General Hospital: Perkie's Observations



Been busy the past few days, so my thoughts are brief...

I'm beginning to question Olivia's purpose on this show (and in this town!). She was invited to the wedding and she came, fine. Kate gets shot and she sticks around, fine. Now Kate's recovered and Olivia's all over the place, in everyone's mob business, like she knows what's going on. Does she not have a life to get back to? A job to get back to? Is she living here permanently now? If they needed someone to run around and tell Jason what to do, why not have Kate do it. Seems like Kate's character has become obsolete, especially since we never see her at work, nor Maxie or Lulu either.

As for Kate, I'm glad she didn't tell Sonny the secret (although how he didn't figure it out by what she was saying and Olivia's sudden appearance is beyond me). When Kate was off to tell Sonny, didn't she understand the repercusions of telling him? That everyone elses' lives would be changed as well? Dante, Olivia or the rest of the Falconieris? Seemed a bit selfish to be all about what Sonny should or shouldn't know.

Sam/Liz: They get sent away, by themselves, alone with no protection. Uhm, ok.

Sonny/Claudia: They're both way too happy about this marriage and I for one am not looking forward to another woman falling for Sonny because you know that's what Claudia's going to do. Johnny seems way angrier than a brother should be.

Jax/Carly/Nik: Ok, it's scary when Carly's the one making sense. I get that Jax is pissed at Nik's interest in the hotel but this seems to be going a bit too far.

While I appreciate Q/Lacey scenes, I'm not sure I appreciate Luke and Tracy having the exact same conversation for the eleventy billionth time. Let's write some fresh material, shall we?

Where on earth is Alexis?  She's the DA and the Russians are destroying the town, but she's nowhere to be seen.  Her boyfriend just got killed and she's nowhere to be found.  WTH?

Thanks Perkie for the observations.
I am always amaze by the courage it takes for people to watch that drivel.

6 months later, I am glad I got myself rid of GH as an addiction! Do I get a coin or something?
Now I see how awful and illogic it really is!

It really bugs me that I liked something Sonny did but that has to be my all time favorite marriage proposal ever. Too funny.

THe whole Sam and Liz are in danger so it seems like a great idea to send them off alone into the woods where cell phones will not work and they have to protect two small children by themselves business is exceptionally stupid. GH has actually topped their all time dumbest plot points. That is really saying something. I wonder if they will get an award.

COmpletely agree sueboo on the Sam/Liz story. This story is so dumb. Thankfully those kids are so darn cute I just have to watch them.

Lucky was supposed to go with Sam and Liz, but called away for work. That is what Liz told Jason on the phone.

Yes, I know. Lucky said he would make sure that they arrived safely at the cabin and Jason left him in charge, and then Lucky ditched them.

Ok, I will admit that I did chuckle a little at Sonny's proposal, especially the tossing of the ring box. But then I felt dirty about it!!!

Since Sam knew that cell phones didn't work in that area, since she and Lucky had just spent some time at that cabin, then why was that the place to go? And of course Lucky will get called to work, all helll is breaking loose between the mob families. Silly writing.

I liked fridays eppy, minor plot holes and all. Shocking isn't it, to have someone write a positive reply now a days. Lighten up people.

I love MB and SB together, they still got it.

I guess you can call them minor plot holes as long as you realize that convoys of trucks can be driven through them.

I felt really dirty laughing at Sonny too.
