Rants
and Rambles by Kathy
As
you might guess, I love my 38 minutes of General Hospital fantasy and fiction.
For me, it is the best book with the greatest characters that I never
have to finish reading.
So I’m hooked.
I also seem to be hooked on Eye On Soaps.
Katrina, Sage, and Sherry have become my GH e-mail buddies when I have a
need to spew my comments and observations.
They just build up inside until I have to let them out somewhere.
Katrina suggested that I try a muse column and this is my first attempt.
This need to share seems to overcome me weekly and I guess it's that time
again. Hopefully, here at Eye On Soaps I can share my comments and still
be considered sane in the real world.
Please be gentle with me, and if you can’t be gentle, at least talk
nice. Here
goes…
Didn't
Carly look good in that bathing suit? I want to look like that in my
bathing suit. The scenes between Sonny and Carly on the island were great
– intense, emotional, real.
My one off beat thought was TB needs to work on her crying technique.
SB could cry at the drop of a hat, gently soaking up the tears with a napkin,
never smudging her makeup.
And, she looked good doing it.
Carly
had a moment. Did you catch it? She politely said thank you more
than once to Alexis at the police station for part of an episode. I waited
for the rude comment, expected it, but she pulled it off. She did drop the
you-should-tell-Sonny-about-the-baby bomb to Alexis, but hey, she wasn't
rude.
Poor
Alexis gets no privacy. First, Carly steals her file at the doctor's
office and reads it. Ned announces to the police station that she's
pregnant. Jason reads the papers in her briefcase and tells Sonny.
Kristina tells on Ned to the Q’s that Ned cheated on her and impregnated her
sister. (This
makes Edward and Lila very happy.
Probably, they are relieved that it’s someone else’s illegitimate
child.) In
the police station again, Sonny announces to Nicholas that Alexis is pregnant.
(Sonny did call Nicholas an idiot, which I enjoyed.)
To top it off, Kristina reads the burned letter and is now intent on
telling Sonny. Has Alexis told anyone?
I
loved when Kristina pushed into the penthouse right past Carly and proceeded to
announce the Sonny-knocked-up-Alexis news. She just plopped her red
headed, fen-shui butt right down and said she wasn’t leaving.
This was poetic justice at its best, since usually Carly pulls this move
on her targets.
It dawned on me that these two characters are amazingly similar.
Both have no thought of consequences. Both seem unable to learn from past
mistakes. Both speak without thinking and cannot be trusted with any
private information. Both could care less if they are not wanted when they
are on a mission. Isn't there medication for curbing destructive,
impulsive behavior? Ritalin for tattletales? This is General
Hospital. Maybe they should explore this topic.
Don't
shoot me, but I didn't know Rick back in the days so I don't have any
expectations of him. I see a man who lurks in the hospital hallways,
listening to conversations. Maybe he's hiding from Alan. The
Geriatric Romeo doesn't want to tussle with the chest thumping paranoid Chief of
Staff over the slightly used blond who would love nothing better.
Rick
and Scotty looked good in their jeans digging in the Scorpio backyard.
Wish they had more casual scenes and not so many suits. Did anyone else
think it odd that two men could show up in Felicia’s backyard digging big
holes and no one noticed?
Flea, the private detective, is so busy detecting Roy that she’s not
concerned about arson in her garage attic, grave size holes in her backyard, or
her bratty daughter.
I loved the dog stealing the skull. Maybe it was my mood but that
just cracked me up.
What
a relief to see Elton today. I was afraid that he’d been cast away with
Big Alice and Rosie the puppy.
He must be one busy guy running Laura's company and planning her wedding.
I'll bet he even does her dress fittings since she and Luke appear totally
uninvolved in the event.
Would the alien who invaded Luke’s character please leave the building?
Supportive, loving, I like; but the man hasn’t visited his club, fired
Claude, or insulted anyone in weeks.
How
did Zander get into Sonny's warehouse? Just said, "Oh, by the
way, I'm your new Orkin man," and they let him in? Then he breaks
into Jason's penthouse. When he started writing my thought was, "Oh,
good, he found Emily's address." Plus, he stole the ugly leather
jacket with red lining. No guards again. Where's Johnny?
Penthouse security is getting lax.
Somebody
needs to yank Liz's chain. "I chose you, Zander."
"Please beg me to stay, Jason." I know, I know, she really
didn’t say that, but that’s what I think she meant.
I hate wishy-washy!
Sage says Jason and Liz will be pretzeling soon but I just can’t invest
in them. Liz’s
character changes daily and I believe it’s the effect of now having a mansoap
as Sage calls it.
I like Liz and Zander but the whole freaking out in the stairwell to sex
on the couch moments later is a man thing.
Guys just wish women reacted that way.
Remember, this is the Liz who told Jason they couldn’t make love just
because she was angry at Lucky.
When they have sex, it has to be something special.
That’s why Jason had to move into the penthouse.
He wouldn’t fit on the couch.
Pool table in the dining area, do you think Carly ordered it for him?
Alcazar
intrigues me. I'm speculating that he has ties to Helena.
Stefan kept cutting off her funds but she always seemed to have money.
Illegal arms dealing would be right up her alley. Can't wait for Sonny and
Jax to see Brenda-Diane. Will they be standing on the pier, looking out on
the water, reminiscing (music playing) and she appears on Alcazar’s arm?
Will Sonny and Jax be dining out with their respective elbow attachments
when she walks in?
This could be really good.
Don't
you wish we could have seen AJ learning to drive a forklift? I want
to see Courtney actually dance. I like Wynona, pretty and spunky.
Hopefully, she’s a keeper.
How come Sonny doesn’t know what his sister is doing?
Just
