GH TALK

Pushing the envelope

• Michael's eyes are open.
• Kate is yelling at Sonny for running around without security. Sonny said he needs to keep busy. Kate said you need grieve. Sonny came back at top vocals indicating how he was responsible for Michael being shot.
• Jason insisted Nikolas tell him why he wired that money to Devlin's account.
• Jerry is holding a gun threatening a naked Devlin in the hospital shower. Devlin says nothing. Jerry said ok, lowers the aim of the gun down and states "oh I can't bare to watch." Devlin is afraid. Jerry realized the gun wasn't loaded. Devlin asked he show some discretion. Jerry said that it's time Devlin start showing discretion when it comes to him and Claudia.
• Nikolas sat down to explain to Jason how he could see Emily. Jason wanted to know how Devlin fit in; Nikolas said he had access to the experimental medications.
• Johnny reminded Ric to stay away from his father. Claudia attempted to explain how twisted her father was and how dangerous it would be to get him released. Ric tried to assure them their father was a changed man.
• Kate suggested Sonny go talk to the doctors and research other treatment options. Sonny made his intentions clear that he needs to send a message.
• Patrick informed Carly there is no change, it was just a reflex. She can't understand that since his eyes were open. She argued with Patrick.
• Spinelli PI is back on the case, racing around, crawling and hiding jumps to the computers at the hospital. Unfortunately, as he began to access the computer Sam found him and demanded to know what he was doing. He talked his way out by saying he is looking for information on the computers. Just then Maxi came off the elevator and yelled at him, that she has been looking everywhere for him. She insisted he drop what he is doing, because she has an emergency.
• Jason tried to convince Nikolas that Devlin was playing on his weakness. Nikolas continued to explain why he wanted to the drugs.
• Kate continued pushing him to give up this vengeance that might destroy others. Diane walked in during the argument. Sonny requested Kate leave. Kate told him he should stop sleeping with Kate immediately. He told her she wasn't one to give him advice. She simply stated she was his attorney. As his attorney he noted that she shouldn't be sleeping with his body guard.
• Ric told Johnny and Claudia to prepare for his release. They bent over backwards explaining why their father should remain where he was. Ric said that is why I had both of your visiting privileges suspended. Ric left. Claudia biting her nails looked to Johnny and confirmed he can't get out. He agreed.
• Ric was back to visit Daddy Zacchara, who is in a wheelchair. He reported back about his children's feelings toward him and keeping him locked up.
• Claudia and Johnny discuss how to block Ric's actions. Claudia is afraid Daddy will get rid of her to control Johnny.
• Sonny demanded to know if Max was sleeping with Diane, he found it hard to respond. However, Max said yes and it was the best sex of his life. Diane said it's none of Sonny's business.
• Carly continued to talk to Michael and assured him he did good by opening his eyes. She urged him to keep fighting and come back to her. Sam knocked on the door; she wanted to see if Carly needed anything. Carly said you don't need to be nice to me. She insisted she is concerned about Michael. Carly let her emotions flood out and made it clear that Michael is fine and he is getting better.
