General Hospital: Perkie's Observations
This show drives me crazy sometimes. They are hanging their hats on the DNA evidence of whether or not Ethan did something to Kristina, when Ethan has already admitted that Kristina scratched him when he found her. Therefore the DNA will show that it was his, which he’s admitted to already. What? Did they dust Alexis’ living room for his fingerprints? Did they check his knuckles to see if they were bloody? Did they check his clothes to see if any of her blood was on them? Did they check with patrons from the Star to verify Ethan’s alibi?
Kristina/Kiefer: Excellent scene. She reacted with fear and started crying again. Her fearful line, “I thought you were going to kill me”, had me in tears. Although, why that fear didn’t immediately make her call Lucky to tell him the truth, I still don’t understand. I loved Kiefer being such a delusional douchebag that he’s all, “hey, we’ll move on and totally forget all this happened” and “you lied to protect me so you must still love me.” That sounded an awful lot like what Sonny’s been spewing at Dante about the shooting.
Sweet Sam/Kristina scene. Excellent Kristina/Alexis scene, although I was really hoping K would tell the truth. When she started in with “I lied”, I thought that’s where they might be going, but then she said something cryptic about lying to Kiefer and Alexis shushed her before she could tell the truth.
Lulu/Nik: Good to see Lulu still being frosty towards Nikolas. I thought she’d forgiven him for his part in Niz, but it was good to see she hadn’t.
Loved the Johnny/Maxie scene in the hospital. It seemed very light and cute between them and then Scowly Spinelli showed up to ruin the fun.
So, Kiefer’s parents don’t know that he’s actually dating Kristina, yet everyone in town thinks they are. Or was that just a lie on Daddy Bauer’s part? Could it be that he’s very aware of who his son is dating and possibly knows the truth about what happened to Kristina?
So, Lucky is the baby’s father, but Helena switched the results to show Nikolas’ name, because she wants to raise the child to hate the Spencers. Well, that makes perfect sense.

Perkie...I truly hope you weren't being sarcastic about Helena's plan making perfect sense, since I personally LOVE it! I can't remember the last time I wanted a secret to last for years - if ever. It would be so awesome if the truth didn't come out until the kid was a teen...which probably means it probably won't happen that way at all.
I think Kiefer's parents were just believing what they wanted to believe about the extent of K&K's relationship. They seem to have HUGE plans for their son, none of which include developing a long-term connection to a mobster's daughter, since she is clearly not good enough in their eyes.

Personally i thought the show was really boring because there was no Dante. Why is it that STUPID Jason has to the one to figure out the truth about Kiefer and NOT Dante since Dante has been around Kristina and she has confided in him about Kiefer BEFORE she ever talked to Sam? In fact it was Dante who told Kristina she should being talking to Sam or her mom about that stuff in the first place. He has been warning Sonny about Kiefer all along. That is the only thing him & Micheal ever agreed on.

samrocks, I love Helena's plan as well and I hope the truth comes out in about 20 years time.
Seriously who is the real Kiefer? Is it the guy who cries and apologizes to Kristina and wants to start over or is it the smug teenager sitting with his parents not batting an eyelid when his supposed great love is being undermined by his parents. I'm guessing it's both and then some. Gotta hand it to the writers they sure didn't make him one note.
Lexi Ainsworth was so good in her scenes with CA and NLG.
Perkie, since I have developed quite an unhealthy crush on Christian Alexander (not Kiefer mind you) I would like to thank you for the today and yesterdays screencaps. It's the little things that make me happy:)

Yeah, unfortunately, I STOPPED sympathizing with Kristina today!! Yeah, she was abused, which is obviously sad and traumatic, but blaming an innocent victim just because he rejected you is UNACCEPTABLE.
I realize Guza's motivations, to bring together Dante and Sonny, provide conflict between Lulu/Dante, Alexis/Luke, Sonny/Lucky, and basically make it a battle between Sonny and the Spencer family, but I feel like his REAL motivation is to try to redeem Sonny Corinthos by making us (and everyone else in town) feel sorry for him. If this is the case, and they are planning on making it all about him and his INNER DEMONS, I feel they will dilute the true message of this storyline.
It's hard to feel sorry for a girl who lies without much remorse, conscience or forethought........

