Courtly Love.

Tuesday, June 30 2009
Spinelli changes the game on Maxie, Nikolas asks Rebecca to move in, Carly and Jason try to convince Sonny to let Michael live with the Qs, Kristina lashes out at Alexis and Jax warns Claudia.


Sonny thinks Carly is trying to get back at him, but she tells him Michael isn’t safe with him. He thinks the Qs will turn Michael into another A.J., but Carly thinks Michael will have opportunities that won’t land him in prison or get him shot. Carly tells him they are on the same side and want Michael to be happy, but Sonny thinks they will ruin him.


Elizabeth can’t believe Nikolas wants Rebecca to move in with him and they argue about her. Nik stands his ground and she hopes it turns out to be everything he wants it to be.


Ethan wants to go back to Kelly’s with Rebecca, but she tells him Nikolas will get suspicious if she does and she’s come too far to ruin everything now. She says their deal is still on, but he thinks she wants to take Emily’s place in Nik and the Q’s life. She assures him he will get his cut and when they hear Nikolas come out, Ethan warns her he can make this end any time. Ethan hides, as Nikolas chides her for running away from the scary movie and she tells him she’s tired of running and that there’s no place she’d rather be than with him. They kiss, as Ethan watches.


Spinelli asks Jason to stay nearby as he decides he will engage in courtly love with Maxie, who is intrigued.

Kristina lashes out at her mother about her affair with the mayor. Alexis tries to explain, but Kristina and Michel both disrespect her and Kristina runs up to her room.


At Jake’s, Patrick catches Johnny and Coleman up on Alexis and the mayor. Patrick thinks their affair will clear him and Matt of the malpractice suit and thanks Johnny for helping out with Matt when he was drunk the other night. Robin shows up, but only orders a cola because of the meds she’s on.



Michael makes arrangements for someone to pick him up and then makes snide remarks towards Alexis. He accuses Alexis of never liking him, but she says it’s not him, she just doesn’t want Kristina around Sonny and their environment. She wanted her daughter to have a safer life with better values. Michael retorts, “Like yours?” His ride shows up and he leaves, as Kristina comes back downstairs.



Olivia and Jax go over some paperwork at the Metro Court and he learns Carly wants Michael to live with the Quartermaines. Olivia doesn't think Sonny will ever allow it, but Jax says he has a secret weapon and all Olivia has to do is make a simple phone call.



Maxie and Spinelli go to Jake’s and she asks him to explain what courtly love means. He goes into a detailed explanation and she thinks it would be easier if they just had a couple of beers and hooked up.



Alexis tries to explain why she slept with the mayor, but Kristina doesn’t feel any better towards her mother. Alexis apologizes for the scandal and will make sure she and Molly won't be affected. She thinks the best they can do is try and get through it. Kristina doesn’t think so and walks out.



Michael comes home and tells Sonny about Alexis and the mayor. Sonny can’t believe it and thinks he should call over there. Michael tells his dad he lucked out with his parents because they own their mistakes and don’t pretend they are perfect. He says even when it’s bad they all still love each other and he knows they are just trying to do what’s best for him. Sonny explains his relationship with Alexis and Kristina and Michael is glad he never let anyone keep them apart. Jason comes in and tells Michael Carly has a solution to his living situation and he will support it. Michael walks off and Sonny and Jason debate the issue. Michael listens in as Jason tells Sonny it’s not healthy for Michael to be around the mob and Claudia. Sonny wants Michael to have everything in life and Jason says he has to let him go then.


Rebecca thinks she hears something, but Nikolas thinks she’s been watching too many scary movies. They start kissing, which leads to sex. Afterwards, Nikolas asks her to move in with him. Rebecca warns Nikolas she’s not Emily and lists all the bad habits she has. Nikolas thinks they should take a leap of faith and asks her to say yes.

Ethan goes to Jake’s and starts to make himself a drink behind the bar, as Patrick and Robin discuss the possibility of the mayor not actually killing Brianna.

Johnny walks by Maxie and Spinelli’s table and she asks him to confirm that they never had sex and that she has been faithful to him. Johnny obliges and Maxie thinks she and Spinelli should go upstairs. Patrick and Robin come upon Spinelli and Maxie and they discuss the case.

Olivia summons Claudia to Jax’s office and then leaves the two of them alone. Jax informs her he knows everything about her involvement in Michael’s shooting and if she doesn’t convince Sonny to let Michael live with the Qs, he will tell Jason and Sonny all about it. She counters she will tell Carly he knew everything when Carly shows up wondering what’s going on.

Olivia shows up as Johnny plays pool and they talk about the power of secrets. Johnny thinks they should go back to her place and say nothing at all.

A drunken Ethan calls Lucky and tells him to meet him at Jake’s because he has some information that may interest him.

Maxie is excited about Spinelli’s idea of courtly love until Robin tells her it means they will never have sex. Maxie thinks not and drags Spinelli away from Patrick.

Elizabeth shows up after hearing Ethan’s message and wonders what’s going on. They talk about Lucky and Luke and Ethan says maybe he’s not the lovable drifter he pretends to be. He warns Elizabeth if a long lost family member suddenly shows up, there has to be an angle.

Next on General Hospital:

Sonny changes his mind about where Michael should live.

Jason fears the worst.

Rebecca is conflicted.

Coleman asks Spinelli and Maxie for advice.

I settled down with my afternoon tea wondering if Johnny was still waiting for Olivia to come home from work, but oh no! instead we got sulky, petulant, Christina being rude to her mother again. Even worse, Alexis APOLOGISED to her. Since when does a mother have to apologize for anything to her daughter. Whatever happened to: “you‘ll do as I say because I say so“ and “when you live in my house you go by my rules. When you turn 18 and can support yourself you are free to move out … “ There is no need for Alexis to explain anything to Christina let alone apologize. I really don’t think I can sit through this stuff all summer. At least Sonny tells Michael not to speak badly of his mother.

