General Hospital - April 20, 2018 Episode Reflections

So when Sam said, "Oh my mother doesn't let me travel without protection. Just pretend he is not here" about Jason, let's face it - I couldn't do that. But look at Sam, falling right back into usual self in deceiving people, playing her cards to get Intel and places. Glad my girl is back.
I also smiled when Spinelli said, "I'm the jackal, and you, and your bank, are my mercy." Gosh it feels nice to see Spinelli back up to his old tricks. He's still a master at breaking every security code and as the guy said, "the bank ain't ever been robbed." Well, it hasn't met the dream team - "until today." Also, notice the smile from Sam in her glance to Jason? Notice Jason's small smile despite keeping cover?
"He can't" "He can, and he will - if we don't get your full co-operation." Sam certainly hasn't lost her touch and you know what happens when you issue Spinelli a challenge. I will say until Jason spoke, it was interesting in watching Jackal and Sam take charge for a change.

As soon as I saw the scene, it was like can we please see that photo that they're looking at? I want to know what Peter used.

So cue the spoiler.... - Welp, we had to know it was a fake photo so good job Spinelli. And if I was that fool, I would start talking because they will get what they want regardless.

So my heart breaks in hearing Carly's desperation with, "Do you think this is just going on in my head?" "What other explanation is there?" Like how can nobody wonder that someone is messing with her?

"Someone is messing with me." "We don't have proof." So? What happened to trust and belief forever and always in your wife, Sonny? People wonder why Carly always turns to Jason instead and this is why right here.

"You really think I'm losing my grip on reality?" "It wouldn't be the first time..." Oh Sonny, that was the worst choice of wording.

Ava making Sonny decide between Avery and Mike, and whether to press charges, is purely evil. I can't believe Griffin isn't even saying a word here. Like, really? Where's your compassion bitch? But oh wait - Griffin has a voice after all. But gotta love Ava and changing for the better - and now turning back to her witchy uncompassionate ways. When will Griffin see the truth? Probably never, just like Liz and Franco.

I rolled my eyes when Peter said, "It seems you can't shake me..." Oh Peter, are you trying to dig yourself a deeper hole? I also sort of went WTF when he said, "Heinreck could be more dangerous than you're giving him credit for." But yet you want people to see him in a good light for future.

So Anna is gonna get figured out and it didn't surprise when the teacher first said, "I can't answer your questions." Ah, of course. Hence why I always wanted to go with Jason's plan instead. Stupid privacy rules and goody two-shoes people.

Welp, the previews look just as awesome as today. From Robert knowing the truth to Spinelli saying, "touch that and we're dead." Can Monday hurry up?

General Hospital - April 19, 2018 Episode Reflections

"I can't imagine what they're going through." Franco should know all about a kidnapping after taking children previously, including Aiden and Avery.
So here we go again with Sam's husband asking how her sexual assaulter is. I still can't stand Drew's attitude.

That said, Kim and him need to get together. I smiled when Kim asked, "How are you? I've been worried - well, Oscar has been worried." Nice cover, Kim. But there's no hiding that Kim asked Drew on a chili date, using Oscar as a good excuse again. 💜💛💙❤️ . I also smiled when she said, "We should try and spend more time together. I mean, we are family."

Julian wins hero of the day in saying, "What if it is someone from your past? Just because we left the world, it doesn't mean they've forgotten for it."

Dante is right about Carly in saying it "sounds like a horror movie." So it's understandable that Carly has "been hiding things from me for months." I get Carly in not wanting to overworry Sonny, secrets are even worse. She should know that based on history. That said, I feel for her but it's so hard to believe this Carly tortured storyline due to not one person with knowledge suspecting Nelle. Like wtf?

So Sonny when you say, "I wanna believe you with all my heart," then believe it.

"Griffin said the tests were clear." "Well, that's good news." "Not really, considering you think I'm losing my mind." I feel for Carly...  So is this going to continue without answers until Jason gets home? I mean, he solves all her problems.

General Hospital - April 18, 2018 Episode Reflections

Nicely done by Anna, Robert and Emma at the school. They make a good team, as well. That said, I was shocked when Emma said, "I got what we wanted. Can we go now?" How? Is Emma some super genius of something?

Nina certainly has had quite the journey on General Hospital. Oh Peter, good luck in following her story, but maybe Nina feels if she confesses her entire life to Peter, he will reveal something. That said, her 21 questions for Peter was better. If you can survive her craze, you're good.

Not gonna hide the touch of pain in hearing Kiki say, "I'm supposed to shadowing Dr. Bensch. Too bad you couldn't take my place." I really feel for Kiki here. Great opportunity but worst circumstances. Like her friend said, "I kept wondering what I could've done more, and what the committee saw in you." I don't think you want to know what they saw. Oh the irony when he said, "They must've been looking for something more...." Oh don't worry, Dr. Bensch is.

I was like duh when Kiki asked, "Are you doing this because I rejected you?" Isn't it obvious? Any human would have compassion in this situation.

