General Hospital Update for Monday, 17-Sep-2001

Regular programming resumed today on ABC. There do not appear to be any episodes skipped at this point. We pick up where we left off on Monday 9/10/01.

GH:
Roy tells Bobbie that he thinks Luke may have found Helena's secret lab. It could be why he was acting strange and the reason he is missing. They then question Tony about his knowledge of Helena's actions. Tony does not deny knowledge, but neither is he forth coming with information, he does tell them to let it go. When they accuse him of knowing what is going on and doing nothing, he tells them he is doing what he can. Roy tells Tony that if he will not help find Luke then Roy will go around him. Tony tells Roy "If you find Luke, bring him to me. I might be able to help him." After Roy leaves, Bobbie demands answers from Tony. She knows that Helena had something to do with Lucas' illness, and figures out Tony is working on an antidote for whatever Helena gave Luke. She realizes that Helena is using Lucas to blackmail Tony. He promises her that he will keep their son safe.

THE DOCKS:
Nik appears to be back to his old self as he tells Gia how sad he feels about Chloe's death, and the rifts between himself and Stephan and Lucky. Gia is especially happy to hear him say he hopes they can find way back to each other. They kiss passionately after Nik apologizes for hurting her. Gia tells Nik she missed him and couldn't stop thinking about him the whole time. She says she is not afraid of Helena as long as they are together. This seems to trigger something in Nik and suddenly Gia is faced with PRINCE Nikolas, who seems to be only interest in going back to her hotel room for …(well you know). Gia is angry enough to call Lucien and accept his dinner invitation in front of Nik. Before she leaves Gia tells Nik he is out of her life FOR GOOD! As Gia storms off, the reason for Nik's sudden change is known. It's Roy, who assures Nik that he understands what is going on with Gia, because Luke filled him in on their plan. He also tells Nik that it is no longer just about Lucky, Helena is up to something else. Roy asks Nik to see if he can find Helena's secret lab.

THE SPENCER HOUSE:
Scott escorts Laura inside, but it is obvious she does not really want him to stay. He thinks she is still mad about his not telling her about the auction. She assures him they are past that, but she is very worried about Luke, and since Scott hates him she doesn't want to bother him. They hear a noise upstairs and rush up to see what it is. It is only Lucky telling (the new very cute) Lulu a bedtime story. He is telling her about a prince who had a magic potion that he used to kill the monster. Laura realizes that it IS more than just a story. Out in the hall she asks him what happened to the monster? Yesterday he told her the monster was real and after them, now he is telling Lulu the monster is dead. Lucky will only say he sent the monster back to hell, then walks away. Scott tells Laura he can help Lucky, but he needs to know everything. Laura agrees to tell him. When they question Lucky again, he refuses to say anything about the monster or the lab. Laura asks him to move in for a few weeks, she is worried about Leslie, Lulu and herself being alone, because there have been some break-ins in the neighborhood. Lucky agrees and goes off to make arrangements to move his things. Laura admits to Scott that she afraid Lucky was referring to Luke when he talked about the monster. Scott assures Laura that Luke is too smart and too mean to let Helena beat him. He offers to look for Luke.

THE FUNERAL HOME:
Carly angrily accuses AJ of trying to set her up; she even physically attacks him. After pulling her off, Monica and Edward harass her and encourage her to confess until Alan tells them to stop. He shouts that she didn't kill Sorrel, because he…(Mac listens intently through the bug)…doesn't think this is the proper place. Chloe wouldn't want to remember them like this. Edward turns on the charm and invites Carly back into the Q house. She plays along for a few minutes seeming to agree, then blasts them all for being hypocrites (after accusing Edward of sexually coming on the her the last time). AJ drags her out of the room and demands to see Michael when Carly tells him Michael is now home. AJ makes Carly and offer, if she will agree to joint custody, he will confess to the police he lied about seeing her outside Sorrel's room the night he was murdered. AJ tells her she has a choice between agreeing with him or going to jail or maybe even a mental hospital. Carly tells AJ " Lets see what Sonny has to say about that". She then heads out to see Sonny.

SONNY'S OFFICE:
Taggart questions Angel about what she knows and saw Carly do. Angel and Sonny realize that the funeral parlor was bugged. When Sonny protests that any evidence gathered was illegal, Angel surprises them by saying she will tell them both what Carly did. (Don't you just hate it when a commercial interrupts these scenes? Well image one here) Angel tells Taggart that Carly hit her car in the parking lot and did $1200 worth of damage. When Taggart asks what the big deal is about that, Angel responds "She was driving without a license, that is illegal". An angry Taggart realizes he is not going to get any answers, at least not the ones he really wants to hear, and storms out slamming the door. Alone again, Sonny asks Angel if she knows something that could hurt Carly and why she didn't tell Taggart. From her comments he realizes that Carly was the person who broke into Angel's house. When he questions her again as to why, after all Carly has done to her, Angel didn't tell the police what she knows, Angel responds that even though Carly might deserve it, it would hurt Sonny too and Angel would never hurt Sonny like that. Angel admits that she did go to the hospital the night her father died. She hated him, Angel tells Sonny, and so can't really blame ANYONE one for what they may have done. (They are standing closely together and appear to be about to embrace, when the door is opened by Carly.)

THE FUNERAL HOME:
Taggart reports back to Mac that his questioning of Angel was a bust. He also tells Mac that he wouldn't be surprised to find out ANGEL killed her father. Mac tells Taggart to take another look at the prints on the picture of Michael and compare them to Alan's. He wants to take a closer look at all the medical procedures and medications Sorrel might have had the night he was killed. Maybe, Mac tells Taggart, Sorrel wasn't killed when the plug on the respirator was pulled after all!
