Wednesday, June 24 2009
Michael wants to get in the family business, Robin and Patrick confront the mayor and Sam worries about Kristina, who runs into Dominic.


At the hospital, Robin and Patrick tell Epiphany they think Brianna was murdered. Andrea comes up to them and says she is afraid if the lawsuit goes forward, her husband’s career won’t survive the scandal. Robin thinks most scorned women wouldn’t be so concerned about it, but Andrea tells them she once had her own goals, but gave them up for her husband’s. Patrick is more concerned about his and Matt’s career.



Sam meets Kristina at her house to talk to her about her recent actions. Kristina tries to defend herself, but Sam thinks she is crying out for attention. Kristina thinks she is overreacting and Alexis walks in, informing Sam of Kristina’s latest stint at Jake’s. Alexis thinks it’s admirable that she is so worried about her brother, but fears Kristina will get caught in the crossfire with Michael and tells her to keep her eye on the prize because she has too much to lose.



Michael tells Jason about the guy who attacked them and offers to help take care of him, as Claudia overhears. Jason won’t let him get involved, but Michael wants to prove himself. Michael thinks being in the business is part of his heritage and wants to learn it, but Jason refuses him. Michael is disappointed and says Jason is just like the rest of them.



Claudia goes upstairs to where she is hiding her hitman named Dominic. She puts a pillow over his face, but he fights back. He asks if she’s trying to shut him up or kill him. She says, “Whatever comes first.” He tells Claudia about what happened with Carly and she asks why Jason didn’t die last night. He tells her Johnny pushed Jason out of the line of fire and asks whose side Johnny is on.


Matt lashes out at Epiphany when she tells him all his files regarding Brianna Hughes are being confiscated and his office is locked. Maxie listens in and Matt storms off.


Toussaint catches Maxie trying to break into Matt’s office. Matt returns as Maxie spins a story explaining why she's there. Toussaint says the office is closed until certain files are obtained.



Patrick and Robin go to the mayor’s office, who isn’t receptive to them. Patrick says they want to find out what really caused Brianna’s head injuries. Patrick tells him Brianna’s injury doesn’t match his story and he’s shocked to learn Brianna suffered two blows to the head. Patrick supposes the mayor wanted her death to look like an accident. The mayor insists he was in love with Brianna, so he couldn’t have killed her. He explains how he was disillusioned after getting into politics and his marriage was grounded in mutual ambition, but that fell flat for him too. He says he was going to leave Andrea for Brianna and if she was murdered, he wants to know who did it.


Claudia goes to Johnny and angrily wonders why he saved Jason’s life. Johnny retorts Sonny would have been suspicious had he returned alive when Jason didn’t. He also says Jason vouched for him in front of Sonny and tells her to deal with the fact that they are both Corinthos soldiers for the foreseeable future.


Jason and Sam meet at his place and she tells him about Kristina. She says Kristina is acting out because of Alexis’ pressure and that, combined with Michael’s problems, spells disaster. Jason worries about Michael’s identity search and tells her how Michael approached him like he approached Sonny years ago. He feels like a hypocrite, but Sam thinks it’s understandable he wants to give Michael other options. She thinks Michael will eventually come around and see that Jason is looking out for him.



Kristina goes to see Michael after taking Alexis’ other car and apologizes for leaving him to hold the bag over the Jake’s incident. Michael understands and tells her about his run in with Dominic and how he wanted to get into Sonny’s business. As they talk, they hear Alexis walk in the house. Kristina runs upstairs and Alexis walks in and asks Michael to talk. She wants him to know she cares about him and appreciates how much he’s struggling, but she was upset that he was in a bar with her daughter. Michael says it won’t happen again, as Claudia approaches the door and listens in. Michael takes offense to Alexis wanting Kristina to stay away from him and Claudia walks in, shooing Michael out so she can take care of Alexis. Alexis tells Claudia she won’t take care of her or her daughter and if she thinks otherwise she is mistaken. Claudia warns Alexis sheltered daughters turn out to be the wildest and thinks Alexis shouldn’t shut her out of Sonny’s life. Alexis doesn’t want her daughter hanging around any house with her in it.


Matt apologizes to Maxie for what happened at Jake’s and asks why she is trying to break into his office. She tells him she doesn’t think he’s at fault for Brianna’s death and he assumes they are making progress on a personal level. Maxie tells him she’s not interested in him, but he thinks she should get to know something about him first before she blows him off. He tells her to follow him on Twitter and she says that’s all she’ll do.

Toussaint runs into Epiphany at the hub and he tells her the tour was a little rough on him because there weren’t as many fans as before, but he won’t give up.

Ric tells Andrea to let the lawsuit go through and if it is proven Garrett killed his mistress, so be it. Andrea, however, can't do that and won't be held back by a tawdry indiscretion.


Michael goes to see Johnny at the garage and says he wants to learn Sonny’s business from him. Johnny doesn’t understand why he would want this and tries to convince him to find another line of work. He tells Michael he won’t be the reason he gets shot again and Jason walks in asking, “What do you mean, again?



Back at the hospital, Patrick says he believed the mayor, but Robin isn’t so sure. They overhear Andrea yelling at Matt accusing him of killing Brianna and therefore ruining her husband’s career.



As she tries to hide, Kristina runs into a room and finds Dominic.


