General Hospital - April 26, 2018 Episode Reflections

So was pretty good. The #Saxie scenes were everything (as always), and there's more layers added elsewhere.

 "We got bumped to an earlier flight." "We?" Let's face it - Alexis half-expected her to go on about Jason. But I love how Sam didn't want to detail too much about the trip to her mom. It's like she's afraid that she'll gush about Jason too much and everybody will know where her heart is headed - even if she's "not ready" yet.

"So it's you....and Jason....." "And Spinelli." Maxie is already putting the pieces together, too.

"People who would never sell out me for their career....like you, and Peter." "Peter? As in Peter August?"  Can we get Sam more suspicious of her employee? It'd go great with Jason's uncertainty so far. I mean, even the small revelation with, "there is clearly more to this Peter August than we thought." It'll be great to see when she learns that she hired the guy who blew her freaking life apart with storing Jason away for five years.

I wanted to smack Maxie when she said, "Yes, I miss the idea of having a best friend." Um hello - you're staring at your best friend right now Maxie. Anybody remember their fun times together? That said, Sam continues on with good advice for her friend in saying, "there's a difference between a screw up and malicious intent" in relation to Lulu. Are you speaking from experience there Sam? I mean, we know you made some mistakes in relation to your love life. That said, for wanting to avoid everything about her and all, Maxie played instant concern in seeing Lulu's foot.

So let's just repeat Sam in saying, "Aurora was Drew's dream - not mine. He wanted that for us together as a family, and clearly we're not there." Now if just trying to find herself, she'd be taking leave of absence. But totally stepping away says something else. And she confirmed that herself by saying, "When I was in Switzerland, I realized I don't want to be in fancy clothes behind a desk. I have a PI and I'm pretty damn good at it. That's what I want to focus on." We all could've seen that as she did a badass job. Hence why she wanted to continue looking into Heinrech.
Sam was also right in saying, "Anything we did take we'll be able to put to good use, and I will be able to sleep at night." Sam having answers about Heinrech and Caesar will make her feel better - because she'll get the answers to the pain that she was put through in having to be apart from Jason.
"I still haven't responded to the last e-mail. There's so much up in the air..." "Maybe a face-to-face meeting is a little too drastic." "Maybe...." It's working right into Peter's favor - sadly.

I roll my eyes in the constant remarks from Lulu, espically to Peter in saying stuff like "he wants the world to know that he was Faison's victim, not his puppet" or "you keep an open mind. You seem to know what drives a man like Heinrech." But for all intense purposes, Peter is playing his cards right with Lulu in relation to Heinrech and what he wants perceived. But is it really going to earn understanding and no bullet later? I don't know about going that far yet until I hear why he kept Jason for five years....

Instead, here we go with Lulu saying, "I just want to keep an open mind. I don't want to say if Heinrech is a villian or a hero - but he's probably like everyone else, somewhere in the middle." I'm also not buying her in saying, "No matter how bad Heinrech is, it isn't his fault. He didn't have a chance." But he did have a chance to reveal the truth and reasons and not play this secret game now, and he didn't do that. So therefore, there's no benefit of doubt in my mind.

------------

Nina is a bit self centered in telling Curtis, "When we have a chance and all this is done, I would love to have a chance to talk about marriage."

That said, I love how Valentine walked up into the conversation and seemed to be getting riled up for no reason here. He may blow his own cover. Even Nina suspected it in saying, "Why are you so interested in protecting Peter over Maxie?"  And for the record, Valentine's deterrents like, "I'm not going to fight you on this. I think you're looking for trouble where this isn't any" aren't going to work.

That said, I hope Curtis and Nina break the request from Valentine in saying, "If Curtis finds out anything that makes Peter whom he doesn't seem, then I want to know about it." We all know he wants to know so he can cover it up. Like Nina said, "I think in this case, the less you know the better...."

So of course Valentine calls Peter and tells him, "You need to call me. You have more trouble than you think you have." But really, I think it's the opposite Valentine as you now have to answer to Robert.

And then you have Nina helping Curtis. If Nina was setting up the office for Curtis to enter, why not just leave the dang door open for Curtis? I admit at first when the door opened, I thought it was Peter about to catch Curtis. But nope, it's Sam instead. Because of course, she had something to take care of - like announcing her Aurora departure. And I'm here for her asking, "Is there something about Peter that we don't know?"

---------

"We did one thing, right?" "We did a lot of things right..." Oh Anna and her regrets.

So the bureau has the box? I would've preferred that to stay in Jason and Spinelli's hands. Spinelli would've found a way into it.

"I wonder who would be able to get into the box." "I would think someone named Cassadine." So how long until Valentine's part is exposed, making sense how he was able to hand that tale over to Anna?

Instead, let's prolong this stuff by saying, "I think the box is for Helena" along with "putting Jason and Drew against each other, that's textbook Helena." Meanwhile, who was supposed to be scarier than Helena and work with her? Valentine. So is Anna only saying that to throw Robert off her trail in going to see Valentine?

But of course, she went to go see Alexis instead. I mean a dummy can see that given how much Valentine knows about Heinrech's birth, and the fact that he's a Cassadine, how does that not spell go see him? #GH

"So she's not worth fighting for?" "Oh she is...." Then fight for her Finn and stop having hunky dorry moments with Alexis.

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 - 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. πŸ’œπŸ’›πŸ’™❤️ . 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.

PREVIEWS

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 - 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...
