General Hospital Update for Monday, 2-Aug-1999

Juan tries to convince Emily to run away from home with him. She is tempted, but comes to her senses. She thanks him for inviting her along but she can't run away. Then, a little kiss. (They would be a cute couple if I liked Juan.)

Aunt Gertrude proceeds to read the letter Ned wrote to Alexis. Just when it appears their plan will be exposed, Jax tells Gert that he knows about the letter and if she had the rest of the letter she wouldn't have jumped to conclusions. The long and the short of it is Ned wrote to thank Alexis for helping him to find love again. But the love he found was with Chloe, not Alexis. So basically it was a good-bye letter. The rest of the wedding went off without a hitch, although Alexis looked ready to burst into tears. During the reception, Aunt Gertrude announces her surprise for the newlyweds -- a stay at her spa in Bora Bora. Chloe politely informs her that she has work to do and they will be honeymooning in Rome.

Carly helps Sonny tend to his wounded hand. He keeps repeating "I did it". Carly asks what he is talking about. It was a reference to the deaths of Lily and the baby. Sonny told her every detail of the night Lily died, though he didn't mention that the reason he wasn't driving was because he had been drinking. He told Carly how beautiful Lily was, what she was wearing, how he finally realized that he loved this woman who adored him.
Later, Carly told Sonny that she always thought he was a cold, empty shell of a person but now she knew why and understood. They shared a very tender, though not romantic, moment which Jason walked in on. This was one of the best stories I've seen. It was wonderful to see Sonny and Carly like this. She understands him better and maybe he will understand her a little better, too.

Felicia and Mac made romantic dinner plans at home. As Felicia was walking home with the groceries, there was a man in her path. When he turned and she saw it was Cesar Faison, she dropped her groceries.

After the wedding ended and the guests were gone, Chloe returned to the gazebo to get her shoes. Why they weren't on her feet, I'll never know. But, it turns out Jax had been keeping them for her. Jax reminded Chloe that he didn't get to kiss the bride. After an extremely romantic kiss that left me wishing I were the bride, Chloe took her shoes.
