General Hospital - July 6-10, 2018 Episode Reflections

So is it a surprise that Nelle isn't believing a drop of how Michael left there to go see Jordan and Chase? She knows to always be suspicious given what she's done already. I honestly don't get why Chase said to meet him at Jordan's office anyway. Wouldn't that draw attention if someone saw him going there? They could've met up anywhere for pete sakes to discuss this - even ELQ. Michael could've said that Chase was following him to workplace trying to warn him.

That said, as soon as discussions about the plan began, I knew Michael would agree as he said he'd do "anything."

"What do you want?" "You need to die." Well then....

With the matters this plan involves, Michael better squeal to Jason because trusting the PCPD in this town never works.

It's interesting in the same respect that in the Metro Court, Michael goes, "I want to get married as soon as possible to get rid of him." So Michael is working with Chase, but tells Nelle reason for marriage is to eliminate chase? This is getting messy fast, and probably faster than I want because I was shocked when Michael asked to get married tomorrow. Can I lose my invitation in the mail?

I think Jason wants to lose his invite because he can see every bad thing about this including "getting yourself killed" being uttered. That said when his instincts are off, that's normally for good reason.

I had a small revelation with everything when Sonny said, "Michael is a master strategist. He's brilliant and it worked." I totally forgot when Michael took Avery away from Sonny so maybe I don't give him enough credit sometimes.

"Since when are the cops involved?" "Since recent." "Then you better start talking and not stop until I know everything." I knew Michael couldn't keep it totally hidden from everyone. Maybe Jason will see through Chase's colored glasses.

I mean, he didn't quite warm up after hearing everything, and the parent argument is fair especially since they're going to think it's real. I mean, do we need anything to drive Carly further crazy?

That said, Michael played his cards perfectly as Sonny said he would by saying, "This is my choice. This is my risk. Don't take that away from me." Michael using Jason's code to be allowed to do what he wants as he knows Jason hates making decisions for people to run their lives. And I get why Michael wants this dealt with and out of the way before the baby gets here as he knows that better than anybody after using Avery for revenge against Sonny initially, and the custody battle for him.

But I still agree with Jason that there's too many risks to the plan and if his instincts are on point, then I suggest Michael cans the plan immediately. Besides when did we start trusting the police department?


I love how Jason goes running to Sam in his moment of panic over Michael. And it should mean something when he says, "I would do anything for my kids and I would take any risk necessary. I can't stand by and watch this happen."

"I don't know if I'm strong enough." "Sometimes we have to force our-self to do something we don't want to do. You're the best at that." But when his instincts say otherwise, he needs to act because otherwise we get a mess for months. Also, it should say something when Sam remembers the small moments with Jason. While Drew left her that night, Jason stayed and talked to her for awhile till she was ready to part. She remembers that in how he looked out for her. That holds well for the future.



My jaw dropped further when Chase asked, "Now do you want to hear the truth about your fiance?" Your kidding right, Chase? I mean, he even complimented her in saying, "Let's be real - you'll look beautiful in anything."

We can strangle him as he says, "This marriage to Michael isn't going to work." You probably wish it was you instead. But aren't you supposed to just be letting things play out so he can play dead and you can catch her? Instead, it's like you're giving away the plans by then saying, "What if he divorces you? With all that power and money, he'll strip you of everything - including that baby."

"I'm supposed to leave Michael, the father of my baby? What's the alternative?" "Me." Sorry but you got no money that she wants.

Chase has me thinking especially when he says things like, "I am angry with myself because I didn't take care of you when I had the chance." I keep pondering back to that person who said Chase is in on this to help Nelle. Or is he trying to get her over confident so she messes up in front of Michael? It seems odd when he adds, "I've always loved you, and I'm starting to believe I never will stop."

"She wants you to leave." "Me? You? Or both?" Hmm...


Meanwhile, Nelle continues to act confident despite those around her still not 100% locked on, say like Ava who even asked, "For how long until Michael sees through you?" That's a failure already as we can see.

But hey, Ava has her own drama to deal with as you can already see her jealousy seeping through when she was told that Bensch has "got a photo of Griffin and Kiki in each other's arms." It's beautiful, really, because that means things should work out great when the truth is revealed.

That said, I am shocked at Griffin for not willing to do whatever it takes to keep Bensch locked up by stating, "I'm not going to jail for lying on the stand and neither are you." I guess he just wants to hand the case over so a sexual predator can continue to contact victims.

Instead, we have Kiki contemplating dropping the case before it even goes to trial. Wouldn't bensch messing with your life make you want to further pursue the lawsuit?

I also chuckled when Ava said, "Thank you for being so good to my daughter." I want to know if Ava will say that next week.

By the way, I wonder where Ava will meet up with people when the pub goes under construction. As soon as Julian said he was going to do a "major expansion" and some digging, you knew it'll probably come to finding Sonny's body.

"So we are clear?" "For now." And here comes construction expansion.

 As predicted from when hints began to be dropped, you can begin playing the final countdown as even Jason asked the question, "Once the demolition starts, how long until they find the body?" I don't think Sonny is going to enjoy his coffee now from Julian in hearing this great news.

That said, I was encouraged in hearing "the bigger the project, the bigger the chance of finding the body." Isn't that the drama we want? Sonny made a good try in trying to buy the pub from Julian but Julian said it all - "this building and everything in it belongs to me." Ah yes a dead body is perfect for your collection.

So when Sonny said, "all the drama about the body in Croughton ends tonight," I was all set for him blowing up Julian's place to find the body. Yes, I am trying to do anything and everything for some real good mob drama.


