A Few Bumps in the Road.

Thursday, September 17 2009
Liz and Lucky go to therapy, Michael confronts Jax, Maxie resolves to marry Spinelli, Morgan asks Dominic to live with his family, Olivia warns Johnny about Dominic and Sam tells Jason Michael is remembering.


Nikolas can’t believe Elizabeth accepted Lucky’s proposal after they slept together, but Elizabeth doesn’t want to hurt Lucky again and insists their night together never happened. Nikolas thinks this secret will tear them apart, but Liz is determined to make Lucky happy. Lucky comes up to them and Elizabeth learns Rebecca was with Nikolas this morning. Liz and Lucky then go off to counseling.



Maxie runs to the hospital in a panic and finds Robin, who tells her all the wedding details are being organized and all she has to do is decide on a location. Maxie conveys her doubts about getting married and Robin suggests Maxie listen to her instincts and she’ll know when the time is right to do it. Maxie says she loves Spinelli and wants to be with him, but she’s freaked out about the baby thing. She flippantly says she can just take birth control and runs off.


Spinelli doesn’t exactly get the reassurance he was seeking from Jason about his marriage, but is further convinced Jason is the perfect choice to be his best man.


Jax walks in the room as Michael lays out his theory to Sam that his stepfather tried to kill Sonny. Carly comes down as well and Sam fills Jax and Carly in on what happened at the warehouse. Jax gets upset thinking his family is in danger and Sam leaves. Jax goes to his office and Michael tells Carly Jax does a good job of covering it up, but he hates Sonny’s guts.



Sonny and Claudia walk in Johnny’s room and Claudia orders Olivia out. Johnny tells his sister to leave instead. Sonny wants to talk business with Johnny so he suggests Olivia vacate the premises. After Johnny tells her it’s okay, Olivia leaves the room.



Morgan comes to Dominic’s hospital room and brings him his Yankees helmet. Morgan asks if he’d like to live at his house until he can take care of himself. Dominic doesn't think Jax and Carly would like that, but Morgan says it will be fun because they can play video games and watch baseball.



Elizabeth and Lucky have a session with Lainey so they can work through their issues that drove them apart. Lucky brings up Maxie and Elizabeth says she felt betrayed. Lainey wonders if Elizabeth could ever lie or cheat in a relationship and Liz flashes to her night with Nikolas, but says she cheated with Jason. Lainey asks what the worst thing for Lucky was in finding out about the affair. He says being lied to and Liz admits to Lainey Jason is Jake’s father. Lucky wants to give Elizabeth and the boys the happiness and security they deserve and is prepared to do the work this time. Lainey wonders if Lucky needs Liz to validate him and he says maybe in the past, but now they trust and rely on each other. Lainey thinks they are doing great and they make plans to meet again next week. Out in the hall Lucky says counseling is exactly what they need if they want to have an open and honest relationship.



Olivia visits Dante who tells her Morgan invited him to live at his house. Olivia doesn’t think it’s a good idea, but Dante doesn’t want to see him get hurt and realizes Morgan is looking for an older brother. Olivia points out Morgan doesn’t know he is an undercover cop who is trying to put his father in jail. Olivia then rails at her son for putting himself in danger and again asks him to back out of the investigation. Dante says he won’t stop until the Corinthos and Zaccharas are behind bars.


Johnny asks Claudia to leave his room and they argue. After Claudia leaves, Sonny says he just threw out the one person who is one hundred percent loyal to him. Sonny then accuses him of setting up the ambush.


Carly asks why Michael is so angry with Jax. Michael doesn’t like anyone attacking his dad and wonders how far Jax would go to get Sonny out of their lives.


Sam and Michael meet on the docks and Sam defends Jax, but Michael stands his ground on the subject. Sam tells him not to say anything to anyone about this and he instructs her to prove it wasn’t Jax who tried to kill Sonny. Sam will see what she can do.

