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!