So the Colonial is hiding his recipe at Maxie's?  ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Like really, this was such an unneeded set of events because it was just too pointless and cheesy, regardless of sponsorship. The only thing that would've made it worth while was Lulu stealing the recipe as Maxie gets ready to bring James home.

Now as far as bringing James home, Liesel can actually be really sweet as what she said to Maxie was great. But anybody notice the dull look on Nina's face in knowing their world would come crashing around them? That only continued by her saying, "I don't want him to die by our hands." Like I've been saying all along, Nina has too much of a conscious to know what's going on.

Then you've got Maxie saying, "I wanted to believe he wanted to reinvent himself, start over," but yet she wouldn't even bat an eye at her supposed best friend for months.

So of course that leads to Nina untying the rope and all I could see was Oberect entering just as Nina finishes the last of the ropes. But Nina actually got away with Peter? My heart dropped in hearing that. Glad to hear that she hid him instead. Maybe she's turning a good corner.

Oberect's kinky sex explanation for the bed was everything, by the way. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

"What are you doing?" "Goodbye Heinreck." ....but...but he needs to suffer longer.

"We can't kill him." "Why not?" Because it's fun watching Oberect torture Peter.

On that note, Wyatt was a very entertaining kid when it came to Heinreck with some of his one liners and not finding any help for him. That said, he can disappear now. I can't believe that Peter almost got his escape due to some kid untying knots.

That said, I laughed when Wyatt didn't even leave the snores for a quick snack while Peter wait. But cue the shock and anger in him going to see Franco. Of course we need to make this about Franco, too. Because let's try to redeem Franco this way. Newsflash - nothing worked before, and this won't work now.

The only good thing is Finn being involved because he can find him and get good points in Anna's books. Even Franco said that in saying, "I don't think you care about this. You just care about Anna." It was nice hearing Finn admit it by saying, "I don't care about Peter. I'm doing it for Anna. I'm going to find her son."

Finn also gets the line of the day for asking Franco, "Why are you still here?" I ask myself that everyday.

Really, it should be Sam and Curtis finding Peter - and Sam seemed to be getting close when she was at the party. But instead, they're just going around in circles. Sam having to push the video on Curtis so he sees the smallest detail shows his lack of skills. And then Curtis saying, "Who is she?" Seriously Curtis? Do you need everything written out for you?





"I completely played her and for the first time in months, I felt like myself." "The old you." "The real me." She's back!!!!

Carly speaks the truth when she says "to let someone have that power over me, that doesn't happen. Nelle was someone I could've fought in my sleep before." But of course, let's blame her lack of action due to regret over "the way I couldn't protect Morgan." So we are going to blame shitty character writing on grief?

My heart swelled when Sonny said, "We have to protect our kids and trust our instincts." I feel for them when the plan goes off.

General Hospital - June 29, 2018 to July 5,2018 Episode Reflections

"How do we prove otherwise? Evidence hasn't proved it." "Sam." Jason always puts his faith in her and rightfully so.

I know it wasn't emphasized as much as some people would've hoped, but that little pause from Jason in seeing #NoodleBudha on the flyer was perfect. You also have to love Spinelli's instant happiness in seeing Sam. So glad to see the threesome together.
"Curtis Ashford?" "We opened up a PI together." "Oh..." The shock and heartbreak on Spinelli's face is everything, and I hope he takes a hand in many of her cases as he needs to spend time in New York.

My heart swarmed when Sam said, "just like old times." I also loved the smile shared between Jason and Sam. I see a #JaSamReunion2018 very soon.

Spinelli was everything on June 29, though, as his comments on Curtis along with Jasam hit every single cord. By the way, his jealousy is also just adorable.

  • "I'm sure Curtis is a very worthy investigator." I don't think so. They've already gotten caught twice.
  • "He can provide a service, but it won't be my service. He can provide support, but it won't be my support. They won't be a team." 
  • "I feel she's more herself with us."
  • "I think once she's done this voyage of self-discovery, she'll find her way back to the people that she loves and I'll put you at the top of her list." 
"So now what?" "We wait." Jason has no patience. You can see that.

My heart turned full sympathy when Jason said, "But once you know where to look, it's clear. And if I had been paying attention, I could've protected Carly, could've protected Michael." There's still the regret but yet he can't be regretful as he has a right in missing that due to Sonny's drama and his own in returning. I mean, hearing him detail Russia and his determination on how he got back just made my admiration grow more.

 "Carly was right." "And now we have proof." Love it. Seems perfect in #jaspin solving it together.


So Kevin admitted turning in Jason and doing it to "protect Carly" but really, he did it to protect his own job and position as he just stated. That, and protecting the identity of the neighbor. Any bets on that being Morgan?

By the way, Kevin saying, "I strongly advise you to not communicate." First Mary warning her and now Kevin warns her. The carrot before her grows more with each visit.

It was nice hearing Carly admit, "I frustrate Jason all the time. He gives great advice and I always do the exact opposite and then he has to go all the way out of his way to fix it. Jason is always there."

She also said a very telling point in recalling, "I spent a year and a half trying to fall in love with him, & then I went & slept behind his back with his best friend. And he still loves me and I love him. There isn't a mess that I can make that he can't clean up and you sent him away." Their friendship is special.

The looks on everyone's face when Michael stated their engagement ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Those looks were also great when they added, "We don't want to wait that long." Notably, anyone notice Jocelyn's lack of excitement? The perfume may have made her realize something.

But really, I hope Sonny's words pay off in saying, "I hope you know what you're doing." We all hope so because Nelle needs to go down. Jason was also good in wishing "the happiness you deserve" as Nelle doesn't deserve any.

