General Hospital: Perkie's Observations



It's good to see Sonny’s ego is as big as ever. “No cop has gotten me and none will”. I had to laugh that he was saying this, to a cop, who’s gathering evidence as we speak. Then he follows it up by giving Dante the picture of dead Claudia and telling him that she is in fact, dead.

Sonny did give me the line of the day. Something about Claudia still messing with them, even beyond the grave. Score one for Claudia!

I wanted Dante to smack Lulu, not kiss her. She just doesn’t get it.

Liz is another one that’s making me angry. She begs Luke not to say anything to Lucky and then runs to Nikolas for the eight millionth time.

Luke should have told Lucky the truth, rather than spend five minutes beating around the bush. Lucky’s going to be ticked that Luke knew the truth and didn’t say anything.

I was upset that Maxie lied to Lucky about not seeing Sonny the night of the murder, but I liked the Maxie/Spinelli scene where she gets upset with him for not taking her or her career seriously.

Having the fake Claudia open her eyes and talk was rather creepy.

I loved seeing Scrubs enjoying themselves with Matt, Mac and Coleman, but I didn’t like the inclusion of Louise or the heavy handed way they’re throwing invisible “Lisa” into the mix.

I haven't seen this one yet I find GH for the most part unwatchable so I'll get to it before the weeks out... LoL

I cannot believe Lulu is sooo clueless. She has be around mob stuff all her life. She should have known that that veiled conversation with Sonny would make him think she was talking about Lucky, not Dante. As for the kiss, I would hope Dante (knowing that she's into him) would stomp all over her heart. Alas, he is such a gentlemen...

I don't agree with you regarding Luke and Lucky - he can only lose by getting between Lucky and Liz. No matter what the outcome, he'll be the bad guy. People in love do not want to hear, nor will they believe, the truth.

BooLoo - grrrr!

How dare they ruin my Scrubs time two minutes in by bringing up Lisa. Hate her already, and she hasn't even made an appearance. Say hello, Layla 2.0.

I said yesterday how I feel about Lulu's actions so I won't repeat myself.

I feel really bad for Lucky and I feel bad for Luke too. He wants to tell Lucky so badly but he knows either way that his son is going to be really hurt. Really hating Liz and Nik!

Loved the scrubs scene with all the guys but not Louise.

It's interesting that neither Jason or Spinelli noticed that the "cabin scene" was staged and not the real cabin. But having the details so perfect right down to the baby basket does mean Franco had to have been watching.

How creepy was it when "Claudia" opened her eyes and talked and then got up? This storyline line is still looking really good.

Does anyone know why the writers have taken BooLoo from awesome to awFUL in less than a week? [Serious question.]

*Is her contract up soon? That would explain why they want us to hate her. For their next act, perhaps TPTB could "Jerry" her. There's definitely no coming back from that!

*Is LLC's contract up soon? Maybe TPTB are positioning her to be the next oLIEvia FalcoNOSY.

*Are they setting up for the dumbification (yeah, I did it - I totally made up a word) of Dom so he can take his rightful place as heir to the mob throne?

*Are they too busy returning Maxie to "awesome" status that they don't have enough mental stamina to write for BooLoo as well?

*Are they giving Dom a new love interest, so they're phasing BooLoo out by making us hate her so much we won't even miss her?

If anyone else has theories, I would love to hear them!

I don't know samRocks..........
Question why do they need to destroy Scrubs happiness??????
I hate the entire scenes yesterday , I did enjoy the men together that was so normal and I love seeing more Coleman this days he brings something to the the show...
But I didn't love Patrick ignoring Robin and asking her to take picture with that woman forget the name LOL it was so not Patrick !!!!!!!
Why does A story about a couple needs to be angst? , they could had a medical story were both are dealing with it and it could be back to GH...
Scrubs are great couple and I love them when they are normal and fun... they were not that boring ..........
the same goes with Spixie I didn't get the scenes between them on friday and yesterday
Maxi and Spinelli respect each other jobs so what the hell was that???

