The Ice Princess is back! On General Hospital!

Tweet

What was that that Lulu opened, thinking it was from Dante? A black rock looking thing on a stick? NO!!! It was the Ice Princess....for those that weren't watching back then... the Ice Princess is an un-cut diamond still in the making. When they mine diamonds, they dont' find them clear glistening stones...diamonds are black harden (over centuries)coal and then "cleaned up" to make a diamond as we know it. Now, back in the 80's...Nicos Cassidine (helenas husband) had the Ice Princess mounted for display and shipped it somewhere..but it ended up on the docks at Port Charles and the box fell open and a worker found the statue and stole it..took it home to his wife, not knowing what it was. She and Luke hooked up later and then the story of who has the rocks started and Robert Scorpio entered the picture. He and Luke were hunting for the diamond...and that is what took them and Laura and meeting up with Tiffany Hill, to stow away on the Cassidine yachet and go to the Cassidine island where the "Freeze Machine" was located. Nicos had already started to freeze the earth...starting of course with Port Charles where they showed all the mayham of the big freeze already starting. Anyway, the fearsome threesome won the battle and as Laura held the guests at AK47 point (thing was bigger than she was! It was SOOO phoney!) Robert was injured and Luke was captive by Nicos in the freeze machine room where he tricked Nicos and Anthony Cassidine (nephw) and Alexandria Quartermaine into the freeze room and he locked them inside...where they froze in motion! Then Luke sits at the controls and tries to stop the freezing and can't cause he needs the password. He is at a HUGE looking computer thing, and types everything he can think of to get the password, when Ice Princess pops into his mind and he types it in and BINGO! That was the password! The freeze machine stops and the snow stopps in PC and all starts warming up! But those three in the machine stay frozen! The now foursome trot back to PC and have a hero's welcome etc. I don't remember now what ever happened to the Ice Princess. It was after that that Luke and Laura got married which of course erased every other story line in General Hospital history! Then of course, Laura thought she was Christy Brinkly and went to be a model and disappeared for years. I am looking forward to watching how they bring this story back into town..they have Luke and Laura but no Robert unless this is how they revive him and then he tells Anna Robin is alive and the four of them trek off to find Robin! THat's be pretty boring! But At least they are bringing back the Cassidines. And..there have been rumors that they are cancelling GH...this being their 50th anniversary...wonder if they intend to just freeze Port Charles...end up with every character being froze in time as the series fades off into the froze abyss.......... I wonder if Steve Burton was on the inside track, knew it was ending so he got out while he could so as to get another job before the soap job market was full again....... hummm..... It just always seemed odd to me that he'd walk out on a 21 year career to go back east to a farm...just like that.....leaving his only job title saying it was to spend more time with his children...and then turned up on another soap 2 months later!
