A Fanatic's dream ...

Now that Alexis has agreed to join Diane's law firm; I really would love for these two to get a great story line separate from just the mob.

Heck, I would love for these two to get their own show; it can be a night time spin-off like Night Shift. These two women have so much on-air chemistry; they deserve their own sitcom!



As far as the Lucky/Liz/Nik story line, I would love for Liz to end up with Nikolas when all is said and done. I'm pretty much over the Lucky and Liz pairing. I'm over Lucky being the father to other men's babies; products of Liz's one-night stands. I'm over Liz feeling love for someone other than Lucky (Jason or Nik) but claiming Lucky is her life.

IMO, Lik or Niz, have extreme chemistry; which I haven't seen from Elizabeth or Nikolas in a very long time. They feed off each other and have the passion both characters have been missing for years. (Sorry to the Liason/Nem fans, I never thought either pairing had ANY chemistry what-so-ever).

I would love for Nikolas to be the father of Liz's baby; that would create so many s/ls for both characters for many years. I mean Helena is Nik's grandmother and foaming at the mouth for a proper heir!



JaSam: I honestly don't want them to get married, at least not yet. What I do want for the pairing is for Sam to regain her independence. I would love for Sam and Spinelli to be working on a case and for Jason to offer his help; not always Sam offering to help Jason.

I would love for Sam to find out she's pregnant and for Jason to NOT freak out about it. I think Jason can be a good father and will definitely do his best to protect his child with Sam.

I don't think it would be a slap in the face to Liason fans because it was Liz that asked Jason to give up his son because of the danger. Sam wouldn't ask Jason to give up his child because she understands the danger of his lifestyle and actually thrives in it.

For Sonny and Dante, I would like for the two of them to eventually become civil; meaning Dante to not necessarily forgive Sonny, but understand him a little bit better and not hate him.

I think when and if Dante finds out the truth about how Claudia really died will help mend the fence between the newly found father and son duo.

I'm not saying I want them to be as close as Michael and Sonny, but to the point where Dante doesn't hate Sonny.

I also want Sonny to let go of some of the guilt he's been feeling all these years about his lifestyle and now it affects his children. The man carries around so much guilt; for those who say he never pays for his actions, he punishes himself for his choices and lifestyle, what more do you want?

I'd like to see Dante and Lulu continue their relationship and possibly get Lulu back to a more adventurous story line; I likes when she went to rescue Luke on Markam Island.

And sorry SpiXie fans, I want them to finally break up and for Maxie to finally be paired with Johnny. I really want my JoMax! Those two, given the opportunity, could totally steam up daytime! Not too mention, I think it would be interesting to see how it affects Maxie's friendship with Lulu and Sam.

There's so much more I would do with GH if I had the opportunity; like bringing back Brenda to be with Sonny; allowing Skye and Jax to reunite; bringing back Lorenzo and having him save Carly from CarJax hell.

What would you do? Who would you bring back? What couples would you reunite if you had the opportunity?

The writing's on the wall, get ready Scrubbers ....

While I didn't exactly agree with Robin going to Dante and telling him her history with him and Stone, I really didn't like the way Patrick reacted to it.

Patrick has known Sonny for a while now and definitely knows the history Robin and Sonny share and now all of a sudden he has a problem with it?

And even if Patrick does have an issue with it; two things were poorly written in my opinion. Patrick literally embarrassed Robin by they way he badgered her out of Dante's room. I don't think Patrick would ever belittle his wife like that in front of other people. Patrick is cocky when it comes to being a surgeon, but he doesn't normally treat his wife like that.

The second issue I have is while I understand why Steve would intercede during the Scrubs fight, he is the Chief of Staff and they were fighting in the middle of the nurses station, but where does Lisa get off inserting herself into the fight?

Wait, I know why she became involved, so she could follow Patrick to Jake's (her own words not mine) and be the supporting ex-girlfriend while trying to drive a deeper wedge between Scrubs.

I can already see the writing on the wall, Robin was at Kelly's with Steve, Patrick was drinking beers with Lisa at Jake's; gee, how many people think Scrubs is going to find themselves leaning more on Steve and Lisa than each other. Patrick has been defending Lisa since she came to Port Charles and Robin and Steve have already formed a friendship beyond employer/employee.

What I don't get is Lisa has been blatantly obvious about her attraction to Patrick since she got to town and some how, some way neither Robin nor Patrick has picked up on it.

The only possible good outcome of Scrubs fighting or splitting up for a little while is maybe we'll actually get to see Jason Cook aka Matt. I mean he is Patrick's brother; he HAS to have an opinion about what's going on.

What do you think is going to happen? A divorce for Scrubs? Adultery by both of them? Nothing it's just a bump in the road and they'll get through it?

Things that make us go, hmmm ....

First things first, since when would a hospital allow a gunshot victim to have umpteen visitors while their still recovering? Dante's room must have had a revolving door attached to it because everyone and their brother went to his room for one reason or another. Yet, Steve told Robin that she could have caused Dante stress for having a conversation with him. Things that make us go, hmmm ....

Since when would a woman having a mental breakdown act all fragile around one man and snarky around the other? (Thanks Jenny for the reminder). Liz was literally falling apart when Lucky was in her room at Shadybrook and it worked because Lucky told her what she wanted to hear, he "forgave" her. Yet, when Nikolas showed up to see Liz she was downright snarky with him. Yeah, that's a woman who's fragile. Things that make us go, hmmm...

Can someone explain to me exactly how Jax can have one Federal Prosecutor thrown off Sonny's trial and replaced with another. Last time I checked Jax was a corporate raider, not a politician. And while we're on the subject, how exactly was Jax allowed in the court room for Sonny's arraignment? Things that make us go, hmmm ....

