May 2nd, 2005
Luke’s wearing a bullet-proof vest, right? Right?
Speaking of Luke, he seems to be turning into Sawyer from Lost, what with the giving nicknames to everyone. “Nutjob”...“Vampira”...“Beelzebub”.... He just needs a southern accent and bad hair. Oh, wait.
Shhh, Michael, it’s just a dream. Mommy didn’t kill anyone. It’s never the most likely suspect.
Hey, look! Sonny’s resorting to blackmail! Who woulda thought?
May 3rd, 2005
Ahh, Luke. “Accept no substitutes” indeed.
Can we stop having women get arrested in front of their children? Thanks.
And the award for most useless character goes to...Samantha “I’m Just as Smart as I Look” McCall! Yay!
I’m sorry - did Elizabeth walk into Emily’s house without knocking? That’s so weird, and not at all like her. Way to set a good example for your son, Liz.
May 4th, 2005
Hey, Alcazar - tell me again how you’re better than Sonny.
Time for another Haircut Watch! Get it trimmed, Nikolas.
Reese has been a better mother to Michael in 3 days than Carly has in 9 years. Just saying.
Alexis realizes that if Sonny goes to jail, Kristina will be put in foster care, right? Because, with that in mind, her plan isn’t that bright.
May 5th, 2005
I thought Natalia Livingston was going to spend ten minutes angling for an Emmy today. Thank goodness she didn’t. Tyler Christopher will probably angle tomorrow, though it’ll be worth it. Unfortunately, we’ll probably have to watch Natalia “act” tomorrow.
Ooh, nice ammo for Alexis! Didn’t see that coming.
Carly was wearing the world’s ugliest shirt today. Seriously.
I’m back to hating Sam. She’s so useless, it’s annoying. And she’s everywhere! Ug. Go away, Sam.
May 6th, 2005
Maxie (in the form of Kirsten Storms) resurfaces May 23rd. I get the feeling I’m not going to like her.
I buy Michael as A.J.’s killer about as much as I buy Natalia Livingston as a good actress.
I was so distracted by the ugliness of Carly’s shirt that I can’t remember a thing she said today.
How stupid is everyone involved with Helena’s capture? Call hospital security, geniuses! Call Mac! Call someone who can at least get Nikolas out of prison! Speaking of Nikolas...idiot. The last time you tried to escape, you got shot. Don’t be a moron.
More Luke/Tracy scenes, please!
May 8th, 2005
This week on GH...
• After his failed prison break, Nikolas lands in solitary confinement. (Good job.)
May 9th, 2005
Okay, I guess I’ll take Michael’s motive for killing A.J., but I still don’t buy him actually doing it. It makes no sense. And he had a dream about it but doesn’t remember? That’s just weird.
More Luke and Tracy. Seriously.
I wish I cared what happens to Emily. I really do.
I hate Sam SO MUCH! She’s so meddling and irritating and useless and she’s always around and she thinks she knows everything and she just WON’T GO AWAY. Ug!
May 10th, 2005
I’d just like to say, for the record, that there’s no proof that Michael killed A.J. I’m just going to go along with it and pretend it’s real until I know for sure.
Dang, Emily actually did something helpful and smart today! Game over, Helena. Well, for now.
Go away, Alcazar. I’ve stopped caring.
Sonny would never wear that outfit. Whatever.
May 11th, 2005
Poor Mac. He has to deal with all the crazy people in Port Charles making false confessions to protect their families. He needs a vacation.
I kind of want Skye and Alcazar to get together. Chemistry, people! And then Carly could get together with Steven, and Rachel could...well, leave. And Luke could...convince Genie Francis to come back? I don’t know.
Hey, Nikolas? Maybe you should get a divorce. Because your wife helped get you out of prison, and now she doesn’t want to talk to you. Or maybe Elizabeth should organize an intervention and force Emily into therapy.
Friggin’ Jason/Sam romantic interlude.
May 12th, 2005
Sam might be pregnant? Might be? Who freaking cares?
When did Emily have her little moment of epiphany or whatever? Why did that happen off-screen? That makes no sense. Also, Nikolas deserves SO MUCH BETTER THAN HER. Just as Jason deserves so much better than Sam. Let’s lock Emily and Sam in a room together and have them kill each other or something.
