General Hospital Update for Thursday, 3-Jun-1999

Not the most exciting episode, but here goes ....

Nik and Liz, in the hospital lounge, talk about Laura's situation. Nik tells Liz she is very strong. Liz tells him to be there for Laura and try to get her to talk about her grief, that obviously holding it in is not working for her.

Laura is in her hospital room, she looks absolutely terrible. She is on the phone with Lulu, trying to be cheerful. Bobbie comes in, telling Laura that no matter what, they'll always be family. Sonny comes in, Bobbie leaves. Laura wants to know who told Sonny she was there, he says Luke (I thought Sonny and Luke weren't buddy-buddy anymore?!). He tells Laura he thinks he can help her; he sort of knows what she's going thru. Tells her that she has to allow herself to feel the pain; Laura says she doesn't think she can live thru that. He advises her to let someone help if she can, something he couldn't do. They hold hands and she thanks him for coming. He leaves. She is pretty weepy by now.

Nik comes in and gives Laura a picture that Lulu drew for her -- a family picture of Luke, Laura, Nik, Lucky and Lulu. Laura starts crying, saying her baby needs her family. Laura cries that she keeps failing her children. Nik says it's not true, she loves them and love is everything, the best. He tells her to be proud of herself, and of course she cries harder. He tells her that Liz sees a grief counselor and suggests that Laura see one too. Laura promises to think about it.

Jax is at home and who should show up but Simon Prentiss, the guy from Monte Carlo who V hit over the head. You know, the guy who cheated at cards. He tells Jax he knows "Isabella" was a fake (he tracked down the real Isabella in Argentina) and that he is hopelessly in love with "whatever her name is." He wants Jax to set up a meeting; Jax pretty much refuses, though he's laughing. Simon declares that he's staying in Port Charles till he finds the mystery woman.

Ned, V, and Chloe are Chez Q in the living room. V is trying to talk to Ned about his rehearsing; finally she gets fed up and hangs up on all the phone calls, including Chloe's assistant. Chloe doesn't care and wants to hear about the music. Ned plays them an impromptu "concert" and of course they love it. Jax walks in, makes fun of Ned, and tells V about Simon. V is horrified. Jax and Ned leave for a business meeting in New York. V tells Chloe she's repulsed by Simon; Chloe says he's her good friend and a very eligible bachelor.

Felicia and Luke are at Luke's talking about the letters. Felicia has another corny flashback. They decide that the missing letters are probably hidden at the Oyster Bay house that Edward mentioned in the letters. They make a date to go there tomorrow in Luke's pink caddy. Felicia asks Luke to speculate about the Q secret; he says it's probably an illegitimate child -- Lila's and her first fiance, who died in the war. They wonder who it could be, someome in PC perhaps? Felicia says, "Maybe it's you Luke! Lila is very fond of you after all." Luke, in the funniest line of the show, tells Felicia that "Lila's attraction to me is strictly sexual." Luke asks if Bubba (Mac) cares that she's spending so much time with "the infamous me"; Felicia claims he's behind her 100 percent.

Felicia leaves and meets Bobbie at the Grill. They talk about Luke; Felicia says he's helping her with a mystery. Bobbie comments that her eyes are "dancing." She tells Felicia that Luke is all about love and loyalty and the Laura/Lucky stuff has really gotten to him. She thinks a little fun with Felicia (the mystery, she means!) will be good for him.

Jason goes to the penthouse, Sonny tells him to go to a public place tonight. Jason has figured out that Moreno dies tonight. He tells Sonny he hates this; Sonny says he does too but it's the way it's gotta be. Jason leaves and goes to Luke's with paper work. Hannah immediately waits on him, telling him she thinks she'll surprise Sonny with dinner at the penthouse. Jason tells her not tonight. Luke overhears and looks menacing. He comes over to Jason and tells him it's okay to use the club as a cover, but he wants to know whether Sonny is taking care of the Moreno problem tonight. Luke says he is tired of being "a spud standing in the middle of the street with his pants down" (the second-best line of the show) in the middle of a turf war.

Back to the penthouse... Benny tells Sonny everything is in place and they're just waiting for your call. Sonny looks expressionless and says, "all right, let's hit it."

That's it!
