General Hospital - April 25, 2018 Episode Reflections

So today's @GeneralHospital episode was awesome. @1SteveBurton and @kellymonaco1 still have it together. Get ready for some #StellyMagic tonight.

It was great to hear Sam say that she had a great time. But she didn't need to as that smile said it all before she spoke, though. That said, Jason is certainly enjoying this, too, in speaking of admiration for his beauty in saying, "he didn't have a chance against you...."

But then also with Sam adding, "I needed that" following the whole bank situation and a bike ride together - yeah, she's not playing a single bit here. So much for that changed for the kids, right?
So like I did in the preview the day before, I smiled in Sam saying, "Come on Jason, Spinelli stranded us here on purpose."  But I gotta hand it to him - he set that up nicely. That said, I would've done that well as they need to see the chemistry that we all see.

It's almost a chuckle in hearing Sam say, "We need to talk with him as too many coincidences keep coming up." Meanwhile, Spinelli hasn't taken any action - just observed - so it can only be one other thing causing this - fate. Isn't fate so wonderful? I mean, she even recognizes that because of the phone call to the airport about the flight.

Oh Jason in saying "it won't happen again because he respects you." Spinelli also has enough confidence based on time spent with you for what is going to happen soon.

That said, for being upset with Spienlli for setting them up with time together, Sam looks real angry. But I get it - it's just a good excuse right now to go along with "finding herself," "wanting space," putting aside the fact that she wants Jason back so badly already.

Jason saying, "I think he nudged fate in the direction that he wanted it to go" is spot on. Two people can be drawn to a room and space in many ways - but it is up to them in how they handle that. She could've avoided all contact, gone home, kicked Jason out of her room. She didn't have to invite Jason in the room to say what was going on, she didn't have to help save Spinelli, and she didn't have to go to the bank. But yet, she had fun instead. Like she said herself, "It felt really good to get back to what I know..."

"Are you sure you want to stay with this investigation? Sam, I love working with you, you're one of the best at what you do. But you said you wanted distance." "I did say that and this isn't it." She wanted distance from Drew's overbearing this to be herself again only. But there we go again with Jason putting her feelings first, asking how she feels, making sure that she's okay with all fronts of what is to come - even though it'd mean "more than anything" for them to reunite together.

I smiled in hearing Jason say, "When I got out of that clinic, I had no idea how much time had passed so of course I was worrying about you and Danny. But of course, I wasn't afraid of something had happened to you." He knows the strength that she has when she can be herself. She's truly badass.
My heart swarmed when he said, "When I saw that date, that's when I realized five years had passed and that's when I was afraid. Five years...." Finally, we have Jason expressing the emotions that we've been missing since his return. But of course, he isn't one for much talk except to Sam. And yes, my heart swarmed more when he said, "The whole way back to Port Charles, I was praying that you and Danny were alive. I told myself that I could take whatever had happened, as long as you were okay. You are."
Fate, ladies and gentleman. Huxbey is another common thread in this game as Sam recalls hearing the watch story. And you're trying to tell me that it's not meant to be? ;) It'd actually be awesome if Jason could see Mike wearing the watch now as recall Rita gave it to Mike, but he told Sonny a story of how it came from his mom.
"We were apart for 5 years. But yet we end up in the same bar, holding the same watch, hours within each other." "Maybe Huxby was right. Maybe the watch was lucky." "Or maybe Spienlli was right - it was fate." Can't make this up. #GH has been playing the #jasam beat all along.

They found a flight to get back to the US quicker than intended. But yet, Sam doesn't looking willing to move off the couch. It's like she wants to continue the conversation, test fate, see where it takes her. I would've actually liked to see them spend a couple more hours.


I practically smiled in Alexis' lines today. From her telling Drew to take care of himself, to her saying to Finn, "I feel sorry for him. No one wants to be the loser in a triangle." That's all that I needed to hear. Even those not a fan of Jason know what is coming. Thanks Alexis.

Oh Finn in trying to brush off everything he had with Anna by saying they "didn't even have a real relationship." But yet he turns around and says, "I do have feelings for Anna. If I could shut them down..." In return, I wish he'd just act on them because Anna needs someone like Finn in her life.

But instead, we know what happened with Finn and Alexis instead. Really, it's good karma in having Julian catch Alexis making out with Finn. I mean, it's like look at what you lost by holding that dagger to her throat.

Julian did earn some points with me today. The nicely dropped Nurse's ball hint to Kim with Drew standing right there was a great move. I mean, he may be an ass, but he can redeem himself a little by playing #krew cupid here. Those hints are perfect.

"Maybe they'll meet up somewhere and sparks will fly...." "Now you're reaching." "You never know until you make the first move..."  And yet look at what has been happening with each #krew meeting. Oscar's going to get his wish soon.

So this whole conversation between Jordan and Curtis came out of nowhere. Like, how did we go from "I don't know if we can trust each other but yes we have chemistry" to "let's get married" in the span of a couple months. Can we skip over this, please?

General Hospital - April 24, 2018 Episode Reflections

So Ava finds more ways to tick me off everyday, but hey - it was a decent episode. 

So it's great that Griffin is overhearing Ava with Scott. He may open his eyes, because he even asked her afterwards, "Are you sure this is the wisest tactic?"  Of course, the next set of lines produced the best reaction yet.....

