A
couple scenes really gripped me this week.
They weren’t big emotional scenes, just honest.
Leslie visited the hospital remembering her ex-husband Rick and talked to
Tony. She was so, so…emotionally
healthy, honest, upfront. It was nice to see a dramatic scene based on emotions that
really unfold in life. When Alan
spoke with Monica, also at the hospital, regarding his conflicted feelings about
Edward, I cringed with him over his self-inflicted guilt for his honest anger
towards a horrible, hateful, but fiercely loving father.
Very well done and not over done.
Those
scenes finally clarified what bothered me about the conflict between Skye,
Edward, Jax and now Ned. The
emotions and threats are wrong. Skye
changed. She doesn’t covet ELQ or
Edward’s sole heir bait so therefore; the contract has no hold on her and she
is no threat to ELQ. Other than
telling Jax her little moment of untrust big deal about the contract.
Seems like Ned is beating a dead horse.
I know it’s a set up so Jax can do the I’m-so-betrayed poor pitiful
me tap dance but the flow is off even though the acting catches me.
I hate that Skye fell off the wagon.
It was bound to happen, it’s a soap after all, but it’s hard to see a
person fight that battle and lose.
Is
anyone going to call Emily and tell her about Edward? I would so love if she returned and reconnected with Zander.
I’m beginning not to like him. The
guy just ain’t got no sense! He’s
antagonistic towards everyone and no scruples in sight.
With Emily he managed antagonistic one moment and then kind and tender
the next. Maybe two head knocks in
a week will straighten him out. What
a crack up when he didn’t recognize Liz.
Word has it that he’ll end up in the penthouse with Jason and Liz.
If that happens, I’m there - ready to watch, ready to laugh.
Rumor has it that Jason
will ask Liz to move into the penthouse soon so that he can protect her.
That way we can sweat the longing looks, barely constrained passion,
brushing past each other in a towel to and from a shower.
Maybe Liz can practice interior decorating for Jason.
The writers want us to invest in this couple.
They want to create a build up so when the big, lose control, can’t
help themselves, fall in the bed sex thing happens we won’t notice their
subplot. The subplot involves Carly
and Liz. Since Alexis moved, Carly
doesn’t have anyone to fight with at the elevator.
When was the last time you saw her stabbing at the down button?
Exactly. We don’t see it
and that is because she has no one to antagonize getting on or off the elevator.
THAT’S where the writers are taking us.
Jason and Liz in the penthouse together are just a ploy to distract us
while they set up the Carly and Liz elevator catfights.
Since when do Jason and
Liz have a “spot”? Carly called
Jason for Liz and told him that Liz would be waiting at their “spot”.
Seems a lot like “the bridge” which he shared with Robin.
Has Lookout Point been mentioned before a week or so ago and I missed it?
It’s hard to invest in the romance when my eyes are rolling.
Inconspicuous:
Not noticeable, unremarkable, ordinary.
Sonny sent Jason to watchdog Courtney and told him to be inconspicuous.
Lasted about 60 seconds before he jumped on stage to save her from the
bully. I did enjoy the scene.
Coleman changed from low life to lower life.
Jason performed one of his no answer responses from his repertoire of no
responses. Courtney and the pole seemed more at ease with each other.
The first time she danced it looked like a contest and the pole was
winning. Soon, AJ will see his oh
so innocent wife strutting her alternate personality Daisy stuff for money.
And don’t tell me she’s not enjoying because Sonny offered a way out
both financially or by destroying Coleman.
No go. Her
I-can’t-trust-Sonny litany seems a bit ridiculous considering he hasn’t
actually done anything to AJ. Yet.
I
can’t help noticing that when Courtney, aka Daisy, performs she has long,
full, luxurious blond tresses. Courtney,
has straight blond hair that falls a bit past her shoulder blades.
Maybe that’s why she dances, for the hair.
For hair like that I’d scoot around a pole on stage in yellow lingerie.
I bet I’d make lots of money because men would throw hundreds my way
just to make me get off the stage. I
can see my interview on the Larry King show.
