General Hospital: Perkie's Observations

Sounds like a good GH day Perkie!  I can't wait to watch.  Thanks for posting!

Let's see how long it takes for someone to point out to Lucky that Liz caught him with Sarah and Maxie and heard about his romp with Sam......

I'm Team Liz all THE WAY! 

Jonathan Jackson was AMAZING, today. I'm still in shock. Wow.

Was Lizard brainwashed by Helena CASSADINE (as in Nik CASSADINE) at the time the way Lucky had been right before he boinked Sarah?

And if she forgave Lucky in exchange for him forgiving her for her dealings with Jason, then isnt that a wash.

He left when he was with Sam, she isnt involved in this.

Perkie I have not watched today's show.  But like you said, WHY do tptb have to send Carly to Jason.  I am so sick of them reminding us that Liason is not going to happen!!!!!
Someone with half a brain and who is in charge at GH needs to look at the ratings and put my couple back together.
Thanks for posting!!!!

Jenny, I'm the same way. Wow. She had it comin'. He had it comin'. Loved that Lucky had Luke to turn to. I might have to watch this episode again, it was that powerful.

Great post Perkie, you are spot on. Despite the gravity of today's show, those were some damn funny lines. L'dMAO about the ketchup reference to TC.

Jonathon Jackson, of course, killed it.  But is it just me or does anyone else think Becky Herbst was kinda bad?  For some reason, I just wasn't feeling her performance.

JONATHAN JACKSON IS THE MAN!!!!!!!

this is his emmy win , he had me bawling from the beginning those scenes were awesome he has come back with a bang

I think Rebecca was great far better than Tyler Christopher who checked out a long time ago he looks so bored he just needs to quit already if he is done with this role if not he needs to perk (lol) up a bit.

Laughed at Carly showing up when she did and than running off to Jason , she should not be talking about unfit mothers

I hated that they have Maxie lying to Mac to

I don't think im gonna delete this episode from my dvr for a while

WELCOME BACK JJ!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I get that all of Luke's children have vastly different personalities but...........since when is Lulu an eternal optimist???  She's made a career of making sure everyone around her knows that she doesn't believe in happily ever after, so what gives? I'm going to assume it was a throwaway line so that Ethan could be classified as the cynic.  Which he is, but in a different way than Lulu. It's interesting that "professional writers" couldn't open up a thesaurus and find another word for cynical to describe her.

As for Lucky/Liz/Nik? Love, love, LOVED those scenes today.  I can't believe after all this that Nik is still going to try and get with Liz - could he be more of a pig...barf!! It's going to be interesting to see how they go about putting LL2 back together (I'm tentatively looking forward to it).  At first I was hoping that Lucky wouldn't fall back on a GH staple of calling Liz a whore/tramp/etc. and I was a little annoyed that he did go there.  However, he made up for it later by acknowledging that he was suprised when said those words.  Unlike Sonny, who throws them out like dollar bills, it really showed that Lucky knows that under normal circumstances he would NEVER say those things.  Makes me love him even more....and Sonny even less .

Speaking of Sonny, does anyone wish that he would go take a flying leap (and take Michael with him)? Or is it just me?

Ash Nelson tweeted that same thought and put it on his facebook and most agreed .  He said she needed an acting refresher course.

My favorite part was about using the kids to manipulate Lucky and how the thing she seemed most concerned about was how many in pc knew about her cheating. I thought YEP its the same way she was with JASON.

JJ rocks.

Today was like every Liz haters wet dream, I loved it.  TC seems to be sleepwalking again.

Darn it I missed Lulu finding out, *off to youtube*

I agree with you Perkie.  JJ just earned his 4th Emmy today.  The man was fabulous, and he said all the things I've been thinking for months.  I had a hard time watching Becky Herbst because I didn't feel she showed much emotion until the scene where she overturned that table and fell on the couch sobbing...that's when I felt Elizabeth's pain. 

As for Tyler Christopher if your job bores you that much it's time to quit and find another one.  Don't make us suffer for your unprofessionalism.

I was not happy about Dante's conversation with Olivia about how guilty he's feeling for bringing Sonny down.  Please, please, please GH don't mob up Dante.  I hope his attitude changes once his father guns him down. 

I am so looking forward to seeing Lulu's reaction with both Nikolas and Liz tomorrow.

Let me say once again...  OMG!!!  What an incredible hour!

I really felt the Luke/Tracy talk.  They do make a great mature couple.

Loved Spinelli's line to Sonny and Jason, "Maxie's gonna crack like an egg!".

Glad Sam tried to see if she could help Maxie.  Loved Diane coming to Maxie's rescue with Mac.  Hillarious!  I just love Diane!

What is with Dante and Johnny discussing everything "undercover" out in the open on the docks while little Michael intently listens in the shadows?  Not cool.

