I Rest My Case.

Thursday, October 01 2009
Molly has some tough questions for Sonny, Claudia taunts Dante and Olivia, Michael confronts Claudia, Kiefer gets rough with Kristina, Helena warns Luke and Olivia worries Claudia knows the truth.


Alexis doesn’t doubt how much Sonny loves his children, but he’s dangerous. Sonny just wants to be a good father and hopes he’s not too late. Alexis wonders what he will tell his daughter about what he does for a living and Sonny reminds her she’s done some questionable things in her life as well and he keeps his personal and professional lives separate. She reminds him about how he dealt with Kiefer and the country club manager and points out he’s asking a lot from Kristina by having her love him even though he’s a criminal. Sonny won’t withhold his attention because if she doesn’t get it from him she will get it somewhere else. Molly comes to the house for help from Sonny on a paper she is doing on the judicial branch of the government and wants to interview a real criminal. She asks him what it feels like to be arrested and what’s the worst crime he’s gotten away with. Sonny can only say he’s never been convicted of anything. Molly wonders if he was innocent or if he had a really smart lawyer. Alexis says she can answer her questions, but Molly needs a primary source. Sonny tells her he has cookies in the kitchen for her and she thinks maybe she can talk to Jason instead and leaves the room. Alexis says if this were court, this would be where she rests her case.



Kristina and Kiefer make out in her bedroom and start to take their clothes off as they lay on the bed. When things go too far, Kristina stops him and Kiefer gets mad. He wants to know what’s going on with her and she tells him she saw Sonny and doesn’t think he cares about her. Kiefer cares and worries about her. Kristina wants to go somewhere else so they can be together. He asks if she’s sure it’s what she wants and says there is no big rush. Kristina assures him he isn’t pushing her and Kiefer says he can set something up. Sam comes to the room and wonders what Kiefer is doing there. Kiefer apologizes for the misunderstanding and says Ms. Davis can call him if there are any questions about what happened. He leaves and Sam says he is smooth and asks if Kristina is having sex with him.



Jason comes to see how Michael is doing and Carly tells him he has remembered something. Michael makes something up and leaves the room. Carly thinks Michael is protecting someone and Jason says he will tell her when he wants her to know. He urges her to give him some space, but Carly is worried about her son. She wants to know if this has something to do with the day she found him and Sam in Jax’s office, but Jason tells her to let it go and to trust him. The baby starts to kick and she puts Jason’s hand on her belly.



At the Metro Court, Claudia sees Olivia and needles her about the carnival and her concern for Dominic in front of him. Dominic stops her and tells her not to use him in order to get one over on Ms. Falconeri. Olivia says she can fight her own battles and Dominic says this is between him and Claudia. Olivia instructs them to keep their matters out of the hotel and walks away. Dominic orders Claudia to leave Olivia alone and she wonders why he is so concerned. She says, “It makes me wonder.” She leaves and Dante calls someone saying they have trouble.


As Luke tries to free himself, a mystery person unlocks his cell and walks away. Luke opens the door and cautiously leaves as a mysterious figure appears.

Confined to her bed, Helena is afraid, but the woman tells her she is safe and in her own home.

Jason meets Johnny at their new office and asks what he knows about the leak in their organization. Sonny walks in and Johnny says he’s not the leak, but Sonny doesn’t believe him. Johnny leaves and Jason says Johnny didn’t do it, but they need to find out who is working against them right now.


Luke finds Helena in her bed and asks what’s going on. She breathlessly tells him to be watchful and he grabs her hands feeling how cold they are. She says, “Danger. Cassadine.” Luke checks her weak pulse and feels her forehead and realizes she’s not faking it. She tells him both their families are in danger because someone wants revenge and then someone knocks Luke out.



Kristina tells Sam what she does is none of her business, but Sam isn’t passing judgment, she is just looking out for her. She asks if Kiefer is pressuring her to have sex and Kristina says no. Sam talks to her about birth control and STDs and begs her to have Kiefer use a condom. Kristina asks if she’s finished and walks out.


