General Hospital Spoilers!

Regan said:

...Dr. Lisa who most definitely has an opinion about the mobsters in town. She gave it a few weeks back at the Nurse’s Station.

And, when the previous actress was playing Lisa, she had a flirtation with Sonny at the Italian Restaurant.  Wouldn't just being personally acquainted with the defendant disqualify you from a jury?  The writers are really pushing us to suspend all real-world notions for this storyline.  Pretty soon they're going to have to reclassify this show as science fiction.

Thanks, as always, for the spoilers, Regan.

 What about Coleman why someone wants him as a jury??
 he was involve with Courtney , he pushed her to work as striper for him, and Both SaSon wanted him dead...
And now he is paying protection Money to SaSon should he be the one scared of them to say he is not guilty ....
I do like seeing big Alice there ,even though she is working for the Q's and everyone knows what the Q's feel about Sonny??

I would have wanted it to be Matt , to have JC more air time ..

Thanks Perki 

Alice, Dr. Lisa and Coleman will be sitting in the jury box as Sonny stands trial for Claudia’s murder.
 

ok, this is so unrealistic that it isn't even funny. how stupid can you get?  this is a complete joke.

The only thing that interests me is the upcoming story with Kristina's situation with Ethan.  I'm so over the Sonny and Jason  trying protect Michael already.  It's grating on my last nerve.  Let this dumb secret out already and move on geez!

I thought GH was so good with the whole Dante reveal but that ship has sunk real fast.  I'm bored again!  

Thanks so much for the spoilers Regan.   

I can't wait for the Krissie fall out. Sounds like good old fashioned GH. Let's hope Guza doesn't murder it.

Suspension of belief/disbelief (take it either way) 

I have trouble believing a federal prosecutor can be brought in to try a state criminal case.  Yes, murder is a state offense, not a federal one.  

Maxie deserves to get pneumonia.  Running around in upstate New York in the dead of winter in strapless dresses and little jackets!  I understand she takes a cold bath in a storm sewer.  Yuck! 

Any ideas on how Sonny is going to walk off free from his murder trial?  I know he didn't do it, but I do want the little skanky mobster to go to jail.  If they can't get him on the murder charge, the least they can do is get him on obstruction of justice and perjury.  They can throw the entire mob in jail for that.  

Has Lisa even been in town long enough to have an address to be chosen for jury duty?

I really hope this Kristina storyline doesn't last too long. I hate storylines like this because although Kristina is the victim, she will look like the bad guy for blaming this on poor Ethan.  So this abuse storyline will be bull.

GH's Coleman is such an UNDERRATED character, and the actor who plays him never ceases to entertain me, even with the meager amount of screen time he receives............the same goes for Alice!! Love these characters!!!

Who cares if the jury duty storyline was done last year??? It was HILARIOUS last year, and I am sure it will be equally as entertaining this time!!!was done last year.
 
Soaps practically do NOTHING but recycle and reuse the same plots YEAR after YEAR!!! Baby switches, surprise pregnancies, "Who's the Daddy?",drownings, shootings, love triangles!! Nothing is original in daytime anymore!!!

Why are they villifying Ethan's character??? Yeah, he's a thief and a con artist, but he has nothing but good intentions where Kristina is concerned!! Kristina is the one who is always flirting and PRETENDING that she isn't JAIL BAIT!!!! I am in the minority of people who actually ENJOY Ethan as portrayed by Nathan Parsons, and I hope the writers don't COMPLETELY ruin this character like they did Claudia's character, and like I fear they are on the verge of doing with Johnny's character!!!

GH, despite all the violence, is still the best soap on ABC!!!! Sorry, but OLTL and AMC don't even come close!!!
 

Agreed.  I enjoy OLTL as well but quite frankly it doesn't even compare to GH. OLTL is like a kiddie soap (no layers, all black and white) while GH is complex with complex characters.

I'm looking forward to the Krissie storyline the most.  I don't mind the 3 PC jurors because at least it will be entertaining and finally I get to see Lisa out of scrubs orbit.  IMO they are dragging her down and not vice versa.

KeMo is probably gonna kick it out of the park.  I'm glad she will get to act finally this year with the Krissie storyline.

 

As always thanks Regan, for the spoilers!!!

As much as I love Alice and Coleman, but them on a jury been there done that, it does seem to be lazy writing and how is Lisa called for jury duty when she has even been in PC that long. I am also interested in seeing what the fallout's going to be from Kristina's false accusations against Ethan, I mean he shouldn't be going through this.

I no am probably in the minority here but I don't want Lucky to be the father, he needs a clean break from Liz.

I hope Michael does confess.

Whu is there even going to be a trial when we know TIIC is licking Sonny's balls and will not allow him to go to prison NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES!
Also WHY is Jason questioning Kristina? HE IS NOT A COP! Dante or Lucky SHOULD BE DOING THAT!

