Thursday, December 04 2008: GH is Starting to Feel Like The Wedding Channel!

Over at the newlywed's house Claudia proposes a strictly sexual relationship without any emotional attachments, but Sonny reminds her that their marriage is just about business. Claudia says that she simply cannot remain celibate for the duration of their marriage and asks if she can find someone to satisfy her needs? Sonny sees no problem with that. Max announces that Sasha has come to see him and shows her in. Sonny quickly reminds her that his father was beat up, but she claims to have come to talk about the future, not the past. Sonny tells her that he is now the head of the Zacchara organization and is ready to establish what happens to people who come after the people he cares about. Sasha looks concerned as she says that there are reports that a child has been taken so now wouldn't be a good time to start a war. She can see that Sonny is enraged, and quickly assures him that the child isn't one of his. Max drags her out of the room and Claudia tells him that he was very impressive.

Johnny shows up on the terrace and she rushes out to warn him that he could've been shot by the guards! He tells her that she'll be the one who is shot as soon as Sonny figures out that she was behind Michael's shooting. Claudia assures him that won't happen and rushes back inside.

Sonny tells her that he just learned that it was Jake Spencer who was taken and that he's Jason's child. He says that he won't dare make a move now. Claudia urgently agrees and says that he'll never forgive himself if anything happens to that boy. Sonny asks why she sounds as if she's talking from experience?

Tuesday, December 02 2008: Love Is An Illusion!

At the meeting, Sonny tells Claudia that he can handle his own meetings. She says he needs to let everyone get used to the new order of things. He spots Ric watching Claudia and asks what he is doing. Ric says he is waiting for the meeting to begin. Sonny tells him to leave. When they are alone, Sonny asks what Claudia is after. She says he needs her because she knows more about the Zacchara business than he does. He allows her to stay but tells everyone – including Ric! – to leave. Ric stays and says they need to go over the next day's business. Sonny asks why they both seem to be on the same team. Claudia says she is sticking around because his interests are hers as long as they are married! Claudia says they have to work together or this won't work. Sonny says he isn't used to working with anyone and won't start now. Ric says this is typical Sonny behavior. Sonny tells Ric to leave their past and their brotherly connection at the door and tells Claudia she can ask any questions but he won't answer them. Then, he tells them both that they have no authority to make decisions using his name. He leaves to see Kate. "Am I supposed to be okay with that?" Claudia says and Sonny reminds her that their marriage is based on business. He leaves. Claudia and Ric grin at one another. He starts to kiss her but Claudia says they can't move their relationship forward with Sonny in the picture. Ric reminds her that her marriage is a fake and Sonny will never fall for a woman who isn't trying to save him. Ric tells Claudia to keep her emotions in check around Sonny; Claudia says she doesn't fall in love. Ric says that doesn't matter because Sonny does and she can't be his angel in waiting because she isn't Lily or Emily or Kate. "I believe that love is an illusion," Claudia says. Ric says he feels sorry for her.

Sonny returns home and pours a drink. Claudia is waiting in the dark and asks how things went with Kate but Sonny won't talk about it. "So I guess Kate wasn't in a forgiving mood?" she says. Sonny says he doesn't deserve forgiveness; Claudia tells him to embrace his inner mobster and move on. Sonny sadly talks about lost dreams. She goes upstairs and he keeps drinking.
