General Hospital Update for Monday, 21-Jun-1999

Today's episode opens with Emily's video. Mac talks about Robin. Patients open their hearts about their life with AIDS. There are also interviews with Felicia and Bobbie.

Mike expresses concern to Jason that Sonny is out in public without a bodyguard. Jason tells him not to worry.

Sonny asks Juan to send over a waiter and gives him a tip.

Carly tells Bobbie about AJ's CEO appointment. Amanda asks Carly if she can recommend her name for the Charity Guild.

Backstage, Lucy instructs Amy on how to put in the next tape. Amy puts in the one marked #4. Lucy hears Ned introduce her and Katherine as co-mistresses and gets mad at Katherine. They perform "I am Woman" where they predictably try to upstage each other. The number ends with them back-to-back leaning on each other. Lucy takes a step so that Katherine falls and then Katherine pulls Lucy down on the floor where they both scramble forward to be seen as the curtain comes down.

Bobbie and Jerry are out on a terrace discussing the evening's happenings so far. It's time to watch Emily's video and at first the crowd is a little in shock as they see Bobbie and Jerry in all their glory. Then, most people start to snicker as they watch, especially when Amy hits the FF button and Bobbie and Jerry get undressed at a record speed. Carly and Amanda are horrified. When Bobbie and Jerry return, everyone stares at them silently. Carly takes Bobbie back outside and Jax brings Jerry into the lobby. We don't hear Carly telling Bobbie what happened, but we pick up when she is telling Bobbie that she has to get out of there. Bobbie says she's not leaving. Jax has trouble holding back his laughter as he tries to explain to a mystified Jerry what everyone just saw.

Alan advises Tammy to call the police about the abandoned baby. Later, Tammy seems to toy with the idea of raising the child herself until Alan reminds her of the disadvantages.

Bobbie goes backstage to get ready for her performance. Others feel awkward and don't know how to react to her. Felicia gives her a big hug and breaks the ice.

The next musical number is "Jump, Jive and Wail". Performing are Tony, Mac, Felicia, Bobbie, Mike, Eve and Chris along with about eight dancers. The crowd gets a big kick out of this number and I must admit that I did also. They all looked like they were having a lot of fun and it was a kick to see Bobbie dancing again. Jerry was worried at the beginning about where Bobbie had gone, but when he saw her onstage, a big grin took over his face. Later, he teases Bobbie about getting a copy of the tape.

Jason lets Sonny and Hannah know they should use the service entrance to leave.

Mac, Kevin and Taggert place bets on whether Lucy will end up in her undies. Felicia scolds them.

After Kevin and Mac tell each other how much they miss Robin, Emily and Ned sing "Forever Young" while we see quilts of many AIDS victims. Jason looks sad and pensive during their song. Ned encourages the audience to join them and they all sing along. It was a sweet, sad number and I must add that I thought Ned and Emily's voices blended very nicely.

Backstage again: Juan tells Emily that she has a great voice. He asks who the guy is at her table who gave him a big tip. He forgot to thank him. Emily tells him that is Sonny and that he'll probably see him later because he'll leave through the kitchen. Katherine, carrying costumes, tells Eve that she made the switch.

Outside, Carly is humiliated and crying. Jason tries to comfort her. When he hears AJ calling Carly's name, he hides. AJ takes Carly back to the Ball.

Lucy is in her costume getting ready to do "One." Once she is onstage, she realizes the others are in a different costume. They are in can-can costumes and doing a song from "La Cage Aux Folles." She runs offstage where Katherine and Eve "help" her get out of one costume and into another. Of course, when she is half-naked, the chorus line pulls her back onto the stage and the audience cheers for the annual showing of Lucy in her underwear. Sonny and Hannah get up to leave and Juan watches them.

Since Lucy isn't dressed yet, Katherine goes onstage to say goodnight to all. Lucy objects but after she hears Katherine speak tenderly about young AIDS patients, she softens. Alan, with Baby Christina in tow, also hears and looks concerned.

Carly is relieved that Amanda spoke to her after the tape was shown.

When Emily tells Jason that she told someone how Sonny was leaving through the kitchen, Jason goes running off. Sonny and Hannah are walking through the kitchen, talking and laughing, unaware that they are being followed by Juan. Jason charges through a door and attacks Juan. Juan asks what he's doing and says "my business is with him," indicating Sonny. Sonny notices the necklace Juan is wearing. Sonny says it belonged to his wife and asks how Juan got it. Juan answers "you gave it to me."
