General Hospital - 1997 Alan discovers AJ is drinking again

February 26, 1997. Outside the courtroom after AJ leaves Monica alone for a bit, Alan tells AJ how proud he is of him for pulling his life together. They hug and Alan can feel AJ's vodka flask. Scary Alan hisses at AJ that Monica is never to know that he's drinking again. Poor AJ (Sean Kanan is sooo good as AJ -- could he look any sadder?)

Great scene...I LOVE Sean Kanaan as AJ...He played the perfect young, inexperienced AJ...He and Stuart Damon always have great chemistry

[@MMingE]

R.I.P. Stuart Damon

EXCELLENT directing! So much chemistry b/t those four actors. Great coverage on Sean Kanan. *This* is what GH s missing, and you can't get it in the 20-second micro scenes they give us now...

Drink up as much as you want to AJ because I'm drinking a Icehouse Beer right now.

Great Alan and AJ scene!! I wonder what Sean Kanan had in the flask in real life. :) Water? :)

And, judging by the thumbnail, Alan doesn't take it very well. 😂

I agree,miggy25!Billy Warlock had portrayed a more mature A.J.

[@gerist2169]

What in the hell is wrong with these people AJ is always taking shit when will this bullshit stop?

[@stevemyopinion423]

AJ was drunk driving and almost killed his brother Jason, and he still drinking

[@jacarly98jasam44]

AJ will never change and it will always be someone else fault or he has an excuse for everything. Hes going use what his mother is going through for his drinking and Jason's accident for all of it

[@hotchocolate8320]

jacarly98 jasam... Everyone in this show makes excuses for what they do.

[@SignOfTheTimes008]

​ Yeah Alan had his share of problems to from what I remember. At least AJ is trying, he's not some drunk bum, he's well dressed, spoken and he was there in moments like that.

I mean… It is everyone else’s fault
