General Hospital: Perkie's Observations

comments



 

Carly demands to know if AJ is alive, but Monica reminds her AJ has been gone for years. She wonders why Carly would bring this up now. Carly tells Monica she saw AJ on the docks, but Monica thinks it's someone who looked like him.  Carly adds on that Michael saw him as well. She explains Michael started asking questions about her past and believes the only person who could have told him is AJ.
 


Monica affirms she told Michael the truth because he has a right to know.  She calls Carly a conniving bitch and claims Carly pitted Jason against AJ.  Carly tells her not to turn AJ into a victim after everything he did.  Monica knows Carly and Sonny drove AJ into madness.  Carly doesn’t have any regrets and decides she wants to look around for signs of AJ. 
 
Michael finds AJ at the boathouse.  He admits he told Starr the truth, but swears she can keep AJ’s secret.  Michael also informs AJ that he accidentally said something to Carly, who confessed all her misdeeds.  Alice tells AJ she took care of Tracy, and advises the father and son to continue their conversation in the house.
 
The adoption agent calls Lulu and Dante on all of their lies. Lulu admits she fabricated everything and begs for a second change. The agent says they’re judged on their integrity.  Dante speaks on Lulu's behalf and honestly believes she'd make an excellent mother.  The agent doesn't budge, so Lulu decides they can apply to a different agency. However, the agent tells them the false form is in the nationwide database and will be rejected by everyone.   Lulu apologizes, but Dante thinks there might be another way.   
 
Diane claims Connie is the dominant personality, and Kate is the alter who was formed after the traumatic rape.  Alexis counters and points out Kate is the one who went to Harvard, and Connie is the alter.  The judge asks about the psychiatrist, Ewen Keenan, and Alexis is forced to admit he’s dead.  Diane wants to bring in another doctor, and is granted her request. The new doctor testifies that Kate is the alter created by Connie. 
 
Alexis declares if Connie is the host personality she is responsible for the car accident, and wants to re-file charges. Connie claims Kate was the one who caused the accident and not her.  The judge rules there is no conclusive evidence that Connie is a danger to society, and the petition to have her committed is denied. 
 
Alexis wonders what happened with Diane, who defends her actions by saying everyone needs a good defense. She was the better lawyer that day, plain and simple.  Alexis tells Sonny there’s nothing else she can do, and he agrees. 
 
Mac stops by Anna's and they talk about Duke.  She mentions Luke doesn’t believe he’s Duke, but his fingerprints match those in the database.  Anna feels attracted to Duke, but isn’t jumping back into anything yet. Mac has a gift for Emma; a book entitled The Little Prince.  Anna remembers it being one of Robin’s favorites.

Robin begs Dr. Albrecht to let her go.  Duke arrives and berates the doctor for being incompetent. Duke decrees he has to change his plans because of the doctor's actions. A handcuffed Duke pretends to get himself tossed into Robin’s room. Robin is shocked to see him, and thinks she’s hallucinating because since he’s been dead for so long.  Duke says he’s been in prison, but escaped. Robin’s thrilled he's there, because they can work together to get out. Robin wants to be with her family more than anything.

Duke admits he’s been to Port Charles and visited her family. He heard rumors of Robin being alive when he was in Washington, and came to find her. He didn't tell anyone else, but wishes to get her home as soon as possible.  Robin says Duke is her hero, and compares him to the prince in the book she loved as a child.  Duke agrees, but gets the details of the story wrong.
 
Robin is surprised when Duke doesn't remember the prince’s appearance correctly. Robin tests him again and asks if he remembers their first meal of spaghetti and meatballs together. Duke remembers perfectly, but Robin tells him their dish was pizza and not spaghetti and meatballs.
 
AJ and Michael arrive at the mansion and run into Carly.
 
Robin wants to know what’s going on, because his memories are all incorrect. Duke accuses her of being too smart for her own good and removes his face.

Cesar Faison anyone?!!!!

Part of me was absolutely thrilled that MY Robin was smart enough to realize Duke was an imposter but at the same time, I wanted her not to tip her hand and see how far she could go.

I agree Perkie. Robin isn't stupid. It makes no sense that she would tell Faison that she was on to him. She should have kept her mouth shut. This moment was very plot driven and not character driven. A show is better when it is the latter.

