    Endgame- Episode 19
    Tuesday, April 17, 2007
    - “Max!” Sonny called for his bodyguard.

    “You called me, Mr. C?” Max asked as he ran up on Sonny, he trying to catch his breath.

    “Yeah I need you to drive me to the warehouse.” Sonny replied as he tossed Max the keys to the limo.

    “Sure thing, Mr. C.”

    - Nikolas paces back and forth trying to figure out a way to do damage control. More and more people are learning about Sam and he has nothing to tell them. Carly's upset with him for being dishonest, Jason probably wants to kill him and Alexis….don't even get him started on Alexis. That's just a blowup waiting to happen. Lucky & Sam's entrance into the room interrupts Nikolas' thoughts. Lucky knows that it's just a matter of time until Jason tells Alexis about Sam. When that happens, they're going to want answers…answers that Lucky nor Nikolas seem to have at the moment. Nikolas observes Lucky helping Sam try to remember exactly what happened to her. Nik observes the tenderness Lucky has in his touch when he brushes the hair from Sam's face. Lucky tells Sam that he knows therapy has been frustrating for her, but she has to try and remember so they can protect her from Helena.

    - At the hospital, Patrick and Robin have just come out of a staff meeting. Two strong-minded couple haven't really spoken to each other since their friendly dates with Sarah & Steven Webber. Robin ignores Patrick while he's around, making sure she focuses on her conversation with Lainey & Kelly. When he's out of sight, Robin tells her friends that she's furious that Patrick followed her and Steven. Lainey suggests that it was purely coincidental; Kelly thinks Patrick could be stalking her. Robin half-heartedly laughs at Kelly's assumption, though in the back of her mind, Patrick's become quite possessive since Steven and her became friends. A few minutes later, Patrick arrives with a bouquet of white lily's for Robin. He tells her this is for the other night and for making a big deal about nothing. Robin begins to open up a little to him…until he says that he hopes she's happy with this apology. Robin shoves the flowers back into Patrick, refusing to believe that he's sincere with his apology. She storms away with Kelly close behind. Patrick can't believe Robin's upset with him again. Lainey tells him to be more sensitive to a woman's feelings.
    Max drove the limo around the backside of the warehouse to the backdoor as the supervisor emerged to greet them. Sonny exited the backseat of the limo and Max escorted him and the supervisor into the warehouse.

    - “I want details. Tell me all you know, right now!” Sonny barked as the supervisor reached for the shipment manifest.

    “The shipment of computer chips was to arrive at 10:45PM, in 3 large wooden crates. However when the shipment arrived, it was 1 crate short.” The supervisor explained.

    Sonny stood in front of him and all he could do was shake his head in disgust. This was the last time one of his shipments go missing.

    Opening Video

    - On the other side of the hospital, Sarah Webber was talking to Monica a little. It had definitely been a long time since she had been at the hospital. She recalled all to well about her days of interning at the hospital.

    “So, Sarah, how long will you and your brother be here in Port Charles?” Monica asked, checking her watch for a brief second. She wanted to make sure she wasn’t late for her lunch with Kevin. “I know Audrey and Liz were happy that you came to celebrate Christmas with them.

    “Yes, they were. I was so glad I got to see Cameron; he’s getting so big. To be honest, I don’t know how long we are staying. It never came to mind,” she said, fingering the rim of her paper coffee cup. “Did you and your family have a wonderful Christmas?”

    Trying not to choke at Sarah’s question, Monica quickly took a sip of coffee. “Let’s just say, the Quartermaine Christmas’ are always full of surprises.” Checking her watch again, Monica stood up from the small table in the cafeteria. “I’d love to talk more with you, but I promised a ….friend, that I would meet them for dinner. Tell your brother I send my regards.” Monica quickly made her way out of the cafeteria

    - At Bobbie’s, Noah was trying to get Bobbie to tell him what was troubling her. He knew it could be about Lucas, however, since she was not telling him anything, he didn’t want to make assumptions.

    “Bobbie, tell me what’s going on, please. I just want to help you.” When she pulled away, he could do nothing but watch her in despair. “Is this about Lucas? Did something happen?”

    Wiping her eyes, Bobbie took a seat across from him. “Noah, it’s not that easy to just come out and tell you what’s bothering me, especially when it does concern my son,” she said, wringing her hands together. Laughing ruefully, she took a sip of the tea Noah fixed for them. “How do you tell your best friend, hmmph, let alone your own son, that you saw two men having sex on a couch Christmas night?”

    “Oh my god, are you saying that you walked in on Lucas and Brandon on Christmas night?” he asked, totally shocked that Bobbie kept something like this inside her for that long. “Why didn’t you come to me? Why didn’t you tell me this?”

    Rolling her eyes, she, put her cup down. “What a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas, Noah. Pouring my heart out that I saw my son and his…” she could barely get the words out, “his boyfriend, having sex with one another, door open, not caring that anyone could walk in.” distraught, she began crying again.

    Noah took her in his arms and embraced her tightly. “Shhhh, it’s okay,” he whispered, rubbing her back. “You know you have to talk to him about what you saw. There’s no way you can not talk to him and tell him what you saw, or how you feel.”

    “It’s just too hard to tell your son that it truly bothers you that they are having a relationship with someone of the same sex,” Bobbie sighed. “I feel like such a hypocrite. Here I poured out my heart to my son weeks ago about how I loved him no matter what. Now, I’m supposed to tell him that I not only saw him and Brandon making love, but that I don’t know if I can truly accept his lifestyle?”

    Stepping away from Bobbie, Noah wiped her tears away with his fingers. “Bobbie, you can’t keep this inside. You have to talk to your son. You have to be honest with him; and with yourself.” Pausing for a brief moment, he, had a question for her, and he hoped she would be honest with him. “I need to know something, and I want you to tell me the truth.”

    “What is it?” she asked, looking up at him.

    “I need to know if you’re drinking again.”

    - A mysterious boat docks at the Port Charles Harbor. The three men onboard whistle twice, then throws another anchor into the water. A group of 5 men then arrive from the shadows to help. As the men begin unloading the boat, the lights on the harbor kick on and police storm the boat. First in line is Commissioner Devane, holding her gun locked in place on the assumed leader of the operation.

    Unbeknownst the rest of the officers, another man tries to sneak up on Anna, but she hears him in time and spin kicks him in the mouth before handcuffing him. Lucky & Cruz call Anna over to see what they found.

    Elsewhere, Lorenzo receives a phone call.

    “What,” he says with a stern tone.

    “The shipment’s been intercepted. Someone tipped them off.”

    Lorenzo hangs up the phone and smiles. He finishes putting on his shoes and walks into the den with Skye. Back at the docks, Anna praises Lucky for getting the tip that he did. She orders Lucky to go with Mac to bring Lorenzo down to the PCPD.

    - Sarah finished the rest of her coffee, tossing the paper cup into the garbage. Picking up her purse, Sarah decided to go locate Liz and Steven. As she walked out of the cafeteria, rounding the corner to the elevator, she ran smack into a tall man. Stumbling a bit, she dropped her purse.

    “I am so sorry, miss, are you alright?” the man said, bending over to pick up Sarah’s purse. “I really should learn to watch where I’m going, especially when I’m in a rush.”

    Taking the purse from the gentleman, Sarah waved a hand at him. “Maybe you should. You know what, nevermind. I’m sorry. There’s no need to apologize, it was my fault. I was in a rush to try to find my brother and sister; I didn’t bother to see if anyone was coming around the corner.”

    Looking at the young woman, the tall gentleman, Ric Lansing, immediately saw a familiar resemblance to her. “I don’t want to sound corny or anything, but have we met before?”

    - At the Metro Court, Robin somehow managed to dampen the mood during her dinner with Patrick, by constantly ranting about Carly. How in the world could Steven Webber, at some point in his life, have had feelings for Carly of all people?

    Patrick could sense that Robin was still thinking about what happened at the hospital and he too was growing weary of the constant talk about it. “Robin, can you put your hate for Carly on the back burner for tonight? Seriously, this is supposed to be a dinner date, and you are here talking about Carly Corinthos and how ‘yet another man’ has come into her line of fire.”

    Putting her fork down, Robin let out a sigh. “I know, I know, but the nerve of her sashaying her way towards us and having the entire conversation focused on her. I mean I still can’t believe he had a thing for her….” Robin was back in rant mode, when Patrick took his hand and covered her mouth with it.

    “Will you please stop talking? Seriously, just stop,” Patrick begged, motioning for the check to arrive. “Get your coat. I think I have a sure fire way to keep your mind on us, and less on Carly Corinthos.”

    Robin immediately perked up at the possible thoughts of what would transpire between the two of them. Quickly putting her coat on, Robin was more than happy to toss all hate for Carly out the window, and focus on the steamy loving she was about to get from Patrick. ‘What are you waiting for, pay the bill and let’s get out of here.”

    On the next GH: Secrets & Lies-

    - Maxie has a friend hack into Dillon’s computer
    - Sarah has some choice words for Ric
    - Anna and Lorenzo meet for the first time
    - Liz and Jason make love
    - Nikolas has a proposition for Sam
  3. Ryan
    Haylo everyone!

    I have some ideas on what I intend to so here they are:

    Bring the veterans back into the frontburner which include but aren't limited to:
    - Give Alan & Monica a front burner storyline that involves them rekindling their love
    - A love triangle between Tony, Bobbie & Noah. One that will involve a lot of buildup and explain why Tony feels the way that he does and why it took him so long.

    Bring back more family interactions
    - Which may result in bringing back some popular characters
    - Eliminate the "quarantining" of certain characters (those who never interact with their family).

    Eliminate some of the dead weight

    Recast 3 contract roles with their original portrayers.

    Write off about 4 characters

    One of the things that will happen is a major crossover with All My Children. Why that show? Well, since everything will be taking place on General Hospital, I will have to write something that will explain why some PV citizens are visiting Port Charles. There may be 2 characters who move permanately to Port Charles and vice versa.

    I am looking for ideas. This is a fan fiction for your enjoyment, and therefore I'd like to have some feedback. If anyone wants to help out, that would be great. Ideas, volunteers, everything would be great!

    Endgame- Episode 29
    Saturday, May 12, 2007
    Jason flings open the door to his penthouse and immediately grabs a bottle of liquor. Instead of drinking it, he flings it against the wall and begins pacing back and forth. After a while, he goes into his closet, taking out his locked box. After entering his code, he takes out his 9MM and sits down on the couch.

    "This isn't happening…it can't be happening," he says to himself. "Sam….how could this happen." Jason doesn't want to think about the horrible things that Sam may have gone through. Instead, he focuses on how things could have been if he had found her months ago. Soon after his phone rings startling him. He sees it’s Sonny calling and throws his phone in the other room. He doesn't have the time to deal with Sonny right now.
    <HR>
    Meanwhile, Lucy realizes how alone she feels. She has no one…no one to in her life to make her feel wanted or needed. She came back for Kevin but he's with Monica now. She asks the "universe" if she's done something so wrong that she deserves to be punished. She's nice to people, she does good things, yet there's nothing in her life that has meaning anymore. She hates to admit it….but she's alone. Suddenly her phone rings.

    "Hello," she says. "Lucy Coe speaking."

    "Hello Lucy," says a familiar voice. "It's nice to hear your voice again."

    Lucy's heart swells once she recognizes the voice. "Scotty! Oh my god, it's been like forever! How are you? How's Serena? How's London?"

