GH Update Monday July 27

CHAPEL

Lucy and Felicia come out of minister's chambers and walk past the
guests to the lobby of the chapel. Lucy tried to put on a brave face for
Felicia and Mac's sake. Felicia feels bad about Lucy being ãleft at the
altarä and offers to postpone her own wedding. But Lucy tells Felicia
that she won't walk out on them, like Kev walked out on her - she's
gonna get them married today. Felicia tells Lucy not to give up on Kevin
and thanks her for her support. They all walk out into the chapel toward
the minister.

JASON'S

Jason returns downstairs,  after putting Michael down for a nap, and
finds part of the room ransacked - he discovers money missing, as well
as his gun - Alan is gone as well...

ãBADä PART OF PC

Alan sees his dealer and walks up to him, putting the gun to his back.
Alan orders his dealer to give him drugs or he'll kill him...

Back at JASON'S / MONICA'S OFFICE AT GH

Jason calls Monica to warn her about Alan, telling her that Alan was
there and asked Jason to help him get drugs. When he told Alan to get
out, Alan went berserk and, when Jason went to put Michael to bed, Alan
apparently went through Jason's desk, taking money and his gun. Monica
is very worried, of course.

Back at the ãBADä PART OF PC

Dealer tries to calm Alan down, telling him that he's get the drugs for
him - he just has to wait for half an hour. Alan doesn't want to wait,
but tells him that if he doesn't return, that he will come after him.

Back at the CHAPEL

The minister wants to get started with Mac and Felicia Îs wedding, but
Felicia interrupts him - she wants to explain it all to their  guests -
that they weren't going to get married today at all. Lucy looks at Mac
and Felicia in surprise...Felicia tells everyone all about the
James/Tess saga - the kidnapping and fake engagement, etc. She also
tells them that they are thankful to everyone for their support -
without it they never would have realized that they belong together.
Felicia goes right into the vows:

I love you, Mac. I always have. You walk into a room, and I feel safe.
You smile at me, and suddenly my world fills with joy. You touch me, and
I know for certain my heart belongs to only you. You're my strength, my
wisdom, my anchor, my home. And I promise to love and honor you for the
rest of my
days.

As Felicia is saying her vows, Liz and Lucky look at each other shyly
[his arm around her?]; Robin is smiling; V is crying her eyes out. Ned
offers her his hankie. Then it's Mac's turn:

A man can spend his entire life looking for the one person who makes him
whole. Sometimes that person is right in front of him, and he chooses to
look away, because love that strong, that pure, can be frightening.
You're that person for me,  Felicia, and I swear, I'll never look away
from our love again.  Whatever you and your children need from me, I'll
do my best to provide it. I'll be your lover, your friend, your
protector. I'll  be your body and soul from this moment on.

The minister pronounces them husband and wife. V is still crying... Mac
and Felicia kiss and everyone applauds. Lucy gives Mac and Felicia the
honeymoon in France that she and Kevin  were to have. Then Lucy runs off
to find Kevin. Felicia asks Mac how he feels. He replies: ãMarried.ä
They kiss some more...

CAFE MATISSE - MAC AND FELICIA'S RECEPTION

Lucky & Liz

Liz and Lucky are sitting at a table together, laughing about the
strange wedding they just attended. Liz tells Lucky that she thinks Mac
&Felicia's story was the most romantic thing in the world, even though
she didn't really understand it all. Lucky tells her she is a sucker for
ãgoopy stuffä. She retorts that she is a very edgy cynic  ! They are
both glad they came to the wedding (together).

Amy & Dara

Amy tells Dara that she must feel foolish for thinking she ever had
anything going with Mac [since he loved Felicia the whole time]. Dara
looks all annoyed and tells Amy ãa fling is a fling - you take whatever
you can get, don't you?ä Dara walks away, leaving Amy looking miffed...

Jerry & Bobbie

Jerry remarks that the problem with weddings is that everyone pretends
that they are all about love and commitment, but what everyone really
cares about is what  time the bar opens...Bobbie's response: the bar is
open now - he better go check it out! She walks away and he follows her,
smiling...

Karen & Joe (Port Charles folks)

Joe's got his finger in the wedding cake and Karen reprimands him.
Karen is still trying to understand Felicia's explanation - what was
that about a kidnapping? imposters? Joe wonders about what happened with
Kevin and Lucy. He invites Karen to his place for dinner to ponder these
and other important questions...

Ned & V

V is going on about how beautiful Îthe Commissioner's' vows were. V
offers Ned his hankie back. Ned tells her to keep it as a memento of the
occasion.  V sees Jax and Brenda all lovey-dovey and looks at them - a
bit jealous are we?

Brenda & Jax

They talk about their wedding plans. Brenda wants  an evening ceremony
by candlelight. Jax is willing - as long as they get married...

Mac & Felicia (& company)

Mac and Felicia arrive at the reception. Hugs all around for the
Scorpio/Jones family. Maxie asks Mac is she can call him Îdad'. He tells
her that she has a father that loves her very much. Maxie decides to
call him Îplain ol' Mac' from now on. Robin comments that it was ãquite
a ceremonyä. They all agree. Robin tells Mac that she has never seen him
so happy. He tells her he has Felicia, her, Maxie, Georgie, even Mariah
- what more could a man want? Mac turns to his guests to make an
announcement - the Scorpios and the Joneses are a family, they're gonna
stick together and take care of each other, and ãwe're gonna hugä (words
of wisdom from Georgie). Nikolas looks on at Robin and her family.

