Laura Leaves with Scott!

Friday, October 24 2008
Scott offers to let Lulu go if Laura comes with him, the Justice of the Peace refuses to marry Jason and Claudia and Sonny asks Olivia to bring her son to Port Charles.


Claudia and Jason are standing before the Justice of the Peace. As he starts reciting the vows, Claudia asks Jason for money so she can bribe the Justice to skip all references to 'love'. The Justice agrees, but says that he can't marry two people who won't even take the other's hand. Reluctantly, Jason and Claudia hold hands. The Justice decides that he won't marry them because they obviously can't stand each other. Claudia turns to Jason and says that she would've done it and leaves the room. Jason gives the Justice a wad of cash, takes the unsigned marriage certificate and apologizes for wasting his time.



Back in the limo, Claudia tells Jason that now she has to marry Sonny, but he could stop the whole thing if he would just give Sonny his business back. She says that both she and Sonny were lying when they refused to get married and then tells Jason that her new husband will likely kill him because he is an insult to his pride. "This was our last chance and neither one of us took it," Claudia tells him.



Over at GH, Olivia grabs her phone out of Sonny's hands and proceeds to talk to Dante. After she hangs up, Sonny asks why she never told him about her son. Olivia says that Dante would be bored up here since he doesn't know anyone. Sonny says that he should come to Port Charles because he'd like to meet the boy. Olivia says that her son doesn't need to meet the popular mobster from Bensonhurst. Sonny persists with questions about the boy and asks if Kate knows about him? Olivia explains that Kate knew when he was born, but she was busy with her fashion thing. Sonny asks a few more questions and then finally comes out and asks who Dante's father is. Olivia says that it could've been a few guys, but she didn't want to share her beautiful kid with someone who didn't want her.



It's hard to say who is more stunned out at Shadybrook, Scott or Lulu. Laura has Scott by the shoulders and Lulu rushes over to her side to see if this could really be happening! Laura tells her that she's okay and then asks Scott how he could threaten her child? Scott gently speaks of his son and how he died. Laura says that Lulu acted in self-defense and Logan was a disturbed young man. She asks Scott if his anger has replaced all of his compassion? He explains that Logan grew up without a father and why. He skips ahead and makes the parallel between Logan, Lulu and Johnny's triangle and his, Laura's and Luke's. Laura tells Scott how torn she was all those years ago between him and Luke, but that her feelings for Luke were too powerful. Scott says that Lulu needs to pay for killing his son, and Laura tells him he should pay for killing Rick Webber then. She tells Scott that he must've had his reasons for killing her father, just like Lulu had her reasons. She tells Lulu to explain what happened to Logan and makes Scott listen to her. After Lulu tells him that she was holding the knife when Logan ran into it, Scott says that she just confessed to murder.



As he starts to leave, Laura begs him not to have her daughter arrested. He says that he'll let her go on one condition. If she comes with him, no questions asked, he'll drop the whole thing. Lulu begs Laura not to go with him, but Laura assures her that Scott wouldn't hurt her. As Lulu implores her to stay, Laura allows herself to be lead out the door by Scott.



Sam is brought into the interrogation room and finds Jerry waiting for her with Belgian chocolates as an apology. Sam laughs at him. Then Jerry tells her that this would be a good time for the 'if you can't beat them, join them' mentality. He tells her that when she gets out on bail, they could strike a partnership and rip Karpov off. Not missing a chance to play him, Sam cozies up to him and says that's a good idea. That's when Lucky shows up and says that he was going to help, but it looks like she doesn't need him.



Jerry tells 'Sweet Sam' goodbye, and then Lucky asks Sam what's going on between her and Jerry? Sam says that he means nothing to her, but Lucky says that she would've done anything to get what she wanted from him. He says that he's going out of town for a while because he can't deal with this mess right now.



Nadine breezes into Wyndemere and reminds Nikolas that Carly has been married several times already. Nikolas tells her that he and Carly were doing business only! He explains that he buttoned his shirt wrong and Carly tried to fix it, that's all. Nadine apologizes because she is so insecure and for acting like an absolute pill! Nik reminds her that sleeping with her was a big deal to him, too. Then, he tells the staff to leave them alone unless the house is on fire and asks her for some uninterrupted time together. He tells her that he wants her, cares about her and very much wants to continue with their relationship.



Down in Mexico, Tracy draws the line at scraping her husband off the bar room floor. She tells him to sleep it off. Luke wants to hurry off to Port Charles to save Lulu and says that waiting for Edward is like waiting for the Easter bunny to come down the chimney. Tracy orders him to drink coffee and then asks what he's going to say to Lulu. After Luke gives his standard 'Spencers are strong' speech, she orders more tequila because he's more useful to Lulu as a drunk. Then she explains, once again, how important it is for him to come through for Lulu this time. She gives him some breath spray and orders him to clean up, and then notices that she missed a call from Lulu. When she looks back up from her phone, Luke is gone.



Back at Shadybrook, Lulu is panicking because Tracy didn't answer her call. Her doctors find her in the hallway and she begs them to go look in her mother's room. They think she's delusional and carry her back to the padded cell.



From the passenger seat in Scott's car, Laura asks how far he thinks he'll get with a mental patient in a nightie? She says that Lulu is likely telling the doctors about everything right now. Scott says that he can be resourceful and says that he just needs enough time to get her to fall in love with him again.