Alexis visits Carly to see if they can work together to create a united front in regards to Sonny and their kids. Carly wishes they could, but thinks the kids need to be with their father.


Olivia summons Kate to her place worried Claudia knows about Dante. Kate thinks if she knows, she probably doesn’t want Sonny to know Dante is his son. Olivia doesn't know how she is going to protect Dante and Kate advises her cousin to tell Sonny the truth. Olivia says that’s the last resort. Kate thinks when the time is right Olivia will handle Claudia and then Johnny walks in.


Dante comes to the restaurant Jason and Sonny’s new office is in and tells an employee he intends to spend a lot of time there.


At home, Claudia writes Dominic and Dante’s names on a piece of paper and then throws it in the fire. Michael comes to see her and tells her he remembered her saying it was her fault he got shot while he was in a coma.



Kristina meets Kiefer in a hotel room and he kisses her. She’s nervous, but he promises to take care of her. When he kisses her harder, she pushes him away and he angrily grabs her.


Next on General Hospital:

Claudia tells Olivia she knows about Dante.

Sonny has a job for Dominic.

Kristina turns to Sam for help.

Great episode. I wonder what excuse Claudia's gonna make up this time!

Posted by diansct at Thursday, October 01 2009 01:41 PM

I am sick to death of watching Jason take care of everybodys else's kids but his.

Alexis is on my last nerve. She married Ric (a mobster wannbe) and she was sleeping with Jerry (certified sociopath) and didn't hesitate to use Jerry's voilent tendencies when AZ was threatening Kristina (instead of telling a much more reliable and rational, although criminal, Jason). So where, exactly, does Alexis get off passing judgment on Sonny as a parent? I mean, Sonny's so far from perfect it's not funny, but Alexis (who's denial about Kristina is deeper than the Grand Canyon) is no prize either!

Boy, if (hopefully when) Alexis finally realizes how screwed up Kristina is because Alexis kept her away from her father, I wonder if she'll be woman enough to own up to it or if she'll just find some way to blame that on Sonny (or someone else) too?

All you feministas can have a field day jumping on me and sticking pins in my post (metaphorically speaking) but I am starting to feel sympathy for Kiefer with that little tease playing the yes yes! no no we mustn’t! game. I know that he is older, but she is playing with fire leading him on. If she gets what is coming to her, don’t expect any sympathy from me.

Olivia needs to call in Sony and Dante and give them the truth. No more beating around the bush. Pay attention writers! Yesterday Kate commented that Dante was about to arrest his father. She does not know what case he is working on. All she knows is that Dante is a cop, and if he is using a pseudonym then he must be undercover.

I agree with the poster who thinks Olivia's character may be based on My Cousin Vinny's girlfriend. The same smart mouth take no bull from anyone. Kate has her moments too. "Get lost Claudia, we don't want to play with you".

Loved Molly's grilling of Sonny. Maybe he will begin to realize how his children see him.

I would like to know what really happened with Greg Vaughan. On the face of it, it seems a sneaky underhand way of replacing him, which is why I would love to know more. The morale must be really low on the set these days. Something to remember is that the actors have to do what the script tells them to do. If a character gets on your last nerve or seems like a sap, writing to the blogs and boards blaming the actor does not help them very much. They are very dependent on a faithful fan base, which is why I prefer the characters to be multi dimensional, which Claudia the vixen and Lucky the dope have not been.

Ringleader, your nightmare description of yourself made me laugh and touched a nerve. I was warned that I would be back to watching soap operas when I retired, and could not believe it. Well it takes me about two hours a day just to get through the posts on this board. Despite a recorder and ABC online, my day is scheduled around my 3 pm break for GH. I need help!

