I started writing these weekend rants a week ago... however this is the first in blog form! Enjoy!

• In less than 6 hours, we start a whole new week of General Hospital.  I have to say i havent seen most of last weeks episodes due to the lameness of the current storylines.  For example:  Lucky and Sam's Investigation and subsequent screen time with Jerry Jax... KeMo plays an excellent "bad girl" but havent we seen enough of that these past few years?  Also, although i must admit that i have enjoyed Johnny away from Lulu... that entire trial was a joke by the mere fact that Epiphany and Edward were placed on the jury and Scott was allowed to be special prosecuter for his own sons murder trial. 

 

• With all that being said, i might watch today for the simple fact that i have seen spoilers that allude to relationships between Ric Lansing and Claudia Zacchara as well as Nic Cassadine and Nadine Crowell.  With the lack of intellegent storyline (and couples that actually have a snowballs chance of surving) these two couples have warmed my GH loving heart during the cold winter nights that are LIASON & SKATE.  Both of which, if you have read my blog before would notice that i despise. 

 

• Unfortunatly with the increase of screen time of those couples, also brings to light the LIASON storylines.  Looks like i will be watching CLIC NIKADINE and MATT and MAXIE LUSAM scenes then FF through the rest.  Oh... what is the GH... i dont even recognize it anymore.

 

• Although i realize that the actors are not to blame for the current storylines, i do however have to name one who i was severly dissappointed in:  Steve Burton.  Whether,  he said it straight out or not, i fully believe that Steve went before TPTB and said "i want out of the Sam/Jason pairing... and i want to be with Elizabeth... do it whatever way you need to".  I realize that actors may not always enjoy their storylines, but it seems that they destroyed four major money making couples to create one couple that now they dont even know what to do with.  So one week they are sleeping together... the other Jason is saying that he cant take the risk.  All this just to appease Steve Burtons whims.  Breaking up couples, for example LnL2 and JaSam, in horrible and uncharacterstic ways was most certainly the responsibity of the writers and directors. And yes... i am biased... but i thousands of LNL2 and JaSam fan that share some of the same sentiments.  

 

• It is about 9:20 and time for me to return to my classes... where i can dream of the good ole days when 'General Hospital' was acting something i would look forward to.
