    Brenda Returns! Additional Casting News


    In some news that is sure to rock the foundation of Port Charles, the executives at the show have decided after months of speculation, that now is the perfect time for Brenda to return. However.....Vanessa Marcil will not be returning to the show. Instead, TPTB have tapped Emmy Winner Gina Tognoni (ex-Dinah, GL; ex-Kelly, OLTL) to take over the role.

    "We asked Vanessa to return," says Jennifer Snyder, the consulting producer for 'Port Charles'. "However after some discussion, we felt it best for her to fulfill her commitment to NBC and 'Las Vegas'. I talked things over with Ryan [Chandler] and we both agreed to no longer pursue Vanessa."

    Fortunately the show had a great alternative choice! "We choose Gina because we think she can capture the unique portrayal that Vanessa did, and build on top of that to make the role her own." Ryan Chandler says. "She tested very well with her scene partners and seemed genuinely excited about this new venture. She will work out great."

    Now that Brenda is returning, does that mean she'll be with Jax...or Sonny? "Brenda's not in town for either one of them....though her return will surely ruffle their feathers. She comes back to town to help Robin with a series of problems, two in particular that will cause Brenda to stay in town longer than she expected." And how will Carly react? "Carly has other things on her mind besides Brenda, but that could change if she begins to feel threatened. We all know how territorial Carly can get."

    "I'm looking forward to reuniting with Laura Wright," says Gina Tognoni. "We had great chemistry on Guiding Light, and i can't wait to recapture that magic here."

    In additional casting news, the show has decided to again recast the role of Michael Corinthos III. When asked why the show is recasting, we were told it was for "storyline reasons." Apparently the show wanted to go with a more younger actor and felt that though Bobby Steggert was a good actor, he didn't fit the direction of the character. Former ATWT star Jake Weary (ex-Luke) will take over the role beginning Friday, May 18th.

    Also, the show has opted to recast the roles of Serena Baldwin and Hunter Halloway before the actors set in the roles (Ashley Benson & Eric Winter) began taping. "We decided to make the character of Serena older than we originally anticipated. We felt we could get better story with an older actress in the role."

    Again, keeping with the trend of picking up former CBS actors, Stephanie Gatschet (ex-Tammy, GL) will take over the role of Serena Baldwin. Hunter will be portrayed by Stephanie's former screen parter on 'Guiding Light' Scott Bailey (ex-Sandy). "We decided we can introduce these two characters together, and give them a backstory and have that play out on screen." Serena & Hunter are romantically involved and will debut on the show together. We have been told that Eric Winter is still being considered for a role coming next year, but nothing is set in stone. The actors are said to be slightly disappointed, but understand that this wasn't a personal decision.

    GOING: Kristina Wagner (Felicia) and Lindze Letherman (Georgie) have taped their final scenes. The actresses will last air in three weeks, when the two decide to move back out to Texas. Could Wally Kurth be on his way out? Rumor has it that the actor would like a 6 month break to spend more time with his children.

    STAYING: Stuart Damon, Leslie Charleson, Jane Elliot, & Lynn Herring have all extended their contracts with the show. The powers that be wanted to reward the actors for their long years of service with new extended contracts.

    RETURNING?: Could Emily be returning? Sources are telling us that PC is gearing up for a big story that might require the presence of the beloved Quartermaine heiress. A former CBS actress was spotted on the set says an anonymous source.

    Port Charles begins in at Deception Inc. Lulu has just started her internship with the company and is enjoying the privileges of being related to the owner. Her mood perks up when Lucas stops by to see Carly. Lulu explains why Carly isn't in the office today, but Lucas knows the real reason why. He's tempted to tell her about Carly's pregnancy, but that's her news to tell.

    "How are you holding up?" she asks with much concern. "You and I haven't really hung out much since….you know." Lulu gently alludes to the hit and run accident that killed Brandon. "I like miss hanging out with you."

    Lucas can tell that she's worried about him, but he tells her he's holding up just fine. "I've been keeping my mind on trying to move forward. It still hurts that he's not around, but I'm trying not to dwell on it." Lucas sneaks a handful of her popcorn. "Anyways, what do you do here?"

    "Well, I'm Carly's assistant at the moment. I do all the things that an assistant does….except I get paid a lot for it," the blonde one replies. From the corner of her eye she notices two people that she really doesn't feel like seeing at the moment. "Oh god….look who's here."

    Lucas turns to see Maxie and Dillon walk into the waiting area of Carly's office.

    Lorenzo’s plane touched down in Miami little past midnight. If he didn’t hurry he would be late for the meeting with the 5 families. The plane pulled into the hanger and a limo was waiting for him to take him to the secluded meeting place. Lorenzo debarked from the plane and climbed into the backseat of the long black limo, he was in a hurry to get to the meeting.

    Lucky and Mac walk with a purpose towards Sonny’s office and are stopped by one of Sonny’s body guards. Mac and Lucky both flash their badges and are detained until Sonny emerges from his office. He gives the guard a nod and invites them in.

    “What do I owe this pleasure, Mac?” Sonny asks playfully.

    “You know why we’re here, Sonny.” Lucky speaks up. “You know, that shootout you ordered as retaliation against Lorenzo could have ended badly. This little war the two of you have going on needs to stop.”

    “A war between me and Lorenzo? I have no idea what you are talking about.”

    “Don’t play games with me , Sonny! We know that the truce between you and Lorenzo ended the night Courtney was murdered. You ordered that shootout, forcing Lorenzo to flee the country! I'm sure you know that he's returned and is in a very foul mood.” Mac said getting frustrated with no answers from the town mobster.

    “I’m sorry Mac, but you know the drill. No lawyer, no questions answered.”

    “Yeah, yeah, I know. Maybe you’d feel more comfortable talking about this downtown?” Lucky suggested since they weren’t getting anywhere by playing nice with Sonny.

    Sonny shrugged his shoulders and Mac was getting more and more disgusted with the direction the meeting was going.

    “Fine. We’ll be back with a warrant. I’m sure there is something we can arrest you for.” Mac said before he stormed out of Sonny’s office, leaving Lucky behind.

    Sonny stood up from his seat and came around the desk to show Lucky the door, but before he left the office, Lucky made one more point very clear.

    “Just so we’re clear, you and Jason are going down…one way or another. Either Lorenzo will kill you and we'll be forced to attend your funeral while my cousins grieve for you, or Commissioner Devane is gonna make sure you're both locked up for a very long time. Either way Sonny, you’re living on borrowed time!”

    Sonny walks from behind his desk and gets in Lucky's face. "You know….I have a lot of respect for your father. He and I were good friends as you know, and for that reason alone is why I'll give you this warning." Sonny pats Lucky on the shoulder. "If you get in my way….I will not hesitate to take you out, do you understand me? Your father only has so many favors with me, but I will NOT let that stop me from doing what I have to do."

    With that Lucky left Sonny’s office, and Sonny slammed the door shut behind him. He quickly picked up the phone and called his attorney. He needed to nip this situation in the bud before he was sitting in a 6x6 cell or worse, 6 feet under pushing up daisies.

    When Lorenzo arrived at the meeting, he was shown inside by two body guards. Once inside, he was greeted by 5 representatives of the 5 families. He took his rightful place at the table amongst the others and they got down to business.

    “We are surprised to see you made the meeting, Alcazar. We heard you were going to be out of the country, indefinitely.”

    "I don't know where you are getting your information from, but maybe you should find a new source," Lorenzo says dryly. "This meeting is important to my business and I wouldn't miss it for anything. "

    Each member read their report for their territory, filling in each member of the families as to what has been happening in each sector. The meeting about to come to a close, Lorenzo asked to speak freely and he was given the floor to say what he wanted.
    <HR>
    Back at Deception, Lulu immediately orders Maxie out of the building. Dillon stands up for Maxie, feeling that Lulu has no right to attack her for no reason. Dillon attempts to say hi to Lucas, but is coldly brushed off. Dillon tells Lucas that he can't stay mad at him forever; Lucas thinks otherwise.

    Maxie kind of feels bad. She knows that if she hadn't drugged Lucas and Dillon, they would have never almost had sex, and Brandon wouldn't have seen them. They can't learn that she had any involvement in that night. Lulu explains to Dillon that she's still upset that he tried something with Lucas, but won't hold that against him. What she will hold against him however is his insistence to hang out with that uber bitch Maxie. Lucas and Lulu ask them to leave one more time, or else they'll call security. Dillon tries to reason with them, but to no avail. Maxie decides to be the voice of reason and pulls Dillon towards the door.
    <HR>
    Meanwhile in Miami……Lorenzo is about to address the 5 families.

    "As most of you well know, there have been movements between myself and the Corinthos organization that has some of you a little worried about what's going on. I can assure you; this will not affect my business. Shipments will continue to be made on time. The only problem I may have to deal with is former WSB Agent Anna Devane. The beautiful, yet deadly Commissioner is determined to bring me down. Things are going to get worse before they get better. I just want to make sure I have the support of the families."

    The representatives agree to discuss this with their respective families for an answer. The meeting was interrupted by a group of unannounced guest. Those in the meeting quickly drew their weapons and point them at the guest who dared enter the room. The person stands in the shadows, but orders the guards up ahead. The person speaks through a voice modifier asking them to stand down. The mysterious guest pledges to help Lorenzo in his battle for the Port Charles territory and promises to contact him when the time is right.

    Port Charles begins in at Kelly's diner. Epiphany walks by and sees Patrick looking at pictures of him and Robin with a smile on his face. Ordinarily she wouldn't involve herself in this, but decides to take a chance and ask Patrick what's up.

    "It looks like you have a lot of good memories over there," says Epiphany while pulling up a chair. "It must be great to have a good thing going on. I mean what's better than coming to work and working with the person that you love?"

    Sarah walks into the diner and smiles at Epiphany and Patrick before hanging her jacket up. Epiphany doesn't even fake a smile, she sneers at the blonde before turning her attention back to Patrick. "That girl is nothing but trouble I tell you. You would think she'd have better things to do than sniff around someone else's man."

    Patrick smiles at Epiphany as he begins to take a few more pictures out. "Things are going great between Robin and I. For the first time in my life I can actually take a breath. I don't think I've ever met someone who can infuriate the hell out of me, yet also make me want to wrap her up in my arms and protect her from the world." Patrick hands Epiph a picture taken at the hospital gala last year. "I just hope I don't screw things up."

    Epiphany continues to listen on as Patrick asks her for advice on how to not screw things up. Meanwhile at the other table, Sarah eavesdrops and doesn't like what she hears.
    <HR>
    At the PCPD, Mac finishes up his paperwork on the Alcazar raid he and Lucky oversaw last week at the docks. Mac is upset that someone like him, who has spent years working on the PCPD to do doing the work he has been. Not that he doesn't appreciate those that do this kind of work, it's just that he feels he's worked long and hard enough to not have to do this yet again in this stage in his career. Mac leans back in his chair after closing the file. Detective Cruz comes by and brings by another accident report from the April hit and run that killed Brandon Wexler. Cruz suggests that Mac check out the photos on page 10, referencing that the car was constantly in motion, so it may not have been intentional. Mac thanks Cruz for bringing over the report, Cruz hopes that Mac regains his title soon.

    Alan & Monica walk into the MetroCourt arguing. "I thought you said you had the reservations done Alan. We show up and there's not there? I mean really Alan, really. Couldn't you have been a little more prepared?"

    "Will you hush Monica. I <b>did</b> have reservations but for some reason they believe I cancelled them. And before you say anything, I did NOT cancel our reservations. However our getaway will not be ruined. Thanks to Jax, all of the Quartermaines have a suite on hold at all times as part of the deal for us selling the land for the MC to be built. So why don't just sit back, relax and let me handle everything. Once we get checked in, I'll take you to the terrace for a romantic evening."

    Monica's taken aback by Alan's desire to have this be 'perfect'. So sad she only agreed to go on this trip to give Alan one more night together.
    <HR>
    Elsewhere in the MetroCourt, Lucy has taken David up on his offer to ask her to dinner, feeling rejected by Kevin. Though she tries not to have fun at first, she eventually cracks and allows David to show her a good time. He's kind of charming and cute in a devious, don't let him pour me a drink way. Tonight is the first time since she's returned to Port Charles (back in December) that she's been happy. She tells him that and is happy when he admits he's glad to have brightened up her mood. They were just beginning to get to the second part of their 3 course meal when Lucy is surprised by the appearance of Serena!

    Back at Kelly's, Epiphany is about to give Patrick some advice.

    "You're a brilliant doctor Dr. Drake, and I think you're a very good man. It's quite easy to be tempted by outside forces in your relationship, but you've resisted. When I see you and Robin together, it reminds me what young love should be about. You both annoy the hell out of each other…and me, but I can see the love between you two. All you have to do is remember that and you'll be fine."

    Epiphany gets up to grab her order from the counter. Patrick thanks Epiphany for the talk, sneaks a bite of some more fries before heading out. Sarah rushes out behind him and asks to talk to him…alone.

    On the next Port Charles
    -Sarah realizes that she has no chance with Patrick
    -Lucky gives Elizabeth her divorce papers
    -Lucy has plans for Serena

    ICU: Sonny, Mike & Morgan
    Monday, July 16, 2007
    <HR>
    Sonny had the afternoon free and decided to arrange a father/sons day with the boys. Michael didn't feel like going, choosing to go to soccer camp and then to his mother's to fill out paperwork for the ELQ internship program. So it looked like it was going to just be him and Morgan. A father and son adventure to the park if that's what you want to call it. Realizing the fun they would all have, Sonny placed a call to Mike and invited him to join in.

    Max pulled the limo around to the front door of the mansion, and Sonny, along with Morgan climbed in the back seat. Max made a stop at Kelly’s and picked up Mike, to make the father and son group complete.

    Max parked the limo in his usual spot and the group of them entered the park. Morgan latched onto Sonny’s hand as they walked the narrow path towards the playground. He could see the jungle gym in the distance and he started to tug Sonny in that direction. As they turned the corner in the narrow path they were met with a group of shady characters. Though he couldn't be sure, the distinctive tattoos' on their bodies gave Sonny the indication they could be from one of the Miami crime families. Sonny and his group were stopped by the burly men, as Morgan hid behind Sonny and Max closed in, his hand on his 9mm.

    "Mr. Corinthos," the leader of the pack began with a thick latino accent, "We have a message for you. A very important one."

    Sonny had a feeling that something was about to go down. “Max, take Morgan & Mike back to the car and wait for me.” Sonny said as he gently pushed Morgan back into Max.

    “But, Mr. C ….”

    “Do what I tell you Max! Take Morgan & Mike back to the car, now!”

    Max hesitated, then picked up Morgan and began heading to the car. Mike reluctantly begins to follow suit, however one of the men grabs him. "The kid and the muscle can go. The old man stays," the leader hissed. Max rushes Morgan back to the limo, leaving Sonny and Mike to deal with the group of goons they had encountered.

