Previews for the week of 13-Jan-2014
by Carol Banks Weber
**Lucas makes his way back home to Port Charles, once he gets news of Carlys suspicious disappearance.
Ava attempts to clue Julian in to Lucas Jones real identity.
Lucas doesnt give Julian the time of day.
Lucas and Sam make their introductions as siblings.
Bobbie is shown acting like a typically overly concerned mom amping out about the disappearance of her daughter, Carly, to god knows who, or what fate.
Viewers get to watch Heather victimizing Carly this week, with clever, one-liners, and near-misses.
Carly resorts to groveling so Heather will be merciful.
Carly does the usual trying-to-outwit-her-masterful-kidnapper routine. Run, *****, run!
Michael goes crazy trying to get a fix on his missing mom, by fixating on Franco.
Franco and Bobbie do a full-court press on Scotty to pursue this Carly kidnapping case.
Franco talks to Sonny about the Carly kidnapping situation, to see if he can get a read on her, swearing up and down hes not a part of it but a victim of a set-up. Will the mobster savagely call Franco a freak? and break glass?
It does look like Francos getting set up for the fall.
When they get a load of Carlys trunk, they cant help but feel shes doomed.
Kiki yammers at Franco with withering indictment: Whats with the bloody blade?!
Unbeknownst to anyone, A.J. slips away to water his secret Eden. (Code for: imbibe when hes not supposed to as a lush.)
Michael becomes preoccupied with familial concern for A.J.s welfare, as well he should.
A.J. repeats history, drunk driving.
The cub unsuccessfully attempts to pull away from the cougar. Alas, Ava proves shes a tough act to close with a hapless Morgan.
Britt plans to hold onto the baby that never belonged to her in the first place.
Britt may as well. Doesnt look like Lulu and Dante are staying together any time soon.
Lulu still cant bring herself to be around Dante, whom she fast views as the enemy and betrayer. Dante sad face.
Nikolas has wedding bells on the brainwith Britt. Fastest courtship in the history of soaps. Nobody has a gun to his head either. One good round of sex, and the man loses his mind.
Patrick takes Sabrina aside to make sure shes got her facts straight about this pregnancy.
Instead of delving deeper into Robins mental state during her containment, shes busy obsessing about more ordinary, soapy matters, such as Sabrinas wrench. Robin takes Elizabeth aside, showing the two women as friends sharing.
Patrick feels its his right to probe into Sabrinas business, now that Carlos seems to be involved. But Robin expects him to butt out.
Dr. Liesl Obrechts secret? More Cassadines wait in the shadows, not all of them dead as presumed.
Dr. Obrecht surfaces at GH harboring major agenda.
Silas v. Nathan, its on.
Sam accompanies Silas to visit with his comatose wife, Nina. Unfortunately, shortly after, Nina shorts out.
Det. Nathan West tries to get Silas goat.
Ava requires Julian pitch in to eliminate Nathan.
Nathan believes where theres smoke, theres fire, especially after recent developments lead to more secrets about Silas thought long buried.
Nathan seems personally invested in nailing Silas for this case.
The worst thing a guy can do is show his desperation. Scotty, Scotty, let Lucy go. The more he tries with her, the more of a psycho he appears, especially when he gets too touchy-feely one day.
Scotty wont take no for an answer from Lucy. He goes to drastic measures.
Felicia steps in, insisting Scotty leave her pals be.
Scotty immediately jumps to the hopeful delusion that Kevins stepping out on Lucy, after he eavesdrops on the psychiatrists phone conversation with someone of the female persuasion on the other line. The honey cements it for Scotty.
Scotty tries to use the Kevin honey line on Lucy, to make her see his light.
If nothing else, this sure builds rooting value for an absent T.J. Rafe delights in the new opportunity he made for himself with Molly as the dubious prize. Rafe is actually stupid enough to believe hes got a shot with the princess now.
Duke and Anna innocently go about the business of a loving couple, getting ready for the next engagement.
Anna will wonder where Duke goes off to when hes not with her.
Next week: Anna will soon get hip to Morgan as the guy who plugged Max
Julian manages to get Duke alone. Julian is carrying heat
Shawn puts Morgan on the spot. He smells a rat
Heather intends to set Franco up for his betrayal
Scotty has to bring Franco in
Lukes at the boathouse, agog
Felix expresses contrition to Sabrina
Who becomes the new chief of staff? Oh my
A witness from Silas past sings like a canary... More Cassadines appear on the horizon. They will catch Spencers, and maybe Morgans eye. **