Maybe Alexis needs to send Christina to help out a shelter for battered women and children, or to pack food baskets at the nearest church food bank, then she might get into into her spoiled rotten brain how good she has it.

So what’s with Jax’s hair - has he had lice or something? When I was at school that haircut was all the rage and one day the headmaster suspended all the boys with a “Bosch crop”. Jax has made a big mistake threatening Claudia. He’ll be next for the landfill.

At least Olivia finally got off work, she must have worked a long shift as it had been dark for a while, and we know NY in summertime does not get dark until about 9 p.m. Johnny must have got tired of waiting and eating pasta because he went to Jake's dive. Do you think they borrowed the upstairs room?

What is Jax thinking trying to threaten Claudia...he'll be next on her list of botched hits. Don't know if I can handle watching the two brats disrespect thier parents. And more rebekolous...ugh! Couldn't stand it yesterday when Rebeka was so phony with her screams during the movie. Hadn't she seen it like 20 times? when is Nic going to wise up? I'm wondering what Ethan has up his sleeve? I havn't determined whether I like him or not. sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.

Has it dawned on Ethan that the mark they are trying to con is his stepbrother. He would be better getting on the right side of Nicholas rather than taking his money and skipping town with Rebecca.

Today was pretty boring

Cynic - I agree. The spoiled "rebellious" teeny-bopper thing is already OLD. I do think that Alexis needed to say something to Kristina, but I would much have preferred her to simply say that sometimes people make mistakes and Alexis is no different. Beyond that it is none of Kristina's business who her mother, a grown adult, has been intimate with (let alone that incident being a one night stand at a vulnerable time in Alexis' life).

Alexis has brought much of this on herself. By actively keeping Sonny away from Kristina, Alexis caused Kristina to resent her for that. Yes, Sonny's business is dangerous, but Alexis is a Cassadine and Helena hates her, so what's more dangerous than that? Parents who are not in the mob have bad things happen to their children too. Kids get shot in school or get in car accidents or fall out of trees and hit their heads. Even keeping them inside their houses 24/7 won't keep them safe - they could hurt themselves running with scissors (how many times did we hear that one Cynic??). For all Alexis has tried to do to protect her daughter, it seems that it's all backfired because now Kristina doesn't want to listen to anything Alexis has to say.

I think Kristina needs a good ole fashioned punishment. Like no t.v., no cell phones, no friends coming over or hanging out, no music. To school and home. That's it! (I don't play in my house! There's only room for one Queen B and that's me!)! You don't have to like me, but you WILL do as I say and respect me! I would not have apoligized to Kristina. Who's the parent and who's the child. I agree Cynic-a little charity work will go a long way to rehabilitating Kristina.

Sonny-I understand that he feels guilty-he should. As they all should. However, as the parent, you have to parent. Not play games to win the favor of a child. Not try to buy a child. You MUST do what is right for that child. The Q's are defiantly not the greatest bunch around and Michael is already who is he going to be, I seriously doubt they can do too much damage, some, but not as much as possibly getting shot again.

I changed the channel when Ethan/Rebecca/Nik came on. I really like Nik but not the storyline.

Ethan is not Nick's stepbrother. They are not related in any way. And, in my opinion it is never wrong to say i'm sorry , I have made a mistake to anyone, when you are wrong.

Posted by Ringleader at Tuesday, June 30 2009 02:49 PM

Jax threatening Claudia was dumb. Like she pointed out, then Carly would know that Jax had known about this all along and didn't tell her - and worse let Michael spend time with Claudia. That would be the end of his marriage right there. Also, didn't Jax break the DVD anyway? If so, what would he use as "proof" of his claim? Ric already told Sonny and Jason what was on Jerry's DVD, Claudia could just claim that Jax was repeating that story.

And again, oh yeah, everyone's willing to believe this story based on the word of a hostage taking, hotel bombing, drug dealing, murdering, criminal (Jerry) who has more than once lied to his brother (and just about everyone else) about very important things ("I'm going legit and I want to go into business with you brother" would be a good example).

Considering that the writers keep stressing through the dialogue they write what a great liar Claudia is supposed to be, it's disappointing that they didn't have her consider giving Sonny one of the DVD's and having her say that Jerry's only claiming her to be involved to cover his own butt. She could have said that Jerry was in business with Ian Devlin (which he was) and they couldn't move their drugs into town because she and Johnny agreed to the truce (also true), so Jerry and Ian agreed to take Sonny out and Michael got hit by the riccochet. She could have said that Jerry came on to her and she turned him down so he's had a vendetta against her ever since. AND because Jerry felt guilty about Michael's shooting and blamed her because of the truce (which in Jerry's twisted mind was the cause of the whole incident) so he's trying to get Sonny and Jason to kill her. Is it just me or doesn't that sound like a perfectly plausible explanation?

And that plot would have continued to build Claudia into a force to actually be reckoned with like when she first came to town, instead of the weak, incompetent, whiney, needy, clingy, attention hound (wanted to use a different word there, but don't want to violate the board rules! LOL) she's become lately. Maybe it's just me...

Lets see: Lucky and Ethan and Nik are all step brothers.

Laura is Luckys mother. Laura is Niks mother. (step brothers) Luke is Lucky father. Luke is Ethans father. Their step brothers because they all share one parent or another in common.

Posted by ransomha at Tuesday, June 30 2009 03:11 PM

what parent do ethan and Nic share? they would be half brothers like nic and lucky or lucky and ethan. step is when the parents are married...like if luke was married to holly..they are not related.