Please. Skye and Alcazar. I’m really serious about this.
Why did they have that random thing with Cameron being sick and Rachel taking care of him and Jax talking to Elizabeth? Again, who cares? And why didn’t Elizabeth call Lucky? Whatever.
I really think that the second Sonny turned himself in, Alexis would have dragged a judge out of bed and tried to get custody back. Come on - that’s so Alexis!
May 13th, 2005
Next week on GH...
• Michael remembers killing A.J. (Yes, we know, that happened today.)
I’m so over the A.J. murder plot. Next!
I kind of wish Emily and Nikolas had gotten trapped in the burning house. Did anyone else think that Natalia Livinston sounded like she was reading a shopping list when she was doing that scene in the basement? Ug. I can’t stand her “acting.”
Who thought I would ever side with Sam in a fight between Carly and Sam? Shut up, Carly, and let Jason have a life.
Go to Alaska, Durant. Play with the penguins. Be gone from my sight.
May 16th, 2005
Come on, people! Let Michael turn himself in already! Seriously, Mac and Ric are never going to put him in jail. Let’s just get this over with.
What’s that? I’m supposed to care about Emily? What are you talking about?
Ack! Reese is wearing the brown/blue version of Emily’s pink/red rape dress! MY EYES!
I hereby predict that Luke will take Tracy to Vegas, get her really drunk, and marry her to get back the money he gave her. I can’t wait.
May 17th, 2005
I think Alexis is the queen of ultimatums. This one is a bad one, though. She’s willing to end her marriage over this whole stupid thing? Whatever.
Yay, Luke and Dillon scenes! Those are always fun.
Also yay - Emily not being a witch! Woo hoo!
Ha ha, Sam broke the pregnancy test!
May 18th, 2005
That Dillon/Georgie/Luke/Tracy stuff was some of the best stuff they’ve done on this show. More, please! I love the whole complicated plan - lure Tracy to Vegas by telling her that Dillon and Georgie eloped, drive her to drink, then take advantage of her drunkeness to get married. Hee hee hee.
Oh, and the mini bar mooed. Hee hee hee.
Whatever, Carly. Whatever, Sam. Whatever, everyone involved in this plot, except Jason.
I reeeeeeally hope Alexis was telling Ric the truth, or I’m going to have to yell at the writers for ruining my favorite character.
Nedly! Too bad they gave him and Brook the most pointless scene ever.
May 19th, 2005
Man, I really wanted to see Luke and Tracy’s wedding. That would have rocked.
Durant is eeeeeeeevil. I don’t even like Carly that much and I hate Durant. Stupid man.
Yeah, I’m sure Emily hates talking about herself.
Alice! Hee, she rocks.
May 20th, 2005
Next week on GH...
• The jury renders a verdict at Sonny’s murder trial. (Color me apathetic.)
Emmys tonight! Go Nancy Lee Grahn!
Ric is insane. I hope Alexis doesn’t divorce him over this stunt. And I hope Sonny doesn’t kill him.
How do I miss Amber Tamblyn? Let me count the ways....
More Quartermaines! More Tracy and Luke! More Dillon and Georgie! More Skye and Alcazar! I wish it were Christmas and I could ask Santa for these things.
Later
Natalia Livingston won a Daytime Emmy. That means the apocalypse is around the corner, right?
May 23rd, 2005
Carly is the world’s biggest manipulative shrew! I hate her. Freaking A, woman, learn to knock!
Wow, I’m so shocked that Sonny didn’t go to jail. That was the dumbest plot ever.
Pleeeeeeeeeease don’t get divorced, Ric and Alexis. I would be so sad. Maybe she’ll wise up. I think he just needs to tell her that Michael killed A.J. and he was trying to protect him.
Another great Luke/Tracy/Dillon/Georgie day. Every day with them is great!
Hi, new Maxie! I don’t hate you yet, but give me time.
May 24th, 2005
You know, Carly’s absolutely right. How dare Sonny - who’s no longer married and not in a relationship with anyone - try to have sex with a single woman in his own home behind closed doors? Carly had every right in the world to barge right in and interrupt on purpose. She’s completely justified in being upset. Oh, and the sky is orange and fish fly.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! STOP IT RIGHT NOW, RIC AND REESE!