Well, I give Robin a pass because of her brain still being scrambled by drugs, electroshock, and waking up in a Swiss clinic. Plus, I'm thrilled that Duke isn't evil. Wonder if he is actually still alive somewhere? Being kept alive for memories and to cast that old Duke face mask? As for the rest, I really hope Michael finds out that the meat-hook story is true.

Yeah, Robin is chained to a bed without help. She's not going to let the person know she's on to them. That's not Robin. Instead of having Robin say it out loud, the writers could have her doing what every soap character does, talk to herself about it. I love that it's Faison and I hope he has Duke chained up somewhere so when the real Duke sees Robin, that will inspire him to free them.

***Question**** How in the world Anna not know she was kissing someone with a rubber face???????

Love the flashbacks. I think Robin is the only soap character they can do that with.

That whole Connie courtroom drama brought the episode down. It was not needed.

Who is Carly to walk in someone's house and demand answers. Who is she to tell Monica she is going to walk around the house to see if AJ was there or not! Carly talking about AJ was rich and entitled, Carly is everything she is describing AJ to be.

Robin should have been immediately suspicious when "Duke did nothing to un-tie her from that bed.

How long did the fake Duke Lavery plan to keep Anna from touching his (latex) face? I can't recall an individual scene so far where she has touched his face, but if she had, the gig would certainly be up. Has she kissed him or anything? I guess not. Silly enough that a secret agent lady would not be able to spot a one-piece latex mask that obviously was not glued on to precisely, since Fake Duke was able to pull it off in one large piece...oh, never mind. Just sit back and enjoy the fireworks.

I could watch Monica calling Carly a conniving B-word over and over.

Crazy as the details of the story are, I'm just glad like jpp1975 that Duke isn't Duke. Thank goodness.

It's great on 2 fronts that GH is getting better and story is becoming tighter on this show. I won't say the show is great but the idea of reinvigorating the Quartermaine family, creating a new dynamic with Carly and that family and making Michael more of a young man than a skinny white kid who thinks his tough cause his daddy is a mobster is a wonderful change in direction.

And the big reveal with Duke is spectacular! I love big drama!! But my only gripe is that there is WAY too much going on in one show with so many characters that I don't really get the feeling that anything is being told to its fullest.

Lulu and Dante wanting children only a month after the poison scare and filling out the application online one day and then having an appointment the next is so far out of reality that it just isn't a great story... which it could be. There is no emotional attachment to the story other than we know the two characters but havent seen them struggle through everything. This could be a story in 3 arcs... wanting a baby and trying and mixing all that joyful sex. Then discovering the problem and going through that process and having the highs and lows. Then finally adoption. We all know that they will illegally adopt a child and then we will have the baby torn from them and it will all take place before christmas.

As for Duke... he came in during a flurry of activity with a lame reason for why he is "alive" and Anna takes him at his word and from fingerprint testing when DNA and a slew of other tests could have been done. Now he is connected to Robin and is actually an imposter. I hope this becomes a big story and isn't aomething that is thrown in until February swipes.

PLEASE END the Connie story already because it is really boring.

FINALLY - Monica got the perfect chance to call Carly a conniving BITCH! Which is, let's face it, exactly what she is! If only Monica has SLAPPED her to go with it!

I am just glad they didn't tarnish the real Duke Lavery. I am now only hoping they let him rest in peace. This storyline is just fine as it is now.

If you watch the last scene on slow-mo, you can see long gray hair on the suit that would indicate Faison.... Just read though they haven't gotten him yet, but maybe GH is just controlling spoilers....

LOL @ the Duke mask scene. It was WAY over the top and campy, but that's Ron's style. It made me think, "Is this General Hospital Impossible?" But yeah I'll go with it cause all in all it's fun drama.
Oh, and as to who's behind the mask.....It's Epiphany!!! LOLOLOL

Ohhhh How I loved Monica telling off Carly. Who does Carly think she is just walking in there demanding answers. Especially from Monica who has lost two of her children and her husband. Carly is such a B. I am so sick of how her and Sonny act- entitled indeed..

So much goody fun in Robin flashbacks and her figuring out what was up. I loved the flashback of Anna in curlers. Loved Anna and Mac chatting it up. However I could see Robin tipping her hand just because maybe she is sick of being locked up.

