Loose Lips: GH

I knew that it was only a matter of time before Lulu crossed the line and revealed Dante's secret. For weeks she has talked about his undercover assignment in the most inappropriate places as if she were hoping the wrong person would find out about it. And today someone finally overheard her. She told Dante that she had warned Johnny against trusting him, a statement that quickly provoked an argument. It was during this argument that Lulu blurted out everything Dante has worked so hard to keep hidden, including the fact that he is Olivia's son. Johnny, who had secretly overheard this argument, went to Olivia's where he confronted her about what he had heard. I have to say as annoyed as I am by Lulu, in fact I am dangerously close to hoping that Dante finds someone else, Olivia hasn't exactly been a walk in the park either. And today I was reminded of how ridiculous it has been for her to be so worried about Dante's safety when she has the power to ensure it. Months ago she gave Johnny the same warning that Lulu did today, to be cautious around Dominic. And today she told Johnny that Dominic had given her the picture of Claudia's lifeless body on the cabin floor. She even confided that Dominic thought Johnny might have taken the picture himself, an accusation she seemed to believe had merit. It seems to me that if she actually believed that Johnny was capable of doing something like that then the worst thing she could do is give him a reason to exact revenge on Dominic, or Dante as it were. Moreover, it is a waste of time for her to worry about Sonny killing Dante if she is going to give other members of his organization the incentive to do the same.

Elsewhere in Port Charles, Elizabeth continues to allow Lucky to make plans for their future, all the while fantasizing about Nikolas. Today that fantasy turned back into a reality after Nikolas broke up with Rebecca and showed up at Elizabeth's door. In fact things had already become quite intense between the two when Lucky arrived. Fortunately for Liz and Nikolas, Lucky is polite enough to knock before entering his fiancée's home, which will undoubtedly give Nikolas enough time to hide and Elizabeth time to find her shirt. After this incident I have to wonder why Liz bothered asking Lucky if he would mind using money from the sell of the house Jason bought her if she was just going to roll around on the floor of that same house with Nikolas an hour later. Furthermore, if Elizabeth does intend to sell the house Jason bought her it seems like she would need to give the money to him instead of spending it on building a house with another man. Granted, he did buy her that house in part because of Jake and would obviously not have a problem with her selling it to help give him a good life. However, one would think she would feel the need to at least tell him that she wanted to sell it. Then again her mind has been on a lot of other things lately.

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...
