General Hospital Update for Wednesday, 30-Dec-1998

New Year's Eve in Port Charles and everyone's buzzing about the Bachelor Auction!! Robin gets things started off when we see her getting ready for it. She tells Jason that she'll miss him not being there, but understands why he can't go. They kiss and Carly plays buttinsky and tries to score points by telling Robin she wouldn't be caught dead anywhere Jason isn't welcome, even though it's for the Stone Cates Memorial Aids Wing. Jason takes the wind out of her sails by telling her to go, and he'll pay for her ticket.
Ned drops by Jax's and tells him that everyone will understand if he doesn't want to go on the auction block, based on the type of year he's had, etc... Jax has a stiff upper lip and tells Ned that Brenda would love to see him make a fool out of himself, so he's doing it. Nick goes to Lucky's apartment and tells him and Lizzy that they've all got plans for the auction, even though Lucky tries to weasel out of it by saying he has no tux. Nick has thought of every contingency and has brought one along...with his luggage, as he asks his brother if he can stay with him for awhile. (Now here's a thought: would the icky kitty have anything to do with it??) Speaking of Kat, we see her at Windemere, asking Stefan to be the MC for tonight's big bash. Not knowing when to quit when she's ahead, she asks Stefan to be auctioned. Bad Idea!!!!
Back at the Penthouse, Carly's ready for a night on the town. She comes down the stairs in her best sleazy ensemble (no slut pumps!!) and tells Jason she's going half naked because she wants to show off her diamond necklace. Jax is ready too, and is thinking about past New Years Eves with Brenda. Edward is with the rest of the Q's waiting to go (good move Lila. Have someone bid on him so you can get rid of him for the night!) when Nick comes to pick up Emily. Stefan, meanwhile, has an ulterior motive. He summons Tony to the island and tells him that he wants him in the auction.
Things wind up with the start of the auction. All of Port Charles' eligible bachelors (half the cast) are called down to the stage by Kat. Lucky looks like a little hunk in his tux and Nick's bedroom eyes are smoldering!! As it's a blind auction, it will be interesting to see who gets whom.....Stay tuned!!!!!
