Who Got Stabbed? Who Got Kissed?

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?

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

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:

April - May 08 update

Best Regards,
GH TALK

Pushing the envelope

• 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.

• 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

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.

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.
