General Hospital: Perkie's Observations

I'm starting to lose faith in Lante. Lulu is ruining everything. What the heck is she thinking blabbing around all of Port Charles about Dante's secret!? I love Lulu and Dante together, but seriously....Lulu needs to cap her mouth SHUT!

BensonLiviaHurst (Olivia) is so dumb for leaving that picture in that drawyer where Johnny would find it! Another strange and questionable move by a woman on this show....why must every woman on GH be brought down to the point where they arent intelligent?! NO woman on GH right now is smart....maybe Epiphany but she's just recurring! ROBIN could be but now all of a sudden she's letting her husband's ex flail all over him. Don't get me started on Liz.....Sam is Jason's slave.....I could go one forever. Guza really degrades women.

Yup..That was James Franco in the hoodie, my mind skipped a beat when I saw him.  Lulu, Lulu, Lulu, You numbnut, u could not keep your mouth shut about Dante being a cop, How could she have been yelling so loud when Johnny 'left' after she had just warned him to keep an eye on Dante/Dominic?...I'll say it again, she's dumb, At this point, I'll take Lante at face value, if it's good, fine..if not, whatever.  I swear she's already far off the edge of my annoyance.

I love Jason Morgan (hence the screenname), but if I have to hear one more speech about why he can't claim his son, I will throw something at the screen, I don't really have an opinion of his choice either way, but please, stop repeating the same thing over and over. (Wow, I just bashed Jason, I must not be in a good mood today or maybe it's residual anger from LooLoo).

Liz...Seriously, How low can you go?                                                  

Nik is just an arrogant idiot, so I'm not gonna go into it. Couldn't he have waited 5 seconds after breaking up with Rebecca before he went stumbling to Liz's place? ugh!!                                                                                                                                                        Oh, almost forgot, Dante telling Sonny that Johnny might've sent the pic was not cool. I don't understand why he did that, so if somebody could explain, that would be nice.

That Joey Limbo is an irritating character, I hated how he threw the coin on the floor when Franco was posed as homeless, give it to him by hand, or not at all..Jeez...

Oh..Sonny said something about his mom being physically abused and how he doesn't want that for Olivia, but does he actually realize that he's doing the exact same thing to his women, but it's severe emotional/mental abuse? Just pointing that out.                                         I wanna see more Davis girls interaction Dammit!!! and I completely agree with u about Rebecca, Haul ass and don't beg Nik.

P.S. I apologize in advance if I sound particularly bitchy today.

OK...MY COUNTDOWN TO JAMES FRANCO HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED.                                            

Whoa, Perkie says she officially hates Liz & Sb_fan takes a shot at Jason??? What's going on here?? lol

Love that Nik was able to just get in Liz's house waiting for her with some liquor yet Lucky had to knock.

Liz just can't denyy her feelings for Nik, that attraction is too much for her to bear. She has to give in. I was kind of hoping they would start out on the floor and end up in the bedroom upstairs. "From the windows to walls!"  Love Niz. LizFF

But I must admit, I was smitten with the LnL2 scenes. They still have that chemistry and they have an easiness with each other after 10 years of not acting together.

I don't like all this Jason talk. I really hope those spoilers about a custody battle with JaSam involved aren't true.  I do not want Sam involved nowhere in Liz's life right now.

JF looked dirty sexy cool today. He can play a bum good. A sexy bum. I guess having Luke referee isn't working since the guy still wants to kill SaSon.

Really what's the point of Olivia, what? They don't need her for the reveal. Sonny comparing Johnny to his abusive stepfather!? This is the same thing they are doing to Ross over at OLTL. That's why I don't watch that crap anymore. Johnny is not violent. He has never been. He use to be reckless but not violent. Sonny and Olivia has no chemistry. She is not neede for the reveal. The storyline could be about Dante and Sonny trying to forge a son/father relationship. We don't need her wanna be hood behind involved.  Get rid of her. Shrew-Lu and her lungs. That girl need her mouth wired shut until Dante's case is over with.