He’d ask why I chose such a career at my stage in life.
As I casually flip my long luxurious hair over my shoulder I’d reply,
“I just do it for the hair, Larry.” Sorry,
I digress. I’m better now.
I
have reached a point when I’d like a break from Sonny and Carly.
They’ve fought, broke up, reconnected, rewed (three times), etc.
A little vacation time from the constant sneak, plot, lie, fight, cry,
whine, make up, and up, and up would be appreciated.
However, if that break means I have to watch Carly be the little woman
offering sage life advice to Sonny and Jason, never mind, just pass the barf
bag. She probably needs and
deserves a break from performing her Carly the Human Wrecking Ball act but wise
loving Carly turns my stomach.
Did
you catch the Johnny drama on Friday? Johnny
the Guard changed to Johnny the Mailman. I
like Johnny and hate when Sonny treats him badly but I think Johnny messed up.
Michael walked out of the building because he was off getting the mail.
Why couldn’t they have shown Michael sneaking past him while he was
talking to another guard? Johnny
playing mailman when the big, bad Alcazar has Sonny all upset just isn’t
acceptable. Now Michael is missing and of course, AJ found him.
This means we will be treated to hysterical Carly all day on Monday.
Lucky
and Alexis spoke freely in the interrogation room after Alexis assured Lucky
that the rooms weren’t bugged. I’m
confused. Isn’t that the same
room where Sonny and Jason regularly perform their mute tough guy act?
When they are arrested together, they lean close and whisper because they
know that Taggert is drooling somewhere over a listening device trying to hear
an incriminating word. Also, I am
puzzled about Scotty’s position. Is
it District Attorney, Police Chief, or Investigator?
Is he a good guy or a bad guy? Somebody
needs to dust off Dara or Justice and ask them for a job description because
little Scotty seems to be out of control as he steps on toes all around.
When
Nicholas stole the locker key from the evidence box I had to laugh.
Trying to look that innocent just made him look guilty.
I bet he’s sorry now since he’s toting a skull around town in a bag.
Isn’t it odd that the dog took the skull, the dog’s owner turned it
over to the police, the police left it at the hospital (I assume for forensic
reasons), where it disappeared? No
one seems to have missed it or even considered that usually a skeleton is
attached to a dug up head. Probably
the writers just don’t have time to address the details but this stuff bothers
me.
Is
anyone else seeing the Joe Boxer guy doing his Happy Dance for K-Mart on his or
her commercial breaks? I love that
guy.
Apparently
we will be treated to nuLucas soon aged to about 17. How weird is that? Last
I saw he was about eight. I’m
perfectly willing to jump for a storyline when characters are SORAS’d, but
this borders on the silly. 8 to 17
is just too big a jump. And since
Maxie received Lucas’ sister BJ’s heart doesn’t it seem that they are
right next to being related? Not by
blood, but in the way characters have been presented to us.
I’m trying to keep up, but this isn’t going down easily.
If Maxie and Lucas become the teenage story headliners an attraction
between them will take some getting used to.
Comments
are short this week because it seems as though storylines are skating towards
the big events coming up. I’m
betting that Luke and Laura wait in the wings with some amazing scenes.
Soon to be seen, the mighty B with all body parts unveiled.
Alexis’ baby saga will heat up soon.
She’ll either lose it (please, no) or begin to show a pregnant tummy
with a big “C-C” stamped on it for Corinthos-Cassadine.
Sage says we are getting Jason and Liz so maybe we’ll see more than
“I care for you, Jason,” “I’m
too dangerous to be around, Elizabeth,” “Zander
was good to me, Jason,” The Look
from Jason.
Happy
journeying to EOS staff, fans and visitors who will trek to the Mecca of
Ho(l)lywood, home of General Hospital, Soap Extraordinaire.
Have lots of fun and please return safely with many stories to share with
those of us who wish we were basking in fanship with you.
Thank
you for reading. Kathy

If you e-mail me and it doesn’t go through, please try again.
I love the e-mails. My ISP
supposedly is working on the problem.
