Previews for the week of 17-Mar-2008 by Carol Banks Weber
**The cannery goes boom, and down goes pregnant Carly into the dark, deep drink below. But not before she sees her son Michael again after such a long time away. Johnny delivers Michael from harm. Look at Johnny go! What a superman. Sonny comes across Michael, battered and bruised, but none the worse for wear, except emotionally. Michael owns up to causing Kate nearly grave injury. Sonny hunts for Carly high and low but can only pull Claudia out of the rubble. As soon as he ascertains it's her and not his ex-wife, he moves on after a few dismissive taunts. Needless to say, this riles Claudia to no end. Where Sonny, Jax and Jerry have no luck, Ric chances upon Carly bobbing in the river, and does the right thing, he gets her immediate medical care. Thusly notified of Carly's condition, Jax and Sonny make haste to attend to her at the hospital. Before they do, they bitterly squabble about what's happened to Michael, and why. Jax tries to lay down the law forbidding Sonny from further damaging Carly's boys with his dangerous lifestyle. Carly experiences "death," GH style. In the afterlife, she plays pool with Jason, hanging all over his every holy word. Lucky for Jax, Jason commands her to life again and not waste any more time playing pool with him. Carly rouses, concerned for her unborn baby. At first, she receives the all-clear. Carly hears from Michael everything that happened since he bought that blaster. Then, incredulous to Jax who is monitoring this talk, she absolves him, preferring it go no further than the room. Carly and Jax carry on about what's best for their unborn baby and Sonny's influence. Jax wants it to end, Carly defends Sonny. Claudia introduces herself to Carly, reeling off her entire story and connection to Sonny. The second Claudia walks out the door, Carly suffers a miscarriage. Jax and Sonny both ram-jam back to Carly's side, just as ob-gyn Kelly delivers the sad verdict (after an ultra-sound confirmation). Jax and Carly have a discourse on the next step with the children. He kind of puts his foot down about Sonny, and she has to listen. Alexis anguishes for Jax. Sonny relays to Kate that it was his oldest son who accidentally put a bullet in her. Ric looks after Marianna, giving 1,000 percent of his effort. Lulu flinches at fired-up, mobster Johnny. Maybe she was hasty to see them as a couple. Johnny proceeds to formulate a means of dispatching Sonny. Logan opens his eyes, coma over. Lulu's not far. Johnny and Lulu arrive at the conclusion that they are incompatible after all, for what's coming and their lifestyles. Anthony and Trevor are suddenly in league with one another. Sonny moves for a permanent cease and desist, if the Zacchara mob family doesn't mind. Jason induces Sonny to back off his never-ending obsession to wipe out Johnny. Jason and Claudia preach peace and wisdom, instead of rash violent blow-outs, to Sonny and Johnny. Will they listen? Alexis and Diane find themselves on opposing sides again; this time, in relation to the cannery going boom. Jason brings Elizabeth around to leaving the cops out of this (turning herself in for the hit 'n run) as of yet. Sam jumps through hoops to win Lucky's approval. In vain, my friend, in vain. Robin sees how one-sided and unfair she's been to Patrick regarding paternity secrets. She is one to talk, and she is penitent. Robin and Patrick jaw about the risks of going forth with their special pregnancy. Nikolas and Emily finally catch on that it's time to go, be well, wish each other God speed.
