GH fans...warning spoilers inside!!!
found this on line had to share!!
Previews for the week of 14-Nov-2005
by Carol Banks Weber
Don’t look for any light at the end of this tunnel, the after-effects of the train wreck, the multiple dirt avalanches, the explosions, the gas leaks, the copperhead snake, the shoot-outs and near-misses linger on, and on for weeks. At least two more.
At least most of the survivors concerned have left the wreckage, onto safety outside. Except Sonny, Sam, Jason, Robin, Manny and Carly. But their day will come.
Don’t forget Manny’s latest, busy handiwork: Somehow, the dude found time to scavenge together and set up a complicated series of explosives to go off throughout the tunnels at his command.
For most of the post-train-wreck adventure, Reese steadfastly adheres to Sonny’s side, her primary concern to ease his claustrophobia and be of comfort to the survivors. Until this week. Her body—the injury to her rib and her lungs—just plain gives out. Plan on an elaborate “deathbed” scene, and a memorial service later on.
As survivors run around like chickens without a head (and in Jason’s case, a chicken with a severe headache), Manny’s detonator bounces around from Dillon and Georgie’s clueless hands to Reese’s, as the dying woman’s last act accidentally serves to discharge a heavy artillery of fire power… just as Manny wanted.
Reese puts on a noble act, but deep inside, she knows she’s a goner. Before she goes, to the great soap opera heaven in the sky, she puts Ric at ease about their one-night stand and her abiding love for him. And, she blesses him with the commandment to love thy wife and children. Good-bye, Reese.
For Sonny, just as rescue seems imminent, Reese bestows good will and peace on earth, her final thought shared, that of Carly’s fortune in surviving all this at the end and meeting up again with him. Then, good night, sweet FBI agent, go be with your son in the heavens.
Reese’s passing puts a pause in Ric’s and Sonny’s step. But a pause because a) Manny’s still running around loose, threatening their women, b) the NuCarly is out loose as well, and God know what she’s up to now, and c) Alexis’s heart goes ka-poof for a split-second back at GH.
Because of Reese’s tender, beatific influence, Ric snaps back to the man he used to be before he got waylaid by his Sonny obsession, the man who should’ve been devoted to Alexis, Kristina and their newborn baby.
Following the C-section, under less-than-pristine circumstances, both mother and baby are not doing as expected, they’re doing worse. Alexis could hemorrhage. Her baby with Ric could fail to survive as well. Picture Dr. Robin as the harbinger of such scary news for Ric. They need to get the hell out of that hell-hole. The baby makes it out of there, to GH’s restorative powers.
Delirious but still coherent enough, Alexis bestows upon Ric her heart’s desire, him, always, all along. Ric melts.
Mac, the wet blanket, douses Nikolas’s hopes to be a hero inside the tunnels again. The second Mac’s back turns, Nik sneaks back inside, because there are still survivors requiring his immediate attention.
Jax, Mac and Jesse play heroes in the wake of the train wreck. Jax just wants Courtney safe and sound, out of there. Mac will not rest until his niece Robin is also safe and sound. They battle time, and the consequences of dawdling under such tremulous conditions, like, that stink in the air that could blow them all to kingdom come.
(Meanwhile, Sonny supposes – wrongly – that Carly’s making herself scarce in those tunnels… trying not to freak. At this very moment, though, Carly’s being escorted to Laura Spencer’s house, I mean, Rose Lawn by Lorenzo.)
The second Lorenzo turns his back on Carly, she’s out of Rose Lawn, and back to the scene of Manny’s crime, the train wreck, hoping to be Jason’s savior. (She’d overheard that her best friend remains in jeopardy amidst the wreckage.)
Manny arises from the ashes like a demented phoenix, gun blazing, mind working overtime. The man’s a machine, set to blow.
Robin takes it in one of her limbs from a bullet in Manny’s gun.
Manny closes in, ready to snuff out Sonny’s life when Jason intercepts, blade hitting Manny’s flesh. That’s probably not enough to stop this maniac.
Jason and Sam backtrack into the tunnel, hoping to stumble into Carly. They commit the stupid error of turning their backs on a felled but not out Manny, who promptly grabs a hold of his detonator.
Jason and Sam deduce from happenings around them that Manny’s detonator can and will do severe damage in a few minutes. Their first instinct, to disarm every last explosive planted throughout the tunnel, fast as they can, before others are killed.
Carly and Jason experience a reunion of sorts, but before they can do anything about it, Manny’s explosives are triggered into the blast, sending them flying in the air, then hurtling down into the deep.
So, here’s where Dillon and Georgie come in, just as Manny turns to flee, oops!, butterfingers!, there goes his detonator. Dillon and Georgie stare at it, confusion spreading over their faces.
Assured of Carly far from the premises, Sonny and Sam book it out of there, before they’re left as mincemeat by the impending blast.
Jason takes a beat longer, too long, and before he knows it, the dying to dead hand of Reese slips onto the ON button of the detonator, setting firepower in motion.
Sonny and Sam are in the clear, but apprehensive as to Jason’s whereabouts, sure that he has been lost back in the wreckage after the explosion. He has been.
Luke arrives at the brilliant idea of triggering another explosion, which will slightly open up the closed long enough to ferret out a, hopefully, still alive Jason. Sonny barely hesitates at this idea, however hazardous and insane; it’s his best friend, after all, down there.
Luke gives it a go, but Jason still can’t be undug.
