Hidden Dangers: GH

Brenda has been back on General Hospital for a while now and I have yet to say much of her return. This is primarily because I was waiting to see how everything would play out. In addition, a theory has been swirling around in my mind about the people in her life and I thought it necessary to watch a little more of the show to see if this theory would take shape.

The first day I saw Murphy's interaction with Brenda I thought "what if this guy isn't the nice guy he appears to be?" "what if he were responsible for the attempts on Brenda's life?" It would certainly add dimension to this character and provide an excuse for Brenda to leave him for good; but as I continued to watch the show I also thought "what if Murphy wasn't acting alone in placing Brenda in danger?" "what if Suzanne were somehow involved?" Both Murphy and Suzanne seem almost obsessive about Brenda's safety to the point of controlling her more than protecting her.




I am particularly suspicious about Brenda's latest attack last Friday. Suzanne left her alone, presumably without adequate protection, causing Brenda to be grabbed yet again. This only supports my theory that Suzanne is somehow involved in putting her in harm's way.




The timing of this latest attempt on Brenda's life came just moments after Suzanne told her she would need to leave Rome if anything else happened. This seems suspicious to me, like Suzanne arranged for Brenda to be scared into leaving, which begs the question "danger aside, what's in Rome that Suzanne wants Brenda away from?"  I also have suspicions regarding Murphy's statement about how the men that grabbed him just let him go. That outcome seems a little too convenient somehow, which only fuels my speculation that Murphy is not who he appears to be.




Again, these are just my personal theories. It is quite probable that all of my speculating will turn out to be a waste as it was with my elaborate CO77X theories. Although I'll have to admit if that storyline had gone the way I thought it would I wouldn't have spent the majority of my time watching GH in fast forward.

  1. Paula,

    Well, you know there have been actors in the past with "second careers" in spying, and other things. So it could be the case with Murphy. I thought the scene where he was grabbed and then the gun went off was either highly suspicious or bad writing. No one seemed alarmed after they heard the shot, and it looked like Brenda's attention span snapped. (okay I don't like her)

    I do find it odd that right after Suzanne gets Brenda to agree to leave, something happens. And Murphy keeps showing up at odd times, too.

    So do you think we'll find out who was snooping through Brenda's suite in the hoodie?

  2. Hi Peggy!

    I thought the same thing about the scene where he was grabbed. I couldn't tell at first if we were supposed to read something else into that or not. In fact I'm still not entirely sure what to think about it. And you are right Murphy does keep showing up at odd times.

    I think the guy that's been snooping around Brenda's suite is Franco, aka the Balkan. Just a thought! :)

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...

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...

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...
