General Hospital blog - April, 2007
April 2nd, 2007
Nikolas tries to get rid of Alexis but accidentally makes her head off with Craig. Sonny is worried that Sam’s show will cause trouble for his organization, so he calls in Amelia and Diane to do damage control. Scott brags that he destroyed any evidence linking him to Rick’s death. Lulu learns of the blackmail plot and blasts Logan and Maxie. Lainey tries to counsel Patrick. Jax and Carly…something I ran up.
HANDS OFF KRISTINA, CRAIG. Really not kidding.
Hey, Sonny? This is the 21st century. Women are allowed to have jobs now. Yeah! Really! If I were Amelia, the last thing I said to him would have been, “I’m not your sweetheart.”
Hit Logan again, Lulu! He’s just that annoying!
Jax and Carly make me sleepy.
April 3rd, 2007
Lainey is unable to convince Sonny that it’s a good idea to use a labor dispute at the Metro Court to stay with Carly. Dillon realizes that Tracy has cracked but promises to keep quiet if she looks the other way while he dates Lulu. Maxie is sad because it’s the anniversary of Jesse’s death. Lucky spots Elizabeth letting Jason feel the baby kick. Sam is all traumatized and stuff.
Why is everyone SO BORING?
April 4th, 2007
Carly complains to Jason about being unable to choose between Sonny and Jax. Jason would rather just look at a copy of Elizabeth’s ultrasound. Robin is forced to tell Emily about her and Nikolas’ “relationship” after Emily hears her and Patrick fighting about it. Emily goes to Wyndemere to find out what’s really going on and finds them making out. Spinelli, Dillon, and Milo come up with a scheme to get Logan’s fingerprints and get info on him that they can use to blackmail him to stay away from Lulu. Dillon also gets his turn at a date with Lulu, but she thinks they have too much history. Maxie and Coop seal the deal, and Maxie is amused when Logan finds them together and gets into a fight with Coop. Carly is upset when Jax defends Skye over her.
Shut up, Carly, for the following reasons: 1) A person who goes into her so-called best friend’s house and starts snooping through his things, not to mention right in front of him, isn’t a very good best friend. 2) I don’t know who you think you used to be, but I don’t remember you changing at all in the past 11 years. 3) Who cares if Skye’s a mother? So are you, and Skye at least spends more than five minutes a week with her child. 4) Just because.
I want Lulu’s “rocker chick” shirt!
Milo’s kind of dumb, isn’t he?
Yeah, Maxie and Jesse were soulmates, weren’t they? I mean, they went out for about two weeks, and then after he died, she didn’t talk about him for a year! Sounds like a match made in Heaven to me.
April 5th, 2007
Carly chooses Jax, but Michael tries to help Sonny get back together with her. Emily doesn’t believe Nikolas’ lies about being in love with Robin. Maxie and Lulu have a snark-off. (Winner: undecided.) Amelia’s lackeys turn up evidence that Sam married and swindled three guys.
Be gone, Michael. You annoy me.
Hey, Lulu? Feel free to hit Maxie again.
Trying to muster up interest in Sam’s storyline. Failing.
You know, I have to admit, I think I want Carly and Sonny back together. And yet...why would she give up Jax? Seriously.
April 6th, 2007
Michael schemes to lock Carly and Sonny in the basement together. Lulu sends Spinelli to talk Jason into claiming the baby, then changes her mind when she realizes how happy Lucky is. Alexis wants to have, like, 10,000 of Craig’s babies. Jax refuses to help Skye contest Alan’s will.
It’s nice to know that Michael is exactly as smart as...a ten-year-old.
Uh oh. It’s getting to the point where not only do I automatically want to run up scenes with Elizabeth and Jason, but also scenes with any of them and Lucky, Spinelli, and/or Lulu. (Does anyone else find Lucky kind of annoying now?)
No wonder Ted King is leaving - Ron Hale is getting more screentime than him, and he doesn’t even have a plot!
Awww, Jax. Now Skye is going to say, “I told you so.”
April 7th, 2007
Next week: Dillon and Sonny try to woo their respective loves, a couple gets re-engaged (probably Carly and Jax, unfortunately), Sam and Lucky get stuck in an elevator together (hey, if it ain’t broke...), and lots of Sonny/Jason/Alcazar/Skye stuff.
April 9th, 2007
Michael’s scheme works, but after Sonny and Carly are released, Carly calls Jax. She’s not thrilled when Amelia answers and pretends she and Jax are…well, in the middle of something. Lulu talks Jason into keeping quiet. Dillon and Milo think Spinelli is trying to move in on Lulu and go after him. Craig eavesdrops on Ric and Alexis, then agrees to take her to the hospital when she realizes that something’s wrong. Sam and Lucky get stuck in an elevator together at the Metro Court. (No, I don’t know why.)
