THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
– ah, finally. That’s more like it. Ah. Release them. – [Groans] – You know, the tragedy is that we could have done this together, valentin, you and me, father and son. Instead, I’ve had to choose another heir to carry on the cassadine name. Your betrayal broke my heart.
[Dramatic music] So it’s only fair that I return the favor.
[Gunshot] – So let’s hear it for our magicians, georgie spinelli and james west.
[Laughing] – Ok, georgie and james were so adorable. But where did obrecht go? – I–
[Tense music] – Looks like the assistant disappeared for real, huh? Are you watching? Yeah?
[Laughs] – Hey, there’s the proud mama. Where’s georgie and james? – In the dressing room. Georgie keeps trying to figure out what went wrong, and james keeps insisting that magic is real. – So what happened? Did aunt liesl get stuck or something? – That’s the mystery. Liesl vanished from the vanishing cabinet.
– So don’t go anywhere because the next act is the one you’ve all been waiting for. And you don’t want to miss it.
[Applause]
– Ms. Gilmore, where is ms. Corbin? – She was here a second ago. Maybe she went to the ladies room? – Thank you.
– How are you? Are you still upset that spencer talked to dex like that? – You were pretty annoyed with him too. – Oh, well, yeah. I was furious. I still am furious. But I’m not dating him. – Spencer, you’re brooding at the bar. Are you just being a cassadine, or is something actually up? – I blew it with trina. Again. – Hi. – Did mark find you? – Who? – The bodyguard from gallery jewelers. – Oh, he has a name? Who knew?
[Laughs] Honestly, sasha, can’t a lady powder her nose in peace? – Gladys. Where’s the bracelet?
[Dramatic music] – Consider us even.
– [Breathing shakily] – Anna! Let me see how bad it is. – Go after him!
[Dramatic music]
– Oh my god. I’ve been robbed! – Ok, gladys, stay calm. – What? Stay calm? A gajillion-dollar piece of borrowed jewelry has been stolen. – It probably just fell off. Look around. – What’s wrong? Ms. Corbin? Where’s the bracelet? – Ok. That’s what I’m trying to tell sasha. Somebody stole it. – Or maybe the bracelet is just missing. Maybe the clasp broke. – Ms. Corbin, when was the last time you’re sure you had it?
[Tense music]
– Ah! I can’t remember. I just pray we find it soon. – It’s not just the way spencer spoke to dex. It’s that spencer seemed to go out of his way to pick a fight. – Look, he’s just being an entitled jerk. He’s overcompensating for his own insecurity by lording his imaginary status over people who actually work for a living. – Yeah, but he wanted to do better. And I really do believe that. Spencer was lashing out, and dex was the nearest target. Something’s going on with him. – Like what? – I’m not sure, but I’m gonna find out tonight. I’m not letting spencer hide this from me anymore. – [Groans] Listen to me. Listen to me. If your father leaves town with that necklace, we will never find him. – There’s no time. I have to get you to a hospital. – [Moaning]
[Tense music]
– That’s nice work with ms. Devane. You provided just enough incentive to get my son to talk. – It was your strategy. – Yeah, and an effective one, if I may say so myself. So you followed up on holly sutton? – She’s still listed as a patient in the swiss burn unit, but she’s not there. She doesn’t have a room. She’s not being treated. And there’s no patients in the facility that fit her description, so she’s not using an alias. – Hmm. All the more proof that that fire was just a ruse. No doubt ms. Sutton has been busy looking for her son while she should have been recovering. – You want us to move him? – Yes, in a manner of speaking. It’s time to offload ethan lovett at a profit.
[Cell phone ringing] Excuse me. When it rains. Tobias? Yeah, have you found lucy coe? I want her home, pcpd, and the metro court under constant surveillance. That’s where she’s probably going to run to. She’s one of our remaining loose ends that I need to have tied up, now that I have everything I want. – Who would steal that bracelet? And at a charity event no less? – Gladys, how about we retrace your steps? Besides the bathroom, did you ever leave the ballroom? – No, I’ve been here the– wait. Wait a second. I did. I went backstage to tell maxie what a great job she’s doing. – Did you talk to anybody else while you were backstage? – Now that you mention it, I– I did see cody bell. – Ladies a nd gentlemen, can ihave your attention, please? We have another anniversary to celebrate. Ten years ago today, at the 2013 nurses ball, there was a performance that not only brought down the house, it set this place on fire. It’s been a few years since we’ve seen them, but they are back. I am so happy to introduce the magic wands.