    The five surly men encircled Mike and Sonny, leaving them no way out. In the little time Sonny had to access the situation, he realized his suspicions were correct, the 5 men were part of an organization from Miami. The 5 spoke in Spanish to each other, giving instructions on the beat down Sonny and Mike were about to receive. Mike and Sonny stood back to back keeping a watchful eye on the 5 goons that surrounded them. Sonny could see no weapons on the group of men, and he realized this would be a hand-to-hand combat if he and Mike were going to be the ones who were left standing.

    Sonny and Mike quickly came up with a game plan to take down the 5 men, their odds weren’t looking good, but they just couldn’t take the beating without a fight. Back in the car, Max attempts to reach Jason, but as usual with Jason lately, he doesn't answer his phone. Max doesn't want to leave Morgan alone and knows that if he does, the boss will have a fit. He does the only logical thing….call the police.

    The group leader spoke to Sonny and he replied to him in Spanish and with an attitude, which resulted in a punch to the jaw. The first punch was thrown and an attack by the 5 men ensued. Sonny was handled himself fairly well one on one, and even two on one for a short time. But Mike was outnumbered and was quickly taken down to the ground. Once Mike was subdued to the ground, three of the men restrained Sonny by holding his arms behind his back forcing him to watch what was about to be happen to Mike.

    While two of the men held Sonny in their clutches, the other three men brutally attacked Mike. Moans and groans could be heard as Mike took numerous kicks to the ribs, and countless hits to his body and head. As soon as they were finished with Mike, they came at Sonny. With nowhere to go, Sonny was able to get his arms free and started to throw punches. He fought back but two of them restrained him yet again as the other three took turns at beating Sonny senseless. The two burly men who held on to him soon left go and Sonny’s lifeless body fell to the ground.

    The job was done and the five men stepped over the lifeless bodies as one of them pulled out his cell phone from his suit jacket. A barely conscious Sonny groggy but conscious listened as the leader made a phone call.

    “It’s done boss. I’m sure Mr. Corinthos will be very cooperative from now on.”

    The camera cuts to Lorenzo sitting in his office, hanging up the phone and smiling. The shady characters who encountered Sonny and Mike gave them a beating they soon won’t forget and left them lying on the ground battered and bruised. Sonny couldn’t stay conscious as he passed out from the pain that had been inflicted on him and moans could be heard from Mike as he lie on the ground next to his son. The last thing he heard before passing out was the loud roar of sirens descending into the park…..

    Port Charles begins with Luke at General Hospital. Luke angrily pushes open the door to the Doctor’s locker room and barks at Patrick, demanding to know where Noah is. Surprised, Robin told Luke that Noah was in surgery. Luke took off, in search of Noah.

    Down the hall, Luke saw Noah walk out of an operating room and Luke yelled for him. Noah looked up and started to walk towards him. When he reached Luke, he told him he had to be quiet as this was a hospital. Luke replied that he didn’t give a damn, that they needed to talk about Bobbie or Noah was going to go back into that operating room, and not as the surgeon. Seeing the look on Luke’s face, Noah led Luke into a small office and closed the door. “What do you want to know about my wife?” Luke responds with a sharp right hand to Noah's jaw.

    Maxie looked Carly over and rolled her eyes. Maxie drawled, “Carly, there is nothing going on between me and Lucas. I just feel bad for him, you know? He just lost someone he loves.”

    “I am fully aware of that Maxie and I would appreciate it if you keep your distance from him.” Carly throws at her, narrowing her eyes as she watches this girl that she can’t trust. Carly focus on Maxie breaks when Lulu enters the diner.

    Lulu walks over and senses the hostility in the air and asks if she can help out. Carly updates Lulu on what she saw. Lulu tells Carly to go ahead and handle what she has to take care of; she (Lulu) can handle this. Carly thanks Lulu and heads to Sonny's to see how he's doing since his release from GH. When Carly leaves, Maxie walks away, but Lulu blocks her.

    Elsewhere in General Hospital, Lainey is in her office doing paperwork for her cases when a knock at the door startles her. She gives permission for the guest to enter and is surprised to see Jason standing there.

    Lainey leans back in her chair and tosses her pen on her desk. "Mr. Morgan, how nice it is to see you again. Do you need something?"

    Jason slowly walks over to her desk and gives her his patented 'I want to ask you something but not sure how to say it' stare. "I uh….I wanted to know if there was anything you could share with me about Sam's condition."

    "Jason you know I can't say anything about that. You're not listed as her next of kin."

    Jason tenses up. "Don't you think I know that?! I just want to know why she can't remember me." Jason pauses, thinking about the problems his family went through with him when he couldn't remember them. "I know Sam doesn't have the same condition as I do. It should be easy to trigger her memory right?"

    Lainey gets up from behind her desk and walks over to Jason. "I'm going to give you this piece of advice. Don't rush Sam. When the time comes, she'll get her memory back . I'm working very hard to help her remember the life that she had. But she may not remember. That's something you're just gonna have to accept. " She reaches into her pocketbook and takes out a card. "Here, this is a friend of mine who can help you out. Dr. Collins is a very good psychologist."

    "Yeah I know," Jason says turning around. "Thanks….for whatever." Jason leaves the office.

    The camera cuts to Robin's apartment, as Anna and Robin are spending some time together. Anna fills Robin in on what happened at the MetroCourt. Robin thinks that Anna may have been jealous when she saw Skye with Jax. Anna remarks that she doesn't get jealous, she makes people jealous, however there is a first time for everything. Robin asks if Lorenzo's been sniffing around lately; Anna denies he has. Robin thinks it's a good idea of they stay far away from each other. Robin looks down and realizes that she's just eaten the entire gallon of vanilla mint chip ice cream by herself! She apologizes to her mother, assuming that she really must have been hungry. Anna tells Robin that she had a strange dream the other night about fish. Robin drops her bowl into the sink at Anna's silly dream. Anna remarks that maybe…just maybe….there's going to a little Robin running around soon.

    Maxie sighed and told Lulu that she hardly ever sees Lucas and that she should mind her own business. Inwardly, Maxie was scared, she didn’t want or need Lulu or Carly digging into that night and finding out about her involvement in Brandon’s death. She had to put up a brave face, especially around these two nosey bitches. She pushes Lulu out of the way, making sure she her personal space isn't being invaded by the screaming she-banshee that is Lulu. Lulu continued to run off at the mouth, but Maxie wasn’t listening, she had to get out of there. She interrupted Lulu, “So, yeah Lulu, whatever. I’m leaving.”

    Lulu grabbed Maxie’s arm, “Stay away from Lucas. Or you will have to deal with me.”

    Luke pushes Noah into the chair as Noah clutches his jaw. "What in the hell was that for!" Noah yells out. "What is your damn problem?!"

    Luke cut him off and yelled, “Barbara Jean called me today and guess what we talked about?"

    Noah answers sharply, "How should I know what you talked about?"

    "She told me everything Noah, everything!" Luke grabs his right hand, the pain beginning to set in.
    "How the hell could you let my sister suffer like this. Jesus Noah, I know all about that night and guess what Einstein, Mac Scorpio is about a step away from arresting her for murder. Why didn’t you come to me in the first place? I'm her brother! I could have helped!"

    Noah stood there, calm and collected which just infuriated Luke more. He told Luke that he took matters in his own hands and was dealing with it. He did what he had to do to protect Bobbie. He covered up everything and even married her so they couldn't be forced to testify against one another."

    “How stupid are you? Did you completely forget that I have more experience dealing with these things than you do?" Luke finds it harder and harder to control his anger. "After she called me, I went over to her house to find my sister staring at a bottle of vodka! She is not dealing with this at all. She will never stand up to the scrutiny of the police!” Luke shouted, his arms flying in every direction. “I don’t know how Mac did it because I always thought that Robert was the brains in the Scorpio family, but it sounds like Mac has something on her. You should have come to me and I would have taken care of it.”

    “Luke, she is my wife and I am taking care of it”

    “Her being your wife means nothing! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! You left Bobbie in the 80's, come back a few years ago and all of a sudden you think you can handle her life? I've been protecting Barbara Jean since I was young kid. I know what's best for her, you don't. You've done a piss poor job of 'taking care' of things! " Luke started to pace around the room, screaming at Noah at every turn, “Carly and Lucas will hate her for this and Patrick will hate you. This secret is going to come out. If you had come to me in the first place, this would have been dealt with and my sister wouldn’t be close to an alcoholic binge. We are going to do this my way and my way only! So deal with that!” Luke opened the door and slammed it shut.

    Mayor Floyd not pleased with the conduct of his Co-DA, he requests a private talk with Alexis out in the hallway.

    “May I see you out in the hall?” Floyd asked Alexis as she straightened herself up a bit.

    Ric was sure a reprimand was coming down on Alexis and began to follow them. “I need to talk with Alexis in private.” Floyd said as he saw Ric following. Ric backed off but as soon as the door closed, he listened in.

    “Alexis what are you thinking? I am trying to maintain a professional DA’s office but you are making this difficult.”

    “I’m sorry, Garrett, it won’t happen again.”

    “You’re right, it won’t happen again. For months I've trusted you to cooperate with the PCPD and help them build their case against Sonny Corinthos and Lorenzo Alcazar, but yet, I see nothing. You're the lead DA on this case and you just aren't delivering. But then again, I guess you'd rather meet your husband for quickies in the afternoon. Effective immediately, I’m putting you on suspension upon further review by the review board.”

    Alexis is taken back by the suspension. “Garrett? Is that really necessary? I mean come on. I'm willing to put your second comment aside for the time being, but I do a damn good job for you and the citizens of PC. It's not my fault that your lead investigators aren't doing theirs."

    “I’m sorry Alexis. But I’ve made my decision.”

    Ric who was listening emerged from his office and tried to convince Garrett he was making a mistake in suspending Alexis. Mayor Floyd puts his hand up, stopping Ric in his tracks. “Ric, don’t try to plead this case with me. You’re going to lose.”

    “Garrett, listen to reason will you?” Ric tried to appease the already upset Mayor.

    “Ric, you’re a great DA, really you are. But honestly you’re lucky you are still working in this office. The connection you have to the major crime boss in this town would certainly serve reason enough to have you removed not only from this case, but as the DA as well. However, I’ve been able to look past that because of your impeccable conviction record. The fact of the matter is, I feel Alexis is a liability and may have some kind of loyalty to Sonny because they share a child. Besides, she's distracted. The fact that her oldest daughter….Sam I think her name is, is not dead, but alive, must be placing some kind of stress on her. This will give her time to work that out and when she's done, she can return.

    Alexis feels her blood boiling at this point. Does he thinks he's not able to handle more than one thing at time just because she's a woman? How dare he. Ric watches Alexis' jaw clench and tries to intervene.

    "Please don’t give me another reason to boot your butt back to Manhattan,” says the mayor, warning Ric more time. The mayor walked away, leaving Alexis and Ric dumbfounded and standing in the hallway wondering what just had happened.

Mac orders Cruz to keep this between the two of them, not to inform anyone related to the Spencer family about what's going on. Lucky may be a cop, but he's loyal to his family and that could cost them this case. Mac puts in a call and orders an secret APB out on Bobbie Spencer-Drake. Mac picks up his gun and badge and decides to pay his old buddy Luke a visit.

    As Alexis and Ric watched Garrett walk away from them, he quickly turned around and came back towards them like he forgot tell them something.

    “Forget something?” Ric said as Garrett approached.

    “Yes actually. I forgot to tell you. You'll be getting a new Assistant DA. I've assigned him to specifically work the Corinthos/Alcazar case. The two of you are excessively too close to it. I needed someone who will look at it rationally and objectively. "

    Garrett smiles a little bit. He figures this as a chance to rid himself of the people holding him back in his campaign to rid PC of crime. "His name is Darin Palmer, one of the top ADA's in the city of New York. Play nice with him Ric or you'll find yourself in the unemployment line."

    As Garrett walked away from them, Ric was reminded of an old law school buddy, namely Darin Palmer. Alexis noticed Ric was off somewhere else. “Ric, are you okay?”

    “Yeah I’m fine. I just remembered where I know that name from.”

    “Who, Darin Palmer?”

    “Yes him. He and I are old acquaintances. We went to law school together.”

    “Well this should be interesting. The two of you together again, were you close friends?”

    “We were….. until he stole the woman I was in love with.” Ric walked away from Alexis, leaving her with even more questions about Ric and the life he lived before they met.

    Featuring Alan & Monica

    <HR>
    It was the last night of Monica and Alan’s getaway and Monica still hadn’t been able to bring herself to end things with Alan. She knew in her heart that she had to tell him, and tell him tonight. She was ready to move on with her life with Kevin. She walks absently around in the sitting room, deep in thought as to what she is going to say. In the bathroom, she can hear Alan whistling as he shaved. The two of them had spent earlier making love….that's the least Monica could do, especially since she was about to end things with him.

    When he finished he walked into the sitting room and took Monica in his arms. He tells her again how much he loves her. He kisses her neck and caresses her hand. He is so happy that they came on this trip to rediscover their love for each other. He mentions that being close to her today, for the first time in months, had made him realize how much the intimacy was missing from their marriage. Monica begins to squirm as he continues to talk about the 'progress' they've made. He even has a gift for her. Monica wrenches herself free from his grasp and tells him to stop. That she can’t take this anymore.

    Puzzled, Alan looks at her. He asks her what is on her mind Monica draws in a deep breath and avoids looking into his eyes. Finally, she focuses on the picture on the wall right above his right shoulder. “Alan, I want to…I just…I think we should go ahead with the divorce. I can’t keep living a lie anymore.”

    Alan backs away from her. “What are you talking about, living a lie? You want to go ahead with the divorce? I thought you wanted to repair our marriage Monica. That’s what this trip was for. That's why we've been in therapy! What is going on here?” Alan stares at her and watches her expression. Everything that has been suspicious about Monica's actions these past few months begin to fall into place. Alan demands to know if this has anything to do with her resigning her position as Chief Cardiologist.

    Monica sinks into a chair and folds her hands in her lap. She thinks back to when she first started chatting online with Kevin. How connected she felt with him and how she still feels with him. The feeling she gets when he makes love to him. Slowly, she starts to tell Alan about how when times were tough between the two of them she met someone online and that they became confidants. Then they decided to meet as he was coming to Port Charles. Alan interrupts, “You met him Monica? You confided in this man. You opened your heart to this man, all the while I thought we were doing good? Tell me, do I know this person?”

    After a long silence, she nods. “Yes Alan you do. You know him quite well."

    "Well don't just sit there Monica, share with the class what his name is?"

    "Don't you patronize me Alan. That's part of the reason why this isn't working anymore! You don't treat me with respect."

    "Damn it! Tell me his name!"

    Monica's anxiety turns to anger. "It's Kevin….Kevin Collins.”

    “You are having an affair with Kevin Collins!” Alan’s face turned red with rage as he ranted. “How long has this been going on Monica, this carrying on behind my back? How long?” Monica whispered that she had been seeing Kevin for months. “Oh wonderful, you must have loved it when I hired him on at the hospital again." Alan's surprise and pain begin to grow as he realizes what a fool he's been these past few months. "Tell me Monica, did the two of you have sex at the hospital? Here in this hotel? At my house…..IN OUR BED?” Alan angrily stormed around the room and picked up a glass, and threw it against the wall. "And don't you even bring up that nonsense about it being your house."

