sexytimes with Luke Spencer

I love Luke and am so happy to see him (and Anthony Geary) on screen.
I prefer the Luke/Tracy love dynamic although I love, love the Luke/Anna friendship. I just don't like the idea of sexytimes with Luke/Anna. I don't know why, but to me it feels awkward and a little forced. However, when Luke and Tracy are being sexy/silly I feel more... I don't know, commitment?

So I ask, why can't Luke and Anna be platonic friends?  I think Luke would be an awesome friend to have. Say you have some things you'd like to fence. Call Luke. Say you need to get a bag of loose diamonds, quickly, call Luke. Need to broker a deal with the local mob? Luke's your man. He is also related to several law enforcement officers even though he dallies on the other side of the tracks. He is at turns haunted and hopeful. He is great at foot rubs, breakfast in bed, prefers the spa and the finer things in life and always has a way to finagle his way around a dollar.

Tracy has plenty of those dollars and seems eager to share if it will get Luke back. Anna was just appointed Police Commissioner and probably should not be having sexytimes with Luke. (which of course means they full speed ahead). I think it seems wrong on many levels, the Robert level, the lies Luke has told her, and of course, the fact that Tracy wants him back.

I wish Jax would come back and sweep Anna off of her feet. THAT would be awesome and also totally stress Carly and Johnny (a relationship whose days are numbered anyway by a little thing called murder and his new partnership with Lulu). This causes friction in all of the right places (and puts Luke right back in Tracy's arms!)

Tail between her legs Carly could find comfort in the arms of Shawn, and all will be right in the world.

Until July.
That's when Blair will leave and Todd and Carly can finally be together!!

nuKrissy - mob princess?

I don't like the new Kristina. It has little to do with the actress and more to do with the attitude although I personally think the other actress (Lexi) played petulant and pouting better and looked more like a Davis (she was small and petite like her sisters and to me her facial features matched Molly's and Sam's much better).

The new Kristina comes across as mean, angry, bullying, and seems to tower above the rest of the clan - she even seems taller than Sonny.

I hope she finds a way to play 'an unhappy Kristina' without driving too deep of a wedge between herself and the audience.

I always loved the character of Kristina, so I hope that this actress finds a rhythm, and that a decent story comes about (right now the storyline is terrible, which again is not her fault). The 'Mob Princess Reality Show' storyline is painful. Why Alexis doesn't throw an injunction down Trey's throat I don't know. Let Kristina threaten to "cut all ties". So what. Cut all money. She will be back. If she is a mob PRINCESS she will be back. Stupid.

I'm giving her (the actress) the benefit of the doubt, and hoping she will learn not to bulldoze her way through every scene.  I remember reading something from Maurice Bernard (Sonny) who said it is better to build a slow simmer than to explode in every scene. Hopefully she will learn a lot from working with him and we will come to love the new Kristina as much as the old.

the rape of Connie

Kelly Sullivan was AMAZING yesterday.
She absolutely blew me away.
I couldn't look, I couldn't not look.
I had tears streaming down my face as she reenacted the entire 17 year old Connie scene culminating in 'the rape of Connie.'

I saw some complaints on Twitter about television using rape as a way to move story along and I agree.. I hate it. GH has done it way too many times, but I will say that regardless of the motives behind the scenes, this storyline makes sense to me (more so than Sam's rape or Micheal's rape) and it was one of the most well acted scenes on daytime. Ever.

I understand why Connie split into Kate. I understand why Kate was tough and cold as ice, she was an exoskeleton put up to preserve and protect.

I understand why the adult Connie was harsh and brash, her job was to strike out and protect what was left, and that was not very much, just the frightened fragment of a 17 year old who had been brutally raped.

the Sam/Jason/McBain triangle is all about guilt

I think McBain feels guilty because he is partly responsible for Sam 'losing her baby'.

If he had stayed out of it, as Anna had warned, then she (Sam) most likely would have been home with Jason and not at the Rendezvous Motel. There is a likelihood that she wouldn't have gone into premature labor because she would not have had extra stress, but if she had Jason would have been more easily able to take her to the hospital or at least get her and the baby there. Plus, if they didn't make it the penthouse is a nice place to give birth.

If it was me, and I was tangled up with a married, pregnant woman, I imagine I'd be overcome with guilt and hightail it back to my own wife and kid. (and not be overly eager to call the husband out on 'sending me a message', no matter how arcane the delivery, or ill timed.). I would probably feel too guilty and responsible to press charges, and feel like I deserved the beat down on many levels.

