Julie's General Blogspittle.

Monday, August 11 2008


Maybe if he had a proper burial? (Soaps.com)
Five times last week I recapped, recounted and recreated episodes of General Hospital. Do you know what I want to do right about now? Blow…spew…emit or basically set free my random musings about last week's action (or lack thereof.) Feel free to follow suit, whether you agree with me or not. Bibs ready?

Does anybody honestly think that Jerry's bullet will ricochet away from Jason and hit Carly, Maxie or Spinelli? I mean isn't that what we were supposed to be worrying about all weekend? Sorry, not this chick. I'm not so sure the guy's even going to pull the trigger. At least I hope not. I just this minute realized that my only emotional connection to this entire Karpov/Sonny/Jason mess is that I want Jerry to refrain from slipping back to the dark side. Him flirting with Sam while sleeping with her mother is as nasty as I'd like to see him get from now on. Think I'll get my way? Me either.

Things in Manhattan have gone from bad to worse, wouldn't you say? Not only do the lovebirds have little miss Lourdes popping through their window at will, they have the uber scary ghost of Logan floating around, likely dripping blood all over Professor Segal's floor. The poor birthday girl can't seem to catch a break except for when she was sitting by Laura's side getting some much-needed clarity. The scene at Shady Brook was lovely in my opinion. (Once I got passed the whole wig-on-a-fake-Laura thing, that is.) The more Lulu spoke to her mother, the more sure of herself she became. As a mother, I found myself willing Laura to reach out and comfort her girl.

I thoroughly enjoy the pairing of Anna and Noah, but the show pretty much dropped the ball on it this week after giving us only one scene of supply closet action. Who knows, maybe they're still in there!?!

Now, let's get down to the mob business. Carly, butt out. Sonny, wise up. Jason, keep your cool. That's about all the enthusiasm I can muster for this bunch. One more thing: Karpov, go home already. But feel free to wallpaper that warehouse with thousand dollar bills first. That I'd like to see.

Call me nuts, but is that chemistry I see between Nancy Drew Crowell and Matt? The guy creeped me out at first (hey, I never saw him on Days of Our Lives, so what do I know?) but he's kind of growing on me. As long as he doesn't steal Maxie from Spinelli, that is.

As for Special Prosecutor Baldwin, shouldn't he be planning a funeral or something? Running around town breathing hot air on everyone who might have done his dearly departed son wrong isn't working for me. Although I am thrilled to have gotten a glimpse at the Quartermaine mansion for the first time in months.

I think you all should know that I'm officially on board for steamy, dirty sex between Nik and Claudia. I'm not sure when the two of them together started working for me, and it doesn't matter I suppose, but bring it on.


Bridezilla? (Soaps.com)
I'll leave you with one departing piece of spittle and it's regarding the blushing bride. Practice flowers? I know that money is no object for these people and image is everything for Kate, but staring dreamily at five bouquets of varying degrees of whiteness is a tad off for me. It was unnerving to me on too many levels to go into here.

My favorite line of the week? "Maximista thinks I'm too big of a wimp to address the issue of my wimpishness." Do I even need to tell you who said it? Didn't think so.

So there you have it guys, everything that meant anything to me last week. You?

"Him flirting with Sam while sleeping with her mother is as nasty as I'd like to see him get from now on." (quote)

Look, it's Ric all over again. I wonder if Sam will sleep with Jerry too? Anything to end this farce that is LuSam.

I also see chemistry between Nadine and Matt. I don't like the idea of Matt and Maxie just because Belle and Shawn worked on Days. These are two VERY DIFFERENT characters and completely different storylines for each so to throw them together just because they worked on another show, is just bad writing.

The only other thing I liked was seeing the Q's at the mansion.

Kate and Sonny....who cares? Kate on her own is great but as half of Skatebored, she is just grating on the nerves.

