In the Hands of the Jury

Sonny's trial was pretty uneventful (if you ask me). Kate almost seemed like she was about to snap while on the stand especially when pressed about the gun.

Anthony attempted to lie and insist that he "Saw" Sonny shoot out his tires. Alexis showed that his eyesight was not as good as he claimed.

Much to Sonny's shock, Alexis called no witnesses and both sides gave their closing arguments.

Starr's emotional plea on the stand might sway the jury but ultimately, the prosecution had nothing but circumstantial evidence against Sonny. Surprisingly, John McBain was not in the courtroom (or was he? I don't recall seeing him)

Jason did show up to court and observed Kate's shaky emotional state.

Johnny and Carly cut out of the courtroom to go back to her house where she introduced him to Josslyn. What would Jax think about his daughter being exposed to another mobster?

Tracy saw Luke and Anna at Kelly's. She confessed the truth behind her marriage to Anthony and Luke thought about how he could help her out of this mess. Anthony arrived to find Tracy and Luke together and showed how he has the upper hand in their relationship. Will Luke get involved to help save Tracy?

Heather ran into Sam at the hospital. Sam seemed threatened at first by Heather especially when Heather grabbed the DNA paperwork out of Sam's hands. Heather threatened to tell Jason (and anyone else who would listen) the truth. Sam then told Heather that she would tell her precious son how Heather sold her cousin's baby. The women agreed that it would be best for both of them to remain silent.

Will Heather actually keep Sam's secret?

Kelly promised Sam that she would know who her baby's father is within 24 hours. Will Sam get the answer that she hopes for? Personally I am thinking that it is Franco's baby afterall and since it is too late to abort, what will Sam do?

With Ewen working on getting Kate committed, will Connie materialize again before he gets the paperwork?

Matt goes to see Maxie and pleads with her to tell the truth. He confesses that he loves her and just when it seems that she might give in, Spinelli literally falls into the room. Maxie then doesn't say whatever she was going to and instead tells both men to leave her alone.

Matt gets angry at Spinelli who apologizes but tells Matt that they cannot fight now, they have to figure out how to save Maxie from herself.

Next week Sam finds out who her baby daddy is. Will she then finally tell Jason the truth?
The jury will come back with a verdict. Will they find Sonny guilty?
How much longer can Kate keep Connie under wraps with so many people now knowing that she is not herself? It is only a matter of time before Spinelli or Ewen exposes the truth about Kate/Connie.
What will Sonny do about Michael's defiance?
Will Michael continue to stand by Starr?
What is Heather's plan for Luke?
How long before Steve realizes the mistake he has made by taking responsibility for Heather?

Anticipating Justice

The morning of Sonny's trial arrives and many people involved are looking for justice.

Starr is convinced of Sonny's guilt, mostly because she believes Anthony. Michael comforted Starr who felt like she wouldn't be strong enough to handle testifying.

Michael shared his belief that Starr can go on without forgetting Cole and Hope, but still live in spite of her loss. Michael assured Starr that she is strong enough and told her that not many people would have had the courage to confront Anthony the way she did.

Kate struggled to keep Connie in control as she and Sonny prepared to leave for the trial. She spoke to Ewen who warned her that going to the trial would be a huge mistake. He urged her to tell Sonny the truth about her condition.

Elizabeth and Ewen talked about Matt and Spinelli's quest to find Maxie innocent. Elizabeth apologized for their amateur sleuthing and they laughed about their suspicion of Ewen.

Spinelli told Jason what he found out about Kate's mental condition. Jason wondered if he should tell Sonny but decided that without proof Sonny wouldn't believe him. Spinelli set off to do what he does, hack into the doctor's records. Jason then decided to meet up with Sam, who told him she had a routine doctor's appointment.

John McBain warned Sonny that he would be watching to make sure that Sonny doesn't get away with murder again.

John met Sam at the hospital and gave her the DNA sample for testing. Elizabeth saw Sam talking to John and when Jason arrived to accompany Sam to her doctor's appointment, Elizabeth innocently told him Sam was talking to "some guy".

Steve told Maggie that his mother was in town and told her about her history. Maggie questioned why Steve would give her a second chance and he told her that he was a murderer and felt he couldn't judge his mother.

Ewen continued to work at getting Kate/Connie committed as Spinelli managed to hack into his records and find out what Kate's medical condition is.

Sonny and Kate arrive at the courthouse to witness Michael and Starr in an embrace. What will Sonny think of Michael's defiance?

Sonny's trial promises to be full of fireworks as Anthony, Starr and Kate testify. In coming scenes, Connie comes through on the stand. Will Kate be able to control Connie or will Connie help prove Sonny's innocence?

Haunted Pasts

Luke was shocked to find Heather at his door as Steve and Olivia scrambled to figure out where she disappeared to. Heather was not happy to find Anna living with Luke and both Luke and Anna wondered how it was that the doctors saw fit to release her.

Luke tried to explain to Anna just how dangerous Heather is.

Ewen worked on getting Kate/Connie committed as Matt and Spinelli eyed him as a new suspect in Lisa's murder.