"Penalizing Mr. Corbin will just add to his suffering, and Sonny's family's suffering." "Do you think I give a damn about Sonny's suffering?" 

It's only a matter of time until Griffin walks away because he was even pleading with her already in saying, "Ava, find some compassion...." But we all know that's like asking for a miracle because that'll never happen. A cow will fly over the moon first.

I wanted to punch Ava when she brought up Morgan in saying, "So Morgan missed a couple doses of Lithium. It doesn't mean anything to do with the bomb in Julian's car." If you think about it, Morgan never would've gotten in the car because he wouldn't be off his meds if not for Ava. But good try in shifting responsibility there. Besides, Sonny did not plant the bomb. Didn't we spend enough time to remember that?

Griffin continued to show signs of opened eyes in asking, "After all the times you talked about being a better person, are you willing to risk Mr. Corbin's well being?" Ava talks the talk, but she'll never walk the walk. That's just who she is, even if she wants to justify it by saying, "It's a lot easier to be a saint when you're living in paradise. I happen to be living in the real world." But that still doesn't explain half of her decisions.

I forget who said it now but it's perfect in them saying, "It's not like Griffin is going to make you choose between him or your daughter." I wish he'd hook up with Kiki instead - and cue how they cut to Kiki next and Griffin carrying for her. That said, I can see Griffin figuring out the Kiki/Dr. Bensch situation based on that, too. Also, based on his annoying attitude and how much of a buttpain he was today, can I smack Dr. Bensch upside the head?

------

Once again, Nelle gets annoying with her dialogue as today's verse was, "I didn't want to make things worse with your mom." No, but you'll make her go insane.

Michael is right in saying that "it's going to take awhile before she takes her actions at face value." I hope she doesn't and actually suspects Nelle right now. That way, we can rid of this storyline and Nelle all together.

On the flip side, Michael saying "it's a surprise what people can look past when a child is a common interest" scares me. It makes me wonder what will come down the road once Michael finds out Nelle has been screwing with Carly. He better not easily forgive her. That said, I sympathize with Michael's stance on wanting to avoid a custody battle, given his own situation growing up dealing with Carly and AJ.

----

"You do well to forget me." "That's not going to happen." You don't turn your back on family - ever. That said, Mike and Sonny are really hitting the feels again.....

Dante is right in saying "you know the longer he stays in that cell without anything familiar, the quicker he's going to slip away." That said, I feel bad for Mike, bad for Sonny, and Ava is the worse deceiving witch that we've ever met. I can see Sonny agreeing for Mike's sake, and it'll pain me....

-----

So how about that proposal from Curtis to Jordan? That came out of nowhere.....

PREVIEW

I practically smiled when Sam said, "Spinelli stranded us here on purposes." Does that surprise me? He saw the signs of chemistry brewing in the bank and wants to make good on it before they go home.  That said, Jason told him to stay out of it so could be seeing something that's not true.

General Hospital - April 23, 2018 Episode Reflections


"You can't just access a vault in a safe deposit box." "No, but you're going to do it for me." There goes Sam taking charge once again. And oh Jason, so good at taking orders, probably liking that his badass Queen is back.

"Some kind of touch pad and keypad..." "No no no - if you touch that, we are dead." Wanna take bets what they really wanna know is in that box? Glad Jason didn't touch it...  That said, cue how he went into instant protective mode over Sam as soon as Spinelli said that, too.


So there's a photo of Anna in the safe deposit box. If this is Caesar's box, did he leave that for Heinreck to know who mommy is? That said, given Anna's behavior, you'd be hoping that'd set off some alarms for Jason.

Also, the Cassadine family crest is on the safety deposit box. I see Valentine getting discovered asap given what he has shared with Anna.

Nicely done by Sam and Spinelli in covering their tracks. Love the arm-in-arm leaving the office. That was a well executed mission. But I don't know if I would've revealed the contents to Anna and Robert considering the secrets that Anna has and the fact she doesn't want Jason finding Heinreck.


Speaking of Anna, thank you for Robert for finally making Anna crack. It was actually getting a little annoying seeing the same thing over and over and over with Anna's secret. That said, when he commented in saying, "I'll agree to help you - as long as Heinreck never finds out your his mom," I was willing to chuckle. After all, we know how all secrets go....


Fact of the matter, Ava with her stunt for Avery makes her the biggest bitch that we've seen.

"Are you sure this is how you want to handle this?" "I'm protecting the welfare of my child. Aren't you with me on this?" Given her determination, Griffin should be beginning to see what we already know.

Ava knew as soon as she accused Mike that Sonny would do anything to keep daddy out of lock up or jail. She knew it'd get her time with Avery. That's what you call a manipulative bitch, but Griffin is too blind to see that. I mean, you could tell when he said, "You're obviously struggling with this, but I don't see why."

That said, Avery gets the last laugh today with her goodbye for Sonny and Carly. I mean, the look on Ava's face was everything.


So I sort of chuckled when Valentine said, "There's no chance of that. Nina is on to you..." Really, wouldn't that be for Valentine too as it's eventually going to come out that he was involved as well. That said, I'm just going to pretend Nina never did a dinner party because I'm not feeling anything there.

By the way, I'm getting sick of Nelle's repetitive line with "all I want, all I'm trying to do is give our baby the best life they can." But meanwhile I'm spending every waking minute torturing the hell out of Carly.

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...
