General Hospital Update for Friday, 17-Nov-2000

LUCKY HEARS A CRASH IN LIZ'S ROOM. HE GOES NEXT DOOR AND THIS TIME SHE IS THE ONE WRAPPED IN A TOWEL. LIZ TELLS LUCKY THAT SHE KNOCKED A LAMP OFF THE TABLE WITH THE CORD TO HER HAIR DRYER AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THE SEXUAL TENSION IS SO THICK IT CAN BE CUT WITH A KNIFE. LIZ THANKS LUCKY FOR BEING CONCERNED AND CLOSES THE DOOR. THEY BOTH STAND STILL ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE DOOR IN A DAZE FOR A FEW SECONDS.

HANNAH AND TAGGERT ARRIVE AT HIS PLACE, ARMS LOADED WITH GROCERIES. THEY TURN BAKING BREAD INTO SEXUAL FOREPLAY AND HANNAH USES HER FEMININE WILES TO RECRUIT TAGGERT'S HELP IN THE 2-3 DAY PROCESS OF BAKING "HANNAH'S HOLIDAY SPICE BREAD" FROM SCRATCH. (ONLY ON A SOAP CAN BAKING HOMEMADE BREAD BE SO EROTIC…….)

ALEXIS GOES TO SEE ZANDER. SHE TELLS HIM THAT DARA CALLED TO INFORM HER OF HIS DECISION NOT TO TESTIFY AGAINST SOREL. ALEXIS TELLS HIM THAT IF HE KEEPS PLAYING GAMES LIKE THIS THAT THE DEAL WILL BE PULLED FROM THE TABLE AND HE WILL HAVE NO BARGAINING POWER. THEN, IF HE IS CONVICTED HE WILL GET THE DEATH PENALTY. ZANDER TELLS ALEXIS THAT HE IS DEAD EITHER WAY BUT THAT HE WILL NOT GET EMILY KILLED IN THE PROCESS. ALEXIS TELLS ZANDER THAT SOREL IS BLUFFING. SOREL WOULD NEVER HURT JASON MORGAN'S LITTLE SISTER FOR ANY REASON. ZANDER IS STILL NOT CONVINCED SO ALEXIS TELLS HIM THAT HE HAD BETTER GET ANOTHER ATTORNEY AND GETS UP TO LEAVE. ZANDER THANKS ALEXIS FOR ALL SHE HAS DONE. ALEXIS TURNS AROUND, LOOKS ZANDER IN THE EYES, AND SAYS, "SEE, YOU CALLED MY BLUFF! WHY CAN'T YOU DO THAT WITH SOREL? GIVE ME SOMETHING THAT I CAN WORK WITH." ZANDER REPLIES BY WISHING ALEXIS WELL WITH HER WEDDING AND ALL. ALEXIS TELLS ZANDER TO THINK ABOUT IT AND LEAVES.

CARLY IS WRAPPING HER SHOWER GIFT FOR ALEXIS. IT IS A "TEDDY" AND SONNY ASKS CARLY IF THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR "EDDIE'S ANGEL". CARLY TELLS HIM THAT IT IS A TRADITION FOR THE MATRON OF HONOR TO GIVE LINGERIE TO THE BRIDE TO BE. CARLY ASKS SONNY WHEN HE IS GOING TO START TREATING HER LIKE HIS WIFE AGAIN BECAUSE THE "POLITE STRANGER" ROUTINE IS GETTING OLD. SONNY REMINDS CARLY THAT SHE WENT BEHIND HIS BACK TO HELP MIKE AND HE DOESN'T LIKE IT. AS SONNY LEAVES THE PENTHOUSE CARLY REMINDS HIM THAT MIKE IS HIS FATHER AND THEY NEED EACH OTHER. SONNY SAYS, "HAVE A NICE TIME AT THE SHOWER!" AND CLOSES THE DOOR BEHIND HIM.

AS CARLY IS GOING THROUGH HER CHECKLIST FOR THE BRIDAL SHOWER LAURA SHOWS UP TO SEE SONNY. CARLY INVITES HER TO THE SHOWER. LAURA TELLS CARLY THAT SHE AND ALEXIS ARE NOT REALLY FRIENDS AND HAVE A COMPLICATED AND UNPLEASANT PAST. CARLY INFORMS LAURA ABOUT THE STRAINED RELATIONSHIP SHE ALSO HAS WITH ALEXIS AND THAT THE SHOWER IS ONLY BEING GIVEN AT SONNY'S REQUEST. (LOOKS LIKE LAURA AND CARLY SHARE A COMMON BOND AFTER ALL!). CARLY ALSO TELLS LAURA THAT SHE HASN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TELL SONNY ABOUT HER DECISION TO NOT BE INVOLVED AS A CONDITION OF HIS INVESTING. LAURA ASKS CARLY TO HOLD OFF ON TALKING TO SONNY ABOUT DECEPTION AND THE CONDITIONS FOR NOW. CARLY AGREES AND RE-INVITES LAURA TO STAY FOR THE SHOWER. CARLY AND LAURA DISCUSS THE SHOWER AGAIN AND THEIR MUTUAL LOVE FOR ALEXIS. THEY END UP LAUGHING TOGETHER BEFORE LAURA LEAVES. (COULD THIS BE THE BEGINNING OF A REAL FRIENDSHIP FOR CARLY?)