Carly and Kate/Connie argued loudly at the MetroCourt restaurant and Kate struggled to keep Connie at bay.

Spinelli found out that Ewen was working on getting Kate committed and called Jason to tell him that his instincts were right about her.

Matt and Spinelli discovered that Ewen was not a suspect and Matt apologized to Ewen but explained that Maxie was trying to punish herself for something he knows she didn't do.

Steve apologized to Luke after finding Heather at his place and warned his mother that she needed to behave.

Heather secretly planned to deal with Anna and Luke in the future.

While Sonny slept, Connie called Johnny and propositioned him again. Johnny refused her again.

Coming tomorrow: Sonny's trial begins as Kate begins to unravel. Carly still has no idea that Kate/Connie came on to Johnny.

She's Baaaack!!!

Olivia arrives at Steve's apartment only to be harrassed by Heather. Steve introduces his mother to his girlfriend and after an uncomfortable encounter, Heather disappears into the kitchen and then takes off.

Olivia told Steve that Heather is crazy but Steve is also losing his mind to have allowed her to move in with him.

Michael plans to have dinner with Starr but then is called away by an urgent call from Carly. He sees Sonny who again asks him to stay clear of Starr. Michael lies to him but does reassure Sonny that he believes in his innocence.

Carly and Johnny tell Michael about their relationship and Michael angrily accuses his mother of making bad choices. He storms off and heads back home.

While Michael is gone, Starr goes to the Quartermaine's to speak with Anthony. She tells him that if he doesn't testify against Sonny, she will tell the DA what he knows.

Tracey is upset when no one acknowledges her birthday. Luke shows up and presents Tracey with a horse!

Kate insists that Ewen "fix" what is wrong with her and he tells her that the only way to get control over Connie is to check in as an inpatient. Kate refuses and leaves his office to go meet Sonny.

Ewen calls to attempt to have Kate committed because he believes that "Connie" is a danger to herself and others.

John and Anna brainstorm about what Kate's motives could possibly be to lie about the gun. Anna and John agree that it makes no sense for Kate to set Sonny up.

Jason asks Sam if she found the answers she was looking for and Sam avoids telling Jason the truth. He tells her to let the whole Franco thing go so they can focus on the coming baby. Sam agrees but Jason can tell she is hiding something.

Jason tells Sam about what happened with Kate and how Sonny chose to believe Kate over Jason. Sam got angry that Sonny doesn't recognize Jason's loyalty to him. Jason told Sam that no man wants to believe his woman is lying to him.

Heather shows up at Luke's door much to his shock/horror.

Tomorrow Sonny's trial begins and with Kate insistent upon standing beside him, will she be able to control Connie? Will Starr's testimony help to convict Sonny?

Tracey confides to Luke about why she is married to Anthony and he agrees to help her.

Will Sonny figure out that Michael has been lying to him about his involvement with Starr?

How will Olivia and Steve handle his new roommate?

The Truth Always Comes Out

Sonny refused to believe that something could be wrong with Kate as Jason tried to explain. Jason insisted that he did not accuse or disrespect Kate and tried to warn Sonny that there is something wrong with Kate and he needed to be aware.

Ewen and Elizabeth's lunch date was interrupted by Connie who barged in much to Elizabeth's surprise. Elizabeth made a hasty departure but privately asked Ewen if Kate was drunk. Ewen told her only that she was not "herself" and apologized for Kate/Connie's behavior. Meanwhile Connie texted Sonny in an attempt to have him "catch" Kate with another man.

Back at the hospital, Elizabeth was confronted by Spinelli and Matt who have decided to join forces to find the real killer of Lisa Niles. Elizabeth told them that it was Ewen who rescued her after Lisa had thrown her overboard. Spinelli and Matt both felt that there was now a new suspect and wondered why Ewen hadn't come forward before to admit that he had saved Elizabeth.

After hearing Sam's confession about what Franco had done to her, John offered to help. He told her that since he had FBI connections and the bureau was investigating Franco there were DNA samples that could be used for a paternity test. John repeatedly urged Sam to be truthful with Jason about what she found out. John told her that Natalie (his baby's mother) said she was trying to protect him by not telling him the truth and he believes Jason needs to know now, not later.

Alexis tried in vain to get Maxie to tell her the truth. She reminded her that if she didn't come clean soon, no one would be able to overturn what she had confessed to. She reminded Maxie that the truth always comes out.

Alexis returned home to find John and Sam. Sam left and John presented Alexis with the proof that the restraining order against him was lifted. Alexis was frustrated over her wasted day.

Connie came on to Ewen who was finally able to force Kate out. Kate was horrified that she could not remember even coming to the MetroCourt restaurant. Kate agreed to go to the hospital with Ewen to try and get control over what is happening to her.

Sonny arrived at the restaurant only to find that Kate had left with a "man".

Sam went home and Jason asked her if she found the answers she was looking for.

Next week:
Will Sam tell Jason or will she wait for DNA results before she shares what she has learned? Meanwhile, will Jason find out about her talk with John McBain?
Will Maxie come to her senses and admit the truth?
What will Matt and Spinelli discover?
As Heather Webber returns to life in Port Charles, what will the reactions of others be to Steve giving her a second chance?

