Listen to Angela: GH Preview for Week of January 13 - The Monster Holding Your Hand



The Monster Holding Your Hand




Barracuda

Heather is having more fun now than she has in ages, waving a nice sharp knife around and grappling yet again with another perceived female obstacle to her current obsession d’annee.  Carly -- perhaps forgetting who she’s dealing with -- actually tries reasoning with the furloughed mental patient, with predictable results.  While the two women do their own demented version of Waiting for Godot, Carly’s family and friends are alarmed when Michael, Sonny, and Morgan make a disturbing discovery in the Metro Court garage – a discovery which causes everyone to think the worst, and Michael to peg Franco as the culprit.
 
The apprehension mounts as both Franco and Bobbie – for their own respective reasons – go to Scott and pressure him to investigate Carly’s disappearance. Bobbie is beside herself with worry for her daughter, but confides to Lulu that Lucas doesn’t know about this situation yet – and Bobbie has been reluctant to tell him.  However, once Lucas is apprised of events, he immediately comes to Port Charles to support his mother and help in the search.  

Nathan finds DNA on a bloody knife and also ferrets out the source of Carly’s goodbye letter – to Franco’s consternation, as it implicates him even more.  At wits’ end, he seeks professional help with Kevin and even goes to Sonny to plead his case. The mob boss is skeptical when Franco insists he’s being framed – both unaware, of course, of Heather’s machinations.  Even as it seems the PCPD is closing in on the truth, Heather has a head start, and her plan is almost complete. 


Perfect Way

After picking herself up off the floor from hearing the news about Sabrina’s pregnancy, Robin finds herself feeling apprehensive and unsure about the future. She has a long talk with Elizabeth, who can definitely understand the feeling. Robin is afraid Patrick might rethink his decision to return to her and their family, and forging a future with her and Emma, now that another baby is in the picture.  For his part, Patrick asks Sabrina some very direct questions about the baby, and Sabrina’s answer will set the course for several lives, for several years to come. 

Modern Day Delilah

Wary of his wee Benedict, Julian takes Morgan aside and reinforces his threats: he will cause harm and drang to those Morgan loves if the turncoat doesn’t stay on course and get the goods on Dad.  Sonny, however, is no idiot. He has his own misgivings and doubts about Morgan’s sudden prodigal return, which he confides to Olivia.  Shawn also has questions about Morgan’s loyalty – and gets some answers when Duke runs into father and son on the pier. 
 


Ava is feeling bereft without her stocking-stuffer, and ends up needling Sonny about Connie’s murder.  Julian stuns her with news of yet another heretofore unknown offspring – this time a son – and then has her cage rattled by the impeccably coiffed Detective West – who has a theory that implicates her in Nina Clay’s attempted murder.



 
Silas isn’t very happy with Nathan West, since his girlfriend was given an an unexpected third degree and resulting bombshell of revelation.  Nathan also conveniently left out a few facts with Sam regarding Silas’ marital status—namely, that Nina Clay has been brain dead for over twenty years.  Silas confronts the detective smack in the middle of the PCPD, which gives Nathan the opportunity to fire off more questions.  And while Detective West has his theory about Ava Jerome’s complicity in the case – Sam, having found her feet and regained her equilibrium – has one of her own.



Also Next Week – Lucy confides her secret to Felicia after she has a steamy dream, while Scott is put in an impossible position with Franco.  Sam wrestles with putting her animosity for Franco aside to help investigate Carly’s case, while new evidence also comes to light with Silas.

Listen to Angela: GH Preview for Week of January 6 - Can't Touch Bottom



Can’t Touch Bottom



 Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me




Franco, by his own admission, has seen and done some pretty creatively heinous things in his vaunted and colorful past.  He’s taunted, he’s baited, he’s manipulated, and he’s killed.  But despite Olivia Falconeri’s inexplicable foray into his family dynamics, and Michael’s understandable rage upon finding out about Franco and Carly’s budding relationship – Franco is struggling to divest from his past and carve a new future. This is hard to do when he keeps seeing his mother – who he thought he had killed and buried in a neatly-dug grave – ambling about looking disheveled and somewhat pissed off.  Heather’s not happy, and an unhappy Heather is a scheming Heather. And a scheming Heather is a deadly one.



After Ava’s little spat with Carly, Franco warns his former flame to keep her distance, but Ava, having had a bad day overall so far, spits back with a few threats of her own.  When Franco discovers that Carly is missing – disappeared without explanation or trace – he and Kiki immediately suspect Ava…but Michael has another candidate in mind. 



Silent Running



With a pocketful of wishes and a bucketload of angst, Morgan makes a big decision that will have far-reaching consequences no matter how things shake out.   Julian isn’t about to let him simply tender a resignation letter, conduct  an exit interview over cappuccino, and depart with a severance check.  The only severing in this business usually happens to body parts. Stuck, Morgan becomes one of the  most derided and loathed forms of mob life, out of a desire to protect the people he loves.  But however benign his motivations, the prodigal is still trapped, forced to lie and obfuscate, and the emotional toll is only beginning for him.




 Hardest Part



After introducing himself to Silas so politely at GH, Nathan pays a visit to Sam, clearly surmising that the girlfriend is the soft spot and easiest to turn. Clearly he doesn’t know Sam.  When she demands to know the reason for his visit, his answer stops her in her tracks, and then he begins bombarding her with questions – forging ahead to the point of harassment, until finally he drops the second bomb on Sam.  When Silas arrives shortly afterward,  the time has come to speak of many things – and Silas does, finally telling a shocked Sam what he’s been holding back for so long.  Nathan believes Silas’ version is nothing but a cover and a lie…but does Sam?



Kind of Woman



Sabrina is juggling and multitasking like nobody’s business  -- taking down the Christmas ornaments, tossing out Britt’s voodoo doll collection, and sending her mother’s wedding gown back to Puerto Rico. Oh, and nursing the ex-with-a-gunshot-wound-in-Felix’s-bed while grappling with the fact that she’s pregnant.  She considers telling Patrick, discards the idea--and reconsiders again. Carlos, even in the throes of pain and possible sepsis, affirms his support for her and says he wants to be a significant part of her life. Sabrina is understandably confused and unsure of just what she should do, but the decision may be taken out of her hands when Felix opens his mouth and…speaks…to Patrick. This in turn galvanizes Patrick into demanding some truth-telling from his former almost-wife.





 Also Next Week:



Sonny Catches Morgan and Ava in entangled circumstances, while Anna susses the truth about the warehouse shooting, confronting the witness who saw it all.  Heather’s plan for Carly goes into overdrive, and Franco finds an alarming clue.



Songs:



Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me:  Elton John, Caribou

Silent Running: Mike and the Mechanics, Silent Running

Hardest Part:  Coldplay, Special Feature

Kind of Woman:  Stevie Nicks, Bella Donna
