General Hospital: Perkie's Observations

Oh come on Perkie. You should know just as well as anyone that only the actors on contract are added to the opening, not the recurring actors like Megan Ward, Aaron Refvem,  & Haley Pullos.

Yes true but since when was nurse epiphany been on contract, i thought she was on recurring.

Although Dr. Webber (his real name escapes me at the moment) is on contract and he wasn't up there either. 

I loved the new opening credits and i LOVED the show today because it was MOSTLY about Lulu & Dante! I also HATE Lucky & Jason's sudden friendship/partnership!
So is Lucky suppose to be a "dirty cop" now? Really i think the show would be a better show if Jason/S.B were NOT on it!

Sonya Eddy has been on contract for 3 years. And my assumption about Scott Reeves is that he was only recently added to contract, and these openings are filmed far in advance, so he probably jus didn't film his shot yet.

Loved Lante today. That's the best current soap couple on any show now.

Also liking the new credits. Anything is an improvement over what we've been suffering through for a long time.

Having Jason Cook in the intro was a laugh. That was the most we've seen of him in ages lol

I love the chemistry between Jonathan Jackson & Kirsten Storms.  They should be paired together.

Mac wants someone honorable and loyal and honest on the PCPD, yet he and everyone else knows Dante is lying about the shooting?  Do we need CSI to come in here to reveal that the angle of the gun & proximity didn't match?  Just stupid.

Johnny was so freaking creepy w/ his needing sex immediately.  And why is it ok for Olivia to be w/ Johnny, a mobster, yet push herself and Dante away from Sonny, a mobster?

I keep hoping that during her meetings with Dante, Maxie will stumble upon the fact that Spinelli had a hand in getting him shot, but again today we got nothing. The Spixie storyline is just getting stale for me without any drama. Where's Franco when you need him?

I hate the friendship between Lucky and Jason too...I'm starting to wonder if, by playing up this angle, TPTB are finding a way to get Lucky off the force. I know a lot of people were questioning whether JJ's Lucky Spencer was cop material (Greg Vaughn seemed better suited physically for it)...and, well, you know how Guza loves to rewrite history. 

Johnny wanted Jason to know that it was him because he wants them to know who's taking them down...plus he knows that Jason can't kill him right now because everyone would know who did it.

UNQUOTE

Are you sure that is not exactly where Fruza is going with this?

When Spinelli was talking to Sam about lying for Mr. Sirs (Sonny) why did Sam actually say "I can't wait" WHAT. WHAT. Why does she want to lie for Sonny. Why does she want to lie for Sonny.  When she broke up with Jason, she talked about Sonny for the piece of trash he is. Now she's willing to steal evidence and lie for him. Why Sam why. I want 2007/08 Sam back badly.

The friendship between Jason/Lucky is so awful.  TIIC can't erase the relationship Lucky/Jason has had for the past 10 years just because JJ came back as Lucky. Lucky IS a dirty cop now. Why is he sharing information with the mob?

So Jason wants the cops to take care of Johnny so he doesn't have to kill Johnny. Aww how sweet, Jason likes Johnny and he is allowing Lucky and the cops to deal with Johnny. Wow thanks Jason.

I hate seeing Olivia and Johnny together especially since Olivia put Johnny's life in danger.  I think TIIC realized they can't put Sonny/Olivia together because it would just make her character even more awful if they pair her with the man who shot her son. But Johnny/Olivia are over in my eyes. I FF them. Also it was nasty with her boob almost showing.  She is really making sure her nickname of Booblivia is lived up to.

Also sick of Maxie/Dante talk. Why is Maxie all up on whether Dante really loves Lulu and whether he will hurt her and if he's lying to her. Maxie needs to worry about her man-child who works for the mobster who shot Lulu's boyfriend.

Tracy really needs to worry about her own kids.  Today really showed that they need Brooklyn back badly. Her getting into Lulu's business and getting mad that Luke didn't want to interfer was very stupid. She needs her own kids to worry about.

I still don't understand everything Ethan says and that boys smiles all the freakin time but I am enjoying him.  Again Lulu doesn't know how to use her inside voice. I know Tracy's eardrums were bleeding after talking with Lulu.

