    No One's Getting Voted Off.

    Thursday, April 01 2010
    The judge has a warning for Coleman, Lucky and Dante target Kiefer, Robin testifies and Tracy has a plan.


    At Kelly's, Kiefer tells Dante that bringing up the beating isn't really helping Kristina, but Dante wants to make sure it never happens to her again. Dante questions Kiefer about the night she was abused. Kristina puts up a good front as Kiefer talks, but Dante is wary of Kiefer's smarmy behavior. Kiefer leaves and Dante asks Kristina if their conversation awhile back about guys who used girls for sex was about Kiefer.



    Lucky meets Maya outside of his old house, which used to be Mary Mae's, and they get acquainted by talking about Mary Mae, the house and Edward. Lucky gets a call and Maya leaves. Lucky answers his phone to Dante who thinks they have a lead on Kristina's attacker.



    Lucky meets with Dante at Kelly's and they agree Kiefer has some issues. Lucky recalls how guarded his parents were and notes parents have covered up worse things for their kids. Lucky says he will interview the kid who had the party Kiefer was supposed to go to and Dante will talk to the neighbors. They reconvene after questioning people and Lucky learns Kiefer left the party furious and Dante learned a car matching Kiefer's almost side swiped a neighbor's that night. Dante and Lucky summon Kiefer back to Kelly's and play good cop bad cop while trying to get answers out of him. Kiefer says he did nothing wrong – Kristina screwed up big time and it's on her. Lucky wonders if he's saying she got what she deserved.



    Ignoring Tracy's disdain for her, Skye says hello to Luke and meets his son Ethan. Tracy asks Skye what exactly she's been up to. Edward brings Maya to the casino and is thrilled to see Skye has returned. Some bickering ensues and Tracy leaves. Luke asks Ethan to get Maya and Edward out of there so he can be alone with Skye. Ethan obliges and once alone, Luke asks Skye why she returned. She remains coy and they flirt as Tracy returns with Jax, who she convinced to come with her by saying she had a project that would catch Carly's attention.



    Nikolas comes to Elizabeth's house and orders Helena out. He then notes Elizabeth has the paternity test results and encourages her to open it. She does and tells him he's going to be a father again. Helena leaves and Nikolas knows Elizabeth is disappointed the baby isn't Lucky's. She says this baby was her last chance to be with Lucky and to make things up to him. She does ask Nikolas to be a good father though and to be available and present. He says that's the way it should be and promises to be better at being a dad. Nikolas knows they won't be together but is hopeful they can be a family.


    Helena gives the lab tech an envelope of money thanking him for his work with Nikolas' independent test. She tells him no one can ever know Lucky is the father.


    Kate and Coleman walk out of his sequestered hotel room in the Metro Court and make out. They get caught by the judge and Kate scampers off. The judge orders Coleman to use some restraint or he will have to live with the repercussions.



    Downstairs at the Metro Court, Olivia shows Johnny a brochure of a resort stay she won and he's excited, but he can't go until after the trial. He leaves and Kate walks up to her cousin wondering whose side of the trial she's on. Olivia reminds her Sonny shot their son, a cop, and she's done making excuses for him. Carly approaches and has words with Kate about her knowing Dante was Sonny's son. After Carly walks off, Kate warns Olivia if he gets acquitted, Sonny will come at her with his charm in full force in order to build a bridge between him and Dante. Olivia says he can put the pressure on until Hell freezes over, but it's up to Dante if he wants a relationship with his father.



    Patrick and Robin argue about Sonny at the hospital and Robin gets a summons to appear in court.



    In Sonny's office, Diane tells Jason and Sonny his outburst in court could get him a life sentence for premeditated murder. Jason wonders if they can get the jury back on Sonny's side and she thinks they still have Coleman, but they've ruined their chances of painting Sonny as a loving father who was protecting Carly and her baby. Once Sonny and Diane go to court, Carly meets with Jason who tells her Robin is testifying. He adds that Carly can be the one to turn things around for Sonny.



