General Hospital, Update for Tuesday, July 21, 1992
===================================================

Paradise Lost/Lord of the Flies (Jason/Karen/Jagger)
====================================================

They are stranded on the island, along with Joseph Atkins and the convict.
However, the convicts are on the other side of the island.  Jagger, Jason,
and Karen have to catch fish for food.  Jagger has a flashback of his mother
leaving him and his two little brothers to run off with a man when he (Jagger)
was only 14.  Jagger and Karen experience romantic tension, and Jason and 
Jagger bicker as usual.  The convicts make plans to explore the island
tomorrow, and we are shown that Atkins has a gun.  (Meanwhile, the police
are searching for both Jason/Karen/Jagger and the convicts at the same time.)


Paul/Jenny/Ned/Julia
====================

Paul and Jenny are having another awkward conversation.  Paul tells Jenny they
still have feelings for each other.  Jenny continues to deny it.  Paul 
tells Jenny he loves her, and Jenny tells him to leave her alone.  Ned 
interrupts their talking.  Ned and Julia were having a business dinner earlier,
and the waiter mistook Julia for Mrs. Ashton.  Ned flipped out and yelled at
the waiter, but Julia calmed him down.  Julia brings up the kiss, and they
both agree that it was a mistake and meant nothing.  Later, Ned takes Jenny
to dinner at the hotel, and they have a penthouse room prepared.  During
dinner, Ned tells Jenny that he and Julia now own the hotel.  She is mad that
he didn't tell her before, and he says some sexist bullshit like "a wife's
function is to look beautiful and celebrate her husband's accomplishments."
[Gack!]  Jenny gets mad, and tells him off, but he manages to get her to 
forgive him.  They go up to their suite, and see Julia coming out of a suite
across the hall.  Ned forces Julia to agree that he didn't spend the night
at the hotel--that he spent it at the club.  Jenny and Ned go to have their
romantic evening, but the power goes off because of an electrical fire in the
basement.  Ned has to go fix it, and he runs into Julia.  He apologizes to her
for putting her on the spot and making her lie about where he spent the night,
and tells Julia that he lied to Jenny because Jenny's a jealous person and
might assume something.  Later, Jenny is dreaming of making love to Paul
when Ned wakes her up.....

Julia/Scotty/Dominique
======================

Will Shriner shows up to do the interview for the Home show with the Deception
guys.  They are all trying to suck up to him, and he takes an instant dislike
to Scotty.  However, he and Dominique flirt shamelessly the rest of the show.

[Not a whole lot happened on this show, sorry guys!]

Oh, and a note to that guy who whined that we were too mean to GH and 
complained about it too much:

It makes it much more fun to discuss its obvious shortcomings than to dryly
discuss the events which happen.  Soap operas are ridiculous==that's what
makes them fun. If you take them too seriously, they're not much fun at all,
in my opinion.  You should really lighten up.  It's not like there's nothing
to complain about....or it's not like we're criticizing some television
masterpiece......get a grip!   This is intended only as friendly advice and
not as a flame......
