Jonny in bed with Connie?Kate because he HAS TO?

Realizing TPTB wanted an artifice to get Johnny/Connie?Kate in bed and Sonny/Carly back together (again? WHY? ugh!) I just still think it makes Johnny look weak and he has come so far (up until the organ donor thing). I really hoped that Sonny was setting him up for that one but I don’t think Johnny is ‘the mobster with a heart of gold’, despite BB and his sweet/sizzling demeanor. I think Johnny IS a Zaccharra. Sigh


There were two parts I liked about Johnny sleeping with C?K.
1) When Sonny was railing at them and C?K was sitting in the bed so quietly, but we could watch the emotions run across her face. I felt like I was watching Connie let Kate have a peek, then take control, the let Kate have a peek, over and over. It was magnificent. Maybe I’m reading WAY too much into it, but that is what I saw and for me it was golden.
2) “Shut Up Connie”.
The horror on Johnny and C?K’s face and the confusion on Carly’s was worth Sonny missing them and shooting the wall.

I don’t understand why half the time Sonny waves that gun around and says “I’ll Kill You!” but doesn’t. Dang it Sonny, shoot someone or put up the gun. You look like a fool waving it around.
Could Johnny have made a better choice? Yes
Should he have for his own personal salvation? Yes
Would that have made for a better storyline?
Well, if he took off, and Sonny showed up and found C?K sitting in Johnny’s trashed apartment with her clothes ostensibly torn and sobbing on cue Sonny would go after him.
IF Johnny called Sonny AND Ewen on conference call and maybe 911 and said ‘there is a crazy woman trashing my apartment” then maybe he’d have a chance, but only because Ewen was involved.
Now we see Ewen on a stretcher and he’s the only one that knows anything about C?K besides Johnny except for Jason, Matt, and Spinelli’s suspicions. Oopsie. Someone needs to put a call in to Shadybrook!

Jax is back!

We (DH and I) figured it was Jax's 'rippling abs' that Elizabeth has been fantasizing about and laughed about Jax living on Spoon Island because heaven forbid Jax actually "GO" somewhere with that nice big boat and access to fortunes. This way he can skulk around Windemere and Port Charles and turn up just in time to see Carly fall into bed with Shawn.

Of course, since Lucky is soon to be departed perhaps Elizabeth's fantasy will turn to reality since I think this is a unique pairing for the duo? Elizabeth and Jax.. They would make pretty babies together and it would annoy Carly and perhaps even the stalwart Jason.

I wonder if the 'real GH' will be as intriguing as the possibilities?
sigh.

Welcome Back Ingo!

an important death on GH - who do you think it is?

"A few old characters (who have probably been recast) will be returning due to an important death." My mind goes to Ned, Dylan, and Lois returning...
And my mind goes to Edward.

I hope it isn't Edward. Well, I hope it isn't anyone important, but then again then it wouldn't be important, would it? It's bad enough they are going to paralyze Kristina. First Michael in a coma, now Kristina is paralyzed. I can't imagine what the future will be for Molly and Morgan or Joss (and this so soon after Jake was killed). Kids are always the biggest targets on GH.

I think I read last year that John Ingle wanted to retire but oh I love Edward, and the Qs. Skye's repeated request/demand 'don't hurt Edward' directed to Anthony has been prickling the hairs on my arms.

John Ingle is 83 - 2 years younger than my dad. If he's ready for a break, he deserves it. He is a wonderful actor, and one of my favorites. But selfishly, I hope to see him for much, much longer.

(And maybe I'm wrong. It could be Sonny or Carly or Lucky or anyone for that matter. This is just where I went...)

GH - STILL at the Hospital!

At least it all is happening AT THE HOSPITAL!

Fans have been clamoring for years that nothing happens at the hospital.. now, almost everything is.

