Jason and Michael Get the Goods on Claudia.

Friday, October 23 2009
Jason finds the proof he was looking for, Michael remembers, Kate runs into Dante at Jake’s and Sonny is grateful for Claudia.

As Michael and Jax talk about Sonny’s degree of fault in his shooting, Carly comes in with a gift sent from Lady Jane. Carly gets in on the conversation and tells her son she only blames the man who pulled the trigger and he’s already dead.


Claudia comes in after Sonny has a nightmare about Michael’s shooting. He tells her after he has a good night, the guilt sets in and he relives every second of his son just lying on the ground, gone. Claudia tries to make him feel better, but he owns his guilt and carries it with him. He knows he can’t be so smug as to justify who he is, so when he starts to feel the power, he remembers his part in Michael’s shooting and he doesn’t feel good about himself anymore – as it should be. Claudia tells him he has to find a way to deal with it because Michael wants to move on, but can’t if his father is beating himself up every day. It breaks her heart to watch him miss out on valuable moments because he can’t get over what happened. His kids love him and accept him and he needs to find peace in himself and love them back.



Johnny hides as Kate comes to see Olivia. Kate tells her cousin to deal with her secret or someone will end up dead. The cousins bicker about whether or not Olivia should tell the truth about Dante. Kate thinks she is just afraid that Dante and Sonny will look at her differently if they find out.



Outside at Kelly’s, Dominic tells Lulu that when he was fourteen he asked around the neighborhood to find out who the guys were that his mother was involved with and one was dead and he tailed another one of the other ones. He discovered that guy had a family with kids, so he left him alone because there was no room for him. He thinks if it wasn’t that particular guy, it would be someone like him, so he put it down and never looked back. Lulu thinks he might be deeper than she thought, but thinks she should leave before she becomes too impressed.



Jason believes he heard Claudia’s voice on Ian’s recording, but Spinelli says there isn’t enough of the voice to determine it is Claudia. Sam looks on as Jason says he wants him to do what he has to in order to make it Claudia’s voice, but Spinelli won’t manufacture evidence and thinks Jason’s hatred for Claudia is clouding his judgment. When Spinelli says he won’t frame Claudia, Jason yells at him to leave. After Spinelli complies, Jason apologizes to Sam, but she thinks he's angry because Spinelli might be right.


Kristina comes to Kelly’s looking for Kiefer and asks Dominic, who is still sitting outside, if he’s seen him. He hasn’t and she asks him if guys would do anything just to have sex and once they do, they forget about you.

Jason and Sam come to the hospital to meet with Robin and Patrick who tell them they didn’t find anything questionable in Ian’s files. Jason wants to look for himself, but Robin says they can’t ignore patients’ rights and allow him to violate their privacy. Jason just wants proof and Robin thinks the answers he wants might not be there. Epiphany comes in and tells them maintenance is cleaning out the lost and found and they should grab anything they think might be theirs. Jason wonders where Ian’s stuff from his locker is.

The foursome go to the lost and found and Jason and Sam find a duffle bag just like the one in the basement, which contains CDs. They leave and Patrick finds his t-shirt that Robin hates from his life when he was a cad. He assures Robin he is no longer that guy and offers to throw it away, but Robin doesn’t want him to do that. She says when she thinks of him with other women she wants to rip their eyes out of their heads. Patrick assures her there is no one else for him but her. They talk about whether or not they should go to the cops with what they know about Jason and Claudia.


Dominic and Kristina go inside Kelly’s and he tells her there are guys who will dump a girl after sex, but those guys aren’t worth the gum on her shoe and guys like him pound those guys into the ground. Kristina doesn't want him to do that and Dominic gets uncomfortable talking about sex with her. He asks if she needs a ride home, but she says she’ll text her brother and who knows, maybe Kiefer will show up.



Kate comes to Jake’s, much to Coleman’s delight and asks for a beer with a shot of whiskey. Coleman asks what she’s upset about and she talks about work and then says someone she loves is hell bent on destroying herself and the people around her. Kate wants to blow the secret wide open, but there would be too much damage.



Dante walks in Jake’s and Kate goes to talk to him. He wants her to go away, but she insists he will listen to what she has to say. She wants him to quit his case because he will never bust Sonny. Dante doesn’t think he is above the law, but Kate tells him he can’t be the one to put him out of business and she will tell him why.



Jason and Sam come back to the penthouse to look through Ian’s things and Sam wonders if this is about avenging Michael or getting Claudia. Jason puts a CD in the laptop and they hear Jerry and Ian talking to Claudia about the hit on Sonny. Sam says, “Oh my God Jason, you were right. It was Claudia.”



Michael comes to Kelly’s and sits with Kristina. Kristina learns Sonny is out of the country and is upset she didn’t know. Michael didn’t know either and says Sonny loves all of them and wonders if she would have preferred to grow up like she did, not seeing much of Sonny, or take a bullet in the brain. He wonders if it would have been better if he died and remembers Jerry saying Claudia did this to him. Michael knows this is a real memory and Kristina wonders what he is going to do about it.


The associate from the club comes to Sonny and Claudia’s room to assure them there will be no more trouble and Mo, the man who pulled the gun on them, met with an accident. After the man leaves, Sonny thanks Claudia for her help, but wants to go home so he can throw the party for her to show how lucky he is to have her by his side.

The camera pans over the C077X loft where Jason’s mug shot is, along with his name repeatedly written over and over.