• Jax arrived at Jason's house. He explained his concern about how Carly is in denial. Jason just learned that Michael opened his eyes, as explained it was only reflex. Jax said he couldn't get through to her and was hoping that Jason could.
• Claudia told Johnny how well she remembered the day their dad sent her away. She never wanted to leave him. He knew. She believed their dad was jealous of them. Claudia still wants to protect him, now he wants to protect her. Claudia broke down in tears.
• Kate showed up at the Zacchara house. Claudia asked what the hell she wanted.
• Sonny said he has a say in anything that affects his job performance. Both Diane and Sonny go at it about how and why they should or should not have a relationship. Never once did either of them let Max interrupt. Sonny forbid Max to sleep with, date, or even be around Diane. She went off on him. Sonny got a call and the two of them left. Diane cussed him out while they walked away.
• Jason sat down with Jax to explain that Carly does whatever Carly wants to, no matter who says what to her. Jax hoped that Jason could convince her there is nothing more to do for Michael, but Morgan needs his mom. Jax reminded Jason that she trusts him more than anyone else, and the only person she might listen to would be Jason.
• Spinelli and Maxi enter a hotel room. They begin searching the room. She wants Spinelli to break into the computer of one of Kate's competitors. Spinelli said the dastardly doctor's rooms takes priority. Just then Devlin arrived home. Spinelli hid, Maxi was caught in the room.
• Patrick told Carly and Jax that Robin has agreed to take over as Michael's doctor until she can find another doctor. He provided her with a list of doctors.
• Ric meets with Logan. Ric said it has nothing to do with Sonny. Ric offered Logan a job as a protector to Zacchara.
• Zacchara is now at Shady Brooke. He makes friends with the nurses. Johnny walked in. He tells Johnny he is a changed man.
• Kate said Sonny is grieving for Michael. Claudia told Kate she is way over her head. Kate was there to deliver a message that if she hurts Sonny in any way, she will destroy them in the public eye. Claudia said come and get me you skinny b____. Sonny arrived just then and told Claudia to back off.
• Robin explained why Michael is moving to another room. Carly wouldn't let Patrick talk because he was a negative energy. Robin said Michael should be released by the end of the week and they should be talking about long term care.
• Sam ran into Jason and got an update about Michael. Sam offered any help needed. Jason asked what she knows about Devlin. She gave a good report on him as a doctor. She said he went to med school with Patrick Drake.
• Devlin confronted her. Maxi used her fast talking, but he misunderstood and began kissing her.
• Logan said he wasn't going to pay nursemaid for some crazy nut case. Ric said he regained the use of his arms. Logan was listening. Ric wanted Logan inside as his body guard and to provide Ric with the information he needs. Ric dropped Johnny's name, as being opposed to all this. Logan was prompt in his acceptance. They shook hands.
• Johnny told his father that Ric hasn't seen half of what he has. Daddy said it would be better. He insisted that Johnny welcome him back with open arms, or he would kill Claudia.
• Sonny said Max is outside in the car waiting to take her home. Claudia urged him to go after Kate. Sonny asked Claudia out on a date. The look on her face, is like are you crazy?

