General Hospital Update for Friday, 25-Aug-2006

Happy Friday! And it was a busy one, believe me! And with that, here we go....
As we make our daily visit to Port Charles, we find that Lucky is still dealing with kicking drugs, Alexis and her daughters are coming to terms with her upcoming cancer surgery and Robin, Patrick and Sonny are still getting over April's death last week.
Patrick and Robin start things off. Patrick is inviting Robin to come back into the OR with him to consult, but she's not interested. She tells him that the lab is the best place for her right now, but Patrick's not buying it.
He rightfully tells her that April's death has brought back too many memories of Stone for Robin and the reason he wants her in the OR with him is because she's a talented doctor.
Robin says that even though Patrick has had a taste of what she has had to go through for the last 10 years, there is no way that he can even remotely know what it's been like--so he has no right to tell her what to do.
While this is going on, Sonny gets a call from the lovely Miss Sneed, GH's resident bean counter. She tells Sonny that April's bill and her personal effects are ready to be picked up. Sonny goes to GH to get her things, telling Miss Sneed off in the meantime. When going through her effects, he finds the letter that April was writing at the time of her death, which was addressed to Robin.
Robin reads it outloud after Sonny gives it to her and it was moving. Essentially, it told Robin to "fight the monster that is inside her" by showing others that there are options for people with HIV.
It makes the difference, because Robin decides to go back in the OR with Patrick!
On to Alexis. She is now on medical leave from the DA's office and is getting ready for cancer surgery. Sam is helping out anyway she can; starting with taking her and Christina to Alexis' preop appointment with Patrick.
Sam takes Christina down to the piers while Alexis is being seen--and runs into Jason. Christina asks Jason for a ride in his boat. Sam calls Alexis for permission and Alexis asks Jason to make sure the boat isn't shot at or explodes :))
Afterwards, Sam gives Christina money for ice cream, but Christina sees that it's gettin' hot between Sam and Jason. She goes over to Jason and says "Are you going to kiss her?" (Out of the mouths of babes!!)
Oh and let's not forget Alexis! She asks Patrick for a realistic evaluation of her chances and he tells her that she might not survive.
Alexis goes to Sonny afterwards, asking again if he will agree to let Rick raise Christina, should anything happen. Sonny as we know, is not happy about this.
Finally, Lucky. He still hasn't gotten off the pitypot and is really starting to be annoying. As he goes through withdrawal, he has been having dreams of Liz and Patrick having sex in their bed and still wants pills.
His loved ones are starting to realize that a rehab program would be the best place for him, but Lucky isn't having any of it. He says that going into rehab is the kiss of death for a cop and insists he can do it himself.
However, his behavior is so erratic that Liz doesn't want Cameron at home with him and is missing him terribly. Nicholas comes over and tries to talk sense into his brother and finally says he'll take him to his next NA meeting at GH.
A slight problem, however, in the form of Hurricane Maxie...Lucky runs into her at GH, and she's got pills for him. He's reaching his hand out to take them, but we'll have to wait till Monday to find out if he does! Stay tuned!