    After a short silence, Lucy gets a response to her answer. "Things are going ok. I'm actually calling you to talk to you about Serena."

    "What about Serena?" Lucy asks curiously. "What's wrong with her?"

    "Nothing's wrong with her. At least nothing that I can help her with anyway."

    Lucy begins to get upset. She can feel that something is wrong and doesn't feel like waiting for Scotty to give her the set up to the story. "Tell me Scotty! I want to know what's wrong with my daughter!"

    "She ran away Lucy. She's having a hard time not being near you and I guess it finally got to her."

    Lucy tells Scotty to fill her in on everything she's missed…and he'd better not miss one detail.

    Monica makes arrangements for her and Alan to spend a night together at the Port Charles Regency, a place that still remains special to them still to this day. After getting off the phone, she promises herself this will be a night that will put her and Alan in the past….where they should be.
    <HR>
    Carly steps off the elevator at the Harbor View Towers. She's in desperate need to speak with Jason. What is she gonna do? She knocks on the door, but it comes open. Inside, she finds Jason sitting on the sofa tapping his gun on his head. She slowly makes her way in and sits down next to Jason. He looks at her, and she looks back. He tosses the gun and starts to break down. Carly decides her problems can wait and decides to be there for her friend…..


    On the next Port Charles: Endgame
    -Without Jason by his side, Sonny and his men attack Lorenzo's warehouse.

    I was originally going to post this at the end of the current story arc, but I've decided to let people know this ahead of time. At the end of the "Secrets & Lies" story arc, General Hospital will undergo a few changes.

    1. The name will change from "General Hospital" to "Port Charles".

    The blog has gone through a series of short name changes (over a span of one week), but we have decided to permnately change the name to "Port Charles". Though the hospital is a big part of the show, we have storylines taking placing all over town. We feel by renaming it "Port Charles", I it will further enhance our vision for the show. As well as make it easier for accompanying graphics.

    2. The "Endgame" story arc will not be a 13 week story as I originally thought. There are many big events that will happen during this arc that will forever change the foundation of Port Charles, I feel that it will take more time to correctly to the story.

    RECASTS GALORE!!!

    3. 4 roles have been recast. Scott Clifton will no longer be portraying Dillon Quartermaine. We will be taking the character and a new direction and feel that Scott (though a great actor) does not fit that direction. John-Paul Lavoisier will immediately take over the role of Dillon on Saturday, February 17.

    The roles of Michael Corinthos III, Kristina Davis Corinthos and Morgan Corinthos have been recast due to SORASing. Effective immediately (as hinted through off-screen actions), Michael has been aged from 11 to 16. Kristina has been aged from 6 to 15 and Morgan has been aged from 4 to 9. The time comes on every soap when the younger characters are aged for the sake of story. In an effort to try and keep the ages together, we have aged those children.

    Fans will notice that Michael and Kristina are close to the same age. This was done for the sake of the "Endgame" story arc and future storylines. It is not unheard for characters who are older than one other to end up being around the same age after SORASing (i.e. Dillon/Brooke Lynn/Maxie/Georgie/Lucas being around the same age even though Lucas should be older than all of them).

    Bobby Steggert (ex-Sam, AMC) has taken over the role of Michael as of last week. Kristen Alderson (Starr, OLTL) takes over the role of Kristina on Tuesday, February 20. Giovanni Cimmino (ex-Parker, ATWT) takes over the role of Morgan on Wednesday, February 21.

    4. The dialog/summary form of storytelling will continue. On days when we get behind, we will do breakdown summaries so we don't get too behind.

    5. We may be looking for another team writer. It is expected that one on our team will be taking an indefinite leave of absence.

    ICU Episode: "The Heart Attack"
    Featuring Alan, Monica, Kevin, Lucy, David, Liz, Blake, Jason & The Quartermaines

    Kevin opened the door to his house and was relieved to see Monica there. When he saw the look on her face he pulled her in his arms and kissed her lightly. She welcomed the embrace and returned the kiss. She followed him into the living room where he solicitously asked her if she wanted a drink. She declined, saying she just wanted to be with him. He asked her if it was hard. She sighed that it was terrible, but it was done. She didn’t want to think about it as she raised her lips to his. “Make love to me Kevin”.

    At the MetroCourt, Liz and Blake are shown eating dinner. Apparently, Liz decided to take Blake up on his offer and went out with him anyway. They appear to be having a good time. Elizabeth speaks to Alan as he enters the dining area. Alan, who looks very tired, speaks to Liz. Blake introduces himself and asks if he's alright. Alan says no, but he'll be fine eventually. He walks over to the bar outside on the terrace.

    “Pour me another.” Alan said morosely as he slid his empty glass towards the MetroCourt bartender. “In fact, just give me the whole bottle.” Alan poured himself another glass as he made a hateful toast to Monica. He downed the drink and poured another. He wanted to get good and drunk. She tore his heart out and stomped all over it. He needed to get rid of the pain. He needed to rid his memory of the horrible day so far.
    <HR>
    Hearing about Skye’s new position with Jax, AJ invited Skye to ELQ to discuss business. While she was there, AJ brought up the subject of wresting control of ELQ from Tracy and ousting her from the CEO position. They were so deep in discussion that they didn’t even hear the door open. “What are you two talking about?” Tracy demanded.

    Unfazed, AJ said that they were just discussing ELQ business. Skye pointed out that as the liaison between ELQ and Titan, she was here to talk business with AJ. Tracy shot back that she overheard them discussing whose votes they could get to oust her as CEO. Tracy said she wouldn’t allow that to happen and demanded that Skye leave. The three started to argue back and forth when Edward stormed into the room shouting that the whole floor can hear them and that they needed to calm down.
    <HR>
    Kevin and Monica lay in his bed, content after having just made love. They lay together with their hands and legs entwined. She kissed him gently and he pulled her close. Kevin talked happily about their plans for their future, maybe even the possibility of moving in together. Monica laughed and kissed him again, remarking that she had just left her husband. But yes, they would be together.

    At the same time, Alan is thinking back to his life with Monica. He thinks to all the happy times that they shared both professionally and personally. Alan's memory gates flood open as he recalls the birth of AJ, the acceptance of Jason into the family, the adoption of Emily, Jason's accident, their many fights and breakups, they reconciliations. Alan stood up, intending to head for the men’s room. As he took a couple steps, he gasped and grabbed his left arm. He fell into some bar stools on his way to the ground.

    At Kevin's, Monica feels a sharp pain in her chest. She winces in pain, enough to make Kevin rush over and see how she's doing. Monica shrugs off the pain, and instead asks Kevin to make love to her once more time.

    Alan writhes on the floor in pain, unable to speak, damn near unable to move. The flashbacks become a lot more violent, only increasing the pain and his chest. Lucy & David step off the elevator, on their way to enjoy a nice dinner when they see a crowd of people screaming out on the terrace. They rush over and see Alan on the floor. Elizabeth is next to Alan tending to him.

    "Oh my god, Alan!" Lucy shouts, running over to him. "Somebody call an ambulance! Please!"

    "One is on it's way Miss," says Blake, trying to calm down Lucy. "We also told the hospital to let the family know that he'll be brought into the hospital. Just exactly what's going on?"

    "This man is having a heart attack," shouts David. David and Elizabeth work together to try and keep Alan's condition from getting worse. Lucy and Liz talk to Alan, trying to get him to stay with them. David gives Alan aspirin and asks for an AED (automatic external defibrillator). The EMT's finally arrive to take Alan to the hospital. David and Lucy inform the EMT's they'll ride with Alan. Blake offers to take Elizabeth to the hospital in his car.
    <HR>
    “What is going on in here?” Ned walked in. “Mother, what’s going on?” Tracy yells that he always assumes that everything is her fault. Edward retorts that it’s because it usually is. Edward demands to know what is going on and Tracy tells him that she walked in to AJ and Skye talking about securing enough votes to kick her out of ELQ.

    Everyone started talking at once and shooting accusations around when the phone rang. Suddenly everyone's phone begins to ring. Skye crossed over to AJ’s desk and picked it up. She turned to the Quartermaines, “Shut up! I can’t hear!” She turned back to the phone and said, “Oh my God. Where are they now?” She was silent as the group stared at her and saw that tears were forming in her eyes and her face turned 3 shades of white. “Ok. Yes, the rest of the family is here. I’ll let them know. Thank you, thank you for calling.” The phone slipped out of her hand and she lifted her head, tears streaming down her face.

    "What's wrong Skye?" Edward walks walking over. "Who was that."

    Skye is unable to get the words out of her mouth. "Well don't just stand there you idiot, tell us what's wrong!" yells Tracy.

    “That was the hospital," Skye says wiping the tears from her face and tucking her hair behind her ear. "Alan's had a heart attack. We have to go to the hospital….NOW!"

    Edward stumbles after hearing this news. Tracy and AJ help him regain his balance and he waves them off. They rush out of the office together, seemingly putting their differences aside to rush to the aid of their relative.
    <HR>
    Jason had just finished visiting Carly and the boys when his cell phone rings. "Hello?"

    "Jason," says the voice on the phone. "It's Elizabeth."

    "Hey…what's wrong? You don't sound too good." Jason picks up on the distress in her voice. "Is something wrong with Cameron?"

    "No it's not. I'm sorry to have to tell you this. But Alan's been brought into General Hospital. He just had a heart attack."

    Jason reels from the shock, speechless. "I'll be right there." Jason hangs up his phone and rushes to his car.

    New Opening Video

    - Elizabeth couldn’t figure out why she was feeling the way she was. She loved Lucky; however, she still craved Jason. Picking up toys from the floor, she walked to the toy chest to put them away. Her mind slowly flashed back to her steamy kisses with Jason, the two of them obviously wanting to do much more. Next, her thoughts would flash to Lucky; picturing his smile, hearing his soothing words; his anger whenever he saw her now. Things were way too complicated for her. What she wanted now was to be happy; not only for herself, but for her son’s sake.

    The telephone rings, and Liz reaches for the receiver. “Hello?” she answers, wondering, or more like hoping it was Lucky on the phone.

    - At the Quartermaine mansion, Edward decides to call the family together to discuss how are they going to break the news about AJ to Carly and Michael. While AJ just wants to head straight over to Carly's and just spring it on her, Edward has other ideas that he wanted to run by them.

    "I suppose it should be Monica who extends the invitation... it is her house after all." Edward said snidely.

    "Yes Edward it is my house and perhaps you should not forget that." She replied sternly. Giving Edward the hint that he could be out on his ear in a flash if she so wished it.

    “Now, look, we have got to see Michael more times than you can count while you were gone, AJ. You coming back to town better not screw this up,” Edward says as he glares at AJ. “Which is why I do not want you to rush over to Carly. If we want to have visitation, I want Carly to come to us, have her find out from us before she sees you. It may take time, but right now, this is the best way possible.”

    AJ gets up and throws his hand in the air.

    “I am not one to sit back and let the chips fall where they may, Granddad. I take action. And if you think that I am just going to sit idly by and wait for Carly, then you are sadly mistaken. She doesn't want me to have anything to do with Michael, so what on earth makes you think that this idea of yours will change her mind?”

    - At Kelly's, Maxie walks in and sees Georgie working behind the counter. She tries to start a conversation w/ Georgie, but she doesn't want to talk to Maxie. Maxie, faking concern, wonders what is wrong. Georgie tells her it has to do with Dillon, that ever since Christmas, he has been acting strangely. Georgie excuses herself and runs out. Maxie then goes over to the table and sits down.

