General Hospital Recaps

GH Week of June 30, 2008

Monday

At the hospital, Robin and Patrick argued over him being in their child's
life once he or she is born. Patrick warned that he'd fight her for
visitation rights and had hired Diane as his lawyer. After, Anna questioned
Patrick about his intentions. Patrick couldn't understand why Robin was
pushing him away. Anna was sympathetic, noting that Robin was probably
afraid to live as a family, given how her own family was torn apart.
Elizabeth urged Robin to give Patrick a chance. Robin didn't want Patrick to
be with her because he felt obligated. Later, Diane paid Robin a visit at
the hospital. Patrick and Anna joined them — and Anna sided with
Patrick.

Jerry held a gun to Johnny's head as Anthony and Claudia looked on, worried.
Jerry warned Anthony to leave Alexis alone. Claudia offered to be his
hostage instead of Johnny. Jerry noted that Claudia is expendable, while
Johnny isn't. Anthony offered to make a deal and warned Jerry not to push
him. Jerry didn't budge and took Johnny with him. Claudia freaked out and
implored Trevor to get back her brother. Meanwhile, Alexis confided in
Nikolas that she was afraid she "unleashed" Jerry's "Mr. Craig" side. Nik
warned her that Mr. Craig was dangerous. After, Ric and Alexis argued over
Ric getting Anthony released from prison. Ric assured her that Christina and
Molly weren't in any danger.... Nik advised Claudia to get her father to
back off. He threatened to tell Jason that Claudia and Johnny were
responsible for Michael's shooting.... Jerry let Johnny go, but threatened
to kill him if anything happened to Alexis's children. Johnny then got the
upper hand and turned the gun on Jerry.

Sam and Lucky enjoyed a nice date at Kelly's. Lucky filled her in on the
Zacchara drama. Sam noted that Lulu probably couldn't help having feelings
for Johnny. Lucky feared that a romance between Lulu and Johnny would turn
out to be a " bad thing."

Spinelli and Maxie were shaken up when Dr. Matt Hunter barged in on them in
Spinelli's hospital room. She noted that she and Spinelli could do whatever
they wanted to in his room. Soon, Lulu arrived to visit Spinelli; the ladies
were offended when Matt mistook them for sisters. Maxie, of course, took the
opportunity to bash Lulu, stating that her rival didn't care about Spin.
Maxie was annoyed when Matt brushed off her questions about when she could
take Spinelli home. Later, Matt questioned Spin about his social problems
and noted that he could suffer from a behavioral "syndrome."

At Crimson, Maxie and Lulu argued over Johnny. Lulu insisted that she and
Johnny were fine, but Maxie disagreed.

Carly admitted to Jason that she might be pregnant with Sonny's baby. Jason
urged her to take a pregnancy test immediately, and begged Jason to lie for
her if it turned out to be Sonny's child. Carly later took the test and was
relieved that she wasn't pregnant. She decided to not tell Jax she'd slept
with Sonny. Jason insisted that she leave him out of her romantic
problems.... Sonny later asked Jason if he was sleeping with Carly.

Tuesday

At G.H., Robin was offended that Anna was sticking up for Patrick as they battled over his rights to the baby. Robin remained adamant that she didn't want to move in with Patrick and realized Patrick meant business about legally obtaining his parental rights. Later, at her apartment, Robin asked Alexis to represent her. Alexis advised her client that it would be far more beneficial for them to work things out without going to court. Anna entered and was surprised to see that Robin had hired a lawyer. Anna said she had no business telling Robin what to do with her child but she wanted her daughter to be a better parent than she and Robert ever were to her. Anna said she regretted keeping Robin away from Robert for the first six years of her life and, if Robin does the same to Patrick, she'll also live to regret it. Later, Anna met with Patrick and told him she'd better not be wrong in supporting him. Patrick assured Anna that she wouldn't be sorry.

At the penthouse, Jason broke the news to Sonny that Carly was not pregnant. Sonny demanded to know if Jason slept with Carly. Jason said he didn't. Sonny was dumfounded that Carly would lie to him the way she did to AJ 12 years ago. Jason pointed out that she was doing it for the baby's safety but Sonny didn't want to hear it. Sonny then asked Jason why he just stood by and watched Carly force him to give up his boys. Jason remained silent and Sonny left.