Coming soon: Maxie's mother Felicia arrives.

Secrets

Elizabeth and Ewen finally had their date. They had dinner at the metrocourt and somehow got to talking about Jax. Elizabeth noticed how Ewen seemed to know an awful lot about Jax and his family, even though he claimed to only know what he has read in the papers. Elizabeth seemed intrigued that there is more to Ewen than meets the eye but what secrets is he hiding?

Jason told Spinelli about his weird altercation with Kate. Jason noticed that it was only when he brought up the gun that Kate became strangely defensive. He told Spinelli it's as if Kate doesn't want to help prove Sonny's innocence. Spinelli suggested that maybe Kate is just stressed and said he has seen her yell for the littlest thing and abuse those around her. Spinelli has not seen Kate as Connie though. Jason offered to help Spinelli clear Maxie but he told him that Sonny needs to be his priority right now and ran off to get the one person he felt could help him.

Spinelli went to see Matt to call a truce and he told Matt that the two of them need to work together to free Maxie.

Patrick returned to work at the hospital but found too many reminders of Robin and decided he needed more time alone at home with Emma. Running into Robin's patients and not being able to tell them about her death made him realize that he needed more time away.

Lulu suggested to Dante that she go undercover and audition at the strip club in order to help investigate the case of who is attacking the strippers. Dante told her no way could she do that and forbid from being so involved. Lulu argued that she wanted to work together with him but Dante insisted that she not be any more involved than she is now. Lulu is a Spencer and going undercover is in her blood. I am sure Lulu is going to do what she wants. My guess on who the real attacker is? None other than Ronnie the cop. Although Delores' husband seems like a good suspect, I think Ronnie has issues and it would not surprise me to find out he is the one behind the attacks.

Kate told Sonny that Jason harrassed her about the gun and Sonny promised her that he would speak to Jason about it. Kate struggled to keep Connie under control and Sonny was blind to even see that Kate was again acting "off". She told Sonny not to be angry with Jason and suggested that maybe Jason is not yet recovered from his surgery. When Sonny left, Connie was proud of how she handled Sonny and then she ran into Ewen who recognized that Connie was in charge.

Sam confessed all she was holding inside to John. Personally I found it crazy that she told John about the rape, Franco's connection to Jason and all the details of her life when she hasn't even told her own mother. John had heard of Franco and knew many of the details of his obsession with Jason and also that Franco was a serial killer. John urged Sam to be truthful with Jason telling her that he could handle the truth and he deserves to know it.

Now that Sam has told John all these intimate details of her life, can he really be trusted not to use them against Jason in his vendetta against Sonny?

Sonny went to Jason and asked him if he was feeling okay, thinking that maybe he had been too hard on Kate. Jason assured him that he is just fine since his surgery.

Will Sonny believe Jason when he tells him what really went on with Kate? Why can't Sonny see that Kate is losing it?

Who will catch John and Sam together? When will Sam tell Jason the truth?

Things are picking up now and many storylines will be coming together. Don't miss a day and if you do, bookmark this blog to get your updates!

Second Chances

Heather called Steve who reluctantly went to see her. She explained to him that Sam had come to see her and she had asked Sam to give him a letter which she left behind.

She asked Steve to read the letter outloud in her presence because she wanted to see his reaction. The letter (meant to tear at his heartstrings) asked for his forgiveness and to give her a second chance at life.

Steve who was thinking about his "crime" agreed to become Heather's sponsor and help her get out of Ferncliff.

Jason went to see Kate in order to figure out what happened the night of the accident and how the gun showed up in Kate's office. Kate slipped into Connie mode and Jason stood by obviously aware that something is not right.

Sam came home looking to speak to Jason who wasn't around and instead found Spinelli. She was about to confide in him but he was focused on figuring out the Lisa Nile's murder and was in a rush to go get the police report. Sam never got to speak to him.

Sam then went to see Alexis and was about to tell her everything and Alexis got called to court.

John McBain and Anna discussed the restraining order Sonny got against him and Anna came through with some information to help John. She agreed to speak to Olivia about her cousin Kate who John feels knows more than she is admitting.

John then wound up at Alexis' only to find Sam there.

Another stripper was attacked and Shawn accused Dante of not doing enough to find out who is doing these attacks. Meanwhile Delores admitted that her husband didn't come home the previous night, saying that he was working.

Lulu and Dante discussed the fact that he could have done the attack but Dante held back on bringing him in for questioning. Dante still senses that he is not the attacker.

Sam was ready to breakdown, upset over what Heather told her and John pushed her to let him help her. He argued that she needed to talk to someone, why not talk to him?

Coming today: Heather prepares for her second chance but will Steve regret his decision? Now that Jason sees that Kate is disturbed, will he be able to convince Sonny that Kate is seriously not "herself"?

As Sam struggles with the truth about Jason and Franco, will she tell him or keep another lie from him? What will this do to her pregnancy?

The Reason for Franco's Obsession

Olivia begged Sonny to get Johnny to lay off Steve but refused to tell Sonny what Johnny was holding over her head. Olivia warned Sonny that Johnny was becoming out of control and Sonny needs to put an end to it.