[Cheers and applause]

– All the guys were really good. – Oh, come on. Every football team needs a quarterback. Every heart-stopping, jaw-dropping, all-male revue needs a centerpiece, and that is obviously you. – Oh, careful, sweetie. – Oh. Oh, my gosh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t see you there. You know what, you need to hurry and join your group, so you’re not late for your performance. – Hey. Break a leg. It means good luck. Cute kid. – Yeah, she is. And her performance is gonna be darling, which reminds me, I have some stuff to do. – I’ll leave you to it. – Thanks again, milo. – Thanks for asking me. – Now, if I could only find liesl. – Hey. – Hey. Have you seen liesl? – No, I haven’T. And this is ridiculous because she knows she has the bone marrow harvest tomorrow. – [Sighs] Hi.
[Chuckles] Oh. Is the nurses ball still on? I wanted to watch it, but, well, I had to deal with a– a crisis. So how’s it going? Are you enjoying the show? – Uh, yeah. There’s certainly a lot of, um, local talent on display. – [Chuckles] Yeah. – This happens every year? – Almost. I really love how our community comes together to raise money for a good cause. – Yeah, it seems like everybody’S…
[Soft music] Yeah. – He’s looking a little bit tired, isn’t he? Little red cheeks. He’s so– – hey, just don’t touch him.
– I got your text. What’s going on? – Well, we can’t find aunt liesl. – We questioned georgie, james, the stage managers. Everybody says the same thing– liesl stepped inside the disappearing cabinet and never stepped out. – How does this work? – Ok, there is a false back that the assistant slides behind to disappear. Then they slide back to reappear. – All right. Ok, there’s a trapdoor on the bottom. Is there a trapdoor on the stage? – I don’t know. I’m not sure. – I can text the stage manager. – Yeah, yeah. – What if she fell through the trap door? Aunt liesl could be hurt! – Please tell me I haven’t already screwed up the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
[Soft music] Can we talk, please? – Ok. Tell me, spencer, what is going on with you? – What did you think of magic milo? – Those magic wands have gotten felicia all flustered. – I’m not going to apologize for enjoying their act. The one who always gets me flustered is my mac. – My brother’s a very fortunate man. – Don’t I know it? – [Giggles] You were so good! – The things I’ll do for charity. – Yeah, well, hey, what about my sacrifice? I mean, I had to share you with a ballroom full of thirsty women. – Mm. Ok, the things you do for charity.
– Bracelet’s been found.
[Both sigh] – Thank god. – Where was it? – One of the wardrobe people found it when she was moving some of the performers’ clothes. Fell out of a tux pocket. – I told you it was stolen! I told you all. – I can’t believe someone would actually– who was it? – Hey, has anyone seen my–oh.
[Tense music] What’s going on?
– Any problems? – Everything went according to plan on my end. – Excellent. Now I want you to personally check the state rooms, make sure they’re appropriately prepared for our guests. Is tobias back yet? – That’s where there was a complication. – Please stay awake. Please stay awake. – Whatever happens– – nothing’s gonna happen. – I really thank god we found each other. – I don’t know how I got so lucky. – You’re a good man. – Oh, I don’t know about that. I can think of plenty who’d disagree with you.
[Gasps] – Oh, they don’t know you like I do.
They don’t know your–
they don’t know your heart… like I do. – You know me better than anyone.
– I love you. – And I love you.
[Ambulance siren wailing] Oh, thank god. There, you hear that? The ambulance is here.
Anna? Anna.
Psst! Psst!
All good! – Yes, I did. – Of course I know that. – Oh my god, I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you like that. – It’s ok. You know that I would never hurt the baby, right?