Speaking of Sonny's arraignment, I may love both Alexis and Diane, but there is no way a judge would allow all the outbursts caused by the two of them, or allow Sonny to speak out the way he did. Guess TPTB truly believe the viewers are idiots and would never care about the little details. Things that make us go, hmmm ....

Finally, what is up with the hair and wardrobe people on the show??? Tracy, though her jacket was absolutely fabulous, looks like she went to Lucky and Jason's barber instead of going to a salon to have her hair done. God awful! And speaking of hair, what was up with Maxie's horse do at the beginning of the week? It looked like they brushed it back sprayed it and left a mane like a horse's tail and Lulu, well she was channeling Marcia Brady! Normally all three of these women have gorgeous hair, but TPTB totally missed the mark this week with all of them! Things that make us go, hmmm ....

I forget exactly which day, I think it was the Friday before Valentine's Day, but it was an episode filled with a lot of love and angst and then all of sudden out of no where, there was Max and Milo engaged in a shootout with Johnny. No lead in, no aftermath in the epi, just the one scene. Things that make us go, hmmm ....

Speaking of Johnny, he was alone on the pier during the shootout and we're supposed to believe he hijacked the shipment all by himself, with no back up or help? Things that make us go, hmmm ...

And still on Johnny, when he was with Olivia, she was actually wearing a "Snuggie" when she answered the door to her apartment. I get that JoLivia had just finished doing the deed, but you would think that Livs would go change into at least something a little less revealing than a blanket with sleeves when Jason showed up at her place. Things that make us go, hmmm ....

There have been a lot of WTF moments lately on the show. What are some of the things that you've noticed? Think I'm being a bit too critical of the show?

I only added the pictures of the bad hair, because well it was that bad!

Loving and Supporting Sonny

Okay, quick disclaimer: I absolutely love Sonny Corinthos and Maurice Benard; the man just oozes all sorts of sexy.

One problem I have with Guza, believe me there are many but I digress, is that we the viewers have no idea what on earth it is that Sonny and Jason actually move with their shipments. It can't be drugs because Sonny has always stopped other "families" from moving drugs through his territory. So what it is that SaSon actually does? Jewels? Guns? Other weapons? Counterfeit money? Counterfeit bonds? If anyone has a clue please let me know, lol.

Anyway, on to the topic at hand; Loving and Supporting Sonny.

While Sonny is a mob boss to one of the more powerful families in New York, let alone Port Charles; there is something very sensitive about the man.

Yes, I know he shot Dante point blank but isn't that what any mob boss would do? If Tony Soprano or Michael Corleone found out an under cover cop had infiltrated their organization they would place a hit on them as well. And I truly believe that had Olivia told Sonny and Dante they were father and son, it would have changed Sonny's mind. He would never have shot Dante point blank regardless of what he knows about the organization.

Sonny has only hurt his true enemies and has never deliberately hurt anyone person in his family. The perfect example would be Sonny's half-brother, Ric Lansing. Ric kidnapped Carly when she was still married to Sonny and pregnant with his child, but Sonny would not let Jason kill him no matter how many times the enforcer begged his boss to let him take Ric out. Sonny's explanation was, "He's blood, he's my brother." Sonny may not have liked Ric, he pretty much hated him, but he still wouldn't allow him to be killed by any member of his organization.

Another point is Michael, Sonny's adoptive son. Michael has made it clear that he wants to follow in Sonny's footsteps; but Sonny won't allow it and keeps claiming he wants Michael to have the life he never had.

Even when Sonny married Claudia for the power of the Zacchara organization, he didn't like Claudia all that much but he defended her when Papa Z attacked her verbally and saved her when Papa Z had her strapped to the bomb.

Sonny may not be perfect, but he's a mob boss he isn't supposed to be perfect. He's supposed to be ruthless. In the real world whenever a mob boss is betrayed a hit is placed on that person, regardless if they are family or not. Sonny considers Jason to be his brother and has allowed his hit man enforcer to betray him in the past.

When Sonny was dating Emily, which was all sorts of wrong on so many levels in my opinion, Jason stole the organization right out from under Sonny's nose, yes Sonny placed a hit on Jason, but he called it off at the last second. In the real mob world, Jason would be six-feet under by now for all the times he's betrayed Sonny.

Even Brenda, who I believe is the love of Sonny's life as well as soul mate, would be dead if Sonny wasn't sensitive and the mob boss with a heart of gold. Brenda wore a wire and not only did Sonny not kill her or place a hit on her, he eventually forgave her and the two were even more in love. Same with Carly; she with the help of Roy DiLucca set Sonny up to be arrested by the FBI. Again, not only did Sonny not have her killed, he forgave her and remarried her.

I'm not saying that Sonny is perfect by any means, but he is a mob boss; he's supposed to be bad. Sonny is complicated. He loves and when he loves, he loves deeply and completely. Sonny would do anything to protect any of his children, look at what he's doing for Michael; although I still think everyone would have been better off if they told the truth about Michael killing Claudia from the beginning.

What are your thoughts? Are you a Sonny fan? Do you believe he is complicated and sensitive? Would you rather he go to jail and have the mob story lines go with him?

What are we to believe?

I honestly don't get what TPTB are doing with the Lucky/Liz/Nik story arc at the moment. When the story first started I was already to buy into the "woman in love with two men" angle, but unfortunately the writers did a complete u-turn and changed everything.

When everything first started happening, around the time of the Carnival, Liz was actually trying to fight her feelings for Nikolas while trying to decide whether or not she should accept Lucky's marriage proposal.

So what does Liz do? She goes to Nik, sleeps with him and then accepts Lucky's proposal to Nik's complete utter shock. Then the two of them, Lik or Niz if you prefer, try and go about their lives; her with Lucky, him with Rebecca; but the chemistry and passion keeps drawing them together and they not only begin a steamy affair, but they actually profess their love for one another.