@ Daisy..LOL, crazy, right? I haven't slept in 48 hours due to endless lab work and trying to finish that damn senior thesis, so maybe If I catch some Zzzzz's now, I'll be back to normal tomorrow and keep the crazy talk to a minimum

Everything else I typed pretty much remains the same.

This show is going down the toilet real fast! People are acting so out of character.

So Kate is going to be the Mayor Floyd of the JF storyline? I am sure it is going to be as coherent as Martha Byrne's 's/l!

Perkie I told you long ago it was in part about who a character screwed over. Lizard is not jerking jj's lucky around and now you are starting to feel what I felt the day she told Carly she all but deserved to be raped/she was lying about being raped. Wait til Ric comes back and she hits him with a lead pipe and suddenly I suspect your hate will turn to loathing.

As for her uncontrollable lust, I would buy her undeniable lust for Nic if we hadnt just seen her agreeing to marry Lucky and claiming she couldnt help herself re: Jason. Same story, differnt floor.

Asa returning viewer (thank you, James Franco) I can't stand Liz either.  I always thought she was a hypocritical bitch but now she's is just disgusting.  I can't wait until Lucky founds out.

Is Lulu the dumbest character on daytime?  I think she might be, she makes Daisy from GL look like a Rhodes scholar.

Damn, James Franco is hot!  I'm so happy they showed him since that means that we will probably get a lot of him today and I was afraid of having the JF episode be like the one today ie, a nanosecond shot of JF in a hoodie as a friday cliffhanger.

I stand proudly with BigDede, and while I hate what TIIC are doing to her character, I can or never will turn my back on Liz.  I will take the lumps from LizHaters and since I pretty much know there will be no LnL with JJ's version in the helm I can profess my like of NIZ..no  my love of NIZ. 

Any story that has nothing to do with the Mob and brings back core families has me in that corner, because after listening to Sonny talk to Olivia about Johnny I was on boil. I can see the writing on the wall with my poor hot Johnny.  Sonny we get it you were locked in a closet as a kid, but I feel no sympathy anymore for you.  In fact, the last ounce of sympathy flew out the door the moment you locked up Johnny.  That was the day you turned into Deke in my book.

And was I imagining that scene with Carly and Jason because now she hates Liz.  So the writers are just planning on forgetting that she apologized to Liz and said she was always right for protecting her kids

It took you this long to come around to hating Liz? I jumped on that bandwagon years ago. It's not so much her cheating, since that's a staple in soaps.  It's her holier-than-thou hypocrisy and the way that every other character treats her like she's the modern reincarnation of the Madonna.  The sooner she gets knocked off that pedestal, the better.

Thanks ABC for already messing up the James Franco appearance.  Friday, November 20th???  Try, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH!!!  At that point, you should've just promoted it as "coming the week of November 16th".    And you wonder why ratings are down?  LEARN HOW TO PROMOTE SOMETHING CORRECTLY!!!  Not good fools.

This storyline better be good, cause the way things stand right now, I still say One Life to Live is the best soap on the air right now.

I am in total agreement with the way the writers make the women of gh so dumb. They start out smart, but once guza gets ahold of them, it's ''curtains".

What happen to MS Phelps saying they listen to the fans? The writers have totally destroyed Elizabeth. They have made Lulu have the biggest mouth in soap history. They have taken the Olivia character to the most wishy-washy person.

I'm concerned about the direction they are going with Johnny, one of the best actors on gh.

They have taken Sonny to an all time low. I used to tolerate him, now I can't stand the character.

Just leave it to the writers to start something good and make it go DOWNHILL in a hurry.

