General Hospital Talk

He made Primetime only to be slaughtered by a Serial Killer

2008-11-30T13:45:00.000-08:00

Coleman is getting a lot of play these days in General Hospital. His bar is always busy with the locals. He even became so close with Patrick that he was asked to be Patricks best man! Coleman while slightly sleazy isn't really a bad guy. Actually, he's a nice guy with sleazy lines. You can see through the words and find the smiles when watching him mix with the ladies. He did a pretty bang up job as best man, also.

Who'd a thunk a guy with a small role on a popular daytime soap could go primetime and in a big way! Blake Gibbons was a lucky man. Or was he. He made it to primetime. He was locked up in a Florida prison when given a key by an ADA (Jimmy Smits) to break out. Next thing you know he has a wing man (Michael C Hall) to drive him away from the prison. Blake Gibbon's character must have been thinking he won a get out of jail free card! While he may never go to prison again, his character met his end by the hands of a serial killer. Do you watch DEXTER? It's a very fascinating show.

Well, Blake sorry primetime was a short stint for you, but we're happy to keep you around Port Charles as long as you want to stay!

GENERAL HOSPITAL TALK WISHES YOU A HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Cody goes Vamp and burns up

2008-11-10T13:30:00.000-08:00

If you are a fan of the new guy Graham Shiels (Cody Paul, Jason's henchman), you probably were thrilled to see him go PrimeTime. Graham appeared in several episodes of new hit True Blood playing Liam a resident vampire. While Vampires are legally allowed to coexist with the rest of the population, many humans have a hard time with equal rights for the blood suckers. Some local residents not so hip on the new Vamp's in town burned down their house, leaving only ashes. Graham Shiels part may have been small, but he made a big splash in PrimeTime look for from this guy in the near future.

PS: Graham don't leave GH, I think Cody might get some more play any day now.

Don't Kill Me: I grew up on this show!

Are you waiting for Brenda Barrett's Return?

2008-10-16T15:20:00.000-07:00

Stop waiting. The news broke. Actually, lets call it the rumor mill since I can't recall my source. Vanessa Marcil has signed on to LipStick Jungle (primtime drama) and also for a short reality stint on Lifetime! Therefore, we will not be seeing Brenda Barrett's return to Port Charles!

At least now I can stop asking, "WHEN IS BRENDA COMING BACK."

Kate Howard's Wedding

2008-10-01T15:24:00.000-07:00

In honor of this bloggers upcoming wedding!

2008-06-15T08:51:00.000-07:00

Look at all those Carly's!

Who Got Stabbed? Who Got Kissed?

2008-05-19T16:57:00.000-07:00

You know by now that Claudia Zacharra was stabbed by Jerry Jacks. She survived. Nickolas took her into his home to help heal her. She revealed her identity to him. While delirious from pain and high fever she mistook Nickolas for Johnny and swore him to secrecy about Michael's shooting. UH OH.

KISSING CENTRAL

Who didn't get kissed? Let's see Johnny and Lulu, Jason and Elizabeth, Sonny and Carly (who went a lot further than kissing) and Jax and Kate. WOW. Fireworks.

Johnny and Lulu were interrupted by Trevor who was going on and on about the danger Lulu is in by this relationship and how Johnny will forever be under his fathers control. YAWN.

Jason and Elizabeth shared memories of Michael. Jason was beating himself down as the responsible party for Michael's condition. Of course, he failed to protect this sweet child. SAD BUT TRUE - OLD NEWS

Sonny and Carly - FIREWORKS. Ok it was more like a simmering fire. After wards she pushed the custody renunciation on him! OUCH ... Maybe we will see fireworks to come... TUNE IN FOR MORE HERE

Jax and Kate -- woooooooooooowwwwwww. They are good together, but didn't see this coming on the eve of Michael being dropped off in a hospital room where he is doomed to spend his eternity. HEARTLESS - SHAMELESS - CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE

Ready or Not?

2008-05-15T21:51:00.001-07:00

While I've been "on vacation" from daily play by play of our favorite show something happened. Dr. Ian Devlin was killed!

Will you miss him? On General Hospital probably not. So much else is going on. However, the actor might be missed.

So if you are a fan of Seamus Dever look for him in the upcoming comedy, Ready or Not set to air in 2008 on USA.

Good luck to you Seamus Dever. Fairwell Devlin.

Vanessa as Brenda is back

2008-05-05T15:14:00.000-07:00

It's been confirmed. Vanessa Marcil who originated the role of Brenda Barrett is returning to the cast of General Hospital. Check out the announcement by General Hospital on WCHS abc 8. While the article doesn't state for fact that Vanessa will revive the role of Brenda one could assume that's what is being applied by the folks over at General Hospital.

Now will she address if that was "her" that Jason pulled out of the abulance that blew up on the Night Shift? Will she let Port Charles know that Coop was her nephew and grieve over his death?

How will Brenda being back affect Sonny and Jax? As the article by WCHS stated both of them should be impacted by her return. Will she want to return to the PINK room now occupied by Spinelli?

The big return will happen this summer. I wonder will she be around on the Night Shift? Or grace us with both a Night and Day Shift role.

Glad to have you back Vanessa.

see some early Brenda:

