General Hospital – Aug 1998 – Alan’s Drug Addiction Part 26 – Part 26. Alan pops a few pills and starts to “read” the newspaper but manages to avoid the headlines until AJ and Monica tell him to read it. Alan’s pretty much out of it and nobody really notices … much. Edward and Emily argue about Edward’s plan to fight for custody for Michael again. Monica notices Alan is a bit fuzzy but Alan brushes it off as being tired. Monica remarks that the family hasn’t been the same since Jason’s accident. AJ overhears this and becomes upset. AJ agrees with her but Monica tells him that she’s proud of how AJ pulled himself together. Edward argues with the rest of the family about the custody fight. Taggart pays a visit which causes Alan and Monica to freeze up. He tells AJ that he’s there to question Emily about the explosion but AJ tells him to get lost. When Taggart eventually leaves, AJ wants to know why his parents didn’t do a thing but sit there. They all start to argue. AJ and Emily go for lunch. Monica and Alan talk and hug. Monica tells him how much she loves him and how she’s there to support him as he gets better. Poor Alan… how much guilt he must be feeling now. When Monica leaves for the hospital, Alan pulls out some pills but then puts them away.