alstonboy,
While I agree that making this all about Sonny (again?) will dilute the message of the storyline, can you really think of a time when Sonny wasn't being painted as the tragic hero?
If redeeming him was really the goal, I think they missed the mark by playing out this storyline on the heels of the shooting.
I certainly hope TPTB are not dumb enough to write this so we see Dante setting aside all his negative feelings about Sonny just because he sees Sonny being upset about his daughter and by the fact that this incident has also brought back the bad memories (for the umpteenth time) of his mother and him being beaten by Deke. I'm sorry, but how much bad behavior can we be expected to "excuse" because of Sonny's past? Do they really think that any background, regardless of how horrific, should give someone an out for shooting an unarmed police officer, who not only saved his life but his son's as well, point blank in the chest?
I actually have a different theory on who they were trying to redeem. If you recall, very few people were happy when Ethan arrived on the scene. This character represented a re-write of the history of THE soap supercouple, Luke and Laura, and L&L fans wanted him gone (or at least Robert's son instead). Day after day, I'd read posts right here on DC and people were griping about "Teethan" (gotta say, I really did love that nickname). Now, everybody is rallying to this character's defense in the wake of his being falsely accused. Not a bad way to get the fans behind Tony Geary's second favorite son, if you ask me.

Perkie - "So, Lucky is the baby’s father, but Helena switched the results to show Nikolas’ name, because she wants to raise the child to hate the Spencers. Well, that makes perfect sense."
The only problem is that Nik had the sense to have Lisa send out the test to another lab without Helena's knowledge. When he gets those results he will know that Lucky is the father and that Helena changed the test results. Will he really do to Lucky (his brother) what Jax did to him with Spencer? That would be the final straw for me with Nikolas. I'm hoping he still has enough of Laura in him that he will tell Liz and Lucky the truth when he learns it.
And the other details in this boring storyline that really bother me.... Is Helena planning on kidnapping the child because there is no other way that Liz would ever allow it to be raised at Windermere by Nikolas? Does Nik not have any idea what is going on in his own home? Will Alfred actually do what Helena is demanding of him?

Interesting theory. I hope you're right because it's definitely Ethan that I'm feeling sorry for right now.

Analiza--- I agree that Ethan is a character who, for all intents and purposes, shouldn't exist. He represents a MAJOR writing error that tarnished Luke and Laura's "untouchable soul mate love" tale. I know the writers were probably at a loss for how to properly use this character, but turning him into a bullseye seems to be overkill!!
I am one of the few fans who actually LIKED Ethan. I also like Nathan Parsons, but strangely there seems to be few viable story options for his character. I DON'T like Maxie, and wouldn't wish her on my worst enemy, so I am glad they didn't do the predictable thing and have him be a part of a Maxie/Spinelli/Ethan triangle (it means I get to keep my lunch INDEFINITELY!). I also am glad they didn't have him go after Elizabeth and be the THIRD brother to "hit that"....even though I wouldn't have been surprised if they had done that, either. He's too young to be in a triangle with Sam and Jason, or any Robin and Patrick, so this seemed to be the "best" option......
I will continue to watch this, but much like the "proverbial car crash," I will have my eyes strategically covered with each passing episode because so many factors of this story make me uncomfortable. As much as this story bothers me, at least I CARE, which is a lot more than I can say about the stories on most of the soaps.
AMC is just NOW starting to slightly get me to care again, ATWT is marginally good on a fairly inconsistent basis, and Y&R has too many psychos for me to really care right now, and too many boring characters who need one--way tickets out of Genoa City. Y&R is usually my favorite soap, but lately GH is creeping up on first place. I still love the show and it is never boring. No other soap can say that, in my book...

I am not liking Kristina's reason for not telling that it was Keifer that beat her. All she said to Keifer was that she didn't want him killed. I guess Ethan, too bad, he "dissed" her? They could have at least threw in a line like, Ethan is Luke's son and my dad would never go after him......

