You Are Not My Love Puppet.

Wednesday, October 21 2009
Sonny and Claudia make an impact in Puerto Rico, Dominic enlists Spinelli's help, Max and Diane catch up, and Robin and Patrick assist Jason and Sam.


Spinelli runs downstairs and finds Jason and Sam sleeping on the couch. Sam wakes up and thanks Jason for helping her though last night. They fill Spinelli in on their night and Jason thinks he found a new lead on Ian at the hospital. He thinks maybe Ian put his recordings in closed patient files and Spinelli gets to work to find out on his laptop.



At home, Jax offers Carly some suggestions on staying calm and then tells her Sonny is out of town. He explains he found out because he went to his house to talk to him about keeping her stress levels down, but he was gone. They continue to talk about keeping her healthy and calm and how he hasn't been jetting off anywhere. Jax tells Carly about his talk with Patrick and says he's happier with her and their family than he's ever been in his life.



Ronnie and Dante meet up and Dante gives him some info he found at Sonny's. He also tells him about Sonny and Claudia's meeting in Puerto Rico and how it must be important because he is an easy target that far from his power base. Ronnie thinks if Sonny is taken out, all the better, but Dante isn't on board with that line of thinking. Ronnie thinks he is too involved, but Dante insists he is loyal to his badge and wants to take Sonny down the legal, non-violent way. Ronnie doesn't think that may be possible and starts to leave, but then Dante points out the C077X sign on the wall, which Ronnie doesn't recognize.



In Puerto Rico, Sonny tells Claudia he has influence down there and they need every advantage if they are going to pull this off. They discuss business and Sonny wants them to intimidate everyone at the meeting and to show a united front. Sonny wants everyone to know he is in control and to squash any talk of Anthony so they can handle the last of the renegade Zaccharas. Claudia is excited to show him what kind of asset she can be to him and goes to get ready for the meeting.


Robin finds Patrick at the hospital who was up late last night thinking about the pregnant woman who came in and how lucky they are Emma is healthy and happy. He brings up Ian and berates himself for not seeing his former friend for who he was. He thinks his blindness to his true nature is partially to blame for Michael's shooting. He looks on the computer for some files Ian worked on to see if there is something he missed and discovers they have been moved to the conference room.


Diane comes to the hospital and sees Max. They awkwardly discuss how he is doing and then he tries to pretend he is meeting someone. Diane sees through it and asks him to catch up. Max tries to make excuses and starts to walk away, but Diane stops him saying she doesn't think of him as a love puppet. They sit down to talk about the events from the carnival and their fight. They end up arguing about Louise and Diane tells Max she has a man in Philadelphia. Their fight escalates and Diane storms off.


Alexis comes to see Jax in his office to talk to him about her guilt over her reaction to Michael. Jax tells her he's decided to tell Carly the truth about Jerry's role in his shooting after the baby is born, but is worried she won't understand why he kept it a secret or accept that his brother was involved in Michael's shooting.

Michael comes home and tells Carly he flipped out on Sonny. He doesn't understand why his brain goes there and Carly assures him it will take time. Michael wishes he could control it and fears something bad will happen. Carly wonders what could happen from his memories and Michael remembers what the psychic told him about threats by his bed and in the mirror. Carly asks what's going on and Michael says he thinks there were other people involved in his shooting besides Ian. Jax comes home and Carly tells him Michael is having a hard time with what he's remembering. Michael says he's fine and that they should focus on keeping Carly away from her cheesy snacks. Michael then has a flash of Jerry saying it might be better if he was dead. He blurts out, β€œIt was Jax's brother Jerry.”

Claudia comes out and Sonny is impressed with her appearance. Sonny thinks with the two of them together, they won't know what hit them.

Jason and Sam come to the hospital and find Patrick and Robin looking at Ian's files in the conference room. Patrick explains his interest in this case and the Drakes explain they can help them navigate the files.


Spinelli meets Dominic in the alley who asks for his help in finding out what the graffiti sign means.



Claudia and Sonny walk into the casino and meet with an associate who asks after Anthony. Claudia tells him he is in prison and that Sonny holds all the power now. They have a drink at the bar and the man asks why Sonny came without any advance knowledge. Sonny doesn't need to explain himself and Claudia refuses the drink, insulting the man. He instructs Sonny to make his wife finish her drink, but Sonny dumps it out in front of him.



