General Hopsital Update for Monday May 25, 1998--

***FEATURING****

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

  Amanda will be the new GH updater for every 2nd and 4th Monday

beginning in June.  She is 19 years old and in second year of

university.  She hails from Ottawa, Canada, and has had plenty of

writing experience while serving as editor for her high-school

yearbook, which won second place in a country-wide competition.

  When it comes to GH, Amanda's absolute faves are Lucky and Liz,

and she is really enjoying their growing closeness.  Favorite

characters are Luke (she loves his sarcasm), Laura, Bobbie, Jason

and Carly.  "St. Robin" used to be a favorite, but has turned into

a bossy wuss. AManda "loves to hate" Tony and thinks Brad Maule is

a terrific actor.  She hates, period, Katherine (licks her lips

way too much) and Sarah (too pouty).  She also dislikes the Qs,

but thinks they're amusing to watch, and thinks the Alan drug story

definitely needs to "go somewhere".

  Please welcome Amanda as a new Monday updater!

******YAY AMANDA*********************************

  Now back to our regularly scheduled update--

        Spoon Island--

        Alexis tries to lure Helena away from the ball's festivities by

telling her that she (Alex) is pregnant.  Ned intervenes to protect

her from Hel's threats.  He kisses her passionately, but Alex

breaks free from him to follow Hel and play her part in "the plan".

  Meanwhile Stefan pursues a tearful Katherine.  Why did he invite

Laura to the ball?  He must have wanted to hurt her, meaning that

she is still important to him.  Laura appears behing him, and the

three of them stand on the balcony.  Kat puts it together--Stef

and Laura had a "relationship"--he loves her still.  That's the

secret he's been keeping all this time.

  "What do you two want of me?"  she cries.  Stefan tries to

approach her.  "Stay away from me!"  She backs away, and the rail

comes free.  Kat falls backward, screaming, and lands on the

ground below.

        Nik and Robin rush to her, followed by Mac.  Above, Stefan insists

Laura leave before anyone finds her on the island.  At the same

time, Luke, who's seen what happened, tells Alexis they have to

vamoose.  She's confused, and he tells her something went badly

wrong.

        Monica, Bobbie and Tony all try to help Kat as Mac contacts help

from the mainland.  A distraught Robin tries to call Jason, but

he's out and she leaves a message with Sonny. Stef realizes that

the railing was purposely loosened and informs Mac.

        A stricken Nik takes the accident harder than anyone. He soon

learns about the loosened railing as well.  Emily wishes that

she could comfort him, but Robin is there to do that.  Ed Q is

heartsick, after seeing Kat struggle so hard throughout her life,

to have it all come to this.

        When Mac questions him, Stef tells him that Luke SPencer was

behind Katherine's "downfall".

        Brender's place--

 Jax and Bren get all kissy and once again proclaim their love

to one another (oh, how my fingers itched to fast-forward, but

 I resisted!  Reminded of my updating responsibilities, I stayed

strong!)  Jax does not want to do the horizontal hoochie (Malibu

notwithstanding) cause his love bug is still recovering from

plane crash injuries.  Bren grumbles, but settles for a nice neck

rub.

  Later, she awakens from a snooze hearing a radio announcement

of the doin's at Windy-mere. She calls Jason's number, presumably

on Robin's behalf, and Sonny picks up.  Though he says nothing,

Bren knows that it's not Jason she's speaking to.

  Luke's club--

  Luke literally drags Alex into his office and tells her that Kat

took the fall instead of Helena.  Alex breaks down in anger and

guilt, flailing at Luke.  Crying, she insists she wants to confess

her part in the crime.  Luke grabs her and keeps her from going

anywhere.  ALexis cries hysterically that she doesn't care what

happens to them.  "Well, I care!"  Luke hollers.

  Calming a bit, in a dead voice she promises not to reveal Luke's

part in the mess, but that does not satisfy him.  In an appalling-

ly callous manner, he explains all the reasons why she should

keep her mouth shut.  Confessing won't bring Katherine back, and

perhaps she could even look at it as a way of saving Stefan

future heartbreak.  While granting that "Blondie" did not deserve

her fate, that it might even be deemed tragic, the fact is that

it was an accident.  Luke's covered all the bases, fixing it so

his alibi will stick, and the most important thing now is that

Alexis not blow the whole deal.

        The Spencer Home--

 Laura gazes at the family photos, happy to be home, still shaken

by the night's events. Luke enters and happily surprised, embraces

her.  She tells him she wants to come home to stay.  She also

wants to make love. (Do they or don't they? I didn't think so at

first--maybe the thought of Luke making love to his wife after

just having killed someone seemed too perverse for me to accept.

But now I'm not sure, given remarks Laura made in a later show.)

        Alone a bit later, she calls Spoon Island and tells Stef how

sorry she is about the accident.  It was no accident, he tells

her.  Her husband to blame for Katherine's fall.  He promises

that Luke will be repaid a thousand-fold.

        Laura doesn't believe him, but quickly leaves the house.  Luke

enters the room to find an unfinished not telling that she's gone

back to Carolina to pack up.

 Closing--

 Katherine is rushed into GH emergency.  Alexis hurries in, trying

to learn her condition.

 At the penthouse, Renaldo tells Sonny he has a visitor.

 Brenda enters.  "Hi, Sonny."

 The End!