    “Well it is my house! Look Alan, just stop it. Stop it! I mean….it just happened! We were having problems…” Monica’s voice trailed off.

    Alan turned around and faced her, a vein throbbing in his neck he was so angry. "It just happened? It just happened? No Monica, flash floods just <i>happen</i>. Affairs, months long, secret, hidden affairs are done voluntarily."

    He laughed maliciously, saying it was just like her to blame him when she was the one that had the affair. He had tried so hard to please her and the whole time she was sleeping with Kevin. He demanded to know who else knew. He realized that David Hayward had to know since she recommended him for her old job. "Let me guess….those packages you were receiving…..David must have found out and blackmailed you into resigning as Chief of Staff."

    She also told him that Lucy knew. “Well tell me Monica, tell me who didn't know? Who didn't know that you were breaking your marriage vows while I sat at home like an idiot?!”

    Monica shot to her feet and yelled back that he had been constantly ignoring her and she needed attention. Kevin was there for her. He gave her that attention. He made her feel like a beautiful, sexy woman whereas Alan made her feel unwanted.

    "You stand there with your self-righteous indignation and accuse me of breaking your heart. We haven't been happy for years. I may have had an affair, but you are NOT innocent in this. You've had your fair share of affairs too Alan, so don't you try to act like I'm the evil one." Monica walks over towards the closet. "I did love you Alan. I loved you very much, but I don't love you anymore."

    Alan yelled that he loved her every day of his life. “Get out Monica. I need to be by myself. Get out and go to your lover!” Monica’s eyes were blurred with tears as she grabbed her purse and her coat and walked through the door. After she shut the door, she could hear Alan yell an angry yell. Monica placed her head on the door as the tears streamed down her face. She's tempted to go back inside, but realizes that doing so will only put them back in the same cycle they've been in. Monica takes a deep breath, regaining her composure, walking away and not looking back.

    Back inside, Alan sat on the edge of the bed and tried to keep from letting the pain overcome him.

    Monica slowly walks down the hallway of General Hospital. People stop and whisper to their friends as she walks by. Obviously word of her affair with Kevin has gotten around now. Monica's tempted to try and do damage control, but a part of her is glad that everything is out in the open. No longer does she have to hide her feelings for Kevin, but now she can be free from the guilt she has felt these past few months. Or can she? Monica's plans with Kevin were to just take it as it went. Maybe Kevin wanted more, but Monica wanted to live life in the moment. To say Alan's heart attack has changed her outlook would be an understatement. All of the feelings she thought she no longer had for Alan began to come back to the surface.

    "Old habits are hard to break," she tells herself while getting onto the elevator. The doors close and Monica leans her head against the wall. "Why is did this have to happen? Why now?" Monica tries not to make herself feel guilty, but a part of her knows that she's indirectly responsible for Alan's condition.

    Jason enters the waiting area and brings Emily a cup of coffee. She thanks Jason for being so kind, and for being patient with her during her little tirade against Monica. Jason feels that everyone is entitled to their own feelings, and doesn't want to tell someone how they should feel. Their conversation is interrupted by AJ & Skye.

    "Why are you giving mother such a hard time Emily? She's not perfect, we all make mistakes. I think she should be shown the same consideration," says AJ snapping at his little sister. "We're all upset, but you had no right to off on her like that."

    Emily puts her cup down and stands up. "I have the right to go off on whoever I damn well please. As someone who's been cheated on, I know how it feels to have your trust betrayed. To feel as if you weren't good enough. And that's what Monica has done to our father."

    AJ laughs and cocks his head to the side. "You mean the way you made Zander feel when you decided to shack up with Nikolas?" AJ feels the glare from Emily's cold eyes. "I think you're in no position to criticize."

    Jason doesn't take too kindly to AJ talking to Emily the way that he is. "What Emily did to Zander was in the past. It's sucks, but she knows what it's like from both ends."

    "The king of hypocrisy himself speaks. You're not in a position to pass judgment either Jason. You stole your brother's child and gave him to a criminal and whore!"

    Jason tosses a blank stare towards Skye's direction. "If you wanna bring that up Skye, go right ahead. But from one kid stealer to another, maybe you should back the hell up."

    "Monica should not be raked over the coals for having a moment of weakness. It happens to the best of Jason," Skye says. "I don't approve of what she did, but I'm not going to hold her over the fire either."

    "A moment of weakness happens once. Not multiple times. That's something I don't get. We've been down this road before and I supported our mother. I'm not happy with her actions and no one is going to make me feel otherwise."

    At Titan, Jax is speaking with a representative from a recently acquired company.

    "Thank you, I'm looking forward to making this transitions as seamless as possible," says Jax with his thick Australian accent. "Don't worry, your president of talent relations will fit in quite well here. I intend to make sure that this person settles in and gets acclimated to Port Charles quickly."

    Jax hangs up the phone and straightens up his office. His shuttle service should have picked up the newest Titan employee by now, and will be here at any moment.

    Monica signs the visitor's log and prepares to make her way to Alan's room. She enters the hall that leads to his room but is stopped by security. Monica is confused as to what's going on, and demands answers from those keeping her from Alan. Security tells Monica that they've received orders from Mr. Edward Quartermaine and Mrs. Tracy Quartermaine-Spencer to bar anyone not on the approved visitors list.

    Monica angrily pulls her arm away from the guard and tells him off. The guard hands Monica her purse and asks her to leave.

    "I see you've met our security," snaps a voice from behind, "I'm glad to know I'm getting my money's worth."

    Back at Titan, a knock on the door prompts Jax to invite the person in.

    "Come on in, the door's unlocked!"

    Jax, with his back turned to the door, is so focused on the paperwork on his desk, that he didn't see the person enter his office.

    "Have a seat please, I'll be with you in a moment," Jax says without looking up.

    "It's ok, take your time," the familiar voice says.

    Jax drops the papers on the floor. "Your voice sounds very familiar."

    "It should….you almost married me."

    Jax spins around in his chair and is shocked to find that the newest member of Titan Enterprises is no one other than the former love of his life, Brenda Barrett!!!

    Monica turns around and sees Edward glaring at her! "Edward there's no need for this. I'm Alan's wife. I have a right to see him."

    "You lost all rights to my son when you decided to shack up with that Kevin Collins."

    "You have no right to do this Edward."

    "Actually I do. I may not come after you the way Tracy did, but I will make you suffer for literally breaking my son's heart."

    It's obvious how painful it is for Edward to speak these words to Monica. She's been a part of their family for years, but enough is enough. He has to stand his ground.

    "If you come near Alan again, you will be arrested."

    Jason is furious when he learns of Monica’s affair with Kevin Collins, and lays the blame of Alan’s heart attack at her feet. He could have lost his father tonight because of her, and he didn’t want to hear any more of her excuses. There was no excuse for what she has put him through. This wasn’t the first time Monica strayed from her marriage to his father, but enough was enough. Alan has suffered too much because of her lies and her extra-curricular activities with other men. Jason left the waiting area where the family gathered to cool off. He just needed time to process it all. After his argument with AJ over Monica’s affair, he needed to clear his head. At least he knew he had Emily on his side, she was as fed up as he was.

    As he walked the dreary halls of the hospital, he felt the anger build up inside him as his fist slammed against the wall. Elizabeth witnesses this happen and is tempted to go over to talk to Jason, but resists the urge. "He's not my concern."

    It's one thing for her to say it, it's another thing for her to believe it. She and Jason have been so close to one another, but it's time she focus on someone other than him or Lucky. Unbeknownst to Liz, Sam opens the door coming from the stairwell and sees how much Jason is hurting as well. Not sure how to feel, she just stands there, watching as his feelings build up and build up.

    “What did that wall ever do to you?” Carly said as she came up behind him not knowing why Jason was acting the way he was.

    “Not now Carly…” Jason snapped back.

    “Okay, I know something's wrong. I know about Alan. Talk to me Jason.”

    Jason stopped and turned around to face his best friend. “My father is lying in a hospital bed, suffering from a heart attack, and Monica is to blame!”

    “Is he going to be all right?” she asked genuinely concerned for Alan.

    “The doctors don’t know …. I could of lost him Carly … “Jason replied and Carly opened her arms up to him.

    “Alan’s strong, I’m sure he’ll be all right, Jason.” She trying to reassure him.

    “I am just so angry right now with Monica for putting him through all of this. This is all her fault! Her and her bed hopping has put my father through hell and back and does she care? Obviously not because she’s been doing this to him for years!”

    “Wait? Monica was having an affair? With who?"

    “Apparently it’s been going on for a while now. Her and Kevin Collins, can you believe that? Kevin Collins?!” Jason felt the anger inside him as his fists clenched wanting to let it all out on something or someone.

    “Oh my God! What does Monica have to say about all this?”

    “Excuse after excuse from her. It’s the same old story every time, and who cares if she hurts Alan or the family! She made it seem like things were getting better between her and my dad. She even came to me and asked if I thought marital counseling could help. But it was a lie! She lied to me and the family!”

    “The family knows? How are they taking it?” Carly asked as she saw the scrapes and bruises on his fists.

    “Well, let's just say we're not united against what she's done. AJ & Skye want to forgive her for her indiscretions, Tracy's feelings are quite obvious, she got arrested for assaulting Monica. Me? Well I don't have much to say. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel.

    “And Emily what does she say about it?” Carly knowing that Emily was the one member of the family who was closest to Jason.

    Elizabeth makes busy work for herself so she can overhear their conversation. She can't help but feel irritated that Carly is the one comforting Jason. Little does she know…she actually has something in common with Sam at this time.

    Lainey couldn’t believe her ears when Kelly accepted Steven’s dinner invitation for Friday night. Kelly knew she was interested in Steven, how could she step into her territory like that. As Lainey came upon the nurse’s station she saw Stan talking with his mother, Epiphany and an idea came to her. She hurried up to Stan with a question on her mind.

    “Hi Epiphany, how are you? May I steal him away for one minute?” she asked seemingly anxious.

    “Well … I suppose so.” Epiphany eyed Stan as Lainey lured him away from his mother.

    “What’s going on Lainey?” Stan asked as he took his arm back from her hand.

    “I need you.” Stan checked her out up and down, and Lainey playfully slapped his chest. “Not like that. I need you to out with me on Friday night.”

    “Friday night, huh? Hmmm… let me check my calendar.” Stan stood and thought for a second.

    “Sure where are we going?”

    “Pick me up around 7?” she asked as he still was wondering where they were going.

    “Sure … but….”

    “Great!” She gave him a peck on the cheek and before he could say another word, she was gone. He walked back over to the nurse’s station to continue his conversation with his mother.

    “What was that all about?” Epiphany asked.

    “I don’t really know, but I have a date on Friday night.” Stan replied as a huge grin came upon his mother’s face. “Now don’t go planning our wedding or anything, it’s just a date.” Stan continued.

    “I know, it’s nice to see you finally coming to your senses. Lainey’s a nice girl and she’s a doctor.” Epiphany grinned from ear to ear. “I hope the two of you have a nice time.” She added then moved to the other side of the station to continue her work. Stan followed her to continue the conversation they were having before Lainey interrupted.

    Over at Titan, Jax is more than surprised to see his former flame, Brenda Barrett standing before him.

    "You look shocked Jax. Aren't you glad to see me?"

    "Of course! Of course I am." Jax walks over to give Brenda a hug. "You look great my dear."

    "Thanks, so do you." Brenda smiles at Jax and tosses her hair back. It's been a few years since they last saw one another, but Jax looks the same as he did years ago, only a lot more handsome. "I am looking forward to working with you."

    Jax smiles and says he's looking forward to working with her as well. The two end up conversing for quite a while, trying to overcome the awkwardness of being around each other. "I wish we could talk forever," Jax says picking up his briefcase. "We have a lot of catching up to do, but I'm actually on my way to a meeting. Do you think we could meet up another time, perhaps over dinner?"

    "Of course. There's no need to even ask."

    Jax puts his hand on Brenda's back and leads her towards the door. "Listen, I don't usually do this for new hires, but I think I can make an exception. Take the next 3 weeks off. You're just now getting back into town, and you need some time to get settled in."

    "Thank you Jax," Brenda says smiling. "I think that'll do me some good."

    At General Hospital….Jason & Carly continue their conversation.

    “Emily is just as upset about this as I am. It’s the rest of the family who have lost their damn minds!”

    “Okay, let’s just calm down and take a few breaths. You need to focus all this on Alan and him getting well. Deal with Monica and the family later. Alan is more important, he needs you now, Jason.”

    Jason realizing he didn’t call Carly, what was she doing at the hospital? “Why the visit to the hospital? The baby is okay, right?”

    “The baby and I are fine. Michael heard of Alan's heart attack on news. I told him I would come down and check on Alan, I figured you would need me.”

    “And Nikolas?”

    “Oh don’t worry about him. He has a board meeting in 20 minutes. He knew he couldn't stop me if he wanted to.” She smiled as the two embraced again.

    “Thank you for being here with me, Carly. You always seem to pop up when I need you the most.”

    “Well that's because of our connection. I know when you’re hurting, I know when you need me and now I’m here to help you, so let me, please?”

    Jason leaned on her. “I just don’t know what to do, I mean it’s probably too late for me and Alan. We’ve traveled a long rough road, he and I.”

    “Jase, it’s never too late. You know that I know that more than anyone. Bobbie and I had a long hard road too, and we’ve come to terms with our past, we’ve found forgiveness. You and Alan can too.”

    “I don’t know what I would of done if we lost him tonight. There is a lot that still needs to be said, things that I want him to know, that he needs to know.”

    “Then tell him, Jason. Tell him now before it really is too late. Believe me, you’ll regret it if you don’t.”

    Carly gave him the reassurance that he needed to tell Alan how much he loved him, how much he needs his father in his life. Though still furious at Monica, his father needed him and he had to stay strong for him.

    “I’m sure Alan will pull through this, he’s a survivor. You need to go to him and be there for him. The way it sounds, he’s going to need you more than you know.”

    Carly hugs Jason before grabbing her coat to leave. She makes sure she takes the time to glare at Elizabeth before getting onto the elevator. Jason gets ready to head back upstairs when he gets a call from Sonny. He's asked to meet Sonny at the warehouse immediately.

    Looking like she hadn’t showered or eaten in days, Monica was keeping vigil in Alan’s hospital room. She looked like she hadn’t slept in weeks. She didn’t even notice anyone approaching when AJ knocked gently on the door. Monica looked up, her hair falling out of its bun and smiled weakly

    “Hi AJ, if you are looking for everyone, they just left to go home and change and eat I think. Your grandfather needs to rest or he will get sick too. I’m worried about his heart, not that anyone listens to me anymore.” She looked down at her hands. “I expect that they will be back soon.” She looked over at Alan lying in the bed, thinking that J would leave but she was surprised when AJ put his hand on her shoulder and lightly squeezed. Alarmed, she immediately asked him what was wrong.

