Damn, you aren't kidding. As soon as she dragged Jason out in the hall
yesterday I started throwing things at my TV again until my sister bellowed
at me to cut it out. ;-)
I was so ticked, though. I can't believe she did that. She didn't see the
fiasco at the Qs. She missed all of that. And because of that she has no
right to subsitute her judgement for Jason's on that. They all, INCLUDING
AJ, proved that they are one of the most immediate sources of emotional
danger to that child. If Robin doesn't want to see that, fine, but she has
no right to moraliz to Jason about that.
I don't care WHO is the kid's biological father.

Neither do I. And I think her "where the hell is Carly?" comment to Bobbie
spoke volumes on that score.

Nope. Powerful presence, that one.

<snort> I said that same thing. And it's not even just a matter of the
character being stupid, but the actress has three facial expressions. And
she only seems to remember to change the look on her face AFTER she's said
her lines. It always looks like an after thought.

February Spoilers
When Elizabeth is faced with a personal crisis, Lucky offers his
assistance. This will force Luke to face the a truth that he would prefer to
avoid.
Nikolas' recovery is aided by a surprising ally.
They say that one good turn deserves another, and you would think that is
the case when Carly decides to tell Bobbie the truth about her paternity,
after Bobbie helps Carly through the difficult process of bonding with her
son. But the consequences of Carly's honesty will rock the house of Spencer

----
The Apocalypse,
Port Charles Style
When Carly appears at the church during her son's christening, she is still
in the throes of her postpartum depression. Despite Jason's urging, Carly
refuses to participate in the ceremony or even touch her won. However, she
does intercede for the Quartermaines, despite Jason insistence that they not
be included.
Despite Carly's inability to bond with her son, Bobbie's own bonding spurs
her own to help Carly deal with the new role of motherhood ... an effort
that does not sit well with Carly. Once again, Carly's own bitterness comes
to the surface as she chastises Bobbie for giving her own child up at birth.
This attack urges Bobbie to finally "set the record straight," and what she
says is the key to opening up Carly's heart to accept her son in her life.
Both women go to Jason's apartment to see the baby, and as Carly cradles her
son in her arms she finally confesses the truth to Bobbie, and tells her
that she is her biological daughter.
* * * *
Mother and Child Reunions
Carly's back and Bobbie's got her ... little knowing she's trying to help
her daughter bond to her grandson. Two years ago Guza started laying the
groundwork in the Carly as Bobbie's daughter storyline. While fans have
been frustrated that this secret has taken so long to come to light, Guza is
thrilled it waited until his return so he could bring this story to
fruition.
Determined not to be like Bobbie, and abandon her child, Carly returns to
Port Charles. However, postpartum depression still has a firm grip on
Carly who finds herself afraid to hold her son. One the one hand, Carly
doesn't want to abandon her son like she felt she was abandoned, o the other
hand, she feels she hurts everyone who gets near her and fears she'll screw
up her child. Bobbie tries to help, unaware that Carly is still struggling
with depression. Between Bobbie's encouragement and Monica's disdain,
Carly's insecurity gets the best of her. When Carly lashes out at Bobbie,
she again brings up the fact that Bobbie gave her baby away, Bobbie tells
Carly exactly how she felt about loving a child enough to do what is in
their best interest. Bobbie and Carly bond, and Bobbie is able to convey
the magic of holding your child for the first time. Since Michael is at
the Port Charles Hotel with Jason, Bobbie agrees to take Carly to her her
son unaware that Virginia Benson has come to town to meet her "phone friend"
Bobbie.

We're Pregnant!!!
Sarah Brown and real-life fiancΘe, film executive Shuki Levy, will become
first-time parents this summer. Their engagement became official on July 14
(Bastille Day) in Paris, when Levy gave Sarah a beautiful diamond ring ...
amidst words of "Amore," standing on a hotel balcony, overlooking the Eiffel
Tower to the sound of fireworks in the distance.
When Sarah returned to the GH set the second week of January, following a
four-week absence to film a movie with Levy, she announced to everyone that
she was indeed "with child." However, due to the fact that she recently
delivered a baby on the show, it will not be possible to work her real-life
pregnancy into the storyline.
Sarah herself will require months of "strategic camera angles, properly
draped clothing and carefully crafted stage blocking will help to conceal
her condition." Fans can probably except that as Carly bonds with her baby,
the glow they see will actually be from the actress herself, as she
anticipates the arrival of her own child.
<Editor's Note: However, in the 1/27/98 chat transcript, Michael Kape said
Sarah Brown is not pregnant:

Could this have anything to do with Luke's rape of Laura? Hmmmm. I wonder.
If it does, I would say it is about time. I am way to young to have been
watching when the rape actually happened, but I heard about it. I heard that
Laura actually went to counseling, but then they brushed it under the rug
when they decided to put Luke and Laura together. Correct me if I'm wrong
but Rapists don't often marry their victims.

i am SO with you on that one! i usually like robin, but she is SOOOO
far out of line on this one it isn't even funny. first of all, for all
her talk that she doesn't see jason as brain-damaged, she's sure doing a
real good impression of his mother these days. (and i don't mean
monica--just that she's treating jason like a child who needs to be told
what to do.) and secondly, i agree with taiyin--she has NO clue what
she's talking about on this one. she wasn't at the q's the night of
em's birthday--in fact, does she even KNOW about that incident, as far
as we know? (did mike tell her that day at brenda's? i don't
remember...) she has such narrowly prescribed notions of "right" and
"wrong" that she can't even consider the possibility that aj's actions
and motivations put him in the wrong in this instance. and third, IT'S
NONE OF HER BUSINESS in the first place!!! she wasn't invited to that
christening either...so where does she get off popping up like little
miss fix-it, pulling jason aside, and telling him how to run his own
ceremony?!? i was just DISGUSTED with her...

LOL! have you been hanging around pc online? there's a poster there
named matt m who ALWAYS refers to her as "satanrobin"! (he's got some
very funny gh top ten lists, by the way, at his web site:
www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/4443/MMsGHTop10.html)
>As for AJ, he is her cohort in evil.
yeah, i'm having a very hard time mustering up any sort of sympathy for
aj on this one. you are so right that he just WANTS the child-- and
even though legally he's in the right, morally he is SO far in the wrong
that i don't want him to EVER get his hands on this baby. (i know, this
is exactly why we HAVE a legal system, so one person doesn't get to
impose their own notion of right and wrong on the rest of the
world...but i'm RIGHT dammit! <g> )

i thought it was odd the spoilers would be wrong on that too...although
they very clearly led up to jason's decision for AGES ahead of time, so
i definitely saw it coming by friday. but i think you're probably
right, that it will end up being something like michael robert and
they'll call him robert or some verson thereof. maybe mama carly will
even have an opinion on the subject! :) it's possible that between her
supposed last name of roberts, and grandma bobbie, she'll come up with
the robert part. who knows.
>Anyway, I'm glad they named him after Sonny, I really miss him.
yeah, i thought it was sweet. and it makes a lot of sense, if jason was
the one naming him, that that's the name he'd pick.

sorry to disappoint you, but based on what i've read, that's not it.
there was a question about that in last week's tvguide chat, which i
posted here last week sometime, and the guy who does the chats said it's
not the rape, it's not one of luke's memories that's involved, and in
fact the questioner had the wrong gender entirely. (not a direct quote,
but something like that) so the implication i got was that this would
be something to do with a female's past, that has something to do with
luke, which in my guess would be laura and nik's true paternity.
(assuming genie comes back, of course...they can't really bring that to
light without her...can they?)
i wasn't watching back during the rape thing either, and think it would
be kind of interesting if they WERE to tackle it now (if only so i could
see the clip--i'm very interested, after all i've heard about it. if
you're interested, i think taiyin has a transcript of the scene
somewhere on her ultimate gh link page)...but in another way i kind of
agree with something i read (that i can't remember if it was from guza
or logan) that it would seem kind of irrelevant to deal with that NOW,
after all these years of marriage. despite the fact that rapists and
their victims don't tend to marry, these two obviously did, and have
been married for many years and countless children, so why rehash it
now? (beyond that, what would it do to lucky and lulu if they DID?
does lucky know? (anybody know?) lulu's too young, but i would think
that knowledge would SERIOUSLY affect lucky if he didn't alreay know...)

OK, if you don't want to be spoiled, don't look down... mild spoilers for
today's GH.
Due to the flooding, and the next 3 storms waiting to move in, we got a
partial scene cut, and I was hoping somebody would be able to type up the
first part of the conversation that occured between Carly and Bobbie... the
one right after the commercial break, when Bobbie is talking about the day
her daughter was born. We lost about a minute of that, and I'm dying of
curiousity to know what she said.
Thanks!!

Bobbie lashes out when she learns Carly is her daughter
Bobbie's already imperfect world is turned even more upside down this
week when she finds out that Luke knows Carly is her daughter and
deliberately didn't tell her the truth.
Initially, Bobbie doesn't believe Carly when she tells her that she is
the daughter she gave up at birth, "because Luke said my daughter is dead,"
Jacklyn Zeman (Bobbie) says, in character. "There I am saying, "My version
is that you came to Port Charles and looked at my life and decided you
wanted it, and finding out about the daughter I had was a jackpot for you,
and all you had to do was slip right into those shoes.' There's not even a
question in my mind that she could be my daughter."
The irrefutable proof is the unexpected arrival of Carly's adoptive
mother, Virginia Benson, who confirms that Carly is, indeed, Bobbie's
daughter, Caroline. "I look at Virginia and ask, "This is my daughter?' and
she says yes, and I say [to Carly], "You little bitch,' and I walk out of
the room," Zeman says.
Bobbie can hardly comprehend what is happening. Did Luke know he was
lying (when he told her her daughter was dead?) Did Stefan know? Did Carly
know she was Bobbie's daughter when she stole her husband? Did she do it on
purpose? "There's also that mother thing," Zeman adds. "If Carly did all
this, what was my part in it? At one point I say to Virginia, "You and I
aren't responsible' - because Virginia tells Bobbie she thought she raised
Carly better than this, and she apologizes. I tell her Carly has always done
whatever she has wanted to do, but I don't know how much I really believe
that at this moment, because obviously there is something very wrong with
Carly."
Zeman says Bobbie is having a major identity crisis, not only because of
Carly but also because of Luke. "He has been the one constant in her life,"
she explains. "She has learned over the years that your husband can leave
you, your children can die, you can lose your job or your friends, but the
one thing that would always be there was Luke." In harsh confrontation,
Bobbie questions if Luke is really the big brother/protector he has always
claimed to be, and tells him that this deceit has changed things between
them forever." 'You're going to look at me one day and think Bobbie's OK and
we are over it, but we will never be OK and I will never be over it,' she
tells him. I don't say you are out of my life, but I do say that everything
you always claimed you were, you're not."
Adding insult to injury, Bobbie also learns that Luke made a deal with
Jason not to blow Carly's secret if she returned to town within a month.
"The whole world knew? That makes Bobbie even madder," Zeman says. "I was
the only patsy who didn't know! Did it ever occur to anyone to tell me that
Michael is my grandchild? It's total anger and betrayal for Bobbie."
Bobbie isn't the only one who lays into Carly. Tony, who learns that he
was sleeping with his wife's daughter, confronts her.
Lizzie is the victim of a terrible attack
Nikolas and Sarah's relationship has veered off course since his injury,
despite her numerous attempts to spend time with him. So this week when she
learns that Emily has been helping him with his recovery, Sarah is hurt, and
she decides to avoid contact with him. She does want to go to the
Valentine's Day Dance, however; she asks Lucky, and he agrees to be her
date.
Sarah doesn't realize that Lizzie really wants to spend time with Lucky,
too. Audrey encourages Lizzie to arrange to meet him at the dance. When she
finds out that her sister beat her to the punch, Lizzie decides to skip the
dance altogether and seeks refuge at the movies. Her evening goes from bad
to worse, however, because on the way home, Lizzie is attacked.
FEBRUARY SWEEPS!!
The dynamic between Lucky and Elizabeth is altered dramatically when he
helps her through a personal crisis. Lizzie's situation forces Luke to face
the darkest truth about his past.
A surprising ally helps Nikolas with his recovery.
When Carly has trouble bonding with her son, Bobbie intercedes. This spurs
Carly finally to reveal that Bobbie is her mother. The revelation causes a
major fallout for Bobbie, Carly, Luke and Tony.
Brenda realizes that being with Jax will make her happy, but the choice may
no longer be hers.
Alan's addiction forces him to take desperate measures that may be his
undoing.
Mac and Felicia turn the tables on Tess to discover her motives. The trail
leads them to a well-known Port Charles resident.
Helena begins using Katherine against Stefan in order to gain control of the
Cassadine empire.
Jason is forced to confront his life choices when his involvement with Carly
and the baby and Robin impact his effectiveness in the underworld.

The Ultimate Consequences Of Lying
In light of the fact that Carly stole Bobbie's husband Tony, and then
lied to Tony in an effort to keep him, telling him he fathered Michael,
Bobbie's reaction is about what you'd expect.
"I get really mad at her," previews Zeman. "I think she's lying. I say,
'What is it with you? At the first lovely moment of your life when you are
holding your baby, all you can think of is hurting me by coming up with the
fakakta story? You walked into Port Charles, took a look at my life, decided
you wanted it and stole my husband. And then, finding out about {the
daughter I gave up} was just another little jackpot for you. Now you're
going to pretend to be my daughter? What do you want from me?' "
In the middle of all this, Carly's adoptive mother, Virginia, walks in
and actually introduces Carly - real name Caroline - to Bobbie. "She says,
'Caroline, this is your real mother, Bobbie! ' That's when I know it's
true.
"And in all the drama of the moment, Carly is ripping Tony to shreds.
'You were such an old fool. It was interesting to be with you for about 5
minutes. I got over that real fast and then it just became about hurting my
mother. ' She totally degrades him with all the Quartermaines standing
around listening. And then to top it all off, Virginia Benson has a stroke
and dies right there!"
Yikes.
Next week, Bobbie will put the pieces together and realize that her
beloved brother Luke has known all about Carly. "I head off to Wyndemere to
talk to Stefan," reveals Zeman. "When your brother lies to you and your
daughter lies to you, who else are you going to turn to for the truth but
your mortal enemy?"
Stefan confirms everything, adding that Luke has known all along. "It's
the ultimate betrayal," shudders Zeman. "How could Luke lie? Put me through
this pain? We have a wonderful scene where I say, ' you've always said you
are my protector. What have you been protecting me from? The worst things
life has to dish out have come from you. You have hurt me more than anyone
else in my l life.' "
And after that, nothing will ever be the same for "GH" heroine Bobbie
Jones. "I will never be over this" confirms Zeman.