I think GH did the right thing in promoting friday the 20th as the day James Franco appears.  If they had promoted thursday's episode which had a glimpse of James Franco only then a lot of people would have been dissapointed instead now all those people tuning in will actually get to see James Franco act (I hope) and not jst a quick glance of his hotness

hmmm....I really don't understand why everyone is so upset with Lulu....She has known Sonny her entire life...he has always been there for  her (visiting her in shadybrook) and Johnny is someone she once claimed to love.....Is she supposed to have no reaction at all to someone trying to send them to jail???hell she barely even knows Dante/Dominic....I think its natural that she's torn between what's right in the big picture and what's right for her family....Does she want to sent Michael and Morgan's father to jail? What about Carly (her cousin), how is this going to affect her? Spinelli, one of her closest friends, how would Jason's incarceration affect him....There are a lot f reasons why Lulu would feel the need to tell someone and lots of reasons why she shouldn't...

WOW I never thought I'd see the day where I'd defend Lulu....

People keep saying how horrible it is that someone is trying to send Sonny to jail.  Dante is trying to send Sonny to jail.  Jax wants to send Sonny to jail.  Oh the horror.  You know what?  If Sonny wasn't a CRIMINAL, there wouldn't be any way that someone could send him to jail. 

Lulu may be crying a river, but Sonny is a criminal who belongs in jail, whether he's a family friend or not.

It's not like Dante or Jax are conspiring against an innocent person (think Andrea Floyd setting up Alexis for Brianna Hughes murder).  This is a man who has spent his entire adult life on the wrong side of the law and had the money to hire people to keep him out of prison, WHERE HE BELONGS.

So no, I don't understand Lulu or Olivia or any other mob apologist who whine and complain at the nerve of law enforcement to do their jobs. 

And don't get me started on the people who wring their hands at Sonny's claustrophobia, like somehow that should preclude him from paying for his crimes.

End of rant.

My biggest problem with the Lucky/Liz/Nik debacle seems to be how everyone is playing it. 

To me, JJ is playing Lucky as this giant wussy suck, with puppy dog eyes, who suddenly can't live without Elizabeth and is therefore ignoring all the signs that something is wrong and that she deep down doesn't want to marry him.  Anyone who takes longer than 1 minute to say yes to a proposal, should raise a flag.  But he ignores everything.  Even that scene with Luke, he was almost beggin Luke not to rain on his parade.  Granted Luke was being a douchebag in his cryptic-ness, but still. 

Even in his scenes with Jason, he's practically beggin him for information.  I don't like this wimpy-fication of Lucky and how JJ is playing it.

As for LizNik, I might get more into it if there was some heat between them, but I just don't see it. 

Nikolas looks more like he just wants what he can't have, not that he's all that interested in her. 

And LIz gives lip service to her desire, but I don't see it.  NOw maybe that's because TC does nothing for me, so I don't see it, but I just don't know.

Liz can deny her feelings for Nik if she can stay away from Jason.  I don't hate Liz, just GH PTB and the writing of course.

Best moment by far was Johnny listening to Lulu and Dante. It got interesting in that moment. The rest, especially Jason and Carly, is just a repeat as usual. What stories are moving forward.... Johnny, Dante, Sonny, Lulu and hopefully Maxi. The rest of GH is just standing still.

Perkie, I agree that there are several problems with the Lucky/Liz/Nik triangle and that's why I can't get into it. And the worst part of it is that I don't BELIEVE that Nik and Liz are that into each other. IF I believed that they had this all-consuming passion for each other, and IF they actually had a good reason to keep lying to, betraying, and humiliating Lucky, then MAYBE I might be more into it. But no...

And is it just me, or does JJ's Lucky always seem on the verge of tears? Not just with Liz but with everyone. His scenes with Luke, Nik, Jason, even the Mayor. His eyes are watery and his voice is all quivery. I'm like, "Why the hell is Lucky so weepy??"

I for one dont put Dante and Jax into the same category. Dante never made a promise to anyone but the NYPD. He is trying to arrest Sonny for crimes he ACTUALLY committed and he takes NO pleasure in what he is doing - he is taking action solely because he thinks its the right thing to do.

