General Hospital: Perkie's Observations
Sam’s relieved about the baby, but wonders if Jason could have raised Franco’s baby. Jason says it doesn’t matter anymore and they’ll be fine. Sam’s concerned for his heath. She says the baby needs him. Sam continues to have morning sickness.
Carly shows up at Sonny’s office, ready to tell him about the new hotel ownership. However, Kate arrives and insists on talking to Sonny alone. Once Carly leaves, Sonny figures he won’t like what Kate is about to tell him. Kate says she’s the new co-owner of the hotel. Sonny asks if it came from Carly. Kate admits that Jax signed over his half to her.
Kate says she ran into Jax at the airport by coincidence. Sonny wonders why he should believe her. Kate says they’re business partners only. She reminds him Jax helped her start up Crimson, which is still a sore spot for Sonny. He asks how long ago this happened. She says it’s been a few weeks. He gets angrier, because she’s only telling him now. Kate asks what he would have done if he knew where Jax was.
Sonny asks why she would take Jax up on his offer. She says it was a good business move. Sonny says Jax could have sold it to Carly, but he wanted to stick it to Sonny so went to Kate. Sonny says he wasn’t sure what he was going to do with Jax once he found him, but now he does. Kate tells him not to use her as an excuse to do something he’s always wanted to do.
Patrick takes Robin to the lot where they’re going to build their dream house. He discusses the layout to her. They both feel blessed with their lives now and are happy that they are going ahead with the house. Patrick says he understands that she didn’t tell him about her illness before, so as not to worry him. Robin says she’s concerned about Jason and the swelling on his brain. Patrick assures her that he’ll go over Jason’s file with her and figure out their next step.
Spinelli wants to take Maxie snowboarding, to make Matt jealous. Maxie says the jealousy isn’t working. She figures Liz needs her own man so she’ll stop paying attention to Matt. She thinks Liz is using Ewen to get Matt’s attention, but Spin disagrees. Maxie’s annoyed that Matt watched Liz and Ewen during their dinner. She decides Liz and Ewen need a romantic push and heads out.
Liz thanks Ewen for going to the art show with her. She can’t imagine having her art exhibited like that, but Ewen assures her that it could happen. Matt overhears and snarks out Ewen.
Anthony runs into Johnny on the docks and tells him the Solitos are sniffing around; they need to protect what’s theirs. Johnny’s not happy with Anthony’s involvement in the business. Anthony isn’t happy with Johnny’s attitude towards him. Anthony reminds him that he shot a cop for him.
Johnny decides Anthony is nothing to him and doesn’t need to protect him anymore. He wants to drag Anthony to the PCPD. However, Anthony warns him that when he’s reckless and he makes bad decision. Johnny figures every cop in town will want a piece of Anthony for shooting Dante. Anthony says Johnny is a mess and he’s asking his enemies to come after him. He’s worried about Johnny’s mental state. He understands that Johnny has had a shock, regarding Claudia. Johnny gets angry, hearing her name, and grabs Anthony, ready to throw him in the water. Carly shows up and tells Johnny to stop it.
Carly says she’s now an eyewitness. She doesn’t want to have to lie to the police to protect Johnny. Johnny lets Anthony go and Carly tells him to leave. Johnny notices the divorce papers she dropped and asks her about it. Carly says Jax is moving on and so is she. She asks if he was really going to kill Anthony and Johnny says he doesn’t need her help.
Carly tells him he has a conscience and a soul. It doesn’t matter who raised him, he doesn’t want to be like Anthony. Johnny feels he has no choice. Carly says he’s questioning everything right now, but not to go down a path of no return. Johnny says Claudia always stopped him when he walking the edge of the line. Carly says not to canonize Claudia. She loved him, but did terrible things. Johnny wonders why Carly cares about him.
Matt feels Ewen’s pick up lines are lame. However, Liz says Ewen knows a lot about art and it wasn’t a come on. She asks if Matt is jealous. Matt swears he isn’t jealous, but feels Ewen is being unprofessional. Liz says she was never his patient and they aren’t really dating. She reminds Matt that he told her to get over Lucky, but now he has a problem with it. Matt says he has a problem if she gets hurt.
Maxie finds Ewen at the hospital and tells him that he should be with Liz. She says he needs a push in that direction and she’s the one giving it to him. Ewen thinks she’s wacky and gives her his card. Maxie insists she doesn’t need a shrink, but wants him to step things up with Liz, so Liz will leave Matt alone.
Matt overhears and is angry with Maxie. He tells her to stop her vendetta against Liz. Maxie says he started it and she sees the way that he looks at Liz. Matt says he’s worried because of Ewen being inappropriate, and that he rubs Matt the wrong way. Maxie doesn’t care and Matt decides he can’t do this anymore. Maxie’s shocked that he wants to break up.
Anthony runs into Spinelli at Kelly’s. Spin tells him to call off the guard watching over Maxie. Spin says now that he’s moved in, he’ll be watching over Maxie. Anthony says he’s keeping Maxie safe and he has no intention of calling off the guard.
Liz apologizes to Ewen for Matt’s behavior. She again says she had a good time at the art show and Ewen says he enjoyed it as well. She asks if they can do it again, but Ewen brushes her off and leaves.
Sam and Jason get home. Jason offers to cook her a meal. Sam says she’ll get used to being waited on hand and foot. She said that it wasn’t like this from the moment they found out she was pregnant. Franco robbed them of so much. He assures her that Franco is gone. The camera pans out to a package on their balcony. Sam heads upstairs to change before dinner. Jason has an episode and almost passes out.
Kate storms into her home, angry about Sonny. Then she unlocks her closet and takes out her bloody wedding dress and looks at it. Sonny picks up the phone and calls her, but she doesn’t answer. Kate gets an odd expression on her face and starts to put on make up and transform herself.

