Brenda.

  Please make Lidia feel welcome in her role as new updater!

********YAY LIDIA********

Now we return to our regularly scheduled update, already in

progress--

  Outside Ruby's--

  Bobbie and Tony temporarily put aside their feud as they

remember BJ on the anniversary of her death.  Tony admires the

way Bobbie has managed to go on with his life, while he can't get

past losing his daughter.  It's been four years.  He hates the

thought of blaming his daughter's death for his own downward

spiral.  "Then don't, Tony," Bobbie tells him, her voice hard.

"Just stop."

  She reminds him of his past, before he became known as "St. Tony

the Good"--and boy, has she got a long memory!  He wasn't always

an upstanding fellow--in fact, he only acquired that role because

brother Frisco had already taken the role of family bad boy. But

Tony has a shady past of his own--like having sex with his mother's

nurse while Mom was dying in the next room.  When his wife Tanya

died, he had an affair with Lucy.  When Bobbie hurt him, he had

turned to Carly.  That's his pattern--whenever something painful

happens to him, he has an affair.  He's a kidnapper, an adulterer,

and an unfit parent--and it's time he take responsibility for his

actions instead of laying all his crap (that was the exact word

she used) at BJ's feet!  (Woo hoo!  You go, girl!)

She stalks away, leaving Tone with much to ponder.

Malibu--

  Jax and Bren promise their love for each other.  Nothing can

stop their love now or stand in the way of their upcoming nuptials.

They toast Brenda's persistence in chasing Jax like a Tasmanian

she-devil in heat (well, they didn't quite phrase it like that).

Anywhoo, thank goodness for Bren's stick-to-it-iveness, because

look how happy they are now.

  Then Jax humbly thanks Brenda for not taking no for an answer and

making him face things and work them out when his inclination was

to walk away when she dumped all over him.  (Well, I think his

actual phrase was "when things didn't go the way I wanted.")

  He suggests they head to Vegas for a speedy wedding, but Bren

holds her man off.  Nuh-uh.  This time, she wants them to savor

their engagement and make all their plans together.  They top the

evening off with a bout of passionate lovemaking.

  Jason's place--

  Sonny's back, with a mustache and goatee!  He hugs Robin and

meets baby Michael.  R & J catch him up to speed on all the events

he missed, and he almost blows his stack when he learns of Tony's

kidnapping escapade.  Robin makes him promise not to try to get

even.

  Like the good little mob wife in training, Robin disappears to

rustle up some eats while the big men talk bizaness.  Sonny tells

Jason that their enemies are moving in on them.

  HE tells them both that he owns a casino now in warmer climes.

Sonny also marvels at the change in Jason, compared to his former

self, and Robin credits that to the baby. When Jason takes the

child upstairs, Robin fills Sonny in on a few more things--like

Brenda's nervous breakdown.

  Sonny reacts with disbelief and guilt.  Robin tells him that he

must never go back to her--Sonny swears that is not his intesnt.

She tells him that Brenda is better now, and that she's Malibu

now with Jax.  They're in love and happy at last.

  Later, Jason tell Sonny how *he's* REALLY Michael's father (yuh

right), even though he had nothing to do with the conception.

Sonny says even more reason to take care--their enemy, Carlos,

plans to move against them.

  The Docks--

  Jerry once again meets up with the Mystery Guy, who in an

amazing co-incidence, turns out to be none other than Carlos, the

very same bad guy that S & J were discussing in the last scene!

 Carlos mumbles some more threats as Jer makes more vague promises

  Psychiatric Hospital--

  Bobbie visits Carly, but makes it clear that she's in a bad

mood.  CArly presents her with a macrame key-chain she made for

Lucas in OT.  Bobbie softens and they hug.  Carly hands her mom

a tissue and tells her there's plenty more where that came from.

She realizes that it's BJ's anniversary, and just wanted to offer

a shoulder to lean on and a sympathetic ear.  Bobbie responds

gratefully.  As horrible as it was to lose both her daughters, she

is glad to have found one of them again.

  Closing--

  In PC, Jason swears that he told Brenda nothing about Sonny's

reasons for deserting her, despite her repeated questions.  Good,

Sonny answers, it's over. (Do we believe him, guys?)

  In Malibu, Jax and Brenda bask in the afterglow.  "Promise me

we'll always be this happy," Bren murmurs.

  The End!