[Baby cooing] – Of course I know that. I just…
[Sighs] Did you ever hate letting your kids out of your sight when they were babies? – Yes, I did. – I just like to be with ace. I mean, I feel like everyone’s just trying to lay some claim on him or something, but he’s all I’ve got. – Honey, I know that. But even so, babies, as you can see, pick up the emotions of people around them, you know? And how do you think your constant anxiety is going to affect him? – [Chuckles] I would never hurt my son. – I know that, sweetheart. That’s not what I meant.
[Cell phone ringing] I’m sorry. I have to get that. Laura collins.
[Tense music] My god. Where is she? Ok, I’ll be right there. Thank you.
Esme, I’m sorry. I have to go. I have to go right now. We’ll talk more later.
– I am sorry about what happened with dex. – Sorry because you treated him like dirt or sorry because i was disappointed? – I’m sorry that I upset you. That’s the last thing that I want to do. – You do know that’s the wrong answer, don’t you? – Dex is not a good guy. Whatever is going on between him and josslyn– – is none of your business. – But cam is my best friend, so it is my business. – Cam is in california living his dreams, and that is not the reason why you went after dex. You were spoiling for a fight, and dex was there. And you knew that he worked with your uncle and that he wasn’t gonna fight back. That is the definition of entitled. – You’re right, you’re right, you’re right. I’m sorry. – [Sighs] – I’m trying to do better. – Do you mean that? – Of course I do. – Good. Apologize to dex.
[Cell phone ringing]
[Tense music] Are you really gonna answer that phone right now? – Valentin? Yeah? He’s–what? What? I’ll meet you at the hospital. – Is this cody bell? – That’s him. – Yeah, or you could just ask me. – Mr. Bell, is this your jacket? – How would I know? All tuxes look the same. – So where’s yours? – It went missing while I was on stage. That might or might not be mine. What’s going on? – Cody, did you find a bracelet on the floor and maybe put it away for safekeeping so that you could return it later? – No. – Then why was it found in your pocket? – Because you stole it. – I never touched that bracelet, ok? If they found it in my jacket, it’s because someone else put it there. – Take this conversation elsewhere. I’m trying to put on a show. – Cody, I want to believe you. There must be some way to clear this up. – There’s nothing to clear up. I never touched that bracelet. And besides, the bracelet’s back, so no harm, no foul, right? – Not so fast. – Hey. What’s going on here? – Detective scorpio, arrest this man.
[Dramatic music]
[Soft jazz music]
– Dex, come here. – What’s up? – We have a problem.
– Mac, this is a mistake. – A million-dollar bracelet was found in mr. Bell’s jacket pocket. That’s grand larceny. – Yeah, except I didn’t steal it, ok? Mac, you got to believe me. – I’m just following the evidence. – Sasha, please. – This guy was hanging around me all night, insinuating himself with my daughter-in-law, following me wherever I– I mean, apparently, casing me so he could strike at the perfect moment.
[Scoffs] Do you deny following me in here? – I don’t deny it. – So you admit to following gladys?
– Spencer, we are right in the middle of something.
[Cell phone ringing] – I’m sorry. It’s my uncle victor. I have to. Yes, uncle? – Took you long enough. – Sorry about that. Now is not a good time. – Doesn’t matter. Do you want to get your brother away from esme? – You know that I do. – Then come to the haunted star immediately. And, spencer, tell no one.
[Dramatic music]
– Valentin? Where’s anna? – They just took her in there. – Tell me what happened. – Victor shot anna in the abdomen. The bullet is still inside of her. She coded in the ambulance, but they were able to bring her back. – Anna is very strong. She will make it through this. – Where is victor now? – I don’t know. He got away. – What about lucy? Where is she? – She was able to get out of the house. But I don’t know where she is now.
– [Breathing rapidly] Ok, I’m ok. They’ll be ok if I just find scorpio and tell him that victor found the safe house.
– Don’t move.
