General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

Is it hard for anyone else to watch Jerry playfully and adorably bicker with his brother and have sex with the DA knowing that he's a sadistic, cold-blooded murderer OR Claudia playfully and adorably flirt with Jason and Spinelli knowing that she is responsible for Michael's coma?
This kind of writing really bothers me- either make up some plausible excuse for their deplorable actions or make their storylines reflect their dastardly deeds. This is like watching a sit-com about some real serial killer.Sorry -over the edge.

You're not over the edge. I can't stand Jerry. He flaunts what he has done every chance he gets. Now Alexis will trust him with her daughter's life! To me it's another way for him to get on the side of the DA and have her protect him. She's dumber then I thought she was.

As for Claudia, yes it was a hit gone bad and I'm not overly fond of her, but she has shown some remorse for it. Jerry has shown none for anything he has done...Peggy

I don't think either of them have shown any real remorse. Claudia continues to lie about her families involvement in the shooting as does Jerry. Yes, I realize it would be foolish for Claudia to say, "Hey guess what Jason, we were responsible after all" but her yelling at Jason for letting Spinelli into the "illegal lifestyle" is just irksome and well, a tad hypocritical.

Jerry is deadtome, and unfortunately fastening him to Alexis makes me simply want to hurl. All is not forgiven IMO. The ghost of Alan frequently reminds me that this man has done much harm. His fanbase is tight, but GH is spinning the yarn daily to get this character accepted.

I think it's a useless effort...but then again this contributes to its 'tank-factor'. A lot of fans are loyal and keep waiting for GH to fix it and leave it alone. But it doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon.

What amazes me is that the writers expect us to feel some kind of redemption factor when it comes to these two characters. Claudia gets on my last nerve...It's like the writers aren't too sure as what to do with her character as nothing has worked thus far.

Jerry Jacks/Mr. Craig is pure evil. Sebastian is brilliant.

Alexis, I agree is the biggest hypocrite going. I just roll my eyes when she comes on screen.

Psychopaths and criminals are generally not remorseful, honorable people. Often, they are quite charming and convincing in their false sincerity. So their actions seem rather true to life, IMHO.

And really, are Jason or Sonny any better than Claudia or Jerry? And aren't their significant others just as hypocritical for going along with it?
