General Hospital Update for Monday, 20-Dec-1999

Most of the main GH characters were on today's show: Faison and Luke argued about Felicia, Hannah and Sonny argued about Jason, Liz and Audrey argued about Jason, Monica and Alan argued about Carly, and Mike realized what he's about to get himself into with Gertrude.

Jason left the studio when Audrey began arguing with Liz. Liz asked him not to leave. Audrey expressed her "deep disappointment" over Liz's choices and reminded her that she pays part of the rent on the studio. Liz said she's moving into the studio and no longer wants financial help from Audrey. Jason later returned to tell Liz that it was time for him to leave. "I'm a complication you don't need," he told her. She disagreed. After making another bowl of soup for Jason's dinner, Liz announced that she now lives at the studio, having declared her independence.

Meanwhile, Carly wasted her time trying to get Sonny to reach out to Jason on her behalf. No matter how she worded it, Sonny always saw through her ploy. She tried to convince Sonny that Jason was helpless without their aid. He told her Liz was taking good care of Jason. In the end, Sonny told Carly that he would rather lose Jason for good than do anything that might help her get Jason back. He repeated that Jason needs to "wash his hands" of Carly.

Because of her argument with Sonny at the penthouse, Carly was late for dinner with AJ and the other Qs at the PC Grille. Monica used Carly's late arrival as an excuse to snipe at her, which upset Alan. Edward criticized AJ's performance as CEO of ELQ again. Carly arrived when everyone else was done eating. She claimed to have been shopping for Michael's Christmas presents. She and AJ remained so that she could have dinner. He ordered her fish stew. For the first time, she told AJ what she really thinks of fish. After telling AJ that he's slow for not figuring out sooner that she hates fish, Carly yelled at a waiter to get her a cheeseburger and fries.

In another part of the Grille, Chloe "rehearsed" with Mike for an eventual dinner date with Gertrude. Mike began the evening by expressing his new reservations about the arrangement. After the rehearsal dinner with Chloe, however, he said he felt better about the deal and will do it for $1,000 per date. Alexis, Ned, and Jax, all of whom observed, and felt free to comment on, the rehearsal, were relieved to hear Mike's agreement. Just then Gertrude walked in. Mike turned on his charm and intrigued Gertrude. After Gertrude left, Mike announced that his price had just increased significantly! Jax then told Ned to give Mike whatever he wanted.

Sonny was on the docks on his way over to see Jason but ran into Liz, who was returning to the studio with Jason's soup. Liz reassured Sonny that Jason is fine. Sonny turned around to leave--guess who popped out of the shadows? Yes, Hannah. She then began a long plea for Sonny's mercy. She claimed to still love him. Despite all of Hannah's loving words, Sonny coldly rejected her.
He said he didn't care about any aspect of her life, including whether she lives or dies.

Finally, Faison enjoyed taunting Luke and Felicia while holding them at gunpoint. He forced Luke to tell Felicia that he loves her. He made Luke redo it so that it seemed more realistic. He left, Felicia began to lose it, and Luke did his best to reassure her that they'd be fine. A visible gas then began to enter the room. The show's last scene was of Luke and Felicia lying together, looking terrified, mentioning that this just might be the end.
