    Bottom’s Up.

    Thursday, August 30 2012
    Luke tells Anna the truth about Robert, Molly and TJ make bucket lists, and Joe Jr. saves Tracy.


    Anna dreams she found Robin, then wakes up in her hotel room in tears. Luke is there to comfort her. She is not doing anyone any good chasing false hope. He is sorry she did not get a miracle. She thinks that she did because Luke has showed her it is possible to be happy. They enjoy their breakfast, but she is ready to go home and be ordinary. He is ready for anything with her. Later, after sex, they talk about Tracy’s new man. As they get dressed she mentions Robert. Luke stops her and tells her he has been meaning to tell her something. When he told Robert that Ethan was his son, he was lying.



    From her estate, Tracy leaves a message for Luke. He made a good decision leaving town to find Anna. He means a lot to her and she wanted him to know. Joe walks in and tells her he has something. He palms the cure and hands over a bottle of water. She doesn’t think it matters since they have been exposed but he would not be so sure. They start making out and fall to the couch. After sex, they agree they have chemistry, but he would like there to be more. He likes her. Later, Tracy and Joe start having symptoms. She checks on her dad and Joe can’t stand the thought of watching Tracy die – he puts the antidote in the water and shakes it up. Tracy returns and he gives her the water. She downs the bottle while he watches.



    At Kelly’s, Shawn tells Molly and TJ to stay off the streets because it could be dangerous. They start cleaning to keep busy while TJ debates calling his mom. Molly would find her dad if she had time – or learn Greek. They decide to make out their bucket list. Neither of them have had sex.



    Alexis meets Jerry in his cell. If he cares about her, he will take care of the people she cares about. She asks what he wants to get the counteragent for everyone. He wonders if that includes having one more night with her and she agrees, if it means saving her children. He tells her he can’t deliver the counteragent just for that. He wants a lot of money.



    A mob outside PCPD waits for Mayor Lomax, who is meeting with McBain. Since Anna is gone everyone is to report directly to him. The inflammatory newspaper headline "We’re Toast" is causing people to panic. Sam walks in and overhears him tell Lomax that Jerry is meeting with his lawyer now. The mayor is about to assure the citizens that the FBI is hoping for a successful resolution. John tells Sam that Alexis is Jerry’s attorney. She thinks she can get through to him. Later, Alexis arrives at the station an tells them Jerry wants $88,111,000. Sam recognizes the numbers as code for the "dead man’s hand," the cards Wild Bill was holding when he was killed.



    At the hospital Epiphany and Patrick realize many of the sick are passing out from not drinking water. Patrick calls Jason and wants to know when then find Liz. Jax and Carly overhear his message and Patrick tells them that Ewen knocked him out. But now, he needs a sample of Joss’s blood to see if he can find a counteragent. Patrick is nervous - he is not a researcher. Epiphany asks him if he is man enough to follow in his wife’s footsteps. Later, Shawn arrives and Carly thanks him for leading a prayer when Joss was sick. They look at all the sick people around them and Carly thinks this might be an opportunity to make changes. Shawn calls Alexis, but gets her voicemail. Alexis arrives later and Shawn tells her if he is going to die, he wanted to make sure he did this – and kisses her.



    Johnny knocks on Carly’s door, but Todd answers and tells him she is with her husband. Todd is not sure why Johnny left Carly alone with Jax anyway – the guy gave him the best handshake he has ever had. Todd accuses Johnny of being Jerry’s accomplice. When Jerry was looking for help he would go to a low life gangster. Johnny accuses Todd of wanting him to leave so he can tell Carly he is the one who caused the accident. Todd can’t wait to see the look on Carly’s face when he tells her what Johnny has done. Carly walks in and Todd leaves to find Jax. Johnny tells her there is nowhere he would rather be than here with her and they kiss.



    Todd arrives at PCPD and bribes a cop to see Jerry. He tells Jerry they have some business to discuss.



    Tomorrow’s Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:

    Jax asks Jerry, "What does terrorizing innocent people have to do with our father?"

    Todd yells at Sam and John, "Do you want your headaches to get worse? Or do we raise the money and give it to Jerry before we all wind up in the ground?"

    From Alaska, Spinelli tells Jason, "You don’t think Dr. Keenan is capable of hurting Elizabeth, do you?"

    Elizabeth asks Ewen, "Why are we still here?" He pulls a gun out and tells her, "We came here to get this."

