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.

one last post before i go----anna----i use to like that character back in the past (or day if you want me to sound more hip!) just do not like this crazy story line. her characters resume is so unbeievable and nowthis. robin should not cater to her acting like this either. i dont believe she needs all of that now, unless it amuzes her. robin and her regnancy is a happy event but it is also a dangerous event, she is pregnant and she has HIV.she needs to discuss those fear, if any, with her mom, not 007. i don't know i am a granny and i love it. i am even known to wear special colorful "granny" clothes when i am around them. the day my daughter gave birth is the day i felt like i had did something right as a mom. it was so special to me. i have 2 grandblessings now and hubby has 3. 5 grandblessings to always love and i didn't have to hang upside down from a swing in the barn drunk to realize that!!!!!

Hello Ladies:

Loved Luke/Anna/Robin/Patrick/Tracy...go head spanky go for a swing...that would of been funny...

I'm not a huge fan of Lulu...but I don't dislike her...She is after all a Spencer...TPTB..I feel could write better S/L for her...make her more like Laura...

I would not want to be in Carly shoes at all...LW should win a Emmy next year...her acting is great...

i liked yesterday show. i thought jason,spinnelli and maxie were good. the looks jason was given to spinneli made me laugh. i wish carly would open her eyes and see she cant not take care of michael. michael needs speaical care and he can not get it at home. claudia i cant belive how she went off at kate. kate should of opened her mouth and told claudia off. if it wasnt for claudia michael would not be in the coma.

thanks for all the lulu info. i see all of your points

raggs me loving johnny boy may be why i still like her, this is sooo true.

but i think also i keep trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, because she is young and even though they take it to extremes, because it's only a story i really think she is just young dumb and confused like many girls her age. i don't think anygirl that age knows what she wants but at the same time, if you go into half the malls in this countries you will find that 90% of the girls that age think they know everything about everything. they have attitudes and think they should be center of attention.
she does get on my nerves but i kind of understand why.

Hey LMA ~~ I just finished reading all the comments for yesterday's epi'. I agree w/ your comment about Lulu! She does get irritating at times, but I've accepted her character for the 'kid' that she is!! I raised 4 girls. All w/ different personalities. Each one had their own special way to push my buttons!!!! Two I even 'nicknamed'.....'Attitude' and 'Mouth!!!!' hehehe I still loved them. They eventually 'outgrew' it. As you said.....walk in any mall and observe girls Lulu's age!

ITA w/ Raggs comment about Anna!! I've always loved the Anna from the past. I even enjoyed watching her w/ Rick Springfield and that s/l! The Anna we're watching today doesn't do her character justice. Getting drunk w/ Luke, playing strip roulette, swinging like a trapez stunt girl???? Totally 'undignified' behavior!! The first time I was a grandmother I was 36 years old!! Granted my life wasn't full of danger and excitement, therefore giving me reason to feel 'threatened' by becoming a 'grandmother!' I just think Anna should be able to accept being a grandmother w/ more grace and dignity!! My girls didn't wait until Robin's age to make me a grandmother! Anna should consider herself lucky if it bothers her so bad!! JMO!

Hey Gval ~~~ ITA w/ your comment. I love the scenes and inneraction between Jason/Spinelli/Maxi!! I was sitting there w/ my mouth open in shock when Jason and Spin' drove off and left her standing at the bus stop, in the dark, defenseless!! How did Dr. Devious know Maxi was there? I missed something! When he came walking around the corner my heart skipped a beat!!! Now....seeing today's previews I know Jason and Spin' come back to rescue Maxi!!!!

hey susie, i'm with you on the anna the grandma stuff. robin is what late twentys or early thirthies, she is not a teen and doesn't live with her parents so what is the big deal,

my sister made my mom a grandma at 37 my sister was 17, and my parents went crazy,

so when i got pregnant at 23 i was engaged living on my own paying my own bills and had a college degree and my daddy still flipped out...
can someoone thats a g-mother explain that to me.

WHY is Dr. Devlin back in town?? Get rid of him already! He blew thru $11 million already? (10 from Nik and 1 from Kate) Give me a break, what a stupid story line. And, to have Kate crying over Claudia, no way, the initial Kate would've given it back, what's up with her?

Posted by LMA2931 at Tuesday, May 06 2008 10:55 AM

i know there are not many people that will agree with what i'm about to say, but even though claudia had no room to say what she did, however, i kind of agreed with it, kate is the one who took michael there with out calry's permission, or even the curdosy of a phone call letting her know, i don't think kate is a bad person, it was sweet what she tried with michael, i think she really was trying to let some of the weight off that little boys heart having shot her, that was really great of her to do, i don't blame her at all but i think that she should really respect carly's request to stay away for now....