Bobbie Explodes When She Learns The Truth
Bobbie will feel a host of emotions including betrayal when it finally sinks
that Carly is the child she gave up for adoption, and Luke knew about it but
didn't tell her.
After Carly finally admits her real paternity, Bobbie believes that Carly
has stooped lower than ever to tear at her heart like this. She also
believes what Luke said: her daughter is dead. Bobbie does not waiver from
her long-held belief: Carly came to PC and made moves on everything that
Bobbie had and she herself wanted. In addition, she believes the Carly used
the knowledge of the child that "died" has a means to an end.
However, Bobbie has a complete turnaround after she meets Virginia Benson,
who came to town to pay Bobbie a visit. When Virginia confirms that the girl
who calls herself "Carly Roberts" is, in fact, Caroline Benson, she says
"You little bitch" to Carly and storms out of the room.
After this happens, Bobbie's begins to wonder who, besides Carly, knew the
truth. Did Luke? Did Stefan? Did Carly herself know, when she arrived in
Port Charles and set her sights on Tony (who was married to Bobbie at the
time), and were her actions willful? On the flip side, Bobbie begins to
wonder how of of Carly's actions she herself contributed to. Virginia
reassures Bobbie that neither is responsible. She tells Bobbie that Carly
always had a mind of her own and acted on it. While Bobbie tries to sort
through all the information, she comes to grips with the fact that Carly is
not "all there."
And then there's the issue of Luke, who until now has always been the one
constant in her life. Whereas a person can lose the spouse, children, job or
friends ... Luke transcended all of that. But the realization of this
betrayal will change the fibers of their relationship and Bobbie will see
look in a completely different light. Zeman best explained it when she
[Bobbie] said, 'You're going to look at me one day and think Bobbie's OK and
we are over it, but we will never be OK and I will never be over it,' she
tells him. I don't say you are out of my life, but I do say that everything
you always claimed you were, you're not."
And if that wasn't enough, Bobbie further learns that Jason also was privy
to this information, but he also agreed to remain mum about it, provided
Carly returned within a month. Luke knew? Carly knew? Stefan knew? Jason
knew? Did Amy also know? And to top things off, she realizes that these
people never bothered to inform her that Michael was her grandson? Bobbie's
emotions will give new definition to the terms anger and betrayal.
And as Carly will find out soon enough, silence is sometimes golden ...
after Tony also learns that his lover is the biological daughter of his
[now] ex-wife.
----
It Goes From Bad To Worse For Lizzie
When Sarah comes to the realization that Emily has been helping Nikolas with
his recovery, she feels it would be best if she keeps her distance. Trying
to mend her broken heart, she invites Lucky to be her date at the
Valentine's Day Dance, which he accepts.
Despite Audrey's encouragement that Liz hook up with Lucky at the dance,
after she arrives she sees that Sarah and Lucky are already together. Rather
than deal with his heartache she decides to leave the dance to go to a
movie. But what started out as a bad situation deteriorates into some far
worse, when Liz is attacked on the way home.
----
Hell Hath No Fury
Persistence pays off, and when Lorraine makes another attempt at seducing
Tony is is all to happy to comply. The two embark on a steamy sexual
relationship, but eventually he dumps her. Lorraine's "take" on the
situation is zilch. She loses out on everything including a chance to work
at GH.
What Tony will soon discover the Lorraine will remind him a *lot* of the
Glenn Close character from the movie Fatal Attraction. Any problems he had
from Carly will pale by comparison to what happens when Lorraine takes the
attitude "piss me off and pay the consequences."

Posted on: General Hospital Board (gh/main/5921-11325)
I just got the newest Soap Opera Magazine and it talks about the upcoming
story with Stefan, Kat and his feeling for Laura:
Guza explains that Stefan is very much in love with Katherine but haunted by
Laura. Stefan doesn't even realize the depth of his feelings for Laura. Guza
says that Stefan is the kind of man who will never be completely satisfied.
There's a place in him that can't be filled...in 10 years he will maybe
finds the person that fills it - that person could be Katherine or Laura.
MBE says that Katherine is under the impression that Stefan is over Laura.
She says that Katherine will be terribly hurt when she does find out. It
will color everything they've done together. Guza says that they're almost
playing a Rebecca kind of story which will build to a May sweeps climax
that's going to be huge - HUGE!
The article also gives quick summaries of these other plots:
''Spencer Secrets Revealed'' -- Bobbie and Luke will be on the outs over the
Carly secret. And right on the heels of this lie, comes another lie of
omission. Guza says ''We're gonna take an event from the past and blow it up
in the present.''
''Liz Not So Lucky'' -- Liz gets attacked at the park and Lucky is crossing
the park at the same time. Will he get there in time to save her?
''Jax Revealed As Murder Target'' -- Mac and Felicia capture James but
realize that Mac must impersonate Jimmy to find out Tess' plan. At the end
of the week, Tess has a phone call where it's revealed that Jax is the
intended murder target. Guza says ''We're going to build to a Hitchcockian
Wrong Man climax scene, where there's a major event that spirals off into a
different place.''
Looks like GH is going to be HOT!!!
I only summarized so PLEASE pick up this SOAP OPERA MAGAZINE...
In Guza I Trust

I admit I don't pay attention to the Brenda storyline, but
have they resolved the "was she fired from Jax Cosmetics"
question? I don't think it was Lucy's intention to replace
Brenda with Eve, though I suppose it would have had to have
been done eventually, given the GH/PC situation. Just
wondering if Brenda ever found out that she wasn't actually
dumped by Lucy...

Subject: GH/PC: Jackie Zeman Chat Transcript (SPOILER included)
Date: 10 Feb 1998 08:28:47 PST
came across this on pc online and thought i'd share.
slight, fairly well-circulated spoiler included...
julie
I just chatted with Jackie Zeman (Bobbie) at SoapCity and this is what
she had to say.
Jackie Zeman Chat Excerpts:
-Of all the leading men, who was your favorite and which one do you miss
now? Who would you like to see come back of them
JZ: Laughs.... Normally my favorite leading man is the one I'm working
with currently.... Of course, I don't have one right now!
I've been fortunate to have the best.... both on personal and
professional levels, and I would be delighted to have any one of them
come back!
I keep in touch with Rick Springfield, who livees in Malibu... we
cohosted an event for Cystic Fibrosis. We had a 20th Anniversary party,
and David Groh and Rick both came! Kin Shriner also came..... we go
back 20 years as buds on the show! Sam Behrens (who's married to
Shari Belafonte) is also a good friend.... they live close to us here in
Malibu!
-What do you consider your finest work on GH?
JZ: Tough question.... Some of the most challenging materials I've ever
been given was the BJ storyline (the emotional committment takes you
into terrifying territory).....
.... the Carly/Bobbie storyline is interesting, because of my
relationship with my real daughters (pre-teens both!) Not to say my life
mirrors the one on GH, but there are similarities to my real life.
-Jackie, I wanted to ask you, Will Bobbie ever forgive Carly for her
deception?
JZ: If you had asked me that question before I became a real mom, I
would have said no, but now that I'm a real-life mom, I look at the
situation, and I say, of course there's a future, because that's life!
The interesting thing for the audience will be how we get to that
point....
-What kind of relationship do you and Sarah Brown have off camera?
JZ: I'm so pleased to work with her, that it's spilled over into an
admiration from me for her. She's honost, straight forward, she always
knows the scenes, and gives the best performance.... that's the best
compliment you can give an actress, because she doesn't come off as a
young woman, she is a mature adult. She is really fabulous in this part.
-When Bob Guza first created the Bobbie/Carly storyline, did you ever
think it would be the enormous story it turned out to be, and that it
would touch so many characters?
JZ: I had no idea... I'm a huge Bob Guza fan, and he's so good at taking
a reality-based storyline and making it very real on a soap opera.... He
makes me feel that it all meshes together, and balances the reality with
the craziness that is so much a part of GH.
-What do you think of baby Michael?
JZ: They are twins, you know! They are beautiful. We started with these
two, who were premies, a few days before the holidays. I feel like I've
bonded with them. I shouldn't speak for Steve Burton, but I think he
feels the same way; I love playing a grandmother, even though I didn't
think it would be happening so soon!
This has been a few years in the making, an I'm gratefull that the
writers did this in a way that Carly has a whole life of her own, and
her own history. It has a lot more meaning this way! I can't go anywhere
in public without someone asking me ''when is Carly going to tell
you?!'' We're in the midst of ratings sweeps right now, so the timing on
this revelation is great!
-We all know that the one constant in Bobbie's life was the trust she
and Luke had. Now that Luke has broken the trust, what are the chances
of them mending fences in the near future?
JZ: I believe that those fences will get mended, but the breakdown and
betrayal that Bobbie is feeling right now has put her in a crossroads,
an identity crisis, where she's realizing that you can only depend on
yourself, and you have to take responsibility for all the good and bad
in your life and that pointing a finger is not the way to go. There's an
upcoming confrontation between Bobbie and Luke that's such an identity
crisis for her to realize.
The audience will like this, and it was so well written. In my
relationship with Luke, he's always been the ''big brother'', and now
there's a role reversal with the Carly/Bobbie thing where Bobbie is now
the older personality!
-Jackie, I was at Super Soap Weekend '97, and I loved seeing you there!
Did you have as much fun as I did?
JZ: That was a fun weekend, wasn't it?! What a great opportunity - I
hope I'm invited back again next year!
-When you're on the set are there any times when you can't stop
laughing?
JZ: Occassionally, but not often, because we 80-90 pages of dialogue a
day, which is a lot of ground to cover; no time to fool around!
Brad Maule is so humorless, serious on the show, but he's the most
underrated actor - in real life, he's a funny guy! They should see in
between takes....
-What's your favorite thing you've done for a Nurse's Ball?
JZ: The dance that Luke and Bobbie did - last year, the disco dance to
Donna Summer's ''Last Dance''! We had so much fun! The flashbacks, the
rehersals; we were a couple of kids thrown back into our youth! Maybe
we'll get to do a 30's or 50's thing next time....Tony has a dance
background, and he's such a good dancer!
-Do you see a big rivalry in store, between Monica and Bobbie?
JZ: Possibly, because where that grandchild is concerned, everyone'll
want that piece! It'll be interesting to see who gets his allegiance
once he grows up. I don't think the Quartermaines are good at sharing,
so there will be a bit of push-pull there.... I'm sure Bob Guza
(headwriter) has some things up his sleeve..... I asked him how far
ahead he was writing, but he's not telling!
-Jackie, What is your favorite memory working on General Hospital?
JZ: One: Emotionally memorable scenes have been with my family on the
show, because they're the ones I'm most bonded to in real life - Lucas,
BJ (Brighton Hereford).... Brighton was BJ from 6 months old, she was
the first child with pictures on my refrigerator.... I still
have it!
-Jackie, the clothes on GH are fabulous. Who are the designers and do
you have a hand in choosing the wardrobe for Bobbie?
JZ: Well, Bob Miller and Steve Howard are the designers team. Most of
the things you see (esp. coutiuer) are designed by them. They have
Emmies for their design.
I do have a little say in the look, more than the actual clothes... I
pick things from magazines, and they'll buy things from magazines, and
they'll buy things from design warehouses (esp. from NY).
I hope they found me a gown for the Soap Opera Digest Awards... :)
He has such great taste.
- Do you have a dance background too?
JZ: Yes, I was a professional dancer, and started when I was 5 in New
Jersey. I took Ballet, Tap, Jazz, etc. and now my own daughters are
doing dance - I'm so proud of them!
Dance background teaches you discipline, focus, and that if you pay your
dues, and get good , it'll pay off. You become a much more hard-working
person.... that's what it gave me.
-Will Tony and Bobbie ever get back together? I know I am not in the
majority, but I liked them together, and would like to see them back
together.
JZ: Perhaps.... I think there's so much water under the bridge that to
do that now would be untrue to life. She's really over Tony right now,
she needs to heal from Luke's betrayal, the disfunctional relationship
with Cassadine. She needs to find herself, heal herself, and the next
relationship should be a healthy one with a terrific
guy... don't know who that'll be.....
Spiritually women want to see Bobbie finally get with the right guy....
-Who would you like to see Bobbie paired with romantically?
JZ: It may be someone on the show, but no one yet that I've got my
sights on... It's always best if you develop from the stories/characters
already there, but the Bobbie/Tony thing won't happen. I hope it'll be
someone new....Wendy Riche will find someone fabulous!
-Was General Hospital your first television roll?
JZ: No.... my longest though, 21 years! My first job on tv was a
commercial for Jergen's soap - selling soap in a bathtub in a bank vault
for 30 sec.! My next was on ''Edge of Night'' with Dixie Carter and
Tony Craig.... My first contract role was on ''One Life to Live'', with
Jameson Parker - 22 or 23 years ago, for 2 years.
Then GH came along, and that was great, because I didn't audition or
screentest, and they offered the Bobbie role to me. It was such a boost
to my confidence and self-esteem that I JUMPED at it! and 21 years
later....
-Jackie, Happy 20th Anniversary, how much longer do you plan to stick
around GH? I hope a long tiome! :)
JZ: Thank you very much! I do plan to stick around at least for the next
few years, and I love my work, my job and my tv extended family.... this
was my dream to do work like this. The audience is so
supportive, and the writers have come up with great material for me to
do (esp. when I've been there so long).
-Do you or your family watch GH when it is on tv?
JZ: Not everyday, but occassionally. Lacey was 3 when we were in the
bathroom one day, and she looked at me and said ''You're Bobbie! You
were crying, and Grammie said you were pretending.''
Both the girls are familiar with the set, and when they're out of
school, they're there. They know everyone by the children of the other
actors! My kids are on the Christmas episodes every year....
-What's the most tear-jearking scene you've ever done?
JZ: Probably when BJ died... people tell me about their reactions from
people who experienced it in real life.
-What is your relationship with Tony Geary like off camera? Do you get
along well?
JZ: Always! And he's so cool, and he's great with kids (esp. for a
single guy). He loves musicals, and my girls like to see videos with
him. He's so generous and thoughtful, and I've transferred his being my
tv big brother to being a part of my real family.
-Have you or would you ever want to direct an episode?
JZ: Well, I don't think so... never had the desire to direct, but
producing is interesting to me... The acting is easy for me, so I enjoy
it because it doesn't feel like work anymore. Producing would bring
along new territory, and that would be interesting to try in the future,
but not right now... I'm comfortable right now.
-Will Bobbie help Carly through the death of her mother Virginia?
JZ: I don't think so... Carly lied about the situation with her,
pretending that Virginia was dead, even her own name (Caroline)....
Bobbie is so angry and turned off to her that she can't get passed that
right now, and it'll take time to lose the resentment towards her.
That's sad, but the reality of the moment....
-Are you glad the secret is finally out?
JZ: Yes! I've been wanting these scenes for so long, and I was curious
as to how they were going to structure this, and when I got the script,
I was in heaven!
-Hi... Do you know anything about the GH primetime special?
JZ: Yes! Mostly because we're shooting a hunk of it tomorrow.... It's a
history of GH from the WHOLE 35 years it's been on, all the characters,
all the hairstyles :), and Kin Shriner and I are doing the 70's - 80's
section of the program.
I think it's on April 2nd (?) at 10 pm on ABC - It'll be a very good
show.... especially for anyone who has a history with the show!
-What is Stephen Nichols like to work with? Will Stefan and Bobbie ever
get back together?
JZ: Well Stephen is very professional, prepared actor. I didn't watch
him when he was Patch on ''Days,'' and I'm told they're very different,
but he is absolutely wonderful here.
I feel the relationship between Bobbie and him had potential for a real
spark, but the overzealousness to get the Stefan-Catherine thing left
the Bobbie-Stefan thing kinda hanging.... part of that was just bad
timing: Bob Guza had left, and we had different writers, and now Bob's
back, but in the meantime, the storylines were written.
Personnally I'm a little sad, and would've loved to see it bloom.
-Ms. Zeman, I apologize for joining the chat late. I just wanted to let
you know how much I have enjoyed your portrayal of Bobbie.... from the
time you first joined the show. Do you find it difficult to balance your
work and your family life? You seem to manage it all so well!
JZ: What a lovely thing to say! Thanks for the compliment! Some days I
do it well, and other days it's not so easy.... My kids are already
thinking about what they want to do with their lives and how to go about
getting there. There are days when, like all working mothers, I get
pangs of guilt, but I think our family has found a happy medium.
My daughter Cassidy (in 2nd grade) gets paid $2 a script to read lines
with me at night!!!
-If you could make up your storyline for the next 6 months, what would
it be?
JZ: OOOOHhhh.... Probably pretty close to where it is right now... I'd
like to see her meet somebody, and someone get interested on her, and
she not be anxious to jump right in. I want the audience to see that
just because you're over 40 doesn't mean you have to be single.
I want to see what happens with Carly, and how we get through that...
and what goes on with Lucas, because he's not in the storyline enough.
Soaps do have a tendancy (and GH like all others) to gove the romance
over to the younger characters, and I believe that when you hit 40, you
get married, you wear neglige's and get sexy in bed, and we should be
able to see that!
-Do you ever visit General Hospital Web sites?
JZ: I don't have a computer at GH, and at home, my husband and kids are
always on it.... I have to get on it more!
-Ms Zeman, you are obviously aware of the legions of fans you have on
the internet. Do you ever read any of the newsgroups to see what we are
saying about GH?
JZ: Once, someone sent me a transcript, but I can only see them now if
someone prints them for me! I find it fascinating because this is all so
new, but now I'm beginning to realize that you have to be hip to this!
-Were you happy with the show today?
JZ: I haven't seen that show, but earlier I was at Planet Hollywood with
Sarah Brown (Carly), and saw a little clip on this HUGE screen! We did
tape it though, so I'll see it tonite. I don't usually watch, though,
because the last thing I wanna do after a long day of shooting it's the
last thing I want to see.
JZ: Well, I'd like to thank everyone for showing up to this, this has
been so fun... to talk about the present, and relive the past. As far as
the future, the next few weeks are going to be SPECTACULAR, you won't
want to miss it.... For me, thank you personally for all your support,
and I'm aware that all this wouldn't be happening for
me without the audience, so thank you so much! Goodbye!

