Claudia Gets Desperate.

Friday, October 30 2009
Mayhem ensues as Claudia is exposed and kidnaps Carly.


Sonny tells Claudia in front of everyone that she tried to kill him and shot his son instead. She denies it, but Sonny continues that he also knows other people were involved in covering up the truth but they will be dealt with. Johnny comes to her defense and says he called the hit, not her. As much as Sonny would like to get rid of Johnny, he heard the evidence that she hired Ian and Jerry. Sonny calls Jax out on knowing the truth, as Carly looks devastated. Claudia says she never intentionally hurt Michael and that their marriage and baby were real, but Sonny thanks God their baby died. She turns it on him and says he is the reason Michael was at the warehouse and got shot. Sonny goes off on her and Claudia pulls a gun when Sonny orders his men to take her. Claudia grabs Carly and says she will kill her if they come after her and pulls Carly on the elevator.



On the elevator, Carly goes into labor and Claudia tells her to do what she says if she wants her baby to live.


Panic spreads across the party and Alexis sees Kristina who cries for Michael, should something happen to Carly.

Jason and Johnny race down the stairs as Sonny berates Jax on the elevator for covering up Jerry and Claudia’s involvement in the shooting. Jax in turn threatens Sonny if something should happen to Carly.

Michael blames himself and wants to go after his mother, but Dominic restrains him and talks him down.

Claudia drags Carly out of the hotel and into a car sitting at the valet, as Jason, Johnny, Jax and Sonny run outside in the rain, but just miss them.


Carly tries to reason with Claudia, but she knows Jason won’t stop until there is a bullet in her head. As Carly’s labor pains intensify, Claudia says Jason and Sonny ruined everything and if taking her is the only way to hurt them, then so be it. As Claudia explains her actions, Carly grabs the wheel.


Luke makes a mysterious call for help regarding Carly and Tracy says she wants to leave. Luke wants to stay and Mayor Floyd offers to escort her downstairs, saying it was a mistake to attend a gangster’s party.

Dominic calls for everyone’s attention to say the police are on the way and they should all stay put and try to relax. Luke wonders who made him Chief of Police.

Mac comes to the lobby of the Metro Court and Jax catches him up on the car Claudia stole.

Olivia tells Dante she thinks maybe it’s time to tell everyone he’s a cop and end this whole undercover thing before anyone else gets hurt. Detective Williams then comes to the room and says Claudia has escaped with Carly.


Johnny tells Mac he might know where Claudia has gone. Kelly comes in and tells Jax she and Carly discussed scheduling a c-section a few days ago. Jax wonders if Carly could die if she gave birth naturally. Kelly can’t predict it and tries to reassure him.


Jason calls Spinelli to pull up every security camera from the Metro Court to the airport and to look for the car Claudia is driving.


Dante fills Det. Williams in on what he knows and how Luke has left to check things out for himself. The cop asks Olivia if she was aware of Claudia’s involvement in the shooting when she was arrested earlier.


Sonny comes back upstairs to get Dominic’s help on the ins and outs of the Zaccharas and hears Kristina tell Alexis she finally sees what a monster her father can be. Kristina sees him and cries as she apologizes to him. He wants to explain things but he can’t do it right now.


Johnny tells Jason about his captivity with Joey and that Joey is under orders to knock Claudia off. Jason wonders what he will do if his sister calls for help. Johnny knows the priority is to save Carly.



Mac gets some information on the car Claudia took and Jason tries to run off, but the cops stop him. Jax furiously tells Mac to let him go because Jason knows how to find Carly. Mac tells him to calm down, but Jax will not let his wife and baby die just because Michael got shot, as Michael and Sam walk off the elevator. Jax apologizes to Michael and Mac says he won’t let Jason go after Claudia because the violence will stop right here and now. He has Jason arrested, but Jax insists they need to stop wasting time and find Carly and the baby before Claudia kills them.



Dominic gives Sonny some information on the Zacchara organization, but doesn’t think Claudia will use those resources. Det. Williams then questions Sonny, who will allow the cops to enter his office for the CD incriminating Claudia.


Sonny tells Alexis he didn't know Kristina would be there, but Alexis wonders why Sonny didn’t just go to the police about Claudia.


After Det. Williams tells everyone they are free to go home, Sonny admits to Olivia she was right about Claudia. Olivia tells Sonny what Claudia did was wrong, but he’s better than that because she knows what it is to have the best of him - she has carried it with her her entire life. Dante watches from afar.



Carly and Claudia veer off the road and lie lifeless in the banged up car.


Next on General Hospital:

Carly prepares to deliver her baby.

Sonny goes to Alexis for help.

Dominic helps Lulu search for Carly.

Spinelli unknowingly sends Johnny and Dominic on a collision course.

Today I’m home to see the show as it airs, so I’m writing my comments as the show airs, so it all may seem a bit random, but here goes.

I actually have regained a bit of respect for Johnny today for owning up to ordering the hit on Sonny. FINALLY, the truth, but, of course no one will believe him after this is all over. GO CLAUDIA!! I loved it when she stood up to Sonny and told him off. She was 100% correct in EVERYTHING she says. Sonny does let his kids run wild. It WAS Sonny’s fault that Michael was in the warehouse that night. Sonny is a self-righteous SOB.

I loved how Jason and Johnny (the tough guys) ran down the stairs where as Sonny and Jax (the male divas) took the elevator. That was PERFECT. Mayor Floyd – what a sleazebag. Drunk Tracy – too funny (and very convincing). Luke asking Domenic who died and made him chief of Police was BRILLIANT. Kristina calling her father a monster – also 100% correct.

Claudia – what can I say, I’m not going into her performance line by line, but EACH AND EVERY THING that Claudia said to Carly was 100% correct.

