Unlikely Alliances.

Monday, May 05 2008
Sonny and Jax find themselves on the same side for the first time, Anna and Luke party it up and Claudia spews her venom on Kate.


Anna and Luke are still partying it up on The Haunted Star. They have strewn some of their clothes about and are wishing there was a strippers' swing somewhere in the vicinity. They are able to rig one up and just as Anna starts to play on it, Robin, Patrick and Tracy show up. In spite of their scowls, Anna is thrilled to see them because how many grandmas do they know who can perform such moves, she asks. As she stretches to reach another shot from Luke, she pulls a muscle in her back. They get her off the swing and she agrees to go home and leave "Spence" behind. Luke slurs to Spanky Buns that she needs a ride on the "trying flapeze." Spanky doesn't think so.



Jason and Spinelli are on their way to find Devlin. Maxie is hiding in the trunk and can hear them arguing over who gets to drive. Jason finally gives in and gives Spinelli the driver's seat, but is quickly sorry because Spinelli doesn’t want to hit moose offspring that tend to stroll after dark. Finally they stop talking about wildlife and Spinelli fills Jason in on how Dr. Devlin ended up with a tracking device in his pants in Canada. Before long Spinelli's theory about rambling young "antlered ones" proves true and he swerves to avoid hitting one. As a result, Maxie slams around in the back seat and reveals herself. Spinelli smiles when he sees her. Jason doesn't. He makes her get out and tells her that a bus will be along within an hour or two. She begs Spinelli to stay with her and tells Jason that she'll lose her job if a million bucks don't appear in Kate's account by morning. Jason tells her that he'll take care of that, but they have to leave now!



Out at Zacchara headquarters, Claudia has been banished from the "men's" business dealings and is trying to eavesdrop from outside the door. Logan finds her and she immediately starts to flirt with him. When that doesn't work, she insults him by calling him her father's glorified nurse. On the other side of the door, Johnny tells his father that he is in charge and what he says goes. Trevor takes the opportunity to point out to Ric that is how a son respects his father. Ric turns the tables on him and reveals that Trevor is now the owner of the Alcazar piers and if he wants to show respect, maybe he should turn them over to Anthony. Anthony likes that game and asks Johnny which of the two Lansing men does he want for a friend and which does he want for an enemy? They discuss possible scenarios about the property and decide that Trevor can keep them for now. Anthony dismisses Ric and Trevor and tells Johnny that he's proud of him, but he just made an enemy of Ric.



At Crimson, Kate is urging Lulu to stop blaming Maxie for her ineptness. The phone rings and Lulu patches a call from Devlin through to Kate. He threatens to come back to Port Charles unless he gets more money from her and Kate says that he is to stop blackmailing her. She informs Devlin that Sonny will kill him if he returns to town, but Devlin says that maybe he'll kill Sonny. Either way, Sonny will either end up dead or in prison.



Out in the foyer, Lulu is trying to get some work done but Claudia shows up to ask questions about Logan. Kate comes out and asks Claudia to leave her assistant alone. Then she tells Lulu that she's going to GH to visit Michael. Claudia jumps right in and calls Kate dumb if she's going to see Sonny's son. She reminds Kate that if she hadn't insisted on taking the boy to see his daddy at work, none of this would've happened and that Carly must hate the sight of her face.



At GH, Carly pulls herself out of Sonny's arms and rushes into Jax's. He asks about Michael and Sonny tells him that his son is in a permanent coma. Jax is sorry to hear that, but quickly offers an option. He's just come from a world-class facility in NYC in which Michael would get excellent care. Carly is upset that he has given up on her son. Jax said that he merely wanted to be prepared in case they didn't get the news they wanted. Carly doesn't want to hear more, but Sonny does. After Jax explains everything the place has to offer, Sonny is impressed and Carly feels betrayed by both of them. She tells them both that if they think there's no hope, why should they bother to keep Michael alive? She says she'll get a court order to remove the feeding tube if no one has any faith in him. After she goes back to Michael's side, Sonny thanks Jax for his help.