Jason visits Johnny after Sonny leaves and says he doesn’t think he had anything to do with the attack at the warehouse, but wonders if he thinks Anthony will strike again. Johnny says to assume the worst because a lot of innocent people could end up as collateral damage. Jason wants to know what Claudia has done, but Johnny won’t turn against her. He does say since Jason didn’t do anything knowing how dangerous she is, her actions are partially on him. Jason gets a call from Sam who tells him she needs to talk to him about Michael.

Carly calls Sonny over to chastise him about not telling her about what happened at the warehouse because her kids could be in danger. Sonny assures her the kids are protected and Carly tells Sonny Morgan asked Dominic to move in with them. She thinks he could keep Morgan safe and entertained.


Spinelli runs into Maxie on the docks and they express how much they are looking forward to their wedding. Maxie says they’ve hit a few bumps along the way, but she can handle anything.



Ronnie comes to talk to Dante and tells him he will be Sonny’s second most trusted solider (Jason is the first of course) now that he saved Morgan’s life. Dante tells him about Morgan’s invitation and Ronnie thinks it’s perfect. Dante won’t use Morgan like that and Ronnie warns him not to get too soft. Sonny walks up as Ronnie says his only mission is to put Corinthos in prison.



Michael goes to Jax’s office for a check for his school and Jax apologizes for bad mouthing Sonny. Michael thinks it’s obvious that he hates him, but Jax won’t pretend to not be angry when Sonny puts his family in danger. Michael tells Jax he knows what he said while he was in a coma and asks what he had to do with his shooting. Jax denies any responsibility but Michael thinks he got shot because Jax was trying to kill Sonny.


Olivia returns to Johnny’s room and they discuss his life in the mob. She makes him promise to protect himself and to be careful of who he trusts: Sonny, Jason and even Dominic.

Sam comes to Mercy to tell Jason Michael is remembering what people said to him while he was in a coma as Claudia eavesdrops.

Next on General Hospital:

Dominic’s loyalty is tested.

Elizabeth seethes with jealousy.

Johnny continues to push his sister away.

Okay, was it just me or did anyone else notice that when Olivia sitting by Johnny's bed and Dante's bed, she had the same posture. It seemed weird to me that she would sit by Dante's bed the same way she would with Johnny - who's supposed to be her lover/boyfriend/"whatever".

I have to say that I think this is kind of genius how they're writing Michael's memories. Now when Jax points the finger at Claudia (with no "proof" becuase he destroyed Jerry's DVD too, for whatever that would have been worth - I know, Starlett, I'll try to let that go! LOL), Michael won't believe Jax. At least, that's what I'm guessing will happen. The only people who have seen the DVD from Jerry and could back Jax up are all people who have grudges against Claudia (and yes, I know that's a long list) like Ric, Kate and Olivia. So they could all have their motives questioned in pinning the blame on Claudia. Just saying...

And now Michael planted the seeds of doubt in Carly's mind too. Even if Carly doesn't belive that Jax was involved in the shooting, knowing that he knew about Claudia and didnt' say anything is really, really not going to sit well with Carly at all. So, by keeping this secret for so long, Jax may have shot himself in the foot. It will be nice to Mr. High-and-Mighty get knocked down a peg or two.

And why the heck do people continue to talk to Dante about being under cover in his hospital room with the DANG DOOR OPEN??!!? I mean, anyone could just walk by and hear them (Olivia and Dante or Ronnie and Dante) talking about it. WTF?? How dumb is that?

WHOOOOO HOOOOO!! I got the first comment in today!

What a great show today. Hey Michael you're blaming the wrong person for putting you in a coma, it was your own stepmother Claudia. She put a hit out on Sonny, but ending up shooting you instead and the reason why you was in a coma over a year, lost your life, and family torn apart because of your own stepmother. I am so glad he is getting all of his memory back on track. I guess there are going to be two wedding. Maxie and Spinelli and Lucky and Elizabeth amazing.

