General Hospital Update for Tuesday, 14-Dec-1999

Changes were in the air today in Port Charles. Monica returned from her interminable conference in London, Felicia was moved, Luke was arrested, Hannah was given a new job, and Jerry was off to parts unknown.

Sonny arranged for Jerry’s departure. Before leaving, Jerry had an emotional good-bye scene at GH with Lucas and Bobbie. Tony didn’t even interfere! Jerry and Jax said farewell also. Pretty sad.

Luke returned to the boutique whose front window displayed the negligee Felicia was wearing in the video. He used his wily charms to get the salesgirl away from the computer so that he could look up the address where Faison had the garment delivered. At the show’s end, he arrived at the lair, only to find it deserted. Moments later Mac arrived, gun in hands. Mac demanded to know everything Luke had on Faison. When Luke insisted that he knew nothing about Faison, Mac ordered Taggert to arrest Luke.

Meanwhile, an angry (but apparently well-rested) Monica learned that Alan had started the preparations for his return as chief of staff at GH. It didn’t matter that she had actually wanted him to have the job back; she was furious no one consulted her about it. She arrived at the Q’s mansion to confront Alan about it just as Gertrude was praising Alan for his genius. Monica pulled the usual “It’s my house” business and kicked Gertrude out. Later Edward chastised AJ for blowing a deal, claiming that Ned wouldn’t have done it. AJ didn’t seem concerned.

A nervous Hannah was told to appear at the PCPD. She believed she was going to be arrested. Instead, to her and Larkin’s amazement, she was told she’s the new “liaison” between the PCPD and the FBI over organized crime in PC. Her boss warned her that contacting Sonny in any way will lead to her arrest. Taggert seemed quite happy over the new development. Larkin, who must once again work with Hannah but now share the blame if something goes wrong, didn't like it.

Finally, Stefan and Laura found out that the D.A.’s office doesn’t have enough evidence to charge them with the attempted murder of Helena since the blood tests were inconclusive about whether she had been poisoned. Laura told Stefan that she’s undecided about the future of their relationship.

The pier served as a backdrop for many characters’ big moments today: Jerry and Jax said good-bye there; Sonny twice came across Hannah there (but ignored her); a dejected Bobbie sat on the bench and watched the water after she knew Jerry had left – Roy came to her side to comfort her; and a consoling Alexis offered support to Jax there.