Next on General Hospital:

Michael tells Johnny he knows Claudia is responsible for his shooting.

Kiefer pressures Kristina again.

Patrick wrestles with what to do.

I'm glad Jason is going after claudia it's about time someone did!

Wonder how claudia will leave the scene? maybe Jerry will come back and blow her up, that's always entertaining, but with GH they'll probably mess that up too!
Still love SB and will maybe check her out on B&B.

I always enjoy carly and michael scenes together, their bond has always been special.

Wonder what carly will say or do when she finds out claudia ordered that hit, bet she will change her mind about blaming only devlin, huh.

I'm really looking forward to next week. Hated that Jason kicked Spinelli out, hope he won't the one that will actually kill Claudia. I'm kinda sad Claudia will be leaving, but I'll be really glad when they wrap up this storyline and have Jasam focus on other things.
Loved that Kate and her gorgeous fashion was on today, although I didn't like the fact that it was to enhance Olivia's storyline (The secret needs to come out already).
Kristina and Dante convo was nice, I love how sweet he is. I hope all this talk about how Patrick is really content with his life, and doesn't care about his old ways will not lead to a Scrubs cheating storyline.
The end scene with the mugshot of Jason had me intrigued...I can't WAIT for it to unravel.

I still think Dante knows that his father is Sonny. I think Sonny will get Claudia pregnant before they send her off, then she'll be able to come back or a child will return in Sonny's life; mean like the AZ.
I saw a comment about Carly's baby being Sonny's. When could that have happened; did I miss something??

I CANT STAND CLAUDIA. SHE NEEDS TOGO ALREADY..LOVES JASON AND SAM HE IS SOO HOT!!! CANT WAIT FOR MICHAEL OR JASON TO COME OUT AND LET EVERYONE ESPICALLY SONNY KNOW WHAT CLAUDIA DID!!! EXCITED

November 5th is Claudia's last day on General Hospital. It won't be long now...

It was raining a lot here in Roseville, Michigan! I had to ride the bus home from school in the rain. Just awful.

Have a great weekend everyone! Halloween is around the corner! Mwahahahahaha!

Something smells really fishy around Jason's raging vendetta against Claudia. It is as if he wants her eliminated in order to cover up something he did. I was glad that Spinelli grew a pair and set him straight. He assessed the situation correctly. The voice of common sense. Maybe Olivia should take her dilemma to Spin, followed by Kristina.

I just split my sides when Kate changed her white wine order to beer with a whiskey. It appears that when you order liquor at Jakes you get the bottle, and Kate was getting stuck in tonight. Glad to see her back with Coleman and I love her idea of a makeover for him. If what he has now is the makeover, I'd love to see what he used to be like! Perhaps he could replace Johnny as the Crimson man. I think he and Kate go well together - the bad boy pulling her back to her true roots.

Kiefer is really behaving badly. Next thing he will be taking bets with his buddies to see who can have Kristina next (after bragging around town).

Hi everyone,
I'm posting early today, because my husband is finishing his thirty-six hour rotation and I thought I would surprise him with his favorite meal-his granmother's lasagna. This requires that I make meatballs and sauce. I burnt my first batch of meatballs while watching GH--smoke alarm went off, my seventy five pound podle went galloping upstairs into the nursery and started frantically barking, the twins woke up crying and I missed the call from the alarm company--they in return, called the police and fire departments. Fortunately the police were able to stop the fire truck. I made a mental note to myself: make sure to bake Christmas/Hanukkah cookies for all my neighbors!

I love Jason but thought he was being too hard on Spenelli and wished he wasn't so obsessed with Claudia, though I believe it was alli who made an excellent comment--that he is doing it because Claudia can't be trusted and is considered a threat to all the people that he cares about.

Well I will have to catch-up on Monday; because of my little smoke incident I missed the rest of the show. I also want to add that I have really enjoyed reading everyones comments and look forward to hearing your inputs on the show,books you're reading,etc. So many of you have been watching GH for many years and know the characters well. My husband will often ask-how was Criminal Hospital today (his name for it) and did I post with the girls.

Welcome new posters--Pumpkin Girl, Splenda and Naijammy.

Hope everyone has a great weekend--I'm going to try and finish the twins Halloween costumes and try not to burn the house down.

I will have to watch the show again, but wasn't Johnny still in the bedroom while Kate and Olivia were arguing at the top of their voices about Dante? Johnny does not know yet that Dominic is Dante, but by now he will have overheard that Dante is Sonny's son, if he didn't then he needs to get his hearing checked.

Posted by magrat at Friday, October 23 2009 03:42 PM

I just pushed the wrong key and lost my really perceptive post.lol So I guess I'll just post this one.

Anyway, Cynic, I thought about Johnny in the next room, too. But maybe he went down the fire escape? I loved Kate telling Olivia that she was being selfish, not because I dislike Olivia but because she needs to think about it.

Loved Kate and Coleman together today, especially when he told her "this is the makeover." So many possibilities here for some good, sexy fun.

Dante was so good with Kristina; it's important for her to heat that sex is important.

Can't wait till Mon.

Patrick will probably warn Claudia and she will just disappear...he cant stand the thought he may be responsible for her death by helping Jason..Glad Jason was firm with Spinelli today..Spinelli is paid well to do a job..not offer his advice or opinions as once again he is proved wrong..who can argue with Jason's street smarts and gut feelings? I hope Kate tell Dom the truth..