    Looking across from her table, she could see Lucas and Brandon talking together. It was time she put Dillon’s secret feelings for him out in the open. Maybe then Dillon would wake up and accept that he was jealous of Brandon’s love for Lucas.

    Letting a smile play at her lips, she thought back to her seeing Dillon embracing Lucas in a hug; seeing how distracted he’d get whenever Lucas would walk into a room, and the most obvious jealousy he displayed when he saw Brandon and Lucas being affected with one another. Yes. It was time to set the gears in motion; before Dillon even knew what hit him, Lucas would soon learn that his close friend had the hots for him.

    - “Liz, its Nikolas. I need you to do me a favor, okay,” he requested on the other end of the phone. Hopefully, she would comply and do what she was asked. He simply could not stand having both Lucky and Elizabeth avoiding each other. He also couldn’t stand seeing her around Jason constantly. It was time for Lucky and Liz to get together and talk out their feelings.

    “What is it Nikolas? I really have a lot to do today,” she said, hoping that the lie would be convincing.

    “It won’t take up your day, trust me. I need you to go pick up the belated Christmas present I got Cameron. I forgot to send it to him, and I really want him to have it,” Nik said, crossing his fingers, hoping she would take the bait.

    Elizabeth groaned softly, looking at her watch. “Can’t you just drop it off to me tomorrow? Like I said, I have a lot of things to do today.”

    ‘Liz, just go to Lucky’s and ask him for the present. He’ll give it to you, and you can do whatever it is you need to do. Like I said, I really want Cameron to get it today.”

    Turning to look at a picture of Lucky and Cameron, Liz could feel the tears beginning to burn her eyes. Without giving her sadness away, she agreed to pick up the gift. “Fine, I’ll go pick up the present. Does Lucky know that I am…”she questioned, but before she could finish her sentence, Nikolas hung up on her.

    On the next GH: Secrets & Lies-

    - Lucy runs into David while looking for Kevin
    - Maxie formulates her plan regarding Dillon
    - Monica worries that Lucy will expose her affair with Kevin
    - Elizabeth is reminded of her and Lucky's love when she shows up at his apartment.

    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.

    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!
    <HR>
    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.

    Enter The Chandler Zone

    I sooooooooo don't want to go to work tomorrow. It's not that I hate my job, it's just that there is nothing for me to do until our new director starts. It's the ideal job for someone who likes to be bored, but I can't deal with it for much longer. Yeah I have a great view of the ocean, and yeah the boardwalk is right outside of our gate, but it's been too damn hot for me to be out there. Plus the humidity messes up my hair. If I spike it in the morning, it'll completely fall out by mid afternoon.

    Anyways, back to work, I need so many things for my office. I need a new computer for one thing, I also need the city to network my office to the main building so I can have internet access, I also need the IT guys to set up my city e-mail account. I know things are slow, but jeeze, I've waiting for Internet access since April.

    We so need some young hot girls in my department. There's like nothing but old people near me. Now I don't mean this to insult the elderly, but it sucks not being attracted to anyone in my department. I guess the brightside is I can roll over to my window and check out the chicks on the beach. I must say, South Jersey has some pretty hot girls. Gotta love them.

    Anyways, today we have a meeting with the new director after the board of director's meeting. The new director starts October 3rd if I'm not mistaken. Thank god she's coming. I hope I won't have any problems with her. The past interim director didn't like the fact that I worked for city hall at my young age. It's not my fault I can type better than most of the people at City Hall.

    I noticed Na'Velle posted his blog entry and mentioned Rockland County. I am also a part of Rockland County. I play Elijah Phillips. Now I've been playing a guessing game with the creator of RC (Roger Newcomb) about Elijah's past. I think Elijah is the illegitimate son of the powerful Paul Ramos. I have no proof to back this up, it's just a feeling. Anyways, I want to thank Roger for letting me be a part of the web soap. I personally hate my phone voice, so I try to play with it a lot. I guess he never chooses the version that I like, lol. I've been told I'm getting better though. It's kinda hard to play a scene one sidedly. Anyways, here's a plug for Rockland County! Rockland County airs Wednesday's and Friday's at 9:45am ET on Radio Loger and repeats on Soap Opera Radio (Live 365) throughout the week. Each episode is about 10 minutes long. RC is also available on podcast. Check out the Rockland County Website

    Yeah, that's what's happens to me. I jump from topic to topic and begin rambling like I am now. The readers will get used to it. It happens a lot. Later on today I'll be covering the personal issue that kept me away for almost two weeks.

    Chandler Out!

    Endgame- Episode 11
    April 1, 2007
    Opening Video

    - At the PCPD, Mac continues to struggle with not being the man in charge. It’s not that he is ashamed to be working with the men that he used to lead, but it feels like such a slap in the face to be replaced by someone who hasn’t lived in Port Charles for over 10 years. It’s insulting.

    Mac’s thoughts are interrupted when Anna arrives with the Mayor and DA Davis. Mac is prepared for a fight, but instead is asked to take on the hit and run accident that led to the death of Brandon Wexler. Anna tells Mac that this will be a big chance for him to regain the confidence of the Mayor and set an example for the other detectives in the department. Alexis offers Mac the full resources of her office and will assist with anything he needs. The mayor just scowls and walks out with Alexis. Before Anna leaves, Mac coldly tells Anna not to call in any favors for him anymore. He tells her that he’s perfectly able of winning back the support of the mayor.

    - When Michael comes down the stairs, he was very glad that Carly was not there. This has not been a very good week for him. Courtney died the other day, his uncle Lucas hasn’t been seen since Brandon died and on top of that….he still couldn't believe that his mother not only grounded him, but that his own father agreed with her. Sitting on the couch, he opted to turn on the television; he had nothing else really to do. He did not feel like playing with Morgan, nor did he feel like playing any of the video games he had. So, what other options did he have?

    Anger set in as he replayed the scene from earlier in the week. The minute he saw the car pull up to the school, and Sonny step out, he knew something was up.

    Michael: Dad, what are you doing here?

    Sonny: Oh, I thought I would change my routine today; decided to come and pick up my son.

    Michael: (eyebrows scrunching a little) Really? The only times you pick me up have been something important needs to be discussed. What's going on dad?

    Sonny: Michael, come on bud, just get in the car, so I can drive you home. I'll tell you when we get there.

    Moments later, the three of them were sitting on the couch. Carly started off the conversation with an envelope in her hand. Michael immediately winced when he heard her tone. She definitely was ready to lay the law.

    Carly: Michael, I got this letter in the mail a day ago. Do you want to know what it is?

    Michael: How in the hell should I know? You got the letter, not me.

    Sonny: Don't talk to your mother that way, Mike. She asked you a question. Do you have any idea what the letter could be about?

    Michael: No. I do not know what the letter is about.

    Carly: Okay, then I’ll tell you. It's about your lack of concentration in your studies. It's about your eruptive behavior while in class; basically Michael, this letter, right here tells me that you need some guidance and rules to get you back on track.

    Michael: Oh come on mom, everybody goofs off in school. Plus, the grades aren't that bad. I just had some tough assignments. I don't see why they wasted their time mailing out some stupid letter and killing some trees to do it.

    Sonny: It doesn't matter whether it was a waste in them sending a letter; that isn't the point. The point here is this; you are being disruptive in class, causing fights, and slacking off in your studies. Your mother and I won't allow that.

    Carly: Starting tonight, you are grounded. You will go to school, go to soccer practice, come home and study. When I see some improvement in your attitude, then your father and I will determine if the grounding should be lifted.

    Michael: WHAT! You can't be serious. You're grounding me? For what? A few lousy grades. Mom, get real.

    Carly: Don't you raise your voice to me, Michael. You have been pushing my buttons for weeks now, and I'm going to put an end to it. As I said, you are grounded until we decide you have improved your attitude and your schoolwork. Case closed.

    Michael: It doesn't matter what I say does it? Just as long as the two of you come out right in the long run. Just because you two have screwed up your lives, don't take it out on me. You two wrote the book on disorderly conduct.

    Sonny: That is enough! I will not sit here and allow you to disrespect me or your mother.

    Michael: You could always go home…..then allow me to disrespect my mother. (Waving his hands in the air) Are we done? Good, I'm going to my room. I just want to thank you both for messing up my life. Great job you guys. Really. Bravo.

    Michael still couldn't believe that his parents teamed up and grounded him. Getting up from the couch, he prepared to go back upstairs, when he heard a knock on the door. Opening it, he was face-to-face with the last person he wanted to see.

    Lucas' Love Interest Revealed; Role Recast!
    By: Cam Corder


    Actor and model Marco Dapper (Troy, Eating Out 2)has joined the cast in the contract role of "Dante Brennan ." Casting execs have spent months trying to find the right person for the role, and though Marco was the original frontrunner, the show wanted to be sure they chose the right person. The character of Dante will eventually become a love interest for Lucas. The writers are adamant on telling their story, but it won't be an easy road. Dante leads dual lives. The life his family expects him to lead, and the life that he's forced to hide. Also, unlike before, Lucas' love interest will exist beyond Lucas and his circle of friends & family. There will be a lot of interaction with other characters on the cast. Dapper will first air as "Dante" next Wednesday.
    <HR>
    UPDATE:

    *ahem*

    Earlier, we announced some casting news. Well....the powers that be had a closed door session and sources say one writer/producer was ready to walk after news broke of 2 recasts that she did not approve of. All writers on "Port Charles" have a creative control clause and she decided to exercise that clause. This incident has delayed production on "After Midnight" as well as Port Charles.

    To clarify a few things...

    1. Jackie Zeman has NOT been fired. Her current storyline will dictate a short-term exit (about 2 weeks) and during that time, her story will be driven by other characters.

    2. After some thought, we have decided that Jeff Branson will NOT play Blake Barrington, instead, the role will be recast with Joshua Casaubon.

    3. One of the main things TPTB fought about was the termination of Nolan North. Apparently it wasn't a good idea to attempt to fire another writers favorite actor while she was on vacation. They decided that Nolan will not be fired, as he is going to be a very big part of the "After Midnight" spinoff. Maybe one person has now learned not to screw around with a FOJ.
    <HR>

    Port Charles has come to terms with Justin Hartley (Blake Barrington) to release him from the show. The executive producer wanted Justin to sign a contract, but the actor wanted to keep his options open for primetime work. In a statement released earlier today, Ryan Chandler, head writer & executive producer for Port Charles said, "We appreciate all of the hard work that Justin put into working with us. It's a shame that we were unable to come to terms on a contract, but do not worry. We are keeping Justin in mind for a role on our primetime spinoff 'After Midnight.'"

    Josh Casaubon (ex-Hugh, OLTL) has been tapped to play Blake. Casaubon is known for playing Hugh Hughes on OLTL. And yes....he meets the approval of TPTB. Casaubon began taping episodes 3 weeks ago and will begin airing as "Blake" next week. Expect the blossoming relationship between Blake & Elizabeth to continue.
    <HR>

    Michael Park (Jack, ATWT) has joined the cast as Assistant District Attorney Darin Palmer. Palmer is a rival of Ric's from law school. Palmer is brought in by Mayor Floyd to oversee the possible Corinthos/Alcazar case due to a conflict of interest with Ric and Alexis.
    <HR>
    Additional Tidbits:
    Gina Tognoni will make her "in town" debut as Brenda Barrett on Friday, August 3. Tognoni first aired a few weeks ago when Robin had a conversation with Brenda.

