Steve Burton
Reader Note: Due to blizzard bad weather im her area, Perkie was not able to write today's recap so I (Josh) am filling in with a brief recap to ensure GH fans have some place to discuss Friday's show.
On today’s General Hospital recap:
Sasha can’t understand how she’s speaking with intelligent women about how she needs to look more wholesome. Lucy says Sasha’s face is perfect and says the cover needs her to look less edgy. Maxie says they can get other covers, but Lucy says this one is the most important and they need Sasha front and center. Sasha thinks there’s more important things in life than being on magazine covers. Maxie wants to put off the conversation but Lucy thinks it needs to be decided this very moment.
Lucy refers to Deception as “her” company and Brook Lynn quickly sets her straight. Lucy says Tracy doesn’t care about the future of Deception and is also not present when they’re making important decisions. Brook Lynn says Tracy will be back soon and they can’t make a move without her vote. Maxie jumps in saying this is why she wanted to table these decisions.
Sasha tells Lucy how grateful she is for the opportunity to work for Deception. That being said, she thinks she’s done. With that, she resigns as the face of Deception. Maxie and Brook Lynn beg Sasha to reconsider. Lucy wants Sasha to take a vacation so they can hire a second face of Deception to give her a break. Brook Lynn and Maxie are reluctant to believe Lucy’s motivations. With that, Brook Lynn exits.
Sasha says Lucy didn’t run her off and is so grateful. Sasha says she’s not the same person she was when she signed on to be the face of Deception. All she knows is she’s done being in front of the camera. Lucy reminds her of the contract she signed and says if she leaves she will lose her leadership position and her shares in the company. In addition, she’ll have to sell back her shares at market price. Lucy wants her to reconsider her decision until the market recovers. Sasha says money can’t buy happiness and exits. Lucy tries to reason with Maxie but she’s not up for hearing her ideas or explanations. With that, she throws her out of the office.
Cody arrives at the stables and has a conversation with a horse about losing his cool at Deception. He goes on to say all the things he hated about working at Deception when Olivia arrives and gives him an update about Dante. She decides to stay and have a chat. Olivia thinks she should be at Dante’s bedside, but Cody says she needs to take a break if she wants to ensure her own health. Olivia decides to head out and they embrace.