Friday on GH

A brief recap of yesterday on GH:

• Sonny made it known around town that he was open and ready for anyone who wants him dead to take another shot.
• Jason and Spinelli continued to follow up on Devlin and found that Nikolas provided Devlin 10 Million.
• Lulu and Maxi in traditional Lulu and Maxi style are fighting it out over Johnny.
• Devlin visited Claudia at her home. Both Trevor and Johnny were there at the time of visit. Johnny figured out that Devlin was the one who shot Michael.
• Jason confronted Nikolas on the money.

The moment we have all been wondering about: Michael opened his eyes! Or least it appeared as though he did. We'll have to wait for Monday to know if he did or if Carly was just having a hallucination.

• Maxi chatted up Johnny. Maxi discussed how she someday hoped to have a business like Kate. Johnny told her to go out and make some money. Out of nowhere, Johnny walked behind the bar and presented Maxi some money (chips) to play. Who do you think was watching from the bar? Yes, Lulu. And oh did Johnny know.
• Sonny reassured Kate he wasn't shutting her out; he just wanted to get his mind off Michael. She told him he was making a very dark and destructive choice. Basically, Sonny sent Kate back in to work the room. He also said not to ask what he is doing, because he doesn't understand.
• Maxi and Johnny started playing the tables. She was excited.
• Lucky found Sam to be with her; she immediately wanted to know about why he brought Elizabeth and didn't even tell her.