Alexis and I share a brain. I mentioned Ric’s mommy issues before she did. Take that, Ric!
So...why did Michael go to all that trouble and then release Carly and Sonny? Oh, wait, that’s right - I don’t care.
I don’t get the point of trapping Sam and Lucky in an elevator together. It would make sense if Sam knew Jason was the baby’s father, but she doesn’t, so...point, please?
Amelia? Go away. Quickly.
April 10th, 2007
Patrick meets Craig, who pretends to be southern (while teaching Kristina Baccarat). As Alcazar learns that Sonny and Jason are using the Cellar, Jason tells Sonny that Alcazar is faking his brain damage. Edward gets proof that Tracy forged Alan’s will but promises to keep quiet if she gives him a percentage of Alan’s ELQ share. Carly still wants to be with Jax. Lulu tries to hold on to her friendships with Dillon, Spinelli, and Milo.
Dear Sonny: thank you for sending Michael to therapy. Not only does he definitely need it, but Lainey deserves to become a millionaire.
I think Jax would be proud of Craig for teaching Kristina Baccarat. Also, is she some sort of math genius?
The Alcazar/Skye scene was kind of funny. Too bad he’s leaving.
Also funny? Craig’s horrible southern accent. Hee.
April 11th, 2007
Spinelli tries to be more like Jason, which involves crashing his bike and interrupting Lulu and Dillon’s date. Reporters bug Sam and Carly, but Sam isn’t sure if she should sign a restraining order to keep them away. Maxie steals the police exam for Coop. I so don’t care about Jax and Carly. I don’t care about Amelia and Watch Guy either.
I found out why Mike is getting so much screen time. Let’s just say they’re going to have to find someone else to run Kelly’s.
Maxie knows what the word sensitive means? I’m surprised.
So...Sam didn’t even ask why Amelia called her Angela? Idiot.
I was right! Jason does have a closet full of leather jackets!
April 12th, 2007
Ric tells Skye that Alcazar is faking his brain damage. She’s skeptical, but when she arrives home, she catches Alcazar on the phone, ordering his men to ambush Sonny and Jason in the Cellar. Carly and Jax get re-engaged. Maxie asks Jason to give Logan a job, offering to give him inside information on the PCPD, but Lulu interrupts and warns Jason not to listen to Maxie. Elizabeth goes into labor. Logan thinks Sonny is his next ticket to fortune.
I guess Mike’s last line is going to be to Coop and Logan about putting money on a horse. That sucks.
Did anyone else notice that somewhere between Sonny’s office and Kelly’s, Morgan...disappeared? I guess the writers care about him as little as I do.
Elizabeth, you can’t go into labor! It’s not May sweeps yet!
That little scene of Logan and Coop pulling out guns and nodding at each other was ridiculously dorky.
Is anyone actually watching the Carly/Jax scenes? Yeah, that’s what I suspected.
April 13th, 2007
Alcazar comes clean to Skye, who then tells Ric she’ll do whatever’s necessary to protect Lila from Alcazar. Jason sends Spinelli to the hospital with an injured Sonny, telling him to make sure Sonny doesn’t say anything incriminating. Elizabeth agrees to take medication to stop her contractions. Coop saves Maxie when she’s held hostage by one of Alcazar’s men. Logan asks Coop to call his father but never gives him a name. I didn’t listen to a word Jax and Carly had to say.
Those gunmen were really incompetent. They outnumbered Sonny and Jason and had automatic weapons, but they still only shot one person. And that was in the leg!
Hey, a man fell down the stairs for once!
I’m going to guess they’re putting Amelia and Stan together, since there’s no other reason for them to have a scene together.
I guess Logan really isn’t Patrick’s brother, as is the story now, since Patrick looked right at him and didn’t say anything. I’m going to stick with my suspicion that Scott has another long-lost child he never knew about. (Karen who?)
Funny how Robin told Spinelli she and Jason are friends. Maybe she just didn’t want to make Patrick any madder than he already is.
Scorecard
April 14th, 2007
Next week: boring!
April 16th, 2007
Sonny keeps refusing to divorce Carly. Monica asks Tracy for some sort of proof that she’s really seeing Alan. Even when she gets it, she’s still skeptical. Scott is named a special prosecutor and files papers to become Laura’s guardian. Elizabeth’s labor stops. Spinelli is a dork.
I didn’t see it. So...yeah.
April 17th, 2007
Sonny decides to sign the divorce papers to make Carly happy. Patrick thinks Robin is lying to him about her relationship with Nikolas. Scott warns Nikolas that he’ll take him to court to get guardianship of Laura. Amelia learns more about Sam’s past. Nikolas offers Craig money to leave the country.