    AJ assured her that nothing was wrong. He just wanted to be there for her, to sit with her for a while. He explained that he knew that every parent makes mistakes. Lord knows he has made plenty with Michael. He told her that yes, he was angry with her at first, but he understands that this isn’t her fault. He wants her to know that he has forgiven her. Monica burst into tears and throws her arms around AJ, hugging him close. AJ just holds his mother close, letting her cry until exhausted, she finally falls asleep.

    By the time Stan came to pick up Lainey, Kelly and Steven had already left for the restaurant. Stan was still a little confused as to what they’d be doing on their date. This was Lainey’s idea and he wasn’t sure what she had planned for their night out.

    Stan and Lainey walked down to the car. Being the gentleman that he was, he opened the door for her and she climbed in. He walked around to the driver’s side and climbed in behind the wheel. “So, where are we going?” He asked as he started the SUV.

    “There’s this new Indian place I heard about that I thought we’d try out. If that’s okay with you?”

    “Sure, sounds great.”

    The sound of a key entering the lock to Patrick & Robin's apartment startles Patrick. He rushes to put the pregnancy test box where it was and acts as if nothing wrong. Robin enters the apartment and calls Patrick's name. He casually makes his way into the living room and sits down next to Robin. He can tell something is bothering her, and is tempted to ask her outright about the pregnancy test, but decides against it. Robin just asks Patrick to hold her and rest on the sofa. The two hold each other, each keeping something back from the other. Patrick kisses Robin's head and reminds her that she can tell him anything. Robin thanks Patrick for always being there for her, especially when she feels so down. Robin decides to take a shower and then head to bed.

    Stan and Lainey arrived at the Indian restaurant and the host seated them in a dark corner of the dining area. Lainey sat down in the chair that would give her the best view of Steven and Kelly who she spotted when they followed the host to their table. Stan didn’t notice that she was already eyeing Steven and Kelly as he opened up the menu that was handed to him by the host.

    “Hmm … this all looks so good. I’m not sure what I’m going to choose. Lainey, what are you going to order?” Stan asked and he noticed her a little distracted. “Lainey?”

    “Oh I’m sorry, Stan. I guess I’m a little distracted.”

    “Yes I can see that. What is so interesting over there?”

    “Oh nothing, I just thought I knew someone.” Lainey covered as she looked over the menu and tried to enjoy the company she was in.

    As the evening progressed, Stan and Lainey were enjoying each other’s company, and enjoyed their dinner of Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka. She surprised herself by enjoying her night out with Stan, she certainly didn’t expect to have such a wonderful time.

    After paying the check, Stan and Lainey started walking out of the restaurant together hand in hand. Lainey completely forgetting why she and Stan were at that restaurant and on the date in the first place. They approached the SUV and she and Stan stood at the passenger side door of the vehicle.

    “I just have to say that I really enjoyed dinner tonight.” He said as he opened the door for her.

    “I did too.” She replied as he leaned closer to her to give her a kiss.

    For a brief moment her soft lips met his and she quickly pulled away and climbed into the passenger side seat. He smiled and closed the door. He climbed in the driver’s side behind the wheel and started up the SUV. He thought it might be nice to end the evening with some dessert at Kelly’s.
    “Would you like to stop off at Kelly’s for a scoop of ice cream?”

    Lainey smiled like a school girl, “Sure, I’d like that.”

    Michael is a block from home when he hears several car doors slam. He looks up and sees three or four men rush him. One of them pulls his backpack off him and throws it into the street. The men begin circling around Michael. The first man charges after Michael, who moves out of the way and kicks the guy in the stomach. Another tries to grab him, but Michael jumps out of the way and punches him in the face. Michael gloats a little and revels in having the upper hand. That celebration is cut very short after he's punched in the face.

    Michael falls to his knees, his shirt is pulled up over his head so that he can't see and is then stood up. The leader of the men slaps Michael across the face and is then pushed from one guy to the other. He is pushed to the ground and one of the thugs leans down and hisses, "Tell your father that Miami say's Hello." With that, he kicks Michael in the stomach and the car speeds off, leaving a bruised and shaken up Michael. Michael slowly gets up holding his stomach and cries out in pain.

    Steven and Kelly enjoyed their time together and had a wonderful time on their date. As they walked out of the restaurant together Kelly had to comment about seeing Stan and Lainey.

    “I hope Stan and Lainey had a nice time on their date. She deserves a nice night out on the town.”

    “She’s out tonight with Stan? I thought she had to work?”

    “I guess she got off of work early ….” Kelly replied knowing her mentioning Lainey’s date with Stan just got her in trouble with Steven.

    The police sirens were getting dangerously close to the warehouse as Max tried to get Sonny out. Much to no avail, Sonny wasn’t leaving, quite the opposite.

    “No! Max we’re not leaving, not until this bastard is dead!”

    “Mr. C the cops are going to be here any minute we have to get you out of here! We can’t be here when they arrive or we’ll be arrested and you don’t want that!”

    Lorenzo struggled in the chair to get free but one of Sonny’s men noticed and knocked him down to the ground, chair and all. Lorenzo feeling the pain, he lay lifeless on the floor, still tied in the chair as Max tried desperately to get Sonny out before the PCPD arrived.

    “Let’s go boss, there’s a way we can get out of here alive but we gotta hurry!” Max shouted as he guided Sonny quickly to the escape tunnel, leaving Lorenzo battered and bruised on the floor of the warehouse.

    Sonny reluctantly leaving with Max and his men through the hidden door just as Anna Devane and her swat team storm the warehouse. Guns drawn and aimed at anything that moved in the darkness of the empty warehouse, the officers quickly cleared the area and Anna followed close behind. Lorenzo squirming and struggling on the floor, gagged and bound to the chair, he was discovered by one of the men in black from the PCPD.

    Robin laughs, she is so happy that her best friend is back in town. "I am so glad you are here Bren." When Brenda looks at her quizzically, she adds, "I haven't told Patrick yet. I want someone to be with me at the appointment. Because what if I'm not, I don't want him to worry or anything until there is good reason too." The two friends start to walk down the hall towards the ob gyn department and Robin shares her joy at the thought of being pregnant, and the fear of being pregnant.

    “Commissioner! Over here!” One of them called out to let Anna know they had found Lorenzo.
    Anna rushed over to the where the police officers found Lorenzo and asked them to untie and un-gag him from the chair. She saw he was badly battered and bruised and asked for the paramedics to be called.

    “Thanks but no, I’m not going to the hospital. I’ll be fine.” Lorenzo refused as he took his index finger and wiped away the blood from his mouth. "I take it you got the call from my company."

    “Yeah we did. And you look like you’ll be fine.” Anna said sarcastically as Lorenzo tried to walk away but buckled to the pain in his legs and ribs.

    Two police officers picked him up and sat him back down in the chair as Anna approached him. “Sit there and wait for the paramedics.” She instructed as she turned away and gave instructions to the officers who were with her.

    As Anna’s back was turned, Lorenzo quietly slipped away from the scene. He found a dark corner and pulled his cell phone from his jacket to make a call. He was startled after Anna comes up form behind and snatches the phone from his hand.

    “What the …” he snapped as he turned around to see Anna flip close the phone.

    “Don’t be so stupid Mr. Alcazar. Whatever you just did, call it off!”

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about Anna.” Lorenzo replied coyly.

    “Of course you do and I’m warning you now, if a dead body turns up in the next 24 to 48 hours, you will be my prime suspect!”

    Anna walked away from Lorenzo and headed back to the area that the officers were still searching, leaving Lorenzo the opportunity to leave the warehouse undetected.

    Robin's exam is over and Brenda is filling her in on her new job at Titan and also about seeing Ned and Jason. She is doing anything and everything she can to make Robin laugh, but Robin's face is clouded with fear and anxiety. The door opens and Dr. Kelly walks in, a grin on her face. "Congratulations Robin! You're going to be a mother!"

    Brenda squeals with delight and Robin smiles in relief. The happiness doesn't last long, as Robin's mind immediately begins to spin to worst case scenario. "How far along am I? What about my protocol? I know my baby runs the risk of getting HIV, but how much do I have to worry about it?" Robin beams with delight. "Oh Kelly, I have so many questions and I really don't know where to begin."

    Kelly pulls a chair close to her and says in a soothing voice, "Calm down ok? Judging from what you told me I would say you are about ten weeks along. Yes, your baby does run a risk of contracting HIV but there is a three-drug cocktail that we will put you on."

    Kelly takes Robin's hand and reassures her that things will be ok. "When the baby is born, within 72 hours, your baby will be put on the same protocol to prevent HIV and the success rate is very good. We will obviously keep a very close watch on you and your baby." Kelly smiles and looks down at her Robin's test results. "Now, you have no signs of kidney infection and your Pap smear was normal. I would like to schedule an ultrasound for you in two months. We can then tell if you are having a girl or a boy. I would also like to see you every two weeks instead of every month just to see how everything is going. Oh and I have a prescription for some vitamins"

    Robin expels a deep breath. "So my baby and I are going to be alright." It was more of a statement than a question.

    "Your baby has every chance to be healthy. With the advances that have been made in treating HIV there is every reason to believe that your baby will not have HIV. You know if you have any questions, you can track me down any time. Day or night you can call me, ok?" Kelly stands up and smiles at her friend, "Of course, I want to know the good stuff. How did Patrick take it when you told him you were pregnant?"

    Robin shook her head, her ponytail flying over her shoulders. "Oh Kelly, you can't talk to Patrick about this, promise me that you won't." A panicked Robin says vehemently.

    "Are you telling me that Patrick is mad that you are pregnant? He should know that no matter..." Kelly crosses her arms and starts to say indignantly.

    Robin cuts her off before she can finish. "Kelly, I haven't told him yet. I wasn't sure if I was really pregnant, and I didn't want to get his hopes up…or scare him away for no reason. Trust me…when the time comes, I'll tell Patrick everything."

    Montage Theme: "I Told You So" by Carrie Underwood originally performed by Randy Travis

    [Music begins to play as the camera fades in and out of flashbacks of Alan & Monica. Monica is shown sitting by Alan's bedside stroking his face and kissing his hand.]

    Suppose I called you up tonight
    And told you that I loved you
    And suppose I said I want to come back home
    And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
    And I'm tired of spending all my time alone

    [Monica envisions admitting her mistakes to Alan and professing her love for him. She appears on the doorsteps of the Quartermaine Mansion is runs into Alan's arms, promising to love him forever. She pours her heart out to Alan, who graciously forgives her and kisses her tenderly.]

    If I told you that I realize you're all I ever wanted
    And it's killing me to be so far away
    Would you tell me that you love me too?
    And would we cry together?
    Or would you simply laugh at me and say...

    I told you so
    Oh I told you so
    I told you someday you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in
    I told you so
    But you had to go
    Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again

    If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
    Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
    Would we get that old time feeling?
    Would we laugh and talk for hours
    The way we did when our love first began

    [Elizabeth and Lucky both imagine a possible reconciliation. They relive the first time they met with re-created flashbacks. They laugh at Cameron making funny faces on the couch. Elizabeth touches Lucky's hand in the fantasy and he kisses her tenderly, reminding her of a less complicated time.]

    Would you tell me that you missed me too
    And that you've been so lonley
    And you've waited for the day that I'd return
    And we'd live and laugh forever
    And that I'm your one and only
    Would you say that the tables finally turned

    [Lucky & Liz's fantasy turns to a nightmare when the camera pans over to last year when Elizabeth was ready to sleep with Jason on the pool table at Jake's. In the fantasy, Elizabeth sees Lucky enter heartbroken, but decides to sleep with Jason anyway, to make the pain worse. Elizabeth and Lucky snap out of the fantasy and with tears in their eyes, they sign the divorce papers. Elizabeth's tears flow like a river as she signs her name, nee her married name. The scene blends back to the Quartermaines. Monica realizes the person Alan's been super cuddly with isn't her. She's standing on the outside of the Quartermaine Mansion looking in at a family she lost due to her infidelity.]

    Would you say I told you so?
    Oh I told you so
    I told you someday you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in
    I told you so
    But you had to go
    Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again
    Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again....

    [Monica envisions Alan telling her he's found someone new and wants to move on with her, not Monica. She awakens from her dream distraught. She glances over and sees Gail watching her, arms outstretched. Monica slowly walks over to where her mother is sitting and lays her head on her mother's chest. Gail strokes Monica's hair.

    Elizabeth says something to Lucky that's inaudible by the audience. He bites his lip to keep from breaking down, finally admitting that the woman he loved all those years ago isn't the same woman standing before him now. He shakes his head and turns away. Elizabeth mouths the words "I love you," and is stunned when Lucky meets Sam outside. He hugs her and takes her by the hand. Lucky turns back inside and sees Elizabeth sobbing at the table inside. He promises never again will he let his heart be broken, and walks away with Sam.]

    At the end of the montage….Elizabeth feels a tap on her shoulder. Through her blurred vision she thinks she sees Jason, but it turns out to be Blake Barrington. He asks her what's wrong. Just feeling the need to be close, Elizabeth asks Blake to hold her tightly….and he does just that.

    Lucas stands in front of Carly and Luke. "Is someone going to tell me what's going on? Lucky called me and told me to come down here that Mom was here. She's ok, isn't she?"

    Carly's gaze quickly flies to Luke's. Carly tells Lucas that they need to tell him something, but now wasn't the time or place. Angry, Lucas said he wants to know what is going on right now. The door to the interrogation room opens and Noah walks out "Noah, will you tell me what is going on? Why is my mother being held here?" Lucas demanded of his stepfather. "No one is telling me anything."

    Noah walks over to Lucas and leads him over to the interrogation room. He tells Lucas to remember that whatever his mother tells him, that she loves him very much. Noah opens the door and confused, Lucas walks in. He sees Bobbie sitting there, crying softly.
    <HR>
    Luke paces back and forth waiting for Mac to return to his station. When Mac enters the room, Luke runs towards him and begins asking him for a favor.

    "Come on Scorpio. I need you to go easy on Barbara Jean. She didn't know what she was doing. She needs help." Luke says, attempting to appeal to Mac's goodness. "Bobbie wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone kill a man."

    Mac slams down the file he's been keeping on the Brandon Wexler case. "Had you come to me sooner, I might have been able to do something. But instead, you chose to cover it up from the beginning!"

    "I didn't even…" Luke grabs Mac's arm and pulls him into one of the hallways. "I didn't even find out until recently. I immediately spun into big brother mode and did what I have always done, that is protect my little sister! I'm beginning you man, please don't go through with this."

    "That's not Mac's call," says a voice from behind the door. "That's mine." Alexis walks out soon after and calls Luke & Mac into the observation room. "Bobbie's in a hell of a lot of trouble."

    "Natasha my dear, I didn't know you were going to handle this case." Luke forces a half smile. He knows Alexis hates it when he calls her by her birth name, but can't help it. "Tell me you'll go easy on her."