Kate had another session with Ewen and allowed him to hypnotize her again. Ewen again tried to get the truth from Connie about the gun found in her office but failed. Connie propositioned Steve who didn't recognize that Kate was not "herself". Steve later told Olivia about his weird moment with Kate.

Luke warned Carly about her involvement with Johnny.

Starr overheard Jason telling Michael not to be involved with Starr and then Sonny arrived at Michael's. Starr listened while Sonny asked Michael if he stood behind him. Michael said that of course he stood behind his father but he had also promised Starr that he wants the truth also.

Anna agreed to help John McBain find out the truth about Sonny's involvement in the accident but made him promise to follow the case even if it proved Sonny was not guilty.

Luke arrived and met John McBain. Anna told Luke that they were old friends but Luke wondered why John was there.

Sam listened in horror as Heather Webber told the story of Jason's birth. She explained that after Jason was born, Susan passed out and delivered a surprise second baby. She told Sam that she sold the baby to the nurse who helped deliver the baby. The nurse was Becky Frank- Franco's mother.

Sam ran from the room shocked at Heather's revelation and realized that the baby she is carrying could be Franco's.

Knowing that Heather Webber is not in her right mind, will Sam believe what Heather told her or will she dismiss it as the ramblings of an insane woman? Will she tell Jason what she found out or will she decide to hold the truth from him?

How will Sonny stop Johnny?

Starr seems more convinced than ever of Sonny's guilt and wants to see him pay. Is Starr right?

Will Kate finally be able to find out what Connie is hiding?

Heather Webber is determined to be free again and will stop at nothing to get her son's attention. What will happen should Heather be free again?

All this and more in the next few days...

I hear that Maxie's mom Felicia is coming to Port Charles. Hmmm. It is about time that she takes an interest in her daughter. What will her coming to town mean to Mac and to Maxie? Will she help Maxie to admit the truth?

Patrick tries to move forward after Robin's death but will he be able to deal with going on without Robin?

Personally I cannot wait for the Kate/Connie storyline to end but I imagine Sonny is going to have to sweat it out by going through a trial before the truth comes out. Maybe a dramatic courtroom moment will occur when Kate realizes that it was she (as Connie) who caused the accident that killed Starr's family?

Although I hate to see John McBain leave Port Charles, what other reason is there for him to stay? His vendetta against Sonny is a long-held one but he has no power in Port Charles.

The tease of having characters from OLTL was a fun idea but honestly, aside from Starr they don't seem to fit into the already overcrowded storylines that are happening right now.

Agree or disagree? What do you hope to see happen in the near future?

Misplaced Guilt

Starr spends the night at Michael's and then shares some of her story of her and Cole. Michael sympathizes with Starr, seeing parallels to his own past and losing Abbey.

John McBain goes to see Anna Devine who it turns out was a mentor of his when he was a young FBI agent. He asks Anna for his help in bringing down Sonny and Anna wisely sees that John has unfinished business with Sonny and tells him he might not be impartial enough to see the truth.

John tells Anna that Sonny killed his sister.

Maxie's arrignment day arrives and Patrick tells her that he does not blame her for Robin's death. Although Alexis advises Maxie to allow her to handle the plea, Maxie pleads guilty to murder.

Sam meets with Heather Webber who agrees to tell Sam what she wants to know if she will contact her son Steve for her. Sam knows that Heather has information about why Franco was so obsessed with Jason. She shows Heather the baby pictures of Jason from the dvd and Heather tells her that the baby is not Jason.

Steve comes clean with Olivia and tells him the sordid story of his own birth and his mother's crimes. Olivia is shocked but praises Steve for handling his past so well. Steve wonders if he should have been in contact with his mother and thinks maybe he could have prevented some of her crimes. Olivia tells him that it isn't his job to take care of his mother, she should have taken care of him.

Spinelli goes to Jason for advice on how to help Maxie. Jason tells Spinelli that he feels guilt over Robin's death also. Spinelli decides to save Maxie he will need to find the real killer of Lisa Niles. Jason decides that in order to free Sonny he needs to do the same and find who is really responsible for shooting out Anthony's tires and causing the accident.

Jason goes to see Michael.

Coming soon: Sonny's trial begins. Will Jason be able to prove that Sonny is innocent?
What consequences will Maxie's confession have on her future? Can anyone help her?
What is Sam getting herself into by making deals with Heather Webber?
Will Steve go see his mother and what will she tell him?
What is the secret that Heather knows about Jason's birth?
Will Anna help John bring Sonny down?
What will Jason think about Starr being at Michael's apartment?
Who WAS John's sister and is Sonny really responsible for her death?

Best Laid Plans

Steve returned from Memphis and Olivia shared her good news that Johnny would no longer be a problem. Just as they were discussing moving forward, Johnny showed up to inform Olivia that Anthony turned himself in so Johnny's "arrangement" with Steve is still on.

Dante, Lulu and Ronnie discussed the possibility of Delores' husband being the suspect. It seems to me that Ronnie was a bit too eager to pin the crimes on Delores' never-before-seen husband. Dante later confided to Lulu that he is not so sure they are on the right track. He also told Lulu that with his father's case he wants him to be not guilty and feels like he is missing something that is right in front of his face.

