first of all, that's kind of an odd discrepancy. did you get any sense
of which was more believable? it's possible that wendy (who i'm
assuming made this statement during a public statement, vs. your private
chat with guza?) was just being cautious, maybe, in terms of what gets
out until something is definite? please? ('cause they really can't do
ANYTHING about kat and bat, or nikolas, until they bring her
back...<sigh>)
secondly, YOU SPOKE PRIVATELY WITH GUZA AND *STILL* MANAGED TO RESTRAIN
YOURSELF?!? wow. i understand entirely your comment about restraint
seeming the polite way to go...but i think i would have HAD to have

oh, it's DEFINITELY vague. and i agree with taiyin--i think it's
deliberately so. way back when, back when sonny first came on the show,
they definitely had no qualms about portraying sonny and his "interests"
in a less-than-savory light. not only was he running the paradise
lounge and dating/employing the extremely underage karen, but he also
got her hooked on drugs at the time. then, when maurice/sonny became so
popular, i think they looked at the way they were portraying him and
said, "oops! we're having this extremely popular actor/character
involved in some truly repulsive stuff." they couldn't exactly get him
out of the mob stuff, nor did they want to, most likely, but they didn't
want him to be SO bad either, so they reformed his stance on drugs,
closed the paradise, and sort of left all the mob stuff as far in the
background as they could. so basically...who knows?

ok, so i haven't seen friday's ep yet, so i'm not sure EXACTLY what
instance you're referring to...but here's what i remember about the
pills thus far.
rex gave lucy some pills, laced with tiny amounts of poison, that were
supposed to slowly kill her off, under the guise of "stress reduction."
an unknown someone snuck into lucy's room and switched the bottle of
pills. (i'm not at all clear on whether this was one of rex's flunkies
putting the poisoned pills there, after lucy had the harmless ones
tested, or if it was somebody (who i have no clue) replacing the poison
ones with something else. somewhat irrelevant, since...) lucy doesn't
trust rex, and switched the pills (the new, replaced bottle) with
vitamin c pills, which she has been publicly taking to make rex believe
that she trusts him. (i think this is about the time when the flashback
probably came from.) however, since then rex seems to have reconsidered
his plan to off lucy, taking back the pills (which were actually vitamin
c, but which he thought were the poison pills) saying the batch had been
recalled.
that's all i remember. hope it helps!

I loved when he asked Robin why everyone babytalked to the kid. Not only
was that Classic Jason, it was also one of those perfectly reasonable
questions that most people don't ever really stop to think about. Most
people don't even notice they do it.
And his speech to the baby on Friday was awesome, too. And his decision to
give the baby a name was great -- the whole thing played out so well.

And last week it was SO easy to see how Jason ends up chosing Mike and
Emily to be the baby's godparents. Jason and Emily were, as always,
fabulous. And Lila's visit was wonderful -- I loved that she called the
doofuses "stupid jugheaded Quartermaine men." <g> That was beautiful. And
seeing Jason relate to Lila and Em so well was really sweet.
And I LOVED the scenes with Justus and Jason and the ones with Justus and
Edward from Friday. Those were so great -- I especially loved the look on
Justus' face when Jason stated unequivically that he wanted Bobbie Spencer
to be named gaurdian of the kid if anything happens to Jason. The whole
exchange about Jason insisting that the Q's NEVER get their hands on the
baby, and him telling Justus that he isn't good at the hypotheticals, so to
please let him know if he's missing anything -- all of it.
I also loved the way his employee pointed out that Jason showing up at the
docks was bad for his image -- and how he was good in explaining that his
image is not just a matter of ego, it's a means to successfully do business
and Jason can't afford to do anything to damage his. It was also very
interesting the way he pointed out that a successful leader could only be
successful if he valued his own life -- too bad Robin wasn't around to hear
that.
Ironic the way that someone who has as little use for "blood family" as
Jason does is so deliberate about including Bobbie in the baby's life. But
it's also extremely cool.
I also loved the way that Justus pointed out to Jason that, to the courts,
it would look like Carly just abandoned the baby (which, to get on my
trusty soapbox, strikes me as SUCH a sexist response to severe post-pardum
depression -- "Get over it and take care of the kid!" Pfft!), and so he
couldn't count on her being able to wrangle custody away from the Q's if it
came down to it.
The whole thing is so incredible and this is one of the few times that I
can agree with one of Guza's obsessions. This is aobut the only storyline
that I don't mind seeing four days per week.