    Alexis pushes her glasses back onto her face and begins looking at the case notes. "I can't promise you anything Luke. I'll do what I can legally, but we must remember there are victims in this." Alexis asks Luke to leave the room so she and Mac can observe Lucas speaking with Bobbie.
    <HR>
    Lucas sits down, asking her what is going on. Taking a deep breath, Bobbie says, "Lucas, I'm sorry for hurting you so much over the last several months. You are my son and I love you very much. I don't always show it but I am very proud of you." She stops and looks all around the room, everywhere except at Lucas' confused eyes. Frustrated, he asks her again, what is going on? She reaches across the table and grasps his hands, "Lucas the night of the frat party, the night that Brandon was killed," Lucas tries to interrupt but Bobbie holds up her hand, "Oh God Lucas. I swear I didn't know this at the time but I know it now. This is why I am here. I was the one driving the car. I was the one that killed Brandon." Bobbie then flashes back to the accident



    Lucas jumps to his feet, sending the chair flying to the floor. "What? How long have you known? Is this why you took off?" Bobbie starts to sob uncontrollably and Lucas slaps his hands down on the table, "Answer me!"

    Bobbie tries to control herself and stop crying. She starts to tell him how that night she had been drinking and when Georgie came over and told her about the frat party, she became upset. She got in the car and all she could think about was wanting to talk to him. She was close to the frat house and didn't see Brandon in the road until it was too late. She stopped, but didn't really know what had happened. Soon after the accident, the memories started coming back. How she got home, she really wasn't sure. She was drunk and that was no excuse. She begs Lucas for his forgiveness.

    "Forgiveness? You want my forgiveness!" Lucas starts to pace the room, raking his hands through his hair and kicking the chair across the room in anger. "Does Noah and Carly know that you are a murderer?" His anger filled eyes train on his mother. "Wait a minute, Noah had to have known. That's how you probably got home and why you two got married, so he can't testify against you!"

    Bobbie shook her head and whispered, "Carly doesn't know. At least, she didn't. She might now, but I didn't tell her. I swear to you, Carly didn't know."

    Lucas glares at his mother as he flashes back to the immediate aftermath of Brandon's accident.



    "That's about the only thing I can believe, because I know that Carly wouldn't lie to me, unlike you who is ashamed of me and has been ever since you found out I was gay!" Lucas leans close to Bobbie's face and when he speaks, his voice is filled with rage.

    "I want to make myself very clear to you. I never….ever want to see you again. Don't you ever try to call me or get in touch with me. If I hear your name, it will mean nothing to me. I want nothing to do with you ever again. Do you understand me?"

    Lucas stands up and walks to the door, looking at his mother with hatred in his eyes, "I hope they lock you up and throw away the key."

    Alexis turns to Mac and tells him to prepare the tape for evidence. They have their confession. Alexis and Mac walk out of the room and see Luke. Alexis shakes her head and tells Luke she'll do all she can, but this is not going to be cut and dry. Luke asks what the most Bobbie can get. Alexis tells him she can't answer that right now.

    Bobbie is brought out in handcuffs. Carly walks up to Lucas and puts her hand on his shoulder. Bobbie mouths I love you to her family as she's led away. Lucas hugs Carly tightly as the scene fades to black.

Should she prepare to let go and move on with her life…with Kevin? Or should she be the dutiful wife and will her husband to live? Will Kevin wait for Monica? Or will he make a decision for her?

    The Quartermaines
    "The upcoming story with the Quartermaines is going to bring the dysfunction back to the center of the show," Co-head writer Ryan Chandler says. "We're going to see a side of Emily we haven't seen before, and it makes for some interesting conflict within the family."

    Emily declares war on Monica and she aims to undue any trace of Monica’s influence on her life. After shunning her medical roots, Emily declares she’s going to work for Tracy and Edward at ELQ. This creates a problem for AJ, who has used Edward & Tracy’s lack of focus on ELQ to make a power play in gaining control of the company. Edward makes a shocking decision that will change the future of ELQ forever!

    Robin's pregnancy
    Robin has to deal with the fact that she’s an HIV positive expectant mother. How will Patrick react to her news? Will he support Robin or will he walk? We plan on fully exploring the ups and downs of her pregnancy and how it will affect her relationship with Patrick and those around her. Thankfully, Robin will have her best friend Brenda Barrett back in town to help her out. This story has been in the works for well over a year and will dominate most of the fall air time. Expect a big write up regarding this story, as we get further into it.

    Co-head writer Tishy Smith helped craft the direction of this story. "Ryan and I were discussing scenarios for this pregnancy story when I had an idea. It is a complication that I don't think has ever been done on daytime. This is going to be a really neat thing to do, that's not only entertaining for the readers, but also informative."

    Nikolas/Carly/Jason
    Carly's pregnancy will proceed, but with Carly being Carly, there is bound to be trouble. When Carly faces a crisis, who will she turn to? Nikolas, the father of her child, or Jason, her best friend? Nikolas & Carly’s relationship will be tested to the limits as will Carly and Jason's relationship.

    Also…..

    Sam/Lucky/Jason & Elizabeth/Blake
    Lucky finds himself more and more attracted to Sam every day, but clearly she is hiding a secret…a very deadly secret. They managed to bond over their experience with Helena and just needing each other. How much of their bond is real and how much is facilitated through Helena’s control of Sam?

    Elizabeth and Lucky's divorce becomes final this October. Elizabeth finds out Sam's secret but will anyone believe her? Jason continues to fight for Sam, but will he regret his actions? Elizabeth looks forward to starting a new chapter in her life. Blake is determined to make sure it’s an interesting one. Could Elizabeth find love with her newest friend? And is Blake everything he says he is?

    Lucas/Dante
    Bobbie comes home to face the music. Lucas does not react well when he finds out that Bobbie killed Brandon. Expect Bobbie to be off the canvas for a few months.

    Throughout the fall, Lucas and Dante will end up together at the most opportune times. Lucas will befriend Dante and the two will become close…but as friends or more? As the leader of a major fraternity, star football player and student union president, Dante has a lot on his shoulders personally and academically. Dante’s sexuality will be called into question, forcing him to make a decision in regards to Lucas. When Lucas is the target of an Anti-Gay Hate Group on campus, will Dante stand idly by or do something to put a stop to it?

    The Mob Conflict
    The mob war to end all mob wars will slowly come to a head. Sonny and Lorenzo have danced around each other for months, neither making a bold enough move to launch a full scale war, but something will happen to a mutual party that sets both men off. Could there be a threat neither organization knows about? Commissioner Anna Devane will have her hands full, especially when all hell breaks loose.

    "This mob story will be an exciting story with lethal consequences," says executive producer Jennifer Snyder. "This is a story I'm having a hand in writing, and we're going to bring back a few characters from the past who have been known to have mob ties. The war is far from over and as in any war, it will end tragically for someone."

    Our plans to rotate stories in and out officially begins this fall. There are more previews to come, so don't think just because one story we've been doing wasn't mentioned means that we dropped it. We plan to phase in other stories at a gradual pace. Though we're not ready to reveal all of our plans for this fall and winter, we can assure you that part II of our previews will be posted in a few weeks.

    Part II will feature:
    Lorenzo/Anna/Jax/Skye Alexis/Ric/Darin The Teens David/Lucy More of the mob story

    "Alfred," bellows Nikolas in the study. "I need to speak with you." Nikolas paces around the study, very nervous. He calls Alfred's name again when his butler doesn't come fast enough. Alfred finally makes his way into the study. "Good, you're here. I need you to do something for me."

    Nikolas reaches into his desk and pulls out a box. "I need you to have this wrapped. I plan on giving it to Carly very soon, and I want it to be perfect."

    "I take it you'll be asking Ms. Carly a very important question sir?"

    Nikolas smiles and sits in his chair. "If everything goes well, I definitely will Alfred."

    The scene transitions to the PCPD, where Maxie is having an argument with Mac about her moving out of the house. Maxie doesn't understand why Mac is being such a hard ass about her moving back on campus. Mac tries to explain that he misses Maxie. With Georgie now in Texas with Felicia, and Robin living with Patrick, the Scorpio house is empty. In a rare moment, Maxie shows her sensitive side and hugs Mac, who's surprised at Maxie's sudden burst of emotion. Of course there's more to her hug than she lets on. As the guilt of her role in Brandon's accident continues to be kept secret, the harder she finds it to live with herself. Maxie promises Mac she'll visit the house more on the weekends, and may even bring by Serena when she comes. Mac says he'd like that…as long as Scott Baldwin didn't pop up too. The two laugh as Brenda makes her way up to them.

    "Oh good, you're here Maxie so I only have to make one trip," Brenda says after hugging Mac. "Since we all know about Robin being pregnant…..I thought it would be nice if we threw her a little surprise party after Thanksgiving."

    Maxie's eyes light up. "I think that's a great idea Brenda! We should so do that. And have it at the house too."

    "I'm not sure about that Maxie," says Mac.

    "Oh come on. You were just complaining about how empty the house is. This is a good excuse for all of us to get together. We can invite our close friends."

    Brenda and Maxie double team Mac and finally convince him to say yes. Maxie thinks it'll be nice to be around the family before she hits school full time again. Mac asks who would come to this party, Brenda suggests Anna, Patrick, maybe some of Robin's friends from the hospital. Nothing too big. Mac's face cringes when Anna's name is mentioned. The two of them haven't been getting along very well, and it might not be a good idea for them to be in the same room together. Maxie asks if anything is wrong with that list, interrupting Mac from this thoughts. He says everything is fine, and looks forward to getting together.

    On the PCU campus, Lucas has just finished working out at the school gym. He can't wait to get home and take a nice long shower, then head over to Kelly's to meet Lulu and Dante for some lunch. He says goodbye to his workout buddies and begins heading to his car. On his way there, he notices bright orange flyers on the bulletin boards and on the windshields of people's cars. A line on the flyer catches his attention. It reads: "STOP THE GAY SICKNESS – FIGHT THE 'SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE' OF SINNERS." The sign disgusts Lucas, who promptly rips it off the board and tosses it in the trash.

    Back at Wyndemere, Nikolas is playing with his son Spencer. Alfred walks in and tells Nikolas all of the arrangements have been made. Nikolas thanks Alfred for all of his hard work, and gives him the rest of the day off. When Alfred makes his leave, Nikolas picks up his son and holds him close.

    "This is going to be a wonderful night Spencer. Soon, we're all going to be one big family. If all goes well, you'll have two wonderful big brothers who love you very much. On top of that, you're going to be a big brother to the new babies. Yes you are." Nikolas kisses his son's forehead and then puts him over his shoulder, rubbing his back. "I'm going to give you the family I never had growing up Spencer."

    A wave of sadness comes across Nikolas. "You're mother loved you very much. Just like my mother loves me. While Carly will never replace Courtney, you will grow up having the love of a woman who will love you as if you are her own. And I the same with her children. This engagement will be a night to remember."

    The scene pulls away as Nikolas lays Spencer in his playpen. He walks to the window and stares out….unaware that Sam has been listening to his plans.

    It's Thanksgiving Day in Port Charles, and all around the town, you'd expect families to get together and reflect on why they should be thankful. In any other town, that is exactly what would happen…but not in this one. Thanksgiving is the one on few days in Port Charles, where the citizens are willing to put aside their differences for the sake of being nice. It's been a very tough year in Port Charles, and all across town, you can feel things are off.
    <HR>
    <b>Quartermaine Mansion</b>

    Alice opens the door to Ned & Brenda, who wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Throughout the Quartermaine's, there isn't too much happiness to spread around. With Alan in the hospital, and relationships with Monica strained, for the second year in a row there isn't much to be thankful for. AJ comes downstairs, hanging up his phone after speaking to Michael. AJ lets everyone know that he and Carly agreed that Michael will spend Thanksgiving with her and Nikolas, but will come to the Q's for Christmas. That seems to cheer Edward up, who's been in a very cantankerous mood all day.

    Monica enters soon after to a bunch of dirty stares. Edward promptly asks Monica to leave his house. Monica corrects Edward, saying it's <b>her</b> house, and that she was invited to dinner. Edward looks around at the family and asks who invited Monica. Emily comes from the study and says she did. Emily says like it or not, Alan would want her here. Emily instructs Alice to take Monica's coat and show her into the study where she can wait until dinner is ready. Alice grudgingly does what Emily asks.

    Edward shakes his head and glares at Emily. He gets up and calls for Cook, asking when dinner will be ready.

    Edward flashes back to the previous year, when all hell broke loose at the mansion: Suddenly a loud, piercing scream comes from the kitchen. Glasses and plates are heard being broken followed by a loud gobbling sound. To the surprise of Edward and the rest of the people at the Quartermaine Mansion, Cook runs from the kitchen and is being chased by a wild Turkey!

    Edward shakes his head in disgrace and walks to the door of the kitchen. He pulls on the door to open it, but it appears as if Cook has locked it yet again. "Cook, I'm sure you've taken steps to make sure we won't run into the same problem we had last year."

    Cook appears insulted by Edward's statement. "Last year wasn't my fault. You wanted fresh turkey…so I got you one."

    "It doesn't matter whose fault it was. I just want a nice dinner this year ok. So tell me…what is on the menu?"

    Edward hears Cook throwing a pot at one of the other chefs in the kitchen, demanding to see the menu. Edward pushes his ear closer to the door. Cook clears her throat and begins reading the menu. "Tonight's beef choice is thinly sliced roast beef with cabbage, carrots, potatoes and rice. We imported the best escargot from France and of course, your favorite Mr. Quartermaine….three cheese macaroni and cheese. There's your standard corn, biscuits and etc, as well as honey roasted ham and tonight's main course….Turducken."

    "What in the hell is 'turducken'?" asks Edward cautiously. "On second thought, I don't want to know. As long as we don't end up with a damn pizza this year." Edward shakes his head and walks away. The scene cuts to Skye and Jax speaking.

    "You know you haven't been asking my calls Skye. I'm beginning to think you're avoiding me." Jax says smiling.

    "Oh no. Not at all. It's just…I wasn't sure how our little…," Skye's voice gets low, "tryst would change our friendship. It wasn't so much me avoiding you, as me being afraid." Skye takes a sip of what's in her wine glass. Jax looks at Skye and she immediately puts his suspicions to rest. "It's sparkling wine Jax. Non-alcoholic. In addition, I've begun attending meetings again. No one needs to know about my little relapse…or our night together."

    "Shame on you Skye for wanting to keep me as your dirty little secret." Jax takes a drink and rubs Skye's shoulders. He notices Brenda enter the room with Ned. He excuses himself from Skye and goes to speak.

    "Of course you'd leave me to go to her….again." Skye rolls her eyes and sits down. Skye's self-jab at Jax is in reference to Jax leaving her for Brenda the last time she was in town after they were married. Skye turns her head to the left as the scene transitions to a vase of flowers in the bedroom of Luke & Tracy.