Robin saying that there was NO WAY to know what Sonny would do with the information??!!? Come on, now. EVERYONE knows what Sonny would do with that information. How naïve is she?

Of course Jax doesn’t think this is a time to take a moral stand. What would Jax know about “a moral stand.” And his outburst about not letting his wife and baby die just because Michael got shot – there’s the “white knight” for you – what a prince! You just know that the way Michael looked at him, he finally heard what he’s suspected to be the case. So much for Jax considering Sonny’s sons to be part of his family – maybe Morgan, because Jax came into his life when he was much younger, but not so much for Michael. That’s because Jax sees too much of Sonny in Michael (behavior wise anyway).

Olivia – Sonny IS NOT better than that. How she could smile at him like that after what he did tonight is mind boggling! THIS is the time when the hotness of Sonny and his dimples can’t make up for the ugliness of his business and his temper.

You know, Claudia was the only one who knew and accepted Sonny for the way he really is. All these other women get this “Oh Sonny, you have such a good soul” kick. Kate did it, now Olivia’s doing it. Carly always talks about what a good dad he is. Gimme a freakin’ break. He’s a mob boss who routinely orders the deaths of other people without batting an eyelash.

I practically had to keep refreshing the page because I could not wait to comment on today's episode. I loved it!!
I don't know why people say Maurice Bernard can't act because I really loved the way he portrayed anger, SJB was phenomenal, I felt really bad for Claudia because she was actually right when she said that she wouldn't have ordered the hit if Sonny hadn't locked Johnny in a room and got him beat up. The look on Jason's face when Claudia had the gun on Carly was a mixture of sadness and anger and I could totally feel the tension. Jax's face and voice when the elevator closed was something else...I couldn't believe when he said what he did about Michael in the end, but I can forget about it because he was distraught over what had just happened. I hated Sonny telling Claudia the baby dying was a blessing, I think that pushed her over the edge.
Ok...I'm just gonna stop now and see what u guys thought about the episode because I'm just gonna keep rambling if I don't.

P.S. I didn't even DVR the soap like I usually do, I watched it live because it was my day off.

Oh..and how could I forget Olivia? I CANNOT stand her. Do u want Sonny or not? What was with the cheek petting at the end? I just wanted to hurl. She just keeps making it worse for her son. My Olivia hate is really starting to become legendary. Ringleader, u're right Claudia accepted Sonny for who he was. Oh..and I also can't wait to see Carly tear into Jax later.

TODAY'S EPISODE WAS GREAT FROM BEGINNING TO END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by glowery1255 at Friday, October 30 2009 01:56 PM

I was totally disappointed with the show today, after all this build up on Claudia it came down to a mere choice of words. Sonny or someone should have slapped Jax. I don't see how Claudia was able to get to Carly w/o being taken down since Carly was no where close to her. Luke and Tracy was good as usual.

I was taping today's episode but do you think I could wait to watch it? Of course not! I watched it as it was taping and MY GOD! Give Maurice Benard and Sarah Brown freakin' Emmy's for what they did today. I have HATED Claudia the past while but the writers somewhat redeemed her in my eyes with her explosiveness towards Sonny (the baby comment was too much) and her meltdown in the car with Carly. BUT THEN she ruined it when she made that snide remark about taking Carly's daughter! She's a nut job but my god what an episode...it had it all! Drunk Tracy was a riot...Lulu being babysitter made me laugh even more.....Luke's line to Dom was dead on....I coulda hit Jax after the Michael comment...And lets not forget Kristina: I truly felt for her. She's finally realized what her father is capable of. Johnny is doing whats right and helping find Carly and the baby instead of worrying just about his sister as well....All in all FANTASTIC episode!!!

@ Sparky...I was recording on my room DVR as I was watching in the living room tv...I'm definitely gonna need to see some scenes again.

Posted by ttoyou at Friday, October 30 2009 02:05 PM

First of all I must admit to being shocked at the foul words that flew from both the mouth of Sonny and Claudia especially in front of everyone at the birthday party. (As well as on day time prime time.) It couldn't have gotten any nastier unless they physically beat on each other. Claudia may be the only woman who accepted Sonny for who he is but that's not saying much. She loved the male version of herself. The narcissist that they both are.

Wasn't it wonderful that Olivia took that time to suggest to Dante that he let everyone know that he's a cop. But she's about as slimy as they all are.

And in the end she pats Sonny's face and lets him know she's carried his goodness with her all her life. And there's Dante watching. It was pathetic!!(But makes for a great SOAP)

I think Claudia may help Carly deliver the baby and then Carly turns on Claudia to protect herself and the baby just as Claudia attempts to escape with the infant. will sort of make it self defense.

More anon. Gotta go.

Today's episdode was sooooooooo good from beginning to end. Brillian acting from MB and SJB I smell emmys. Way to go Jax, I always knew that piece of slime never cared for Michael. What he said today just confirmed it. I'm lost for words too much to write.

Posted by HottiePie25 at Friday, October 30 2009 02:14 PM

What a great show today. Finally at last the truth came out did you see everybody face they were in shocked. I heard that Carly and the baby supposed to survive and that witch Claudia supposed to be dead. Thank god Sonny told her off today she deserve to died after everything she did to Michael and everyone else. Johnny tried to save his sister on this one but it didn't happen and he knew from the beginning of Michael's shooting. I loved the scene when Carly crash the car. I hope her and the baby ok. Jax got some nerve blaming Sonny for Michael's shooting I understand that, but didn't Jax knew all along that his brother was involved in the shooting. I wonder what is the first thing he going to tell Carly. Mac is so stupid yeah Jason pull out a gun, but did he shoot anybody. What Jason should've did was shoot Mac for acting so stupid.
