Lifting the Veil: GH

Things began to unravel on Thursday's General Hospital as Lucky decided to tell Nikolas the truth about Rebecca, Robin continued her investigation of Andrea Floyd, Kiefer revealed his true colors to Morgan, and Johnny witnessed a conversation between Olivia and Dante.

After having a conversation with Elizabeth, Lucky decided that he needed to tell Nikolas that Rebecca came to Port Charles in pursuit of Emily's fortune. Lucky's timing in revealing this information could not have been worse for Nikolas and Rebecca because Nikolas had just made the decision to introduce Spencer to Rebecca then take them on a trip to his native Greece. Speaking of Nikolas introducing Spencer to Rebecca, I thought the way he did that was a little odd. Anyone who has been watching GH since the Emily character was on there knows that Spencer and Emily were close so one would assume that he would need to be prepared before introducing him to her doppelganger. This idea obviously escaped Nikolas because he let Spencer stare at Rebecca for what seemed like an hour before Rebecca finally explained to him why she looked so much like Emily. Nice parenting Nikolas!

Robin decided to take Emma along to "help" in the investigation of Andrea Floyd, hoping that she would attract the attention of Mayor Floyd's neighbors, thereby providing an opportunity for them to share what they knew about the Mayor and his wife Andrea. After stopping in front of the Mayor's mansion Robin crossed paths with one of the Mayor's housekeepers who informs her that the Mayor and his wife had marital difficulties, citing that Andrea knew about the Mayor's affair with Brianna Hughes prior to her death.

Kristina's abusive boyfriend, Kiefer finally showed his true colors to someone other than Kristina and Molly. While Morgan was walking by the pier Kiefer confronted him about Kristina's whereabouts, even going so far as to shove Morgan into a rail when he denied knowing where Kristina was. That is when Dante showed up and pulled Kiefer off of Morgan warning him to stay away from him. Dante then drove Morgan home where he explained to Carly, and a visiting Olivia, what happened. I have to say I was kind of baffled by this scene because while Morgan was explaining to Carly what happened he referred to Kiefer as Kristina's boyfriend and called him by name. Carly should have immediately recognized Kiefer as the person Michael got into a fight with at the country club, yet she seemed to have no recollection of ever hearing about this person before. Having said that I really like the fact that GH is putting Dante in a lot of scenes with his half-siblings, it adds subtext to the storylines.

After being summoned by his father who insists that he choose between the Zaccharas and the Corinthos organizations, Johnny tells Spinelli that he wants his help in destroying his father's power once and for all. Following this meeting with Spinelli, Johnny somehow ends up in front of the same laundromat where Olivia and Dante, are having an intense conversation about his investigation into the Corinthos organization. Johnny later confronts Olivia about what he witnessed.

While watching Thursday's GH I was disappointed that I did not get to see what happened to Jason after Jerry shot him, but overall I think that this episode did a nice job of foreshadowing upcoming events.

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...

False Accusations: GH

When I watched Friday's GH I was positive Carly destroyed Brenda's wedding dress. She's been acting a little crazy lately anyway and I was sure that Michael's problems finally pushed her over the edge when I heard her conversation with Sonny. I'm sure there was a big part of her that thought it was in Michael's best interest to tell Sonny what happened to him. However it was clear that her primary motivation for talking to Sonny before Michael had a chance to was to make sure he blamed Dante. When that didn't happen she turned her attention to Brenda, implying that she would hurt Sonny, which would in turn hurt Michael. Of course Brenda hurting Sonny is primarily contingent on Carly telling him about Brenda's baby at the wedding. Carly is so worried about how Sonny's reaction to hearing this news will affect Michael, yet she is the one who insists on delivering it and in the worst possible way. Obviously Carly has issues with Brenda and with seeing ...
