Claudia’s Time is Running Out.

Monday, October 26 2009
Michael warns Johnny, Jason wonders what he should do about Claudia, Robin and Patrick discuss their responsibilities and Sonny and Claudia hit some turbulence.


Olivia stops Kate before she can tell Dante he is Sonny’s son at Jake’s. Dante tells his mother they have to shut Kate up, but Kate thinks she is his only hope and it’s her obligation to do what’s right for both of them.



Jason gets antsy and twitchy as he asks Sam what she thinks about the CD of Claudia. Sam thinks Claudia is definitely responsible, but didn’t expect Michael to be at the warehouse. She wonders what they do now musing what if Sonny won’t react since he has gotten so close to her. Jason agrees whatever happens has to be Sonny’s choice, but Sam wonders if Jason can live with Sonny not doing anything. As they talk about it, Spinelli comes home and asks if Jason found the proof he needed. Jason apologizes for yelling at him, but tells him he can’t be anywhere near this now. Spinelli understands and trusts Jason to do the right thing. After Spinelli leaves, Jason explains he didn’t tell Spinelli he got the proof so he can protect him. Jason worries about Sam as well, but she tells him he just needs to protect himself.



Michael wonders what Sonny will do to Claudia if he tells him about her involvement in his shooting. Kristina doesn’t think Sonny would ever hurt his wife and that he’d just turn her over to the police. Michael says Sonny will take care of the situation himself and when Kristina wonders if he’d kill her, Michael says, “That’s what she deserves isn’t it?” Kristina thinks he can’t be serious, but he says he will always be messed up because of her. Michael can’t forgive her for trying to kill their father, but Kristina thinks they are cool now and suggests maybe his memories aren’t even real. Michael says he should be protecting her from this and not asking for her help. He leaves and Mike tells Kristina he gets his moods from his father.



Kiefer comes into Kelly’s and sits with Kristina, explaining he’s been really busy and that’s why he hasn’t called. He wants to be with her again on Thursday, but Kristina thinks it’s happening really fast and doesn’t know if she can get away. Kiefer tells her if she really wants to she can.



On the plane, Claudia and Sonny talk about what they accomplished in Puerto Rico. Sonny also looks forward to the birthday party he’s going to throw her to send the message that nothing will ever be the same.



Jax comes home to Carly who is on the phone with Marty at the hotel. She hangs up and they talk about her taking things easy. Carly gets a call from Sonny from the plane to make arrangements for Claudia’s birthday party at the Metro Court.



As Emma sleeps, Robin senses Patrick is distracted by something and asks what’s up. Patrick talks about Claudia and wonders if they should warn her about Jason getting proof on her culpability for Michael’s shooting. Robin thinks maybe they should stay out of it but Patrick thinks Claudia should have to pay for Michael’s shooting if she’s responsible. Robin says he sounds like Sonny, but thinks they should let Jason and Sonny handle it because sometimes you have to distance yourself from other people’s problems. Patrick calls her smart and says he is the luckiest man in the world to be her husband.


Olivia pulls Kate to the side and demands she stay quiet about Dante and Sonny. Dante comes over and tells Kate nothing she can say will stop him from taking Sonny down, but if she blows his cover he’s dead. Kate doesn't think it’s that simple, but Dante asks her to do it for his mother. Dante leaves and the women continue to debate the issue.


Dominic goes to Johnny’s garage to ask if he’s heard from Sonny or Claudia, but he hasn’t. Johnny tells him turning Claudia down was smart because getting involved with her could be dangerous. Johnny worries about his sister and asks Dominic to tell him if she starts acting all nutty again so he can help her out, but Dominic thinks there isn’t much he can do.


Sonny and Claudia talk about losing their baby and he tells her about Lily. Claudia understands why he doesn’t want any more kids. She will respect it and just be a really good stepmom. Sonny says Kristina is the one who needs them the most and Claudia blames Alexis for the distance between him and his daughter. He wishes Alexis wouldn’t fight him on everything and fears his daughter doesn’t think he loves her. Claudia suggests the two of them do something with her so Kristina can see a woman love Sonny for who he is and that’s her. As they make plans, their plane experiences turbulence, which scares Claudia. Things get worse and Sonny tells her to hold his hand.

