What Love Is: GH

The wait was finally over on Monday's General Hospital as Spixie fans finally got to see what happened after Spinelli told Maxie that he could not marry her. After Friday's episode, many fans, including myself, speculated that Maxie had changed her mind about marrying Spinelli and that the couple might actually tie the knot after all. This, however, did not happen. Instead the two declared their love for one another but concluded that this was not the right time for them to get married. This was a little disappointing, but in retrospect it was for the best because they would not have been getting married for the right reasons. Obviously they love each other, but this was not the primary motivation for their trip down the aisle. It was the fact that they were afraid of losing each other.

The failed nuptials came as a relief for Mac who passed out with a smile on his face upon realizing that the wedding had indeed been called off. And while Spixie may not have actually gotten married, they still exchanged vows and celebrated many other traditions usually reserved for successful weddings. They even received congratulations from their guests as they were pelted with bird seed. The celebration continued at the "non-wedding" reception at Jake's, where Robin arranged for Spixie to be serenaded by the wedding guests to Foreigner's ballad "I Want to Know What Love Is."

As it turned out Spixie's serenade was only the beginning of the celebration as many of the guests decided to take turns onstage for the second round of karaoke at Jake's. Ethan got things started by performing INXS's "I Need You Tonight." And while he received a lot of attention for his rendition, no one was more mesmerized than Kristina, who clearly has a crush on him, despite her controlling boyfriend Kiefer.

Later on Molly convinced Morgan to join her onstage to sing the classic Jackson 5 song "ABC." Their performance inspired the entire audience to join in dancing, including Alexis who allowed herself to have fun for the first time the entire night. Surprisingly, the one person who never had any trouble having fun at the reception was Mac, who performed The Village People's "Macho Man" with Patrick and Coleman. This performance even managed to win Coleman an unlikely admirer in Kate Howard, who had been the target of Coleman's advances all night. Spixie's 'non-wedding' certainly seemed to bring out a different side of Kate's personality because she was relaxed from the moment she arrived at the reception. It will be interesting to see if this new persona continues and if it will involve more interactions with Coleman.

While Spixie may not have pulled off a successful wedding, no one can argue with the success of their reception. In fact I have never seen wedding guests so happy about a wedding being cancelled. Spixie's happiness did not even seem to be hindered by the day's events as their reception came to a close and they shared a 'non-wedding' dance the moment everyone left. Spinelli even serenaded his fair Maximista with "I Want to Know What Love Is," the song that has somehow become their song.

All About Mia: DOOL

After months of allowing herself to be deceived and manipulated by Nicole and Stefano so that she could keep her baby's adoption intact, only to find out that said baby wasn't hers because her baby had died, one would think that Mia would have enough drama to last a lifetime. Instead it seems that she has picked up a few bad habits from Nicole because she has turned to manipulating Gabi in order to stake her claim on Chad, someone she didn't seem to want a few weeks ago. As if the Mia character wasn't irritating enough already, this newly calculative Mia is actually making me feel sorry for Gabi, which only makes her that much more irritating. I was stunned that she used Nicole's hearing as an opportunity to drive a wedge between Chad and Gabi, the same hearing that they were discussing her baby's death and the kidnapping of Will's baby sister. In doing this she not only undermined Will's importance in her life, but Sydney and Grace's as well...and p

Bad Goodbye: GH

Words cannot express how much I hate the way GH is writing Steve Burton out of the show. I realize his leaving sort of came as a surprise, but in my opinion they could have given him a better send off than the one he is getting. It feels extremely rushed and quite frankly a little convoluted. First of all we have Bernie with his sudden hand-wringing over something that supposedly happened almost a year ago; and he just has to meet Jason on the night he finally reunites with Sam...on the pier no less.  And don't even get me started on how Joe Scully and "Duke Lavery" are involved in all of this. Up until a few months ago Joe was an antiques dealer working in a little known shop that probably wasn't even being used as a front. In addition there is no way Jason would ever allow himself to be shot in the back. He would have looked around the pier to make sure he wasn't walking into an ambush before ever trying to talk to Bernie. However the most upsetting thing about