OK...what did everyone think about the confrontation between Bobbie
and Stefan? I thought it was great to see Stefan oozing malice. He
plays a great complex villian. I liked it when he admitted he
didn't tell her when they were married because it would have hurt her
and then after the divorce it was a weapon he didn't need. That
seemed so true of character...it is over no second chance.(aka...Alexis?)
I thought Carly/Caroline would be the one to spill the beans about
Luke, but to have STEFAN do it is even worse. Of course, he has no
reason to lie to Bobbie. One thing that bothered me was that he said
the only reason he was graciously granting Bobbie the info. that her
brother was lying to her was because she was nice to Nik. I think it
was more than a "duty" or "repayment". Any thoughts on this??
JZ Rocks...she has been great lately.
On another note...I usually love Robin, but she is starting to bother
me with her pleas for Jason to do the "right" thing. I know it is
wrong to keep Michael from AJ and all, but that is ALL she talks
about. I would like for her to get a real storyline....after all she
could have been a bigger part in this Mac/Jimmy thing. JMHO..she is
a much better actress than the material she has been given lately. I
hope Guza livens things up soon...I have faith he will.
have a great day everyone!!

Well, now that I am FINALLY caught up and not swamped with either work or
homework, I can comment.
I LOVED this scene. It was incredibley well done. It was also inevitable.
Guza has said from the beginning that he thought the Bobbie/Stefan dynamic
was fabulous and that he could easily see it playing out for YEARS (and
that's part of why he doesn't like the Kat/Bat thing), and so it was just a
matter of time before he did SOMETHING to give them a scene together --
even if it is as enemies again.
>I thought Carly/Caroline would be the one to spill the beans about

But it made for fabulous drama. :-)
>Of course, he has no

I thought that was kind of a stupid thing to say. I mean, it was a very
tactical move for him to have witheld that info before, and now that she
knows it, there is no point in his trying to deny that he knew it. And the
entire notion that he doesn't care if Bobbie and Luke are at each other's
throats is ABSURD. That kind of thing is a huge emotional drain -- not to
mention distraction. Of course Stefan would relish Luke being preoccupied
with his sister (again), and not paying as close attention to other matters
as he should.
>JZ Rocks...she has been great lately.
I *totally* agree. She goes through waves of really irritating me, but
lately she's been fabulous.
And Brad Maule is doing a fabulous job of making Tony pathetic and
contemptable.
>On another note...I usually love Robin, but she is starting to bother
>me with her pleas for Jason to do the "right" thing. I know it is
>wrong to keep Michael from AJ and all, but that is ALL she talks

I agree. Kimberly is too good to do that one note bit; and Robin has too
much history to squander her that way, too.
I was amused at that little "test" yesterday, though. Why don't TPTB just
put a sign up over Kimberly and Christopher Tyler: "Potential Love Interest
Test Screening." <snort>
>I would like for her to get a real storyline....after all she
>could have been a bigger part in this Mac/Jimmy thing.
Speaking of which -- did anyone else notice that Mac didn't even bat an eye
at Robin being back in town (thoguh at least he had a semi-genuine reaction
to Robin and Jason possibly getting back together)? Mac was already locked
away in the cabin when Robin showed up. The last he heard she was in Paris
and now, not only is she back, but she's back to stay and he says NOTHING?
I did enjoy Felicia decking him, though. :-)
More than anything else, though, I must say that last year, when Sarah
Brown won her Emmy I couldn't understand why. Over the past few days, the
only thing I can think about is that I can't imagine her *not* winning
again. She has been so incredible -- especially yesterday when Virginia
died. The way she was lashing out at everyone was fabulous.
Of course, not QUITE as fabulous as THE confrontation that we've been
waiting for for over a year: Luke and Bobbie.
Oh boy, they were incredible. Totally awesome. The bit about Luke playing
cards with the johns while Bobbie was hooking was great. TG and JZ were
both awesome.
And then later when Luke was with Carly -- they were both great again. I
*love* them together (and the bit about her being a self-professed Spencer
meaning that she'd never get him off her back was rather classic, too). I
am really glad, though, that Luke didn't cut her too much slack, though.
She may be sympathetic at the moment, but Virginia was right: just because
she tells the truth one night doesn't undo all the damage she's done.
But I did almost applaud Virginia's comment in the Grille about, based on
what everyone else has said about Tony, she doesn't like him, either. <g>
And HE was asking to be smacked -- how in the hell does that deluded jerk
think that it was *Carly's* fault that he left his wife and son? I don't
THINK so. He is a big boy and if he can't control himself then that is not
HER fault.
I am really sorry they killed off Virginia, though. I don't think that,
tactically speaking, it was really the best time to do that. But now that
it's done, I hope Guza makes the most of it.

I admit, my expectations for Monday were too high. I was disappointed by
JZ; I wanted far more fireworks than I got, though Tony's almost instant
understanding that *this* was the truth was great. And, of course, I
*love* the fact that in order to keep her "I never cared for Tony" charade
going, Carly can't even defend herself against the charge that she was
deliberately trying to hurt Bobbie. A wonderful piece of irony, that.
But still, I was disappointed. Until Tuesday and Wednesday. Sarah Brown
and Brad just kicked...er, butt in the last scenes on Tuesday. The
absolute scathing bitterness that they felt for one another was phenomenal.
And then...
>Of course, not QUITE as fabulous as THE confrontation that we've been

Oh yes. I was in heaven. And Luke and Carly at the hospital too--very
well done. Even given all of Luke's nasty comments about Caroline to
Bobbie in the earlier scene, he all but admits everytime he talks to her
that she's Spencer, and that counts for something with him. I love these
three. I can't wait until Luke finds out Jason isn't Michael's father....

It was almost frightening, actually. And the way they ripped into each
other after Virginia died at the hospital yesterday. <shudder>
I do like them together a hundred times more now than I did when they were
all sappy sweet, though. By boy, they sure don't pull any punches, do
they? Wow.

So do I. And I love that it *does* matter to Luke. He could have very
easily just walked away from her, once and for all, and let her go do her
own thing now that the truth is out and he doesn't have the threat of
hurting Bobbie hanging over him anymore. The fact that he points out to
her AGAIN that she is a Spencer, period, is really cool.
I can't wait to see today when he tells Lucky.
>I can't wait until Luke finds out Jason isn't Michael's father....
That one will prove fun, too. Let's just hope they don't leave us hanging
for quite as long as they did with Carly's last big revelation. Sheesh. I
don't think my heart can take another two years of torture when it comes to
this girl.
And if ANYONE can appreciate defending that kid from life as a
Quartermaine, Luke can. ;-)

I do, too, and I still can't stand Carly-- but when she's with Luke, I
watch. When he asked her yesterday if she needed any help with the
arrangements-- my heart just skipped a beat. I was disappointed that
Carly responded with her patented "I can take care of it," without
realizing what Luke was offering, in his own way. HE was offering the
support you give a member of your family. :)

True, but you can't really blame her for shrugging it off. She just

True. But if she had accepted his h*lp at this point, it would have been a
little suspicious.
After all, Luke hasn't exactly given her many reasons to trust him. She
was seriously surprised when he said that she had done the right thing. I
think part of her was still honestly afraid that he would carry out his
original threat to kill her.
Eventually they'll work it out, and then it'll be cool. But for now, I
actually really like their mututal distrust and loathing -- especially when
tempered with a bit of reluctant sentimentality.

Agreed. I guess what I was looking for was more of an acknowledgement,

And hardly her only one, either.
That's part of what I keep waiting for, here: no one has pointed out that,
frankly, Carly's behavior has had a very definite "Spencer" quality to it.
I think they are conveniently forgetting that Bobbie was not always a
paragon of virtue. Her schemeing manipulations may not have been as
dramatic as Carly's, but her means weren't much different. And her motives
were rarely as understandable.
And we don't even need to START in on Luke.
But I guess that doesn't really fit in with the current image of Bobbie.
Too bad. It would certainly make things interesting.

Whoa. Tony just keeps slipping farther and farther into the abyss, doesn't
he?
I certainly hope that Brad Maule was in the mood for a haircut. ;-)
I also really enjoyed the conversation between Luke and Lucky. I'm glad
that Lucky was *not* ok with Luke keeping that secret.
Lucky and Sarah, though, were beyond icky. Yucky, even. Seriously icky
and majorly yucky. Lucky and Yucky. Yuck.
But, the best part of all of that was Tony and Luke. And their matching
haircuts. ;-)
And Tony is totally cracked -- he honestly thinks that he would have done
something different if he had known? Please, get real. And, why should it
matter? He was screwing around on his wife and yet if he knew his mistress
was his step-daughter he would have miraculously grown a conscience and put
a stop to the whole thing? Gimme a break.
I am kind of enjoying the deconstruction of Tony, though. He's more
interesting this way than he has been since he was listening to Maxie's
heart pound in BJ's chest.
He was certainly asking to get klobbered yesterday, though.

Love Is In The Air
Helena continues to use Alexis to try to bring down Stefan and regain
control of the Cassadine dynasty. After planting seeds in Stefan's mind so
he will think about Laura, Helena demands that Alexis get Katherine to buy a
stone bench for Wyndemere. Helena is pleased with Alexis' work, and says
that more assignments await her.
Fortunately for Alexis, Ned manages to get her mind off Helena when he comes
to her hotel room to celebrate Valentine's Day. Ned's gift is a sound
machine that he says will "take" her anywhere she wants to go. Alexis
chooses wherever there is no telephone, fax or family. After sampling the
machine's offerings, Alexis tells Ned that they are in a tropical rain
forest. They kiss passionately, and make love for the first time.
----
Could There Be Someone New For Robin
When a jealous Sarah snidely tells the Quartermaines how much time Emily is
spending with Nikolas, helping him learn to talk again, the Q's put their
foot down. All seems to be going Sarah's way - until Emily seeks advice from
Robin.
"The Quartermaines tell Emily she can't go to see Nikolas anymore, and Emily
is very upset," explains Kimberly McCullough (Robin). "While trying to
comfort her, Robin says, "Do you think Nikolas will work with me?" Emily
says she doesn't know, but she can try."
Although Robin has only met Nikolas once, she goes to Wyndemere to ask him
if he'll work with her instead of with Emily. While Robin is explaining to
Katherine why she's come, Stefan overhears and tells Robin that Nikolas is
not in need of any outside assistance. Never one to be intimated, Robin
tells Stefan that she'll wait for Nikolas to return from his horseback
riding to ask him herself. Upon Nikolas' return, Stefan is surprised to see
the young man's response to Robin. And while Nikolas is reluctant at first,
he agrees to give it a shot.
Meanwhile, Robin is dealing with her unresolved feelings for Jason.
Witnessing Jason's growing attachment to Michael, she worries how he will
feel ultimately if he must give up the baby. Robin is also uncomfortable
with Carly and Jason's growing intimacy as they share the responsibility of
a child.
"It concerns Robin that Jason is living with a woman who is basically a
liar," McCullough adds. "It's a very strange situation when your
ex-boyfriend is living with someone everyone thinks he cheated on you for."