    Hi All, I don’t post very often, but I read everyone’s post daily. Just wanted to throw my two cents worth in regarding the current story lines. I am totally enjoying the threat to all of PC via Jerry Jacks- soooo over the top and so very soapy. I loved how random people were collapsing in the hospital waiting room and everyone’s worried and concerned looks. I loved Molly and TJ’s bucket list- oh to be 15 again- so cute. I thought Alexis was great with Jerry, saying she would do anything and she meant anything to get him to stop the outbreak. Loved that Joe jr. gave his dose of (whatever it is in the bottle that will save him) to Tracy. She is so worried about Edward- love how she can be so snarky yet so loving towards her father- and that she is getting some…..
    Now the only thing that bothered me about today’s show and this is in no way an insult to the actor, because I think he is handsome, but did anyone else think that Johnny’s hair looked really weird today,? Sorry but I couldn’t concentrate on his scenes because I kept looking at his hair.

    Hi Everyone.

    I've been reading your post most of the week. I've missed so much! I'm like 3 episodes behind. I watched three episdoes last night and they all rocked! I'm really starting to get into some of the stuff. Especially when you watch so many episodes back to back. My hubby was also watching and asking a billion questions about what was going on and what was going to happen. I don't know! The spoilers are scetchy at best right now so I haven't been really paying attention. I can't believe they are bring back Duke Lavery. Not a huge fan but don't dislike him either. But really didn't he die….. sorry forgot I'm in soapland. SPOILER ALERT - Too bad about Jason. I understand from Southgirl that From (glad your wife is ok) was finially starting to really like him too.


    I've noticed the ton of new posters. That's awesome! Welcome new people.

    WatFan....The post from SouthGAgirl...about me liking Jason....was SOOOOO full of misinformation....

    But thanks for your well wishes for MRS FROM....

    OT -

    4Ever - I hope you have the best vacation ever! You deserver it my friend.

    Dubbs - just curious - how long ago was see a swimsuit model? LOL - I'm glad to here you are out playing around.

    Lily -was it your car stolen? Sorry I feel bad about those car seats. Hopefully whoever stole it will not just trash them but someone who needs them will end up with them. Maybe in the long run, it may save some babies life? I'm trying to find a silver lining for you. Where'd you leave it so I can go park mine there (haha its not quite that bad - just have an overheating problem right now - hopefully a new thermo will fix that)?

    I hate for an early comment to be OT, but I wanted to post this before the magic 8 ball brain kicks in.
    OT
    zachtopiammmmm - So sorry to hear about your friend's daughter. Car accidents seem like lightening bolts that change the lives of the loved ones left behind. Prayers of acceptance and healing to her family and friends. When I was in second grade one of my classmates that lived out in the country ran across the road and was struck by a car and died.

    TipsyTess - So sorry to hear about another loss of a child.

    pumpkin - I just talked to a friend of mine today who has had colitis issues since she was in her 20's. Due to some improper medical care, she's now advanced to full blown Crone's Disease, even though she had the surgeries to prevent it. She's now suddenly at the stage where the doctors are giving her chemo and her body isn't absorbing iron. Bless both of you.

    runnergirl - Welcome back. I can only imagine how busy your life must be. Hope you and the family can find some time together over the holiday weekend.

    OT

    From - Southgal doesn't do misinformation, I just think you are confused about your own feelings. LOL

    OT - more serious stuff -

    Mammajj - I'm so sorry for your situation. I think men get more dramatic as they get older and women start to mellow out. I told my 15 year old the other day, ALL men are idiots, you just got to find the best idiot - please don't take offense Scrimmage, Dubbs, From and any other male posters. I'm not going to presume or tell you about your feelings but please please make sure you protect yourself financial and also always put yourself first! I know that sounds selfish but the better you take care of yourself the better you will be able to take care of the great little guy in your life!


    To those who have lost loved ones - and it seems a few have this week - I'm really really sorry. I know, no mater the situation, its so tough.


    I've got to run - daughter has a date tonight (yes - an idiot). Have to pick up brother (another one) then stop at hospital to check on FIL (a third one). They don't know whats wrong but he's hitting on the nurses - so he'll be ok.

    Am I the only one who thinks Luke and Anna being together is just creepy and wrong?

