General Hospital Update for Tuesday, 22-May-2001

At the Deception Offices...

Laura finds Helena in her office, threatening her with a letter opener, claiming Laura will pay for the damage done to her yacht. Sonny arrives just as Laura starts to look frightened. Laura warns Helena to stay away from her children and reminds her, “The past is dead and buried, just like Stavros.” Uh, maybe not, Laura dear. Anyway, after some deriding comments to Sonny, Helena leaves, picking up a lovely Deception sample tote on her way out. She has a lot of places to visit today, anyway. Back in Laura’s office, Sonny gets to the point with Laura and hands her the remaining shares of Deception, claiming that under certain circumstances (betrayal, maybe?), Carly’s shares revert back to him and now he wants to give Laura full control of Deception. She doesn’t understand what could’ve happened between Carly & Sonny, but knows they love each other and makes sappy comments about how even short marriages are important and mean a lot to those involved. Conveniently, Scott has arrived and overhears these comments. Laura, at first, refuses to take the shares, but in the end, takes them and now controls Deception completely. She is thrilled, but feels a little guilty. Scott is thrilled for her and even more thrilled that the gangster is out of the picture.


At Nikolas’ house...

Gia & Nikolas express their love for each other and vow to not hurt each other. Smooch. Stefan shows up at about the same time that Lucky & Liz do and Nikolas sends his uncle off and warns Lucky not to start any trouble. Lucky says he doesn’t want to start trouble and apologizes for the fight with Stefan. Lucky insists once again that Helena is not controlling him; he blames Lucas’ illness for leaving him frustrated. Nikolas is not convinced but drops the topic. They start talking about Liz’ engagement ring. Nikolas notes it was not at the jewelry store but that it looks familiar to him. Lucky insists that cannot be so. The young foursome make plans to attend the engagement party, when Helena shows up with a gift for Nikolas, a picture of him and his daddy. She tells him he can never renounce the blood in his veins. Speaking of which, Helena then heads to the icebox to dote on her popsicle son.


At GH...

Fight time for Bobbie & Roy. Bobbie lets Roy have it; she can’t believe he destroyed her daughter’s life and also left her out of the loop. She snidely accuses Roy of getting revenge on Sonny by using her daughter. Roy tries to explain to Bobbie that Carly came to him after all the bomb threats and was desperate and the whole thing was her idea. He even turned her down at first. He also tells Bobbie he didn’t want to come to her with all these problems when she was in the midst of the Lucas mess. Roy says he stands by his decisions. Bobbie finally says she understands that he meant well, but tells him she wants him out of her life. In fact, she tells him to go be with Melissa. Roy explains that Melissa is to him what Tony is to her--a past love that has turned into a good friendship. Bobbie tells her that Melissa wants more than friendship. Who should show up then but Melissa? Bobbie makes a comment that makes Roy realize that Bobbie had set Melissa up to be reprimanded at the hospital. He can’t believe Bobbie would do such a thing. She says she doesn’t regret her decisions, either. Before storming off, she tells Melissa, “He’s all yours.”


Elsewhere, Stefan and Chloe run into each other. He wonders about her health, but she reassures him she is fine. He asks if they can talk, but she says no. However, we later see her catch up with him on the hospital roof (one of the more popular sets at GH these days) where he tells her he doesn’t want to be alone. She reminds him what a liar he is and how even if she wanted to believe he loved her, she would never trust him again after that faux kidnapping fiasco. (anyway, Jax will be home soon.)


Luke drops in on Melissa in the hospital lab, asking for info on the virus that infected Lucas. When Melissa doesn’t provide much help, Luke takes it upon himself to break into the quarantine cabinet and get the virus himself...but it’s disappeared!! A worried Melissa wonders what happened (is Bobbie messing with her again?!), but Tony arrives in time to reassure her that it’s no big deal. Luke doesn’t understand why Tony is acting so blasé about the virus that infected his son and reads Tony as being scared about something. Tony continues to deny, deny, deny, all of Luke’s claims and threats. When Tony leaves, Luke starts to follow him, but ends up getting knocked unconscious by someone with a crowbar behind a door. When next we see Luke, he is dangling off the edge of the hospital roof!!!!!!!
