Another
General Hospital Column Sometimes I sit at this computer and I think, “Gee, I really want to write a column” but it just doesn’t come out. I type and type and type and then when I re-read what I’ve written I see a bunch of words squished together in the form of some really lousy sentences. Then I look at Jen, Sherry, Dana and the Infamous Kathy’s columns and I think “I wish I could write like that!” and I sulk, call them names in fits of jealous rage and leave my computer pouting. A perfectionist at heart, I can’t help but want to be better than all of them. When I’m not, I pout. When I’m hot, I gloat. Can you just see the maturity oozing out of my skin right now? All last week and what’s passed of this week so far, I’ve wanted to write something witty and funny and absolutely wonderful. But the kids, the dog, the neighbors kids and the neighbors dogs all had issues to deal with, taking up my time and energy. I’m so beat I even went to Starbucks and got a caffeinated drink. Darn it! But, in my defense, that is the only reason I’m sitting at this PC typing this column right now. A caffeine induced column. Should be interesting to see how this one turns out! Have you been watching? I have. I’ve been really into the “Carly in a coma having dreams about dorky Lorenzo with the bad hair as her husband” scenes. I love the twist to them and I loved seeing a bit of Ted Kings’ chest, which I haven’t seen since the first season of Charmed (except for the brief showing in Sex in the City a few months back!) I just wish they’d do something to that bad looking toupee on his head! Okay, I know it’s not really a toupee, but I’d rather think that than know that his gorgeous hair could perform so terribly! It’s nice to see, even if in a dream, Sonny chasing Carly for a change. I’m hopeful that once out of her coma Carly takes quite a while to realize she doesn’t love Alcazar but really Sonny. Months. Years maybe. How great it would be to see her with Alcazar (with his good hair that is) and Sonny being the one that’s trying to win her over! Like Kathy says, he needs to be the chaser, the one to have to win her back for a change. She’s proven over and over (and over) her loyalty, devotion and love to and for this guy and his response has been nothing better than dumping on her consistently. Do I think she’ll end up with Alcazar in the end? Come on, I’m a dreamer but I ain’t stupid! According to all those polls where the apparent Sonny and Carly fans come out of hiding to vote in, they’re number one. ABC and its staff won’t ‘fix it if it ain’t broke’, so I don’t expect any long term relationship for the couple with the real chemistry. With that being said, I can’t quite figure out who I’d like to see Alcazar end up with, except maybe Skye because Robin Christopher has chemistry with anyone and anything. I’d say Faith but as much as I like her, she’s just too wacko. I would fear for Alcazar’s private part (you know, the thing that looks bigger when he shaves!J). She might get mad at him and go all Lorena Bobbitt. That would practically destroy Ted King for me. And likely too for that fiancé he mentioned (much to my chagrin) on Soap Talk the other day. I’m still crawling out of my serious depression over that revelation! I’m glad that Emily finally gave Zander the boot. Not because I didn’t like them as a couple (though they were a bit flat to me) but because it’s about time Zander gets on with his life and gets rid of the girl that treats him like ca-ca. Katrina pegged it when she gave him a set of kahuna’s for Christmas. However, since Liz took a ride on the wild pony this week I’m sure his kahuna’s aren’t gonna be blue! Do I want to see him go down the road of Faith and revenge? Not really. I’d like to see him find love where he least expects it, but apparently Gia has left the canvas so I don’t’ see much love happening for Zander any time soon. Besides, he’s going to be mighty busy fighting Ric and taking care of his baby here once sweeps kick in. That will be an interesting story. I like Zander and Liz together. They’re real, honest and have a mutual respect for each other. Maybe something will come from that. We know we’re not getting Liz and Jason and frankly, no matter how amazing Ric looks in a suit, slime is slime and I’m just not finding him redeemable quite yet. More suits might do it, but it’s unlikely. I have to admit though, I found Rick Hearst to be quite