General Hospital Update for Friday, 25-Feb-2000

Jacob Young debuted as Lucky today, although his on-screen time was kept to a minimum. We finally got to see his face during the show's last scene, as he peered outside the window of the room where Helena's holding him captive. Despite the fact it was dusk, Luke was able to see -- and recognize --his son.

The rest of show for Luke and Flea consisted of nothing more than their hiding behind shrubs near the house and speculating about possible escape attempts now that Lucky knows how close to Port Charles he is (or does he?).

Stefan was in full-control mode, yelling into his cell phone (yes, in the hospital, where cell phones aren't supposed to be used) with such intensity that Laura looked puzzled. He tried to allay her fears by telling her how happy he's going to make her.

Alexis left Roy at the police station after she believed he was going to be released. Mac held up his release, however, demanding to know information about Luke. Bobbie just happened to walk in at that moment and was able to convince Mac he was taking out his anger on Roy about Luke and Flea. A stoic Roy then departed with Bobbie; the pair talked about the old days later.

Carly ran into Sonny as he was arriving at GH to take his blood test for the paternity suit. He expressed genuine concern over her and the baby's health. It must have felt real to her, because she ended up at his penthouse door a while later. She tried to make him see how she's being pulled in a "zillion" directions over Michael and this new baby. She begged him to let it go so that she can keep her life with the Qs. He explained how important it is to him that he be a real father to this child. They end up bonding in a strange way, and he tells her to lie down while he goes to cook dinner for her. They were becoming closer over the salmon, and Carly told him she needs him to help her get out of the mansion with Michael. Before Sonny could even answer, Edward stormed in waving a paper, which he promptly handed to Sonny. It's a restraining order, a triumphant Edward announced. Sonny must now remain at least 50 feet away from Carly at all times.

The other big event of the day was Chloe's newfound ability to discern light from darkness. She and Jax went to see Tony about it and then went to the L & B office to share the news with Ned and Alexis. While the foursome were toasting Chloe with champagne, Chloe suddenly dropped her glass and grabbed her forehead. Are the bone chips from the skull fracture finally going to do her in? (Speaking of her skull fracture, it sure was the cleanest one I've ever seen.)

Liz and Laura chatted, Liz told Bobbie about her new job as Chloe's assistant, and Stefan plotted his team's move to retrieve Lucky and present him to Laura as a trophy.
