General Hospital: Perkie's Observations

They still make the PCPD bumbling idiots, now with the exception of Lucky. Why couldn't they write like this for GV?

Just because Maxie cheated doesnt mean its the end. Carly cheated, Lucky cheated I mean everyone cheats on this show yet couples still get back together.

I just want to see how Maxie makes it up to Spinelli.

I sure hope this is the end of Spixie. 
I can see it now, Maxie trying to explain it to Spinelli.  "Sorry, Spinelli, I had awesome sex with this weird hot guy and afterwards I couldn't even get upstairs cause my knees didn't function properly, but love ya"

Franco and Maxie were so damn hot!!!!! 

I love Sam but I didn't get the whole Jasam convo.  GH is at times so damn messed up with their morals but I can't hate on Guza, I got hot Fraxie sex (the scenes should've lasted longer though)

 My money is on Maxie getting pregnant. Otherwise, with Franco not being on the canvas for too long, there is no way in Hell Maxie would tell Spinelli that she slept with Franco. Mark my words...she is going to be pregnant, and try to pass that baby off as Spinelli's.

Damn you Maxie!

Maxie needs a man like Franco.....I wish we got to see more of the sex scene

I needed a wet nap after Franco said "your pants are already halfway down your thighs".....that man is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa!!! I know I said this before but Maxie and Franco are hot together!! I know am gonna get flak for this, but with the way he was talking, if it were me and I didn't want anything to happen, I would run like hell for the door, because he is freaking charming, arrogant, but charming

JJ's Lucky talking to Anthony Z and Sonny in one episode...I never saw that before.
When Olivia says crap like 'Sonny used to be a sweet angel, he could do so much better', I just wanna smack her across the face. She's dragged this secret so much, I'm confused as to who knows what about the whole Dante/Sonny shebang.
@ Troy, if fraxie sex had lasted longer, it would probably be too hot for tv, look how they were for the couple of seconds they showed them.

I certainly hope that we are at the end of Maxie and Spinelli. We are likely not, but I'm going to enjoy Spinelli crying his eyes out when he finds out that Maxie had sex with a hot man who satisfied her completely. It must have been good because she was macking on Franco in he limo after. She had no regret  .

I still say Franco is AJ out for revenge and I hope he is AJ

Also what has happened to the GH spoilers , They have been on the backburner for months, need someone new to write them

Okay, I like Maxie and Franco's chemistry and I'm glad KS was the one to be with the movie star. I still don't understand Maxie being with a guy who talked so down to her and treated her like crap.  Also the guy looked sleepy and high.

I LOVED LOVED Lucky and Sonny's talk. They have really rewrote Lucky and I love him going down memory lane with Sonny. I know the reasons he said why he became a cop doesn't match the real reasons from years ago but it doesn't matter.  I do their is some foreshadowing. When Lucky said his Aunt Ruby said the chickens always come home to roost, I really think after this Cassadine v Spencer storyline happens, something will happen where Lucky will stop being a cop.  I still hope for a Dante/Lucky partnership. I really hope TIIC is smart enough for that.

I HATED that Sonny was talking crazy to Johnny and Olivia, this tough as nails chick from the hood, was acting all scared. I can't stand that freakin character. I hope at the end of her cycle she is gone for good.  Let her get shot or something and leave town. She is too annoying.  I also HATE that they are turning Johnny into Chris Brown to make Sonny (the serial women abuser) look good.  I hated that whole scene.

What happened to Sam? All her indpendence she had when she was single and dating Lucky has disappeared.

I didnt understand the Jason stuff.  If there is a witness wouldnt that witness have seen that Jason's actions were in self-defense and/or defense of others?

I loved the past few days of GH!  I am kinda liking the Maxie we saw the past two days. 
 Johnny going after Olivia was pure Sopranos!  It had me in chills. 
Anthony and  Lucky was interesting!  I love Anthony and don't mind seeing him from time to time.  He is so much more refreshing than Trevor ever was.
Olivia wanting Dante off the case, well the situation is simple tell the NYPD that Sonny is his father and he is done with that case!
The idea of Maxie being pregnant with Franco's kid would be an interesting twist.  I really, really, really want him to stay!  He is the best thing GH has had in a long time!
I love the way Dante and Sonny are becoming closer.  It is making the wait for the reveal that much more worth it and going to make the fallout that much better to watch.
Why did we only get a glimpse of Kate?  We want more TPTB!  More Kate!  More Kate!  More Kate!  (Less Sonny unless with Kate!)
WTF was Carly?  I missed seeing her the past few days.  It would have been nice to see her with Jax at the Franco show!
Tracy was pure classic Tracy!
Luke and Franco were amazing!
Lulu, umm what were you thinking with that outfit combo?  It was a hott mess!  Hello are you trying to test the viewers GH to see if we are truly paying attention.  Cause a cheetah print coat, black shoes, gold purse maybe but with a green dress?  Umm..no!  It looked ridiculous!