charming at the fan event and had I had any quality time with him, I might just like his character. Just because the real “Rick” was so darn cute! I liked his answer to a fan’s question, “How do you justify Ric’s actions?” His reply, “Um, with a pay check!” Go Hearst! Oh, sorry, I went off on a tangent. I do that when I think about cute men. Can’t help it! I saw a spoiler somewhere (either Wubs, General Hospital Happenings or General Hospital for Fans, I’m not sure, so I’ll give them all credit) about Faith and Ric and you know something, I like them together. If they could get their egos out of it all, they might actually be able to run PC and wouldn’t that be a hoot to watch! I love Faith. I love to hate her, yet I admire her for the size of her kahunas (no, no, no, not HER kahuna’s! I’m not being literal with her here!) Frankly, she’s the only female on the show who’s got any! I recently read a letter written by a fan in one of the soap mags about Jax and Sam and how great they are together; their chemistry obvious, their scenes funny. After I blinked repeatedly, shook the confusion out of my head and took the blank look off my face I realized I must be taking bathroom breaks during all that because I’m just not seeing it at all. It’s flat, boring and borderline stupid. Did you see Jax grab Sam’s butt when he rescued her from sex with Chase? That was the funniest thing between them yet, the butt grabbing. Actually, that’s been the best part of Jax coming back so far. Their relationship is so bland. They have no chemistry and Kathy’s right; get the hand off the back of the head Sam! I’m still having a hard time believing that Scotty can’t see the resemblance between Livvie and Sam. We have many soap characters traveling from ABC soap to ABC soap, so to give us Sam in the same town as Livvie lived in is a bit hard to swallow for me. Maybe she should just get a new boat and float away. I wouldn’t be too unhappy with that! I sure wish Lucky would get a life and do something with it for a change. Lucky as a cop would have been fun if he weren’t out solely to arrest Luke and if he didn’t tolerate the trash talk comments Scotty makes in reference to him and his father. Way to show Laura respect there Scott. I’m almost embarrassed for the wonderful Kin Shriner and what they’ve done to his character. These bits and pieces of older, long time actors like Bobbie and Alan and Monica tossed into the shows here and there is just plain rude to those of us who knew them when. Give me something fun with Monica and Alan! They have great comedic abilities and with all the drama going on on GH, a bit of lightheartedness, other than Dillon and Luke, would be much appreciated. Speaking of Dillon and Luke, give me more of them and also Dillon and Alcazar. Just give me more Dillon. Love that kid. I even love the hair! He’ll go far. Too bad he’ll end up leaving GH soon to pursue bigger and better. It’s bound to happen. Think Jacob Young. Oh, wait. This guy actually has talent and will go far. Sorry, my mistake. Think Jonathan Jackson. Yeah, that’s what I meant. The real Lucky! What’s going to happen with Ned now that his storyline is done? Is he considered old? Will he be canned or actually get another storyline? Will he read in the mags that he’s been let go, totally unaware of his status? I think there needs to be a way to bring Nexis back together again. Perhaps something with the baby, since he and Skye got no where? I just wish ABC would let ME write the soaps for a change! I’d have a blast! Jason and Elizabeth raising Zander’s baby, Emily being dumped by Nikolas because she took so darn long to decide, Sonny chasing after Carly or perhaps even falling for Faith! Ric and Courtney (it would have been AJ but Billy Warlock’s hopefully moving on to bigger and better!)…I’ve got all kinds of ideas! Tracy’s coming back. I’m excited, but then again, I was excited when Rick Webber and Stefan came back. You know how those turned out. See ya Tracy. It’s been nice knowin’ ya! I thought I might like Brian, the cop that is going to kiss Courtney? But something about his face is wrong. I can’t put my finger on it but it’s wrong and it’s just giving me the willies. Darn, what a waste of potential eye candy. Where’s Maxie and Kyle? Well folks, that’s it for today. My caffeine buzz has worn off and I’m ready to hit the sheets (it’s only 8pm) but Ed is on and I’ve just gotta watch! Have a great week!