I heard some speculation in one of that Chatrooms that Tony is accused then
acquitted of this crime. Would anyone like to place bets? Do you think it
will turn out to be someone with character connections or will it be a
virtual nobody? I guess the crucial question is do we think that Lizzie was
raped? Personally I do. I guess we will find out this week.

I am beginning to really dislike Sarah. At the start I thought that she was
OK. Now I think that she is turning into a bitch. I mean look at the way she
used Lucky. She invited him to the dance, then she talked about Nikolas the
entire time. Now, this stunt with Emily is really mean. I don't now if Sarah
realizes this, but Nik doesn't really have any friends. Is she willing to
make him lose Emily just because she is jealous? If she really cared about
him she would be supportive. Also, Em and Nik have been friends for much
longer than Sarah and Nik. I wonder if Em and Nik will find out what Sarah's
real motives are.
Oh yeah. I have a question. the spoilers say that Sarah does this Emily
thing on Wednesday. If Liz has been attacked in the park, shouldn't Sarah be
concerned enough for her sister to forget about Nik for at least 24 hours.

God I hate the idea of Robin and Nik. I hate the idea of Robin period. The
way she has been acting with Jason lately just drives me crazy. Where does
she get off telling him what to do. I personally wouldn't mind if TPTB wrote
Robin off the show. I gag every time I think of a relationship between Robin
and Nik. Their characters seem so uncompatible. God, I think I am going to
throw up. Anyway, Why would Mac think that The Cassadines would be an
improvement over Stone and Jason. Will we have to go through that entire Mac
not improving scenario all over again. That would be so lame. My sister just
pointed out that Nikolas is a few years younger than Robin. She is what 19
now, and he is 16. If they had sex Robin could go to jail.

Today's episode was powerful. It was just wow. I can't remember the name
of the actress that plays Lizzie, but she did a really good job. I must also
commend Jonathan on his job today. I am glad that Lucky is going to be
supporting Liz in this story line. I mean today is the first time that I
have actually liked Lucky. In all that Cassadine vs. Spencer Nik vs. Lucky
stuff, Nik IMHO was always in the right. Lucky used to always act like an
ass. Now that they have him working on a non-Cassadine story he is actually
a decent guy. I couldn't believe it when Lucky started to cry today. I have
never seen that side of him. He was acting so supportive and protective. I
will agree with Luke that Luke is maturing very nicely. All I have to say is
Lucky is the man.
I can't wait till this whole story comes to light. I know that it is to
soon being as it just happened. Still, it will be one of the better stories
that has happened in the recent past. I am going to go and re-watch the
episode. I will have more to say later.

Technically, I suppose that info about actors who are

Also, I'd like to remind everybody on the GH/PC list who is
not on the K&L list (as so hasn't already heard this) that
you shouldn't forward other people's posts without the
express consent of the original author--that includes
spoiler info that they might provide. It's common

oh, YUCK. we all know tony's a bit over the edge these

i'm going with the virtual nobody. it was portrayed
so viciously, i can't think of any existing character
they would want to make capable of doing something
that horrible, and that irredeemable. (i know, can we
say "luke"? more on that in my next post...)

i totally agree. i've always liked lizzie as an actress (at least in
comparison to sarah--YUCK!), but her character has been more than a tad
grating. a bit too one-dimensional (like lark on pc, for that matter.)
but since the day she and audrey had their heart-to-heart at the
hospital, and she came back positively RADIANT after successfully asking
lucky to the dance, i've REALLY begun to like her. and this whole attack
thing--she was just great, in my opinion.
>I must also commend Jonathan on his job today.
this is the part that really surprised me. i've NEVER liked lucky.
he's always been WAY too much of a brat for my taste. but i was
practically cheering him on in friday and monday's eps. i loved when he
told off sarah and went looking for lizzie, and he was just WONDERFUL
with her after he found her. (i was a little annoyed at him leaving her
alone--after all, he could have left a message for bobbie to call him
the SECOND she got out of surgery--but that's just quibbling. i was
mostly pissed because that gave her the opportunity to take a shower,
which i was hoping she'd be smarter than to do. but oh well...) all in
all, lucky was great, and i was pleased to see a bit of a character
turnaround on his part. i think this is going to rock his world in a
BIG way...particularly if it goes where i suspect it's going.

they've shown, that the new tv guide chat guy was WAY wrong (he needs
some new sources, NOW. he is no logan, that's for sure...), and that
they are INDEED going to tackle the luke/laura rape thing. (i think
THAT would be enough to lure genie back, don't you? :) and i for one
can hardly wait. i know i said before that i think it's kind of
irrelevant at this point, after they've been married for so long--and i
do still believe that--but i didn't really realize that lucky didn't
know. WOW is that going to KILL him. i'm not sure the relationship
between luke and lucky will ever recover from that shock, unless luke
finally does some serious soul-searching...which should be AWESOME to
watch. i can't wait!
yeah for gh! at last...something non-brenda-related to watch!

good point, but...unless nik suddenly turns out to be hiv+, i don't see
any circumstance, EVER, under which robin would have sex with him
anyway. not technically anyway, which is all that matters for statutory
rape.
but i'm with you on hating the whole idea of the two of them anyway.
this whole set-up is ridiculous. why on earth would she have introduced
herself to him in the hospital, and WHY would she go see him now??? it
makes no sense...

Guza said that "Lizzie's rape will start small and build into
something big." He also said that "it will involve at least 10
characters (including Nik and Emily) and will fundamentally change
their whole perspective about relationships, being a teenager, and
life itself." Guza hints that Audrey will eventually find out, but
her response will not be what we'd predict. "we're going to reach
back into Audrey's past, there are a couple of aspects of her life
that are going to directly influence her granddaughter"
I read that when Lucky tried to contact Lizzie the next day, she is
in bed with flu symptoms. Audrey thanks him for showin Lizzie such a
good time. Lizzie refuses to discuss what happened and pleads that
her not tell Audrey aobut it. Mustering up courage, Lucky asks
Lizzie straight up if she was raped. Liz nods then collapses in his
arms. she begs him to forget she ever told him, but he doesn't think
he should. the two share an intense heart-to-heart about the
possibility of HIV and pregnancy. Later, Liz returns to work at
Kelly's but becomes inexplicably frightened when Mr. Murty approaches
her. Luke and Bobbie do their best to comfort her, but she breaks
down and bolts. Determined to get to the bottom of the bruises she
noticed on her sister, Sarah follows Lizzie outside where Lizzie
confides she was raped. Taking Liz in her arms, Sarah asks who did
it. Through tears, Liz admits she doesn't know.
this is going to be a great story!!

Now, as for yesterday's GH... wow. Double wow.
Aside from the fact that, on principle, I have a problem with rape as a
storyline, I must say that if they handle it as well as they did yesterday,
I will be able to forgive it.

Becky Herbst. And I totally agree. I'm really glad they are giving her a
storyline. I think most people wrote her off so early on that, because of
the pitiful story she had, it wasn't necessarily obvious that she can act.
Yesterday she showed she can.

I love Lucky. I always have. But yesterday he was incredible. Absolutely
amazing. Lucky crying in the scenes where he was telling Luke and then at
the end after he took Lizzie home -- fabulous. And absolutely
heart-wrenching. I had to watch those several times before I could absorb
the entire scene.

No kidding. That's the side of Lucky that I love. That's the way he's
always been with Emily, too. Gods help me or I'm going to start liking
Lucky and Lizzie.

Hopefully it will be. I think soaps have a very bad habit of doing a
disservice to rape storylines. If they follow through with how they
handled eysterday, though, it should be pretty good.
The performances all the way around were so right on. The whole scene with
Luke and Lucky was amazing. I'll probably have to watch that one a few
more times still.

Can't argue that! <g>
Hopefully now they'll get onto something else. They have all kinds of
subplots that have been simmering in the background during this thing. Now
that they can cut this albatross loose, maybe we can move onto some of the
more interesting things waiting in the wings.
Like Kevin & Lucy GETTING MARRIED. <ahem>
And Matt and Ellen.
And this Chris/Eve/Scott thing. I do wish they'd go back to plying up the
Chris/Eve bit, though. I like Scott and Eve, but they've been together so
much lately that they've effectively removed Chris from the equation and I
miss him being there.

I don't think Lizzie'd agree. Lucky, either. I think this story is being
taken from more of a reactionary stand point than anything else. I mean,
while this certainly DID happen to Lizzie, the Spencers are being played
into this VERY heavily, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. And
frankly, if it weren't for the Spencer angle, I don't think they would have
done this story at all (and that, ovjectively speaking, is probably one of
the worst reasons for them to do it; too bad it makes such compelling
story). Eventually I think they'll really HAVE to focus much more on
Lizzie, but for now, as we saw yesterday we are getting a very, very heavy
dose of Lucky's reaction to this.
As for whether or not Tony was involved... aside from the fact that I don't
think they've bottomed Tony out to the point of doing that, I don't
honestly think the show would be willing to risk Brad Maule that way.
And I think there is a trend to consider, too: historically on soaps, when
one main character rapes another main character it's a matter of date rape,
or at the very least aquaintance rape. It almost ALWAYS boils down to a
matter of he said/she said (Marty's rape on OLtL is about the only
exception to that I can think of; but Todd did not become a main character
until after that). Certainly not "better" in any way, but most DEFINITELY
not the same thing as grabbing a teenager off a park bench, dragging her
into the bushes, beating the crap out of her, raping her and then leaving
her there to fend for herself, half dressed, in the freezing snow.

Just caught part of a GH promo-- there's a scene with Luke saying to Bobby
something like "If you want me to explain to Lucky what happened between
me and his mother a million years ago, you're insane!" Geary looks
reeeeeally scary when he says this.
They're definitely doing this to lure back Genie. Not a doubt in my mind.
There were a dozen other storylines they could have done very easily to
involve Lucky with Lizzie-- this one was SPECIFICALLY chosen.

well, yeah, it's boring...but they do it all the time. for example: who
killed dorman? monica? emily? ned? jason? uh-uh. tin man. WHO?
or, did you watch 90210 back in the early days? all the commercials for
the "very special episode" where "one of the gang is going to die"? who
was it? random guy--david's little friend.
all these shows do that, because they don't want to either kill off a
very popular character (unless contract negotiations force them to), or
make a popular character do something so heinous that the audience would
never forgive it. yes, tony's gone off the deep end. but considering
the large percentage of the audience (i'm guessing here) who still can't
get the image of a bereft tony bending down over maxie to listen to bj's
heart inside her cousin's chest...i REALLY don't believe they'd have him
rape a teenager. lorraine, maybe--she's older, and she's kind of
unsympathetic, so it wouldn't be SO horrible (yes, a rape is still
horrible regardless...but you know what i mean, right?). or do
something evil to carly--who could blame him? but no amount of dementia
could explain away doing what that attacker did to lizzie, who's only
slightly older than bj would have been had she lived. i don't buy it.
i can see them accusing him, because he HAS gone off the deep end--and
the new look will probably figure into it once lizzie describes her
attacker. but i REALLY don't think it will end up being him--even if it
WOULD be more interesting that way.

>appreciated!
Several good things, though my biases undoubtedly show. <g>
First of all is, the wrap-up of the Rex nightmare: K&L are at the hospital
so Lucy can get tests. She decided not to tell Scott anything, because she
didn't want to ruin his reunion with Serena. The judge overturned Scott's
conviction based on Conklin's testimony and Rex's videotaped confession.
He also arranged for custody of Serena to be returned to Scott. And
Conkilin kept quiet about Scott's escape. (And, like Julie said yesterday,
despite the fact that this whole thing wrapped up unrealistically fast, I
am so grateful that I won't gripe about it.)
Scott and Serena went home to the firehouse to find Karen and Eve there
with a celebration. Karen later spotted Eve and Scott kissing. She and
Eve had a talk about Eve's relationship with Scott. Eve told Karen that if
she had a problem with it to please tell her. Karen swore she was cool and
she was happy for both of them.
Audrey commented to K&L that she was happy that they nabbed Rex and she was
especially delighted that they hadn't really broken up after all. She did
ask, however, why they were there and Lucy felt guilty for CONTINUING to
lie to people. Kevin assured her that they were entitled to their privacy
-- adn that she had EARNED the right not to discuss Rex. Besides, they
didn't know if it was even true yet or not, so there was no point in
worrying people unnecessarily.
Joe ran blood tests for Lucy, while Julie and Chris gossiped about
them/her. Joe overheard and went ballistic about how Lucy was a hero for
saving Serena. Chris commented on her recent "behavior" and Joe pounded
him, saying that it was an act for Rex's benefit. Chris counter with "how
was I supposed to know that"? ("What the hell business is it of yours to
pass judgement in the first place" is my question...) Julie and Chris both
questioned Joe about his mood.
He was upset because he had to give Lucy the bad news: there is something
in her system, though he can't yet isolate what it is. Her white blood
cell count it up and she's got a stomach ache, but so far that's about it.
Garcia called Scott at the firehouse and told him about Lucy. He barreled
over there, just before Joe gave them the news. Scott told Joe that he
didn't care what it cost, but he wanted everyone in the hospital working on
Lucy's case if that's what it took. The ep ended with Kevin leaving and
Lucy asking him where he was going. He answered: "I'm going to find out
what Rex did to you if I have to beat it out of him."
And he was so calm Rex would worry about his own safety if he wasn't such
an egomaniac.
The other part of the ep was Ellen and Matt. Some of the interns chriped
around Matt about how he landed in the hospital, yadda, yadda, yadda. And
they all bought his sotry about the exploding can of terpentine. Ellen,
however, got ahold of his x-ray and discovered that there are bullet
fragments still lodged in his spine. She confronted him and he admitted,
reluctantly, that he didn't injure his back in a skiing accident, after all.
She continued to pres shim about why he refused to go to the hospital. He
said because he didn't want anyone tracing him back to GH. She said that
didn't make any sense, because if someone was looking fo rhim they wouldn't
have a hard time finding him, because the name "Matt Harmon" had been in
the computers for months.
He said he was glad to hear that because "Matt Harmon" was not his real name.
I think that was about it...