I don’t think Jason’s plea for Sonny to sign the divorce papers was so much “this is kind of my fault” as it’s “please make your wife leave me alone.”
How much do I love it that people still call Scott Scotty? Including Alexis? Also, why does he think a judge would give him guardianship of Laura over Nikolas, Lucky, Lulu, Lesley, and even Luke?
So...does Amelia not know anything about Sam’s past? I’m so confused about what she knows and what she’s doing and, you know, why we’re supposed to care.
Wow, Patrick really is unprofessional. Also, really immature. Not the best look for him.
April 18th, 2007
Patrick gets Maxie to lift Robin’s file on Nikolas, which is inconclusive as to what poisons he was given. Later, Patrick stops by Patrick’s apartment and hears Craig talking to Robin and Nikolas. Alexis asks Sonny to sign the divorce papers so Jax can be happy, not realizing that Sonny already has. Tracy seemingly makes a deal with Scott to get him custody of Laura. Craig threatens to kill Luke if Nikolas doesn’t give him custody of Laura. Sonny offers to pay Logan’s medical bills but not give him a job. Ric may be interested in making Coop his Leonardo DiCaprio.
Why does Craig care what happens to Laura? Mind your own business, psycho.
Okay, Sonny and Alexis have 20 times more chemistry than Jax and Carly. That’s really not right.
I can’t wait for Ric to inevitably try to get Coop to infiltrate Sonny and Jason’s organization, then ultimately find out that they’re the reason he’s in the PCPD. Hee hee hee.
My mom and I just had this conversation about Carly, and I think it’s pretty accurate:
Me: “If you took her to a deli and gave her the choice of having a turkey sandwich or a ham sandwich, she would take two hours to decide.”
April 19th, 2007
Patrick puts two and two together, then follows and attacks Craig on the cliff. Craig gets the better of him and starts to throw him over the cliff when Robin arrives. Carly finally signs the papers. Tracy wants to blackmail Scott and is sick of Luke still loving Laura. Amelia is Bill Monroe’s daughter and may or may not want Sam dead. Jason and Elizabeth…oh, you know I don’t care.
If Helena can survive a fall off that cliff, Patrick will be fine. (But did Craig have to go after his pretty, pretty face?)
Wait, why am I supposed to care about Amelia? I forget.
So uncalled for, Tracy. No wonder I don’t like her very much.
Looks like Carly chose the turkey sandwich!
STOP IT, JASON AND ELIZABETH. I am so serious.
April 20th, 2007
Nikolas saves Patrick, who agrees to keep quiet about Craig and what he’s doing to Nikolas. Alcazar sends goons after Sam, but Jason shows up to save her. Carly forgets about her wedding plans long enough to remember Sonny’s birthday. Lucky contemplates asking Jason to be the baby’s godfather. Elizabeth loves Jason, or something.
Yay! Now Patrick is in on everything! I love the twist.
Hee. Spinelli called Lila “Baby Evil.”
Yeah, Lucky. Ask a guy you don’t even really like to be your baby’s godfather. Sorry, Nikolas - you’re just the uncle.
Sonny is so going to kiss Carly. He’s just that predictable.
Scorecard
April 22nd, 2007
This week: speak now or forever hold your...hey, who invited Sonny?
April 23rd, 2007
Craig agrees to let Patrick live as long as Robin can keep him from telling anyone what’s going on. Robin and Patrick promptly start screwing things up when Emily catches them kissing at the hospital. When Jax calls him to ask him to come to his wedding, Craig’s true identity is revealed - he’s Jerry. Carly and Sonny make out, of course. Sam kills one of the shooters as Jason wounds the other one. Amelia convinces Floyd to keep the shooting quiet. After remembering how violent Jason’s life is, Lucky changes his mind about making him the baby’s godfather.
Um...holy crap. I know he doesn’t have an Australian accent, and he was never sadistic like this, and...okay, it pretty much makes no sense whatsoever, but I love that Craig is really Jerry. (I also love that Nikolas asked if the names James Brosnan was “too 007” for him. Thanks, Nik!)
Wow, for doctors, Robin and Patrick are kind of dumb.
I didn’t know Emily knew Elizabeth and Jason had slept together. To be fair, I don’t pay much attention to Emily, but I figured there would have been a bigger deal made out of it.
Apparently Sam only kills people in self-defense. She’s so noble!