I guess things have changed a lot since the 60’s. I had a close friend who “got into trouble” and was packed off to a Catholic home for unmarried mothers where the girls were treated like sinners and fallen women. No anesthetics during delivery, just a sprinkling of holy water and prayers. They had to stay in the home with the babies until the child was adopted. There was no option to keep the child. My friend’s child was adopted by a couple in the USA, and as we now know, money would have changed hands. It was such a BIG family shame that I did not find out myself for many, many years. Two other girls I knew were never spoken to again by their mothers. As you said, lots of prayers, but the forgiveness part seems to have been forgotten.

Ring, Alexis will think of a way to blame Sonny and Sam for Kristina being screwed up. That is just how she is, but she does it in a entertaining way. In her world she can't do anything wrong neither can Kristina or Nicholas. Hey, she is a Cassadine after all and they are ALL screwed up! But that is why I adore her!

Does anyone else besides me find it funny how Claudia is playing cat and mouse with Olivia? Love those two characters (Claudia only b/c of SJB) and would like to see how this plays out.

Want to see how what Claudia is going to tell Michael. I think that she will be honest with him and he will keep her secret because he doesn't want Jason to kill her. But hey, it's soapland and you never know. Okay, enough of my rambling...

Loved, loved, loved carly and Jason of course I always do!
wonder what jax will say to having jason the godfather of the baby, he he should be interesting.

cant believe Im going to say this but I enjoyed claudia today, she certainly made olivia squirm, huh, he he he still want her to get caught.

It was good to see luke I hope they have a great spencer/cassadine s/l coming up, too bad GV wont be the one to play it, he would have been fantastic.

Molly you go girl, she is so funny "I want to interview a real criminal, what's the worst crime sonny ever got away with?" I think it would be a shorter list to ask what hasnt he gotten away with. The look on alexis and sonny's face priceless.

Big girls don’t cry but Kristina surely will by the time all is said and done. Because as sure as the sun rises in the east Keifer is going to get tired of this hot and cold routine she keeps playing. Then it will be let the slaps begin.

I love to hear Luke talk about snapping Helena’s neck. He always makes it sound so poetic.

I haven't watched today's show yet. I just read what happened and the comments so far and Ihave to agree with the people who say that Alexis is wrong in the way that she is handling things with Sonny and Kristina. Like I said yesterday, Alexis has to STOP being such a hypocrit. She hangs out with criminals and has affairs with them besides Sonny. Sonny is wrong. There is no doubt about that. So is Alexis. She is bringing just as much danger to Kristina as her father. She was involved with Ric and Jerry like so many people have already pointed out. Alexis needs to pay attention to Keifer. He is hurting Kristina. If Alexis is such a paragon of motherhood, why isn't she paying more attention to that. Sam and Sonny are doing better than Alexis at this point as far as Keifer is concerned. I have to say that Claudia is a loose cannon as far as Dante is concerned. I am loving the fact that two secrets are about to explode. Dante's paternity and the fact that Claudia was responsible for Micheal's shooting. I think that Alexis and Olivia are good mother and I think that they are bad mothers. They both slept with Sonny and tried to keep his kids from him. They should but they shouldn't. Sonny is dangerous, but he is a good and loving father who isn't perfect. Alexis and Olivia need to get off their high horses and admit that they aren't perfect. Let me kno what you think. More on Monday. Have a nice weekend.

Hi everyone..That Molly is so darn cute interviewing Uncle Sonny.
Cynic..I can understand what you are saying and many teen age girls tease the guys but really don't want to go all the way. Kristina just wants attention and this time might turn out badly for her if he decides to rape her. I hope she goes to Sam for help.
Ok I want the scoop please on this actor Lucky...is it he who wants to leave the show or they want the first Lucky back and are just letting this one go?
So happy Luke is back..Tis should be a good storyline with Lulu and Ethan in it.
Olivia should beat Claudia and tell Sonny the truth.

TipsyTess I think THEY are letting him go so Jonathan can come back; lol as far as im concerned it's not right;