For three days this week we have had to endure the alcoholic Luke Spencer stuck in a Mexican dive. Didn't we see this same scenario last year?

Sam is back in jail again. Lucky is feeling betrayed again. Sonny has yet another illegitimate child. Looloo had the screaming hab dabs again. It is no wonder that the viewership is reportedly down to two million. The BBC's One Man and His Dog has more action (that's the program where English sheepdogs herd a flock of sheep into a pen, then another one does it, then another).

Maybe they should change the daily hour to a weekly show and put some good writing, decent sets and location shots.

Hey Cynic - I agree. Did you ever watch GH Nightshift? SO much better than what they air ini the afternoons

Watching Claudia & Jason trying to get married was like watching Brenda & Jason all over again. Jason in comedic roles and keeping a straight face is fun to watch. Wish I could say the same thing about the S/L's going on right now.

I haven't done this in quite a while. I'm very sorry. I think that Kate and Olivia's secret is VERY close to comimg out. They both better talk to Carly and Alexis about the consequnces of keeping a secret child away from Sonny! The stuff is going to hit the fan when Sonny does find out. I wonder how Dante will feel when he finds out that Sonny is his father. I am so glad that Laura woke up for real this time. She needs to tell Scott to get some help. No wonder Logan went crazy! It is kind of in his genes. I really hope that Sonny doesn't marry Claudia. I also hope that Jason doesn't marry her either. I have said this a thousand times before and I will say ir again. I want Sonny to stay OUT of the mob, MARRY KATE, and live happily ever after. PLesae le that happen for them. I want Jerry to go down for setting Sam up and messing with Alexis. I think that Sam and Lucky deserve to be happy. I also hope that Nikolas and Nadine end up happy together. Emily would want that for him. Let Alexis find happiness with a good man who will be good to her. I also have to say that Luke and Tracy were hilarious today. I love those two together. Let me know what you think out there. More on Monday. Have a nice weekend! Bye!

Oh Sam, Sam, Sam, did you not learn THE FIRST TIME that Jerry was onto you so AGAIN you try to cozy up to him??? TRYING TO SEDUCE HIM ISN'T GOING TO WORK!! Girl, use your brains and street smarts you keep telling everybody you have instead of your sexuality for a change because Jerry is ONTO YOU!! Not to mention, you HAVE A MAN that is already not sure of your intentions with Jerry and YOU DO IT TO HIM AGAIN!!!

trevor and sonny are not related.sonny and ric are related.they share the same mother only.

Hv to admit the wedding fiasco was amusing but why did Jason take the blank marriage certificate??

Hey Olivia, I think paternity tests hv been around longer than 20 yrs. Good try, that answer should stump Sonny for awhile.

David Lago is going to play the Dante character - interesting choice. I haven't seen his work on Y&R but he seems capable.

If anyone needs to be locked up at Shadybrook, it is Scott Baldwin. How come he gets to waltz a patient out of the facility but Lulu can't even make a phone call.

sorry that comes from a comment on another page.someone stated that sonny and trevor are related.

Why do I feel like I was being Punk'd with today show. Were the writers trying to redo Brenda and Jason MOC with CLAWS? Or were they trying to scare Liason fans ? Cause if that was their attempt, tptb messed up big time. The whole MOC s/l was a waste of time I for was not amused at all, just another reason to parade Claws on our screen without a reason. Lusam I'm not a fan so I don't care, all I can say is Sam is lucky evil Jerry didn't stab her in that hot tub and leave her to bleed to death like he did Claws on the docks. BTW can someone please drain that HOT TUB.

I thought the conversation between Claudia and Jason was just rhetoric on Claudia's part. I can't believe how many posters would actually want to see them as a couple. And some have even said that they have chemistry.

I think Jason is comfortable talking to anyone in Port Charles. Claudia is just raunchy, just like Sam, and Carly--JMO. I have made no attempt to hide my feelings about a liason happily ever after, but that is the reason I support Liz and Jason, versus Jason with all these other women I mentioned above. To me, Liz represents the real world. The other women might have spice and spunk, but they're all trampy. They remind me of women who will do anything or anyone to get what they want. Jason is a bad boy, that needs a good girl--isn't that how it is most of the time in the real world? The good girl always falls for the bad boy. I know it's just a soap, but why is it that unless, there is some sort of scheme involving Jason and Sam or in this case Claudia, some posters that don't like liason get all giddy? Liason is a true love story! It's the wanting, the forbidden, the love that exist between Jason and Liz. With all the other women mentioned above, they're always scheming and trying to get someone or something. That to me is boring, because they're predictable--JMO.

I mean take Sam today. She's in lock up and she is still trying to scheme to get what she wants. I am of the opinion she would have slept with Jerry if it guaranteed her what she needs to get him locked up. I know Lucky was acting stupid about it, but he's getting a dose of her scheming cycle.

On to Olivia--who falls under the scheming women of Port Charles, I could see right through her. She wants Sonny for herself. And that's crazy, because she knows she wants Sonny, and yet she is trying to play peace maker with Sonny and Kate.

Laura was good, yelling at Scottie and putting him in his place the way she did, however, she really made me upset when she decided to go with him to protect Lulu. She could have screamed for assistance before she let him drag her off like that.
