CO77X Revisited: GH

In the weeks leading up to the introduction of the Franco character on General Hospital, viewers were treated to countless montages featuring the mysterious CO77X graffiti. Since then there has been non-stop speculation about the meaning behind this tag and how it may affect the course of the show. Recently there have been fewer CO77X sightings, but there have been several episodes featuring Franco so I thought it would be a good time to revisit CO77X in an effort to unlock this mystery.

This week Jason received a painting from Franco listing the seven deadly sins of vanity, envy, gluttony, lust, wrath, greed, and sloth. Seeing this made me wonder if one of the "7's" in CO77X represents these seven deadly sins. This may seem a bit obvious, but looking back on the scene where Franco is shooting red paint balls at the pictures of people close to Jason, there are seven people on the canvas besides Jason. Taking this one step further it seems logical to assume that Franco's agenda may include manipulating the people in Jason's life to represent these seven sins, with Maxie clearly representing lust.

  1. Paula,

    Good analogy but who do you think would represent gluttony? Carly and her cheese puffs?

  2. Hi Peggy!

    LOL! Could be! I wondered if maybe he might work a different angle with gluttony and perhaps sloth. Like maybe someone could be considered a glutton for things other than food.Just a thought, I'm still trying to figure out what possible sin everyone could represent and how Franco might make them exhibit that. Any thoughts?

  3. I could only pick out Sam, Sonny, Carly, Spinelli and Maxie.

    Based on Franco's interaction with everyone so far, I can see

    Sonny = wrath
    Carly = gluttony
    Spinelli = envy
    Maxie = lust
    Sam = vanity
    ? = greed
    ? = sloth

    Sorry can't be more illuminating here.

  4. Hi Peggy!

    Michael could be wrath because of Claudia and Sonny could be greed. I'm not sure about sloth though. I'm actually not sure how I would categorize Morgan at all because he isn't on enough for me to know much about his personality. Michael could also fall under the category of envy because he idolizes Sonny. This is fun, kind of like a puzzle. lol!

  5. Paula,

    Yes, I thought of Michael as wrath when I was removing cat from lap so I could turn off the p.c. and go to bed. I've got the claw marks to prove it, too.

    So then
    Michael - Wrath
    Sonny - Greed
    Claudia - Envy
    Carly - Gluttony
    Maxie - Lust
    Sam - Vanity
    Spinelli - Sloth? Because when he wears his hair in his eyes he looks like one (and when I say that I mean in a cute, attractive, cuddly way)

  6. Hi Peggy!

    Ouch! :) LOL! I love Spinelli, but I totally get what you are saying about the sloth thing. Also if you didn't know anything about his personality and just saw him, his personal style would immediately make you think "slacker" because he has that just-rolled-out-of-bed look. lol! I also thought that Carly might fall under the sloth category too because she is so dependent on Jason. I'm still having trouble with categorizing Morgan though. Like I said they don't show him enough for me to have a firm handle on his personality. Of course I guess it depends on how someone like Franco might perceive him.

  7. Hi Paula,

    I read this post last Thursday and I thought back to it again today while watching GH when Spinelli & Maxie were looking at the painting.
    I think you're theory is really interesting and very creative. I vote Nikolas as the sloth!

  8. Hi Michele!

    Thanks for commenting and for the compliment!Yeah we should see very soon whether my theory has any merit, or if it is just the product of an overactive imagination! lol! And you are right, out of all the people in Port Charles Nikolas would definitely be considered the sloth! :)

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