The look on Sonny's face when Nelle left and Michael said, "Well, that went great...." was also priceless. 


No surprise to hear Michael say, "I'm smart enough to call for help if I need." Michael would call his uncle Jason.That said, Jason's reaction was perfect in asking, "Why the hell are you marrying Nelle?" My heart swarmed with Michael's response in saying "there's no limit to what I am going to do because Nelle isn't going to play me again." It's nice to see Michael growing up and taking more after his parents in #jarly as they did a good job raising him.

"Make sure she feels loved, comforted, safe." "For how long?" "As long as it takes." That's dedication.

"Do not give up your soul for this girl. Don't do anything you can't live with." "I can live with anything as long as my mom and baby are safe." Does Michael truly have it in him? We see as his innocence would say otherwise.

Jason going to think at the foot bridge is classic General Hospital. Glad they're playing homage to his favorite spot. By the way, can I just say that Steve Burton is sexy as hell standing on the bridge? 

"Would you like to watch the fireworks with us?" "yeah, I would." Those smiles are everything ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ After everything they've been through - from heartbreak to finding their way back to each other, to uncertainty of a future with child, and Franco drama through the pregnancy along with Heather - they deserve every single family moment they ever get together. That's why I immediately swarmed in seeing Danny on Jason's shoulders, and the smiles that Jason and Sam traded. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ 


So this scene was a great contrast to watching Sam and Drew divorce. Do you blame my excitement? It's like Drew never got Sam because even in separating he goes, "I don't understand why you want to give up something that is half yours" in regards to Aurora Media. Because it was never her dream. As she said already she could never sit behind the desk. 

By the way, the ring statement was a rip-off. Drew goes, "Can you hold onto these rings for our daughter Scout?" Didn't we play hold onto the ring with Danny for #jasam already? They can't even find them original material now.

Really, Billy could've done a way better through this scene as some emotions would've been nice there mumbles. I mean, Billy had more drama and acting in his scenes with Oscar than he did divorcing Sam.

Sam stole the show with her emotions in the scene, followed by her conversation with Alexis. Her confessions were all we needed to hear.
  • "When I brought him out, he just walked past me like I wasn't there and I felt like no one, like nothing."
  • "I am devastated my marriage is over, but I think I made the right choice for the best. He can move on with his life and I can move on with mine."
So are we surprised that Nelle would go see Carly - the only negative about Michael's demented plan. 

I have no way of agreeing with Nelle when she says "this pregnancy has gone by so fast." Everybody else would say differently. But I can agree with her saying, "I've never been too busy for you, Carly." We can tell, Nelle

So Nelle obviously goes ahead and says, "We're getting married. Can I call you mom?" If looks could kill Carly would've there. That said, Carly's comeback was awesome in saying "just because two people make a baby they shouldn't be married."

So why is Sonny standing there defeated as Nelle leaves? I would use the opportunity to immediately begin convincing Carly of why this is happening and not let it play a single thought on her mind. That said, he eventually did and Carly's response in saying, "Then you have to do whatever it takes to stop this - whatever it takes" was perfect.

By the way, I have to wonder if Brad and Lucas are gonna end up with Nelle's baby. Remember I said that for future notice.

Chase was also priceless when he said, "She had the advantage the last time. Not this time." We shall see where this goes.


I wish Drew would fight the #friz marriage. I mean, he's the one that originally fell in love with her and had her wrapped around a finger until shit hit the fan. Some of #BillyMiller's best acting was when partnered with Becky rather than the mumbling bore now.

That said, instead, we get Drew being friends with Franco while holding those memories of what he did to Jason, Sam, Michael, Jocelyn, etc. I am already over this Drew and Franco friendship. My Reaction on twitter was an instant classic.


Somehow I still paid attention and I caught a piece of hope for Liz in her saying, "I just got a text from Terry. We even shared our first kiss together." The look on Franco's face was priceless, especially with his addition of, "Just in time to reclaim your heart before the wedding." That'd be perfect. I also love the eye-rolling from Drew. I wonder if he's wondering where his chance with Liz again is.

Drew is now taking Franco for drinks? Let's allow the lowlifes who will never to be worthy to bond and perhaps give Liz something true in a reunion with Terry. Really, their drinks only made me realize one thing - Drew has more faith in Elizabeth than Franco does. I suggest getting back together.

Of course they'd make Terry a transgender. We have to eliminate a reason for Franco to truly be jealous - say very hot sexy friend - as he can't handle those emotions. 

Really, this storyline makes me sad now. I get the idea of bringing a transgender character in and creating that dynamic of inclusion, but they could've done it differently. For this storyline in particular, it leaves an open door of missed opportunities. Hello perfect opportunity for @RebeccaBudig to return or a throwback to Webber family history. But of course we miss these beats as usual.











You'd think they'd do the baby shower at like the metro court or Kelly's. Instead, nope. let's do it where Julian works instead. Side note - Sam's scowl at Julian is everything.

I still say Nina never should've found out about Peter's location as she's getting too close to revealing it with saying stuff like "you better do what she says or she'll break your hand." So next week Sam figures out the Nina/Liesel connection based on their comments.

That said, Peter seeing Maxie as a hallucination was everything, especially when he imagined her saying, "I'm not here to save you. I'm here to watch you suffer." I even smiled in hearing him say, "If it'll ease your pain, I'll let go..." Okay goodbye Heinreck. Although you deserve another four years of torture and a Jason visit before you do as good payback.

