The Secret is Out!

It's been a busy week on General Hospital! Are writers trying to distract us from the loss of one of our favorite characters (Jason) by bringing others back from the dead? I don't know about you but Jason's loss is felt even stronger by the revelation that his brother AJ is alive. Leave me your comments and we'll talk about the week's happenings. Here is my recap of Friday's episode.

Things got crazy in court for the hearing to have Kate committed. Diane represented Connie/Kate much to the disgust of Alexis. After trying to make Sonny look like he was just seeking revenge for getting left at the altar, Diane revealed that Kate was actually the alter and Connie is the true personality. As Alexis pointed out, if that were true then Connie should be in jail for causing the deaths of Cole and Hope. Connie insisted she didn't shoot anyone's tires out as Johnny squirmed in his seat. The judge ruled that Connie is free but this story is not over. The police will be looking into this and Connie could be charged with a crime.

Meanwhile Michael decided that he wants to see his father and goes off to find AJ. AJ and Alice were moving an unconscious Tracy to the boathouse but AJ was able to cover. Michael told him that Carly told him the truth about what she did to him. He also told him that Carly knows he is alive. The two head up to the main house to talk where Carly is confronting Monica about AJ.

Robin is frantic to get word to Patrick and after her failed phone call she is strapped to a bed. Meanwhile Duke arrives in Switzerland for damage control. Duke bursts into Robin's room acting as if he too is being held prisoner. Robin has a tearful reunion with him feeling very hopeful that her childhood hero will save her. They reminisce and Robin realizes that this is not Duke after all!