    Emily Quartermaine (played by Jennifer Ferrin) returns home to deal with a family emergency on Thursday, July 26.

    Jackie Zeman (Bobbie) will be off screen in the near future dictated by her current storyline.

    Ryan Carnes (Evan Koslosky) has been let go from the show. The new writing team dropped his original story and has no use for the character.

    Stephanie Gatschet (Serena) and Scott Bailey (Hunter) have been demoted to recurring status. Changes in the writing team prompted a change in their story. The two are expected to stick around for the forseeable future, interacting with Lucy, Kevin and the younger set.

    A new version of the opening will debut next Wednesday.

    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.
    <HR>
    Meanwhile, Detective Cruz Rodriquez gives Mac a status update on the Bobbie Spencer-Drake investigation. He lets her know that Bobbie seems to have disappeared. They've searched the entire city for her, yet no one has seen her since the day he (Mac) went over to her house. Mac begins to put two and two together and realizes that Bobbie must have went underground. 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.

    Interview With The Headwriter

    By Val. E. West

    Sweeps is over and what a month it was for General Hospital on SONBC. The show's been holding strong in the ratings and storylines seem to be progressing at a very good pace. Now with some permanent backup, can the writers continue their momentum? SONBC reporter Val E. West recently conducted an interview with one of the head writers at the show.

    VW: Thanks for sitting down with me to do this interview.

    RC: No problem. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak.

    VW: You've been writing for GH for a while now. What are some of the mistakes you've made and things you would do over?

    RC: For one, I wouldn't have taken such a long sabbatical over the summer. There were so many things that should have happened this summer that affected some storylines now. For instance, I had this really huge story planned out for Peyton List's character Jamie, but once she started airing, we realized that it was a waste to bring the character on. If we don't like the way a character is working out, we'll can it. We aren't going to force the viewers to watch a character they don't care about. That's unfair to them and us.

    VW: Was that the only mistake?

    RC: No it's not. The original focus of the first arc "Secrets & Lies" changed dramatically since it was originally thought of. Originally Sam, Helena & Alexis were to be the main focus, but we realized that we couldn't have the show revolve around those three. It has been done in the past under previous regimes with certain groups of characters and it turned many fans off to it. Also, we recasted the Diego character with Tyler Hoechlin, but never did anything with the character once he joined the show. Again, that was bad planning on our part but we can't do anything about it now.

    VW: I was told that many backstage are unhappy with the recent cuts and feel their job is next. What do you have to say about that?

    RC: When actors are let go, especially those who are well liked, it will create some sadness and anger, but as I said when those cuts were announced, many of them will be back later down the line. We just didn't have any story for them at this time and it would be unfair to keep them around and reduce them to extras.

    VW: One thing I can say is the show has been a lot more balanced. Did you and your writers specifically go for that angle?

    RC: Yes we did. There is no reason why everyone who is on contract can't be in a storyline. Usually when that happens, it's a big umbrella storyline, but these are separate storylines that cross over into each other on a weekly basis. Even characters who didn't have a storyline in the beginning of the arc are beginning to have one now. Look at Mac for instance, he didn't do much in the beginning, but recently we've been laying the groundwork for his storyline. If you have a big cast it is your responsibility to write for them and make their stories connect. You can't have a bunch of storylines that don't flow and keep characters islanded off somewhere. That's the sign of a bad writer.

    VW: I'm hearing rumors of a cross-over with "As Days Go By". Is there truth to those rumors?

    RC: Would our shows be mentioning each other's characters and companies if we weren't gearing up for some kind of crossover?

    VW: You answered my question with a question.

    RC: I sure did.

    VW: Lol, moving on.

    RC: Yes, let's do so, lol

    VW: What will the title of the next arc be?

    RC: Nothing is concrete at this time, but we're toying with the names "Fated," "Endgame," "Armageddon," but plans could change at any time.

    VW: Have you all begun penning stories for the next arc?

    RC: Yes, we have. I am very confident that my team and I will do a good job.

    VW: You have any previews for us for the next arc?

    RC: I can say that this will be the storyline that gets Sonny & Jason out of the mob. It'll also open up a new chapter in the Anna/David relationship and lay the groundwork for future storyline.

    VW: Can you give us a preview of what's to come this month.

    RC: Sure. Bobbie and Lucas' relationship will be repaired….for the time being. There's an event that will happen that will send Bobbie back a few steps. Dillon will find himself spilling more of his feelings than he expected. Monica & Alan's relationship will switch roles for a while. Carly & Nikolas finally address their feelings for one another. There will be no Christmas spirit for Tracy who takes her frustration with Luke out on everyone else. The storyline involving Sam takes an interesting twist that the audience will be in on but not the other characters (or will they). And the end of the month will foster in the surprise return of two characters and the return of one announced.

    After my computer crashed, I thought that I would never do an opening video again. I had tons of HQ openings on my computer that were lost and didn't think I'd ever get them back. Thanks to some great friends who heard me not only on SON & The Dish ask about the openings from a popular site, and to another friend who heard me on the radio show talking about it, I was sent many of the openings that I lost. I want to thank those people (and you know who you are) for doing this for me.

    Episode 19: The Flashbacks

    -HARBOR VIEW TOWERS: PENTHOUSE 3A-

    [Lucas awakes to the sound of….nothing. For the first time in weeks, he feels as if a weight has been lifted off of his shoulders. Surely he’s troubled that his secret came out the way that it did, but he now knows that he has to work on living his life as an openly gay teen. He walks downstairs and finds a note that Carly left him:

    ------>Lucas,
    I came in to check up on you and saw that you were sleeping. There’s money in the top drawer, food in the fridge, and clothes for you in the closet (I went shopping for ya ^__^). Don’t let what happened last night bring you down. Feel free to stay as long as you’d like and remember that if you need anything, call me. If I’m unavailable, just ask Jason.

    -Carly<-------


    -BOBBIE’S HOUSE-

    [bobbie awakes to the sound of Tony slamming her door]

    Bobbie: ……GOD TONY!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!

    Tony: Well I see that you’re awake now. We need to talk.



    Bobbie: About what?

    Tony: Don’t you remember what happened last night?

    [bobbie looks at Tony for a minute, then begins flashing back to the reveal of Lucas’ secret. “Oh God” she says when she realizes what she did.]

    Bobbie: You know what Tony, I can’t deal with this right now. I already went through this with Luke. Oh man Luke…….

    [bobbie remembers the heated confrontation she had with Luke following her blow up. Bobbie remembers completely ripping into Luke as a father, proclaiming that he was there for Lucky, but doesn’t give a damn about Lulu. Bobbie asks Tony to leave, but Tony tells her he can’t leave just yet.]

    -SONNY’S-

    [Carly walks right into Sonny’s house and calls him downstairs. He slowly makes his way down, clueless as to why she’s here. She tells Sonny that she is letting Lucas stay at the Penthouse until he’s ready to leave and fills him in why. Her conversation is interrupted when Kristina runs downstairs. Carly asks why Kristina is there (knowing that it isn’t Sonny’s day to have her) and learns that Alexis has disappeared. Sonny tells her though he truly wants to believe that his brother had nothing to do with it, history speaks for itself and didn’t want his daughter there with him.]

    -HARBOR VIEW TOWERS-

    [Lucas hears a knock on the door and is surprised to see Lulu and baby Cameron at the door. Lucas invites them in; Lulu is impressed with his new living quarters. She tells Lucas that she’s babysitting Cam for the day, but wanted to check up on him and back sure he was ok. Lucas tells her considering what happened to him last night, it couldn’t get much worse.]

    -KELLY’S-

    [Nikolas and Lucky are sitting inside Kelly’s talking about the recent happenings in their life. Nik informs Lucky about the Alexis situation; Lucky informs Nik about Lucas. Mike brings them their order and asks how Emily is doing. They both say they haven’t heard from Emily for a while now, but knows that she’s on vacation.]

    -UPSTATE NEW YORK-

    [A woman is shown lying in a hospital bed. Her long brownish-blonde hair brushed carefully away from her face. Sitting by her bedside is man who’s face is conveniently hidden in the shadows. He tells her that though he’s been gone during the time when she needed him the most, he’s here for her now. And will always be there for her.]

    -KELLY’s-

    [Carly walks into Kelly’s with Morgan at her side. He runs to the counter to talk to Mike and is given some cookies. Lucky asks Carly how everything went with Lucas. She tells him that he’s going to be ok if given his space. When he asks where he is, Carly is reluctant to tell him, but does so, knowing that her brother will need the support of his family. Carly tells Nikolas that she’s sorry to hear about what happened to Alexis and hopes she is found safe. Ric walks in at that time and sees the three of them talking. He flashes back to his conversation with Sonny the night before:]

    Sonny: So Alexis is missing.

    Ric: Yes.

    Sonny: I just defended you to her nephew. Don’t make me regret my decision

    Ric: No! I had nothing to do with what happened. Liz and I were talking together in Kelly’s when I got a call from Alexis…after she left your house. We were talking and then we weren’t. I heard her screaming and then a crash. However, there wasn’t a car accident reported and found no evidence to back up my story.

    Sonny: ……..so what’d you do?

    Ric: I went down to the police station and reported what happened. I was there all night and ended up getting baited into a fight by Durant and almost got arrested. No one believes that she’s really missing. They think I had something to with it.

    Sonny (slowly becoming agitated): Well Ric, history speaks for itself.. What do you think that people are just going to accept your story as truth?

    Ric: Sonny…I really di-

    Sonny: Look. I’ll put one of my guys on it. Alexis and I don’t get along, but she is the mother of my child and I don’t want anything to happen to her. I’m uh..I’m going to take Kristina with me. You’ll have your hands full with Molly and dealing with this situation, so I’ll take Kristina to my place until you find a way to work this out.

    Ric: Sonny there’s no…fine. I’d hate to ask you this Sonny but…I’m going to need your support on this. We’re brothers, we have to stick together. Do you believe me?

    Sonny: Come on Ric.

    Ric (becoming emotional): Sonny. I….I really need your support right now. I just….I need you to tell me that you believe me. Please Sonny.

    Sonny: I don’t know. (While taking Kristina with him) I don’t know.

    [Ric comes back to reality as Nikolas, Carly and Lucky are staring at him.]

    -HARBOR VIEW TOWERS: PENTHOUSE A-

    [Lucas tells Lulu that she needs to go because he’s going out. Lulu agrees, but tells Lucas she’s going with him as well. They argue for a bit with Lulu winning of course. On their way out, Lulu asks Lucas if he’s upset with Brandon for revealing his secret. Lucas tells her yes, but then remembers the intense night that he had with Brandon at a party.]

    Actress Swap! New Addition To Cast!
    by Leph Turn



    Look for actress Ashley Jones (Bridget, B& to join the cast of GH as "Sarah Webber". A few months ago we broke news that Erin Hershey Presley was to play the role, but due to the actress' pregnancy, the show decided to recast the role with her permission. Originally the writers planned to write her pregnancy into the show once they learned the news, but she didn't want them to make special concessions for her. It is expected that she will join the show in a yet unnamed role next year after her child is born. There are no hard feelings between Erin & GH and the storyline with Sarah Webber will continue on as scheduled.