I'm just waiting for the trail of icing to start piping out of one of the operating room machines with Spinelli fast on its trail, covered in gook, as Matt and Patrick are arguing over who is going to make the first cut for the autopsy on the body of Siobahn, because, you know, they do ALL med procedures now.

j/k

I'm not really complaining. The pace has picked up. We always check the DVR date now and wonder if we missed a show? Things are moving along and not hanging on the same storyline for days and weeks and months. (although this could be a budget thing, especially if GH is in fact doomed, and this way they can get more story complete and out before 'The End')

So, is it great? nah, but it's more interesting, and I don't yell at the TV as much as I used to, which, in effect, makes it great. I don't expect instant 'anything'.

As far as why Elizabeth was assigned to Siobahn? Well the only nurses are Elizabeth and Epiphany. I just thought that Elizabeth was on 'desk duty' and hadn't been reinstated to patient care yet, so I'm not sure if she 'should' be checking in on Siobahn, or if she just was doing it because she is 'nosy Lizzy'.

As far as Anthony having free run of the hospital - he has at least one guy that we know of there on his payroll who could have been his watch, who knows how many others keep eye.

Do you know what bothered me the MOST about yesterday?? That crazy Anthony would even say he noticed/cared about Liz/Lucky and getting them 'back together'. Puhleeze. Like any mobster/bad guy would care about the love lives of his victims. (oh wait, Franco).

Never mind, this is GH/Port Charles (or as Luke says, Port Chuckles, so if it doesn't make sense, laugh!)

Best line though?? "I'll kill him one pill at a time"
That gave me the shivers.

Blazin' GH write up on News Blaze!

http://newsblaze.com/story/20110819094821zzzz.nb/topstory.html

he's back!

I'd love for Franco to show up with little Jake under his arm, all twisted smiles and lure Jason away from his vows. Of course, Jason would run after Franco in a heartbeat. Would it really be Jake or a lookalike? That would be such a cruel twist? I know I pushed the "Franco switched the body" storyline a lot when Jake was first hit, but now I wonder wouldn't it be even MORE painful for the audience and Jason if we thought it was Jake and it wasn't. Sigh. I do love a BIG drama!

Still, I'm giving GW (Garin Wolf, new head writer) a little slack if all that happens is Franco waves another murder in Jason's face because he (GW) was left with a bunch of dangling participles, so to speak, and he's got to clean everything up, re-sort, and make things interesting again with a much wider canvas. It's a big job and I'm glad he's opted in for the challenge.

I'm not expecting an overnight miracle but by Jan I'd expect things to be really humming along. That's more than enough time to clean up the old storylines and start anew.

So ... I'm being patiently entertained for now :)
and optimistic!

back in the hospital... with GH!

GH is getting GREAT again!
Monica and Edward together? With Sam? and they all stand up for themselves against Carly? Amazing!

I couldn’t stand the overdose of Dante with Lulu but I love Dante standing up to Sonny, and I love Dante helping Elizabeth. There’s still so much silliness of Lucky and the one dry match, where did the dog go, what crazy timeline is Jax/Joss/Sonny/Shawn on but it’s better. So much so.

We have even been treated to Skye and Mac and Bob the Badger!

I hate Jason having another brain surgery/coma, and the ensuing change (because I have loved the ‘new Jason' that we’ve been treated to this past year, the softer Jason yet still with a steely edge). And yes, with Patrick digging around in his frontal lobe with his ego driving the charge you can only wonder what will happen to Jason's poor, abused brain; but ultimately I’m not complaining about ‘the show’.

GH is interesting and fun and dark and full of demons again. There is MORE happening at the hospital than anywhere else right now. Sure, Sonny is flailing his gun around but that has less to do with ‘the mob’ and more to do with him being mad at Jax and off his meds. Any man with anger issues could go that route, if you don’t believe me look at the news.

So, bravo to Garin Wolf for taking a show that had been stuck on repeat and et al for so long and stirring the mud. Sure, in the guise of ‘they’ll come back’ along with the beloved faces of characters we’ve missed I’m sure we’ll see a resurgence of familiar storyline but thus far they seem to be treated with a breath of fresh air.