CASSADINES

Alexis and Stefan are discussing his trial. She tells him that Dara will
try to steamroll him into saying things he doesn't mean; they practice a
bit. She asks him what she thinks Dara will ask about Nikolas'
inheritance, his financial situation, how he could afford such a lavish
engagement party and expensive art and wine. Stefan's reply: ãMy credit
is good -- this IS America.ä Alexis asks Stefan to sound a little less
like a ãrecorded announcementä when talking about Katherine's death -
she feels he should be more emotional. Stefan reminds her that he is
unjustly accused and will be exonerated by a jury. He wonders why she
isn't working harder to prove that Luke was the one responsible. She
tells his that Luke isn't on trial. Stefan thinks that she should be
working with the investigators more, instead of play-acting with him.
Alexis then tells Stefan that he isn't to see Laura under any
circumstance - he won't agree to this. Laura is Nik's mother and he will
continue to see her. Alexis is all exasperated...

Back at the ãBADä PART OF PC

Alan's dealer returns with the pills. Alan downs a handful, then give
the dealer money out of his pocket. ãIs that enough?ä, he asks. ãThat's
perfect,ä replies Taggert.  Busted! Taggert is pointing a gun at Alan
and tells him to surrender his weapon. Alan is freaked and slowly puts
the gun on the ground. Taggert kicks it away and demands that Alan give
him his pills as well. He yells at Alan to get on his knees and put his
hands on his head, then pushes him to the ground and reads him his
rights. Alan just whimpers....

Back at the RECEPTION/CAFE MATISSE

Audrey congratulates Mac and Felicia.

Robin tells Nikolas that she's been dreaming since she was a young girl
about Mac and Felicia getting married - that they belong together.
Nikolas is distracted - he admits to Robin that he has information that
could incriminate Stefan in Katherine's murder....

Back at the CASSADINES

Alexis is angry that Stefan defied her ãordersä about not seeing Laura -
that it could really hurt his case. He tells Alexis about their family
outing in the park w/ Nikolas and Lesley Lu.  Alexis fears that Dara
will insinuate that Stefan's feeling for Laura were his motive for
killing Katherine.  Alexis wonders how Nikolas will profit by gaining a
mother, yet losing his uncle to the state penitentiary. Stefan
reluctantly agrees not to see Laura until the trial is over.

Back at the RECEPTION/CAFE MATISSE

Nikolas confides to Robin that he fears his testimony at Stefan's trial

missing a lot..ä They kiss some more.

until their first anniversary to stop.ä [ Stop what? Crying? Sending
gifts??]

V & Ned (again)

V to Ned: Have you  ever been in love?
Ned: A couple of times..
V: Hopelessly?
N:Once.
V: Was it requited?
N:For a while, but not long enough..
V: SUCKS, doesn't it...

Jax & Brenda

Jax wonders why V is so sentimental, all of a sudden...Brenda tells him
that weddings bring out strange things in people.. She whispers in his
ear..[I'm guessing here....something ot the effect of  ãweddings make me
want to have sexä??] He REALLY likes the idea - they say their goodbyes
and practically run out the door!

Audrey/Liz/Lucky

of at school. Audrey wants to know why she is taking private tutorials
from Mr. Murty....

other. Felicia shoves the cake into Mac's mouth; Mac feeds her a piece
with a fork, a bit more delicately...Cake for everyone!

Lucky & Liz

Liz and Lucky decide to step outside to get some air. They run into
Nikolas who tries to avoid them. Liz thanks Nikolas for keeping his
promise to her about not telling anyone about her rape. He tells her
that it is no one's business. Lucky is even big enough to tell Nikolas
that he could've made things harder on Liz  and he didn't  - he tells
Nikolas he won't forget it. Nikolas just nods his head [astonished by
Lucky's words???]. Lucky takes hold of Liz's hand as they walk outside.

reply: ãAs if I would.ä Tony then leaves.

PCPD

Alan tries to talk his way out of being arrested - that he is taking
pills for medicinal purposes only, that he is in terrible pain...Taggert
just wants to know - where did Alan get an unregistered gun without a
serial number??? Alan wants to make a deal. Justus walks by and Alan
pleads with him to help him. Taggert tells Justus that Alan was found
with a stolen firearm belonging to Justus' employer. Justus looks over
the police report and tells Alan that the case represents a conflict of
interest, then he walks away. Alan curses at Justus, telling Taggert
that he was always out for himself. Alan begs Taggert not to arrest him
and send him to jail - he has a career, a family - he'll lose
everything! Taggert reminds him that he gave Alan every opportunity to
pull himself out  - he chose to keep using - his choice, not Taggert's.

Back at the RECEPTION/CAFE MATISSE

Felicia rounds up all of the single ladies - time to throw the bouquet.

of lands in her hair...Liz is laughing and Lucky watches her, smiling.

him she loves him and is ready to start their life together. They kiss
some more...

PCPD

Monica arrives to fetch Alan, who is in handcuffs now. Taggert asks
Monica if she has considered his earlier offer [Alan avoids jail, if

Taggert nail Justus, but not Jason. Taggert agrees to their deal, very
happy with himself.

and how he might work against Stefan. Nikolas  asks Stefan to let him go
away for a while, until the trial is over. Stefan disagrees. Nikolas
tries to explain that his testimony could hurt Stefan. Stefan tells him
that if consequences result from the truth, then so be it. Stefan tells
Nikolas that their lives are here and that Nikolas isn't responsible for
Stefan's current situation, he has only himself to blame for allowing
himself to be vulnerable. He tells Nikolas that he is the future of
their family and that he should do nothing - especially in Stefan's name
- to jeopardize that future.

Back at the CAFE MATISSE - POST-RECEPTION

Felicia and Mac return to retrieve their honeymoon tickets that they had
left behind at the restaurant.  Felicia decides she is now Felicia

any] and she says yes, she hears it. They dance around the restaurant
and Felicia asks Mac to hold her and never let her go. They continue
dancing and kiss some more....
