GENERAL HOSPITAL -- MONDAY NOVEMBER 16, 1992

**********************
It was an exciting day today, especially with the extremely
well-done Felicia/Ryan storyline. Her acting has been far
better than I've ever seen her do. I hope she gets an Emmy 
nomination for this. The music for these portions has been great
as well -- it really adds to the scenes.

Today's main features were:
1) All around Port Charles -- a grab bag including Jagger, Brenda, 
    Bluke (yes, he's trying to go into Luke -- PI -- mode) and Holly.
2) In the park, featuring Jenny, the Senator, Tracy and Marco.
3) Over the edge, with Felicia, Ryan and Mac.

***********************


ALL AROUND PORT CHARLES

Bill and Holly are in Sean's office, waiting to get some news about
the paintings. Bill can't understand why Tracy didn't check Constance's
credentials before the auction. Holly points out that there is a real
dealer named Constance Chapman, and that even if Tracy had checked the
credentials they likely would have been all in order. Still, Bill is
suspicious.

Sean returns and tells them that Constance has disappeared and that
they've called in the FBI. Bill isn't happy to hear about this <<This
seemed a bit suspicious to me, I wonder if Bill is involved?>>, and he
and Holly leave. Bill says that he may have to take things into his own
hands.

At Kelley's, Ruby is going out for a bit and leaves Jagger in charge.
Brenda arrives, ready to go to some dance place with Jagger, but he
won't close up the place til after Ruby gets back. He puts her to
work cleaning tables, which she does while really trying to seduce
him. He looks interested, they exchange a few innuendos, and he keeps
working.

Holly and Bill arrive there, and start making a list of anyone with
either motive or opportunity. They name the obvious: Tracy, EdQ,NedQ,
Julia, Scotty (Holly: Why Scot? Bill: Baldwin should be on any list of 
suspects.). Holly brings up another possibility: Nikki. After all, she
did disappear right after the auction.

Ruby returns and they tell her about the theft. They ask her if Jagger 
knew about her painting. He did, but she's sure he had nothing to
do with it. What about Nikki? Ruby caught Nik in her room once, and
Nikki would do *anything*. By this time, Brenda is listening in on their
conversation (none too subtley), and approaches. She is thrilled to hear
about the theft. Her painting was insured for $750,000 -- payable to
her. She's rich!

After Kelley's closes, Brenda fantasizes about she and Jagger on 
St. Tropez. They're sipping drinks and planning a trip around the
world together (I don't two will get too far on that much money). 
Jagger, interrupts her fantasy and they leave.


IN THE PARK

Jenny gets out of the Senators limo, and the Senator himself gets out!
Marco and Tracy are hiding in the bushes trying to tape the conversation.
Tracy is thrilled to see the senator and not his son. However, they
are too far away to catch much of the coversation. They bicker and fight
over who gets to listen, and I think that they move closer to Jenny and
Kensington in the process.

Jenny and the Senator talk about how no one could possibly know about the
"incident" since they were so careful to keep it quiet. Jenny assures
him that only her mother knows about the "affair", but that she is worried
about Tracy. He is sure that Tracy doesn't know anything. Jenny assures
him that she will keep quiet -- after all, Jack Jr. is just getting his
start in politics. (At this point, I was pretty sure that Jack Jr. was
the father after all -- but wait!).

They say goodbye, but Jack Sr. asks her not to go yet. He's thought about
her a lot over the years. She's made good with her life -- he knew she would.
She's thought of him, too. He tells her that it was morally and ethically
wrong for him to let things get out of control as they did, but she
tells him that she thought she loved him very much and that he wasn't 
responsible for what happened. (HA!) Besides, she is now very happy with
her life. He wishes he could say the same. His marriage is "pretty much"
in name only these days, he tells her. Jenny tells him she needs to
leave, and wants to walk home. He kisses her on the cheek, and leaves.

In the bushes, Marco sees that the tape recorder has been recording,
but doesn't know how much of the conversation he got ...


OVER THE EDGE

There is a replay of Friday's cliffhanger. Felicia is trying to get 
dressed, when Ryan comes at her again. He tells her that she won't
hurt him, when she grabs a knife (ice pick???) and stabs him again and
again. <<Okay, maybe this was a bit excessive, but she'd already tried
just knocking him out, and that didn't work, so I can see how she'd
be a bit out of control here>>. Mac arrives and calls her off him.

Felicis is pretty well out of it now. She keeps telling Mac "It's him!"
"He was going to kill me" And trying to tell him that Ryan is really 
Todd. Mac is his usual sensitive self: "I know -- now tell me what
the hell happened!". Ryan is losing a lot of blood, and they need
to get him to the hospital. Felicia gets dressed (puts jeans on with
her nightie), and they go to the snowmobile to radio in for a 
helicopter. <<Music during this, and most of the following scenes is
really spooky music-box type music.>>

Ryan gets flown into GH where Tom and Monica are standing by. They
can't understand Felicia flipping out and stabbing Ryan. They arrive,
and Felicia watches Ryan from a distance, and keeps asking if he is
dead. She tries to tell people that he tried to kill her. They seem
skeptical. Tom questions her, and he tells Mac that she is in shock and
will have to be kept for the night. However, she has no physical
injuries (this isn't looking too good for Felicia).

As they wheel Ryan by for surgery, he asks Felicia how she could do this
to him, all he did was love her. As Felicia is waiting to be admitted,
Sean arrives. He is relieved that she is okay. He is called out of the
room by one of his officers. They have the clothes that Felicia was
wearing, should they bag them and take them into evidence? Yes, Sean
says. Sean then tells mac that he is going to have to question Felicia
about what happened up there (now the music has become very sad) ...


***************************************
That's it for today. I'm really happy with the Felicia/Ryan storyline
<<could you tell?>> and can't wait to see what they do with it. I
know they'll think that Felica just flipped out, but it will be
interesting to see how they play that and when they realize that she
was right about Ryan.

Have a great week!

Sus.