Cue rolling eyes at "How am I going to be the voice for all of these people?" Here comes Franco redemption attempt #4738. While good to see for sake of kids and Harvey sickness, no forgiveness given regarding what he did to Jason, Sam, Michael, and others. And why are Franco and Liz the only ones getting proper love scenes? Like, ewww x100.

General Hospital - April 17, 2018 Episode Reflections

"Swiss police just arrested Spinelli." "Woah, where are you going?" "To get him out of lockup." "And how do you plan on doing that?" But yet Sam is no longer badass. I mean, she even had her own plan in saying, "I will go. You can watch the kids. [...] I always have my fake ID, and I can pass myself off as his lawyer, girlfriend..."


So when Sam asked her mom, "Did that just happen?" I was ready for her to take her own mom through the cooker. I don't care that she "asked him nicely...."

"Assuming you don't get caught." "It's me, Spinelli, and Jason - and we don't get caught..." Here's to more badass days to come. Let's face it, they are the dream team with Jason as the muscle, Spinelli as the brains, and Sam as the kickass beauty.

I rolled my eyes when Alexis said, "It's even worse than I thought. Are you getting back with Jason?" Is there really anything wrong with that? Mommy should want true love. But I smiled when Sam said, "I'm not together with Jason. I'm not ready." She didn't deny it happening down the road. But you gotta love Alexis thinking worst of Jason. I can't trust her judgement considering she went back to a man who put a knife to her throat.

So Sam's words in saying, "I'm a PI and I'm good at it. I'm ready to be me, and do what I'm good at" proves what we've said about Drew.

"Isn't that what your heart desires?" "More than anything.." But we already knew that. He's just being the gentleman and biding his time. That said,  Jason once again hits all the heartfelt feelings in his words about Sam to Spinelli. Cue almost tears here. And yes, Spinelli is right. Sam wasn't whole without Jason, and she won't be whole until they're reunited.
Anybody see the grin when Sam asked, "Hey boys, need a ride?" My badass princess is back.

So Julian can suck a donkey in saying, "My money is on her getting back with Jason, and that's a shame, because Drew would be the best man for her and the kids." I'd rather Jason in my life than someone who would put a knife to his wife's neck.

Dante is right saying, "There's a fine line between supportive and manipulative" especially when one of them has a secret over the others.

So next story arc will be Ava using this situation with Mike & Avery to her advantage to attempt for custody of Avery, right?

General Hospital - April 16, 2018 Episode Reflections



Remember how the writers said fate would bring Jason and Sam back together? There were a bunch of references to that.
  • "You came looking for me?" "Nope" "But you found me anyway."
  • JASON: And here you are. /// SAM: Here we are. Here you are. 
  • "I spun the globe and told Danny to put his finger on it." 
My heart swelled when Sam said, "Jason I'm not going to pretend that you're not here as pretending got me into this mess in the first place. Do you want to tell me about the investigation?" Sam wouldn't let him walk away. It was nice to see her back to her true self, working with Jason to figure out the pieces.

"It could be in the same bank." "Right...." "How do we get in?" Ladies and Gentleman, Samantha McCall Morgan is back and badass as ever. And you thought she'd just calm down now. Hah.

I feel Sam in saying, "Why even bother going to schools first rather than the safe deposit box?" How about her and Jason just work together without Anna?

"Anna doesn't want me to search for Heinreck alone. She doesn't want me to find him before I do. She's afraid I'm going to shoot him." "Why is she worried?" "I don't know."  It is going to come our eventually especially with Robert pushing her buttons.

So are we really surprised Spinelli got arrested? 

So what is Michael thinking asking Nelle to a work function? That said, Nelle knowing about the DNA test results is a good thing. We may get somewhere. 

What the heck? I remember reading the note on the menu as well myself. Did Nelle use some screwed up disappearing ink? I absolutely hate Nelle and see no bloody reason for what she's doing or how it makes sense, but the house haunting and note are good... 

Sonny trying to put his own concerns and needs ahead of Mike and Avery safety is just wrong. That should be priority. Good on yeah, Michael. 

"I am capable of putting aside my personal feelings and moving ahead in a professional matter. The question is are you?" Oh lawdy, I love how Dr. Bensch is trying to make it seem as though nothing happened moving forward. But sorry - once a creep, always a creep. That person does a creepy thing and from then on, every time you look at them you are sick to your stomach. Trust me..... Hence my stomach flip flopping when he said, "I'm sorry that I make you feel uncomfortable." What else do you expect after kissing her?

That said, I worry about Dr. Bensch saying, "You're going to get a lot out of this - I promise." I'm not sure Kiki is interested in what you have to offer there. 

These Robert and Anna scenes are also gold. Love how he gets under her skin.

"I just want to make sure you're looking after yourself." "I'm fine." "I'm not selling you life insurance here." We need to reunite #fanna asap.

