Dandy times here on General Hospital!

I suppose the big news is that Ginny has confessed to the murder of
D.L. Brock, and Bobbie is off the hook.

Play by play description:  Scorpio has, as you all know, been hinting
to Ginny that he knows, and has been laying little traps all over the
place.  For instance, he hung a copy of the bullet-shot plaque at the
station, which threw Ginny into a frenzy.  Then he had a dry cleaner
call her to ask what he should do with the dress; he couldn't get
the blood stains out of it.  And finally, Scorpio went over to the
Webber's to return her lost property (the purse and something else
she had discarded the day after the shooting).  Rick came in during
this meeting, and when Scorpio left, Ginny broke down hysterically.

Rick refused to believe her at first.  He gave her a rather large
glass of some tan-colored liquor, and made her drink the whole thing
before continuing.  Then she told him how D.L. had been blackmailing
her, how it was her life she was trying to save ("so to save your life
you took another?").  Rick went from disbelief to rejection.  He called
Scorpio, but at Ginny's pleading, managed to get the confession delayed
till the next morning, so she could spend one last night at home with
"some semblance of normalcy."  Rick spent the night on the sofa.  And
the next morning, Ginny was preoccupied with folding the laundry before
she left.  Mike has yet to be told; Amy has been told.

But I jump ahead.  Rick called Lee to ask advice about a good attorney
("you're my wife and it's my responsibility"), and a young trial
lawyer was recommended.  Rick, Ginny, and young trial lawyer appeared
at Scorpio's office just as Bobbie and Jake were leaving it (puzzled
looks on their faces and all), and Ginny confessed.  Rick was taking
it all okay, until Ginny admitted to having drugged Bobbie and slashing
Brock's scrapbook.  That was too much for him to take, and he turned
right off again.  He went to get her a toothbrush, et al., and Ginny
has been carted off to jail.  Scorpio told Bobbie she's been cleared
and that Ginny did it; Bobbie couldn't believe it either, after all,
Ginny and she had had drinks together!

Meanwhile, on the bedroom front:
Frisco and Felicia have been having a helluva time getting to bed
together!  First, Felicia's grandmother wants to have an all-night
chit chat, then Josh thought it was *tomorrow* night, then Tania
and Tony haven't any furniture in their own place.  F & F are
quite frustrated at this point, but making hot and heavy eyes at
one another.  (Are the GH writers/producers pushing them as the
replacement Luke and Laura?  I mean, all this stuff in Mexico,
Frisco being sort-of-bad, Felicia even has long blond hair!)

Sean is gloating about his treasure, and Felicia is still confiding
in him, fool that she is.

That's about it for today!
