General Hospital Update for Friday, 21-Jan-2000

Nik and Liz are on their way to the movies when Helena meets up with them and tells them it's so good to see Nikolas smiling. Stefan comes along and Helena is pulling out all the stops, pointing out that the charges against her for killing Katharine were dropped and that Stefan had once confessed to it. She tells Nikolas that his father doesn't want him with unsuitable women, but he probably won't kill two of his girlfriends in a row (meaning Ms. Webber). Helena leaves when Nikolas makes it clear he doesn't want to be around her or discuss anything with her. Stefan and Nikolas discuss what Helena might be planning and promise to tell each other what they find out.

Liz loses the bracelet Lucky gave her and Nikolas helps her find it. They talk a little more and then go to the movies.

Chloe comes for a dinner at the Grill with Ned wondering why he called her there. Ned tells her that they have to keep up appearances since she's been out in public so much with Jax. Jax joins them and Ned torments him with kissing and fawning all over Chloe. All Jax wants to do is be alone with Chloe which he makes very clear. When Chloe excuses herself to go call Milan, Ned and Jax discuss why they didn't marry the women they truly love. Ned was afraid of having his heart broken like it was with Lois. Jax's love with Chloe had to grow, and he was worried that everyone was watching to see who would replace Brenda. One thing he learned from Brenda's death is to not waste one moment of your life. Chloe comes back at this minute and asks if she missed anything.

Bobbie and Carly are discussing Jason's departure and how much Carly needed him. Bobbie tells her that she'll be there for Carly, but Carly tells her that she's probably not up for the job. She says she shouldn't have dumped all of her problems on Jason and she's going to solve her own problems. (You can see her mind working at this point.) She goes to take care of her 'baby' and plans to make A.J. think this baby is his since Jason is not there for her to tell that he is the father and she can't tell Sonny it's his. She finds A.J. in her room concerned about her and wanting a truce and her plan starts to take shape.

A.J. discusses with Edward how it's not about competition with Jason for him. He hopes now that Jason is gone his marriage with Carly will get better. He has been sober all this time with hardly any support and he wishes his grandfather would cheer for him sometimes. He wants a marriage like his grandparents, but got a marriage more like his parents. He actually tells Edward that he wants Carly and thinks Carly does on some level, too. A little later Carly and A.J. are looking at a picture of Michael and she starts her seduction and they go upstairs (will this girl sleep with anyone? I personally don't like the message this sends that you can sleep with people that you don't love (Sonny and A.J.) and it's OK as long as you have a purpose behind it.)

Mike comes over to ask Sonny where Jason is. Sonny tells him he's gone and that Jason ripped up the note that said how much Mike owed him. Mike keeps on and on asking for a cell phone number or something so that he can smooth things over for Sonny and Jason. Sonny keeps telling him it's not like that and he doesn't want to get upset etc. etc. He leaves and asks Mike to lock up.

Bobbie comes over to Sonny at the Grill and asks him if Roy is working for him. Sonny says he's the best employee he has and Bobbie is more specific about his 'side' business. She tells him that Roy already lost twenty years of his life and Sonny should cut him out if he's in and if he's not, don't cut him in. She reminds Sonny that he owes her for not reporting Jason's wound, which she was legally bound to do. She asks Sonny how many people's lives would have been different and probably better if they had never been around him and he says quite a few. (Everybody dump on Sonny why don't you. It's a little ironic that Bobbie is going to be the grandmother to Sonny's baby)

Roy is coming back from the island and U.S. Customs meets him on the way back. They open the briefcase and see all the money and start asking Roy to roll on Sonny, since Sonny doesn't care about him etc. Roy sticks to his story that he was on vacation and someone must have switched briefcases on him, he doesn't know anything about the money etc. etc. They squeeze him pretty hard but he doesn't break. Sonny calls him and asks him how's it going, Roy?

Next Week: Mac tells Laura that Faison kept Luke and Felicia locked up together. Laura looks shocked.

Stefan asks Andreas where is his mother off to and Andreas tells him he's loyal to Mrs. Cassadine and not him.

A.J. asks Carly if she's making herself do this. (duh, she hates you, man, don't you get it yet? I mean, he's only been threatening her for weeks with an insane asylum and now she wants him in her bed? GET REAL!!!!)

Sonny tells Roy he passed the test, Congratulations!!