That was the great part of the story; even though Liz said she didn't want her life to blow up because of their lies and betrayal she was truly falling in love with the Cassadine Prince.

Then Lucky finds out and blasts both of them - that was THE best part. Liz actually got called out for cheating, lying, sleeping with her fiance's brother, etc ...

Oh, but wait, Liz can't be the one that's at fault; Lucky can't be the victim - insert breakdown for Liz and shine the halo. Nik is asking his brother where his compassion is and claiming Liz has suffered enough. Compassion? Lucky is supposed to have compassion for the woman that accepted his marriage proposal even though she was sleeping with his brother? Liz has suffered enough? How exactly has she suffered? It was literally what two days and Liz suffers from hypothermia? Yeah, that's suffering. No one called her out with the exception of Lucky and Lulu; even Sam took the high road and didn't judge Liz for what she did to Lucky; not that Sam's moral compass has always pointed north.

So, Liz finds herself in Shadybrook because what she feels guilty? Are you freaking kidding me? Since when does cheating, lying and everything else equal a breakdown? It's simply because the writers want the viewers to sympathize with Liz.

What bothers me is not just that it seems as though Liz is going to get off scott free as usual; but she told Lucky he has no obligation to her or her unborn child whether he is the father or not! Again, are you freaking kidding me???? Lucky is the ONLY father Cameron and Jake have ever known and NOW Liz tells Lucky he has no obligation to her or her baby?

Not only that, but umm, she was professing her love to Nikolas until Lucky found out, and now she wants nothing to do with him? That means one of two things, she either never loved him and it was purely sexual for her or she's so blinded by her own guilt that she's punishing the man she thought she loved because she lost the man that's always been her savior.

They even have Lucky lying to Liz that he forgives her to help Liz get through her breakdown and Nikolas is professing his love while Liz is acting like he makes her skin crawl; hmmm, isn't that the man she was professing her love to while she was shagging him on a couch in Wyndemere?

Is the big plan to have Lucky actually finally be the father of one of Liz's kids and bring LnL2 back together in the end, or will Nik win the first woman he's loved since he lost Emily?

It seems as though Liz really only wants Lucky now that she's lost him. Is it too late? Will Nik win the heart of the first woman he's loved since he lost Emily? Will LnL2 reunite for the umpteenth time? At this point, I just hope TPTB pick a direction and stick with it.

GH celebrates 12,000th with new credits

There wasn't much more of a celebration in the episode, but the new credits were awesome in my book.

Though I think the opening would be nicer with the "Faces of the Heart music; the visual display itself was a lot nicer than the old version.

I like how they added the actors' real names along with the characters they play. Maybe now fans on message boards will spell the characters names correctly, LOL. I'm just saying it's kind of depressing to see Nikolas spelled incorrectly.

I was a bit surprised that the only other "celebration" was when Alexis told Diane for the "12,000th time" she would not be joining Diane's Law Firm.

I was surprised TPTB didn't add some sort of montage at least at the ending of the episode or having some of the Quartermaines discussing loved ones that have come and gone, anything would have been better than just the passing comment from Alexis.




So what do you think, were the new credits worth the wait? What do you like about them? What would you change?

Skye returns, Maya arrives

It seems as though General Hospital fans are getting their wish - MORE QUARTERMAINES!!!

Fan favorite Robin Christopher reprises the role of Skye on March 31, the same day Annie Ilonzeh debuts as Maya Ward, the niece of Justus Ward.

Last we saw Skye was in 2008 when she left Port Charles with her daughter Lila Rae following the "death" of baby Lila's father, Lorenzo Alcazar.

Question is, who will Skye interact with when she makes her way back to Port Charles?

Will there be a reunion between former spouses Jax and Skye now that his marraige to Carly is falling apart?


Will "Blaze" come between Luke and Tracy? How long before Tracy tries to kick Skye out of Monica's mansion?

With Skye returning one has to wonder what's instore for Maya when she shows up at the Quartermaine Mansion following Edward's invitation.

One question concerning Maya is will she be a love interest for a character already on the map or will she strictly interact with the Qs?

Rumors surrounding the character have her as a love interest for Michael, Ethan or Johnny. I'm not sure pairing a member of the Quartermaine clan with a member of the mob is the right way to go.
And again, Tracy is not too happy that another "outsider" is going to be living in the house with the family.

Tracy is sure to be front and center for both and that makes this GHfanatic's heart pitter-patter! The more Tracy the better!

There seems to be more questions than answers surrounding the two additions to the cast, but regardless of the answers it certainly means more Quartermaines which is always a plus!

What do you think of Skye returning? Maya's arrival? Who would you liek to see the ladies interact with?

Love in the afternoon, it does exist

Love them, hate them or could care less about them JaSam and Lante are definitely proof that love in the afternoon does exist.

There is something real about these two couples. As a former JaSam fan that never wanted to see them back together after the god awful destruction of the couple. You know her sleeping with Ric, him sleeping with Liz; Jake being Jason's and Sam watching him get kidnapped in the park, him threatening to kill her if she ever did anything to Liz or the boys again - yeah all that.

But, lately I've been growing to absolutely love them again and I think part of it is because Sam brings something out in Jason. Like he said they don't try to change each other, but they also don't need to. There is a certain sparkle in Jason's eyes that didn't exist when he was with Liz or Courtney. The sparkle has been non-existent since he was with Robin all those years ago. Sam gives Jason personality and not so much brooding.

Lante on the other hand is still brand new and exciting. The way they were in the hospital on Valentine's Day was sweet, fun and light. They play well off of each other and already deeply care for one another.

I loved when they were making out hot and heavy and his heart monitor started to go off; it was hilarious.