Sonny yeaa I love his big ego..
Liz hate so much she is talking with Luke and than talking with Nick???
And she should tell Lucky she can't keep it up look what happened last time ...
Luck is a really in a big mess it is a lose lose situation ...
And something else that bothers me both Luke and Lucky never talked about Lucky job to arrest Sonny so were it is coming from ????

Was that pick staged ?? it doesn't matter because who took it knew exactly what was there??

and that scenes when Claudia look alike talk freaked me so much GH got what they wanted
And Jason looked hot at the pictures that were taken loved the close up to his beautiful blue eyes !!!!

Hmmm I have to keep my posts short, as I just promised samrocks so "lizard sucks, maxie rules" (okay I cheated but Carly wasnt on today and Sam was just on a little and well Maxie is awesome) if I wasnt trying to go short, I would tell you why and how annoying nik remains LOL and how frustrating it is as a GV fan to see TG suddenly now participating in the lucky/luke scenes.

I don't think Lucky will be upset with Luke. He knows luke doesn't like to get in his kid's business so he might be grateful that Luke was trying to warn him. Anyhoo, loved those Luke/Lucky scenes.

I also loved the Liz/Luke scenes. Basically Liz was telling Luke not to tell Lucky since she has betrayed him before that he may never forgive her and she's afraid of that.

But that Niz scene was so short yet so freakin hot.

I hate Lulu. Why do all this to make her likable just to turn her back into the SHREW. I don't want Dante anywhere around her.

Thank goodness there hasn't been any Olivia

I have a hard time thinking that the daughter of Frisco and Felicia Jones, the stepdaughter of Mac Scorpio, is not telling the cops what she saw that night. Did her upbringing disappear as soon as she met Spinelli..who she's always defending to Mac as being an upstanding citizen. Other than Spinelli, what is Maxie's connection to Sonny??? What does she owe Sonny? And it's not fear that prevents her from spilling her guts (well, not until Johnny said some stuff...)

It's this whole... bad is good and good is bad that I thought they were turning on its side...but still has an overwhelming effect on the show's characters. She's from a family of cops, agents and private eyes...why can't they write her with family loyalty instead of mob loyalty?

O.k. well I had this long post and my computer froze so now I have to start all over again...damnit.

Well I do agree with Perkie that Lucky is going to be angry with Luke for not telling him the truth. I don't think he has a right to be. Luke is trying to get him to open his eyes and see that there is something not right with Liz.

And Liz...where do I begin with her. First she begs Luke not to tell Lucky but then she goes running to Nik. She doesn't want Nik telling Lucky. She justs want to keep her lies under wraps. Plus when she told Nik that the only reason Nikolas wants to tell Lucky is so Lucky will leave her and she'll go running to Nik and they can have sex for days. I mean they are already having sex so Lucky leaving her is not going to make a difference. I hope when Lucky finds out he leaves her for good.

About Sonny yes it is true he's never been brought down and I don't think he will. I seriously don't think that Domte is going to take him down. He'll find out that Sonny's his dad and it will get in the way of the case.

Liked the Scrubs scene with the guys but also am not liking this Lisa person. I can tell she is going to bring some problems for Scrubs.

I also was spooked when the fake Claudia talked. Well we know that JF is going to be the artist that Kate is having a show for. Can't wait to see how this s/l plays out.

GH LOVER - They're causing angst with the scrubs couple because KM wants to quit acting next year. She wants to do more directing and other things and is tired of acting. I read that in an interview she gave.

I still think Lulu can be saved. I just hope the GH writers do it right because I love her with Dante. I'm hoping they bring Laura back soon!

The new storyline seems like it will involve a lot of the characters and is definitely holding my interest!

With scrubs and Spixie the writing is on the wall

Member since:

here's one of the things that annoys me the most about the luke/liz scene yesterday. (ok a few things) tg insisted they sully the great luke/laura pairing of the 90's by throwing ethan into the fray, but now they are painting liz as the adventurous, can't be tied down equivalent to luke in her relationship with lucky. did we not all just get done saying we hate how ethan came to be? why put liz in this same light? it's not doing her any favors. it makes lucky the sensitive laura and just further feminizes him. what does that make nik - scottie? then where's my lucy? or bobby for that matter?