Absolutely hated that Nik came to Liz's rescue with "It's not her fault" more than once.  No of course it isn't.  Then who the hell's fault is it?  Was she not spreading her legs for him on more than one occasion?  Of course it's her fault!  She could have always said NO.  It's only a two letter word but it sure as heck isn't in her tiny vocabulary!  Loved that Lucky saw through it all, even her attempt to guilt him with the kids.  

The hardest thing to watch is such an extremely talented actor in scenes with two mediocre actors.  The difference is glaring! 

JONATHAN JACKSON HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!  He was AWESOME today!

Loved Carly's timing, how quickly she retreated and how equally fast she hightailed it over to Jason's.  Loved Lucky telling her that he'd be at the christening but he didn't think Liz or Nik would be because "they'll probably be rutting like farm animals".  LMAO

Loved the Lucky/Luck scene.  Very intense, very powerful.  I was glad that Luke gave Lucky a chance to get everything off his chest and then poured him a mug of coffee and cut off the liquor.  It's a pleasure to watch two top notch actors on the top of their game!

Enjoyed Lulu giving it to Nik!  I hope she pushes him off the pier tomorrow!
 

HERE!!!! HERE!!!!!

JJ owned it today, and the names Lucky was calling Liz, all I can say is wowwwwwww!!!!!!!
What irony that Carly of all people was the first to know about it and that she went straight to Jason.
Loved the scenes between Lucky and Luke.

Didn't like that fact that Maxie had to lie to Mac.
I hope they don't make Dante join the mob, when it's all said and done.

oh today's episode was great!!  JJ was FIRE......RH wasn't bad either IMO....she was up to her usuaual standard ( which isn't bad).....I laughed so hard when Carly showed up at the door and when she went straight to Jason....that was totally in character.....I can't wait for tomorrow.....

I am not a JJ or BH fan I have always liked TC though but today I like JJ. As far as BH yeah I didn't see much from her at first. Then she picked up a little more reaction and she seemed to really get into the part. I have read where some people think her trying to fling the coffee table was lame but I see a tiny girl and it probably is a regualr coffee table not made of thin material like they do when they want the furniture to break, also she is preggers and I wouldn't be throwing crap around in my early months either. OK, enough of this nice crap.

I also see Nik as trying to be involved in the scenes but he didn't have much to say other then "its not her fault" even though I don't remember Nik raping her, kidnapping her or forcing her to have sex with him so uummmm  I think some of it was her fault, but other then that I don't see how Nik was suppose to "act" he was there to hear the lecture and Lucky sure wasn't listening. LOL oh well it was some great scenes.

Loved how Liz begged Lucky not to tell Carly and he gets that smirk on his face and lets her in.
Love how it looks like Liz is more worried about what people are going to say and think then what will happen with her and Lucky's relationship or her saving Lucky, as her mantra has been for three freaking years now.   
Love the Carly / Liz hate which looks like it might be back on .
Love giddy Carly. I am a Carly fan she is like Sam for me.
Liked the Michael scenes, that boy is going to be big trouble but would like for his "visions" to start kicking in as the carnvial lady told him.
 I am not much of a Jason fan though, he so needs to go on vacation.

anyone else think Becky Herbst was kinda bad? 

Really??  I thought BH did a bang up job.  Liz alternated between looking like someone punched her in the gut, and looking like she was going to throw up.  And she tried to hard to work him as best she could, bringing up the kids and all.  But he was having none of it (and rightfully so). 

Then when she threw herself on the couch after he left, crying.  Almost made me feel bad for her (I said ALMOST!!!)

Which he is, but in a different way than Lulu

I don't see Lulu as cynical.  I think she wants people to beleive she is, so that she protects her heart, but I don't see it.

 I can't believe after all this that Nik is still going to try and get with Liz -

I know, right!!  He's all, "come here baby and let me make you feel better" and she's all "my life just imploded get the fuck away from me".

going to be interesting to see how they go about putting LL2 back together

I think this is the nail in L&L2's coffin.  Of course, this is soap, and they can put any couple they want together.  But really, no one is going to get back together with someone that cheated on them with their sibling.  You don't get over that. 

"Hey honey, I was just telling the grandkids about that time I caught you banging great uncle Nikolas.  Good times, good times"

I really felt the Luke/Tracy talk.  They do make a great mature couple

Oooh yes, I forgot to mention them in my Lucky smackdown euphoria!!  I like when they make Lacey behave properly (and not running down to Mexico to talk divorce in bars). 

Enjoyed Lulu giving it to Nik!  I hope she pushes him off the pier tomorrow

Yes, right after she kicks him in the family jewels!!!

Perkie - "Hey honey, I was just telling the grandkids about that time I caught you banging great uncle Nikolas.  Good times, good times."

Perkie, very very funny!