I like how Lulu is not only concerned with Sonny being Dante's father but also how her own father is not exactly a law-abiding citizen and Dante working for the PCPD could affect that.

The two couples are keeping it as real as possible and honestly, it's refreshing. I know there are going to be obstacles for both couples, because let's face it; a happy couple normally means the kiss of death in the world of soaps.

Oh and I might add, Scrubs is another example that love in the afternoon exists; it was great to see the two of them getting it on in the supply closet like the old days. They showed that even though they're married with a child, it doesn't mean they still don't love each other and well need each other.

Thank you to the writers for giving us even a little bit of romance in this violent filled soap.

History; can be powerful ....

....if it's shown at the right time for the purpose of telling a story and rewriting history doesn't come into play along with it.

While I've enjoyed the flashbacks of Lucky and Elizabeth, I don't particularly enjoy seeing the aftermath of Liz's rape on a daily basis.

It's as if the writers want us to feel bad for her because she was raped when she was 15. No offense, but her being raped all those years ago have nothing to do with why she cheated on Lucky. It's almost diminishing the history between the two.

I do however enjoy seeing the other scenes the two of them shared in the past, one scene the writers may have thought to show would have been when Lucky and Liz exchanged their vows at the church on Valentine's Day before Lucky "died" in the fire. Instead we get endless mention of the rape.

I did enjoy the flashback of Lucky climbing out Liz's window and when Lucky asked Liz to be his girl, those two scenes showed the innocence and young love LL2 shared way back when.

If the writers are trying to recapture the love the young couple once shared they may not want to keep showing the rape scenes. Being raped does not excuse adultery and that's the road it seems the writers are trying to take.

If anything, being raped would not make Elizabeth willing to sleep with different men, it would make her jaded and un-trusting towards the men in her life.

After Lucky returned from "the dead" Liz tried a relationship with Jason, but it never really got started and then she ended up with Ric and then ironically had Zander's child; then she and Lucky find their way back to each other, yet she ends up having Jason's child. Again she and Lucky find their way back to each other and yet again she finds herself in the bed and arms of another man, Nikolas.

Do these sound like the actions of a woman that is still haunted by the rape she suffered through at the age of 15? They don't to me, never have and never will.

I don't understand how Elizabeth saying that she ruined her past with Lucky constitutes showing the flashbacks of the rape, the rest of their history; yes! But definitely not the rape.

The rape storyline was one of the more powerful story lines of this couple's history, but the writers are the one diminishing it by showing it now that Elizabeth has been caught cheating and lying.

Do you think the writers are over doing it? Is the rape more important to this story than what is actually happening? Do you think the writers are using the flashbacks to show Liz in a more favorable light?

Brotherly Love

Isn't it funny that when Ethan first found out he was Luke's son; he and Lucky did not get along; more because of Lucky, not Ethan, at least Ethan tried to get to know Lucky.

Now, the two formerly estranged brothers seem to be bonding on a daily basis; which is nice considering right now it seems as though neither of them have anyone else they can rely on.

Lucky's confidant used to be Nikolas, but obviously, considering the whole sleeping with his fiance thing, not anymore. Lulu is dealing with Dante being shot and finding out that Sonny is his father so who can Lucky turn to in his time of need - enter the brother he just found out he had.

I was a bit perturbed when Nikolas was telling Ethan about Lucky and Elizabeth's history and the night Elizabeth was raped; that was not his place. It was nice to see Lucky opening up to Ethan and seeing the two of them bond, even if it was over a few beers at Jake's.

I hope that when all is said and done; meaning when and if Lucky ever forgives Elizabeth and Nikolas that he doesn't forget about Ethan. They actually seem more alike than Lucky and Nik ever were.

Ethan is light and funny when he needs to be and sensitive and sincere when that's called for. I didn't really care for Ethan when he first showed up in Port Charles because they rewrote Luke and Laura's history to explain his existence, but ever since he and Lucky beat up Dante (when he was hitting on Lulu) he's been a breath of fresh air.

I am a bit nervous about Kristina's infatuation with Ethan though, remember when Maxie had her infatuation with Lucky. I would hope that the writers could come up with something a little new and fresh than rehashing all the same story lines.

What Kristina is going through with Keifer right now is a great story but unfortunately the writers are so consumed with Sonny and the rest of the mob right now; they're not spending enough time developing Kristina's main story.

Not that I condone any type of violence towards women, the writers opened a very powerful story and I truly hope they don't just move on without dealing with all the issues.

There are so many characters that should be involved in this storyline yet we haven't really seen them yet, here's to hoping the writers don't continue to focus strictly on mob story lines and actually do this story justice.

If you don't want to hear the answer, don't ask the question

Liz is looking for someone, anyone to tell her everything is going to be okay, but unfortunately things aren't going to be alright for Elizabeth, at least not anytime soon.

Not only is she looking for Lucky to forgive her, but she's looking for anyone to help her achieve her goal.

After having a dream about being in the 1800s Elizabeth went to the Haunted Star looking for help from Luke. She actually said Luke was the only one who didn't want to "stone her" for sleeping with Nikolas. Luke humored Liz by listening to her whining and eventually told her he could help her and as if on cue, in comes Lucky.

Elizabeth then becomes extremely pathetic, as if she already wasn't being pathetic through this whole mess, begging Lucky to forgive her. The problem with Liz begging and crying every single time she hunts down or runs into Lucky is that she is not allowing him the time to heal that he needs.

Of course she can't get through to Lucky and even though Luke asks her to leave, Elizabeth shows back up at the Haunted Star the very next day looking for Luke again.

