As some of you know, my story Switching Places was written at the request of an elderly woman I spent volunteer hours with. The ladies have been rather disappointed with GH for the last six months, so they came up with a game similar to fantasy football or baseball. Now that the team is set, they wanted me to write them a story. I feel like I owe it to them, after all they have been my own personal research staff having watched GH since it's first episode.
I am posting it here so that you can enjoy their story as well. The premise was to take the mess on television now and take it to a place where it would be watchable. Some of you may disagree with who they want to keep and who they want to eliminate. I do for a couple of characters, but this is their story. So here it goes.
Oh, so that you are aware, they changed the Executive Staff as well to their own personal dream team.
New Head of ABC Daytime : John Wells who has produced ER and the West Wing
New Executive Producer : Wendy Riche, but only because Gloria Monty is dead. (My LOL's were upset to hear that one). Adding on Laura Innes as a director.
Co-Head Writers: Aaron Sorkin and Donald Bellisario Both write action well, great dialogue and have great respect for their female characters, aka West Wing (Abby Bartlett, Donna Moss, Ansley Hayes, and of course CJ Cregg. & NCIS and JAG. With a female boss on NCIS quirky characters like Abby, and of course great action and police drama, all things GH needs.
For romance they want to add romance novelist like Victoria Alexander and Casey Michaels, neither are my cup of tea, but they like them.
They also basically replaced the whole lighting staff, hair and makeup staff as well as wardrobe staff.
So here is the Prologue, as discussed with Elsa, this would be a Friday episode.
Sonny heard a noise, then nothing. Suspicious by nature, he got up and made it easy for the men in black to grab him. As he was carried out the door and tossed into the black van he saw the body of his 'wife" next to him.
"Hey, Corinthos, you are a fool. The woman lying next t you, is the one behind your son's shooting." was the last thing he heard before the doors closed.
Winifred was reporting in to her boss, "so anyhow, they now think I am on their side."
When the lights went out, she felt a hand covering her mouth and saw Agent Raynor looking shocked before he was knocked out.
As she felt herself succumbing to the sedative, her last thought was she must have screwed up.
Sam was following Jason, wanting to make sure he knew that she was a better fit for him than that whiney annoying baby stealer Elizabeth Webber.
She was mentally planning for the day that Jake would call her mommy when she heard something, then nothing.
Jason was looking for Spinelli, he was supposed to be getting the idiot out of town. This was all his fault, he should have never brought the kid into his life. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he back tracked hoping that he hadn't been followed. Seeing nothing he shrugged it off and returned to looking for the kid.
Spinelli was lying in the back seat plotting how to free himself along with Lulu. Not that he was worried, he knew that Stone Cold would soon come to their rescue.
Matt was working the nightshift at the clinic, when he saw Rebecca entering. When it was time to close, the young woman helped him lock the doors and head out. Not seeing the black van driving slowly towards them, they were surprised when two sets of strong arms reached out and grabbed them.
Max was leaving the brunt out remains of the coffee shop when he heard a loud argument. walking to break it up, he never felt himself getting tapped on the head and placed in the rear of the van that already held his brother and visiting father.
Cody was working in the warehouse, angry that Jason had returned the business to Sonny. He did not want to work for a man whose mental state was in a worse place than his own. While wondering how hard it would be to quit, he never even heard as two men grabbed him and tossed him into a van.
Olivia was on the phone talking to her son Dante when she felt the breeze, walking to the door of Kate's house, she closed it trying to recall if she had tried to on her way in never seen the man in black as he slipped his hand over her mouth and nose.
Ric Lansing was gnashing his teeth as he read his father's will. There was no way he was losing out on what little remained of the Lansing family fortune, he decided. Calling an old forger he had made sure was let off on a technicality, he went to meet the man.
As he was heading down the dark alley, the men following chuckled. Then took pleasure in knocking out this particular annoyance.
Ethan was looking at the picture of Luke Spencer and Robert Scorpio wondering why whichever one was his father abandoned him. "Hey kid, do ya have a match?"
Turning he flicked his lighter, not realizing it was blinding him until after he found himself tied up in the back of a van. "Don't fight the cuffs, they are riot gear and tighten the more you move."
The next morning, Epiphany saw Jason Morgan standing on the dock looking exhausted while she was on her way to Kelly's for breakfast to celebrate its reopening. When he looked at her, she openly sneered at the mobster and said "So, what is your excuse this week?" and walked on.
Not sure what that was about, he went home to the penthouse only to find Carly and Diane waiting for him. "Whatever it is can wait until after I get a shower."
"JASE. Sonny is missing, he was supposed to meet me at the Metrocourt and never showed up. When I went to the house, no one was there. Not even that skank he married." she announced.
"That doesn't mean anything." said Diane. "They could have gone off together. Look, Carly, I need to talk to Jason. This is important."
"No finding Sonny is important, if she has hurt him, what then? How will you be able to afford all those expensive shoes then?"
"Well, since I am trying to earn my well deserved fees right now, I would like you to leave. Jason, we have to do this before you get arrested."
"Arrested for what?" asked Carly with her hands on her hips.
"The disappearance of Elizabeth Webber and her two sons. She was leaving her grams house last night when two men in van pulled up and grabbed her and the boys."
"Oh my god." said Carly. "What? How? Jason would never harm her. Now would he even think of harming Jake or Cameron."
"Who are you two talking about?" Jason asked with a puzzled expression on his face. Who is Elizabeth? Who are Jake and Cameron?"
Carly looked at Diane. Diane looked at Carly and both women turned white. "Jason, does the name Jake mean anything to you?"
"Yeah, it the bar down by the waterfront. Why are you asking me these questions?" he said. "I thought you were worried about Sonny?"
"Jason, this is important, does the name Emily ring any bells?" asked Carly.
Jason struggled with it, then said no.
"What about Lila?" she asked as she sank down on the desk.
Jason face lost the puzzled expression. "That was my daughter, the girl I lost with the love of my life Sam."
"Does it ring any other bells?" asked Carly while trying not to gag.
"No, why?" he asked as he went to go upstairs and shower while wondering where Spinelli was. The boy was like a son to him.
Diane turned to Carly and said "Houston, I think we have a problem."
The end of today's epi.