The Haunted Star Reopening

• Nikolas gazed over Nadine while she was sleeping. She woke and he told her how beautiful she is, he said he tossed and turned dreaming about her. SHE WOKE UP and in pain.
• Jax arrived back at the hospital to find Carly recounting her time during the explosion for Michael and letting him know that he too will come back.
• Jason at home takes out his black box. He pulls it near his chest. [If you don't know about Jason's black box it is filled with pictures of Michael as a baby, and now has Jake photos, as well].
• Nadine attempted to stand and prove to Nikolas the swelling has gone. He said it was clear she is limping and in pain. Nadine started in on him again, about choosing Emily over life saving surgery.
• Lulu arrived at the Haunted Star to see how the place is shaping up for tonight's opening. Luke asked if she will be making an appearance. She said she's going to come to see it before her dad leaves town again. Luke jokingly said how he knew she was coming to see Johnny.

• Spinelli came home with groceries. Jason was not chatty; instead he wanted to get down to business. He informed Spinelli they are going to find who shot Michael. Spinelli was ready to comply and in his speak said it was normal he'd want to seek vengeance. Jason said he was the one who hurt Michael; it was all the decisions he made that put Michael there that day.
• Lucky came to hospital to invite Elizabeth to the opening of the Haunted Star with him. He made a time to come by and see the boys before they go.
• Ric informed Zacchara how Johnny and his boys picked him up. Zacchara said it was Claudia not Johnny. Ric said he was taking a substantial risk facilitating his release. Zacchara said when he was free and head of the family again Ric could name his price. Ric asked he doesn't discuss any of this with his family.
• Claudia and Johnny argue again about Johnny turning himself over to Sonny. He finally agreed that neither of them could turn themselves over. Johnny then came up with a plan to go to Sonny and let him know they had nothing to do with it, and invite him to interrogate any of their people to reassure them. Claudia confirmed there was no link back to them (but had some hesitation in her eyes).
• Luke and Lulu talk about what if any involvement with Michael's shooting. Luke admitted he liked Johnny, but also thinks he's a walking disaster.

She wanted him to stay away from alcohol, reviewed his diet and told him he needed exercise. He did his best to tell her they needed to relax and have fun. She looked very worried about him.
• Spinelli reported to Jason that nothing has turned up yet. Jason ordered him to keep looking. Jason plans on making sure whoever did this pays.
• Claudia arrived and Spinelli urged her to leave. She turned to Jason and said we need to talk about who shot Michael.
• Jax revealed a plan to Alexis that if Carly goes home that she might admit the truth in answering Morgan's questions. Alexis said that might work, the worst thing a mother can feel is helpless; you need to let her find her way through this.
• Lulu arrived to see Nikolas. She told him the Haunted Star is reopening and begged him to take her.
• Johnny told Luke Sonny won't shoot him at the Haunted Star not with them being friends and all. Tracy asked Johnny to stay away from Lulu. He said he'll be there for the opening, what Lulu does is her business.
• Claudia tried to convince Jason that she and Johnny had nothing to do with Michael's shooting. She set up the scenario that a third party had something to do with this. Jason said when we have proof we are going to go after the shooter and there is nothing on this earth that is going to stop them!
• Carly showed Michael the giraffe that Jason gave him. Jax came back in. It was time to have Michael's bandages, so they step out in the hall. Jax reminded Carly that Morgan needed his mother.
• The Haunted Star opened its doors again! The place was packed. Tracy took Luke's drink away. Jerry found Alexis there; he gave her chips to play. With flirtation the two took off for a night of fun. Nadine arrived to play, but of course, is clueless how to play. With each drink Luke grabs, Tracy snags it away. Lucky and Elizabeth looked good together. Sam walked in to find them together; Lucky ran over to convince her they are not on a date. He told her in no uncertain terms he wanted to be with her. Ric ran in to Elizabeth they made small talk. As Alexis and Jerry are having fun, he noticed that Devlin arrived. Nadine's number hit and she was jumping up and down with joy. Nikolas was there to see her enjoyment.
• Jax continued to tell Carly how this was affecting Morgan and that she needed to tell him the truth. Jax said you have to tell him he has been shot and is in a coma, and he needs to hear that from her.
• Lulu was waiting on the waterfront for Nikolas when Johnny walked by, she said she must have missed him. Logan saw them talking and made a couple smug comments.
• Claudia arrived. Alexis went to say hi to Sam. The nurses were having fun. Ric steered clear of the women. Devlin watched everyone from a distance. Jerry and Claudia exchanged words casually.
• Spinelli and Jason went through every piece of video footage; nothing was working. He pulled up one last possibility. Jason saw something. They narrowed in and saw doctor ID tags. Jason thought that was weird.