Well, though it could not possibly compare to Monday, watching Lucky

Bobbie pointed out that Lizzie's decision wasn't "wrong" and that it was
her's to make.
And watching Lucky's face while Audrey was going on about how happy Lizzie
was about the dance etc. was painful. And though I certainly don't think
Lucky should be blamed for what happened to Lizzie, I do want him to feel
guilty for dumping her in favor of Sarah like a big jerk.
I especially loved, though, that he is determined to live up to what Lizzie

I'm confused. Why is it a secret that Lucy has been poisoned (I assume
that's what the "lie" is?)? I realize there's "no point in worrying people
unnecessarily," but the reaction you described for Lucy to Audrey's
question is kind of odd.
>Garcia called Scott at the firehouse and told him about Lucy.
Huh? I love the way Garcia just shows up randomly... Presumably they've
paid off the actor who played Conklin, so they had to have Garcia break the
news.

Actually, what happen was, Audrey asked K&L why they were at GH instead of
off celebrating. And Lucy said that she was just having some routine tests
run. After Audrey walked away she made a sort of off-handed comment along
the lines of, "Will I EVER be able to stop lying to everyone?" I think it
was mostly design to show how sick and tired of this whole thing she is.
It's not that the poinsoning is a secret, but they didn't want it getting
out until they knew for sure.

Actually, Garcia was off-camera. If I didn't have the closed captioning

I love Bobbie and am very glad that she is there for Lucky. Now I
wish Laura would come back, not because of the L&L rape debate, but
because BOTH of her sons need her. She still doesn't know about Nik
does she??(ugh!!!! As much as I like Luke, I really dislike the way
he omits certains truths from people who have a right to know about
them.)

RH is also doing great!! I TPTB play this out right....so far the
story AND the characters have alot of potential. Sounds like a
recipe for success for me!!:):):)
OK-I heard a while back that one of Helena's henchmen rapes Lizzie.
I'm not sure about that, but it would involve the Cassadines into this,
which is Guza's favorite pasttime:) The more I think about it the
more interesting it could be. The rapist himself is not a major
player, but he has connections to some very major players. What do
ya'll think??

i haven't seen today's ep yet, so maybe you had something more specific
in mind, but robin's really been infuriating me lately. kimberly is too
good of an actress, and robin has the potential (and HISTORY) to be too
fascinating a character, for both of them to be wasted on the drivel
we've been seeing lately. the only high point was her kiss with jason,
if only because it was a break from what she's spent every day doing
since she got back from paris--preaching to people who don't care about
subjects which are none of her business, while ignoring the people who
DO care and the subjects which ARE.

That is ALL guza's fault becasue Filly and Mac won't let her in on
it. SHE IS MAC'S NIECE...she NEEDS to know what is going on!!

She also said something about not letting Rex have anymore power over
her which I took to be a little denial on Lucy's part (the more people
she had to tell the truer it became). But I also like Taiyin's theory
that this is how the writers show us that Lucy is tired of the lies.
I thought Kevin's remark that it wasn't anybody's business and Lucy had
every right to lie was an interesting character defining moment. This
is the usually truthful Kevin's philosophy--that if it is your personal
pain you don't have any obligation to confide in people who care about
you. This is were he is always dishonest and the writers have been
consistent. Reading Rika's transcripts makes me wonder how much
progress Kevin has really made. Oh, sure, he has opened up and
shared things with Lucy and Mac but Tuesday's line makes me wonder
how much he really understands why this is necessary.

I have mentioned earlier that I had heard that one of Helena's

This could be the Cassadines or the Spencers. Nik would not take it
well if his family is responsible for Liz's rape. He could certainly
blame his grandmother, but also Stefan because he is supposed to keep
an eye on Helena and try to control her. After all, he is supposed
to be more powerful. BUT if Lucky were to find out about the L&L
rape debate, then the family will certainly implode.
>a new romance will blossom and a
this will probally be Nik and Robin. I doubt they would do that to
Liz and Lucky yet. But didn't Guza say when he first came on that
he was going to concentrate on the Jason/Robin relationship because
he likes them together?? Could this mean someone else?? who??

Cassadine vs. Spencer....duh! (everything in PC revolves around it)

so far i agree with you excpet the imploding family could go either
way, but from the looks of it, the Spencers will implode!!

It *does* seem obvious, doesn't it?
I'm not sure I have an opinion on Robin and Nik, though. I can't stand
Sarah, and it's obvious that Nik is going to be in town for quite a while,
so I suppose the Robin/Nik angle had to be tried. I wonder how Jason would
react...
I'm constantly bewildered by ages, btw. Just how old are these characters
supposed to be? It doesn't really matter, but I'm just curious.

well, my first thought is thanks for posting this, because it inspired
me to go check pc online, SURE that someone would have posted a
transcript. and, sure enough...here it is, in its entirety, along with
my own thoughts on the subject...
*************************************
Cindi Rhinehart: Bob, How are you?
Bob Guza: I'm doin' great down here, how are you?
CR: I'm so glad you did this with us. We've only got a few minutes, so I
want to push right thru if I may....Tony Geary said it himself, you
heard him (referring to a clip), he said you're the man to make it
happen. What were your goals when you came back to GH?
BG: Well Cindi, the first thing I wanted to do was to sort of play the
money. You know, I thought we should pit the titans against one another;
[i'm sorry, but we HAVE to send this man a thesaurus...]
you know, that would be the Spencers and the Cassidines, first and
foremost;
[REALLY? you're kidding? he likes them? 'cause i wasn't really
sure... :)]
Jax and Jason,
[now see...THAT, to me, would make for a MUCH more interesting couple
than j&b part 2! :)]
Bobbi and Carly....I also wanted to re-set the romances, and kind of up
the stakes a little.
CR: Boy, you sure have!
BG: (not hearing) Excuse me?
CR: You sure have!
BG: The main thing we wanted to do was we wanted to kind of return some
of the core characters to the foreground, and in particular that meant
the Quartermaines, for me.
[YEAH!!!!!!!!]
CR: Well -
BG: And the last thing we wanted to do was to make some things happen,
you know, and drive some story, and make alotta incidents and make it so
you couldn't like not watch the show.
CR: ...I'm so hot on GH right now! Here's one of the things I want to
talk about: Sonny's gone.
BG: (laughing) But not forgotten!
CR: Oh, my lord, you should see my e-mail! WHAT does that mean for Jax
and Brenda?
BG: The big obstacle for Jax and Brenda right now is, Is Brenda Over
Sonny?
[you mean it's not ASHLEY?!? you're KIDDING... just out of curiosity,
WHY is that woman here??? she is ENTIRELY unnecessary, if you ask
me...]
And Jax and Brenda both know until she is there is no future for them,
and Jax is NOT going to lose out again to Sonny Corinthos!
CR: Now let's talk about comebacks. Is there any official word on
Laura's return?
BG: I've talked to Genie on several occassions, and she's very happy
with the family and being with the kids. I think she's very anxious to
get back, the question is when. And I said to Genie - and you know if
she's got you guys tuned in up there - Anytime, Anywhere, Anyhow!!
CR: Allright. What about rumours that Maurice Bernard may come back for
a Brief Stint?
BG: Boy, I tell you what, Cindi, if he doesn't, they're gonna have to
check ME in to the Brenda Barrett psych ward at GH!
CR: (laughing) I absolutely agree! you know what I say, tho, Bob, as
much as I love Maurice Bernard, I think the role of Sonny is so pivotal
that I would like to see you recast it if he won't come back.
[<gasp> <choke> <sputter> i'm sorry...WHAT?!? this woman is on crack.]
BG: Aw, Cindi, perish the thought! NEVER! I couldn't do it! Maurice
Bernard? Some other Sonny Corinthos? Not happenin'!
[<sigh> THANK you, bob. best news i've heard in ages...]
CR: Okay! Now....the Liz rape storyline is very dramatic. I've gotten a
huge response from my viewers. Any clues on where it's headed? Now, let
me tell you what I've gotten in my e-mail: First of all, BTW Bob,
when I said you were gonna be on, I got more e-mails about you, being on
the show, and questions they wanted to ask you, than I've ever gotten on
any star.
BG: Oh-h-h, god, tell 'em I love 'em and thank them from the bottom of
my heart.
CR: Well, they love your writing too! Now, what about Tony? A lot of
folks are e-mailing me saying ''Cindi, it's gotta be Tony''.
BG: (slight, slight pause) Yeah?
[oh please...let's not give the man any ideas here.]
CR: Seriously.
BG: Well you know what, Cindi? I'll tell you this much: The 'whodunnit'
part of this story is probably the least important part.
[translation: the rapist is the tin man's evil twin brother.]
Liz's rape is gonna have incredible implications for a whole bunch of
our characters that you don't even realize right now. For instance, out
of this one story, a family is going to implode,
[HAS to be the spencers, especially if they really ARE going to bring up
the luke/laura rape thing. lucky's gonna FLIP.]
a romance is gonna blossom,
[oh PLEASE don't let this be robin/nik. and y'know, i don't think it
will be. i think guza is pretty committed to the whole robin/jason
story still. MY hope would be lucky/lizzie--even though for years i
wanted lucky/emily. my ideal situation here? lucky realizes he's been
drooling after the wrong webber...as does nikolas...lucky pairs up with
lizzie, nik with emily, and sarah gets shipped to bosnia. hey...a girl
can dream, can't she? :)]
and what is already an on-going battle is gonna escalate into a
full-blown warfare.
[spencer-cassadine. we all know guza has a soft spot for that one.]
It's a much bigger story than just two or three characters!
CR: Oh, Bob, you know I love scoop like that! I just love it! Ooh, then
I won't go there! Let's just move on because that's some good stuff
right there and I was going in the wrong direction. Oh, I'm so glad you
told me. Now, we all know that AJ is the father of Carly's baby.
How...Do we have any idea how that's going to play out, at all?
BG: Yeah....the first interesting thing, there's some big stuff coming
up, in fact in about 2 weeks. But Jason, as you can see, is getting
very, VERY involved with this baby, and you're gonna see the lenghts to
which he will go to protect Michael, you'll see exactly what he will do
and exactly what it's gonna mean for the Robin/Carly/Jason triangle.
[ummm, excuse me....the robin/carly/jason triangle? WHAT triangle???
jason doesn't love carly--carly doesn't love jason--by definition,
THERE'S NO TRIANGLE HERE. if anything, it's a robin/jason/MICHAEL
triangle. puh-LEEZE tell me that's not where we're headed with this?]
CR: Oh, interesting. Oh, and one last quick thing: Carly and Bobbi...I
understand they are eventually going to get together.
BG: Yeah! in the year 2012 we're projecting right now!
[based on the rate that this story has progressed...that's just about
right.]
CR: (laughs) I'm lovin' it! Bob, we're out of time and I know how busy
you are right now, and I really appreciate you taking a couple of
minutes with us. I'm gonna come down in March, and stop by and say
'hi'.
BG: Do it, Cindi, I look forward to it.

I think Nik is about 16 or 17 and Robin would be 20...But thats just a
guess, what really threw me was Mr. Murty's class...Nik is older than Lucky
who is older than Sarah, who is Lizzie's older sister. And putting them in
the same class, would mean they're in the same grade? Well the teen
storyline wasnt very good then.

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 23-27, 1998
courtesy of Soap Opera Weekly, Soap Opera Update, Soap Opera News,
Soap Opera Magazine and other sources!
Plus Articles:
"Liz's rape ordeal continues"
and
"Stefan will not answer Nikolas' questions about Laura"
and
"Jax meets with one of Jason's "boys," while Brenda throws Jax
with a very important question"
Important Stuff:
MONDAY: Carly learns that Robin knows the truth and may not keep her
secret.
TUESDAY: Mac learns why Tess has been holding him hostage - she plans to
frame him for the murder.
WEDNESDAY: Alan may not be able to hide his pill addiction, as two more
people find out.
THURSDAY: Jason undergoes a transformation.
FRIDAY: Brenda asks Jax a very important question. But her forwardness
may just backfire ... and then where will she be?
More Stuff:
Katherine's gift to Stefan and his refusal to answer Nikolas' questions
have Nikolas worried about Stefan's feelings for Laura.
Liz tells Audrey the truth about her attack; Bobbie steps in when Audrey
isn't there for Liz.
Jax rushes to Brenda's side when he hears that she's gotten a new
modeling job.
Robin and Carly discuss Michael's paternity.
Tess pays Mac and Felicia a surprise visit, giving Mac a clue about her
plan.
Stefan warns Nikolas to be wary of Robin.
Jax continues his vendetta against Jason; Ned and Justus offer Jax a few
helful hints.
A confident A.J. stands up to Emily and Ned on his first day back on the
job at ELQ.
Carly takes Jason shopping.
Brenda makes a request of Jax.
Tess' cronies have their eyes on Jax.
The FOLLOWING week:
Tony cooks up a new plan
Mac and Felicia's "relationship" takes a new turn.
Nikolas has a breakthrough.
Startling revelations rock two families.
Liz's rape ordeal continues
Liz isn't the only one who has to face the consequences of her rape.
This week on GH she tells her sister and her grandmother, both of whom
have strong reactions to the news.
Sarah feels guilty because the original plan had been for Liz to be
at the Valentine's Dance. "Sarah and Lucky discuss it," Rebecca Herbst
(Liz) says, "and he tells her, "I was supposed to go to the dance with
Liz, but I went with you instead.' So now Sarah feels responsible as
well, because if it hadn't been for the two of them, Liz would have been
at the dance, safe and sound."
Later, Liz is forced to tell Audrey what happened. Initially, Liz
only tells her she lost her bracelet, but when Lucky finds it and brings
it to her, she admits the truth. Audrey has an odd reaction: When Bobbie
finally convinces Liz to have an HIV test, Audrey refuses to accompany
her to the hospital.
"I'm excited that this has happened to Liz,' Herbst says. "As a
character, she didn't have the much background. Her parents are in
Bosnia, they're doctors, they left her at 14. That's all we knew. And
now, even the littlest scenes I do, there is this huge dimension to Liz
that I can pull from. We are all being let in on this personal crisis,
and now, from here on out, everybody's going to always think back to
that."
Stefan will not answer Nikolas' questions about Laura
Katherine's gift of a stone bench brings Stefan's fond memories of
Laura to the surfae once again. Nikolas tries to get the truth about
Laura out of his uncle, but Stefan firmly refuses to answer the young
man's prying questions.
When Nikolas finds the portrait of Laura hidden in the attic, he
begins to believe that what Helena is saying about Stefan's obsession
with Laura may be true. But when challenged, Stefan defends his
actions and declares that Helena's claim is ludicrous.
Jax meets with one of Jason's "boys," while Brenda throws Jax with a
very important question
Fed up with the dock-project delays and the loss of hundreds of
millions of dollars the delays could cause, Jax takes action this week.
"He is beginning to show the Jacks family colors," explains Ingo
Rademacher (Jax).
The fly in the ointment is Jason, who runs the docks. Jax confronts
Ned as to why he has not met with Jason about this project. He accuses
Ned of breaking the cardinal rule in business - allowing personal
feelings to interfere with an objective. Ned turns it around on Jax and
suggests that Jax has confused the issue by projecting his hatred for
Sonny onto Jason.
The bottom line for Jax is that he wants the situation rectified, and
he tells Ned he will do whatever it takes to resolve it. Interpreting
Jax's statement as a threat on Jason's life, Ned goes to Jason to warn
him. But Jax has his own plan, and meets with Sam, one of Jason's
"boys."
"He does this really tricky thing," Rademacher says. "What it amounts
to is a situation where Jax goes to one person and says, 'He said this
about you,' then goes to that person and says, 'he said that about you.'
"
Sam confides to Jax that Jason will soon be out of the way, at which
point Jax tells Jason there is a traitor in his midst. It's a win-win
situation for Jax. "If Sam kills Jason, great. If Jason kills the other
guy, then Jason thinks he owes one to Jax for warning him," Rademacher
explains. "Either way, there will hopefully be movement on the project."
Look for Sam to confront Jason by week's end. Meanwhile, Brenda tells
Robin she has a new job and a surprise for Jax. Learning of Brenda's
photo shoot, a fearful Jax races to her side. When he reaches
Brenda, she is surprisingly calm but throws Jax by what she asks him.

