Nicholas/Gia: Shadows of Doubt
The recently engaged Nikolas and Gia should be blissfully planning their
nuptials. Instead, each are tormented by ghosts from the past. Will
these obstacles haunt them forever? Can Nikolas and Gia move past their
demons to a happy ending?

Identity Crisis
Nikolas is upset and confused as he talks to his mother about his
conflicting feelings for Stavros as Gia listens to her fiance's
conversation with his mother. When she makes her presence known, Nikolas
covers. Later, Nikolas is angry when Gia admits that she was listening
in on his private talk with his mother.

Green Eyed Monster
To make matters worse, Gia and Elizabeth later walk in on Nikolas and
Lucky hugging Sarah, Elizabeth's older sister. Nikolas confesses to
Sarah that it is his fault that Lucky and Liz didn't get married. At the
same time Liz tells Gia that Nikolas and Sarah were once in love.
Nik and Gia go home and they make love. Gia is feeling hopeful about the
future, until she sees Nik with his arm innocently around Sarah in the
Port Charles Grill. Despite Elizabeth's reassurances, Gia can't help but
be jealous and she fights with Elizabeth.

The Liz/Lucky/Gia/Nikolas relationship will get more complicated this
week on GH when Liz's sister Sarah Webber returns to PC. Liz and Gia
come face to face with Sarah in the Port Charles Grill. "She comes back
into their life at a very interesting point", notes McT.
"Will Lucky and Liz manage to get together? What effect does Sarah have
on their relationship? As viewers may recall, Lucky had a thing for
Sarah, so it is no wonder Liz isn't thrilled when her sister says that
she is back for good."
Gia isn't pleased either. "Sarah used to be in love with Nikolas", says
McT. Although Gia has no idea that Sarah and Nik used to be an item.
"Gia is not thrilled when a new, beautiful woman comes around and wants
to be Nikolas' best friend".
McT believes viewers will be impressed with the new Sarah. "We have this
fabulous young actress (Sara Laine)---Sarah is going to start some
things moving".

SWEEPS:
Courtney shakes up Port Charles. "This ripple in the pond from, from the
Courtney reveal, has big emotional stakes for about 8 people says McT,
The opening of Jax and Carly's nightclub sets the stage for an explosive
revelation.
Sonny and Alexis' relationship comes to a crossroads. Sonny will find
out how Alexis feels. Whether he believes it, whether he can deal with
it, is the question teases McT. Sonny better be careful what he
requests,because he requested that Zander get close to Carly. How close
will he get?
Luke continues to pursue Laura, but, he may find himself in a pickle
that he did not expect.
Nikolas grapples with the Cassadine legacy. When a crisis threatens Gia,
how Nikolas reacts is going to be very telling about which direction he
is going

SOD
Sonny/Alexis
Too bad Alexis doesn't know that! This week on GH, Sonny learns from
Kristina that Alexis is interested in more than his legal briefs. The
revelation comes about when Kristina confronts Sonny about his treatment
of her big sister. In the ensuing discussion, Kristina inadvertently
reveals that Alexis has romantic feelings for the mobster.Sonny is
stunned....or is he?
"There are feelings under the surface,both from Sonny to Alexis and
Alexis to Sonny, that neither is fully acknowledging or fully acting
upon" says Head Writer Megan McTavish. "But they are there and they have
been simmering". In fact, Alexis has been planning to tell Sonny the
truth herself early in the week but an arguement with him threw her
off-track. "Alexis is not the queen of acknowledging her feelings or
acting on her feelings" continues the scribe. "She is a guarded person
as Sonny is, but that doesn't stop him from going to Alexis after his
conversation with Kristina. Surprisingly he doesn't let on to Alexis
that he knows the real deal--for now at least". "This is a journey
because Sonny and Alexis are both people who guard their hearts", notes
McT. "It may take awhile, but the pot is simmering".

February Sweeps!
From Soaps in Depth:
Sonny, Carly, Alexis:
''Sonny may think he's going on without Carly'', says Megan McTavish,
"but if he becomes aware that someone is interested in her, he may not
be as over her as he'd like to believe. Zander is becoming attracted to
someone who is forbidden. When Sonny finds out, what will happen? I'm
not saying that Sonny finds out about Zander right away, but he may not
be as over Carly as he thinks. And that might cause Alexis to take steps
of her own to make Sonny realize he can't live without her''.

Luke and Laura:
''It drives Laura crazy that she said yes to Luke's marriage proposal
and he walked away before he heard her answer. If and when she goes to
Luke's rescue from what may be real danger, will she lose her life...or
her heart?"

Jax and Skye:
"Skye is quite determined to win Jax's heart--it's a case of two very
capable sexy players on to one another and enjoying the game. How far
will the game go? And who wins? Maybe they both will. But don't expect
it to be easy."

Nikolas and Gia:
"Nikolas will be tested and when the stakes become high enough, which
side of himself will come out to deal with the situation--the Spencer
side or the Cassadine side? It becomes a question of protecting Gia or
doing the right thing."

AJ and Courtney:
AJ and Sonny's battles esculates. For once in his life, it looks like AJ
might come off the winner. Sonny comes to care a good deal about
Courtney. Will his inability to share his feelings lead her to something
dangerous?

Liz,Lucky,Sarah:
Sarah comes back and starts working at GH. The main thrust of her story
is --How does she fit in with Elizabeth, Lucky, Nikolas and Gia? How
will the 5th member of the quadrangle impact both the love stories and
the plot?
