It's a Big Day for Visitors

Wednesday, October 18 2006
Jax and Alexis have some quality time together.
Lucky and Jason have some quality time together.
Ric and Elizabeth have some quality time together.


We see a glimpse of the old Alexis today, even though the going's tough for her right now.

Carly meets Jax at the Metro Court. He wants them to go visit Alexis and ask her to be his “best person” at the wedding. Carly says that she doesn't want that woman anywhere near her wedding. Jax points out that he's not thrilled that Sonny will be part of his family or that Jason is her “best person”. He says that Alexis, his best friend/ex wife, is part of the baggage that accompanies him into their relationship. Shouldn't they both be flexible? So, off they go to visit Alexis.

At Kelly's, Lulu tells Maxi that nothing she does will make her brother want her. And, since she didn't get a big payoff from the Quartermaines, she can go ahead and safely, legally terminate her pregnancy. Maxi goes ballistic and Dillon steps up to defend Lulu. Which, of course, sets Maxi into a different tirade, asking Georgie to notice how close her boyfriend is with the “skank”.

Liz asks Cruse what he overheard in the surveillance tapes from Jason's penthouse. Once she knows that Ric overheard that her baby might be Jason's, she questions his motives. Cruse can't guess, but suggests that it would be better for Lucky to hear it from her, just in case Ric plans on going to him.

Ric is visiting Lucky at rehab. He tells Lucky that he wasn't a good husband to Elizabeth when they were married and that he wants her to have a good life now. He offers to help Lucky out in making that possible. Ric says as the DA, he has the ability to override Mac and give Lucky his job back. He says that he'll be keeping his eye on Lucky, if he cheats again or goes back to drugs, he'll rip Lucky's world apart.


At the hospital. Patrick surprises Robin and she is thrilled that he is back from Paris. They are kissing out in the open and Epiphany says, “Ah-hem, are we in the supply closet?” They flatly reply that they are on their way there. But they get serious for a minute first. Robin asks if Dr. LaGrossi can bring Laura Spencer back. Patrick tells her that he's not sure if it's better to leave Laura in the state she's in rather than risk making it worse.

At the waterfront, Jason tells Sam that they can't take back any of their mistakes, all they both can do is move forward. He says it's up to her if she wants to make it work with them, even if he turns out to be the baby's father. Sam says her options are: #1) Make her family with Alexis work somehow #2) Rent a salvage boat and take off #3) “I will always choose you.” (You should've seen his face, like a little boy at Christmas.) Jason tells Sam that if he does end up being the baby's father, he will want to participate in its life. Sam says she wants him to be a father, but she didn't want it to happen like this.

At Kelly's, Dillon sets Maxi straight. He tells her that he and Georgie are in love and completely committed so leave her out of it. Maxi warns Georgie that Lulu wants to steal Dillon. “Look at her, standing there all innocent.” (Lulu gives the cutest little wave.) After Maxi storms off, Lulu apologizes to Georgie for setting Maxi off. Dillon apologizes to Lulu for Maxi bringing up the abortion. Georgie isn't thrilled to see how staunchly he still supports Lulu.

Jason visits Lucky at rehab. Lucky tells him that a part of recovery is making amends to the people you hurt, and Jason is on his list. Lucky tells him that he resented him for killing Manny and that he should have never tried to frame him. Jason graciously tells him that he's getting the help that he needs and they can all move on. Lucky apologizes profusely and thanks him for being such a good friend to him, and to Elizabeth. He tells Jason that he is glad that Liz has had him to turn to. Jason offers his forgiveness and they move on to lighter subjects, like the fact the Ric paid Lucky a little visit earlier.

At the restaurant, Elizabeth tells Ric that her situation isn't that dire. She says that she has good medical insurance & maternity leave and a good support system with her Gram, Emily & Nicolas. She tells him to focus on Alexis. He confides in Elizabeth that he wonders if Alexis even needs him – she's so independent. “You, on the other hand, I can help. You got pregnant by a man you can't depend on.” He then tells her that she can rely on him.

After Jax and Carly arrange for a different prescription to help with her nausea, Alexis says she needs a distraction. So Jax finally gets to ask her to be the best person at his wedding. She asks if she can make a toast while running to the bathroom to throw up. She starts to cry and that's when Sam comes home. Jax jumps down her throat for not being around when Alex had the bad reaction to the chemo.

Dillon tells Georgie to stop changing the salt and pepper shakers and pay attention to him. She admits that she hates how much he defends Lulu. She reminded him the Lulu isn't much different from Maxi in that she lied and deceived her way into a pregnancy. Dillon says that just because he defends Lulu, doesn't mean that he wants to be with her. Georgie asks him if he's sure.

Maxi shows up at rehab and begs Lucky to let her in. She acts all upset (and innocent!) about the Quartermaines and Mac and everyone who knows about their baby. She tells him that she loves the baby with all of her heart and wants to know if he will too. He says that he hopes to work out some kind of custody arrangement. He says he knows he was pretty out of it when they were together, but he's pretty sure he used protection. She cries and tells him she needs him, she weasels her way into his arms and clings to him. Lulu shows up and tells her to get away from her brother, you s**t!