    Joining the returning Sarah Webber will be her and Liz's brother "Steven Lars Webber". Steven will be played by actor Nolan North, best known for his role on Port Charles as Dr. Chris Ramsey. The role of Steven was last played by Shaun Benson in 2005. We called the show for comment and was surprised when they agreed to do so. "Steven is returning to the show to be with his family. His sisters will be going through a rough time come 2007 and will need to be there to help them. The show is also in need of male characters. There have been many female additions to the cast. There is much story to be told with the Steven character."

    Look for Nolan & Ashley to begin airing in two weeks.

    We have received word that contract negotiations between Ingo Rademacher and GH have been going very well. It is expected the actor will be bumped back up to contract status in mid 2007. Rumor has it that "Jax" could be paired with Ashley Jones' character "Sarah" or Eileen Davidson's character "Victoria".

    Written by: Ryan Chandler & Venus Stone
    Produced by: Ryan Chandler

    Opening Video

    - Nikolas arrives at Carly’s house promptly at 9PM. Lulu answers the door. The two of them begin talking about Christmas plans. When Carly finally makes her way downstairs, Nikolas’ breath is taken away. Standing at the bottom of the stairs is Carly, in a lowcut black dress that slants as it gets closer to her knees. He notices the beautiful platinum locket around her neck. She smiles at him as she moves her hair to her left shoulder. Lulu comments on how gorgeous Carly is, having to elbow Nikolas to get him to speak. Nikolas walks over to her and kisses her hand. As the two of them leave, Carly turns around and whispers “Thank you” to Lulu.

    - While working on some paperwork, Ric is interrupted by a phone call. Though the conversation is one sided, the expression on Ric’s face is what tells it all. Angry that he’s being disturbed, Ric yells at the person the other end. He finally calls the man “dad” and doesn’t want to have anything to do with him. Finally we can hear his father speak.

    “If you think that turning your back on me is going to make you a better person then you’re wrong. You’ll always be second best to your brother. Look at you, Alexis is only with you now because she can’t have Sonny. Your not my son. No, you’re not. You can’t make me proud. Maybe I should find someone who can.”

    Ric gets angry and throws his notepad down. “You know what Trevor, you should spend more time worrying about the other members of our family. You know, your brother and sister. I’ve been making trips to NJ so I can help them out. Where are you?” he asks his father. “Oh that’s right, you’re too good to spend time with your family. You haven’t even visited your granddaughter yet. She’s two dad. Two. You know what, I don’t have time for this. Merry Christmas Dad.”

    - In Nikolas’ car, Carly is surprised when Nikolas doesn’t head towards the restaurant they intended on dining at. Instead, he takes her to the soon to be hotspot in town, Club Evolution. Nikolas tells Carly to be live it up because the press are there. As they step out of the car, the press runs to them.

    Reporter: Nice to see you again Mr. Cassadine. How are you feeling today?

    Nikolas: I’m doing well.

    Reporter: And who are you with tonight?

    Nikolas: This beautiful, intelligent woman is the lovely Carly Corinthos.

    Reporter: Corinthos? Ah yes, the wife of Sonny Corinthos and owner of Deception Enterprises.

    Carly: Ex-wife. But yes, I am the owner of Deception.

    Nikolas: We hear that this is the place to be, so why not have two of Port Charles’ most intriguing people attend it right?

    Carly: See you all inside!

    -Inside the club, Liz is thrilled to be enjoying an night away from all of her troubles. Jason on the other hand is a little uncomfortable being around all of these people, but makes the best of the situation for Liz’s sake. They both seem to enjoy their night until Liz sees Carly enter the club with Nikolas.

    - Monica Quartermaine walked the halls of General Hospital, praying that she would run into Kevin. Her sleep was very restless; how could it not have been, after receiving an ominous note and a puzzle piece with her on it.

    She continued to walk past the admittance desk when she bumped into Alan. The last person she wanted to see today was him; last night at home, he made it a point in snubbing her at dinner. How long would the silent treatment last, she wondered? Did she really even care?

    "Hello, Monica," Alan said, coolly. "I'm really surprised to see you here at the hospital tonight."

    "I had some patient files to work on, I'm not staying long, so don't worry about bumping into me again," she replied. "Have you seen Kevin anywhere?"

    Giving her a questionable look, Alan folded his hands. "Why would you ask me about Kevin? Is there some reason why you want to know if he's here?"

    Trying to keep herself in check or give herself away, Monica spoke in a firm tone. "I was curious if he was here, is all. I had a few of his charts by mistake, and I wanted to give them to him," she lied. "Forget that I asked,"

    "It's funny how you can talk to everyone else in this hospital, but you can’t even treat me with one shred of respect, whether it is here or at home. But to answer your question, no, Monica, I have not seen Kevin today. He's got the day off."

    Keeping her eyes from looking at Alan any further, Monica brushed past him, muttering, "You could have said that to begin with, instead of grilling me, Alan." As she walked away, her mind went back to the puzzle piece she received. Could Alan have sent it to her? Monica quickly dismissed it; thinking that it was not his style to play cat and mouse games with her.

    Going to the elevator, Monica was approached by Georgie. "I wanted to catch you before you got on the elevator," she said, handing a small package to Monica. "It was left at the admittance desk for you."

    Monica suddenly felt a little lump in her throat, as she looked at the package. "Georgie, do you know who gave this to you? Did you see anyone around the admittance desk when this package arrived?"

    Shrugging, Georgie shook her head. "I not too long ago got there. Sorry," Georgie replied, walking away.

    The elevator doors opened, and Monica quickly walked in, letting the doors quickly close behind her. Once alone, she quickly opened the package, curious as to what was sent to her this time.

    Inside was another puzzle piece, this time it showed the face of Kevin. Monica's heart begins start to race, scared as to what this was all about. She removed the note that was written in the same bold handwriting as before; however, this time the words she read sent chills down her spine.

    I was right, Monica, you definitely are a 'piece" of work.....Does Kevin think so too?

    Once the elevator doors opened up, Monica quickly walked to her car that was parked in the parking structure. Getting in, she opened her glove compartment, and took out the first envelope that contained the first puzzle piece. Taking it in her hand, she put them together. It was a perfect fit and revealed what Monica feared: the two pieces revealed Monica and Kevin kissing.

    Grabbing her cell phone from her purse, she quickly dialed Kevin's number. "Please be home. Please," she begged as the phone continued to ring. She winced immediately as the answering machine clicked on. Having no other choice, Monica blurted out, "Kevin, please call me when you get this message. It's important. I think someone knows."

    Back at the residence of Kevin Collins, Kevin is sitting on his couch, very aware that Monica called him; very aware what the call was about. Kevin opens an envelope, and produces two puzzle pieces, very much like the pieces Monica received.

    On the next GH: Secrets & Lies-

    - Carly & Liz clash at Club Evolution
    - Dillon finds it harder and harder to resist his attraction to Lucas
    - Ric surprises Alexis with a Christmas surprise
    - Frustrated with Alan, Monica wants to meet up with Kevin for another night of passion

    Opening Video

    GH begins will Anna Devane reluctantly releasing Lorenzo Alcazar from jail. She informs Lorenzo and Skye that due to “lack of evidence”, she’s been ordered to release Lorenzo and drop the charges. Lorenzo hugs Skye and kisses her. Anna rolls her eyes and walks away steaming. “Not too good for your first few weeks Anna,” she tells herself. She takes a sip of her coffee and thinks her day couldn’t get any worse….until David walks in that is.

    At Wyndemere, Nikolas walks in while Courtney is spending time with Spencer. She takes this time to try and get in some personal talk with the man she still loves.

    “So…..I hear things are going well for you and Carly. I hope she’s treating you well.”

    Nikolas looks up at Courtney from his desk and glares. After putting down his pen he begins to speak. “Not that it’s any of your business Courtney, but yes, we’re doing great.” Nikolas look at his watch and asks how much longer she’ll be there.

    “Listen…I know things haven’t been great between us Nikolas but I think I deserved a second chance.”

    “Second chance? Second CHANCE?” Nikolas stands ups and walks over to Courtney. “You don’t deserve anything. You left me. You walked out on me. On top of that you took my child with you. You disappear for months, come back and just expected us to pick up where we left off. I’m sorry I didn’t wait by the couch and cry for you.”

    Courtney angrily replies, “You don’t have to be so damn nasty. Little did I know that you’d shack up with the first person who showed you a little attention! I was confused Nik and I need time away. I thought you loved me enough to wait for me.”

    “Well I’m sorry I didn’t. You left me at the worst time. I needed you, you weren’t here—”

    “And Carly was right?”

    “Yes she was. She made me realize that I needed to put myself first. Look, I don’t want to argue with you. Things are civil between us Court. I allow you to visit Spencer as much as you want. You have free access to our child.”

    Carly walks into Wyndemere at this time, unbeknownst to Courtney and Nikolas. Courtney continues to talk to Nikolas.

    “This is not about our child. This is about us. I miss you. I need you.”

    “But you can’t have me and you’re just going to have to accept it. Look….I want you to be happy.”

    At the Quartermaine mansion, Edward poured himself a cup of coffee and sat at his desk. Now that AJ was back home, he had big plans for him. The first being, getting him back into ELQ. A shiver went through the elder Quartermaine's back as he thought of Tracy making the employee of ELQ's lives miserable. Although he trusted Tracy to a a certain extent, there was no way in hell he was about to let her run amok with his empire.

    A knock on the door prompted Edward to bellow for them to come in. AJ stepped into room, closing the door behind him. "You wanted to see me?"

    Standing up and stepping away from his desk, Edward approached his grandson. "As a matter of fact, I did, AJ," he said motioning for him to sit down. "Now that you are home, I have great plans for you, son."

    Looking a little puzzled, AJ was about to ask what his grandfather could possibly have planned for him. Immediately, he thought of the only thing that would have Edward smiling the way that he was. "Oh no...." he began raising up his hands in protest.

    "Listen before you hastily tell me 'no', Edward snapped. "By the way, you know I hate that word, especially when it comes to securing my family's future. AJ, I want you to involved with ELQ. I need you to be involved with ELQ."

    Stifling a laugh of sarcasm, AJ immediately took the bait for the moment. "Okay, tell me why you want this so much? Seriously. You already have Tracy as CEO of the company. Doesn't she have to know about what you have planned?"

    Waving a hand in the air, Edward frowned at the notion. "I may not be in the CEO position, but I am still the man that makes the decisions around here; and that decision is getting you into ELQ."

    At General Hospital, Robin was wrapping up her shift. She couldn't wait to wrap up her shift; anything to get with Patrick and have some steamy sex with him. A smile played at her lips at the thought of their night together. Patrick always had a way of making her forget about the negative that came into her life. Headed towards the elevator, she focused on the last patient she had to tend to; after that, her plan for the night was to give tons of TLC to a certain doctor she had in mind.

    Patrick, who had just arrived at the hospital, was headed towards the cafeteria when he spotted a dark-haired woman trying to juggle a lunch tray in her hand, while trying to carry packages in her other hand. Running over to her, he offered his help.

    "It looks like you have a lot to juggle. Let me help you with that," Patrick offered, taking the tray from her hand.

    Blushing a little, Sarah Webber looked at the kind doctor, thanking him. "I haven't been having the best of luck when it comes to getting something from this cafeteria," she chuckled, putting her packages down.

    "So, are you here to visit a patient," he asked, obviously interested in knowing a little bit about her. "I mean, do you have a loved one here that you are seeing?"

    "Actually, I have a loved one here, but they aren't a patient," she laughed, opening her bottle of juice that was on the tray. "My sister works here."