Pushing the envelope

2008-04-21T13:57:00.000-07:00

Michael's eyes are open.
Kate is yelling at Sonny for running around without security. Sonny said he needs to keep busy. Kate said you need grieve. Sonny came back at top vocals indicating how he was responsible for Michael being shot.
Jason insisted Nikolas tell him why he wired that money to Devlin's account.
Jerry is holding a gun threatening a naked Devlin in the hospital shower. Devlin says nothing. Jerry said ok, lowers the aim of the gun down and states "oh I can't bare to watch." Devlin is afraid. Jerry realized the gun wasn't loaded. Devlin asked he show some discretion. Jerry said that it's time Devlin start showing discretion when it comes to him and Claudia.
Nikolas sat down to explain to Jason how he could see Emily. Jason wanted to know how Devlin fit in; Nikolas said he had access to the experimental medications.
Johnny reminded Ric to stay away from his father. Claudia attempted to explain how twisted her father was and how dangerous it would be to get him released. Ric tried to assure them their father was a changed man.
Kate suggested Sonny go talk to the doctors and research other treatment options. Sonny made his intentions clear that he needs to send a message.
Patrick informed Carly there is no change, it was just a reflex. She can't understand that since his eyes were open. She argued with Patrick.
Spinelli PI is back on the case, racing around, crawling and hiding jumps to the computers at the hospital. Unfortunately, as he began to access the computer Sam found him and demanded to know what he was doing. He talked his way out by saying he is looking for information on the computers. Just then Maxi came off the elevator and yelled at him, that she has been looking everywhere for him. She insisted he drop what he is doing, because she has an emergency.
Jason tried to convince Nikolas that Devlin was playing on his weakness. Nikolas continued to explain why he wanted to the drugs.
Kate continued pushing him to give up this vengeance that might destroy others. Diane walked in during the argument. Sonny requested Kate leave. Kate told him he should stop sleeping with Kate immediately. He told her she wasn't one to give him advice. She simply stated she was his attorney. As his attorney he noted that she shouldn't be sleeping with his body guard.
Ric told Johnny and Claudia to prepare for his release. They bent over backwards explaining why their father should remain where he was. Ric said that is why I had both of your visiting privileges suspended. Ric left. Claudia biting her nails looked to Johnny and confirmed he can't get out. He agreed.
Ric was back to visit Daddy Zacchara, who is in a wheelchair. He reported back about his children's feelings toward him and keeping him locked up.
Claudia and Johnny discuss how to block Ric's actions. Claudia is afraid Daddy will get rid of her to control Johnny.
Sonny demanded to know if Max was sleeping with Diane, he found it hard to respond. However, Max said yes and it was the best sex of his life. Diane said it's none of Sonny's business.
Carly continued to talk to Michael and assured him he did good by opening his eyes. She urged him to keep fighting and come back to her. Sam knocked on the door; she wanted to see if Carly needed anything. Carly said you don't need to be nice to me. She insisted she is concerned about Michael. Carly let her emotions flood out and made it clear that Michael is fine and he is getting better.
Jax arrived at Jason's house. He explained his concern about how Carly is in denial. Jason just learned that Michael opened his eyes, as explained it was only reflex. Jax said he couldn't get through to her and was hoping that Jason could.
Claudia told Johnny how well she remembered the day their dad sent her away. She never wanted to leave him. He knew. She believed their dad was jealous of them. Claudia still wants to protect him, now he wants to protect her. Claudia broke down in tears.
Kate showed up at the Zacchara house. Claudia asked what the hell she wanted.
Sonny said he has a say in anything that affects his job performance. Both Diane and Sonny go at it about how and why they should or should not have a relationship. Never once did either of them let Max interrupt. Sonny forbid Max to sleep with, date, or even be around Diane. She went off on him. Sonny got a call and the two of them left. Diane cussed him out while they walked away.
Jason sat down with Jax to explain that Carly does whatever Carly wants to, no matter who says what to her. Jax hoped that Jason could convince her there is nothing more to do for Michael, but Morgan needs his mom. Jax reminded Jason that she trusts him more than anyone else, and the only person she might listen to would be Jason.
Spinelli and Maxi enter a hotel room. They begin searching the room. She wants Spinelli to break into the computer of one of Kate's competitors. Spinelli said the dastardly doctor's rooms takes priority. Just then Devlin arrived home. Spinelli hid, Maxi was caught in the room.
Patrick told Carly and Jax that Robin has agreed to take over as Michael's doctor until she can find another doctor. He provided her with a list of doctors.
Ric meets with Logan. Ric said it has nothing to do with Sonny. Ric offered Logan a job as a protector to Zacchara.
Zacchara is now at Shady Brooke. He makes friends with the nurses. Johnny walked in. He tells Johnny he is a changed man.
Kate said Sonny is grieving for Michael. Claudia told Kate she is way over her head. Kate was there to deliver a message that if she hurts Sonny in any way, she will destroy them in the public eye. Claudia said come and get me you skinny b____. Sonny arrived just then and told Claudia to back off.
Robin explained why Michael is moving to another room. Carly wouldn't let Patrick talk because he was a negative energy. Robin said Michael should be released by the end of the week and they should be talking about long term care.
Sam ran into Jason and got an update about Michael. Sam offered any help needed. Jason asked what she knows about Devlin. She gave a good report on him as a doctor. She said he went to med school with Patrick Drake.
Devlin confronted her. Maxi used her fast talking, but he misunderstood and began kissing her.
Logan said he wasn't going to pay nursemaid for some crazy nut case. Ric said he regained the use of his arms. Logan was listening. Ric wanted Logan inside as his body guard and to provide Ric with the information he needs. Ric dropped Johnny's name, as being opposed to all this. Logan was prompt in his acceptance. They shook hands.
Johnny told his father that Ric hasn't seen half of what he has. Daddy said it would be better. He insisted that Johnny welcome him back with open arms, or he would kill Claudia.
Sonny said Max is outside in the car waiting to take her home. Claudia urged him to go after Kate. Sonny asked Claudia out on a date. The look on her face, is like are you crazy?

Friday on GH

2008-04-19T11:15:00.001-07:00

A brief recap of yesterday on GH:

Sonny made it known around town that he was open and ready for anyone who wants him dead to take another shot.
Jason and Spinelli continued to follow up on Devlin and found that Nikolas provided Devlin 10 Million.
Lulu and Maxi in traditional Lulu and Maxi style are fighting it out over Johnny.
Devlin visited Claudia at her home. Both Trevor and Johnny were there at the time of visit. Johnny figured out that Devlin was the one who shot Michael.
Jason confronted Nikolas on the money.

The moment we have all been wondering about: Michael opened his eyes! Or least it appeared as though he did. We'll have to wait for Monday to know if he did or if Carly was just having a hallucination.