Lante is cute.  But can another couple be cute please?  I have no idea why GH only relies on one couple per year to be cute and loving. This is daytime, we need lots of cute, loving couples.  If it's only Lante, it will get played out very quickly. Give us more couples.

BD - the Cant Wait was sarcasm.

I pretty much thought todays epi was blah.  The only part I liked was the lie detector test stuff at the end.  The rest pretty much annoyed me.  Didnt understand Alexis not asking more questions of Diane either nor the Dante is going to transform into Sonny overnight (did Tracy find hair gel and and Italian suit in his hospital closet or something?? LOL)

BigDede - "When Spinelli was talking to Sam about lying for Mr. Sirs (Sonny) why did Sam actually say "I can't wait" WHAT. WHAT. Why does she want to lie for Sonny. Why does she want to lie for Sonny."

BigDede - It seems that you don't recognize sarcasam when you hear it.  When Sam said "I can't wait" she said it with complete and obvious sarcasam both in her voice and on her face!!!

Perkie, I hate the new friendship between Lucky and Jason too.  Yesterday Lucky told Jason that he was going to his meetings and staying stable for Cam and Jake.  Lucky has always played the danger card concerning Jason's lifestyle when it came to the boys' safety.  Lucky threw it in Liz's face outside Kelly's when he saw Jason comforting her.  But it is OK now for him to work with Jason?  It makes absolutely no sense.  Does Lucky think that the "danger"  that surrounds Jason will not touch or affect him?   Jucky do not seem to be thinking about the boys' safety by forming this alliance.  Just because JJ is back the writers have decided to rewrite the character's history.  When JY and GV played Lucky he and Jason were not friends.  Since Lucky has been a cop he and Jason have been on opposite sides of the law.  Lucky has gone after Jason every chance he could, he even tried to frame Jason for drug possession.  Now they are buddy/buddy?  The writers could have slowly written Lucky as re-thinking his career choice but this sudden working with the criminal that he has tried to put away just doesn't work.

I thought the new opening was a vast improvement over what we had for so long.
 Jason Cool (Matt)  in there was weird since he is never on.  Since Scott Reeves(Steve Webber) is now on contract I think they should add him asap.

Dante is going to transform into Sonny overnight (did Tracy find hair gel and and Italian suit in his hospital closet or something?? LOL)

This was just way too funny!

Okay sassy and EET, Sam already stole vital evidence for Sonny so why wouldn't she lie for him?

I don't think she was being sarcastic.  I think she was serious like she was excited. She's a thrill seeker. She likes living on the edge. I believe she will do it.

Does anyone think they will put the Ward girls in the opening credits when they come on?

I get where Tracy is coming from.  She's thinking if Ethan is so much like Luke having never met him until he was an adult, then maybe it's genetic.  So she's worried for Lulu that Sonny's douchbag womanizing ways are genetic and Dante may have inherited them.  I'm just happy to see that she really cares about Lulu!

Maxie, Maxie, Maxie..... sigh.....................

I enjoyed the game of tag that Jason and Lucky are playing.  I think Jason knows this is a really bad time to be involved in anything violent and he likes Johnny and doesn't want to have to make that choice.  At least he's thinking things through before just taking people out.  Johnny is like a mosquito and Jason's got bigger problems to deal with so why not let Lucky handle this little itchy one?

Loved the lie detector game with Lulu and Dante.  They're just so darn adorable together and boy are their kisses HOT!

Loved the opening credits but I wish Molly and Morgan were in them.   If those two actors have not been put on contract TPTB at GH are fools!
 

BigDede - "Okay sassy, Sam already stole vital evidence for Sonny so why wouldn't she lie for him?  I don't think she was being sarcastic.  I think she was serious like she was excited."

As I said, you clearly do not recognize sarcasam.  It was beyond obvious!  I didn't say she wouldn't lie for Sonny if she has to.  I simple said she wasn't thrilled by the idea and expressed that quite sarcastically.

I guess your view of sarcasam is quite different than mine.