This is a part that I hate the writers are doing, Elizabeth willing had an affair with Nikolas, Elizabeth knowingly was cheating on Lucky with his brother, but for some reason, they (the writers) decide to have flashbacks of the night she was raped. I get it's Valentine's Day and all, but seriously what happened to Elizabeth that night was not in her control, she was violated in every sense of the word, but this, what she's going through now is all on her!


When she ran into Sam at Kelly's I had to laugh at the beginning, Sam had a look of "I have no idea how to handle this" and Elizabeth quickly pointed it out.

It was definitely awkward for both women, but Liz made it worse by pointing out the sins Sam had committed in the past. No offense Liz, but what Sam did in the past and whether or not people forgave her has absolutely nothing to do with what Elizabeth has done and whether or not people forgive her.

Liz, acting like she was strung out, begged for Sam to tell her how she got Jason to forgive her. When Sam finally answered, by first saying she didn't know if it pertained to what Elizabeth was going through, it wasn't the answer Liz was looking for so she gave Sam her infamous smirk and said "Good for you."

I was actually proud of Sam, because if I were her I would have slapped the smirk right off of Liz's face, but then again, Sam has actually grown up over at least the past year.

Why ask the question Liz if you really don't want to hear the answer? If that wasn't enough she went to the hospital lobbying for Patrick and Robin to help her get her suspension lifted. Ironically, Patrick and Robin were the most supportive to Liz than anyone has been since the fiasco started, but again it was attitude and smirking from the lying cheater.

I don't know how the writers are excepting the viewers to sympathize with Liz; I can't. It's not going to happen. I say this is karma for all the times she's looked down on others and thinking she was better than them.

Are any of you starting to sympathize with her yet? Have you been sympathizing with her all along? Do you think she's finally getting what she deserves?

Pleasantly surprised

I was down right shocked that Carly didn't immediately tell Sam to leave when she arrived at Jason's penthouse after her fallout with Jax. Sam has never been Carly's favorite, not after she slept with Sonny and discovered Sam was carrying his child; not too mention other than Courtney, Carly has NEVER liked any woman in Jason's life.


It was actually refreshing to see Carly acting mature towards Sam and how calm she was when she told Jason what happened between her and Jax.

I was even more surprised when Carly came back downstairs to find Josslyn in Sam's arms and was smiling the entire time.

Maybe Carly has finally accepted that Jason does love Sam and in reality, Sam is a good fit for Jason. I think Carly also knows that Sam would never ask Jason to give up his child.


It was also nice to see Carly asking Sam if she could stay with Josslyn and Morgan while she went to the hospital to talk to Sonny.

I know there are Sam haters out there that were screaming at their TV's because Sam was going to be left alone with the kids after she sat by and watched Jake being kidnapped. Maybe Carly realizes that Jason has forgiven Sam for her bad judgement. Maybe Carly understands that while it was a vile act by Sam, she was a woman scorned by the man she loved. I don't know, but regardless, it was nice to see Carly not freak out on Sam for what, the very first time?

Sam was obviously thrilled and a bit scared to be left alone with Josslyn, but it was great to see everyone smiling after all that has gone down.

Carly and Jason showed how much they truly care about their friendship today when the spoke about Jax, Michael, Sonny and Dante and for once, Carly didn't demand Jason drop everything, including Sam for her. I also didn't see any jealousy from Sam as Carly came in and said she and the kids were moving in. Maybe, just maybe, Carly and Sam will bond while Carly and the kids are living there. Or maybe as true to form one of the ladies will get jealous about the other being there. I for one would love a Carly/Sam friendship.

So which were you? Were you pleasantly surprised and happy by Carly's actions today or were screaming that Sam should never be around children?

Sonny tries, but gets shot down

I was a bit disappointed that TPTB decided not to re air Friday's final scene between Sonny and Dante, but today's scenes were just as good, just not as chilling.


Sonny was hoping everything was going to be forgiven and forgotten because the truth was out about Dante being his son. Guess again Sonny, Dante ain't having any part of it.


"There is nothing we're going to build," Dante said. "The fact that you're my father means nothing to me."


Dante made a point of calling his new-found father a "low-life gangster" on more than one occasion. Sonny tried to convince Dante they have a connection, but Dante said it makes him sick and he doesn't want anything from his dear old papa. Great line of the conversation was spoken by Dante, "I still have a badge and you're still a criminal."

Sonny was right though, there were times when Dante was being real with Sonny while he was playing the role of Dominic; but of course, Dante had a counter-point, Sonny still pulled the trigger. Does it really matter that Sonny did what he could to save Dante after he knew the truth? Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

Meanwhile, Lulu's in the hallway having it out with Olivia for covering for Sonny and wondering if it was a random mobster or a gang member would Olivia still be covering for them.

Then as if on cue, Lulu barges into Dante's room and stands up for her man. Telling Sonny she doesn't care about him being a family friend. Lulu defended her man by blasting Sonny. At least Lulu apologized to Dante for her outburst and that she can't imagine what he's going through. Seriously, how could anyone know what Dante's going through except for Dante. I mean he's the one that was shot by the man he has hated since he was child only to find out after surgery that that same man is his father.



As Lante cuddled in his hospital bed, Sonny had a slight confrontation with Olivia in the chapel.

I still can't wrap my head around Sonny telling Olivia he never would have shot Dante had he known he was his son and that Dante never would have gone after him had he known Sonny was his father.

It's hard, I feel bad for Sonny because he's reeling from the guilt of shooting his own son, but moments before he found out the truth he was showing absolutely no remorse. So where does the line get drawn?

When Sonny said, "Bless me Father for I have sinned" that was like duh moment, he has sinned for nearly his entire life, there's no shocking moment there. But hearing Sonny pour his heart out to God for what had happened, that's when I start to sympathize with Sonny. Why is it I can sympathize with a mobster that shot his own son, but not a single mother that cheated on her fiance with his brother? Guess I'm a hypocrite, just like about every single character in Port Charles.