Being HIV+ didn't stop Robin from sleeping with Jason. Repeatedly, in fact.
And even if he were HIV+, too, it wouldn't actually change anything. Two
people who are both HIV+ can reinfect each other, making themselves worse,
and speeding the progression of the disease.

really? i don't think so...unless we're using different definitions of
"sleeping with." i agree they had some sort of sexual relationship, but
i'm almost POSITIVE they never "slept together" in terms of having
actual sex (which is what i was talking about, in terms of the statutory
rape discussion). i know jason wanted to, desperately, but robin
wouldn't take the risk. i seem to remember jason even talked to alan,
and read all sorts of medical journals, to try and convince robin it
would be safe, but she wouldn't think of it. am i wrong about that?

well, that's true i guess. all i really meant was that i don't see
robin having sex with anyone, ever again, unless that person is also hiv
positive. otherwise i don't think she'd even CONSIDER it. unless alan
cures her one of these days, of course! :)

i think we've had this conversation before, and never really came to a
satisfactory answer, because tptb have screwed up their timeline so
much. all i can say for sure is...taking lucky, nik, em, sarah, lizzie,
and robin...is that robin is the oldest, and is in her (i think?)
sophomore year of college, which i'd say makes her around 19-ish. nik i
believe is second-oldest, since he HAS to be older than lucky, since
laura didn't have lucky before the cassadines kidnapped her and took her
to the island. i don't know what year that was, though, and i don't
suppose it matters because i don't think it's accurate. he drives, and
has been doing college-level work with his tutors even though he's still
technically high school age, so i'd guess him to be 17. lucky HAS to be
at least a year younger--making him either 15 or 16. i think em is
around his age, whatever that is (they never DID specify which birthday
she just celebrated). and i think, back at the beginning, that they
said lizzie is 15 and sarah is 16. and yes, having all these siblings
in the same english class was more than a tad ridiculous!

I could have sworn they did. Hmm... that's a good question, then. I was
absolutely positive they had.

Except that she actually took a year off school to stay home when Stone was
dying. So she should ACTUALLY be 20/21-ish. Though, they had Sonny say
she was 19 last summer (which I only remember because it irritated me at
the time).

Right. My problem with all of that is that there is NO WAY IN THE WORLD I
buy that Tyler Christopher is playing a 17 year old. And honestly, I think
that's why I wouldn't mind a Nik/Robin pairing (obviously it has to be
handled well), because it is distracting, annoying and totally impossible
to me to try and swallow Nik as only being 17.
>lucky HAS to be
>at least a year younger--making him either 15 or 16. i think em is

Not on her birthday, they didn't (they were too busy focusing on abduction
and other sundry felonies). But last fall Em had a line about it only
being "a few months" before she could drive, so I think it's a pretty safe
bet that she's probably 16.
>and i think, back at the beginning, that they

>in the same english class was more than a tad ridiculous!
One of those interviews (I think) had Becky Herbst refering to Lizzie as
14. Even if that WAS the original plan, I think they probably refigured
her age -- even before this storyline. Aside from the fact that I don't
buy Becky playing a 14 year old anymore than I buy Tyler playing a 17 year
old, I think between this storyline and the fact that they seem to be
trying to progress these kids into "bigger" circumstances (in general), I
doubt they'd leave her so young. I don't think a lot of people could
stomach all that teen angst for that long.
So I'd probably say that Lizzie is probably 15 or 16 and Sarah would be
about a year older. I think Em, Lucky and Lizzie are probably all about
the same age; Nik and Sarah are probably the same age; and Robin isn't even
really close.

>was absolutely positive they had.
well ok, now i'm curious. anybody else out there have a thought on this
one? i distinctly remember, at first, at least, robin being STRONGLY
against the two of them having sex. too dangerous, she didn't want to
be responsible for getting him infected, etc. jason, who didn't care if
he lived or died really, didn't see any such problem, and went to great
lengths (even going as far as to confer with alan, who he REALLY
despised) about whether it would be safe. i especially remember this
being an issue around the time robin went on the protocol, because jason
figured if it would lower the virus to undetectable levels, then it must
be safe for the two of them to sleep together. unfortunately, the
medical journals he consulted, and alan, and robin, all told him no.
before that point, they DEFINITELY hadn't--because i remember when carly
realized that jason and robin were an item, at the nurses ball where she
collapsed during her speech and jason carried her off-stage, carly had a
FIT, because she and jason had been sleeping together, and he had never
told her he was involved with someone who was hiv positive. so carly
yelled at him, and he replied that it wasn't an issue because he and
robin weren't having sex.
then, after jason had really been on a crusade for a while, i seem to
remember robin breaking down and pointing out that this wasn't any
easier for her than it was for him, but that she had buried all the
people she intended to bury in her life, and she absolutely wouldn't be
responsible for infecting jason, no matter how much she wanted to be
physical with him too. and i THINK, at that point, they agreed that
they could be physical without being reckless, which is when they
started having a sexual relationship of SOME type--but, i'm almost
positive i remember reading (at that time) an interview with somebody
connected with the show who said this storyline was really going to
explore ways of being in a meaningful relationship without having sexual
intercourse. of course, they never got specific about that on-screen, i
don't think, so...i guess i don't really know. but i REALLY thought
they hadn't. am i crazy?

Subject: GH/PC: more PC stuff from yesterday...
Date: 20 Feb 1998 11:56:18 PST
two more things i forgot to comment about earlier...
after some definite progress in this regard (largely due to eve), i'm
REALLY beginning to HATE HATE HATE chris again!!!!! how DARE he get
such glee out of interfering in what is CLEARLY a life-or-death
situation??? that preview, of him putting together that note? what an
evil, EVIL thing to do! and for what POSSIBLE reason??? y'know, i
think this is very similar to what taiyin said earlier about rex--and i
think this is a big problem with the villains on pc in general, vs. the
historically better villains on gh. the motivations for the pc villains
are SO weak as to be laughable, except that the things they're doing
because of these motivations are so heinous, that you just CAN'T laugh.
instead, you wind up just really HATING them, whereas on gh i think the
villains tended to be more of the "love to hate them" type. ok, so
chris is going to poke his nose into a situation that could easily get
matt killed, TO WIN THE QUARTERMAINE RESIDENCY??? huh? that's even
WORSE than "doing all this for some dead woman's money."
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
and on another note entirely...way to butcher one of my favorite short
stories, scotty! i know, i know, it's only a half hour show, and the
whole plot to "the lady or the tiger" would have taken QUITE a while to
explain...but scott's description was almost a sacrilege! i know, i'm
so picky...but what can i say, i was an english major! :)
julie
p.s. ANOTHER thing that pissed me off, even though it's COMPLETELY
unrelated to gh/pc...when i logged on to hotmail to write this message,
they had a BIG banner across the top telling me who wins tonight's
figure skating...news that i had successfully managed to avoid all day,
because i REALLY didn't want to know ahead of time (this being the one
and only winter olympics event i have ANY interest in seeing). don't
worry, i won't ruin it for all of you...BUT I'M REALLY PISSED ABOUT THIS
NOW!!!!!

Hhmmm... strange. Usually soaps don't do vague. It could be that I just
read more into it than was there at the time.
Now I am really curious, though.

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 23-27, 1998
courtesy of Soap Opera Weekly, Soap Opera Update, Soap Opera News,

Plus Articles:
"Liz's rape ordeal continues"
and
"Stefan will not answer Nikolas' questions about Laura"
and
"Jax meets with one of Jason's "boys," while Brenda throws Jax with a very
important question"
Important Stuff:
MONDAY: Carly learns that Robin knows the truth and may not keep her secret.
TUESDAY: Mac learns why Tess has been holding him hostage - she plans to
frame him for the murder.
WEDNESDAY: Alan may not be able to hide his pill addiction, as two more
people find out.
THURSDAY: Jason undergoes a transformation.
FRIDAY: Brenda asks Jax a very important question. But her forwardness may
just backfire ... and then where will she be?
More Stuff:
Katherine's gift to Stefan and his refusal to answer Nikolas' questions have
Nikolas worried about Stefan's feelings for Laura.
Liz tells Audrey the truth about her attack; Bobbie steps in when Audrey
isn't there for Liz.
Jax rushes to Brenda's side when he hears that she's gotten a new modeling
job.
Robin and Carly discuss Michael's paternity.
Tess pays Mac and Felicia a surprise visit, giving Mac a clue about her
plan.
Stefan warns Nikolas to be wary of Robin.
Jax continues his vendetta against Jason; Ned and Justus offer Jax a few
helful hints.
A confident A.J. stands up to Emily and Ned on his first day back on the job
at ELQ.
Carly takes Jason shopping.
Brenda makes a request of Jax.
Tess' cronies have their eyes on Jax.
The FOLLOWING week:
Tony cooks up a new plan
Mac and Felicia's "relationship" takes a new turn.
Nikolas has a breakthrough.
Startling revelations rock two families.
Liz's rape ordeal continues
Liz isn't the only one who has to face the consequences of her rape. This
week on GH she tells her sister and her grandmother, both of whom have
strong reactions to the news.
Sarah feels guilty because the original plan had been for Liz to be at
the Valentine's Dance. "Sarah and Lucky discuss it," Rebecca Herbst (Liz)
says, "and he tells her, "I was supposed to go to the dance with Liz, but I
went with you instead.' So now Sarah feels responsible as well, because if
it hadn't been for the two of them, Liz would have been at the dance, safe
and sound."
Later, Liz is forced to tell Audrey what happened. Initially, Liz only
tells her she lost her bracelet, but when Lucky finds it and brings it to
her, she admits the truth. Audrey has an odd reaction: When Bobbie finally
convinces Liz to have an HIV test, Audrey refuses to accompany her to the
hospital.
"I'm excited that this has happened to Liz,' Herbst says. "As a
character, she didn't have the much background. Her parents are in Bosnia,
they're doctors, they left her at 14. That's all we knew. And now, even the
littlest scenes I do, there is this huge dimension to Liz that I can pull
from. We are all being let in on this personal crisis, and now, from here on
out, everybody's going to always think back to that."
Stefan will not answer Nikolas' questions about Laura
Katherine's gift of a stone bench brings Stefan's fond memories of Laura
to the surfae once again. Nikolas tries to get the truth about Laura out of
his uncle, but Stefan firmly refuses to answer the young man's prying
questions.
When Nikolas finds the portrait of Laura hidden in the attic, he begins
to believe that what Helena is saying about Stefan's obsession with Laura
may be true. But when challenged, Stefan defends his actions and declares
that Helena's claim is ludicrous.
Jax meets with one of Jason's "boys," while Brenda throws Jax with a very
important question
Fed up with the dock-project delays and the loss of hundreds of millions
of dollars the delays could cause, Jax takes action this week. "He is
beginning to show the Jacks family colors," explains Ingo Rademacher (Jax).
The fly in the ointment is Jason, who runs the docks. Jax confronts Ned
as to why he has not met with Jason about this project. He accuses Ned of
breaking the cardinal rule in business - allowing personal feelings to
interfere with an objective. Ned turns it around on Jax and suggests that
Jax has confused the issue by projecting his hatred for Sonny onto Jason.
The bottom line for Jax is that he wants the situation rectified, and he
tells Ned he will do whatever it takes to resolve it. Interpreting Jax's
statement as a threat on Jason's life, Ned goes to Jason to warn him. But
Jax has his own plan, and meets with Sam, one of Jason's "boys."
"He does this really tricky thing," Rademacher says. "What it amounts to
is a situation where Jax goes to one person and says, 'He said this about
you,' then goes to that person and says, 'he said that about you.' "
Sam confides to Jax that Jason will soon be out of the way, at which
point Jax tells Jason there is a traitor in his midst. It's a win-win
situation for Jax. "If Sam kills Jason, great. If Jason kills the other guy,
then Jason thinks he owes one to Jax for warning him," Rademacher explains.
"Either way, there will hopefully be movement on the project."
Look for Sam to confront Jason by week's end. Meanwhile, Brenda tells
Robin she has a new job and a surprise for Jax. Learning of Brenda's photo
shoot, a fearful Jax races to her side. When he reaches Brenda, she is
surprisingly calm but throws Jax by what she asks him.