Jax on the other hand made a committment to Carly and he promised her that he would accept her relationship with SaSon and share in the parenting of Sonny's sons. His actions here dont honor that committment. Moreover he isnt trying to nail Sonny for the crap he actually did, but rather for the one crime he DIDNT commit, so not only is he taking a step that could adversely impact Michael but also one that jeapordizes the REAL investigation. Finally there are his motivations.  He is practically cackling and rubbing his hands in glee. In his mind, if it werent for Sonny, he wouldnt have been in a position to lie to Carly about Jerry and Claudia and thus his marriage wouldnt be on the rocks. 

 I don't Lucky using Jason pain for giving up Jake to give the information , that is so wrong , Jason is in pain for this so why rip it in his face?????????????????????

I always didn't like Liz and for me she is doing what she always did lying to everyone .......

Carly was right on Liz made Jason feel he is not good enough to be with his own son and that is wrong what happened to Michael will not happened to Jake there is not safe life I hope that Jason will finally claim his son !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok Sonny is a criminal we know that but he helped his friends and his family Lulu has many ties with him Carly is her family member what she will do when she knows Lulu knew about that and still let him get busted what Spinelli will do when Jason is also busted .No one hates Dante But I do hate Jax because he knows that all truth and he only wants Sonny out of the way so he will finally win , I hate Jax because he is trying to put two guys that Calry depend on them behind bars two guys that Morgan and Michael needs them 

Yes it was James  Franco and I am not mad I was happy about that gift 

GHLover that big block in red is a load of crap in my book.  Carly was all ok with what Liz did when HER son was shot in the head, but now that he is ok then its all Liz kept you away, made you think you were a horrible father.  Please I never got the idea EVER that Liz thought Jason wouldn't make a good father.  It was his choice of lifestyle, so for that I call Bullsh!t on that entire scene.

And as much as I want Jason to claim Jake as his son - I do not,  I repeat DO NOT think Jason should be allowed full custody of him or any child because of his career choice.  Liz might be an adulterer and a liar but she is no career criminal. 

So, i just finished a week of shows yesterday and by thursday, it was difficult not to FF all but Johnny and Lucky.  BB seems to get better with each episode, I may not have wanted Claudia killed off but her death has given him his best scenes to date.  And Olivia who first crossed me by putting Johnny and Sonny ahead of her son has now hung Johnny out to dry. Why would she have put that picture in that draw? And how could she believe he would have taken that picture?  I am not a Jolivia fan, I wanted JoMax, but Johnny deserved better from Olivia. I have really fallen for Johnny and I hope I am wrong about the feeling that he is being written off the show.

I also don't like the way LuLu is being written, she should be smarter. I don't mind that she is torn about the ramifications of Sonny going to jail, I just think her actions, going to Sonny and Luke and hinting but not telling outright are dumb. I expressed my fear that pairing her with Dante would bring the return of the over the top Lulu and it's coming to pass. I also think Dante is on too much. When comparing this show to OLTL the thing that stands out most is the balance of sls. Noone is on everyday.

As for Lucky, I love the way JJ is playing him. His insight into Claudia's murder is contrasted with his stubborn determination to make it work with Liz. I think his conversation with Luke was the clue, his parents were his idols all those years on the run, he got to see one of the great love stories and he won't let the rape or Ethan destroy that image of love, I hate Niz for all sorts of reasons but the hurt that Lucky is going to feel has gone to the top of the list because of JJ.  I still don't hate Liz though. I actually watched some Niz scenes and the only reason for Liz to be there is...that's whats written on the script.

I LOVE Liz and hate her story line based on what I am reading in recaps.  Liz hasn't been in love with Lucky since the paternity elevator reveal, she was already IN love with Jason.

Nik is a douche bag that snuck around with Emily when she was with Zander and then Courtney when she was with Jax, so why are we surprised he would go after his brother's fiancee? 

