General Hospital Update for Wednesday, 2-Jan-2002

At the Port Charles Hotel...

Jax comes across Courtney trying to get into the restaurant, wanting to see Edward Quartermaine, but the maitre d’ won’t let her in. Jax once again decides to help a damsel in distress and tells the maitre d’ she is with him and, voila, she is allowed in.

Meanwhile, Edward has arrived with Melissa & Roy, which has caused a bit of an uproar among the Q family. Alan asks Edward to join the rest of the family but he refuses. Kristina looks on in amusement and amazement. Ned warns her this is only the warm-up.

In the bar, Alexis & Sonny talk to Zander & Carly. Carly is civil and tells them how she tried to set Zander up on a date with Mandy. She leaves gracefully (yes, that reads correctly). Sonny gives Zander some cash for his date. Sonny says he owes him for the good job he’s doing taking care of Carly.

Upon finding Edward, Courtney tells him how Janine was scamming him all along. Edward sees vindication finally and blabs to his family how he knew he was innocent all the time. No one knows who the girl is, though, and they don’t believe her, but she runs out before anyone can stop her, even Jax & Sonny who both try to find her and get into a little tiff over her.

Jax realizes Skye knew that Edward was innocent of the escapade all along. Alan overhears and is sorely disappointed in her. Everyone yells at her (except AJ, of course. Good to see that they are sticking together through anything). Kristina still looks on in awe of the Quartermaine family.

In Janine’s room, Courtney lets her mom have it. She can’t believe she was going to scam Edward out of money and not even tell him that he didn’t do anything wrong. Janine tells Courtney she would understand if she had a daughter of her own. Janine asks her to pack her bags so they can get going. Courtney says she isn’t going. Sonny walks in and invites her to stay with him.


At Carly’s club...

Zander shows up with hot dogs and beers and offers to keep Carly company. (I think someone is attracted to his boss’ ex-wife.) Zander tells Carly he thought she might want some company after seeing Sonny with Alexis. She thanks him for coming by and decides it is okay for him to stick around. She even stops working for a bit to dance with him.


At the Spencer house...

Everyone oohs and aahs about the upcoming nuptials. Elton did a great job. Everyone tells Lucky how great all will be.


But, upstairs, Liz is not at all happy with Gia’s news. She denies that it is possible and accuses Gia of playing a joke on her or straight up lying or trying to ruin her day. Whatever the reason, she refuses to believe it and continues with her wedding. Audrey, Laura and Bobbie come in and offer some last minute marriage advice (okay, well Audrey does the talking. We all know Bobbie doesn’t have much to offer in that regard.)

Lucky goes outside to get some pre-wedding fresh air and his dad comes out and sort of questions whether Lucky is really ready to get married. He tells Lucky not to go through with it if he has any doubts whatsoever. Lucky doth protest too much, insisting he has no doubts.

Ceremony begins. Down the aisle comes Lulu...Gia...Audrey...the bride. Liz gives her vows and they are amazing, if I do say so myself. Lucky gives his. Mid-vow, just as Lucky is saying his love for her is stronger than ever and that no one can ever change that, Liz realizes that Lucky has indeed stopped loving her. She says she can see it in his eyes. She runs upstairs. Everyone is shocked, except for Nikolas. He is mad and gives the evil eye to Gia.

Luke & Laura discuss what is up with their son. Luke says it has seemed like Lucky has been trying to talk himself into the wedding.

Nikolas tells the guests the bride- and groom-to-be probably need some privacy. Everyone goes out to watch the fireworks. Nikolas tracks Gia down and forces her outside. He demands to know if she told Elizabeth what he told her.

Lucky catches up with Liz upstairs and tries to coax her down to get married. She isn’t budging, though. She wants to know if his love for her truly came back.