Spinelli and Dominic go back to the penthouse and Spinelli gets to work on finding info on CO77X. As Spinelli explains the depths of his cyberspace skills, Dominic's ears perk up. Spinelli can't find anything on the graffiti tag and assumes it's of no significance, as the camera pans the loft filled with crime scene photos and someone splattering red paint on a poster sign of the tag.


Alexis sees Sam at the hospital, but Sam runs off to work on the case. Alexis then sees Robin and thanks her for clearing her name in the Brianna Hughes murder case. Alexis thinks Robin has a calling in detective work, and Robin admits it was fun. Alexis asks if she and Sam are working together on something and Robin tells her they are looking for an accomplice in Michael's shooting.

Jason and Patrick look through files and Jason finds a DVD. They discuss Ian's death and then Patrick gets paged away. Alexis comes in the room and asks Jason if he can do this without involving Sam.

Next on General Hospital:

Claudia and Sonny continue to play power couple.

Jason gets closer to the truth.

Michael lies to Carly and Jax about Jerry.

I did not see the show yet, but I may actually have to watch this one. Claudia and Sonny as the mob power-couple was what I always wanted to see them develop into. Too bad it's too late...

And I just want to know what Jason's going to do if he ever does get "proof" that Claudia was involved in Michael's ACCIDENTAL shooting. Michael has already said he didn't want Jason to do anything about it even if he found out others were involved. And Jason was at the front of the line trying to make Carly and Sonny feel better about themselves and their own choices for Michael after he was shot by reminding everyone that it was an accident. It's all just so incredibly hypocritical of Jason considering he was perfectly willing to cover up Michael being involved in Claudia's accident (when they thought he did it). And how many people has Jason actually killed ON PURPOSE - shouldn't he be made to pay for all of that if Claudia is going to be held accountable for Ian Devlin taking a bad shot? For that matter, shouldn't Sonny then also be held accountable for all the people that Jason has killed, since he gave the orders (like Claudia did with Devlin)?

And all the while that Jason is so obsessed wtih getting proof about something that really doesn't matter (since Michael won't want Jason to do anything to Claudia anyway because he's mature enough to know it was an accident), he is not seeing the real threat in his midst - Dante, the undercover cop. I really hope when all this comes out that Jason can do a little bit of self-reflection to see what this pointless obsession of his could have cost him -- because we know that Dante won't really bring Sonny and Jason down, because what would "General Mob-spital" be without the Dimpled Godfather and the Hitman with a Heart, right?

GH is so hurried and put together! There is no sense of fluidity and flow to the show--it just jumps from s/l to s/l with no connection to anything!

I love Liason, however, I was willing to endure Niz until the writers came to their senses. Now that Jonathan Jackson is back, I'm willing to endure a s/l that includes Lucky, Nikolas, and Jason. I think all three men should go after Liz! That would be fascinating! Obviously, the writers are rushing things. The whole back and forth, with Liz not able to make up her mind is so annoying.

I know Jasam lovers were happy about the reunion of their couple, but even you guys have to admit, the writers have screwed them up--I never thought they had chem, and it's even more evident now. Everything seems forced and rushed together by the writers. By the way, what is Sam in, a straight jacket?! That gray thing is pathetic, all it does is show the silhouette of her breasts. Wow, the writers are trying really hard to create a super couple. It's so Pathetic, yet sad at the same time. They had a super couple right under their noses, and they abandoned Liason for this mess. The thing that gets me is how sexy and put together Jason looks, in his scenes with Sam. He looks so much better when he cuts his hair regularly--no douby damanded by the writers.

I couldn't watch the whole show today. I mean, what is Kelly Monaco's role on the show? She should not be on the show! I am so sick of her. A good s/l would be to have a quadrangle with Liz and all the guys I mentioned above. I know I biased to Rebecca Hearbst, but she deserves it. She is by far a much better actress than Kelly! The writers need to wake up!

Spinelli spends too much time tooting his own horn. Now he has bragged to an under cover police officer how he can move money undetected. Good move damian...another one that good old Dante' will send to prison.
Claudia looked good again today. It really is too bad they have made her so aweful as being Sonny's wife/business partner may have been interesting. I always liked Kate with Sonny but, don't think she would have done well in the bar scene today. What was wrong with the drink?
WHY would Robin tell Alexis what her, Pat, Sam and Jason are doing? And, it has got to be against hospital rules to go through files with outsiders. Why would Pat risk having Sam and Jason there? Makes no sense....
Hated the exchange between Max and Diane. I guess it's because Diane won't be on much that they couldn't have them make up. Too bad, always got a kick out of them. Diane did look too old for Max today.
What is the song they play everytime the symbol is shown? I know it.....
Cynic, ttoyou or anyone else in Florida...PLEASE tell me they fould Summer, the 7 year old who has been missing for 2 days...