(aside - eet - i too am annoyed at tg's sudden change of heart regarding lucky - ugh! and feel gv got shafted, but at least he's still working)

so the cracks for scrubs and spixie have started. geez, they can't let anyone be happy for more than a milisecond onscreen.

totally thought the faux claudia was awesome. could have only been better if her eyes had been opened and then blinked because we all know claudia died with her eyes open - ok i nitpik.

samrocks - your name for olivia had me howlin' - so funny!

Yeah the Lucky/Luke scenes yesterday were really good but thats because TG actually put some energy into the scene. Usually GV in a scene like that could all but sharing the scene with furniture for how little TG gave back.

heres my problem with Luke - this is not a split the difference kind of situation. He is trying to have it both ways (which I guess is Lizard like) He should have called Nik AND Lizard to the HS and told them that they have 24 hours to tell Lucky or her would and then he should have held up his end of the bargain. To let his son potentially marry someone who is cheating on him with his BROTHER -- no I would be mad and I think Lucky would be totally correct to be disappointed with Luke if he keeps silent.

I guess this is where Lulu comes up with her "lets hint at things" strategy for problem solving.

And whats up with Eliesalots attitude toward Lucky. We saw the scenes with Sam so we know he knows what hes doing LOL why does she continue to "love" Lucky but lust someone else (Jason, Nik, the guy who bags her groceries)

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

sassy - i had heard kim wants to quit too. i also read they were splitting them up in a very permanent way. does anyone think they have the balls to give robin AIDS? it would suck to lose her, but that could be a mighty powerful storyline. it would involve almost the whole cast, bring back her parents, and give patrick a great storyline: a man in love losing his wife and facing single parenthood.

let's take it a step further. what if this lisa is being introduced now and robin picks her to help patrick through the tough times. anyone else hear she's signed a multi-year deal?

i hated when dominique died, but that was a great story and there were fabulous performances.

ok i'm tearing up already (i know i'm a sap) and this beats ruining them just because they're happily married.

I have a hard time thinking that the daughter of Frisco and Felicia Jones, the stepdaughter of Mac Scorpio, is not telling the cops what she saw that night.

I don't! Maxie has been making up her own rules since she was a teen. GEORGIE was the good one. Besides, it totally wouldn't be realistic (or interesting) if all children turned out like their parents.

EET...So exactly how long did your resolution last, LOL? I didn't say I had a problem with the length of your posts - I was just pointing out that they tend to be longer (as do mine most days).

Sassy...I too believe that Loo can be saved. However, my protest will continue until that day arrives, LOL. BooLoo must go! Bring back Loo!

Blackjack...Since TPTB have yet to realize the importance of more frequent PSAs with the K&K storyline, I'm not holding out hope for a well-written AIDS storyline...

I really can't stop myself from liking Dante, but Lulu has got to go. Does everything in the world have to revolve around Lulu? A cop is trying to do his job and not get murdered in the process, but all she can think about is her loyalty to an old family friend. Is this a joke? Dante should call her bluff and put an end this nonesense. Either Lulu needs to do it or 'say she didn't see it' and move on.

I'm happy to see Maxie standing up for herself.

I don't like seeing Robin left out. I really pray this ex-girlfriend s/l isn't the same old typical Robin is insecure and Patrick has to reasure his self-esteem[less] wife. I want to see a strong and confident Robin Scorpio!

I guess because it is James Franco I should care that someone is coming after Jason Morgan, but I just don't give a rats butt. Let him go after Jason. Let him get him. I'm so tired of Jason and his pain. Secret or otherwise.

Lucky deerves the truth from Liz but if she doesn't have the guts to do it than Luke must before Lucky finds out on his own (which of course, Lucky will). For the record, I still haven't seen JJ deliver any lines that I didn't think GV could deliver equally as well. if you ask me, JJ and GV play the current Lucky very similarly. The biggest difference for me so far is their looks. JJ still looks young to me in the role. Regardless, I can't say that all recasts are so evenly 'matched' because to this day LW's Carly still seems like a completely different Carly than the one TB or even SB played. It's been four years and I'm still not adjusted.

