A House of Cards: GH

On Monday's General Hospital Sam talked to Kristina about the importance of taking responsibility for her actions, while Jason tried to convince Michael to come home, telling him that he had proof he did not cause Claudia's accident. Ultimately Sam's conversation with Kristina was successful, but it took Kristina to convince Michael to come home.

Meanwhile in Port Charles, Claudia overheard Sonny and Alexis discussing their plans to cover-up the fact that Kristina was the one who ran her off the road. Claudia became furious, but hid her feelings from everyone except Johnny. She even managed to maintain her composure when Sonny told her that he and Alexis did not want Kristina to accept blame for the accident, proving once again that Claudia is more like her father than she realizes.

Sonny made another pivotal decision that same night when he decided to appoint Dominic, aka Dante, as a bodyguard for Michael and Morgan, primarily as a way of ensuring that Michael's impulses did not create problems. Jax, however, disagreed with this plan, causing Carly to wonder what he was keeping from her. The question Carly needs to ask herself at this point is what isn't he keeping from her?

Elsewhere, Kristina's abusive boyfriend continued to befriend Molly in an effort to find out information about Kristina. Alexis showed up in time to talk with Kiefer herself, who asked her if it was okay to continue seeing Kristina. And of course Alexis, being no better at judging character than her daughters, approved. This is not surprising though, considering that Kiefer told her everything she wanted to hear. He talked to her about his future, plans that involved going to Harvard and becoming a doctor. He then proceeded to talk to her about Michael's negative influence over Kristina, something Alexis had already remarked about to Sonny earlier.

Kiefer is beginning to behave exactly like someone with an abusive personality. First he made sure that Kristina relied on him by helping her cover-up the accident. She then felt indebted to him, even grateful, feelings that for Kristina easily overshadowed what it felt like when he hit her. Now he is attempting to drive a wedge between her and Michael, arguably the most influential person in her life, and the first person who saw him for what he really is.

10 Ways General Hospital Could Improve

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...

Darkness and Light: GH

Like many General Hospital fans, I watch the show everyday in a blissful state of denial, never acknowledging the fact that Sonny and Jason are criminals. I find it easy to denounce Mac when he is urging Maxie to stay away from Spinelli, and I cheer for Diane whenever she keeps someone from the Corinthos organization from going to prison. However, as I watched the events of the week unfold, knowing that they were inevitably going to lead to Dante's shooting, my rose-colored glasses came off and I quickly snapped back to reality. I found myself repulsed watching Jason standing in the church during Josslyn's christening, knowing that he had just signed Dante's death certificate without giving it a second thought. I was even repulsed by Spinelli, whose detective work set everything into motion. Moreover, I was sickened by his cavalier attitude regarding Dante's imminent demise, and the fact that he never showed an ounce of remorse or regret until Maxie told him that Lulu h...

Crazy Loves Company: GH

If ever there was a storyline or a character over utilized it would be the saga of Lisa Niles. I am both mentally and physically exhausted by the constant back and forth between Lisa & Robin, Lisa & Patrick, Robin & Patrick, and Robin & everyone else. Now new doctor Terrell has been thrown into the mix as another man powerless against Lisa's charms. It is difficult enough at this point to watch Lisa create a path of destruction all by herself, but now that she has help I'm not sure I have the energy to watch any more of her schemes. Lisa had the potential to be an intriguing soap villain; and for a while it seemed like she may have had the potential to be a redeemable villain (see Miss Diagnosis ). However her crazy behavior as well as the motivation behind this behavior is too much to grasp, particularly for someone who supposedly passed her psych evaluation at Shady Brook. Moreover it doesn't make sense that she could talk someone like Terrell into helping...