 Kinda had a feeling it would be Lucky. They jinxed it by repeating "One Time" over and over again. I think Liz's uterus only needs "One Time" to get knocked up especially if it used to someone else trying to assault it! I know that's how Jake managed to be Jason's but I'm not sure if she only slept with Zander that "One Time" when she was married to Ric.  

LOL maybe its a bionic uterus??

I thought that Sonny and Coleman had history with Courtney his sister;

wasn't he strong arming her in his employ as a stripper?  Oh well this is Port Charles....why should I expect some semblance of good drama when its clear that's not what they are going for.

I know that's how Jake managed to be Jason's but I'm not sure if she only slept with Zander that "One Time" when she was married to Ric. 

it was just once.  that should drive the "it only takes once" theory, home to the teen audience.

engradypind~~~ NO one "deserves" to get sick  and or die---
Real or otherwise

Maybe she should come with a warning if this woman is sleeping with someone else and you want to give it a try just once, she will become pregnant with your child! Or maybe the writers just need to come up with another way of getting the same character pregnant! 

Maxie can take a "dive", feign any kind of illness she wants...anything as long as it brings
Kate back to the canvas.

Some of you may have seen RUMORS that Bradford Anderson is leaving. Before those of you that have not see these RUMORS get all crazy, from what we know, these are just RUMORS and frankly not true. However, I always caution that in the soap world, anything is possible and when you have a catch like Anderson, you hang on to him and I hope TPTB know that. If my memory serves though, the actor is getting married soon and could possibly be taking vacation for a honeymoon and someone may have taken that knowledge a little too far to fabricate the RUMOR of his exit.

Spixie is getting a little stale in some fan's eyes and I can't help it, I happen to be one of them. It's the nature of the soap world, couples run their course, it doesn't mean that they can't or shouldn't be together it just means that sometimes they (and the fans) need a little break. I, however, am also a firm believer that every character needs a counterpart so to speak and with only Maxie and Lulu in the younger female cast, GH is sorely lacking with characters for Spinelli to even have a friend let alone a love interest.

Maxie isn't faking... she's really sick and leaves the hospital for Crimson and Kate. She passes out at work and Lulu and Kate have to bring her back to GH.

Regan -

I personally hope the rumors are false about Spin leaving the show.  I have no use for Spixie as a couple but that doesn't mean I have no use for Spin as a character. 

I'd love to see GH consider pairing Spinelli and Kristina.  Before you sputter, hear me out.  All the things about Spin that I think don't fit in a romance with Maxie, fit absolutely PERFECTLY with someone like Kristina who will be a recovering victim of abuse.  She'll need someone with gentleness, patience and understanding.  While courtly love doesn't fit my image of fastlane Maxie, it would be necessary to help Kristina learn to trust not only men but her own judgement.   The very nature of this kind of romance would have to pass over time which would give GH time to age Kristina to an appropriate romantic match. 

Think of the reverberations of a friendship that turns romantic for Spinelli and Kristina across the canvas.  Sonny (Krissy's father that has zero respect for Spin but Spin works for him by extension). Jason. Sam. (Jason as Spin's mentor and BFF and Sam as Kristina's sister.).  Alexis (Krissy's mom was the one time recipient of Spin's herbal remedies for cancer but would that translate into approving of his involvement with her daughter?).  There are so many things inherent in these two that could play in a story between them.  There would be resistence.  Sweetness. And Spin's quirks could be quite endearingly appropriate in context with a younger female where they don't work with Maxie. 

Plus Spin's personality traits would really make him seem like a hero to Kristina because he would be extraordinarily kind and completely different from her father and that would be a HUGE boon for Spin as a person.  He could be love for who he is instead of despite it.

I'm not going to completely say no... I could see a storyline like that work similar to Lucky and Elizabeth after her rape. I just think I might be more on board if it was with someone more in her age bracket. Who? I couldn't tell you and COULD it work as you laid it out? Maybe. I just could see it working out better if say Cameron had been soras'd along with the rest of the kids and he was her shoulder to cry on or if there was another boy on the canvas in her age range that fit the bill. Great idea though. It's that sort of re-do, recycling that doesn't irk me quite as much. The jury duty thing, while wrong on so many other and legal levels, is lazy and repetitive. Something like you described may be very close to LL2's story but if written properly could have it's own meaning to two different characters.

There really isn't anyone is Kristina's age brack other than her brother Michael.  The mild flirtation between Kristina and Ethan seemed to gain a following and he seems physically and emotionally ages older than Spin by comparison.  Really, how far in difference could they be?  When Spin was introduced he was in college with Georgie so I always assumed him to be Georgie's age which is younger than Maxie.  Maxie recently in the show established her age at 23 (for now...we know it's fluid in soaps...hehe).  Kristina is 17ish and could be close to 18 as far as we know because her birthday is just as fluid.  We're not working with a huge gap and Spin's personality and quirks definitely make him seem more on the younger side rather than the experienced one. 

It's just something to think about...