Carly makes the arrangements for Sonny’s party and increases the rates across the board. Jax wonders what she’s doing and she thinks Sonny will come to the conclusion that Claudia isn’t worth all the money he’s spending, but Jax thinks Sonny might think they are alike and deserve each other. Jax tells her he doesn’t want her around Claudia until after the baby is born, but she insists she will be at the party. Olivia comes over and Jax tells her about the party and that he wants her to take over the project because Carly can’t be anywhere near it.

Kiefer brings Kristina home and after she promises to find a way to meet him later, Alexis comes out and invites Kiefer in where he says all the right things. The three talk about colleges and Kiefer asks Alexis if he can take Kristina to a coffeehouse near one of the schools on Thursday. Alexis agrees, as Kristina looks worried.


Michael comes to see Johnny and tells him Claudia’s time is running out and he might be the only one who can save her. He says he remembered everything and assumes he would want to protect his sister before it’s too late.


After Jason calls Bernie, Sam worries Jason will be the prime suspect if something should happen to Claudia and wants him to consider Michael in all of this.

Joey Limbo poses a threat to Johnny.

Dominic finds a drugged Lulu.

Good Monday everyone!

Regarding the CO77X (whatever) directed at Jason, it would be a juicy twist if AJ is behind this. I know he died, but we all know no one really dies on a soap. They just go to a different soap, movies or project.

LOVE Kate! Miss her having a stronger s/l. She is so right about tell Dante' and Sonny about their relationship. I use to feel the secret was not hers to tell but, now I feel she owes Olivia nothing and she should do whatever she feels like. At least she has nothing to gain by it.
You can't really blame Alexis for liking Keifer. He is a handsome young man, who appears very respectful, going to a Ivy League college coming from a fine family. He is very respectful to her and Krintina acts like her is the perfect boyfriend. Why would Alexis doubt him?
For some reason i'm liking Michael. He is a chip off the old block. Turning into a mini-mobster. Why do I like this? Can't really say but, it makes for a more interesting character.
If you really believe a crime is going to be committed what is your obligation to do something about it? Ringleader, what is the law on this?
Would be cool if Sonny and Claudia do down in the plane and we don't know what happen to Claudia. Then she can come back. And, who's to say her character on BB won't be as crazy as it was on this show?
More later...

i hate that Kiefer keeps pressuring Kristina to have sex, watch her end up pregnant. I wonder how Claudia is going to die off? i cant wait for Dominic to find out that Sunny is his dad. that should be intresting. i can't stand Alexis, always so quick to find everyone elses faults but is blind to her own. please she makes me sick.

Hello everyone! I have been reading the comments for 1 year now and thought I would put my 2 cents worth in. First, Kate needs to get a life and stay out of Olivias. I know she is family, but come on. Also, Kristina cannot be this stupid. And Sam should pick up on the signals - it's soooo typical teenage behaviour. Get her the pill, she'll be safe? The girl is being threatened by Kiefer - that's not healthy! Also, isn't there somewhere else that Sonny can have Claudia's party? Is that the only place in town? Give me a break! Okay, I'm done for now. I need some sanity!

So, i'm one of the few but loved Claudia from the start. Then over the last year they wrote her into a corner. She started out strong then became so needy for sonny. I was really hoping they'd pair her with Nichloas she had alot of chemisty there but the just let that fizzle with the return of rebecca. I think B&B is Lucky both SJB & Rick Herst are awesome and they had such a good story going before TPTB had her marry Sonny. I did like her attempt to marry Jason it so reminded me of Brenda. I love the soaps but man i have to agree with the posters on almost all the soap boards "what the h*ll are the writers smoking". I will miss the claudia that could have been, here's to hoping she gets an ending like Rick...

Anyone with a drinking problem could be forgiven for falling off the wagon watching all the booze being swigged on GH these days. Kate went through half a bottle of whiskey in Jakes today, not to mention two or more beers. She needs a spell in rehab.

