Daily Updates

General Hospital Update for Friday, 18-May-2001

AT THE PENTHOUSE:
As Alexis prepares to enter the elevator, she looks over and notices that there is no guard at Sonny's door, Sonny's WIDE OPEN door. Inside she notices the broken mirror. She comments that she heard Carly pounding at the door the night before, and asks if he let her in. Sonny asks her if she has changed her mind and wants to be his attorney again. Mike arrives and also asks about the mirror. Before he gets an answer, Agent Ford and Taggart walk in (through the still open door) and demand to know what Sonny has done to their witness. Seems the witness (bomber), is stating that Sonny had nothing to do with his kidnapping. Obviously this means they have no case against Sonny. Sonny asks them to leave or he will have HIS attorney file harassment charges against them. Before he leaves, Taggart asks where Mrs. Corintos is. He obviously knows Carly is missing. After they leave Mike also asks where Carly is, but Sonny just asks him to leave. As Mike and Alexis leave, Sonny asks them to leave the door open. Outside Alexis fills Mike in on what she knows - Carly set Sonny up, he found out and threw her out, Michael too! Inside Sonny sits alone on the couch, suddenly he spots something wedged between the cushions, it is an earring.

AT THE BOXCAR:
Liz finds Lucky at the boxcar. She tells him that both she and Nik are worried about him. She also asks if Helena still has some kind of hold over him. Lucky denies it again. He gives Liz believable explanations for all his "strange" behavior. Then he gives her the ring Helena gave him. At first Liz declines, it is too expensive, she says. After accepting it she hold her hand up to the light to admire it. This causes a reaction in Lucky. He quickly steps up next to her, tells her not to do that, and pulls her hand down. (Sorry I missed the why not explanation). Lucky informs Liz he has already told his parents about engagement. They happily plan a family celebration dinner.


AT GH:
Luke is asleep on a chair in a waiting room. He is having that dream again.
He is walking through dimly lit corridors, calling for Lucky. A pair of female hands reaches for him, and a female voice calls to him that she will save them. As he reaches for her hands, she disappears. He cries out, "No don't leave!"
Bobbie awakens him, with the good new s that Lucas is out of the coma. In fact it is as if nothing was ever wrong with Lucas to begin with. Lucas' room looks like Grand Central Station when they arrive. Laura, Tony, Roy and Felicia are there. When Luke asks what made him better, Tony lies and says that the virus just "ran it's course", but Bobbie comments on the serum that Tony gave Lucas. Luke follows Tony and questions him again about Helena. Tony denies her involvement, but Luke says he knows Tony is lying to him. Laura overhears, and asks Luke if he really believes Helena was responsible. She also asks if he has made any progress with the disks. He hasn't had time to work on them recently, Luke explains. He thanks her again for her help. He knows now how hard it is on her to think about her days on the Cassadine Island, and apologizes again for not understanding before.

Bobbie wants Felicia to call Carly and tell her Lucas is better. Roy volunteers for the task, he doesn't want anyone else to know Carly is missing. Outside Lucas' room, Mac tells Roy he has had no luck finding Carly. Felicia overhears and offers to help search for her. Roy decides not to tell Bobbie Carly is missing just yet. She has had a hard time with Lucas' illness and doesn't want to worry her again, he explains. When he returns to Bobbie's side she thanks him for being generally wonderful, and promises she will be wonderful back. Roy leaves to run some errands. Before he can get out of the hospital, Ford and Taggart track him down. They explain about the witness. If they are going to have a case, they need the informant's name. Roy refuses point blank, even after Ford threatens with having Hannah assigned to permanent desk duty, in ALASKA!

AT THE SECRET LAB (30 floors under GH):
Helena assures (a frozen) Stavros that soon he will be by her side again. When Tony arrives, she informs him that as she has completed her end of the deal, now it is his turn. Tony is not sure this will work, and tells her so. She explains that she has detailed instructions, on the disks. All he has to do is enter the passwords and follow the directions. She then hands him the disks and a list of passwords. (Sorry I couldn't catch them all). Tony enters the first password "Pandora" and actives the first phase. At first nothing happens, and Helena reminds Tony of the dire consequences his failure will bring. Suddenly, one of the machines starts to beep. Stavros is responding, he is ALIVE! We are treated to the rare sight of a giddy Helena, who drapes herself over the frozen case and practically weeps with joy.

AT THE PENTHOUSE:
Bobbie arrives to gives Carly the good news (and walks through the still unattended open door). She realizes immediately that something is wrong and asks for Carly. Sonny tells her to ask ROY!

AT LUKE"S OFFICE:
Luke works on entering the words Laura gave him (about fifth on the list is Pandora). He has no luck with the first few, but then gets a response with Pandora. Unfortunately, the word it brings up is in Greek. He goes to the dictionary and is looking up the word when Lucky enters. They are having a pleasant conversation as Luke tries to inconspicuously close the laptop. When Lucky questions what he is hiding, Luke jokes that it is a love letter to (jazz great) Ella Fitzgerald. At Lucky's insistence, Luke steps back and lets Lucky see the screen. As he watches Lucky's eyes glaze over, then Lucky picks up a heavy statuette and smashes it down repeatedly on Luke's brand new lap top!

Tune in Monday and see (or read) as:
Monica packs Allan's bags.
Sonny tells Bobbie "Carly's as good as dead".
Luke hits Lucky.