I thought it was going to be Helena! LOL!

If it was going to be Faison, I would think they would have revealed it on Friday. If they are holding it until Monday, it's got to be someone else.

Of course, if they don't reveal it or address it at all on Monday, it could be that they don't have Anders Hove yet.

I have to commend GH and ABC for keeping so many secrets under wraps this year. I love spoilers! They don't ruin anything for me, so "tell me everything" is my golden rule, but there are times when it's a real charge to be surprised. It has been a great year for GH in that regard!

Who else would terrify Robin so much? Except for Lisa Niles, and I swear if it's her, I'm going to hurt someone.

I can't see it being Helena. I can fanwank it that Anna didn't realize she was kissing a mask, but didn't realize that Duke was a woman? My girl Anna isn't that dumb.

I suppose if Anders Hove is unavailable or un-interested, they could plausibly re-cycle Jerry Jacks as a Plan B. Robin would be surprised to see him.

Of course Robin's horrified reaction made me think it was Jill Farren Phelps.

according to Dumbte, the guy who shot in point-blank in the chest, called his ex-wife degrading names in public, had her buried in the woods, was accused of murdering a little girl and her father ... is quirky.

when did he get on the pro-Sonny train?!

I totally believe that Robin would be dumb enough to spill her hand. She's book smart,not street smart. I Just hope real Duke is out there somewhere. And I'm ready for a Jerry return.

I was cheering at the end when the mask was removed, and then screaming at my tv when they didn't show who it was! Robin would definately be scared of Faison!

I had heard vague rumors on another site way back when KMC first announced she was actually leaving that they were working on getting AH a work visa to come work back here and that there were issues about that... so I wasn't expecting a Faison story because it that was a while ago, but I gotta say I wanted one.

I knew there was some reason Duke was acting evil and this is a very good reason! I will be very surprised if it's anyone but Faison.

Loved Monica laying into Carly, and wondered why Carly felt it was in her right to just go through Monica's mansion when she herself would never agree to having her own lemon house searched by anyone without a warrant forcing her to do so. It's just like her and Sonny being at the crypt the other day acting like they owned the joint and could just dig up anyone they wanted.

Loved Michael and AJ coming through the door obviously together with Carly standing there.

There are lots of people who believe that Kate is the alter, because Connie was the orginial, so hopefully that's going to be adressed more now. But OLTL was always written that there were ALWAYS multiple alters, so who knows where they're going with this.

I so seriously agree with this statement!!!!

I think Britt is Lisa Niles. Why else would she be so obsessed with Patrick so quickly, and be so nasty to Emma.

It was Faisons hair, people. Robin would have played along. Yes they changed her character. Guess now we won't see her for months. No happily ever after. Ellie is not whom she appears. Connie must go.
Greatest line of week. Todd: see I even am wearing black
After Carly wanted Jason.

If a man you 'unmasked' pulled off his 'face' would you look horrified?

Anna did kiss him, she's hugged him .... but if we can find excuses for Robin's uncharacteristic actions then lets remember Anna is still mourning her daughter .. unlike Starr who lost her toddler and boyfriend and managed to move on in mere months ...

Its a soap opera people. There isn't exactly years for Patrick, Starr, etc to wait to move on with their lives. As for the cheesy and campy, slap you in the face with the obvious, that is Ron's style to get used to it on GH. Anyone who says GH isn't 500 times better now than last year at this time is lying to themselves. And the suggestion that all of these vets coming back means the end of GH is not automatic. Maybe ABC realized they need to give Frank V a little room to bring people on and get viewers interested. It is working. I also think real Duke is out there somewhere, because how else would Faison get his memories? This will lead into the mind control story that started on OLTL with Todd (and will show Victor is alive). I can see Helena and Faison involved in that too. Would also be a good opportunity to bring David Heyward over from AMC....

No wonder Duke's eyebrows never moved. Maybe Ian Buchanan was wearing the mask the whole time...

GH did a great job keeping Faison under wraps. As far as any website was saying, they had been unable to convince him to come back or they were having problems getting him to LA. Robin/Anna/Robert/Faison, The Quartermaines.... Old School GH!