Robin gets Anna back to her place and they continue to talk about impending mother (and grandmother) hood. They complain of stretch marks and pimples, grey hair and wrinkles. Robin expresses her fear of raising her baby alone - in spite of all of Uncle Mac's invitations to move back home. Patrick returns with takeout food and before Robin even gets a mouthful of corned beef down, Anna asks him when he's going to marry her daughter.



Luke is feeling his hangover when Sonny comes to The Haunted Star asking for a drink. Luke gladly gives him one and Sonny asks about the time when Lucky was in a coma. He tells Luke about Michael's prognosis and then about Carly's comment about how letting him die might be better. Sonny admits that he's starting to wonder if she's right. Luke asks if Michael can breathe on his own and Sonny says he's in perfect health but he can't wake up. Luke says it was easier to make the call (to pull the plug) with Lucky because he was on a ventilator. Then he realizes that Laura's kind of in the same boat as Michael, but she always believed in miracles. Sonny says that Michael's odds are 10,000 and 1 and the house always wins. Just then Claudia shows up and says that they need to talk about her father.



Back at the country bus stop, Maxie ducks in the bushes and hides when she sees none other than Dr. Devlin show up. She starts to text Spinelli, but Devlin nabs her before she can finish.


Next on General Hospital:

Robin insists that her mother do damage control, but Anna has to leave town again.

Patrick goes to Luke for advice.

Dr. Devlin uses Maxie as a human shield.

1.Claudia telling off Kate. Stupid stupid stupid. Ransomha ITA what was the purpose of her even being there and they way they had her speak to her I would have dropped kicke her out of that office so fast. I hope Logan dosn't fall for her. Loved Kates dress.

2.Lulu giggling behind Kates back...sickening AND the less I see of her and Johnny the more I like GH. Thank you TIVO fast forward button!!!

3.Spinelli and Maxie LOVE THEM!! But what kind of a man would leave a women at a bus dtop at night?

4.Carly/Sonny/Jax loved there scenes. I hope TPTB continue to show the maternal side of Carly. What a heavey decision to make.

6.Cannot wait for Anna to make an exit. Her s/l makes no sense IMO.

CHRIST304 ITA It sure does seem that GH is making Johnny/Lulu like Luke and Laura. But there will never be a s/l like that one!

Hello tonight everyone. Mob Boss here..

Lulu, I am beginning to like less and less of her. I just cant quite at the moment put my finger on why..she is just rather annoying. some days I have to admit I can tolerate Lulu..but then she does something stupid. or says something that turns me away from her..Her and Johnny scenes make me want to look up at the ceiling and twiddle my thumbs until I hear someone else come upon the screen..

And wow..Claudia blasted Kate... I mean.wow haha. I personally believe she called her quite well, and I think Kate was shocked to realize Claudia pegged her so well to..then she goes and cries..Way to be tough Connie..of course, in the same breath. What Kate does shouldnt be any of Claudia's business, And If I were Kate would have reminded her of that as well.

It was however a shock to me to see Sonny and Jax actually getting along.. In fact all of the scenes with Carly,Sonny and Jax were dont perfectly.. I hope to see more..

Hooray though for Jason being on the road with Spinelli..that meant we didnt have to sit through another Jason-liz scene which sickens me..They just should have kept him with Sam..thats one girl I like...But back to the topic..When Spinelli called Maxie Dazzling..Jason looked at him as if he was on something..and even had to check like. did you just call her Dazzling? The scenes between those two are funny as well..With Spinelli you get to see the comedy side of Jason.. I am so glad he took him in.