– if you scream, I will shoot you. – Well, I would really rather you didn’T. – Good, let’s go. – No, you know, this is just a whole case of mistaken identity. Actually, it’s not because you do know who I am. But I am not a spy. I promise you. I don’t know how to decode. – Good. – I can’t de-bomb anything. – Now move. – No, do you know what one thing I do know how to do? This. – Ah! Damn it! – When valentin called from the ambulance, he said that anna had been shot. Did he offer any other detail? – Valentin didn’t call me. The hospital called me. – When? Now, I was always under the impression that anna and valentin arrived at the hospital– – right before me. Valentin, did victor say anything? Did he give you any idea at all what his next move might be? – All he said was he had already chosen a new heir. – What did he mean by that? – Mr. Cassadine? – How is anna?
[Dramatic music] – So this is where you’re staying. – The haunted star suits my current needs. Did you tell anyone you were coming here? – No. No, I followed your instructions to the letter. So tell me, what’s happening with ace? Is everything all right? – Why wouldn’t it be? – When I spoke to you this afternoon, you told me to sit tight. Has something changed? Is there something that you need me to do? – Her things are still in the dressing room. Her car’s in the garage, and no one’s seen her. – Anything? – No sign of dr. Obrecht. – Sonny, aunt liesl, she’s scheduled to have that stem cell transplant tomorrow. Willow, she cannot wait. And if aunt liesl is missing and she’s hurt somewhere– – nina. We’re gonna find your aunt liesl, ok? And everything’s gonna be fine.
– So you admit to following gladys tonight? – Yes, I followed her, but not to steal some bracelet. – Then what reason would you have? How do you even know gladys corbin? – Gladys and I have crossed paths a few times. – There’s no big mystery here. Cody saw that bracelet on my wrist and thought it was an easy payday.
– Do you have anything else to say? – I didn’t do this. Check the bracelet. I guarantee you my fingerprints aren’t on it. – [Scoffs] That doesn’t prove anything. You can wipe off fingerprints. – Cuffs. Cody bell, you’re under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Should you give up that right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. – I know you’re still in the trying stage, but I can probably expect a grandchild within the year? Yes? – Whoa, ok, we are still in the seltzer solidarity stage.
[Chuckles] We have a long way to go. – I know, but you two are the most efficient people I know. I’m sure it won’t take too long.
[Cell phone ringing] Ah. Ugh. It’s the station. Excuse me. Commissioner ashford. Anna devane’s at gh? – We’ve prepped ms. Devane for surgery to remove the bullet. – How bad? – She’s in critical condition. We’re doing everything we can to keep her blood pressure up enough to profuse her organs, including her brain. Gunshots can create considerable damage from the bullet fragmenting. We won’t know the extent of the organ damage until we’re inside and can assess what we’re dealing with. Excuse me. – I’m sorry. I’ve got to make a phone call. Come on, esme. Pick up. – Where’s anna? What did the doctor say? – This is your fault, cassadine. She wouldn’t be in this state if it weren’t for you. – Stop it, robert! Did valentin shoot anna, or did victor do that? Don’t take this out on valentin. – No, you’re right. Victor shot anna to hurt me. This is all my fault.
– Ah! – Looks like you got nowhere to go. – Oh. You may have great, big muscles, but you have a tiny, little gun. And I have– I have this! Ah! – [Groans]
– A boa, really?
– Do you understand these rights as i I have explained them to you? – I always do. Yes, I understand. – Let’s go. – Cody! Whoa, hold on. What’s going on? – It’s a frame-up, sam. This time, I’m innocent.
[Tense music]
[Cheers and applause] – Hello, everyone. I’m carly spencer. Now, I don’t work at gh, but my mother is an integral part of general hospital. Mom, come on out.
[Cheers and applause] Now, for the few of you who do not know her, this is my mother, barbara jean spencer, chief nursing officer at general hospital. – Whoo! – Now, we’re not only celebrating general hospital’s 60th year. We are also celebrating you. This amazing, beautiful woman has been helping people and saving people’s lives for the past 45 years. And what makes general hospital so special is its people, the passion and dedication to helping communities and making the world a better place. And no one embodies that more than my mother, nurse bobbie spencer. – Dr. Hardy, everybody in the hospital is talking about you being released sometime today. I’m so happy for you. Jesse, I graduated at the top of my class! – Bobbie, what– what did they find? – A very large tumor. They took ten lymph glands. Three were positive, but the rest appeared clean. The odds are heavily in favor of its not having spread any further.