Oh God. You are all killing me. The last time I saw Port Charles was three
weeks ago. My VCR is broken. If I am at home and I press record then it will
sometimes work. However, it won't work at all if I set the timer. I am not
home during the days, so I can only see the show when I have a day off of
school. This has been my predicament for several months now. It is quite
funny actually, because I have a Lucy and Kevin website, but I can't even
watch the show. I have been reading all your posts about Kevin and Lucy, and
I have seen the promos for this upcoming week. I tell you I am dying...Is it
better for me to read all of your posts and go on-line and find out about
the shows I've missed, torturing myself,or is it better to not think about

I could have sworn they did. Hmm... that's a good question, then. I was
absolutely positive they had.
>>
I'm totally sure they did not actually sleep together. They did things an
alternate way. I remember a lot of talk online about how mesy it must have
been.
Robin refused insisting on not putting Jason at risk. I think that is the
stand they will make with her from now on. They have written themselves into
a corner with this, they don't want to let her sleep with anyone, no matter
what precautions are taken. They don't want any young viewer to put
themselves at risk because "Robin and Jason did and he's fine." It's the same
reason they had her become HIV positive in the first place.
So like someone said, unless she meets else who is HIV positive that is how it
will be. Even then, I think they worry about different strains of HIV, so it
still might be a problem.
An interesting situationhas arisen though, since Robin is on the latest drug
cocktail and the virus is undetectable in her blood right now. I wonder how
risky safe sex would be for her partner at this point? I doubt we will ever
find out.....

<sigh> Frankly, I think that's more irresponsible than them having her and
Jason sleep together and *not* have him end up HIV+.
>They don't want any young viewer to put

Well, I can understand that. But the fact remains that there ARE
reasonable precautions to take. No, nothing is 100%. But condoms,
combined with the fact that it is actually more difficult for a woman to
infect a man, make it highly unrealistic that they just won't ever sleep
together.
They really are trying to turn her into a saint, I guess. A sexless,
saintly, unich. So much for showing that she can lead a "healthy, normal
life."
>It's the same
>reason they had her become HIV positive in the first place.
Yeah, but she and Stone didn't use protection at least once (though, after
the fact, it was implied that they didn't use protection repeatedly).

thanks, anne--that, in a nutshell, is EXACTLY why i thought they HADN'T
slept together, but apparently my brain wasn't working well enough for
me to be able to articulate that at the time! :)

well...i see your point. but at the same time, i think if they WERE to
allow robin to have a sex life it would have to be handled very, VERY
carefully. because, especially due to the age of the characters
involved, there would really be a huge risk of a large segment of the
viewing population being too young to necessarily listen to and
understand the reasoning behind why and HOW it's okay to have sex with
someone who's hiv positive. i think tptb are afraid, and rightfully so,
i think, that they "why" and "how" would get lost, and all that people
would walk away with is "it's okay," and i'm sure they don't want that
on their conscience.
not that i don't think they could do it, and do a responsible job with
it--because i thought the way they handled the robin/stone story was
just wonderful. but in a lot of ways that one was much easier to
handle. that was a cautionary tale--do this and something bad could
happen to you--and this would be almost the reverse.
>Yeah, but she and Stone didn't use protection at least once (though,
>after the fact, it was implied that they didn't use protection
>repeatedly).
i thought they portrayed it this way: stone got tested and was negative,
robin went on the pill, and they used condoms until the pill made it
"safe" for them not to anymore. then, it turned out that negative test,
like robin's first tests, wasn't right because the virus hadn't shown up
in stone's blood stream yet. the message being, what they THOUGHT was
responsible behavior (getting tested and waiting to have unprotected sex
until the test came back negative and they had pregnancy prevention
taken care of) was the right thought but not enough. which, i think, is
related to what i said above--they're trying SO hard to not take any
chances about the wrong message getting out to young viewers, that
they're willing to err on the side of being over-cautious rather than
take a chance that their message would be misinterpreted.
on an unrelated note, sort of...i WISH you could come sit in my
apartment and watch "er" with my roommate and myself one thursday night,
taiyin! i have SUCH fights with him over jeannie boulet (who, if you
don't watch, is a physician's asst. who is hiv positive, and didn't tell
anyone at work--initially, at least--because she didn't want to lose her
job). rob (my roommate) TEARS this woman apart, calling her all sorts
of names that i can't print here, and saying she's a horrible person,
basically, for wanting to continue to live her life. we had a
particularly heated discussion after the episode where she stuck her
hand (gloved, of course) into a patient's very large open wound to save
his life, when no one else was around and if she hadn't done it the
patient would have died. (she had made a deal with her supervisor that
she wouldn't do anything that risky) rob said she shouldn't have done
it--i said "would it be better to KNOW the patient would die, rather
than take the slim chance that you MIGHT make him hiv positive by saving
his life?" he said, "well, if she had QUIT like she SHOULD have, she
wouldn't have been IN that situation!" infuriating, let me tell you!
this is the same boy who, as a golfer, was vehemently opposed to that
disabled golfer being allowed to use a cart, because it would give him
an "unfair advantage," but who also wouldn't accept my argument of,
"well then, let EVERYONE use a cart if they want to" because that would
"change the game. what if a batter in baseball couldn't run and wanted
to use a cart to get around the bases?" i told him, "you know, rob,
it's a good thing you were born healthy, now isn't it..."
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! i'd like to see YOU take a crack at him! (i'm getting
sick of being the "designated liberal"!) :)

Of course. But I think it would be much more of a service (not to mention
more realistic) to explore the ways they can still have sex, but make it as
safe as possible. I think that, while abstainance is the safest, it is
really pretty unrealistic to expect that every person who is HIV+, and in a
serious relationship, is going to abstain from sex for the rest of their
lives... or until there is a cure.

And that is the other half of why I think they should do it. They did a
VERY responsible job of the entire situation from the very beginning. And
I think to let it go now *is* irresponsible.

Right.

Yes, but it's not an accurate comparison, really. They were living in
total ignorance last time. That isn't the case anymore at all.

I guess. I think my point is that doing it this way is like saying, "If we
don't allow teenagers access to condoms, then they just won't have sex." I
think it's a very naive approach that does more harm than good, IMO.

I guess. I think my point is that doing it this way is like saying, "If we
don't allow teenagers access to condoms, then they just won't have sex." I
think it's a very ignorant approach that does more harm than good.

Of course. But I think it would be much more of a service (not to mention
more realistic) to explore the ways they can still have sex, but make it as
safe as possible. I think that, while abstainance is the safest, it is
really pretty unrealistic to expect that every person who is HIV+, and in a
serious relationship, is going to abstain from sex for the rest of their
lives... or until there is a cure.

And that is the other half of why I think they should do it. They did a
VERY responsible job of the entire situation from the very beginning. And
I think to let it go now *is* irresponsible.

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
that's it--i have just GOT to move to a different time zone. this is
getting UTTERLY ridiculous. yes, i know, war and peace are very
important things--but why is it ALWAYS between 3 and 4:00??? and i
swear, the timing of these interruptions lately...i'm CONVINCED they're
planning this. here was yesterday's set-up...
we had luke and lucky in the park, lucky finds the bracelet, luke has
laura flashbacks, and begins to feel terribly guilty over his son's
blind adoration. we had robin and nik, with robin telling nik he had a
bad attitude, and asking what was stopping him from recovering. we had
kat and bat and the ludicrous baptismal gift thing (do people really DO
this?), and the most brilliant half-truth i've ever seen-- "in my life
i've only loved one woman...", fade to kiss. we had jason's little
pro-union speech (incidentally--HUH? did that come out of left field,
or am i just nuts?). and, the crowning moment, we had the scheming
grannies, bobbie and monica, with bobbie ultimately going up to carly,
making idle chit-chat, and then asking, "so, what are your
plans?"....immediately followed by the abc theme music, fade to peter
jennings. now, i ask you, did they PLAN it that way or WHAT???
and to make it even WORSE, after bill spoke, we cut back to peter
jennings who said the following (and i quote): "we're just about at the
end of the hour here, so we're going to fill up to the end of the hour."
EXCUSE me? did this man just ADMIT that they're just going to use idle
filler rather than go back to the conclusion of the show they had
already interrupted??? EVIL EVIL MAN!!!
so, once again, i am throwing myself on the mercy of the
west-of-the-mississippi contingent. did anybody get the second half of
gh yesterday and care to fill the east-coast-types in on what we missed?
thanks in advance!

Russian Orthodox do. Though, it's not called "Baptismal Day." It's called
"Name's Day" and it's second only to your own birthday.

Sort of, but not really. Jason is just strategizing to prevent the ELQ
plans on the docks. So far we haven't seen much of Jason's side of this,
only Jax's. Basically the only times it's come up with Jason are the time
when he was looking at the specs and blueplans and he said the idea stinks.
I still think the little bit at the boardmeeting when it first came up,
between Jason and Ned, was the best we've seen about this entire plot.

Nothing too terribly fascinating. I think the only three interesting
things are:
1.) More Luke angst. He looks like he's about to crack.
2.) Audrey overheard Lucky and Lizzie discuss that Lucky found the
bracelet in the park and she then confronted Lizzie, and she broke down and
told her grandmother the truth. Audrey was supportive, but very "sweep it
under the carpet" about the whole thing -- including suggesting that they
don't tell Lizzie's parents.
3.) Lucky and Sarah talking. Sarah tells Lucky that she knows what
happened and Lucky blaming himself. When Sarah asks why, he tells her that
if he hadn't gone to the dance with Sarah, Lizzie would have been there
safe and sound. So they both felt guilty for a while before Lucky pointed
out that they weren't getting anywhere with this. And then Lucky commented
that he hopes the guy who did it is being eaten up from the inside out.
I liked 3 the best, because, even though it included Sarah, it was more of
Lucky's reaction to this, and he was crying again by the end of the scene.
Audrey's reaction was almost creepy, and Lizzie felt something not quite
right about the way her grandmother was responding, and it made me want to
give her a hug, because she looked really lost, like she had thought that
telling her grandmother would h*lp her, and then she did it and it didn't
work and she didn't have anywhere left to go.
Not all that great and the preview for today didn't look all that hot, either.
But that's probably because (I think) today is supposed to be Luke's first
day on PC. <happy dance>

can't wait. and if THIS doesn't tempt genie out of maternity leave, i
don't know WHAT will! seems to me a lot of people have been waiting
AGES for this particular story to play out--and i THINK i even read
something by her, once upon a time, that said she really wished this had
been addressed more instead of revised and swept under the carpet.

hmmmm. i read somewhere that audrey's reaction to this was supposed to
be very strange, and related to some past trauma of her own. does
anybody know if SHE has a rape in her past too? (god, there's an awful
lot of this going around lately, isn't there?)

i'm feeling SO bad for lucky in all of this--but sarah...even when she's
trying to be SUPPORTIVE she annoys me! i did, however, like the scene
at the beginning of yesterday between sarah and lizzie. when sarah said
she'd do anything lizzie needed her to do, and lizzie asked her if she
could turn back time...ouch. that was just PAINFUL, but beautifully
done.
>Not all that great and the preview for today didn't look all that
>hot, either.
well good...at least i know not to get stressed if the president
interrupts yet AGAIN today! :)
thanks for the update, taiyin!
did anything further happen with bobbie and carly? the little bit of
that conversation i saw was really interesting--sb and jz are doing an
INCREDIBLE job with this. the way carly started out in full defensive
mode, but then when bobbie made some comment about how happy and healthy
michael looked, you could just SEE carly softening as she said, "yeah,
he is, isn't he..." or something like that. the range of emotions, and
watching carly go back and forth between them all, is just amazing to
watch--monica's definitely right--she SO wants to have a relationship
with her mother, and yet she's still so angry about the past, and so
scared of being rejected again, and so disappointed in her own behavior
and subsequently sure that she DESERVES the rejection she fears...it's
enough to make your head spin. i really didn't think much of sb last
year, and kind of wondered why she got that emmy...but i've COMPLETELY
changed my mind on that score!
>But that's probably because (I think) today is supposed to be Luke's
>first day on PC. <happy dance>
i think you're right--i can't wait! wow--poor lucy yesterday, huh? at
the end, when she was talking to the "higher powers"? talk about
somebody you want to give a hug... i just can't BELIEVE rex, even as
freaked out as he was by the spiders, was STILL trying to play games
with them. GRRRRRRRRRRR.
and matt and ellen...<sigh> clearly they're not going to proceed too
far with this plot line (unless someone else has heard something i
haven't, about matt leaving the show), but i REALLY hope somebody reams
chris HARD over this one, once the truth comes out.
anyway...thanks again for the info!

yes-she was raped by her husband andI think tom was conceived that night.
I might be wrong on the conception thing-let me know if I am. At that time it wasn't considered rape, but it was clearly
unconsentual sex. this was in the 60's so it was swept under the
carpet like she is telling Liz to do.

I really HATE that I missed that scene. I love watching JJ's
reactions-he is doing a great job. I even enjoyed Sarah yesterday
when she was helping Liz.

Okay, did they show this yesterday? Because I'm on the East coast and the
President interrupted just when everything was getting really good. I was
so mad! So, did I miss a moment between Lucky and Liz - ie. did he give
her bracelet back yesterday, or will that happen today?

Yeah, that's what prompted Lizzie to tell Audrey -- her grandmother
overheard Lucky and LIzzie discussing the fact that Lucky had found the
bracelet, AFTER Lizzie had lied to her grandmother about it having a broken
clasp and being taken to the jewelry store to be fixed.