Next on General Hospital:

Sonny and Michael get into a serious fight.

Claudia finds Kristina and Dominic together.

Patrick and Matt hire Ric to represent them.

wow today was really great. i am so glad gh is getting better. Dominic is cute. i like him and claudia together.
I loved that claudia stuck up for michael today. i loved seeing alexis with her girls. i also loved matt and maxie and scrubs

I was glad Alexis stood up to that bully Claudia. I don't blame Alexis for not wanting her daughter to go to their house. Then Claudia has the nerve to say that Sonny should be apart of his daugher's life, because every girl needs their father or something like that. Well, we can all see what Claudia's father has done for her.

And Claudia is not sticking up for Michael, she is trying to cover her own butt. Because she knows that Michael is getting his memory back and can identify her in his room and remember what she said about being responsible for his shooting. She could care less about Michael.

I wonder is Claudia was sheltered because she certainly is wild. So she would know about that.

I'm a first time poster but I have been reading the comments everday for about 2 years...poor Michael but I knew before they aged him he was going the way of mob..and to go to his Uncle Jason and ask him to teach him the way of the mafia was in the cards..it was just like Jason going to Sonny all those years ago.
Glad there was no Carly.
Claudia wasn't that bad today...but she still is singing that same tired song...
Johnny is the only one in the family that has a lick of sense and isn't manic or bi-polar.
The mayor s/l is moving right along..
Thank heavens no Nik/Rebecca!!
Please get Kristina some help I feel a Dominic love s/l coming soon.
More JaSam!!

OMG-WTH-Oh where to begin. I like Sam, Sam I am. Sam is great gimme the chocolate cake! She is very levelheaded. Alexis-not a very observant mother or realistic one either. But man can she stand up for herself with class. Way to go! Kristina and the killer. What is all the violence on the show with kids. It's alarming. Alexis is right to keep Kristina away from Sonny's house. But she obviously needs her dad. Not to mention that Alexis had every right to talk to Michael-he blew it out of control-what else is new. Claudia had some nerve thinking she could control or intimidate the DA. That chick is nuts. (LOVE THE ACTRESS/HATE THE CHARACTER!)!

Maxie darling you looked lovely today in red. I did like her interaction with Matt. By the way, I think he looked HOT. I liked his hair. I really felt for Matt today, it's like his world is crumbling over something that is clearly not his fault. He worked really hard to become a doctor. You could hear the pain, anger, hurt and disbelief. Great acting! Great writing. Great emotion! Way to stand up to the Mayors wife Patrick! She has a lot of nerve thinking he is supposed to role over for her because her man couldn't keep it in her pants. Do they really want a Mayor would be Governor like that in office? Don't we see enough of that in real life?

Claudia is like the creature from the black lagoon. Could not believe she tried to smuther Dominic (who is also hot with great hair and loved his tatoos. The girl is pregnant for crying out loud. Shame on her, just another reason she should not have the baby. She never thinks things through. She almost seemed to bust a gut when he said he would turn her in to Sonny if she tried to turn him in to Sonny. Really?! How could she be so Stupid! So glad Johnny stood up to his horrid big sis! Can't get enough of it. Keep it coming. Michael-your craziness is showing. Get a clue, buy a clue, borrow a clue! (He really is a good actor!!!) And hearing him and Kristine discussing the family business was insane!

dat76543gril, I agree with you about no Emily and Nikolas. I'm so sick of them. Nikolas needs to see a shrink. I was glad when Emily was off the show, then they bring her back as a twin.

great_show, I read your comment from the other day about Nicholas and Nadine. It was very funny. Never thought of that but I agree. Not watching the show much at all but reading the recaps and comments. The only good thing I can say is I'm starting to like Carly's hair.

Posted by dat76543girl at Wednesday, June 24 2009 03:18 PM

cowboys fan..i know this this is a nono..but you crack me up on the the forums for all the shows...and you are right if there was a purpose for bringing the Becky s/l to the show they need to hurry and get to it..cause for all of this they could of left the country girl Nadine on the show...

Posted by luvinitall at Wednesday, June 24 2009 03:29 PM

ok, i haven't posted in a while, but today i just gotta. first, i like alexis, but she really needs to have her eyes opened to her daughter. alexis is a smart, classy lady, and they have really dumbed her down. kristina is just a little bit to big for those britches.

i'm really not a huge claudia fan either, but today i was so glad to see her standing up to alexis and i really do think she was sincere when she jumped in and denfended michael. i know she is sorta kinda the reason that he got shot, but she didn't mean for it to happen and i think she really does like the kid.

it would be pretty hard to not see it coming that michael would want into the business. he has always been so close to jason and sonny that of course he would want to follow in their footsteps, and johnny of all people should know how hard it is going to be for him to do anything else with his last name. i don't really agree with him going into this soon as young as he is and in his present condition, but really who didn't see that coming?

i am really bored with this whole mayor thing. and what is up with epiphany? its like she is cheif of staff stopping matt from going into his office like she was somebody. i really like her though! hope they get her a man and a real storyline real soon.

last but not least, jasam. gosh it is good to see them working together, not just on a case but also with michael and kristina. i really hope that they can help those kids, lord knows they need someone to help them.

i'm sure i've forgotten something but that is all that i can think of right now. have a great day everyone!