    In court, the judge reminds everyone to be on their best behavior and lets the jury know this isn't reality TV and no one will not be voted off the island for causing trouble. Johnny is recalled to the stand and is questioned about the night of Claudia's party. Once he's done, Johnny is unhappy he didn’t get the chance to tell the jury what Sonny said to Claudia that night, but Claire assures him she got what she wanted from him. Robin takes the stand, as Patrick sits in the back. Robin talks glowingly about Sonny and how he treated Stone and created the AIDS memorial wing at the hospital. Diane thinks Robin may have saved Sonny's character, but Sonny knows Claire isn't finished yet. Claire starts to turn things around when she asks Robin what Sonny said about Claudia at the party. Robin is forced to admit Sonny called Claudia derogatory names and that he said, "Claudia has lied to us for the last time."

    Ya know, only on a soap would a guy like Coleman who's so tied to Sonny - and even involved with Sonny's ex-fiancee - actually be allowed to remain on Sonny's jury. It's just so completely silly to me.

    Did Johnny just admit on the stand that his angelic sister, whom I thought you would need a silver bullet to kill, was actually responsible for Michael's shooting.

    I like Maya. I can't wait for her and Ethan to get together.

    When Dante was first talking to Keifer, I could tell he could see right through his b.s.

    Why is it that nobody had a problem Sonny's way of life until he shot Dante? Olivia was saying how Sonny shot an unarmed cop. I'm sure Sonny has shot a lot of unarmed people.

    Coleman and Kate, that is one odd couple.

    Helena said she was going to destroy the Spencers with one of their own. For what she is planning, won't the child have to be older or just about grown to turn him against the Spencers. Helena is a little long in the tooth. Not too sure she's gonna be around long enough to make that happen. But who knows, the way the age kids on soaps.

    cowboys fan - when you wrote, "Why is it that nobody had a problem Sonny's way of life until he shot Dante?" do you mean people on this board or characters on GH? I'm not sure who you were referring to, so I don't want to answer until I know what you meant.

    The people on the show. I would never post about posters.

    Cool. Well, quite frankly, apart from Olivia, who's Dante's mother, I really don't think that many people on GH really have a problem with Sonny's way of life - which is one of my gripes. For Olivia, it makes sense to me. Sonny shot her son - unarmed cop or not - I think Olivia has a right to be ticked off at Sonny about that. I also think that, until it touches you directly, I think it's easier for people to live in denial.

    Olivia saw Sonny shoot Karpov at point blank range - Karpov may have been armed, but he had no chance to get his gun, so that didn't matter. Karpov was another mob guy or bad guy or whatever, but basically a stranger to Olivia, so I think she chose to gloss over it or dismiss it. BUT, when Sonny shot her son, that's not something she could choose to overlook.

    Now, if it had been me, seeing Sonny shoot Karpov like that would have been enough for me to turn and run the other way as fast as possible. But then again, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't make for a very interesting soap opera character - unless people are fascinated by 37 year old homebodies who live with their sister and with three cats and spend their free time watching sports or playing on their new toy - Nintendo DS. Gosh, I think I just bored myself to sleep and it's my life! LOL

    Well, at least they didn't have Nicolas hiding the paternity results from Elizabeth, just had him underestimate Helena . . . again. I rather think they might pair Maya with Lucky, or maybe play the brothers off each other--like they haven't done that before. Olivia, get over yourself. Glad Kiefer will be revealed as the abuser soon. What a creep.

    I thought Maya would be a great match for Lucky Spencer.

    SPOILER TALK

    Hi all.

    I just saw a promo that Keifer dies. I just thought he
    got hit by a car. I had no idea he was going to die.
    Don't get me wrong I am happy to see that slime go but
    Wow.
    Dante & Lucky= Super cops.
    Lucky & Maya would make a cute couple.
    Also I could see Sky & Ethan together. That would be hot.
    Coleman always makes me LMAO.
    Oh & Robin lokks like she gets to go on record now.
    Maybe she will save Sonny from going to jail. That should
    make some smoke come out of Patty's ears.

    cowboys fan--some people have had an ongoing problem with Sonny--like the Quartermaines, especially Edward and Monica. Olivia you mentioned, and she always had a problem with it, as she kept Dante's paternity a secret. Alexis also got real negative about Sonny after her sister Kristina was killed in a warehouse bombing that was mob-related. She has mellowed about him over the years. Jax has always been a Sonny-hater, but that's more about having the same taste in women and losing them to Sonny than a principled stand. In short, quite a few people disliked/hated Sonny way before he supposedly killed Claudia. The trial just added to the anti-Sonny contingent.

    **That should be LOOKS like*******