    Immediately taking a seat at the table, Patrick definitely wanted to know who she could possibly be related to; because whoever it was sure was lucky to have a good looking relative such as her.

    "You might know her, since you are a doctor and all," she flirted a little bit. Sarah was taken by his good looks immediately, and was instantly curious to get to know him better. "My sister is Elizabeth Webber."

    Smirking a little, Patrick pointed a finger in her direction. "Are you serious? Elizabeth Webber is your sister?" Rubbing his chin a bit, he sipped his coffee. "So, does 'Elizabeth Webber's' sister have a name?"

    Sarah and Patrick both started laughing at the statement, so loud that some patrons glanced their way. The laughter did, however, catch someone else's attention; Robin Scorpio's who happened to step in the cafeteria to get something to drink. Putting her hands on her hips, she just stood watching the two of them.

    Back at the table, Sarah extended a hand to him. "I'm Sarah Webber," she said, quickly glancing at the tag on his uniform, "and you are, Dr. P. Drake. Um, is Dr. Noah Drake your father?"

    Putting a finger to his lips, Patrick mocked secrecy. "Shhhh, don't say that too loud, you'll ruin my good reputation," he teased, causing the two of them to start laughing again.

    "Your reputation was already ruined, don't ya think," Robin said, standing behind Patrick. Looking in Sarah's direction, she wanted to make her last words crystal clear. "Hey Sarah. I see you met my boyfriend, Patrick."

    Back at the PCPD, Anna asks David to leave. He tries to convince her to have lunch with him so they can catch up on time lost. Anna snaps at David, telling him she has no intention of having lunch with him now or ever. David appears to be hurt and apologizes for disturbing her. Anna is tempted to stop him from leaving and almost does, but gets a call from the Mayor to attend a special taskforce meeting with the FBI.

    On the next GH: Secrets & Lies….

    Opening Video

    - When Dillon made his way into Kelly's, he didn't plan on staying for a long time. His plan was to grab something to eat, look over psychology notes, and head to class to take the test. The minute he sat down, however, something told him that he wasn't going to get much studying done; and he was very much correct.

    Ten minutes passed when Lucas came into the restaurant. Immediately spotting Dillon, he made his way towards his table.

    "Dillon, how's it going," he asked, placing his backpack next to an empty chair. Taking off his coat, he draped it across the chair and sat down. "It's been a while since either of us talked."

    Trying not to sound nervous, Dillon nodded his head. "Yeah, it's been awhile. I've been so busy with classes and dealing with some family matters," he fibbed. There was an obvious reason as to why Dillon and Lucas haven't talked; he couldn't get over what he saw months earlier. Now that Lucas was sitting next to him, the feelings were coming back.

    "Come on man, you can't drown yourself in school work. You do have the right to hang out with your friends and let off some steam," Lucas teased, playfully punching Dillon in the arm. "I will admit, I have been dealing with some things I wish I could soon forget, however, the more I am with Brandon...." he stopped in mid-sentence when he heard a few college students coming into Kelly's.

    Glancing in the direction of the college students, Dillon looked at Lucas for a moment. "Do some of the people at school still give you a hard time being with Brandon?" he asked, looking briefly at the students again. "I mean, do you feel uneasy when you two are together?"

    Laughing abit, Lucas merely shook is head. "Earlier, yeah, folks gave us a hard time, said hateful, cruel things. Now, however, I couldn’t care less what others think of me. I'm not ashamed of being gay, nor ashamed of being with someone that I truly love." Smiling a little, Lucas said something that automatically sent shivers through Dillon. "I think about you as well."

    "What do you mean?" he immediately asked, feeling his body tense up a bit. "Why would you think about me?"

    "Out of everyone in this town, you remained true to who you are. When you found out about my being gay, you didn't turn your back on me. Instead, you continued to be my friend, and that means a hell of a lot, considering all the things I've been through recently with my own family." He was going to say more, however, one of the college students approached their table.

    "Hey, Dillon, what's up Lucas?" the young girl said to them. When they looked on not sure as to whom she was, she giggled a little. "I'm Amanda, We have a few classes together."

    As Amanda continued talking to both of them, Maxie made her way into Kelly's. She immediately stopped in mid stride, locking eyes on Dillon and Lucas. This should be interesting, she thought to herself, quickly sitting down, continuing to keep her eyes on them. She definitely had to get the goods on what was going on at that table.

    "Well, Friday night there is a joint party sponsored by one of the sororities and fraternities on campus. On behalf of Alpha Gamma Alpha, I thought I'd extend an official invitation to you both," Amanda said, smiling in Dillon's direction. It was obvious that she was a bit interested in Dillon Quartermaine, and getting him to come to the party would be a good way of trying to get to know him a little bit more. As for Lucas, she thought he was cool too, so it was only right to extend the invitation to him as well. "So, what do you say? Will you come to the party Friday night?"

    Remembering what Lucas said earlier about getting out and being with friends, Dillon quickly piped up, looking in his direction. "Of course. I'll come to the party; after all, everyone needs to let off a little steam every now and then, right?"

    Patting him on the arm, Lucas also agreed to come to the party. When she left, he leaned over across the table "I'm glad you are finally taking some much needed advice. I think the party Friday night will be one you will always remember." Looking at his watch, he quickly grabbed his backpack. "We better get to class, man."

    Grabbing his stuff as well, Dillon quickly followed Lucas out the door of Kelly's unaware that Maxie was lurking around, watching the two of them. Once they were gone, Maxie slid from out of her chair and made her way towards Amanda, who was grabbing her books from the table.

    "Hi, Amanda," she greeting, planting a fake smile on her face. Amanda was the last person she would ever have thought about talking to, however, she needed the dirt, therefore, if she must use her to get it, she would. "I couldn't help but notice that you were chatting with Dillon and Lucas."

    Rolling her eyes, Amanda glanced at Maxie. "You're quite the observant one, now aren't you," she said, looking back at her friends, who were heading out the door. "I have to get to class soon, so what do you want?"

    Fake smile and all erased immediately from Maxie's face. "What were the three of you talking about," she asked, folding her hands on her arms. "I strongly doubt all that giggling was for some tips on how to pass a test or anything. So, Amanda, what was it that you were talking about?"

    "Since you're so nosey, I'll tell you what we were talking about," she snapped, walking towards the door, "I was telling them about a party Friday night at one of the frats. Now, if you will excuse me, some of us actually have things to do with our time."

    "Bitch," she mumbled, as she watched the door close behind her. “Whore,” Amanda yelled back.

    Grabbing her cell phone out of her purse, Maxie quickly dialed some numbers. "I need to see you in thirty minutes, and you better have the stuff that I asked for," she demanded the person on the other end of the phone. "I wouldn't be asking to meet you if I didn't have the money, you moron!"

    Closing the phone shut, Maxie's plans on setting up Dillon with Lucas were well underway.

    - Lainey arranged the photographs that Nikolas gave to her a few days earlier. This would be her ninth session with Sam, and they had not yet made any progress in trying to get her to remember who she was. Hopefully, the pictures might possibly jog her memory a bit...hopefully.

    As she glanced at the clock, she realized that Nik would be bringing Sam to see her shortly. For Lainey, it was proving to be harder than she thought in getting Sam to recall the summer her life changed; perhaps, she thought, deep down, Sam didn't want to remember all that happened to her. What made matters worse was the fact that both Nik and Lucky were keeping the poor girl out of sight from everyone who knows her; letting everyone involved that summer to believe that she was truly dead.

    A knock at the door broke into her thoughts. Opening it, Lainey smiled at Sam, who arrived with Nik. "You are right on time," she said, motioning for Sam to sit down. When she saw that Nikolas was sitting next to her, Lainey quickly approached him. "I think for today's session, it will be just the two of us. I feel that if you are here, it will only be a distraction."

    "What do you mean by 'distraction'," he asked, a little agitated that he was being excluded from the session. "I have been trying my best to get her to remember things."

    Lainey quickly excused the two of them, making sure not to let Sam hear what she had to say. Once outside of her office, Lainey firmly glanced at Nik. "I need to know if you or Lucky are truly trying to help Sam get her memory back. I mean, you come to me, requesting my help, however, in the process; you drop the bomb on me that only two of you know that Sam is alive. How am I to help her, knowing that she's already being kept from everything and everyone that could possibly help her?"

    Sighing deeply, he put his hands in his coat pockets. "Lainey, it was never my intent in dropping a load of information on you at once. Lucky and I both handled things the best way we could," he tried to reason. When he saw that she was waiting for him to continue, he did so. "When I saw that Sam was alive, believe me, I was furious that Lucky kept it a secret; however, at the time, we just couldn't take the chance. There was no telling what could have happened if she saw everyone that was involved in the fire last summer."

    "I don't fully agree with what either of you are doing; simply for the fact that too many people are going to be hurt and angered by what you know. Even Sam could become furious with you both; just be aware of the consequences, Nikolas." Without saying anymore, Lainey excused herself and went into her office to start her session.

    Sam, who was waiting for Lainey to return, looked around the office. With a finger, she traced the certificate that hung on the wall. Looking over at Lainey, she smiled nervously. "I really don't know what to say to you, or how to answer the questions you may ask."

    "We'll start off slow, and go from there," Lainey replied, taking the folder of photos from her desk. Approaching Sam, she sat across from her. "I thought we would start off by looking at some pictures. Perhaps once you look at them, you might remember some things about the person you are looking at."

    A puzzled look came across Sam's face. "You think that if I look at these pictures, I'll remember who I am and what happened to me?"
    She suddenly felt a tightness in her chest; perhaps fear of what the outcome would be. Nodding her head, she complied. "Let me see the pictures."

    The first picture she showed was of Jason. "Take a look at the picture very carefully, and tell me if you remember anything at all about this person," she said, keeping a close watch of any expressions that Sam may make. "When you look at this picture, do you remember anything at all?"

    A quick flash of memory hit her. Looking up at Lainey, she handed the picture back to her. "I remember him reaching out to a woman. He was trying to save her," she murmured closing her eyes briefly.

    Placing the photo back in the folder, she took another one out. This time, it was a picture of Lucky and Elizabeth. Holding it up, Lainey spoke, "Take a look at this one, Sam. Tell me if looking at this picture may help jog something for you." She hoped that it would. She could tell that this wasn't working too well as she had hoped.

    "That's Elizabeth and Lucky," she answered quickly, nearly startling Lainey. Pointing in the direction of Liz, Sam continued to talk. "She's his wife, but when I saw her, she was with the guy in that other picture." A frown suddenly appeared on her face as she looked at the picture of the two of them. "I don't know why she would be married to Lucky but be with someone else. I know if I were with Lucky, I would never do him badly."

    Immediately putting the picture away, Lainey was curious as to what Sam was telling her. "You think very fondly of Lucky, am I correct?"

    Blushing a little, Sam glanced up at Lainey, suddenly becoming shy in what she said. "He makes me feel completely safe, and I know that he would never hurt me. Dr. Winters, I think about him constantly," she confessed. "I know it sounds weird, but…….knowing that he is married doesn't stop me from having feelings for him

    Major Changes Coming!!
    By Kalen Dar

    Last October, Port Charles' (then known as General Hospital) Head Writer/Executive Producer Ryan Chandler promised viewers that the corporate feel would be coming to the show. Over that time, the writing team began creating the foundations for that to happen. Carly became the new owner of Deception Cosmetics and formed her own head corporation called "Deception Inc.". Tracy, with some help from Luke & Carly became the CEO of ELQ and promptly ousted Skye from the company. Even earlier in the year (pre-arcs), Nikolas assumed the reigns of Cassadine Industries and began slow takeovers of other companies. Sonny & Jason began another shift toward legitimate business practices having Corinthos-Morgan Enterprises acquire various exporting companies and construction businesses. What was the reasoning behind these moves?