LOL! I know that last scene with Jason of him having whatever brain issue is going on now was supposed to be serious.... but the look on his face... all I could think was that he was finally passing the log thats been making him look all constipated for a few months now.... hahahahahaha..... Sorry, I just had to laugh.
I'm glad Scrubs got a scene talking about building a dream home with a big backyard... I'm just sorry they had to waste their time talking about Jason's brain issue during it.
Ewen's kind of an odd duck, but I like him better for Liz than boring old Matt.
The Skate stuff was predictable. Sonny ought to look in the mirror and just figure out that he's really to blame for Brenda leaving him and not Jax or anyone else. The Kate thing, well if it's going in the direction of her having a split personality, it was so over done on OLTL, it's just going to seem like recycled storyline here.

More of Carly being Johnny's mother!LOL!Why can't they put him with someone his own age who does not look and act like she could be his mother? Those scenes would have been better and actually make sense if it was Lulu there instead.Or even Olivia,even though she acted like his mother at least she has some real history with Johnny and Claudia and knew something about their relationship.The scenes with Johnny & Carly on the docks just did not ring true to me because Carly would never say anything like "you have a soul" to anyone on the show at all.That is stuff Lulu would say to Johnny.In fact she said those same exact words to him in their last scenes together when she was telling him not to use Micheal last year.

I agree. At first I wasn't even sure what was going on, it was so badly done. Hey, maybe that's why Olivia's been having those fainting spells....she has a piece of dashboard up her nose.
I'm annoyed that he seems to be playing games with Liz. That is not what she needs right now.
Sonny never blames himself. He shot an unarmed man in his living room, and still, that was someone else's fault
Because this show is limited in AVAILABLE women in his age group. Maxie's free now, maybe she can pay Johnny a visit. KSt had chemistry with BrBa, but have we ever seen JL in a scene with him?
Why do I think Kate's new, slutty personality isn't Connie, but a different, third one?
Carly annoys me a lot of times, but I loved her parking her butt in the chair in Sonny's office and waiting for the explosion with Kate. I was so sad to see Sonny kick her out.
Please tell me Mataxie are done. They don't even seem to like each other, so why have they been dating. She looks like she only wants a rich doctor on her arm for occasions and him, well, I'm still trying to figure out what he saw in her.

Does Kate have D.I.D.? Wasn't that storyline beaten to death on OLTL with Viki/Niki/Tommy/Jean/Princess/Tori/Victor and Jess/Tess/Les/Mess/GuessWho?
Are we gonna see "Connie" running around PC acting like some cheap broad from Bensonhurst? Do they think Kelly Sullivan has the acting chops to pull that off?

