Lorenzo @ soapcentral.com

I know I just wrote about how fed up I am with this whole Karpov storyline (and don't get me started on Sonny being all "Drugs! OMG!!! We may be mobsters who shoot people but DRUGS ARE TEH EVOL!!!!111"). I believe I said something along the lines of, "The only mobster I want to see coming to Port Charles is Lorenzo Alcazar returning from the dead."

 

And now there's the news that there's yet another mobster joining the show, and no, sadly, Ted King is not coming back. It's Vincent Pastore of the Sopranos! I'd say someone shoot me now, except with the current mob climate on GH, somebody just might take me up on that offer.

 

As if the "My Something" commercial wasn't annoying enough, now we're going to have to see this guy on a regular basis? *headdesk*

 

Oh, Bob Guza. If I wanted to watch the Sopranos, I'd rent the DVDs. How out of touch with your audience can you get? Oh, yeah, more mobsters and less Genie Francis (A few weeks of Laura is not enough!!!), that's what the viewers want... Grrr.

 

The only bright side to any of this is that Pastore is playing Max and Milo's father, which I can only hope means more screentime for Max.

It's been over a month since I last wrote in this blog. I'm a horrible blogger/diarist, I know, but what can I say? Things have been hectic around here! (Either that or I just get incredibly lazy during summer, you take your pick.) Anywho, a little General Hospital chat.

 

So what's up with this Russian dude, Karpov? I mean, I know Bob Guza is in love with the mob, but aren't Jason, Sonny, and the Zaccharas enough mobsters? Right now it's like 1 in every 3 Port Charles citizens is a member of the mob. Seriously, the last thing we need is another freaking mobster. The only way I would possibly be interested in another mobster coming to town would be if Lorenzo Alcazar were to come back from the dead.

 

But I guess there could be a silver lining to this Karpov business, if a) it causes Jason to realize (as it seems he is beginning to) that Sonny is no longer the man he considered a brother/father, and b) it makes Kate realize that Sonny has indeed gone back to the mob lifestyle and is not the saint she thinks he is. Which would, hopefully, cause Kate to get over her endless love for Sonny and mob apologizing and go back to the sassy, kick ass business woman she started out as.

 

I mean, really, right now I'm so sick of Kate that it's hard to remember that I ever actually liked her, but I know I did. She was new and smart and independent and had great hair... oh, how things have changed. Seriously, could she be any more naive about Sonny? She's so naive that she waltzes right past naivete and lands straight in the realm of stupidity. I mean, first she doesn't think anything of coming home to find Sonny meeting with some strange, thuggish Russian dude. And then she thinks Jason is trying to convince Sonny to come back to the mob and believes Sonny when he says that Jason is turning against him? Give me a break. If I have to listen to lines like this:

 

Sonny: Because he -- I -- Jason doesn't know me as well as i thought he did. He doesn't -- he doesn't know how I think anymore or how I -- how I do things.

Kate: It sounds like he hurt you somehow.

Sonny: He's under a lot of pressure, and he jumped -- he's jumping to conclusions. He thought that... He thinks that i undermine him.

Kate: But you wouldn't do that.

Sonny: No, I wouldn't do that. Thank God that somebody realizes that.

 

Oh, yes, thank God you have Kate, Sonny! She's the only one who understands what a saint you are. As I said to my mother (my GH watching companion), "I know you don't like Carly as much as I do..." (I am an unapologetic Carly fan, while my mom thinks she's stupid most of the time) "...but, for all her faults, she doesn't take any of Sonny's shit. Not only would she have suspected he was back in the business as soon as she saw him meeting with Karpov, she'd have some foolish plan to spy on Karpov in place by now."

 

Speaking of Carly, I will probably discuss the (possible) demise of Carly and Jax's marriage in a later post. Right now I have to go watch today's episode of GH! More later.

right, heres my little rant and rave about last week's gh -

LOVED spinelli all week, especially his little bit with jase's leather jacket!!!!!! how cute was that?!?!?! heheheh

im absolutely HATING skye as a gangeter's moll-SO not buying it! she's no carly and she never will be! not now that the Blaze i used to love is obviously well and truly buried :( i miss her being feisty and fiery :(
every scene i see with lorenzo is breakin my heart knowing that he's about to up sticks and leave me!!!! :( *sniff* loving the lila rae scenes with him tho, so sweet yet heartbreaking :(