    "Well, I am a huge fan of The Young & the Restless and their boardroom drama had me hooked from day one. When I got the chance to intern at the show, I learned the ins and outs of what makes good corporate drama. By doing this on Port Charles, we can expand storyline opportunities beyond the hospital. This has been in the works since last year, and is a big reason why we received permission to rename "General Hospital" to "Port Charles". This was also done to have more characters that don't usually interact with one another, interact and to bring out umbrella storyline opportunities that don't focus on the mob."

    Since the new writing team took over in January 2006, the mob has had little to no impact on storylines. "General Hospital has had mob influences since the 70's, but there is no need to constantly bombard the audience with mob violence." Sonny Corinthos spent the majority of 2006 backburnered with no story whatsoever; it is only recently that a mob story has begun to take place on the show. We asked why we have seen a resurgence of mob activity on the show as of late.

    "The reason why you have seen the set up to a big mob storyline is because we felt now was the time. We have a great balance," the HW/EP says, "we feel that we can tell this story without having it dominate airtime and focus on just those within the mob environment. However, this is a separate issue." So when can viewers expect to see the shift to the corporations?

    "There will be some scenes next week at ELQ and Deception, and there will be an announcement regarding a partnership between Deception & Titan (Jax's company). Our crew has constructed brand new sets and the actors are ready for this change. Now we are in a writing transition and will be bringing on new writers to help with the show. We look forward to everyone continuing to bear with us as we make this transition. Get ready for sex in the boardrooms, blackmail, corporate takeovers and more!"

    Secrets & Lies: Episode 27
    ICU: Bobbie, Noah, Lucas & Brandon
    Sunday, November 19, 2006

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

    ACT I Back at the MetroCourt, everything seems to be going well during Bobbie and Noah’s date until Noah sees someone who could possibly ruin their night. He tries to get Bobbie out of there without noticing them, but does a poor job. Much to Bobbie’s dislike, Lucas [Justin Bruening] and Brandon [Matt Cohen] show up for dinner together at the MetroCourt. The two begin to sit down, but Lucas notices Bobbie and Noah at another table.

    Lucas: (sighs) Oh, great. Could this night get any worse?

    Brandon: Look, this is supposed to be our night, and seeing your mother should not ruin that. Just go over there, and at least try to be civil with her.

    Lucas: It just seems like every time I try, we get further and further apart.

    Brandon: You are going to be uncomfortable about this until you talk to her, so go over there.

    Lucas looks at Brandon, and gives him a small grin, and both then start to get up and head over to Bobbie and Noah's table. Bobbie sees them coming over to the table and puts her head into the menu to avoid facing eye contact.

    Noah: Bobbie, your son is coming this way. Get your head out of that menu and speak to him.

    Bobbie: This is not the time or the place, No....(stops talking when both Brandon and Lucas arrive at the table)

    Lucas: Hi, Mom. Noah.

    Noah: Lucas, Brandon, so nice to see you. (Looks over at Bobbie to make sure she speaks to her son)

    Bobbie: (clears throat and fakes a smile) Lucas, very nice to see you, along with your friend.

    Lucas: He has a name, Mom. Brandon.

    Bobbie: Yes, yes, of course.

    Noah does his best to try to break the tension between the four of them by making conversation with Lucas.

    Noah: So, what brings you two out tonight?

    Lucas: Well, Brandon and I finally had the chance to get a night out, so we decided to come here.

    Bobbie: Well, if you aren't afraid of being embarrassed by others, then you have it.

    Lucas: You know what, Mom....

    Brandon: No, Lucas, don't do this.

    Lucas: No, I'm sick and tired of the fact that she has to insult you whenever I am around you. This is where it ends, right here and right now! Opening Video

    ACT II Bobbie: Lucas, try to calm down. You're just embarrassing yourself.

    Lucas: No, Mom. You seem to take it upon yourself to make Brandon feel so low about himself when he is around me. Where do you exactly get off making other people miserable? Is it because of your nice little drinking habit you have taken upon yourself?

    Noah: Lucas, that's enough.

    Bobbie: Don't you stop him, Noah. Let him finish. I mean, it's obvious that he is not thinking clearly about anything that is going on with his life.

    Lucas: I cannot express to you enough, Mom, that this is who I am. You can't wish that this is a stage I am going to grow out of! The world doesn't work that way, if you haven't noticed! If it does, then you would stop drowning your pathetic sorrows in a bottle of booze every single night, and appreciate your son instead of trying to push him away like garbage!

    Bobbie: (starts to stand up from her chair) Don't you understand what kind of hell you are putting yourself into?! You are so hellbent on continuing with this farce of a relationship that you are not able to see how dense people can be to this! The constant stares, the consistent talking behind one's back, you really want to go through life with people making you feel less of yourself! And this character, or whatever the hell he is to you, will just make things worse for you in the end. This isn't love, this is just a fad that is severely wearing thin, and I am sick and tired of it!

    Noah: Bobbie, sit down.

    Bobbie: (ignores Noah) You actually think that this....this thing can bring you happiness into your life! Well, guess again, son! If you do continue with this, nothing but misery will come from this. And if you think I will be your shoulder to cry on when you finally admit that this route you went on was wrong...and a girl is right for you...you can think again.

    Lucas: Well, Mom....I guess I can see it all clearly now. You really only care about yourself in this situation, don't you? To hell with me and my feelings, right? Seems that you are not worried about how embarrassed this will make me....you are more concerned about how this will affect you. Take a look around, Mom. I'm sure this isn't what you expected....now, is it?

    Bobbie and everyone else notices that the crowd is not staring at her. She then turns around and sees an upset Lucas, and then looks down at a glass of champagne. She then takes a drink, and grabs her coat.

    Bobbie: Noah, let's get out of here. I suddenly don't like the air in here. ACT III Bobbie and Noah start to leave the MetroCourt, and Noah notices Lucas beginning to cry. Brandon puts his hand on Lucas' shoulder, and then the two begin to hug, and they shortly leave after Bobbie and Noah do. Noah and Bobbie arrive at his apartment, and she throws her coat down onto the couch and begins pacing. She starts to head to the bar to get a drink, but Noah stops her from doing so.

    Bobbie: What the hell do you think you are doing?

    Noah: Don't you dare think you are going to avoid the situation at hand by taking a drink.

    Bobbie: How dare you?

    Noah: To actually ask me that, just proves exactly what Lucas was saying. You are no better than a common stranger who judges their own son....their OWN son! You had the nerve to just blast him in front of an entire crowd simply because he chose to be himself. What kind of a mother would do that to their own child? Someone without a heart.

    Bobbie slaps Noah

    Bobbie: How dare you make judgments like that. You know nothing about my relationship with my son.

    Bobbie begins to start to become very emotional at this point. Noah fights back his own tears as he blasts the woman he loves for being so cruel to her child. Sometimes love hurts and you have to give brutal honesty to those who are in desperate need of it.

    Noah: The hell I don't. You really think I didn't have a strained relationship with my own son? You seem to forget, sweetheart, I am a recovering alcoholic! My son couldn't stand the sight of me, and I wanted to try to get back in his life to be a better father to him than I ever was. It killed me inside each and every day that he would not give me the time of day because I was so hellbent against his wishes!

    Noah is unable to control the tears now as he lets them fall freely down his face...hoping that showing his pure and raw emotion would impact Bobbie in a big way.

    At least you have the opportunity to HAVE something with your son. Or should I said had. After the spectacle you made tonight, you lost all hope of that. Who the hell can blame him for the way he's feeling?

    Bobbie stares at Noah furiously. Back at Lucas' place, he and Brandon sit down on the couch and begin to calmly talk about what happened at MetroCourt tonight.

    Brandon: How are you? You doing ok? (strokes Lucas' hair)

    Lucas: I don't know anymore. I tried so hard to have my mom accept who I am, but after what happened tonight....

    Brandon: Don't put more stress on yourself about this. None of this is your fault.

    Lucas: I know...I know that. I just have begun to realize that she will probably never accept this, but she is not going to ruin my life.Whatever control she has had over me, it's done and over with.

    Brandon: You sure about that?

    Lucas: Absolutely. I love being here with you, Brandon. That's all that matters.

    ******************************************
    Lucas and Brandon share a kiss with one another. Then another, then another, then another. Brandon takes off his shirt as Lucas takes off his. Brandon and Lucas then take each others pants off (leaving boxers on) and begin to make out on the sofa. Brandon gets on top of Lucas and kisses his chest and runs his fingers through his hair. Brandon runs his hand across Lucas' crotch. Lucas really seems into it. Brandon slips his hand down Lucas boxers and kisses his neck. Lucas tenses up and Brandon gets off him and stops. Lucas sits up.
    ******************************************

    Brandon: What's the matter? Did I do something wrong?

    Lucas: No, no. It's not you. It's me. Feels like it is moving a bit fast for me, and I am just not ready for this yet. I'm really sorry about...

    Brandon: No, there is nothing to be sorry for. I think also a part of it has to do with the fact you were going to make love to me to spite your mother.

    Lucas: Heh, it was a factor, yes. But, when the time is right, we'll know it. And, we'll take it from there.

    Brandon gives Lucas a nice smile as he puts his arm around him. Back at Noah's, Bobbie is about to rip Noah a new one.

    Bobbie: You really gonna try to compare such a menial thing like your son hating your drinking problem with what is going on with my son? It doesn't even begin to compare! At least your son will have a chance at living a normal life. He won't be judged for being with a woman because hey...it's NORMAL. Your son likes women. My son likes guys. There's no comparison.

    Noah: Oh, I believe it does. You are so adamant about the fact that Lucas is now standing up to you and is finally being who he is, without your approval, that it is tearing you up inside. You say you love your son? Well, why don't you get off of your high horse and show him how much you care about him! You worry about what others have to say about him? Look what you had to say about him! You made yourself not only look like a fool, but hurt your son in the process! Not everything is all about you Barbara Jean. You are not going to bloody sit here and claim that everything that went wrong or may go wrong in his life is your fault. News flash for you, love. Lucas is in charge of all the decisions that he makes. Not you or anyone else! So stop acting like a hypocrite, and love Lucas for who person he is. Love him for the child he was and the man he has become!

    Bobbie runs over to Noah and begins to hit him in the chest, saying that this is not her fault and how can he suggest such a notion. She keeps repeating it over and over again, while trying to hit him, but suddenly breaks down and starts crying hysterically. She starts to realize that she does believe everything that is going on with Lucas IS her fault, and continues to cry in Noah's arms. Lucas puts his head on Brandon's lap, and Brandon begins to stroke Lucas' hair. Lucas starts to tear up a bit because of the strain of everything that has happened is putting him and his mother further and further apart. He slowly closes his eyes and goes off to sleep. After crying herself heavily to sleep, Noah puts Bobbie to bed and places the covers over top of her. He then kisses her, turns off the lights, and lets Bobbie sleep peacefully as he makes his way back to the living room. On The Next GH: Secrets & Lies-

Carly reassures her that she’s only there to pick up the papers for school. A nurse brings Carly the documents and she turns to leave. Monica stops Carly before she can leave.]