Oh, and they decide they were just going to scrap the whole, who is Spinelli's father thing on GH?

thats all I have for now..until later..this has been your Local Mob Boss

I forgot Lulu was sitting in Kate's office when Claudia was there, see, that's how much I like Lulu. First of all, Lulu is Carly's niece, it was up to Lulu if she wanted to, stand up and tell Kate off for Carly but then she would loose her job but it still wasn't any of Claudia's business to open her mouth and why didn't Lulu say something or throw her out? There will never be no matter how they may try another Luke/Laura. You could never top their adventure plus the storylines were better and the characters Tony Geary/Genie Francis were better than Lulu/Johnny. Claudia and Johnny's relationship is so creepy to me, I was thinking, maybe they think they are brother/sister and aren't? Maybe Claudia has the hots for Johnny? Hey, it's a soap opera, anything could happen. I am not that close with my brothers like them two are, it's just weird. Who ever commented about Spin's dad storyline, I hope it's not over, it would be so much fun to find out who it is. I am still going with either Trevor/AZ/ or even Jerry. Those are the only men I feel that could be old enough to have a son that age.

hey boss man! (mob boss) my name is raggies and i am glad you joined our site. we are pretty much on the opposite side of the clothes line but i like your posting style, not too harsh but on point.

at first i didn't like claudia but she grew on me and changed my mind. yesterday pretty much ended it though. it was not necessary for all of that. i felt that kate really didn't desere all of that. i believe that kate is really conflicted on all of this. she loves sonny and wants to support him and his needs, she seemed to be very concerned about michael and i think she really felt terrible about carly and her grief. it is a weired situation. i feel for her there. now the ian thing, boo boo to the writers.i don't blame kate for that even though she is the character. i bet when she got that script connie herself said some bad words! i also think that if sonny had been in the room while claudia was going after the jugular kate would have asserted herself more. she tends to be like that when sonny is around. i felt the tears were genuine and in that i felt sorry for her. she is in a terrible position.

ahhh, great! another sam fan. there are many of us that likes sam. i fall on both sides of the fence there. i actually like liz alot too. hard to comment on them right now cause they aren't really showing them that much.i think the reason i like jason and liz alot is because they have really been through alot and if they want to be together then so be it.

have a great day and happy posing!, raggies.

hey cbru only one soap, gh fan 4 life cemic i am waving to you!

morning everyone, i have a question, and i'm only asking so i can see different views....

i'm a huge Lulu fan, how come she is so unliked by so many? please everyone feel free to share i won't be offended, promise

Posted by raggsies at Tuesday, May 06 2008 05:31 AM

hey there roe! i thought the luluu/claudia/kate scene wa stinky too. lulu missed her golden opprotunity to butt into kates business. she acted so selfish, gigiling,unconcerned. if maxi was there she would have been right in claudias face, she might not would have been able to do much but at least she would have shown who she supported.

Posted by EBONY0628 at Tuesday, May 06 2008 05:36 AM

LMA2931 i was a lulu fan until they got her on the self righteous holier than thou cloud (plus shes in everyones business... shes not living her own life anymore just trying to control everyone elses) ... actually alot of female characters on the show are on the cloud. When they fall through and land back on earth i will be glad to watch their scenes. Like Carly all the apologies and bonds that were made due to the story line made her more watchable(always understood her but not always able to watch her). JMO

Posted by raggsies at Tuesday, May 06 2008 05:44 AM

LMA hey gal, in the beginning i like lulu because she was lauras child. now there seems to be so manny reasons to not like her. i am sure you don't want me to mention all the times she missed the boat. sometimes i think your attraction to her is only because you love johnny so much, so luluu has to come along.when se opens her mouth to talk most times you will notice that she really doesn't know what she is talking about. she is always defensive. the way she treated spinn was pretty bad too. she just reminds me of these black flies we have, they irritate you to death buzzing around and then land on you and bite you. i just don't like anything that irritates me. maybe some of the other gals might want to express some stronger views but that is the only explanation i can give you. (sorry mob boss "guys" too!)