    Luke sits on the edge of the bed next to Tracy. She asks him how his visit was with Laura. Luke says it's no different than any other time. They speak to her, she's unresponsive, but it's still nice to be in the same room with her and the children. Luke says it breaks his heart to see his children disappointed every time they go to see Laura. They hope that each time will 'be the time' she comes out of her state, but each time nothing happens. Tracy kisses Luke on the cheek and asks where Lulu is. Luke says she decided to spend Thanksgiving with Nikolas, Lucky & Carly this year. Tracy gives Luke an out, and tells him if he wants to go back to Shadybrooke to see Laura he can. Luke turns her down, instead choosing to spend the holidays with Tracy.

    <b>Scorpio House</b>

    Mac opens the door to find Anna waiting with some food. The two civilly say hello before moving on from each other. Anna immediately runs over to Robin and gives her a kiss. Patrick hugs Anna and asks how she's doing. Anna says she's doing fine, but doesn't want to talk about her. She wants to spend time with her family on this wonderful day. Anna reaches into her pocket and pulls out a letter from her sister Alex and nephew Aiden. Anna says the letter arrived the other day, and she wanted to hand deliver it to Robin. Robin takes the letter and goes to read it in the other room.

    When Robin leaves, Anna pulls Patrick to the side and asks if they've been receiving any strange phone calls lately. Patrick thinks, and then tells her they have. It started a few nights ago. The person calls, the sound is very broken up, and then the call ends. Anna says she has an idea of who it is. She tells Patrick to keep an eye out for Robert. Patrick looks a little worried and asks why he should keep an eye out. Anna shrugs innocently and says that it's almost time to get a visit from him soon. He hasn't been around since January….and he's known to make an entrance.

    Upstairs, Maxie is getting an e-mail from her sister Georgie, who wishes she could be there with them right now, but is enjoying herself in Texas with their mother. Maxie rolls her eyes and e-mails her sister back. Serena asks why Maxie is so angry with Georgie and Felicia. Maxie says she's mainly angry at Georgie for leaving her to be with Felicia. Their mother has never given a damn about them before, and she isn't going to start now. The last time she was in town, she couldn't wait to leave. Georgie has this incessant need to be liked by everyone…including their mother. Maxie on the other hand could care less. Serena sees Maxie's bitterness and internally thanks that she has a better relationship with her mother than Maxie does with hers.

    In the den, Lucy and David socialize with Scotty. Mac enters the room and asks if everyone is ok. Lucy gives Scotty a special look and tilts her head towards Mac. Scotty clears his throat and thanks Mac for inviting him over. Mac promptly tells Scotty he didn't, that Lucy made him and if it were up to him, he wouldn't let Scotty into the city….but today is Thanksgiving and he can nice to him…even if it kills him. Scotty forces a smile and sneers at Mac, before walking out the room to find Serena.

    David's cell phone rings so he excuses himself from the group. When he steps into the other room, he answers and is surprised to hear from his daughter Babe, and grandson Little Adam. Babe tells her dad she misses him much, and can't wait to see him at Christmas. Babe lets Little A speak for a while, making David very happy. Babe gets back on and tells David she's heard the wonderful things he's been doing since moving to PC, and it makes her proud to be his daughter. David says he loves her and Little A and hangs up the phone.

    David looks up to the sky, kisses two of his fingers and raises them high. Anna makes it known she's there and gives David a hug. David says he misses their daughter Leora (the daughter he and Anna lost in 2003) every day, and with each holiday that passes, it gets harder and harder. Anna wipes the tears from her face and agrees with him. She says they both have a lot to be thankful for, one of them being that Leora is in a better place. Anna pats him on the back and walks him back inside of the house.

    <b>Audrey Hardy's House</b>

    Elizabeth is staring at the snow beginning to fall down on the ground. She feels strong arms lovingly grab her around the waist and pull her closely. She leans back for a kiss and turns around. She sees Lucky smiling and he pulls her in for another kiss. Suddenly a knock on the door happens. Elizabeth realizes she had been daydreaming. She puts down her cup of tea and answers the door.

    Elizabeth opens the door to Blake, who she invited over for Thanksgiving dinner. Audrey comes from the kitchen and gives Elizabeth's friend a hug. Blake decided not to spend Thanksgiving with his family. There's just something about holidays that scream "stay away from the Barringtons" when it comes to family get togethers. Steven comes downstairs with Cameron over his shoulder and hands him to Elizabeth. Audrey says dinner should be completed shortly. Steven heads into the living room to answer the phone. Audrey smiles at Elizabeth and Blake talking and playing with Cameron. She hasn't seen her granddaughter very happy for a long time. Even if these smiles are far and between, she loves them every time she sees one.
    <HR>
    <b>Wyndemere Castle on Spoon Island</b>

    Carly, Alexis and Lulu walk into the living room at Wyndemere with a snow covered Michael, Morgan, Kristina and Molly. The children love playing in the snow and as it is the first snow of the season, they couldn't wait to play. Across the room, Nikolas was talking to Lucky and Sam and broke away when Carly came in. Nikolas lovingly caressed Carly's protruding stomach. He proudly announces to his family that he can't wait for his babies to be born. Then he, Carly and the can be together as a family. Everyone smiles at his enthusiasm, except for Sam, who briefly scowls. She then smiles up at Lucky and mentions that she wants to see her sisters and Alexis.

    Sam slowly walks over to Alexis and Ric and hugs Kristina and Molly. She wishes them a Happy Thanksgiving. Awkwardly they talk and Alexis tries to forge ahead with making conversation with her oldest daughter. Sam tries her best and lifts her champagne glass across the room to Lucky who is now talking with Lucas. Lucky asks Lucas if he is seeing anyone and Lucas says no. Carly did tell him that he could invite anyone so he asked Dante. However, Dante didn't feel comfortable coming to a close family gathering and decided to stay at his Frat House.

    Alfred motions to Carly, quietly tells her that dinner is ready. Carly looks around the room and feels sad for a moment. A week earlier, she asked Jason if he wanted to join them for Thanksgiving dinner and he said no. He was going to get on his motorcycle and just drive. Carly shakes her head and smiles at Nikolas. She raises her voice and announces that dinner is served.
    <HR>
    <b>Quartermaine Mansion</b>

    Back at the mansion, Luke socializes with Skye, Ned, Brenda & Jax in the living room. AJ and Emily discuss what the turducken will taste like, while Edward reminisces of his time with Lila. Tracy takes advantage of this time to sneak into the study to confront Monica. Emily notices Tracy slip away and decides to follow her.

    Monica stands when Tracy enters the room. Monica says she doesn't want to fight with Tracy, but isn't above doing it on a holiday. Tracy tells Monica to shut up and listen. For far too long Monica has gotten away with hurting her brother and not paying for it. She's had enough of it. Thanksgiving is a time to be around people you love and care for, and Monica isn't one of those people. She kindly suggests that Monica get a call to perform a surgery and make her leave. Emily enters midway and tells Tracy to stop it. Tracy gives Monica a look, who thanks Emily for being nice because of the holiday and prepares to exit. Satisfied with herself, Tracy smirks and gets ready to leave. Emily pulls Tracy back and demands to know why Tracy had to do what she did.

    "If you're going to be working with me at ELQ, becoming my protégé, then you need to toughen up girl. You need to learn how to stand firm on the decisions you make."

    "This isn't about business Tracy. This is family! Father would have wanted her to be here. I was willing to put aside my differences with her for one night. One night!"

    Tracy tilts her head to the side and walks to Emily. She lowers her voice beyond a whisper. "That will be your ultimate downfall. Putting aside differences is to give in. To cave. That is not something I am willing to do in business….or when it comes to family."

    A part of Emily understands what Tracy is saying, but the other part of her wanted to do something nice on behalf of Alan. During their conversation, a loud crashing sound comes from the kitchen. Tracy rolls her eyes and says not again.

    Tracy & Emily rush into the main area of the house and look around. "What is going on here?" Emily asks.

    Cook runs out of the kitchen and hops on the table with all the food. "I have good news and bad news. The good news is the 'tur' part of tonight's dinner is done. The bad news….the 'ucken"….not so much."

    The rest of the cooks throw down their aprons and hats, and walk out of the house. Skye asks why everyone is leaving. One of the chefs say Cook's obsession with 'fresh' food has gone too far. One of the female chefs come out of the kitchen carrying a duck! The duck manages to squirm free and starts snipping at Cook. Tracy sticks her head into the kitchen and screams.

    "There….is a CHICKEN running around our kitchen!"

    "Is someone going to explain to me what this….turducken is?" says Luke taking a drink.

    "I second that!" Edward yells.

    "Turducken is turkey stuffed with duck stuffed with chicken. It's the new "in" thing," says Jax laughing at Cook.

    Dillon enters the room with a bag of food. "Umm….why is there are there live animals in our house?" Dillon surveys the mess in the living room, looks at Ned and says never mind. "I thought something like this would happen. So I ordered Chinese."

    "It smells delicious" AJ says. "What'd ya get?"

    Dillon smiles and holds up the bags. "Roast duck with fried rice, general tso's chicken and chicken lo mein."

    The animals look at Dillon and start chasing him. Dillon runs into the storage room and locks them in. "I guess they didn't like that their cousins were being served."

    "Someone get Dominoes on the phone! I don't see why we just don't skip all the drama and order pizza anyway!" yells Tracy. "Start cleaning this up Alice. We're having food delivered."

    Another knock on the door happens. Jason enters. He looks around and shakes his head. "I guess I came at the perfect time."

    "Jason my boy! I'm so glad you made it." Edward says with a smile. "Sorry about the mess. But don't worry. It'll all be cleaned up soon. And then we're calling for Pizza. Are you going to stay?"

    Jason takes off his leather jacket and tosses it on the rack. "I think I will. Alan would want me here. Oh, before I forget." He steps back out…is gone for a few minutes…then returns with pizzas. "I thought these might come in handy."

    Dillon & Ned rush over and grab the boxes. Edward tells them to take them out to the patio and turn the heaters on. Alice directs everyone to the patio.

    Jason pulls Edward back from walking outside. "I just wanted to say….Happy Thanksgiving Edward." Jason pats Edward on the back and then walks with Emily. Edward smiles, then walks over to the mantle. He picks up a picture of the family from the mid 90's. He wipes it off and places it next to a picture of Lila. Tracy appears by the door, and asks Edward if he's coming out. He says yes. Tracy reaches out her hand to her father. Edward and Tracy walk out hand in hand.

    Alexis strides in her office with coffee and Bobbie's file in hand. She throws the file down on her desk and goes to the door yelling for Ric to get into her office. He walks in and closes the door, asking her what's wrong. She is frowning and pinching her nose and remarks, "I just got out of a meeting with Mayor Floyd. Not only does he want us to go after Bobbie with all guns blazing, he told me that if I didn't get it done, he would most likely force me to resign."

    Ric clenches his fists together. "That son of a bitch. He has no right!"

    "Yeah well, I still want to see what Bobbie's lawyer has for us." Alexis checks her watch. "Bobbie and her lawyer should be getting here very shortly."

    Darin Palmer opens that door, an air of arrogance surrounding him. "I just got a call from the Mayor. He wants me to sit in on the meeting, make sure that the two of you are playing by the book and not showing any favors for Mrs. Drake." Darin sits down at the conference table. "I told the Mayor you two wouldn't mind."

    "Actually Mr. Palmer, since I am handling this case, I DO mind. You are walking on a dangerous line with me, saying that I will treat her differently than any other person that walks through this office. It is insulting not only as an officer of the court, but as a person." Alexis fires back at Darin. "So I would appreciate it if you get out of my office."

    Darin shrugs and says mockingly, "No can do."

    Alexis prepares to launch into a tirade against Darin when a knock on the door interrupts her. Alexis clears her throat, "Who is it?"

    "Scott Baldwin representing Barbara Jean Drake." Scott says as he enters the room with Bobbie. "Hello counselors, pleasure to see some of you again" Scott smirks. Alexis and Ric look at each other and Alexis raises an eyebrow.

    Carly enters Sonny's house with much concern.

    "I'm glad you came Mrs. C," Max says. "The boss really needs you." Max shows Carly into the den where Sonny is sitting alone in the dark. "I'll leave you two alone."

    Carly bites her lip and sits down on the sofa. "Sonny? Sonny….it's Carly. How are you?"

    Sonny looks up at Carly with dead eyes, before turning his head away from her. "Get out."

    "Sonny? Don't do this. Don't shut me out. Talk to me, tell me what's wrong." Carly walks over and touches his face. "You know you can trust me." She grabs his shaking hand and tries to calm him down.

    "I don't trust myself. Why do you think I haven't had the boys here? I can't protect them anymore! My son….Michael….attacked on his way home like he was nothing…NOTHING!" Sonny throws his glass towards the wall, shattering it into a million pieces. "That should have never happened. He should have never been affected by this business. I have no one to blame but myself."

    Carly can't really disagree with Sonny on that part. It's his choices that have led to his family being vulnerable. However, she doesn't share that with him. Instead, she chooses to defend Sonny and support him. "No Sonny. You have done the best you can to protect us. You're not perfect. You make mistakes. But you learn from them."

    Scott and Bobbie sit down and Scott opens his briefcase, asking, "Who's this?" Indicating Darin.

    "Darin Palmer, I am an assistant District Attorney here" he answers.

    Scott chuckles, "Good luck there Palmer. I've held the office of District Attorney for this fine city and it's, well, full of interesting people." He looks at Alexis, "Shall we begin counselors?"

    "Of course." Alexis' eyes are filled with compassion as she glances at Bobbie, who remains silent. Alexis puts on her glasses and opens the file before her. "Mrs. Drake, Mr. Baldwin, drunk driving is a very serious felony. A young man, Brandon Wexler lost his life. We also have a confession that Mrs. Drake made after she turned herself in. I also have to take into consideration that Mrs. Drake fled town when she knew we were investigating her."

    Scott folds his arms over his lap and leans back in his chair. "Bobbie…..Mrs. Drake turned herself in to the police when she learned that she was a fugitive. She is a member in good standing in this community and has saved countless lives at General Hospital in her years there as a nurse. Clearly you need to take that into consideration Ms. Davis."

    Alexis looks at him over her glasses, "I am."

    Darin intercedes, "Wasn't Mrs. Drake also a prostitute for a number of years? In fact, isn't her daughter Caroline born from one of her johns?"

    Bobbie grips the sides of her chair and half rises from Darin's quick verbal attack. Scott slams his fist down on the table, "Who the hell is this jackass? If you want to bring Carly into this conversation, who is it in this room that locked her in a goddamned panic room! Get this buffoon out of here or I'll toss him out on his keister!" Scott yells, the vein in his neck looking like it would explode.

    The tension in the air was thick when Alexis quietly demands that Darin leave. He nervously slides out of his chair and leaves, slamming the door shut. Ric stands up and gets Bobbie a Kleenex while Alexis apologizes for Darin. Bobbie dabs at her eyes and Alexis asks if it is ok to continue. Scott leans over and asks Bobbie if she is ok, that they can leave at any time. She says that she just wants to get this over with.

    Sonny looks to his left and sees his the man who's been haunting his dreams….his alter…Clone Sonny. Clone Sonny tells him everyone around him will die and it'll be all his fault. Their blood will be forever stained in his hands….and there's nothing he can do about it. That phrase plays over and over in Sonny's head.