Delores made copies of the evidence against Sonny and sent it to Johnny. Johnny promised her that he would help her find who killed her sister in exchange for info on Sonny.

Sonny went to see Kate who was having great trouble hiding her secret side. She lied to Sonny when he asked what she was doing with Johnny.

Jason asked Carly what her involvement with Johnny was about and Carly finally told him the truth. Jason ordered Carly to go to Johnny and end it.

Carly went to Johnny but told him she was going to do what she wants especially since Jason won't listen to her about Sam.

Sam got Jason's birth records which were missing a page and then found out that Heather Webber was Susan Moore's birth coach. She called Steve to find out if he knew where she could find his mother.

Anthony pushed Johnny to destroy Sonny by using Kate. Johnny again told him no because he doesn't want to mess up what he has going on with Carly.

Alexis called Ewen to tell him about Cassandra's death. Ewen was very upset, feeling like he failed his patient. Elizabeth came to his aid and comforted him. He then asked her out on a date which she accepted.

Coming next week: Sam tracks down Heather in order to find out answers about Jason's birth. Sonny's trial begins but will Kate/Connie realize the truth about her role in the crime? Will Dante and Lulu get closer to identifying who is behind the stripper attacks? As Maxie sits in jail, what will happen next?

The war between Sonny and Johnny escalates when Carly refuses to end her relationship with John. Will Michael take sides? It was a fast-paced week on GH with a lot going on. Next week promises to bring new surprises, old characters and hopefully an end to the drawn out storyline of Kate/Connie.

Starr showed up on Michael's doorstep and even though he told his father he would stay clear of her, he felt compelled to try and help her out. He told her that he wants to find the truth out and see that justice is done, no matter what.

John McBain found Starr at Michael's and again failed at trying to get her to return home.

Kate faked being Connie to try and find out what her plans with Johnny were but Johnny who was occupied with Carly didn't take the bait. Ewen felt Kate was playing a dangerous game.

Sonny and Jason discussed the best way to stop John McBain. Jason asked Sonny to tell him what happened in Atlantic City that caused John McBain to have this vendetta against him.

Anthony agreed to lie for Maxie about what really happened the night Lisa was murdered. Alexis told Mac that Maxie is not in her right mind and she needs to be protected.

Maxie still insisted that she killed Lisa and Anthony was not involved at all.

Tracy tried to get Anthony to sign divorce papers but he refused.

Coming soon: Sam finds out the truth about Jason's birth. John finds out that messing with Sonny is putting his loved ones at risk. Mac feels powerless to help Maxie.

Married to the Mob

Tracy accuses Luke of moving in on Anna which he denies. As they argue about what Tracy saw, Anna shows up at Luke's hotel room, bags in hand.

Sonny tells Michael to lose Starr's phone number and not to have any contact with her. He tells Michael that he is sympathetic to Starr but does not want Michael to become further involved. Michael doesn't agree or disagree but just continues to seem like he questions his father's innocence.

Jason and Sam argue about Sonny's innocence and Sam admits that Sonny going to prison would make her happy. Sam accuses Jason of believing too much in Sonny when she feels that Sonny is not worthy of his trust. Sonny shows up and Sam leaves for the airport to follow through on her quest to find the truth about the dvd Franco left.

John McBain runs into Starr at the airport who is arriving to make sure there is justice for her family. John tries to push Starr into returning home to Llanview, assuring her that he will see that justice is done.

As Starr refuses and runs off, John bumps into Sam.

Anthony and Maxie talk about Maxie's plan. Maxie tries to persuade Anthony to lie for her. Anthony tries to talk sense into Maxie.

Matt and Spinelli come to blows over Maxie's breakdown as Mac and Alexis stand helplessly by.

Jason shares with Sonny how Sam slipped and told John McBain too much about their personal life. Sonny is upset when Jason tells him that Sam thinks he is guilty. Jason also tells Sonny that John McBain is a problem.

John tells Sam that he has unfinished business with Sonny and will be staying in Port Charles to see it through. Sam tells John to stay away from her husband. She tells John that it is for his own good as well as hers.

Anna agrees to move into Luke's hotel room much to Tracy's dissatisfaction.

Starr shows up at Michael's apartment.

Anthony and Maxie make a deal.

Maxie tells Mac, Alexis, Matt and Spinelli that she has been lying. She tells them she killed Lisa without any help from Anthony.

Tracy goes to see Anthony in jail and agrees to bail him out if he will sign divorce papers.

Grudges, Mysteries and Madness

John McBain continued on his quest to find out the truth about the accident. He boldly confronted Sonny after catching Carly snooping in Kate's office. Carly didn't tell John that she thought Sonny was innocent but she did provide an alibi for Johnny.

Sonny ran off to find Kate and walked in on her session with Ewen where Connie had taken control. Ewen tried to get Connie to tell him about the gun found in her office and details about her "plan" to get Sonny out of Kate's life but failed.

Elizabeth shared with Anna how she has been able to live with Jake's death.

