Sam Can't Get Anyone to Believe Her.

Tuesday, October 21 2008
Alexis is stunned by another betrayal by her daughter, Scott insists that Lulu stay where she can get help and Claudia likes her new position of power.


Sam is scrambling over at her place to convince her mother to believe her. She tells Mac that she has been working undercover for months on trying to prove that Jerry and Karpov are smuggling drugs. Alexis tells Sam to stop talking and let Mac arrest her. Then she promises that she'll have Diane meet her at the PCPD. Lucky bursts through the door and Mac tells him that this isn't his case. Lucky says that he came because he and Sam used to be involved. Sam tells Lucky that he bailed on her months ago and needs to leave.



Ric is in Jason's face out at the Zacchara's house. He says that Sonny is going to work for them and Jason doesn't have the guts to go up against him, so they're in control. Jason says that he'll shut them down if he has to and he won't have to scratch Sonny in the process. Ric says that if Jason tears down Sonny's new organization, he can't go after Karpov and that's his only motivation at the moment. Therefore, he would fight! Ric asks Jason if he could really shoot Sonny? Jason accuses Ric of wanting Sonny so turned around that he can't tell the difference between friends and an enemy.



"Please tell me you said no," Claudia tells Sonny at The Metro Court after hearing Anthony's plans for them to marry. Sonny calmly tells her about her father's offer and then reminds her that of course he said no because he's in love with Kate. Claudia says that her father has been trying to get rid of her for years, so this doesn't surprise her. When she hears that Sonny turned him down, she says it's too late because Anthony already knows that he wants something. Sonny clarifies what he thinks he's hearing. He asks if she would actually marry him? Claudia says that they pretty much hate each other, but could have good sex.



Out at Shadybrook, Maxie and Spinelli are in Lulu's room trying to think of an escape plan when Scott comes into the room. He quickly takes note of Maxie and Spinelli's nuthouse garb and accuses them of trying to bust Lulu out. Maxie tells him that he's the person responsible for Lulu being here because he chased her and Johnny down like dogs. Nonetheless, Scott says that Lulu needs help and needs to stay right where she is. Lulu tells Scott to leave, but he won't go until Maxie and Spinelli leave too. Finally, they all leave Lulu alone in her room.



Lulu walks over to Laura's room to 'talk'. She brings her mother up to speed on everything that's happened lately and talks about the night she killed Logan. Scott is listening outside the cracked door.



Epiphany is in an especially foul mood at GH today. Robin and Patrick can't figure out what's wrong with her and finally she lets them have it. She says that they've been driving her staff to distraction ever since they laid eyes on each other. And now, with a baby on the way and a wedding to put together in less than two weeks, they're sure to implode and involve all the rest of them. Robin and Patrick promise that all is well in their world these days and Epiphany says, "We'll see!"



Claudia goes home and tells Anthony that he can't marry her off to the highest bidder. Anthony is encouraged that Sonny has already come to her with his proposal. He tells Claudia not to disappoint him after redeeming herself during her brother's trial. Claudia says that he's probably planning on killing her and her new husband and giving everything to John anyway.



John comes into the room and Anthony tells him that Claudia will explain everything. After he wheels away laughing, Claudia fills her brother in. Johnny's first comment is that Sonny treats her like a dog, but Claudia says that this could work for them if they play it right. She says that she's in a power position for the first time in a long time and she's okay with that!



Sonny has gone to visit Kate. She's upset because she can't stop thinking about how close they came to getting everything they want. Sonny tells her that they still can. Kate tells him about Jason's visit earlier and that she does not want him to avenge her. She says that Crimson and his coffee business would give them a wonderful life. Sonny says that he tried, but he cannot get out of the mob. "If you can't see yourself living with me while I'm in the mob, then I understand," he tells her. He asks her to trust him that the violence won't get worse, in fact, the situation will get better.



Olivia comes, so Sonny kisses Kate goodbye and then leaves. Kate makes another plea for Olivia to tell Sonny that he has a son because it could make all the difference to him. Olivia refuses and leaves. On her way out of the hospital, she runs into Sonny talking to Mike. She listens as he explains that Jason won't help him go after Karpov, so he's considering making an alliance with the Zaccharas. Then he tells Mike that he'd have to marry Claudia to get the power.



Jerry has already arrived at the PCPD when Sam is brought in. She struggles with the cops and promises to make Jerry pay for setting her up. Lucky takes her into the interrogation room and Mac tells Jerry not to leave town because he is a person of interest. Then Jerry tries to convince Alexis that he was only trying to help her and that he let it go too far. Alexis is too stunned by what she saw in the hot tub to hear anything else.



Inside the interrogation room, Lucky reports to Sam that her prints were found all over the drugs, not Jerry's. She reminds him that she was framed and asks if he believes her. Lucky says that he can't stop thinking about her in the hot tub with Jerry, and then asks if she would have slept with him to get what she wants. Sam says that she wouldn't, but Lucky can't say that he believes her.



Robin has asked Jason to meet her at The Metro Court. She tells him that she has decided to marry Patrick and she'd like him to come to the wedding. Jason hugs her and says that he's happy that she's found everything he wanted for her. He says that he'll be with her in his heart, but can't come to her wedding.