Still watching the episode, but:

Am I the only one who finds nothing particularly "unique" about Franco's wave!?!?!  I mean, how many different ways are there to do it?

(Giggles at herself attempting to wave in as many different ways as possible. )

i wish i was kirsten storms for that scene. that's all i gotta say

Has anyone else seen the old hotels.com commercial where the man thinks the shampoos are being provided as a bribe?  If not, then check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsC3XOLzlpQ.

I only ask because, if TPTB are using the Fraxie chemistry to convince me that psycho killers can actually be really sexy, then all I have to say is, "It's working, it's WORKING!!"  I could watch their scenes on a loop for a full hour each day for a week, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get bored.

If loving Fraxie is wrong...then I don't WANNA be right! 

I wasn't watching GH when Jonathon Jackson played Lucky, but read comments from people who did, and they were so excited for his return.  I loved Greg Vaughn, but I am just absolutely bowled over by JJ.  I love the intelligence, maturity and depth he is bringing to the role of Lucky.  I also think that he is being much better written, and I really love Jonathon Jackson's interpretation. 
James Franco is terrific, and brings a lot of excitement to the story.  This show is really getting good!

Samrocks I have to disagree about the wave.  To me that was a very pagent/parade kind of wave.  His hand was cupped - I have never seen a guy do that casually.  I also think it was odd that the artist would wave to a guy that just said no to meeting him - giving him the finger yeah, but waving, not so much.

Let me throw this out there.  Have you guys wondered what the Franco ratings will mean for soaps down the road. Okay if this brings up the ratings then that is obviously a good thing, and I sure as heck love Franco wanting to do this.

BUT let me flip the coin.

The show has a budget.  Franco increases ratings.  So now they want to get Fergie or Josh Duhamel or Shai LeBeuf t do a guest star.  Franco just removed some of the stigma and JD has a relationship with Disney as does SL (and I am sure I mangled the spelling of his name) So how does GH afford to pay someone like that. Does he look around the canvas and cut someone?  Because my guess is the four people that would be first on the chopping block would be LC, JI, BB and JE. Would be willing to lose one or more of them for a 2 month visit from someone like James Franco, because I would be if this is sucessful, as its bound to be, that will will see more guest stints.

I love, love, love the Franco storyline and I love that Maxie slept with him.  Thank god they are not turning Maxie into the new "St. Elizabeth".  GH need to capitalize on this "out" for Spixie...it was cute while it lasted but they need to remain friends.  Watching their scenes is like being trapped in the twilight zone. 
JaSam is Hawt!  Had to throw that in there too...lol.

 Oh Maxi is one lucky lady that was so hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
I hate that it will probably ruined Spixie but still it was hot!!!!
I hated Lucky in JV version hated it but now JJ is back I am starting to like him agin.
his scenes with Sonny was amazing it was such a nod to the history ......
And with Spinelli He didn't treat him like trash and annoyance and he saw the similarity..
and that was great .......
Now he just needs to give Jason Jake and I will be his biggest fan forever LOL 

JaSam - Can I say how much I loved them , EET I agree it doesn't make sense Franco saw Jason firing in self defense? what a threaten he can be to Jason ?????
Again I didn't really like the talk about the killing but i did like Sam giving Jason his faith,. and also what I loved is that he was truthful with her he told her everytihng and that is big he don't let woman get that close to him but this time he is .......
And I don't think it is hurting Sam independent , she is there to help him , help her friend and more Jason trust her he confide in her he trust , and that is big ...

If I remember Lucky was against her being a PI and he didn't give her the trust Jason gives her .........

 I'm still wondering how Maxie went from dark hair on the night of Claudia's death (when she was at Kate Howard's house in time to see Sonny return from the cabin with a bloody shirt) to her newly coiffed blonde locks.  Was she wigging it?
I got flashbacks to Vanessa Marcil when she got an unauthorized short haircut and she had to wear a fall for awhile until her hair grew out.

*I don't get the Spixie thing either.  It feels like a joke that I don't get that has gone on long enough.  Nothing wrong with some platonic love that could someday become more when the characters BOTH mature, but right now, I don't see it.  Your essental person doesnt need to be your lover.  That said, I would have liked it more if Maxie's "turning the tables" on Franco hadn't taken the form of her giving him what he wanted but not even getting what she needed to keep her job.  Not a bright gal, but there was a moment of hope there...then she threw her skirt over her head.  Where others are seeing "hot and sexy", I saw too much "vulgar" and poorly written seduction.