FELICIA AND MAC AGREE THAT MAXIE NEEDS FOR THEM TO BE PARENTS TO HER AND AGREE TO BOTH BE THERE FOR HER IF AND WHEN SHE NEEDS THEM. MAC AGREES TO COME TO BOBBIE'S WITH FELICIA AND THE GIRLS FOR THANKSGIVING. FELICIA THEN INVITES MAC TO SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH THEM. HE AGREES AND SAYS THAT IT IS HIS TURN TO PICK OUT THE TREE THIS YEAR!

SONNY GOES TO SEE ZANDER. AT FIRST SONNY IS UPSET WITH HIM FOR DRAGGING SONNY INTO THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THIS. ZANDER'S ONLY CONCERN AND WHAT HE ASKS SONNY IS, " ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU CAN KEEP EMILY ALIVE? ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE THAT SOREL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO HER?" SONNY TELLS ZANDER THAT EMILY IS COMPLETELY SAFE UNDER HIS PROTECTION AND SOREL CAN'T TOUCH HER. HE ALSO TELLS ZANDER THAT HE IS GIVING SOREL WAY TOO MUCH CREDIT. SONNY EXPLAINS TO ZANDER THAT SOREL IS AN IDIOT AND NOT VERY BRIGHT FOR KILLING A COP AND LEAVING ZANDER ALIVE AS A WITNESS IN THE FIRST PLACE! SONNY THEN SAYS, "IF YOU'RE CONVICTED OF KILLING A COP, THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL "TAKE YOU OUT! NO QUESTIONS ASKED! SO WHY GO DOWN EASY, WHY NOT FIGHT SOREL AND THE SYSTEM AT THE SAME TIME? ALEXIS DAVIS IS THE BEST ATTORNEY IN THE BUSINESS. SO, ARE YOU GOING TO ROLL OVER OR MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO KILL?" ZANDER ASKS SONNY IF HE WERE IN HIS PLACE, WOULD HE TESTIFY? SONNY SAYS "YES". LATER, AFTER THE SHOWER EMILY GOES TO SEE ZANDER. ZANDER TELLS EMILY THAT HE IS GOING TO TESTIFY AGAINST SOREL. EMILY IS THRILLED AND KISSES ZANDER.

AT THE SHOWER, MONICA ASKS ALEXIS HOW CARLY MANAGED TO WEASEL HER WAY INTO BEING MAID OF HONOR. ALEXIS TELLS HER THAT CARLY WAS SIMPLY IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME. MONICA THEN WARNS ALEXIS TO WATCH HER BACK.
GIA TELLS ELIZABETH THAT SHE CAN'T BELIEVE CARLY CORINTHOS HAD THE PARTY CATERED BY KELLY'S WHEN SHE COULD OBVIOUSLY AFFORD THE GRILL. LIZ DEFENDS TAMMY AND KELLY'S TO GIA, WHICH INCREASES THE TENSION BETWEEN THEM. LATER, CARLY OVERHEARS LIZ SAYING TO EMILY THAT AT LEAST CARLY ISN'T EMILY'S SISTER-IN-LAW ANYMORE. CARLY THEN TELLS LIZ THAT SHE AND SONNY ARE VERY HAPPILY MARRIED SO NEXT TIME SHE NEEDS A SHOULDER TO CRY ON WHEN LUCKY DUMPS HER AGAIN, SONNY'S ISN'T AVAILABLE. ELIZABETH CANNOT BELIEVE THE NERVE OF CARLY, BUT GIA POINTS OUT TO LIZ THAT LIZ DID START IT! THEN GIA GOES OVER TO WHERE CARLY IS AND GIA TELLS CARLY THAT SHE THROWS A GREAT PARTY AND THANKS HER FOR INVITING HER. CARLY IS PLEASED WITH THE COMPLIMENT. (WHAT A PAIR THESE TWO WOULD MAKE!)

LAURA TELLS SONNY THAT SHE AGREES TO HIS TERMS AND WILL WORK WITH CARLY AS LONG AS ALL OF THE MONEY IS LEGITIMATE. SONNY IS OBVIOUSLY SURPRISED AT LAURA'S CHANGE OF HEART REGARDING CARLY BUT IS HAPPY AT HER DECISION AND PROMISES ALL MONEY WILL BE LEGITIMATE.

FELICIA GOES BACK TO KELLY'S TO GET HER CELL PHONE AND RUNS IN TO LUKE. THEY JOKE ABOUT HIS COOKING AND THEN DISCUSS THE HELENA CAPER AND HE RUNS SOME OF HIS ACCENTS AND CHARACTERS BY FELICIA. AS THEY ARE OUT FRONT AT THE COUNTER LAUGHING, A FIRE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN!