Next on General Hospital:

Johnny is convinced that Lulu is better off without him.

Maxie and Spinelli prove to Lulu that she couldn't have written the notes.

Lulu, Maxie and Spinelli see Trevor at Shadybrook and wonder if he is the blackmailer.

Jax plans to buy Spoon Island out from under Nik.

Luke is bailed out of jail by a beautiful woman, but Tracy is left behind.

Robin is surprised with a wedding shower.

"We are related to the Borgias right?" Claudia hit the nail on the head with that remark. I can't wait to see the Sonny/Claudia wedding. I wonder if she knows that Lucrezia Borgia's husband was murdered by her father (the Pope Alexander) and her brother Cesare when a more suitable alliance came up? The plot thickens!

You can be sure that Olivia of the flapping ears tells Kate what she heard.

Why would Trevor want to be involved with Lulu and Johnny's affair. He is better off if Johnny is involved with loony loo, it keeps Johnny out of the way.

Dumb Lucky again! That man has solid bone between the ears. He was so busy having table sex and couch sex with Sam that his brain shrank to nothing.

aaaaaawe. I still love Jason and Robin together, not that I would want them as a couple - I think the Scrubs are a good pair...but seeing them together reminds me of the old days, just after Stone died *sigh*

Scotty Scotty, could you be more evil?!? Now you are spying on a crazywoman talking to her comatose mom?

Posted by SOAPYFRIEND at Tuesday, October 21 2008 02:02 PM

LOL Cynic!! Do you think all of Lucky's blood has been rerouted to the wrong part of his anatomy where Sam is concerned?

Posted by LUVNSOAPS at Tuesday, October 21 2008 02:05 PM

Wow first Alexis doesn't believe Sam(Some say with good reason)and that is her mother!!Now Lucky who has been in on the plan since day one has turned on Sam as well.Maybe she should bring Nikolas in to verify what she has been up to.I always had a feeling that it was Scott that was blackmailing Lulu.

I really hoping that Claudia and Sonny do't get married,even though I know they have alot of chemistry together since back in the days,also can't wait to see and hear Ric's reaction to the "wedding news".

Posted by Cynic at Tuesday, October 21 2008 02:16 PM

I'm going to get a bit sanctimonious here, but I have a problem with the way they use marriage as a convenience in GH. Marriage is supposed to be a sacrament, a joining of two people for life in holy wedlock, not a convenient way of avoiding testifying against them in court, or getting a leg up in a crime family, with a divorce once the goal has been achieved.

The writers are sending a wrong message to young viewers, that it is OK to lie to and cheat on your spouse as marriage is only until something or someone better comes along "till divorce us do part".

Cynic, had to laugh at "Olivia of the flapping ears.."
You were much kinder as I thought Olivia was quite tacky in that top & obnoxious to Patrick.

Today's episode had a nice mixture of characters fr Robin, Jason, Ric, Maxie, Spinelli, Claudia, Epiphany; even Sonny was ok. Only downside was the Bensonhurst Cousins - when are they going back??

Doesn't anyone intimidate Maxie? She holds her own against anyone fr Anthony Z to Mac. She's amazing!

What has happened to Matt Hunter????

Cynic OMG I couldn't agree more aabout what you said about Lucky. i didn't believe it when people said he was dumb but now I seriously couldn't agree more.

Now, Alexis is dumb to but Sam also made the mistake of not telling her mother when she had the chance. However, that doesn't excuse Alexis for not trusting her own daughter to begin with. I mean first she gives her up as a baby, then breaks her up from the guy she loves, then treats her like crap, now betrays her and takes a pyscho pathes side. Alexis couldn't be stupider...umm actually she topped that off by gettinmg her arrested. What a mother she is.
I offically HATE yes HATE JEX, they can both go the hell and never come back!

Ok i'm done with my Rant!!!
Excuse me for using such harsh words but that's how I feel, and there are no alternate word for how strongly i feel.(at least that I know off) Lack of vocab, Sorry!!

Hey Cynic ~~~ You brought up a valid point regarding GH's take on marriage! I'm 59 and was brought up to feel the same way as you towards marriage! I'm not disagreeing w/ you, but would like to add GH's take on marriage is NOT the only place our young is being impressed!! In 'reality' they see it every where they turn in today's world. Family members, friends, celebraties, etc. It's easier to get married and get divorced, then to find a good job! JMO!

WHY is Lucky considered dumb for not believing Sam? That's the EXACT way him and Sam got together...she slept with him to get back at Liz so it's pretty easy to believe she would do it again to get something she wanted.

As for her with Alexis, well it's not hard to believe that Alexis would doubt her either since she has ALSO betrayed Alexis before. Alexis was trying to protect her by telling her to stop talking and she would have a lawyer for her. IF you saw today's show, she didn't know if she believed Jerry either so before jumping on her, saying she's a bad mother or is dumb, how about looking at the two people who betrayed her..two con artists. I'd say Alexis is the one who SHOULD be upset and confused.

I know some think that Sam can do no wrong but eventually you have to see that she has moral issues and does things without a thought or care to who gets hurt. She should have known that she can't use her body to get out of EVERY situation. Heck, she STILL wants to go after Jerry, even after he framed her and set her up to her mom.....so WHO'S the dumb one??
