General Hospital Update for Thursday, 3-May-2001

Luke has brought Felicia to the hospital rooftop for their private conversation, in which she tells him that she wants more from their relationship. Luke is confused, not sure he understands. Finally, Felicia spells it out for him--L-O-V-E--she loves him, wants to be with him and wants him to love her, too. Unfortunately for Felicia, Luke responds that, although he likes her, he thinks he’s void of feelings and doesn’t think he can love anyone anymore, and even if he could, he’s too wrapped up in the Cassidine wars to give her what she needs. Felicia is hurt, but thanks Luke for his honesty.

Meanwhile, down in Stefan’s office, Niklas drops off his signed papers, eliminating himself as a Cassidine heir. Stefan is not happy, but claims he is angrier with himself than Niklas. A weepy tale of how Stefan knew it was his destiny to care for Niklas after his father died and his mother left ensues. Stefan tells Niklas he is proud of him for being courageous and acting on his convictions, leading Niklas to suggest that Stefan leave the Cassidines behind, also, but Stefan claims the war is not over, he cannot leave. Stefan also warns Niklas that Lucky is Helena’s latest target. A claim that Lucky later denies.

Elsewhere in the hospital, Lucas gets some visitors. Lucky & Liz bring a video game. Nurse Bobbie tells everyone how stumped she is about her son’s illness; “It’s like the flu, but it’s not,” explains the good nurse. Throughout the day, Niklas, Felicia and Mac all stop by to show concern.

Carly, however, while in the hospital, has other things on her mind than her little brother or mother. Her latest harebrained idea involves getting Sonny arrested by the FBI, at which point he will make a deal with them, providing information about organized crime and leading them to join the witness protection program. Carly tries to convince Roy that this is her only option to get Sonny away from the business. Recognizing a bad idea when he hears one, Roy tries to change Carly’s mind, informing her that Sonny would never snitch on others and reminding her that Sonny would never forgive her if he heard of this plan. Crazy Carly sees no other way to live happily ever after with the man she loves. She is even convinced Sonny would forgive her if he found out the plan. Roy hesitates to help, but finally agrees and shakes hands on the deal. Later, he goes to the FBI asking for a favor.

Meanwhile, in the only action not taking place in the hospital, Taggert and his posse burst into Sonny’s penthouse threatening to arrest him for obstruction of justice. Seems an “anonymous tip” informed the cops about the bomb. The cops search the penthouse to no avail, while Taggert gives Sonny a hard time, asking him if he wants to lose another wife & child to a bomb. Sonny tells him to mind his own business but Taggert continues to give him a hard time, when Mike shows up and gives Sonny a different kind of hard time. Mike tells Sonny he would be a great father and he should try to have another child.