Patrick returned from leaving Robin's ashes at the site of their dream home.

Robin was seen awakening in a hospital bed, calling out for Patrick and Emma. A mysterious nurse entered the room and although Robin begged to see her husband, the nurse sedated her. She then went to a mysterious stranger and told him/her that Robin doesn't know who is behind this.

Who could it be? And WHY????

Dante, Lulu and Ronnie discussed the pictures that mysteriously disappeared from the computer and accused Delores of destroying the evidence.

Ronnie fingered Delores' husband as the attacker and set Dante and Lulu up to question whether or not Delores may be a victim of domestic violence.

I don't know about you but I suspect that Ronnie is the real suspect here. Wasn't it just a bit too convenient of him to finger Delores's husband? I mean, I can be wrong but something tells me that I am not.

After Sonny interrupted Kate/Connie's session with Ewen, she abruptly ran off saying that she had to explain things to Sonny. With so much inner turmoil I foresee Kate/Connie exploding very soon.

John McBain's quest to finally make Sonny pay seems to be a vendetta that he will lose. If Kate/Connie is really the person who shot out Anthony's tires (as I suspect) Sonny will be cleared. Will John McBain just return to Llanview or will they find a reason for him to stay in Port Charles?

As a OLTL fan I was hoping blending some of my favorite characters into Port Charles was a great way to make my favorite daytime show live on but I think many GH fans don't share my passion. What do you think? Leave me a comment about how you feel about the OLTL characters becoming a permanent fixture on GH.

Coming soon- the return of Heather Webber.

The Drakes Get a Delivery

Emma overheard Patrick as he accepted a delivery of Robin's ashes. He then awkwardly had to explain to Emma how Robin was in the "box" but also in heaven.

Ewen admitted to Elizabeth that he was her mysterious stranger who saved her life the night of Lisa Nile's murder but said that he didn't see anything that went on.

Johnny and Sonny went back and forth with threats each digging at each other.

John McBain grilled Jason about Sonny and told him that he should stay out of his way because he was going to find justice for Cole and Hope.

Sam agreed to only go to the hospital in New York to find out what she could about the dvd Franco left and if it led nowhere she would not pursue it anymore.

Carly confronted Kate about being at Johnny's and Kate realized that she did not remember being there. When Carly left, Kate called Ewen for an emergency appointment.

Carly snuck into Kate's office to find out what she was hiding and was caught in the act by John McBain.

Dante grilled Anthony about what happened the night of the accident. Anthony insisted that Sonny was responsible but Dante did not believe that he actually saw Sonny following him. Dante threatened to lock Anthony up for shooting him and attempting to shoot him again in the Metrocourt parking garage. He and Anthony argued and Dante didn't back down even after Anthony accused him of being biased.

Patrick decided that he couldn't keep Robin's ashes in the house and decided to bring them to the property where they were to build their dream house.

Ewen hypnotized Kate telling her that she needed to allow Connie to come out so they could discover what Connie might have done.

As Patrick said the words "I don't feel like you are gone", somewhere (somehow) Robin (or someone who looks an awful lot like Robin) is on a gurney unconscious.

Knowing that Kimberly McCullough has left the show, are the writers of GH trying to leave us hanging, wondering how Robin could still be alive??

Friday

It was a bittersweet day as residents of Port Charles remembered little Jake who was killed one year ago. Luke, who was responsible for the hit-and-run that killed Jake, set up a foundation in Jake's name and also had Coleman change the name of the local bar from "Jake's" to the "Floating Rib" after an old haunt that he and Anna remembered.

Anna thanked Luke for helping her get through the days after Robin passed. Lulu was pleasantly surprised at how her father seemed to be making amends for Jake's death and how he was holding himself together.

Meanwhile Anthony showed up at the PCPD in order to help clear Maxie's name and possibly point the finger at Sonny for shooting out his tires and causing the accident.

John McBain continued his quest to try and find out the truth about the accident that killed Cole and Hope. He went to see Tracy and try and find out where her mobster husband was hiding out. He came prepared knowing plenty about Tracy's former mob ties and not-so-subtly warned her that he would do whatever he needed to to find the truth.

Tracy, never one to be intimidated, had Alice throw John out.

Spinelli told Jason and Sam that he hadn't found out anything else about the mysterious dvd of Jason as a newborn. He apologized for being distracted by Maxie's troubles. Jason offered to help but Spinelli told him that he would find out the truth about Maxie's claims that she was the one who killed Lisa Niles.

Sonny came to see Jason and was pleasantly surprised that Jason believed he was innocent. Jason told him that he knew Sonny would never take the life of a child and not own up to it. Sonny told Jason that he is the about the only person who does believe in him.

Sam told Jason that she could investigate the dvd that Franco left. She told him that she would find the answers that they both need to be able to put this all behind them. Jason was more interested in helping find out who is framing Sonny.

Sonny went to see Johnny and told him that enough was enough.

John McBain showed up at Jason and Sam's.

