General Hospital: Perkie's Observations

I like that we’ve seen Luke with other characters, these past couple of days, in places other than Mexican bars.

I liked the Jax/Luke scene with a little Olivia thrown in and was annoyed when Sonny showed up and ordered them to leave so he could talk to Luke. However, I liked the Sonny/Luke scene as both actors always seem to work well together. And I got a laugh out of MB’s reaction when Tracy walked in and Luke started faking drunk. That seemed like a genuine laugh from MB.

I kind of like Jax and Olivia together. I could see them as a couple, if the writers take a couple of minutes to explain why she’s still living in town.

I wish Spinelli would tell Maxie how he feels about her, and I wish she would understand what he’s saying instead of seeing it as him being ‘nice’ to her. And I hate that we’re only two days into this living arrangement and already Maxie and Johnny have run into each other, half naked, with longing looks. I DO NOT want a Maxie/Johnny hook up. For one, it would hurt Spinelli way too much and for two, I don’t want to listen to Lulu’s shrieking about it. Also, they’re painting Johnny as this really nice guy who has serious feelings for Lulu, so for him to hurt her like that would be terrible, even if I don’t like Lulu.

Sam: OY. What can I say? I’m just going to leave it at that!

Jason/Claudia: That whole thing about how Sonny didn’t move against the Russians while they had Jake, so Jason should be grateful was such a load of crap. Sonny’s the one who set everything in motion with Karpov’s death, that caused Jake to be grabbed in the first place. Ugh. Claudia’s beginning to drink the kool aid and share a brain with Sonny and that’s starting to bother me.

I also loved the Luke scenes with other characters
I think It was goos idea!!!!!
It was so funny the look that Sonny gave when Tracy came, so great!!!!!!!!!!
Jason is geting on my nerves
He needs to stop with his stupid loyalty to Sonny, Sonny dosen't mind so why should Jason......
I think That Diane gave him the best advise , he should take the deal!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the scenes with Spixie and Jolu , they are fun to watch!!!
I also don't want to see Maxi with anyone else only with Spinelli.....
I just want her to know that Spinelli is in love with her...........................

Perkie you described exactly what I was thinking today. Smile What did you think of Jason's discussion with Diane about his conversation with the FBI agent?

Oh, Perkie.

Jax and Olivia would NEVER work. She has a child by Sonny. Jax doesn't have a good track record with women who have been with Sonny. Wink At this point, he needs to get with Maxie, Elizabeth, Bobbie, Nadine, Robin, Monica, Alice, or someone else who hasn't slept with Sonny.

I actually forgot all about Dante.  All I was thinking was that it's been at least 20 years since Olivia slept with Sonny, so she's cootie free!!!

As for that list, Maxie's too young.  Bobbie and Monica are too old.  Alice is the "help".  Robin's taken.  So that leaves Liz and Nadine, neither of which I can see with Jax.  Of well, I guess he'll have to go back to Carly, because I can't see any current guy on canvas for her.

Lulu always bugs me but she is wasted on Johnny, who I like. I cringed as Lulu was telling him about living in the real world and the necessities of food and water.

Who doesn't know about Jake? Claudia brought up Jake and Jason's girlfriend to Jason and clearly knows how important Jake is to Jason now and so does everyone else in PC. Did I miss the scenes when Elizabeth became Jason's girl?

The better question is who doesn't know and will Jake be any safer than he was before the kidnapping. I do not think so.

"Cootie free" - I love it!

I guess it is slim pickens for poor 'ole Jax. Well, if Sonny doesn't know he has a son then there was no paternity test unless someone yanked a strand of his hair or something else, so maybe it will turn out that Dante isn't his after all. In that case, she could be okay for Jax.

In all seriousness, I think poor Lucky and Jax need to get with a woman (not the same one) and father a child of their own. They have been around long enough to have accomplished this. They keep thinking they are having their own child only to find out it is someone else's.

I've had more than enough of Olivia. So what now she'd be a great pair with Jax? WTH. Where is Kate? It is despicable to see Olivia running around town period. Wasn't it her who was all up in Kate's grill about how dare she leave Bensonhurst in the first place. Why isn't she back there with her beloved son? Whatever.

Chrystie-D - i pray that dante is not sonny's kid - from your mouth...

have to say am liking johnny. but how immature did lulu seem yesterday when she couldn't believe johnny thought maxie is beautiful? i laughed when he said he loved her but still had eyes! lulu might be playing with the bigger kids but she still seems so high school.

we get it: sarah brown is awesome, but claudia is dangerously close to becoming carly. the parent issues of abandonment and a need for acceptance, the floozy factor, and now the continued "understanding" and love of sonny and her "relationship" with jason. why can't claudia be playing sonny and her dad? why must everyone sympathize with sonny? let her be an fbi mole - that's good story. i wouldn't mind a pregnancy there. claudia arrests her baby daddy then has to turn to mac or frank (ok that was his name of pc) for help. oh, a girl can dream...

LuvSkate: 

I agree, it doesn't make sense that Olivia is still here.  Didn't she have a job in Bensonhurst?  Wouldn't they need her to return to it?  If not, then that needs to be explained to the viewing public.  If she's sticking around, fine, but don't short change other female characters in exchange. 

If olivia is sticking around, there seems to be a limited amount of men for the current women. 

Eligible women:
Oliva
Kate
Carly
Alexis
Liz
Layla
Sam (assuming LuSam break up)

Eligible men:
Jax
Ric
Mac
Matt
Lucky (assuming LuSam break up)

blackjack:  That's the thing about Lulu, right now, she doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities.  And I'm not sure if that's a writing/directing choice or an actress choice, but they really need to tone down the shrewness and the childishness if they want viewers to be sympathetic to her.

I dont like a Jax Olivia pairing b/c it would be Jax getting with yet another one of SOnny's ex's. Jax needs to be w/a woman that has NO connection to Sonny. Jax is HOT/Rich/and a gentleman- he should have NO problem getting a woman who isnt somehow attached to Sonny. Between Brenda, Carly, Sam, even Courtney (Sonny's sister)- it's getting old. Am i missing anyone? Maybe Jax has the hots for Sonny and since he cant have him, he'll get his sloppy seconds.
BTW- I love Jax- i hate how they write him when it comes to woman. He was great with Sky, loved him w/V and Chloe too!

I really like all of the Luke scenes that we have been getting the past couple of days. We've seen him with a lot of people that he rarely has scenes with.

I don't think that I would like Olivia and Jax together as a couple but if the writer's would give it a try so would I.

Is it just me or does it seem like they are trying to make Johnny, Lulu, Maxie, and Spinelli into "The Four Musketeers 2.0" I know that they aren't all getting along right now but I think that's where they are headed. I don't mind Maxie, Lulu, and Johnny living together but I DON'T want them to even hint at a Johnny/Maxie coupling like they did yeasterday. They haven't even given Spixie a chance yet. They better not even try and go there.

I'm a HUGE Spixie fan, but even I have difficulty imagining how they could ever be a romantic couple without some serious rewrites on both sides.

Johnny, on the other hand, is exactly the type of guy that Maxie would work well with.

As far as the Four Musketeers 2.0, I don't necessarily have a problem with that. Spixie and JoLu are slightly older than the original four, but I feel like it would be nice to have strong friendships on the show that involved more than just 2 people. There are so few *friendships* on this show anymore - it's either couples or families, and the latter is practically an endangered species.

WSBAgent11:  Unfortunately, there are very few women who haven't been with Sonny that can be with Jax (or Nik or Ric or anyone else).  Liz, Layla, Maxie, Lulu, Diane and that's pretty much it.
