The truth about Dante's identity was finally revealed on Tuesday's General Hospital, well sort of. Lulu overheard Dante and Ronnie talking on the pier, at which point she discovered that Dante is an undercover cop. Fortunately for Dante, Lulu will likely never remember making this discovery because, as it turned out, Lulu had been drugged during a Crimson photo shoot. Apparently she had mistakenly picked up someone else's drink, which just happened to contain a questionable substance. Strangely enough, Lulu obtained several moments of clarity while in this altered state. The first being when she deduced that Dante is an undercover cop, and the second when she admitted that she has feelings for him. Only on a soap can someone actually gain intelligence after being drugged. And only on a soap does an undercover cop meet with his superior in public every other day without expecting to get caught. How many close calls does Dante have to have before Ronnie finally tells him to just send his updates via e-mail?
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...
Can I just say that I love DanLu!?! I am glad that JMB is getting some action as she has been under utilized as of late. I had to laugh at your post..."she just happened to pick up the drink with a questionable substance"....I hope they elaborate on that a little. I mean was that simply so she could hear he was a cop and spend the night at his place??? I am curious to know who spiked the water at the photo shoot. Also, where was Maxie when her friend Lulu was falling over?? Weird but fun to watch DanLu in action!
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone not love DanLu? They are so cute together and there is far less angst there than there was when she was with Johnny. I'm glad that they are finally giving her a storyline too. She hasn't had much to do since breaking up with Johnny so it is good that they have found someone to place her into scenes with. I agree that they need to elaborate on what happened to her a little bit more. I'm not saying they need to create a full blown storyline out of it, but without a little bit of explaining those scenes seem a little too contrived. I wondered that about Maxie too. After I looked back at what she had said about Maxie's star potential, I thought so if Maxie was there how did she not realize Lulu had been drugged? Didn't anyone see her acting a little strange before she left the shoot? Moreover how did she ever make her way to the pier in that condition?
ReplyDeleteExactly! They have some explaining to do. Can't wait for tomorrows episode and your thoughts on it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi FutureTeach11!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to tomorrow's episode as well. There are all sorts of spoilers going around about it right now and I am anxious to see if any or all of it is true. Today's episode was definitely part 1 of a 2 or 3 part episode. It felt like it ended right in the middle of it, but I can't wait to write about what happens next! It should be a lot of fun!