By the way, shout-out to scout who visited Peter. That's the perfect kid to visit Peter ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I like the new Cameron as he's perfect so far, even in saying to Jocelyn, "Cool, we can hang out." The jealousy on Oscar's face can be seen from a mile away. I want to see where Jocelyn and Cameron go. So hopefully Jocelyn sees him soon like she told him as he left.

I will Oscar can be quietly savage, as his line about Julian in saying, "I just saw something that made me nausaus" was clever.

General Hospital - June 27&28, 2018 Episode Reflections


Sam being there is perfect for Jason and that anger. She was always good for talking through issues with him. Besides, as they said, "I'm glad to see you here." We are glad to see you together, too.

Jason is right in saying, "I didn't go to Ferncliff to protect her. I went there to talk her down" as we know Carly can protect herself if necessary. And let's face it - he did a good job at his advice for her in the process.

"She comes out swinging and could trap herself there longer." "And you can't let that happen." "No I can't." Even Sam understands how Jason looks out for Carly and respects that and accepts that. She is even encouraging it here.

My heart was set to burst when Jason said, "I'll just have to break her out." I'm all for a criminal story. We've been missing drama. But alas, Sam once again does her duty in making sure things make sense in Jason's world. This is why they work. She's the brains, he's the muscle.

"I need to figure it out." "Not you - us." Now  this is what we've been waiting for. And the look on Jason's face was everything. He realizes what he's getting here as just like Sam said, this is "just like old times."


Sonny paying off Rupert is everything you'd expect in a crime family. Just my only fear is he takes his new found information to Mary. But let's see - Rupert vs Mary could be fun now.

Anyways, the interaction between Carly and Sonny was more interesting, espically with Carly asking, "But do you truly believe Nelle set me up?" I'm interested to hear Sonny's answer esp after everything to get to this point. Yes he wants his wife home, but is that with belief in her?

It seems he does, though, based on him saying, "When you're outta here, the baby's safe, Nelle is going to pay. I promise you that." By the way, I can't wait for that because we know how these mob promises go.

Side note - Jason gave her the phone for emergency purposes. Looking up a Morse code app does not apply. Besides, everyone should know code for SOS.


So while Carly is amusing herself with that, it's clear that Chase ain't playing today as he already picked up on the scent. Don't me tell that Nelle will try and frame Jocelyn next.

I couldn't help but snicker in hearing Chase say, "If he hasn't put a ring on it, then he isn't going to." But I like how he's playing both sides with her in trying to create trust and something forward. That said, Nelle's grab stunt is a flashback.

Now once everything comes out, I see a potential for some Chase and Nelle chemistry. He'd be great to help her pick up the pieces once her world comes crashing down and we figure out just how crazy she is. That's why I was all snickering smile when he said to Jordan, "You'll think I'll let her seduce me a second time?" I also loved the heartbroken face in hearing that Nelle and Michael were engaged.

On that note, Michael is doing an awfully good job on his supporting Nelle - but I wonder if chase caught a glimpse into his eyes. I mean, like he said, "My eyes are open. I know exactly what I am doing." O really? We shall see whether you expose her or not.


"What are you saying?" "I'm saying let's get married." I get remaining close and doing whatever you can to figure out her game and expose her, but this is a little too far extreme and unnecessary. Carly will definitely go crazy now if she hears, too. I really don't even think that's needed anyway as Chase is the perfect distraction and cause to rattle Nelle's mind and cause her to lose her own grip on the situation. She starts and boom, Michael pounces.

But alas, here we are with a surprise bucket of doubts from Nelle. You'd think that she would've grabbed the ring and ran. Instead, she goes, "Are you saying that you love me, Michael?" Oh he loves you dear....

So while I kill Michael for that move, I'm all set for him and Francesca getting close. My heart fluttered in her almost offering a confession to him with saying, "There's something you should know."  I wouldn't be surprised in hearing Francesca report a violation given new face and easy to pray on. Now having Michael comfort her and sympathize would be perfect considering @GeneralHospital missed that beat with Kiki.

That said, when she paused and didn't anymore you had the perfect combination, and it was nice to see her eventually come forward. Francesca and Kiki standing together is perfect. Two great young lady leads.

I mean, it's way better than Ava and her whining about things. I chuckled inside when she told Griffin, "I know you worry about Kiki and I can't tell you how much that means to me." She probably won't be saying the same thing in a couple months. I wouldn't be surprised given how much they're harping on what happened that she'll come out pregnant just as she takes the doctor to court.

And Griffin, you couldn't be any wronger in saying, "She won't. Ava knows the worst thing to do right now is to do something." Still believing she's changed?

I mean, look at her conversation with Franco in saying, "Now that we got that out of the way, what are we going to do about it?" Then you have her adding, "I don't vent - I act."

Watch redemption #7472 is Franco doing something to Dr. Bensch. Don't care. Why? See previous entries. I don't need to go through that essay again but watch Franco go after Bensch and yet in some twisted way they'll argue that he's right for it and all that jazz.

I almost puked when Franco said, "Sometimes I wish I was my old self." The guy that tormented people for years. The guy who sexually assaulted people. The guy who creeped the hell out of people. Yeah that sounds great. But remember he's "trying to do right by Elizabeth," but hasn't changed the right reasons.

I believe that Bensch is going to end up dead. That'll leave it up to either Ava or Franco guilty. But of course let's give Liz a couple pointed lines to make her a suspect. Besides, I was more interested when she said, "I just got a message from someone that I hadn't seen in a long time." My heart had hoped for Hayden.