Next week:

What information will Anthony give Dante about his connection to Maxie and what did he see the night of the accident? John McBain confronts Jason but how will Jason react to his vendetta against Sonny?
What will Sam find out about Jason's birth and will she figure out why Franco was so obsessed with Jason?
As Kate/Connie continues to unravel, when will her behavior finally lead Sonny to wonder what she is capable of?
How will Patrick and Emma move on from Robin's death?

Secrets, Lies and Blackmail

Jason returned home to a relieved Sam. They argued more about Robin's death and Jason reminded Sam that it was a year ago that Jake died.

Maxie refused any help for her confession although Spinelli and Mac were convinced of her innocence.

Dante went off to find Anthony in the hopes that he could clear Maxie of Lisa's murder. When he arrived at Johnny's, he found Olivia there. Olivia told Dante that Anthony was at the Quatermaine's and he went off to find him.

Johnny asked Olivia why she lied and she told him that she would keep his secret if he would lay off of Steve.

Mac asked Alexis to defend Maxie.

Luke told Lulu the truth about why Ethan left. Lulu agreed to keep the secret but wasn't sure it was the right thing to do.

Anna apologized to Patrick and decided she would stay a while to spend time with him and Emma.

Anthony wouldn't tell Johnny anything about Maxie much to Johnny's frustration. Did Maxie really kill Lisa?

Meanwhile Spinelli went to Jason and Sam's and told Jason the dvd Franco left remains a mystery to him. He told him about Maxie and wondered what kind of hold Anthony had over her.

Alexis told Maxie that she couldn't help her unless she told her the truth. What will Maxie tell Alexis? Without Anthony to back Maxie's story up, she may have to be arrested.

What Goes Around

Elizabeth tried to help Jason accept Robin's death. Jason felt guilt knowing that Robin died saving the medicine that saved him. He feels that his life is not worthy of being saved.

Carly left Kate/Connie at Johnny's not being sure what exactly was going on but spied the same color lipstick on Kate that she found on Johnny's shirt collar.

Patrick told Noah about Anna's lashing out at him when she discovered Patrick's affair. Noah defended his son and told him that he would speak to Anna.

Anna and Luke talked about why Robin hadn't shared the hell she went through when Patrick and Lisa had their affair. Luke got her to see that Robin kept it from her in order to prevent Anna from feeling like she was right now.

Sonny asked Michael if he believed that Sonny was responsible for killing Starr's family. Michael would only say that he wants the truth to come out for Starr.

Starr vowed to make sure that Sonny pays for killing her family and communicated with Michael via text message.

John McBain and Sam talked about relationships and John assured Sam that Jason probably just needed time to accept what had happened while he was unconscious. He told Sam about his own betrayal and how he forgave the woman he loves. (Again references were made to their characters on Port Charles which would not be enjoyed by someone who didn't know these characters from Port Charles.)

Carly arrived at the hospital and ran into Michael and Sonny. She hinted to Sonny about Kate being "with" Johnny. Sonny reprimanded her for telling Jason about Robin. He accused her of not being able to mind her own business. Carly taunted him by hinting about Kate having secrets but refused to tell him anything else.

Jason and Elizabeth talked about Jake and Elizabeth shared how Jake loved to come up on the bridge also. She showed him a pocketful of pinecombs that Jake had collected and shared how he would enjoy throwing them into the water. They dropped them together and spoke of how they felt his presence. It seemed to be very healing for both of them to think of Jake and celebrate his spirit. Jason seemed to be able to accept that Robin's passing was not his fault.

As Kate/Connie continues to unwind, now Sonny is closer to finding out just what is going on. Johnny held back from taking her up on her offer, knowing that she is capable of "turning" into Kate at any time.

Carly may have caused Sam and Jason to fight but in time, Jason may be able to forgive or at least understand why Sam did what she did.

Deja vous

John McBain came back into town to check on the investigation into Cole and Hope's deaths. His first stop was the PCPD where he grilled Dante about the investigation. He accused Dante of not being impartial. He told Dante that he knew his father from a long time back when he was FBI and he was there to make sure the prosecution had the evidence to finally convict Sonny. Dante accused him of being too emotionally involved with the case. These two will definitely be butting heads again. John then left the precinct.

How John McBain wound up at the church where Robin's funeral had taken place escapes me, but it was an interesting moments for fans of the former soap "Port Charles" of which the actors who play John McBain and Sam Morgan were once the "it" couple.

John comforted Sam who was visibly upset after Jason took off after learning that he had missed Robin's funeral. Jason angrily warned Sam to NOT follow him. Jason doesn't get angry too often but like Carly said, he hates having decisions made for him. He was also devastated over Robin's death.Sam was sitting there talking to Robin when John walked in. It was a funny moment of deja vous which the characters commented on but not all fans get the joke. As a former fan of PC, I got it.

Jason wound up on the bridge where he regretted not being able to wish Robin back. Elizabeth appeared and Jason told her what an unforgivable thing it was for Sam to keep Robin's death from him. Elizabeth tried in vain to defend Sam's decision. If anyone can explain why Sam did what she did, Elizabeth could but does she want Jason and Sam to work things out? Her intentions are just as questionable as Carly's.

