General Hospital - April 10, 2018 Episode Reflections

Before we begin, I have admittedly been on a streak of going back to previous General Hospital episodes, and really - re-watching the full JaSam history from the beginning. I've currently hit the 2017 era and re-watched the Hotel Hostage scenes. I have one thing to say - they triumph the earthquake, anything that #GH has done lately by far. Can we get back to stuff like that?

Ah, a girl can only dream because instead, we're stuck with Franco and whatever else they want to give us. I had a glimmer of hope when he wouldn't wake up for Drew. I mean, I would prefer he just stay that way. Stop teasing me with all these ways Franco could die, General Hospital, and just do it.

Also, can I puke at Franco and Drew bonding, especially considering that Drew is still married to Sam, the woman that Franco sexually assaulted?

Palm meet face when Drew says, "I'm going to let Franco tell you when he's ready." I was about to scream as all I could see is the secret game with Liz continuing. But I get it - even though Franco isn't my "guy" and I wish no forgiveness to him despite this redemption storyline, I will agree that he should be able to tell Elizabeth the truth himself.

So let's all dance and sing now that the secret is out because frankly, we don't need to harp on that anymore. But I bet the reaction gets dragged out from both Franco and Drew. That said, I almost feel bad for Drew being alone right now. Where's Kim?

Side point - Jordan is being a bitch in her way of asking for information. Where's the sympathy? Getting pressured to actually do work?
--------

But hey, there's also better things than Franco - like CarSason. I missed the fab three together.

Sonny saying, "I just want to know why I'm just hearing about this now" was no surprise. Clearly, the understanding factor of we wanted to give you space, I had it under control, you have other things to worry about isn't going to fly over Sonny.

That said, as soon as he stated "there's no proof the scarf was there," you knew that he was probably that Carly is going insane. I just feel terrible in watching Carly go through this - and then having her own husband throw her under the bus so to speak.

I'm glad that they called Jason and was even hopeful when he asked for details from that night, as if maybe it could lead to Jason finding a clue in the house. But that was obviously a hopeless thought.

I about shit bricks when Sonny said, "No, we don't have time to call Brick. I'm going to call the cops."  Jason has been gone so long that Sonny has forgotten the proper protocol for these situations. I love how Jason double checked, too, with Sonny saying,  "Dante traced the call, and there is a legal record of this." Is this about making Dante feel better given the latest trend of events? I'd rather be focused on Carly safety than that.

That said, it was no shock when Carly gave in and said, "Yeah, I want the cops in on this and since it's legal and it's my house, I'll make the call."  She is probably just doing this to make Sonny feel better about the situation given the recent events, too. But no surprise when she said, "That's the second time that I went to the police, and the second time that they found nothing."  What else do you expect in this town?

So no surprise Sonny wants Carly to see Griffin. Really, it's turning into Jason doing whatever he can for Carly while Sonny believes she's crazy. I can't wait for Sonny to be proved wrong once again. Sometimes he truly underestimates Carly - as she said to him on March 31,  "You’re a hard man to love Sonny. But nothing worth having is ever easy. And I do love you. I really love you."

As much as I am enjoying Anna and Jason working together, too, I wish she would've not called at that time. It would've been nice to have more scenes with the #fab3 together.

That said, the chemistry and feelings that Jason is picking up from #fanna is perfect, too. I love how he asked, "Are you sure he's not telling you what you want to hear?" or telling her how Finn wanted to protect her. Then of course, Anna wasn't so coy either in immediately pondering for full details of that conversation. Even Alexis recognizes it too saying, "You and Anna protest your feelings for each other just a little too much." Can we just please hook them up already?

Anna saying, "You're making a large assumption that he left those clues for his mother." It's no surprise that she's trying to throw him off the mother. However, she opened the discussion by reading the opening statement and saying, "It's a mission statement. He's coming for his mother next."

No surprise in Jason just sticking to business with "you focus on Emma. Who knows - Faison's lighter may lead us to Heinreck and his mother." Jason is going to figure this all out - don't we worry. He probably already has a good hunch about Anna's closeness to Heinreck, and has an eye on Peter.

-----------

Also, how long are we going to focus on Peter's lighter and keep replaying that over and over as a clue until a detail is revealed? That said, I wish I could shoot Lulu in the foot for saying, "There are so many clues about the writer's identity." I wouldn't have said that to him directly, considering.

Peter is certainly a man at hiding his secret, even using the "it's a spy thriller. We received an advanced copy" excuse once Maxie saw the book. As soon as Lulu identified the Faison connection, not surprised one bit by Maxie dropping the book instantly - and you had to know another round of Maxie vs Lulu was right behind that, as we saw. Hence no surprise in Maxie saying, "Either way, you get to cash in on Nathan's death again."

She was also good in her words directly to Peter in saying, "It's a story about how he - Heinreck - shouldn't be blamed. Now his father is dead and he gets a free pass. How is that fair?" Thank you Maxie for finally riding Heinreck's ass in front of Peter. I can't wait for more of this to happen.

That said, my jaw dropped when she went down the opposite path and said, "Maybe I'm being unfair about Heinreck. What if the story in that book is true and he's just another victim of Faison's?"  I still say Heinreck isn't getting no free ride from me.

So of course Peter takes advantage and says, "Maybe you should read it instead of basing your opinion on the inside flap." Peter, you may have a story and a great reason, but you still held a man captive for longer than deserved, and you're still playing hide and seek with this secret. That said, Maxie's reaction to the book could be interesting to see.

----------

I hope Nina keeps pursuing Peter because there's value in her saying, "When his past comes out, I just hope it doesn't hurt Maxie." I also wasn't surprised in Valentine responding, "Whenever it comes out, I just hope that you keep this to yourself." Valentine is only trying to cover his tracks.

That said, we'll see that works. Lulu's timing was perfect saying she'd accept Valentine's offer at that very time in front of Nina. That'll prove interesting down the line. I mean, it already proved good in causing Nina to ask, "I get why you want to expose Heinreck, but what is in it for you?" So how long until Valentine's involvement is exposed?

Lulu was perfect in saying, "I still believe that Heinrech is here in Port Charles." Anybody notice the look on Valentine's face?

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...
