Another week of GH...

Sonny - I hate the way he talks to other people. He is such a rude, little jerk. I see very little redeeming value in his character. Since I went on a *huge* Sonny rant last week, I'll spare you this week, but seriously he is not a nice person. He talks down to everyone. I guess they really want to write a mob war and that's why he's being so rude to Claudia? What exactly did she do to him? Yes, she stepped over Kate's body, but he doesn't know that. Based on what he knows, she's 1) The daughter of his rival 2) Slept with him 3) Interested in sleeping with him again 4) A strong, powerful woman (ahh... now I get it) I forgot Sonny likes his women weak and insecure.

 

Kate - Yes, I know Kate was supposed to be strong, no-nonsense, but it seems like Sonny's abusive behavior has beaten that out of her fairly quickly. Too bad she had so much potential and I liked them a lot initially. Plus, (*possible spoiler, although mostly just a guess on my part*) she's probably keeping a secret from him about some child she was pregant with when she ran away. And lord knows, men on this show are all about devotion and undying love until one little bump in the road and then they never forgive their women. Sonny and Carly broke up because of the whole Kristina thing. Will Kate and Sonny break up over the new mysterious "Olivia" thing? Although I've heard rumors that they'll get married K&S, so if that's true she should probably tell him about their love child before then.

Olivia - A new woman around the block of young kids would be nice. There are too many guys and they all seem to be chasing Lulu. Lord knows I love the girl, but give her something else to do besides juggle all the boys. It's stupid and boring. Didn't we already see this? Maybe Olivia would be some good competition. Or maybe a friend? Lulu could use a girl friend her own age.

 

Lulu - You know what I'd really like to see for Lulu? A good old-fashioned adventure a la Luke. Give her a treasure hunt or something. She and Johnny (who I love together and just love Johnny in general) can go off and have a good old fashioned romantic adventure. No stupid mob wars. Just fun and entertaining. Lulu and Johnny love the danger and they could really have fun with a storyline like that.

 

Claudia - I like this girl and I would like to see her develop relationships with her brothers and others around Port Charles. I would like to see her and Lulu on good terms. She has so much potential. If GH makes her one of their weak, whiny women I might just cry.

 

Spinelli/Maxie - I like them together. I like the way their friendship is developing. I don't go on discussion boards too often, so do they have a name yet? Spixie and Maxelli are my favorite ideas for them. It would be great to see somebody actually appreciate the Jackal rather than just use him and get impatient with him when he acts like himself (I'm looking at you Jason and Lulu)

 

Text Message Killer - You know what I'd like to see here? Instead of Jason rushing in to save the day (which he will, poor Lucky can't ever catch a break and play the hero can he?) I would like to see Jason be ineffective and see Sam and Liz put aside their differences, at least for the moment, and band together to save themselves. Both are smart, resourceful girls (except when Jason needs someone to save).
I just wonder about the writers on this show sometimes. Do they they we are incapable of comprehending smart, strong female characters who do not need to be constantly saved?

Have them get into sticky situations? Fine. Just let them figure out how to get themselves out of it without having to be saved by fricking Sonny or Jason.
I like Jason and hate Sonny, but that aside, why are these "mob" characters the only ones allowed to have the occasional victory?

Booooorrrring!

Patrick/Robin - So she's admitted he's the baby daddy. Well that certainly didn't drag out as long or as painfully as I imagined it would. Do you think it has something to do with the writer's strike? Because a lot of these types of secrets have come out and been resolved rather quickly. Well it will be interesting to see how they handle this development. It has some great potential to be a really moving storyline, which means it will only get 1/8th of the screen time that the mob war gets. Oh well, I'll take what I can get I like this storyline.

Another bonus? The skanky and annoying Nurse Leyla seems to have gone off radar lately... maybe she'll be "transferred to County"

 

Nadine/Nik - I like this storyline too. I wish she would stop referencing her dead relatives, but still cute. Nadine has grown on me. She is cute and I like her spunk. I also like that she has always been kind to Spinelli. Potential, potential, potiental... let's see what the writers can do...

 

Kristina - Well now we know why she isn't talking again, right? It was a clue. Clever, clever GH. She saw Diego murdered and stopped talking and then she sees him alive again and stops talking again. Bizarre behavior, but at least now I know why they made such a big deal out of it. Maybe Alexis can teach her sign language and this doesn't have to be such a show stopper for her.

 

Ric - Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Is this even a storyline at all? Marianna is lying to him, but she's got a good heart. Blah. We've only seen this basic storyline about a hundred times over. Remember Liz and Lucky, LAST FRIGGIN YEAR? Geez, GH, allow me to introduce you to someone you seem to have forgotten.

Original idea, this is GH.

GH, this is an original idea.

You two should become MUCH better acquainted.

I think I'm finally running out of steam!

g'night and have a great weekend