Place your bets

2008-04-17T22:01:00.000-07:00

Sonny made his grand entrance at the Haunted Star. Luke greeted his pal Sonny.
Carly doesn't want to go home, she is afraid he might wake up while she is gone.
Logan and Johnny both are waiting for Lulu to respond.
Jason instructed Spinelli to find out which Doctor was driving by the warehouse the night Michael was shot.
All eyes were on Sonny when he entered, all action stopped. Luke let Sonny know Johnny will be arriving. Sonny said he was there to play.
Ric went over to Sonny and inquired about Michael. Sonny wasn't too receptive.
Jax said he didn't understand what this was like for Carly, but he understood what it was being like a little brother being left alone. Jax recounted events of what he went through while the parents were always focused on Jerry and his troubles. Carly was afraid to leave the room. Jax convinced her it was best for Morgan.
Robin and Patrick were all dressed up and ready to go out, when Robin wasn't feeling so well.
Lulu and Johnny have an argument on the waterfront; unfortunately, Logan had to witness it. Logan offered to walk her over.
Jason was impatient and wanted Spinelli to speed up the process. Spinelli asked for a list of doctors that might not like Sonny. Jason said that Sonny had lots of enemies and told the story of AJ.
Ric wanted to know what Sonny thought he was doing. Sonny didn't pay him any mind.
Johnny arrived. Luke gave him the same speech as Sonny, no trouble, shootouts, etc. Johnny told Claudia now was the time. She didn't agree. Sonny watched them for a distance.
Carly and Jax arrived home to see Morgan. Carly picked up young Morgan and held him tight.
While Spinelli was waiting for the search results, he inquired as to how Michael got his name. Jason recounted the story.
Lulu found Nikolas playing with Nadine. She was upset he didn't wait for her and wanted his full attention. Nadine told him he should go.
Robin and Patrick arrived and check out the scene.
Sonny was quietly playing, but looking very ominous.
Kate and Maxi arrived. Kate prepped Maxi on what image they were portraying tonight.
Nikolas checked on Lulu.
Robin begins to become ill, Patrick rushed off to get something fizzy.
Luke and Tracy stood back and watched everyone.
Johnny approached Sonny and gave his concern for the shooting and assured him that he and his sister had nothing to do with it; the truce was still in place. Sonny was calm, cool and collective. He simply said Ok, but whoever did will pay, then he continued to play.
Kate shuffled over and told Sonny that was quite a performance. Sonny was cold, but then agreed to depart with her.
Carly sat Morgan down to talk with him. He asked where Michael was. Carly told him there was an accident and he was hurt. Jax was listening, but disappointed that Carly filled Morgan with hope of Michael's full recovery.
Spinelli pulled up the rental agency for the car.
Sonny and Kate are outside, and she wanted to know why he was there. Sonny said he was just having a good time. He played it like it was his problem, his issue. She wasn't accepting the brush off.
As Diane started to approach Max at one of the tables, Alexis rushed over and pulled her out of the way. Diane told Alexis to get out of her way, or she would pull her by her hair and throw her off the boat. Max then noticed Diane and welcomed her. Diane warmed up by his side.
Maxi chatted up Johnny. Maxi discussed how she someday hoped to have a business like Kate. Johnny told her to go out and make some money. Out of nowhere, Johnny walked behind the bar and presented Maxi some money (chips) to play. Who do you think was watching from the bar? Yes, Lulu. And oh did Johnny know.
Sonny reassured Kate he wasn't shutting her out; he just wanted to get his mind off Michael. She told him he was making a very dark and destructive choice. Basically, Sonny sent Kate back in to work the room. He also said not to ask what he is doing, because he doesn't understand.
Maxi and Johnny started playing the tables. She was excited.
Lucky found Sam to be with her; she immediately wanted to know about why he brought Elizabeth and didn't even tell her.
Patrick and Robin hit the tables and won.
As Carly tried to leave and Jax started again on why Carly should stay home. He told her she needed to face the truth. Then he slipped and said what Elizabeth told him. Carly said Elizabeth was wrong.
Spinelli requested Jason rest, take a nap. Further, he wanted Jason to know he wasn't responsible. Jason blew up and said he wasn't at the warehouse. In anger, he yelled out how he didn't want to believe that Sonny chose to save Kate over Michael.
Robin and Patrick came home with a big stack of cash winnings. Robin said she was hungry. He grabbed her and said he loved seeing her this happy.
Spinelli asked if Jason blamed Sonny. He said Sonny made an unfortunate choice. For a time they discuss how Carly was doing. The search results came in and Devlin's name popped up as the renter of the vehicle.
Sonny and Kate came back and in hit the tables. Devlin and Claudia were playing the same table. Sonny dumped and lost a ton of cash. Max and Diane started to make out.
Lulu approached Maxi and Johnny to confront them. She said Maxi is working him. Lulu invited him to go out for air with him. He agreed.
Jax and Carly argued over Michael's condition. Carly lashed out at Jax for abandoning her, how he wasn't there for any of it and now he ambushed her and took her away from Michael. Tears were flowing hard. Anger wasn't far behind. The anguish was clear as day.
All dressed up, Patrick and Robin enjoy a good burger and some fries. Patrick said he was ok with her mood swings. Romantically they kiss.
Spinelli said Devlin was on call, but his car was reported stolen. Jason ordered Spinelli to do a full history on Devlin.
Nikolas and Nadine were having fun. Nikolas told her there is a method not luck to winning. Meanwhile, Nadine kept winning on the same number from luck.
Alexis dropped a chip. Jerry told her to go down and get it. She said you want me to crawl on the dirty floor to get a five dollar chip. He cleared up her confusion and advised it was five thousand dollar chip. They both dropped quickly to go retrieve the chip.
While Max and Diane were making out, they dropped something. Max went down to retrieve it, and saw Alexis and Jerry kissing hot and heave down there.
Johnny and Lulu talk on the waterfront, and slightly make up.
Carly with a sincere heart and in strong pain demanded to know why Jax wanted her to believe the worst when it hasn't even been a week. The emotions were strong.
Sonny was at the hospital and told Michael about his night. While talking to Michael he revealed his plan to keep going out on the town without guards; so whoever shot Michael will come after him and when they do he's going to kill them.

