On Monday’s General Hospital:
A paralyzed Zacchara is shipped off to a hospital for the criminally insane while Luke remains in denial over his ailing heart and all of Port Charles mourns Emily.
After days of not being seen by anyone, Lucky showed up at Luke's hospital bedside. Having been told by Tracy and Lulu that Lucky was working on Emily's murder, Luke tried to comfort a clueless Lucky. Emily's death was just one more blow to the man's crumbling existence and he turned to Sam for comfort and sympathy. She told him he doesn't have to lose Jake and Cameron and encouraged Lucky to go visit them.
Geary's portrayal of Luke in this fragile state has been top-notch and once again proves just how much talent there is in the veterans of this show, talent that is often ignored as focus is shifted elsewhere. I suspect this is just the beginning of Lucky on yet another downward spiral. The question is whether he will fall back to his addictions for comfort.
At the hospital, Patrick tells Johnny the bullets and the fall have rendered his father paralyzed from the neck down and the condition is not something surgery can repair. Before he is sent to a hospital for the criminally insane, Anthony tells his son to use Trevor to seal his position as the new head of his crime business and then kill him. Johnny might have to stand in line, though; killing Trevor is number one on Sonny and Jason's to-do list.
It appears to this viewer this hard and tough outside exterior Johnny is displaying is a ruse. Is his final goal his father's wish? I'm not sure, but I am sure nothing is as it seems.