Lexi Ainsworth is pretty much writing her Emmy ticket this week because she has been pretty amazing with her performances. To see her get scared out of her mind when Kiefer showed up was brilliant acting.
That said she admitted that she lied because she didn't want her father to kill Kiefer...and I think we as fans know that naming Ethan she was hoping the Luke connection would save him, but she could have at least said that. The way she said that today about Kiefer, was basically like saying hey I don't want my dad to kill you, but it's cool if he kills Eithan.
The story is really irritating because I want to feel bad for Kristina, and I already think Kiefer is a douchebag, and the scenes with Kristina and Dante were amazing, but naming Ethan and putting him through this makes me not like her again, and my sympathy goes out the window.
Also...totally out of left field...remember that fleeting moment when Jason Cook first showed up on GH, and he offered some drug protocol to help Spinelli break out of his social awkwardness? Couldn't they use that now to give him and Spinelli a better storyline? Have him treat Spinelli and he gradually becomes this new person, but with a mean streak or something as a side effect? It gives Matt and Spinelli and Maxie a whole new storyline that's not mob related!
Cause for as much as I rooted for Spixie, and I still love them, this whole thing Spinelli is doing lately even annoys me.

On a lighter note, saw Bradley Cole debut as Keifer's dad, I know he is playing an S.O.B., but all of you GL fans were right he is gorgeous, why couldn't he have played Sam's father? Darn it!!!!

My hands were full during the Kiefer/Kristina scene and I couldn't get to the remote to fast-forward through the scene. I found it sickening and I actually threw up in my mouth a little at the end. Ugh! I hate him, I hate that Kristina is blaming Ethan, and I hate that Dante wasn't on today. Today was almost a total loss, except I LOVED Tracy and Johnny today!

Is anyone else disturbed at how Mac just let Keifer and his parents leave against Lucky's wishes even after Lucky said he had barely questioned them yet. So b/c the mayor snaps his fingers for some rich folks, Mac has no problem letting them go even when it has to do with something so important as a teen being abused???? Mac, grow a set. What if it was Maxie that was beaten, would you really tell Lucky to stop interviewing ppl b/c the mayor told you to? OR is it that Mac already made up his mind about Ethan and doesn't think interviewing Keifer and his parents was necessary? Either way, it makes Mac the most horrible chief of police ever. Didn't he notice that Lucky was getting somewhere? Lucky looked real suspicious and he caught the fact that Keifer's parents were overly protecting Keifer, which they would not be doing if Keifer did anything wrong. Was it just wishful thinking, or was Lucky trying to look at Keifer's hands? Keifer was hiding them the whole time.
I still haven't gotten back the sadness and sympathy that I originally felt for Kristina when she was beaten. I lost it when she blamed Ethan, and even though I started to regain it when she was talking to Keifer and crying, I lost it again when she didn't tell the truth even after Alexis told her Ethan was going to be prosecuted, AND when she said she knew her dad would kill Keifer. Doesn't that mean she knows Sonny would do the same to Ethan? She just doesn't care cuz Ethan humiliated her. I can't get myself to believe that she thinks Sonny won't hurt Ethan b/c he's Luke's son. If she felt that way, she would have said so or implied that Ethan was safer somehow. I honestly think that she would rather have Ethan killed than Keifer, even though Keifer beat her and Ethan got her to the hospital. What are these writers doing?
And leave it to Johnny and Jason, the mobsters, to be the only ones to know Kristina's not being completely truthful and doubt her story. Don't get me wrong, I love Johnny, but why can't the cops be the one to have the big doubts. I don't get why no one brought up the fact that maybe Krissy named Ethan b/c she's afraid of the real attacker, even though we know that's not why she did. But they should at least consider it. It better be Lucky and Dante who end up figuring out it was Keifer. I doubt it though since SuperJase is on the case. AND, didn't Sam already know that Kristina was not in a healthy relationship with Keifer since Krissy confided in her about how Keifer makes her feel bad and tells her how to dress. Those are signs of a control freak right there. AND why wasn't it Sam that realized she would have been talking to Ethan the time Krissy was being beaten? Why did it have to be Jason to ask Krissy how Ethan could be in two places at once? Sam was the one that went straight to Ethan after she was with Krissy, so how could Ethan have beaten her so quickly? If Jason sees the hole in Krissy's story, shouldnt' Sam have seen it first since she was Ethan's alibi?
And I hope it doesn't take too long for Lucky to find out he's the real father of Liz's baby. I want Lucky to have his own kid. I think it would really change him. And in given time, I want L&L2 back, this time, for good. Oh and how funny would it be to see Luke and Tracy being forced to babysit. I know they're not the parenting type, but it'd be real funny to see them dealing with a crying baby and trying to change a diaper. Grandaddy Luke