Big Dede, I had a similar thought during those scenes, Tracy's meddling sent her sons running for the hills and we never hear about Brooklynn so who is looking to Tracy for parental advice. And while, I think she has genuine affection for Lulu, I don't see anything for Lucky or Ethan. All in all I would say these are adults and she should mind her own business, maybe give Brook Lynn a call.

Sassy, I could buy that argument for Tracy if she hadn't raised 2 completely different sons herself. She also saw her 2 nephews who had the same father grow up as polar opposites. And she had a brother who could not have been more different than her father and on and on...........

Nurse Epiphany was put on contract a couple of years ago, I believe around the same time Night Shift started coming on.  Although they don't show Matt alot, he still is contract player much like the Quartemaines who dont get much air time either.  The opening credits were rather stylish and I still think Luke is the ultimate definition of cool when he walks off screen on both this new opening and the old one.

BigDede... Sam was being totally sarcastic with her "can't wait" comment.  Also, I think she stole evidence for Jason and not for Sonny.  Sam knows Jason does not want to run the organization, which is exactly what will happen if Sonny goes to prison.  Last time JaSam were together when he ran the organization, he ended up leaving her because she was shot.  When they became friendly again in 2009, he was also running the organization and he made it clear to her that he wanted to go back to his old job.  That's why she went looking for Anthony Z within him so they could turn him over to the FBI and let Sonny take back the business.  I believe she doesn't want to repeat history, and in saving Sonny, she is saving Jason from having to run an organization he doesn't want to run.  Plus, as Sam was stealing the gun, Jason told Diane he and Sam had been up the whole previous night talking about Sonny's situation.  So, in my opinion, she didn't do it for Sonny.

Why, oh why is Olivia answering the door with her robe off her shoulders, all seductive like?  HELLO, LIV!!!  PUT YOUR ROBE ON PROPERLY AND TIE THAT THING!!!  I don't know, but I think Stone Cold is the perfect name for Jason sometimes.  Only he can walk into a room where 2 people OBVIOUSLY JUST had sex and not bat an eyelash.  I would have been all sorts of uncomfortable.

I think Maxie going to have a talk with Dante again was a little much, but that's Maxie.  Gotta love her for trying to protect Lulu.  Also, I don't think it had anything to do with Dante's profession or whether he would turn into a mobster.  She just wants to make sure Lulu hasn't fallen in love with a playa.  I'd do the same.  Just more tactfully.

I love when we see the whole Spencer family together.  I love Tracy, even though she does get loud and nosey sometimes.  I love that Lucky and Ethan are acting like brothers now.  Ethan has really grown on me, and I'm very happy for the actor.  He was not popular for a very long time, but he's really grown on people, and now he's liked.

I really don't mind a Lucky/Jason friendship, especially because Liz is going nuts.  But, I hope they don't do too much work together.  I know they've had some rough times over the years, but I remember several instances over the last 10 years when they were on pretty friendly terms.  They weren't always enemies... even when JJ was gone.

maxsmom - Actually I do think Tracy cares about both Ethan and Lucky in her own way.  But Lulu used to live in her home and she developed a more motherly feeling towards her, especially when Luke left town leaving Lulu in her care.  They both grew closer during that time and I absolutely believe that her concern is genuine.

mayjadjor - "Why, oh why is Olivia answering the door with her robe off her shoulders, all seductive like?  HELLO, LIV!!!  PUT YOUR ROBE ON PROPERLY AND TIE THAT THING!!!"

So funny.  The brown thing was a blanket not a robe.  When Johnny was giving her the necklace she sugggested to him that perhaps he was just trying to get her out of her blanket.

Either way, what a way to open the door!  LOL

Thanks for bringing up the blanket thing...yeah what was up with that.  Thank goodness it wasnt the pizza delivery boy or he might have thought he had stumbled into a porno movie LOL.

As for Sam, she stole the evidence to help Jason AND Michael, testifying means going under cross exam.  Its one thing to trick a rookie cop, a totally different thing to worm your way through cross exam without getting snagged for perjury.  I dont think she is jazzed in the slightest.

Sassy and EET... I just watched it again on youtube to make sure, but that thing Olivia was wearing had arms.  So, it was either a robe or one of those snuggies you buy off the TV or from Bed Bath and Beyond.  It's obvious when she opens the door for Jason.

mayjadjor - Oh well.  I was going by what Olivia said and not what I could see.  She called it a blanket so I went with it.  Either way it was funny to see Jason's "reaction". 