    -METROCOURT-

    [Robin and Mac catch up on time lost while having lunch together. Robin asks Mac about his relationship with Felicia; He tells her that they’re “just friends” and co-parenting is working better than they thought. Robin asks Mac if Felicia and Mac will ever get married again, Mac says he doubts it. He and Felicia are in different areas of their lives right now, and the best thing for them to do is stay on good terms with one another.]

    -SONNY’s-

    [Jason walks into Sonny’s place while Sonny is playing with Kristina and Morgan. Both kids run to Jason when he enters the room calling “Uncle Jason”. Jason asks Michael to take them both upstairs so he and Sonny can talk. First, Jason asks where Emily is. Sonny tells her that she decided to take a vacation after he broke off their relationship. Sonny tells him that he had a “breakthrough” while talking with Alexis and realized that he is still in love with Carly. Jason wants to know if Sonny will go back to Carly. He says that though he’s still in love with Carly, they won’t be getting back together. She’s happy without him and he doesn’t want to ruin that.]

    -KELLY’s-

    [Lorenzo is talking on the phone when Dillon and Georgie walk into Kelly’s. They overhear Lorenzo making arrangements for Diego’s return home. Lorenzo makes reference to calling in a favor due to Diego’s good behavior and Dillon explodes.]

    Dillon: You have got to be kidding me. You’re pulling strings to get your psycho stalker son out of jail? What bad movie did I just walk into?

    Georgie: Dillon!

    Lorenzo: Sit down.

    Dillon: No, no. I’m just, so angry. He stalked you Georgie! He stalked my niece! He drugged you all!!

    Lorenzo (more forcefully): Sit down………..

    [Georgie and Dillon sit]

    Lorenzo: Now, not that I have to explain anything to you but I will. Diego is my child, and as my child I will do whatever it takes to protect him. What Diego did to you, your sister and your niece (looking at Dillon) was reprehensible. However, are we not entitled to make mistakes? You Dillon, you used to work for me. How many times did you break the law?

    Dillon: That was different, I didn’t stalk or drug anyone.

    Lorenzo: No, but you had strong parental influences. No matter how much you dislike your mother, she has been a strong influence on your life. Diego didn’t have that. Until a year ago, Diego thought that his mother was his sister. He floated from family to family with no stability and now he does. He was reaching out for attention that I didn’t give to him.

    Georgie: But that is no excuse for his actions.

    Lorenzo: No it’s not. But I have something to make up for and this is one of them. You can like or not, but it’s happening and it’s happening in two weeks. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m meeting Skye and I have to get ready.

    [Lorenzo collects his belongings and leaves for the MetroCourt.]

    Lulu: It’s Monica’s house….

    Tracy: Shut up.

    Lulu: You spoke to me first.

    Tracy: So what. What is that snot bucket doing here?

    Lulu: That “snot bucket” has name. It’s Cameron. He’s my nephew.

    Tracy: I know that. You still didn’t answer my question. What is he doing here?

    Lulu: I’m babysitting for today. We were out, now I’m tired, so I brought him home with me.

    Tracy: Why aren’t you in school?!

    Lulu: Teacher’s workshop

    Tracy: Well, tonight we’re having a family meeting and you can’t be here. So take your little toy and leave.

    Lulu: I am family Tracy, but I do have other things to do tonight. Come on Cameron, let’s go. Oh, and before I go, I just thought you should that Cameron had a little accident in your room
    Tracy (proudly speaking): What?!!

    Lulu: Ha ha ha.

    [Tracy glares at Lulu while she’s leaving the room]

    -GENERAL HOSPITAL-

    [Carly asks Monica what she can do for her, and is asked to sit down.]

    Monica: I know that life seems to be going quite well for you right now Carly and I’m really happy to see that.

    Carly: ……..

    Monica: And I know that part of your therapy was to apologize and try to make amends with the people in your life who you’ve hurt in the past.

    Carly: …………..

    Monica: I just…

    Carly: Just say it Monica.

    Monica: The fam..I’d love to see Michael. Now before you become upset, just hear me out.

    Carly: Fine……

    Monica: Alan and I miss out grandson Carly. We rarely ever get to see him, except for when we’d run into Emily while she was babysitting. Now that she’s on an extended vacation and no longer hanging around Sonny, I don’t know when we’ll get the chance to again. He’s the only link that we have left to AJ. I’m asking you to consider letting us spend time with Michael. You can stay if you’d like or you can send Leticia, I don’t care. We’d just….like to have a relationship with our grandchild.

    Carly: I’ll think about it.

    Monica: Seriously?

    Carly: Yes Monica. I will seriously think about it. Michael’s getting to the age where he’s gonna want to know the Quartermaines. I will consider letting him spend time with you.

    Monica: What about Alan and the rest of the Quartermaines’?

    Carly: I have no real problem with you Monica, it’s the others that I have a problem with. Just…just give me some time.

    -SONNY’s-

    [Jason tells Sonny that he’s been out of contact with Sam for weeks. She went to Hawaii to deal with a problem with Danny but hasn’t called or e-mailed him. Jason tells Sonny that he may be unavailable for a few days if he doesn’t hear something soon. He also tells Sonny that Courtney called him and asked for his help, but wanted him to promise that he wouldn’t reveal where she was. He says he turned her down due to him trying to find Sam. This doesn’t sit well with Sonny, who lashes out at Jason for not being ‘considerate’. Jason, angry from not being able to get in contact with Sam and the frustration of dealing with Sonny & Emily, asks Sonny if he took his feeling into ‘consideration’ when he chose to start a relationship with Emily. He has his reasons for not getting involved with Courtney’s mess. She chose to leave town on her own, she chose to hide from Jax and Nikolas, she was in no dire emergency, so he told her he couldn’t get involved. No big deal. Unfortunately Sonny doesn’t think so. Luke arrives shortly after Jason leaves, with a business proposition for Sonny.]

    On Next General Hospital….

    - Luke suggests that he and Sonny go into business together.

    - Nikolas sees more of Carly than he wanted to

    - On her final day of work at ELQ, Skye runs into Luke who has just returned to town. He tries to act like everything is good between them, but Skye refuses to let him gloss over the fact that he betrayed her. When he realizes Skye is still angry, Luke decides to walk away, but Skye picks a fight with him. Tracy watches their confrontation in the hallway from 6 floors up. Luke turns the argument around on Skye and blames her for what has happened. Skye slaps Luke across the face before storming out of ELQ.

    - Nikolas gets a call from Lainey while he’s at the park with Spencer, Carly and the boys. After making sure he’s out of earshot, Nikolas asks for an update regarding Sam’s condition.

    “It is my opinion that Sam is suffering through post-traumatic amnesia.”

    Nikolas is stumped. “What’s that? Like post-traumatic stress?”

    “Yes it is. Basically, her mind isn’t able to deal with what happened to her over the summer, so she blocks it out subconsciously. Whenever she does try to remember, she has a panic attack. We need to ease her into remembering what happened. Trying to force her to remember will do more harm than good.” Lainey is shown walking down the hallway running her fingers through her hair. “I think we should tell Alexis about this. Sam will need her—”

    “No,” Nikolas says, cutting her off. “My aunt is already going through so much, I can’t bear putting her through this.

    “You cannot be the only one making decisions for her Nikolas. This isn’t a decision that you should be making.”

    Nikolas starts to become annoyed. “No disrespect Dr. Winters, but I don’t pay you to tell me what decisions I should be making.”

    “No disrespect to you Mr. Cassadine, but I don’t get paid to be spoken to in that manner. I’ll continue to work with Sam because I promised I would. But if you ever talk to me like that again, I’ll slap the taste out of your mouth. You got me?”

    - At Lucky’s apartment, Sam has just gotten out of the shower. She wraps a big, forest green towel around her body and is in her own little world. She opens the door to the bathroom and bumps into Lucky. As her towel is falling, Lucky turns around so he doesn’t see anything. While he’s waiting for her to put back on her towel, he can’t help but try to take a peek at her body.

    “You can turn around now,” she says.

    “I’m sorry about that,” says Lucky, feeling awkward. “I should have been more careful.”

    Sam eyes Lucky up and down. Nice muscles.....great abs she says to herself. She deduces that he must have been on his way to the shower. Why else would he be walking around the house in sweatpants and no shirt?

    “Don’t worry about it. I know you didn’t mean to do it. If I didn’t like you that would be a little awkard.”

    “Yeah, I think you’re right,” Lucky says as he walks into the bathroom and begins to disrobe. Sam takes a deep breath and puts her back against the door so they can finish their conversation.

    “You’re not upset with me are you Lucky?”

    “No, why would I?”

    “Well….I’ve been cramping your style it seems. You rarely go out and when you do, it’s only to go to work or see Nikolas. I don’t mean to be a bother to you.”

    Lucky steps into the shower. “Trust me, you aren’t. I like hanging out with you. Plus it’s a welcome change over the drama with Elizabeth.”

    Elizabeth…Sam as a vivid flashback. She shakes it out of her mind, and tells Lucky that she can’t really explain it, but she feels drawn to him. There’s an indescribable connection between the two of them that she can’t decode. She thanks him for being considerate and keeping her secret. Lucky tells Sam no problem and says he feels connected to her too. Sam then smiles and walks away from the door while twirling her hair. Lucky just lets the water hit his rock hard body.

    - Back at on the steps of City Hall, Anna begins to speak.

    Anna: Ladies and gentleman please…take your seats. My name is Anna Devane. I am here to serve and protect you, the taxpayers of Port Charles. I am no stranger to this city. I have had family ties here for well over 20 years and even served as Chief of Police for a time. Under my watch, you will no longer have to live in fear.

    Mac begins to squirm in his seat, upset that Anna would take a cheap shot at him.

    Anna: This is not a cheap shot at my predecessor. However I feel that too many things were let go by the wayside here in this wonderful city. Before I continue, I have a few things that I’d like to clear up.

    Reporter: Ms. Devane, what will your first act be?

    Anna: Effective immediately, I will be the acting Chief of Police. Until I am able to familiarize myself with the current crop of officers at the PCDP, I feel that I am very qualified to hold the position at no extra cost to the taxpayers. Our mayor wanted me to make that very clear.

    Mayor Floyd: Yes I did.

    Anna: Secondly, I will be re-organizing the teams and create an emergency task force that will deal situations here in the city within 5 minutes or less.

    Reporter: Anything else?

    Anna: Yes…….for too long the citizens of Port Charles has feared an all out mob war. For years these criminals, because they are criminals, have abused our legal system to maneuver themselves around and continue to do what they do. I will no longer allow that to happen.

    I am declaring war on all organized crime in Port Charles. I am vowing to end the corruption within our own police department and in the offices of the lawyers sworn to fight on behalf of the people.

    I will not tolerate any more of your nonsense. You blow up a building? I will find you. You raid a shipment that doesn’t belong to you, I will find you. You shoot up public places and we will shoot you. There is ZERO tolerance for organized crime in my city. Now….any questions?

    The reports rapidly begin asking PCPD Commissioner Anna Devane more questions as GH comes to an end.

    On the next GH: Secrets & Lies-

    - Bobbie struggles with a decision to drink or not to drink
    - Robin meets Liz’s brother for the first time
    - Sonny & Jason react to Anna’s press conference
    - Lorenzo makes plans to make nice with Commissioner Devane