Anger and alcohol, don't try this at home kids

What do you get when an angry, drunk cop and an angry, drunk mobster meet at Jake's? A confrontation with a gun, that's what.

Lucky, still at Jake's after his conversation with Nik, sees Liz and approaches her. At first I thought he was going to welcome her back with open arms because of how calm he was, until he asked what made her think it was a good idea and that she was humiliating herself.

I loved when Lucky made the comment that he was just "the babysitter" that was hilarious, because it's true; while Liz was pining for Nikolas or in his bed, Lucky or Audry were with Cameron and Jake. Lucky pretty much set up the "Who's the Daddy" s/l when he asked Liz if her and Nik had used protection.

As Liz went on and on about how it was a mistake and it's never going to happen again or that she talked with Luke and basically "yada yada yada, blah blah blah"; Lucky broke into another phenomenal speech about her lies and betrayal, the one line that bothered me was when Lucky held up his bottle of beer and said, "I have this, it takes the edge off just enough so I can sleep at night." I couldn't believe the gall Liz had to say that she couldn't picture her life without Lucky in it; umm, you think you should have thought about that before you started banging Lucky's brother?!?!?

After Liz finally leaves, Lucky continues to drink and throws his "cop" weight around on Coleman by asking him a bunch of questions about Niz. What made me laugh at that scene is that Coleman actually gave Lucky the information he wanted; as if Coleman would really be afraid of the PCPD with Sonny and Jason as his protection.


Meanwhile, Johnny had gone to see Olivia at the hospital and was actually happy to see her, he even brought her something to eat; which brought up a total random comment from Olivia.
"I should be watching my weight."

Anyway, so Johnny finds out that both Dante and Olivia covered for Sonny and basically figures he's a dead man.

"Are you friggin' kidding me," asked the junior mobster. Johnny knows that if the truth about Dante is out so is the truth that he knew about Dante all along. He asks Olivia if she ever gave a thought about what would happen to him when Jason and Sonny figured out he's a traitor.

So off Johnny goes, to Jakes, where guess who he runs into, yup, Lucky.

Both are drinking and both are angry. Gotta love Johnny's not-so-subtle sarcasm towards the PCPD. The line of the day, "To the PCPD, huh. Raise a glass and kiss my ass."

Unfortunately, Lucky didn't find Johnny humorous at all and the last straw was when Johnny took Lucky's beer for himself and said it was skunky. Yup, a couple more comments about the PCPD coupled with his beer being drunk by another was all it took for Lucky to hold a gun to Johnny's head. Can we say, abuse of power?

Wonder how Lucky's gonna feel about that when he finally sobers up, or will he even care?

Stay tuned folks, because angry, drunk Lucky doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon.

What's coming up in Port Chuck

Dante may have covered for Sonny regarding the shooting but don't look forward to the two having a father-son bonding moment; Dante has other plans for Sonny and tries to make Ronnie understand why he can't be the reason Sonny goes to jail; kind of like he tried to explain to Lulu. Speaking of Lulu, don't expect her to help Sonny mend fences with his first born.

Sonny is determined to make amends with his son and even tells Jason to leave Dante alone, which Jason doesn't agree with. Jason feels Dante was too close to the organization and could spell trouble for his tortured boss.

Sonny tries to explain his choices to Dante, but it seems as if the cop doesn't want to hear it. Olivia finds herself clashing with Dante, Sonny, Johnny and Ronnie. None are happy with the lies she told and Johnny and Ronnie don't understand why she's protecting Sonny for Dante's shooting.

Later in the week Mac offers Dante a job with the PCPD; will Dante make the move from NYPD? Michael doesn't want Sonny to take the fall for killing Claudia, so after confessing his sins to Kristina, Morgan and Molly; Michael finds himself telling Mac the truth of what happened that fateful night at the cabin, but Mac doesn't believe him.

What's next for the mobster in training if the police commissioner doesn't believe him, will he give up on letting the truth come out? How will Sonny, Jason and Carly react to the news that Michael confessed?

Meanwhile on the other side of Mobsterland; Johnny is determined to for revenge against Sonny for the death of Claudia. He even goes as far as visiting his psychotic father in prison to help him gain control of his family organization. Papa Z is gonna be so proud!

Lucky will continue to alienate Elizabeth, not forgiving her for her lies and betrayal. He will continue his downward spiral and nearly put a bullet in Johny's head.

Liz will have another public "meltdown" this time at Kelly's, Liason fans will see a small moment when Jason tries to comfort Liz.

Flooded with memories of the past, Liz makes her way to the church where she and Lucky exchanged their vows. Lucky finds Liz there lifeless from hypothermia. At the hospital, Dr. Lee tells Liz, Lucky and Nikolas that Liz is pregnant, the opening of the rehashed "Who's the Daddy" s/l.

Jax sees Carly in an embrace with her ex and assumes the two are reconciling. Even though Jax had told Carly he is going to fight for their marriage look for Jax to tell Carly he's through with his undying devotion to Sonny and Jason. Does this spell the end for CarJax? Will Jax go after sole custody of Josselyn?

Pot meet kettle, rather, Liz

If the writers are trying to get me to sympathize with Elizabeth during her so-called emotional breakdown; they may want to start with her NOT calling out a random mother at the hospital because her son had an accident. They also may want to scratch the whole "Who's the Daddy" storyline.

In her first episode she begs everyone to stop whispering behind her back, when in reality NO ONE was talking about her - gee, in your head much? And the second time she attacked an innocent mother for her son having an accident with a stove. I mean com'on seriously, how many of us have burnt something or ourselves on the stove - as adults never mind kids. Not too mention how many times did Liz drop her kids off at Audrey's so she could go get it on with Jason or Nikolas? Yeah, that's mother-of-the-year material right there. How about when she woke Cam and Jake up in the middle of the night so she could run off to stop Nikolas from leaving Port Charles?