But first - we have Drew showing up at the house. Really, I feel ya pain in being invited to Franco's wedding, Drew, especially when you should be with Liz as you originally were instead. Liz even hinted that in saying, "you have lots of people who love you" as we know she's on that list. Drew and Liz have natural chemistry. No strings and no knowledge they fell in love and were set for a future until memories played a role. Let's get back to that magic, okay?

Now in all of this, I was willing to cheer on Drew despite some of his past actions. That all gotten thrown out of the window when he said, "I know a lot of things about Jason that could get him locked up." So you throw brother under the bus for no reason? You're back on the shit list.


"Maybe he was just trying to hold onto her." "Just like I was trying to hold onto you?" I don't see Julian and Alexis ever letting each other go. Just look at the rest of his lines in saying "don't confuse the way things began with how they ended" and "if someone saw us now they'd even believe we're friends."

----

I miss #fanna love, too. That phone call from Finn was sweet.
Dante reflecting back has me in the feels. You can see he's saying goodbye as much as person as character. And that #lante flashback was perfect.

But really - we brought up the drowning to use that as an excuse for Dante leaving? Little far fetched.

"he tried to kill you...." ".....over two years ago." Exactly why I'm saying this story is farfetched.

Even with my reservations, the emotions from Dante and Lulu were perfect for him leaving and such. They did that right for an exit.

***

Initially - So Franco's dad is going to defend his daughter against his daughter's sexual assaulter? Yeah, this is going over well. Scott choosing to defend bensch shows his love for the bottom dollar.

Reality - Good boy Scotty for saying no to defend. That was milky waters for a minute.

General Hospital - June 24&25, 2018 Episode Reflections


Gosh I love Jason with Carly and I hope she takes in and listens to every bit of that man's advice moving forward. And while we may not agree with Carly being there, Kevin is right that they "can find something to talk about" as Carly is never short of stories or drama.

I couldn't help my disappointment in hearing Mary Pat say, "It seems you've been deceiving me, Mr. Morgan. I don't like liars." Interesting look on Kevin's face afterwards. He warned them but I don't know if he gave Jason away though. And certainly Jason could've argued being outted by Mary and caused a fuss - but that'd just create more drama and problems for Carly. So this is the smart way.

It was also great irony in hearing Sonny say right after, "Thanks for getting that job there. Its the only thing keeping me sane." Really, he should've thought about that before you threw your wife under the bus and didn't believe a single word she said and didn't support her till locked up. Maybe it's good karma this way.

I can't lie in being almost caught in hearing, "I don't know how long Carly is going to wait before making a plan of his own." I love Jason's constant worry about Carly. Their friendship is what we should all strieve to. That said, If Jason's nerves are fried about Carly and on alert, then it says something as he's normally never wrong about his instincts.

I get his worry, too, especially when he says, "It's like what I went through at Russia but Carly is not wired to go through this." That's what makes Jason so special in what he was able to do in getting back home.


Ah Sonny used his stop to see Dante to bend rules and get in to see Carly. While he's pissed me off during this story, Carly seeing Sonny is perfect to keep her from going over as Michael puts pieces together.


I loved how Jason's gone not even say 3-4 hours and Carly was reaching for the phone. Didn't she get the "only use for emergency memo" from him? You had to know Carly would get caught. Its in line with the writing of Carly missing so many things and also her own reaction to do the most desperate things at times.

That said, she was very smart on her feet with the diary. At first I literally thought she was trying to make the diary into an "electronic diary" or something.

And Mary Patt, I haven't dropped my thoughts in relation to as your tone when saying "too bad you can't share the good news with your friend. Jason is gone" was a little suspicious. Oh, and Mary Patt's freak out at the tapping makes me wanna lock her up.

Oh, and I'm still interested in the next door patient. It'd make sense if it's Morgan given how they're making Carly push talking about him and honoring him. I also get the thoughts that Kevin is next door and this is evil Ryan running around - but that seems too genius for this writing staff esp with Kevin's low-key behavior so far.

Mary's tone regarding the patient scares me as usual when she says "every patient here at the cliff receives expert, appropriate care" along with "he's extra dangerous. I'd avoid him and focus on you." That's just like dangling a carrot in front of her face. We know Carly's goal in there now. And does Mary Patt have any relation to those who kept Jason locked up in Russia? She's taking the same approach #GH

****

I was beginning to get a little intrigued and possibly triggered by Michael's behavior when he right out asked, "Like you called chase in after you had sex?" I thought Michael was supposed to keep a quiet cover on Nelle until he found enough pieces to shove all in her face at once. The shirt isn't enough to prove all the scheming and set mommy free.

"So you think I did the right thing?" "With Chase? Yes. Just not with me." Let's just get to the point Michael, please. These hints at each scene end are getting old.

"trust that or trust me?" / "I would've believe you Nelle..." "I should know that by now." "Why don't you?" / "I'm here for you and the baby always."  His cover to keep an eye on her is so lovely. He's taking lessons well.

I also love how Michael wiped the kiss off his lips after she left the room, but I will say that I haven't fully let it go that he is part of the "non-doing something" club before it's too late. He could redeem himself by figuring out Nelle now.

I mean, he even admitted that today in saying to Jason, "It's my fault. I knew Nelle was twisted. I knew she set up my father. I knew she used my family's grief. Iconvinced myself I could save her and be her hero. So if I have to risk my life, so be it." But Jason is right in not trusting Michael while in danger. I get Jason's worry as big brother/father, but Michael hasn't been the cleanest with his actions or dealt with someone this twisted. Does he have the instincts to handle Nelle?

