Fevers & Spinelli are an Odd Combination.

Thursday, August 28 2008
Sasha and Leyla duke it out for Spinelli's love (in his dreams), Sonny and Kate take a trip and Laura learns the truth.


Kate and Clarisse are admiring the designer wedding gown that has just arrived at Kate's house. Sonny walks in and Kate quickly covers his eyes. She rants about bad luck again and then admits that she's losing it. She asks for a little getaway to his private island, but he says they should go somewhere new for them. Kate thinks that he's stalling because of all the other women he's taken there. "I want to make the island ours," she tells him. She wants him to prove that she can compete with the women of his past. He gives in.



Jax warmly greets Carly downstairs at the Metro Court. Their kiss is interrupted by Karpov. He playfully jokes that Mr. Jax might start making other men jealous by kissing his wife in public. Jax puts him in his place by mentioning the three European companies that Karpov is using to pretend he is a legitimate business man. After he's gone, Carly worries that Jax may have gone too far.



Spinelli wakes up in his hospital bed disturbed because Jason hasn't checked in yet. Maxie promises to find him. After she's gone, Sasha visits him to convey Mr. Karpov's concern. All Spinelli can see is the Slavic Seductress and his fever plays with his mind until he imagines Sasha coming on to him and being fought off by Leyla.



Robin gets off the third floor elevator and sees her friends huddled around talking. She approaches them and loudly says that it's not fair of everyone to push her into a proposal that she doesn't want to accept. Kelly pulls her away from the desk and points out that Patrick heard what she said.



Later, Robin gets on the PA system and addresses everyone who heard her very public marriage proposal. She says that she is honored to have Patrick's love because he is the most wonderful man she has ever met. She says that he knows her better than she knows herself and for some reason he still wants to marry her. Then she puts down the phone and walks over to Patrick. She says that she loves him more every day and isn't just being stubborn, but she just doesn't want to be married…to anyone.



Ric is working on Johnny's case at the PCPD when Claudia comes into the room. They argue back and forth and before long their banter seems more like foreplay. Johnny is brought to the room and tells them to put their libido on hold. Ric laughs at him and says that he should thank Claudia for bringing him in on the case. Then he asks them what they are keeping from him. When Johnny doesn't cooperate, Ric leaves. Claudia tells Johnny that protecting Lulu will get him convicted and Lulu killed by their father. Johnny challenges her to find a way to kill Anthony first.



Maxie is sitting at Jason's desk with Bernie, and then Diane races in as per "Jason's" text. When they realize that Jason didn’t send the text, they tell her that she has no right to demand their time. She threatens Diane with the cessation of all designer fashions unless they tell Jason about Spinelli's accident. Diane promptly dials the phone.



Monica, Edward and Alice have gone to Shadybrook to visit Lulu. She thanks them, but nervously says it's not a good time (because she is starting to see Logan right behind them). She retreats back to her room and the Q's talk to Lainey about it. Lainey tells them about Lulu's hallucinations and assures them that they are doing everything they can.



After Lulu's finally alone, she goes across the hall to talk to Laura. She reminds Laura that she asked her to clear her name in the Rick Webber murder. Laura is immensely relieved when she learns that Lulu was able to prove her innocence, but then asks who killed him? Scott Baldwin, Lulu tells her. They piece the whole incident together and then Laura apologizes for burdening her daughter with this. Lulu explains how happy she was to do something for her so that she wouldn't be haunted by her guilt. That's when Laura turns the tables and asks Lulu what she feels so guilty about? Lulu starts at the beginning and tells Laura that Scott had a son named Logan. She tells how she ended up meeting Johnny and fell in love with him, but it hurt Logan. Then she tells how it happened that she killed Logan. Compassion for her daughter gives Laura the strength to stand and hold Lulu in her arms.



Sonny and Kate have arrived at the island and Kate just loves the gardens. "This place looks good on ya," Sonny tells her and she kisses him so they can make a memory of their own.


Next on General Hospital:

Jerry hears Matt make a confession to Maxie.

Lulu gives Laura all the details about the night she killed Logan.