Oh great. Why does this always happen?? Peter Jennings *never* breaks in
on AMC or OLTL. It's always GH. It seems like all world events happen
between 3 - 4 pm EST.
I was looking forward to seeing Lucky give Liz the bracelet back...this
stinks...
And I almost screamed when Peter Jennings said, "Well, folks, it's
3:50...so we're just going to fill out till the end of the hour..."
I said, "NO!!! I want to see the very end, at least!! Or even the
previews! Throw me a bone, here, people!" ;-)

So, did Audrey confront Liz, or will that happen today? (maybe I didn't
miss all the good stuff - cause we all know that if Audrey isn't
supportive, Liz will get upset and maybe go tell Lucky about it:)

While she does need some work, she's not as bad as Miranda was...or that
stupid Ashley...<shudder> But she does do that thing with her eyes...she
always look surprised... <g>
BTW, anything interesting happen between Robin and Nikolas in the 2nd half

No, it already happened. She wanted to know why LIzzie had lied about
taking the bracelet to the jewelers to be repaired. It was relaly only
because she got caught in that lie that she told Audrey at all. Under
normal circumstances she probably would have tap-danced her way out of it,
but she's just not up for that right now.
And it wasn't that Audrey isn't being supportive, but she's taking a very
different approach than Bobbie or Lucky, or even Luke, did.
I mean, when Lizzie was raped and she decided not to tell anyone and not to
press charges, I could understand that. In her shoes I would probably do
that same thing -- there is really no chance of catching the guy because
she doesn't know anything about him and that is a REALLY hard thing to
share with ANYbody. So the fewer people who know, the better. I can
understand that.
But eventually Lizzie began to realize that whether or not she goes to the
police, SHE needs h*lp to deal with this. Lucky is doing what he can (and
frothing at the mouth waiting for the chance to find the guy and rip his
spleen out with his teeth), so is Bobbie and now so is Sarah.
It's just that Audrey's idea of a solution was not as proactive as everyone
else's. I think that's why it felt off-kilter. She was very upset by it,
but her "solutions" to it seemed like she was trying to get lizzie over a
flu: "Just rest and have some tea, stay warm and no need to make a big
deal out of it, because you'll just put it behind you and get on with your
life."
It just wasn't what Lizie was expecting. And it wasn't like, so far,
Audrey has been ever remotely UNsupportive, so I don't think it's really
anything that Lizzie can put her finger on, but something DID bother her
about Audrey's reaction.
>While she does need some work, she's not as bad as Miranda was...or that

That's why I call her "Ms. Deer in the Headlights."
>BTW, anything interesting happen between Robin and Nikolas in the 2nd half
>of the episode?
No more than what Julie wrote earlier -- Robin just pointing out to Nik
that his attitude was his biggest obsitcal, and asked him how badly he
really wanted to get better. She did comment that, essetially, he's
feeling sorry for himself. There really isn't anything WRONG with him, and
certainly nothing that can't be fixed. She made a nameless comparison to
Jason -- about how "some people" loose years of their lives, and memories
and skills that they can never get back and they go on with their lives.
It's just a matter of CHOICE.
Basically she told him to make up his mind. She was very nice about it,
though.

Well, I was waiting for someone to mention it (I've been a little
preoccupied with K&L), but after TWO excellent Matt and Ellen days, I
finally had to say something (since Cagey must be REALLY busy, otherwise
I'm sure we would have heard her melting into a giddy puddle of goo).
Wow. Go Ellen! I am SO glad that she finally took a chance.
They need to give Debi more to do -- damn, that woman can ACT.
And poor Matt. What is with those agents hovering like a couple of
vultures waiting for dinner? Sheesh. Obviously the concept of "privacy"
is not a top priority for these guys.
And Matt's observation about trading his life for the things that make his
life worth while was right on the money. I am glad that Ellen convinced
him to go, anyway, though.
Combined with K&L it did make for a very, very sad ep, though.
Though when Ramsey gets his butt kicked it'll make up for it.

Scoops for the week of
February 23-27, 1998

not thrilled with Robin's visits to Nikolas and plants the seed of
warning in Nikolas' mind about trusting a Scorpio.
Robin will finally confront carly about AJ being Michael's real father--
and she threatens that Carly had better tell AJ the truth before Jason

Tess makes a surprise visit to *James* at The Outback, and Mac finally
puts some of her hints together as he figures out her dastardly plan.
This week, the Spotlight
is on Jasper Jacks!
Jax is more than a little impatient about the continuing delays with the
Dock Project-- after all Big Bucks are at stake here!
Jax shows his more ruthless business man side this week, which we
certainly haven't seen in awhile. Jax begins by having it out with Nedly
about why Ned isn't leaning on Jason to get the project going....he gets
Ned's goat by telling him that he isn't behaving professionally. He's
letting familial feelings prevent him from
reaching his goal. Ned, however, turns the tables on Jax, by telling Jax
that he thinks that Jax is the one whose feelings are foremost here--
Jax is still jealous of Sonny and has carried those feelings of jealousy
and hatred to Jason!
Jax has had it up to his eyeballs by now, and tells Ned that he isn't
going to stand around waiting for Ned to light a fire under Jason, and
that he will do whatever he deems necessary to resolve the delays. Ned
takes this as a Death Threat for Jason and decides to warn his cousin.
Jax, however, has something else up his sleeve and pays a visit to one
of Jason's underlings-- a man named Sam.
Jax talks out of both sides of his face by telling Sam that Jason is out
to get him...and Sam confides in Jax that it is Jason who will soon be
out of the picture! Jax, of course, runs to Jason to warn him of a
Benedict Arnold on his team.
Jax is feeling very smug about this as he realizes he can't lose. If Sam
has Jason offed and out of the way that's great for the project. If
Jason, however, disposes of Sam, then Jason will be under the impression
that he has a debt to Jax for the warning......and will stop stalling on
the Dock Project.
Sam and Jason will have it out by Friday.
Brenda excitely informs Robin that she has a new job and a big surprise
for Jax. Brenda is going to work for the local auto dealer, and in fact
has a photo shoot this very day. While Brenda is at the shoot, Jax
arrives at her house-- she has set things up for him to be lured there
and he is both amused and curious. Jax and Robin
discuss things and while they are chatting, a tabloid reporter calls Jax
and asks about Brenda's reentry into the modeling world. Jax panics, and
ever the Knight in Shining Armour, he hurries to be with Brenda in case
she needs help at the shoot. Brenda, however, is pretty calm, cool and
collected...inside though, she is worried, remembering her breakdown,
but she gets through it just fine. Brenda changes after the shoot into a
beautiful ball gown and Jax's eyeballs just about pop out when he sees
her. Brenda brings Jax back to her house, which is prepared with soft
lighting and romantic decorations. Brenda
opens her heart and soul to Jax, and tells him that he is the Wind
Beneath her Wings. This is the old Brenda-- the woman who will do
whatever it takes to get what she wants.....and she hits Jax with a big
question/demand: "Either marry me today, or our relationship is over!"
The same wording Jax used when he asked her to marry him. Jax is taken
aback. How will he react??
Coming Soon:
Jax answers Brenda's proposal
Tony plans for a different future
Mac and Felicia's relationship takes a strange twist
Two of the town's most influential families are victims of shocking
revelations

Subject: GH/PC: Jax and the Q boys
Date: 25 Feb 1998 09:47:04 -0800
It seems that Tony's case of terminal stupidity is contagious. Jax needs
to be quarentined before it spreads even further.
So let me get this straight:
He plays "both ends against the middle" and starts creating dissention in
the ranks throughout Jason's organization, right?
FOR WHAT PURPOSE????
As I see it there are only a few possible outcomes.
1.) Jason's organization collapses into an internal war, in which case the
docks turn into a war zone and the renovation plans get haulted for safety
reasons.
2.) Jason quashes the situation and then is pissed and even less likely to
cooperate.
or
3.) Jason loses, someone ELSE comes into power, and then they have to
negotiate the dock situation with an entirely unknown element.
I think Mr. Blond baked his brains in the hot Australian Outback a little
too long.
And you know, this does remind me that I really DON'T like Jax and I never
have. I have a problem letting my opinion of the actor influence my opnion
of the character (and I do that with Nolan North/Chris Ramsey, too). And
at Take a Chance Ingo was such a sweetie, that Jax stopped annoying me
(except with Brenda), but after yesterday I realized that it wasn't Jax I
was liking, it was Ingo.
So, that's my declaration of the day: Scott seems to be trying to give up
his matle of "Bonehead Kingpin" and Jas seems to have taken it over.
HOWEVER, despite Jax annoying me to death, Ned/Jason, Justus/Jason and
Justus/Jax rocked. And I adored Ned's warnings, especially the bit about
Jason being a father now and needing to stick around for Michael's sake.
I also thought it was very interesting the way that Jason came right out
and asked Ned if he thought Jax would put a hit out on him, and even then
Ned still couldn't use any truly specific terminology (aside from the fact
that he doesn't REALLY know what Jax is going to do). He stuck with
euphemisms like "by any means necessary" and "ruthless," etc.
I thought it played very nicely into Justus' conversation with Jason, about
living in a world where you know your enemies and people not smiling while
they stick their knife in your back. Someone may be bad, but they aren't a
hypocrite about it.

Well, frankly, though I don't object to Nik and Robin, I am objecting SO
MUCH to Robin these days, I'd actually rather she wasn't too involved with
Jason.
>Robin has another meeting with Carly and is hurt by Jason's treatment of

I really dislike this. They are making Robin so sanctimoious that she is
forgetting some very basic truths -- not the least of which is that this is
not her secret to tell. And if she starts making noise about blowing the
secret out of the water, then she DESERVES what she gets.
>Jason and Justus team up to keep Jax at bay.

It was inevitable. I knew eventually I would regret my self-restraint last
month. Damn. I should have made obnoxious gagging noises or wailed in
agony when Guza was discussing putting Jax and Brenda back together.

Spencer and Cassadine or Spencer and Quartermaine? Nevermind, this is Guza
we're talking about. It's got to be Spencer and Cassadine.

too true. but, to give credit where credit is due, i think he's been
doing an AMAZING job with the q's--ALL the q's--lately. ESPECIALLY
yesterday! emily is managing to tread the fine line between righteous
indignation and teenage brat quite nicely ("those of you in the
kidnappers' wing"? LOL!) aj is finally giving as good as he gets when
it comes to ned. and lila, oh my god LILA--when she followed edward's
lead in bribing that waiter, and warned carly about edward, i was just
LAUGHING so hard! i haven't gotten this many laughs out of the q's in a
long, LONG time. thank you, guza--i'm LOVING this!!!

Audrey was raped years ago, i can't remember who by, but it was someone she was
involved with i think. my guess is she suppressed her rape so she thinks that
is the only way to handle it. also if lizzie discusses her rape Audrey may have
to relive her own.
about the rapist. i think they're going to name tony, but i don't think he did
it, so they'll absolve him. only because i don't think tptb want to destroy a
main character like tony and i don't think they want to rehabilitate another
rapist, a la luke. it will probably be someone insignificant and disposable.

I just got off the SOD chat with Michael Logan. For those of you that
miss him, here's the latest scoops and opinions on GH.
NANCY LEE GRAHN: Loagn confirmed that NLG had a baby girl (I think last
Tuesday night.) He did tell her name but I don't remember what it was.
[note--someone posted a reply saying she was named Katharine Grace--
don't know if it's true or not, but it'd kind of an interesting choice,
considering!]
He mentioned that the baby came two weeks early and Alexis' absence will
be explained by a trip to Jakarta.
LAURA'S RETURN: He says that Genie is not coming back anytime soon and
that in his opinion, the SOM article is a PR move on Genie's part. He
reiterated that she has a contract. He also said she returned to do a
bit for the show's 35 anniversary special. He said that the show is
moving on with this story without her.
THE RAPE: He's impressed with this story so far. He didn't want to say
much more because he's doing a TV Guide article with Tony Geary about
Lucky finding out about the rape. He says that the scenes between Luke
and Lucky so far have been great.
TONY JONES: He says that Tony did not commit Lizzie's rape but that he's
going to be doing some pretty wacko things in the near future. Logan
said Brad Maule thought his last chance at a great storyline
was BJ's death and when he didn't win the Emmy he was despondent.
Logan's thrilled with that Brad's got a great story.
THE BEST SHOW ON RIGHT NOW: In his opinion, GH is the best show on ''at
least this week.'' He says Guza's done a great job at turning the show
around. Logan says he thinks Robin and Nikolas are a supercouple in the
making. He says he even likes the Webber twits (because of their work in
the rape story.) He said Rebecca Herbst has been astounding. He said he
doesn't like the Mac/Mac story and he hates what is being done to the
Quartermaines.
EMMY NEWS: Logan predicted that Steve Burton and Sarah Brown would be
nominated for Emmys. He also noted that Jackie Zeman put herself up for
Best Actress this year.
And that's all I can remember.

Guza said that the "whodunnit" aspect of this whole storyline is the "least
important," and given the raw brutality of the attack I can't see them
sacrificing ANY regular/recurring/known character by having him be
responsible. It'll be someone anonymous.

Well, between Carly and Brenda nearly scratching each other's eyes out, and
Luke and Lucky, I don't think I could choose a favorite part.
Luke and Lucky would probably win in the end, though.
I am continually impressed by the way Jonathon Jackson has been handling
this. And the fabulous part of those scenes was, OMITTING Luke's dirty
little secret, EVERYTHING he told Lucky was dead-on. Lizzie needs to be
the one to take control of her life, and Lucky needs to respect her
choices, even if he disagrees with them.
The shot of Luke at the end, though, nearly in tears and border-line shock
was incredible...
And somebody smack me, but Sarah is slipping from about a 10 on the
"Irritate the Daylights Out of Me" scale to about an 8.5. I still thinks
he needs acting lessons, but the character is getting less annoying.
Though, Becky Herbst is doing such an incredible job that Jennifer Skye
couldn't compete -- no matter what they had her doing.
And NEVER in my life did I think that an almost catfight between Carly and
Brenda would find me rooting for *Carly* of all people. That was cool.
And the look on Jason's face through most of the little wardrobe excersion
was hysterical. Several times it looked like Steve was having trouble
keeping a straight face. <g>

It hasn't happened. There was a spoiler that said it was going to, but it
never did. We've been waiting and waiting, but nothing.

I have *never* disliked Robin as much as I did today. Oh
my. Apparently she's decided that Jason is not only not
old enough to make decisions about his own life, but if
he's not going to be with her, he can't have a life period.
Meow. And I *hated* the confrontation between Robin and
Carly today, because she's pushed Carly's buttons in such a
way that Carly will undoubtedly start plotting against her,
which is only going to cause fireworks if Jason finds out.
Sigh.

Well in that case he put the hospital at incredible risk of a suit,
although given the circumstances how else could he have reacted?

What a great actor Mike (Ron Hale) is.. I really like the scene today
between him and Jason. I would really like to see Brenda and Jaxs get
together again. How does everyone else feel about them. I hope the
writers don't make Robin out to be like Carly. What a great actress Lizzy
is. She sure is making her sitution seem like it really happened.