    Posted by Scrimmage at Thursday, August 30 2012 02:20 PM

    The Dead Man's Hand??? Don't tell me they're going back to THAT old, stupid storyline about some supposedly cursed playing cards. Not good enough! I need to know why Jerry had to poison a whole town to get what he wants, and the DMH is not the answer.

    Neither is the chance to get busy with the suddenly very popular Alexis one last time, although for a minute there, I think she actually believed that she could save the whole town by giving it up to her ex-boyfriend. That must be some magic hoo-hah if she's THAT proud of it. I guess it runs in the family.

    Er..., um, by which of course I mean both Alexis and Sam have great confidence in their ability to use their sex appeal to get men to do what they want them to. (Whew! That was close!)

    Alexis and Shawn having End of the World sex? I'm okay with that.

    TJ and Molly? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!


    Well, I see Lily hunter, Maja and some others got their wish with Patrick calling in Alexis and Joss for blood tests, for all the good it will do with a brain surgeon in charge. Funny, but being a brain surgeon would usually be a good thing, but this is not Patrick's area of expertise, and no motivational speech by Epiphany is going to change that.

    I still can't understand why Todd isn't at his newspaper, although he was certainly responsible for the hilarious “WE'RE TOAST!” headline.

    I don't think it's a big deal that in the heat of the moment, Luke lied to Robert to save his life, and had to lie to Anna to keep Robert from catching on. She might not like it, but Anna won't overreact to the news. She's a SPY for Pete's sake! She's used to being lied to by friends and foe alike, and doing the same thing to them. Anna looked beautiful. I was laughing because poor Luke kept losing his fruit in the hot chocolate! (Why does everything I write today sound so dirty?)

    Despite myself, I can't help liking Scummy and Tracy together. I agree with Joe Jr. that there is definitely some chemistry there, and I'd like nothing better than for Joe Scummy Jr. to become the next Mr. Tracy Quartermaine. It will bring the Q's back into Sonny's orbit since Le Douche is now Sonny's son in law, and he would also be part of the Q family if Tracy goes for husband number five... or is it six? Number three if you only count gangsters. It just opens up a lot of possibilities.

    I don't think the FBI would cede their authority in case of this magnitude, and turn everything over to a small town Pennsylvania Detective who is out of his jurisdiction. Try explaining THAT to a Congressional Committee when they look into how this happened.

    FBI Director: “Ummm, well Senator, he was already on the scene and he USED to work for the FBI. And he's got REALLY great hair.”

    When Jax was making his way through the press, I swear I heard someone call someone (probably Jerry) an “S.O.B.” and they didn't abbreviate it. Did anyone else catch that?

    Happy Almost Labor Day Weekend Everyone,

    So is Jerry asking for possession of the Deadman's Hand or letting Alexis and Jax know that he is now the dead man? I've got to do some research on this SL as I wasn't watching at the time, but I believe this is the reason Jax and Sam came to PC chasing Luke. IMO bringing Jax's father into the current SL is further proof that Ewen is the third Jax. Maybe Lord Jax hooked up with Hels and Ewen was brought forth in a test tube.

    So I guess Scummy is going to be redeemed by giving Tracy the antidote he had to save himself. I'm not buying the love at first sight sacrifice thing, he knows way too much about the Solietos. If he really wanted redemption, he would have taken the antidote to the PCPD as Tracy assumed he would.

    I was just getting used to Anna and Luke as a couple and was falling for the normal business of holding hands as they strolled happily in love along the docks of PC. After all Robert is running around with Holly looking for his lost son right now. I wonder how Anna will react to the Robert/Ethan update that Luke delivered as they were packing...My guess would be that she's going to forgive him, but I'm only giving that guess 1 to 1 odds. I'd also give the same odds that Anna is going to call Robert, tell him the truth about Ethan, and add the story she heard about Robin from Crazy Heather. Here's hoping that when the Robin SL comes down to Duke vs. Luke, there's a third guy with gray hair standing in the shadows.

    Meanwhile McBat and Dante are chasing the wrong accomplice; Molly and TJ are making a bucket list that is beyond their years; Johnny is most likely going to tell Carly the truth that doesn't lead to baby Cheeto; and, most likely Todd is going to become hapless with Jerry, as he has with every other criminal in PC.

    Jazzjack -
    I completely agree with you about Johnny's hair. I missed half the dialogue because I was so busy trying to figure out what happened to his hair.
