Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Mayhem at the Ball

Written by Connie Phillips
Published November 14, 2007

On Tuesday’s General Hospital:

The Spencers were dealt yet another blow when Lucky and Lulu learned of Luke’s heart attack, Nikolas prowled Wyndemere, and Anthony’s rein of terror continued.

Lulu and Lucky were both found and brought to Luke, who continued to insist his heart attack was nothing to be concerned about. It was a particularly hard blow to Lucky who was still shaken by the knowledge Jake was not his son. In a poignant moment between father and son, Lucky thanked Luke for his ability to always tell the truth no matter the circumstances, and added that he hoped he could be the same type of parent with his children.

Lulu, unable to stand being chased by Anthony, went into the courtyard and dared the lunatic to come get her and leave everyone else alone. While he held her at gunpoint, Johnny showed up and challenged his father, who then insisted Johnny prove his loyalty by shooting Lulu himself

In typical Spencer fashion, Lulu acted first and never really thought about the consequences. How could she be so sure someone would be there to save her from the psycho? Of course someone was, and that was Johnny. As if the parallels between Logan/Lulu and Luke/Laura weren’t enough, now we have an interested third party (Johnny) to make it truly a recreation of the super couple from the 80s.

Before Anthony had gone after Lulu, it was Leyla, Robin, and Patrick he had been tormenting. Believing Leyla was his deceased wife, he pushed her to choose who should be the one to die: Patrick or Robin. After unsuccessfully trying to talk him down, Leyla answered Patrick, and then threw herself in front of him, taking the bullet.

As Robin and Patrick tended to her wounds, Robin had another premonition of her own death, and then watched as Patrick displayed obvious concern and affection for Leyla. Later Robin offered Leyla a heartfelt apology for the way she had treated her in the past, admitting that giving up Patrick had been extremely hard, even though it had been what needed to be done.