Those aren't "breakdowns" IMO; they are a woman who's feeling guilty for her actions and lashing out at others so they will sympathize with her or some how it will take away from her own sins. I'm not buying it.

In the previews for next week, Liz is supposed to have yet another so-called public breakdown, this time at Kelly's where Jason will be the one to comfort her. I'm really sick of Nikolas and now apparently Jason, protecting her. She screwed up and in a big way. She deserves what she gets.

As far as the WTD s/l, why? Seriously, WHY must the writers subject us to yet another recycled story just because the actress is pregnant in real life? While I'm thrilled for Rebecca Herbst and her family, I really don't need to see it on screen - AGAIN.

This is a repeat of a couple of years ago; just change out Jason for Nikolas and here we go. Not too mention as @mobprincess2714 said on Twitter; Nikolas is falling into the same storylines as well - stealing another man's woman. First it was Emily, whom he took from Zander; then it was Courtney, who was married to Jax and now Elizabeth who was engaged to his brother.

Same old Liz and Nik and thanks to the writers; it's lather, rinse, repeat - just change a couple of characters. At least this time they didn't destroy two or more couples to have Liz end up pregnant. In reality, Liz really wasn't that invested in her relationship with Lucky this time around so did they really destroy a couple? It's not like when they destroyed Zander and Emily or Jax and Courtney, Sam and Jason, Lucky and Liz and Ric and Alexis; now those were completely, utterly demolished.

Okay, enough of my ranting. What are your thoughts? Do you sympathize with Liz? If the writers are determined to do the "Who's the Daddy" storyline, who would you rather the father be Lucky or Nik? Can Liz be redeemed?

Dante, Olivia cover for Sonny

Ever since Dante came to Port Charles it was with the intention of bringing Sonny Corinthos to justice for all of his illegal activities.

Ironically when Dante had the perfect opportunity to have Sonny put away for shooting a "cop" he told Lucky in his "official" statement that he "accidentally shot himself." The best part of the 'story' was when Lucky told Dante "Good luck getting anyone to believe you."

I did however like the reason Dante gave to Lulu for why he lied. Unfortunately, GH is now the Mob hour so regardless of anything that is said or not said, Sonny would never actually pay for his actions in a court of law. The best part is Sonny will be tortured about shooting his own son; which in a way is poetic justice.

One thing is for sure, Maurice Bernard definitely plays tortured well and does some of his finest work when he's reeling from guilt. I can not wait to see how the rest of this story unfolds for Sonny and Dante. Olivia on the other hand ....

When she told Mac and Ronnie that she had no idea how Dante was shot, it wasn't exactly a lie; she did arrive after Dante was already shot; but com'on she walks in and Sonny is standing over Dante with a gun in his hand ready to shoot again!

I don't blame Lulu for giving her an attitude about Sonny being able to skate away free for shooting her son.

Did Olivia really protect Sonny over her own son, or are we missing something that we haven't seen yet? I loved Ronnie in their sequence at the PCPD; he did phenomenal work this entire week. I really hope he doesn't just fade into the background once this story plays out.

As far as Sonny and Dante technically meeting for the first time as father and son, talk about a powerful scene!

"Hey Dad, turns out you're one hell of a shot."

I can not wait to see how this plays out next week and the weeks to come!

Lovin' Lante in the afternoon

At first I really didn't think I was going to be able to get behind a Lante pairing, actually I thought I wasn't gonna be able to get behind any Lulu pairing, but I am seriously falling in love with the two!

When Dante first woke up and called her "beautiful" I swooned! I really like how real the two have become.

Usually when a guy says he's pushing you away for your own good or that you're too good for him, it's basically a line; but with Dante, I believe he was telling the truth. He seriously was worried about Lulu. Not just because he's a cop trying to bust Sonny but because she's known for months and lied to everyone except for Lucky.

There is something real and genuine for these two and I think even though their relationship has taken off so fast, it's real, not fake.

I know there's some JoLu fans still lurking about, but I never got the attraction. I'd rather have some Lante everyday than JoLu. Thoughts?

Will Kate get the last laugh?

Remember back to Sonny and Kate's wedding and Olivia blasted Kate aka Connie for hiding her true identity? Olivia blasted her cousin for allowing the world to believe she was Kate Howard when she in fact is Connie Falconeri from Bensonherst.

The scene was humorous to say the least and was a preview of what I hope is coming in the near future.

The whole time Kate was in the hospital after being shot by Anthony, she encouraged Olivia to tell Sonny the truth about her son, Dante. Olivia refused stating Dante was better off not knowing that Sonny was his father.

Of course in true soap opera fashion Dante arrived in Port Charles, even though Olivia had pleaded with him not to, under the guise of being Dominic Porelli, mobster in waiting. In reality we all knew Dante/Dominic was an undercover cop infiltrating Sonny's organization in the hopes of taking Sonny down.

It wasn't until Maxie and Spinelli's non-wedding did Kate discover Dante was in Port Charles and why he was there.

Drunkenly, Kate warned both Olivia and Dante that this couldn't possibly end well and that Sonny needed to know the truth.

On Twitter, I asked Megan if Kate wanted to say "Told you so" to her beloved cousin. Her response:

TheMeganWard @GHfanatic91 i do believe kate saw the future and it was TODAY! wonder if she'll ever get credit..?

I also asked her if we were ever going to see Kate again in Port Charles:

TheMeganWard @GHfanatic91 yes, you will. i'll be sure to announce...

I for one am looking forward to seeing Kate back on the arc as this story unfolds. I just hope that Sonny doesn't blame her instead of Olivia for not telling him the truth.