Luke found Anna at Jake's where she was drowning her unhappiness over finding out about Patrick's deception. Luke asked Anna if she really was angriest with Robin, not Patrick's indiscretion. Luke knows Anna for a long time and he could be the one to repair her feelings about what she didn't know about her daughter's life.

Maxie continued to insist that she killed Lisa and eventually spilled the truth about her "deal" with Anthony Zachara. Mac brought her into PCPD to talk after realizing that Maxie wasn't going to give up her claim of being a "killer". Did Maxie really kill Lisa?

SPOILER ALERT: Felicia will be returning this spring to PC. Could it be because her daughter murdered Lisa?

Carly and Johnny tried to get close but were interrupted by Connie/Kate. Connie loudly was knocking on the door and said something about taking down Sonny which got the best of Carly's curiousity. She opened the door to find Kate/Connie and asked her what was going on. Johnny could do nothing but stand there. We all know that the first chance Carly gets she will be running to Sonny to tell him all about his crazy girlfriend.

Patrick returned home and a few minutes later his father Noah Drake arrived. He apologized for taking so long to get home but explained he had been overseas. Father and son embraced.

Sonny went to the hospital to see Jason but found him missing. He ran into Michael and had a discussion about how dangerous Todd Manning is. Michael tried to downplay his continuing grief over Abby and Sonny told him to not compare his grief to others. He warned Michael about Todd and pointed out how Todd was exploiting his daughter's grief by splashing her story on the front page of his paper.

Breakdown

Today's episode was full of breakdowns. Kate/Connie, Maxie, Jason and Sam's marriage, Patrick...

During Maxie's outburst at Robin's funeral, she mentioned how Patrick worked so hard to fix his marriage after Lisa. Mac, Spinelli and Matt brought Maxie into the hospital as she continued to demand that Mac arrest her for killing Robin.

Anna confronted Patrick about Lisa and wanted to know what Maxie was talking about. She was shocked to her what went on and ripped into Patrick telling him that he did not deserve her daughter's love. She then told Patrick that he did not deserve to raise Emma. Anna insinuated that she would be raising Emma, not Patrick.

Carly told Jason about Robin's death and made sure that he knew Sam kept him from knowing. Jason reacted angrily and went to the church for the funeral but he missed it. Sam found him in the empty church and Jason asked her why she lied to him.

Sam insisted that she did what she had to in order to save his life but he insisted that his life was not worth saving. He also told Sam that she had no business making that decision for him just as Carly had insisted he would feel. Jason may not forgive Sam for what he sees as a betrayal.

Carly who was very pleased with herself, showed up at Johnny's and when she told him what she had done, he accused her of not wanting Sam and Jason to be happy. Carly continued to defend herself and her bond with Jason.

Kate lost control and Connie came out much to Sonny's surprise. Sonny appeared confused by Connie and didn't succumb to Connie's advances. Kate regained control and threw Sonny out. I think Sonny finally realizes that Kate needs psychiatric help.

Meanwhile at the hospital Maxie confessed to killing Lisa, insisting that she was the "real" killer.

We know that Anthony made it look as if the ship's captain killed Lisa but was it really Maxie?

Did Carly succeed in breaking up Sam and Jason?

Will Anna fight Patrick to get custody of her granddaughter?

Will Sonny get Kate the help she needs and will he realize that Kate is responsible for the accident that killed Cole and Hope?

Monday started off with a bang and it should make for an interesting week.

Jason Learns the Truth

Robin's funeral continued today as family and friends remembered how she touched their lives. Luke read a letter from Robert who was off chasing after Ethan who he believes is in trouble and his son. Sonny spoke about how he and Robin met and learned how to accept and love each other and then he left with Kate.

The remembrances of Robin were intertwined with footage of Robin from the time she was a little girl. As a long-time fan it was nice to look back at familiar characters and remember the storylines the character had been through. Robin was an amazingly open person who wasn't quick to judge anyone.

Sonny pressed Kate to tell him why she texted him. Kate couldn't remember doing that and recalled the conversation she had with Ewen about her blackouts. Kate admitted to Sonny that Ewen is a psychiatrist that she is seeing in Port Charles. Sonny continued to press Kate about why she needs help. It seems that Kate is getting close to breaking. What will Sonny do when he sees Connie emerge?

Maxie burst into Robin's funeral and started to speak about how selfish she was and confessed to killing Robin.

Sam frantically tried to keep Carly from seeing Jason but while she was off trying to stop Carly from busting into Jason's room, Carly was finally successful in doing so.

Jason knew Carly was keeping something and after much back and forth where Carly tried to accuse Sam of keeping her from him, Carly blurted out that Robin was dead.

Sam ran into Ewen who tried to make her see that perhaps her protectiveness of Jason is actually control/jealousy. Sam tried to explain that she was fearful that Jason would die. Ewen tried to get Sam to see that the danger may have passed and Sam needs to back off on being so overprotective.

Next week watch for repercussions of Sam's lie and Carly's refusal to respect Sam's wishes. How will Jason see Sam after he learns the truth about Robin?

Kate is headed for a total breakdown. She cannot contain Connie much longer.

Maxie's admission may seem like grief to many but will she reveal what she did to cause the accident?
