General Hospital Update for Friday, 18-Jun-1999

Edward, looking for Emily, is appalled that her room has things strewn about. Monica tells him that Emily went to the Ball with Jason. Edward sees one of Emily's tapes and takes it with him. Downstairs later, Jax arrives while Edward is being his usual grumpy self with the rest of the family. When Chloe makes her entrance, all eyes are on her and her original "gown." However, when Carly makes her entrance, only Edward seems to notice. AJ notices the diamonds that Jason gave her and demands she take them off. He then gives Carly diamond jewelry he bought for her. The Q's just stand around and watch in amazement.

Backstage at the Ball, Lucy and Katherine are trading insults. Jerry and Bobbie talk about Amanda's $500,000 contribution. Juan stands alone. As Amy tries to get Lucy ready, Felicia tells Lucy that she can't believe that Lucy's doing a number with Eve after what Eve did to her and Kevin last year. Felicia misses the four of them being together. Lucy explains how Kevin couldn't trust her after Eve's revelation. Katherine and Eve are looking forward to the finale tonight. They know Lucy doesn't suspect a thing.

At Kelly's, Sonny arrives to escort Hannah to the Ball. She tells him she'll repay him for the gown, but he insists that she doesn't. Tony is there to bring Tammy. As they are leaving, the phone rings. Tammy doesn't answer it. It's Janell calling.

Simon is at Jax's to bring V to the Ball. She looks very glamorous and is quick to tell him that she'll be back in sweats tomorrow. When Jax and Chloe get there, V and Simon are sipping champagne and chatting comfortably. Ned and Alexis are next to arrive and Ned teases Jax about not performing again this year at the Ball.

There's a whole segment done with "Rock this Town" playing throughout. We see all the couples already mentioned plus Mac and Felicia, Emily and Jason, and Nik and Liz. Most of the women spin around to showcase their gowns.

After Lucy announces Amanda's generous contribution, she speaks about an anonymous contribution made in Robin's name. The camera shows Felicia looking at a choked-up Mac and Emily looking at Jason. Katherine and Lucy both want the microphone but Lucy introduces the Q men (AJ, Edward, Alan and Ned) who do "I Feel Good" accompanied by four female dancers. The men all wear sunglasses and blue satin shirts.

Monica introduces Emily's video. We see Lucy talking about her friend, John Hanley, who died on the night of a Nurses' Ball years ago. Many real-life AIDS patients talk about their lives. Alan talks about the heartbreak of telling a patient they are HIV positive.

Amanda tells everyone at the Q table that she has commsissioned two dancers to perform a la Fred and Ginger. Edward has his own announcement. AJ is now CEO of ELQ. Carly is thrilled. Alan and Monica are silent. Ned and Alexis are mad.

Juan watches Sonny and Hannah kissing.

Edward brings Emily's tape, marked NB #4, backstage and puts it in a bag with other tapes.

Tammy is on the phone with Janell who says she's coming to see her. She brings the baby to Tammy.

Lucy flips out when someone tells her that the couple Amanda hired can't dance tonight. One of them has a sprained ankle. She is afraid she will lose the large contribution. Chloe and Jax overhear. Chloe has an idea. She knows Jax doesn't want to perform at a Nurses' Ball but she asks him to "think gazebo." They do a ballroom dance and the crowd enjoys it. Backstage, they do one of those long and close and longing gazes into each other's eyes when you think they will kiss, but of course they don't.

Sonny and Hannah are kissing again and the new boy in town is right behind them watching.