"Between grandpa and mom, this family is crumbling." "We're going to make it right." I can't wait for the reunion and family rise back to the top. Nobody messes with Carrinthos or those close to them and gets off easily. Be warned, Nelle. Like Michael said, "She's going to make a mistake and when she does, I'll be there." Hopefully soon.

Side Note - I love the "enchantment" mention of Nelle's perfume. Can the perfume owner and creator make an appearance?






So Jocelyn got Oscar a compass? How cute. Glad he won't get lost in the woods. Anybody remember Jason getting Sam a compass so they would always find their way back to each other?  It'll also be interesting watching everyone's reaction to Oscar wearing Morgan's perfume too.

Loving the emotions out of Jocelyn. Its great to see this side of her. It's equally heart warning to hear Jason give Jocelyn advice.  ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜  And Jocelyn, you're right in saying, "when she falls, you're always there to catch her as you believe in her more than anyone else," in relation to Jason and Carly.
Jocelyn is also interesting moving forward, too, as I love how she brushed off the cologne being picked up by the garbage man to Nelle. Even better surprise when Oscar is wearing it. It was also great in hearing Nelle say, "this pregnancy is in its final weeks." It's like finally.

So now that we have Jocelyn suspecting Nelle, hopefully Jocelyn can keep doing her good deed of being like mommy.


The conversation between Kim and Drew about Oscar has my #krew filter on high. Almost making me forget my #driz dreams. 

That said, I was wondering with Drew having Jason's memories if he'll clue in to the cologne - but obviously that was a lost cause....unless Morgan didn't start wearing the cologne until after Jason supposedly died. It's the only explanation that these sloppy writers could use now. I mean, there's so many beats that they miss at times that I can only laugh. 

Oh, and Drew scratching the forehead and ignoring the "compass" reaction makes me wonder if he thought of the #jasam compass time. 


You'd think they'd both be doing more knowing her track record. Instead, Spinelli and Michael are doing all the work.

"This case has to be air tight." "So let's get to work." I can't wait for this to come together. That said, Michael will probably beat the cops in figuring it out despite his mistakes so far.
Glad that Sam still has her ways of getting out of a bind. Now let's not get caught from here on out, okay?

****

"Whose there to comfort you?" "Me."  I couldn't be happier with Finn and Anna.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

While I hate to see Anna go away, Finn is right that "time sometimes becomes a problem. It becomes easier to say things that have become unsaid." Least can we have hot phone sex while she's gone?

"you probably wonder what you could've done if you weren't so focused on me." "Yeah...you can't stop and wonder though. I just need to figure out how to deal it." It should've always rely on Jason's shoulders. Doesn't Carly have a husband for a reason? That said, I appreciate his loyalty and their friendship. Hence why I have no issue in #jarly behavior here. I also feel it's better than sitting and waiting for Sam. Why be bored while giving her the warranted space?

Oh Anna saying that "maybe it's for the best" on watching Peter escape. Sweetheart, you better not be trying to get sympathy and understanding from Jason. You're talking about the guy that took away five years of his life. You're talking about the guy that held him hostage against his will. Like he warned, "you just watch your back."

***

It was refreshing for Nina to once again remind us "the us where you lie and I believe you? That us is over" in relation to Valentine. And I get how she says, "I'm done playing games with you," but I say this is the best game. After all Valentine's lies and games, here you are hiding his little pride and joy from him.

Of course Valentine isn't going to give up as you heard with the phone call in him saying "I'm doing this for my wife so there's no margin for error," and more than likely she'll cave like always.


I don't care what Jordan says about Peter in trying to make Maxie feel better. If he wanted to really start over, he would've cleared his name and explained it all.

As Nina stated on Friday and I emphasized, "failure to act is an act itself." Sure, you created the mess and were involved in the beginning, and sure you can feel guilty about what happened. However, you had the choice to change the course of events - Valentine or Peter revealing the Heinreck fact rather than this game of deception. They didn't so now whatever is dealt their way is on them, right?

That said, I wasn't surprised to hear Maxie say, "I hate that Peter's childhood is making it hard for me to hate him." I knew they'd make them attract back again.


PREVIEWS

"We'll make Nelle pay." You could've help sooner Sonny #carson

I still want Hayden at Liz's door but wouldn't mind Drew as spoiled #driz

Yay for more #franchael tomorrow.

Not gonna lie as I'm also excited for #chelle through Dante's plan. Does trying to find her guilt see them back in bed again?

General Hospital - June 22, 2018 Episode Reflections


So I'm not surprised by Carly's stunt because let's face it - it's right up her alley of actions. And in truth, Jason won't mind cleaning up dinner if he gets time with Carly. I just worry that she's cutting her time with him too close to where it'll get noticed and caught.

That said, once again I just adored his advice for her in how to survive her time there, and handle Mary Patt. He's certainly knows what she needs to hear and yes, "you win when you get free" and that should be soon as Nelle's world is slowly crashing around her.

That said, Carly did her part in swelling my heart by bringing up the most beautiful attribute about Jason - "they'll just see a uniform and forget about me." "Unless they see your eyes. They're very memorable." ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜


So Nina finally put the words in my mouth by telling Valentine "failure to act is an act itself" because she's right about both him and Peter in that sense. Sure, you created the mess and were involved in the beginning, and sure you can feel guilty about what happened. However, you had the choice to change the course of events - Valentine or Peter revealing the Heinreck fact rather than this game of deception. They didn't so now whatever is dealt their way is on them, right?

