Too Close for Comfort: GH

On Thursday's General Hospital Sam took Kristina to the clinic to get birth control pills. I won't even attempt to count how many things are wrong with that sentence. However, I do want to point out how disconcerting it was to hear Kristina drop hint after hint that Kiefer was pressuring her into having sex and Sam only telling her that she should wait until she is ready. Kristina already had the birth control in hand so obviously she is planning on doing this whether she is ready or not. Sam should have made a point to tell Kristina that if Kiefer was the right one for her he would not be pressuring her into doing something she was not ready to do. Moreover Sam should not be the one having this conversation with Kristina in the first place, Alexis should. Of course it is kind of difficult to be a mom to your own kids when you are busy trying to play mom to someone else's.

While Sam and Kristina were at the clinic, Alexis found Michael on the waterfront and took the opportunity to talk to him about his violent outbursts. She told him she was bothered by the fact that he hit Kiefer unprovoked and that she was afraid for Kristina and Molly to be around him. Fortunately Carly overheard most of this conversation and confronted Alexis herself. I just wish Carly had already had her baby at this point so she really could have put Alexis in her place. I am not a parent and even I know that one parent does not seek out the child of another parent to lecture them on their behavior. I wonder how Alexis would have handled Carly lecturing Kristina about Kiefer.

Elsewhere in Port Charles, Johnny told an all-too-happy Sonny that Olivia broke up with him, while Claudia headed over to the Metro Court to take another shot at seducing Dante. Having already been forced to wear a wire, Dante was instructed by Sonny to take some papers to Olivia at the Metro Court, where Claudia was already in her hotel room. Claudia called Dante and told him to meet her there, which he did without a moment's hesitation. Minutes later Sonny arrived at the Metro Court to talk to Olivia about her break-up with Johnny. Now just to keep this straight in my own mind, Claudia is seducing someone who is not only her stepson, but also the son of the woman who is barely the ex-girlfriend of her brother. Perhaps Claudia should consider venturing a little further outside her own gene pool before trying to get pregnant.

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 ...