Lulu sees Logan while she's talking with Laura.

Sonny takes Kate down to his private island for some fun.

Liz goes to Jason and shares her feelings.

Patrick refuses to give up on the idea of marriage.

I loved Spinelli's "James Bond" hallucination today.

I also liked Jax threatening Karpov because it will backfire and come down on his head. About time too, as he is a bully, using his power and money to threaten people. I know that Karpov is not meant to be a good guy, yet, but we have had Jax threatening Kate and Karpov in the same week. I just hope that Jerry's Russian lover did not die and comes back to stir the pot.

so stupid

Posted by gh22 at Thursday, August 28 2008 02:07 PM

So Sonny slept with "Connie's" cousin, Olivia. They kind of slipped that info into today's epi. Any chance that means he could still be Spinelli's father? (and Kate's long lost cousin's son...)

I also loved seeing Spin's fantasy / hallucination!









******Was this in a Spoiler Alert?******




Did I see in a spoiler that Laura was only a hallucination of Lulu's? Is she really 'awake" or is Koo Koo Lu Lu imagining it?

I think this whole "Trading Sex for Work" thing is pretty lame. I'm a dude, and I know how dudes are, but why do we need to see it played out by these characters on a soap, or any show for that matter.

Claudia can't just be a strong personality with conviction? The only way she can interest someone in doing something is to use sex as the carrot on the stick?

I feel this is simply an unnecessary stereotype to perpetuate. Yet the audiences don't seem to mind.

I remember an old Pat Benetar about "Using Sex as a Weapon", and think it may be time for her to sing that song for the writers over at GH.

Spinelli's Bond dream was cool.

Enjoyed Ric & Claudia's banter.

Nice to see Monica, Edward & Alice.

not liking Johnny's demanding attitude - Claudia might be right about him becoming like their Daddy.

Claudia using sex as a motive to get her way is a joke. She just gives it away to anyone who looks in her direction. I don't like the dream theme. Looks dumb to me but ...for those who enjoy it...good for you.Robin is totally out of control. Patric should thank his lucky stars she said no. She is so self absorbed...and the biggest whinner...be glad you dont have to live with her.

Hey rans, totally agree with you on everything. Claudia gives it away, Spin and his dreams, and Robin. I don't think there is anyone more annoying on this soap-except for Carly and Lulu. She is so totally self-absorbed. I don't think she is capable of feeling empathy for anyone or anything. Patrick is getting no where. As I said yesterday, he needs to find someone who is sane and can think of him for a change.

Jax is so whipped. I am really sick of him treating Carly as the wronged party in everything she does. Sonny does the same thing. These two enable her to continue on with all of her garbage. I am waiting for the limo sex to come out but she will totally justify that and once again, Jax will be okay will her crap. He will probably say that it happened because of too much stress. Whatever-one can only hope she will get what is coming to her one day.

Nice seeing Edward, Monica and Alice. Not long enough, though.

Hi raggs, rans, roe, Sapphire, kia, shep, susie, NY, matthewmom and anyone I missed.

Hi everyone ... todays epi .. b-o-o-o-o-r-r-ing. Only good thing were the Q's & Alice.

Sonny - Kate --- who cares??

LuLu .. if you really want to help 'Johnnie' confess. Simple. I did it ! and then maybe we can all move on.


Carly ... so Jax forgave you. Not that he trusted you but he had to get proof that you were wronged. And this is okay??

Logan .. poor guy needs a shave and he still has that spot on his shirt.

Pretty soon Ric Webber will be in my laundry room looking for asprin.

A long tme viewer, I find myself switching channels or just turning GH off.

I have to say I am not usually a Spinelli fan but I did enjoy his dream sequence. They should have him speak and look like that all the time. He is alot more appealing that way! Otherwise, not much new going on. Kate and Sonny boring and as far as Robin and Patrick goes..she really is pathetic. Never liked her character but to go on the loudspeaker to basically turn down his proposal is just ridiculous. Love to see Laura. I hope she is not a hallucination of Lulu's!