I've been harping on this for months, and especially when Peter tried to plead his case to Nina in the cabin. Recall when he said "I don't deserve this" at the beginning of this month. Anybody remember the reaction I had? You're the reason Nathan is dead. You held a man captive for five years using horse tranquilizers. You deceived everybody in town for months. The evidence says otherwise. Now I just have shorter wording for this courtesy of Nina.

That said, while I may have kudos for her one liner, I want to smack her otherwise. She is going to get herself exposed based on the hint dropping that she's already done with Maxie and Valentine. Liesel should've never told her.

And Valentine may say he will do anything for Nina in trying to get her to speak up but a reveal will see Liesel thrown under the bus and Peter saved. But in return, Liesel will take Nina with her and once again, Peter gets nothing.

****

It's nice to see Alexis have this rage for Julian. Much long needed rake over the coals.

I will also admit that I was against these two going to counseling together because let's face it - they should never cross each other's orbit again after what happened. However, it's actually been a nice glance into their relationship. From Julian stating that he got together with her originally because he "wanted a chance at redemption," hence trying to leave the mob, to him saying, "I think we were trying to break that cycle of violence. I just wish we had."

The only person to blame here though is still Julian. If he wanted to break the cycle of violence, why didn't he come to her sooner about Olivia forcing his hand? If he wanted to break the cycle, why did he hold a knife to her throat? If he wanted to break the cycle, why did he show every single ill intent that you can never take back from that moment in that situation?

So yes, you can clearly see that I'm not a big fan of #julexis for this simple fact and really, we can leave Julian with Kim as long as Drew and Liz get together - yes, I'm still pushing #driz in some situations. Don't mock me.

However, I can even admit that you can see the tension there and all I have to ask is - how long until they use the broom closet? I mean, I even scuffed it off when he said, "We owe it to each other to move on with our lives" because they'll probably end up being together.

Odds and Ends:


  • "you know why I became the DA?" "No firm would take you on?" I'm actually looking forward to letting the games begin after that exchange. They could make good counterparts. We just need to get Carly our first. 
  • Sam should've never partnered with Curtis. First he lacked trust in her abilities, and now they've gotten caught for the second time. Can we get Spinelli and Sam back together with their PI business? If they were back together, before entering Spinelli would've hacked into hotel records to see if the room had been rented to someone else. 
  • Theory: Nelle loses her baby and steals #brucas' baby. Just because of all these hints from Brad and Lucas that nothing will go wrong.

General Hospital - June 13 to 21, 2018 Episode Reflections

Are we really surprised that Carly found the interesting supervisor with a stick up her ass? You had to know that was happening with certainty given the trail that we've seen with General Hospital through this storyline. But really - for a place that's supposed to help you, that nurse sounds more like a warden than a helpful soul. Can we get her fired?

Now knowing what she's dealing with, Carly trying the hidden pill trick seems childish. She had to know this nurse would check. But hey, I guess kudos for effort right?




While I may be annoyed with Carly's situation, I absolutely loved Mike. It was great seeing him with Jason and Sonny. I mean, I even chuckled when he just went out of the blue, "Family has to take care of family, so let's break her (Carly) out." But really, his plan would be fun. We'd finally get some much needed action.

His comments on Jason were interesting, too, in saying "nicest guy you'll meet on the surface, but can cut ice water with his veins" as well as  "that's the kind of guy that I stay clear of." Meanwhile, sorry Mike but I'd want to run into him every chance I get. ๐Ÿ˜

So Jason will do anything for carly - and yes, now that includes cleaning dirty toilets. He has janitor experience. Anybody remember night shift?  But really, I'm glad she caught a sight of him as the hopelessness on her face as she passed out from the pills was enough to cry.

That said, Jason is going to make one sexy janitor. Can he come clean up the dirty toilets at my work? He'd make the nightshift easier.  Because as he said,  "A mess is a mess. Someone has to clean it up." And hearing big ass boy go, "Stick to mopping the floors; leave the patients up to the professionals," made me laugh. It's shocking that they found someone bigger than Jason - but that's still not gonna work as Jason can kick anybody's ass if he wants. I can see them facing heads very quickly given the instant attitude.

That said, I love the change in Carly's demeanor as soon as she heard and saw Jason. That will be enough to keep her off the edge. That will be enough to keep hope in knowing she's not alone. Let our Queen begin to rise now alongside her knight.

I'm also not surprised by her continued glances as I'd be checking out that janitor too though. And his pep talks are on point as let's face it - Mary is a witch and a power-tripping bitch. I can't wait for Jason to take her down with Dr. Collins. Can this storyline end with her locked up instead?

"Is that off a doctor's recommendation?" "Mostly mine." Do you also not get meds approved by doctors either? This nurse seems beyond shady, and exposing her could levy enough to get Carly released. I mean, I was shocked when Kevin asked, "How many meds do they have you on?" As her doctor, shouldn't you know and be the one prescribing them? Shouldn't you have a copy of the file they have?


Please don't tell me that Kevin Collins spoils the cover put together by Jason as a janitor. You'd think he'd want him to stay in knowing what Mary is capable of, instead of voting against it as he did. But instead, no, he goes ahead and says, "Jason, this is not a good idea."

You'd think Kevin would want to take Mary down as if she had her way, she would just love it if Kevin didn't attend to those in Ferncliff as she enjoys being a power trip and picking on the mentally ill. Can Jason kick her ass now?

"I'm so glad you're here." "Too bad he can't stay." I think if Jason explains everything as to what happened and whats going on outside of there ala Spinelli and Michael, he may bend the rules a little. And he's right in saying, "but if you're found out, you'll cause more trouble for Carly," but he never gets caught.