 Jucky - I love them , I love the idea of a cop and mobster working together, and Jason and Lucky working together well.... they are good team....
SO I hope Jucky will continue to work together..
Also Lucky didn't compromise himself and his job , he didn't tell Jason anything Jason shouldn't know , he didn't steal police evidence , if anyone did something that ca hurt his job was Jason...
All Jason and Lucky did was working together to prevent mob war, Lucky and the PCPD don't want it and Jason don't want it because of all the Sonny Dante mess..
And I also love the fact that Jason chose a different way to solve the problem , he didn't do what he usually do get rid of the problem he chose to give Johnny up..
If Lucky and Jason will work together  maybe Jason will do less killing
what is so bad about it?????

I love My Jason So Much he Entered Olivia's home knowing what she and Johnny did a moment before and he didn't care, he didn't had a reaction.. he was a true Stonecold Love it...
I don't understand why Olivia didn't put some clothes on when Jason was talking with Johnny why she stayed there all the scenes , That was stupid.....

Sam - she was sarcastic about it ... an she did it before LOL when she was testifying at Jason's trial about her knowing what Jason did , and at the time she was furious with Jason....

Tracy I wish she would have shown that caring for her own kids and granddaughter..
I like that she cares for Lulu I think it is cute But still...

Lante - They are cute And I like them...
BUT CAN WE PLEASE NOT SEEING THEM EVERY DAY!!!
Not every couple have that much air time as them  not JaSam not Scrubs who I really really love... Not Spixie not CarJax and so on ...
people say that there is too much mob and Jason and Sam and Sonny right now we have more Dante and Lulu... 
I need a time off from both of them pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thanks  
  

To say that Lucky has become a "dirty cop" because of his partnership with Jason is a little bit hard I think. Lucky explained that he and Jason wouldn't want a mob war in Port Charles. That was the reason for offering a partnership in the first place. And now Lucky could rescue Johnny from getting killed. Don't think that has really something to do with being a "dirty cop". I see it more as wanted to prevent the worst case scenario.

I didn't understand what Diane wanted from Alexis too. She sure as hell still wants Alexis to join her law firm, but why Diane was talking about Sonny's case with her made no sense. I still like their friendship though and very scene they are sharing together.

Olivia opening the door in a blanket was surprising. Specially since she ended up just standing there the whole time, while Jason talked to Johnny. Seemed a little bit odd.

And yeah, Dante and Lulu are cute together, but I could use a break from them too. Don't need them every single day on my screen. Same goes for Jason by the way.

You know why I don't buy the argument about Sam stealing the evidence for Jason because she knows he doesn't want to run the mob.  I don't buy it because Jason is trying everything in his power to get Sonny out of the country and even told Carly (I think) that he would run the mob with him gone.  She stole it for Sonny, and my other big problem was that she stole in a way that might have implicated Jason.  Not a good thing, but I am sure SamFF will have some noble definition for this action.

I also find Sam just way to blaise about everything lately. A little moral compass might be nice since she is the only one left that can be saved.  I really wonder if TPTB just string her along with promises of big stories and then just leave her in the vortex of suck that is SaSon. 

Not sure how I feel about Jucky, but Lucky has shared police information with Jason, so relatively speaking Lucky is a dirty cop.

While Lante were cute at the end of the epi, I am jumping on the enoughs enoughs bandwagon.  I do not need to see them every freaking day because it will kill the cuteness.

First time I was not happy with a DiLexis scene. 

Shoot if I had Olivia's body I'd be walking around half naked all the time.  Also I think Jason's visit was suppose to be late at night and sorry but I would be beyond aggravated if someone knocked on my door and she was pretty much covered up.  Besides why do I need to put anything on its my freaking house and someone is bothering me.

 Lucky didn't give any police Information with Jason yesterday ..
All Lucky did was help to prevent a mob war and maybe stop Jason from killing someone if this Jucky team can stop a someone from being dead what is the problem???
 I am Jucky FF   

I NEED LANTE BREAK