Unbreakable Love

• Lulu back peddles in explaining why she can't have dinner with Logan. He was confused. In explaining she made it clear she wanted to be his friend only.
• Johnny told Claudia that he was with Lulu when the shooting happened.
• Jax attempted to convince Elizabeth to tell him the truth; he knew that Carly was holding something back. His intentions were clear; he wanted to help Michael and Carly. Elizabeth said there isn't anything anyone can do for Michael.
• Carly and Sonny took their argument in the hallway. Once again she confirmed her position; she wanted him to stay the hell away from Michael. Sonny flat out refused.
• Robin returned home with cookies for her and Patrick. He said he was now completely sober. She said he was free to go, but if he wanted to stay she would enjoy his company. He was perplexed. She explained that Sonny was tearing himself up over Michael, and how Carly ordered him out of Michael's life. In reviewing this she realized she had no room to talk, she had been doing the same thing to him. [That wasn't exact, but the idea is that Robin realized she was keeping him out of the way from being a dad]. She asked him if his feelings changed about being a father.
• Logan wanted Lulu to change her position, she refused. Lulu expressed her like for him, but confirmed there was no attraction. He thought she faked it in the past. Of course, she didn't; but things changed. Logan said he wanted a valid reason why he was being blown off. He called her out about wanting Johnny over him.
• Johnny and Claudia discussed how he came to be with Lulu at the time of the shooting and why they are always fighting. Claudia wanted to know what was really going on with Lulu. He confirmed he cared about her and knows she cares about him. He wants her in his life, but he's afraid that his life will hurt her. Claudia said keep her, but don't fall in love.
• Jax asked if Michael's case is hopeless. Elizabeth didn't want to discuss this with him, but he continued to beg her for answers. Elizabeth went ahead and told him everything she knew. In explaining, she said she overheard Patrick telling Robin the coma was permanent. It became clear for Jax. He now understood that Carly was in denial; she can't face the fact Michael is already gone. [Hope he doesn't say that to her].
• Jason breaks up the fight between Carly and Sonny. She threw Sonny's apology back at him. She continued to remind him how guilty he was for Michael's injury. Sonny said Michael would want him to be there. Jason agreed.
• Claudia explained to Johnny in detail how love makes you unstable.
• Lulu said she didn't know if she had a future with Johnny. Logan said he gets the picture. Lulu continued that her feelings go way beyond friendship with Johnny. Logan had trouble accepting that Lulu was terminating their relationship.
• Elizabeth told Jax that maybe Carly isn't ready to hear the devastating truth; denial isn't always a bad thing. Elizabeth continued by saying how Carly may be blaming herself for what has happened to Michael, so let her cling on to hope for longer if she needs to. Jax said this is the first thing he has heard in the last 24 hours that has made any sense.
• Jason made it clear they all failed Michael, nothing can change what happened. He wanted everyone to remember that Michael needs them all right now and that has to come first. [That's right Jason kick some parental ass].
• Logan blew up and stormed out.
• Claudia said her advice isn't out of a book, it was form personal experience. Then explaining about her mother she admired was broken by their father. The woman was reduced to a shell after their father was done with her. Claudia said she will only love someone who will stand by her unconditionally and keep her secrets; but that man doesn't exist. Johnny should do the same thing. Love is a loosing proposition. There is only one person who will always have his back, who he can trust that's her.
• Carly admitted that Michael loves Sonny; so she'll allow him to go in and tell him to fight. However, she doesn't want to misunderstand he doesn't belong. Jax arrived to see Carly looking defeated. She explained that Jason convinced her to let Sonny see Michael. Jax agreed with Jason. Once again, we recapped how Sonny was supposed to be their protector, etc. [It's becoming a broken record].
• Sonny told Michael he let him down. He was supposed to protect him, but he didn't honor that privilege. He tried to figure out how Michael felt during that last minute. He explained to Michael that he will carry for the rest of his life how he failed him. He begged him to wake up and come back to them. He let him know that mommy and daddy needed him.
• Patrick said he doesn't know. What is daddy boot camp? With joy he said he can't deny the baby is coming.
• Carly anguished over her decision to have Sonny in her life. Jax tried to convince her, she didn't need to worry or think about that right now. She needed to get along with Sonny right now, for Michael.
• Sonny continued his conversation with Michael. He told him all the great qualities that he has, and how he can draw from those qualities to bring himself back. Jax and Carly are back in the room. Sonny made it clear he would be back tomorrow. She was ok with that decision. [Carly had calmed down. I guess Jax is good for her].
• Patrick informed Robin she is glowing and is more beautiful than ever. Of course, they embraced and passionately kissed.
• Sonny sat down at home to have a drink. Kate came over, because she saw him arrive home. He told her that he doesn't blame her and he doesn't regret saving her life. She is precious to him and he loves her very much. Right now, he just doesn't know how to fix this. She doesn't either. They hold each other for comfort.
• Jax visited with Michael. He said he was sorry he wasn't there when it happened. Jax explained how Michael changed the course of his life and how he loved being his step father. All of sudden, Jax said it "had" been a joy watching him grow up. Just then Carly popped over and wanted to know why it sounded like he was saying goodbye to him.
• We come back to Robin and Patrick under a blanket on the couch. [I'm thinking they did it - what do you think]? Patrick said he loved her just as much as ever. She said she loved him too, and maybe that can be enough for now.
• Carly said she understood that he might think the worst, but Michael's color is getting better and he is getting stronger. Jax stood and he told her she had the best instincts of anyone he knows. He hugged her letting her know he believed her.
• Sonny and Kate hold each other reviewing the recent events in a loving and caring manner. Sonny announced he won't let himself tap into that dark place he is so familiar with for Michael with God as his witness, he won't let that happen.