Oh, Maxie. You can do so much better than Diego.
That’s the way to get me to like Sam - have her tell off Carly!
May 25th, 2005
Sorry, can’t talk about Ric and Reese. I’m busy sobbing in the corner. That said, 10 to 1 she gets pregnant.
Today was the first time I’ve ever really liked Sam, and it was all because she was telling Carly off. Go Sam!
Why does Emily care if Ric and Reese were together? That was so random.
Is this Maxie thing going anywhere? Maybe she’ll become a doctor or something. I might actually like her if she does something useful and doesn’t start getting into trouble again.
May 26th, 2005
You’ll be happy to know that I’ve perfected my whiny Carly impression. It’s kind of fun to do, actually.
What is this, Divorce Day?
Yeah, I...don’t care about Maxie. She’s only been back for two days.
Seriously, why would Emily care who Ric is sleeping with? Has she even talked to him since he was married to Elizabeth. I doubt she cares, since it’s not about her anyway.
Nikolas! Haircut! Yay!
May 27th, 2005
Next week on GH...
• Tracy triumphs over Luke and Skye. (You had me at Tracy.)
Kristina Wagner out! Sandra Ferguson in! TPTB at GH have once again called Kristina Wagner’s bluff when she threatened to quit. Again. This time, they let her go and recast the role. Good for them.
When Carly fails, she fails spectacularly well. I hope Jax and Courtney told the people in the Metro Court restaurant that they were performing dinner theater or something.
Maybe Sam can have a baby, die in childbirth (leaving Jason a father, which he should be, and ridding us of her), and donate her heart to Maxie. I’d enjoy that.
I don’t get why Emily is so proud that she didn’t think about Connor while she was, you know, saving Maxie’s life. How odd. Also, pre-med student or not, I wouldn’t want Emily in charge of saving my life.
May 30th, 2005
I got a kind of perverse pleasure out of watching Sam beat the heck out of Carly. I kind of wanted Carly to get skewered by a pool cue, though.
I think I prefer Maxie with Diego over Brook with Diego. Then Brook can get back together with Lucas!
Ewwww, are Jax and Courtney going to have sex in that restaurant? That’s not going to help his health code rating.
Oh, Sonny. Don’t put ideas in Carly’s head.
May 31st, 2005
More Luke/Tracy/Skye/Alcazar! Less everyone else!
Oh, wait. More Lucky and Elizabeth, too! Also, I want Elizabeth to tell me bedtime stories every night.
Carly bores me so much. I’ve started tuning her out. I don’t feel sorry for her, I don’t like her, and I don’t care what happens to her. She needs to get over herself.
Shut up, Emily. Need I elaborate?
• But there’s still hope for him yet, since Luke is closing in on Helena. (Good luck!)
• Speaking of jail, Sonny considers taking the fall for A.J.’s murder for little Michael’s sake. (Um...does he think they’re going to put a traumatized, emotionally unstable 9-year-old in jail for killing his kidnapper?)
• Turning on his considerable charm, Alcazar tempts Carly to grab her kids and run away with him. (I...don’t care.)
• Durant blackmails Alexis into betraying someone close to her. (Uh, oh. Look out, Ric!)
• Though Sonny and Carly are determined to protect Michael, Ric is just as insistent that the truth about A.J.’s untimely demise be revealed. (Wow, that’s so informative.)
• Reese uses her FBI connections to help Sonny. (Who cares?)
• Sam is bitterly disappointed by the latest twist in her quest to have a baby with Jason. (HA HA HA HA HA HA! Oh, sorry.)
• Unholy matrimony is in the cards for Luke and one unlucky lady in Las Vegas. (What the--? I can’t wait for this!)
• Sonny and Carly’s emotions spin out of control. (See above re: apathy.)
• Carly really wants Courtney to be with Jason. (What else is new?)
• Carly tries to ruin Courtney’s plans to marry Jax. (Shut up, Carly.)
• Emily urges Nikolas not to give up on their marriage. (Have they switched bodies or something?)
• Jason and Sam desperately seek help for Michael. (Because Sonny and Carly are inept parents.)
• Things get nasty between Sam and Carly. (Yay! Go, Sam!)
• Carly stirs up trouble at Jax and Courtney’s wedding. (Sigh.)