Of course, Jason is now plagued with guilt because if he'd only accepted the baby sooner Sam would have been safe at home and never have gotten so deeply involved with McBain, nor left. He also has to feel intense remorse for keeping McBain from taking Sam to the hospital.

Sam's guilt will come out in huge, crushing waves.

That she put her baby in danger by being at the Rendezvous Motel instead of at her mom's, or home, or anywhere else. That she left and didn't fight harder to make it work with Jason, to make him love and protect her baby. That she didn't KNOW something would happen.

Well, This is what I would write before the switch is inevitably discovered.

Guilt can make for great character movement and growth. Sam can become stronger, more independent, less reliable on Jason to define her as a person and more like the 'old Sam' we once knew.

Jason could become more compassionate, forgiving and loving, much like he was in the old days with Robin and in brief moments alone with Sam here and there.

McBain could go back to his family. He needs to remember them, go to them; leave. Jesh, if he was my husband I'd be there looking for him by now. Hello, Natalie!

Will Heather Kill GH? She is mad enough to do it!

If GH does end next year, my hubby and I have decided on the perfectly ghoulish way for it to end.

After yesterday's episode, where it seemed that Olivia, Spinelli, Matt, and Dante were all added to Heather's TEA Party list, we decided that Heather is going to become the secret serial killer in Port Charles and start picking off the citizens, one by one, or driving them mad enough that something tragic happens to them (perhaps an understandable suicide, or a convenient car accident???).

At the end, we envision Heather standing victorious over Tony Geary's lifeless body, screaming to the heavens saying "You're mine, you're all mine"

haha
Of course, we'd prefer to see GH reach it's 50th, not see Heather knock off everyone in town etc, but if GH has got to go eventually, it would be better than a big mob war or just canceling the show with lose ends all the way around. Macabre, yes, but tidy.

;)

I love Todd and Heather but enough with the deadbabies on GH

I haven't watched today's ep yet but...
I loved yesterday's episode.

I didn't feel like Todd was the impetus behind the baby switch. I felt like it was all Heather.

I LOVED Heather and Todd, I loved that Heather actually was more 'in control' than Todd and came across as more evil and 'bad'. I also loved how sympathetic Heather was to 'deadbaby' acknowledging that the baby didn't deserve it's circumstance.

If Tea hadn't shown up when she did, If Heather hadn't shown up when she did.. well, I feel like Todd would have given Sam her bigbaby back and told Tea that her baby was dead... no matter how 'afraid' of her anger he actually seems (in a 'I don't want you to hate me for killing your deadbabydaddy kind of way). Todd has layers that actually contain compassion. That always surprises and endears him to me, even when he's being awful.

As far as Jason being a day late and a dollar short. He has been, ever since the entire Franco thing started. Blame 'hewhoshallnotbenamed'. He started it all. Ruined Jason. Built him up and destroyed him. The OLTL writers are just driving a stake into him.

** In no way do I mean offense to any dead baby or person who lost a dead baby. I wish GH would raise the age limit on the people they would kill off to at least high school graduation. I've seen enough children being killed on this soap to last me a lifetime

Where's the body?

I think that Heather thinks she is 'helping Luke' by hiding the body. I think Luke is her obsession so she will do anything for him, no matter how misguided.

She is obviously adept at moving people around as no one noticed her hauling around a drugged Maggie.

So... As I suggested previously McBain is ALL about taking down Sonny via destroying Jason. Now that he has admitted it openly to Jason I am just waiting for the time that he slips up and tells someone (Anna?) that he gave Sam a fake vial of 'Franco" DNA. Or, maybe he will just have a nice long soliloquy on the docks. At any rate, once it comes out that he substituted Jason's blood for Franco's in the DNA sample then hopefully THAT part of the JaSAM journey will be over. However, there will still be the trust issue. Jason will still have issues with Sam over trusting McBain. How did he know for certain that "Teresa is Teresa"? Couldn't Sam be his half sister? Couldn't he have tracked down the wrong girl in Atlantic City and for whatever reason she said 'yes, it's me'. I hope so.

I love Elizabeth. I love her being Jason's 'friend'. I liked how Jason and Sam fit as people.

It has nothing to do with 'couple fans' or anything because frankly the couple fans on twitter are a rather virulent bunch.  I just like how certain people 'click' and fit like I imagine a 'real couple' would.