Doing what's best for family

• Johnny romantically plays the piano, as Lulu saunters in to watch. She complimented his piece. She was there to inform him that no one will blame him for the shooting.
• Jason emotionally recounts for Elizabeth when Carly asked him to be the father of her child. He agonizes how everyone thinks he can keep everyone safe and the truth is he can't keep anyone safe. He admitted he shouldn't be near a child.
• Sonny stumbling around with a gun in his hand loads it and then points in toward his mouth. Squinting, as though, he is about to pull the trigger he flashes on Michael. Just then he hears a noise, and it's Robin. He hides the gun. She announced she is there to help. They discuss the children, their mothers, and his opinion he that he is a selfish bastard.
• Johnny inquires about Michael. After briefing him, she goes on about how she told everyone that he was with her. He is pissed.
• Alexis is covering her eyes, while both Diane and Max quickly get dressed. Alexis is worried about Diane being with a thug. Alexis went so far as to call Max a flunky.
• Jason tells Elizabeth about his visit to Monica and his concern that the last person she had left is now shot. He made enemies which will always put her and her kids in the line of fire. Elizabeth then clarifies that he is choosing a life of crime over her and the boys. Jason said NO he made that decision before he ever met her. Both with streaming tears confess their love. Elizabeth says she can't stop loving him, even now.
• Carly continued to kick Claudia out of Michael's room. Claudia with deep sincerity explained no child deserved this. Carly took out all her anger on Claudia, justified or not. As Carly is yelling at the top of her lungs for Claudia to get out, Jax arrived.
• Jax didn't know who she was, Carly informed him. Now both of them kicked her out. Jax embraced Carly and inquired about Michael.
• Sonny told Robin all he wanted to do was teach Michael about the coffee business. Frustrated he blamed himself for leaving Michael wide open. He knows that they were aiming for him, and he always walks away without a scratch. Robin said wanting to show your son there is more than being in the mob, you were trying to be a good father. Sonny said that Carly was right he didn't deserve to be a father; he grabbed Kate instead of Michael.
• Johnny and Lulu argue over playing games with each other. Johnny said not everyone he does is about her. Once again, Lulu stomped out telling him to have a nice life.
• Elizabeth said she doesn't want to risk her boys getting hurt, but it's her choice to. He apologized. She said she wasn't, she loved him and their son. She hoped that there would be some way she could be with him again. [Everyone had to realize that the marriage proposal would be taken back and no marriage would actually take place, once Michael was shot. IT SUCKS. Let them just be together. Enough said]. She begged him to continue to meet at the safe house. Jason said it's up to her. Rolling tears they go back and forth about why they shouldn't be together, yet how much they love each other and need to be with each other. Jason said he wanted her and the boys to have a safe life. Passionately the two kiss and embrace, then he departed. [It's hard watching Stone Cold with flowing tears].
• Diane defended Max. The two women argue. Diane goes on about all the great qualities of Max. Max then explained to Alexis he wouldn't stop at anything to protect Sonny. Alexis begged her to give up on Max, besides she would only be second to Carly. Max fumbled for words.
• Carly explained she no longer wanted Sonny anywhere near her kids. Jax listened to Carly explain the details. Carly beats herself up again about Michael getting shot.
• Robin attempted to comfort Sonny. She explained that Carly manipulated any man and used her kids to work the men, AJ, Tony, Jason and him. Sonny made it clear that he promised to take care of him and love him; he should have put Michael first. Therefore, he has failed his son in everyway that matters.
• Max now defended Diane and him, he pointed out that Alexis is no relationship expert. Diane brought up Jerry Jax. In the mean time, throughout this discussion Max and Diane manage to compliment each other. Alexis departed. Max thanked Diane for defending him. Awkwardly Diane says she is leaving, Max held up her underwear she almost left behind. She came to retrieve it and he leaned in for a goodnight kiss.
• Robin continued talking with Sonny about how relationships are difficult. Robin reminded him that Carly knew what life Sonny led when she got involved with him. Sonny defended Carly again. Robin said no one has the right to push a father out of their childs life.
• Jax wanted to know when Michael will regain consciousness. Carly didn't give a clear response. Jason arrived while they were talking. Jax said Michael is doing better he squeezed Carly's hand this afternoon. Jax went back in to see Michael. Jason with great concern looked at Carly and said she needed to tell him what the doctors said.
• Claudia found Johnny at the piano. She sat next to him. Johnny said it's not that easy anymore to get lost in the music. Claudia said she saw Michael in the hospital. They both agreed it was stupid for her to visit him. Her anguish over what he was going through with all those tubes going down his throat; she then said when Johnny was a little boy she promised to protect him and he won't pay for her mistakes. Johnny put his arm around his sister with love.
• Johnny asked if anyone accused her of anything at the hospital. Claudia said she left Carly yell at her, and her husband Jasper Jacks might have suspicion. Johnny said you won't let me go to Sonny to take responsibility, neither can you. Claudia feared for her life.
• Robin said instead of blaming yourself for everything have you considered what Michael would want?
• Jax left so Jason could read to Michael. He never actually left he just peered in through the door from the hall. [We all know that Jax has been and continues to be jealous of Jason].
• Johnny said he is not a little boy anymore she didn't need to protect him forever. Claudia said she can try. Johnny convinced her to keep a low profile; she asked he do the same with Lulu. He stated he was done with Lulu for good this time. Claudia worried about Johnny's heart being broken.
• Lulu arrived at Kelly's to find a romantic dinner for two prepared by Logan.
• Jax showed up on Elizabeth's doorstep. He wanted her to tell him what happened during surgery. Elizabeth explained the procedure. He asked if Michael will recover. She told him to talk with Carly.