The Haunted Star Reopening

2008-04-16T21:37:00.000-07:00

Nikolas gazed over Nadine while she was sleeping. She woke and he told her how beautiful she is, he said he tossed and turned dreaming about her. SHE WOKE UP and in pain.
Jax arrived back at the hospital to find Carly recounting her time during the explosion for Michael and letting him know that he too will come back.
Jason at home takes out his black box. He pulls it near his chest. [If you don't know about Jason's black box it is filled with pictures of Michael as a baby, and now has Jake photos, as well].
Nadine attempted to stand and prove to Nikolas the swelling has gone. He said it was clear she is limping and in pain. Nadine started in on him again, about choosing Emily over life saving surgery.
Lulu arrived at the Haunted Star to see how the place is shaping up for tonight's opening. Luke asked if she will be making an appearance. She said she's going to come to see it before her dad leaves town again. Luke jokingly said how he knew she was coming to see Johnny.
Johnny is all business this morning and wants to make sure they have a plan to make sure that Claudia is not linked to the shooting.
Ric visited Daddy Zacchara in his prison hospital room. The two talk about who is behind wanting to keep him locked up and Ric pointed the fingers at his kids.
Jax said he stayed with Michael if Carly would go take a shower, clean up and get a good meal. She refused to leave. Jax said you can't stay with him every second of the day for the rest of your life. She said she is going to be there when he wakes up.
Spinelli came home with groceries. Jason was not chatty; instead he wanted to get down to business. He informed Spinelli they are going to find who shot Michael. Spinelli was ready to comply and in his speak said it was normal he'd want to seek vengeance. Jason said he was the one who hurt Michael; it was all the decisions he made that put Michael there that day.
Lucky came to hospital to invite Elizabeth to the opening of the Haunted Star with him. He made a time to come by and see the boys before they go.
Ric informed Zacchara how Johnny and his boys picked him up. Zacchara said it was Claudia not Johnny. Ric said he was taking a substantial risk facilitating his release. Zacchara said when he was free and head of the family again Ric could name his price. Ric asked he doesn't discuss any of this with his family.
Claudia and Johnny argue again about Johnny turning himself over to Sonny. He finally agreed that neither of them could turn themselves over. Johnny then came up with a plan to go to Sonny and let him know they had nothing to do with it, and invite him to interrogate any of their people to reassure them. Claudia confirmed there was no link back to them (but had some hesitation in her eyes).
Luke and Lulu talk about what if any involvement with Michael's shooting. Luke admitted he liked Johnny, but also thinks he's a walking disaster.
Jax asked if Patrick examined Michael today. Carly said he has amazing inner strength. Jax was worried about her clinging to false hope. She announced that Michael is going to surprise everyone.
Alexis stopped by to get an update. Jax told her the truth about Michaels condition.
Jerry confronted Devlin on the waterfront. Devlin said there is no evidence whatsoever. Devlin said if you want to protect yourself, protect me.
Luke walked Tracy through the Haunted Star, she seemed very proud of him. Tracy reminded him he is still a heart attack waiting to happen. She wanted him to stay away from alcohol, reviewed his diet and told him he needed exercise. He did his best to tell her they needed to relax and have fun. She looked very worried about him.
Spinelli reported to Jason that nothing has turned up yet. Jason ordered him to keep looking. Jason plans on making sure whoever did this pays.
Claudia arrived and Spinelli urged her to leave. She turned to Jason and said we need to talk about who shot Michael.
Jax revealed a plan to Alexis that if Carly goes home that she might admit the truth in answering Morgan's questions. Alexis said that might work, the worst thing a mother can feel is helpless; you need to let her find her way through this.
Lulu arrived to see Nikolas. She told him the Haunted Star is reopening and begged him to take her.
Johnny told Luke Sonny won't shoot him at the Haunted Star not with them being friends and all. Tracy asked Johnny to stay away from Lulu. He said he'll be there for the opening, what Lulu does is her business.
Claudia tried to convince Jason that she and Johnny had nothing to do with Michael's shooting. She set up the scenario that a third party had something to do with this. Jason said when we have proof we are going to go after the shooter and there is nothing on this earth that is going to stop them!
Carly showed Michael the giraffe that Jason gave him. Jax came back in. It was time to have Michael's bandages, so they step out in the hall. Jax reminded Carly that Morgan needed his mother.
The Haunted Star opened its doors again! The place was packed. Tracy took Luke's drink away. Jerry found Alexis there; he gave her chips to play. With flirtation the two took off for a night of fun. Nadine arrived to play, but of course, is clueless how to play. With each drink Luke grabs, Tracy snags it away. Lucky and Elizabeth looked good together. Sam walked in to find them together; Lucky ran over to convince her they are not on a date. He told her in no uncertain terms he wanted to be with her. Ric ran in to Elizabeth they made small talk. As Alexis and Jerry are having fun, he noticed that Devlin arrived. Nadine's number hit and she was jumping up and down with joy. Nikolas was there to see her enjoyment.
Jax continued to tell Carly how this was affecting Morgan and that she needed to tell him the truth. Jax said you have to tell him he has been shot and is in a coma, and he needs to hear that from her.
Lulu was waiting on the waterfront for Nikolas when Johnny walked by, she said she must have missed him. Logan saw them talking and made a couple smug comments.
Claudia arrived. Alexis went to say hi to Sam. The nurses were having fun. Ric steered clear of the women. Devlin watched everyone from a distance. Jerry and Claudia exchanged words casually.
Spinelli and Jason went through every piece of video footage; nothing was working. He pulled up one last possibility. Jason saw something. They narrowed in and saw doctor ID tags. Jason thought that was weird.

