General Hospital: Perkie's Observations

Did we finally figure out what Sonny does for a living today?
Dominic said "Smuggling, extortion, murder".
But smuggling what?
Sonny said he doesn't deal with drugs or guns.
Maybe he keeps Jason supplied with his lifetime supply of black t-shirts.
Has Alexis seen Kristina yet?
Loved the flashbacks and nods to history ...boxcar, etc.

The Alexis / Jasam scene was priceless. And I loved how both Sam and Alexis didn't acknowledge the fact that Jason said "There's another door over there" twice. Ahah I thought it was cute scene b/w them

I like Liz and I get her dilemma but she needs to stop blaming Nik about what's going on b/w the two of them because it is just as much as her fault as it is his. She never takes blame for anything she does, she always has to put it on others. Especially when it comes to sleeping with people. Take responsibility Liz!

I love Lulu & Dante. So cute together and they click really well. I like that she is so torn b/w Dante's secret and whether or not she should tell Sonny.

GH is getting really good lately! Very excited for what's to come

I so agree with you, the Dante/Lulu story line is breaking my heart. They were so cute together and now it's turned into this twisted dance where he needs to placate her so she doesn't blow his cover. She, in turn, thinks she has the power to save Sonny - after all, he's been nice to her and he's her dad's friend, and if Sonny kills Dante...but she's in denial on that score. I hate the way this is being written. I don't see a way out for Dante and that means we lose this wonderful, talented actor - how sad.

Perkie this isn't the first flashback they've shown. Last week I think we saw them during their first marriage ceremony but I love the flashbacks.

As for Nikolas, all I can say is what an ass!

I can see that Michael is going to be a big problem. It's like that old adage "your eyes are bigger than your stomach". He sees the power Sonny has, wants it, thinks he deserves it and that he's ready to take over but clearly this seventeen year old is way out of his leage. He's a spoiled rotten brat, arrogant, immature and brain damaged. I know that Carly and Jason see that he's heading in the wrong direction and I think Sonny does as well. Sadly I think Michael will do whatever he can to show Sonny that he's ready to take over the business. But the actor is doing an excellent job.

I'm not sure about the Lulu/Dante storyline either but it looks like JB is trying to keep it light and teasing rather then serious and depressing. We'll see how it plays out.

Jason and Sam's making out was spur of the moment and clearly not planned. I loved Jason pointing out the second door several times!

I have to wonder why the writers are making Nikolas act like a huge ass!! The Nik-of-olde would at least have the decency to feel guilting about sleeping with his brother's girl. On the plus side though, they are finally writing Liz as torn between the two boys. I finally see her as still having strong feelings for Lucky. It's about time!! It gives me hope for LnL2.

I was glad that today was the day that everything stopped being Jax's fault. To see some of the blame placed with Sonny and Claudia was a nice change. Also, glad to see Jax groveling instead of defending his point.

I want Dante to get angry with Lulu for constantly bringing up his undercover status. It's a serious matter and very dangerous and she is acting like a little twit with all this info. Also, watching such a serious matter brushed off as light cutsy flirting was disturbing and I don't think I can support a Dante/Lulu pairing anymore (if this is how she acts and if this is how he handles her). Lulu is quickly loosing all that ground she has gained recently in regards to my tolerance of her.

Loved, loved, LOVED watching Jason tell Sonny that it's not all about him. Was anybody else a little disgusted at how Sonny handled Carly and got her out of his house without Michael?

I hoped that it's brought to Michael's attention that even though he'll be able to make his own decisions soon, if his father won't let him in the business, how exactly does he plan on being a mobster. Think it through, dude.

I posted this in yesterdays thread - watched early and was too excited not to post

Do you all remember the scene about a year ago - Eliesalot and Jason hadnt been intimate in a while, she came over and demanded that they get busy, and they made their way upstairs (I think this was the only time she made it to his bedroom) Anyhow they were heading towards nookie nookie when Carly accidentally barged in crying. Jason looked at the door, looked at lizard, lizard said GO, and he said, I'm sorry and was off like a light.

Today, in the midst of michael killing claudia, Carly's marriage on the rocks etc. Carly calls, Jason is kissing Sam, but not leading anywhere, and yet he goes to ignore the call. Then Sam tells him to be there for her and he says BUT and then he kisses her again and she insists he go, he again stops and says but will you be here or something to that effect.

Doesnt that just answer the question of who the love of Jason's life is REALLY.

And for all those on the Jax side of things, couple of things...first, props to Carly because we saw today that nobody got a pass on this thing - she IS in fact hurt and concerned by sonny's actions too. second, props to Sonny for sending Michael back to Carly's and I agree with Samrocks, he is right about AZ going after Michael if he could - this is after all the guy that went after Kristina last year when she was still five LOL. and third, if Jax had said what he said today right from the start I dont think he would have been kicked out of the house.