Actually, I think that's pretty much it. I think Wendy is just trying to
avoid having people come back at her and say: "You said Genie would be
back in two months!" Guza's comments were not any different *literally* --
only his tone implied anything different. Plus, from the beginning, Genie
has said that a good storyline could lure her back, and that's Guza's
department. I think maybe he's counting on her bieng intrigued enough to
return. I don't think Wendy can count on that until she has Genie's
signature on a deal.

I wanted to. And, honestly, I was headed that direction until that OTHER
woman brought up K&L. I wasn't going to mention much of K&L to Guza at
ALL. But when they came up, then I HAD to say something. And by then my
attention was deverted away from J&B.

Thanks. I wish a whole bunch of us could have gone. And I wish a bunch of
us could have gone and seen The High Lonesome the night before. List Lord

love with the band at Take a Chance.

<snort> I wish. I think Guza is dragging this out just to torment us.
As for the WSB thing... I hadn't heard that. Knowing who the head writer
is, though, I find it a little unlikely. I can't see Guza going the WSB
route on anything -- he tends to boil things down to basic
Cassadine/Spencer war stuff.

And the spoilers indicated that this will turn out to be related to a lot
of other things going on in town -- and since everything ELSE in town seems
to be getting ensnared in ths Cassadine/Spencer thing (including Carly and
the baby, eventually), I'd venture to say this is probably headed that way,
too.
OTOH, Guza is playing a lot of "wait and see." So who knows at this point?

Actually, that's not right.
He DID say something different that Wendy did. Wendy was saying the same
old same old ("Genie is enjoying being home with her children right now and
we are respecting that choice." -- which is actually very much of a
politicians answer).
Guza said something more along the lines of: "She'll be back." But he was
equally cryptic about *when*. He sounded very optimistic, though. Like
he's got something in the works that he just *knows* will be enough to lure
Genie out of her state of domestic bliss.
<shrug> Who knows? More wait and see, I think.

i kind of figured as much. wendy has to be much more of a politician,
because ultimately (as we all know!) she ends up getting blamed for
whatever goes wrong! whereas guza can be a little more lax, since while
wendy gets blamed for everything that goes wrong, he just gets praised

Subject: GH/PC: Jason/Bobbie/Mike
i just HAVE to say how much i LOVED LOVED LOVED jason's chat with bobbie
and mike yesterday! (even though i have a teensy problem with them all
accepting a baptism as some sort of legal authority, when it's just
NOT...but oh well. a baptism is clearly more dramatic than a visit to
city hall to fill out a birth certificate, so i guess i'll forgive them!
although, a "revised" birth certificate, mike??? i've said it before,
and i'll say it again...if this child doesn't have a name yet, then he
doesn't HAVE a birth certificate!!! minor detail...)
jason's question "are godparents like grandparents?" just CRACKED me up!
and mike asking the mob boss, "you want ME to be the godfather?" was
just too funny for words! and even though i'm a little curious as to
exactly when bobbie and jason got so tight, i'm loving the effect so
much (bobbie getting involved in her grandson's life) that i just don't
care if her little visits to the penthouse don't make too much sense in
the overall scheme of things. (i am, however, curious as to why ROBIN
hasn't been involved in any of this. she hasn't seen jason, i don't
think, since the day she convinced him to go to the q's for em's
birthday. so as far as we know, she doesn't know about any of that
fiasco, or about jason's realization about his life being too dangerous
for a baby, or about the baptism, or the godparents, or ANYTHING? that
seems strange to me...especially when i interpreted her comment to
justus (that she thinks she knows who told him she was back in town) to
mean jason. clearly they're still meant to be friendly, so why isn't
she involved at all? just curious...)
anyway, just had to share that. i really can't wait for friday, because
i think this baptism...between the q's and carly's return...is going to
be a VERY interesting event!

I think that's solely a by-product of Jason knowing the Bobbie is Carly's
biological mother, and trying, thereby, to get Bobbie involved in her
grandson's life. He's deliberately fostered Bobbie's infatuation with the
tyke, with surprisingly little resistance from Luke. Of course, Carly
isn't around to object, either <g>.
>(i am, however, curious as to why ROBIN
>hasn't been involved in any of this.
As I recall, Robin made it pretty clear that she didn't intend to "pick up
her old life" again, which I took to mean her relationship with Jason.
Jason has, so far, taken that with very little comment. But then, who
would he comment too? A soliloquoy to the baby about his love for Robin? :)

Sorry to burst your bubble, Julie, but yes, a birth certificate can be issued
without a first name. Doesn't happen as often nowadays, but it does happen. And
in the past it was quite common. As a genealogist, I dig into lots of vital
records, and have found a lot of them. At least nowadays, there are also the
"revised" certificate files, but I'm not so lucky with 100 year old records. In
years past, they would sometimes wait as much as a year to name a child,
because they wanted to see the personality develop before deciding on a name.