April 24th, 2007
Jax and Jane REALLY want Jerry at Jax’s wedding. Carly freaks out that Jason won’t be at the wedding. Emily confronts Robin about her kiss with Patrick. Robin tells her she and Nikolas are still together, then asks her to keep quiet. Nikolas overhears Craig on the phone with Jane and realizes that he might actually be a little human. Spinelli thinks Lulu should tell Carly about the baby so she can convince Jason to be a part of his or her life. Dillon gets mad when he learns that Milo and Lulu are supposedly going to the wedding together, so Lulu says she’ll take all three guys. Blah, blah, Logan, Maxie, Coop, blah. I ran up every scene with Tracy, Luke, Sam, and Amelia. People say “wedding” and “Jerry” a lot.
They had a rare scene with Bobbie the day after the big Jerry reveal, and she and Carly don’t say anything about him? That’s dumb. Also, why is everyone so stunned that Jerry wouldn’t come to the wedding? First of all, he’s not supposed to be in the States because of his problems with the Feds. And second of all, he didn’t come to Jax’s wedding to Skye. Or Courtney. Or his other two attempts to marry Carly. It’s Jerry! He’s not reliable! We know this!
I think I’m going to keep calling Jerry Craig. It just makes more sense to me. Craig and Jerry seem like such different people that I think I should differentiate between their names. Or I’m giving this way too much thought. Yeah, that’s probably it.
People who need to shut up: Amelia, Ford, Noah, Logan, Carly (of course), and pretty much anyone who uses the word “wedding.”
Boo hoo, poor Lulu. She has four men in love with her. How horrible it must be to be her!
April 25th, 2007
With Jason MIA, Spinelli takes his place at the wedding rehearsal. Nikolas finally tells Emily what Craig is up to. Alexis wants Craig to escort her to the wedding. She also admits her skepticism that Carly is over Sonny. Maxie wonders why Coop is so interested in Sonny.
Can the wedding (which I’m about 99 percent sure isn’t going to happen) be over yet?
Some things need no words. Spinelli impersonating Jason is one of those things.
Awwww, Nikolas finally cracked.
I don’t know why, but I’m starting to like Coop more. Maybe because he’s dark and broody, and girls love that. (Why do you think Angel stayed on the air five years?)
April 26th, 2007
The stars pretty much align to make sure Carly and Jax won’t be getting married. Sonny shows up just as Carly is about to walk down the aisle. Craig lurks outside. Luke asks Sonny to leave Skye out of whatever he has planned as revenge against Alcazar.
NEDLY! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: come back. Please. Also, I love that he offered to be Alexis’ date to the wedding. So awesome.
I always love seeing the random groupings of people the director puts in the background of group scenes. Like, what are Sam, Max, and Milo talking about? How annoyed is Alexis that she has to talk to Edward?
So Sonny took a drink. So? He’s not an alcoholic. Who cares?
Luke is...in love with Skye again? Still? Huh?
April 27th, 2007
Jax and Carly get married with no setbacks. Craig calls Jax after the ceremony, pretending to still be elsewhere, but Jax figures out that he’s nearby. Sonny gets drunk and receives a surprise visit from Amelia. Lulu walks into a shootout starring Logan. Sam may be catching on to Elizabeth’s baby’s paternity. Robin and Patrick, then Emily and Nikolas sneak a few minutes alone.
I...can’t believe they actually got married. I was so sure they wouldn’t! Shows what I know.
The big cliffhanger is Jax possibly seeing Craig, not, say, someone else seeing Craig, or Craig seeing Nikolas and Emily making out? Weird.
Tell me again why I care about Amelia?
Best moments of the wedding: Spinelli’s dance fantasy (especially Max and Milo’s hats), Jason’s reaction to (sort of) catching the garter, Sam’s reaction to Spinelli’s reaction to getting the garter from Jason, Ned collecting bets from the Quartermaines as to whether or not Sonny was going to ruin the ceremony, that sweet Sam/Alexis scene, Michael telling Monica she looked pretty, Ned calling Alexis “someone in charge,” Stan echoing my questions about why he was invited (not that I don’t like him, of course), and Robin reminding Emily to pretend to hate her.
Scorecard
April 28th, 2007
Next week: Sam shouldn’t drink, Amelia better be on the pill, I’m really sick of Jason and Elizabeth scenes, and Emily teams up with Robin and Patrick.
April 30th, 2007
Jane spots Jerry, who makes her promise not to tell Jax he was at the wedding. Sonny and Amelia get extremely friendly. A drunken Sam almost lets slip to Jason that she was married before. Lulu teaches Dillon, Spinelli, and Milo about sharing.
If Craig is now “unrecognizable,” then...how did Jane recognize him?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Sam is hilarious (and bearable) when she’s drunk.
Awww, now Spinelli, Milo, and Dillon can graduate from kindergarten to first grade.
Someone get Amelia a sandwich, stat!