Lourdes......She comes in the window now...why, did the doors stop working?? How about when she leaves, she jumps out of the wrong window and plummets to the ground? Just a thought!

Karpov, Sonny......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!! I'd rather see AZ pruning his roses than this ridiculous storyline.

Carly....You took your childrean from their father because their father's life is too dangerous, yet here you are getting into the same business that was too dangerous for your sons' father to be involved in their life! GO HOME TO YOUR SON and visit the other one that's in the hospital. I have lost ALL likeness for this character.

Show me some Liz that doesn't have to do with Lucky, Maxie or Scrubs!!!

It's hard to believe Jerry has any geniune feelings for Alexis when he is basically propositioning Sam (who I believe is truly repulsed by him) and basically saying he is using Alexis because she is the DA.

I have to wonder what he is up to at the Pier. Unless he is clairvoyant, why would he expect Jason to be there. It looked like some kind of rifle set up on a tripod so he had to take some time to set up and Jason was only there briefly before shots were fired.

I wish Spinelli would realize that he is just fine and doesn't need to be like Jason. I loved when Maxie pointed how his fine qualities and stated that he was superior to Jason in many ways.

I actually think Claudia and Ric have chemistry and would like to see them become a couple. At least he treats her with respect, doesn't call her names and better yet hasn't tried to kill her.

I like Nadine with Nic. After all the emotional turmoil he experienced when he lost Emily, he needs someone who has a quirky personality and a good heart.

I liked seeing the Q's mix it up with Anthony Zacharra. He just seemed to fit right in with them.

Yeah, I agree with everything you said here.

I enjoyed the Lulu scenes, and I am really hoping they pair Matt with Nadine instead of Spinelli.

I don't care about Matt, but I'm rooting hard for Spinelli and Maxie.

umm, I hope they pair Matt with Nadine instead of Maxie. Matt/Spinelli would not be a pairing I would be interested either. LMAO.

Sue me, it's early.

I totally agree about Nik and Claudia! Even if he should have turned her in for Michael's shooting, they have good chemistry. And dirty sex is exactly what I expect they'd have!

They're making me mad with Jerry! I love him, especially with Alexis, but it's hard to keep rooting for him when he constantly does such evil things.

I really hate Jerry. I hate that he is so selfish and he used Jax to escape justice when he held an entire hotel hostage. I don't like the fact that GH has conveniently let him skate on that certain prison time.

I like Claudia with Ric and with Nikolas. But I guess it depends on whether GH wants to clean up her image (Nik)or make her bad (Ric).

I agree with genhospchat--Just because Belle and Shawn worked on Days doesn't mean it will work here and I don't believe that it will--at least not better than her and Spinelli. They are a really quirky and amusing almost couple. So lets make Nancy Drew get with the doctor as I don't like both of them just yet.

Sonny is just bored. He made a sacrifice for love but has not come to grips that he gave up his career that has defined him for so long--where as Miss Fashion Icon still gets to keep her career that has defined her for so long. The trade off wasn't worth it and that is why Sonny has been trying to maneuver his way back. He has slept with Carly and lied to Kate about the business--all before they are even married--not good!

Jason and Carly should just get together. They are co-dependent. How would he tell her mob secrets but expect her not to act? I certainly knew she would.

Hello soap fans. Julie, this is your second blog, enjoying it, and you certainly do plenty of good writing works.
Thanks for a new twist.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words and promise to bring more every Monday.

I don't agree. He doesn't respect her at all. He pretty much said a few weeks ago how he could get her brother off and all she had to do was sleep with him. Using sex as a barganing tool is not respect. If Jerry hadn't tried to kill her, he'd be the only one in town that she could possible be paired with that wouldn't drop her like hot cakes as soon as her part of Michael's shooting comes out. That's just my humble opinion.

Julie, enjoyed your views on last week.

I agree that there is chemistry btw Nadine & Matt.

Nik & Claudia are ok but she sizzles with Ric.

Look forward to your views on this week.
