General Hospital Update for Monday, 31-Oct-2005

Ric tried to convince Sonny that what happened with Reese wasn't a betrayal, because they didn't mean to hurt him. He told him that when Reese and him slept together, she was on her way to NY and Sonny was not doing anything to stop her from going, so they were not technically together at the time. He doesn't want to lose Sonny over "a mistake." Sonny said that he did not care, that He knew that he could not trust him from the beginning and should have stuck with his gut instincts. When Ric protested, "I'm family," Sonny said that Jason isn't bound by blood, but he's a better brother, and while he didn't ask permission to sleep with Sam, Jason never lied about it. He also said that Michael is not his blood, but that does not make him any less his son. "I am done with both of you," he snarled again as Ric left.

As the bridal party made their way down the aisle, Luke actually looked really happy for Lucky and Elizabeth.Nicholoas kept glancing at Emily, it seemed that they were somehow "connecting” during the ceremony. Lucky recited his vows, beginning, "You're just beautiful," and recalled "marrying" as teens, but now they are living up to their promises. "I promise to give you the best of myself. I loved you then, and I love you now." Liz admitted they had to "grow up a little bit" before finding their way back together. "I will never take you or our love for granted," she vowed. They exchanged rings and kissed during a nice swooping crane shot. Nik explained why the ceremony was in the ballroom in Windemere: he told the story of Stephans bacchanalia ball and how Elizabeth and Lucky watched the entire thing from the garden looking in the window and they had there first dance in the garden, then they did their first dance.

Alan told Emily that she looks so comfortable being at windemere and that she belongs "here, with your husband."

Outside, Nik asked Courtney if she was ok, and that it was an emotional day for everyone. She told Nikolas that she got the result of the paternity test back and that he was not the father, Jax is. Both were disappointed. Nik vowed to act as father, but Jax stepped in. Nik left, and Jax asked, how? Why? He offered to raise the kid as husband and wife, but Courtney basically said absolutely not because she loves Nicholoas. Jax told Courtney that that relationship will not last , because all you had to do was look at Emily and Nicholas during the wedding and you could realize that they are still madly in love with each other.

Meanwhile, inside, Luke told Lucky and Liz he "sorta lost my faith in the institution of marriage," but he's counting on them to change his mind. Brook Lynn asked Jesse to dance, they started too, but then ran off when he heard Maxie talking about how noone remembered her birthday..

An obviously tipsy Ric told Liz he regretted blowing his chance with her. Liz grabbed her bouquet for the toss, so Ric grabbed two drinks. As Maxie prepped for the bouquet catfight, she got a mysterious note. Alice caught the bouquet. Later, at Kelly's, Jesse wheeled out a birthday cake for Maxie . She blew out her 6 candles and they smooched. Nicholas comes inside from just talking to Courtney and knocks over some sort of column with flowers on it and Emily is rtight there to make sure that he is ok. Then he told Emily that Courtney just told him that she got the paternity results back and that he is not the father, Jax is. Emily tried to look as upset as possible, but everyone knows that deep down inside she was cheering. Meanwhile, Lucky removed Liz's garter and tossed it — into Luke's drink, so he danced a polka with Alice. He just grabbed her and started dancing and left Tracy there to sulk saying that this was an embaressement or something like that. .

Afterward, Luke found a sullen Lulu, who blasted him for missing her 17th birthday.

Jason remembered Robin, but, "I don't want your help," he snarled and hung up. Jason told a weeping Sam, "I am not afraid to die," but he is "afraid to see pity in your eyes." Sam begged him not to give up without a fight. He vowed to protect her from Manny, and left. Sonny's man at Rose Lawn reported that Carly is feeding herself. Then Robin called to say Jason could die, so he went to Sam, who said Jason is getting worse. Sam collapsed in Sonny's arms just in time for Jason to see them. "Why you being so selfish?" Sonny demanded. Jason insisted he won't live in a wheelchair or an institution or make Sam take care of him. Sonny said Sam would die for him, and, "You don't spit on that." Then Sonny ordered him to stay alive. Sam came downstairs with a bag. “Are you leaving?” Jason asked. Meanwhile, Robin was invited to speak at a New York AIDS conference.


At Windemere, Ric drunkenly complained about Sonny's obsession with betrayal, then climbed atop a table and proclaimed, "I slept with Reese!" Liz and Lucky cut the cake, smooshed it into their mouths, then smooched.