Camp Grow Up A Lot

Today, the headline on Soap Opera Weekly shows a picture of Jesse Soffer (age 24) with the proposed question, "GH's New Michael?"

When young Michael went into a coma, we here FORMORTV talked over the possibility that they could replace the actor with someone new, someone older. I like to call it CAMP GROW UP A LOT.

What is CAMP GROW UP A LOT? I coined this phrase years back when a young Jason and young AJ went off one summer to camp. I think they were about 8 and 9. The next time, I saw them they were about 16 and 17. Even though I, myself was very young, I found this quick grow up odd, especially because they had just gone off to camp. Then all of sudden they are in high school!

After they returned from Camp Grow Up A Lot was when we met the teen set of the 80's, Jason, AJ, Robin, Brenda and Karen. Some of you might remember that pack of teens. It was pre brain injury for Jason. Karen was still alive. Robin "was intelligent" so she skipped a grade or two to graduate with all of them. Karen and Jason was an item. Brenda was the bad girl. AJ was the troubled teen. Brenda and Robin became best friends. I could go on and on, but enough about the 80's teen set of Port Charles.

Skipping ahead past the teens of the 90's, Emily, Elizabeth, Nikolas, and Lucky and instead turn to a more recent teen set. Do you recall when Georgie and Maxi were suddenly 10 years older? How about little Lulu? One day she was 12 the next day she is graduating high school. Throw in a Dillon and Diego and you have one teen set ready for drama.

Now we are toying with the idea of replacing Michael. Let's review this scenario: If Michael goes in to the coma as a 12 year old (we know he is 12 because Lulu just said so the other day when in shock that a 12 year old could get shot) and comes out let's say 19 what does that mean for the rest of the kids? We have to grow up Christina, Cam, Morgan, Spencer, Molly, and Jake. Could this be our new teen set?

Another possibility is we grow up only a couple of these kids like Christina, Morgan and Cam. Then mix in a few new kids and we are ready for teen drama all over again. Don't worry about Spencer, Molly and Jake they will also grow up in the not to distant future.

All soap operas have CAMP GROW UP A LOT. We can also change this to CAMP CHANGE A LOT. Camp Change A Lot is across the street from Camp Grow Up A Lot. There is no age limit at Camp Change A Lot. The only requirement at Camp Change A Lot is you sign in as one actor and sign out as another actor playing the character! Sometimes you don't even have to look the same; this is the beauty of Camp Change A Lot!

Oh but Soap Operas don't hold the monopoly of Camp Grow Up A Lot or Camp Change A Lot, both daytime and primetime shows are familiar with these camps. They are used quite frequently throughout TV LAND!

[What happened?]

• Sonny told Kate he wanted to pray. She said you should. Sonny reviewed his own remorse for his life and livelihood. He never thought his son would have to bleed for him.

Innocence Lost

• Devlin actually hit on someone in the hospital. Claudia ran into Devlin in the hospital and said those stitches are not ok, very not ok. Devlin is called into surgery, so he escaped the wrath of Claudia.
• Jax is in the meeting that he took for Kate. Jerry called to tell him Michael had been shot. Jax told Jerry to go find her and tell her he is on his way home.
• Kate still at the warehouse answering questions discovered from the police that the bullet was probably intended for Sonny or her, but Ricocheted off something bouncing back to hit Michael.
• Patrick arranged a team to work on Michael that included Devlin, but he didn't want Robin working on this one because of her attachment and gave Elizabeth the same option. Both Robin and Elizabeth chose to stay on this case. All three Carly, Sonny and Jason rush the room as Michael is brought in. They keep them all out so they can work on Michael.

• Carly back in the waiting area embraced Jason for comfort. She made eyes with Sonny and pulled her vision line back. [I just don't think she wanted to see Sonny right then.