    "I don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to you. You mean the world to me. You know that. If anything ever happened to you…." Sonny lets his voice trail off. He says his words very slowly, with much feeling. "I'd kill….whoever it was that hurt you….and then I'd kill myself for letting it happen."

    Carly can see the pain on Sonny's face. The light that would appear in his eyes from time to time is now completely gone. Just like it was during his last breakdown. Carly fights back tears, trying to stop her lip from quivering. "Nothing is going to happen to me Sonny." She says forcing a smile. "I know you'll protect me. You always have…and you always will." Carly knows Michael's attack is the straw that broke the camel's back. Sonny's had a hell of a year…first losing his sister and almost his life. This brewing war, being attacked in the park with Mike, and now his son, attacked on his way home from school.

    "I'll fix this. I promise. I'll end for good." Sonny whispers in her ear. Sonny gets up and walks upstairs.

    Carly, shaken from her encounter with Sonny steps out into the foyer. She tells Max to keep an eye out on Sonny until she can get Jason over. Max says Jason won't come. He's called and he doesn't want anything to do with Sonny or the business. Carly wants to stay, but she can't just put her life on hold for Sonny again. She tells Max to call her if anything happens. She'll have the driver take her right over. Max says will do.
    <HR>
    "18 months, out in six, including time served in prison, seven years probation and 1000 hours community service. Mandatory AA meetings in prison and out. Loss of her license for five years, restored upon successful completion of an alcohol rehabilitation." Alexis offers

    Scott shakes his head. "No jail. Probation and community service."

    "No way" Ric says. "We have to have jail time."

    "Ten months in jail, time served, 1 year mandatory alcohol rehabilitation, to be served during her time in jail. Afterwards, 2 months in-patient, 4 months out-patient. Loss of license for 6 years. Five years probation, 3000 hours community service and a $35,000 fine, to be used to establish a fund for victims of drunk driving." Scott shoots back.

    "On top of that, I want bi-weekly AA meetings during out patient treatment, as well as a written report from her case worker to gauge her behavior. If she is scheduled to work at the hospital, then she is to check with the Chief of Staff to get into one during her lunch breaks." Alexis offers back. "Final offer and I would accept it if I were you."

    Scott looks at Bobbie and nods. "I'll take it." She swallows and looks at both Alexis and Ric. "Thank you. You didn't have to do this…..but you did. Thank you."

    Scott and Bobbie depart leaving Ric alone with Alexis. He takes her in his arms and gives her a hug. "You did the right thing Alexis."

    "I guess I better get my resignation letter typed up soon because once the mayor hears of this, there is no doubt I will be out of a job." Alexis says into Ric's shoulder. She leans back and looks him straight in the eye. She leans up and kisses him softly. "Thank you for being you."

    PC begins with a scene of Carly floating in the water. Flashes of red and blue light take over with muffled sounds coming through. A bright light appears as a small dot, growing bigger and bigger as the voices becoming clearer. The scene fades to Nikolas standing over Carly in the ambulance holding her hand and talking to her. Carly is hooked up to a bunch of machines. The EMT's ask Nikolas to sit back as they try to work on Carly. The look of fear shows strongly on Nikolas face. The clock turns back as the scene takes us to Mac Scorpio's house.
    <HR>
    Everyone toasts to Robin & Patrick. A loud plane flies overhead. Something in the sky catches Anna's attention. "What in the hell?"

    Someone in a parachute drops in from the sky dressed in all black. The person slowly begins taking off the chute and the helmet.

    The scene alternates between the expressions of Mac, Anna & Robin.

    "Oh…." Mac begins.

    "My…." Anna continues…

    The person finally takes off the helmet. "Dad?!!!" Robin asks confused as hell.

    "There can't be a party without me." Robert says cheerfully with his thick Australian accent. "Come give daddy a hug!"

    "What are you doing here?" Robin asks with a surprised tone.

    "I wasn't going to miss out on the chance of pampering my little girl when she's expecting!" Robert says walking over giving Robin a big hug. Patrick goes over to shake Robert's hand but Robert pulls his hand away. "You……," Robert points at Patrick, "I'll deal with you later."

    Robert walks over to the table where the food is and mumbles under his breath about Patrick. Patrick asks Robin if he should worry about Robert's reaction. Robin tells him no. He'd have to worry if Robert was being extremely nice.

    Meanwhile, David, Kelly, Steven, and Liz get a page from GH while enjoying the festivities at Robin and Patrick’s party. Their pagers go off simultaneously and their heads turn towards each other and wonder what could be happening.

    “I wonder what happened now, especially for all of us to get the call.” David remarked as they all grabbed their coats and headed to the hospital. David kisses Lucy on the cheek and thanks her for inviting him to the party.

    Kelly asks Liz for a ride to the hospital, since she doesn't have a way there. Liz tosses her the keys while she says a quick goodbye to everyone. When asked why they're all getting pages, Liz remarks that it's probably because some doctors are on vacation. She promises to update Robin & Patrick on what happened at the hospital the first chance she gets.

    Anna gets a call informing her that the sting she's been setting up is going down as they speak, and she should come down to the docks to get an update. Anna excuses herself and says her goodbyes, saying duty calls. She grabs her jacket and keys and heads out.
    <HR>
    The scene shifts to present time with Nikolas riding in the ambulance with Carly and the EMT's. Dispatch says Carly's doctor has been paged and should be at the hospital shortly. Nikolas re-assures Carly that everything will be ok as soon as they get to the hospital. Nikolas tears up when he flashes back to seeing Carly being rescued…..

    Nikolas comes upon the accident scene as a lifeless Carly is extricated from the water and wheeled has towards the ambulance that is waiting for her. The paramedics give her CPR to clear the fluid from her lungs. Nikolas screams to them that she's pregnant. The paramedics secure her onto their cart and wheel her to the ambulance, Nikolas rushes to her side overwhelmed with concern and worry for her and their twins.

    Nikolas latched onto her hand and tried to re-assure her it was going to be all right, as he stepped into the ambulance with her. "Carly? Can you hear me? I'm right here with you, sweetheart. We’re on the way to the hospital; everything is going to be okay." The words escaped his lips as he sobbed. As the paramedics worked on Carly and got her prepped for the hospital ER staff.
    <HR>
    Present time…..

    Only a short distance to the hospital, the doctors arrived soon after the ambulance did. The paramedics rushed Carly into the ER with Nikolas following along side, still holding on to Carly’s hand. As the gurney approached the double doors, Nikolas was forced to stay behind. He was told only hospital personnel were allowed past the doors.

    Nikolas's fear is replaced with anger as he verbally rips into the nurse. "I am not waiting out here for Carly, I’m going with her! She is carrying my children!" Nikolas protested but to his dismay, the hospital staff had to enforce hospital policy.

    "Damn it!" He screams before punching he wall. "If you…if you don't let me in there, I will have you fired. Do you know who I am?! DO YOU? I am Nikolas Cassadine. My family and I practically own this institution you call a hospital! Either I get there to be with my fiancée or I'm going make sure you never do more than sweep floors in this hospital!"

    Elizabeth enters just in time to see Nikolas going off on a group of hospital workers. "Nikolas? What is wrong with you? Why are you yelling at these people?"

    "These people won't let me in there," Nikolas says with much disdain. "I have a right to be int here Elizabeth."

    "Wait a minute, that call was about someone you know?" Elizabeth asks, completely oblivious to the situation unfolding. "If it Lulu? Lucky? Did something happen to him?"

    Nikolas tells her no. He gives her the abridged version of what happened with Carly, and explains that's why he's so upset. Elizabeth politely asks the staff to let him through, and if there's any repercussions, she'll take the blame. Liz swipes her badge and takes Nikolas through the staff area before getting to the nurses station.

    "Wait here and I'll find out what's going." Elizabeth said touching his arm compassionately.

    “Thank you Elizabeth. I need to know what's going on with Carly. She’s alone in there and I wanted to go in with her …but, they told me I had to wait!”

    “Okay, you stay here and try to calm down. It’s going to be all right. Carly is in the best of hands.” Elizabeth said trying to re-assure a panicked and overwhelmed Nikolas.

    As Nikolas watches, other doctors rush past him and through the double doors, his mind starts reeling about what could be happening in there with Carly and the twins. He stands by the double doors and waits to hear something from Elizabeth, just as Jason steps off the elevator.

    Jason just received a call from Monica asking him to come to the hospital because of Alan. He checks in at the nurses' station and sees an upset Nikolas pacing back and forth.

    As he approaches Nikolas, Nikolas quickly turns around to see Jason walking towards him.
    "You! You get the hell out of here, Jason! You are not wanted here or needed! This is all your fault! If anything happens to Carly or our children, I am holding you solely responsible!" Nikolas shouted as he pointed his finger in Jason’s face.

    Jason stares blankly at Nikolas. The levity of Nikolas' anger taking a while to sink in. "What's your problem? And what about Carly? What's wrong?” Jason asked, ignoring Nikolas’ threats.

    "Is that all you can say? You are not at all concerned with who did this? I can tell you who did this, your mob pals did this, that’s who! They forced her car off the road and it went off the bridge, Jason!"

    "Carly was in an accident? Why was she driving? She doesn't like to drive. It scares the hell out of her."

    Nikolas says he convinced Carly to come to Wyndemere because he had a surprise for her.

    "Are you crazy? You forced her to do something that she's terrified to do. I think the one who you should blame here is YOU! If you loved her like you claim you do, you wouldn't have asked her to get behind the wheel of a car."

    Jason stares a hole through Nikolas, ready to beat the hell out of him. The two exchanged threats for a while before Elizabeth emerged from the secure area and put herself in between them.

    “Are you two finished?! Please this is a hospital!” Elizabeth snapped at Nikolas and Jason. "Calm down." The two stepped back from each other as Elizabeth regained her composure.

    Nikolas cooling down spoke up. "How is she, the twins?? Tell me they are all going to be okay?!”

    "Unfortunately I don't know all the details. Dr. Lee is with Carly now. All I know is Carly is surrounded by a team of wonderful doctors who'll make sure she and your children pull through." Elizabeth hugs Nikolas and rushes back over to assist with anything she can.

    Jason turns away and takes out his phone, placing a phone call to Sonny. Nikolas paces back and forth a nervous wreck.

    The doctors come out with Carly on the gurney and take her to the elevator. Nikolas tries to talk to Kelly Lee, but her attention is solely on Carly. She calls Elizabeth into the elevator with her. Nikolas overhears her saying if they don't get Carly stabilized soon, the twins will be at risk.

    The doors to the elevator shut as the episode comes to an end.

    Robin and Patrick walked out of the elevator holding hands. Robin had an appointment scheduled with Kelly for an ultrasound. For the first ultrasound, the baby’s leg was in the way and they couldn’t tell the sex. So now they weren’t even sure if they wanted to know now that they decorated the nursery like a farmhouse with farm animals painted on the wall. The previous three months had been very smooth in their relationship and in the pregnancy. So the two were in high spirits as they headed to the maternity wing.

    “Are you excited?” Patrick asked.

    “Of course I am. We have to start thinking of names though for the baby. Before you know it, he or she will be here and the baby will be nameless.” Robin responded.

    Patrick looked down at his fiancée as she walked next to him. He was constantly amazed by her. She was so petite, especially standing next to him, yet her belly was protruding so far out he was actually wondering if they were having twins. “If it’s a girl how about we name her Patricia after me?” Patrick asked jokingly.

    Robin laughed as she opened the door to Kelly’s office. “Yeah right and if it’s a boy, we will name the baby Robert after my Dad.”

    Recalling the day that Robert parachuted into their backyard as they announced the pregnancy, Patrick grimaced. “Ok you got me there.” He said as he took a seat.

    The two chatted for a few minutes before Kelly came out to get them. Robin undressed and lay down on the table. Kelly chatted with Robin as she starts the exam. “Everything looks and feels great Robin and Patrick. Everything is progressing on schedule. Now, we do have an ultrasound scheduled, if I can tell what the sex is, do you want to know?”

    Robin and Patrick glanced at each other, their eyes shining with love. Patrick responded, “Well, I want to know, but Robin wants to be surprised. So I guess we will go with the surprise.”

    Kelly laughs as she puts the cold gel on Robin’s stomach. She expertly moves the ultrasound wand so that the couple could see their child’s head. She moved back and forth and pointed out their child’s head, nose, fingers, and toes. Delighted, Robin and Patrick kissed in joy. Neither one of them noticed that Kelly was intent on one area of Robin’s belly.
    <HR>
    Anna walked into her office after coming out of her meeting for the last time with the FBI regarding Lorenzo’s disappearance. They forced Anna to reveal to them all her files, including her notes, regarding Lorenzo’s case and she had no choice but to comply. She took a seat behind her desk and reached into her blazer pocket for her cell phone. She had turned off her phone during the meeting, not wanting any disruptions. She sighed when she saw no one had tried to reach her.

    Anna flashes back to the last time she saw Lorenzo. Sonny & Lorenzo were fighting aboard Lorenzo’s boat when it exploded. An injured Lorenzo swam back to the docks with an unconscious Sonny in tow. Lorenzo swore he was innocent of everything Sonny has accused him of, and was determined to prove his innocence. He begged Anna to let him clear his name. Against her better judgment, she allowed him to do so. One final kiss took place before he took off for places unknown.

    ADA Darin Palmer knocked on her door and invited himself into her office. “I thought the meeting went well, don’t you?” Palmer asked as he approached Anna at her desk.

    “Yeah, real well.” Anna replied in a snarky tone. “I don’t like this Palmer, not one bit.”

    “Don’t worry about it. No one knows and no one is going to know. It’s under control.”

    “Let’s hope so because I enjoy my job and I savor the air I breathe.” As the two finished up their conversation, Anna’s cell phone rang. “Hmm unknown number” she thought and her mind raced to the only possibility. “Lorenzo?” She answered and was a disappointed to hear it was someone else.

    Palmer excused himself from Anna’s office while she began her conversation with the caller. “Charlie? It’s been a long time.” Anna replied. “You wouldn’t be calling me unless there was a problem.”

    Charlie was Anna’s WSB contact in London. Receiving a call from him meant not good news for her and she began to worry as to why he was calling this time. “Agent Devane…there was an incident that happened recently and I felt it best to inform you.”

    “What kind of a incident, Charlie?”

    “We lost contact with…..in the middle of a mission. It’s very………..that you brace………….for a ………………” Charlie’s voice begins breaking up over the phone.

    “Charlie?! Charlie you’re breaking up. Who did you lose contact with?” Suddenly the line goes dead. Anna ended the call and immediately began to worry. Did something happen to her sister Alex? She grabbed her coat and closed the door behind her as she left the office.
    <HR>
    Kelly set the ultrasound wand down and forced a smile on her face, however it didn’t meet her eyes. She told the two of them that she would be right back, to sit tight and she would return in a few minutes. Kelly hurried out to her front office and paged Dr. Steven Webber to her office stat.

    “Kelly, what’s going on?” Patrick followed her out and closed the door behind him. “I know you saw something on the ultrasound. Don’t keep me in the dark here; this is my child we are talking about!”