PUKEalaus - accent on the PUKE
eLIESalot - accent on the LIES

Poor Lucky, how they could treat him this way, I will never know.

LOVE Lante.

Oh and THERES ANOTHER DOOR. TOO FUNNY

wow...Nik, Douchebag much? His arrogance never ceases to amaze me.
Your funny line of the day was my funny line of the day. Glad Jasam are getting scenes that don't involve trying to kill people. Alexis/Jasam scenes were cute. Lulu should stop lording the secret over Dante, if she was gonna tell, she would've done that by now.
I'm not even gonna TRY to open the Elizabeth can of worms, because it's way too easy.
My countdown to James Franco begins...NOW!!

Ok JaSam how cute was that ......
The all scenes was funny and really cute
alexis didn't know what to say she even says do your thing and pretend
I am not here ..
Alexis and Sam don't listen when Jason says there is another door and he did twice ...
Alexis and Sam acted so much the same . like a real mother and daughter..
and when Alexis left Jason couldn't stop laughing and that is something he don't usually do, Sam bring him light in to his life ...
and EET he did chose Sam over Carly he didn't want to answer the phone , and he chose who he really wants- Sam .......
I love that he put some sense in Sonny he realize that Michael will only get how good is the mob , Jason and Carly and now Sonny realize Michael wants to be a mini mobster ....
and Sonny did listen .....
Jax got in but he soon get out when she finds out what he is up to , and how stupid he is , he just got a chance with Carly and is making this mistake .........
Carly also showed she is a good mother she let him in for her kids even though she is still mad at him ..
THAT BABY IS SO CUTE

Niz LnL 2 - Nick was acting totally cassadine and I don't know why? Lucky was always nice to him ...

Lante - I can understand Lulu Sonny was a good friend to her he cares for her, when her life was on the line because of Alcazar Sonny and Jason saved her life ..
I remember when she found out she is pregnant she confided with Sonny and he got her father back to help her , and when she was sick due to Logan's death he came to her at the hospital to see who she is doing
And lest not forget that Jason helped her ...
This is Lulu side

Lulu is an idiot! I wanted to slap the shrew down back in her. Cause I see its raising its ugly head again!

Nikolas is a jerk, Rebecca and Lucky are stumbling idiots, and Liz is just nasty. I thought the Olivia/Lulu/Dante confrontations were supposed to be very soapish moments but they just made Lulu seem morally unstable. After so much time in Port Charles the girl doesn't know good from bad. It kinda parallels the audience. After having him sold to us as a hero for years, can he really be that bad as a mobster? They seem to be going in the direction that he is. Maybe their going to use her to bring it full circle.

Wow sounds like LuLu is reverting a little to the girl I used to hate, please they are so cute together but I would hate it if she forces Dante's hand in any way.

Sound like two days of JaSam I won't skip through tonight when I watch the full week. Hmmm I have a few bottles of wine, a shot for every Liz Lie, a shot for every Sam primp of Jason, and a Shot for everytime I want to smack the taste out of Mini-mobster.

EET, while I think the dog is adorable, I for one did not know it was you until I saw PUKEalous. Like Daisy you should never change your Av I mean its like an institution and really when I see the lizard I know to avoid your posts LOL

EET: "Doesnt that just answer the question of who the love of Jason's life is REALLY."

I dunno EET. I think you're reaching. I don't think comparing Carly calling to Carly actually physically being there CRYING is fair. I can ignore phone calls from a friend, but I'd be pretty heartless to ignore a friend that's already in my apt and that's crying. Fact of the matter is, in both situations, both girls told him to go, and both times he did go. When he was with Liz, it was more understandable to go since he pretty much didn't have choice since the Carly was already there. With Sam, he could have just said No and continued kissing her. And as far as Liz "demanding" to get busy. That's pretty subjective too. But I'm not going to get into that.

Why are they making Lulu not likeable again? Why can't she just keep her mouth shut and see how it plays out? And whoever said that she'd be messing with Lucky trying to put Sason behind bars for years was right. How can Lulu ignore that too and be blinded to what Sonny does for a living?

Nikolas has gone to the darkside. He's a true Cassadine now, wanting what he wants and showing no guilt or remorse for hurting those that love and trust him. And I don't think Liz blames the whole thing on Nik. She's told Nik plenty of times that it takes two and she's to blame too. But the whole dinner situation was 100% Nik. He was there to ruin their night. She was about to tell Lucky the truth.

Purplerocks I am with you, also I think about the time Jason just up and yelled at Carly when she went on one of her tirades about Liz. Ahhh that was a fun day in my household. I never remember him ever doing that during his first stint with lust of his life.

All I see is one horndog and one puppydog, yet to see the love but maybe I will see something differnt when I watch this week.