Unbreakable Love

2008-04-15T22:00:00.000-07:00

Lulu back peddles in explaining why she can't have dinner with Logan. He was confused. In explaining she made it clear she wanted to be his friend only.
Johnny told Claudia that he was with Lulu when the shooting happened.
Jax attempted to convince Elizabeth to tell him the truth; he knew that Carly was holding something back. His intentions were clear; he wanted to help Michael and Carly. Elizabeth said there isn't anything anyone can do for Michael.
Carly and Sonny took their argument in the hallway. Once again she confirmed her position; she wanted him to stay the hell away from Michael. Sonny flat out refused.
Robin returned home with cookies for her and Patrick. He said he was now completely sober. She said he was free to go, but if he wanted to stay she would enjoy his company. He was perplexed. She explained that Sonny was tearing himself up over Michael, and how Carly ordered him out of Michael's life. In reviewing this she realized she had no room to talk, she had been doing the same thing to him. [That wasn't exact, but the idea is that Robin realized she was keeping him out of the way from being a dad]. She asked him if his feelings changed about being a father.
Logan wanted Lulu to change her position, she refused. Lulu expressed her like for him, but confirmed there was no attraction. He thought she faked it in the past. Of course, she didn't; but things changed. Logan said he wanted a valid reason why he was being blown off. He called her out about wanting Johnny over him.
Johnny and Claudia discussed how he came to be with Lulu at the time of the shooting and why they are always fighting. Claudia wanted to know what was really going on with Lulu. He confirmed he cared about her and knows she cares about him. He wants her in his life, but he's afraid that his life will hurt her. Claudia said keep her, but don't fall in love.
Jax asked if Michael's case is hopeless. Elizabeth didn't want to discuss this with him, but he continued to beg her for answers. Elizabeth went ahead and told him everything she knew. In explaining, she said she overheard Patrick telling Robin the coma was permanent. It became clear for Jax. He now understood that Carly was in denial; she can't face the fact Michael is already gone. [Hope he doesn't say that to her].
Jason breaks up the fight between Carly and Sonny. She threw Sonny's apology back at him. She continued to remind him how guilty he was for Michael's injury. Sonny said Michael would want him to be there. Jason agreed.
Claudia explained to Johnny in detail how love makes you unstable.
Lulu said she didn't know if she had a future with Johnny. Logan said he gets the picture. Lulu continued that her feelings go way beyond friendship with Johnny. Logan had trouble accepting that Lulu was terminating their relationship.
Elizabeth told Jax that maybe Carly isn't ready to hear the devastating truth; denial isn't always a bad thing. Elizabeth continued by saying how Carly may be blaming herself for what has happened to Michael, so let her cling on to hope for longer if she needs to. Jax said this is the first thing he has heard in the last 24 hours that has made any sense.
Jason made it clear they all failed Michael, nothing can change what happened. He wanted everyone to remember that Michael needs them all right now and that has to come first. [That's right Jason kick some parental ass].
Logan blew up and stormed out.
Claudia said her advice isn't out of a book, it was form personal experience. Then explaining about her mother she admired was broken by their father. The woman was reduced to a shell after their father was done with her. Claudia said she will only love someone who will stand by her unconditionally and keep her secrets; but that man doesn't exist. Johnny should do the same thing. Love is a loosing proposition. There is only one person who will always have his back, who he can trust that's her.
Carly admitted that Michael loves Sonny; so she'll allow him to go in and tell him to fight. However, she doesn't want to misunderstand he doesn't belong. Jax arrived to see Carly looking defeated. She explained that Jason convinced her to let Sonny see Michael. Jax agreed with Jason. Once again, we recapped how Sonny was supposed to be their protector, etc. [It's becoming a broken record].
Sonny told Michael he let him down. He was supposed to protect him, but he didn't honor that privilege. He tried to figure out how Michael felt during that last minute. He explained to Michael that he will carry for the rest of his life how he failed him. He begged him to wake up and come back to them. He let him know that mommy and daddy needed him.
Patrick said he doesn't know. What is daddy boot camp? With joy he said he can't deny the baby is coming.
Carly anguished over her decision to have Sonny in her life. Jax tried to convince her, she didn't need to worry or think about that right now. She needed to get along with Sonny right now, for Michael.
Sonny continued his conversation with Michael. He told him all the great qualities that he has, and how he can draw from those qualities to bring himself back. Jax and Carly are back in the room. Sonny made it clear he would be back tomorrow. She was ok with that decision. [Carly had calmed down. I guess Jax is good for her].
Patrick informed Robin she is glowing and is more beautiful than ever. Of course, they embraced and passionately kissed.
Sonny sat down at home to have a drink. Kate came over, because she saw him arrive home. He told her that he doesn't blame her and he doesn't regret saving her life. She is precious to him and he loves her very much. Right now, he just doesn't know how to fix this. She doesn't either. They hold each other for comfort.
Jax visited with Michael. He said he was sorry he wasn't there when it happened. Jax explained how Michael changed the course of his life and how he loved being his step father. All of sudden, Jax said it "had" been a joy watching him grow up. Just then Carly popped over and wanted to know why it sounded like he was saying goodbye to him.
We come back to Robin and Patrick under a blanket on the couch. [I'm thinking they did it - what do you think]? Patrick said he loved her just as much as ever. She said she loved him too, and maybe that can be enough for now.
Carly said she understood that he might think the worst, but Michael's color is getting better and he is getting stronger. Jax stood and he told her she had the best instincts of anyone he knows. He hugged her letting her know he believed her.
Sonny and Kate hold each other reviewing the recent events in a loving and caring manner. Sonny announced he won't let himself tap into that dark place he is so familiar with for Michael with God as his witness, he won't let that happen.

Doing what's best for family

2008-04-14T22:00:00.000-07:00

Johnny romantically plays the piano, as Lulu saunters in to watch. She complimented his piece. She was there to inform him that no one will blame him for the shooting.

Sonny stumbling around with a gun in his hand loads it and then points in toward his mouth. Squinting, as though, he is about to pull the trigger he flashes on Michael. Just then he hears a noise, and it's Robin. He hides the gun. She announced she is there to help. They discuss the children, their mothers, and his opinion he that he is a selfish bastard.
Johnny inquires about Michael. After briefing him, she goes on about how she told everyone that he was with her. He is pissed.