    Kelly crossed her arms and sighed. She had never seen this before and she wanted to make sure she was correct before scaring her patient. She held up a hand, “Please Patrick, I just called in a consult. Then I will know more.”

    Patrick splayed his hand through his hair, “Come on Kelly, just tell me.”

    “Robin must be wondering what is going on. Please go in there while I wait for Dr. Webber.” She watched as Patrick finally gives in and goes into the office.

    “Kelly, how can I help you?” Steven walks in and closes the door behind him. “What’s going on?”

    “It’s Robin Scorpio and I need your help.” She quickly filled him in on her fears. “I just need a second opinion on this. Can you look at this print out of her ultrasound?” Kelly points her finger to a certain area. “Do you see what I see?”

    Steven examines the ultrasound thoroughly. “Yes Kelly, it is. I don’t envy you telling them. Let me know what I can do to help.”

    Kelly wanly smiled, “Thanks.”

    Robin sat up, concern spread all over her face. “Kelly, is something the matter with the baby? What’s going on?” Robin reached for Patrick’s hand and subtly squeezed. “Please Kelly, you are scaring me.”

    The next morning…..

    Alfred walked into Nikolas’ living room and announced, “Master Nikolas, a Mr. Jason Morgan is here.”

    Nikolas looked up from his desk and shook his head. “If he’s here to see Carly, tell him she’s unavailable. She’s not feeling well today.” Nikolas said as he went back to his work.

    “Too late, I’m already here.” Jason said, walking past Alfred. Nikolas nodded and Alfred left the two men alone. “Is everything alright with Carly? Michael called me last night and asked me to come out here. He wouldn’t tell me what was wrong. Is it the baby?”

    “The children and Carly are fine. Carly’s not feeling well today so she is not up for visitors, even you Jason. Michael and Morgan are having breakfast and will be leaving for school soon. If you want to come back later to see Michael you can.” Nikolas replied stiffly, trying to usher Jason out of the room.

    Jason stared at him blankly. “No. I think I’ll stay. Michael called me again this morning. I came all the way out here to talk to him and I am not leaving until I do.”

    Nikolas leaned back against the arm of the couch. “Jason, we are going through an extraordinarily difficult time right now. I am asking you to respect that and leave us alone.”

    “I don’t think so.” Jason said as Michael came running into the room. “I thought I heard you Jason. Nikolas, Jason and I will be right outside and I will be right back to get Morgan.” Michael said as he led Jason out of the living room and outside. “Thanks for coming so quickly Jason.”

    “Yeah buddy, anytime. What’s going on?” Jason asked, concerned.

    Michael sighed and looked out in the distance to where the horses were. Then he started talking and didn’t stop. He told Jason that Carly was constantly depressed. She barely talked to him or Morgan. Most days one of the servants got Morgan ready for school and Morgan was confused, thinking that he did something wrong. She cried all the time and almost never left the nursery. Michael also told him that Carly looked awful, that she doesn’t eat anything; she looked like she lost a lot of weight and never went outside. Then last night, she freaked out and scared Morgan.

    Jason sighed. “I’ll go talk to her. I’ll see what I can do.”

    “I know if anyone can help her, it’s you.” Michael confided. “I have to go get Morgan so we can go to school.”

    Jason tells him to give Morgan a hug as he walks in the castle with him. They walk up the stairs together and Michael points to the nursery where they can hear Carly singing softly. Jason opens the door and sees Carly, holding Victoria. Carly doesn’t even look up until Jason calls her name several times. “Jason, what are you doing here?” Carly asked, confused.

    “I, uh, just wanted to see how you have been.” Jason said as he closed the door behind him. “I haven’t seen you for a while.”

    “I’m taking care of the baby. I have to make sure that she is ok.” Carly looked up at Jason and smiled.

    Jason was shocked at her appearance. Her blonde hair was unkempt and looked greasy. She was wearing sweats that didn’t fit, they hung off of her. “Isn’t she beautiful?”

    Jason sat down on the bed across from the rocking chair. “Yes she is…just like her mother.” Jason looked uncomfortably around the room. “Carly, look why don’t you take a shower and get dressed and you and I can go for a walk? It’s a nice day out and I think Victoria would like to go outside. I always liked to take Michael out for walks when he was Victoria’s age.”

    Carly shook her head. “No Jason, I can’t leave. This is the twins’ room and I have to protect them.” Carly protested, shaking her head. “I’m not leaving Victoria alone for a minute.”

    “It’s a nice day and Victoria needs some air. So do you. When was the last time you and I went out? Hell, when’s the last time you went out at all? Jason asked her. “Why don’t you give me Victoria and you go take a shower? She’ll be ok for while you get ready.”

    Carly let her hair fall, covering her sleeping baby. She looked at Jason, tears in her eyes. “I can’t Jason. I can’t leave her. Why can’t people just leave me alone!” Carly flared.

    “Because we care about you! You’re scaring your other children. Remember? Michael and Morgan? Michael called me crying because he’s afraid you’re going to hurt yourself” Jason paused as he let the words sink in. “He is worried about you and so is Morgan! When was the last time you paid any attention to them? You have other children besides Victoria and John that need you! I understand that you’re going through pain right now. Going through the loss of a child is something no one should ever go through. But you have to go on Carly. You are the closest thing to a mother that Spencer has. You have a lot of people counting on you, needing you to be well.” Jason said tearing up.

    Carly started to cry in uncontrollably. “What do you expect of me Jason? Do you know what it is like to watch your child die? No! So don’t tell me…” Carly stopped yelling when Victoria started crying. She put her up on her shoulder and started shushing her and patting her lovingly on her back. “It’s all right Victoria. Mommy got a little mad at Uncle Jason.”

    Several moments passed before Jason spoke again…angry that Carly seemed to forget the pain he was in when Sam’s daughter died. “Come on….it’s just a walk Carly. It’s a first step. Please.” He held out his hand to hers. “I promise you that Victoria will be safe and that we will stay in sight of the castle here. We’ll just go out in the gardens.” Carly looked like she was wavering and he said, “Do you trust me?”

    Carly looked torn. She looked at her daughter and she looked at Jason. Finally she stood up and handed her daughter to Jason. “Why don’t you go downstairs and I will meet you in twenty minutes. Ask Alfred or Nikolas to get the stroller ready, ok.”

    “Ok.” Jason held Victoria and smiled. “I know your Mommy says twenty minutes Victoria but she really means thirty. She’s never on time.”

    Carly laughed. “Oh shut up Jason!” She punched him lightly on the arm. For the first time in a long time, she almost looked happy.

    ICU: Luke & Skye
    Friday, October 20, 2006

    Written by: Ryan Chandler

    Skye walk into the den at the Quartermaine Mansion and sees Luke staring at a bottle of liquor. Skye automatically assumes that Luke has been drinking. “Starting early I see…”

    "Actually Blaze, I haven’t had a single swallow,” Luke shoots back.

    “My mistake” says Skye.

    “Yeah, your mistake…..so how was your date with our favorite mobster?”

    “It was amazing. We had such a wonderful time. We ate, we danced, and that was it,” Skye smiles as she proceeds to sit down.

    “Anything you’d care to share with me?” he asks. “No, not really,” she replies.

    Luke lays his arm on a pillow, “I really don’t know what you see in that guy. I mean, he’s nothing like me.”

    “He’s not you…exactly. Lorenzo loves me and wants to be with me,” says Skye as she looks at Luke. “I do love you Blaze. You know that.”

    Skye rolls her eyes. “Yes Luke, I know. But you aren’t in love with me. I won’t ever come first with you. I’ll always be placed behind your next adventure or quest or whatever it is that forces you to leave town so often. I need someone will put me first, who will be around for me when I need him. I need stability Luke, and you can’t give me that.”

    “I can give you a lot of things” says Luke as he edges towards Skye.

    “But you can’t give me stability,” she says as she gets up. “And besides, you’re married to Tracy. I asked you multiple times to choose me over her and you couldn’t. You like the sick little games that you and she play. You get off on it. You love Tracy more than you think Luke.”

    “I love you,” Luke says as he stands up.

    “No you don’t. You love the idea of me. I’ll never be enough for you. I don’t get into mess that’ll send you half way around the world to save me. I don’t scheme to get you pay attention to me. My life is quite boring based on your standards Luke.”

    Luke walks closer to Skye as she puts more distance between them. “Come on Blaze. Look at us. We’re good together. We have fun. And you know I’ll always be there for you when you need.”

    Skye tells Luke, “But I need more. What’s fun? I can’t live my life just having “fun”. You’re not good for me. I don’t want to be tempted to drink every time you take off. I don’t want to have to deal with being lonely when you leave because things are getting too intense here. I don’t want to use the energy that I have to fight with you, to beg for you to come home.”

    “So you think Lorenzo will provide you with that stability?” Luke says with a condescending tone. “He risks the chance of getting shot every time he leaves his house! He could be sent to jail! You think that guy will give you stability? If you do you’re more blinded by his appeal that you should.”

    Skye walks over near the door leading and looks out the window. “You’re right. Lorenzo does lead a dangerous life. But he’s here. And he leads his dangerous life here…not in Europe. Not in the Markham Islands, not in Greece, or Australia or anywhere else that you go to when you’re not here. Lorenzo has promised to be me first and not put the lives of myself or anyone else associated with me in danger.” Skye becomes more agitated as Luke continues to try and win a futile battle. “And quite frankly I don’t feel like discussing this with you anymore.”

    “You’re afraid. You’re afraid to be with me. I can’t change who I am Skye. I’m not the family kind of guy. That was Laura’s project. Not mine. I’m not ‘Mr. Romantic’”. Luke’s emotions begin to get the best of him. He tries to contain it but he becomes more and more angry the more he tries to hold it in. “I’m not the guy who’ll shower you with roses and candy and all that jazz. I am who I am. You should accept me for who I am and not who you want me to be. I can’t be who you want me to be. My love should be enough for you. My love should be enough for you.”

    Skye goes to leave but Luke grabs her arm and kisses her. “Look into my eyes and tell me that you felt something. Can you really look me in the face and tell me that my kiss meant nothing to you? Can you tell me what we had meant nothing?” says Luke. Skye pauses, looks at Luke and grabs his face.

    “What we had….is in the past. It may have meant something to me Luke. In another time, but we are done. I cannot allow myself to fall for you again. I will not set myself up to be disappointed once more when you choose other things over me. Go to your wife Luke. Tell her how much you love her. I know the only reason why you don’t show Tracy how you feel is because you think that there is some hope for us but there isn’t. I love Lorenzo. I want to be with Lorenzo.”

    Skye then kisses Luke on the cheek and wishes him well. Luke walks away in deep thought, obviously affected by what Skye said to him. He picks up the bottle of liquor on the table and takes a swig. Luke begins to reminisce about the good times they had. A tear slowly falls down his cheek as he takes a deep breath. Luke leaves shortly after. Skye watches Luke leave from her the window in her room and takes out a picture of them. She also begins to reminisce about their times together, especially the times when she was cast aside.

    “I know I’ve made the right decision. Someday you will understand Luke. You’ll understand.” Skye then holds the photo of her and Luke close to her heart and cries as GH fades to black.

    Secrets & Lies: Episode 28
    Tuesday, November 21, 2006

    Written by: Ryan Chandler & Na'Vell J. Lee
    Produced by: Ryan Chandler

    Opening Video At the Quartermaine mansion, Tracy walks into the living room looking over some folders that involves ELQ. She begins to check over things on her list when she’s angered by what she sees. She then gets on the phone to make an important phone call.

    Tracy: Yes, I am looking over these ELQ figures and they seem to have dramatically fallen short of what I originally expected. I put a lot of time and effort into this project, and to see these numbers is a disgrace to me and the company!........What do you mean Skye changed the protocols regarding the production for the product? She doesn’t have the authority to make such changes…….Oh, so my father gave her that power? Well, we won’t have to worry about her or him much longer. Now you get off your ass and put my original protocol back into effect. You hear me?

    Tracy then hangs up the phone and sighs out of frustration. She begins to talk to herself about everything falling into place when Skye enters the room and questions what she was talking about.

    Skye: Exactly what is falling into place Tracy?

    Tracy, startled that Skye may have heard enough to figure out what she is up to, hides the ELQ folder behind her back.

    At MetroCourt, Luke makes his way over to Carly behind the bar, not looking too pleased to see him.

    Carly: Oh, look what the wind blew in.

    Luke: Now is that to talk to me, niece of mine?

    Carly: When it is you, yes. What you want Uncle Luke?

    Luke: Well, I think you may change your tune when I have a proposition to make to you.

    Carly: And just what exactly is that?

    Luke: I need you to do your old uncle a favor. I need you to loan me Michael’s proxy for some ELQ business.

    Carly: Ummm….tell me why I should do that?

    Luke: Because we’re family. We’re Spencer’s, and we watch out for each other…..and because I want to put that old buzzard in his place! I'm done with him and his whole family trying to ruin me and my family.

    Carly: I’ll tell you what. I’m intrigued, but I still don’t see how this will benefit me or my child. I don’t trust you as far as I can throw you. However, I want to know what’s in this for me.

    Luke: Let’s just say if things go my way, you’ll have a few favors that you can call in with me. I know that you’ve been working on acquiring a company using an ELQ subsidiary that you just purchased. You do this for me, and I’ll make sure you get what it is you’re after. Now, what do you say, niece of mine?

    Carly: (smiles) Don’t screw me over Luke. You’ll regret it. I think we have a deal though.

    Luke: Great. Just great. Don't forget Caroline, Thanksgiving Dinner w/ the Q's.

    Carly: Oh I wouldn't miss this for the world.

    Luke smiles back at Carly, knowing that with her help, ELQ will fall right into his and Tracy's lap.

    Tracy: Skye, listen, it's not what you think it is. I was merely.... (she then notices Edward make his way into the living room, and is able to cover her tracks)...merely trying to get the whole family together for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.

    Skye: (sarcastically) Right. Like I am supposed to believe that you are actually looking forward to a pizza Thanksgiving.

    Edward: Well, I know Tracy here has her faults...marrying that punk Spencer for example...but for once, I think Tracy is actually looking forward to have some quality time with the family. No pizza this year. We will be having an extravagant feast to celebrate our family.

    Tracy: It really is about uniting the families. The Spencers & the Quartermaines….and those associated with us will dine in style.

    Skye: Wow. I think I just walked in on the Twilight Zone. If you really think that this wench is looking to share some family love, you really have lost your mind.

    At the docks, Helena is on the phone talking to one of her servants. She tells him that she intends on spending Thanksgiving with Nikolas and her great-grandson no matter what the odds are, and asks his help to make it happen. She then gets off the phone with him, and has a sudden flashback to the night when Sam, Alexis, Jason, Ric, and Lucky, were in the fire. She snaps out of it and proceeds to make her way to her destination. On the next GH: Secrets & Lies-

    - The citizens of POrt Charles prepare for Thanksgiving
    - Edward is surprised by how many people are going to show up
    - Helena is worried when her captive escapes