[Soft music] – Oh, god, not barbara jean’s heart.
[Sobbing]
– I don’t know how you did it. I don’t know how you sat next to your little girl as she lay in bed, knowing that you had to say goodbye to her. I can’t do it. I just can’t do it. – I hope you never have to. But somehow, we always find the strength to do what’s required of us. This is medication, commonly known as the morning after pill. It prevents the possibility of pregnancy, and it’s doctor-prescribed to sexual assault victims, which means I’m not authorized. But I’m giving it to you anyway. The instructions are very clear and simple if you decide you want to take it. I have tolerated your insults for years because it’s my son. He’s a wonderful young man, and I’m very proud of him. And if you ever insult my son again, I will bitch slap you all the way to the canadian border.
– I wish I had
known you longer. I wish I would have realized the gift that you are long ago. I am humbled by your compassion
and your capacity
for forgiveness. – She is a consummate healer, infinitely kind and loyal to those she loves, and equally fierce to her adversaries. I should know because I’ve been both. She found me when I was at my worst, and she loved me until I was at my best. And I’m not the only one. That’s what she does for everyone whose life she touches. That’s what nurse bobbie spencer does for general hospital.
– Oh. Oh.
[Breathing heavily] Sonny. Hi. – Hi. You ok? – I’m not dead. – Yeah, I can see that. Good for you. – Thanks to you. – I do what I can. How can I help you? – Please. Ok, listen. I really have this very important errand I’m on if you’ll excuse me, but what do we do with– – I’ll take care of it. – Thanks. – Yeah. – Ta.
[Tense music]
– You’ve already done your part. I called on you and, voila, here you are. – Here I am. So now what?
What’s that? – Oh, don’t you recognize the sound of ships’ engines? – Uncle victor, what’s going on?
– Oh, my god. – I was told you died in paris. – Commissioner, I’d say that reports of my death are exaggerated. – Clearly, because here you are. Meanwhile, I have reports of multiple shots fired at a house in a quiet suburban neighborhood. And now one of my best friends is fighting for her life. So why don’t you tell me what the hell is going on? – My father shot anna. – What? Where is victor? – I don’t know. But I do know that whatever insane plan he’s been hatching he will be unleashing on all of us very soon. So we need to stop him.
[Cheers and applause] – Thank you, honey, for that beautiful and unexpected tribute. It is an honor, and it’s also been my honor to be involved with general hospital’s first 60 years. But I’ve also been given another honor this evening, the chance to speak about lucy coe.
[Soft music] It might seem counterintuitive that I’m up here this evening because lucy and I were never friends. Lucy and I were actually tearing each other’s hair out long before the word “frenemies” was even invented. She came to town disguised as a librarian and seduced the man I loved. That was only the beginning. Lucy lied. Lucy cheated. She even married a quartermaine. – Oh, you are one to talk, bobbie! You started out by lying to laura that you slept with scotty! Ah! – But somewhere along the way, 1994 to be exact, lucy shocked everyone, certainly me, by discovering a passion for giving. Lucy finagled a place for herself as mistress of ceremonies of the very first nurses ball, and it transformed her, all that willfulness, all of that guile, the conniving, the deceit, the vanity… – vanity? Vanity? You know what? Your red hair hasn’t been natural for 100 years! – Lucy cajoled. She arm-twisted. She blackmailed to get all of us out here either on stage or in the audience that first year and for many years thereafter. From 1994 to the early 2000s, and 2013 to the present, the general hospital nurses ball has raised millions of dollars for hiv and aids related charities. And lucy coe was the leader, the inspiration, and, yes, the relentless nag who made it all happen. Lucy coe isn’t here tonight. – Ugh, ugh! – But none of us would be here without her. – Whoa!
[Crowd gasping] – What the hell did you call me? – [Gasps] – Lucy! You’re alive? – Yeah, I’m back. Deal with it! – Well, welcome home.
[Cheers and applause]
