Previews for the week of 21-Jun-2010

by Carol Banks Weber


  • Sonny seeks understanding and validation from Olivia.
  • Olivia tries to prevail upon Lulu to talk some sense into Johnny about leaving Kristina alone. But Lulu doesn’t care about anybody but herself and Dante, so she blows Olivia off with her trademark smirk.
  • Sonny includes Max and Milo (as well as Luke) in on his execution (of Johnny) plans.
  • Sonny and Alexis together try to reason with Kristina about Johnny. They fail.
  • Johnny makes several attempts to get Kristina to let this Sonny vendetta go. But it’s like talking to a stone wall. Even Sam gets in the act.
  • Alexis tries to strong-arm and guilt-trip Johnny into leaving Kristina alone.
  • Kristina remains bratty to her parents and anyone else about Johnny.
  • Claire and Johnny talk about bringing Sonny down.
  • Johnny and Olivia strike up another match.
  • Sonny whines to Jason about big, bad Johnny and Kristina. He previews that he will take Johnny out and then he wants Jason to take Anthony out.
  • Diane has terrible intel to pass on to Jason. He’s in Pentonville to stay.
  • Dante and Lulu open up Dante’s bachelor pad to Michael, as part of the custody agreement.
  • Carly secretly fumes that it’s Dante who gets to hold custodial rights over Michael.
  • Michael gives some love to Carly. He also advises her to knock it off with Jax and be together already.
  • Carly gives some love to Jax. She uplifts him as someone who is worthy to be her clan’s guard.
  • Carly shows Brook Lynn that she means business when she swears vengeance on Lulu and Dante.
  • Michael cops to some serious thought processes regarding Sonny, when discoursing with Dante. Like, he’s aware that Sonny, the mobster, isn’t someone to look up to.
  • Brook Lynn babysits Michael so Dante and Lulu can have sex.
  • It’s not too long before Michael catches Dante and Lulu pitching woo.
  • Sonny wants to check in on Michael, but can’t, because of Dante’s deal with the judge. Nobody puts Sonny in a corner!
  • Sonny will try to check in on Michael a second time – to hell with the deal! And to hell with Dante’s forbidding it!
  • Dante can’t help but observe Michael behaving like a rape victim. Rape isn’t what comes to Dante’s mind, but he’s vaguely aware this boy isn’t behaving right.
  • Claire picks Michael’s brain about Carter, in order to get a better handle on Franco.
  • Jason and Sam go over what they can do to get closer.
  • Sam stunts as Jason’s wife in order to get conjugal visits.
  • Sam and Jason do it in a phone booth.
  • Maxie shows Jason Franco’s crime scene photo, which she received too. He directs her to Claire.
  • Maxie shares her Franco info with Claire, including the recent photo and what Jason means to Franco.
  • Franco could send a crime scene photograph Carly’s way, too, via Josslyn.
  • Jax puts Claire and Dante up to do whatever is necessary to bust Franco.
  • Dante hits Claire up to let Jason go, so he can bring Franco out from the shadows. At first, Claire bristles at this. Then, after Jax’s influence, she relents, but reminds Dante that Jason better not use that opportunity to run, or it’s Dante’s career.
  • Dante and Claire agree to pool their resources to defeat Franco.
  • Dante drives to Pentonville to have Jason sprung in his custody.
  • Elizabeth yammers at Nikolas for sidling up to Shirley just to gain some advantage.
  • Luke’s marriage proposal receives a swift kick in the rear by Tracy. Man overboard!
  • Ethan attempts to assuage Tracy, but she will not hear of it.
  • Luke slips into the Quartermaine’s, but Tracy has the cops take him in for trespassing.
  • Luke must lay his hat at Lucky’s bachelor pad for the duration.
  • Lucky and Maxie seriously discourse. She’s probably bending his ear about that burden called Spinelli.
  • Patrick takes Emma to the park for some fresh air and brooding about Robin.
  • Patrick and Steve feud about a patient.
  • Patrick clobbers Steve. And Steve puts Patrick on suspension.
  • Patrick goes whining to Luke, hoping for some man time.
  • Patrick returns to General Hospital to continue his surgical rounds. Steve derails this quick.
  • Next week: Franco makes himself known again in Port Charles… Spinelli uses his computer skills to narrow the focus on Franco’s mom… Luke discourages Sonny from slaughtering Johnny… Sonny ignores Luke’s wisdom and his own (Lily, anyone?) past, by putting together a car bomb scheme to take Johnny out… Epiphany and Steve deliver baby-related upset to Elizabeth… Someone brightens Maxie’s day with a bouquet, but who?... Patrick and Lisa play a very dangerous game that will end in heart ache.