Spencer/Cassadine war would have worked if it was LuSam.

FREE ELIZABETH!

FREE JASON!

How can Sonny be around Michael and Morgan when he signed away his legal rights as their father?

Carly was in agreement about Liz keeping Jake safe from Jason's lifestyle and Liz has NEVER stated that Jason would be a bad father, just the danger associated with his job.

 Ravennite613  You didn't feel that way when Liason were involved right???????Again if Liz would have thought that he was a good fathers she will not asked him that , and also that was not the reason she before she asked him she said I know you would protect him , her first reason was that she still waned  Lucky, like now , she can't let him go so she is destroying him....

I am for one never liked Jason job But I love Jason always , and I will will think that he can raise his son and will always hate liz for saying no........

Liz is also going to cause pain for her kids when Lucky will find out the truth he will be mad and the kids will witness that how perfect life it is ???????

Yes that was out of the blue with Carly because she did told Liz she knows her reasons maybe it was a plot point and it will just get bigger ...

I see something new in Jake S/L or that they will change his paternity or that Jason will finally raise his son as it should be   

Carly has pretty much always LOATHED Lizard - she had a moment of weakness when Michael was in the hospital, but that was always the anamoly.  Her true feeling is that Jason would be a great father and should be with his son.  She has said that time and time again so I have to believe that the calling of Bu!!shit would have had to have been on her renunciation of that position.

Geez, lots of activity here today!

Perkie...you were spot on with your notEmily assessment.  Her interpretation of Nik's confession is, Wow, the fact that he came clean must mean that he really respects me...and might even love me.  He said he is in love with someone else, but clearly that was Emily.  After all, why else would he spend all his free time with me (except when he's not), look at me that way (with  pure derision) and make love to me so passionately (because he's pretending you're Liz).  Yeah, he'll come around; I just have to be patient.  Nik should be careful; the woman is THISCLOSE to boiling his rabbit!  Not that I would mind though; he has been asking for some kind of ass-kicking for a while now.

Re: Lucky...yup, I agree with the poster who said he always seems on the verge of tears, but I attribute that to Lucky being a very sensitive and soulful person.  We have said time and time again that BooLoo is more like Luke and Lucky is more like Laura, and I think these characteristics are even more apparent now.  Yesterday was Lucky's first scene with BooLoo, right?

Re: BooLoo - grr!  My protest continues!

Re: Niz...Damnit!  I SO wish I hadn't promised to refrain from saying mean things about Liz for the rest of the week (because she apologized to Sam).  I even went back to look at the precise language of my post in search of loopholes, but alas - there were none.  Well, save me a seat on the Liz-bashing bus, because I will be back on Monday - ready to go!

Re: JF...If anyone on the East Coast happens to catch the show while us West Coasters are still at the office, please, please, PLEASE come back and let us know if today's episode is awesome.  Please!
 

Carly has always hated LIz, but she had a moment of clarity when her son was shot and now that he's out of the coma, she's buried her head back in the sand of denial where there's no violence around SaSon and Jason should be around all children.

I agree about Lucky and the wet eyes.  It's not only annoying, but it's very distracting.  I wonder if he was told that GV played it very stoic and unemotional so he's doing a 360 in the other direction.   I wish he would stop.

Still can't picture JJ's Lucky with Maxie or Sam.

Sorry, double post.

Sonny's a douchebag!!!

Carly is just a stupid fool.  Now that Dexter Jr. is out and about killing folks with axes and threatening people with that stupid smirk on his face, she's all mad that Jake is not in Jason's life. 

Liz doesn't want he son with a bullet in the head, sorry Carly.  You live and breath based on the color of Jason's and Sonny's balls.  She can't even listen to her husband who doesn't want his daughter to be laid up in the hospital.

ALso why would Carly make Sonny sign away his rights if she's so mad that Liz kept Jake away from jason. Idiot.

I'm a Liz FF and I'm not fickle.