"it's up to you." "I want you to stay." "I'm staying." I love their friendship

So yay for #chelle flashbacks. As I stated in the previous entry, this could be an fun as it'd actually interesting enough to see where they go with them as Nelle's behavior becomes more revealed.

Really, the more Nelle throws Chase under the bus in front of Michael, the more Michael should get curious and talk to him. They could take her down together. And did anybody notice the look on Michael's face? It's clear that he knows something is up.

I rolled my eyes when Nelle said, "Instead he became obsessed with me." So is that how you took lessons for your plan against Michael? I also smiled when she asked, "What if he's here to finish what he started?" That'd be lovely.

Chase saying "exactly as Nelle intended" should give Michael all he needs in connection to the Carly situation. Proof of a trail of her actions and schemes. And yes, good advice in saying, "Don't get in a kayak with Nelle, or anything."

So my heart swarmed initially when Nelle got the shirt from Chase - but of course raspberry pie busted that bubble quickly in a good way. Spinelli strikes again. Nice job with finding the shirt trace. Trying to hurt Chase's credability for the future is a good ploy - until its discovered.

But Jocelyn having the perfume has me more curious and I love that Chase knows something is up on the Carly-Nelle front. The more people curious the better. Because Ava saying she wouldn't wish Ferncliff on her worst enemy should say something for Nelle.
So I rolled my eyes when Nina said, "I don't know the status of my marriage right now." Didn't she go to Alexis and say she wanted her to represent her for a divorce? Didn't she tell him right off? But yet now she's defending him to Sam and Curtis. Let's stick to a plan, please.

"think you can keep him busy long enough?" "Yeah, we have lots to discuss." I thought you were totally through with him this time. Least she started off the discussion by saying, "I called you here to tell you I'm done being your wife. I want a divorce."

I've got no sympathy when Valentine says, "I didn't want you to see my biggest failure." You could've righted it and saved the marriage by exposing the truth or forcing Peter to leave town. And who wants to bet Nina takes him back within these 30 days?


I still want to punch Ava, and that isn't changing anytime soon. I mean, her constant need to question Griffin should say enough about dishonesty and the fact that they don't belong together. It's ridiculous constantly hearing her say, "Why are you so secretive when it comes to my daughter?" And for the record, let's be serious and just admit that Grifki has more chemistry anyway than Grava could ever have.

"this isn't about you." "Of course it's about me. I'm your mother." [...] "I don't get why you didn't turn into me." Well geez maybe you shouldn't have slept with her boyfriend or gone behind her back. That's why truth will be wonderful.

That said, Kiki gets all my applause as she rode her mom well in saying, "you use sex as a strategy and a weapon" and "you used sexually to manipulate guys and get forward."

It made me laugh even harder when Ava pleaded her innocence in saying, "I have made mistakes, but I've changed. Being with Griffin has made me a better person but I'm sorry you can't accept that." Okay you blanket stealing, custody manipulating, throwing Max in jail bitch. And really, I just listed what she's done since saying she loved Griffin and was changing. If we go pre Griffin, oh lawdy, we'll be here all week. We could do a #DoesAvaRemember.

So Franco redemption #7473 is him beating up Dr. Bensch to stand up against the sexual harassment. Meanwhile, that creep sexual assaulting kidnapping ass is allowed to walk the streets with no consequences for years of torture. I've said it enough, but let me say it again - you're not going to change my mind on Franco.

"he's not going to ruin someone else's life." "Are we still talking about Kiki, or you?" And here we go with his sexual sad story once again. Meanwhile everytime he speaks I see Sam crying in the shower, Michael in his cell and I don't give two shits on his story.

Really, it would've nice to see Michael or Sam comfort Kiki through this deal. Anybody remember the time they comforted each other? That was some of the best content seen on General Hospital for a storyline this sensitive.

Instead, we have his paws in this story, and the whole family wedding deal. I've said this before but the timing is still misguided since we were about to marry before without all this drama. And I still don't give a shit since Franco can go fly a kite.  While we're at it, can we have James Franco actually come back and find out that Roger is impersonator?

But wait - maybe there's some truth to Franco actually. I mean, him admitting that Liz "deserves more than I could possibly give her" was refreshing. And his freak out in asking, "You have other patients?" reminded me how crazy he is, but not as much as when he stated, "I may be a looney."




That said, can we get to some #driz loving? That could be interesting since #krew doesn't seem to be moving as Kim went camping instead.

Speaking of Drew, I laughed when he said, "I chose to lead the life where neither had anything over me." But yet you lean on everybody else for everything in your life.

Oh, Oscar should get some kudos because he got some stellar lines in by saying, "it makes absolutely no sense that my mom is on a camping trip with Julian Jerome," followed by asking if Julian got eaten by a bear yet.

Odds and Ends:

So when Dr. Bensch approached her, I was all set for her to just kick him in the balls. That said, I think I got a new respect for Griffin in how he grabbed Dr. Bensch there.

So Peter's hand is broken and infected? Good job, Liesel, because I have no sympathy, not even when he tries to plead his case by saying, "I'm not the monster you think I am." Let's face it, he's almost there because rather than be truthful, you played the deception game. You could've came out with honesty. You could've returned the flash drive. But you didn't so your choices wrote your fate.

Of course we'd go through all those scenes with Mike and Sonny and now find out where the dang body is.

She's officially Samantha McCall again.

General Hospital - July 6-10, 2018 Episode Reflections

So is it a surprise that Nelle isn't believing a drop of how Michael left there to go see Jordan and Chase? She knows to always be suspi...