Subject: GH/PC: FIC: Round Duck 1
On the principle that, if the person who claimed the next piece of a round
robin hasn't had time to actually write said piece in a month and a half,
the previous piece should probably be reposted <g>...
Part 2 is up for grabs, should anybody want to take a stab at it,
particularly given all this K&L contemplation recently churned up on the
K&L list ;)
Repost--------
Okay, this one's a round duck...er, robin. It's PG rated. Really <g>.
Round Duck, part 1
a GH story
Ducks are not deeply philosophical, it must be admitted. They don't tend
to ponder, or ruminate, or even reflect. But if ducks could draw
conclusions, Sigmund would probably have decided that Lucy Coe was
feathered at heart...she seemed to get so much enjoyment out of that bathtub!
"Oooh, Doc."
Sigmund prodded his feathers with his bill, waiting impatiently in the
doorway of the bathroom for his owner to leave the tub.
"Oooh, yeah, right there."
While ducks didn't ponder, they did have some small semblance of survival
instincts. Doctor Kevin Collins had not reacted well the last time Sigmund
suggested to Lucy, with a loud quack, that perhaps she'd spent quite
enough time in the water.
"Oh! Harder! Right there!"
Survival instincts intact, Sigmund sighed a ducky sigh and waddled back to
his bed. It seemed as if he was in for a long wait.
***
"Oh, that's perfect." Lucy leaned back with a slight shudder, into the
arms of her lover, Kevin Collins. The bubbles frothed around them
pleasantly as she sank down a little lower. "How do you know just where
the tension is? Is that a doctor thing? Do you take a course on how to
detect annoying little muscle pains and massage them away?"
Kevin cupped a little of the bathwater in his hands and let it dribble over
her shoulders, still pleasantly pink from his massage. "No, Lucy, we
psychiatrists are trained to detect annoying little brain pains and massage
them away." He leaned forward, peering into her ear. "Nope," he said
regretfully. "Nothing there."
Lucy's lips twisted into a pout, and she turned slightly, enough to blow
bubbles at him. "Oh, pooh." Then she smiled as he sputtered at the
floral-fragranced froth which now adorned his chin.
"Lucy," he said contentedly, "Any expertise I may have gained in massage
techniques has come under your excellent...tutelage." He pulled her back
against him, his hand resting lightly on her soapy stomach. "And now are
you going to tell me why you've had such a stressful day? Or," he kissed
the side of her head, "shall we just continue relieving your tension?"
"Hmmmm. That would be nice." She closed her eyes, comfortably lulled by
the warmth of the water, the comforting pressure of his body wrapped around
her.
"Lucy?" Kevin asked quietly. "You still with me?"
"Lucy's not here," she answered finally. "She's died and gone to heaven."
"I always suspected that heaven was bathtub-shaped," Kevin answered
solemnly. "But I'm not sure than you can do this in heaven."
Lucy squealed as he touched a particularly ticklish spot, water lapping
over the tub as she started in surprise. "Of course you can do that in
heaven, Doc. What's the point in going to heaven if you can't have fun?"
And she tickled him back.
The rapidly-progressing tickle/water fight had just grown interesting when
the phone rang.
"Let it ring," Kevin removed his lips from hers long enough to suggest.
She complied briefly, then sighed in frustration. "You wouldn't say that
if it was one of your patients, Doc. It might be one of mine." Lucy
rummaged in the pile of clothing next to the tub for the towel underneath.
"One of your patients?" Kevin asked, his tone amused and slightly wary.
She paused in her wrestle with the towel. "Well, I have people who depend
on me. And so I'm kind of like an advisor for them--"
"Co-conspirator, you mean."
"--and so if I let them down, that would be like you letting down one of
your patients," Lucy continued as she stumbled through the doorway, trying
to disentangle herself from the pair of dress pants that Kevin would--under
less hurried circumstances--have hung neatly on a hangar rather than
leaving them strewn on the bathroom floor.
"And who do you have depending on you at the moment?" Kevin called as she
lifted the receiver.
Even before she said hello, Lucy realized with a sinking feeling that the
tension in her shoulders had returned. This wasn't going to be good.
"Hello?"
"Lucy? I need your help."
