General Hospital: Perkie's Observations
Well, I did get my General Hospital Christmas wish with all the soapy goodness of the Scrubs wedding that I’ve waited so long for over the past two days. I guess that means I’ll have mob coal in my stocking for the rest of the year!
Loved all the Scorpio scenes and especially loved the flashbacks. Robin/Robert, Robin/Mac and Robin/Robert/Anna. Well done, show, well done. I especially loved the last one, with six year old Robin. It amazes me how little Kimberly McCullough has changed over the years.
I loved the Robert/Patrick heart to heart as well. Jason Thompson’s ability to show his emotions as Patrick is really amazing and totally draws me in.
I loved the Patrick/Matt and anything Maxie, although she could have toned down the doom and gloom talk just a smidge. I get where she was going and it was funny, but it got a bit tedious after awhile.
I was not happy with the Sonny/Patrick conversation. The Sonny/Robin one I could live with, as he was a big part of her life back then, but the other one bothered me. It was almost like Patrick needed Sonny’s permission to marry Robin and I just felt that with Mac, Anna and Robert looking out for Robin’s best interest in a parental way, there was no need to have Sonny go there.
I was glad to see Luke make it, but wondered why Lucky and Nikolas didn’t. They are good friends of Emily’s and Nadine and Layla are co-workers, as is Monica. Also, Elizabeth’s absence was glaring. They should have waited a week before sending Becky Herbst on vacation.
I wasn’t happy with Carly being “involved” in the Scrubs wedding day, in so much as it was Michael’s birthday. I don’t understand how she can sit at her comatose son’s bedside and forgive his father. That basically negates any growth and understanding she may have had when Michael was shot in the first place.
Interesting Sam/Jax, Sam/Lucky/Alexis (although far too brief Alexis) and Sam/Jason scenes.
I am not interested in a Claudia/Sonny hook up and it annoys me that she dismissed Ric’s interest in her.
Back to the best part of the past two days……..introducing……Mr. & Mrs. Patrick Drake! Please show, please let them be happy for longer than a minute.

Where the heck was Noah? I thought I read somewhere that he'd at least CALL Robin and Patrick on their wedding day...?
On a positive note, I ENJOYED the flashback scenes of the Scorpios!
ITA with you Perkie regarding the absence of Liz, Lucky, Nik etc., etc. at the Scrubs wedding. Also, couldn't Jax have stopped in for a second? He was always pretty close to Robin.
Hoping they don't Sora Michael, it was nice to see Dylan today (unfortunately in a coma, thanks Luza). Just think they would have to Sora a lot of kids if they Sora Michael, but this is GH and Luza doesn't whatever Luza wants!

Heartbroken Liason Fan . . . SIGH
GH has been really good of late. Loved the wedding and the clips (I almost thought robert was going to make his move with Anna. I hope that happens. AND his still ranks up there as the best of all loves puts to bed any remaining doubt whether the love of his love was anna or hollie awwwww)
Loved all the Sam stuff. She was so sweet to Jax. Also, good thing she is looking out for spinelli. On short scene with Jason and the chem was already off the charts again.
The Michael stuff broke my heart.
The only sour notes for me were matt being an ass to spinelli/the spixie stuff only happening in Spinelli's head and Sonny and Jason fighting on Michael's birthday.Jason knows what SOnny wants so what was the point of asking him to do something he has made it clear he wont do - plus it was a little smug to assume that Sonny doesnt remember michael's bday. On the flip side, why is sonny being an asshat. He could have clued Jason in on his concern that the Z's shot michael and Kate and easily could have offered to work WITH Jason to bring them down. Two grade school kids having a measuring contest. STUPID.
Loved the Robert and Anna stuff today . . . however, in agreement with everyone else . . . there were some glaring holes in the Scrubs wedding. Be that as it may, I was actually impressed to see a chapel filled with actual GH characters . . . particularly happy to see Edward . . . a little Quartermaine is better than none at all.
Loved the wedding it was GH at it best. Did we really need Sonny and Jason in the show no! Carly did not bother me. But yes the Liz,Layla and Monica needed to be there.
Reading this, I think I'm going to re-record GH and watch it again. I was trying to do too many things while watching it the first time around. Nevertheless, I can say that I truly hated Robin's dress. I much preferred the maternity bridal dress. The problem with this dress is that I hated all the ruffles. If it had fewer ruffles or, better yet, no ruffles, I think it would have been better.
I've heard that Robin is going to have a post-partum depression storyline and that it will be done right this time instead of the crappy way it was done when Carly gave birth to Michael all those years ago. If so, I don't know whether to be glad or cry (no pun intended). I learned to dislike Scrubs with a passion because they did nothing but argue for 99% of their courtship. They've only settled down since becoming engaged. Robin is just an annoying character as an adult, IMO, and the writers have not seen fit to change it. So, their continual fighting was more than annoying.
At any rate, depression can be expressed as anger and I honestly don't want to hear the Scorpio-Drakes going at it in every episode in which they make an appearance. I can watch some of their episodes now, though not all. If they start fighting again, I'll be FF'ing through them.
What's the deal with Edward and his constant wearing of that cap? Has John Ingle been sick?
John Ingle had some melanoma removed from his scalp, and is under doctor's orders to keep it covered for a while.
Thanks, BellaDonna. I figured it was probably something along those lines. Hope he's feeling better now!