Okay, what is the point of Michael asking Sam for his help and investigating the validity of his memories re: Jax if all he was going to do is to go behind her back and confront Jax? If he really believed that Jax was responsible, why couldn't he simply bide his time and allow Sam to get the proof that he needs? Instead here he is once again, jumping the gun and accusing Jax of his shooting. Deep down I think that Michale knows that Jax has nothing to do with it, but he clearly dislikes him so is willing to throw out stupid accusations at him. So glad that Sam finally told Jason because Jason has a good understanding of exactly what went down, although I am in firm disagreement that Claudia should be killed for this. Jason is another one that is just looking for a way of putting a bullet through Colaudia's skull and judging from the spoiler's that I have been reading, it will be his bad reaction that will eventaully cause her demise.

Michael is very much like his father Sonny in so many ways. He really is a mobster in the making. Did anyone hear him threatening someone on the phone yesterday? I did and was so disgusted and upset by it that I FF most of his scenes. Now he is looking for a way to crucify Jax by trying to pin the blame on him for his shooting simply because he woke up disliking Jax, just as Sonny is foaming at the mouth trying to fabricate means of ending JZ's life just so he could have a clear road to Olivia's bed, despite the fact that Jax is not responsible for Micheal's shooting, nor is JZ responsible for the warehouse shootings. Like Father, like son. These two are either extremely blind or extremely stupid. I'd vote for the latter

jason and molly scenes=great and funny, Im liking that molly more and more
michael thinks jax is trying to kill sonny, i bet he knows it's not true he probably doesnt like that jax and his mom are together; and of course jax doesnt like sonny; sonny doesnt like jax either, it's no secret.

what's up with sam talking to carly like that; "if jason or sonny wants her to know they'll call her? what was that!"


I cant stand liz anymore, im sorry but she has just got on my very last nerve! Lucky needs to wake up and dump her like yesterday and never look back!
how hard is to tell him she doesn love him and does not want to marry him, he asked her point blank but she has to jerk him around so he doesnt move on and that way he'll always be there as her back up;
she knows she is not being fair or trying to do the right thing either: how right is it to marry someone under false pretense while running around behind his back with his brother, I ask; I also suspect she is using him to make nick jealous;
He is not going to be any less hurt when he finds out about his brother and the woman he loves (why he loves her is beyond me anyway)
If their feelings are true then they should just tell him the truth already and move on.

I do not understand how in the he!! that Sonny thinks Johnny is a threat or that he has turned on him. I further, do not like the idea and I hope that the writers are no in any way thinking of getting ride of Johnny - there are a lot of other male actors that could go, if there is a budget problem.

Ringleader: my thoughts when Oliva was sitting at John's bed was...she looks like his mother not girlfriend. And you are not allowed to desert me....
my lover: I don't think either wedding will take place.
Enad: Bideing your time is a hard thing to do, even if you aren't an angry 17 year old....
Now....Dante being Morgans live in body guard /friend is just plain weird. If Morgan is lonley...have him get on a baseball team,invite a friend home from school , play with kids. An adult man who likes to hang out with 10 year olds is creepy.
Cynic: If Dante lives with Morgan and works for him( a hired playmate) does that make Dante Morgan's servent?
Something that Ringleader and NYDrama brought to my attention was that, because this is written word and not spoken, we don't know the TONE of eachothers comments. I can't help but wonder if that's what happen with Aussie. I was guilty of thinking she was being mean to me when it turns out she wasn't. Any thought?

Posted by Lanealways at Thursday, September 17 2009 02:28 PM

Well Lainey was on today huh, wonder how long that will last; I like her and I wish they would give her a better s/l, whatever happened with cody any way;
liz and lucky marriage counseling, that was a laugh, there lucky was serious and ready to mend their relationship and liz of course couldnt help but make him feel guilty for his mistakes, like she's never made any;

Posted by ransomha at Thursday, September 17 2009 02:31 PM

Also...think we are due for a "who's the baby's daddy s/l" but, will it be a pregnant Liz or Rebbecca? Be interesting if they BOTH end up pregnant! with Nic/Lucky being the daddy to one or both babies...

Olivia, Olivia, how can you sell out your own child?