Jake was probably keeping an eye on the ladies to make sure that they didn't beat each others' brains out, but do you think he could overhear what they were saying in that loud stage whisper? If he did overhear, and as we heard that he is paying protection to Sonny and it is his duty to report anything he hears, it won't be long before Sonny finally gets to know that DOMINIC PIRELLI IS HIS SON.

Carly really teed me off today and Friday when she got bent out of shape because her ex husband did not tell her that he was going out of town. Why should he tell her? What business is it of hers? Does he need her permission? My gosh, talk about self absorbed. I also disliked the way she was planning to overcharge Sonny for the do at the Metro Court. Maybe Sonny should take his business to the Haunted Star. That'd show her!

I loved Spinelli's comment that he "hoped Jason would behave in a fair and honorable way, to use the vernacular, do the right thing." He's getting it!

All the 'should we say something, or should we turn a blind eye' agonising is getting to be annoying. Patrick and Robin should let Mack know that they discovered more evidence, although how they would explain the fact that it is now in Jason's hands is a problem. Sam is right that it should be Sonny's decision. At least Michael did the right thing. I was glad that Kristina questioned the need for killing Claudia. If Sonny or his goon does act, he could lose Kristina for good.

After listening to Adam Lambert singing Mad World, I googled him, watched a few clips, and I am now a fan. If you catch the You Tube clip of him singing in Brigadoon about five years ago it is truly astounding. Not so long ago he was doing Bar Mitzvahs, cabaret, weddings and funerals - now he is on his way to superstardom. He looked better without the hair dye and eye makeup though.

Okay so I love Jason but he's kind of a hypocrite. He wants Claudia to pay for her crimes and she should but what about all the crimes he and Sonny have committed and I mean lets face it they both should be in jail but they're not. As far as Krisina is concerned I feel sorry for her she might have a really bad image of herself and must think her self very unworthy of love to let a pig like Kieffer lead around like a dog. I wouldn't want to be Kieffer when Sonny finds out he's been mistreating Kristina.

Did Robin and Patrick actually hear the proof? Do they actually have it to show to the police? From my years of watching Law and Order (not so much since Jerry Orbach died),the police would say something along the lines of we can't do anything because you have no evidence; after something happens, then we'll get back to you. But I'd have liked them better if they'd tried.

I was glad Michael went to Johnny.

Kate's point about how long in advance do you think you'll know Olivia was a good one. I never saw Kate, but I do like Kate-Connie.

Instead of caving in, let Olivia tell Sonny and Dante that she made the best decision she knew how. I almost understood her point that Dante wouldn't back off Sonny just because he knew Sonny is his father. With Kristina and Dante horrified, we might get a chance to see some really fine acting from Maurice.

Anyway, I want to see what happens next!!!!!!!!!

OK I've got to get the secrets straight, as well as who knows them.
First secret is that Claudia caused the bullet that hit Michael and put him in a coma for a year. She didn't actually do the deed but it was her idea, because she wanted Sonny dead. While doing research on Sonny I discovered that he once actually shot Carly, while she was in labor, while attempting to shoot AJ. Carly forgave him. So, it's only when you actually shoot mob children when it becomes a major issue.(I guess)
who knows this secret? Jax, Kate, Ric, Jerry, Olivia, and now Patrick, Robin, Sam, Spin, Michael, and Johnny. (He always knew)

Next secret is that Dominic is Dante who's really a cop and is the illegitimate son of Sonny. And Olivia's son. NO one has questioned this even though Oli hovered over Dom night and day while he dying in the hospital. NO one questions it even though he looks very much like Sonny.
Who knows this secret? Kate, Jax, Oli of course,Claudia. Anybody else?
It seems to me that Kate and Jax are carrying lots of secrets, yet neither do much about them. Tough to take, really . But this is a soap. and if one reads or attends real operas, they are real soaps and they really tug after your heart with no logic what so ever.


More, probably, later.

ttoyou: I believe Sonny was trying to shoot Alcalzar when he shot Carley, not AJ.