Yeah yeah yeah another poster told me she skipped my faux "intellectual arguments" too but then the next day there was the poster discussing and debating. Besides, my Lizard might be an institution, but my dog was the greatest canine to ever live. :

Yep he did yell at Carly about how she is the mother of his child and that Jake cant be exposed. It always was a package deal

Lucky and Lulu never fought over SaSon
Lulu told him she saw the sweet side and good side in Jason ...
Lulu has a problem both Sonny and Jason helped her during bad times of her life it has to have some meaning ...
Just a thought ...

And about Jason yelling at Carly over Liz he also did it over Sam!!!!
Jason fights with Carly all the time over his girlfriends...
But with Sam there , he did wanted to put her first he said it couple of times ....

So disappointed in the wasted airtime for the Jason-Sam scenes from Thursday and Wednesday. Those/That scene adds nothing to anyone's story and doesn't even qualify as hot or comic relief. So glad I can fast forward such useless scenes.

Carly, Carly, Carly, you self-involved boob. Guess you don't remember the depression you suffered after Michael's birth. It was so bad you had to leave town and deposit your son with Jason to bond with and raise. With Morgan you were pretty much in a coma from a bullet to the brain put there by Sonny who made another error in judgment. Now with your daughter you kick your current husband out of the house because of decisions he made which MIGHT have been different from yours. Carly, you checked yourself out of the hospital despite your health issues which made your pregnancy risky. How freakin' stupid and arrogant can you get? Wise up, Carly or lose it all.

Carly kicked him out for lying to her and for allowing Michael to be hanging out with someone involved with his shooting. I dont know that really qualifies as a simple "difference of opinion". To me that makes it sound like he wanted a green duvet cover and she wanted a red one.

Lulu - I hate how the writers are going about this. Her earlier comments were about morgan and michael, now its all sonny is a family friend. I wish she would tell Dante how he tried to help her while she was in the sanitarium and then leave that as the sole pimping moment, she could say he has helped me and he is a family friend, BUT the big issue for me is the impact your investigation would have on my cousin and her sons.

I forgot something else I wanted to ask - for those of you with children. I have seen so much about how babies benefit from the sound of your voice, classical music etc while in utereo, so what do you all think of Jax talking about mommy's ex-husband and his violence to one day old Jocelyn? I know that is such a soap thing to do, but I hate it when they have charcters saying stuff like that to babies, but what do I know.

Why am I not surprised that there are JaSam fans on here trying to prove that Sam is Jason's one true love? Oh, that's right, because you do it every day. True love is obvious. You don't need to find examples that prove it or attempts to justify it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a fan of one couple over another but to be as obsessed as some JaSam fans are is just hilarious. I'm not sure Jason even has a true love. But if you are going to argue, at least be intelligent enough to realize that Liason never got their fair shot while JaSam is shoved down everyone's throats.

Of course there aren't going to be as many moments that Liason actually shared as a couple because they weren't given an opportunity. And for those that say Elizabeth isn't "strong enough" to handle Jason's life..actually Elizabeth is strong enough.. she just has morals and realizes that she has other people to think about in her life besides herself.

I actually loved JaSam the first time around when they first started and then they turned Sam into a pathetic, whiny, clingy woman. I do like this reincarnation better because Sam seems to be standing on her own too feet but the way she justifies everything Jason does to make him out to be a saint is kind of pathetic. Jason is a murderer. It doesn't matter that he kills "bad people" or does it to protect those he cares about.

Elizabeth is too good for Jason (even though I am not happy with her character at all because of how she is behaving). Sam suits him just fine because they are all too similar.

As for the actual show, I so wish that Dante would turn out to not be Sonny's. If every kid of his would have lived, he's have 5 of them with 5 different women (Lily, Olivia, Sam, Alexis, and Carly). I used to be a Sonny lover (big time) but each day I grow to loathe the character. The only time I really tolerated it was when he was with Kate.

As a huge Liason fan, do I believe that Jason loved Liz, yes without question and for me it has nothing to do with Jake. Jake just enhanced that love, and I will always believe that Liz and Jake are the Dream within a Dream moment.

With that said do I believe that Jason loves Sam, yes I do, but for me it doesn't take away from his feelings for Liz. Sam is just more equipped to handle Jason's lifestyle always has and for me its because Liz thinks of her kids in that respect. To me her cheating does not affect her kids because her kids only see her with "Daddy" Lucky.

I don't like this version of JaSam because of Jason, and until recently Sam's need to make Jason out to be a saint. I blame this all on Fruza for trying everything in his power to make me love this couple again..Sorry for me mission failed, they are dull and redundent

And to just clarify Jason has a true love...it's always been Sonny.