I'm going to have to watch today's show again in a little while but it's on SoapNet right when one of my favorite evening shows is on, Castle so I guess I'm going to be flipping back and forth for an hour.  I just have to see it all again!!!

this was the best episode of GH in a long time.

I'm the loner here and I will say again. Lulu has no right to spout her crap to Nik. What is the difference between Nik screwing Liz or Jason screwing Liz and having a baby and lying for a year about it to Lucky. That girl decided to help Liz and Jason lie to Lucky. She did not see anything wrong in what they were doing so what the hell is the difference. How is Liz screwing  both brothers and lying over and over worse then lying about your brothers so called son? She needs to keep out of this mess and shut it.

I just watched the Lucky/Liz/Nik scenes for the 6th time.

"Who cares if I'm drunk!....Drunk! Sober! Sober! Drunk!.....I can still smell every lie that comes out of your mouth!"

Seriously! JJ was FIYAH!! 

OK, its clearly JJ's emmy to be had best actor, he is past young actor the man is beyond words. The other men on this show can't carry his jock strap including Anthony Geary and Maurice Benard yes they had there day but JJ rules GH and any other soap for that matter no other actor is in his league right now!!!!!! KUDO'S JONATHAN KUDO'S AND HAND CLAPS TO YA!

Great Stuff!  Loved JJ, just loved him.  What a talented actor.  I'd be shocked if he didn't get an Emmy. But I don't see why ppl didn't like RH.  I think she did great. If someone was yelling in my face and I got caught betraying him, I don't see having any different reaction than she did.  She showed a bunch of different emotions and her tears and fear and guilt and frustration looked genuine.  I don't know what else ppl wanted her to do.  She couldn't yell back.  She had no right.  She was clearly in the wrong.  Lucky had most of the lines.  Liz just had to try and get some words in here or there but was mostly mortified.  I think she played it well.

Nik, I dunno.  He did look bored but he probably was.  He just had to stand there too.  But he looked sooooo hurt when Liz told him that she hates him right now and asked him to leave.  That was good right there.  But he did deserve it.  How could he try and get with her after what just happened?

Carly.  AAArrgghh I wanted to hit her.  She ran all giddy and smug to tell on them to Jason.  I don't understand how ppl can get satisfaction and joy out of someone else's misery.  Yeeaaaahhhh ppl are really hurting right now and going through some sh1t so I'm going to be happy about it and tell everyone about them.  Nice.  And yeah, it makes soooooo much sense that Jason should claim Jake b/c being in house where there's drama going on is soooo much worse than getting shot in the head.  Even if Jake suffers some emotional drama cuz of this it's better than having to dodge bullets or getting kidnapped.  Didn't Carly tell Liz that she understood why she kept Jake's paternity a secret when Michael got shot?  Now, after the whole Franco thing, she thinks Jake is better of with Jason b/c Jake's mother is having an affair. Whatever.

And why oh why are they making Dante feel bad about busting Sonny.  You are a cop.  Sonny is a criminal that kills people.  You were so excited and adamant about wanting to bust him.  But b/c he offered you his legacy you get all mushy about him.  I knew this would happen.  God forbid the criminals in this town actually pay for what they do.

And it will be Olivia's fault when Dante gets shot.  Well Sonny's fault for shooting him, but Olivia could have prevented it all.  Instead of protecting her son, she tries to protect Sonny.
 

And I'm loving that song they keep playing.  The music dept knows how to pick em.

Anyone else notice that this is the best AG has been in a long time. It took getting JJ back to make Luke likeable again.

 "I can smell every lie that come out of your mouth"....."What is it about cheating that turns your on"....Lucky to Liz...today's GH was pure magic...a classic.  Saved on the DVR for a VERY long time...JJ is the best actor in daytime....period.

I loved, loved, loved today's show!! I wanted to FF through everything else just to get back to JJ's performance. By far one of the best episodes in a long, long time. I've already watched it twice, and will probably watch it again.

BEST. DAY. EVER!!!

This is the first time in a LONG time that I nearly broke my REWIND button, LOL.

I am rewatching the show on SoapNet and does anyone else besides myself think Tracey seems to be losing weight?

OK to be fair to Carly she did try to leave and Lucky told her she didn't have to. and that to me is when Liz really starting to break down. Yes she was crying when Lucky was yelling but not until he opened the door did she really start getting upset and then to use the boys to stop Lucky from telling everyone. Yikes.

and does anyone else think Lucky is not that drunk? he has had enough drinks to make him feel he can say anything and to get everything off his chest but not drunk enought to go home to bed. As the fool is out driving between the Haunted Star and Liz's and back to the Haunted Star. I have been drunk and then I have been falling down drunk and to me Lucky is just starting to be drunk.  When he falls then I will say he is drunk. Of course some people think two beers and people are drunk (and some are, me for one)
 
1 beer, 2 beers, 3 beers, FLOOR    LMAO