** I was thinking it would be cool if Franco was an AJ recast given his Jason Morgan obsession.   AJ having been quietly recovering and rebuilding his life and finally seeing a chance to re-enter the lives of everyone in PC since HIS SON Michael being involved in someone's death and HIS BROTHER being involved in a cover up. THAT would have been something that was a long term contribution to the show ala Elizabeth Taylor as Helena Cassidine.

Maxie and Franco were absolutely HOT together!!!! What amazing chemistry. Loved the scenes with those two.

I also loved the scenes between Sonny and Lucky. Them talking the past was great and seems to be something very unique on this show these days. So I was really surprise that they did go there.
And Lucky is not a stupid cop anymore. Who would have thought!? The "old" cop Lucky would have suspected Jason for weeks before he realizes that it isn't his hand writing. Also liked his questioning, because it was reasonable and with Luke involved I can't wait where this is all going.

Olivia and her lies ... I'm so sick of it. Can't the truth just finally blow up in her face? So many people know that Dominic is Dante and that he's a cop. It has to come out...
And I guess that Joliva will end as soon as Johnny finds out that Dante is Sonny's son. What would make me sad, because even though I have my problems with Olivia lately, I still think that she and Johnny are a better pairing than Sonny and Olivia.

 Ok why don't Olivia tell the truth ???????

 Ok why don't Olivia tell the truth ???????
 Ok why don't Olivia tell the truth ??????

I think that Sonny and Lucky's scene was the best part of the whole entire show. It was classic GH and I like that we finally got an explanation on why Lucky is a cop. It sucks that GV couldn't get such good writing but because of MB and JJ's connection it worked out better this way.

Sonny loved Lucky and had a great relationship with him. The fact that he feels the need to put up defenses because of his distrust in cops is absolutely heartbreaking. I enjoyed Sonny as a character for the first time in a long while.

I think that this scene did wonderful things for both characters and clarified some intense motivations.

did anyone else catch Maxie's age, 23?  she sure has squeezed in a lot of life in 23 years. Folks with better memories, is 23 about right?

it's interesting to watch the Dante's Secret sl playout with the Franco's Secret sl: Dante's has been dragged to the point that I don't care how it plays out and it's straining my affection for Dante, but Franco's story is going at such warp speed that each scene ends with a cliffhanger, I love it. The ability to let a story playout over time is soaps bread and butter and it's why I still watch but I love knowing that JF's schedule means almost immediate gratification.

Hot, They are HOT!

Has anyone wondered about his sleepy/stoney eyes and the "Nectar of the Muses" he offered Maxie before the champaigne, which she spit out,  that tastes like cherry cough syrup?  I have a friend (a hot drummer) who is hooked on cough syrup laced with opiates.  Maybe our artist likes to get a serious buzz on.

Enough Olivia.  Bring back Kate.

Loved Maxie but hated that all it took was a little goading (?).  My heart will break for Spin because he does love her so, but trusting her might take a while.

I would love for Franco to be AJ, that would be something soapy dreams are made of, but I would take him coming back on GH every few months just to watch Fraxie reunite.

I won't even touch upon Sam and that God awful excuse she gave, oh yeah great job at the art exhibit (insert sarcasm & disdain :)  )

I always pegged sorased lulu as about 22-23 ish.  Maxie is suppose to be older by a bit but I think that changed when the sorased lulu even with the recast.I guess that makes ethan 25 ish?? I wish someone one of these days would do a chart with what age the character SHOULD be and the age on that date. So for instance Lulu was born on screen on x date making her x years old, but now she must be 22 ish since she started college before the dillon storyline and that was a number of years ago.

Comon Liz will say the same thing..................... 
and  don't tell me no 

I'll leave this to the YouTube queen to confirm this, but I believe it was during "BJ's" trip to Maxie's grave during Maxie's "what if" dream episode that we saw what year Maxie was actually born.

I remember it because it conflicted with Maxie's SORAS age, or something to that effect.

Guza is giving James Franco some of the best lines...."I love Coffee.  Introduce me."  "Your pants are already half way down your thighs."  While I love spixie, this is staying completely true to character...she always manages to get in her own way or screw things up for herself.  while she's growing, she never was and isn't a saint....that was georgie's role.  She was always the conscience and good girl who struggled with sometimes bad decisions  while maxie was deeply flawed but geniuine bad girl who strived to be good but just never could seem to get there.  Maxie has only recently found a moral zone...georgie used to be her moral center....i find this intriguing...maxie was getting too soft with spinelli.