Sorry it just struck me as a stark contrast. I realize its all in how it was written, but I am not sure what else we have to base our opinions on other than what is written - whether its the great Sam vs. Liz debate or the Jax vs. Sonny debate or AJ vs. Jason, Kate vs. Olivia, Spinelli vs. Johnny or any of the other things we discuss around here. It comes down to what we see on our screens and the JaSam fans pointing out various things is no different than the J/L fans doing the same - how many times have there been posts about Jason saying he was going to kill Sam as just one example.

I dont quite understand why you are implying that I am not intelligent enough to appreciate your arguments, but whatever.

If we are going to talk would have could have should have scenarios with the writing, then the should have written Claudia differently so that they could have capitalized on the smoking hot chemistry between MB and SJB, they should have never added all that crap to Sam's back story to pimp J/L nor hould they have had Jason agree to lie to Sam, and they never should have written Kate off the canvas in favor of Olivia, and they never should have turned the talented SR's Jerry into a scumbag nor had white knight Jasper Jax cover up his horrific crimes (starting with the metro court). They should have found a way to bring on JJ without losing Greg Vaughan, they should have made Ethan a scorpio, they should have made Rebecca Emily, and they never should have let Tamara Braun, Genie Francis and Vanessa Marcil leave the canvas. And my list could go on.

I get that many Lizard fans want their gal paired with Jason, just like many Sam fans want her with Jason, and I do appreciate you feeling that they were never together as a married couple. That said, they shared a TON of screen time together and had most of two years as each others love interest. To say they never got a shot just isnt born out by the facts.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a fan of one couple over another but to be as obsessed as some JaSam fans are is just hilarious.

.............................................................
Whoa...Do we really wanna talk about fan's obsession of couples? That argument would never end, because I've seen a lot of Liason fans on here that are worse than Jasam fans.
Ugh..just when I think I'm done talking about this, u people pull me back in.

Oh, on a completely different note, Maxie has blond hair again, so I'm just gonna assume she's the one in the promo video with James Franco.

I was really enjoying the Dante/Lulu storyline despite the fact that I can't stomach Lulu on a good day, but now she knows the "truth" about Dominic and is acting like Lulu again. It's not a compliment. What the freak is wrong with this girl? Why is she lording this over Dante's head and seems to be enjoying it too. He's a cop. He's doing his job. He's not suppose to look the other way to all of Sonny's crimes just because he has friends and family. What about the friends and family of the people he took out? Dante shouldn't have to justify his job to Lulu or anyone. Lulu's always been a mob princess but her attitude is really disturbing to me especially because she obviously likes and respects Dante (unlike her Lucky). The attitude of this show is disturbing. Look after the gangsters, mobsters and thugs and threaten to turn in the cops.

I'm glad Chucky continues to live up to his name Michael Cornithos III. Jason, Carly and Sonny did this to Michael and now they have to live with the consequences. It's horrific to see a young man so far gone, but that's exactly what those three deserve.

SB_fan...the spoiler pics make it clear that Maxie is definitely the blond he shares scenes with.

Re: Loo...It took me a LONG time to get over my Loo hate, especially since it started way back when she bulldozed through Georgie and Dillon's relationship, and lasted through the incessant "JJOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNY" screams. At this point, I am almost *desperate* to give her the benefit of the doubt, and since she has only been annoying for 2-3 days, I'm just gonna put on my rose-colored glasses and pretend everything is okay, LOL.

Re: Liz...Did anyone else FLove Liz's dress from the other night!?!! I thought it was gorgeous.

EET...PLEASE change your avatar back to the lizard! It makes it easier for me to find your posts...so I can READ them - not SKIP them, that is.

I loved Liz ripping into Nik. But I am still a huge Niz and LnL2 fan. I love it all.

Why Lulu had to turn back into THE SHREW is beyond me. Lante were like a cool breeze. They were so cute. But now Lulu is like threatening to tell on Dante and she's laughing about it. Also good point about her brother. What if Lucky were the one to bring down Sonny. Would she be saying the same things.

Dexter Jr is just following the code that Sonny/Jason taught him. He's a serial killer who's a brat.

Please, for the love of GOD, don't turn LuLu back into ShrewLu.

Awww Samrocks....how bout I keep Murphy for a little bit. The orange Lizard may be iconic but Murphy is old school tfo. Plus it confuses Ravennite and thats kind of fun!! LOL

I got caught up with GH and I thought it was a pretty good week. I'm still disappointed in Claudia's exit and still unhappy about Michael killing her, but I'm curious to see where Michael's story is heading.

I thought the Alexis/JaSam scene was really funny. And of course, I loved everything JaSam this week But when is my girl getting her star necklace back???!

Warning: When Perkie's Obs for today's ep is posted I'm probably going to go OFF on the Liz/Rebecca scene. Liz's behavior in that scene is a perfect example of why I dislike her so much.

Daisy, I hate *any* scene where I am forced to root for Dumbecca.