Everyday Heroes-believing in it less and less, just seems like a stupid way to carry on sam's 'heroic' life to be honest, enjoyed it at the start, now...not so much! shes still spider sam in my book! hehehe!
i dont like how theyre blatantly making sam into a girl that she never would be....EVER. The paparazzi would SO not be THAT bothered ab sam, SURELY thers a REAL celebrity running around PC???? or manhattan???
sheesh!
i think its nonsensical, unbelievable and stupid! i really love sam, but i dont think theres any way that she would treat jason the way she is at the moment. its just a ploy to let the audience see jason as the victim who is (most probably) going to run and seek solace in the arms of the loving and heavily pregnant liz.
also, kelly monaco's boobs have got more airtime lately than most of the cast!!!!!!!!! shes a stunning, beautiful woman, and my GOD if i was a guy.....HELL YES, but i think that theyre exploiting her ummmmmm bountiful assets to the max with all these photoshoots and things...not liking how slutty theyre making sam! really dont!
i mean, sure, shes got big boobs, but...so hav i! i dont need to be shot from above with the nation looking down my top!!!! just annoys me! the other ladies on GH are more tasetfully dressed and look elegant and lovely, i love sam in her evening gowns, or her jeans! not dressed up like a prostitute(apart from when she pretended to be one - remember that?!?!? that was really funny!!!!!!!) as well, ive started to hate the way liz is leading lucky on, the more and more i see him happy, the less and less im liking liz and the liason s/l and baby

maxie is STILL making me throw up every time i see her smug little face on screen!i just cant forgive her for last summer, i know theres a lot of lovers out there, again, dont know why, but i still cant stand the girl
logan reminds me of a less attractive scott caan - just noticed that!!!!!!!!!

i love dylan cash playing silly little michael, i think hes doing off really well!!!!!!!!! and little morgan is just such a brilliant little actor isnt he??? great casting and i love their little interactions :) i used to be such a huge fan of carly and jax, but im really not buying it anymore, not after he carly and sonny marriage it made me realise that her heart will never truly be apart from sonny, and i LOVED, i mean, ADORED, carly and sonny with tams braun,
but i cant really get into it with laura, not yet anyway. i liked it during the hostage shootout, but even I am finding it tedious watching to be honest. just be a married couple, or dont be....im past caring to be honest!
amelia......god! what a harsh, brash, vile woman! i dont think theres any place for her in PC at the moment, or
anytime for that matter. faith roscoe she AINT even tho i think the writers trying their very hardest to do so! when faith died, so did the possibility of a great femme fatale in PC i dont think that they will ever replace cynthia preston, she was amazing and the writing for faith was terrific....such a waste!

ive heard today that scott clifton (dillon) might be leaving and  to be honest, i dont blame him. ive moaned ab the direction theyve written dillon in on the SOC boards for ages now, i LOVED the old dillon he was passionate about both film and georgie. i miss that guy, he had direction, attitude, comedy and a fantastic personality.
now ..... nada...absolutely nothing at all. i cant see him and lulu together in the long run, yeah, sure, they
would be a great luke/laura mirror image, but id prefer them to be step siblings and keep it that way, im all for spinelli and lulu, but then, im biased! i dont want her ruined! please dont ruin lulu!!!!!

the shootout - what was going on with cooper and logan?!??!?! acting like they were sonny and jason....HELL NO guys, im sorry, i know that there is a LOT of love going round for the boys lately, (cant imagine why), but im so not feeling them at all!!!!!!!!! i just thought that was totally and utterfly contrived and pathetic...them nodding at each other...o PURLEEEEEEESE that was awful!!!!!!!!! 
hehehehehehe

u kno, tis i had this blog, i didnt realise how opinionated i was ab gh! i thought i just loved all of it...but hang on....i really dont! i love to hate the things ive talked ab tho! hope some of u can give me food for thought and rant and  rave along with me! :) little bit of rude comedy on fri's episode tho, when laura wright sed "from this point on, you come first. its about itme dont u think", did anyone else notice ingo's little cheeky smile?!??!? or was it just my dirrty mind!?!??! hehehehehe ;)

btw, anyone like my header picture/!?!??! i put myself into the
credits!!!!!!!! heheheh always wanted to do it! :D hehehehe

just my two cents for last week :)