Elizabeth says she can't stop loving him, even now.
Carly continued to kick Claudia out of Michael's room. Claudia with deep sincerity explained no child deserved this. Carly took out all her anger on Claudia, justified or not. As Carly is yelling at the top of her lungs for Claudia to get out, Jax arrived.
Jax didn't know who she was, Carly informed him. Now both of them kicked her out. Jax embraced Carly and inquired about Michael.
Sonny told Robin all he wanted to do was teach Michael about the coffee business. Frustrated he blamed himself for leaving Michael wide open. He knows that they were aiming for him, and he always walks away without a scratch. Robin said wanting to show your son there is more than being in the mob, you were trying to be a good father. Sonny said that Carly was right he didn't deserve to be a father; he grabbed Kate instead of Michael.
Johnny and Lulu argue over playing games with each other. Johnny said not everyone he does is about her. Once again, Lulu stomped out telling him to have a nice life.
Elizabeth said she doesn't want to risk her boys getting hurt, but it's her choice to. He apologized. She said she wasn't, she loved him and their son. She hoped that there would be some way she could be with him again. [Everyone had to realize that the marriage proposal would be taken back and no marriage would actually take place, once Michael was shot. IT SUCKS. Let them just be together. Enough said]. She begged him to continue to meet at the safe house. Jason said it's up to her. Rolling tears they go back and forth about why they shouldn't be together, yet how much they love each other and need to be with each other. Jason said he wanted her and the boys to have a safe life. Passionately the two kiss and embrace, then he departed. [It's hard watching Stone Cold with flowing tears].
Diane defended Max. The two women argue. Diane goes on about all the great qualities of Max. Max then explained to Alexis he wouldn't stop at anything to protect Sonny. Alexis begged her to give up on Max, besides she would only be second to Carly. Max fumbled for words.
Carly explained she no longer wanted Sonny anywhere near her kids. Jax listened to Carly explain the details. Carly beats herself up again about Michael getting shot.
Robin attempted to comfort Sonny. She explained that Carly manipulated any man and used her kids to work the men, AJ, Tony, Jason and him. Sonny made it clear that he promised to take care of him and love him; he should have put Michael first. Therefore, he has failed his son in everyway that matters.
Max now defended Diane and him, he pointed out that Alexis is no relationship expert. Diane brought up Jerry Jax. In the mean time, throughout this discussion Max and Diane manage to compliment each other. Alexis departed. Max thanked Diane for defending him. Awkwardly Diane says she is leaving, Max held up her underwear she almost left behind. She came to retrieve it and he leaned in for a goodnight kiss.
Robin continued talking with Sonny about how relationships are difficult. Robin reminded him that Carly knew what life Sonny led when she got involved with him. Sonny defended Carly again. Robin said no one has the right to push a father out of their childs life.
Jax wanted to know when Michael will regain consciousness. Carly didn't give a clear response. Jason arrived while they were talking. Jax said Michael is doing better he squeezed Carly's hand this afternoon. Jax went back in to see Michael. Jason with great concern looked at Carly and said she needed to tell him what the doctors said.
Claudia found Johnny at the piano. She sat next to him. Johnny said it's not that easy anymore to get lost in the music. Claudia said she saw Michael in the hospital. They both agreed it was stupid for her to visit him. Her anguish over what he was going through with all those tubes going down his throat; she then said when Johnny was a little boy she promised to protect him and he won't pay for her mistakes. Johnny put his arm around his sister with love.
Johnny asked if anyone accused her of anything at the hospital. Claudia said she left Carly yell at her, and her husband Jasper Jacks might have suspicion. Johnny said you won't let me go to Sonny to take responsibility, neither can you. Claudia feared for her life.
Robin said instead of blaming yourself for everything have you considered what Michael would want?
Jax left so Jason could read to Michael. He never actually left he just peered in through the door from the hall. [We all know that Jax has been and continues to be jealous of Jason].
Johnny said he is not a little boy anymore she didn't need to protect him forever. Claudia said she can try. Johnny convinced her to keep a low profile; she asked he do the same with Lulu. He stated he was done with Lulu for good this time. Claudia worried about Johnny's heart being broken.
Lulu arrived at Kelly's to find a romantic dinner for two prepared by Logan.
Jax showed up on Elizabeth's doorstep. He wanted her to tell him what happened during surgery. Elizabeth explained the procedure. He asked if Michael will recover. She told him to talk with Carly.

Camp Grow Up A Lot

2008-04-10T20:04:00.000-07:00

Today, the headline on Soap Opera Weekly shows a picture of Jesse Soffer (age 24) with the proposed question, "GH's New Michael?"

When young Michael went into a coma, we here FORMORTV talked over the possibility that they could replace the actor with someone new, someone older. I like to call it CAMP GROW UP A LOT.

What is CAMP GROW UP A LOT? I coined this phrase years back when a young Jason and young AJ went off one summer to camp. I think they were about 8 and 9. The next time, I saw them they were about 16 and 17. Even though I, myself was very young, I found this quick grow up odd, especially because they had just gone off to camp. Then all of sudden they are in high school!

After they returned from Camp Grow Up A Lot was when we met the teen set of the 80's, Jason, AJ, Robin, Brenda and Karen. Some of you might remember that pack of teens. It was pre brain injury for Jason. Karen was still alive. Robin "was intelligent" so she skipped a grade or two to graduate with all of them. Karen and Jason was an item. Brenda was the bad girl. AJ was the troubled teen. Brenda and Robin became best friends. I could go on and on, but enough about the 80's teen set of Port Charles.

Skipping ahead past the teens of the 90's, Emily, Elizabeth, Nikolas, and Lucky and instead turn to a more recent teen set. Do you recall when Georgie and Maxi were suddenly 10 years older? How about little Lulu? One day she was 12 the next day she is graduating high school. Throw in a Dillon and Diego and you have one teen set ready for drama.

Now we are toying with the idea of replacing Michael. Let's review this scenario: If Michael goes in to the coma as a 12 year old (we know he is 12 because Lulu just said so the other day when in shock that a 12 year old could get shot) and comes out let's say 19 what does that mean for the rest of the kids? We have to grow up Christina, Cam, Morgan, Spencer, Molly, and Jake. Could this be our new teen set?

