General Hospital Update for Monday, 24-Jul-2006

I waited all weekend to see why Nikolas would kiss Robin and now we know why...Robin sees Patrick with Carly during her friendly date with Nikolas and was of course annoyed. Nikolas' attempt to intervene as Robin was about to give Patrick a piece of her mind was quite effective as she was able to walk right past him and Carly without so much as a word. Who knew that as Robin gushed to Nikolas about her hopes and dreams with Patrick, he was doing the same thing with Carly. And to my surprise, Carly was quite tame while Patrick was singing Robin's praises. Just as Robin is ready to confront Patrick, she finds that he and Carly left for the evening. They end up at Jake's and discuss heading toward the bedroom when Jason walks in and all bets are off. Robin and Patrick meet up later that night at the hospital and engage in their usual flirtatious bickering.

It's at the hospital that Emily catches up with Nikolas to obtain details of his "date" with Robin. Nikolas, still thinking about his conversation with Robin, tells Emily that he advised Robin to come clean about how she feels before it's too late and she loses him forever. That sparkle in Emily's eye insinuates that she gets where he is going with this advice. All I can say is stay tuned...

I think we all knew that Sam and Alexis working together would be as disasterous and Sam trying to squeeze into professional clothing. In any event, Alexis accuses Sam of stealing the Escobar file leaving Sam insulted. Alexis apologizes and vows to start over. Unfortunately, this gives Sam the opportunity to add this to the list of reasons that she has to ruin Alexis' life. The best place to start...on the docks with a very frustrated Ric where she takes advantage of his current misfortunes.

At the docks, Ric takes out the fact that Sonny kicked him out of his house on his cell phone by throwing it against a brick wall. You see, Ric came clean to Sonny about the dress before Jason (the non manipulator) could rat him out. He makes an almost believable statement trying to justify the purchase of the dress in hopes that Sonny will hit rock bottom and obtain the help that he needs to overcome the newly diagnosed bipolar disorder that Lainey thinks he has. Evidently, a bottle of pills with take care of that...now Sonny just has to take them. He can always ask Lucky about pill popping.

He probably won't get a straight answer from Lucky because he is too busy, in his drug induced dillusion, being jealous of Patrick and Elizabeth's relationship. What relationship you ask? The one that, in the real world, would probably get Patrick brought up on charges of sexual harrassment. It's just great that Lucky has Maxie, his supplier and good friend, watching out for him and his marriage. Which could end when he finds out that it is in fact Elizabeth that has the Escobar file. An affair with Dr. Drake would probably be the least of his problems.