Sunday...mulling over Thursday...for better or worse...you decide...
Spinelli riding a snowboard in a half pipe doesn't exactly inspire visions of Shawn White. His phase two of "Operation Jealous Boyfriend" seems to have hit a snag, mainly because Maxie wants quicker results. And with her jealousy/insecurity gears in overdrive, he's helpless to stop her from racing off to GH to put her own "Operation Romantic Push" into motion...
Matt can't make up his mind about what he feels for Liz.(Ewan can't either
but I'll get to that.) None the less, she's highly amused (and not a little flattered),: "...the guy was using pick up lines Patrick abandoned since high school..." "Don't tell me you're jealous?" They get a bit serious when she calls him out on his previously encouraging her to "move on from Lucky." "I just have a problem if you get hurt." (Awww. I love that.) She's touched that he cares that much. But she's not looking at him in a romantic light...
JL's delivery reminds me of Claire Coffee's Nadine (another nice character put in the supply closet never to be heard from again). Run on sentences, thoughts tumbling out, one after the other whether they make sense or not. She collars Ewan: "You're an attractive man." "Thank you." with a look that says "What are you doing?" He figures out her game and "plays" her right through to when Maxie steps in it, full foot, with her agenda. And he dryly offers her his card and an appointment: "I think I can help you.." "Wait. Wha...I happen to be one of the most sane people I know."
"Fascinating." Which irks her all the more. Yes, she's fascinatingly needy as a result of her upbringing thanks to an absentee Felicia. "Unreal."
"...I was just about to say the same thing." Oops. That Matt's out of patience with her isn't surprising. That she defends herself in the face of her convoluted view that Liz is stealing him is also true. He's not blameless here, either. "I can't do this..." "Are you breaking up with me?" Impasse...
Liz is interested in him. And curious enough to make the effort to invite him out. As I said before, Ewan's trying to make up his mind on her-is she an "unofficial subject" or is she someone he wants to engage away from a therapy environment? Or is he a tease, working an agenda, interested enough to go to an art exhibition one evening only to brush her off the next. I'd be a bit annoyed...
I'm glad that Kate got one over on Carly with Jax's help. After what she (and the writer's), did to him to get custody of Josslyn (via the bully), it was satisfying to see a chunk taken out of her hide. Not that she's gonna retreat. Maxie's not the only one to push a situation that she's not happy with. Which makes her intervening on John's behalf intriguing. She could easily walk away from this confrontation that stems from her initial
desire to "blackmail" John to keep Jr. out of his organization. Now that she's fully aware that her "digging" has resulted in a bigger mess (and one with deeply emotional consequences), she's gonna scramble to try and
"make up" for what she's done. "You have a conscience...a soul...you're
alive, breathing. I'd like to keep it that way." "Still don't understand why..." "I just do." Where this leads may take them in a direction neither expects. They're not thinking about that. Not now anyway...
He figures John will get over the shock about Claudia. Papa Z is just delusional enough to think he'll lose his "conscience...his soul" to the point where he'll leave it to the side and take his place as head of the Zacchara family without the emotional "baggage" that's piled up around him. Right now, John's not just "fighting" his grandfather. He's fighting "himself", but "himself" is someone he doesn't know...
His reaction was pretty much what I expected. He's making her acquisition of the Metro Court all about him. What really galls the bully is that, in
gaining the hotel, just as with the magazine, Kate didn't run to him for the financing: "Crimson wouldn't exist if not for him." "You refused to take start up money from me." "No matter how I feel...personally, I don't
want to be tied to you financially." 'Cause that's how he shackles people,
family and otherwise to him. And God forbid you try to break away from that hold. Her slamming out of his office having had the last word and her opening the armoire that contains her blood spattered wedding gown, may signal her unspoken desire to get away from him. Just as she did in
Chicago. Maybe this "split identity" (where the writers appear to be going)
will, ironically be her salvation from his grasp...
As much as I have not cared for the emotional cruelty that Sam and Jason's story has visited upon this couple, the question she presents him "Could you have raised (the Pest's) baby?" is one, that had it been a part of a different scenario, could afford some interesting challenges. As it is, we still have to deal with another gift from a villian who just won't go away...
Seeing Emma beaming at her parent's lip lock over the steering wheel of their parked SUV was so refreshing and "normal". I am praying we get more
of this type of thing when RC's material gets in the pipeline. Dear Lord, how long?...
Till next time...
Swan!