Another possibility is we grow up only a couple of these kids like Christina, Morgan and Cam. Then mix in a few new kids and we are ready for teen drama all over again. Don't worry about Spencer, Molly and Jake they will also grow up in the not to distant future.

All soap operas have CAMP GROW UP A LOT. We can also change this to CAMP CHANGE A LOT. Camp Change A Lot is across the street from Camp Grow Up A Lot. There is no age limit at Camp Change A Lot. The only requirement at Camp Change A Lot is you sign in as one actor and sign out as another actor playing the character! Sometimes you don't even have to look the same; this is the beauty of Camp Change A Lot!

Oh but Soap Operas don't hold the monopoly of Camp Grow Up A Lot or Camp Change A Lot, both daytime and primetime shows are familiar with these camps. They are used quite frequently throughout TV LAND!

Patrick found the bullet; it was where he hoped it wouldn't be. [What does that mean? Is he going to be in a coma? Or have some serious brain injury like Jason?]
Nadine said she wasn't spying on him. He threatened to report her for being in his office. She threatened to report him or better yet Devlin for selling him drugs for $10 Million. They argue over Emily, the drugs, Spencer and how this is going to play out. She stormed out slamming the door.
Maxi told Spinelli the story of BJ and how she got her heart. She then went on about loss of Coop and her sister. She realized that her mother had grief when Georgie died. She convinced Spinelli to stay away from Jason and everyone else right now. Spinelli came up with an idea. Some place they can go that may still do some good.
Trevor told Alexis that Johnny doesn't have any facts. Trevor warned Johnny to reconsider. Johnny set up a great story to make Trevor look guilty, both Claudia and him over heard Trevor say he wanted to kill Sonny. Trevor said he had a great alibi. After Trevor left Alexis told Claudia and Johnny whoever is responsible will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Alexis departed. Johnny told Claudia he only bought them time, if she didn't fix this he would still go to Sonny and left him know he was responsible.

She said what no remorse? He said we can both walk away from this. The screen faded away from them, the next thing you see is Claudia leaving the room and Devlin doing a broken scared laugh. [What happened?]
Patrick informed the parents how soon it is to determine how bad the damage is. Carly was granted permission to see him two at a time, she took Jason with her.
Claudia is crying in the limo telling Johnny that Michael was older. He was older than Johnny was when their dad tried to kill him and his mother was killed instead. She saw the whole thing. At that moment she knew it was terrible and unredeemable to shoot a child. She has now become her father. Johnny tried to comfort her telling her it's not her fault, she didn’t' mean for that to happen.
Nikolas watched over Spencer sleeping in his bed.
Carly talked with Michael telling how good he did. She told him that she and Jason will be there with him every single second.
Patrick checked in with Robin. She thanked him for saving Michael's life. He said you’re talking like an expectant mother not a doctor. Patrick said it would have been kinder to just let Michael die. He said you know, as well as I do, that Michael will never wake up again.
Sonny told Kate he wanted to pray. She said you should. Sonny reviewed his own remorse for his life and livelihood. He never thought his son would have to bleed for him. [By the way, it's not really his son, so where are the Quartermaines? I would think they would want to be there.. just my thought].

Elizabeth was in Jason's place waiting for him, when he arrived home. They embraced. He gave positive reports about his hands. They kissed. [Mush Mush].

Luke returned the threat and said if anything happened to his daughter Johnny is dead. He has no problem taking the money, but if anything happens to Lulu he has no problem killing either.

Jason said he wants more security and they need to hire more men. Sonny said no, he doesn't want Michael to see him surrounded by men. Jason said are you thinking about getting out of the business.

Johnny and Claudia argue once again about Sonny. He accused her of hiding something, and wanted to know if Claudia has feelings for him. Johnny said if you like him we'll let him live. Claudia said she had every reason to want Sonny dead. She can't forgive him for what he did to Johnny keeping him locked up. They angonized over the past and their father. The two really are beginning to bond as brother and sister. [It's almost like by killing Sonny they are taking out feelings for their father on him].

Jason explained to Spinelli he had a lot of time to think about Jake. Spinelli is brightened by the news that Jason missed his child. Jason said he didn't want to miss Jake anymore. Spinelli inquired if he wants to now claim Jake as his own.

Claudia told Johnny how hard it was for to leave him behind when she left. He understood. They reviewed the back story of their lives. Claudia said when people under estimate you they are easier to take down and that's why she went after Sonny. In telling the story Claudia was crying over Sonny treating her like a whore. Johnny expressed his hate for Sonny. Trevor interrupted them and said we need to eliminate them. Johnny said we have a truths with him. Trevor said we need to strike.

Spinelli PI

2008-03-31T16:37:00.000-07:00

The show opened with an episode of Spinelli PI. It's cute. They use an old 50's theme and really amp it up. Of course, something cute always happens like in this case, Spinelli while sneaking around hits a waiter. Thank goodness Sonny and Milo didn't notice him (or at least that we could see).

Jerry covers up why he is meeting Devlin, by saying he was asking about Nikolas. She probably bought it, since they both played it off.
Zacchara said bottom-line it for me Ricardo. He said that he can work it so that it looks like he was incompetent at the time, but better now yadda yadda yadda. Zacchara asked how much? Ric replied it wasn't about money. Zacchara explained it always about money or revenge. AH HA. Ric basically said when he gets Zacchara well and out of the hospital they will take down Trevor.
Jax inquired if Lulu needs a loan? He would be happy to help her out. Maxi of course pitched in her two cents. Lulu then explained her qualifications to Kate. Jax gave her a chance to explain her knowledge in marketing (the buz word that Lulu used). Lulu does bash Maxi of course. Jax said I don't know if you can turn that down. Kate said fine Lulu gets a chance, as second assistant.
Spinelli PI back on the case with theme music and all.
Johnny again said stay away from my sister. Claudia said its ok she arranged the meeting and then told Johnny about the meeting.

Someone is going to die!

2008-03-26T16:00:00.000-07:00

Someone is going to die or so the tabloids are saying. They picture Carly, Sonny, Kate and Claudia indicating one of these four will die! Who will it be?

Let's see...