PREVIEWS

"Are you getting back together with Jason, or not?" So how does Alexis end up in Switzerland? And why is she still so stuck on them? She should know Sam's answer already

General Hospital - April 13, 2018 Episode Reflections

Anna suggesting a wardrobe change for Jason and how that scene played out had me chuckling. His deadpan response to her suggestions was everything. Then when she asked his size and he said, "I don't know. Ask Carly..." just took it to the next level. So I guess that means Jason hasn't gone shopping since Carly's initial spree for him? 

Well, he is a simple guy after all. But I'm curious as to what Anna bought, too - and hope the clothing bag gets opened and we see the outfit of choice, or get to see him wear it. Maybe Sam can convince him for Anna and Emma. 

For the record, though, Jason's plan to get the records sounds more exciting than Anna's idea. Can we switch gears please?  I mean, Jason is already on to her in saying, "This is just a diversion. You're just doing this to keep me with you so I don't get to Heinrech first." 

Also, not really important, but anybody notice the new gun for Jason? I kind of like the old shiny silver piece - you could really see his games coming. But of course - he'd have a new gun. You can't sneak guns through airport security so you go through, and get new hardware when you get there. But see also in this case, he'd be able to travel with it being with Anna as she could get it anywhere being a WSIB agent. 

So it's great to see Robert Scorpio back on the canvas of General Hospital, even with his concerns about Jason. I almost chuckled through that. But really, he's a bonus right now as you could tell he was getting curious in saying, "Let Morgan do the work. He's the one that needs the answers" and "you make it sound like Heinrech was a victim." 

Of course, Monday's preview says it all on that note with Anna saying, "I'm as every bit as responsible for creating Heinrech as Faison...." 


I admittedly chuckled in hearing Jason say, "How do we do this and only break one law?" Never change my man....
I could on for days as to why I love Jason and everything, but beyond those qualities that were mentioned, the simple heart and soul that he expresses, willing to do anything for his closest friends, putting their happiness always first will always make me a Jason Morgan fan over anybody else any day.

But okay, let's forget that for now and rather focus on the star of today's episode - the very last scene. Anybody see that damn smile on Jason's face when he saw Sam?

There's a reason why CarSon work so well together - because they're the ultimate Queen and King of Port Charles, and both Laura Wright and Maurice Benard do a spectacular job portraying their characters. Laura continued to slay like a queen as her scenes today in describing her previous mental breakdown, combined with those emotions, were just perfection. Then Maurice hit every sweet spot in his words to Stella. There's a reason why he gets gold stars from me everyday.

Really, beyond Maurice's work by himself, the storyline with Mike has been great from the beginning and his scenes with Avery were adorable. But of course, as expected, Avery goes missing. You could see that a mile away.

PREVIEW

That's a way to cliffhang! That's the type of previews that you expect to see and are finally getting delivered. I feel so bad for Carly, but can't wait for her scenes - as well as Sonny worrying about Mike and Avery, Robert and Anna, and then obviously JaSam.

General Hospital - April 12, 2018 Episode Reflections

So with Lulu going on to Peter saying, "I just thought if I could put a face to the name, put some meaning behind him, see whether he is evil like his father - it would give comfort to Maxie," I was begging for her to continue. If she finds out that the guy she has grown closest to is connected, she may be on the thank you for always being there best friend path.

But with that said, it's surprising that Peter wants her to continue the investigation, practically begging her to in fact. I mean, Lulu is right in one way in saying that "the sooner that the secret goes away about Heinrech, the better for Maxie" due to no discussion - in normal circumstances given the above, but whatever. So why are you pushing this issue, Peter?

As soon the e-mail showed up saying, "for if the root comes from both ends, forever the branch must be severed," you had to know something was up with it. Peter is good at covering his tracks with expressions because I almost believed Spinelli was behind it as part of the twisted plan. That said, we got confirmation otherwise. So what are Valentine and Peter going to do now?

Peter makes a point in saying, "Faison is dead. The only one left who can give you answers in Heinrech. You have to decide if further this investigation will be worth it for you and Nina." For me, I'd find it very, very worth it. Even if I had just five minutes with Heinrerch, I have a whole assortment of questions.

--------

I am loving the Mixie chemistry, and love the fact that Michael said that he would be there for Maxie, and that he wanted to go class with her. To be honest, the birthing class scene was even more adorable between Maxie and Michael. Why haven't we done this pairing sooner? I mean, Michael even hesitated in walking away from Maxie at the class. And the look on Nelle's face at watching them = priceless.

----------

So Ava actually earns smart points. She took a screen shot of the DNA test and was being smart in saying to Nelle, "keep in mind you're using deception" because yes, that small detail will screw Nelle in the end.

Nelle's twisted plan aside and what she did today, let's rather focus on the piece of paper that she wrote on. Immediately my heart swelled at a Chinese restaurant sighting. Anybody remember the magical #jasam wedding?
I wasn't surprised in Curtis' revelations for Nina. Of course Peter can use multi-national companies and hack into them - he has super spy Valentine at his disposal.

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...
