For weeks I predicted that GH's Claudia would miscarry, however I never could have predicted that she would not only blame Michael but actually seek revenge and attempt to use Jerry Jax to carry out that revenge. I know that Claudia has never been the most rational person. Her tendency to act before thinking gets her into more trouble than it gets her out of, but where is the logic in this plan? One might assume that it was Jerry, not Michael who caused Claudia's accident because out of everyone in Port Charles he had the most to gain from running her off the road. I am surprised that Claudia did not immediately reach this conclusion herself considering the lengthy game of cat and mouse that she and Jerry have been playing. It would not have even been necessary for Claudia to get pregnant in the first place had Jerry not been blackmailing her, so I was shocked that she would even think to rely on him to find Michael. She may as well tell Sonny she is responsible for Michael's shooting and get it over with, or better yet tell Carly because Sonny has not exactly been thinking clearly lately either. I could not believe the way he treated Michael when he found out that he might have been responsible for Claudia's accident. Even if Michael had caused the accident, which I seriously doubt he did, the fault ultimately lies with Sonny. Sonny is the one who purchased the car knowing that Michael is still having major impulse control issues. Moreover when did Michael learn to drive at all? He was not even old enough for a learner's permit when he went into the coma a year ago and now he is barely 16. Blaming Michael for any car accident would be like leaving your dog alone in a room full of food, then yelling at it for eating the food.
I doubt if I'm alone in saying that there is a lot wrong with General Hospital these days. While it continues to be one of my favorite soaps there are many changes I would make immediately if I had the power. Below is a list of the top ten suggestions I have for the way the show could improve. 1. The Claire/Sonny storyline needs to be dropped. It isn't working. Their conversations are boring and the context of their relationship is, well...icky. 2. Amp up Lisa's craziness. Despite my earlier distaste for a Robin/Patrick/Lisa triangle, the obsessed ex-girlfriend angle is working. It's interesting and very soapy. 3. Ronnie needs to be established as either a cop with a chip on his shoulder or someone who works for Franco. So far I haven't been able to tell whether Ronnie falls more on the side of good or bad because this character hasn't been clearly defined. 4. Brenda's life away from Port Charles and the people that surround it need to become an int...