Sam rushes to Alexis's side to make sure she's okay, and everyone cools off. Alexis says she needs to talk to Jax alone, so Carly and Sam go outside. Alexis tells Jax to stop being so afraid, that she will survive this. On the porch, Sam feels badly about being with Jason instead of her mother. Carly tells her that Alexis can hire a nurse; she needs to be with Jason before Elizabeth uses the baby to steal him away.

Elizabeth visits Jason and before he gets a chance to ask what she's doing there, she rushes over to the stereo, turns on some music and tells him that she needs to dance with him right now. When he gets close to her, she whispers that his penthouse has been bugged. Jason assures her that Stan swept the whole penthouse and she can talk freely. So Elizabeth tells him that she's pretty sure Ric knows that he could be the father of her baby.

Jax tells Alexis that her so-called husband should be there to help her. Alexis admits that right now, she's better off when he's not around. Jax wants to know what that means.

NEXT ON GH:

Carly tells Ric that he should just pay attention to his wife.

Alexis talks to Jax about the state of her marriage.

Nicolas asks Sonny, “What exactly has Ric done?”

That seen with jason and Sam sucked it was like for five minutes. It was pretty funny when Elizabeth asked JAson to dance with her.

Both the character of Elizabeth and the character of Sam has changed drastically since each character has come onto the show. They both had fire and were independent, not needing a man to validate who they were. The writers are making a very big mistake with these two characters. It has to be a man writing this terrible story! Give these two ladies back their fire! We are tired of seeing both of them, either crying or whining! STOP THE MADNESS!!

Exactly - We need to remember that the charaters do not write the script and stop blaming them for the direction the characters are taking (good or bad). The writers write the scripts and it is up to the actor to intrupretf the role/scene to the best of his/her abilities. We can say that we don't like a character's changes or whatever but we need to place the blame where it really belongs - with THE POWERS THAT BE. Writer, directors, producers, etc...

well first of all I couldn't watch gh today because we had a little technical problem..so I looked at the daily updates...So for shure tomorrow i'll be able to watch it.
Im happy that sam and jason had a chat...I guess there willing to give it a try ..but it seems like nothing good happened more then 5 minutes..so that's sad...hopefully something good will happened nex between them...I've been waiting for so long for them to go back together..Hope that alexis is not going to give her a hard time ...she'll eventually know..But im happy for them jasam love 4 ever ... And im surprised that rick didn't tell lucky about jason and liz...thank god ..but in a other point of view maybe if he knew shit would hit the fan and liz would be stress and loose the baby...And as for miss liz...they scared me when they said that liz ask jason to dance ..thank god it was just because she was afraid they herd her saying that rick knows about liz's baby....I though for a minute they were getting closer......thank god ...back off liz he's sam's man ....get a life and work shit out with your own man .. And im kind of happy for jax and carly ..but i wonder how long is it going to last before she wants sonny back lol.....And for alexis to be at the wedding i d'ont think that that would be a good idea just cuz jason is going to be the best man..and what is he goes with sam....And yah rick doesn't care about his wife he's never with her maybe he should start takiing care of her instead of taking care of buisness... Jax has no wright to ask sam why she's not with her mom....like come on man alexis is a bitch to her ....controling her life like she's not old enough to know what she does...I think if laura turns out to be her real mom ..well maybe she'll have more respect than alexis.....Im happy that patrick is back ..he's cute and he and robin are cute together too....

Sam was independent and on her own when she first came onto the show but then she started to live with Jason and fall in love with him and started to depend on him more. I don't blame the writers for that because it makes sense. She needed someone like that in her life that she could depend on. I think her crying all the time and being emotional gives the show drama and my philosophy is: DRAMA gotta love it!!!

i,m glad that jason and sam are back together now let elizabeths baby be lucky,s and put them back together they belong to gether like jason ans sam.

It's great that Sam and Jason are back together. Its the only relationship thats seems more real then any other in the soap and its nice to have that around cause sometimes thats really what keeps it real to many of us. In one way its a relationship that you can only wish to have one day. Someone who you can really connect too like those two have but at the same time one who has realistic problems. I'm glad those two are back they make the soap so much more interesting.

At first when i saw jason and sam 2gether i just wanted to puke. But things got better when i saw carlie telling sam what to do about jason and elizabeth(GOOD MOVE CARLIE) sam is going to blow the whole thing listening to carlie(LOOK AT CARLIE'S PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIPS)Sam is such a drama queen that she don't need the baby to be jason because listening to carlie is going to drive her into overjealousy mode and then that is when she is going to cause liz to lose the baby and jason will blame her 4ever(LOVE IT)On the other hand i hope jason and liz will become a couple instead of the jasam thing(UH UH UH UH!!!!!!!) This is just my opion and how i feel about the whole ordeal.I hope the writers spice it up just the way i like it HOTTTTTTTTTT! Jason is shownuff going to be protecting liz after she told him about his worst enemy ric and sam's true identity will come forth when her heads spins around three times when she encounters jaliz talking and spending time 2gether SWEET!

Rumor has it that Sam will ask if she and Jason could raise the baby if it's Jason's. She's thinking that Liz will agree because Liz was going to be a surrogate for Jax and Courtney at one time. I think Sam is secretly taking drugs, cause this a different situation. This baby is actually Liz's. She isn't going to give up her own child.

Hey, could I be wrong, I don't think I saw Sam cry at all yesterday. She must be dehydrated or something.