Sonny is a main character. However, the actor has left the show before. The character could go. It could be time for him to leave. His ex wife is now married and Jason could take over the business. Plus, he thinks he has made a truths with Johnny, but that really isn't the case for Johnny who is hiring a hit man. Then again, it's so obvious that Sonny is about to be killed, because of the hit man, it might be too obvious.

Carly is pretty much a main character. We love to hate her. Now we just tolerate her. It is possible the actress has personal reasons for leaving. The character is sort of boring now. However, wouldn't the time to have killed her off have been during the explosion?

Kate is not a main character. She is trying to make a go of it with Sonny. However the character sort of dropped in out of nowhere and could probably leave the same way. One might speculate that if she was the one leaving the show, the perfect timing for her to do that is when she said no to the marriage proposal. Now, it looks like she is trying to become more of a fixture with getting back with Sonny, not pressing charges against Michael, hiring Maxi as an assistant and doing business with Jax. (Does anyone else think they would make a great couple?).

Claudia she could be the one to go! It is odd seeing both her and Jason in scenes together. I still fondly think of her as Carly, the one who slept with Jason, the one who fell in love with Jason. I'm glad the actress is back. As for the character she is new so she could go, but there is SO much potential for her. She has so much to gain by sticking around and making more trouble for Sonny and Trevor.

So who is expendable? I'm really not sure. Maybe it could be someone else that could be killed. That is always possible. Who will go? Who will stay?

What about Brenda?

2008-03-01T21:43:00.000-08:00

This is bugging me. During Night Shift they brought a woman in to the hospital by ambulance. If you recall, this ambulance caught fire and Jason had to rescue this woman from inside. The woman ended up having plastic surgery. The name on her door said Barrett. Toward the end of the show we saw her watch carefully her best friend Robin Scorpio and her ex Jason from a far. If that wasn't Brenda why was some weird woman watching them? Let's just assume that was Brenda.

Now, let's examine Coop. It was revealed everywhere but on the show that Coop Barrett was, in fact, Julia Barrett & A J Quartermaines son. Why did this fact never come out? We just have a boy running around with the same name Barrett, working under Sonny (by blackmail) and no one thinks to ask if there is a connection? You know because of the last name Barrett?

We have a woman who appears out of nowhere on Night Shift and a young man named Barrett running around town, both storylines end without connection to the Barrett family. What happened?

I want resolution General Hospital!

In Memoriam: Shell Kepler

2008-02-26T23:21:00.000-08:00

Shell Kepler passed away February 1, 2008, at only 49 years of age. It was reported she had kidney failure. You probably remember her as gossip girl Amy Vining.

Her storyline was that of a supporting cast member. She was raised as sisters with Laura. I found the following character description on some soap site:

"Through the years, Amy and Laura's sisterly bond remained firm. Amy loved her sister's family and was always there for Laura when times became difficult."

If it's true that through the years Amy & Laura's sisterly bond remained firm, why didn't they at least mention her passing away? You know kill the character because the actress died. They don't always do that, but in this case the character was minor and not even portrayed on the show anymore. They should have acknowledged her passing in some way; you know have Leslie make an appearance to tell Nicholas, Lucky and Lulu that she passed away.

Yes, General Hospital did a two minute stint at the end of the show displaying IN MEMORIAM. I agree that was nice. I just think it would have been more of a tribute to work it into the story line. Or did I miss the show that day? It is possible. I could have not been watching when it was announced. I hope that is the case. Otherwise, shame on you GH producers and writers.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

2008-02-26T23:04:00.000-08:00

This was another day in Port Charles. A lot of the same thing:

Sonny Corinthos wants to kill the entire Zacara family.
Jason Morgan tries to be the calming voice for everyone.

Damien Spinelli has twenty-four hours to hand over all evidence against Logan to Lucky or have his computer subpoenaed by the Police.
Elizabeth Spencer is growing more concerned she is the one who hit Sam.
Diego Alcazar moves Sam to a new location and prepares a bomb.

My questions are:
Who is this waitress clinging to Ric?
Who is this woman that reserved Kelly's diner?
Who is ordering Jerry Jax around?
When will Patrick and Robin work it out, or end it once and for all?
Who is this Olivia that Kate mentioned?
Who are Spinelli's parents?
What happened to Brenda Barrett?
Why didn't Coop's family relation become revealed?

aaawwww more for another day.........

A Bicentennial Tidbit

2008-02-24T21:29:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I was flipping through the movie channels. I came across Bicentennial Man. You remember the movie where Robin Williams portrays a robot.

When I flipped in the family was sitting at the dinner table and the Bicentennial Man was standing nearby. The family consisted of Father, Mother and two daughters. The eldest daughter has a mouth on her. She is hostile and acting out. Her attitude is confirmed when she makes the Bicentennial Man jump out the window.

I rushed over to IMDB to look up and confirm my suspicions. I was right. The eldest daughter is Lindzie Letherman, our beloved and missed Georgie Jones.

Diego is back!

2008-02-23T21:49:00.000-08:00

I heard the chatter that many fans thought the text message killer was Diego. We found out Friday, they were right!

Since Sam has told Lucky that she might just go on a cruise, she could vanish without anyone looking for her. We've seen this storyline before. Diego could torture Sam for as long as he wishes. I'm thinking he feels like he deserves some payback for her trying to kill him.

Diego being the text message killer explains why Kristina freaked out when she saw a shadowy figure outside the house. After all, she did she Diego get killed!

There are so many unanswered questions. I completely understand why Diego would hate Sam and even want to target her family. It makes sense he would go after Sonny and clan after they killed his father. But Georgie?

Diego really cared for Georgie. It doesn't make any sense that he would kill her. Let's say that she went to confront him. Obviously, he is alive and so she needs to tell the world. I guess he couldn't have that happen. It just seems so wrong that he killed, of all people, Georgie. Or did he?

Diego as the text message killer leaves us with the unanswered question why Coop's DNA was a match. I'm thinking Coop didn't kill himself, as suspected by Maxie. The DNA match is odd.

Here is something else to consider -- Jerry Jax has been taking orders, from what appeared to be a younger tattooed guy. Could it be Diego?