I totally hate that Kristina is lying, Kiefer disgusts me and then his Mom while talking to Lucky during the questioning, could not have been more of a snob. The sins of the father should not be taken out on the daughter. As if she was not good enough for her lying, beating little brat. Kristina may be Sonny's daughter but she is also Alexis' who has "only" been the District Attorney for most of time on this show. I guess a working mother must be so below that of the lying, beating rich brat's mother. I have enjoyed the SORASing of the kids, with the new storylines, this one while worthy of the PSA's is just not what I want to watch. There are enough other things that they could have done with her and even this storyline would have been good, if she had not lied. While I am a new poster here I have been reading all the comments for a long time now. I like Sonny and Jason, Luke and Carly and just about every one on this show. It has been a favorite of mine for almost 40 years. Back in the day, when I went to camp, my Mom would write me and tell me what happened, that is how long I have been watching. I am glad they are showing more of the hospital and that they are showing a lot more of the family dynamics of the families, not just Sonny's. The Q's are getting more air time and I am a die hard Luke and Laura fan, but Luke and Tracy are wonderful together. Took me a long time to warm up to Ethan and I think this storyline pushed me in to accepting him. I do hope Kristina gets over this bs with protecting the person who hurt her and she needs to make amends to Ethan who all along was only trying to help her.

So yesterday Lucky was the one to arrest Ethan-his brother- but said he could not take his statement because it was a conflict of interest-right? Today Lucky is asking Keifer and his parents questions about the same case--what happened to the conflict of interest? Mac himself should have done the questioning or assigned any detective except Lucky or Dante because they are both the brothers of the victim and the accused in the case. Once again the PCPD is written as the most Pathetically Clueless Police Department of daytime.

I liked the episode I thought it was good....
I do not like Kristina lying But she is a troubled kid I think she is still scared of Kiefer , the minute he entered the room you could feel how scared she was, And maybe she still is..
I liked her and Sam together and Sam being all the supportive sister trying to calm her and be there for her...
Perki you didn't say it but I will I LOVED LOVED LOVED THE JASAM SCENE Juts perfect!!!!
Sam was so shaken by this and she needed someone to calm her and help her so she went to the only one who can JASON I loved the all scene how Jason calmed her being her strength because she needed it ,I loved the hug, Love everything about it..
Kelly and Steve were amazing..
I also loved Alexis scenes today NLG was amazing Loved her scene with Jason and than with Kris...
I love Spixie and I love Spinelli I hate how Mac treats Spinelli!!!
I feel bad for Ethan, I really am, Poor guy I love how Tracy is there for him , She is doing better job of parenting than Luke LOL
I think Lucky felt something is wrong with Kiefer Family, I wish Mac would have let him continue the investigation......
I still don't care about Liz's Baby I don't ,Helena there does not make it more interesting...
I am for one Happy that Jason is on to Kristina , I think he is the only one who can , He knows Kristina has a past of lying, Dante and Lucky/ PCPD, do not have that, Jason is also the outsider He loves Kris , he is part of her family But He does not have a abusive past like Alexis Sonny and Sam he is not emotional about this..
Sam is still in emotional state to think about the all thing , She needs to believe her sister's word and to be with her , She doesn't have the time to rethink..
I love that Jason is in his roll of the guy that thinks things trough.. Go Jason

floved the opening scenes with lulu and tracey!!! right on all counts and balls out honest!
if krissy had just added that she blamed ethan because he could take better care of himself than keifer, she would have still had me, unfortunately, she is her father's daughter and apparently some lives are more important than others. anyone keeping track of how many laws she's breaking?
finally, if the CA (Keifer) doesn't get and emmy nod next year, there is no soapgod. he has been scarily perfect in this role!

Sonny should have gotten arrested for the gun. But he is NOT on probation.
He is out on BAIL, which means he has been charged, not convicted, and is waiting trial. In order to be on PROBATION or PAROLE, you have to be convicted of something first.
sorry, i'm nit picky too.