Sonny, with Sam, observes what they assume to be Jason’s final moments on earth. Naw, Jason (and Carly) are just lodged inside a mineshaft.
Sonny and Sam deal with the loss of Jason in their lives, without any idea that he is a) buried down there with Carly and b) still breathing.
Knowing of Carly’s presence (with the discovery of her St. Christopher medal), Jason, with Sam, had gone in search of her before something bad happened. Carly thought the same thing back at Rose Lawn earlier; that’s why she headed back, for Jason.
Above, Sonny and Sam conduct an impromptu, heartfelt memorial for their Jason. Below, far below in a mineshaft, Jason’s with Carly, catching up and showing off to the audience why they became best friends, defying convention.
For once, Jason doesn’t balk at Carly’s next plan to rescue themselves out from the depths. But then her plan isn’t so kooky, they reach higher ground.
Sam does a double-take of epic proportions as Jason rushes into her arms. Robin catches every last bit of this romantic movie, inwardly pained. ‘Caaaaaaause, as she entrusts a confidence to Nikolas, Jason still does it for her. (Oh yeah, Robin and Nikolas greet each other as ole buddies after all these years.)
Courtney bends over in agony, from cramps, beside herself with guilt and fear over her unborn baby’s condition.
Dr. Meadows advises Courtney and Jax to give it a specific amount of time, 24 hours, before giving in to full-blown panic.
Nikolas declares his undying soul-mate love for Courtney. Courtney cannot deny the same abiding feeling for him, either, even though, it’d be a lot easier for her to just stay married to the father of her unborn baby, Jax.
But then Jax looks so cute and paternal, helping Courtney tend to Alexis’s newborn Molly. (Alexis is out for the count, on death’s door.)
In conclusion, Courtney lets her feeling override her common sense, knocking Jax out of the running for her affections. That privilege stays with Nik.
Jason’s hurting real bad. Without Robin’s experimental cure, he’s done for. That’s the message Sam tries to impart to him.
Dr. Noah Drake, portrayed originally by rock musician Rick Springfield, makes his surprising return debut. He’ll be of great assistance to Dr. Robin, reacquaint himself with his former love, Bobbie and introduce his grown, troublesome son.
Robin considers changing permanent residence back to the town she grew up in. But, she’s not entirely welcome.
At GH, Lucky’s heart stops beating, but not enough to cause permanent, irreparable damage. It is Miracle Hospital, after all. Ditto for Alexis.
Lucky defeating death like that puts a different spin on Luke’s anti-family perspective.
Never mind Lucky, Luke. What about your other biological child, Lulu? If Luke doesn’t do something soon to make up for the lost years, he’ll lose his daughter forever.
Luke goes introspective, but he doesn’t turn into a full-blown sap. The anti-hero acts up, as per usual.
Lulu gives her old man the ole Spencer lip. Luke ratchets his spawn down a few pegs, which steams her.
Resolved in excommunicating that old fartknocker of a terrible father figure from her life forthwith, Lulu clings to Lucky and Elizabeth instead. The last thing this young, working class, married couple needs right now, however, is another mouth to feed and an attitude to adjust.
The last thing. Lucky’s medical bills add to the stress of an already stressful situation, without adding a mouthy, belligerent teen with a Luke on her shoulders. After a serious once-over, Lucky and Elizabeth let Lulu down, by advising her to seek residence elsewhere, like back where she was.
Lucky and Elizabeth also counsel Lulu to keep trying with Luke, he’s not that bad. Lulu thinks they’re high.
Skye and Dillon work on Luke to change his personal code to include parenting all of his children, namely, tending to a daughter he neglected for far too long.
Carly grows single-minded about ditching the sanitarium and hooking back up with Sonny, her way or the highway.
Sonny lays down the law and a few facts of life for Carly, about Carly (and them together), whether she likes it or not.
Carly lacks whatever reliance on Sonny’s word she used to possess. But the abiding love, that’s still holding strong.
Following her stay at Rose Lawn, she does check out soon, Carly continues working on her mental and emotional well-being with Dr. Lainey.
Lorenzo commits himself to Carly, as the man who will ensure her well being and happiness. Carly, however, commits herself to another matter (man?) entirely.
Ric endeavors to make up for his inattentiveness, by becoming the best damned husband and father Alexis and her children ever had. But first, he must win Alexis over. She recovers from post-C-section and heart trouble to push him away again.
Lucas comes out of the closet to the rest of his family and friends, as a gay man, previously presumed straight.
Next week, and in several weeks to come: November 24th is a rerun, November 25th is a day without soaps… Helena menaces Courtney and her unborn child, with presumptions about the Cassadine heir… Courtney must act fast before it’s curtains for them… Lulu can’t stand Luke or Tracy, but likes Skye just fine. Skye takes pains to get to know the young daughter of Luke, and to see where she’s coming from, which wins points… Lulu sees to it that Luke and Tracy suffer at every turn… Can nobody end the evil, sinister force that is Manny Ruiz? Seems so, ‘cause he’s still on the warpath… Jason will be good to nobody, ‘cause he’ll be dead, if he doesn’t get off the holding pattern about his health already. Robin’s experimental medicines cause Jason some harsh symptoms… The roofie-stalker plot turn imperils Brook Lynn (think, monologue) and soon dooms Diego, forcing his father Lorenzo to do what’s right, even if it pains him… Tracy better lay off, or Sam’s liable to—too late…