Love that Diane is back and in rare form.
Get Michael to a hypnotist or something; he needs professional help. anybody have any ideas on what the grafitti is about? Was the pregnant gal just filler or is there more to the story; if it's just filler, gh doesn't need filler; they need finish the current story lines.

Posted by ttoyou at Wednesday, October 21 2009 02:49 PM

Ransom, it's my understanding that they found a body in a dumpster they think is the 7 year old. It's painful to listen to.
Also, my computer is often not connected and I don't want to set up cable until I'm in my own home.
Only caught half of today's show as I had to go house hunting, but is Spinelli maturing? Love his new 'do.
I also wish that Claud and Sonny could play this part out together and I'm hoping they don't kill the character. JMO
Ransom, I would love to skype but at this time I have no camera. Left my cam corder back in MA as I haven't used it in awhile. But give me a chance to get into my own home and we can figure things out

Hello everyone.

I have to make it quick but watching the end of OLTL, there was a GH ad. Elizabeth opens the door and JJ stands there saying remember me. The voice over says he was her first love and the love of her life and now he is back Lucky Spencer returns this Thursday.


All I can say to that is they better make it be that GV was an imposter or something because if ABC has done another disrespectful ad I will call, write letters, emails and faxes. ABC did an ad when the orignal actress that played Greenlee on AMC returned to the show after they let go Ms Sabine. The ad said the real Greenlee is back. That was such bad taste. I swear if they pull the same stunt again they will anger more people. Just because you change the actor does not mean you get to use terms like the real, so and so. It makes it seem as if the other actor was a ghost.


Im going to stop ranting now and just hope and pray that Fronz and everyone else involved with that ad at ABC daytime aren't a bunch of inconsiderate fools who need classes on respect.

Ok stopped ranting. I may be back on later if not defiantely tomorrow.

Mehetabel, with all due respect, I disagree with your assertion that Rebecca Herbst is a much better actress than Kelly Monaco. I know that some people don't like Kelly's style of acting (they talk about her hands, or her playing with her hair or whatever), but to me, that makes her seem more like a real person (instead of a character on a show) because I know real people who do all those things. Heck, I probably do all those things from time to time - probably even more than I realize! To me, Sam is a completely believable and real character, and that would seem to be the mark of a good actress.

And I'm not saying that RH is a bad actress or anything like that, but I felt like I needed to speak up for KeMo here as many of us really like Sam and the job Kelly is doing with the character. JMO, of course.

I may be the only one, but I cant stand Dante or teenage Michael! Their S/Ls are really boring too!
Jason is annoying me with his crazy obsessive behavior, too. Not typical of him!
What's to like about GH, right now? Luke is back! YEA!

Posted by COLOMBIAN PRINCESS at Wednesday, October 21 2009 04:01 PM

I'm sorry that your so confused about Liz!!! I;m hearing what your saying about the writer and you have half it correct but the rest your wrong. I believe Sam is a big part of the show. The writer need to go back and read some of the story in the past to con't the story corrctly. Jason and Liz are not good together at all how can you not see that! they are so boring together while Sam and Jason enjoy the same things.. Lucky why are they changing him? idk... but may be the writer will make both them charcters more enjoyable to watch. Claudia need to leave and Carly have the baby already. Alexis is a royal Pain.

Posted by Cynic at Wednesday, October 21 2009 04:41 PM

Is Sonny supposed to let Carly know his every move? The way she threw a tantrum because he had not let her know that he was going out of town was just childish. She and Jax are becoming more obnoxious by the day.

Claudia looked stunning today. I wish they were not writing her out as she and Sonny make a great power couple. She makes me think of Livia, the wife of Caesar Augustus. I like the way they are taking the show out of Port Charles occasionally and giving it an exotic look.

I for one cannot wait to see the Ian Devlin /counterfeit drug connection s/l wrapped up. It seems like it has gone on forever.

Clever boy Dante, buttering up Spinelli to get information on how to move money around. I am beginning to suspect that Ronnie is not all he seems. He just wants to get Sonny killed by any means ASAP.

Off topic:

Sadly, the body of a little girl has been found in a trash dump in the area where little Summer lived. I don't know what is wrong with Florida, but we are getting more than our fair share of missing children and young girls.