At the Crimson office, Kate instructed Maxie and Lulu in coverage for her upcoming wedding. She also mentioned having a back-up story in place, just in case Sonny gets cold feet. Kate opened up to the girls that the first time Sonny proposed, she was the one who had cold feet. Ric showed up and asked Kate to talk to Sonny regarding Anthony's implied threats against Kristina. Kate refused to try and manipulate Sonny. Ric then went straight to Sonny and advised his brother not to get pulled back into the mob game. Sonny was furious to hear about Anthony's actions but Ric assured his brother that he was in his corner when it comes to Molly and Kristina.

At home, Carly informed Jax that she wasn't pregnant and said she was sorry. Jax apologized for pushing her to have a child before she was ready and the whole paternity test issue was dropped. Jax went to a meeting at Crimson and told Kate that Carly wasn't pregnant after all. After Jax left, Kate read the girls the riot act for letting Jax barge into her office and ordered them to keep Jax and Sonny out of the same room from now on. Just then, Carly arrived and barged in on Kate. Carly advised Kate that she shouldn't plan on a big wedding, since Sonny would never go through with marrying her.

On the docks, Johnny got the gun away from Jerry, who replied that if Johnny kills him, the whole world will know Claudia was responsible for Michael's shooting. Claudia told her brother that Jerry has an unopened affidavit and if anything happens to him, it will be opened and she will be exposed. Johnny fired a warning shot and said he's willing to call Jerry's bluff. Claudia managed to convince Johnny that their best option was to walk away. Later, Claudia confessed to Johnny that Jerry was the one who stabbed her. Johnny wanted revenge but Claudia advised him to play it smart. Meanwhile, Jerry met with Alexis and gave her the affidavit, saying that if he dies, she's got an "insurance policy."

At G.H., Elizabeth told Spinelli that she didn't want to hear about Jason and Claudia. Whatever Jason's feelings for "Vixenella," it was none of her business, she said. Just then, Jason arrived and told Spinelli to zip it.

Wednesday

Carly informed Sonny that she wasn't pregnant. Sonny accused her of planning
to lie about it, had she been. Carly shot back that he wanted to break up
her and Jax; she then boasted about how she'd taunted Kate about Sonny's
failed relationships. Sonny demanded that they end the "cycle of anger" by
allowing him to see his children. Carly refused. Sonny pointed out that
whenever she goes to see Jason, she's putting herself in danger; Carly
stated that Jason would never put Morgan in danger the way Sonny had with
Michael. Sonny believed that Carly's main priority was getting back at
Sonny. Carly doubted that his relationship with Kate would last, but Sonny
argued that it would. They then called each other selfish. Max overheard
them mention the limo incident. After, Max asked Sonny why he'd marry Kate
when he still obviously had feelings for Carly. Sonny warned Max that he'd
kill him if he said anything and insisted that he loves Kate. Sonny then
asked Max about a "shipment" that was coming in. When Sonny went to check it
out, he was told it's no longer his business.

Lulu ran into Logan on the docks and they argued over her being with Johnny.
Logan didn't think Johnny was good enough for her and wished Lulu would give
him a second chance. Lulu replied that she forgave Logan, but intended to
stay with Johnny.

Maxie brought a bouquet of flowers for Spinelli. Jason offered to take care
of Spinelli, but Maxie insisted she do so. Spin subtly hinted that Jason
leave. Jason agreed, leaving Spin alone with Maxie. Later, Maxie told
Spinelli how much she cared about him. They were soon interrupted by Leyla,
who came to check on Spin. Maxie went to leave, which upset Spinelli. Leyla
then called him on his crush on Maxie, but he sadly stated that Maxie only
seemed to regard him as a friend.

Johnny questioned Claudia about Michael's shooting. Claudia replied that she
didn't want him to be involved. Johnny stated that he didn't trust her
methods; Claudia apologized. Johnny panicked when she admitted that Nikolas
knew Johnny had a hand in the shooting, but Claudia didn't think Nik would
blab. Johnny wasn't so sure. Claudia offered to give herself up to Jason and
explain that Johnny wasn't involved, but he thought that was a bad idea. He
made her promise that no one else would find out about it.

At the clinic, Nikolas met Dr. Matt and showed him around. After they
stepped away, Nadine blasted Leyla for talking her up so much to Nik, noting
that she wanted Nikolas to decide on his own if he wanted to date her.
Meanwhile, Nikolas reminded Matt that the clinic is in Emily's honor and he
expected Matt to do great work. After, the mayor stopped by to check out the
clinic and warned Nikolas that he'll shut it down if anything isn't up to
code. Later, a patient entered and collapsed on the floor. After, Matt
questioned Logan about medical drug shipments. Maxie ran into the guys and
warned Matt to steer clear of Logan.

