Sigh.
Things were going so well I knew it had to be over soon. And it was over before it began really.
Sonny was almost likeable when he was with Kate, at the beginning.
We saw a softer side, the boy he used to be.
Now, he's back to being the same old abusive bastard that he actually is.
He talks down to Kate the entire time she's trying to explain herself to him. He's rude and abrasive.
I know, I know, fans of Sonny will say that his childhood, blah, blah, blah, poor injured Sonny, blah, blah, blah... basically all the excuses Kate's been spouting lately.
But if Kate wrote a Dear Abby letter describing Sonny's behavior, I can tell you, Abby would tell Kate to smarten up. You are dating a controlling jerk who has a pattern of abusive behavior.
Seriously, I can't stand Sonny. If he's not trashing Kate, or at the other end of the abusive pattern apologizing and showering her with love and saying all the right things, he's snapping at Jason.
So, in the past, Jason has been his best friend and right-hand man. After neglecting the business for months to pursue Kate, Sonny just marches back in and orders Jason around and to kill people with no proof of their guilt. Are we supposed to like Sonny or not? The show wants to portray him as a hero, but guess what, in my world people don't randomly order the deaths of people, especially people who don't happen to be guilty.
Why is Sonny so fixated on Johnny (who I LOVE by the way... hot, hot, hot)? Even though he knows Trevor is pulling the strings, even though he knows that Claudia has been taking charge of things lately, he insists on pulling a gun on Johnny on a regular basis. Part of me just wishes that one of the many people who hate Sonny (Trevor, Rick, Diego.... etc.) would just off Sonny. It would be dramatic and then maybe we could just get rid of this mob shit once and for all.
I watch soaps for drama and romance, but not for the godfather. I watch it in spite of all the mob crap. If it went away I would be thrilled.
Off the subject of the annoying character of Sonny....
I know Carly is preggo, but why did Jax need to apologize for their fight today? Carly puts Jason first before all her other relationships. Why should Jax accept that? He's hot, smart, rich and successful, and yet he's supposed to play second banana for the rest of his life? That's ridiculous. You can love a friend and not put them ahead of your husband. Carly needs to get a grip. Jax deserves better.
The direction of the Lulu-Johnny-Logan triangle concerns me.
Thus far, I have loved Lulu. I have loved her since she started on the show.
I love Johnny, he's shown himself to be good, kind man who only wants the best for Lulu... so of course who know if this means that he will end up with the girl? GH doesn't like it's characters to treat women with respect.
I was initally a fan of Logan. I thought he would make a good match for Lulu, but then he slept with Maxie and I was done with him. There was no good reason for him to sleep with her. He rationalized that he "had to", but he didn't. Yes, Maxie could have told Lulu about their arrangement, but since Lulu had no faith in Maxie, since Logan could honestly say that he hadn't done anything, he would have been fine. But instead he slept with her on such a flimsy excuse, that he had to really want to. Even after Logan was a "changed man" he still is controlling and ass hat-ish to Lulu. He even continues to be mean to Spinelli. So, I turned away from Logan.
Now, Lulu and Johnny have slept together. I love them together. I know it's a soap so no character has an easy path to coupledom, but is Lulu really going to go back and forth between them now? I love her, but she won't sleep with both of them will she? I hope not. Johnny doesn't deserve that. He's damaged, but underneath he seems to have a really sweet soul.
I'm excited Diego is back. Maybe he'll actually kill Sam. That would be fun. I do like Sam with Lucky. When she's not attacking Liz, I don't hate Sam.
On the note of Diego being back... why would he kill Georgie? He had a crush on Georgie. Georgie liked Diego and always gave him the benefit of the doubt. And why Emily? or Leticia?
Sam I understand, she did kill him.
Alexis I understand, mother of the one who killed him and also killed his uncle.
Maxie I understand, she was never very nice to Diego after the whole photo thing.
With Diego having been the villian in two big mysteries... who is taking risque photos of girls and who is strangling girls... he is one sick puppy!
Speaking of sick puppies, I really want to love Jerry Jax. He is so adorable. So good looking. But, I don't want him to use Alexis. Can't he just do his deals somewhere else and find a soft spot for our tough as nails attorney? Redeem him already!
February was sad for GH. Last Feb, we had the metro court crisis (seems like it was a million years ago) and it was exciting tv. I was riveted. This year we have.... nothing. Just business as usual. Boo.
I guess we can't have a train wreck or hotel crisis every sweeps month, but instead we have hypocritical PSAs (GH against gun violence, really? no. really?) and boring PSAs that they later forget about, didn't Ephiphany have a heart attack? Or is she just taking a vacation?
Ok, I feel as though I've vented a little bit. I don't know anybody in real life who watches this show, so sometimes the stuff I think has to go somewhere so I can stop thinking about it.
Thanks... :)