But Kate letting Olivia have it for her lies would be poetic justice after what Olivia put her through the day of her wedding to Sonny.

I would welcome Kate back for this story and then some, we are definite need of the fashionista on screen.

Anyone else looking forward to seeing Kate back on screen with her cousins and former fiance? Not too mention it would be nice to see Kate in the Crimson office with Lulu and Maxie instead of just being heard about. Oh and before I forget, I would love me some KatMan!!!

Anger, denial and fear

Who's right when it comes to Sonny's actions? Lulu? Michael? Morgan? Kristina? None of them?

Although Lulu Spencer has admitted to Dante Falconeri that she is in love with him, did that give her the right to lash out at Sonny and make idle threats about going to the cops with "everything she knows" about Sonny and Jason.

Just a few weeks ago Lulu was telling Dante he was wrong for going after Sonny and that deep down Sonny is a good guy. Funny, her tune did a complete three-sixty when she realized her boyfriend had been shot by her father's long-time friend. Her anger may be justified, but being a hypocrite certainly isn't.

Last week she was calling out Elizabeth and Nikolas for their lies and betrayal while all along she had been lying to protect Dante, even though she claimed she didn't believe Sonny belonged in prison. Thankfully, Dante is going to pull through the surgery and Lulu won't have to worry about deciding whether or not she should tell the cops all she knows. If not, poor Lulu might just end up in an insane asylum again.

Prior to arriving at General Hospital, Lulu had stopped by Carly and Jax's house questioning Jason on what happened to Dominic. Lulu spilled the beans about Dominic being an undercover cop, which caught Carly, Morgan, Molly and Kristina off guard.

While Michael defended Sonny for his actions, I know shocking right; Kristina claimed that is the reason "I hate our father." Kristina said her father deserved to go to prison for life as Michael tried to change her mind.

Morgan on the other hand agreed with Kristina and felt bad for his friend, Dominic. Morgan then questioned whether or not his friendship with Dominic had been a lie and simply part of Dominic's cover.
For once, Jax actually made sense as he told Morgan that Dominic couldn't fake the things he had said or done and that he was a true friend. I actually felt bad for Morgan. It was as if he had taken off the rose-colored glasses he had been wearing for his father all his life.

When Carly was talking about gun shot wounds, I swear I thought she was going to tell Morgan about the time Sonny shot her in the head while she was giving birth to her youngest son. That truly would have been a WTF moment and I thank the writers for not going there.

Michael, fed up with trying to defend his father, went to the hospital where he first found Jason and of course, for some ungodly reason, Jason was the one to tell Michael that Sonny refused to leave the country because Dominic who's really Dante is Sonny's son.

I thought the kid's heart was going to jump right out of his chest. Michael just stood there staring at Jason, did he inherit the blink and stare from "Stone Cold." Sonny arrived in time to hug his adopted son and get arrested.

What comes next should be interesting - I truly hope the writers have Michael deal with the jealousy he obviously has for Dante. Not only did he think he would be rid of Dante forever, but I highly doubt in a million years that he's going to be okay with the fact that Dante is Sonny's flesh and blood. Dante is Sonny's first born son whereas Michael isn't even Sonny's biological son, he was adopted. There are so many different ways this story can unfold, hopefully the writers don't deprive the audience of what they and the story deserve.

When the shock wears off

Today's GH was a bit of a let down for me in terms of the Sonny/Olivia/Dante storyline.

While I enjoyed the show, I was a little disappointed with Sonny's reaction to finding out that Dominic was in fact Dante his son.

I was expecting him to have a ton of emotions running through him, yet we barely saw anything.

I know he's probably in shock about finding out that he shot his own son, I still wanted to see more. I wanted to see tears at the realization that he shot his own blood. I wanted to see anger at Olivia for never telling him the truth. Instead we saw Sonny as calm and collected. That is not how Sonny normally deals with these situations.

I hope TPTB have more in store for us in terms of Sonny's reaction. I for one find Maurice Bernard to be at his best when he's tortured and shooting his own son has got to make Sonny tortured.

I'm also looking forward to how the punk Michael reacts to the news that he has an older brother. Michael has been jealous of Dante since he started working for Sonny as Dominic. Michael has called him an "outsider" and made it clear that he, himself wants to follow in Sonny's footsteps. Not too mention it really has to hurt Michael to find out the one he has been calling an "outsider" is really Sonny's flesh and blood, unlike himself.

I really hope TPTB don't just make Michael and Dante best buddies all of a sudden. I expect Morgan to embrace his new-found older brother, but definitely not Michael.

This storyline has so much potential, I really hope TPTB don't blow it by just fluffing it over and forgetting about key factors in the storyline. Either way, I can't see how it all unfolds!

Laughter in youth

Through all the darkness of Sonny shooting the son he never knew came the light in form of Molly Lansing!

Once again the youngster stole the show as she described Jason as a "romantic character." Morgan Corinthos was quick to interject that is in fact a man not a character.

Molly trying as hard as she could, worked on getting Sam and Jason to agree to marry each other. The look on JaSam's faces were priceless. Not only could you see the love the two of them share for each other, but also that they were at least a little bit amused by the youngster's antics.

I not only enjoyed the scenes between the four of them but also when Molly told Carly that Sam and Jason "intend on staying star-crossed." That little girl can steal a scene anytime in my book.

Molly is a true romantic even for a little girl and I for one love that she recognizes the love between JaSam and that her mother, Alexis, is in desperate need of a love life that doesn't include sociopaths.

Whether JaSam gets married or not, I'm sure we'll see more of Molly's influence with the couple down the road - remember when she asked to speak to Jason alone to find out his intentions for her sister. Those scenes was priceless!