Claudia ran into Jason on the docks and asked if he'd hear her out, but he
didn't want to listen. She was annoyed with him for not thanking her for
caring for him and Spinelli while they were sick. Morgan relented and
thanked her for caring for Spin. Later, Claudia asked Carly if she could
speak with her. Claudia warned Carly that Lulu is in over her head if she
dated Johnny, and appealed to Carly to help her break them up.... Jason was
annoyed when he returned to work and found Sonny there. Sonny answered that
he was just trying to help and angrily stormed out.

Thursday

At Jason's penthouse, Leyla shared with Spinelli about the kind of men she's attracted to, noting that they must kind, compassionate, generous, sensitive. Spinelli rushed to take notes and wondered but Leyla encouraged him to just follow his heart. As if on cue, Jax showed up to offer the Jackyl a job at Metro Court. "As a bellhop?" Spinelli quipped. Jax laughed, then reminded Spin that the office is right below Crimson, which means he'll be right below Maxie. Spin squirmed at the notion.

At the clinic, Lulu tried to keep Johnny from getting so defensive about Nikolas' recent revelation that Claudia is kind of a bad seed. Johnny assured Nik he's not planning on hurting Lulu, despite his family's poor rep around town. Later, Johnny blasted Lulu for trashing Claudia, his flesh and blood, in front of his face. Later, Dr. Matt confirmed to Nik that the drugs they prescribed to the woman who passed out are fake. Nik told him to test all the drugs in his facility, determined to catch the guy who's making a fortune off of counterfeit drugs.

Continuing their chat from yesterday, Claudia's plea for Carly to help split up Lulu and Johnny turned more serious as Claudia revealed that Johnny's life is in danger, adding that Jerry threatened to kill her little bro due to his previous threat against Alexis and her kids. Claud asked Carly to talk to Jerry. Carly responded that she couldn't help because no one can reach through to Jerry. Claudia was touched by Carly's sympathetic attitude, noting how ironic it was that Carly understood her plight. After, Claudia crossed paths with Jerry, who coldy warned her that before her pop kills him, she should inform Anthony that she and Johnny are accessories in Michael's shooting, adding that if she doesn't then he will. Later, Claudia broke the news to Anthony, who blasted her for being so stupid and called is daughter a whore.

At the Crimson office, Diane was going over the terms of Kate's pre-nup with Sonny (and gushing over a gorgeous gown) when Alexis walked in, shocked by what she overheard. "How could you be so misguided?" she asked Kate and reminded her that Sonny's chronically unfaithful (that's an understatement!). Kate countered that that's precisely why she's having the papers drawn up. Diane said Kate was smart and she’ll make sure the media maven is fully protected when Sonny inevitably goes crawling back to Carly. Alexis shrugged in agreement. After, Diane paid Spinelli a visit and shared the news about his job offer, feeling guilty about considering leaving Jason's side to work for “the industry.” Diane pointed out that working for Jax would be like payback for him (you know, since Carly's obsessed with Jason) and advised Spin to steer clear of Jax altogether.

At home, Jax prepared to jet off for an event with Crimson. Carly surmised that Kate's just using Jax (and stealing his time away from them) to get back at her. Jax apologized and tried to explain that his business ties in the magazine are important, which means he must be around Kate (and going to events with her) whether Carly likes it or not. After Jax left, Darrin showed up for Jax's tickets and Carly lost her cool when he suggested that Kate and Jax were romantically involved and had kissed. After, Carly stormed over to Spinelli's requesting he dig up as much dirt as he could on Ms. Howard, spitting that she's had it with Kate. Meanwhile, Kate told Jax that Carly delights in creating turmoil in everyone’s lives, adding that Carly’s clearly jealous of her.

Back at Crimson, Logan barged in and professed his love for Lulu adding that he hates how she let Maxie ruin their romance. "You could've saved me," he spat and walked out in a huff. Later, Kate and Lulu rushed off. Maxie was alone in Kate's office when Logan returned, called her slut and grabbed her from behind. When Lulu later arrived at Johnny's penthouse, she went to the terrace (conveniently located right across from Kate's office window), she was horrified to see Logan attacking Maxie.... At the docks, Jerry saw Alexis, who admitted she's no to keen on being seen in public with him, despite their amazing sex romp. They flirt/fought and wound up in a steamy lip lock.... Johnny told Nikolas he doesn’t want Lulu to find out he had a hand in Michael’s shooting.
