General Hospital Update for Monday, 1-Oct-2001

Whodunit?! Whocares?!
OK – this is really getting lame. Mac is questioning the GH gang at the hospital – again. Mac, I like you, but you’re getting hit with some of the most banal dialog I’ve ever heard. I could at least feel sorry for you when Felicia was lusting after Luke, but baby, you are just sad. Of course everyone is rather stingy about giving up any information and pretty much backs up everyone else’s reasons for having been in or around Sorrel the Stiff’s room at check out time. Mac leaves Monica, Alan, Bobbie and Melissa with a truly heartfelt reminder that if they have anything they want to discuss, they can always come to him… puhhhleeezzee.

“Do the Hustle”
I was so ready for Richard Simmons to dance through! Lucky relays Luke’s blast from the past to Roy. Makes sense to me, he says. He takes Lucky to a seedy part of town where they used to stash stuff for the late great Frank Smith (if they defrost him, I’m outta here!) Scrawled on the wall is a coffin like the one they found in the cave. Lucky and Roy check out the scuzzy bar nearby in hopes of finding Luke under a table inside. Roy slips the bartender some cash in exchange for any info on Luke. Apparently biotoxin doesn’t hamper Luke’s ability to get some play – the bartender threw him out when his skank of a girlfriend wasn’t immediately repulsed by his behavior. Go figure.

“Mommy Dearest”
The Stavroscicle informs Psycho Granny that Gia Campbell overheard every word of her directive to Nikolas. He must be his father’s son if he’s willing to commit murder for the sake of family – or money and power… you decide. Helena actually looks a little disturbed that Gia may have the ability to upset her little applecart. Stavros throws a little jab at Mummy telling her “ you must be losing your touch”. Ouch – you always hurt the one you love. Meanwhile, Helena’s hottie henchmen are chasing Luke – but they aren’t as cute as Andreas, so I fast-forwarded – sorry.

“Love the One You’re With”
Gia stops by Elizabeth’s studio, just a little girl talk y’know. Never mind that these four played spin the bottle with each other’s boyfriends. Elizabeth is uncharacteristically snotty while Gia makes an attempt at being truly pleasant. You gotta give the girl credit for having her heart in the right place. She tries to subtly (NOT) warn Elizabeth that Nik may not be exactly who she thinks he is. She even goes so far as to apologize for her past not-so-nice behavior and in an effort to glom onto Elizabeth’s good girl vibe, invites her to go shopping!!! Hey, I can dig it – shopping is a good offense against getting killed by your psuedo-boyfriend! Sensing that her clumsy efforts are all for nothing, Gia lays it on the line and tells Liz “I want you to stay away from Nikolas” – there, I said it – now what? Nikolas comes in and tells the girls he’s taking Liz away for the weekend, Gia figures it’s now or never and throws herself in front of Liz. Awwwwww

Mommy Dearest Part II
Over at Laura’s, Scotty manhandles Nikolas whom he found creeping around outside. Nik starts in on his mom, “she’s only wanted me when it was convenient….” Wah wah, wah, - stop the overacting Nik, it’s embarrassing. Eventually Laura gets rid of Scotty and mother and son can talk about what’s really important – killing Liz. Laura’s terrified that Nikolas may also have found out that his Daddy’s out of the deep freeze, but she covers – kind of.

Three’s Company
Over at the gatehouse (jeez, who HASN'T lived here?) Ned and Kristina get about 30 seconds of airtime before Alexis drops in. Alexis is looking for Jax (hubba hubba) but is very surprised that he left Kristina in Ned’s care. Well, he had to find someplace decent; you knew the Angel thing wasn’t going to work out. Anyway, Ned is still trying to find out what the connection is between the two women. Nedley, you’re almost as clueless as Mac… catch up! Alexis tells him that she’s a material witness in an old case she’s handling. Ned excuses himself (to smell the coffee perhaps?) and Kristina asks big sis why she didn’t tell Ned the truth. The ultra-professional legal eagle replies, “ I dunno."


“Killing me Softly”
Nikolas and his mother discuss the possibility of faking Liz’s death – “If I kill Elizabeth for her, she’s got to tell me what her plans for Lucky are” Laura’s torn, but there may just be a way… hmmmm. Scotty comes back in and decides he’s going to hang around, what with the noises, shadows, flowers, etc that are weirding out Laura, he’ll feel much better. Yeah, I bet – hope that sofa’s real comfy Scott, because you ain’t gonna see the satin sheets in Laura’s room for a while!

“Like Father, Like Son”
OK, Lucky was always eye candy, but today he showed a little naughty side that was strangely exciting in the way only Luke has been. He plays a little game with the bartender’s gal pal (who incidentally looks like a reject from the Jerry Springer show) and she tips him off to Luke’s creepy suggestion of doing it in the cemetery – ick. Lucky and Roy race off, but not before they deck some locals – with Melissa’s help of course. They end up at the cemetery where the Casadines store their dead (or not so dead, depending) – after going inside, Lucky shines the light into the broken box and jumps back – Luke’s inside!