Regarding the possibility of losing Kimberly McCullough aka Robin Scorpio Drake. We have had 4 Carly's, 3 Lucky's, 2 Nicholas's, 2 Felicia's. Why can't we have a recast of Robin?

I hope GH begins to speed up the action on their storytelling. It seems as though we get one plot point per week and the rest of the airtime is spent in reruns of useless dialog.

I watched some old clips of GH recently and there were scenes of the Robin w/ Robert and Anna and later with Stone and forget JJ, what is Kim eating and drinking, she still has a baby face and that's just part of the reason I love her. I have watched her grow up and I have no desire to watch her die. I would rather she and Patrick and Emma leave town. Some will say JT shouldn't have to suffer if Kim leaves but re:GH he is only interesting to me as part of Scrubs, I don't want to see him fall in love with anyone else or fade to recurring at the hospital. I am dreading the arrival of Lisa, Scrubs needs outside angst they can battle together not some ex who's going to turn either of their heads.

An AIDS story in Guza's hands? NO!

Can we finally put it to rest, PLEASE Greg Vaughn is gone. He was not the Luckey that viewers originally loved. His Luckey was an overbearing bore and a tight wad and YES GV had his followers but he was no COWBOY.

Can we find my girl Liz's MORALS. I love her BUT come on F*****G your brother in law after accepting a proposal from your "first love" is disgusting. And this switching back and forth under the covers is nasty.

Luke was suppose to either make Liz/Nic tell or he should have done it him self. With Luckeys attitude toward Luke it is not like he going to hate his father any more than he already does. And one day he will understand that his father had his best interest at heart in this mess.

If KM is leaving why cant Patrick be alone to raise his daughter instead of HAVING to have a woman. and if he must why cant it be someone on canvas already.

NO NEW WOMEN NEEDED ON GH.

KM my comments were not a slam on JJ, but on TG's attitude. IMHO it sucks. I would love to know what Genie thinks about TG forming an alliance on contracts with SBu and MB when he did nothing to help bring tptb to the table with Genie. Now this. I love JJ, I love GV. I just dont get why TG didnt put in the same effort in his scenes with GV.

Samrocks, I couldnt help it, Lizard, Nik and Luke inspire my loathing. WHat can I say. And while my posts tend to be longer, the new font doesnt help. There are 4 posts on this thread alone that individually fill up the screen on my monitor nearly from top to bottom. WACKY

Scrubs - I think they should keep JT even if KM leaves. He has chemistry with nearly everyone on the canvas platonically. I could totally see him with Carly or down the road with Sam (I hate to imagine it, but I know JaSam will not last forever). Bring Kate back and I could completely see that as a possibility. Or when Lute end, chem test Lulu and Patrick.

They could even bring back Faison to kidnap her. Patrick could mourn and search and go crazy. Maybe he hires McCall Jackal, maybe he needs Carly's help with the baby, maybe he gets drunk and hooks up with Kate at Jakes - all of course after an appropriate time. In the meantime, his story could be about the hospital or even have them do a REAL story about alcoholism, not Monica off the canvas for a week or two and then shes cured kind of alkie, but an AJ boozer story. His father after all has that problem. They could even bring back Noah

Or maybe even he goes older and hooks up with Alexis.

I really don't think a recast of Robin is possible since KMc been on the show since she was a child - I, for one, could not accept a recast. It would be like recasting Robert, Anna, and Holly, not to mention Luke and Laura. Likewise, a recast of Noah would never fly - Rick Springfield 'owns' it forever - as his loyal fans will attest. Some things just can't be changed.

GH should do a good widowed single dad story about a reformed playa raising a daughter. Patrick could really use a length of time where he doesnt have a female other than Emma.

I have all fingers crossed for Franco. This could be really good or really bad. Of course he will lose in the end against Jason.

Yippee!! In honor of Liz apologizing for being Mrs. Bee Atch to Super Sam - and BEFORE she has been outed for the Niz affair, mind you... I am going to refrain from saying anything mean about Liz for the rest of the week. (Of course, it helps that there are only two days remaining in the week, LOL.)
